A 68-year-old Brooklyn woman died after a crew of burglars raided her apartment early Friday and bludgeoned her and her roommate with a hammer, police said.

The victim, identified by police sources as Brenda Ramos, was inside the apartment on Kings Highway near E. 94th St. in Canarsie with her 40-year-old roommate Joseph Alexander when two men and a woman burst in around 3 a.m. The intruders attacked them both with the silver hammer and searched the place for valuables. “Oh my God, that’s horrible,” said stunned neighbor Karen Jackson, 52. “There has to be really something wrong with a person to attack someone with a hammer like that, to see the life go out of them.”(nydailynews.com)…[+]

President-elect Donald Trump again took to Twitter to complain about reports that Russia hackers helped swing the election his favor, this time suggesting that the cyberattack was justified because it dug up dirt on his rival.

“Are we talking about the same cyberattack where it was revealed that head of the DNC illegally gave Hillary the questions to the debate?” he tweeted around 6 a.m. Friday. U.S. intelligence officials believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin himself played a role in the plot, in which hackers broke into Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign databases, stole embarrassing emails and leaked them to whistle-blowing site WikiLeaks.(nydailynews.com)…[+]

BRIDGETOWN – The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has approved a grant that will assist the Government of Grenada in its efforts to improve the efficiency of the country’s water and sewerage network. The Government is proposing to expand the St. George’s Water Supply System and make improvements to the sewerage system in St. George’s.

A feasibility study will be undertaken to inform how these improvements may best be facilitated. This study will update a sewerage project draft design report; prepare detailed designs for the upgrade of the Carenage/Lagoon Road Wastewater Collection System; examine the most feasible option for the expansion of the Southern St. George’s Water Supply; and formulate designs for the recommended solution.

“CDB is pleased to support this study, through resources allocated from the United Kingdom Caribbean Infrastructure Partnership Fund (UKCIF). The technical assistance provided has the potential to deliver a climate-resilient solution that will improve Grenada’s water and sewerage network, while maximising economic and social benefits for its residents,” said Andrew Dupigny, Head, Infrastructure Partnerships, CDB.

In addition to the technical assistance grant provided by CDB—utilising resources allocated from UKCIF—Grenada’s National Water and Sewerage Authority will contribute to the project. The total estimated cost of the technical assistance is £834,300.(CDB)…[+]
