Jamaican Police Take Measures To Protect Returning Residents

Playing for England;

Reppin’ Jamaica

By Garth A. Rose

Lilly Moncrieff, like hundreds of Jamaicans living in the Diaspora, would like to return home to live the rest of her life home in Jamaica. After living and working in South Florida for the past 33 years, the 67year-old retiree yearns for “the peace and quiet” of her family home in a “little town” outside of Falmouth - Trelawny.

While there are no Caribbean teams in the 2018 World Cup, there is definitely a Caribbean-born player who remains in the competition.

Maverley, Kingston-born, Raheem Shaquille Sterling, is set to be a part of the quarterfinals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup for England as they face-off against Sweden this Saturday, July 7th for a spot in the semi-finals.

He is the lone Caribbean-born player in the 2018 World Cup, though there are a few who are of Caribbean heritage, including fellow teammates Ashly Young and Kyle Walker and France's Presnel Kimpembe.

Sterling played in the fiery and incident laden match against Colombia on Tuesday, July 3rd as the two sides vied for a quarter-final sport. He started up front alongside England Captain Harry Kane and performed admirably as he held up the ball well in their final match in the round of 16.

Sterling was one of several England players subjected to roughhouse treatment from an imposing Colombia side. He was the one who pleaded with American referee Mark Geiger to book Colombia player Yiri Mina just before half time with the Barcelona centre-half appearing to prevent the Manchester City forward's run into the penalty area by grabbing his shirt.

As the players made for the tunnel after the half time whistle, Colombia assistant coach Eduardo Urtasun, attempted to block Sterling's path and dropped his shoulder in the direction of the 23-year-old's chest.

Sterling, to his credit, kept his cool. He turned around towards Urtasun but continued to make his

Moncrieff says she is heartened by a recent report that the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), has announced that additional security systems are to be put in place to protect returning residents to the island.

The JCF, in a recent statement, assured returning residents that their safety and security remains a high priority of the organization, adding that strategies and support systems are currently being bolstered for their protection.

In the UK, Canada and here in the US, Jamaicans wanting to return home to live, have expressed concern about potential danger from crime. continues on A8 – Returning Residents

Rev. Dr. Mark Bozzuti-Jones, a nationally recognized and much-admired Episcopalian priest at Trinity Wall Street parish, one of four immigrants who were presented with this year's Hamilton Immigrant Achievement Award at Federal Hall on Wall Street, on a day when millions across the U.S. marched in protest of the Trump administration's growing antiimmigrant policies.

He received his award at the site of the first capital of the United States and where George Washington became the first American President in 1789. Federal Hall is also where the Nevis-born immigrant, Alexander Hamilton, became the first America Secretary of the Treasury on September 11. 1789.

Rev. Dr. Bozzuti-Jones was born in Kingston, Jamaica and went on to study philosophy at Loyola University in Chicago before moving on to receive his master of divinity from the Jesuit School of Theology of Berkeley, California, and a master of arts degree in creative writing from the University of San Francisco.

He began his religious career as a Jesuit priest doing missionary work in Belize, Brazil, Guyana and Mexico before going on the join the Anglican Communion. He is the author of a variety of books, including two books on African-American spirituals.

The other recipients of the 2018 Alexander Hamilton Immigrant Achievement Award were Irish immigrant Maeve Higgins; French immigrant Jean Claude Gruffat and South Korean born Dr. Jung Kim. Hamilton, who is widely credited with saving the young US nation from ruin with his brilliant financial plans to successfully find the new government, and which led the United States to become the most successful nation on Earth over the next 200 years, is buried in Trinity churchyard at the corners of Wall Street and Broadway.

Jamaica Looks To Music Tourism Jamaica's Tourism Minister, Edmund Bartlett, has pointed to music tourism as a way of expanding the sector, based on Jamaica's strength as the region's top entertainment destination.

Addressing a recent graduation ceremony in the western parish of St. James, Bartlett said that in order to fully capitalize, “we are positioning” the tourism sector to work strategically with the music industry to create valuable products and experiences for visitors.

“Our music continues to set Jamaica apart from rival destinations,” the minister pointed out. “Each year more and more reggae music fans converge on the island to enjoy great music and the offerings of a remarkable destination.

The resounding success of music festivals like Reggae Sumfest and Sting have helped to enhance our international profile significantly.”

“We have to give visitors more things to do when they come to our island. We have to tap into their passion points, and music is a great way to start. Simply put, we are placing a special focus on developing entertainment tourism as part of our growth strategy.”

Bartlett

Bartlett said while the ministry is committed to fostering the continued development of the entertainment industry and its full integration into the tourism product, he

is fully cognizant that there is still more to be done to maximize the potential of “this important” sub-sector.

“So, as we put in place the framework to

Convicted Caribbean-Born Terrorist Dies In US Prison A 66-year-old Caribbean-born man, who was serving a life sentence after being convicted in 2010 on terror charges, has passed away in a New York prison, according to NewsAmericasNow.com.

Abdul Kadir, the former Guyana-born parliamentarian, was convicted for plotting along with four others to blow up fuel tanks at the John F Kennedy Airport. He died on June 28, 2018.

Kadir was sentenced by a US court to life while his co-conspirator and fellow Guyanese, Abdel Nur was sentenced to 15 years.

Kadir, had maintained his innocence and testified that he was not involved in the terrorism scheme but had feigned interest in the hopes its

architects would help him raise money to build a mosque in Guyana. From 2001 to 2006, he had served as a regional Member of Parliament for the then opposition Peoples National Congress Reform, (PNCR). He had also previously served as mayor of Linden from 1994 to 1996.

Kareem Ibrahim, who was also charged and convicted in the same plot, died in a US prison in 2016 at the age of 70. Russell Defreitas, who was also convicted in the JFK airport bomb plot remains in prison on a life sentence. He is currently at a highlevel prison in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Nur is currently at a medium security prison in Beaver, West Virginia and is set for release in 2020.

further diversify our tourism product, we are well aware of the enormous benefits if we get this right,” he said. “We have to give visitors more things to do when they come to our island. We have to tap into their passion points, and music is a great way to start. Simply put, we are placing a special focus on developing entertainment tourism as part of our growth strategy.”

Bartlett said that while the country's goal of welcoming five million visitors annually remains on target, there is simply no room for complacency.

He said that as good as the current offerings may be, stakeholders should always be looking to innovate and focus on growing earnings per visitor and retaining more of those earnings in Jamaica.

“It goes without saying that entertainment is an area in which we are world beaters,” he added. “Therefore, we are taking the necessary steps to capitalize on the tremendous potential Jamaica has in this area to significantly boost our arrivals and tourism earnings.”

St. Lucia Opposition Urges Government To Take A Stance On Marijuana Leader of the main opposition St. Lucia Labor Party, (SLP), Philip J. Pierre, has asserted that this country must take a position on marijuana, declaring that it is an issue that can no longer be dodged.

Pierre recalled that the 2016 election manifesto the SLP declared that the party would have a commission to discuss marijuana. He noted that the then prime minister, Dr. Kenny Anthony, said the island would go the way of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on the issue.

“Now that horse has bolted – CARICOM has gone their own way,” the SLP leader explained. He observed that Grenada, Antigua and Trinidad and Tobago have all gone their different ways. “St Lucia must take a position,” Pierre told reporters. The Castries East MP expressed the view that for a start, the criminal record should be cleared of the names of people who have been convicted for small quantities of marijuana.

Pierre said the marijuana issue should be considered, not only from the point of view of smoking the herb, but from an economic standpoint as well.

Hurricane season is here.

Have you taken the necessary precautions in case South Florida is hit?

Brad, Miami, FL “No, we haven't started prepping for hurricane season. We have slide shutters though so putting them up is pretty simple when the time comes.”

Riley, Sunrise, FL “I hate hurricane season, despite people saying Florida's weather is bi-polar. To me it's crazy that the weather can change drastically in seconds, so when it comes close to hurricane season I feel like just as quickly as people say it will change for the good, it could take a turn for the worst, so I am always prepared for hurricane season. In Florida you should always be.”

Mariah, Pembroke Pines, FL “My family pretty must just get together, bringing a case of water per person, a bottle and we all contribute to the 'hurricane food.' Mostly we just party until we lose power. One thing for sure, we stock up on batteries and try to avoid candles because with no A/C, Florida heat is no joke.”

Marco, Miami, FL “Well to be honest I haven't started preparing and gathering things for this hurricane season. But now that it's been brought to my attention I think we should start looking for new ply wood and clean our generator.”

Bianca, Miramar, FL “It's never too early to start preparing for hurricane season. I have already started purchasing cases of water bottles because of the issues finding water last hurricane season.”

Tomas, Miami, FL “My family and I have definitely started taking steps towards preparing for the hurricane season in case Florida gets hit again. One thing for sure, we got ply wood already in the event we have to board up the windows.”

Maria, Sunrise, FL No, I haven't started preparing for the hurricane season, but being asked this question I honestly need to start. Last year when we got hit, the price gauging was absolutely ridiculous!

So tomorrow when I'm grocery shopping, I'll be sure to pick up a couple cases of water, tuna and other canned goods.”

Nikki, Sunrise, FL “Absolutely! Living here in Florida, random rainy days feel like mini-hurricanes. I keep my house fully equipped with cases of water and canned goods. My Husband has already purchased cleaning material for our generator!”

Mikey, Pembroke Pines, FL “This is a funny and ironic question for me to be asked today, mainly because my wife and I were just talking about this. No, we have not yet started to prepare but I am fully aware that I should. My main concern is to make sure I have enough flood control for my home because I know I'm not staying home if we get hit again.”

The Quest For Social Equality Is Not A Bad Thing The unexpected victory of 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a New York City Democratic congressional primary election last week has sparked even more partisan political vitriol on social media, especially Twitter.

A self-described Democratic Socialist, Ocasio Cortez's victory over 10-term Democratic incumbent Representative Joe Crowley in New York's 14th congressional district, seems to have some folks branding the Democratic Party as “socialist.”

These labels were applied to Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and other Democrats before.

America is said to be a country with a very unbalanced scale; where most of the population struggle financially to provide themselves and/or their family with basic necessities like healthcare.

On the other hand, there's an extremely financially well-off minority who enjoy, several times over, the benefits and privileges of that of the vast majority by way of traveling a different social path.

However, there is no need to place a label on those are wealthy or those who seek to improve the lot of the majority. Providing the means for everyone in a community to have adequate access to the socioeconomic benefits can make for a better society.

Countries that provide their citizens with affordable universal healthcare, access to higher living wage, affordable housing and affordable child care are usually countries with a Democratic Socialist ideology.

To the north of the United States, Canada provides these benefits, but Canada nor its government is not branded socialist. The United Kingdom, a traditional ally, also has Democratic Socialist policies that provide access to social benefits such as free education and good health care for most of the British society.

These are countries with a social conscience, who are convinced a basic restructuring of the distribution of the income within the society can improve the lot of millions who simply cannot afford

to provide for themselves or their families.

In a perfect society, a Utopia, the more well-off in that society would create a system to provide necessary social benefits to those less off. But Utopias are the stuff of dreams.

It has been the tradition of Democrats and the governments they form, to seek to provide these necessary benefits.

However, some Democrats may seek a more radical approach, wanting to impose more taxes on the well-off to provide more benefits to more people.

These radical Democrats like Mr. Sanders and the young Ms. Ocasio-Cortez are not looked at like our Canadian neighbors or the British ally, but instead

like plain socialists who want to pull the foundation from under the privileged class.

A socially-just society can only be created by a government strong and bold enough to strive to provide the social and economic benefits such as education; that in many ways can only make us a better nation.

There are definite signs of more youthful, brash energetic politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ben Jealous of Maryland, who are willing to influence the creation of such a government.

But, if this new breed of politicians is committed to providing social justice, it will take a lot because they certainly have a long road ahead.

LA SECTION HAITIENNE

Haitians In Chile To Get Humanitarian Visa While the US seeks the deportation of thousands of Haitians, many living in Chile this week began applying for a new humanitarian visa which will facilitate the reunification of family members.

Haitians, according to AFP news agency, can now apply for the 12-month visa if they already have family living in Chile. The measure was announced in April as Chile looked to grapple with an influx of migrants, mostly from crisis-hit Venezuela and Haiti.

The country will issue 10,000 such humanitarian visas a year, even though it has actually tightened the rules for Haitians, cancelling a previous tourist visaon-arrival and imposing a new system that requires Haitians to apply for a 30-day visa in their capital Port-au-Prince.

"The importance of this document is to allow children to not be separated from their families, as well as to give them protection, dignity and wellbeing," said chancellor Roberto Ampuero, according to El Mercurio newspaper.

The measures were announced to find a solution to the wave of undocumented foreigners arriving in Chile over the last four years.

Accidents Killed 16 In One Weekend Alone Sixteen people were killed by accidents during the weekend of June 29th to July 1st in Haiti while another 50 were injured.

That's according to the Haitian organization, Stop Accidents, which fights against traffic accidents throughout country.

"90 % of accidents are due to bad behavior, including the use of mobile phones," Dr. Garnel Michel, Director General of the National Ambulance Center, (CAN), told Haiti Libre.

He also said that road accidents are among the 10 leading causes of death among 15- to 29-year-olds in Haiti.

According to the latest WHO data published in 2017 Road Traffic Accidents Deaths in Haiti reached 1,642 or 1.99% of total deaths. The age adjusted Death Rate is 19.21 per 100,000 of population ranks Haiti #87 in the world.

Vitas Healthcare Sponsorship Serving Jamaicans In Need The new Good Shepherd Medical Center opened its doors in Montego Bay, Jamaica, on June 6, 2018, and is serving the island's poor and needy.

Sir Patrick Allen, the Governor General of Jamaica, hosted the official opening, which was attended by supporters from South Florida, including representatives of VITAS Healthcare, a longtime supporter of the project.

Gov. Allen noted that as a teaching clinic, the medical complex would have a lasting impact on the quality of healthcare on the island.

Thanks to the continuing support of VITAS Healthcare, the center operated by Friends of Good Shepherd Foundation of Montego Bay, a local charity on the island, provides general medical care, eye care and dental services to indigent adults, children and elderly. The complex includes a chapel and nine suites for visiting teams of volunteer doctors and nurses. It is projected to serve over 30,000 residents per year.

Through mission trips beginning in 2014, staff for VITAS Healthcare, the leading provider of end-of-life care in the U.S., has dedicated time, expertise, medical and other supplies to Friends of Good Shepherd International's charity works.

“Our staff has a commendable spirit of compassion and love for those in need in Jamaica,” says Donna Borland, VITAS general manager in Broward County. In granting a check for $5,000 to support the efforts of Friends of Good Shepherd International, Borland praised the ongoing partnership.

“We are proud to sponsor and help support this much-needed healthcare facility that serves Jamaica's indigent communities, where no one is turned away.”

Returning Residents

Borland offered the gift on behalf of VITAS' Broward, Dade-Monroe and Palm Beach programs and reaffirmed their commitment to continue sending donations of food, clothing and supplies.

Marie Buteau, president of the Florida-based Friends of Good Shepherd International, paid tribute to VITAS for its continued assistance to Hope Hospice, Mustard Seed Communities (home to children with disabilities and/or HIV) and the new medical complex located in Montego Bay. “The complex, built at a cost of $3 million, is a major accomplishment,” President Buteau said. “Efforts to fund this project began in 2011. It is a great benefit to the people of Jamaica.”

The Golden Boot Race Heats Up

Mbappe

The race for the World Cup 2018 Golden Boot is heating up.

In 2014 Colombia’s James Rodriguez went home as the top scorer with just six goals – but his tally is likely to be well beaten in Russia.

Some of the best forwards in the world – from Kylian Mbappe, to Romelu Lukaku to England’s very own Harry Kane – are all in goal-scoring form, with records likely to be broken.

So far, the top goal scorer in Russia is England’s Harry Kane.

Kane is on course to become England’s first winner of the Golden Boot since Gary Lineker in 1986, after his penalty against Colombia took his tally this tournament to six goals.

The Tottenham striker opened the scoring against Colombia from the spot

Kane

and also netted in the shootut - although only goals in normal time count to his golden boot tally.

Meanwhile Lukaku and Cristiano Ronaldo are tied on four goals each, although it is impossible for Ronaldo to win the award given that Portugal crashed out in the Round of 16 to Uruguay.

Lukaku has scored two in each of Belgium’s games so far, the first time that had happened for 32 years before Kane repeated the feat 24 hours later against Panama.

Kane’s five goals would have been enough to win the Golden Boot in two of the last three World Cups (Diego Forlan in 2010 and Miroslav Klose in 2006) with six goals being the winning tally in every tournament except three since 1974.

The entire incident appeared totally unprovoked. He was substituted at 1:22 hrs into the match by Jamie Vardy as England went on to beat Colombia in a 4-3 penalty shoot-out.

Sterling and his mother moved to London when he was five, three years after his absent father was murdered in Jamaica. He went on to attended Copland School in Wembley, North West London.

Sterling began his career at Queens Park Rangers before signing for Liverpool in 2010. He represented England at under-16, under-17 and under-21 level before being capped at full level by the national team in November 2012. This is his second world cup after also playing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. In July 2015, following a lengthy dispute over a new contract, he was signed by Manchester City in a transfer potentially worth £49 million, the highest transfer fee ever paid for an English player.

In December 2017, Sterling was attacked outside Manchester City's training ground by a man who used racist language towards him. Four days later, 29-year-old Karl Anderson, a convicted football hooligan, pleaded guilty to racially aggravated common assault and was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison and a £100 fine.

Sterling has an M16 rifle tattooed on his leg.

He received criticism from anti-violence groups but said that the tattoo had deeper meaning and referred to his father who was killed when he was two years old.

He is engaged to Paige Miliam, a 23-year-old model from North London whose parents are from the Caribbean. She works alongside PrettyLittleThing as one of their social media influencers and has 39k Instagram followers.

She and Sterling met at a local youth club aged 12 but didn't become an official item until they were in their late teens. They now live together with their son in his Cheshire mansion after he joined Manchester City in 2015.

The Top 20 Fastest Players Of The World Cup So Far The top 20 fastest players of the 2018 World Cup so far have been revealed - and somehow speed demon Kylian Mbappe does not feature.

The PSG sensation turned on the jets in a huge way against Argentina in the round of 16 clash, en route to a two-goal, match-winning performance in the thrilling 4-3 victory last Saturday.

Mbappe breezed past the entire Argentine midfield and defence by displaying some quite incredible pace, before being clumsily brought down by Marcos Rojo for a penalty 13 minutes in.

It was Usain Bolt levels of speed from the 19-year old boywonder, with plenty of people having his pace down as 37 or 38km/h.

However, FIFA statistics have recorded that sprint as 32.4km/h. It's still very fast, but not enough to make the top 20 - which is joint-topped by Mbappe's idol, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portugal talisman may be 33 but he proved he's still got some serious pace to burn, reaching a ridiculous 34km/h when he darted 80 yards up the pitch from a corner during a counter attack in the 3-3 draw with Spain, as per The Mirror.

The five-time Ballon d'Or isn't alone on that impressive number though, as Croatia's Ante Rebic has also recorded the very same speed and is therefore joint first.

Peru's Luis Advincula, who we knew was rapid beforehand after a clip of him in action went viral, took third place with 33.8km/h, while Colombia's Santiago Arias was just behind on 33.6km/h.

England speedsters Kyle Walkers and Jesse Lingard are one of four players representing the Three Lions in the top 20 - with both tied in fifth place on 33.5km/h.

The other two, nippy forwards Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling, are also level in 13th place along with a slew of other players, having generated a top speed of 33.1km/h according to data.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee fined the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) over $70,000 (70,000 Swiss francs) for violating media and marketing rules at the World Cup in Russia, the FIFA press service said on Thursday.

According to the press service, Croatia team members demonstrated unapproved beverage products during their round of 16 match against Denmark in Nizhny Novgorod on Sunday.

The Disciplinary Committee also issued a warning to HNS for violating FIFA outfitting rules as goalkeeper Danijel Subasic showed a personal photo after Croatia's 3-2 win on penalties over Denmark.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will continue until July 15, with the matches being played in 11 cities across Russia.

England's John Stones calls Colombia 'dirtiest team' he's faced

Quality vision care for the entire family!

Croatia Football Federation ned $70,000

“Come See the Difference”

England defender John Stones described Colombia as the "dirtiest team I've ever come up against'' and said his team's ability to rise above the provocation is a sign of its growing maturity at the Fifa World Cup. England won a penalty shootout Tuesday (Wednesday NZ time) after a feisty, physical round-of-16 game finished 1-1 following extra time and with eight yellow cards handed out by the referee - tying for the most issued in any game in the tournament. Colombia's players received six of them.

“I've never seen a game like this before and how they behaved,'' said Stones, who has played five years in the English Premier League and four years for England. "There were things that we've never experienced before.''

Save Your Vision

Let's Have A Heart-To-Heart

By Kelsey Deidrick According to the Centers for Disease Control, (CDC), the number one cause of death in the Caribbean and AfricanAmerican communities is heart disease.

People of African and Caribbean heritage are at a much greater risk of developing heart disease than most other ethnicities, leading to a lower life expectancy and a poor quality of life.

We have no control over our gender or race; however, we do have control over the modifiable factors that cause heart disease.

There are three main conditions that increase the risk of heart disease – High Blood Pressure, Obesity and Diabetes.

You can lower the risk of these

conditions through a healthy diet, exercise and regular visits to your primary care physician. Many medications used to control high blood pressure and diabetes are free at Publix Supermarkets. These medications include amlodipine, lisinopril and metformin. Other medication cost only $2.50 per month including clonidine, clopidogrel, furosemide, hydralazine, hydrochlorothiazide, warfarin, losartan, metoprolol, spironolactone, triamtereneHCTZ, glimepiride and simvastatin.

It is also important to know the warning signs indicating heart problems. If you or someone you know experiences chest pain, shortness of breath, pain radiating to the shoulders and arms, neck or jaw pain, slurring of speech, face drooping, or arm

By Dr. Melanie Reese

Research suggests African-Americans may carry a gene that makes them more salt sensitive, increasing the risk of high blood pressure.

For the young and the old, one of the more pleasant forms of exercise is dancing, and not necessarily at a night-club. Simply turn on the radio or slip in a CD with reggae, soca, salsa or some other pulsating/rhythmic music genre and dance to good health for 30-minutes every day.

Swing your hips, arms, legs, contract your stomach and buttocks and sweat.

Getting an eye exam is the first step that you need to take to save your vision. Adults, especially those over age 40, should have their eyes tested yearly; not only to keep their prescriptions for glasses or contacts current, but also to check for early signs of eye disease.

Your eye doctor can detect common eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, dry eyes, floaters and macular degeneration. The health of your eyes is also an indicator of your overall health.

Eye doctors are often the first health care providers to detect systemic diseases such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Annual eye exams are not just for adults.

Children need to get regular eye exams as well.

Healthy vision is essential to a child's ability to learn and achieve their academic potential. Most people think that just because a child can see the eye chart at a vision screening at school or the pediatrician's office, that that means that they have perfect vision.

A child who can see 20/20 can still have a vision problem. It is important for parents to know that vision screenings are not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam. Even if your child seems to be able to see OK, and doesn't complain, you still need to schedule an eye exam.

Routine eye exams are important for everyone, no matter your age. In honor of Save Your Vision Month, make sure you schedule your eye exam this month, if you haven't already had an exam this year.

Common Sense, Easy Exercises

By Joannie Logan

Not everyone has the time to visit a gym regularly. If you are among those who can't find the time here are some common sense, easy exercises.

Walking Walking is one of the easiest ways to be physically active regularly, lose weight and become healthier. People who walk regularly, at least 20 minutes daily in a brisk manner, burn more calories than those who make weekly visits to a gym.

Aim to walk 10,000 steps daily, burning up to 400 calories. To keep track of your walking, use a pedometer or exercise your brain by counting your steps while you walk.

You'll be surprised how many steps you can take within 30 minutes by simply walking in or around your house, garden, office or the shopping mall. Just walk!

Swimming Assuming one has easy access to a pool or live near the beach, swimming, like walking, is one of the most effective exercises. When one swims, all the muscles are engaged. There are several public pools and beaches in South Florida, where one can swim even a few times monthly.

Home Exercises Burn calories, lose weight and feel great with simple exercise at home. These exercises include: walking (of course); jogging on the spot, stretches, sits-ups, pushups, pull-ups (using a door jam), stairs

Many people believe that having good vision means that their eyes are healthy; but that is not always the case. Regular comprehensive eye exams can ensure that you not only maintain good vision, but that you keep your eyes, and ultimately your body, healthy as well.

climbing, stomach crunches, rope-skipping, and/or working out with a medicine ball.

Take periodical breaks from the TV, computer and the Smart-Phone and simply walk around the room, stretch or jog on the spot.

Vybz Kartel Appeal Trial Starts Next Week Dancehall star, Vybz Kartel's appeal trial is set to get underway on Monday, July 9th in Kingston. Kartel's appeal case is set to begin in the Jamaica Court of Appeal. It's been four years since Kartel has been waiting to present his case in front of the appeal court judges.

Sean Paul Releases EP Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning artist, Sean Paul, has released his first Extended Play (EP) titled 'Mad Love - the Prequel.'

The nine-track EP speaks to the appeal and reach of Paul's music over the years as he collaborates with other international artistes such as Ellie Goulding, Jhené Aiko and Stefflon Don among others.

Sean Paul, who was recently presented with a plaque from the Recording Industry Association of America, (RIAA), for selling 26 million records, has been enjoying an unbroken string of massive hit singles in the past two years.

This includes, most recently, the single 'Body,' featuring Atlanta superstars Migos, which was the follow up to the worldwide hit 'No Lie,' featuring Dua Lipa.

Additionally, he recorded 'Tek Weh Yuh Heart' with Tory Lanez; the Clean Bandit collaboration, 'Rockabye,' which spent nine weeks at number one in the UK charts, and his Grammy-nominated collaboration with Sia, titled 'Cheap Thrills.'

His attorney, Tom Tavares-Finson, reportedly says he is prepared for the case and is confident that they have a solid case, according to Urban Islandz.

On March 13, 2014, Vybz Kartel, whose real name Adidja Palmer, and his coaccused, Shawn “Storm” Campbell, Kahira Jones, and André St John, were convicted for the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams. Another co-accused, Shane Williams, had his charges dropped after cops were unable to link him to the murder. Law enforcement authorities say Lizard was a friend of the artist and was killed over two missing guns belonging to the dancehall icon.

Kartel was sentenced to life on April 3, 2014. In 2014, Kartel's legal team formally filed legal documents for his appeal. In March 2017, Kartel was given the green light to proceed with his appeal after the Court of Appeal reviewed his case and ruled that he has grounds for a new trial. The appeal trial date was originally set for February 19 of this year, but his legal team asked for more time to prepare for the case.

The trial was then pushed back to July 9, 2018.

'Scandal' Actress Pays Tribute To Immigrant Grandparents ‘Scandal' actress, Kerry Washington, on Saturday, June 30th, paid tribute to her Caribbean immigrant roots as she joined millions across the U.S. in protesting Donald Trump's zero tolerance antiimmigration policies that has left thousands of children still separated from their parents.

Speaking at the “Families Belong Together” anti-Trump rally in New York City, Washington made it clear she too had immigrant roots.

“My grandparents on my mother's side came to this country through Ellis Island in the '30s from the Caribbean, and they came here like every immigrant, seeking better opportunities because of a lack of opportunity

in their land, running from poverty, running from a place where they couldn't fulfill a dream,” she said. “I am the fulfillment of that dream.”

Washington added that her grandparents' names are on the wall at Ellis Island “just like so many other grandparents of those who seem to have forgotten that they too are descended from

Mavado Looking At High-Powered Defense Team For Son's Murder Case Jamaican dancehall singer, Mavado, is reportedly set to hire and high-powered legal defense team to represent his son who is facing murder charges.

Urban Islandz reports indicate that the singer has expressed his son's innocence in the charges laid against him and vows to fight for his freedom with everything he's got. One of the criminal defense attorneys he is reportedly looking at is Vybz Kartel lawyer, Tom TavaresFinson, who is widely regarded as one of the best in Jamaica.

Mavado has been staying away from

Jamaica because he believes that his life will be in danger if he returns to the island. He also thinks that the police force is trying to set him up for the same

murder charge his son is facing.

Mavado's 16-year-old son was arrested and charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, arson, and illegal possession of a gun and ammunition. The teenager has maintained his innocence and is currently held without bond in a juvenile center in Kingston.

As for Mavado, there is no word yet on if or when he will return to Jamaica to meet with police officers. However, Jamaican law enforcement officials say they are prepared to have him extradited if necessary.

And insisted that she wanted everyone listening to know that they “mattered.”

Trump's “zero tolerance” immigration policy has resulted in more than 2,000 children remaining in detention centers, separated from their parents. Some as young as three are reportedly being taken to court and asked to make their case for asylum in the U.S. without their parents.

The June 30th “Families Belong Together” protests was held in over 700 communities around the country and saw thousands of all races, religion and gender come out to express their opposition against the Trumpian policies.

Many who joined the rallies were celebrities including not just Washington, but Alicia Keyes, America Ferrera, Lin Miranda and John Legend.

PUMA, Bolt Raise Millions For UNICEF Despite losing a recent celebrity charity match at Old Trafford 4-3 on penalties, Jamaican Olympian Usain Bolt and his PUMA World XI raised millions for the charity.

Usain Bolt

Bolt, who scored in the penalty shootout after the teams played to an enthralling draw, was possibly the biggest drawcard for the game that included a number of celebrities and former footballers.

The draw was big as UNICEF was able to raise a recordbreaking £5,540,259 or over USD 6 million from the event.

Soccer Aid for Unicef, as the event is known, is an original pro-celebrity charity football match founded in 2003, that this year featured stars like Sir Mo Farah, Robbie Williams, Gordon Ramsay and Damien Lewis plus footballing legends including Eric Cantona, Clarence Seedorf, Jaap Stam, Edwin Van Der Sar and Patrick Kluivert. Since 2003, Soccer Aid has raised £24 million, but never had the event brought in as much as the day Bolt led the World XI team onto the pitch.

Kirani James Establishes New Track Record Former World and Olympic champion, Grenadian Kirani James, continued his comeback with a record-setting victory as he won the 400-meters on Saturday at the Aliann Pompey Invitational.

The Grenadian came home in a new track record time of 44.99 seconds, comfortably dismissing a field lacking any true star quality at the Leonora Track and Field Centre.

Nigerian Chidi Okezie ran second in 45.97 while Guyanese Winston George, a two-time Olympian, crossed the line third in 46.13.

Running out of late four, James was away quickly, making up the stagger down the backstretch to be the favorite with 200 meters left to run.

Coming off the final turn, James was the clear leader and had no challengers over the last 100 meters.

After revealing last month that he was suffering with Graves Disease, an auto-immune disease that affects the thyroid and kept him out of action for over a year, James said he was using the comeback to regain his touch.

FIFA Bans St. Vincent Soccer President

Dacres And Russell Win At Hungary Track Meet

FIFA's independent ethics committee has banned the president of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation, Venold Coombs, from all soccer activities two years, Reuters News reports indicate.

Coombs breached rules on bribery and corruption, conflicts and interest, and loyalty, the committee said on Tuesday, following an investigation into the resale of tickets for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Coombs, whose ban is effective immediately, was also fined $40,000.

Jamaican national record holder Fedrick Dacres and Janieve Russell were the Jamaican winners at Monday's 8th edition of the Istvan Gyulai Memorial Track and Field Meet in Hungary.

Dacres, who has been exhibiting tremendous form this season, threw 67.24-meters to win the men's discus ahead of Lithuania's world champion Andrius Gudzius who threw 66.33-meters.

Russell, the national champion, posted 54.16 seconds to win the women's 400-meters hurdles over Olympic champion Dalilah Muhammad of the United States in 54.46 while fellow Jamaican Leah Nugent was sixth in 56.49 seconds.

Elsewhere, another Jamaican national champion Tyquendo Tracey clocked 10.22 seconds to place 4th in the men's 100 meters won by American Mike Rodgers in 10.12 seconds.
