Jamaica’s High Commissioner to Canada Sheila Sealy Monteith has recommended this brilliantly-made, two-part documentary that details much of Jamaica’s march to Independence.
.
The documentary is excellent …
.
It is recommended to all - Jamaicans and non-Jamaicans - and in particular to young people. It will help bring perspective to the struggle endured to gain the independence Jamaicans enjoy today.
.
This is extremely interesting and useful information on the beginnings of the process of Jamaica’s formal independence …….

Jamaican-born scientist making strides in nerve research

Who would have thought that a little girl from Darliston in Westmoreland would turn out to be a First World scientist who may have discovered a new way to repair damaged nerves?
.
Now living in Canada, Jamaican-born Dr Patrice Smith and her colleagues at Harvard have discovered a way to repair damaged nerves by allowing the adult brain to respond to repair signals that are induced after injury.

Dr Smith explained to Flair in an interview, that as we get older, we

PROFESSOR Rex Nettleford, one of Jamaica’s brightest sons and a cultural icon, died in the George Washington University Intensive Care Unit last night, six days after he collapsed in his hotel room in Washington and four hours before his 77th birthday.
.
Nettleford, who suffered a massive heart attack, was admitted to the hospital’s intensive care unit and placed on life support. He never regained consciousness and finally passed at 8:00 pm.
