High School-Bound Twins
Paula and Peter Imafidon are just like any other 9-year-olds. They love laughing, playing on the computer and fighting with each other. What sets these twins apart from their peers, though, is that they are, hands down, prodigies who are about to enter high school and make British history as the youngest to do so.

Jamaicans overseas urged to invest in country
Published: Saturday | May 23, 2009
Jamaicans overseas are being urged to invest in their country to help the island weather the current financial hurricane sweeping the globe.
Speaking at the 2009 Jamaica National Building Society’s (JNBS) Outlook for The Future series in London and Birmingham, Jamaican officials said the island was ripe with investment opportunities and needed home-grown investors to capitalise on them.
“It’s an investment paradise as well as a tourism paradise,” said Laurence Jones, regional head of the European arm of the Jamaica Trade Investment (JTI). He told scores of Jamaicans and their descendants, who came out to the Royal Geographical Society in London, that “this is the time we need you to show your commitment to Jamaica”.

When it comes to firsts, Michelle Obama seems to break new ground every day. Of course, being the first black first lady is at the top of the heap. But she’s first in many other “first lady” categories, too.
As the media assesses her husband’s first 100 days in office tomorrow, we look at the mark she has made in her short time in the White House:
