Education Ministry orders Manchester schools closed

The Ministry of Education has directed all schools in Manchester to be closed, after two cases of Influenza A H1N1 (formerly called swine flu) were detected in two students and is also directing that all graduation functions be cancelled.

The New Roads Primary School in Westmoreland has also been closed amid concerns about an influenza outbreak at the institution. There has been NO confirmation of any cases of Influenza A H1N1 at the school, but the Ministry of Education is closing the institution out of an abundance of caution.

AS WE SEE IT

A GAPING HOLE IN OUR RURAL ECONOMY

On the front page of its Sustainability Report 2007, Alumina Partners of Jamaica, obviously buoyed by one of its best production performances in their history, close to 1,650,000 metric tones, boldly proclaimed that, “ the challenges we face are opportunities to embrace while we move towards sustainability as partners in Jamaica’s future’, what a huge difference only two years can make.

SET IT STRAIGHT

TRANSFATS ... A little good but A LOT OF HARM

I am not really a fast food addict, but I do enjoy the occasional treat of fried chicken, hamburgers and most of all, french fries. People all over Jamaica (and the world) seem to spend a lot of time picking up food at the various drive up windows to be found scattered all around the globe.

This morning, in spite of my fading memory, I was reminded of something I had heard a while ago regarding transfats because of something that was on today’s news and so I looked it up on the internet. The following is an extract of what I found compliments of Wikipedia: “Transfat is an unsaturated fat which contains trans-isomer fatty acids. It might be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated.

DEAR ANDREA

Harassed by Boss

Dear Andrea,

It is a pleasure to read your column each week with the wonderful advice that you are giving. I am 24 years old and I live with my girlfriend.

I have a female boss who is in her early 40’s and she treats me different from the other workers. She wants me to stay back late in the evening to work and then she would come and massage my shoulder while I’m working and say some sexual things.

If my girlfriend comes to the office, my boss always finds something for me to do and say I can’t take lunch at that time. It is really getting to me and it is causing problems in my relationship because she suspects that my boss is up to something. I love my girlfriend very much but I can’t just leave my job and go home. Please tell me how to handle this situation.
