After wins over Czechia and Spain, Australia are aiming to claim a Cup of Nations clean sweep with their third and final match against the World Cup-bound ...

Both were extremely physical in individual challenges, and each defended in tight, compact rows that almost suffocated Sam Kerr out of the game. There are definitely some parallels between the two first-halves from Czechia and Jamaica here. AU against CZ broke that down in the 2nd half as CZ ran out of puff... A really slick passage from Jamaica as they zig-zag up the field with some easy two-touch passes. A gorgeous cross-field pass by Clare Hunt falls right into Kerr's path. Interesting 1st half; JAM have taken a leaf out of CZ's book methinks; marking up and matching AU physically. She got a big round of applause from the crowd. the difference here, I think, is that JAM can run all night and then some. By Samantha Lewis and be good to your father as well ;-)

However, the hosts lifted in the second-half to seal their third win of the tournament with two more goals. The only concerning aspect of the night was a head knock that forced veteran Matildas defender Clare Polkinghorne to not return after the half-time break. It was the Matildas’ third win from three Cup of Nations matches, and their seventh victory in succession in a positive sign for the Australians ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, which starts in July. “Playing in the midfield when it’s a physical game, it’s always enjoyable The Australians clinched the four-team tournament in Newcastle on Wednesday night with a 3-0 win over Jamaica. It’s not the major prize on offer in women’s football this year, but Cup of Nations success is the ideal start to 2023 for the Matildas.

Goals from Foord, Gorry and Chidiac seal win in Newcastle as coach Tony Gustavsson praises team's belief.

It was Foord, then, who added to her never-ending highlight reel, playing a one-two with Kerr before unleashing a rasping drive which arced away from the despairing Spencer and in off the inside of the post. Her teammate’s final ball had been too late, and also too slow on a pitch which had copped 40mm of rain throughout the day. Gustavsson would have been well impressed with all of that, but he did not appear a manager impressed on the whole. Bunny Shaw was not there but Drew Spence was, and the recent Tottenham signing caught a glimpse of goal more than once in the early exchanges. If anything was off about Wednesday night it was Gustavsson’s experimental deployment of Courtney Nevin at right-back in place of Grant and Larissa Crummer on the wing for Hayley Raso, who broke her hand against Spain. Caitlin Foord did score a banger and Katrina Gorry a wonder, and substitute Alex Chidiac did hit the roof.

It provides a wealth of information on the island's signature dishes, the best places to eat, and the latest food trends. The country's unique blend of indigenous, African, Indian, and European influences results in a rich and diverse food culture that is a testament to the island's unique history and heritage. Jamaican Patty Day is a celebration of Jamaican culture and its contributions to Toronto's culinary landscape. This decision led to heated negotiations between the vendors and inspectors, and the vendors eventually prevailed on February 23rd of that year. From the historic Patty Wars of 1985 to today, Jamaicans have had a significant impact on Toronto's culinary landscape for decades. On February 23, 2023, Canadians will once again have the opportunity to indulge in one of Jamaica's most cherished snack foods as the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) celebrates Jamaican Patty Day.

It is now over one month and the clients of the ill-fated Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL) have not heard a word, whether negative or positive, ...

To begin with, the way the report was handled has left many with the impression that the commission was bent on damaging the reputation of the prime minister and by extension the country. I know that the Minister of Finance Dr Nigel Clarke is seized of the need to provide hope and that he is doing his darndest to ensure that people's investments are secure. I really do not believe that the commission had malicious intent, but the report was handled clumsily and has done reputational damage to the prime minister. What role has been assigned to this entity and is that role in conflict with what the FSC is supposed to be doing? - We welcome reader comments on the top stories of the day. Who is answerable to clients who have a legion of questions as to what is happening to their money? To the best of my knowledge, these registries hold the certificates for stocks. For what it's worth, I will pass on to my readers and the general public information I have received from Ken Tomlinson, the receiver looking into the affairs of SSL, as to where they could write for answers to questions they may have. We understand that it is now limited in its role at SSL as it has been placed under the jurisdiction of the BOJ. One is not asking for a fulsome report as that is well-nigh impossible to give at this early stage. The Ministry of Finance has since announced its intention to move toward a unified regulatory structure. My instincts tell me that when the dust settles SSL will be a bankrupt entity, people would have lost a lot of money, and it will no longer exist as a viable entity.

He explained that the Government is looking to facilitate a “new and exciting air [travel] arrangement” in Jamaica with the Dominican Republic at the centre of that arrangement. Investors from the Dominican Republic are eyeing the eastern parish of St Thomas, which is fast emerging as the new destination for development in Jamaica.

The Matildas have claimed the first silverware of the Tony Gustavsson-era with a 3-0 Cup of Nations win over Jamaica.

A one-two with Kerr left the Jamaican defence flatfooted and Foord was able to hammer the ball in from the edge of the box to seal the first piece of silverware of Gustavsson’s campaign. But the real cattle-prod came after the break with the introduction of Chidiac at the expense of Crummer. Gustavsson wanted to use this friendly tournament as a dress rehearsal for the intensity of successive World Cup games later this year and, on results alone, his side passed with flying colours.

The goal took the sting out of the game and the host saw out the rest of the game quite comfortably, even missing a few chances to add to their lead. Australia grew in confidence after the goal and put the Girlz on the backfoot for the first time in the match with Foord putting the game out of reach with a superb strike from the edge of the area. Jamaica grew into the game as the half wore on, while the 'Matildas' struggled to get a foothold and looked out of sorts.

On board the sleek catamaran, a nostalgia of the best kind was conjured with the same sounds of Sean Paul, Beenie Man, and Popcaan that we danced to at college parties years ago. From open spaces to commune, to a staff that becomes like family within a matter of hours, we knew that we had made the right decision. For some, the five-day trip would be their first experience traveling outside of the United States; for others, the first time on a plane since the pandemic. Nearly 40 years ago, American couple Braxton and Debbie Moncure bought a beach house in Bluefields, which has since turned into an intimate resort that employs residents, some of whom have worked there for over 30 years. It’s located about an hour drive from Montego Bay airport on Jamaica’s south coast—where the island’s countryside meets the sea and remains largely untouched by building development and raucous groups that often frequent other parts of the country. Past neon-colored homes, open-air roadside stalls lined with mangoes, and uninhabited mountainsides is where we agreed to meet.

As a result, the impact of menstrual health is of importance to the wider society as a whole. The time is perhaps opportune for Jamaica's female parliamentarians to debate the issues of period poverty and paid menstrual leave. We will, however, try to publish comments that are representative of all received. - We welcome reader comments on the top stories of the day. Menstruation is intrinsically related to human dignity when people cannot access safe bathing facilities and safe and effective means of managing their menstrual hygiene. The United Nations adds that menstruation-related teasing, exclusion, and shame also undermine the principle of human dignity. It is important to note that the main trade union in Spain also supported the move to have paid menstrual leave. Violations of women's sexual and reproductive health and rights are often due to deeply engrained beliefs and societal values pertaining to women's sexuality. It would be very interesting to see what happens in the Caribbean on this issue and other related issues such as period poverty. Additionally, the special rapporteur on the right to health maintains that women are entitled to reproductive health-care services and goods and facilities that are accessible economically and without discrimination. According to the Cleveland Clinic, dysmenorrhea is the medical term for painful menstrual periods which are caused by uterine contractions. The leave requires a doctor's note, and the public social security system will foot the bill.

Jamaicans have a special place in their hearts for tea, and one historical resort in Ocho Rios is preserving the classic British tradition of afternoon tea.

[](https://nnn.ng/#:~:text=bloggers outreach) [](https://nnn.ng/hausa/#=alfijir hausa) [](https://nnn.ng/i/#=tech shortner) As executive chef Maurice Henry, who has worked at Jamaica Inn for 16 years, states, it is a special event and an opportunity to relax and admire the beautiful Caribbean Sea.

Jamaican Centenarian Sybil Leslie has launched her latest book as a contribution to the effort to retain Jamaica's cultural heritage.

The series will begin in March. Sybil has published previous works, among them a series of four social studies textbooks for schools in Jamaica. The aim behind it all is to bring “these rich traditions back to life.”

Growth during 2022 was led by Hotels and Restaurants, up 48.9 per cent; Other Services, up 11.1 per cent; Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing, up nine per cent; and Transport, Storage and Communication, up six per cent,” Dr. This was disclosed by Director General of the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ), Dr. “All [sub] industries are estimated to have recorded growth in output, with the exception of the Construction, and Mining and Quarrying industries.

He said that the projected growth of three to five per cent for the January to March 2023 quarter is expected to be driven by continued “strong performances” in the Hotels and Restaurants sub-group, pointing out that preliminary airport arrivals for January 2023 grew by 63.8 per cent. Henry said that Hotels and Restaurants helped to generate an estimated Services Industry growth outturn of three per cent, and this, along with 4.3 per cent growth for the Goods Producing Industry, resulted in overall estimated economic growth of 3.4 per cent for the December 2022 quarter. Henry noted that this performance helped to spur the Services Industry to a six per cent outturn which, along with 2.1 per cent recorded by the Goods Producing industry, resulted in overall estimated growth of 5.1 per cent between January and December. Henry said that the positive outlook for January to March is based on relative stability in the macro-economy; improved optimism about the future among firms; and strengthened demand increased economic activities with most industries projected to grow. In addition, he noted that cruise passenger arrivals for the months of October and November amounted to 195,135 passengers from 68 ship calls, relative to 32,719 passengers from 24 ship calls during the corresponding period of 2021. Data from the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ) shows that the 'Hotels and Restaurants' sub-group, which largely captures tourism-related activities, grew by an estimated 23.4 per cent for the October to December 2022 quarter on the back of several positive outcomes.
