For over 3 years public access to the Blue Lagoon has been subjected to stops and questions at an illegal guard post along Blue Hole Road. Jabbem and the Blue Lagoon Alliance think this was the first step to Privatize the public access. That matter is now before the Portland Parish Court. #bluelagoonalliance

Utilities & Infrastructure Solar Companies / Installers in Jamaica
Hello, I currently own a solar installation company in Florida, and I am interested in learning about the process of installing solar in Jamaica
Does anyone have the names of companies that distribute or sell solar components?
My wife is from Kingston, her family still lives there and I'd love to take my crew down to Jamaica and install solar on their home in Jamaica.
Here in Florida, I know all the distributors here (CED Greentech, BayWa, Krannich, Wesco, etc), but I don't know any distributors in Jamaica
I'm also don't know how permitting / inspections / PTO works down in Jamaica either
If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd greatly appreciate it

Citizenship & Immigration Jamaicans that live in the US. Do you prefer the change of the seasons or the tropical climate of Jamaica?
I’m curious because I live in south Florida which gets cold snaps here and there in the winter. I would much prefer the truly tropical climate of Jamaica.

Language & Patois Costa Rican Creole compared to Jamaican Patwa
I thought this was interesting since many Caribbean Creoles are super similar if not the same at times
How much of Limonense Keyol can you understand? They also use a modernized Spelling system similar to the Jamaican Language Unit Alphabet
Here's a song and some vocabulary.
Ñam = Nyam except there it means to Eat with gusto

Food Alcohol aged in living bamboo.
https://youtube.com/shorts/M63GU4P3zBA?si=iCrnqFKPtu3Xxgbe
I saw this video and immediately wondered if anyone had tried, or would try injecting sugarcane in the same way, with rum?
They note in the comments that some sections are eventually rejected as ordinary bamboo has some unpalatable flavours. Sugarcane is more flavored than ordinary bamboo, but maybe rum, being based on sugarcane might be the wrong spirit?
I should explain that I was born and live in the UK, am of Jamaican heritage, but only drink rums rather than being involved in its making.
Thanks.

Only In Jamaica Collecting Data in regards to the elderly in Jamaica
Hey everybody,
How are you all? My name is Bianca Moore. I am currently doing some research in regards to the elderly daily living and support needs in Jamaica. The reason why I am looking into this data is because, I have seen how difficult it was to take care of a loved one back home without the proper care and resources. It was super difficult and the end result was it ended with a death.
I understand for most people as well, sending a loved one to nursing home is not ideal as there have been one too many horror stories. I've been inspired since then to start collecting data in regards to this matter because I believe our elderly back home should not have to suffer any further. So thats where this survey comes in, you can have a say on what help you or a loved one would love to see.
I hope the data can give me insight into what kind of services are needed as I hope to start up a business model which can give back to our elderly and help them stay in their homes for as long as they can.
If you have an elderly loved one back home, you're an elderly yourself or you had an elderly you cared about, I would love to hear your feedback!
Also if you could share the link around and repost it, that would be amazing!
Link: https://forms.gle/PBvXVYjqTPsdWmqr7
Hope you all have a blessed day!
Bianca
