Here is my next story from the Associated Press. It was a press conference held to mark the finale of CANSEC 2016, an international security conference. Being that it involved the Army, it was formal and adherent of protocol (including the careful placement of the Jamaican and American flags, as it included an American Naval Admiral. At first the flags were too tall, but they were whisked away and soon fit), although it started about a half hour late. Interestingly, a Chinese media outlet based in Cuba was there, and the Jamaican official handed the first question to the reporter after referring to him as our special guest.

I should also note that Jamaicans have now been called to the polls for February 25.
