Saturday, August 15, 2015  -- Racquel Porter

Gully Bop
Kimauly Bull, 38, a resident of Tiverton Road in Kingston, pleaded not guilty to a charge of obtaining money by means of false pretence.
Allegations are that Bull, purporting to be Gully Bop's road manager, arranged with the complainant to have Gully Bop perform at shows in Canada during June.
The complainant reportedly sent CAD$1,240 and $2,480 via Western Union, on March 17 and 18, respectively, as part payment for the artiste to perform in Canada.
It is alleged that efforts were made by the complainant to contact the accused, but to no avail.
The matter was reported to the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA), and Bull was subsequently arrested and charged. He is scheduled to appear in court on August 24.
In April, Gull Bop's former manager Junior 'Heavy D' Fraser advised the public to be aware of unauthorised persons booking shows on the entertainer's behalf. more

MATH PUZZLE : Here's The Answer To That Fruit Math Puzzle That's Driving Everyone Coconuts.... What's half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas? Is the answer 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20. Go to www.RulaBrownNetwork.com for the correct answer.

 02/18/2016 02:01 am ET It's one of those Facebook posts that's all over the place, and -- like " the dress " or the  hidden panda  -- everyone seems to have a different take on it.  What is half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas?  On the surface, it would seem the apple has a value of 10, the bananas a value of four and the coconut a value of two. And if that were the end of the story, the answer would be 2 + 10 + 4 = 16.  But in the final frame, the fruit are slightly different.  There is half a coconut, instead of two halves in the earlier example equation that establishes a value of two. And instead of the four bananas representing the value of four, there are just three bananas.  If the numbers are reduced along with the portions of fruit, you get a totally different answer: 1 + 10 + 3 = 14.   Which is the correct answer? Like the dress, the answer is in how you see it.... See Rula Brown'...
