Another Murder In May Pen

The Clarendon police said that, despite a heavy security  detail, gunmen struck with deadly force, killing a yet to be identified male in the vicinity of the clock tower and Seven Roads area of May Pen just  after 12 a.m.
"We are yet to ascertain the victim's identity, but what we can tell you is that he is a male in his late 20," a senior investigator at the Clarendon police divisional headquarters told The Gleaner.
"From our investigation, the deceased was standing in the vicinity of the clock tower and Seven Roads when the assailant or assailants approached and open fire. The police responded and rushed the injured man to the May Pen Hospital where he was pronounced dead," said the senior investigator who did not wish to be identified.
Prior to the incident in St James, RJR reported yesterday that the police had indicated that 1,300 murders had been committed since the start of the year.
Last year's toll was surpassed in November.

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'...
