		<description><![CDATA[Johnny New-come was not a real person. Johnny New-come was in fact the general name given to young Englishmen, many of whom were military officers, on their initial arrival in the British West Indies. For many of the Johnny New-comes who came to Jamaica during its thriving period as a sugar colony during the 18th century, their main objective was to seek their fortunes from the sugar industry. Unfortunately, their lives in the colonies were cut short by the deadly diseases spread by a particularly small, pesky and annoying insect: the mosquito. <span class="more-link"><a href="http://jamaicanechoes.com/2013/01/17/yellow-fever-malaria/">Continue reading &#187;</a></span><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jamaicanechoes.com&#038;blog=12988068&#038;post=3732&#038;subd=jamaicanechoes&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So what can Jamaica expect from Obama's re-election as president of the United States? Well, that remains to be seen. However, the deep interest and attention paid to the US presidential elections in Jamaica is only symptomatic of the influence that our northern neighbour has had on Jamaica's development throughout our history as a result of our geographical closeness. At times, though, both countries have not seen eye-to-eye.

One such thorny issue had to do with the low-lying offshore islets around Jamaica, specifically the Morant and Pedro Cays (pronounced 'keys' like the Florida Keys). <span class="more-link"><a href="http://jamaicanechoes.com/2012/11/12/the-cays-in-jamaica-usa-relations/">Continue reading &#187;</a></span><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jamaicanechoes.com&#038;blog=12988068&#038;post=3568&#038;subd=jamaicanechoes&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1973, in a further effort to create a permanent space in our national memory for our National Heroes, and to create a physical place for honouring our Heroes, the Government renamed the George VI Memorial Park the National Heroes Park, and suitable monuments have been erected in their memory in an area known as the Shrine. I took a stroll through the Park on Saturday, October 13, 2012, to share photos of the monuments with you. <span class="more-link"><a href="http://jamaicanechoes.com/2012/10/15/monuments-to-our-national-heroes/">Continue reading &#187;</a></span><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jamaicanechoes.com&#038;blog=12988068&#038;post=3488&#038;subd=jamaicanechoes&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've been thinking about caves for the past few days. No, not in the dark and creepy, water-dripping-in-the-background-like-in-a-horror-flick way. Nah! I've been thinking about caves in terms of their history in Jamaica. What got me thinking about caves you ask? Well, it all began last week Thursday, September 20, when I asked the following Jamaican History Question (the Jamaican History Question is promptly posted each day on Jamaican Echoes' Facebook page at 12:30 p.m EST...hint hint!):

JAMAICAN HISTORY QUESTION: These two caves stand next to each other in Hellshire, St. Catherine, and were once a ceremonial site for the Tainos. What is its name? The answer is the Two Sisters Caves. 

Caves of varying sizes and attractions are found all over Jamaica. According to the JNHT, there are more than 1000 known caves, with many more just waiting to be discovered and explored.

You may be wondering: what roles have caves, these natural geological formations, played in Jamaica's human history? Well, nuff! Read on to find out. <span class="more-link"><a href="http://jamaicanechoes.com/2012/09/27/cave-ing-into-history/">Continue reading &#187;</a></span><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jamaicanechoes.com&#038;blog=12988068&#038;post=3388&#038;subd=jamaicanechoes&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Previously, there were 22 parishes! <span class="more-link"><a href="http://jamaicanechoes.com/2012/09/13/how-the-parishes-came-to-be/">Continue reading &#187;</a></span><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jamaicanechoes.com&#038;blog=12988068&#038;post=3305&#038;subd=jamaicanechoes&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
