telecommunications provider for the 2014 Jamaica International Invitational,”
said Dr. Warren Blake, President of the Jamaica Athletics Administration
Association (JAAA). “Flow’s broadband technology plays an important role in the
staging of the meet by providing the internet connectivity that will enable
speedy and timely communications of race results to the IAAF for ratification
in real time as well as to power the electronic ticketing system giving patrons
access to the National Stadium.”</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

broadband service provider would be providing its Flow Unplugged WiFi service

the stadium and being unable to use data service,” said White. “We feel our
service will play an integral role in the overall execution of the meet from a
data and communications perspective. As the only fibre optic broadband network
in the Caribbean we feel this is a great partnership and we look forward to be
able to continue to work along with the organizing committee to expand the use
of broadband communication for events such as this.” </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Traditionally, Christmas has always been a time
for giving and sharing. With the holiday season steadily
approaching, companies like Columbus Communications Jamaica Limited, operators
of Flow and Columbus Business Solutions and Burger King, are coming together to
make gift giving, this season more meaningful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Both organizations have joined forces for an
annual Christmas Treat to fete 200 children, who are currently in state care
from Kingston and Spanish Town, at Hope Zoo on December 4. The two organizations have been partners for
this activity since 2011. This year,
both organizations are encouraging Jamaicans to come on-board and help spread some
more Christmas cheer through a special national “Gift Drive”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">For the gift drive, people are being
encouraged to pick up an extra toy for a child when making their Christmas
purchases and drop them off at Flow stores up until December 2. Volunteers will
wrap each gift and make a special delivery to the children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Nicole Campbell, Corporate Social Responsibility Speciality at Columbus said
“The feedback we have received over the years has been very positive and most
people generally want to know how they can get involved. So we think by launching this Gift Drive, and
giving Jamaicans a chance to be a part of a meaningful cause, will help to make
the Season a little brighter for hundreds of Children in Kingston and Spanish
Town.” Campbell added that gifts will
also be donated to another Children’s Treat spearheaded by the St. Catherine
Parish Council later in December. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

include a tour of the Zoo, a movie in the gardens, games and activities and
‘Fun Meals’ provided by Burger King to add to the festivity. Flow and Burger King Staff members will also
be volunteering and bringing gifts for the children as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the heart of Burger King, dating back to the years of our Kids' Club. This
collaborative treat is another way in which BK celebrates kids and also adds to
our roster of community and charity projects supported throughout the

sharing and feeling appreciated and our partnership with Columbus

It will be a fun and entertaining
Friday afternoon in Half-Way Tree as Flow and Zip FM take the Christmas spirit
to the Pavillion Mall this <b>Friday, November 22. </b>As Jamaicans gear
up for the Christmas season, they will most certainly welcome the values,
prizes and gifts that the Flow team will deliver throughout the afternoon.<o:p></o:p></div>

giveaways, and other treats. Patrons have the opportunity to step into the Flow
Foto Booth to take a photo which they can retrieve later and share with family
and friends via the Flow Facebook page. Customers who sign up for any Flow service
on location will receive a special bonus gift in addition to all the other free
add-ons and chances to win the weekly and grand prizes that Flow is already
extending as part of the Get Happy! Get Flow! Christmas promotion. <o:p></o:p></div>

Football fans are in for a thrill when 4 top Premier League
teams converge on the Drewsland Stadium for the double header Semi Finals of
the Flow Champions Cup Sunday, October 13 starting at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1689159340" tabindex="0">5:00pm.</span><u></u><u></u></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the opening match, Arnett
Gardens FC will vie for their first Flow Champions Cup title when they try to
de-throne defending champions Tivoli Gardens FC in what promises to be a fierce
encounter between intense rivals. The second semi-final match will see Harbour
View FC challenging the home team Waterhouse FC in what also promises to be
another exciting encounter.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Both games have stories of their
own going into Sunday’s event. Arnett have never conquered the senior
all-island KO title andwill be seeking to defeat a very strong Tivoli Gardens
team prepared to fight to defend their title. The story of semi-final two will
undoubtedly be the missing trio of, Romario Campbell, Richard McCallum and top
man Jermaine ‘Tuffy’ Anderson who are all away on national duties and look set
to miss the crucial semi-final encounter.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Flow Champions Cup started
with 26 teams fighting for top honours. The competition has been keenly
contested and has produced sparkling moments, controversial decisions and a lot
of goals with three players already scoring hat-tricks. The competition is now
entering the climatic stages and only four teams remain, all hoping to lift the
cup and walk awaywith $1 million courtesy of title sponsors Flow.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This
season of the Flow Champions Cup has been extremely exciting so far. We are
pleased at the standard of play, competitiveness, passion for the game and
sportsmanship that has been on display. We look forward to even more thrilling
semi finals and finals matches as the four power house teams seek to stake
their claim on the championshiptitle,” said Donovan White, vice president sales
and marketing for Columbus Communications Jamaica Limited, operators of Flow. <u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
More than 76 goals have been
scored in the 22 matches played in the competition thus far. Teams that have
made it through the quarter finals of the competition will share in the $2.3M
cash prize pool which also includes rewards for the top goal scorer, winning
coach and most valuable player. The Flow Champions Cup is the island’s premier

publication from the store shelves into the digital realm with the creation of
a series of digital magazines, or eZines. Led by young entrepreneur
Tyrone Wilson, the company launched iVutv.com as the region’s first online
television network. CEO Tyrone Wilson explains, “the initial strategy was to
work with existing content providers to supply us with content, for iVutv.com
however, we quickly realized that in order to build a new platform to gain and
keep viewers, we needed fresh original content, so we went back to the drawing
board and decided to invest in our own content.” </span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM">Top quality local programming has been a demand of
Jamaican television viewers that dates back many years. The feeling has always
been that they want to see shows that depict situations that are immediately
relatable to them. A new partnership between Columbus Communications
Jamaica Limited, operators of Flow and eMedia Interactive, will introduce a
slate of original, locally produced shows to Flow TV and <a href="http://ivutv.com/">iVuTV.com</a> starting October 25. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 17.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-JM">This partnership is a unique and compelling proposition
for viewers and advertisers alike and could yet again change the local
landscape for brand owners who seek to communicate with key target audiences to
position their products and services. Flow and eMedia Interactive
through its online platforms <a href="http://ivutv.com/">iVuTV.com</a> and
eZine, have created a very unusual mix of media properties that will provide a
global platform to showcase locally produced, Jamaican television shows, and
with that, provide the only true multi-media platform for local and
regional advertisers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-JM">eMedia
Interactive has in (5) years established itself as one of Jamaica’s most
dynamic online media and production outfits, transitioning a local magazine
publication from the store shelves into the digital realm with the creation of
a series of digital magazines, or eZines. The Company has since launched <a href="http://ivutv.com/">iVutv.com</a> as the region’s first online television
network through private financing of US$350,000 from Sagicor Investments

Interactive. Through their efforts, we will now begin to develop a consistent
supply of original local shows, to fulfil the appetite of our
subscribers,” said Donovan White, vice president, marketing &sales,

<span lang="EN-JM">Flow TV is the local broadcast channel of the Flow cable

and expanded programming line-up. Today, Flow TV is one of Jamaica’s leading
broadcasters of original and syndicated shows, that is almost 100% locally
produced. In fact, Flow TV has brought innovation to television programming in
Jamaica by being the first to syndicate local shows, giving producers and
content developers significantly more earning opportunities for their work
which would not have existed (10) years ago.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 17.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-JM">The partnership between the two entities will deliver a
number of new, high quality local productions into its revamped programming
line up, to entertain the discerning Jamaican consumer, and providing a vehicle
for advertisers to make that all important connection with an audience of
immense variety and volume.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 17.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-JM">“We will invest over J$30M over the next eighteen months

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Data is the most valuable asset to any business, says
data expert Daniel Rossignol, Director of Global Alliances & Partnerships
at Geminare Incorporated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">As businesses grow, the more business
intelligence they generate, whether it is customer information,
supplier information or accounting data. Being able to share, store,
protect and retrieve the ever-increasing mounds of data can be the competitive
edge that accelerates presence and success in the marketplace. According to
Rossignol, many organizations invest in mitigating the impact of natural
disasters and give little or no thought to man-made disasters which represent
the greatest risk to business continuity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Rossignol’s comments were made during his presentation
at a Round Table Discussion on <b>Managing Information & Data Risk - <i>Data
storage considerations, trends & disaster recovery. </i></b>The event
hosted by Columbus Business Solutions, was held recently at the Jamaica
Pegasus Hotel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"> “Businesses cannot risk having their data
sitting on a local server in an office and subject to the risks of unexpected
power outages, natural disasters, cybercrime or simple human error. Recognizing
that we are all vulnerable, businesses must approach data storage as a
strategic tool and seek to ensure business continuity regardless of whether or
not the disaster is natural or man-made,” Rossignol said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Rossignol offers that the optimal solution lies in
cloud based storage, which allows for real time replication of data and
eliminates downtime. With such solutions, during an interruption the IT
Department is able to quickly and efficiently switch to an artificial
environment that has up to date content and conduct maintenance and tests
without denying users access. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Other compelling advantages to businesses of cloud
based solutions are scalability and cost reductions. The storage capacity in
the cloud can be quickly and cost effectively increased to accommodate the
additional data. Cloud storage solutions also enable a business to avoid
the high costs associated with hardware, software licenses, maintenance and
manpower.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“Data storage is now a major consideration among
business leaders. In a globally competitive, fast-paced business environment,
companies no longer have the luxury of downtime to allow for storage and
recovery therefore organizations must implement strategies to address the
challenges they encounter, such as managing their storage growth, designing and
managing back-up recovery and archive solutions, designing deploying and
managing disaster recovery solutions and storage in a virtualized server
environment and convincing management to adopt technologies such as cloud
computing,” said the Minister. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“As a managed service provider, our job is to enable
our clients to quickly and cost effectively roll out IT services that feature
the highest levels of security, availability and are scalable to meet dynamic
future need,” said John Clear, vice president Columbus Business Solutions.
“Cloud services such as offered by Columbus enable businesses in Jamaica to
achieve greater efficiencies and facilitate real time exchange of information.
We offer a secure and cost effective cloud storage solution located in Curacao
– safely outside the hurricane and earthquake zone of the Caribbean, and
supported by a fully managed network operations centre.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"> According to Rossignol “IT departments can
quantify the cost to buy a new server, the cost to set up their own replication
environment and to secure back up services, but they forget the cost of
licensing, upgrades, maintenance and electricity. Cloud services allow
organizations to pay for what they need when they need it and to leave the
operational and capital expenses to someone else”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14.0pt; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Rossignol’s presentation at the Columbus Business
Solutions Round Table challenges Jamaican businesses to ponder and address some
of the real questions they face in securing their data - the real assets
of their business. What is most cost effective way of ensuring business
continuity and what financial impact will downtime have on the business if the
most effective solution is not deployed?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Top Business executives from the financial
sector met to discuss the increasing threat of cyber crime and the technology
solutions available to address the threat and enhance their network security.
The discussions were the first of a series of industry round table discussions
organized by Columbus Business Solutions. This session, held under the
theme "Leveraging Innovative Technological Solutions for the Financial
Sector" included panel presentations by top industry experts and a live
hack demonstration by Martin Voelk of Cyber 51, highlighting the nature of
network vulnerabilities in the industry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Cyber crime is a major driver behind
financial fraud, which has reportedly amounted to over $2 billion in Jamaica
over the last four years, according to the police. Government statistics reveal
that more than 1,000 websites have been hacked, including those run by the
state, between 2011 and 2012. What's more, the Cyber Crime Unit in the office
of the Director of Public Prosecution last month revealed that there have been
a staggering 88 cases of third party, debit card and credit card fraud since
the start of the year.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">In his presentation to the attendees, Livingston Morrison, Deputy
Governor for Bank of Jamaica reiterated the importance of
technology for network security saying “Financial institutions must
invest heavily in technology in order to operate in the domestic financial
system and to maintain a competitive financial posture in the marketplace. The
facilitation of appropriate technologies facilitates the regulatory process in
several ways; preserving data integrity, early warning system with triggers and
notifications, business intelligence with predictive analytics are just a few.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br />
Gilbert Perez, Territory Manager for Fortinet a leading global network
security provider, cautioned that companies operating in the Caribbean should
be aware of their vulnerability to cyber threats. “Many companies and small
businesses may think security is something that doesn’t affect them because
they are in the Caribbean. However, as more companies in the rest of the world
are starting to strengthen their network security making it more difficult for
hackers to get access to their network assets, they are looking at other more
vulnerable destinations, some of which are in the Caribbean,” he said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br />
Fortinet has partnered with Columbus Business Solutions to deliver cost
effective cloud based network security solutions. “Columbus is a managed
security service provider and in partnership with Columbus we can deliver the
solutions that can be provided as a service through the cloud, protecting
customers from the higher costs associated with the investment to deploy the
hardware and systems to deliver the network security,” said Perez.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br />
<br />
“This Round Table is the first in a series to facilitate dynamic discussion in
specific sectors, to help advance the goals of enhancing business efficiency and
maximizing profits,” said John Clear, Vice President for Columbus Business
Solutions, which is operated by Columbus Communications Jamaica Limited. “The
issue of cyber security is very topical and worthy of continued investment and
attention. We’ll continue to hold these discussions for cloud
infrastructure, business continuity and other cloud services,” he continued.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br />
Ingrid Riley, social media strategist attending the round table commended the
initiative. “The discussions today presented both the business and
technical side of the issue of cyber security, bringing more awareness about
the possibilities of doing business in the digital age and how to be proactive
about protecting our networks.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br />
Participants at the round table discussion included industry leaders, academia
and policy makers, who presented different views on the application of
technology and the regulatory framework needed to address the growing problem
of Internet-related crime. Among the presenters at the forum were The
Honourable Phillip Paulwell, Minister of Science, Technology, Energy and
Mining; Dennis Chung, CEO of the Private Sector Organization of Jamaica,
Livingstone Morrison Deputy Governor at the Bank of Jamaica, Dr Thomas Thompson
Senior Director for Fiscal Services, Claudette Crooks-Collie, President,
MoneyMasters Jamaica and Sheldon Powe, Chief Information Officer for Jamaica
Money Market Brokers, Columbus Business Solutions provided a comprehensive
range of Business Class ICT solutions for SME, Enterprise and Government clients
across the Caribbean and Latin America.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM"><span class="Apple-converted-space"></span></span><span>Watching television programming via the more flexible Video OnDemand service is increasingly gaining popularity due to the greater convenience this offers to television viewers who seek to balance their need for diverse entertainment and their own busy schedules.</span></div>

<span>Video OnDemand represents a major shift in television viewership habits from linear programme schedules to watching television on the viewer's own convenience. OnDemand technology is delivered to Jamaican homes by Columbus Communications, operators of the Flow and Columbus Business Solutions brands. The company has reported an increase in the number of viewers who use the service, signifying a gradual transformation in how cable customers watch TV.</span></div>

<span>This summer, consumers' entertainment gets another boost as Flow is giving customers the opportunity to enjoy two free movies from the Video OnDemand platform. The movies 'Parker' and 'Parental Guidance' can be viewed free of cost before August 31, 2013 by any customer who signs up for a new Flow Watch package by July 21.</span></div>

<span>Action lovers will get a kick out of 'Parker', the 2013 action/crime about a thief who assumes a new disguise and forms and elaborate plan to get back at his crew after being double crossed and left for dead. This fast-paced story revealing how he tries to hijack his crew's latest heist will leave viewers at the edge of their seats. On the other hand, 'Parental Guidance' is a hilarious movie about old school grandparents Artie and Annie who are left to look after their 21st century grandchildren. The comedy starring Billy Crystal and Bette Midler is a great movie for the entire family.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span>Come<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Friday, August 16</b>, the Tivoli Wizards will have a chance at the third place spot in this season’s Flow National Basketball League (FNBL) competition. The 2011 champions did not advance to the finals but go up against relative newcomers Pembroke Hall at the National Stadium Courts to redeem a place in the top three.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span>Pembroke Hall was overrun by defending champions Urban Knights 79-58 and 82-55, but the Wizards have no plans of taking it easy on them. “This is very important to us because we want to protect our reputation,” said Tivoli Wizards team manager Troy Constantine. “We’re going at them with all guns blazing.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM">Constantine said he doesn’t expect Pembroke Hall to just roll over and play dead either as they also want to make a name for themselves as the new kids on the block that almost made it all the way.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM">The Wizards began the season with high expectations. Blessed with some of the island’s best home-grown talent, the Wizards have been contenders for the past four seasons, but were eventually derailed by darkness. The Wizards share courts near Darling Street with the Tivoli Gardens netball team. It is where the players hone their talents at night as the bid for yet another national title but early this year the Jamaica Public Service turned the lights on out them. Constantine reveals that their monthly light bill was somewhere between J$18,000 and J$20,000. The bill then jumped to about J$240,000. It was eventually discovered that people were stealing electricity from the court and they would end up having to pay. They refused and the power was cut.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM">This forced the team to make alternative arrangements which turned off many of the players. “We had to travel to Olympic Gardens in the evenings to train and some of the players were not coming out. It put off some of them,” Constantine revealed. “We didn’t get the commitment from some of the players and eventually team came down from 15 to between nine and 11 players.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span lang="EN-JM">In the playoff for third, The Wizards will depend on stalwarts like Anthony Farquharson, Audley Smith, the defensive capabilities of Mowanga Campbell and the rebounding of Troy Campbell, whose absence late in the season was also a major blow to the team. Constantine believes ramping up the defense against Pembroke Hall will help pave the way towards victory as the team situation continues to improve.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM">The management has worked out an agreement with the JPS, so the team should soon be able to train on home ground again. They will now focus on taking on the job at hand, as nothing less than third is acceptable. “Fourth place? No sir.

<span lang="EN-JM">Three of the biggest names in the 2013 Flow National Basketball League are among the players vying for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award slated to be announced at the end of the soon to be completed season. Spanish Town Spartans’ Lynford “Shooty” Brown and Majesty Gardens Legends’ Havando Dunn and Baldon Todd are in the running for the prestigious title.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span lang="EN-JM">Leading the trio is Spanish Town Spartans shooting guard Lynford “Shooty” Brown who has amassed 332 points at an average of 18.4 per game. The national representative has been an instrumental player for the Spartans as they bid to secure the Flow National Basketball League title in the Game 1 of the best of three finals on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Friday, August 16</b>.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM">Brown’s impressive numbers have put him in good stead for the MVP crown, having recorded an average 39.2 points percentage. It is however his range from beyond the arc that has raised the eyebrows of the league’s hierarchy. Brown has knocked down fifty three-pointers this season, more than any other player in the league. The quick-handed ball handler has also recorded the most steals, thirty three.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM">Another player who will stake a strong claim for the MVP honours is Majesty Gardens Legends shooting guard Havando Dunn. The 24 year old Dunn, who also plays the point guard position, has scored 326 points in the season at an average of 21.7 per game.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">As the back to school preparations of parents, educators and students move into high gear, a partnership between the Discovery Channel and Flow in association with the office of the Mayor of Montego Bay will showcase the importance and impact of technology-aided learning at home and in the classroom. This comes as part of a Back to School fair that the three parties have come together to host in Montego Bay this weekend.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Through this partnership, parents and teachers will have greater access to educational material available via The Discovery Channel, whose programming complements and enhances the learning experiences of children through a diverse range of fun and interactive programming. Over 140 primary and secondary schools across the island are beneficiaries of Flow’s Building Leaders Through Technology programme, receiving free internet and cable TV service in their libraries, classrooms and computer labs. Students and teachers are able to view the programmes on the Discovery Channel and access the vast array of educational content online at various Discovery Channel online portals, both while at school and at home.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">On Saturday August 24<sup>th</sup>, more than 1000 parents, teachers and students will reap early benefits from the partnership as they participate in activities at the Flow/Discovery Channel Back To School Fair. The afternoon’s activities will include presentations and exhibits to deliver educational tips, professional development and educator support for teachers from representatives from the Discovery Channel and a host of other partners in the local health, educations and financial sectors. Sangster’s book stores will extend discounts on books and school supplies and free health screenings will be conducted for children. A highlight will include a session for parents about using the internet safely to enhance their children’s learning experience online. Three lucky students will have the opportunity to win scholarships valued at $30,000 and up to 100 persons will receive free backpacks full of school supplies valued at over $6,000 from the Discovery Channel. </span><br />

children at the SOS Childrens’ Village which included the feature movie ‘The
Lion King’, sweet treats as well as a Nelson Mandela Art & Craft showcase
put on by the children. Mandela, who has been an advocate for the
protection, safety and nurturing of children, was a prominent supporter of
building an SOS Children's Village in Umtata, in the Eastern Cape Province.
Since then, he has spoken openly, encouraging people across the world to
support this charitable organization. Columbus has also adopted the Home
and has supported several initiatives to support the continued growth of the
Home.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Mandela’s passion for children and a desire to end
their suffering also led him to establish the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund
(NMCF) in 1995, among a number of other institutions in his name dedicated to
the development of youth and the advancement of education.</span></div>

in spreading Mandela’s message," noted Nicole Campbell, corporate social
responsibility specialist at Columbus Communications Jamaica Limited. "We
are proud of our longstanding association with the SOS Children's Village and
feel that this special initiative is very appropriate, especially because of
what the charity represents in fostering a better living experience for the
children there, which is what Nelson Mandela also fought for," she
continued. </span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">The <b><i>Lion King</i></b> which took the world by
storm in a ground breaking animated series in 1994 and is set against the
majestic backdrop of Africa, tells a simple, powerful story of a young lion cub
named Simba and his heroic journey to claim his destined role as king of the
jungle. Showing this movie on Mandela Day sends an important message about the
link between some of Nelson Mandela strongest attributes, unmovable willpower,
self-discipline and determination and his rise to success. </span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">The theme for this year is ‘Take action, Inspire
change and make everyday a Mandela day’. The SOS initiative will also see the
children participating in creative activities such as poetry, music and arts
and crafts to express their understanding of Nelson Mandela and what he means
to them.</span></div>

broadband service provider will broadcast Nelson Mandela Day messages on Flow’s
Interactive Programming Guide for the period. In addition, Columbus
employees will be volunteering 67 minutes of their day on Thursday to serving
others through charity involvement, service in the local community and other
worthwhile causes.</span></div>

<span>In a move designed to delight the cricket community, Columbus Communications Jamaica Limited operators of the Flow brand, announced the addition of a 24 hour cricket channel to its lineup. This cricket channel is the result of a partnership between Flow and Ten Cricket, a 24/7 cricket channel operated by ZEE TV (Asia Television)<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span> Under a 3 year agreement, between the two organizations, Ten Cricket will be programmed exclusively on Flow in Jamaica, Trinidad, Grenada, Barbados, St Lucia, Antigua and St Vincent until 2016. The news coincides with the start of the Celkon Cup Tri-nation One Day International series featuring The West Indies, Sri Lanka and ICC Champions Trophy winners, India. <u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span> According to Donovan White, Vice President of Marketing and Sales the channel will be a cricket lovers dream! “This is great news for the sport of cricket, for sports fan in general and for subscriber television,” said White. He noted that the partnership will enable greater exposure for the sport as it allows cricket fans to see a wide range of cricket action including the broadcast of all home and away cricket matches played by teams representing West Indies, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Pakistan and South Africa on Flow’s digital cable television network.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span>Ten Cricket will be a 24 hour cricket channel and the programming will include live and repeat broadcasts of the matches of major Tests, ODIs and T20 matches along with other cricket related programmes that viewers would not normally have access to. In order to enable Caribbean cricket fans to cheer on the West Indies as they play India and Sri Lanka in the current one-day international series, White also announced a special introductory offer for cricket fans. “We are proud to extend a special free view period of 1 month that will expire on July 31, 2013 so they never miss a minute of the action in the Celkon Cup Tri-Nation One Day international series.”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Flow is a major enabler of sports in the Caribbean. In Jamaica Flow is the title sponsor of football and basketball and works with other broadcast partners to host training initiatives, such as football and basketball clinics to strengthen coaching, administrative and player’ skills. This is the first major cricket initiative where the Broadband Company is using its technology to enable greater exposure for <u></u>cricket.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Columbus continues to be an innovator in delivery of digital cable TV services. Under the Flow brand Columbus was the first to bring 3D television channels and Video OnDemand technology into consumers’ homes. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Columbus also introduced personal video recording (PVR) technology in the markets in which it serves, enabling customers to record favorite programmes to watch at their convenience, after the scheduled broadcast times. </div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Columbus’ latest innovations in broadcast television are the introduction of Flow ToGo, a multi-screen application which enables customers to watch their cable TV service on PC’s and Mac computers as well as mobile devices such as the iPAD and iPhones, and cloud-based pvr technology which eliminates the need for a separate PRV set top box and enables customers to store recordings of their programmes in the cloud.</div>

<span lang="EN-JM"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jamaica stands
to gain a share of the billion dollar global animation industry as a result of
a multi-lateral public private partnership between the government of Jamaica,
the World Bank, the Canadian High Commission, Columbus Communications Jamaica
Limited and ToonBoom, a leading animation software provider. The aim of this
partnership will be realised via “<b><i>Kingstoon – Animating Jamaican
Creativity</i></b>” – a two day conference to be held June 20 and 21 at the
Mona Visitors’ Lodge, UWI Campus. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-JM"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Kingstoon
conference, an initiative led by the World Bank, will highlight opportunities
in the global animation industry; facilitate interactions between young
Jamaicans with professionals and entrepreneurs operating in the local and
international animation industry to enable them to explore the animation
industry for employment and career development, and showcase Jamaican talent in
the animation sector and visual arts to national and international companies. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-JM"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Working with
our domestic and international partners we continue to look for outside-the-box
solutions to Jamaica’s youth unemployment” stated Giorgio Valentini, Country
Manager for the World Bank in Jamaica, adding that “KingstOOn will demonstrate
to young Jamaicans how to fulfil their creative potential, while also helping
Jamaican Government, educational institutions, and the private sector understand
how to create the right conditions to develop the animation industry in Jamaica
and rip its benefits.” </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-JM"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Julian Robinson,
Minister of State in the Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy and
Mining also shared the rationale behind this initiative. “As a government we
believe we have to shift our economy from a physically based economy exporting
goods and services, to a knowledge based economy. In trying to shift that we
have identified services which we believe we can produce here in Jamaica and
which can enable us to have a market globally,” said Minister Robinson. “What
we are trying to do with this conference is to inform you on what the industry
is about, what the potential is in this industry for you, and the kind of
skills and expertise you will need if you want to get into this industry. The
Minister emphasised that there is a huge market for animation with great
potential for job creation for talented persons.</span></span></div>
