An agreement is to be signed within days between the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) and the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) to formalise the sale of electricity from the new Skeldon sugar facility.According to a senior official close to the deal, GuySuCo is expected to provide an average of 8 megawatts of power to GPL for distribution to the Berbice grid.The new factory has a co-generation plant (using bagasse as one of its fuel elements) which is intended to make it self-sufficient with respect to power supply, while at the same time producing extra to be distributed in the Berbice area. However, the plant was unable to fully do this since the old transmission lines in Berbice were unable to take the load.But upgrades were done earlier this year and negotiations, which started last year to determine how much GPL will have to pay, were recently completed.Kaieteur News understands that this may include cash since the sugar company does not really conduct any significant business with GPL that could have seen a swap deal.The outcome of the negotiations had to get the approval of the Public Utilities Commission.Over the past months, instead of cash payments, GPL had been supplying the fuel to GuySuCo as well as paying for some costs, including maintenance.The plant has an installed capacity of up to 40 megawatts.The Skeldon factory was commissioned by President Bharrat Jagdeo on the 22nd August, 2009. Construction commenced in September 2005, with the factory taken over by the Corporation in March 2009.GPL had announced long term plans to link Georgetown with Berbice, and fully upgrade the transmission lines and build several sub-stations along the way.A US$40M Chinese loan agreement has been signed.OMAT concludes successful week– More than 400 receive free medical careThanks to Linden Fund USA and the Overseas Medical Assistance Team (OMAT), more than four hundred persons in and around Linden were afforded the opportunity to access free medical care, including surgeries and/or medical advice over the past week, at several health centers’ including the Linden Hospital Complex.And according to CEO of the Linden Hospital complex Dr Farouk Riyastat,? at least 50-60 persons were? screened for surgery on the first very first day the team started working.Most of the surgeries were for hysterectomies, fibroids, thyroids, and hernia,NFL Jerseys Cheap, it was reported.

Almost seven years after Government regulators were forced to seize control of the finances of Globe Trust and Investment Company Limited (GTICL), depositors are now facing the prospect of never being able to retrieve their savings.Over the weekend, in a newspaper advertisement, the Bank of Guyana announced that it has filed a High Court action applying for compulsory liquidation of GTICL.Depositors and other interested parties have until September 3 to object to the looming liquidation. At that time, the matter comes up for a hearing before Chief Justice Ian Chang.Should the entity be granted the court order, depositors, whose savings amount to almost $800 million, could very well end waiting for their monies, which may never come as the Bank of Guyana and Guyana Revenue Authority will have to be paid first.How much of an impact the liquidation will have on the lives of account holders remains to be seen. What is known is that many had their life savings at GTICL.The court application was made under the Financial Institutions Act of 1995, which lists the manner in which companies being liquidated have to settle their debts.The court action will also mean that attempts to use a Brazilian investor to rescue the troubled financial institution have failed.In May, the unnamed Brazilian investor, who requested an extension of time to ponder his proposal to invest in Globe Trust, was still pondering.Globe Trust opened its doors to the public in April 1991, and after its initial period of operation, recorded profits from December 31, 1992 until December 31, 1999.In 2000, the problems associated with its non-compliance with the terms of the Financial Institutions Act (FIA), especially those pertaining to non-performing loans, began to take effect.After a series of inspections by the Central Bank and consultations with the Directors, the Central Bank took immediate possession of Globe Trust on September 21,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, 2001.Prior to the Central Bank action, the company had closed its doors to the public on July 17, 2001.On November 27, 2001, the Central Bank instituted legal action, as is required under the FIA, to have the company liquidated.On July 25, 2002,Wholesale China Jerseys, the Chief Justice ordered the re-organization of Globe Trust under the Bank of Guyana, as set out in Section 50 of the FIA.As at December, loans owed to Globe Trust totalled $721 million, of which $650 million may be collectable.With more than 5000 depositors’ accounts, amounting to $793 million, frozen because the company is in receivership, under the approved re-organization plan, Bank of Guyana as the regulator is hoping that depositors can get back their money.Speaking with this newspaper in May, Administrator of Globe Trust, Nizam Ali, of Nizam Ali and Company, accountants, had said that the investor and his team of consultants, whom Kaieteur News has learnt are from Brazil, were in Guyana in March, and during several meetings raised questions and were given answers.Ali also disclosed that the investor was looking at other investments in Guyana and was hoping to tie that in with a Globe Trust deal.In May, also,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, Governor of Bank of Guyana,Cheap Jerseys For Sale, Lawrence Williams, admitted that while there is no timeline given to the Brazilian investor to make a decision, Guyana will not be sitting around waiting forever.In December, former Administrator Conrad Plummer, whose tenure was up several weeks ago, had announced that the Brazilian investor had signalled his intention to invest US$3.5 million to acquire the shares in the entity,China NFL Jerseys, and a further US$1.5 million to rehabilitate the infrastructure, among other things.The South American investor was the most likely prospect of a total of 93 companies or persons indicating interest in GTICL.While the administrator had no authority to grant the extension of time for the investor, the request earlier this year was forwarded to the Bank of Guyana for response. The Brazilian investor had been granted an earlier extension that ended on February 15 last.Regarding the question of why, as administrator, he did not seek legal redress by taking the former management and directors of GTICL to court, Plummer,NBA Jerseys China, during a farewell press conference, had said that he is not of the belief that going to the courts would have helped with the reorganization.“No investor would have become involved in a company which was engaged in that kind of litigation. Besides, if the re-organization plan promised a full or partial repayment to the depositors, what amounts were you to sue for?”The administrator added that the

President Donald Ramotar is slated to name a new board to oversee the operations of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) as the industry struggles to have something sweet to talk about.The Corporation’s biggest headache is the Skeldon Estate, which was commissioned in August 2009 at a cost of US$181 million, but has failed to live up to expectations.Originally, GuySuCo had put US$70 million into the project, Agriculture Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy has stated.Now, the Corporation is looking to spend US$8 million to fix various faults at the estate.Opposition parties had called for the board of GuySuCo to be replaced with professionals so the industry could be better managed.Dr Ramsammy told Kaieteur News that the President will name a new board by the end of this year. However, Dr Rupert Roopnaraine,Supply Cheap Jerseys, of the opposition coalition APNU,Cheap Jerseys 2018, feels that the board should be replaced immediately.A South African firm has been hired by the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) to help ensure that the Skeldon Sugar estate is fully operational.The company, Bosch,Wholesale Jerseys, is being paid US$130,000 to design the modifications that are needed at the Skeldon plant.The South African firm is looking to design the modifications of three main aspects of the factory,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, the GuySuCo CEO told Kaieteur News. He said these are the bagasse plow (the feeder system, that leads to the boiler), the conveyor system and the condensate tank.Dr Ramsammy said that the plan to fix most of the design flaws of the factory commenced this out of crop period and is expected to be completed by the first crop in 2013.“A decision has not yet been taken on correcting the problems with the punt dumper. The defects which will be fixed are those in relation to the bagasse feeding system, the cane conveyor system, installing a condensate tank and obtaining a clean water supply to the factory,” Ramsammy stated.According to Ramsammy, Bosch has started design work from their headquarters in South Africa and they are also procuring materials for the work to be done at Skeldon.The Minister said the actual work at the site will start in September.According to Ramsammy, Bosch will have about three persons on the ground supervising the work, with the actual work being done by local contractors.The establishment of the Skeldon factory was part of a modernisation plan by GuySuCo that was not achieved. The project involves expanded cane cultivations,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, the establishment of a refinery, and the co-generation of electricity for the national grid.The factory was constructed with a combination of self-generated funds and loans from the Caribbean Development Bank, the People’s Republic of China and the Government of Guyana. The Project Engineer was Booker Tate,Cheap Jerseys Store, UK Ltd and the Contractor was CNTIC Ltd. The Skeldon estate was designed to produce 110,000 tonnes of sugar per annum. In 2010, production was 33,237 tonnes and in 2011, production was 29,410 tonnes.According to Dr Ramsammy, attaining the full operation depends on the defects of the factory being fixed and addressing the field issues.He said that the mechanization of the field operation now means that the weather conditions will have a greater impact on operation and this has been a major impact in 2011 and so far in 2012.

Violence broke out Saturday in Charlottesville after a loosely connected mix of white nationalists, neo-Nazis and other far-right extremists assembled to protest the decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
"We value diversity as it represents the strong fabric of our team, the City of Detroit, the NFL,Cheap China Jerseys, the game of football,NFL Jerseys From China, our fans and our country."
ALLEN PARK,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions say they "detest and disavow" any use of their logo associated with the event last Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia.
A photo attributed to Getty Images showed someone with a logo similar to the one the Lions use ,Jerseys Wholesale, although it was blue and red and had stars on it.

The Detroit Red Wings already said they were considering legal action regarding the use of their logo during the demonstration,Cheap Jerseys China.
"We detest and disavow any use or implied use of the Detroit Lions logo or any of our marks in association with the event this past Saturday in Charlottesville," the team said in a statement Tuesday night.

The New York Jets safety broke the orbital bone in two places during the team's second preseason game at Detroit on Aug,Cheap NFL Jerseys Stitched. 19. He'll be out for the season opener at Buffalo on Sunday while he continues to recover.
Miles watched the game film of when he was injured and said he was inadvertently poked in the eye by a Lions offensive lineman, who lunged to block him.
"It was more so about my eye,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Outlet, my vision,Wholesale Jerseys, my health after football, so that was traumatizing. But it wasn't as bad when we went inside."
The eye, which needed to be surgically repaired, began to bleed profusely and trainers came out to attend to him, covering the eye with a towel.
NOTES: Rookie TE Jordan Leggett was the only other player to not practice. Bowles clarified that the fifth-round pick out of Clemson has a sore knee after initially saying it was a sprained foot. ... Bowles declined to reveal whether Bryce Petty or Christian Hackenberg would serve as the team's backup quarterback to Josh McCown. He added that "it's not important." He also wouldn't say who the Jets' starting offensive tackles and linebackers would be, citing "strategic things."

"In the process of shooting his hands," Miles said, "I took a thumb or a finger directly to the eye."
The eye remains slightly swollen and there's still a little bit of bruising under it, but Miles said his vision is normal and he's hoping to be back on the field soon.
X-rays revealed the fractures to the orbital wall and floor. Miles said it took him about 15 or 20 minutes to fully open his eye and was relieved when he was able to see through it.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Rontez Miles felt a sharp pain in his right eye and then couldn't see for several minutes. That's when the fear started to creep in.
"It's just a freakish accident, an injury that happened,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale," Miles said after practice Wednesday. "I wouldn't say there's no protocol for this, but it's not normal that this happens."
"They were saying there was blood on the sideline and I couldn't open my eyes and see clearly, though," Miles said. "I just remember them putting pressure on my eye, and at that point when I heard them say 'blood,' I was real nervous.
It had been previously been characterized as an eye laceration by coach Todd Bowles, who revealed the severity of the injury Wednesday.
"I never knew what that was until then,Jerseys NFL China," Miles said. "And, now this. That's two. My last two injuries were real weird. But I've come back from them fast. I tell the staff I'm Wolverine. I heal fast. I feel amazing, though."
In December 2014, Miles got tangled up in practice with a teammate, who smacked into his lower right leg. A few hours later, the leg swelled and he ended up in an emergency room having it operated on. He had compartment syndrome, which usually results from bleeding or swelling after an injury and causes high pressure in the area. It impedes blood flow and surgery is sometimes required to relieve the pressure and prevent permanent injury — or even possible amputation.
It's not the first time Miles has had to deal with an unusual injury.
"I feel fine and I look good, right?" Miles asked before smiling and looking straight into a television camera. "What's up, Mom? How you doing, everybody back home? Nah, but I feel good. It feels good and it looks good. A little blackness still and a little swelling on the outside, but overall, you probably couldn't tell I even had surgery. That's a good thing."
"I mean, shoot, an eye injury and hearing that you've got to have surgery, you don't know what to expect at that point," Miles said.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks have added depth in the secondary by signing defensive back Bradley McDougald.
Seattle announced the signing of McDougald and kicker John Lunsford on Wednesday night,Jerseys NFL Cheap.
McDougald spent the past four seasons with Tampa Bay. He started 31 of 32 games played the past two seasons,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, primarily at free safety.
Lunsford was waived by Tampa Bay earlier this week and joins Blair Walsh in the competition to be Seattle's kicker after Steven Hauschka signed with Buffalo in free agency.

Last season, McDougald started all 16 games,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, recording a career-high 91 tackles,Wholesale Jerseys USA, 10 passes defensed and two interceptions. He's also shifted at times to cornerback and played strong safety in the past,Cheap Sports Jerseys, which made him an attractive option for Seattle's secondary that was seeking versatile depth upgrades after being thinned by injury last season.

Here are other things to watch in the 85th installment of the "Battle of Ohio":
The Browns, meanwhile, are diving into another deep hole. They've lost six straight, changing quarterbacks, coach Mike Pettine's future is in serious doubt and they're still recovering from a last-second, 33-27 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, who blocked a field goal and returned it 64 yards for a touchdown on the game's final play — the kind of stunning defeat that only seems to happen to the Browns.
"I believe I can help anywhere on the field, especially once I just keep on getting the foundation down," he said. "I feel like I'm a lot better player."
The message said: "Focused! Fast Start! Beat the Browns,Wholesale NFL Jerseys 2018."
That might not be hard to do as the Browns (2-9) only had a few days to prepare and will be starting a new quarterback as Austin Davis takes over for Josh McCown, lost for the season with a broken collarbone.
PETTINE'S PLACE: With a 2-14 record in his past 16 games, Pettine's on shaky ground with five games left. He knows it. His players know it, everyone in Cleveland knows it.
"Having Geno Atkins in the middle makes it easier for you as an edge rusher,wholesale jerseys," Dunlap said. "Especially when you've got a safety behind you leading the league in picks — they don't want to throw it up there."
Browns Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas hopes owner Jimmy Haslam gives Pettine a third year,Cheap Jerseys From China.
STINGY D: The Bengals' defense ranks only 15th in yards allowed, but they've given up the fewest points in the league at 193.
The Bengals and Browns are worlds apart,Jerseys NFL China.
Following narrow losses to Arizona and Houston, the Bengals bounced back last week and thumped St. Louis 31-7. It was a cleaner performance after two penalty-filled games, and a TV monitor inside their locker room this week flashed a reminder to Cincinnati's players not to take Cleveland lightly.
NO FLAGS: One thread to the Bengals' back-to-back losses was penalties. They had nine for 70 yards against Houston, a season-high 10 for 108 yards against Arizona. They were much better in the win over the Rams, getting penalized only three times for 35 yards.
"I feel like I'm trying to beat the Cincinnati Bengals," he said. "That's kind of how I've got to approach it, and everything else just kind of happens. One week at a time."
Pryor is not likely to be active this week,Cheap Jerseys, but he's certain he can help the Browns later this season.
Cincinnati has held four of the past five opponents to 10 points or fewer. Tackle Geno Atkins leads NFL interior linemen with 8 sacks, Dunlap has 8?. Safety Reggie Nelson leads the league with six interceptions. It's been a winning combination.
"I've been trying to cut back on all that extra stuff, man," said Hill, who ran for a season-high 86 yards last week. "That stuff's all fun and dandy, but I'm synced in on what we need to accomplish."
PRYOR COMMITMENT: The Browns signed former Oakland quarterback Terrelle Pryor this week, more than three months after cutting the wide receiver at the end of training camp.

It's a convoluted scenario, but the Bengals (9-2) are on the doorstep of another postseason.
Leading the AFC North by three games, Cincinnati enters Sunday's game against a struggling Cleveland squad with an outside chance of locking up its fifth straight playoff appearance.
NO LEAPING: Running back Jeremy Hill tried to jump into the Dawg Pound after scoring a touchdown during Cincinnati's 30-0 win in Manziel's debut last season, but fans shoved him out. He won't try to go back. Hill's having a subpar second season — 490 yards — and has toned down his TD celebrations.
Davis isn't looking at this week's game as an audition. He's only guaranteed one start for now, and intends to make the most of it.
Coach Mike Pettine picked Davis — the Browns' 24th starting quarterback since 1999 — over Johnny Manziel, who started Cleveland's 31-10 loss to Cincinnati last month but lost his job after breaking a promise he wouldn't go out partying during the team's bye week.
CLEVELAND (AP) — They share some history, uniform colors and a strong disdain for the other. But these days, Ohio's two NFL franchises are complete opposites — in the state and in the standings.
"I saw the end of that game," Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap said. "That was an interesting way to go down. But at the end of the day, we're not going to let their troubles be our troubles. We're going to go out

The present stalemate in relation to Anti-Money Laundering legislation has now become a cause for worry for potential remigrants as they are having a hard time transferring their monies to Guyana.This was according to Minister of Housing and Water, Irfaan Ali who explained on Wednesday that a number of banking institutions are already imposing penalties as it relates to the transfer of monies.Apart from this, Minister Ali noted that Remigrant Housing Scheme located at Providence, East Bank Demerara is on target,Cheap China Jerseys, with in excess of 1200 applications already received.

The Minister is optimistic that the building and construction sector will be transformed into a hive of activity very soon.It was noted that the remigrant programme was launched based on the demands the Ministry received from Guyanese across the globe, expressing their interest to remigrate to their birthplace.These include persons residing in the United States of America, Canada,Wholesale NHL Jerseys, United Kingdom, The Netherlands,Jerseys NFL China, The Bahamas, British Virgin Islands,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, and Antigua.

An almost inconsolable woman sought the mercy of the court yesterday as she tearfully explained “your worship I am a single mother and is just me alone with my two kids. I does have sex and do my li’l work with men,NFL Jerseys Cheap, but I swear, oh gosh, I swear to you, when these two men get rob I had nothing to do with it ‘cause all three ah we de having sex.”One of the defendants, Sean Williams.She was among three defendants who were brought before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, to face the charge of robbery under arms.The charge stated that on May 19, on South Road in Georgetown, Samantha Primo, Sean Williams and Lasol Duke, armed with a knife,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, robbed East Coast resident Harrichand Nacknand of one cell phone, $10,000 and other articles amounting to a total value of $75,000. It was also alleged that on the said date, whilst being armed with a knife, they robbed Intiaz Ali, who also resides on the East Coast, of one cell phone and $4000, a total value of $11,Wholesale Jerseys Store,000.The defendants were not required to plead to the indictable charge.Appearing for Primo was attorney at law, Paul Fung A Fat,Sale NFL Jerseys, who stated that the 33-year-old is innocent. The lawyer stated that on the night in question the virtual complainants approached the woman,China Jerseys For Sale, who is a ‘lady of the night’ for some business. She agreed after an offer was made to engage in sexual relations with both of the victims. During their threesome, they were interrupted by two men, Duke and Williams, who robbed the complainants. It is upon this basis that the lawyer requested bail as he reiterated that his client was simply performing her duties but was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.Primo then begged the court for an opportunity to further explain the unfortunate circumstances of which she was only a victim.“Your worship these men approached me on the said night and ask me if I working and I said yes. I took them in my yard after they agree to do vaginal sex for $2000 and I agree to it. During the heat of the sex, one of them gon ask me to do anal and I told him that I don’t do anal sex for that li’l bit of money. Then we had a lil scuffle as they tried to do it. Then Williams who lives at my apartment,Wholesale Jerseys, come out with Duke to rescue me, but end up robbing the men and I holla on them and tell them they gon get me in trouble.”In spite of the defendants’ appeals, the prosecution strongly objected to bail as they emphasised the seriousness of the offence, the sentence it attracts, and if granted bail they may not appear for their trial.The hole left in the wall of Magistrate Azore’s court.Magistrate Latchman upheld the objection and the defendants were subsequently remanded.But that was only the beginning of a period of chaos which caused almost the entire of the Magistrates’ court to come to a halt.The obviously upset defendants whilst being escorted out of the courtroom exchanged a few words with a police officer. It was observed that Williams and Duke began threatening the officer for holding onto them in a rough manner. The disagreement among the three escalated into a fight which caught the attention of at least eight ranking officers at the court.As officers tried to settle the melee, it continued to disturb the court proceedings. The accused duo continued to unleash punches and kicks at the officers that swarmed them. They were eventually parted but on their way down, Williams reportedly pushed another officer into a wall of Magistrate Fabayo Azore’s court as he was being taken to the holding cell. His actions left a large hole in the wall which was later patched with paper tape.
