By Abena RockcliffeThe Guyana Government has been placed on alert for potential terrorists and will not compromise the country’s overall security to appease those who scream racism.? This is the position stated by Minister of Foreign Affairs,Cheap World Cup Jerseys 2018, Carl Greenidge.Greenidge first made the issue public in the National Assembly during the recently concluded budge debates.He had told his colleagues, “In the few weeks since we have been in office we have already seen some odd trends…and trends include a sudden rise in visa applications from South Asia.”He added that at the same time, the Government of Guyana received alerts from the governments of some of the very “South Asian” countries regarding the movement of potential terrorists.The Minister said this as he addressed the PPP cries of racism.He said,Cheap NFL Jerseys, “The very members of the Opposition call the (recent) deportation of Bangladeshi and Indian immigrants arriving without either visas or return tickets, racists. Somehow, the PPP deportation of six Namibians during 1992/3 in flight from apartheid SA which was at the time illegally occupying their country was not racist.”Greenidge highlighted some of the “South Asia” jurisdictions to include Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India.He said that in recent months there has been a rise in visa applications from those counties. Guyana had picked up, from the general system, that there had been detection of increased movements of terrorists from such countries. Therefore, there became a need for special care in monitoring the movements out of those counties.“We were then told to be careful,” said Greenidge.Minister of Foreign Affairs,Cheap Jerseys, Carl GreenidgeWhile Greenidge refused to state exactly where his warnings came from, he said, “You must know that only a few countries have the ability to do such monitoring, in order to warn us.”Greenidge said that even though Guyana is on alert for nationals arriving from those countries, those arriving with all the necessary travel documents and a return ticket were being and continue to be accepted.The Minister said, “People must know that you cannot just turn up in India where you are supposed to have a visa and believe they will just let you in because you are a nice person or because you come from Guyana and they believe you deserve to enter the country…no no, things do not work that way.“You have to be equally careful in Guyana,” he said.Greenidge repeated something he said in the National Assembly; which is, “Guyana has little capacity to monitor ordinary criminals, let alone an influx of illegal immigrants from those parts of the world where terrorism is crossing new boundaries – see Thailand for example.”BBC yesterday reported that “A second foreign suspect has been arrested in connection with the deadly bombing at a Bangkok shrine in August.”The male suspect was arrested in Sa Kaeo province,Nike Shox Gravity Black, east of Bangkok on the border with Cambodia, Prayuth Chan-ocha, Thailand Prime Minister told reporters.A foreign man was arrested in Bangkok on Saturday over the blast at Erawan shrine, which killed 20 people.Thai military authorities have been interrogating the 28-year-old man, but they have not yet released his name or nationality.Bomb-making materials and forged passports were found at the apartment where he was detained in Nong Jok on the outskirts of Bangkok,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and he has been charged with possessing illegal explosives, police said.It is unclear whether either of the two arrested men is the suspect seen on a security camera leaving a backpack at the crowded shrine shortly before the bombing on August 17.Greenidge said that if Guyana was to become open to situations similar to that of Thailand the country would indeed be in a sad state, especially when Guyana’s capacity to deal with terrorists is considered.“If terrorists arrive in Guyana they would wreak havoc,Wholesale Jerseys, therefore, we must be careful.”Greenidge told Kaieteur News that he had discussions with the Minister of Citizenship, Winston Felix, regarding alerts and arrangements to ensure both careful monitoring and proper handling of visitors.Kaieteur News made persistent efforts to get in contact with Felix in order to find out about measures that may have been put in place but he was unavailable.

Fire at Health Ministry…– Dr RamsammyThe attack on the Ministry of Health is nothing short of a case of ‘Domestic Terrorism’ said Health Minister,Cheap Hockey Jerseys, Dr Leslie Ramsammy when he hosted a press conference at the National AIDS Programme Secretariat yesterday.He told media operatives that while the attack is clearly a criminal case of arson, it is in fact despicable. He said that it is shocking and shameful that anyone would have selected the Ministry for such an expression of terrorism.“Guyana can ill-afford such terrorist acts. And as the Minister of Health and as a citizen of this country,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, I deplore such actions and I would ask all Guyanese to join me in expressing our disapproval of such tactics. Whatever makes people angry, terrorism is not an option,” warned the Minister.He pointed out that the effort by persons to address their concerns through destruction of a health facility is the worst thing that anyone could think of. “I stand by my words,Cheap Jerseys, that this must be the action of warped minds, people who don’t belong in the realm of human togetherness. These are people who need to be arrested, people who need to be charged and people who on conviction should be locked away.”According to the Minister, he could only express anger that person or persons had chosen his Ministry for such an attack.The Minister said, yesterday, too that he has had confirmation that indeed the fire was as result of firebombing through the use of channa bombs.He disclosed that since Friday it was also discovered that in the other buildings of the Ministry there were broken window panes. He added, too, that it has been ascertained that the panes were not broken as a result of the fire or activities around the fire.“These were broken at strategic points indicating that attempts were made to firebomb other buildings. These panes were broken but the windows were protected by grills so therefore they couldn’t get in.”The Minister noted that there was certain proof that there was an attempt to destroy the Ministry in totality.He expressed disappointment that there have been some erroneous statements made about the cause of the fire, even as he added that “this is not the time for us to manufacture stories. Any kind of implication that the Ministry of Health wanted to destroy its records is pure mischievousness.”According to the Minister, when he spoke with media operatives at a press conference on Friday, he had not received police confirmation that explosive items were discovered at the site of the fire which razed the main building at the Ministry’s Brickdam headquarters.He said that on Friday prior to speaking with the media, he had heard and officers had indicated to him that they had in their possession remnants of channa bombs.The Minister is,Nike Shox Gravity 2018, however, grateful that the whole complex was not destroyed, even as he pointed to the fact that the work of the Ministry cannot be deferred for even one day.He said that in spite of the destruction,Wholesale NHL Jerseys, the staff at the Ministry have been at work to ensure that public health services remain available to people.“At this particular time some of our services have already been relocated and we are working throughout this weekend, 24 hours per day,Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys, to ensure that when the Ministry of Health staff report for work (tomorrow) they have a place from which to deliver their services.”And according to the Minister, all staffers can rest assured that they will receive their salaries. He noted that although some accounting documents were destroyed, the Ministry was able to recover some $2.5 M in petty cash which was secured in a safe with some cheques that will have to be returned to the Accountant General and new ones will be reissued to allow for the payment of salaries.

World Autism Awareness Day, a day to increase and develop world knowledge of autism was acknowledged Friday around the world. The aim is to give a voice to the millions of individuals worldwide who are undiagnosed, misunderstood and looking for help.In December 2007,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, the United Nations passed a resolution declaring? April 2, World Autism Awareness Day. The resolution was introduced by Nassir Abdulaziz al -Nasser, Permanent Representative of Qatar to the United Nations.According to the Representative of Qatar, “member States should break the ‘barrier of shame’ of people suffering from autism and raise international awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of the brain disorder, which was estimated to affect 35 million people worldwide.”The focus of many of today’s autism organizations which include Guyana Autistic Society (GAS) is to help raise awareness of autism and the other pervasive developmental disorders.According to Revathi Narayanan, Psychologist and Sensory Integration Therapist, an autistic person may seem to withstand pain or fear better than the norm and do risky things such as walk on high ledges because he has no fear of falling.She added that there are different phases and one such is Sensory Integration,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, which is the neurological process that organises sensory information from our bodies and the environment and allows us to use our body to effectively respond.Some of the signs of Autism in children are: Lack of or delay in spoken language, Repetitive use of language and/or motor mannerisms (e.g., hand-flapping,Wholesale China Jerseys Free Shpping, twirling objects), Little or no eye contact, Lack of interest in peer relationships, Lack of spontaneous or make-believe play,Cheap Jerseys, and persistent fixation on parts of objects.There are several benefits to raising awareness about autism. The more people that know about autism, the more likely that research funds will be dedicated to understanding this developmental disorder. As more research is conducted,Cheap Jerseys China, breakthroughs in autism treatment are more likely.World Autism Day hopes to bring awareness and information to people who don’t know much about the disease,China Jerseys Cheap, and encourages all members of society to look for early diagnosis and early intervention. Autism is a lifelong disease that includes a group of brain development orders that typically manifest themselves in the first three years of a child’s life.Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a ‘spectrum disorder’ that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. There is no known single cause for autism, but increased awareness and funding can help families.

By Leonard GildarieThe Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) has threatened sanctions against striking workers who downed tools yesterday at two estates across the country.According to the corporation, 24 mechanical tillage workers at the Wales location staged a picketing exercise protesting an offer by GuySuCo for the Annual Production Incentive (API) which is currently under negotiations. The picketing eventually turned into strike action.At Albion, 163 workers also took industrial action citing the deplorable condition of the access road there and the API offer.However, GuySuCo, in a strongly worded letter to Seepaul Narine, General Secretary of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU), expressed its serious dissatisfaction “over the indiscipline and counterproductive behavior of some members of your union’s bargaining unit.”API talks had stalled last week and a meeting earlier this week with the negotiating teams from the union and the Corporation had seen workers being told of GuySuCo’s current offer. One of the offers made by GuySuCo was a four days’ pay.The letter, which was leaked, was written by Head of the corporation’s Industrial Relations, Francis Carryl. It stated that GuySuCo was unaware that the workers or the union had given the estates the requisite notice prior to proceedings on strike, as provided for in the relevant Collective Labour Agreement (CLA).“Therefore, we have concluded that the strike action was taken in contravention of the said CLA and in violation of prudent industrial relations principles and practices. Our displeasure with this indiscipline and aggressive behavior by your members who seem intent on creating disharmony and discord within the workplace cannot and will not be condoned,” GuySuCo warned.The corporation pointed out that by proceeding on strike, in violation of the extant CLA, the workers have left themselves open to serious disciplinary action.“Indeed, the Corporation reserves the right to impose appropriate sanctions on the indisciplined workers and or your union, and may very well do so. You will recall that by letter dated January 14,nfl jerseys china, 2010 we registered our disgust with the reprehensible behavior of some of your members who appear to be determined to inflict injury to the Corporation and the nation.”On that occasion, GuySuCo said that it did advise, “Should any form of strike action continue we may not be in a position to make any award. Let alone the four days’ pay which was offered at that time.”The fact that workers have continued to strike,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, much to the detriment of their own well-being and that of the nation, can best be described as reckless and daring, the letter said.“Of great significance is the fact that workers continue to indulge in strike action that has nothing to do with management or their terms and conditions of employment. How do you explain workers striking over the state of the Albion access road over which the estate has no control?”GuySuCo stressed that it needed not to remind GAWU that the future of the industry is at the ‘cross roads’ and it will no longer condone any act, which is inimical to the collective interest.“In these circumstances we hereby call on you to cause the strike at Wales and Albion to be terminated forthwith and at the same time ensure that no further such action is initiated.”The letter was copied to the Chief Labour Officer of the Ministry of Labour.Yesterday,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, when contacted, Narine said he had just received the letter and would be making a statement today. He refuted that there were strike action at Wales and rather described it as a protest.Last year, GuySuCo struggled as it battled strike actions and low production.A pay increase for workers was sent to arbitration and a three per cent was awarded by a tribunal.The Corporation,Wholesale Basketball Jerseys, in the midst of a crippling price cut from Europe,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, its biggest customer,Cheap Jerseys From China, was forced to borrow from a banking consortium, and reschedule some of its debts to meet the $300M plus increase for workers.With a crop looming shortly, officials last year said that it could ill-afford strike action this year as the Corporation attempt to implement a turnaround plan to rescue an industry facing severe challenges.

(Orlando Sentinel) Police seized a hammer and what they say is blood evidence from water drains in the home of Guyanese Natalie Belmonte,Cheap Jerseys From China, whose son, Gerard Belmonte, is charged with her slaying.Murdered: Natalie BelmonteA search warrant inventory of property taken from the house inAccused: Gerard BelmonteJuly lists a condom wrapper,NFL Jerseys Supply, blood evidence from the master bedroom footboard and armoire, towels, and 68 Unisom non-prescription sleeping pills.Pembroke Pines Police Detective Wayne Katz also removed from the residence — on the 19300 block of Northwest Fifth Street in Pembroke Pines — blood swabs and blood evidence on a gray-handled mop, a laundry room sink drain pipe, washer hose and a box of trash bags, the warrant shows.Police would not comment on the significance of the property that was collected.“In seizing items for the search warrant, we take anything that we believe could have connection with a crime to be processed for evidentiary value,” Pembroke Pines Police Capt. Dan Rakofsky said.The victim’s bra and toothbrush also were taken for DNA, the warrant states.Police arrested Gerard Belmonte, 21, on July 20 for the murder of his adoptive mother,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, a 43-year-old real estate agent. Natalie Belmonte adopted Gerard, her first cousin,Cheap Jerseys From China, in 2000 from their native country,Cheap NBA Jerseys Authentic, Guyana, when he was 10.Investigators say she died in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 17, after returning home from a party with her son.Gerard Belmonte has pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial. His lawyer could not be reached for comment Friday.After her remains were found in a marsh about a mile from her home where police think Gerard Belmonte liked to shoot a paintball gun, 400 of her heartbroken family members and friends held a candlelight vigil there.The search warrant describes how Gerard Belmonte told police he was drunk when the pair returned home from the party at 2:30 a.m. and that he slept until 11 a.m. that Sunday.But a neighbour’s surveillance video showed a busy schedule for a man who police say appears to fit the “general appearance of the subject,” Gerard Belmonte.According to the surveillance video that Rakofsky said investigators have reviewed “numerous times”:At 5:08 a.m. July 17, a person leaves the home, turns Natalie Belmonte’s maroon 2007 Lexus ES350 around in the driveway and backs it up toward the garage.Four minutes later,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, a person appears to be dragging a large object draped in a white cloth to the rear of the vehicle and struggles to place in the trunk something police say is “consistent in size with that of an adult human being.”The car is driven away at 5:16 a.m. and returns eight minutes later.After about an hour, two large garbage bags are loaded into the trunk and a person drives the car away at 6:23 a.m., again returning in eight minutes.Around 7:45 a.m., a person appears to be cleaning the trunk interior.Two K-9 dogs trained to locate cadavers alerted investigators twice during a search, the warrant says: on the Lexus’ trunk and rear bumper, and from the vehicle to the front door of the home.Natalie Belmonte’s sister, Michaella Teixeira, went looking for her sister early on July 18, and told police that she saw what she thought were blood smears on the floor of the master bathroom, investigators said.Separate from his felony case, Belmonte also is being detained on a federal immigration hold ordered by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

One way was to have an open simple outlet that would provide consumers with the various options.Mr. Jaisingh thanked all who helped make his dream become a realityHe assured consumers that all material will be of good quality, something that the buying public should seek to capitalize on.Now with the brand new plywood and lumber outlet at the BCL compound,China NFL Jerseys, the company looks forward to much support in the coming years.

–?? ?President promises jail term for fraudsters selling bogus transportsMortgage lender New Building Society (NBS) is pushing for a $15M loan ceiling to cater for the middle income bracket.This was disclosed by Chairman of NBS Senior Counsel Moen Mc Doom, yesterday, at the official opening of the New headquarters located at the Avenue of the Republic.Despite the commissioning, the final cost of the building was not declared. One official said that it is still being totaled. When the construction was announced, the NBS stated that the building would be constructed at a cost of some US$4 million.The contractor was BK International who won the bid. At the time the NBS Chairman was Nanda Kishore Gopaul.NBS has been in existence for 72 years,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, and its Loans Portfolio account for 51 per cent of its total assets.

The housing drive has transformed the physical landscape of our country.”Noting that the housing drive is one of the foundation policies of the government, President Ramotar said the NBS has carved its own niche by financing small borrowers.President Donald Ramotar unveils the plaque of NBS new multi-million-dollar headquarters in the company of (from left) CEO of NBS Ahmad Khan, (immediate right) Chairman of NBS Moen Mc Doom.“Today, NBS is a market leader in the provision of loans that has allowed tens of thousands of Guyanese to realize their dreams of owning their own home for the first time.”Adding that NBS was given the same incentives as commercial banks for home loans,Cheap Jerseys, the Head of State said the institution has been able to increase the value of its loan portfolio and the number of clients it serves.“A home loan application is a part of the aspirations of the applicant to fulfill a dream, a dream of owning their own home.”The president said that house lots distribution will be taken to every region in the country as part of a continuous drive of the government.“We had put out 1,000 house lots as experiments to see how many overseas-based people wanted to return home (remigrants). The subscriptions have doubled in number; and people are demanding more of them.”Underscoring that there are persons taking advantage of the housing drive to enrich themselves by committing various types of fraud, the President said that there have been reports of unscrupulous persons defrauding victims by selling bogus transports. “We will try to put them all in jail, including persons who try to corrupt the housing system.”The President further noted that there are persons building structures and renting them out while they live at a different location. “This is not the purpose of the housing drive. These practices deprive eligible homeowners, particularly married couples,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, of the opportunity of having their own lots. I have urged greater checks on applicants.”

– boat flag found, families fear the worstA search has been launched for a four-man fishing crew from Unity, Mahaica on the East Coast of Demerara, after they reportedly disappeared at sea.They left for sea last Tuesday and were expected back on Thursday, but have not been seen or heard from.Those missing,Authentic NFL Jerseys Cheap, are captain and owner of the ‘Sir Kegan’ Michael Ramlochan,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, 38; Peter Torres, 14; Ramlall Ramphal and his cousin Basdeo.Fears of the crew’s fate ran high over the weekend, when the captain’s wife, Nalinie Singh, identified a piece of the boat’s flag which was brought ashore by another fishing crew.However, family members of the crew are keeping their hopes alive.Yesterday, a search party including Ramlochan’s wife, Nalinie, conducted a search as far out as eight and a half fathoms of water, but no trace of the ‘Sir Kegan’ or its crew was found.The search commenced as early as 06:50 hours and lasted for close to 12 hours.This newspaper understands that the crew would normally go out to sea and return within two days.Family members became anxious when they did not return on schedule.At first, they consoled themselves by thinking that the crew ran out of fuel and was drifting or that they were trying harder to bring in a successful catch.But as the days ran out ,NFL Jerseys Supply,the anxiety grew,prompting the boat captain’s owner to report them as missing to the police.Speaking with this newspaper shortly after returning to shore, Nalinie Ramlochan said that although the search party combed several miles at sea, nothing comforting was seen.She added that no other fishing crew reported seeing the men at sea last week.Despite this, she still has hope that her husband and his crew are still alive.“I am still hoping because I have to hope. There are so many possibilities. I just want to think that their gas finished and they are drifting,” she told Kaieteur News.Ramlochan said that her husband, a father of four, who has been a fisherman for the past 17 years,Cheap Jerseys Store, had never stayed out at sea for such a long of time.However, she believes that if the men are still alive, they will survive until they are rescued.“If they catch fish, they have gas on board, they can cook and eat,” Ramlochan said.Perhaps the most worried family member is Pamela Joseph called Sandra, whose 14-year old stepson, Peter Torres, is attending school and was not supposed to be out at sea.However, she said that the young man would sometimes go out to sea on weekends and extended holidays, but would return in time for school.She said that on Tuesday, she went into his room and discovered that he was not at home.At first she thought that he was at school, but then she saw his books and school bag and realized that was not the case.She subsequently learnt that Torres had gone to sea.“Couple days passing and passing and me ain’t see dey coming. All dem fisherman come and I ask dem if dey see de boat out deh and they said no,” Joseph recalled.She then enquired from the captain’s wife about the situation and the news was the same.“She say she gone so and search but she report it to the police and she gone go to the coastguard dem,” Joseph said.In the midst of all of this, family members received different reports about the men being found, but all turned out to be false alarms, since checks were made at various hospitals.“One time you hear they find two dead body, one time you hear they find the seine and the flag. Another time you hearing the boat crash up, in pieces. A whole set of things you hearing.
