The Kwebanna Village in Moruca sub-district, Region One (Barima-Waini), is expected to provide an internet hub and refurbish its guest house upon receipt of the jubilee grant provided by the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs.Kwebanna’s Toshao, Paul Pierre, told the Government Information Agency (GINA): “We do have the jubilee grant still out. We are hoping that we can extend our village guest house and I was told recently that we can also maybe use some of the money to establish an internet system in the community.”These two additions will contribute to the development of the village that has undergone major infrastructural works. Toshao Pierre pointed to a number of capital projects completed for 2016:“For the year so far we have been able to complete three projects which were funded by the government; a wood-working centre, a stelling at the waterfront and a benab – so I think for the year, we are doing quite well so far.Kwebanna Village Toshao Paul PierreWe still have another project or two in the pipeline,” Pierre explained.Kwebanna had also benefitted from interventions in the form of outboard engines and assistance towards expansion of the health centre.Pierre further stated: “As we can see, the health centre is also presently under extension and that is a plus for us. We are hoping that the road can be maintained because that is our only link to Moruca other than the river. I want to take this opportunity to thank the minister, both Ministers of Indigenous Peoples and Health for committing outboard engines which will really help us in transportation for our community.”Earlier in the year, the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Ministerial Advisor, Mervyn Williams said that the indigenous communities are to present specific proposals based on what the village councils and residents determine to be important to their village economies and individual enhancement. These proposals are then approved, and funding eventually disbursed for projects to begin.Communities are also benefiting from training in management, transparency and accountability to ensure their projects are properly managed and executed.The distribution of jubilee grants as part of activities for our 50th Independence celebrations, replaces the presidential grant for this year.By the end of 2016, more than 212 indigenous villages are to receive jubilee grants for a variety of projects: expansion of village farms, aquaculture, cattle and poultry rearing, construction of eco-lodges, guest houses, village offices, shops, markets, landmark benabs, recreational parks, installation of internet service, and purchasing transportation for agricultural and other purposes.
Over one thousand students turned out to the newly introduced Maths Camp. The camp, which is aimed at improving the performance of children at the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) is being held at three locations; West Ruimveldt Primary, FE Pollard Primary and North Georgetown Primary.The classes will be held on Saturday mornings from 09:00h-12:00h until March 24 when the assessment is conducted.On Saturday, the Education Ministry said some 1200 students are participating in the programme. The main purpose of the programme, the Ministry noted, is to discuss difficult mathematical topics and concepts and to share effective methods to address same with emphasis on problem-solving techniques.The initiative is expected to see Maths coordinators and monitors along with teachers from the various schools organising and being actively involved in this exercise.The camp was introduced after the Ministry realised the majority of students writing the Mathematics examination faced considerable weakness in the subject area.The intervention entailed a number of aspects such as training for teachers in content and methodology, and over 1000 teachers were trained in this regard.The camp also presents the opportunity for parents to assist and learn strategies to help teachers; thereby bringing by a more collective impact.Over the years, students have been struggling in this subject area and this camp is said to serve as another intervention of the Education Ministry to improve performance at the Grade Six levels.
Several fishermen who were taken into custody last Friday has been charged, and will be taken before the court today.Charged for failure to provide a valid fishing licence, the men are expected to appear at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court.The men who were arrested last FridayLast Friday, a number of fishermen were arrested at the Hope Canal after searches conducted by the Police revealed they were operating without any legal documents which allow them to fish in Guyana’s waters. They were each released on $20,000 station bail.The fishermen, in their defence, noted they were unaware of any intention to have them arrested, since they would usually receive a visit from the Fisheries Department in which $15,000 would be paid and valid licences would be supplied two weeks later.In light of this incident, Global Seafood Distributors company has collaborated with its suppliers so as assist the fishermen in obtaining licences for their boats. The results of today’s proceedings would determine the outcome of the case as well as the consequences for not abiding by the laws and regulations.
The news comes after Manchester City, where most pundits had expected the player to end up, pulled out of the race for the player apparently because the deal had become too expensive over the player’s wage demands.That leaves Manchester United and now Chelsea as the main contenders for the Chilean’s signature, with United indicating they are willing to fork out Arsenal’s Sh4.9bn (£35mn) asking price.Speaking after United’s 3-0 win over Stoke on Monday, Jose Mourinho said: “There is no news on Sanchez. He is an Arsenal player; if he stays it’s great for Arsenal, if he comes to us, great for us, if he goes to another club, great for them.”United are thought to still be favourites as Arsene Wenger is apparently willing to take United’s unsettled Armenian international midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan in exchange.0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000The news comes after Manchester City, where most pundits had expected the player to end up, pulled out of the race for the player apparently because the deal had become too expensive over the player’s wage demands.

Everton’s run without a derby win extended to 19 games stretching back to 2010.However, the celebrations from the home supporters on the final whistle indicated how much they believe they have damaged Liverpool’s hopes of securing a first league title in 29 years.Klopp, however, remained defiant and continues to see evidence that his players have the resilience to cope with the pressure of one of the most tense title races in years.“I don’t have to give my players any advice, they know already,” said Klopp. “They’re not little boys any more.“Sometimes you have the lead and people say it’s done when there are 20 games to go to the end of the season, and now they have one or two more points than us. It’s the beginning of March, who cares?“I believe 100 percent in our chances. I know that game-by-game my feeling gets better about the boys because they look ready for it.“Today, of course, we didn’t score, that can happen. A difficult game, opponent, and the wind and weather circumstances didn’t help for football in general, it was just a fight.“We were ready for that today and now we have a point more than before — all good.”– Wasteful Salah –The game, and league table, could have had a very different look had Mohamed Salah not missed the best chance of the game on 28 minutes.Morgan Schneiderlin’s error in midfield allowed Fabinho to play a first-time through ball which sent the Egyptian bearing down on goal with only Jordan Pickford to beat.But the England goalkeeper, who was at fault for Liverpool’s dramatic 96th-minute winner when the sides met in December, did well to spread himself and beat away Salah’s shot.Salah also missed the best opportunity of the second half when a bad touch allowed Michael Keane to make a magnificent last-ditch challenge.The African player of the year, who scored 44 goals in an incredible first season at Anfield, has now scored just once in his last seven games.“When you see the situation, he is doing everything right,” Klopp said of Salah’s wasted chances. “He takes his decision a millisecond earlier or later and the defender can jump in.“We had our moments but there is no reason for taking it or not taking it, you have to fight against the circumstances, against the opponent, and the boys did that.”There were other chances for Liverpool, the best of which fell to Fabinho 21 minutes from time, but he took too long to control and allowed Lucas Digne to make a tackle.Yet, Everton could even have snatched a long-awaited win near the end when substitute Richarlison’s low cross just eluded Bernard.“We knew how much this fixture means to the fans,” said Pickford. “If you can’t score then don’t concede.”0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000Mohamed Salah missed two huge chances as Liverpool were held 0-0 at Everton on Sunday © AFP / Oli SCARFFLIVERPOOL, United Kingdom, Mar 3 – Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool still have the look of Premier League champions despite a goalless Merseyside derby draw at Everton that saw them fall a point behind Manchester City at the top of the table.After a run of four draws in their past six league games, Liverpool ended the weekend behind City for the first time in three months having played the same number of games as Pep Guardiola’s defending champions.
Yet the iPhone, a combination cell phone and media player, is already tracking better than the iPod, Apple’s chief operating officer Tim Cook told analysts. In the first full quarter of iPhone sales – a number many on Wall Street were waiting for – Apple said it sold 1.12 million units, bringing the total to 1.39 million since the product debuted on June 29. For the full fiscal year, Apple earned a record $3.5 billion, up more than 75 percent from last year when it earned $1.99billion. Yearly sales reached over $24 billion, a 24 percent jump from fiscal 2006. “We had a fantastic quarter and year,” said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s chief financial officer. Apple’s fortunes have skyrocketed in recent years as its iPods became a cultural phenomenon. The portable players, which work with Macs and Microsoft Corp. Windows-based machines, also have drawn more people to Apple’s software and design. After hovering for years with a 2 percent to 3 percent share of the PC market in the U.S., Apple’s slice has grown to 8 percent, according to the latest figures from market researcher Gartner Inc. Now, many investors are betting Apple’s foray in the cell phone market will be another lucrative engine. The iPhone “is a game-changing product,” said Stephen Coleman, chief investment officer at Daedalus Capital LLC. Based on income from the iPhone alone, he said, “I expect Apple’s earnings to continually grow materially at 50 percent a year, for the next three years.” Apple reiterated Monday its previous target of selling 10 million iPhones in 2008, helped by the launch of the iPhone in Europe next month, then in Asia next year. For the current quarter, Apple said it expects earnings of about $1.42 per share on revenue of about $9.2 billion. Analysts on average had been expecting earnings of $1.39 per share on sales of $8.58 billion.160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

By May Wong THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN JOSE – Apple Inc.’s fiscal fourth- quarter profits jumped 67 percent to cap a year that saw unprecedented momentum in its Macintosh computer business, continued demand for iPods and the successful launch of the iPhone. AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREGame Center: Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday, 10 a.m.For the three months that ended Sept. 30, Apple said Monday it had earned $904million, or $1.01 per share, compared with $542 million, or 62 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Apple easily beat the expectations of analysts polled by Thomson Financial, who predicted earnings per share of 86 cents on sales of $6.07 billion. Revenue totaled $6.22 billion, compared with $4.84 billion in the same quarter last year. Apple’s stock price, which has more than doubled since January, rose $3.94, or 2.3percent, to close at $174.36. After the earnings report, shares climbed about $12, almost 7 percent, in extended trading. Apple said it shipped a record 2.16 million Macs in the quarter, an increase of 34percent, while it sold 10.2 million iPods, up 17 percent. The debut of a slate of new iPods in September helped accelerate sales and is expected to boost holiday revenues, Apple officials said. The company has sold more than 120million iPods since the product’s 2001 debut.

Call the pound to come and catch its master. Owners may cower and growl, forcing officers to use nets or other means that appear inhumane, but in the long run, wouldn’t the city be better off? Once at the human shelter, captives would be given five days to sit in a cement enclosure and contemplate their behavior. Of course, the biters immediately could be rendered, since rehabilitation seems unlikely. When time is up, if these folks couldn’t promise to take responsibility for their pets, they would have to be moved out of the kennels to make room for new pickups – and we all know how shelters do that now. There’s always the possibility that somebody could adopt these people. But just like with animals at the shelters, they, too, would be sterilized prior to release. I mean, do we really need to breed more irresponsible pet owners? The idea could work, but I suspect human-rights groups wouldn’t let it fly. What else might help our four-legged friends keep their passion on a leash? Could animals be taught about abstinence – you know, that petting is enough? Could they be shown videos of a fiery afterlife for being single and unchaste? It might work with dogs, but it’s a tougher sell to cats with nine lives, who feel they have a cushion. Unfortunately, most groups espousing abstinence don’t believe animals have a soul to cross over. Any sharp pooch or tomcat would have a tough time taking this conflicted message to heart. Fur has been flying over the recent termination of Los Angeles Animal Services General Manager Guerdon Stuckey. Some think Stuckey’s firing was politically motivated and unfair, while others feel he wasn’t doing enough to curb euthanasia rates at city shelters. Anyone who loves animals agrees that there are more potential pets than good homes, and that a no-kill policy would be ideal. But with cutbacks on all kinds of social services, it seems the government isn’t going to get there on its own anytime soon. Perhaps there are other options… Why not start shelters for irresponsible pet owners? They could be rounded up by city workers and kenneled until they fix their animals, or find loving homes for the litters of critters that are no longer convenient for them to keep. Seems that moral teaching is out, but how about family-planning options? Animals are trainable. Why not teach promiscuous cats and canines to use condoms, every time, in heat or not? Unfortunately, this strategy has flaws – claws. Fluffy or Fido is going to find it difficult to keep a prophylactic intact. Time is of the essence, and without opposable thumbs, the magic of the moment would be gone – very embarrassing for the males. Declawing is not an option for many animal lovers, so even for the most dexterous furry couples, the problem remains. It would be great if dogs and cats could channel their libidinal energies into other areas, like career pursuits. It works for some people. But would you want an employee who sprays the office? OK, so maybe the most plausible way to reduce animal overpopulation and euthanasia rates is to support the work of grass-roots spay-neuter organizations. One example is Best Friends Catnippers, an all-volunteer program that has held free, daylong spay-neuter clinics for feral, or wild, cats since 1999. The group gets local veterinarians to donate their time and services. Between these scheduled events, Catnippers offers vouchers for sterilization and vaccination at participating animal hospitals. Catnippers also educates the public about how to humanely trap wild cats as part of their trap-neuter-return policy. To date, the organization has altered more than 8,000 of Los Angeles’ forgotten felines. That equates to having prevented millions of homeless animals, since the Humane Society of the United States estimates that one female cat and her kittens can produce 420,000 cats in seven years. A sterile feral won’t solve everything, but it’s a good start. If everyone who cares about animals donated time and/or money, maybe groups like Catnippers could proliferate as fast as cats and dogs do, and help the city solve the problem. And the next time you are looking for a new best friend, get one from the shelter, instead of from a breeder – you will have saved a life. I have a cat parked in front of my computer monitor as I write this, chasing the cursor across the screen with his paw. My other adoptee is belly-up on the floor, snoring. I hate to think about their fates had I not been able to give them a home. Sure, they both have their naughty moments, but nothing to warrant the death penalty.
