Up to late last night doctors at the Georgetown Hospital were battling to save the life of a mini bus driver who was shot at point blank range in the face by a lone gunman in what appears to be an execution attempt.Devon Searles of 73 Hadfield Street received a single gunshot to his left side jaw when the gunman who was sitting behind him in the route 40 mini bus he was driving pointed a .38 revolver at his head and pulled the trigger.Clutching his jaw, Searles hurriedly exited the bus and ran several meters away to avoid being shot again.The bus had stopped near the David and Sherriff Street junction to put off a passenger when the gunman made his move around 18:40 hours.The gunman made no attempt to shoot or rob the conductor of the bus although he was sitting next to him and pointed the gun in his direction after shooting the driver.With the gun pointing to his head,Cheap Jerseys Outlet, the conductor bolted from the vehicle, leaving behind eight horrified passengers and some shocked onlookers.Speaking to this newspaper, the bus conductor, who did not wish to give his name, recalled that the gunman had joined the bus from the Kitty bus park at the Stabroek Market.According to the conductor, the man sat next to him and rode the bus for the entire round trip from the market to Kitty and back, without he nor the driver thinking anything was amiss.“I turn and ask he ‘whappen, you ain’t paying me?’ He give me $120 and say he going up back again,” the conductor said.Even then, Searles nor his conductor suspected anything,nfl jerseys china, since none of them recognized the gunman.When the bus neared the stop light at the David and Sherriff Street corner, a passenger requested to be let off.“When I buss de door and de passengers come out now,Cheap Jerseys Store, all I hear is,Wholesale Jerseys China, pow! When I turn now,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, I see de gun in front ah me face and I run,” the bus conductor said.By the time,Wholesale Jerseys USA, the wounded Searles also ran out of the bus.“When I run around at de back of de bus, I see de driver jump out same time, me and he cross-cross. But me ain’t know whey he run,” the conductor said.At the time he was not too sure who the gunman’s target was, since out of fear for his life he bolted and did not look back.“While he running I see he (driver) holding he jaw and I suspect that he get knock. Is when I come back to de bus now and I call I hear he deh at de hospital bleeding bad.”He could not say if the driver and the assailant had any previous altercation, since according to him, he only started working with Searles yesterday afternoon.It is not clear if the shooting had anything to do with Searles’ previous brush with the law. The 32 year old Searles was charged in December 2013 for his alleged involved in the theft of two cars the previous month.Back then, it was alleged that on November 15 at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara, he robbed Sanjay Babulall of two motorcars, an Allion and a Primo, together valued $6.3 million, property of Robena Khan.The Police prosecutor had told the court that on the day in question, two men robbed Babulall of two motorcars at Selena’s Auto sales at Lusignan and during the robbery they made use of personal violence against the victim.The prosecutor stated that the Allion was recovered at Lusignan, and acting on information received, the police arrested Searles, who admitted to taking the Primo to a mechanic.However, Searles’ attorney told the court that at the time of the robbery, her client was working on a minibus and had eyewitnesses to prove such.Searles was remanded to prison but was subsequently granted bail.It is not clear what was the outcome of that matter which was being heard at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court.

The Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) is working to arrest problems with its sewage system, which according to Public Relations Officer,Cheap Jerseys USA, Rawle Aaron, is overwhelmed by the increasing number of households utilising it.Aaron yesterday disclosed that the sewage system, which was commissioned in 1929, was designed to facilitate 24 pump stations. He however pointed out that only eight of the pumps are currently working thus seriously affecting the ability to move sewage through the network.In addition, Aaron said that the failure of the system has been linked to the overpopulation of the city, adding that at construction it was intended to be utilised by a mere 20,000 households.“The population in Georgetown has increased tremendously over the years causing the sewage system to become overworked.Coupled with being overworked, there is also the situation of the system being aged,” Aaron highlighted.And since the system is driven by gravity flow, when materials enter the system they can only move by gravity to the main chambers at which point the pumps activate,Cheap Jerseys 2018, he said.However, misuse of the system has become a serious problem,China Jerseys Cheap, Aaron noted. He said that foreign materials,Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Authentic, the likes of dead animals, coconut shells,Nike Air Max 97 Silver Bullet Australia, sewing machines, sanitary napkins and pampers, have been constantly entering the system.“I think that the system is seriously being abused. If persons are operating restaurants and they do not use grease traps the grease clogs up the system and prevent the gravity mechanism from working…So the actual waste does not get a chance to get to the area to be pumped out,China Jerseys Cheap,” Aaron said.He pointed to the urgent need for persons to be sensitised of the proper usage of the sewage system, adding that the Public Relations Department will soon be taking information to the people.“We will go to the communities in Georgetown and talk to residents about water and sewage in a drive to educate them. We believe that if we have a more educated population then they will have more respect for our system and will not damage it.”The water company earlier this year inked a US$422,560 contract with FCT Technologies Incorporated of Miami, Florida, for the supply of 28 submersible wastewater pumps for the upgrade of the sewage systems in the city.Yesterday Aaron said that the pumps have already been procured and will soon be installed.He said that once the installation process is completed the number of overflows and blockages experienced by GWI customers will drastically decrease once residents are prepared to modify their current culture.In the interim he noted, “We are asking our customers who are affected to bear with us because we have to have contractors come directly to their locations and deal with the multiplicity of complaints we get every day.”Aaron asserted though that while GWI technical staffers are fatigued as it relates to the response process every measure will be implemented to ensure that the problem will be corrected in the not too distant future.

… stands at US$1.7B in March 2012Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni SinghAFC’s MP,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, Moses NagamootooGuyana’s total public debt at March last year was a whopping US$1.7B, slightly less than the US$2.1B at 1992 when the government assumed office.Over the years,Discount NFL Jerseys, the government, through lobbying efforts and other economic measures, had secured several debt write offs to the tune of nearly 75 per cent of the total debt which had grown significantly because of the unpaid interest charges.Based on questions from Member of Parliament, Moses Nagamootoo of the Alliance For Change, the smaller of the two parties in the Opposition, Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh on Thursday released figures on Guyana’s debts.Nagamootoo had asked a question seeking the total public debt- both local and foreign- in the US and Guyana dollars equivalent, as at September 30, 1992.According to the Minister, at September 30, 1992,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, it was US$2,Cheap Jerseys,087.99 M (US$2.09B). At that time the exchange rate for the US dollar was G$126.

This was equivalent to G$355,580M.Since assuming power in 1992,China NBA Jerseys, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has succeeded in getting some of its biggest debts written off by the US, Russia, Europe, Canada China and Libya.This was to the tune of hundreds of millions of US dollars.

It would have excluded debts owed by the Bank of Guyana and other parastatal agencies.As at December 31, 2010, the total public debt stock stood at $350,574.81M…at an exchange rate of $203 to US$1.

Health Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy has said that Guyana has worked hard over the past decade to tackle the scourge of HIV/AIDS. He added that with the reduced prevalence the country can now purchase better quality drugs to treat infected persons.Dr Ramsammy recently told media operatives that when Guyana wrote for grants years ago the projections were much higher.“We are using newer and more state-of-the-art medicine,Cheap NHL Adidas Jerseys,” Dr Ramsammy said.He reiterated that the same drug regimen being used in the United States of America as the first line drugs is being used in Guyana.Dr Ramsammy added that the programme is now maturing and soon Guyana will face the same problem that the USA faced in the mid-90s when people started getting resistant to the drugs“In another five years we will have to go to newer medicine which will be even more expensive.”Ramsammy said that this is something he has been preaching over the years but added that Guyana does not have nor gets all the money it needs.He pointed out that in other countries persons would have to pay for an HIV test but in Guyana it is done for free.

We get the money when we have to pay the money…It goes directly to suppliers.”Dr Ramsammy stressed that when the Ministry of Health applies for grants it does not know how much the country really needs given that “we are applying based on projections that can change.”He added,Cheap NFL Shop, “If we don’t use the resources the money goes back to World Bank.”The Health Minister further added that the money can’t be spent on anything other than what it is intended.

-Deputy Prison Director’s leave exendedPrisoners of the Camp Street jail were yesterday returned to their cells during a visit by the Director of Prisons Carl Graham, a source close to matter revealed.One prison officer indicated that the prison keys were returned to the prison officers, yesterday, and the prisoners were ordered into their cells.This,Air Max 97 Buy Online, the source stated, occurred because Graham visited the jail and spoke to everyone—both the prisoners and the wardens. The officer opined that had he done this earlier the situation at the prison would not have escalated. The officer added that Graham instructed the wardens to continue working and that the situation will be changed.Graham, however, had denied that the keys were in the hands of the inmates, stating that the rumours were being peddled to further ignite the situation at the prison after the unrest in March.On Thursday, tension in the prison rose after prisoners were given the keys and were allowed to roam free in the jail yard. This caused 42 prison officers to send in sick leave certificates in fear for their lives.President David Granger, last week, had ordered security to be beefed up at the prison during an emergency meeting of the National Security Committee at the Ministry of Presidency. He called for the police and the army to secure the jail.Director of Prisons (Ag) Carl Graham was forced to seek replacements from the Timehri and Lusignan Prisons and from the Administration Division at the Camp Street Prison in order to keep the situation under control.President Granger had instructed that the outer cordons of the prison be extended to include D’Urban, John and Bent Streets,Nike Men Air Max 97, which will be blocked off to the public except for persons residing within those areas, as is done on Camp Street.The Guyana Police Force was ordered to assist Prison Officers in manning the Camp Street facility and the Guyana Defence Force to assist in guarding the outer cordons of its precincts.? On Friday, 12 soldiers were seen guarding the four points of the prison, along with police.Since the deadly prison unrest in March,Air Max 97 Silver Bullet 2018, the committee heard that inmates have become brazen in exposing their weapons, while behaving much more aggressively toward prison wardens. Thus, the officers, being fearful for their lives, have decided to stay away.The source indicated that policemen are inside the prison, helping the wardens to control the situation.This newspaper was informed that the wardens are frustrated because they feel nothing is being done to protect them. The officer related that on Thursday, the keys to the prison were handed over to inmates by a fellow officer. Since then,Air Max 1 Atmos For Sale, the officer said, the prison yard became crowded with prisoners.“They came out of their cells and went into the tuck shop and bought $17,500 in ration. When they were finished they went into the kitchen and cook their own food. Cobra, who is a high profile prisoner,Aaron Ramsey Arsenal Jersey UK, is the ring leader and he was seen making an egg sandwich in the kitchen,” the officer said.The officer,Nike Air Vapor Max Flyknit, in tears, had indicated that there was no prison officer left in the prison. “We are all afraid to go in because we cannot talk to them and they have cutlasses and jookas.”“If Samuels was here none of this would be happening. Right now the female officers cannot go into the prison because they were told that they would be sodomized if they do. I just want them to show the video of the day of the riot…is the prisoners who are causing all of this. They were told to come out but they lock the door and let the fire burn,” the officer stated.Deputy Director of Prisons Gladwin Samuels was sent on six weeks of leave following the prison unrest. However, this newspaper was informed that Samuels was served with another letter this time to proceed on administrative leave. The duration of the leave is unknown at this moment. Samuels was expected to return to work on Monday.The prison unrest left seventeen prisoners dead and several others injured.

It is believed that the men were burnt to death.There are reports of an upsurge in cases of marijuana being thrown over the prison fences and instances where prisoners would spit on wardens and throw faeces and urine on them.

As it continues to struggle to maintain its buffer stock quota,Cheap NFL Jerseys, the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) is intensifying its efforts to reach an increased amount of donors. As part of this quest, the blood bank has been reaching out to donors located in far flung areas with the most recent being the Essequibo Coast.In fact, NBTS Co-ordinator,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, Ms Shameeza Mangal, said that a total of 25 units were secured when a blood drive was hosted two weekends ago. And that blood drive she said may very well be the first official drive that has been held on the Essequibo Coast.A donor gives blood “We have made several attempts before along the Essequibo Coast but they never really materialised to the anticipated numbers. So this is a first for us and we expect many more like this to come.”As soon as next week, the Co-ordinator is also expected to venture into the mining town of Linden to solicit the support from residents there as well.According to Mangal, it is her intent to undertake an awareness campaign even as she engages discussions with Community leaders about the NBTS’s urgent need for blood. Linden, she disclosed, is yet to have an inaugural blood drive intended to boost the supply at the central Blood Bank.“Just as how Lindeners are excited about Linden Town Day, I want them to be excited about having a first-time Blood Donation Day.”And the expanded blood drives will not stop at Linden as Mangal has disclosed her plans to head to the Upper Corentyne and other areas in Berbice. This move, she said,Cheap NFL Jerseys, may become a reality in a matter of weeks.But in order to maintain such activities, Mangal speculated that there will be a need for collaboration between several organisations such as Non-Governmental Organisations, Faith Based Organisations and individuals, including senior Regional Officials. With a wide network of individuals and organisations recruiting donors,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, there is a greater likelihood that blood drives will comfortably secure a satisfactory amount of units.At the moment,Cheap Jerseys From China, the blood bank is modestly stocked but according to Mangal, there will always remain the need for donors to give blood on a regular basis.She disclosed that the donation pace at the commencement of the year is usually slow but would usually reach a moderate level with some voluntary drives sponsored by private organisations. However, the Blood Bank has had to rely on its call back programme through which appeals are made for previous donors to return and give blood.“Every day we need donors to come because it is every day that hospitals are requiring us to supply them with blood…Demand is always greater than supply,” Mangal opined.She related that there are instances when the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation may require over 46 units of blood but a mere eight donors offer to give the life saving liquid. A single donor is required to give one unit of blood which can save at least three lives.But despite the challenges,NFL Jerseys Authentic China, Mangal revealed that the NBTS is surely heading toward the Ministry of Health’s 100 percent voluntary donor target, which has been three years in the making.As at the end of last year, she said that voluntary donors represented 68 percent of the donations the blood bank received. This development, she added, will soon rule out the need for family replacement donors.

The care and use of tyres should be of paramount concern to drivers and vehicle owners so as to ensure safety and prolonged usage. Generally,Cheap NFL Jerseys, the cost of tyre care is negligible when compared to repair or replacement costs. The level of maintenance and the manner in which tyres are used on vehicles demonstrate care or a lack of it.For many years, the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) has been monitoring new and used tyres under its Standards Compliance programme to ensure that they meet the requirements of national standards. Monitoring is done by Inspectors at ports of entry and at bonds and warehouses,Jerseys From China, and involves the examination of the commodity to ensure compliance with labeling and quality requirements.However, monitoring by the Bureau is not enough to ensure that safe tyres are used on our road ways. Frequent examination and care by users go a far way to guarantee that their tyres take them a far way, safely.As drivers,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, simple actions like checking your tyre pressure to make sure that they are properly inflated can make a real difference in how long your tyres last. Under or over-inflated tyres don’t wear evenly and won’t last as long. For example, a tyre that is constantly 20% underinflated can last 20% less in use. That means, a new tyre that could last approximately 95,000km would be worn out by 75,000 km.In addition, since the front and rear axles and the right and left side of vehicles wear down tyres differently, rotating your tyres regularly between the different positions will ensure they wear evenly and last longer.A visit to the experts is not necessary to determine the ideal requirements for optimal performance of your tyres.

Tyres must be inflated to specified pressures. The pressure inside warm tyres is naturally higher and must be reduced, and on cooling,Cheap NBA Jerseys China, can fall below the minimum tyre pressure. (Driving, especially at high speeds, causes heat build-up in tyres).c. Incorrect tyre pressure causes premature and uneven tyre wear. Under-inflated tyres have a higher rolling resistance, which means higher fuel consumption.TYRE DAMAGEa. If a tyre is visibly damaged (that is, it has a fracture or a cut that exposes the carcass) or has an unusual wear pattern, the tyre must be taken off and examined as quickly as possible by a tyre specialist.b. Driving over curb-stones or over potholed roads may cause internal damage to tyres, leading to failure at high speeds.c.
