The car park just in front of the Centre for Communication Studies was lined with vehicles of all makes and sizes while the catwalk, recently devoid of activity was teeming with freshmen (first year students), some with puzzled expressions some with what appeared to be an air of confidence. Occasionally, one of them would stop to ask for directions or advice, most times unable to access the information. This is all a part of the orientation process to campus life and the unmistakable reminder that classes at the University of Guyana have recommenced.Most of the students are fresh out of high school after they would have written the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) or the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) and are anxious to acquire tertiary level education to further their chances of better jobs and by extension, a firmer position in the mainstream.Obviously, they would have attended the orientation sessions earlier organized by the administration of the university and would now be ready to address their studies with gusto. Unfortunately, that is not how it works. Most of the students are still to complete the registration process while others are at a total loss regarding registration via the online process.Registrar of the UG, Vincent Alexander, is,Allen Iverson Jersey, as is customary at this time of year, extremely busy in his office, situated on the upper floor of the admissions department,Cheap NFL Football Jerseys, attending to various queries from the students pertaining to the completion of the process.If one ventures to the bottom floor, at the doorway of the admissions department, he/she is greeted by a long line of students still to complete the registration process even as classes are scheduled to get underway. Many are heard questioning the functions of the online registration system while others have bluntly labeled it as useless.One student,Carmelo Anthony Jersey, attending the UG for the first time, said that she is frustrated after joining several lines for differing reasons. She said that she was assured that the online system of registration would have seen the elimination of the lines and a smoother, student-friendly system. She bluntly labeled the online registration process a waste of time.The Registrar does not agree with this view. He pointed out that the registration process, even though undergoing teething problems, is serving its initial intended purpose of minimizing the time students take to complete the registration process. Notwithstanding this,Wholesale Jerseys 2018, he admitted that the system would not totally eliminate the lines at its initial stage.“Do you see thosestudents there?” he said while indicating a long line of about fifty students waiting to enter the admissions department. “They are there to facilitate a document check,” he explained. The Registrar further explained that this particular aspect of the registration process could not have been facilitated through online registration.The ‘document check’ is the process where new entrants to the tertiary institution are required to submit their relevant qualifications to the admissions department. “These students have only collected their examination results earlier this month and therefore they could not have conformed to this process before. There are now hustling to do so, thus the build up,” explained Mr. Alexander.Furthermore, the registrar is adamant some of the students are not computer literate and this might have contributed in part to the problem.“We have discovered that one of the fundamental problems is that many students are not computer savvy and are unable to conform to the online registration process,” declared Mr. Alexander. He further pointed out that even though the world is undergoing technological changes,Wholesale Jerseys, persons still have a personal responsibility of enhancing their reading skills.The Registrar is confident that in the long run, after the initial teething issues,http://www.theworldsoccersshop.com/Argentina-Diego-Maradona-Jersey.html, the process would prove to be viable.“At least the computerized process has eliminated some of the lines in keeping with its initial expectation,” said Mr. Alexander. He was comparing the criteria before the inauguration of the online registration when students were required to join several lines to complete the process.The journey back then started at the respective faculties and then a long trek to the registry. Students were next required to visit the Bursary to facilitate other registration matt

She reportedly gave them one kilogram and 600 grams of cocaine to smuggle out of the country via the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).Hinds was represented by Attorney Neil Boston, who opted to bypass a bail application given the circumstances of his clients’ arrest and appealed for an early trial date. He said that his client is Guyanese but resides in Jamaica, Queens, New York. Hinds was asked to return to court October 29, before being remanded.Roberts also resides in Queens New York. He was represented by Attorney-at-law Mark Waldron who said that his client had visited Guyana for a family wedding and was returning to New York. According to the attorney,Asics Fuzex Rush Femme, Roberts is a diabetic and regularly needs his medication.Apart from that, the lawyer explained that his client wished to make a personal address to the Court.

The court acknowledged the lawyer’s information and gave November 7 and November 9 for Geriera and Johnson to return respectively.Attorney Adrian Thompson represented Sulkan. He presented to the court that his client should be admitted bail since, as he was instructed, she was found with nothing on her person. Thompson said that it is only the allegation of the other accused that has caused his client to become involved.The lawyer said anyone could make an allegation and as such he would be going to the High Court to obtain bail. The Magistrate however advised Thompson that would not be necessary since bail would be given in the sum of $2M. Thompson later asked for a reduction in the sum by half, but the Court alluded to past experience where persons had posted bail and never returned to court.He said that the sum should be enough to ensure that Sulkan returns to court on November 20.According to reports, the four accused were en-route to America via a Delta flight when they were pulled in for a routine search. That search allegedly unearthed cocaine in the underwear of all the accused. They in turn pointed out Sulkan as the one who reportedly recruited them for transporting the drugs.

Guyana Water Inc (GWI),NFL Jerseys China, in response to an article in Kaieteur News which stated that the residents of Zeelugt and Tuschen have been without water since last November, has indicated that GWI visited the affected area since the Tuschen Well which is more than fifty years old, failed.According to the GWI, Minister of Housing and Water, Irfaan Ali,Wholesale Jerseys USA, and a team of GWI officials visited the area and interacted with residents and outlined strategic interventions to offer immediate relief.The temporary interventions instituted were sectionalized distribution where various sections of the community received water at specified times of the day,Harrison Barnes Jersey, GWI contends.
