The school came into the limelight as an NGO project having won a handsome prize of US$1 million on the Chase Bank American Giving Awards NBC-TV broadcsat for the charitable organization, More Than Me Foundation, founded by America.

Oil and gas sector…says production sharing main revenue source for GuyanaIn the wake of public discussions about Guyana’s deal with Tullow and the one per cent recoverable royalty, Tullow’s Head of Communications, George Cazenove, has reminded that most of Guyana’s earnings will come from production sharing and not royalties.Tullow’s Head of Communications, George Cazenove sits down for an interview with Guyana Times senior journalist Jarryl BryanCazenove made the comment during an exclusive interview with this newspaper on Tullow’s agreement with Guyana. While the one per cent royalty has been heavily criticised, he urged that persons look at the “bigger picture”.“It’s important when looking at oil contracts that you look at the entirety of the contract. You have to understand the balance between the contractor and the State. And I think that the royalty is a part of that State take,” Cazenove said.“So when you look at the production sharing agreement, you have a system where 50 to 60 per cent of production is shared with the Government. And it’s important to see that the royalty is just a small aspect of the overall take of the State that it can expect.”He also noted that Tullow and Guyana are still in the early stages of developing oil fields. Cazenove pointed to the fact that Guyana, because it has released its oil contracts in these early stages, is at an advantage.“We’re at the very beginning of our time in Guyana. And these sorts of discussions about contracts are way off into the future. And Guyana starts with an advantage around oil contracts, which is they are public,” Cazenove added.“In a lot of countries around the world, oil contracts are not public. So the public and the media do not have an opportunity to ask the Government or oil companies about their relationships and how production is being shared. I think it’s to Guyana’s credit and it’s really important to holding us to account, that they are public.”When asked if Tullow would be open to discussions with the Government, should they reach out to the British oil company in order to negotiate parts of the contract, Cazenove was unable to say.It was only recently that in a matter of weeks, Tullow found oil in two wells – Jethro and Joe. At the same time, it was reported that the one per cent royalty will be recoverable to the company as cost oil.Finance Minister, Winston Jordan has said publicly that the recoverable royalty is not good for the country. For his part, Natural Resource Minister Raphael Trotman has said he was under orders to accept the 1 per cent royalty.It is understood that the company has billed Government US$300,000 in pre-contract costs it would have incurred in the years preceding the 2016 contract.The Orinduik oil block is just a few kilometres from Exxon’s discoveries in the Liza and Payara fields. It is under the administration of Eco Guyana and Tullow, who signed a 10-year Petroleum Prospecting license and Production Sharing Agreement with Guyana in 2016. French firm Total E&P Activities Petrolieres entered the fray in 2017, partnering with Eco with the option to get a 25 per cent share in the block.Tullow Guyana BV is the operator of the Orinduik Block, with a 60 per cent stake. Besides the 25 per cent held by Total E&P Guyana, the remaining 15 per cent is held by Eco (Atlantic) Guyana Inc.
A 28-year-old Guyanese national who is wanted in Canada for attempted murder among other crimes and had been placed on the Interpol’s “Wanted” list was on Thursday arrested at the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) while trying to secure a driver’s licence.Benvolio Francois Caitanya was arrested at the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA)Benvolio Francois Caitanya was reportedly at the GRA’s Camp Street office location and in the process of securing a licence when the computerised security systems picked up the alert that the man had been on the Interpol list and was ‘red-flagged’.Interpol’s site, which contains a “Wanted” list, has Caitanya’s birthday documented as December 21, 1991, and Georgetown, Guyana as his place of birth.Canadian authorities also issued a wanted bulletin for the man in relation to “unauthorised possession of a firearm, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon, use firearm during commission of an indictable offence, discharge firearm with intent to wound, endanger life, conspiracy to commit murder, occupy motor vehicle with a firearm, attempted murder and failure to comply recognised”.In September, he had been charged with another man for conspiracy to forge documents and uttering forged documents but Caitanya was charged under a different surname.The Court was told back then that in February and September of 2019, the two conspired to forge a driver’s licence in the name of “Benvolio Valenski”.He, along with his co-accused, was also charged with forging a Guyana national identification (ID) card and was also charged with presenting false documents to an officer at the Central Immigration and Passport Office in order to obtain a new passport under a new name of Roy Anthony Sewnarine.Caitanya was granted bail in the sum of $300,000 while his co-accused was granted bail in the sum of $200,000.However, at the time that he was charged and placed before the Court and also had his pre-trial liberty granted, local law enforcement officials were unaware that he was an international fugitive.According to a source in the Guyana Police Force (GPF), Caitanya is presently in the GPF’s custody as investigations continue.

BERLIN – Judi Dench won’t be at the Academy Awards ceremony; instead, she will be watching from bed. “I can’t go to the Oscars because I’m going to have a knee operation,” said Dench, a Best Actress nominee for her performance in “Notes On A Scandal.” She presented the movie Monday at the Berlin Film Festival. “Don’t put money on me, because you’ll lose it,” Dench joked when asked about her chances on Oscar night Feb. 25. She’s up against Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz, Meryl Streep and the heavily favored Helen Mirren. But whatever happens, she said, “I shall watch and cheer from my bed.” The six-time Oscar nominee won as Best Supporting Actress for playing Queen Elizabeth I in 1998’s “Shakespeare in Love.” She stars in “Notes” as a lonely, scheming teacher who discovers a younger colleague, Cate Blanchett, is having an affair with a 15-year-old student. “I wouldn’t want her around,” Dench, 72, said of her character at a news conference. “She behaves appallingly.”

3 “I am very sad for the fans… I feel guilty.”🗣️ @CAFCofficial owner Roland Duchâtelet tells @JimWhite what he regrets most since buying the club in 2014.#CAFC fans, what do you make of what Duchâtelet says here? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/eEhS4DXWQO— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) October 29, 2018 3 3 Charlton have endured nothing but misery since Duchatelet bought the London club in 2014.Once Premier League regulars, and regarded as a model on how to run a smaller club in the top flight, the Addicks have dropped to League One and have seen ten managers come and go in his four-and-a-half years in charge.There is chaos behind the scenes, too, with the EFL seeking talks with the owner over a row with staff about unpaid bonuses and other cost-cutting measures.Supporters have been campaigning for their absent owner – who has not been to a game in FOUR YEARS and admits he rarely speaks to manager Lee Bowyer – to leave for the majority of his time in charge. ‘Roland out’ posters are a regular sight at the Valley 
Charlton owner Roland Duchatelet has admitted he feels ‘guilty’ over the way supporters have been treated during his spell in charge of the club.In a rare interview with talkSPORT host Jim White, the Belgian millionaire admitted his errors and apologised to fans for his and the club’s lack of communication. “But, for me, Charlton is something which I was interested in and I funded and, OK I lost some money, but it’s not my life“And in that sense it’s a sad thing, because the fans suffer more than I do.“Certainly we made some mistakes, and the big, big issue is we failed to communicate well with our fans.”Listen to Jim White’s full interview with Charlton owner Roland Duchatelet only on talkSPORT on Tuesday – tune in from 10am! Charlton fans protest against their absent owner And in an honest and open interview with talkSPORT, Duchatelet conceded he had made mistakes during his tenure at the Valley.He also revealed buyers are still interested in the club and that he would happily walk away from Charlton THIS YEAR, if they gain promotion back to the Championship.Speaking to Jim White he said: “I am, in fact, very sad for the fans, because it could have been another story.“I feel guilty because we didn’t inform them properly about what was going on.“For the fans, it’s very sad, because Charlton is their life.
Premium Irish whiskey company The Wild Geese have stepped in as sponsors for a new awards competition for small businesses in Donegal.Looking forward to The DLDC Wild Geese Irish Whiskey Enterprise Awards night next month are Louise Brogan, enterprise co-ordinator with Donegal Local Development Company, and Martin McBride, DLDC board member.The competition is for the hundreds of people who’ve set up their own businesses under the Enterprise Allowance scheme since 2009.The awards night will be held in Donegal Town on Friday 11th April. Three businesses will win a framed certificate plus £500 and will also go through to the regional awards in Cavan in June. Louise Brogan, enterprise co-ordinator with Donegal Local Development Company (DLDC), said she’s delighted with The Wild Geese sponsorship.“This is a successful company marketing a premium Irish product worldwide. We’re very pleased they’ve decided to come in and help promote small enterprises in Donegal,” she said.The Wild Geese has been voted ‘Best Irish Whiskey’ three times and celebrates the story of The Wild Geese, a name given to the Irish diaspora. Andre Levy, chairman of the company, said the awards fully deserved their support.“The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey celebrates the courage and determination of the Irish people when faced with adversity, and their successes and achievements. It’s important that we also celebrate and encourage local individuals in Ireland who have overcome challenges to succeed. Schemes such as The Back To Work Enterprise Allowance Scheme in Donegal, where unemployment has been a major problem, offer the support and advice needed to allow individuals to forge their own path in business in Ireland rather than overseas.”’ The DLDC Wild Geese Irish Whiskey Enterprise Awards 2014 are open to any business started through the Enterprise Allowance scheme in the last five years in the DLDC area. This now covers all of Donegal apart from Inishowen.Application forms for the awards have been sent to those currently on the scheme. Anyone who hasn’t already entered will have to be quick – the closing date is Friday 28th March.The Enterprise Allowance scheme is geared towards those who are unemployed or who’ve been made redundant. And not surprisingly the numbers on the scheme have shot up since the recession arrived in 2008.Louise said: “It’s become an even more important scheme for Donegal – the number of businesses we deal with each year doubled in 2009 and has stayed at that level ever since.”The success of the Enterprise Allowance programme in Donegal has brought it to national attention. It’s regarded as a model of small business development. Louise and her team offer mentoring, training and specialist coaching to help a business idea became a reality. The winners of The DLDC Wild Geese awards next month will go through to the Northwest regional awards in Cavan in June.‘THE WILD GEESE’ BACK NEW DONEGAL BUSINESS AWARDS was last modified: March 27th, 2014 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Tags:business awardsThe Wild Geese
Some of the work done at the landfill since DTSC took over last November includes repairing wells, monitoring equipment, storm drains and flare stations, Hanson said. christina.esparza@sgvn.com (626) 962-8811, Ext. 2472160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

WEST COVINA – While 27 companies who have disposed of waste at the BKK Landfill agreed to maintain the dump’s cleanup efforts for the next two years, state officials said Thursday they are still trying to get another 24 to comply. Marilee Hanson, attorney for the state Department of Toxic Substances Control – the agency that filed a complaint against the companies – said DTSC is pursuing the 24 companies to help in the maintenance and repair of the landfill. In the meantime, 27 companies that have used the landfill agreed Wednesday to take over maintenance and repairs on it. DTSC took over the cleanup after BKK Corp. officials said they could no longer afford it. Although the consent decree must be approved by a judge first, the 27 companies agreed to pay $5.2 million for the maintenance, and another $1 million to reimburse DTSC for its part in overseeing the cleanup the next two years.

Dragna, a Los Angeles-based attorney with Bingham and McCutchen LLP, said his clients will work with the regulatory agencies to identify thousands of other customers of the landfill, as well as help prod the other 24 companies to participate in the cleanup. Some of the other companies identified in the complaint that have not yet reached an agreement with DTSC include Boeing, Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy.
