Urgent Need for LLL Saints Volunteers

Alumni and Well-Wishers,

In order to make a success of the Last Lap Lime in 2017, SSCAAT needs a large number of volunteers (about 25) to work at different booths on Monday August 7th, 2017.

We also need 5 volunteers to help in setting up tents on the preceding Sunday and taking the same down on the following Tuesday in order to avoid having to pay somebody to do these necessary tasks.

AN EVIL THAT WILL SINK THE COUNTRY

Jul 21, 2017 Editorial  –  Kaieteur News

Most Guyanese by now have been convinced, by some revelation or other, that they are living in a corrupt society where most of the major institutions are woefully corrupt. There are some institutions that fare better than others in terms of corruption, but in the view of the man-in-the-street, the overwhelming consensus is that many individuals responsible for large financial undertakings are choking with the gains of corruption, which has become a norm in society.   Continue reading →

Venezuela’s Perfect Storm for Oil May Be About to Break – By Liam Denning

“We may be about to see the first sovereign producer to unequivocally fail.”

Map of Venezuela

The oil producer in question is Venezuela, and that assessment comes courtesy of Helima Croft, who is global head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets and formerly worked with both the Council on Foreign Relations and the CIA.

In a global oil market mired in excess inventory and low expectations, Venezuela is the most tangible of wildcards. Its tragic and volatile mix of a failing, oil-dependent economy, political gridlock and simmering unrest is well known at this point.

People Have Been Taking Vitamin D All Wrong, Study Shows

Of all places to do a study on sunshine and health, the United Kingdom has produced a ground-breaking paper proving that vitamin-D supplement therapy has been based on a fallacy: That the human body doesn’t distinguish between vitamin D2 from plants and vitamin D3 from animal sources.

It does, according to the study, which was done on adult women.  The scientists didn’t check men and children, at least yet.    Continue reading →
