The Guyana Government will provide an additional US$2M to ensure the full implementation of this project.It was revealed also that these areas require urgent intervention, since severe flooding of farmlands, inadequate drainage systems and neglect of small scale farming have impeded agricultural development.Additionally, heavy equipment will be procured to facilitate the rehabilitative works in these selected areas, providing access to land for farming and necessary support services.Further, a fruits and vegetable and dairy farm will be established at President’s College to promote and develop climate-resilient agricultural programmes in schools.It is anticipated that with the improved drainage and access, the new farmlands will be brought under cultivation, with a variety of crops and fruits being targeted for production to meet the needs of the community and surrounding villages – and with an eye on exports.Signing the agreement on behalf of the Guyana Government was Minister of Finance,NCAA Football Jerseys, Winston Jordan. Present at the ceremony was also, the Minister of Agriculture, Noel Holder and officials from his Ministry including Permanent Secretary, George Jervis, along with representatives of several entities, namely the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA); Regional Democratic Councils (RDCs) of Ithaca, Buxton, Triumph and Mocha: National Agriculture Research and Extension Institute (NAREI) and President’s College.Signing on behalf of the CDF was its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Rodinald Soomer, who told the gathering that the areas being targeted, have a combined population of 1,200 farmers, thereby potentially impacting the lives of close to 35,000 individuals. He added also that 155 kilometres of canals and drains will be constructed; both new and rehabilitated structures; along with 40 kilometres of fair weather dam and one pump station.Soomer said that these interventions will allow farmers to reclaim an initial 2,500 acres of abandoned land, and to bring them back into cultivation, which will result in increased production and increased opportunities to restore agricultural exports to the CARICOM Market.The investment in Guyana, the CEO said, is being made possible by virtue of the State making its agreed contribution of US$3,807,263 (approximately G$786.3M) to the CDF which allowed it to access US$10,432,263 (approximately G$2.15B) effectively obtaining US$2.74 for every US$1.0 contributed.The Ministry of Finance in a subsequent release stated that the inking of these agreements is yet another demonstration of the emerging “robust” relationship between the Government of Guyana and the CDF. It added also that the project builds on the overall strategic development of the agriculture sector, especially as Government seeks to enhance the livelihood of rural, long ‘neglected’ village communities – amongst other development strategies.The release further stated that Guyana has benefitted previously, from financing to the tune of US$11,879,901 for the upgrading of farm access roads in Regions Three (Essequibo Islands/West Demerara), Four, and Five, contributing to increasing sustainable agricultural production all year.“Specifically, a total of 32km of asphaltic concrete and all-weather roads were constructed and rehabilitated in Parika, Ruby and Laluni. Guyana’s performance has been deemed impressive, as these works were successfully completed on time and within budget. More importantly, Guyana was the first country to pay in full, its assessed contribution to the fund, for replenishment of the CDF for the second funding cycle.” The release stated.This made Guyana eligible for financing of its second Country Assistance Programme (CAP) and became the first Member State to benefit from this cycle of CDF funding. This project will build on, and be complemented by the Sustainable Agricultural Development Programme supported by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to the tune of US$15M, and the Hinterland Environmentally Sustainable Agricultural Project supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to the tune of US$10.8M.

"And this is a big playbook in a different language, so I'm a little bit back,Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic," Aiyegbusi said. "I'm trying to catch up. My weekends are all about lying in bed and resting and reading the playbook and watching the film and trying to get better."
For the Vikings, this was the ultimate low-risk,Air Max 97 For Sale, high-reward move, given the 90-man roster they're afforded during the offseason. When it's time to reach the 53-player limit at the end of training camp, though, or even assemble the 10-man practice squad, finding space for an undrafted player is always tricky. Even for a prospect of his enviable size, the lack of college experience will be a big hurdle for him.
They all played high school and college football in the United States, though. Aiyegbusi played his first game at age 18.

His name is pronounced bah-BUH-toon-day ah-YEHG-boo-sehee. It's Nigerian, the nationality of his father who moved to Poland and met Aiyegbusi's mother. Aiyegbusi is married with a 3-year-old son, a family he eagerly returned to this weekend after three months away for workouts and practices with the Vikings.
Research by the Vikings turned up four other Poland-born players in modern NFL history. Three were kickers, including Sebastian Janikowski, the 15-year veteran of the Oakland Raiders. Defensive tackle Jason Maniecki, who spent three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1996-98, was the only position player.
He was as big as advertised on the YouTube clip with more than 580,000 views, highlighting pancake block after pancake block.
The Vikings were impressed enough to fly Aiyegbusi to Minnesota for a private workout two days after the session at Texas-San Antonio. They signed him the next day.
He's hungry to soak up as much skill and strategy of the sport as he can to share with Polish teammates, the guys he's used to staying up with until 7 a.m. to watch NFL games live before scattering for work or school. Even if this experience doesn't last past August, he'll always be an ambassador to Poland of the game he's become so fond of.
"He's running down the field almost catching the running back after he blocks. I'm like, 'Man, is this real?'" Griffin said.
Working in the security industry, Aiyegbusi finally felt financially secure enough this year to take the risk of traveling to the U.S. for his NFL tryout — with no guaranteed contract and the constant threat of being cut.
EDEN PRAIRIE,Adrian Wilson Cardinals Jersey, Minn. (AP) — Babatunde Aiyegbusi has limited American football experience in leagues in Germany and his native Poland. Yet the 27-year-old offensive tackle is getting a shot at the NFL.
His team in the top Polish league,Authentic NBA T-shirts Canada, the Wroclaw Giants, won the championship in 2013. He played for Dresden in the German league last year. Texas Tech assistant coach Kevin Curtis has contacts overseas and alerted agent Jeff Griffin to a highlight video of Aiyegbusi, who's ineligible for college ball because he's been paid in Europe. Griffin had a hard time believing the film.
Aiyegbusi said he's been warmly welcomed by the Vikings, some of whom went out with him one day for Polish food in the northeast part of Minneapolis that was settled largely by Eastern Europeans. Some of his teammates even expressed interest in visiting him in Poland in the future.
To try to prevent that, he's had his oversized head buried in the team's oversized playbook.
He is the latest example of the obsessive search by NFL teams for unknown talent, a hunt unbounded by U.S. borders. Hulking at 6-foot-9 and 350 pounds, it's a wonder how Aiyegbusi has ever been hidden.
"My opportunity is just for them to get better," Aiyegbusi said. "Everything that I learn here I will bring back home one day and then teach them."
"The guy is truly a sponge. He absorbs all the information. Completely coachable," Vikings offensive line coach Jeff Davidson said. "We are starting from ground zero, though, so I know as a coach I have to be patient. We're just looking each day to find one thing that he's going to improve on, because you can't do them all at once."
With scouts from more than half of the NFL teams scheduled to attend a pro day workout at Texas-San Antonio in less than two weeks, Griffin hustled to secure an expedited visa for Aiyegbusi, with NFL assistance. Waiting until his new client's 4 a.m. arrival the day before the workout, Griffin waited with worry that "the guy was going to come out and be 5-8,World Baseball Classic Jerseys, 340."
Worst case, this is a rewarding cultural exchange.
"I consider myself as a smart guy, so I feel like I can handle the playbook," Aiyegbusi said,Authentic Buffalo Bills Jersey, catching his breath after a recent practice. "But still, in Europe, my physique was good enough for beating everyone. And down here, you guys are big and strong. And they've got good technique. If he's not stronger than you, he's probably got better technique and knows what you will do before you do it, actually."

The Texans have 10 days before they'll try to get back on track when they travel to Jacksonville on Oct. 18.
HOUSTON (AP) — Brian Hoyer has his job back as Houston's starting quarterback.
Notes: Along with their quarterback switch, the Texans are also dealing with another injury to last year's top overall pick Jadeveon Clowney, though this one doesn't seem serious. He had a walking boot on his right ankle in the locker room on Friday, but O'Brien said he's OK and should play against the Jaguars. Clowney played just four games as a rookie last season because of various injuries before season-ending microfracture surgery. He was injured early in Thursday night's game,Air Max 270 Sale, but missed only a couple of plays before returning to the field.  ...  The Texans should get receiver Cecil Shorts back for the next game after he sat out Thursday with a shoulder injury,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, but Nate Washington (hamstring) is day to day.
His struggles continued in a 48-21 loss to Atlanta when he threw an interception and didn't lead the Texans to any points before Hoyer took over. Hoyer threw two touchdown passes and directed three scoring drives late against a Falcons defense that had pulled most of its starters. O'Brien stuck with Mallett, starting him again on Thursday — and the results were much the same.

O'Brien has liked the way Hoyer has played in the two games since the season opener,nfl jerseys china, when he seemed a bit tight.
Mallett helped Houston to its only win in his second start when he threw a touchdown pass,Wholesale Jerseys China, but also had an interception in a 19-9 victory over Tampa Bay.
"There's no position that's more important than quarterback when it comes to consistency," O'Brien said. "Over the last however many quarters he's played (Hoyer's) been a consistent player for us."
"It's 11 one-game seasons so he's the starter for Jacksonville," O'Brien said. "I think over the last two games he's gone in there with a really good attitude, with a calmness about him,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, with really good mechanics. Has he been perfect? No. But I think that ... overall he's played pretty well."
Hoyer came in and Mallett was fine a couple of minutes later, but O'Brien went with Hoyer for the rest of the game. Mallett was not happy about the decision and appeared to be moping on the sidelines.
Hoyer replaced Mallett in the second quarter on Thursday night and threw for 312 yards and two touchdowns. He was intercepted by Mike Adams with less than 2 minutes left to help seal the Colts' 27-20 victory.
A pass deflected by Arian Foster was intercepted on Houston's first drive on Thursday and Mallett was unable to get the Texans any points on the next two drives either. He took an illegal hit to the ribs on Houston's next possession, forcing him out of the game.
Although O'Brien is going with Hoyer against the Jaguars, he wouldn't commit to anything beyond that.
"Ryan's a competitor and he wants to play, but we have to do what's best for the team and that's what we think is best for the team right now," O'Brien said.
Hoyer won the job out of camp but was pulled in the fourth quarter of a season-opening loss to the Chiefs after committing two turnovers. Ryan Mallett has started since then,Adidas NHL Jerseys China, but he has struggled and Hoyer took over in both of the last two games as the Texans fell to 1-4.
