« Previous Country | Next Country » Back to Flag Counter Overview
|Originally a Dutch colony in the 17th century, by 1815 Guyana had become a British possession. The abolition of slavery led to black settlement of urban areas and the importation of indentured servants from India to work the sugar plantations. The resulting ethnocultural divide has persisted and has led to turbulent politics. Guyana achieved independence from the UK in 1966, and since then it has been ruled mostly by socialist-oriented governments. In 1992, Cheddi JAGAN was elected president in what is considered the country's first free and fair election since independence. After his death five years later, his wife, Janet JAGAN, became president but resigned in 1999 due to poor health. Her successor, Bharrat JAGDEO, was reelected in 2001 and again in 2006. Donald RAMOTAR was elected president in 2011.

The Guyanese economy exhibited moderate economic growth in recent years and is based largely on agriculture and extractive industries. The economy is heavily dependent upon the export of six commodities - sugar, gold, bauxite, shrimp, timber, and rice - which represent nearly 60% of the country's GDP and are highly susceptible to adverse weather conditions and fluctuations in commodity prices. Guyana's entrance into the Caricom Single Market and Economy (CSME) in January 2006 has broadened the country''s export market, primarily in the raw materials sector. Guyana has experienced positive growth almost every year over the past decade. Inflation has been kept under control. Recent years have seen the government''s stock of debt reduced significantly - with external debt now less than half of what it was in the early 1990s. Chronic problems include a shortage of skilled labor and a deficient infrastructure. Despite recent improvements, the government is still juggling a sizable external debt against the urgent need for expanded public investment. In March 2007, the Inter-American Development Bank, Guyana''s principal donor, canceled Guyana''s nearly $470 million debt, equivalent to 21% of GDP, which along with other Highly Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) debt forgiveness brought the debt-to-GDP ratio down from 183% in 2006 to 120% in 2007. Guyana became heavily indebted as a result of the inward-looking, state-led development model pursued in the 1970s and 1980s. Growth slowed in 2009 as a result of the world recession, but picked up in 2010-11, before slowing again in 2012, as a result of a second recession, this focused mainly in Europe. The slowdown in the domestic economy and lower import costs has helped to narrow the country''s current account deficit, despite generally lower earnings from exports.

However, I doubt this will happen to other users. Isolation is quite good; they isolate about as well as my ER6s, despite using single-flange tips.

Track Tracks are small, blurry marks, often showing drag mark of tail. Shrew tracks are seldom seen and are usually composed of only a few dots in dust, snow or sand.
Sign Small burrows that are wider than high. Snail shells piled under logs. Tracks and other signs are of limited usefulness in identifying shrews, both elements are tiny and not distinctive. Burrows are often so small they might be mistaken for tunnels of large earthworms, and prints are often blurred dots. Those interested in identifying the whereabouts of shrews should look for tiny burrow openings in the ground, in a bank, or in moss, or for runways of freshly disturbed soil under a log or under the lip of a bank.

"I'm trying to keep the bubble intact until they approach me about it. I don't know if they know and just don't want to have the conversation, or if at sixteen you think your parents are going to live forever."
"I worry about our kids. There's so much weight I feel to keep them from being affected by PH."
Betty Lou and Hannah with their families' little ones at Conference 2010
If you have pulmonary hypertension and you are a parent, talking to your children about your illness may be one of the most challenging emotional issues you will face with this disease.
How and what you tell your child depends largely on both their age and ability to understand and cope with information. In addition, since how PH affects you will most likely change over time, what information you give your children may need to change over time as well.
Written from the perspective of PH patient with a background in child development and a nurse with experience in talking children through a parent's illness, this article is meant to serve only as a general guide to begin this important conversation. We highly recommend that after you read this article you take the next step of consulting with child development experts who know your child and your family, such as your pediatrician and a teacher or school guidance counselor.
If you are going through an intense diagnostic or treatment process, be aware that even at this young age children may be aware that something is amiss. Be prepared for the possibility of changes in your very young child's behavior, such as disruptions in sleep patterns, regression of milestones (such as potty training), and increased behavioral issues such as tantrums or aggression. These are ways that very small children let us know that they are aware something is different in their world, even when they cannot understand or express it. Stay calm, stick to your routine, and be as nurturing and patient as possible. Remember, when it comes to a baby or toddler's behavior, most often "this too shall pass."
Preschoolers are self-centered, concrete thinkers. Children at this age may ask questions about your oxygen or medication supplies that they can see, but the inner workings of PH will be well beyond them. Be honest, but don't give any more information than the child needs to know or wants to ask. Simple answers like, "That is Mommy's medicine" or "That helps Daddy breathe well at night" will most likely suffice small curiosity. If, however, you have a "But WHY???" stage on your hands, continue to stick to simple answers: "Because the doctor says it helps," "Because we do things to keep our bodies healthy and this is one thing I do," etc.
If there is a chance you could become too ill to care for your preschooler for a while, or may have to go to the hospital for a stay, children at this age want to know one thing: "Who will take care of me?" Don't take it personally if they aren't overly concerned about your own well-being at that moment – that's not how their little minds are wired to work just yet. Think through this question ahead of time and come up with a list of special people who will be there for your child if this kind of situation arises. Share the list of people with other caregivers and teachers so that your child can receive a consistent message. Children at this age thrive on predictability, sense of security, and routine. In so much as is possible, make sure these things are in place in case of a crisis.
Another thing to be aware of is that children in preschool may process their understanding of your illness through play. They may act out "doctor" with more sophistication than their peers if they are aware of pumps and cannulas. While this may be a bit unsettling for you, understand that it is a child's natural way of processing and exploring information. Any fear or uncertainty they have may also be displayed in their play, so be on the lookout for signs that your child is worried about your illness and don't hesitate to contact your pediatrician for advice on how to best support them at this stage.
Children at this age are still concrete thinkers, but they are able to visualize on a more abstract level as well. You may want to use a doll or a bear to show where the heart and lungs are so that they can see where the sick part is in the body. Again, as with younger children, keep your conversations brief and concrete. Answer questions very honestly, but don't provide more information than the child asks or can handle.
You may need to be prepared for questions about your mortality ("Are you going to die?"), if PH is contagious ("Can I catch it?") and feelings of guilt ("Did Mommy get sick because I was naughty?"). Think through how you will answer these questions for your child. If they aren't asked, don't raise them on your own.
Perhaps the most difficult question parents with a serious illness have to answer is about their mortality. Be honest by explaining that all living things will some day pass away, but try not to focus on the fact that your passing may be sooner than a healthy parent's (remember, we don't know when medication is going to turn things around or a cure will be found!).
Children at this age still may not react to your illness in a way you might expect. Even after you tell them you are sick, they may run off and play as usual. Do not take this personally! They may need time to process, or they may not have fully grasped the idea just yet. They will in time, and may come to you later with more questions or fears that need to be discussed.
As with preschoolers, look for changes in behavior that signal your child is having difficulty understanding or coping. Depending on how you feel about sharing information on your illness, talking to school personnel may be a very good idea. Classroom teachers appreciate this kind of information so that they can be sensitive to your child's needs during the day. School counselors may be available to help your child process feelings. Taking a team approach with the school may be the best way to support your child.
By adolescence, kids are able to understand significantly more. The best approach at this age is complete openness and honesty. As with children of younger ages, take your cues from them and don't over-share.
It is okay to ask more leading questions at this stage to encourage conversation from a teen who may be a reluctant communicator or who is afraid to upset you. Remember we live in the age of the Internet, so if you don't talk about it, the computer very well might! Be sure you are steering your teen to the right information.
Because they are better able to understand and talk about your condition, it could be tempting to lean on your child as your primary source of emotional support, but this is probably not the best approach. This is not to say that you shouldn't talk about your feelings together, but avoid asking your teenager to assume an adult role. Keep the lines of communication open and balanced.
Ask your child if they want to talk to a counselor or another trusted adult about their feelings. Know that teenagers' friends are central in their worlds right now and they may choose to lean on them instead of you. Sharing with your teen's friends' parents may help so that other adults can be ready to offer assistance and guidance if necessary.
Above all, with children of any age, reassure your child that you love them unconditionally and that getting sick is something that happens sometimes, even when we don't really understand why. Reassure them that they are healthy themselves and that it is not their fault that their parent is sick.
If your family has a faith or spirituality you wish to impart to your children, be sure to weave that into these difficult conversations. Offer your child an open line of communication. Be on the lookout for signs that they need extra support, and use your community resources as much as necessary.
There is some good information online about talking to your child about life-changing illness. While many of the sources are specific to illnesses like cancer, much of the information below can be generalized so it's useful to parents living with PH.

"One of the greatest opportunities offered to Princeton students is the chance to have a significant educational experience abroad — or immersed in another culture," said Diana Davies, vice provost for international initiatives.
About Global Summer
More than 1,300 Princeton undergraduate and graduate students traveled throughout the United States and to 90 countries around the globe last summer for academic study, independent research, internships and civic engagement projects. In this interactive feature, you can take a global journey with more than two dozen students from many disciplines who engaged in a broad array of opportunities in summer 2013 by selecting pinpoints on the map below.
"It's our goal for every Princeton student to have at least one significant international or intercultural experience, making this a core part of a Princeton education," Davies said. "In fact, many students already take advantage of the programs and funding support available to them to go abroad multiple times."
Princeton's numerous summer opportunities are made possible through grants, awards and the University's partnerships. Students can find funding information on the Student Activities Funding Engine (SAFE) website.

Princeton student-athletes, coaches and administrators representing a cross-section of the campus athletics community have participated in "Weapons of Mass Construction," a service initiative established by the Princeton Varsity Club and Isles Inc. As part of a renovation of the Mill One site in Hamilton, Princeton senior Octavio Fleury, a member of the football team, works on the interior of the building, helping with demolition and clearing walls that needed to be removed.

Video feature: Weapons of Mass Construction
Posted September 22, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
Since spring 2009, the Princeton Varsity Club has partnered with Isles Inc., a Trenton-based community development organization, to involve Princeton student-athletes and other campus community members in "Weapons of Mass Construction," an effort to help revitalize poor urban areas located just miles from the University.
This video features the participants and activities of "Weapons of Mass Construction." To date, more than 375 student-athletes, coaches, athletic administrators and academic-athletic fellows have dedicated more than 1,400 service hours to the program from a wide cross-section of Princeton teams.
Play the "Weapons of Mass Construction" video.
Isles was founded by Princeton students and faculty under the leadership of Martin Johnson, a 1981 Princeton graduate and varsity football letter-winner. Johnson, who is CEO of Isles, noted that the organization's mission "is to foster self-reliant families in healthy, sustainable communities."
With that goal in mind, the Princeton Varsity Club has participated in "Weapons of Mass Construction" projects at Mill One, a six-and-a-half acre site in Hamilton that is being converted by Isles into a mixed-used, green village that will ultimately house offices for public interest and environmental organizations, a training center for inner-city youth, as well as homes and artist studios. The Princeton contingent also has worked to create a 10,000-square-foot garden that was formed to not only grow fresh vegetables, but to teach young men and women about the importance of farming. The site for the garden is located outside the doors of the Isles YouthBuild Institute in downtown Trenton and has been used as teaching tool for the YouthGrow teen gardening program that focuses on urban agriculture.
Peter Farrell, the head coach of the Princeton women's cross-country and track and field teams, has participated in Weapons of Mass Construction each year since its inception, working side-by-side with his student-athletes. He spoke of the enduring experience the initiative has on the participants.
"You're planting a seed for future involvement on behalf of student-athletes," Farrell said. "The continuity is extremely important. Marty's been doing this for 30 years down here [in Trenton], a Princeton student whose project became a realization and [who] is here, helping the community. You don't know which one of these kids will become another Marty Johnson."
To read more about the program, visit the Princeton Varsity Club website.

Review Details
Transit 2 Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on August 11, 2009):
In planning for a long trip this summer, I weighed pros & cons of various suits & jackets. I had mesh and cloth gear, but each had disadvantages (as in needing rain suit for mesh gear or looking like a dork in a restaurant / bar in my fluorescent yellow retinal burning commuter jacket). Wanted one do it all out fit to minimize weight, bulk in my luggage and maximal protection. Was really attracted to abrasion protection offered by my discount perforated leather jacket but armor was not greatest and would still have to pack a rain suit. Plus any rain suit would have me sweating inside soon.
Saw catalog description of Transit suit with claim of best of both worlds and took a chance. Very glad that I did.
Did several weeks on the road this July with only the Transit pants & jacket. Went through a series of heavy storms, as well as mild rain.
One storm in particular stood out: torrential rains with hail, lightning, winds and traffic dodging all over the turnpike (Ohio) in a section with jersey barriers on each side and flooded road surface under about 1-2 inches of water. For obvious reasons, like lightning and standing water and no over pass and idiot cagers dodging all over the road as they were blinded by the torrential rains , stopping was not an option. Being in total control was. Without distractions of getting wet or suffering hypothermia. I was amazed. The suit kept me totally dry. I was damp inside from sweating a bit and having 100% humidity on the outside, so hard to evaporate body moisture out. But never once did I get cold or wet. And was able to completely focus on what was at hand. Plus, suit dried out far faster than my leather gloves (deerskin ropers) did.
Then, due to poor planning on my part, I got to test higher temps in the suit. Got stuck in 85+ F degree temps riding thru Friday afternoon traffic in Chicago on Rt 80 as I was heading west. (Don't do it - if riding west from DC or Baltimore - take 70 West and then 65 North to Illinois 24 West - and avoid Chicago like the plague unless you want to develop hand strength from clutching& braking for hours - yeah boy that was fun - not!).
In 5 hrs of stop & go traffic, the suit was fine. Opened up the jacket at sleeves and front zipper and stopped to hydrate periodically. Once out of traffic and above 20 mph, with a CoolMax undershirt, airflow & cooling was fine.
So, can not say enough good things about suit performance. Did everything as claimed. And the armor is superb in feel and comfort. The back protector in particular impressed me with its size in terms of back area covered (width as well as length.)
A few niggles:
- the top outer left chest pocket will hold a BlackBerry Storm but not in a protective hard / waterproof case that you can buy for it. I used the zip closure style snack size (6 1/2" x 3 1/4") plastic bag to ensure water did not short out my BlackBerry. But after the storm described above, I found no evidence of water in the pocket. Still, it would be nice if the pocket was a bit wider / bigger to accommodate a smart phone within a protective hard case.
- due to lack of customizable size, my jacket has a longer sleeve than my other jackets. Not a big deal per se. Just that heavily armored gauntlet gloves will not fit easily under the sleeve, and due to longer sleeve length make putting the guantlet over the sleeve uncomfortable for me. However slim gauntlet style gloves, like Lee Parks, fit under sleeves fine. But shorter gloves like Aerostich Elkskin Ropers, Aerostich Vegan, Lee Parks Touring gloves or a short gauntlet glove like CoreTech's Vice are a better choice for underneath the sleeve.
- for really hot temps like 95 - 105 degrees F, in stop & go traffic, you may want to bring a true mesh jacket along with upgraded armor. You sacrifice protection from abrasion & impact but getter better airflow if not traveling at speed. If at speed, in drier climates, the Transit suit should be all you need. Just stay hydrated and wet down.

An excellent pic. It really makes me miss Vancouver
Tres Jolie. Well done...
A beautiful view of Vancouver on a perfect day. I was visiting Granville Island in October for the iDMAA conference and took the following 360 VR views around the Island and False Creek www.360cities.net/search/photowebl ab-granville-island
Thanks Stoney! Everything was stitched with GigaPan Sitcher v1.1.1240 with vignetting correction off. I used the camera's built-in peripheral illumination correction. I then cleaned up the 'stitch joints' (mostly of cars, people and street details) in Photoshop. Sky, mountains, buildings were unaltered.
Very nice Ronnie :) I especially like the BC ambulance helicopter and the clarity of the mountains. Did you use the dehazer in APG RC 2.5? Also the sky is blended very well. Did you need to apply adjust vignetting or use in camera peripheral illumination? And I thought the plane was a spec of dust until the dust move around and I zoomed in. This is expecially good for 10 gigapixels :)

Bill T. Jones's 'Continuous Creation'
Posted January 14, 2011; 03:17 p.m.
Director and choreographer Bill T. Jones will discuss his seminal dance work and lead an open rehearsal with Princeton students Jan. 18 in the Stewart Theater. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
Princeton University's Program in Dance is
honored to welcome the internationally acclaimed
director and choreographer of the Bill T.
Jones/Arnie Zane dance company and 2010
Kennedy Center honors recipient Bill T. Jones
to the Lewis Center for the Arts on Tuesday, Jan. 18.
Jones will discuss the origin and evolution
of "Continuous Replay," a seminal dance work
that was originally choreographed as a solo
by Mr. Jones's late partner, Arnie Zane, in
1978 and will be performed as a group work
by Princeton University students at the Spring
Dance Festival in February.
In a recent interview conducted in Venice,
Italy, Mr. Jones reflects on time past and
present, expressing that much has changed
since he co-founded the Bill T. Jones/Arnie
Zane Dance Company 28 years ago, around the
same time that "Continuous Replay" was first created.
Bill T. Jones:
The company is now 28 years old. There's nobody
in my world who remembers when the company started.
Bill T. Jones:
There's no one, save the lighting
designer, Robert Wierzel, who remembers Arnie Zane...
Bill T. Jones:
who knew him. So, this passage of
time is very real.
Bill T. Jones:
This memory that as time goes on becomes my memory,
as opposed to the group memory.
Bill T. Jones:
But I have to make my peace with the fact
Bill T. Jones:
that everything is changing, and it changes
rapidly... quickly. Sometimes, it makes me very anxious.
Bill T. Jones:
Sometimes, it makes me sad. And sometimes, it's exhilarating.
Bill T. Jones:
Like a parent with a child, the child is going to learn
as they learn. The parent has to enjoy that
Bill T. Jones:
as opposed to being frightened by it. I am
trying to enjoy it -- this change, this rapid
Bill T. Jones:
change, new personalities, new problems --
I'm trying to enjoy it, the change.
Excerpts from "Continuous Replay" were staged
on Princeton University students, shown here
in rehearsal.
Bill T. Jones's choreography will be performed
during the Spring Dance Festival at the Berlind
Theatre on Feb. 18-20, 2011.

Whit Anderson:
I've seen some very original designs and some great comebacks from some poor starts.
Whit Anderson:
As a country I feel like we are slipping behind the rest of the world,
Whit Anderson:
so I think things like this are very important.
This is our robot. It's awesome!
It's a competition, really, where schools compete in different events.
And each event, they have to study and build stuff.
(hammering, music)
Yan Zhang:
When I was in high school and in middle school, what we would do was just take our exams.
Yan Zhang:
This is quite different than that.
Yan Zhang:
So they might learn to how use what they have learned in school and use in the real life.
(popping, crowd chatter)
Yan Zhang:
Maybe in the kitchen.
John Grieb:
We are really testing their ability to build a vehicle that meets a particular specification.
John Grieb:
This is the ability to build a vehicle that will operate within certain criteria.
I feel great.
I feel elated.
Yeah, all our hard work really paid off.
Ekua Bentil:
I think the process of building the robots together teaches them teamwork and also some electrical engineering.
Ekua Bentil:
And also I think it's going to encourage more students to want to go into science.
(music, machine and crowd noises)
Got quite a bit of road kill there.
Yeah! Finally!
That's it. Yeah.
We learned really, mainly, that ...

Dancing and tumbling in the wind, a fall leaf gives color to the beauty of the Princeton University campus. In the fall season, the campus comes alive in orange, yellow and red, while still holding on to some green. Students put on layers of fleece, knits and flannels, and enjoy the changing seasons. This video shows the beauty of the Princeton campus in the fall, with a leaf as a guide.

The wind carries the leaves through walkways and archways, past bounding squirrels and down steps. On display are the colors of autumn; the colors of Princeton.

Students perform 'Assassins' after theatrical debut in Scotland
Posted September 27, 2012; 01:45 p.m.
After debuting their production of "Assassins" at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland this summer, the Princeton University Players will perform the well-known musical on campus Sept. 27-29 and Oct. 4-6. Edinburgh, home to the largest arts festival in the world, marked the first time the student theater troupe performed abroad in its 26-year history.
Fourteen Princeton students who made up the show's cast and crew traveled this August to Edinburgh, where they joined thousands of musicians, actors, comedians, dancers and more performing on stages and at street corners. The trip provided an opportunity to share their work with a bustling, international audience and experience art of all forms.
"It was fabulous to see how universal theater and entertainment truly are," said junior Izzy Kasdin, who co-directed the show. "Walking around the city we saw traditional South Korean dancing next to comedians shouting out in thick Irish brogues. I felt like I'd become part of not just a Princeton theater community, but a global theater community."

Translating the dark musical comedy to a largely non-American audience also inspired the students, Kasdin said. "Assassins," with music and lyrics written by Stephen Sondheim, goes into the minds of individuals who have killed or attempted to assassinate U.S. presidents.
"One of the most rewarding parts of being at an event like the Fringe was the ability to draw in people we did not know," she said. "When we perform on campus, the audiences are pretty much filled with friends and family. In Scotland, we had to start from scratch."
Co-director and junior Lily Gold said it was up to the students to manage every aspect of their trip to Edinburgh, from securing a venue and setting up their stage each day, to promoting "Assassins" in the streets among the din of festival attendees.
Gold said their hard work paid off: All six performances sold out and the Princeton University Players received a four-star review in the Broadway Baby Edinburgh Review, which covered more than 1,900 festival shows for its website and paper.
"We went to Scotland for the challenge of managing a production at a major international event and the experience of being among artists from around the world," she said. "It was a bonus, and completely humbling, to also be recognized by critics and audiences."
She added that the University's Lewis Center for the Arts, the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students and the Program in American Studies helped support the group's trip.
The students said they look forward to bringing the energy and verve of the Fringe Festival to their performances at Princeton.
The Princeton University Players will present "Assassins," at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 27-29 and Oct. 4-6, as well as at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, in the Frist Campus Center Film and Performance Theater. Tickets are $8 for students, $10 for senior citizens, faculty and staff, and $12 for the general public, and may be purchased through University Ticketing online, at the Frist Campus Center ticket office or by calling 609-258-1742.

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Albino dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun's harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.
