Bordalás: “We don’t have stars and we do have a lot of commitment”
Zidane says that Getafe is ten. How do you rate it?For me it is an example and a reference. He is always grateful to a football man with his experience that values what Getafe is doing.How are Kenedy and Jason?Kenedy still has a problem and is not one hundred percent. Jason has been with gastroenteritis today and we’ll see if he gets to play the game.How is the phenomenon of Getafe explained in the last two decades?It is difficult to give an explanation. There is a person who is the president who started everything and the maximum responsible. He got the team to be in Primera and keep it, to get attention and play in Europe. After a few more irregular years to recover the category everything has been very good moments and we have exceeded expectations. Everything is work. We are a group without big stars and a lot of commitment.Do you have a thorn nailed for not having won Real Madrid?No. We are a small club and the important thing is to add the points we need for our goal. Winning Real Madrid is very difficult. It’s not bad to open the year against Real Madrid.We want to return to the competition and do it against Real Madrid is always attractive. We are excited Is it the best time to measure Real Madrid for its lack of goal?Getafe has earned respect by doing things well and rivals have to do very well to overcome us. Real Madrid has players with scoring ability and can surprise you at any time. They make great transitions and if they have scored less goals in the last few days, it is not because they lack a goal.What can one say to a hobby that has sold out?They will encourage the team as always because they are excited and there is a great complicity between the team and the fans. Receiving a great rival like Real Madrid in the Coliseum is very beautiful and I hope we will be able to make a great game and give them a victory.Can this year end better than the past?I would sign it, but it is not possible. Last season was fantastic. We are not yet in Ecuador and the second laps are very difficult with all the teams playing a lot. The distances are getting smaller and each point costs a lot.What have you asked the Kings for this market?We all have a spirit of children and I have asked, but I carry it in secret. Hopefully it will come true.What can you say about Etebo?It is not yet one hundred percent closed and until it is done I prefer not to comment.Do you sign the tie?It is a saying and faces the game to win. We’ll see how it develops.Would you trade Mata, Molina or Ángel for Benzema?There is no such possibility. For me my players are the best.

Despite mounting pressure on the Energy Department to finalise a Local Content Policy which would allow Guyanese to benefit from the oil and gas sector, the key piece of legislation is still in consultation phase.Director of Energy, Dr Mark BynoeThis was revealed on Friday during a press conference hosted by the Department of Energy. According to the Director of the Department, Dr Mark Bynoe, he is looking forward to the consultancy phase being completed by June.“The Local Content Policy… draft report is currently with us, and we are looking towards possibly the ending of June for the completion of that consultancy, given the consultations necessary before that policy is finalised,” he explained.The Government’s Energy Department Head had assured that the document would be ready long before first oil, which is now due in a matter of months. This commitment was given more than three years after oil was first discovered off Guyana’s coast by United States oil giant ExxonMobil.During a recent interview with this publication, President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Nicholas Boyer, had said he was not too pleased with the slothful way in which the Local Content Policy is being developed. Moreover, Boyer stated that he would like to see the Policy created before, and not after, first oil.“We would like to see the regulations governing the oil industry in place before first oil, not after. We want to see the regulatory environment that will govern the oil industry in place before first oil, and a regulatory environment that has the buy-in of the nation,” he detailed.The Chamber has long been demanding a Local Content Policy to ensure that locals get their share of the pie from oil and gas revenues.In the most recent call made by the Chamber, its President reminded that a number of drafts for the said policy had been completed, but the locals remain in suspense for the final document.“We were even teased with the fact that the policy would then be followed by legislation; but, to date, we need to see the regulatory environment be put in place to manage the oil industry,” Boyer pointed out.He referred to the fact that first oil is expected as early as this year end, but Government is still dragging its feet on preparation of the legislation.The President of the Chamber acknowledged that he has taken note of some positive steps the Government has made in this regard, but he noted that the business community remains concerned about its involvement in the nascent oil and gas sector.Boyer was keen to note that the GCCI has been engaging policy-makers in this regard. In fact, he explained that several meetings were held with former Business Minister Dominic Gaskin and other agencies tied into the sector, but the GCCI is still waiting to see the fruits of those discussions.He concluded that the Government should work harder to ensure everything is in place before first oil. “On the Government and regulatory side, we need to do more to be able to have our things in place, to be able to take on local content or have local businesses participate in the industry.”The Local Content Policy would guide the State in guarding against local companies being bypassed for contracts and services while foreign companies and workers are favoured.Former Business Minister Dominic Gaskin had said the second review of the Local Content Policy is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2019, as Government wants the new legislation to be ‘balanced’.Government’s position is that a ‘too strongly national’ Local Content Policy could jeopardise the efficiency or viability of the company being relied on to extract the resource.According to the draft Local Content Framework document, the policy seeks to address the suite of opportunities that may arise, and the approaches to be taken in selecting and developing opportunities related to enhancing the capabilities of Guyanese nationals and businesses through training and well-tailored social contributions for greater impact and benefits, among other things.The draft Local Content Policy has been criticised for lacking provisions which would safeguard against exploitation by companies. It had been reported that the document does not cater for issues such as: how to avoid procurement fraud, and conflict of interest and favouritism, among other things.Like the Private Sector, the Opposition People’s Progressive Party has also been blasting Government for its failure to have this key piece of legislation produced.
As would likely be the case in virtually every community in the country, Fort St. John area residents proved on Saturday, there’s nothing like the appearance of a hockey legend to spike the attedance at a trade show.The 37th annual trade show wrapped up last night with a final 3-day attendance total of 11,306. That’s about 200 less than last year but, indications are it could have been much less, had it not been for number nine.Thanks to Western Financial Group Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe, was at the show on Saturday and, better than 50 percent of those who attended, nearly 6,400, turned out on that day.- Advertisement -Trade Show Manager Gene Daniel, also reports that Amy Harper, Laszlo Pinter, Elgin Hunt and Kayden Morris were the major door prize winners.

WEEE Ireland has given Donegal residents and pupils in Raphoe National School in Raphoe an ‘AA grade’ for their battery recycling efforts.The news comes ahead of a final push to reach the EU target of recycling 45% of all batteries sold in Ireland by the end of 2016.WEEE Ireland is the country’s biggest recycling scheme for used batteries. It said that Donegal residents collected 4946 kg of batteries and pupils in Raphoe National School in Raphoe had collected 122 kg of batteries over the past year.WEEE Ireland praised them for their efforts in collecting and recycling batteries.WEEE Ireland CEO Leo Donovan called on people in Donegal and schools in the county to make a final push and collect as many batteries as possible ahead of the deadline at the end of the year.Mr Donovan praised the efforts of Raphoe National School in Raphoe whose pupils collected 122 kg of batteries over the past year as part of the WEEE Pledge Programme. The WEEE Pledge Programme is a free recycling and educational programme designed for schools – more information is available about it at www.weeepledge.ieMr Donovan said that the WEEE Pledge Programme was calling on all schools around the country as well as teachers pupils and parents to recycle as many batteries as possible before the year’s end.“I am especially proud of the great recycling work that residents of Donegal have done as well as the efforts of pupils in Raphoe National School in Raphoe as part of the WEEE Pledge Programme. They are setting a very high standard for other schools to follow.“WEEE Pledge has broadened students’ recycling activity and is inspiring the next generation to be ‘guardians of our planet’. Students (and their families) learn about the importance of being responsible for the environment and how to make a difference in each community” Mr Donovan added.In 2015 over 2,000 primary and secondary schools took part in the WEEE Pledge programme and WEEE Ireland hopes that this number continues to grow. By recycling their batteries under the WEEE Pledge Programme students are also helping to raise much needed funds for LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice. This is the second year that the European Battery Recycling Day is taking place. It is a Europe-wide initiative that sees WEEE Ireland join forces with other recycling schemes under the auspices of the European Association of National Collection Schemes for Batteries (EUCOBAT).Mr Donovan added that generally Irish consumers had adapted well to recycling so much so that they were close to achieving a new European recycling target.He said that Ireland was close to hitting the EU target of recycling 36 million batteries or 45% of the total number of 80 million batteries sold annually here.Raphoe pupils well able to recharge their batteries! was last modified: September 9th, 2016 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:batteriesdonegalRaphoe
