	Guyana challenge Jamaica in seventh-round encounter - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		While Guyana have a full complement of their West Indies players, Jamaica are missing two through injury, aggressive left-handed opener Christopher Gayle (shoulder) and middle-order batsman Marlon Samuels (wrist).
		After back-to-back wins, Guyana who were previously lingering towards the bottom of the table, are now alongside the Windward Islands on 34 points and are most dangerous when playing on their home turf, especially on pitches such as Albion Community Development ground, where batting requires back-breaking work and bowling demands patience and resolve.
		Guyana's Test batting pair of captain Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan returned to the team for the last round, but neither got to 50 and both will be keen to ensure that local fans have at least a glimpse of their class and run-making capabilities.

		The first Nieuw Amsterdam, as it then was, was situated about fifty-six miles up the Berbice river on the right bank, and before the 1763 uprising, comprised a Court of Policy building, a warehouse, an inn, two smithies, a bakery, a Lutheran church and a number of houses, among other buildings.
		In terms of bye-laws, the little township was a pioneer in several respects; it boasted the first sanitation regulations on record (no privies near the public path, drains to be dug and places kept weeded) and the first price controls in the only hostelry in town.
		What perhaps would enhance it both from the point of view of tourism as well as raising the historical consciousness of young people, would be if a photographic exhibition of New Amsterdam in earlier times were mounted, or some other kind of exercise recalling its past undertaken.

		Using the landscape of Guyana as a backdrop (which is nevertheless intricately interwoven with the narrative), these works draw on the country’s multiethnic heritage as a reservoir for reconciliation and achieving an awareness of the interconnected fates of everyone affected by colonialism.
		In a place as severely affected by colonialism as the Caribbean, such a stance is of particular importance, as it stresses the role of the writer in healing the impacts of colonialism.
		As in the Guyana Quartet, however, there is a "voyage in" which does engage with the overwhelming sense of alienation created by the jungle (and, implicitly, by colonial rule) in a very creative manner.
