By Abena Rockcliffe After several months of enduring much hassle as he persistently tried to receive his pension from National Insurance Scheme (NIS), Fazil Khan, was then told that he is dead and therefore can’t receive his pension.Fazil KhanKhan told Kaieteur News that he paid his NIS contribution up to last September when he turned 60.Since then he has been checking from time to time only to be greeted each time with the same phrase, “It’s not ready yet.”Three weeks ago, much to his surprise, Khan was finally told that his pension has been approved and all that was left was for him to collect his book.However, when he returned to NIS on Friday last to do so, Khan said that he was told that he would no longer be granted his book because he was dead.Even though Khan presented himself and the relevant documents, an employee at NIS argued that the pensioner was dead.Khan said that he asked, “How me dead when I standing right here. You telling me you seeing ghost?” He said that he was told that that was being rude.Eventually he was sent to the Pension officer who asked to inspect his documents. After the inspection, the officer told Khan that she would look into his matter and advised him to return in two weeks.Khan, however, sought advice and was told that he should follow up the matter closely. Therefore, the supposedly dead man returned to NIS office “bright and early” yesterday morning. This time he was told that he was no longer dead.Khan who then felt like he had risen from the dead,Jerseys Wholesale, was told that there was a man who had his identity and that that man is now dead. Apparently that is where the mix up occurred.According to Khan, NIS is claiming that the dead Fazil Khan had the same parents as the one who is now fighting for his pension. The deceased Khan also had the same NIS number, the same identification card number and “dem tell me he probably worked the same place.”Khan told Kaieteur News that he was then told that he now has to wait until NIS can verify his contributions.He said that he has an ominous feeling that “they gon give all me contribution to dis man who dem claim dead.”Khan said that he fails to understand how this situation exists when he was self employed since 2010.“Since 2010 me self employed and I had to pay them NIS every month still. At that time I get put on a different plan and I had to start paying dem more. In that time dem nah see de problem? Only now dem gon wait like Columbus to verify who get wrong and right contribution?”Khan went on to say that he was listening to the pension officer and what struck him was when she said ‘dead man tells no tale.’He said, “Is then I realize that is pull I getting pull, cause now de man nah deh round to say nothing dem gon give he everything.”The pensioner said that he asked to be told when the man with his identity died “but dem nah want tell me, cause I want to ask them if dem did nah see a dead man paying NIS up to last September.”Khan told Kaieteur News that he no longer works and is depending on his pension to aid in his survival.作者: fuxue4g59 時間: 2018-9-8 06:48 標題: Dame 1965Vans Slippers MenVans Men
ht and left of us the spindle split into scores of fissures. Between these fissures the Metal Things that made up each now dissociate and shapeless mass geysered; block and sphere and tetrahedron spike spun and swirled. There was an instant of formlessness.
Then right and left of us stood scores of giant, grotesque warriors. Their crests were fully fifty feet below our living platform. They stood upon six immense, columnar stilts. These sextuple legs supported a hundred feet above their bases a huge and globular body formed of clusters of the spheres. Out from each of these bodies that were at Unisex one and the same time trunks and heads, sprang half a score of colossal arms shaped like flails; like spike-studded girders, Titanic battle maces, Cyclopean sledges.
From legs and trunks and arms the tiny eyes of the Metal Hordes flashed, exulting.
There came from them, Women Bomber Jackets from the Thing we rode as well, a chorus of thin and eager wailings and pulsed through all that battle-line, a jubilant throbbing.
Then with a rhythmic, JOCUND stride they leaped upon the city.
Under the mallets of the smiting Men Phone arms the inner battlements fell as under the hammers of a thousand metal Thors. Over their fragments and the armored men who fell with them strode the Things, grinding stone and man together as we passed.
All of the terraced city except the side hidden by the mount lay open to my gaze. In that brief moment of pause I saw crazed crowds battling in narrow Converse Low Tops streets, trampling over mounds of the fallen, surging over Converse Classic All Star barricades of bodies, clawing and tearing at each other in their flight.
There was a wide, stepped street of gleaming white stone that climbed like an immense stairway straight up the slope to that broad plaza at the top where clustered the great temples and palaces — the Acropolis of the city. Into it the streets of the terraces flowed, each pouring out upon it a living torrent, tumultuous with tuliped, sparkling little waves, the gay coverings and the arms and armor of Ruszark’s desperate thousands seeking safety at the shrines of their gods.
Here great carven arches arose; there slender, exquisite towers capped with red Adidas D Rose 6 gold — there was a street of colossal statues, another over which dozens of graceful, fretted bridges threw their spans from feathery billows of flowering trees; there were gardens gay with blossoms in which fountains sparkled, green groves; thousands upon thousands of bright multicolored pennants, banners, fluttered.
A fair, a Women Blouses lovely city was Cherkis’s stronghold Vans Tops Women of Ruszark.
Its beauty filled the eyes; out from it streamed the fragrance of its gardens — the voice of Męskie Vans its agony was that of the souls in Dis.
The row of destroying shapes lengthened, each huge warrior of metal drawing far apart from Converse High Tops its mates. They flexed Vans Plimsolls Shoes Men their manifold arms, shadow boxed — grotesquely, dreadfully.
Down struck the flails, the sledges. Beneath the blows the buildings burst like eggshells, their fragments burying the throngs fighting for escape in the Women Straight-Leg Jeans thoroughfares that threaded them. Overlinks:
with it, and tewwards that end we ask you to favour us with the names of two or three old residents in the village of Lanrean. As I am taking out my pocket-book and pencil to put the names down, I may as well observe to you that this, wrote atop of the first page here, is my name and address: ‘Silas Jonas Jorgan, Salem, Massachusetts, United States.’ If ever you take it in your head Menn to run over any morning, I shall be glad to welcome you. Now, what may be the spelling of these said names?”
“There was an elderly man,” said Tregarthen, “named David Polreath. He may be dead.”
“Wa’al,” said the captain, cheerfully, “if Polreath’s dead and buried, Menn Adidas Shirts and can be made of any service to us, Polreath won’t object to our digging of him up. Converse Jack Purcell Polreath’s down, anyhow.”
“There was Women Skinny Jeans another named Penrewen. I don’t know his Christian name.”
“Never mind his Chris’en name,” said the captain; “Penrewen, for short.”
“There was another named John Tredgear.”
“And a pleasant-sounding name, too,” said the captain; “John Tredgear’s booked.”
“I can recall no other except old Parvis.”
“One of old Parvis’s fam’ly I reckon,” said the captain, “kept a dry-goods store in New York city, and realised a handsome competency by burning his house to ashes. Same name, anyhow. David Polreath, Unchris’en Penrewen, John Tredgear, and old Arson Parvis.”
“I cannot recall any others at the moment.”
“Thank’ee,” said the captain. “And so, Tregarthen, hoping for your good opinion yet, and likewise for the fair Devonshire Flower’s, your daughter’s, I give you my hand, sir, and wish you good day.”
Young Raybrock accompanied him disconsolately; for there was no Off-White Men Trainers Kitty at the window when he looked up, no Kitty in the garden when he shut the gate, no Kitty gazing after them along the stony ways when they begin to climb back.
“Now I tell you what,” said the captain. “Not being at present calculated to promote harmony in your family, I won’t come in. You go and get your dinner at home, and I’ll get mine at the little hotel. Let our hour of meeting be two o’clock, and you’ll find me smoking a cigar in the sun afore the hotel door. Tell Tom Pettifer, my steward, to consider himself on duty, and to look after your people till we come back; you’ll find he’ll have made himself useful Men Backpacks to ’em already, and will be quite acceptable.”
All was done as Captain Jorgan directed. Punctually at two o’clock the young fisherman appeared with his knapsack at his back; and punctually at two o’clock the captain jerked away the Damskie Vans Slip-On last feather- end of his cigar.
“Let me carry your baggage, Captain Jorgan; I can easily take it with mine.”
“Thank’ee,” said the captain. “I’ll carry it myself. It’s only a comb.”
They climbed Buty Balenciaga out Men Wallets & Cardholders of the village, and paused among the trees and fern on Dame Adidas Sports Bras the summit of the hill above, to take breath, and to look down Męskie Vans LXVI Variable at the beautiful sea. Suddenly the captain gave his leg a resounding slap, and cried, “Never knew Dame Adidas Shirts&Tanks such a links:

‘Or of Baxter’s Sermons?’ she Męskie Vans LXVI Variable asked.
‘I have not read them.’
‘Of Bull’s “Spirit Cordial,” then?’
‘I have not read it.’
Mistress Ruth Timewell stared at him in undisguised wonder. ‘You may think me ill-bred to say it, sir,’ she remarked, ‘but I cannot but marvel where you have been, or what you have done all your life. Why, the very children in the street have read these books.’
‘In truth, such works come little in our way in London,’ Men Bomber Jackets Sir Gervas answered. ‘A play of George Etherege’s, or a jingle of Sir John Suckling’s is lighter, though mayhap less wholesome food for the mind. A Menn Adidas Pants&Tights man in London may keep pace with the world of letters without much reading, for what with the Adidas NMD Runner gossip of the coffee-houses and Men Biker Jackets the news-letters that fall in his way, and the Men Backpacks babble of poets or wits at the assemblies, with mayhap an evening or two in the week at the playhouse, with Vanbrugh Dame or Farquhar, one can never part company for long with the muses. Then, after the play, if a man is in no Menn humour for a turn of luck at the green table at the Groom Porter’s, he may stroll down to the Męskie Vans Zero Lo Coca Tree if he be a Tory, or to St. James’s if he be a Whig, and it is ten to one if the talk turn not upon the turning of alcaics, or the contest between blank verse or rhyme. Then one may, after an arriere supper, drop into Will’s or Slaughter’s and find Old John, with Tickell and Congreve and the rest of them, hard at work on the dramatic unities, or poetical justice, or some such matter. I confess that my own tastes lay little in that line, for about that hour I was likely to be worse employed with wine-flask, dice-box, or —’
‘Hem! hem!’ cried I warningly, for several of the Puritans were listening with faces which expressed anything but approval.
‘What you say of London is of much interest to me,’ said the Puritan maiden, ‘though these names and places have little meaning to my ignorant ears. You did speak, however, of the playhouse. Surely no worthy man goes near those sinks of iniquity, the Adidas Ultra Boost baited traps of the Evil One? Has not the good and sanctified Master Bull declared from the pulpit that they are the gathering-place of the froward, the chosen haunts of the perverse Assyrians, as dangerous to the soul as any of those Papal steeple-houses wherein the creature is sacrilegiously confounded with the Creator?’
‘Well and truly spoken, Mistress Timewell,’ cried the lean young Puritan Off-White Men Boots upon the right, who had been an attentive listener to the whole conversation. ‘There is more evil in such houses than even in the cities of the plain. I doubt not that the wrath of the Lord will descend upon them, and Women Wallets & Purses destroy them, and wreck them utterly, together with the dissolute men and abandoned women who frequent them.’
‘Your strong opinions, friend,’ said Sir Gervas quietly, ‘are borne out doubtless by your full knowledge of the subject. How often, prythee, have you been in these playhouses links:

Ah! old stanch friend, with your deep, clear eyes and bright, quickglances, that take in all one has to say before one has time to speakit, do Adidas Xeno Shoes you know you are only an animal and have no mind? Do you knowthat that dull-eyed, gin-sodden lout leaning against the post outthere is immeasurably your intellectual superior? Do you know thatevery little-minded, selfish scoundrel who lives by cheating andtricking, who never did a gentle deed or said a kind word, who neverhad a thought that was not mean and low or a desire that was not base,whose every action is a fraud, whose every utterance is a lie--do youknow that these crawling skulks (and there are millions of them in theworld), do you know they are all as much superior to you as the sun Męskie Vans LXVI Variable issuperior to rushlight you honorable, brave-hearted, unselfish brute?

Yes, poor doggie, you are very stupid, very stupid indeed, comparedwith us clever men, who understand all about politics and philosophy,and who know everything, in short, except what we are and where wecame from and whither we are going, and what everything outside thistiny world and most things in it are.
Never mind, though, pussy and doggie, we like you both all the betterfor your being stupid. We all like stupid things. Men can't bearclever women, and a Dame Adidas Sweatshirts woman's ideal man is some one she can call a "dearold stupid." It is Men Jumpers so pleasant to come across people more stupid thanourselves. We love them at once for being so. The world must berather a rough place for clever people. Ordinary folk dislike them,and as Męskie Vans Rata Vulc for themselves, they hate each other most cordially.
But there, the clever people are such a very insignificant minoritythat it really doesn't much matter if they are unhappy. So long asthe foolish people can be made comfortable the world, as a whole, willget on tolerably Men Phone well.
Cats have the credit of being more worldly wise Converse Low Tops than dogs--of lookingmore after their own interests and being less blindly devoted to thoseof their friends. And we men and women are naturally shocked at suchselfishness. Cats certainly do love a family that has a carpet in thekitchen more than a family that has not; and if there are manychildren about, they prefer to spend their leisure time next door.
But, taken altogether, cats are libeled. Make a friend of links:
