IRVING, Texas – ExxonMobil today announced two discoveries at the Sailfin-1 and Yarrow-1 wells in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana, adding to its extensive portfolio of development opportunities. ExxonMobil has made more than 30 discoveries on the block since 2015, and it has ramped up offshore development and production at a pace that far exceeds the industry average. 

“Our unrivaled exploration success and accelerated pace of development in Guyana are a testament to our people, decades of experience, technology capabilities and steadfast focus on optimizing all aspects of operations,” said Liam Mallon, president of ExxonMobil Upstream Company. “We are committed to responsibly and safely developing this world-class resource to help meet global demand for secure, reliable and lower-emission energy. Our investments through the pandemic have allowed us to increase supply at this critical time, while creating value for the people of Guyana, our partners and shareholders.” 

The Sailfin-1 well encountered approximately 312 feet (95 meters) of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone and was drilled in 4,616 feet (1,407 meters) of water. The Yarrow-1 well encountered approximately 75 feet (23 meters) of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone and was drilled in 3,560 feet (1,085 meters) of water. Both wells were drilled by the Stena Carron drillship.

ExxonMobil’s first two sanctioned offshore Guyana projects, Liza Phase 1 and Liza Phase 2, achieved an average of nearly 360,000 barrels of oil per day in the third quarter. A third project, Payara, is expected to start-up by the end of 2023, and a fourth project, Yellowtail, is expected to start-up in 2025. ExxonMobil is currently pursuing environmental authorization for a fifth project, Uaru. By the end of the decade, ExxonMobil expects Guyana’s oil production capacity to be more than one million barrels a day.

Guyana’s Stabroek block is 6.6 million acres (26,800 square kilometers). ExxonMobil affiliate Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited is the operator and holds 45% interest in the block. Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds 30% interest, and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited holds 25% interest.

Caribbean Entrepreneur Makes Inc 5000 List Of Fastest Growing Businesses In The USA 

Black Immigrant Daily News

BY NAN News Writer

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Weds. Oct. 26, 2022: Starting a cleaning service is not an unusual choice for Caribbean immigrants who have migrated to the US, but Caribbean entrepreneur Ingrid Murray has broken through many glass ceilings and surpassed the scope of possibilities for minorities in the industry.

In August, the Jamaican immigrant landed on the coveted Inc 5000 list for her New York-based business, Prospect Cleaning Service – a multi-million dollar building and maintenance services company that serves New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. 

This year, Prospect Cleaning Service made the top segment of Inc magazine’s exclusive annual list of the 5000 fastest growing, private companies in the US. The business sits at number 1001, with a noteworthy 651 percent growth over the past three years. 

Prospect Cleaning Service’s biggest growth period happened during the pandemic. After losing 90 percent of its clients at the beginning of March 2020, Murray found herself forced to look for a job.

“The day of my first interview, I was depressed. I was crying uncontrollably. I felt like a failure,” Murray recalls. “I was so upset, I ended up missing the interview.”

Serendipitously however, that day Murray received a call from the Metro Transit Authority, (MTA). That call would become a seven-figure contract – her biggest one to date. Over the course of the pandemic Murray and her team worked tirelessly cleaning massive subway stations across New York, including the largest train station in the US, Grand Central Terminal. 

Murray grew up humbly between the Duhaney Park and Hellshire communities in Jamaica. She has experienced many obstacles and setbacks, including sexual and emotional abuse, depression, abandonment, burnout, her child being kidnapped, her husband’s current battle with stage four brain cancer, and many other tremendous challenges. Despite it all, Murray says she has always been determined to achieve her vision of success for herself and her family. 

“I grew up praying, having faith and believing in God,” Murray notes. “I have the discernment to live for God, and I know that will be recuperated. I believe if you ask, you will receive, and if you seek, you will find.”

She also has a strong conviction in hard work and helping others as much as she can. Every year Murray hosts three major, self-funded give back initiatives in her past community of Hellshire, Jamaica, providing various forms of assistance for students, seniors and residents in need.

*Casi ningun pashent cu tin problema di retina ta bay afo mas

*Ya caba ta buscando un di dos specialista di retina

 ORANJESTAD (AAN):  Director di Instituto Medico San Nicolas (ImSan), Dr. Joel Rajnherc a duna di conoce cu un di e cosnan cu semper a bisa cu mester haci ta busca manera di reduci e cantidad di pashent cu ta bay afo pa tur sorto di malesa relativamente menos grave cu por wordo trata tambe riba un isla chikito manera Aruba.

            El a bisa cu den e departamento di wowo tabata tin hopi caso cu ta bay afo y cu si tin specialista y e ekipo adecua por haci’e cu hopi facilidad na Aruba. Esey tabata, basicamente, e vision for di e comienso.

            Na comienso tabata tin 1,5 doctor di wowo na ImSan. Awor despues di 10 aña tin 5 doctor di wowo trahando pa ImSan henter dia. Tin D. Jacobs cu ta traha hunto cu nan y ta un orguyo, a bisa, di wak con 6 specialista di wowo ta traha hunto. Cinco aña pasa, Dr. Rajnherc no lo a kere esaki.

            Dr. Rajnherc a splica cu casi ningun pashent cu tin problema di retina ta bay afo mas. Antes tabata alomenos 80 pashent anualmente cu lo mester a bay Colombia. Awor tin mas cu 160 pashent na Aruba mes y ya caba ta buscando un di dos specialista di retina na Aruba.

            Tin un specialista di glaucoma y niun di e pashentnan ey ta bay afo mas tampoco. Esey no solamente ta spaar hopi placa pa Aruba, pero ta duna e pashent e beneficio cu e ta wordo trata den su mesun famia. ‘Eigenlijk esey ta mitad di bo recuperacion caba cu bo lo mester, e apoyo di bo famia”, a bisa.

            Dr. Rajnherc a laga sa cu e ta hopi orguyoso y tin hopi mas pa haci ainda. Ta bezig trahando riba e ‘business case’ pa e desaroyo bay mas leu ainda, cu ta menos pashent atrobe cu no tin cu manda afo. “Petje af pa e grupo di specialista, pero no solamente pa e grupo di specialista. Tur nan onderstuining personeel manera e optometristanan. Pero tambe e secretarianan, telefonista (…)”.

            E medico a laga sa cu na Aruba tin hopi pashent di wowo. Mas di loke por maneha ye problema ta cu e prome linea di cuido ainda no ta suficientemente profesionalisa pa por duna un gran apoyo. Esaki ta biniendo, pero no ta unda e mester ta ainda, a remarca.

E problema grandi na Aruba no ta cu prijsnan ta keda subi, pero cu e salarionan no ta subi den forma paralelo

Diego de Cuba di Sindicato STA:

*Trahadornan contento lo produci mas hopi 

ORANJESTAD (AAN):   Diego de Cuba, Presidente di Sindicato STA a trece dilanti cu hopi biaha e problema grandi na Aruba no ta cu e prijsnan ta keda subi. “Loke ta pasa ta cu e salarionan no ta keda subi paralelo cu e prijsnan. Eynan ta caminda cu e clase trahador ta haya su mes den problema”.

            E clase trahador ta e consumidor y e ta esun cu ta genera placa mediante su salario cu e ta cobra pa luna of quincena. Pero si tur cos keda subi, anto salario ta keda eybao, e ta bay confronta su mes cu problema, de Cuba a enfatisa .

            E ta di opinion cu mester studia un sistema caminda cu por ehempel, un compania cu 25 trahador, coy 5 salario di 5 trahador cu tin cu manda nan cas cu un pakete of hinca nan otro caminda y haci e compania mas productivo, pero subi e salarionan di e resto di trahadornan.

            Ta bay haya kisas un situacion caminda e trahadornan ta bay traha mas duro,  nan ta bira mas productivo, pero nan tin mas entrada. “Pasobra si bo tin 50 trahador cu minimumloon, anto en bes di 50 trahador cu minimumloon bo tin 40 trahador cu un entrada di 3 mil florin pa luna, e trahadornan ey ta traha mas contento y nan lo produci mas hopi”, a expresa.

              Tur compania mester studia esaki, pero no ta cuestion di manda hende cas ya cu esey no ta prudente tampoco. Mester ta algo cu mester wordo studia, principalmente di parti di Departamento di Labor den e direccion aki. Controlnan cu mester wordo hiba riba e pais aki, lamentablemente mester bisa cu “e ta co’i yora”.

            E asunto aki a wordo treci dilanti no un biaha, pero varios biaha, Diego de Cuba a declara.

Segun Marco Berlis:

ORANJESTAD (AAN); Diabierna mainta Secretaria di Estado señora Alexandra van Huffelen a comparti e grato noticia cu Aruba no ta haya un aanwijzing di RMR. Esaki ta pasobra cu gobierno a adapta e presupuesto 2022 suficiente na e normanan di RMR cu e mester a cumpli cu ne, y asina señora Van Huffelen a elogia e esfuerso di gobierno y su profesionalnan cu nan ta riba e bon caminda.

   Segun Marco Berlis, parlamentario di MEP, ta importante pa Aruba yega na un finanzas y economia sano y cu e por paga su debe y haci inversionan atrobe den e pais. Esaki ta e enfoke di Hulanda, pero tambe di gobierno cu a bin hereda un megadebe cu tabata casi na 90% di nos GDP, sin conta proyectonan PPP aden.

   Cu e decision aki di no duna gobierno un aanwijzing, un etapa nobo ta cuminsa. Un etapa unda cu nos fraccion di MEP a demostra curashi ora di mester a tuma decisionnan y un postura fuerte ora cu mester a trata e tema di 5% back pa ambtenaarnan y tambe e ley di LNT, cu nos fraccion a amendeer.

   Oposicion tabata categoricamente encontra di esaki y a vota CONTRA ambos, e 5% back pe ambtenaarnan y nan tabata kier a pasa e LNT manera e tabata. Dowers a hasta chercha nos fraccion cu e ley di LNT lo bin back y cu nos lo mester pasa esun original.

   Aki bo ta wak cu e ta tuma vision y curashi pa tuma decisionnan cu ta beneficia pueblo. Como representante di pueblo bo mester ta profesional suficiente y alavez tribi di keda na mesa, dialoga, studia posibilidadnan, haci investigacion y esfuerso necesario pa bringa pa pueblo. Hasta si esaki ta contra di e boluntad di Hulanda.

   Tambe mi a expresa na varios ocasion cu nos como Parlamento mester para pa nos pensamentonan y ideanan, y lucha pa nos pueblo, hasta si Hulanda no ta di acuerdo cu algun di e puntonan. Mi ta kere den keda dialoga, para pa loke ta corecto y husto, tin un postura positivo na tur momento cu Hulanda, y asina tambe ta alcansa nos metanan colectivamente. No tur ora nos lo por topa otro, pero como representantenan di pueblo nos mester pone nos pueblo prome. Oposicion no ta dispuesto pa haci esey y ta keda pusha pa aanwijzing, dobla pa tur loke CAft kier sin tene pueblo na cuenta. Sin tene cuenta cu empleadonan di Serlimar, sin tene cuenta cu RWZI, sin tene cuenta cu e homber chikito, y sin tene cuenta cu nan mes, esta Marisol y Mike Eman a aproba y maneha nos pais como ex-premier y ex-voorzitter di Staten y a hiba nos pais den e crisis mas financiero mas grandi den historia di nos pais. Awe Marisol ta haci manera e no sa di nada y no tin culpa, pasobra e ta lider di un Partido nobo. Marisol, bo man y bo actonan ta mes sushi cu esun di Mike Eman! Ambos di boso a zorg pa CAft yega Aruba, ambos a causa y aproba e megadebe y awor boso ta elogia y kier apoya tur punto di CAft cu boso mes a bringa na 2015?

   Cu e declaracion di señora Alexandra van Huffelen, Secretario di Estado di Hulanda, nos pueblo por finalmente wak cu Hulanda ta aproba e maneho di gabinete Wever-Croes-II, ta elogia su progreso y su resilencia. For di akinan un pabien grandi pa minister señora Xiomara Maduro y tur su profesionalnan, minister President señora Evelyn Wever-Croes y henter gabinete! Ban pa mas, pasobra nos no a yega ainda unda nos mester ta!

Les engagements climat “très loin” de répondre à l’objectif de 1,5°C, alerte l’ONU

Les derniers engagements climatiques internationaux en date sont “très loin” de répondre à l’objectif de l’accord de Paris de limiter le réchauffement climatique à 1,5°C, a alerté mercredi l’agence de l’ONU pour le climat.

“Nous sommes très loin du niveau et de la rapidité de réduction d’émissions nécessaires pour nous mettre sur la voie d’un monde à 1,5°C”, a averti Simon Stiell, patron de l’ONU Climat, à l’occasion de la publication d’une synthèse des derniers engagements des pays signataires de l’accord de Paris et à moins de deux semaines de l’ouverture de la conférence mondial climatique COP27.

Au contraire, la somme des engagements des 193 parties à l’accord, “pourrait mettre le monde sur la voie d’un réchauffement de 2,5°C d’ici la fin du siècle,” souligne l’agence onusienne.

L’accord de Paris de 2015 fixe l’objectif de contenir le réchauffement de la planète “nettement en dessous de 2°C par rapport aux niveaux préindustriels”, quand l’humanité a commencé à exploiter à grande échelle les énergies fossiles responsables des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, et si possible à 1,5°C.

Lors de la dernière COP26 en 2021 à Glasgow, les signataires de l’accord s’étaient engagés à réviser annuellement – au lieu de tous les cinq ans – leurs engagements en matière de lutte contre les émissions, appelés “contribution déterminée au niveau national” (NDC).

Mais seuls 24 pays avaient soumis des NDC nouvelles ou révisées à la date limite du 23 septembre, à temps pour être prises en compte lors de la COP27 qui se tiendra du 6 au 18 novembre à Charm el-Cheikh en Egypte. Un chiffre “décevant”, relève M. Stiell dans un communiqué accompagnant la publication des nouvelles données.

“Pour maintenir cet objectif (de 1,5°C) en vie les gouvernement doivent renforcer leurs plans maintenant et les mettre en oeuvre dans les huit prochaines années”, insiste le responsable onusien.

Selon les experts de l’ONU, les émissions mondiales doivent baisser de 45% d’ici 2030, par rapport aux niveaux de 2010, pour tenir cet objectif.

Mais selon la dernière synthèse des NDC, les engagements actuels mèneraient au contraire à une augmentation de 10,6% des émissions sur cette période.

Le skipper canadien Mike Birch, vainqueur de la première édition de la Route du Rhum, est décédé mercredi à son domicile de Brec’h (Morbihan) à l’âge de 90 ans, a-t-on appris auprès de sa famille.

“Il était diminué depuis plusieurs mois. Il est mort tout doucement cette nuit dans son sommeil”, a déclaré à l’AFP France Birch, épouse du marin depuis 40 ans.

“C’était un homme extraordinaire. Il était extrêmement discret et simple. Il a conservé cette simplicité jusqu’au bout”, a dit à l’AFP sa nièce, l’avocate Aline Simard.

Mike Birch est entré dans l’histoire de la voile à l’âge de 47 ans en gagnant la première Route du Rhum en 1978, course transatlantique en solitaire ralliant tous les quatre ans Saint-Malo (Ille et Vilaine)

à Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe).

À bord d’un petit multicoque jaune de 12 m (Olympus), le Canadien avait coiffé sur le fil le puissant monocoque du Français Michel Malinovsky pour l’emporter avec 98 secondes d’avance seulement, après plus de 23 jours de course.

PAHO Official Warns Of Polio Risk In The Americas – St. Lucia Times News

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: St. Lucia Times News

A senior Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) official has warned about the polio risk in the rest of the Americas after a recent vaccine-derived poliovirus case in the United States.

Regarding whether the rest of the Americas should be worried, PAHO’s Immunisation Chief, Dr. Daniel Salas, responded in the affirmative.

“The risk of polio reintroduction is real,” Salas declared in the transcript of an interview on PAHO’s official website to mark World Polio Day on Monday.

“We are concerned because millions of children are unvaccinated,” the PAHO official explained.

He disclosed that millions more are under-vaccinated, creating an opportunity for the virus.

According to Salas, the ‘pocket’ of unvaccinated children has been growing in the past few years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when polio vaccination coverage decreased even further.

“We now have a regional coverage of polio of 79% when we should have 95% or more to avoid outbreaks,” Salas observed.

He explained that as a result, many more children are susceptible to polio infection.

At the same time, Salas noted that surveillance systems have declined in quality, jeopardising the timely detection of cases.

He observed that polio causes irreversible, permanent muscular paralysis.

Nevertheless, Salas noted that a complete vaccination schedule could prevent the disease.

The Americas region was declared polio-free in 1994, eliminating wild poliovirus transmission.

But recently, an unvaccinated 20-year-old man in the United States presented with vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV).

PAHO describes VDPV as a strain related to the weakened poliovirus in the oral polio vaccine.

According to the organisation, on rare occasions, when replicating in the gastrointestinal tract, the strain may spread in communities that do not have full vaccination coverage against polio.
