The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV
Los Peces Voladores de Salinas derrotaron el viernes 4-0 a los Azucareros de Yabucoa y lograron el único boleto disponible para las semifinales del Béisbol Superior Doble A.
El encuentro decisivo se celebró ante cerca de 3 mil fanáticos, que se dieron cita en el estadio Néstor Morales de Humacao.
Salinas es el único equipo de los cuatro semifinalistas que estará por segundo año consecutivo en la penúltima etapa del torneo. Junto a los Peces Voladores, están clasificados los Toritos de Cayey, los Mets de Guaynabo y los Libertadores de Hormigueros.
Los estelares lanzadores Miguel Fontánez y Yadiel Rolón se encargaron de maniatar la ofensiva de Yabucoa, con apenas tres hits permitidos.
Fontánez fue el ganador con seis entradas lanzadas. Dio paso a tres incogibles, otorgó dos boletos y ponchó a cuatro. Lo salvó Rolón de forma sensacional sin permitir libertades el resto del camino. Ponchó a cuatro de los nueve bateadores que enfrentó.
Los primeros seis episodios del juego fueron protagonizados por un duelo entre Fontánez y el derecho Cristian González, de los Azucareros. La primera carrera del juego llegó en la séptima entrada, producto de un hit dentro del cuadro del emergente Josean Rivera, después de dos outs. En el octavo acto, Salinas añadió dos vueltas y en el noveno sumó su cuarta rayita.
González fue quien cargó con el revés por Yabucoa. En 6.2 episodios le hicieron tres hits, con una carrera.
Listas las semifinales
En la semifinal B, los Peces Voladores enfrentarán a los Mets de Guaynabo desde el 5 de agosto.
Mientras, hoy sábado a las 8:00 de la noche comienza la semifinal A en el estadio Pedro Montañez de Cayey, donde los Toritos recibirán la visita de los Libertadores de Hormigueros. El segundo encuentro será el domingo a las 5:00 de la tarde, en el estadio Hermanos Miura de Hormigueros.

La petrolera colombiana Ecopetrol y la brasileña Petrobras anunciaron este viernes haber descubierto una acumulación de gas natural en el mar Caribe.
Según detallaron las compañías en un comunicado, el nuevo yacimiento de gas fue hallado en “el pozo exploratorio Uchuva-1, perforado en aguas profundas de Colombia, a 32 kilómetros de la costa y a 76 de la ciudad de Santa Marta. La profundidad del agua en el lugar del hallazgo es de aproximadamente 830 metros”.
Las petroleras indican que el pozo Uchuva fue perforado en el bloque Tayrona, en el que la empresa colombiana cuenta con una participación del 55,6 %, mientras que la brasileña tiene el restante 44,4 %.
“Este descubrimiento es muy significativo para Ecopetrol y Colombia porque ratifica la importancia del Caribe como una de las principales fuentes de gas para nuestro país”, declaró el presidente de Ecopetrol, Felipe Bayón, y añadió que se trata de “una gran noticia para las más de 10 millones de familias colombianas que hoy usan el gas en su vida diaria”.
Por su parte, el presidente colombiano, Iván Duque, subrayó que se trata del descubrimiento más importante de los últimos 30 años. “Hoy es una gran noticia para Colombia lo que le estamos dejando: duplicar las reservas de gas de Colombia y hacerlo con este gran descubrimiento”, dijo.
Las empresas seguirán trabajando en el yacimiento para averiguar cuáles son sus reservas de gas.

Corporate: changes for restructuring & liquidation business in Cayman Loop Cayman Islands
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass
The commencement order for the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2021 – legislation that is intended to attract and maintain restructuring and liquidation business in the Cayman Islands – was published today in the Cayman Islands Legislation Gazette. The Act will come into effect on August 31, 2022.
The legislation applies to a company, and any other entity or partnership, that is liable to be wound up under the provisions of Part V of the Companies Act (2022 Revision). Its two main objectives are to separate restructuring from the winding-up regime; and to improve access to both the restructuring and winding-up regimes.
In preparing to commence the restructuring aspects of the Act, Companies Register staff have been briefed on the intent of the law; and trained on the upgraded IT system that will support the new regime.
The amendment originates from proposals made by the Financial Services Legislative Committee (FSLC), which proposes enhancements to the Cayman Islands financial services regime, for Government’s consideration and potential action. Established by Government, FSLC members are representatives from the local financial services industry; and persons appointed by Attorney General, and the Ministry of Financial Services and Commerce.
“I thank the FSLC for their acumen and agility in helping to keep our financial services products attractive and cutting edge. Sincere thanks as well to the full Ministry team, the Companies Registry, and the Insolvency Rules Committee for their diligent efforts and collaborative approach,” said the Minister for Financial Services and Commerce, the Hon. Andr? Ebanks. “Together we continue to improve our financial services industry.”
Restructuring regime: Separation and access
Prior to the amendment, a company that wanted to restructure first needed to apply to the Court to wind up (in other words, liquidate) the company, which may have given the impression that the company was going out of business rather than restructuring. The winding-up application also could have triggered wind-up covenants in finance documents.
For companies that were considering using Cayman’s restructuring regime, this may have been a deterrent and undermined use of the regime. The Act addresses this issue by separating the restructuring regime from the winding-up regime.
The Act also improves access to the restructuring regime by no longer requiring a shareholder resolution, or an express power in the company’s articles of association, before company directors can apply for a restructuring.
Access to the winding-up regime
For all companies existing before the Act’s commencement, the Act equalises access to the winding-up regime by enabling all existing companies to add, in their articles of association, a provision that no longer requires a shareholder resolution or express power to allow company directors to apply for a winding-up.
For companies incorporated after the Act’s commencement, the Act improves access to the winding-up regime by no longer requiring a shareholder resolution, or an express power to be added in the company’s articles of association, before company directors can apply for a winding-up. However, a company still may choose to include these provisions in their articles of association, to govern the process that company directors are to follow for winding-up.
To support the Act, the Insolvency Rules Committee, chaired by the Chief Justice, the Hon. Anthony Smellie, QC, has prepared amendments to the Companies Winding Up Rules, 2018. These amendments, which do not need Parliamentary process, are intended to come into force simultaneously with the Act.
Parliament passed the Act on December 8, 2021. His Excellency the Governor gave his assent on December 15, 2021, and the Act was gazetted on December 16, 2021.

DEH concludes food hygiene training Loop Cayman Islands
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass
Over 400 personnel in the food industry have been certified by the Department of Environmental Health (DEH) since the resumption of the Basic Food Handlers’ training in May this year.
DEH announced the temporary suspension of this training back in September 2021 as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community and in accordance with the regulations at the time.
According to the DEH Director, Mr. Richard Simms, this is a great achievement from members of the Department’s Environmental Health Section. “I’m very proud of the team involved and the special arrangements made to accommodate this massive exercise which brings to an end the first cycle of our Food Hygiene Training programme. Our Environmental Health Officers are moving now to focus on the annual inspections of Liquor licensed establishments. They will also be performing inspections of tourist accommodation facilities as is customary at this time of the year,” said Mr. Simms.
The Food Hygiene training sessions will resume in September. Operators of Food Businesses are reminded that DEH requires all personnel handling food to be trained. All new personnel working in the food industry and anyone wishing to continue as food handlers after expiry must renew their certification are encouraged to register for these important workshops. A registration cost of $15 per person covers all materials and fees and should be paid at DEH headquarters, located at 580 North Sound Road, between 8:30 am and 5:00pm, Monday to Friday.
For additional information or to register for the upcoming training, please contact the DEH at 949-6696, email DEH at dehcustomerservice@gov.ky, visit the DEH’s website at www.deh.gov.ky or message DEH’s Facebook page at https://bit.ly/3LEK55q

T&T utility company to dismiss more than 200 managers
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room
The Trinidad & Tobago Cabinet mandated the board of the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) to immediately begin the execution of a transformation plan, which will start with the cutting of 213 members of the executive team, followed by cuts in an unknown number of staff. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP FOR NEWS UPDATES.
Minister of Public Utilities, Marvin Gonzales said the Cabinet approved the transformation plan during a meeting on Thursday.
WASA has 426 executive managers and the intention is to cut it by 50 per cent.
According to Gonzales, the cutting of other staff will not be done without discussions with the collective bargaining units.
He was, however, reluctant to give a number or percentage for staff cuts saying he did not want to prejudice the discussions between the board and the unions.
WASA currently employs close to 5,000 workers.
Gonzales said there is recognition that WASA is over-staffed and that voluntary separation agreements are likely to be part of the discussions.
He said the drive is towards the employment of new technology that will ensure better efficiency, and it will open up opportunities for people to be re-skilled and re-tooled, and for young people, in particular, to benefit from new jobs.
Speaking during a news conference, Gonzales said that WASA will take on a new structure that will include five service areas with five managers directly reporting to the chief executive officer. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP FOR NEWS UPDATES.
He said the level of management must be reduced to ensure WASA runs more efficiently, and it is not caught up in too much red tape, and the structure will ensure that they can quickly address matters to ensure citizens are adequately and reliably served.
Gonzales added that leaks are now being tracked and pipelines with high burst propensities are earmarked for replacement, noting that this will reduce the “decimation of newly paved roads” done to fix leaks when heavy equipment are used over aged pipelines.
The minister said the new model will be more business-oriented with the customer being the main focus.
