The Guyana Power and Light (GPL) and APAN Energy – the company that supplied 18 used generators from Honduras in 2023 – are currently in legal discussions as the utility company wants to leverage liquidated damages for late delivery of the engines
“The matter is being reviewed by external counsel
London House Chambers at the request of GPL with instructions to claim liquidated damages and compensation for any breach of contract established
London House Chambers have already made contact with APAN’s counsel in pursuance thereof,” Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC told the Sunday Stabroek when asked for an update
During his end of year press conference last week
President Irfaan Ali had informed that he and his Cabinet have said to GPL that once this country pays for a service and delivery and it was not met
He had said that Nandlall was charged with overseeing the process and that action had already commenced
All the issues surrounding what happened are being dealt by the AG
The deal to acquire used generators from Honduras to ease power woes in the approach to Christmas 2023 had been heavily criticised
The Attorney General gave an overview leading up to the stalemate between the two sides over payment
“APAN was contracted to install a 28.9MW HFO Power Generation Plant at Columbia
Mahaicony consisting of 17 generators pursuant to a Turnkey Engineering
Procurement and Construction Agreement dated July 27
Unfortunately the contractor stated that they were unable to meet the contractual time-frame stipulated because of circumstances over which they had no control
including delay in shipping as a result of industrial unrest that affected operations in the Panama Canal,” he said
“Sixteen of the seventeen generators have been installed and are operational
An additional generator is scheduled to come on stream shortly and this will meet the full complement of the contracted generational capacity
The process of a transition from LFO (Light Fuel Oil) to HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) is ongoing and the contractor has undertaken that this process will be completed by the end of March 2025,” he added
Acting Chief Executive Officer of GPL Kesh Nandlall
(the brother of the Attorney General) also told this newspaper that the company was contracted to deliver HFO gensets and had brought in LFO ones which it said would be retrofitted to HFO but that process took longer than the contracted delivery time
He said that the generators were all functional but the issue was the timeframe for delivery
Amid constant blackouts caused by increased electricity consumption and a generator being out for maintenance
GPL procured 17 reconditioned containerized generators from Honduras in 2023 saying it was preparing to ensure continuous power for the 2023 Christmas holiday season
GPL had to seek more generating help via two power ships
Minister within the Ministry of Public Works
at a press conference in November had said that the cause of the then load shedding was due to heightened demand and the 7.8-megawatt engine that was taken off for maintenance at the Kingston location
because we have pulled down that 7.8-megawatt engine at Kingston to do the general overall
it has taken off our reliable capacity by 7.8 megawatts,” the minister disclosed
in terms of all of the engines that we have either at Garden of Eden
together we have the reliable operating capacity of 167 megawatts
we see the peak now reducing,” Indar had told reporters at the press conference
The generators from Honduras had experienced several shipping delays
They were first expected here on November 22nd and then December 5th before finally arriving on December 13th 2023
The Columbia station is in the Mahaicony area and the generators feed into the Demerara/Berbice Inter-connected System (DBIS)
there had been no word that the company and GPL had been in any legal tussle as at April of this year Prime Minister Mark Phillips had said that 17 of the 18 were installed
It was unclear if that meant they were functional

April 27 (Reuters) – The death toll from a powerful explosion at Iran’s biggest port of Bandar Abbas has risen to at least 40
as firefighters worked to fully extinguish the fire

Saturday’s blast took place in the Shahid Rajaee section of the port
shattering windows for several kilometres around
tearing metal strips off shipping containers and badly damaging goods inside
The incident occurred as Iran held a third round of nuclear talks with the United States in Oman
Fires kept breaking out in different parts of the affected area as of Sunday night
with helicopters and fire fighters continuing efforts to extinguish them
Chemicals at the port were suspected to have fuelled the explosion
but the exact cause was not clear and Iran’s Defence Ministry denied international media reports that the blast may be linked to the mishandling of solid fuel used for missiles
A spokesperson for the ministry told state TV the reports were “aligned with enemy psyops”
saying that the blast-hit area did not contain any military cargo
The Associated Press cited British security firm Ambrey as saying the port in March had received sodium perchlorate
which is used to propel ballistic missiles and whose mishandling could have led to the explosion
The Financial Times newspaper reported in January the shipment of two Iranian vessels from China containing enough of the ingredient to propel as many as 260 mid-range missiles
helping Tehran to replenish its stocks following its direct missile attacks on its arch-foe Israel in 2024
Plumes of black smoke rose above the site on Sunday and pieces of twisted metal and debris lay scattered across the blast site
the head of Iran’s Red Crescent Society told state media the fire was 90% extinguished and officials said port activities had resumed in unaffected parts of Shahid Rajaee
A spokesperson for the country’s crisis management organisation appeared on Saturday to blame the explosion on poor storage of chemicals in containers at Shahid Rajaee
adding that earlier warnings had highlighted potential safety risks
Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani cautioned against “premature speculation”
saying final assessments would be shared after investigations
Negligence has often been blamed in a series of deadly incidents that have hit Iranian energy and industrial infrastructure in recent years
“Did we really have to hold the container here for 3-4 months… until we had 120-140 thousand containers stored in this place?”
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said after arriving in Bandar Abbas on Sunday
Incidents in the country have included refinery fires
and an emergency repair incident at Bandar Abbas that killed one worker in 2023
Iran has blamed some other incidents on Israel
which has carried out attacks on Iranian soil targeting Iran’s nuclear programme in recent years and last year bombed the country’s air defences

The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) was among many pro-Palestine organisations around the world that responded positively
to the news of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas
It said on January 16 it welcomed the “long-overdue” ceasefire announcement in Gaza as “a glimmer of hope”
But it warned that Israel must not be allowed to “use this ceasefire as a cover to regroup and continue its genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people”
APAN President Nasser Mashni said: “A ceasefire is not justice — it is a fleeting reprieve that will never undo the profound pain caused by Israel’s genocide
“The ceasefire must not be a smokescreen for complacency
Australia must rise to this moment by cutting all military ties with Israel
imposing sanctions and holding Israeli officials and entities accountable in international courts
“To remain silent in the face of this brutality is to stand on the wrong side of history
It’s time for Australia to stand for justice
Mashni paid tribute to the resilience of Gazans and all Palestinians
saying it is “not just a story of survival
but a call to the world to end its complicity”
APAN called on the Australian government and the international community to ensure this ceasefire is not “merely a temporary pause in Israel’s genocidal violence”
“Australia must commit to addressing the root causes of Israel’s genocide
illegal occupation and apartheid in Palestine
sanctions and mechanisms to ensure accountability and liberation for Palestine
a ceasefire will be little more than a bandage over an open wound.”
APAN said the strength and determination of Gazans and all Palestinians “have served as profound reminders of the power of truth
the depth of human courage and solidarity and the urgent need for justice and liberation”
Even as the ceasefire was being announced
supposed to come into effect on January 19
Israel has intensified its bombing of Gaza City
“The actions of the Israeli government during the past 15 months
including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s relentless attempts to sabotage multiple ceasefire proposals — including a ceasefire proposal containing the same terms of this one — reveal a deliberate strategy to sustain genocide and apartheid under the guise of ‘security’ and ‘self-defence’.”
APAN said such strategies are “unacceptable”
arguing that a ceasefire “must be the beginning of global action to end Israel’s genocidal war”
It is demanding that Labor either implement or support:
The South African Boycott, Divestment and Sanction Coalition (SA BDS Coalition) said it “joins with the people of Gaza in the hope that this will provide respite from over 15 months of the genocidal Israeli regime’s terror against the Palestinian people”
said on January 15 that the “steadfastness of the people of Gaza represent one of the most astonishing examples of collective courage in history”
The SA BDS Coalition also said the “genocide could not have occurred without the political and military support provided by the United States
the US has provided more than US$26 billion in armaments to Israel
“This is [US President Joe] Biden’s legacy — he has blood on his hands.”
Israel’s “unparalleled impunity is what has allowed it to maintain its 76-year-old regime of settler-colonialism and apartheid and emboldened it to unleash the world’s first live streamed genocide”
Most nations today see Israel as a rogue genocidal state that openly defies international law.”
It said a ceasefire “is only the most important first step” to end the genocide
it may constitute a continuation of a less visible form of genocide
that Israel and the US will hope to provoke less global outrage
SA BDS Coalition said without serious accountability
Israel’s mass extermination “experiment” in Gaza “will be a model for an unprecedented might-makes-right era
where powerful colonial states can ‘dispose of’ weaker nations and racialised communities everywhere”
we need effective international solidarity to ensure accountability.”

Towering at 15 feet (4.5 meters) and constructed from cellular plastic and fiberglass cloth
the animal figures were modeled after two of Apelgren’s childhood toys
The artist wanted to make something "kind and childlike" as a nod to renowned toy manufacturer BRIO
which was based in Osby for over 100 years and runs a popular toy museum in town.
While some locals found the colossal animal duo comical and jokingly called it Sweden's modern answer to the Easter Island statues
others thought the large sculptures ruined the scenic lakefront and that they should be moved to a playground instead.
the artwork was eventually set on fire one summer night in 2013
the monkey figure was reduced to ashes and the rabbit figure was scorched
thanks to local businesses and the Municipality of Osby
the animal pair was restored and re-inaugurated two years later.
Located on the edge of Osby Lake, Apan och Kaninen
Complementary parking is available close by
It's also possible to reach the artwork by foot in about 8 minutes from the Osby train station

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
we speak with members and leaders of our APAN (Asian Professionals at Nasdaq) employee resource group (ERG) to learn more about their roles at Nasdaq
about how diversity and inclusion promote greater cultural understanding.
Can you please tell us about your role at Nasdaq
I currently handle Training and Career Development and the Managerial Skills Training under the People Experience Team
What will you hope to take away and bring to the community?
APAN is all about culture sharing and building across locations and nationalities
inclusion and belonging by deepening cross-cultural communications and understanding.
What does Asian culture represent to you?
Asian-American culture is made up of different nationalities
philosophies and societies; it is a rich and diverse culture with many facets and a unique history.
How can groups outside of the APAN network be allies to the Asian community
Groups outside of the network can join the site or join global activities sponsored by APAN
This is to deepen understanding and collaboration between the many Employee Networks within the company.
Who is an Asian-American leader you admire and why
She has made history and serves as a great model for all Asian-Americans
How has your culture shaped how you view leadership and leadership values?
I think our Nasdaq values are universal and translate well to the Asian-American tradition of mutual respect
regardless of your position within the company
How do you feel collaboration within and outside the APAN network supports your personal growth as a leader?
Being a member of APAN has given me the chance to meet and collaborate with people from other locations
regions and nationalities. At the end of the day
we are all human beings who share the desire to make an inclusive and diverse company where everyone feels like they belong.

I manage the tower inventory and creative production for our clients around their visibility efforts for IPO day and beyond

supporting bell ceremonies as well as event experience

I have been at Nasdaq for eleven and a half years and have generally been interested in joining a group like this
I wanted to take on a more active role in this community at Nasdaq and foster relationships and togetherness with my fellow colleagues by creating events and activities that would benefit this group
What is a memorable event or initiative you’ve had part in planning at APAN
we celebrated Lunar New Year at many Nasdaq offices
This was also the first year we expanded from SAPAN (South Asian Professionals at Nasdaq) to APAN (Asian Professionals at Nasdaq)
The event was memorable all around and everyone got to learn a lot about how Lunar New Year is celebrated
There was a lot of food and it was so much fun being around a celebration that brought everyone together
How can groups outside of the APAN network be allies to the Asian community in a time of unrest
Ask your colleagues how they are doing and see if there is anything you can do to help. At times of unrest like this
it’s important to be together and for our colleagues to know that they are supported
Who in the APAN community would you consider a role model and why

Senior Vice President of Regulatory Operations and Head of U.S
Head of Listings Qualifications and Market Surveillance at Nasdaq
about the opportunities which follow from being part of a community and engaging in allyship
MarketWatch and Options Surveillance teams
I am responsible for assessing the qualification of listed companies and continued compliance review with Nasdaq’s comprehensive listing standards
I also manage Nasdaq’s surveillance program over equities and options markets to maintain an orderly marketplace and level playing field for investors
and why did you decide to take on this leadership role
I get to see firsthand the meaningful effects an inclusive and diverse culture can have on developing great Asian talent and how that leads to success for all
and how has it impacted your leadership values
my family moved from the bustling Gangnam District of Seoul
Going from one of the largest cities in the world to a smaller city in the Ozarks with a completely different culture allowed me to look forward to going beyond what I already knew
improving and having a different perspective
especially when I am a newcomer to something
Being in different environments has helped me try new things
as well as helping me understand that there are different traditions
I’m open-minded about learning and expanding on that
Being able to understand others’ perspectives
goals and priorities are important in meaningful and deep collaboration and effectively meeting your mutual mission
The 2023 theme for AAPI Heritage Month is “Advancing Leaders Through Opportunity.” How has opportunity played a part in your own leadership journey
They stem from a combination of individual effort and building relationships through teamwork
and having a positive sum game philosophy – that we all have something to gain through collaboration and finding solutions – are important elements of maximizing opportunities
as well as leading and elevating the whole team
bringing a genuine sense of collaboration to the table is key to success.
one of the 84 proposals created for ‘del territorio al habitante’
a program initiated by the center for research for sustainable development (CIDS)
the project proposes a unit which can adapt to different programmatic and contextual situations
dellekamp schleich‘s prototype is situated in laboratorio de vivenda, a site in apan, tlaxcala, where 32 housing prototypes have been built as part of a master plan created by MOS architects
the purpose of this development is to study social housing and its relationship with a given territory
as a basis for planning and development solutions
located in the territory of nuevo parangaricutiro
dellekamp schleich’s proposal is based on a spatial analysis of how the site has been used by the people that live there
‘the idea was not to define housing prototypes
but rather create replicable processes and procedures
that could be easily adapted to other territories with their own specific conditions,’ explain the architects
the apan prototype comprises a modular construction system in wood
which adopts the basic and familiar principles of vernacular architecture and offers the possibility of adapting to different programmatic and contextual situations
relying on two local resources that are readily available
pine wood and the methods of vernacular construction mentioned above
this project can be assembled in a very simple way
