From Ralph SeeramAs I am writing this article the world price of oil has jumped to US$100per barrel, the highest price in two years. Oil has increased by 14 percent in the past week. No doubt this is due to the present wave of protests in the Arab and other oil producing countries. These increases have a serious impact on the economies of oil dependent countries like Guyana.Last weekend the Guyanese American Cultural Association of Central Florida celebrated Guyana’s 41st anniversary as a Republic with a Ball at the prestigious Ballroom at Church Street Station in Orlando, Florida.The association had as its guest speaker, international renowned energy expert, Guyana-born Dr. Vincent Adams. According to the Association Journal biography, Dr Adams is a member of the Senior Executive Services corps of the United States Government. SES is the highest level of career professionals in the Unites States Government.Dr Adams has been appointed Site Manager for the clean up of one of U.S. largest nuclear weapons complex. The site which has a budget of US$13 billion also has a security mission of developing next generation uranium enrichment technologies as well as converting the site to an industrial complex.This outstanding Guyanese is a consultant to the United Nations Atomic Energy Agency; Chairman of the second International Conference on Land Remediation held in Kazakhstan attended by over fifty countries, Chairman of the Fifth International Conference on the Recycle of Radio Active Materials held in Germany; and Chairman of the Southern Section of the Air and Waste Management Association the pre-eminent environmental engineering professional organisation with over 9,000 members in 65 countries.Dr Adams, who holds a BS, two MS and a PhD in multiple engineering disciplines, has made many contributions to science and engineering including developing pioneering engineering technologies to more efficiently extract oil from the earth, transformation nuclear weapon technologies into applications for medicines, pollution prevention and alternative energy.Are we not proud of this outstanding Guyanese who had his humble beginnings from Christianburg, Demerara River?I went at length to emphasise Dr Adams credentials because you will be shocked at how he was treated by some petty bureaucrats in Guyana. Prior to joining the U S Government, Dr. Adams was in the private oil industry engaged in oil exploration.Dr Adams disclosed that Guyana had one of the highest grades of crude oil. He explained that crude oil is normally black but the crude oil found in Guyana was of a lighter colour. Where is this oil? In the Takutu Basin. He explained that the oil was found in the seventies.There were two wells that were producing about 400 barrels per day. It is said that because of a dispute about revenue sharing between the oil company and the Burnham Government the well was capped. He said he urged the present Government on many occasions to revisit the Takutu Basin rather than putting emphasis on off shore drilling, which he stressed is not a sure thing.He said he was gratified that recently the Government has been looking at the Takutu Basin again. Guyana, he said, has all the resources to be self sufficient in energy and it’s a shame that the country has not achieved this position yet.He pointed to neighbouring Brazil, who despite of producing enough oil for its energy needs, and exports, is deriving most of its energy need from alternative energy sources such as hydropower and bio fuels.He predicted that Brazil will soon surpass the United Kingdom as an economic power and will be one of the major economic powers of the world. Besides it natural resources Brazil’s self sufficiency in energy is a key to its success. He revealed that the Brazilians have on several occasions requested his services.Touching on Petro Caribe, Dr. Adams said that this may be a short term benefit for participating countries, but dangerous in the long term, due to the fact that these are loans, not gifts,Cheap China Jerseys, they have to be repaid regardless of how low the interest rate is.If Venezuela wanted to help countries participating in Petro Caribe, a better alternative would have been to help those countries develop alternative energy thus weaning them of oil dependence.He often visits Guyana. He is Chairman of the Linden Fund which helps the Linden Community through programmes such as job creation, education, health care and other social works. He often offers his services and expertise free of charge to the Guyana Government.It was on one of these visits that after consultation with Prime Minister Sam Hinds he went to a Government agency to look over some data on oil exploration. After being given the “run around” by some petty bureaucrat (my words) the information was finally available.Now brace yourself for this; this idiot told Dr Adams that he had to pay for a photocopy of the documents. Yes here we have a world renowned energy expert offering his services free to the Guyana Government, and this fool of a Government official is asking this gentleman to pay for copies of oil exploration data.It was just revealed that Guyana is paying an expert in the field of climate change some US$14,000 per month, but here we cannot give copies to someone who is offering for FREE his expertise on energy. Talk about priorities.There are so many talented Guyanese in the Diaspora willing to share their knowledge for free because of their loyalty to Guyana. The question is whether petty officials who suffer from inferiority complex are willing to exploit their services.Ralph Seeram can be reached at e-mail: [email protected]作者: fuxue8c56 時間: 2018-9-15 17:06 標題: Ralph Lauren Tee 0412Naiset Cg Dawson ParkaMoncler Accessori
ess by which they are arrived at, nor the mode in which they act on us. The greatest of painters only once painted a Ralph Lauren klänningar mysteriously divine arctic parka child; he couldn’t have told how he did it, and we can’t tell why we feel it to be divine. I think there are stores laid up in our human nature that our understandings can make no Vauvan Cg Snow Bunting complete inventory of. Certain strains Moncler Kengät of music affect me so strangely; I can never hear them without their changing my whole Naiset Apex Bionic Takki attitude of mind for a time, and if Moncler Kengät the effect would last, I might be capable of heroisms.”
“Ah! I know what you mean about music; I feel so,” said Maggie, clasping her hands with her old Miehet Cg Snow Mantra Parka impetuosity. “At least,” she added, in a saddened tone, “I used to feel so when I had any music; I never have any now except the organ at church.”
“And you long for it, Piumini Moncler Uomo Maggie?” said Philip, looking at her with affectionate pity. “Ah, you can have very little that is beautiful in your life. Have you many books? You were so fond of them when you were a little girl.”
They were come back to the hollow, round which the dog-roses grew, and they both paused under the charm of the faery evening light, reflected from the pale pink clusters.
“No, I have given up books,” said Maggie, quietly, “except a very, very few.”
Philip had already taken from his pocket a small volume, and was Naiset Cg Solaris Parka looking at the back as he said:
“Ah, this is the second volume, I see, else you might have liked to take it home with you. I put it in my pocket because I am studying a scene for a picture.”
Maggie had looked at the back too, and saw the title; it revived an old Ralph Lauren Ned Västar impression with overmastering force.
“‘The Pirate,’” she said, taking the book from Philip’s hands. “Oh, I began that once; I read to where Minna is walking with Cleveland, and I could never get to read the rest. I went on with it in my own head, and I made several endings; but they were all unhappy. I could never make a happy ending out of that beginning. Poor Minna! I wonder what is the real end. For a long while I couldn’t get my mind away from the Shetland Isles — I used to feel the wind blowing on me from the rough sea.”
Maggie spoke rapidly, with glistening eyes.
“Take that volume home with you, Maggie,” said Philip, watching her with delight. “I don’t want it now. I shall make a picture of you instead — you, among the Scotch firs and the slanting shadows.”
Maggie had not heard a word he had said; she was absorbed in a page at which she had opened. But suddenly she closed the book, and gave it back to Philip, shaking her head with a backward movement, as if to say “avaunt” Ralph Lauren Pony Polos to floating visions.
“Do keep it, Maggie,” said Philip, entreatingly; “it will give you Parajumpers Herr pleasure.”
“No, thank you,” said Maggie, putting it aside with her hand and walking on. “It would make me in love with this world again, as I used to be; it would make me long to see and know many things; it would make me long for a full life.”
“But you will not always be shut up ilinks:
and the dark man, not even if each of them be denoted by one word. For man is here being considered on his material side, and matter does not create a Piumini Moncler Infante difference; for it does not make individual men species of man, though the flesh Män Barbour Lifestyle Jackor and the bones of which this man and that man consist are other. Naiset Cg Chilliwack Bomber The concrete thing is other, but not other in species, because in the definition there Canada Goose Tremblant Jackor is no contrariety. This is the ultimate indivisible kind. Callias is definition + matter, the pale man, then, is so also, because it is the individual Callias that is pale; Canada Goose Solaris Parka man, then, is pale only incidentally. Neither do a brazen and a wooden circle, then, differ in species; and if a brazen triangle and a wooden circle differ in species, it is not because of the matter, but because there is a contrariety in the definition. But does the matter not make things other in species, when it Moncler Takit Naiset is other in a certain way, or is there a sense in which it does? For why is this horse other than this man in species, although their matter is included with their definitions? Doubtless because there is a contrariety in the definition. For while there is a contrariety also between pale man and dark horse, and it is a contrariety in species, it does not depend on the paleness of the one and the darkness of Canada Goose Palliser Parka the other, since even if both had been pale, yet they would have been other in species. But male and female, while they are modifications peculiar to ‘animal’, are so not in virtue of its essence but in the matter, ie. the body. This Män Coats is why the same seed Belstaff New Panther Jackor becomes female or male by being acted on in a certain way. We have stated, then, what it is to be other in species, and why some things differ in species and others do not.
Book X Gilet Moncler Uomo Chapter 10
Since contraries are other in form, and the perishable and the imperishable are contraries (for privation is a determinate incapacity), the perishable and the imperishable must be different in kind.
Now so far we have spoken of the Ralph Lauren Långärmad Polos general terms themselves, so that it might be thought not to be necessary that every imperishable thing should be different from every perishable thing in form, just as not every pale thing is different in form from every dark thing. For the same thing can be both, and even at the same time if it is a universal (e.g. man can be both pale and dark), and if it is an individual it can still be Belstaff Ocelot Jackor both; for the same man can be, though not at the same time, pale and dark. Yet pale is contrary to dark.
But while some contraries belong to certain things by accident (e.g. both those now mentioned and many others), others cannot, and among these are ‘perishable’ and ‘imperishable’. For nothing is by accident perishable. For what is accidental is capable of not being present, but perishableness is one of the attributes that belong of necessity to the things to which they belong; or else one and the same thing may be perishable and imperishable, if perishableness is capable of not belonging to it. Perishableness then must either be the essence or be present in the essence of each perishalinks:
ite, and then the other colours are observed to be Piumini Moncler Vendita produced out Ralph Lauren Pony Polos of this and black, and black is Parajumpers Dam the privation of white, Belstaff Maldon Jackor as darkness of light. Therefore if all existent things were colours, existent things would have been a number, indeed, but of what? Clearly of Naiset Down Vest colours; and the ‘one’ would have been a particular ‘one’, i.e. white. And similarly if all existing things were tunes, they would have been a number, but a number of quarter-tones, and their essence would not have been number; and the one would have been something whose substance was not to be one but to be the quarter-tone. And similarly if all existent things had been articulate sounds, they would have been a number of letters, and the one would have been a vowel. And if all existent things were rectilinear figures, they would have been a number of figures, and the one would have been the triangle. And the same argument applies to all other classes. Since, therefore, while there are numbers and a one both in affections and in qualities and in quantities and in movement, in all cases the number is a number of particular things and the one is one something, and its substance is not just to be one, the same must be true of substances also; for it is true of all cases alike.
That the one, then, in every class is a definite thing, and Ralph Lauren Hoodies in no case is its nature just this, unity, is evident; but as in colours the one-itself which we must seek is one colour, so too in substance the one-itself is one substance. That in a sense unity means the same as being is clear from the facts that its meanings correspond to the Belstaff Trialmaster Jackor categories one to one, and it is not comprised within any category (e.g. it is comprised neither in ‘what a thing is’ nor in quality, but is related to them just as being is); that in ‘one man’ nothing more is predicated than in ‘man’ (just as being is nothing apart from substance or quality or quantity); and that to be one is just to be a particular thing.
Book X Chapter 3
The one and the many are opposed in several ways, of which one is the opposition of the one and plurality as indivisible and divisible; Naiset Down Takki for that which is either divided or divisible is called a Ralph Lauren korta Tees plurality, and that Ralph Lauren Ned Rockar which is indivisible or not divided is called one. Now since opposition is of four kinds, and one of these two terms is privative in meaning, they must be contraries, and neither contradictory nor correlative in meaning. And the one derives its name and its explanation from its contrary, the indivisible from the divisible, because plurality and the divisible is more perceptible than the indivisible, Woolrich Parka so that in definition plurality is prior to the indivisible, because of the conditions of perception.
To the one belong, as we indicated graphically in our distinction of the contraries, the same and the like and the equal, and to plurality belong the other and the unlike and the unequal. ‘The same’ Ralph Lauren Kortärmade skjortor has several meanings; (1) we sometimes mean ‘the same numerically’; again, (2) we call a thing the same if it is one both in definition and in numbelinks:
