  • Investment Guide
    SURINAME INVESTMENT GUIDE Where Business equals Quality of Life INVESTMENT GUIDE SURINAME Where Business equals Quality of Life INVESTMENT GUIDE SURINAME Where Business equals Quality of Life PREFACE In the last number of years, Suriname made significant steps to integrate its economy into the globalizing world economy. By becoming a member of the Caribbean Community in 1995, a process started which included regulatory reforms and trade liberalization with the purpose of modernizing the economy and cutting red tape. In 2004, the country was able to reach a positive trade balance. For decades, the US and The Netherlands were significant trading partners of Suriname. Regional integration is an important policy aspect of the current Government which took office in August of 2010. By following a conscious strategy of integrating into non traditional markets and participating in the South American integration process, the country is opening doors to investors who will see opportunities in mining, a wide range of services, agriculture, cultural diversity, communications and value added products. By deepening the relationship with traditional trading partners with investment modalities and implementing a South South strategy with nontraditional partners, the economy of Suriname is being transformed into an emerging market. Suriname is a unique and safe place with the natural resources and geological characteristics of South America, the warmth of the Caribbean, a cultural diversity found nowhere else, and a constantly improving investment and business climate. The Government makes serious effort to make Suriname a better place do to business and will treat all investors alike, according to the Most Favorite Nation principles.

  • Draft Country Environmental Profile Version 4Th February 2004 1
    Draft Country Environmental Profile Version 4th February 2004 1. Executive summary Will be incorporated when document is finalised. 2. Background This Country Environmental Profile was constructed to accompany the Joint Annual Review as a mandatory annex. As there are no previous country profiles available for Suriname, the main sources for the information provided in this profile were the consul tees and the documents they have provided: NIMOS, IDB, STINASU, the Dutch Embassy (Dhr. Noordam), Stichting Schoon Suriname, UNDP, WWF, Conservation International, Ministry of ATM (these still need to consulted). The profile is based on the current information available. As there are a number of areas were information was unavailable, this draft environmental profile is in certain areas incomplete. We recommend that the draft CEP will be reviewed by a consultant to fill in the blanks and add some more depth to the profile. 2.1 Physical conditions The Republic of Suriname is situated along the north coast of South America between 2- 6° N and 54-58° W, bordering in the east with French Guiana, in the south with Brazil, in the west with Guyana and in the north with the Atlantic Ocean. The historical borders of Suriname are established either by rivers or by watershed, in the east and west by the Marowijne and Corantijn Rivers respectively, and in the south by the watershed between the Amazonian basin and the basins of the Suriname Rivers. The second of the three Guianas in size and population, it has a human population of approximately 433,000 in a land area of 166,000 km², the largest concentration being in Paramaribo, the capital of the Republic Suriname.

  • Coastwise Sail
    COflSTUJISE COASTWISE SAn. COASTWISE SAIL by JOHN ANDERSON Dedicated to the memory of the sailing ships of the West Country and the gallant seadogs who manned them. ' LONDON PERCIVAL MARSHALL & CO. LTD. , I FOREWORD O-DAY, the English sailing schooner is almost as dead as the dodo, and it is rather a doleful tale I T have to tell in these pages,-the story of the last days of sail in British waters. Twenty-five years ago or even less, our shores and our ports were literally alive with little sailing vessels engaged in our busy coasting trade, lovely sweet-lined topsail schooners, smart brigantines and stately barquentines; but old Father Time has dealt very hardly with them. What is the position to-day? Of all the great fleet that graced the British coasts in 1920, only two purely sailing vessels remain afloat in this year of grace 1947. These are the little topsail schooner Katie of Pad­ stow and the Irish three-masted topsail schooner Brook­ lands* of Cork. All the others have fallen by the way with the relentless passing of the years, or else they have been converted to cut-down auxiliary motor vessels, usually operating as motor ships rather than sailing vessels, and so the days of sail in the English coasting trade are "rapidly passing. No longer will one see a bunch of little schooners riding to their anchors in Falmouth Roads, and no longer will one see a fleet of wind-bound sailers sheltering off Holyhead. Yet these gallant little schooners of the West Country are not forgotten, and it is with the object of keeping their memory ever-green that this book is written.

  • Settlement Patterns, Chiefdom Variability, and the Development of Early States in North China
    JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL ARCHAEOLOGY 15, 237±288 (1996) ARTICLE NO. 0010 Settlement Patterns, Chiefdom Variability, and the Development of Early States in North China LI LIU School of Archaeology, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia Received June 12, 1995; revision received May 17, 1996; accepted May 26, 1996 In the third millennium B.C., the Longshan culture in the Central Plains of northern China was the crucial matrix in which the ®rst states evolved from the basis of earlier Neolithic societies. By adopting the theoretical concept of the chiefdom and by employing the methods of settlement archaeology, especially regional settlement hierarchy and rank-size analysis, this paper introduces a new approach to research on the Longshan culture and to inquiring about the development of the early states in China. Three models of regional settlement pattern correlating to different types of chiefdom systems are identi®ed. These are: (1) the centripetal regional system in circumscribed regions representing the most complex chiefdom organizations, (2) the centrifugal regional system in semi-circumscribed regions indicating less integrated chiefdom organization, and (3) the decentral- ized regional system in noncircumscribed regions implying competing and the least complex chief- dom organizations. Both external and internal factors, including geographical condition, climatic ¯uctuation, Yellow River's changing course, population movement, and intergroup con¯ict, played important roles in the development of complex societies in the Longshan culture. As in many cultures in other parts of the world, the early states in China emerged from a system of competing chiefdoms, which was characterized by intensive intergroup con¯ict and frequent shifting of political centers.

  • Probabilistic Approach of the Upper and Middle Odra Basin Daily Rainfall Modeling

Dąbek3, and Bartosz Kaźmierczak2 1Institute of Meteorology and Water Management – National Research Institute, 01-673 Warsaw, Podlesna Street 61, Poland 2Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Wybrzeze Wyspianskiego 27, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland 3Institute of Environmental Protection and Development, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland pl. Grunwaldzki 24, 50-363 Wroclaw, Poland Abstract. The aim of this study was to obtain the maximum daily rainfall descriptions based on 9 probability distributions in 12 meteorological stations located in Upper and Middle Odra river basin. Analysis included long-term period from 1961 to 2010. Regarding to AIC and BIC informational criterions Gamma distribution that appeared to be best fitted probability distribution to measurement rainfall data series. For several stations, Pareto, Weibull and generalized exponential distributions were also possible to use. For practical purposes it is necessary to carry out a similar analysis for much shorter rainfall intervals. The final evaluation of the suitability of individual probability distributions for constructing maximum rainfall probabilistic models requires further research. 1 Introduction The reliability of urban drainage systems is not fully achievable due to the random nature of precipitation. However, it must be designed in the way that fulfill the contemporary standards of drainage, which is defined as the adaptation of the system to receive the maximum (predicted) storm water streams with a frequency of appearance equal to the acceptable (socially acceptable) frequency of spillage into the terrain [1].
