The Present Sample Clauses

The Present. With as little as 150,000 MT, the market began to open up. Even though consumption per capita remained low at about 0.5 kilograms per capita (Ghana is 3 kg per capita while Morocco is 44.40 kg per capita) and the market could only take about 60,000 MT from NLNG annually, the market commenced with a slow awakening. To start with, the off-takers came to surmount operational problems and infrastructural challenges. That included chartering the shuttle ship and using the PPMC facility in Apapa together. They also contributed enormously to bring back to life the PPMC terminal and improve load-out. NLNG's contribution of about 80% to LPG supplies led to millions of dollars spent to move the volume to consumers. NLNG spent over S7million a year on the supply vessel; more upstream players are investing in gas processing plants and more gas producers are coming into the game; more investments in through-put facilities, for example, NAVGAS facility costing $50million; NIPCO worth N7billion and millions of dollars of off-takers investments in the development of their supply chain. As part of plans to develop a formidable chain of supply, many of the off-takers invested in cylinders; not only revitalizing the market with new cylinders, but bringing smaller cylinders as a palliative to those who could not afford the popular 12.5kg cylinders. Currently, more off-takers are participating in the DLPG and the program is beginning another cycle of contract with these off-takers. Masters Energy is one of the new off-takers. The increasing demand for LPG outgrew the STS model of supplying gas to the domestic market.

The Present. ‌ Presently, New Westminster continues to be a desirable place to live, work, and play due to the vibrant community; heritage and traditions; small-town charm; and proximity to the water, highways, rail, air, and light rapid transit system. Together these assets provide New Westminster with a competitive advantage in terms of growth and economic development. New Westminster is a city of opportunity and development! Over the past decade, New Westminster has issued an average of 180 new business licenses per year accounting for three times faster growth than Greater Vancouver.

Businesses that locate here enjoy competitive lease rates and a supportive community. And for those seeking a strong sense of connection, there is no better place to live, work and play ("Economic snapshot 2014,” 2014).
The Present. The consciousness-raising and activist work by first- and second-wave feminists fundamentally informs current feminist objectives. Because of this earlier work, some structural limitations no longer restrain contemporary feminists. One crucial advancement facilitated by first-wave feminists is, of course, women’s right to vote. Though even with suffrage, barriers to feminist objectives persist, for as Ahmed explains, “the persistence of the past” endures (187). Moreover, xxxx xxxxx asserts, “our task would be ‘not to forget the past but to break its hold’” (33). Contemporary feminism reflects both claims. Although elements of the past inform the present, feminism constantly responds to these traces and works to nullify them. Feminism is both understood as a response and defined by what it is against; feminism, then, responds to patriarchal constructions and defines itself as resisting the patriarchy. Breaking the hold of the past, expressed by hooks, suggests continually resisting the grip over future progress. Nevertheless, she persisted, superseding the persistence of the past. The Women’s Marches offer one such response. This international and perennial response exemplifies contemporary feminist tropes. Enabled by the accomplishments of earlier feminists and modern technologies, primarily social media, contemporary feminists embrace “the role of emotions in active citizenship” at a rapid and global scale (Bore 530). First-wave feminists were forced to avoid emotional appeals lest their already tenuous ethos be dismissed entirely. Instead, first-wave feminists employed rational arguments drawing upon higher authorities, illustrated by Xxxxxxx’x “Declaration of Sentiments,” which mirrors the tone of first- wave rhetoric. Contemporary feminists, on the other hand, often facilitate consciousness-raising and legitimize their right to speak through emotion and through anger in particular. The first Women’s March invoked emotional appeals, particularly because it developed in response to a recording of then-presidential candidate Xxxxxx Xxxxx. The recording reveals Xxxxx bragging about how his privilege granted him the ability – the right – to sexually assault women, to “grab them by the pussy” (Xxxxxxxxxxx). If feminism is defined by what it is against, then the Women’s March is defined as against the themes represented in this recording. The Women’s March grabs back, refuting the exercise of power male privilege wields over bodies. Contemporary feminists cou...
