The scientists in today’s contemporary society stand a better chance of making compared to the traditional rainmakers. Even then, I reserved my skepticism about the possibility of artificially manipulating the clouds in order to create rain. It is after watching the entire documentary that I ...

Abstract

The seawater forms 97% of water of the world, and the icecaps account for 2%. The portion of water available for human consumption is barely 0.5% and that also in aquifers. The widening gap between availability and requirement of potable water especially in the Gulf countries has necessitated newer methods and technologies for production of water suitable for human consumption. This situation in the Gulf region has developed due to non- availability of surface water, high growth of population and urbanization, and water depletion. The present paper takes account of the desalinization of seawater plant established in Abu Dhabi ...

This then, is what Evolutionary Pragmatism assumes to be the purpose of Ethics, and the purpose of Philosophy - the establishment of basic guidelines and rules for deciding which behaviour is Good and Bad, so that the individual will not have to make detailed analyses most of the time.

So the aim of this is so necessary is that the person most of the moment does not have the necessary material to create an "all-knowing" selection of which alternative sequence of deed is "for the best". Most of the time, the person needs ...

Security agencies in Abu Dhabi seem to live by the principle that states, “Taking the law in their hands” and/or “sleeping on the job.” There are several cases where the police have failed to attend to the pleas of the common people especially in situations where the commoner is a foreigner.
