WASHINGTON, 5 de janeiro de 2012

(Comunicado de imprensa da Casa da Moeda dos EUA)

The United States Mint, created by Congress in 1792, is the Nation's unique manufacturer of dollars (bills and coins), so that the country can conduct its trade and commerce. A Casa da Moeda dos Estados Unidos, criada pelo Congresso em 1792, é o único fabricante de dólares (notas e moedas) da Nação, para que o país possa efetuar as suas trocas comerciais. 

In addition to producing currency, the United States Mint also produces uncirculated and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver, gold and platinum coins. Para além de produzir moeda, a Casa da Moeda dos Estados Unidos também produz moedas não circuladas e comemorativas; medalhas de ouro do Congresso; e moedas de prata, ouro e platina.

Today the United States Mint announced the new designs that will appear on the Presidential $1 Coins in 2012. Hoje, a Casa da Moeda dos Estados Unidos anunciou os novos desenhos que aparecerão nas moedas presidenciais de 1 dólar em 2012.

Each coin has two sides: the heads and the tails. Cada moeda tem duas faces: a cara e a coroa.

The obverse (heads sides) of the coins will bear portraits of former Presidents Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland (first term), Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland (second term). O anverso (lado da cara) das moedas ostenta os retratos dos antigos Presidentes Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland (primeiro mandato), Benjamin Harrison e Grover Cleveland (segundo mandato).

Inscriptions on the obverse of each coin include the President's name, the years of his term in office, a number indicating the order in which he served, and the inscription IN GOD WE TRUST. As inscrições no anverso de cada moeda incluem o nome do Presidente, os anos do seu mandato, um número que indica a ordem em que exerceu o cargo e a inscrição EM DEUS NÓS CONFIAMOS.

The portraits of Chester Arthur and Grover Cleveland were designed and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart. Os retratos de Chester Arthur e Grover Cleveland foram desenhados e esculpidos pelo escultor-gravador da Casa da Moeda dos Estados Unidos, Don Everhart.

The portrait of Benjamin Harrison was designed and sculpted by United States Mint SculptorEngraver Phebe Hemphill. O retrato de Benjamin Harrison foi desenhado e esculpido pelo escultor da Casa da Moeda dos Estados Unidos, gravador Phebe Hemphill.

All coins in the Presidential $1 Coin Program bear a common reverse (tails side) featuring the iconic Statue of Liberty, designed and sculpted by Everhart. Todas as moedas do Programa Presidencial de Moedas de $ 1 carregam um reverso comum (lado da cauda) com a icônica Estátua da Liberdade, projetada e esculpida por Everhart.

Inscriptions on the reverse are $1 and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The year of minting, or issuance, E PLURIBUS UNUM and the mint mark are incused on the edge of the coins. As inscrições no verso são $ 1 e ESTADOS UNIDOS DA AMÉRICA. O ano de cunhagem, ou emissão, E PLURIBUS UNUM e a marca da casa da moeda são gravados na borda das moedas.

Water Wars May Lie Ahead

By Neena Rai

June 29, 2011, 9:20 AM GMT

          

There is a famous Chinese proverb that warns "not only can water float a boat, it can sink it also."
          

And with global water shortages on the horizon, climate change supporters say an extreme response will be needed from international governments to stem the potential for conflict it will create around the world.
          

Professor Patricia Wouters at the IHP-HELP Centre for water law, policy and science at University of Dundee, said the world could face a future of "water wars" as deterioration in climatic patterns and global population growth leave people struggling to stake their claim to the natural resource.
          

The World Bank in a report said that 1.4 million people could be facing water scarcity by 2025. But the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) forecast is even more gloomy. It estimates that 47% of the world's population could face water stress in the same period – equivalent to more than three billion people.
         

The issue isn’t restricted to countries that typically see temperatures soar, such as Cyprus, which in 2009 was forced to import water in tankers and ration its use. Northern hemisphere nations like the U.K. are also finding themselves in the midst of a drought in some regions, forcing governments to start to take action. The U.K. government, for instance, plans to issue a Water White Paper this December that will focus on the future challenges facing the water industry and measures to increase protection of river flows during summer months.
          

Parts of the U.K. are currently marked as having drought status and other areas of the country are deemed to be at risk of drought. The U.K.'s Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs held a second drought summit Monday, at which Secretary of State Caroline Spelman warned the prospect of a dry summer and dry winter could have a serious impact on the country’s water reserves.
         

“We’re going to keep working with farmers, water companies and environmental groups to minimize the impacts of drought, because this year is sign of things to come,” she said. “The climate is changing and these extreme weather events will become more common. How we deal with that problem will be one of the key parts of our Water White Paper, which will be published later this year.”
          

This may be a far cry from a declaration of war on other more water-abundant nations, but reaching this stage in some countries isn’t beyond the realms of imagination. Egypt and Ethiopia have been battling the issue for the share of the Nile’s water reserves, and Israel – already fighting Palestine for territory that includes precious water reserves – has started to charge the agricultural sector high rates for using the resource.
          

Even in the U.K., the armed forces are being prepared for potential conflicts over water.
          

Professor Wouters said that military plans are being prepared on a 30-year horizon, but that the water security topic had somewhat fallen off the table since the financial crisis. Portugal and Spain are facing serious water scarcity issues but the agricultural sector there is having to shout loudly for its voice to be heard above the noise of the countries' current financial woes.
          

Maybe Israel's entrepreneurial approach to the issue is the way forward. Nevertheless, the fact remains that water scarcity is now firmly on the agenda of the world's governments, and isn't going to vanish overnight.

A Day in the Life of the Women of O&G

by  Jaime Kammerzell

From Rigzone Contributor. Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Although far fewer women work in the oil and gas (O&G) industry compared to men, many women find rewarding careers in the industry. Five women were asked the same questions regarding their career choices in the oil and gas industry.
Question 1: Why did you choose the oil and gas industry?

Woman 1: Cool technology, applying science and money.
Woman 2: It seemed interesting and the pay was good.
Woman 3: They offered me a job! I couldn’t turn down the great starting salary and a chance to live in New Orleans.
Woman 4: I did not really choose the oil and gas industry as much as it chose me.
Woman 5: I chose the oil and gas industry because of the challenging projects, and I want to be part of our country’s energy solution.
Question 2: How did you get your start in the oil and gas industry?

Woman 1: I went to a university that all major oil companies recruit. I received a summer internship with Texaco before my last year of my Master’s degree.
Woman 2: I was recruited at a Texas Tech Engineering Job Fair.
Woman 3: At the time, campus recruiters came to the geosciences department of my university annually and they sponsored scholarships for graduate students to help complete their research. Even though my Master’s thesis was more geared toward environmental studies, as a recipient of one of these scholarships, my graduate advisor strongly encouraged me to participate when the time came for O&G Industry interviews.
Woman 4: I was working for a company in another state where oil and gas was not its primary business. When the company sold its division in the state where I was working, they offered me a position at the company’s headquarters in Houston managing the aftermarket sales for the company’s largest region. Aftermarket sales supported the on-highway, construction, industrial, agricultural and the oil and gas markets. After one year, the company asked me to take the position of managing their marine and offshore power products division. I held that position for three years. I left that company to join a new startup company where I hold the position of president.
Woman 5: My first job in the oil and gas industry was an internship with Mobil Oil Corp., in New Orleans.
I worked with a lot of smart, focused and talented geoscientists and engineers.
Question  3: Describe your typical day.

Woman 1: Tough one to describe a typical day. I generally read email, go to a couple of meetings and work with the field’s earth model or look at seismic. Woman 2: I talk with clients, help prepare bids and work on getting projects out the door. My days are never the same, which is what I love about the job I have.
Woman 3: I usually work from 7:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. (although the official day is shorter). We call the field every morning for an update on operations, security, construction, facilities and production engineering activities. I work with my team leads on short-term and long-term projects to enhance production (a lot of emails and Powerpoint). I usually have 2-3 meetings per day to discuss/prioritize/review ongoing or upcoming work (production optimization, simulation modeling, drilling plans, geologic interpretation, workovers, etc.). Beyond our team, I also participate in a number of broader business initiatives and leadership teams.
Woman 4: A typical day is a hectic day for me. My day usually starts well before 8 a.m. with phone calls and emails with our facility in Norway, as well as other business relationships abroad. At the office, I am involved in the daily business operations and also stay closely involved in the projects and the sales efforts. On any given day I am working on budgets and finance, attending project meetings, attending engineering meetings, reviewing drawings and technical specifications, meeting with clients and prospective clients, reviewing sales proposals, evaluating new business opportunities and making a lot of decisions.
Woman 5: On most days I work on my computer to complete my projects. I interpret logs, create maps, research local and regional geology or write documents. I go to project meetings almost every day. I typically work only during business hours, but there are times when I get calls at night or on weekends from a rig or other geologists for assistance with a technical problem.

How To Start A Career In The Oil And Gas Industry: What Employers Say

By Katie Weir From Talent Acquisition Specialist, Campus Talisman Energy

How to start your career, step by step

_____________________________________________________________________________
Fix up your resumé – take it to your career centre at your university and they’ll help you.

Write a compelling cover letter that speaks to your best qualities – save the pretentious language for your English papers.

Join a professional association and attend their events – if you feel uncomfortable attending alone, try volunteering at them. By having a job to do, it gives you an excuse to interact with the attendees, and an easy way to start up a conversation the next time you see them.

Do your research – I can’t stress this enough. I want students to apply to Talisman, not because we have open jobs, but because they actually have an interest in what we’re doing, and want to be a part of it.

Be confident, but stay humble – it’s important to communicate your abilities effectively, but it’s also important to be conscious of the phrase: “sense of entitlement.” This generation entering the workforce has already been branded with the word “entitlement,” so students will need to fight against this bias from the very beginning of any relationship with people in the industry – be aware that you will need to roll up your sleeves and work hard for the first couple years, and you will be rewarded in the end.
