Subject: Stainless steel tubing
Happy new year to all.
This is my first question for this New Year. We normally specify 316SS tubings. When the tubing arrives, it will come with all the necessary certificates confirming the material compositions etc. But once it is installed, the tubing starts to show signs of corrosion typically pitting corrosion.
The environment is seaside and theoretically, 316SS shall not corrode in this environment. I cannot rely on the certificate alone. Appreciate feedback on how I can detect substandard materials.
Best regards

Bear in mind that 316 stainless is not resistant to chloride corrosion at temperatures above about 65C - solar exposure in low latitudes can easily exceed this. Salt spray exposure is going to give pitting. Even duplex stainless is not proof against hot, wet chloride solution.

I faced similar problems in the plant I work. We are close to the sea, in a petrochemical complex and with problems in tubing and instruments external cases (like the external body of secondary compartment of mass flow meters). Talking to two materials experts, both mentioned the same thing Mr. Gibson says and also recommended me to paint all 316SS exposed materials, including OD type fittings. This will avoid pit corrosion and, in the long run, avoid need for replacement. At first it seemed weird to me, now, after five years I admit they were right.

Thank you for your reply. Painting helps to protect the external surface. Do you face any problem of corrosion inside the tubing?

Subject: Stainless steel tubing
316 SS reacts to chlorides, i.e. sea salt. If you have salt water inside the tubing, you will have problems. In fact you will have problems with chlorinated water of any kind inside SS tubing.
I was somewhat shocked when I first started to learn more about 316 SS. It resists rusting from air but that's about its only really good feature. It is not especially strong nor hard and it has a bad habit of galling for the same reasons as aluminum does.
The point about painting SS - I expect the paint will peal off in short order. Does Luiz have experience with this?
I think copper tubing is good against sea air but I don't have any personal experience. One thing for sure, the worst is aluminum. On the other hand, all copper alloys, including brass, are extremely susceptible to H2S corrosion while Al is very resistant. If I had a sour gas plant by the sea side I wouldn't know what to do.

Since January corn has rallied over 80 cents off of lows. Prices have strengthened on thoughts of growing demand chipping away at the large ending stocks figure. The USDA has indicated that ethanol, feed and export demand for corn has been increasing while corn prices were down in the low $4.00 range. But, now that corn is trading at higher levels how is effecting this newly re energized demand?
A few months ago the trade widely believed that we could see a corn ending stocks figure above 2 billion bushels. This would have been the largest corn carry over in recent history and would have been a burdening supply of corn. This sent the corn market on a mission to "buy back" demand with lower prices. According to the USDA lower prices have been successful in growing demand. In November the USDA increased feed demand 100 million bushels and exports by 175 million. In December the USDA increased ethanol and export demand by 50 million bushels each. In January the USDA increased feed demand by 100 million bushels and ethanol demand by 50 million. In February the USDA increased export demand by 150 million bushels. In March the USDA increased export demand by 25 million bushels. Over the course of the last 5 months the USDA has increased demand by 650 million bushels.
In fact, at this point the USDA's estimated total usage of corn is 2.214 billion bushels above last year! This is certainly a reflection of how record prices slowed demand last year as well as a reflection of how low $4.00 has encouraged demand this year. But, now that corn has rallied over 80 cents off of lows how will this effect this 650 million bushels the USDA has added in the last five months and the 2.214 billion increase over last year?
As we have seen in the last few years corn demand is extremely price sensitive in this current global economic set up. This is called price elasticity of demand. In other words, lower prices have a profound effect on increasing demand just as higher prices have a profound effect on decreasing demand.
CME Options On Futures: The Basics: http://www.zaner.com/offers/?page=9&ap=tseifrie
Knowing that corn demand is so sensitive to price the concern now is that higher prices will start rationing some of this demand and start adding bushels back on to the balance sheet. We are now starting to see the early signs of this. The weekly ethanol report showed that last week corn used for ethanol fell almost 5 million bushels and was 6.5 million bushels below the weekly average needed to hit the current USDA estimate. Export sales suffered this week as well. Thursday's export sales report showed that corn sales were 26.9 million bushels compared to 59.8 million last week. This is a 32.9 million bushel decrease and is sharply lower then the previous 4 week average.
Feed demand is a big question. The USDA is currently estimating a 965 million bushel increase in feed demand from last year. To an extent an increase makes sense as a cold winter has increased the need for feed and cattle weights are higher. However, the cattle heard continues to hover near the lowest level since reporting started in 1996. This may not justify such a large increase in feed, and cattlemen may be very price sensitive after years of tight or negative profit margins. This will become more clear on the March 31st quarterly grain stocks report.
The bottom line is that corn has had reason to rally with the USDA adding 650 million bushels of demand and cutting ending stocks to more normal levels. The worst news in corn is most likely behind us. Gone is the talk of a 2+ billion bushel carry over. But, this increase in demand was based on lower prices and with corn demand being so price sensitive it may be the case that an 80 cent rally off lows could begin to slow demand and add bushels back to the balance sheet. Corn is currently in the process of testing its limits and exploring how price sensitive this new demand is. We are now starting to see some signs that demand could be slowing at current levels. If this is the case corn prices may need to come back down to keep demand strong.

Wheat prices were sharply higher Tuesday on weather concerns and more talk about unrest in the Ukraine. Prices had fallen off the highs by the close but still managed to post impressive gains and a new high close for the year.
A cold snap following a brief warm up is causing concerns about damage to wheat crops. The US Drought Monitor Index is showing an increase in dryness in the plains and particularly the southern plains. Cold weather mid-week is now threatening to cause some damage in dry areas. However, crop ratings are mixed with Oklahoma ratings dropping but Texas and Kansas ratings improving. Wheat will now trade a weather/Ukraine market going forward.
News that the Ukraine is off to a slow start to spring planting added support as the market is very sensitive to any Ukrainian news. As of March 7th 46,600 hectares have been planted compared to 300,000 this time last year. It is still early in the planting season, but the market is sensitive to the Ukraine situation and investors are quick to look for the "Ukraine trade" which wheat has been a big focus of. This news comes after the Ukrainian Ag ministry had said earlier that spring grain planting had begun on time and the political uncertainty had not had an effect. This may still prove to be true, but uncertainty and fear is high.
Domestically the USDA is projecting the tightest ending stocks in the last three years. While a 558 million bushel ending stocks number is not a tight enough balance sheet to demand higher prices to price ration demand it does put more pressure on producing a good crop. This means that weather will be followed closely and any threats will be met with strength in prices. On a global scale wheat ending stocks are on the larger end. This could keep a lid on prices as the US will quickly loose export business on higher prices and could end up importing on a larger scale if the situation is bad enough.
For now it seems like investors or funds that would not typically trade wheat are buying wheat to get access to the turmoil in the Ukraine.
The last few days have been dominated by talk of unrest in the Ukraine and the potential global issues it may bring going forward. One of these issues could potentially be a disruption of Ukraine's grain export business. So far this has not been an issue, but we wanted to take a look at the worst-case scenario going forward.
First of all it is important to note that to this point there has been no disruption to Ukrainian grain export business. Two major global grain companies have said that they were experiencing business as usual in the Ukraine. Also, farmers seem to be preparing normally for the coming growing season. But, with the situation ongoing and political tempers heating up the question is what would happen if the Ukraine were no longer able to or interested in exporting corn and wheat.
The Ukraine is a big player in the global wheat and corn markets with the USDA currently estimating that the Ukraine will account for roughly 16.2% of global corn exports and 6.3% of wheat. For perspective, this would represent just under half of Australia's wheat exports and a little less then Brazil's corn exports. If the Ukraine were unable to continue to export grain this would effect the corn and wheat markets dramatically. But, how dramatically?
From a worst-case scenario point of view (which is what we are going for here) let us assume 2 things: 1) that the Ukraine has not exported any 2013/2014 corn or wheat to date, and 2) that any lost exports from the Ukraine would be picked up by the US. Now, neither of these things would be close to the reality but for lets just assume they were for now. If this were the case it would mean that the US would have to pick up the 10 mmt (million metric tons) of wheat and the 18.5 mmt of corn. This translates into 367.4 million bushels of wheat and 728.3 million bushels of corn. Using the current USDA carry over numbers this would leave the US with roughly 191 million bushels of wheat and 753 million bushels of corn. This would be a very tight balance sheet for wheat, but for corn it wouldn't be too far from the carry over from last year.
Now again, neither of the two assumptions are true. It is not the case that the Ukraine has not exported any 2013/2014 grain, and it is also not the case that all of the lost exports would be picked up by the US. But, there are other factors that would need to be considered as well. If Ukrainian grain exports would shut down it would cause higher world prices which would likely curb some global demand. Also, if it were the case that the US and Russia were to get into it over the matter then some US exports to Russia and maybe other countries could suffer as well.
The better way of looking at it may be to subtract the Ukrainian export figure from the USDA's projected global ending stock figure. Basically this would mean that the lost exports from the Ukraine would get spread out a bit which could keep prices more normal and may not cut into global demand. If we looked at it this way we would have a 173.73 mmt carry over of wheat and a 138.8 mmt carry over of corn using the current USDA estimates. Compared to the last three years this would represent a slightly smaller world carry over in wheat then average and still a larger world carry over in corn. This may not be the best way of looking at it either because countries that are not normally exporters may not jump into the mix and logistics can be affected but the reality would fall somewhere between these two scenarios, most likely closer to the second.
Longer term issues could arise as well from an extended engagement. Potentially farmers could slow or stop plantings. Currency and governmental issues could make Ukrainian exports unavailable. Port damage could occur if there were a conflict. But, at this point it seems unlikely that this will escalate to a major conflict.
Overall the Ukrainian situation is bullish for the grains, and in its worse case scenario has the potential to send grain prices sharply higher. Certainly no one knows what the future will bring but for now Ukrainian exports have not been effected. The markets will continue to monitor this situation closely. In particular it seems that funds have been aggressive buyers of anything that could be effected by the Ukraine. If this situation passes without much consequence these funds could want to exit these positions. So, stay tuned.

Soybeans have been on massive bull run in recent weeks on fears that the US may run out of soybeans this year. These fears stem from strong crush numbers, a record pace of export sales and a lack of cancellations/switches of previous sales. But, is Thursday's big reversal off highs signaling that a top may be in for now?
To date US export sales have reached 1.597 billion bushels compared to the current USDA export estimate of 1.51 billion bushels. This means that if all of the soybeans that have been sold for export do in fact end up getting shipped out this year we would be 87 million bushels over the current USDA estimate and with the current USDA ending stock estimate of 150 million bushels it could mean that if everything else on the balance sheet remained the same ending stocks could slip to a dangerously low level of 63 million bushels.
This would be the lowest ending stock number on record and would be well below what the USDA considers "pipeline supply". This fear has sent soybeans (old crop in particular) on a price rationing rally with the intention of shutting down export demand. In the last three weeks soybean export sales have slowed dramatically, but they have still been a positive number each week suggesting soybeans have had more work to do to shut down export demand.
Thursday started with another positive export sales number that sent soybeans soaring to new recent highs, at one point 47 1/2 cents higher in the May contract. However, shortly after the export sales report the USDA announced another sale of 112k metric tons of soybeans to China in 13/14. The thing that was different about this sale though was that it was from optional origin. This means that this sale can come from the US or any soybean exporter. This did not sit well with the market as traders realized that if this is the way China is going to structure sales from here on out it could mean that the origin may end up being South America and it could effectively end the US export sales business with China for the year.
On top of that there was talk all day of more cancellations and switches. Towards the noon hour it came to light that China had switched 4 panamaxes of old crop soybeans to new crop delivery. This put substantial pressure on the market and erased all of the gains from the day and much of yesterday's. The thing is, this may not be a one off scenario. This may continue to happen or may have already happened more then the market realizes. I have also heard talk that one of the major global grain companies has already taken in more South American imports then the current USDA estimate of 35 million bushels. If this is true, a vast majority of the export sales above and beyond the current USDA estimate could be offset by imports. There has even been some stories of container ships of South American soybeans reaching their destination in the US only to refuel and turn around for China. So far, I have not seen any conformation of this, but I have heard this story more then once.

There is also still the possibility of more switches and cancellations of soybean export sales which could bring the export number in line with the USDA estimate. So far 1.325 billion bushels have been shipped of the 1.597 Billion bushels sold. There is still a chance that 87 million of the outstanding 272 million bushels get switched or canceled which would bring us to the USDA export number of 1.51 billion bushels. Even if this does not happen, at these prices we may see imports on a much larger scale then in previous years.
The bottom line is that this situation is much different then the sharp rally in 2012. In that situation a drought in South America followed by a major drought in the US left world ending stocks at very low levels and caused a need for sharp price rationing of demand to allocate the short supply of soybeans. Right now the US has a tight soybean situation, but with a massive crop in South America the world numbers show a potential for a record carry over. This means that although the US situation is tight the world situation is not so global importers can look outside of the US to fill their needs. Furthermore it may mean that the tight US situation could be remedied by imports of South American soybeans. So, the tight US situation may only be temporary as South America gets into the swing of exporting their massive crop.
November soybeans did not have as sharp of a rally as front month, old crop soybeans but did enjoy some carry over strength on the move. Here again the sweeping reversal down day on Thursday could be signaling a top for now. Certainly there is still a growing season and a weather market to get through. With big acreage numbers expected for soybeans and what could be a record world carry over going into next year the outlook for new crop soybeans could be turning quite a bit more negative and could easily shed the rally off lows. Short of a major weather issue this year soybean prices could be much lower next year and the spread difference between old crop and new crop shows it. This has to be a concern for soybean producers. The good news is that the recent rally off lows has given producers an opportunity to lock up some better prices for some of their production.
So, we are likely still in for some volatility after the strong run in soybeans and Thursday's sharp reversals. The bull camp is still out there and could see this as a value buy. But, it seems that the tide may be turning and in the long run it is hard to justify soybean prices at current levels with the possibility of South American imports.

Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati, Ohio
W: A. Simon (3-2)
L: R. VandenHurk (0-1)
CINCINNATI -- Ryan Ludwick's simple grounder ended the Reds' longest game of the season. No such reprieve for the Pittsburgh Pirates, whose misery goes on.
Ludwick drove in the winning run with a two-out infield single in the 14th inning, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a marathon 4-3 victory Monday night that handed the fading Pirates their fourth straight loss.Rick VandenHurk (0-1), called up before the game, started the 14th and gave up a single by Devin Mesoraco. Brandon Phillips reached when the Pirates failed to get a forceout on his grounder, and the runners advanced on a wild pitch.Pirates shortstop Chase d'Arnaud couldn't come up with Ludwick's grounder in the hole, finally ending it."I stunk the entire game," said Ludwick, who was 0-for-5 before the final at-bat. "I must've had a thousand chances to win the game, and I finally did it on the thousandth chance. Every time I came up, it seemed like there were guys on base. I'm glad I finally got it done in ... what inning was it? The 14th?"Yes, the 14th. And there was plenty of drama in both halves of it.The Pirates loaded the bases with none out in the top of the 14th against Alfredo Simon (2-2) and failed to score -- Jose Tabata grounded out to end the threat. The organist played "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" again between innings.It was the Reds' longest game of the season in innings and time -- 5 hours, 22 minutes. The Pirates played a 19-inning, 6-hour game against St. Louis last month."That was a game we needed big time," Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said. "We were spent, emotionally and physically."Imagine what the Pirates felt!Their slump -- four straight losses and 21 in the past 30 games -- has dropped them a season-high 12 games behind the first-place Reds in the NL Central."Well, you know, I've heard that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We're fighting through this thing. This has been a big push for us. It's been a hard time for a while."Sam LeCure bailed out Reds closer Aroldis Chapman to keep it tied in the 10th, retiring Michael McKenry on a grounder with the bases loaded. LeCure struck out the side in the 11th.Chapman had trouble getting his fastball up to speed in his first appearance since Friday, when he had his club-record streak of 27 straight saves snapped. Chapman walked the bases loaded around a pair of outs, his fastball topping out at 96 mph.Baker said after the game that Chapman will get some rest."His velocity's down," Baker said. "There's no pain, but he might be a little tired. We might have to rest him for a few days. He was analyzed by the doctor and his shoulder might be a little fatigued."The Reds wasted a chance in the bottom of the 10th, leaving the bases loaded when Jay Bruce struck out. Bruce went 0-for-5, ending his nine-game hitting streak.Plate umpire Phil Cuzzi warned both benches after Jared Hughes hit Brandon Phillips in the leg with a one-out pitch in the eighth. Phillips paused a moment, picked up the ball and tossed it back toward the mound before heading to first base. The Pirates were upset earlier in the season when a couple of their players got plunked in games.The game drew 16,577 fans, the smallest crowd at Great American Ball Park this season. The second-smallest crowd of the season also was for a Pirates game -- 16,859 for a 5-4 Reds win on June 6.Pittsburgh left-hander Wandy Rodriguez allowed only one hit through the first six innings -- Chris Heisey's solo homer. Hughes relieved in the seventh and gave up a two-run double by Dioner Navarro that tied it at 3.Andrew McCutchen homered off Mat Latos, who got a no-decision and remained unbeaten against the Pirates in his career. The right-hander gave up three runs and remained 4-0 in six career starts against Pittsburgh, allowing a total of nine runs.Game notes
There were more than 500 dogs in the stands as part of a promotion that allowed fans to bring their pets. ... VandenHurk and d'Arnaud were called up before the game, along with RHP Bryan Morris. ... The Reds went 32-16 without 1B Joey Votto and are 2/3 since his return. Votto celebrated his 29th birthday. ... Reds SS Zack Cozart missed his sixth straight game with a strained oblique muscle. ... Reds 3B Scott Rolen took grounders at third base before the game to test his back, which sidelined him for four games, and pinch-hit in the 13th. He grounded out.

Research Notes
After Aroldis Chapman had his worst performance of the season Monday, Dusty Baker told reporters "He (Chapman) might be a little tired. He might have to rest for a while." The numbers sure seem to support Baker's statement:
- Chapman's fastball averaged just 94.4 mph Monday, his lowest this season.
- He threw just six of 21 fastballs (29 percent) and seven of 22 pitches overall (32 percent) for strikes, both his worst in a game this season.
- He tied a season-high throwing eight non-competitive pitches. He issued a season-high three walks.
- He was pulled mid-inning for the first time this season. [+]Aroldis Chapman: Average Fastball Velocity

Hearne FD Truck Burns in Firehouse Parking Lot
Posted: 8:48 PM Feb 8, 2013
Reporter: KBTX Staff
Hearne Firetruck Burns
It's not something you hear very often... A firetruck on fire, but it happened Thursday in Hearne.
Workers with the fire department say that around four in the afternoon, the tanker was parked in their parking lot and caught fire. They don't yet know what started it, but the fire means that engine is now out of commission while it's being repaired. The Hearne Fire Department does have another engine it can use to respond to emergencies for now.

Cox's Bazar (Bengali: কক্সবাজার Kaksbajar) is a seaside town, a fishing port and district headquarters in Bangladesh. It is known for its wide and long sandy beach, which is considered by many as the world's longest natural sandy sea beach.[2][3] The beach in Cox's Bazar is an unbroken 125 kilometres (78 mi) sandy sea beach with a gentle slope. It is located 150 kilometres (93 mi) south of the industrial port of Chittagong. Cox's Bazar is also known by the name Panowa, whose literal translation means "yellow flower". Its other old name was "Palongkee".
Today, Cox's Bazar is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Bangladesh. It has yet to become a major international tourist destination, and has no international hotel chains because of the lack of publicity and transportation.
Cox's Bazar municipality was constituted in 1869, eventually becoming a B-grade municipality in 1989. The municipality covers an area of 6.85 square kilometres (2.64 sq mi).[4] Located along the Bay of Bengal in South Eastern Bangladesh, today Cox's Bazar Town is a large port and health resort. But it is famous mostly for its long natural sandy beach. The municipality covers an area of 6.85 square kilometres (2.64 sq mi) with 27 mahallas and 9 wards and has a population of 51,918.[1] Cox's Bazar is connected by road and air with Chittagong.[5]
The southern Chittagong area, including Cox's Bazar, was under the rule of Arakan kings from the early ninth century until its conquest by the Mughals in 1666 AD.[6] When the Mughal Prince Shah Shuja was passing through the hilly terrain of the present-day Cox's Bazar on his way to Arakan, he was attracted to its scenic and captivating beauty. He commanded his forces to camp there. His retinue of one thousand palanquins stopped there for some time. A place named Dulahazara, meaning "one thousand palanquins", still exists in the area. After the Mughals, the place came under the control of the Tipras and the Arakanese, followed by the Portuguese and then the British.
The name Cox's Bazar originated from the name of a British East India Company officer, Captain Hiram Cox, who was appointed as the Superintendent of Palonki (today's Cox's Bazar) outpost. He succeeded Warren Hastings, who became the Governor of Bengal after the British East India Company Act in 1773. Cox was mobilised to deal with a century-long conflict between Arakan refugees and local Rakhine people at Palonki. The Captain had rehabilitated many refugees in the area but died in 1799 before he could finish his work. To commemorate that, a market was established and named after him, called Cox's Bazar (market of Cox). Cox's Bazar then was first established in 1854 and became a municipality in 1869.[6]
After the Sepoy Mutiny (Indian Rebellion of 1857) in 1857, the British East India Company was highly criticised and questioned on humanitarian grounds, especially for its opium trade monopoly over the Indian Sub-Continent. However, after its dissolution on 1 January 1874, all of the company's assets including its Armed Forces were acquired by the British Crown. After this historic takeover, Cox's Bazar was declared a district of the Bengal Province under the British Crown.
After the end of British rule in 1947, Cox's Bazar became part of East Pakistan. Captain Advocate Fazlul Karim, the first Chairman (after independence from the British) of Cox's Baazar Municipality, established the Tamarisk Forest along the beach. He wanted to attract tourists as well as to protect the beach from tidal waves (tsunami). He donated much of his father-in-law's and his own lands as sites for constructing a Public Library and a Town Hall. He was inspired to build Cox's Baazar as a tourist spot after seeing beaches of Bombay and Karachi, and was a resort pioneer in developing Cox's Bazar as a destination. He founded a Maternity Hospital, the Stadium and the drainage system by procuring grants from the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation through correspondence. T. H. Matthews, the principal of the Dacca Engineering College (1949~1954), was a friend who had helped him in these fundraising efforts. Engineer Chandi Charan Das was the government civil engineer who had worked on all these projects. In 1959 the municipality was turned into a town committee.[6]
In 1961 the erstwhile Geological Survey of Pakistan initiated investigation of radioactive minerals like monazite around the Cox's Bazar sea-beach area.[7]
In 1971, Cox's Bazar wharf was used as a naval port by the Pakistan Navy's gunboats. This and the nearby airstrip of the Pakistan Air Force were the scene of intense shelling by the Indian Navy during the Bangladesh Liberation War. During the war, Pakistani soldiers killed many people in the town, including eminent lawyer Jnanendralal Chowdhury. The killing of two freedom fighters named Farhad and Subhash at Badar Mokam area is also recorded in history.[8]
After the independence of Bangladesh, Cox's Bazar started to get administrative attention. In 1972 the town committee of Cox's Bazar was turned into a municipality. In 1975, The Government of Bangladesh established a pilot plant at Kalatali.[7] Later, in 1984 Cox's Bazar subdivision was promoted to a district, and five years later (in 1989) the Cox's Bazar municipality was elevated to B-grade.[6] In 1994 (jobs) the Marine Fisheries and Technology Station (MFTS) was established at Cox's Bazar. MFTS is a research station of Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute (BFRI) headquartered in Mymensingh. The station covers a land area of four hectares and contains five laboratories.[9] In April 2007 Bangladesh got connected to the submarine cable network as a member of the SEA-ME-WE 4 Consortium, as Cox's Bazar was selected as the landing station of the submarine cable.[10] In September 2012 the municipality was the site of the Cox's Bazar and Ramu riots, where local Muslims attacked the Buddhist community over an alleged Quran desecration posted to Facebook.[11]
Geography and climate[edit]
Cox's Bazar town, with an area of 6.85 km², is located at 21°35′0″N 92°01′0″E / 21.58333°N 92.01667°E and bounded by Bakkhali River on the north and East, Bay of Bengal in the West, and Jhilwanj Union in the south.
The climate of Bangladesh is mostly determined by its location in the tropical monsoon region: high temperature, heavy rainfall, generally excessive humidity, and distinct seasonal variations.[12] The climate of Cox's Bazar is mostly similar to the that of rest of the country. It is further influenced by its location in the coastal area. The annual average temperature in Cox's Bazar remains at about a maximum of 34.8 °C and a minimum of 16.1 °C. The average amount of rainfall remains at 4,285 mm.

Economy and development[edit]
As one of the most beautiful and famous tourist spots in Bangladesh, Cox's Bazar has an economy supported primarily by tourism. Millions of tourist and Bangladeshi natives visit this coastal city every year. As a result, a large number of hotels, guest houses and motels have been built in the city and coastal region. Many people are involved in businesses providing hospitality and customer service. Several hotels are available in the city under different budgets, including some of high-end standard. However no renowned international hotel chains operate in the city, but many are under construction. The Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group plans 2 Radissons here in 2015, and another in the port city Chittagong.[14][15][16] A Best Western hotel is expected to be operational in 2014. Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is on their way to open one in 2013.[17][18]
A number of people are also involved in fishing and collecting seafood and sea products for their livelihood. Various kinds of oyster, snail, and pearl and their ornaments are very popular with tourists in seaside and city stores. A number of people are also involved in the transportation business for tourists. Cox's Bazar is also one of the few major spots for aquaculture in Bangladesh.[19] Along with Khulna, it is considered a major source of revenue from foreign exchanges. Beside a mix of small-scale agriculture, marine and inland fishing and salt production are other industrial sources from this region that play important roles in the national economy.

Nike SB Dunk High 'Tauntaun'
September 30th, 2011 by John Kim | 23 comments
The whole Star Wars motif isn't strictly an adidas thing. Arguably the greatest fictional saga in movie history has been emphatically used to inspire a number of apparel and footwear, like the entire Star Wars x adidas Originals collection and the Nike SB Dunk Low 'Jedi' from years ago. For this November 2011, the Tauntaun – a fictional land beast that roamed the planet of Hoth – will be the focus of a Nike SB Dunk High; designed by Nike SB Product Line Manager Shawn Bavaretto, the Nike SB Dunk High 'Tauntaun' features a two-toned blue/grey upper colorway with textured materials. Again, these are slated for a November 2011 release, so check out a picture of the Tauntaun below to draw your own connections between beast and sneaker, and let us know what you think. via N-SB.

Baravetto is fucking HORRIBLE. They need to fire that dude EARLY. I'm a Star Wars fan since it came out and this piece of shit looks NOTHING like a Tauntaun and is a disgrace to SW fans everywhere! I hope SB sends this dude packin!
I honestly dont care man, yesterday I wore a pair of high top chucks, they reminded me why I love Nike in general, there some comfortable shoes. Man these are nice, especially for those Star Wars fans out there.
LUCAS will sue, the shoe will never be released...just like all the other unofficial "collabos"...freddys, jasons,....
*SB is out of ideas...these have nothing to do with the lord quas prototypes this is the creature those had http://www.feedmecoolshit.com/wp-content/uploads/... that was said just for hype
once again yet another whack design from shawn, pass...he really needs to stop designing for Nike SB....died in 06, too many whack cws, too many shoes per year in general, quality sucks, comfort sucks, the look of the dunk, now, looks horrible......garbage, it's a shame the lord quas samples are "the samples" for these, even though imo that was just said to create hype for what would have been another slept on cw....they don't look alike at all.....SBs is out of ideas
man im catching the SB bug...where can i grab newly released sb's online...does nike.com carry them....maybe a dumb question but i no nothing about sb's my collection is 99.9 % jordans
I don't think Lucas would have a strong case...the Boba Fett SB's came out and nothing happened.
Me 2 homie, they're all I been buyin lately, definately on em hard now, I will try 2 get these 2.

Sanu is a perfect fit for the Bengals opposite second-year standout A.J. Green. Sanu will be able to take some of the pressure off Green by doing the dirty work in the middle of the field. Despite not having explosive speed Sanu is an elusive, competitive player after the catch with excellent hands. --Russ Lande

You Don't Need to Wait To Travel!
Have you dreamed of seeing the world ever since you were a little kid, but you've never really had the time or the money to do so? You can't manage to take off work for a few weeks, and your children have a soccer game they just can't miss because of where it falls in the season. Every time you try and talk to your friends about vacation, all they ever suggest is the cabin in the woods a few miles from your town. Don't let these situations keep you from traveling!
For every problem, there is a solution that you can work towards to make your dreams of seeing the world come true. So let us tackle them one at a time.
Money - Quite a large problem for many people in the world today, saving money for a vacation is hard. Especially when your destination lies on the other side of the world. But there are a few simple things you can do to start saving up now. First off, cut out fast food and your morning coffee from the coffee shop. By packing a lunch and making a cup of coffee to go at home, you can save around $15-$30 dollars a day depending on where you live and eat. That may not seem like much, but it's around $450 dollars a month saved towards your vacation! Carpool whenever possible, and try and reduce the amount of times you eat out with the family, opting instead for a home cooked meal. You'll have your money saved in no time.
We all know that money can still be tight. But, did you know that their is a Company that offers 5-Star Vacations for only 2-Star Prices. That VIP-Travel Company is called World Ventures.
Time Off - If your company doesn't allow you to take vacation time, offer to cover extra shifts in advance to offset the days you might miss. By covering extra work load, you'll show your boss that your vacation won't hinder the company. You can also try and have someone else cover your shift for the days you won't be able to make it, or trade them for a day you can be there.
Children - If your children really don't feel like going to Rome with you and your partner, then leave them at home! A helpful relative or family friend can even stay at your home and make sure they get to that soccer game on time. Or better yet, try and plan your trip around children's summer camp. By sending them on their own mini vacation, it gives you a stress free window to go on your own.
Avoiding The Local - Perhaps one of the harder things about choosing a destination, is picking one that isn't your normal stomping ground. But by simply allowing yourself to step out of the box and refusing to go anywhere you have been before, you open up the world to your vacationing fingertips.
So why wait to start planning your dream vacation that allows you to travel all over the world before you retire? Following these few easy steps will have you on the other side of the planet in no time at all.
If you want to vaction Sooner and More Often ... Consider WorldVentures as your ONLY Choice.

It was quite difficult to find this park, as it and the office are at 2 separate locations. The park itself was clean and well kept large sites for big rigs. It would have helped to have had a map of the area but none was provided. There is a fee for the internet.

We arrived at this park in June. The staff super friendly and helpful. We were interested in Niagara Falls and the office booked a tour for us. The wireless internet was great! The sites are spacious and very well kept grounds. The pup liked it here as well. We only wished we could have stayed longer but needed to continue on our journey. I can't express how pleased we were with our stay.

[ 2/10 ]
We made a reservation in advance and when we arrived at the park the space was too small for us, so we were given different site to pay difference. The power was on and off during our stay, the water line was accidentally cut so we had no water for hours. I looked out my window and thought I saw a cat, but no it was a family of rats living under the third cabin in front of us. At night the skunks spray their perfume. There are lots and lots of trees, so many it may hinder you from entering and leaving your site. The water tasted like bleach so we used bottled water the whole stay.

Your plate will runneth over at this year's Best of Nevada bountiful buffets.
Photo: Charlie Johnston
Toucan Charlie's Buffet & Grille at Reno's Atlantis Casino Resort Spa has been a locals' favorite practically from when it first opened in 1994. In the years since, it has amassed a heap of accolades, awards, and "bests." The seven-time Nevada Magazine Best of Nevada winner has certainly earned its fame.
Holding claim to the largest buffet in Northern Nevada, Toucan Charlie's truly offers something for everyone. Each of its dedicated cuisine stations has as many options as most buffets in their entirety. The Mexican food section recently received high praise from a group of journalists visiting from Mexico, and the Asian section's Mongolian Grill is a perennial favorite, where guests get custom, made-to-order Mongolian barbecue creations of their own design.
Made-to-order salads are another favorite and complement the traditional salad bar nicely. Breakfast and the ever-popular Sunday Champagne Brunch get in on the made-to-order action with an omelet bar. Toucan Charlie's signature dish, slow-cooked prime rib, is available every day (as it has been since the buffet opened, according to Executive Chef Bob Katausky), but the biggest draws are the special seafood buffets on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, when heaping platters of chilled crab legs and plump shrimp, mounds of fresh-shucked oysters, and oceanic offerings that range from lobster raviolis and fired calamari steaks to grilled salmon filets and steamed mussels.
In addition to offering and expansive lineup of fresh fare, Toucan Charlie's is also doing its part to make the Atlantis and local food industry more sustainable. The buffet was the first restaurant at the property to send food waste to be composted at Minden's Full Circle Compost, keeping about two thirds of its waste out of landfill. Every restaurant at the Atlantis now utilizes the composting service as well, keeping more than 120 cubic yards of waste from entering landfills each month.

A three-time Best of Nevada winner, Rum Jungle Buffet at Carson City's Casino Fandango offers a selection of more than 140 house-made dishes. Large salad and dessert sections, five "live-action stations," and an award-winning champagne brunch make it little wonder why Rum Jungle is so loved by Nevada Magazine readers.

One of the few buffets in Nevada to offer beer and wine included in the price of meals, M Resort's Studio B Buffet in Henderson impresses diners—and Best of Nevada voters—with more than free drinks. Cooking technique demonstrations in an adjacent kitchen studio are broadcast on video monitors throughout the buffet so guests can learn something about their food as they select from the more than 200 daily appetizer, entrée, and dessert options.

I can tell that she is depresed about being alone and I understand that she is lonely and haveing a hyper teenager around must eventually anoy her. I've never been able to assist her except get good grades in school and help her around the house. I feel the Mother Pampering Sweepstakes could be a great way for my mother to have fun and relax. She works alot and i can tell that she worries about my college education.
She is a loveing and kind and sweet woman and thats why i believe that she deserves to enter and win this contest.

I was playing with the ESPN mock draft thing and it simulates the lottery and all that jazz...well after 2-3 tries (all putting us in #13 pulling Evans) the simulator put is in slot #2 and picking Harden. My wonder and point of conversation is "what would we do" if we got 1-2-3 in the draft by some miracle.
I feel if we got #1 we'd trade the pick (or pick for someone else and trade players whatever based on the rules of an already traded pick). I don't know much about Harden, but I'm guessing he'd be a safe pick at 2 or 3. Or do we pick the giant from UCONN and swap out Meka for an all star SG?
Just looking to see, obviously our chances are slim, but you never know, you never ever ever know

- Banks' financial distress, lending supply and consumption expenditure (2014)
- The paper employs a unique identification strategy that links survey data on household consumption expenditure to bank level data in order to estimate the effects of bank financial distress on consumer credit and consumption expenditures. Specifically, we show that households whose banks were more exposed to funding shocks report significantly lower levels of non-mortgage liabilities compared to a matched sample of households. The reduced access to credit, however, does not result in lower levels of consumption. Instead, we show that households compensate by drawing down liquid assets. Only households without the ability to draw on liquid assets reduce consumption. The results are consistent with consumption smoothing in the face of a temporary adverse lending supply shock. The results contrast with recent evidence on the real effects of finance on firms' investment, where even temporary adverse credit supply shocks are associated with significant real effects.
- Life insurance demand under health shock risk (2014)
- This paper studies the life cycle consumption-investment-insurance problem of a family. The wage earner faces the risk of a health shock that significantly increases his probability of dying. The family can buy term life insurance with realistic features. In particular, the available contracts are long term so that decisions are sticky and can only be revised at significant costs. Furthermore, a revision is only possible as long as the insured person is healthy. A second important and realistic feature of our model is that the labor income of the wage earner is unspanned. We document that the combination of unspanned labor income and the stickiness of insurance decisions reduces the insurance demand significantly. This is because an income shock induces the need to reduce the insurance coverage, since premia become less affordable. Since such a reduction is costly and families anticipate these potential costs, they buy less protection at all ages. In particular, young families stay away from life insurance markets altogether.
- Asset prices in general equilibrium with recursive utility and illiquidity induced by transactions costs (2014)
- In this paper, we study the effect of proportional transaction costs on consumption-portfolio decisions and asset prices in a dynamic general equilibrium economy with a financial market that has a single-period bond and two risky stocks, one of which incurs the transaction cost. Our model has multiple investors with stochastic labor income, heterogeneous beliefs, and heterogeneous Epstein-Zin-Weil utility functions. The transaction cost gives rise to endogenous variations in liquidity. We show how equilibrium in this incomplete-markets economy can be characterized and solved for in a recursive fashion. We have three main findings. One, costs for trading a stock lead to a substantial reduction in the trading volume of that stock, but have only a small effect on the trading volume of the other stock and the bond. Two, even in the presence of stochastic labor income and heterogeneous beliefs, transaction costs have only a small effect on the consumption decisions of investors, and hence, on equity risk premia and the liquidity premium. Three, the effects of transaction costs on quantities such as the liquidity premium are overestimated in partial equilibrium relative to general equilibrium.

- The Single Supervisory Mechanism - Panacea or Quack Banking Regulation? : preliminary assessment of the evolving regime for the prudential supervision of banks with ECB involvement (2013)
- This paper analyzes the evolving architecture for the prudential supervision of banks in the euro area. It is primarily concerned with the likely effectiveness of the SSM as a regime that intends to bolster financial stability in the steady state. By using insights from the political economy of bureaucracy it finds that the SSM is overly focused on sharp tools to discipline captured national supervisors and thus underincentives their top-level personnel to voluntarily contribute to rigid supervision. The success of the SSM in this regard will hinge on establishing a common supervisory culture that provides positive incentives for national supervisors. In this regard, the internal decision making structure of the ECB in supervisory matters provides some integrative elements. Yet, the complex procedures also impede swift decision making and do not solve the problem adequately. Ultimately, a careful design and animation of the ECB-defined supervisory framework and the development of inter-agency career opportunities will be critical. The ECB will become a de facto standard setter that competes with the EBA. A likely standoff in the EBA's Board of Supervisors will lead to a growing gap in regulatory integration between SSM-participants and other EU Member States. Joining the SSM as a non-euro area Member State is unattractive because the current legal framework grants no voting rights in the ECB's ultimate decision making body. It also does not supply a credible commitment opportunity for Member States who seek to bond to high quality supervision.

- Savings banks and cooperative banks in Europe (2013)
- Until about 25 years ago, almost all European countries had a so-called "three pillar" banking system comprising private banks, (public) savings banks and (mutual) cooperative banks. Since that time, several European countries have implemented far-reaching changes in their banking systems, which have more than anything else affected the two "pillars" of the savings and cooperative banks. The article describes the most important changes in Germany, Austria, France, Italy and Spain and characterizes the former and the current roles of savings banks and cooperative banks in these countries. A particular focus is placed on the German case, which is almost unique in so far as the German savings banks and cooperative banks have maintained most of their traditional features. The article concludes with a plea for diversity of institutional forms of banks and argues that it is important to safeguard the strengths of those types of banks that do not conform to the model of a large shareholder-oriented commercial bank.
- Deposit insurance suitable for Europe: Proposal for a three-stage deposit guarantee scheme with limited European liability (2013)
- In this note, a new concept for a European deposit guarantee scheme is proposed, which takes account of the strong political reservations against a mutualization of the liability for bank deposits. The three-stage model for deposit insurance outlined in the text builds on existing national deposit guarantee schemes, offering loss compensation on a European level and at the same time preventing excessive risk and moral hazard taking by individual banks.
- Legal aspects of gender balance on corporate boards in Germany (2013)
- The German corporate governance code includes a recommendation as to diversity on corporate boards. Two draft bills on gender quotas are currently under way in legislative proceedings. However, the ruling coalition rejects those, advocating a "flexible quota". The present study provides an overview on legislative proposals currently presented and on academic scholarship on the issue. Legal obstacles to the introduction of a "fix" quota under German law are discussed and the "soft" version of "flexible" quotas is advocated.
- Scaling-up what works : experimental evidence on external validity in Kenyan education (2013)
- The recent wave of randomized trials in development economics has provoked criticisms regarding external validity. We investigate two concerns—heterogeneity across beneficiaries and implementers—in a randomized trial of contract teachers in Kenyan schools. The intervention, previously shown to raise test scores in NGO- led trials in Western Kenya and parts of India, was replicated across all Kenyan provinces by an NGO and the government. Strong effects of shortterm contracts produced in controlled experimental settings are lost in weak public institutions: NGO implementation produces a positive effect on test scores across diverse contexts, while government implementation yields zero effect. The data suggests that the stark contrast in success between the government and NGO arm can be traced back to implementation constraints and political economy forces put in motion as the program went to scale.
