Sugar beyond the point of no return – Clive Thomas
Economist Dr Clive Thomas says he is now more than ever convinced that the crisis in the sugar industry has gone beyond the point of no return.
In the first of a new series on the sugar industry in the last Sunday Stabroek, Thomas said "At this point of time (the beginning of 2014), I am now more than ever convinced that the crisis in the sugar industry has passed its tipping-point or point of no return. This means that all hopes for a rational, considered and ordered reform and reconstruction of the industry are lost."
His prognosis comes in the wake of continuing bad news for the industry and the seeming lack of a clear way forward. This year's sugar production ended at 186,807 tonnes, the lowest recorded in 22 years. In a year rife with industrial relations issues, mechanical problems and inadequate grinding capacity, the industry's performance slid beneath GuySuCo's minimum production rate of 232,000 tonnes of sugar for its international and local quotas, leaving the corporation severely indebted to banks and suppliers. Up to the end of August last year, sugar production was a miserable 81,000 tonnes. The flagship Skeldon factory which was hyped as having the capability to grind 350 tonnes of cane an hour was grinding just 185 tonnes per hour and management has reduced the future projected rate to 250 tonnes, calling this a far more realistic grinding rate.
In coming columns, Thomas will review issues he raised in a series of columns in 2011 and 2012. In last Sunday's column, he said all industries and businesses go through life cycle changes and that GuySuCo and the wider sugar industry are at the industrial life cycle stage of post maturity and long-term secular decline. "As presently configured the country's sugar business can no longer go forward as a viable commercial endeavor", the economist asserted.
He said that the present structure of the industry was leading it to produce less and less sugar at a higher and higher cost. Noting the inevitable losses, he said this is clearly an unsustainable situation for the sugar company.
"In light of this both the EU's continuing sugar assistance and government's bailouts of GuySuCo can be viewed as seeking to rescue the industry from total collapse. Such a situation however represents, in essence, a classic case of throwing good money after bad. As worldwide experience has shown, while it is hard politically for governments to stop providing unwarranted subsidies to state industries, it is far worse for them to yield to those interests that are driving the need for the subsidies. The misallocation of national resources implicit in this posture is inevitably bad for everyone economically, but it will eventually also carry a devastating political cost, given the size and configuration of the sugar industry in Guyana's political economy", Thomas argued.
Annual subventions to GuySuCo despite continuing poor results have sparked concerns in the opposition parties and they are expected to look carefully at allocations in this year's budget.
The issues that Thomas will revisit in coming columns include the vast expansion of the global sugar industry and particularly the tropical cane sugar industry under a 'transitional' WTO-led international trading regime. He will also address the fact that even though there has been rapid growth of the global sugar industry "stagnation and decline have been the hallmarks of Guyana's sugar industry". Also to be covered are the key performance indicators human resources utilization (labour and management); savings utilization (investment capital and financing); productivity (technical and technological); national resources utilization (geography and environment); as well as cultural (social and political) and what these say about the problems being experienced.
Thomas will also focus on the strategies designed by the authorities to turn around the sugar industry and how they have fared. These strategies are mainly the Sugar Modernization Project (SMP) and the later Turnaround Plan (Blue-print) initiated by GuySuCo's Interim Board in 2009. The SMP includes the construction of the Skeldon Factory along with its related Berbice agricultural fields restructuring.
The SMP has been seen as an enormous and costly failure under the Jagdeo administration. The Skeldon factory which was built by a Chinese company has not operated anywhere to its rated capacity and a large sum has had to be spent on rectification works.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
It's only another week until the All Star Game, and there's still no clear contenders. The Yankees are the first to 50 wins, and the Braves are the first to 30 home wins, while the Orioles still haven't reached 10 road wins. Minnesota has been slipping, and is now tied for the division lead with Detroit, with Chicago just one game out. Russell Branyan is with Seattle now; ditto for Bengie Molina and Texas. We'll see if any deals change the picture at all. Cincinnati is back on the rise, and Tampa Bay is sticking around in the race in baseball's only (practically) three-team division. There has been plenty to look at in the past week and there will continue to be plenty to check out, so let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Monday, July 5, before the day's games.
New York is just holding off the Dodgers by half a game, and the Padres are still in firm command. At least Jason Bay is heating up for the Mets. With Adrian Gonzalez day-to-day, the Mets might be able to do something interesting if their pitching holds, but then again, the Padres have a good staff of their own. In the end, home-field advantage should hold the day.
Atlanta has the majors' best home record (30-10), but Cincinnati has a winning road record (20-17). Cincinnati is just coming off a 14-3 annihilation of the Cubs at Wrigley, so we know they can get it done. Taking it to Atlanta with a non-stop barrage of offense is the way for the Reds to win, since the Braves have not always had a consistent pitching staff.
16-25 on the road? I think we can all agree the Yankees have bought their way one step closer to another title.
Boston couldn't even sweep the Orioles (again), which doesn't bode well. Boston's best hope is to keep everyone injured and empty out Pawtucket, because it seems the more broken Boston gets, the better they get. I shudder to think of the collapse that will occur once Josh Beckett returns to screw up the rotation with his terribleness. Being 29-14 at home, the Rangers can just hold serve and force the Red Sox to pull out something amazing.

The Art of the Pimpossible
Created via word merging, the term pimpossible is a mashup defined, according to Chi-Town comedian DeRay Davis, as anything above and beyond regular pimpin. Its the core concept behind a kind of street-based supercapitalism designed to breed Benjamins by whatever means available, from hawking hubcaps to selling hos. And DeRay has a doctorate in it. Hes hustled weed, rhymes, and threads, although joking remains his most marketable skill.
Originally mentored by fellow South Side natives Bishop Don Juan and funnyman Deon Cole, Davis is on the cusp of mega-pimpdom. Over the past few years, he has starred alongside Eddie Murphy and Cedric the Entertainer, guested on HBOs Entourage, and created skits for Kanye West. Hes also been called the funniest dude alive by O.G. comedy king Katt Williams. So, this Saturday, witness the pimpossible when DeRay bum-rushes the Miami Improv for some freestyle funny stuff. Showtimes are 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. Tickets cost $18.19 plus the usual two-drink minimum.

wikiHow to Stop Saying the Word "Like"
Every language has its own vocabulary of vocalized pauses, which are meaningless words used to keep the conversation flowing smoothly.[1] In English, these are usually "um," "er," "ah," or "you know." In North America, especially among young people, it's common to use the word "like" as a vocalized pause. This became popular with the rise of "Valley-speak," which is a stereotypical manner of speaking that originated in Southern California in the '70s.[2] If you're, like, totally hooked on using the word "like," see Step 1 below to start speaking more professionally and stop being (like, so) annoying.
1Know how the word "like" is supposed to be used. In English, there are only two correct, proper usages for the word "like." These are:
- Similarity - "This tastes like chicken."
- Enjoyment - "I like this movie."
2Pause when you would typically insert "like." Vocalized pauses are just filling places where you don't have anything to say. So, each time you anticipate saying "like," pause instead. This approach works for other vocalized pauses, such as: "um," "er," "ah," and "you know."
- Pausing, rather than saying "like," has the added benefit of making you sound more confident and authoritative.
3Record yourself to see how often you use the word "like" incorrectly. Once you can pinpoint your most common mistakes, it'll be easier to catch yourself in action and make corrections. In any conversation or when speaking freely for a few minutes, you'll probably notice that you misuse "like" in a few noticeable patterns. Make note of these. The most common of these patterns are addressed in the following steps.
4Stop using "like" when quoting someone. Whenever you catch yourself using "like" to put words in someone's mouth, replace it with "said." Better yet, come up with a verb that more specifically describes how the person spoke: yelled, whispered, answered, exclaimed, insisted, etc. Doing this helps your reader or listener imagine what you're describing, so your stories and conversations will be more vivid and enjoyable.
- Incorrect: "He was like, 'Where are you going?' and she was like, 'None of your business!'"
- Correct: "He asked, 'Where are you going?' and she yelled, 'None of your business!'"
5Don't use "like" to approximate. When you're giving a quantity that you're not sure of, you might use the word "like" to indicate that you're guessing or approximating. In this case, it can easily be replaced by the following words: about, approximately, or roughly.
- Incorrect: "She's, like, five feet tall."
- Correct: "She's about five feet tall."
- Incorrect: "You'll need, like, three tablespoons of butter."
- Correct: "You'll need roughly three tablespoons of butter."
6Don't use "like" before adjectives and adverbs. You might also find yourself plugging other fillers such as "so" or "really" in between.
- Incorrect: "He was, like, so tall."
- Correct: "He was tall."
- Incorrect: "She's, like, really irritated."
- Correct: "She's irritated."
7Improve your vocabulary. Your speech might feel "naked" without the word "like" to fill in gaps. The best remedy for this is to become more articulate. Whenever a statement feels plain, try to think of ways you can be more specific or descriptive.
- Bad: "He's like 160 pounds."
- Good: "He's about 160 pounds."
- Better: "He weighs 160 pounds and has a stocky build."
- Bad: "She's, like, really happy with her new job."
- Good: "She's happy with her new job."
- Better: "She's more satisfied with her new job."
8Quit using the word "like" altogether. If you find that you're still having a hard time using "like" correctly, you might want to abandon the word altogether, at least temporarily, just to break the habit. Even though there are ways to use "like" correctly, there are also ways to replace it. In fact, you never need to use "like" - any synonym will do. You can't use the word incorrectly if you don't use it at all! Below are some useful synonyms:
- To convey similarity: Replace "like" with "similar to."
- To convey enjoyment: Replace "like" with "enjoy," "savor," or "love."
9Slow down. Using "like" (or any other vocal filler) while speaking can be a sign that you're speaking more quickly than your brain can think, forcing you to fill time while your mind "catches up." Make an effort to slow your speech down and you may notice that you naturally begin to rely on the word "like" less. It's not easy to change your ingrained speaking habits, but with patient, deliberate practice, you can make substantial progress. Below are just a few tips:
- Take time to breathe after every complete sentence or thought.
- Think about what you're going to say before you say it. It's okay to spend a split second in silence before you respond to someone.
- Try to express one precise, coherent thought per sentence.
10Stick with it! Your vocal habits aren't going to change overnight, but if you're persistent, you will probably notice slow, gradual change. Don't give up! Give yourself plenty of time to improve and you will see results.
- Celebrate your successes. For instance, you may want to see how long you can go without saying the word "like" in an improper way and reward yourself with something you enjoy every time you break your record.
Community Q&A
What form of speech is "like" considered?wikiHow ContributorAs a term of enjoyment, like is used as a verb, or an action word. When saying it as a term of similarity of comparison, it is a preposition.
What other words can I use for like? I have to many "likes" in my paragraph.wikiHow ContributorYou can use "similar to" in the sense of "The noodles were like rubber." When using the word "like" to express approval, as in "I like pie," you can say "I enjoy pie" or "I love pie" or "Pie is awesome." If you're using the word "like" as a filler word, the way this article is talking about, just remove it entirely.
- Fillers (such as "like") will often appear in one's speaking when the pace is quick, as speaking gets ahead of the train of thought. Practice determining a pace that minimizes the occurrence of these fillers.
- Know that relying too heavily on the word "like" makes you sound uncertain or unsure of yourself. When you take this out of your vocabulary, you start sounding more confident of your answers.
- Don't be hard on yourself for being addicted to the word "like." Everybody has done it at least once. Teachers, professors, and even President Obama have had the habit. You're not alone!
- This also applies to the word "actually."
- If you're trying to learn how to sound like a native English speaker, doing the opposite of these instructions might help, but only in informal situations. Using "like" excessively in the workplace can make you seem unprofessional.
- You can have a parent get a jar. Fill it with money (if you have about 50 bucks). If you say "like" incorrectly, you lose 50 cents. If you use "like" correctly, you'll get 50 cents back if you lost any money previously.
- Ask friends, family, and co-workers to let you know whenever you use the word "like" incorrectly. For more encouragement, have them make you put some money in a jar (a quarter, a dollar) every time you say "like."
- Attend a local Toastmasters meeting where someone will count the number of times you use "like," as well as "um" or "ah" for you. (It's free for guests.)
- Slow down your speech so you can replace "like" with other--but not filler!--words until it's a mindset.
- Don't replace "like" with another filler such as "um," "ah," "actually," "basically," "y'know," "and stuff," or "so," especially in the beginning of a sentence or conversation.

Carrier Furnace - out cold :)
I have a model 398AAW Plus 90 Carrier furnace. It quit working yesterday - nice and cold day to go out. Well, I thought it might be a transformer problem, so I replaced the 24volt/40watt transformer in the control box. Same problem. The inducer motor spins freely when nudged with a small screw driver. Today I replaced the control board with a new one. Went from a version 015 to a 021 board. Now the furnace will start up, run for a couple seconds then shut off.
What do I do next?
Hi cheddarhead
Locate the flame sensor, shut the power off to the furnace. The flame sensor will have a single 1/4" screw in it. Remove the screw use a piece of steel wool, scotch brite pad or a wire brush and clean. Reinstall the flame sensor and see if this fixes your problem.
Good luck
Did not see it
I looked for a single screw device - did not see any... Any tips?
I found a device connected to a circuit board behind the gas valve. Two leads going to that. Removed it and gently brushed it off. No change.:(
Hi cheddarhead
I am sorry, the piece you need to pull out will be a stainless steel rod inside the burner compartment. I should have clarified myself a little better.
Good luck
No biggee
Thanks for the replies... By all means feel free to clarify all you want... I am a bit of a newby to all this...
Is this piece under the spark ignitor access? (see, I am a newby)
Hi cheddarhead
Locate the burner box. This is the area with one or two little plastic windows in it, you will normally see flames while the furnace is running in these windows. If you look around the outside of the burner box you will see a piece of procelin with two white wires coming out of it, this is the ignitor. Just opposite of the ignitor will be a porcelin piece with a single white or yellow wire coming off of it, this will be the flame sensor. Please be sure to shut power off to furnace before attempting any kind of a repair.
Good luck
This does not look like that
Hi Rusty!
Well, I took a look for the flame sensor. What you describe is not immediately visible. There is a gas jet for the ignitor, I assume. On that device is a porcelin device like you mention. There is a single RED (big fat red) wire going to it. That wire goes back out to the spark ignitor a bit lower inside. There is another connector there, with three wires. A white, a green, and a yellow. Those wires go back out to the gas valve. There is a component in-line - a diode? a fuse? Could that be an issue?
Time to call the repair man if you are getting cold. :)
Someone suggested replacing the entire gas ignitor / flame sensor assembly. Does thismake sense to you?
BTW - I have secondary heat.. In case Brik wanted to know...
yes sir indeed
How to test ignitor...
Do you know if there is a way to test the ignitor itself? With a multimeter, or voltmeter?
Hi cheddarhead
Sorry I haven't been back to help, I am in the middle of becoming a railroad conductor. Man is this schooling tough. The problem with your furnace is the pilot burner assy. You will need to replace the pilot burner assy if it cannot be cleaned. I would suggest pulling it and cleaning it out. If you have to replace it they are pretty pricy. The part number for your pilot assy. is a LH680005. Sorry it took so long to respond, if you have figured it out already just disreguard this post.
Good luck
Is there any reason to suspect the ignitor is bad? Is there a way to test that as well? with a multimeter/volt meter?
Watch the unit as you have someone turn the termostat up, there should be a breif period were you hear the spark box sending a spark to the pilot (TIC TIC TIC TIC ) then the pilot should light. As the pilot burns it heats up a bi-metal strip, the pilot flame itself should be blue and strong. After a period of time the main gas valve should open and all the burners should lite.
Is any of what I decribed in detail to you taking place?
Hey, thanks for the reply. No, there is no snapping sound at all. That is why I asked about the ignitor. The previous post seems to indicate the pilot assembly, but I want a means to verify the ignitor so I do not chase one problem, only to find it is another instead...
The furnace fan turns on, runs for 2 - 3 seconds, then shuts off. I never see a flame of any kind or hear any snapping sound from the ignitor...

Hello all,
I love this site and am pleased to have joined. I'm researching the incident of 2 Feb 1921 when 2 Black & Tans, William Mitchell & Arthur Hardie, who were based at Dunlavin RIC Barrackcs, set out to rob a local JP (Robt Dixon) and, in the course of the bungled robbery, Hardie shot the JP and his son. Dixon senior died. The next day, Hardie committed suicide, leaving Mitchell, who had gone to the robbery with an unloaded gun, to be tried by court-martial and hanged. A third cousin of mine is related to Mitchell and I am helping her with the family history research. I have a huge amount of information, including trial transcripts, press reports etc., but I still have a couple of mysteries, the answers to which elude me.
A Robert J. Delaney gave evidence and was warned by the court not to say anything which would identify him and his precise role. He let slip however that he had arranged the investigation and an identity parade and that Mitchell had been 'in my charge'. I checked Jim Herlihy's book which lists the RIC officers but there are no Delaneys listed. I checked his other book (at TNA) which lists the constables and I found only a Robert Joseph Delaney [22561] of King's County, recruited at age 23 on 16 Dec 1857 and posted to Co Tipperary in 1858 but resigned in 1860. This is unlikely to be the same man, however, as he would have been aged 87 in 1921. Additionally, four of the constables and seniors who gave evidence prejudicial to Mitchell do not appear in either book nor on the microfiche registers at TNA. I wondered if Delaney might have been an intelligence officer? Would they routinely have used false names (perhaps he was allowed to use a false name just for the court hearing, which was not in camera)? Has anyone else found errors or omissions in Herlihy's lists and the registers? I wondered if the UK recruited B&Ts and auxiliaries were not listed, but I found several of them there, including the notorious 'Major' King of Dublin Castle (F company). Would anyone know who the intel officer for Dunlavin or Wicklow was? Did each barracks have an intel officer in the first half of 1921?
I wondered also about the other constable who was tried for murder and found guilty but insane (Vernon Hart, in Co Cork - I understand his 'insanity' was in fact delirium tremens, brought on by alcoholism). Does anyone know what sentence he got? I believe he did not hang, in fact I understand Mitchell was the only one of the crown forces to be hanged for murder during the Irish War of Independence. If anyone has any information or advice, I should be most grateful.

The Turkish publisher of the best-selling book by Richard Dawkins may wind up in court for daring to publish a book written by an atheist. The prosecutor is investigating whether to charge publisher Erol Karaasian with getting out a book that supposedly incites religious hatred and insults religious values because Dawkins questions the existence of a God. As of this date, the book has sold about 6,000 copies in Turkey.
It is actions such as these which endanger the possibility that Turkey will be accepted into the European Union. The assumption of the Turkish prosecutor is that it is forbidden to insult religion, but perfectly legal to insult those who are atheists. As far as it is know, no Muslim author of leaflets and publications which preach hatred toward Jews or advocate suicide bombing which results in the death of innocent Muslim men, women, and children, has ever been threatened with inciting hatred or violating religious values. One assumes killing children is not justified under any ground in the Muslim religion. This incident also makes one wonder if the Turkish government has better things to do than pester a book publisher who sold 6,000 copies in a nation of millions. If Turkey does not accept European Union standards of freedom of speech and the press they will never be admitted. So, which is it–worry about a book selling 6,000 copies or get into the EU?

Hey crew - I'm a bit stumped on this one. I know propellors are historically a pain in the arse, and now I see why. I've got a single blade propellor set up to spin at 6000 RPMS (physically correct, spins .25 of a degree each frame).
Motion blur with no raytracing, Scanline: Rapid, Shutter: 0.5, Motion Steps: 15
It acts like it's not checking what's happening between frames to see the path it took. I would think spinning this fast with 180degree shutter it should be a big blurry circle, but there's hardly any blur, maybe 1/8th of a circle.
If anyone has any experience in this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Does this sound like your topic?
Case Conclusion Date: 09.28.2012
Practice Area: Immigration
Outcome: Lawful Permanent Residence Approved
Description: Persons entering the United States under the K-1 fiance classification have 90 days to marry and thereafter change their status to that of a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR). The K-1 classification is unique in that you can adjust your status only through the person that you marry. In our case, the couple married within 90 days, but thereafter did not apply to change the spouse's status to a LPR. Years passed and the couple divorced and went their separate ways. The foreign spouse spent almost 30 years thinking that it was impossible to gain LPR despite now being married to another U.S. citizen and having U.S. citizen children and being a successful entrepreneur. In this case, the foreign spouse was partially correct in that he could only become an LPR through the sponsor of the K-1. What was not realized was that even after 30 years of being divorced and having no communication, that the foreign spouse could still adjust through the former spouse. It was a long and hard-fought case where we drafted a well thought-out and argued legal memorandum and had to educate government adjudicators who were not familiar with this area of U.S. immigration law. The end result of our efforts was that our client gained a status that he thought was impossible for 30 years. It was a life changing moment for the entire family and they finally had the peace of mind that comes with knowing that he is legal.

incomplete drain
I am building a new shop and have a 16' trough drain in the floor. The problem is that the bottom of the drain is not cemented. I think the contractor forgot to do it. Would the proper order to build this drain be to do the bottom first with rerod to tie into the walls of the drain in the next step? Is there somewhere I can find commonly accepted construction practices for this type of project?
Can you give a little more info? How wide is the drain, How deep? Where does it go to? What purpose will it be put to? If it is what I have imagined I don't see why you can't simply pour concrete into the bottom and smooth it out at an appropriate slope, but I may not be understanding what's going on.
incomplete drain
The drain is 12" wide and 10" deep. It is a washbay for a shop and has a four inch tube raised 3" which goes to a ditch. There is no rerod to tie the bottom to the sidewalls which will let the bottom eventually separate from the wall.
This will let water get under the drain which I am told could cause cavitation under and around the drain.
Based upon your posts, I visualize a sixteen foot long trench in the [concrete] floor of your shop, the trench being twelve inches wide and ten inches deep. Is this correct?
Somewhere near the exit point of the sixteen foot trench exists a 3 inch tube. This tube collects the wastewater from the sixteen foot trench and then directs that wastewater to a ditch which is located outside of the shop. Is this correct?
You are concerned that the 3 inch tube may not be stable in its present state and would allow wastewater to leak around the tube, thereby eroding the soil around the tube. You would like to secure the 3 inch tube it to the outside wall of your building. Is this correct?
Answers to these questions help us to understand your dilemma. Thanks.
incomplete drain
We are actually using a four inch tube which is not the problem. We have no cement in the bottom of the drain period. You accurately described the type of drain we have. When I brought this to the contractors attention he said he planned on doing it later. All of the other concrete work is complete as far as he is concerned. He left ne rebar or anything to tie the floor of the drain and the walls together. I talked to an engineer today and he said the proper method of construction would be to do the base first with keyway joints and rebar to tie the sides to the base. He said it is also very important to use a water seal tied into the base and walls. If water seaps through the joint it could eventually cavitate under and around the drain and shop floor. I also have a problem with area where my 20' overhead door will seal to the floor. There are several hills and valleys in that span of up to 1/2". My door company says they cannot guaranty the door will seal. The high spots are already at the floor level so grinding is not an option. You can see the foor is uneven very easily and can feel it walking across it. My contractor says the work is good.
Thak You
Your contractor is goofy that's what he is.
The drain IS NOT constructed properly but is not lost. I would compact the soil in the bottom of the drain trough and pour some concrete in there and finish it off smooth. The fact that it isn't tied to the walls is only a minor concern because there is more than enough natural irregularity in the walls that the base casting will lock itself to the walls anyway and won't likely go anywhere.
You could then either hot-mop or cold-tar the base and walls which will seal the junctures and eliminate any cavitating under the trough.
I would allow the bottom of the drain tube to be about two inches above the finished bottom of the trough. This would collect any solids that may get into the trough over time and could be cleaned from time to time. That's better than allowing any water-flow to carry solids into the drain pipe that might settle mid-pipe and cause an obstruction over time. This way the drain tube can't be filled with mud that is being washed from the trough during use.
OK, now that door.
This too is obviously a fiasco but the floor can be ground down slightly. I would strike a straight line equal to the inside of the door and begin grinding the high spots from that line outward and along a path under the door seal. A sharp edge at the point of just inside where the door sits won't hurt anything and the outside can then be ground off to allow water to run away from the door.
Don't let the door company tell you the door can't be adjusted downward a little, that's nonsense, they can all be adjusted from time to time. Of course it won't seal like it is but somebody with a little imagination can make all this work and work properly.
I wouldn't be recommending that concrete guy to any of my friends in the future either.:)
The only other option would be to have the concrete contractor start cutting and removing concrete in both areas and start over and I think he would try to buy-you-off before he went to that trouble for free.:)
I would do the same, but I would dig the trench enough to key on the bottom of the sides and paint on a bonding agent at that joint to seal it.
unfinished drain
Thank you for your suggestions I am taking them into consideration. I have a company coming to look at it tomorrow that does cutting and grinding. A friend who is an engineer said I should also have the corners of the drain cut to avoid the inside corners from cracking. He also said I could do a stainless steel liner in the drain. I had planned for the tube to be about two inches from the bottom of the base so your idea will work. I am thinking on the door of grinding the floor from a couple of inches inside where the door sits to the outer edge at a gradual slope. If they think they can get it sraight. My door guy can lower the door okay. The problem was that the area across the door is really uneven. If we grind it I will try to find some kind of coating for the floor to give it a consistent look. Epoxy? We will have fork lift and skid loader traffic. The contractor was recommended by the people who sold me the steel building. He was also to erect the building. I thought I would have less trouble dealing with one contractor. WRONG! I did not try to do this on the cheap. This is a 60x80building with a ten " foundation, 6" 4000 pound floor,and more steel than a boat headed for china. I have not paid for the concrete yet and have hired someone else to erect the building. The contractor was the first person I have ever fired. Felt Good. Please add anymore ideas you can.
Thank You Sorry This Was So Long
You should hold "retainage" on the contractor in an amount sufficient enough to cover the costs of the corrections of the trough and grinding of the concrete at the door.
Did you pull 'samples' of the concrete at casting time to insure you were getting the mix you contracted for?:)
I am getting esimates on the corrections needed to bring the concrete structure up to an acceptable level. We are taking plaster cast to record the depth of the valleys in the door area. From our measurements it looks like they range up to 5/8 of an inch. These will be accurate records should we need them later. A concrete sawing and cutting company looked at it today and think they can cut it but want the door installed first to gauge off. I am going to have a stainless steel trough consructed that will line the drain area. I did not take samples of the concrete but the mix seemed to be fine. It's just the finish work that's bad. It has since rained here and now I have puddles in several large areas of the building that are up to 3/8 of an inch deep. Is this normally acceptable. I know concrete is difficult material to work with and don't want to be to picky. I paid extra to have this done with riding trowels and lasers. I have not paid for anything yet. They tried to collect saying they were done and expected payment but I discovered the drain was unfinished. They had filled it half full of chunks of cement and trash. Lucky I checked it. Also if anybody knows of a color finish I can use on the floor that will stand up to fork lifts and skid loaders please let me know and I will check it out. I really appreciate all of the help. I didn't think I would have to learn this much about concrete. I was to trusting. It pays to talk to professionals you trust before starting any project.
Thank You
There are "acceptable level & plane tolerences" for the industry but I have no idea what they are for a slab that size. You could locate that information on the Internet by going to one of the concrete organizations and start there.
But for example:
In ceramic tile installation the condition of that slab's surface would have to be within 1/4" in 10' in all directions for it to be considered "in-plane" and acceptable.
As far as a commercial finish product I can recommend the Tennant Company. Years ago I used to install their industrial coatings on concrete warehouse floors in Dallas. All kinds of rubber-tired equipment ran on those floors.

I don't have any windows manager, since (sorry to haven't stated it) I've used ubuntu minimal CD for the Linux base.
I'll try to test in CLI.
Shall I aim to pulseaudio enviroment, right? Anything special I should start from?

It seems that the istructions are failing for the pulseaudio part, in syslog I read
Quote:Apr 25 09:57:55 MenionXBMC pulseaudio[1136]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device=hw:1,3"): initialization failed.
and then the module failed to load.
I've removed from /etc/pulse/default.pa the suggested line load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,3 and now the daemon loads with udev probing.
This is the pacmd output
Quote:2 sink(s) available.
it seems that pulseaudio wants to load module-alsa-card instead. However I did some test with alsa.
I get some problem in having the output, even in analog. For example "speaker-test" gives me the following:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Errore di riproduzione: -2,File o directory non esistente
So I started again from aplay -l
Quote:**** Lista di PLAYBACK dispositivi hardware ****
Sorry for the italian, but it says that the nVidia HDA is the board 1, with devices 0,3,5,7,9
So I modified the asound.conf like this
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:1,3"
rate 48000
Still no sound. Then I played around with speaker-test -Dplughw:1,x, with x=0,3,5,7,9 and I've endup in the fact that I had output with 9!!!!
So I set 9 in the asound.conf and I got sound! There is another thing, that it's really obscure to me: why for the video playback I have to stay with device 3? If I set it to 9 I get "unable to open device", I guess because pulseaudio owns it.
By the way: solved!

in its less extreme, and probably more common forms, street harassment takes a seemingly innocuous tone -- "smile, beautiful," or "hello, gorgeous," comments I'm willing to bet nearly every city-dwelling woman has heard. That tone, which in a normal situation could be taken as complimentary, might lead some to misunderstand the point, as they do in the video above. Some of those interviewed wondered whether some women enjoy being talked to on the street, and regard it as a pick-me-up on a bad day. But it's less about whether anyone enjoys it, and why; it's that men who shout at women, regardless of what they say, are claiming public territory in a way that asserts control. I've lived in many different neighborhoods in New York and now live in D.C., where I regularly run along city streets, and I've heard the full range of talk from men. The fact of it -- and the fact that being shouted at by men is not a possibility but a certainty -- is inherently hostile and all seems designed, unconsciously or not, to make me feel not as though these men want to talk to me but that they have a right to.
I used the construction worker example, incidentally, because I'd seen the stereotype depicted for years on TV and in movies. It wasn't until I moved to Philadelphia, though, that I actually witnessed construction workers calling out to attractive women passing by on the streets. I confess: I don't get it. Do these guys think that's actually a way to get laid? (I have the same question about Brett Favre sending pictures of his penis to an attractive woman?) Two possibilities exist: They do think it'll help them get laid, in which case they're just stupid. Or they don't think so, and they really are just harassing women in a public space. If that's the case, what's to be done? I'm not inclined to criminalize every uncomfortable interaction in the public sphere, but this is ridiculous.

Rihanna and drake on or off?
On July 1, 2016, image website Fans share reported that Drake claimed that Rihanna was breaking his heart. He gave the statement during Rihanna's function in Manchester.
Both celebrities have not yet declared their feelings about one another, but rumors have been circulating that they are dating since the year 2009. Rihanna is yet to respond to the allegations, but it is pretty clear that Drake adores her as the most talented woman he knows.
Rihanna and the starship enterprises costar are set to release the first ever video shot with Imax cameras. This video features Rihanna performing magic out in the space and also the starship enterprises which is directed by David Bowie and Katy Perry.
The name of the song is the "sledgehammer". At the end of the video clip released, she turns into a celestial god. The tune is not yet released, but the hit will land in theaters in July 2016.
Rihanna showed gratitude to her loyal fans caught in the rain before her concert held in the Manchester, UK. She bought 20 boxes of pizza some being signed by herself. The fans were waiting outside the emirate old Trafford stadium when it started raining ahead of the show.
'this is what you came for' Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris became the 25th Rihanna's song to lead in the Songs Club Songs Chat, making her the second artist ranking on the list of the number ones of all times. This song is her second number one in 2016 after "Work" featuring Drake. The most anticipated sledgehammer might be her 26th in the month of July 2016.

When pharmaceutical companies release dangerous and defective drugs into the marketplace, patients who are injured as a result may be able to take legal action. Typically, these lawsuits allege that a pharmaceutical company made a drug that was somehow defective – either in design, manufacturing or marketing. A drug suffers from a marketing defect if the company failed to properly warn patients or doctors about a certain side effect.
It's important to note that most lawsuits involving pharmaceutical drugs aren't class action lawsuits, but rather individual lawsuits filed by one person with the help of his or her attorney. (You can find out why drug lawsuits aren't suited for class action litigation by reading this article.)
If you've been injured by any of the drugs listed below, get in touch with us today by filling out this form. There's no cost or obligation to contact us or to talk to an attorney about whether you can file a lawsuit.
According to a 2013 FDA safety communication, there is "clear evidence of an association" between Benicar and a gastrointestinal (GI) condition known as sprue-like enteropathy, a disease with symptoms commonly associated with celiac disease.
Women who took Depakote during pregnancy and delivered a child with birth defects may have legal recourse to collect compensation for medical care and other losses.
Antidepressant Effexor has been linked to birth defects of the heart, spine and abdomen.
Women across the country have filed lawsuits against Lexapro's manufacturer, Forest Labs, Inc., accusing the company of releasing a defective drug into the marketplace.
Paxil is an anti-depressant used in patients with depression and anxiety disorders. Unfortunately, some young patients taking the drug have developed suicidal tendencies, while mothers on the anti-depressant have delivered infants with birth defects.
Risperdal was the first drug approved by the FDA to treat adolescents with schizophrenia. The drug is also used in combination with other drugs to treat depression.
Attorneys across the country are considering filing lawsuits on behalf of men who used AndroGel and other testosterone therapies in light of new information linking the products to heart attack, stroke and death in users.
Since 2011, mothers have been filing lawsuits against the maker of Topamax, Janssen Pharmaceuticals alleging that the antiepileptic drug is defective and can cause infants to develop cleft lips or cleft palates when taken during pregnancy.
Lawsuits have been filed alleging that the popular blood thinner Xarelto can cause serious and irreversible internal bleeding.
Hundreds of women have taken legal action against Pfizer Inc., the manufacturer of Zoloft, after delivering infants with congenital birth defects and malformations.
It has been alleged that Tylenol, even when taken as recommended, can cause liver failure.
If you were prescribed Zofran for morning sickness and your child was born with a birth defect, you may be eligible to receive compensation through a lawsuit.
Lawsuits are being filed on behalf of patients who took fluoroquinolone antibiotic drugs, such as Levaquin or Avelox, and developed a specific type of nerve damage known as peripheral neuropathy.
Women across the country have filed lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson alleging that the company's talcum powders can cause ovarian cancer when used near the genitals.
Women who used Lipitor and were later diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes are now filing lawsuits against the drug's manufacturer, demanding compensation for their injuries.
Hair loss drug Propecia has reportedly been linked to erectile dysfunction and other sexual side effects which can last months or years after stopping use of the drug. Prostate cancer and male breast cancer have also been reported among patients taking Propecia.
If you used Bravelle between March 2014 and October 2015, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the maker of the fertility drug for the money you spent on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatments.
Abilify users are filing lawsuits alleging that the drug caused them to develop compulsive gambling habits and that the drug's maker is legally responsible. The suits claim that Bristol-Myers Squibb failed to adequately test the drug and failed to warn patients and doctors about this side effect.
Across the country, women who received Taxotere during chemotherapy are filing lawsuits saying that they permanently lost their hair because of the drug. They're seeking compensation from the manufacturer for mental suffering, therapy bills and their inability to return to work.
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org would like to speak with anyone who purchased Kirkland Signature's Wild Alaskan Fish Oil from Costco. They have reason to believe the supplement contains a substantially lower amount of omega fatty acids than its label advertises.
Attorneys have reason to believe that many glucosamine supplements don't contain any glucosamine sulfate at all. They want to determine whether class action lawsuits can be filed – but first need to speak with people who bought the products.
Attorneys have reason to believe products were sold with a far lower amount of hypericin – the active ingredient in St. John's Wort – than the products' labels claimed. These St. John's Wort supplements advertised that they contained .9 mg of hypericin. Independent lab tests, however, show less.
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org have reason to believe garcinia cambogia supplements don't live up to their advertised claims regarding fat burning, appetite control and weight loss.
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into a possible class action on behalf of consumers who purchased any of the following milk thistle products from Costco. They suspect these products may not be as effective at supporting liver health as their labeling claims.
Attorneys across the country are investigating whether lawsuits can be filed against Janssen Pharmaceuticals over its Type 2 diabetes drug Invokana and its link to ketoacidosis.
