15. Joel readies the four-link suspension and rear axlehousing for installation. He suggests attaching the lower control arms to the axlehousing first. The coilovers have been bolted to the chassis, which makes securing them to the axlehousing easier.

Friedman Industries, Incorporated engages in steel processing, pipe manufacturing and processing, and steel and pipe distribution activities in the United States. The company purchases hot-rolled steel coils; processes the coils into flat, finished sheet, and plate; and sells these products on a wholesale basis. It also manufactures, purchases, processes, and markets tubular products, including line and oil country pipes, as well as pipes for structural and other miscellaneous applications. The company offers its coil products and processing services primarily to steel distributors and customers fabricating steel products, such as storage tanks and containers, steel buildings, construction equipment, transportation equipment, and other similar products; and tubular products principally to steel and pipe distributors through its own sales force. Friedman Industries, Incorporated was founded in 1965 and is based in Longview, Texas.

“Do what we did,” Escher said. “Investigate it, look at other projects that have used it and talk to contractors who have installed it. You’ll find the same things I did: it’s tough, it’s lightweight, leaks are almost non-existent, and it has a built-in insulation value that may allow you to reduce the thickness of the insulation. In addition, the lack of flame and welding makes it very well-suited for retrofit projects.”

“No one today thinks of Socrates as a solar-energy promoter, for example. Yet never in history has there been a stronger or more eloquent advocate for the use of solar building principles. Xenophon, a disciple of Socrates, presented in a Socratic dialogue the philosopher’s belief that the art of ‘building houses as they ought to be’ was firmly based on the principle ‘that the same house must be both beautiful and useful.’

I agree, you replace it with something much better. Cozy, energy-efficient buildings and personal energy security and independence.

This month, Phillips also announced our government’s commitment to facilitate a $100-million investment for more solar plants. Among other incentives the government has guaranteed $48/MWh. We were told that these will create “green” jobs. Consider that most of the subsidized “green jobs” in Alberta will be: unpacking containers, assembly/erection and using squeegees to clean the panels. The real jobs will be in China, Germany or Denmark. Meanwhile, we lose several jobs in our real economy that has created the “Alberta Advantage.”

Joel Rode of Hot Rod Specialties has taken delivery of the chassis, disassembled it, had it powdercoated, reassembled it, and performed the body drop. The car is now in a Southern California body shop being prepped and painted in a delicious two-tone scheme. It will be returned to Hot Rod Specialties for final assembly once the body is in paint.

“Builders have long known that heat claims the lion’s share of the energy consumed in Canadian homes: 57 percent of the total, compared with 24 percent for hot water, 13 percent for appliances and 5 percent for lighting. They’ve also known that heat escapes wherever air escapes, mostly under doors or around windows. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that builders became aware of just how much heat leaks through these gaps.

Five million HEK293T cells were transfected with an shRNA expression vector together with pLP1 (encodes Gag and Pol), pLP2 (encodes Rev), and pLP-VSV-G (encodes the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein [VSV-G]) (ViraPower Lentiviral Gateway Expression kit, catalog no. K496000; Invitrogen) at an equimolar ratio. Forty-eight hours after transfection, the cell supernatant was transferred into a 10-cm tissue-culture-treated petri plate containing 2.5 million HEK293T cells. Five hours after infection, fresh medium was applied. Forty-eight hours after infection, transduced HEK293T cells were selected by culturing in medium supplemented with 3 μg/ml puromycin. The puromycin-supplemented medium was replaced every 3 days until surviving cell populations expanded. Where specified, cell lines were induced to express shRNAs by incubation in medium containing doxycycline at a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml. Depletion of target proteins was confirmed by Western blotting.

And in conjunction with that, also because of the pullback in the industry, the share repurchase program took the top priority. And as we said, we continue to have $50 million left on the previous board authorization. So let me say, turn it over to Jim, maybe some comments on the preferred?

Shi Qixuan, a 17-year-old boy who spent a couple of years in Guangdong and Xiamen as a child, wanders in. On his phone, he shows me the free software he has downloaded to “jump the wall” and look at mainland-blocked sites when in Xiamen. All three of the students use similar software. “Though it’s still slowed down sometimes,” Shi says. To keep in touch with Chinese friends, they use WeChat, a mainland app; for their Taiwanese friends, it’s the Japanese app Line. (There is an affection for Japan in Taiwan—another, not insignificant, difference with China. Taiwanese remember the Japanese mainly as relatively benign colonizers of the island from 1895 to 1945; in popular memory, they are much better behaved than Chiang’s Nationalist government which followed them.)
