From Westward plastics group to Brissco: Plastic has Come of Age

Pieter Sax 11 years ago 0
Westward to Brissco

The first time plastic came into the mass consciousness of people was in that scene in the 1967 movie, The Graduate, where a businessman advises Ben, the newly-graduated character of Dustin Hoffman, with this iconic line, “Just one word: Plastics. . . . There’s a great future in it.”

Well, the future has indeed come – in fact, a long time ago – even as early as the 30’s when the first polystyrene was made by BASF. Modern society would not have progressed as rapidly as it has without plastics. Think of the toys, furniture, appliances, textiles, computers, cars, planes, houses, buildings and factories that use plastic in one way or one form or another.

If Ben, or any other enterprising individual, had followed that prophetic advice in 1967, he or she would have become a billionaire by now. With that “one word”, life today has been made not just clean, colourful, convenient and comfortable but also affordable, replaceable and durable.

Plastic as building component is one of Brissco’s main supply materials. Building plastics has various applications for domestic, commercial and industrial use. Name it, the possibilities are unlimited by our imagination. Or as the website says: Brissco “offers a wide selection of products to suit every need”. Whether it is new installations or constructions or replacement of existing building parts, Brissco delivers. Examples are: uPVC fascias, polycarbonate roofing sheets, canopies and walkways.

Plastic gutters and pipes are especially crucial in roof systems. Although essentially hidden or invisible to most of us, they provide an essential function to buildings. Brissco’s rainwater systems, in fact, offer a wide choice of profile design, both traditional and modern, in a variety of colours to suit all tastes and applications. These systems are made of a material which is not readily flammable and will not support combustion. Most of all, these products, including pipes and fittings, comply with the material requirements of government technical standards.

Ben was a fictional character in a movie. Yet the idea planted into his mind was real and is now a reality in our times. One word that we all need to know and appreciate, if not make or save money out of is: Plastics.

Expose dynamic submenus through API

S. Tramer 12 years ago 0

It would be great if plugin developers could take advantage of allowing dynamic population of submenus - this would have tons of advantages for showing/navigating content that might be loaded by the plugin.

Life Settlement - Crown Alliance Capital

fajarhakim28 12 years ago 0

A Life Settlement is the purchase of a life insurance policy at a discount from face value from a person who no longer needs or wants the policy.

The policy owner receives a lump sum settlement and the title for the policy is transferred to a third party, which pays the future premiums due on the policy and eventually collects the death benefit. Previously, the only other option for seniors was for a policy to lapse. Then it was observed that the difference between what a policyholder could receive for surrendering their policy versus the fair market value for their policy is simply astounding. A 2002 study by the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania found that while the surrender value for average policyholders amounted to a total of 93.4 million dollars, the fair market value for policy holders amounted to $336.3 million dollars combined.¹ This represents a shocking 360% difference between the cash surrender value and selling the policy as a Life Settlement; and the same still holds true today. This is a principal reason why this “Asset Class” has been so popular with “Smart Money” (institutional investors) and now available to our investors through investing in Crown Alliance Capital Limited.

¹ (The Benefits of a Secondary Market for Life Insurance Policies by Neil A. Doherty and Hal J. Singer)

Life Settlements became more sophisticated as actuarial techniques and advanced financial analysis were implemented during the underwriting process. The senior population has redefined the life insurance settlement industry, expanding the industry into a multi-billion dollar market. The industry today is almost entirely comprised of a few mainstream capital sources that have revolutionized the speed and scale of the secondary insurance market. The industry has also become more specialized with seniors working with financial advisors, brokers and a number of ancillary and service providers. Life Settlements are potentially very profitable because the purchaser acquires a policy at a discount from the face value, which is based on the insured person’s life expectancy and the purchaser’s desired return on capital. The potential rates of return can be in excess of 12-15%

Bug when using the default comment snippet with html <style>

RKS 12 years ago 0

Sorry if this is a duplicate, I searched but didn't come up with anything.

When you have <style></style> in the head section of your html document and try to command+/ it returns the expected behavior of <!-- <style></style> -->


However, if you have some CSS in there like:


<style>

    body { height: 100%; }

</style>


and you command+/ on the <style> tag, it will return /*<style>*/ which won't comment it out in the html doc. Selecting the whole group will also wrap the group in /**/ instead of <!-- -->.

I'd like to be able to call sublime.load_settings() outside the main thread; this is useful for things that start off, say, build processes to automatically catch build errors.

After exceeding threshold of n open tabs, remove the least recently used tab

Edvard Majakari 13 years ago updated by adzenith 12 years ago 1
Simply, kill the least recently selected tab, if number of tabs exceeds the configured value (could be by default say, 64 or so, in order to not baffle users who don't want this feature).

I usually work with the window split in two (cmd+opt+2), and the number of tabs grows quickly too large (say, over 15 tabs or so) and I can't see the ones I'm actually working with.

It'd be really nice if the least recently used were killed automatically, and the user could specify this number. It could default to 100 or so, so that users not wishing this feature would still see all the tabs (files) they have
opened.
