Le turkmène (autonyme : , ) est une langue appartenant au groupe des langues turques parlée par plus de six millions de personnes en Asie centrale, principalement au Turkménistan, où il est la langue nationale, et dans les pays voisins (Iran, Afghanistan…).

Prononciation et écriture

Alphabet

Le turkmène a été écrit avec un alphabet arabe adapté, puis avec un alphabet latin jusqu'en 1940. L'État soviétique force alors l'adoption d'une variante de l'alphabet cyrillique pour l'écriture du turkmène. Depuis le , l'alphabet officiel est une variante de l'alphabet latin avec quelques diacritiques, proche de celui du turc.

L'alphabet cyrillique turkmène utilisait également les lettres Ё, Э, Ю, Я (correspondant à ýo, e, ýu, ýa), ainsi que Ц, Щ, Ъ et Ь dans des mots empruntés au russe.

Harmonie vocalique
L'harmonie vocalique, commune à la plupart des langues turques, est présente en turkmène. Selon ce principe, les voyelles sont séparées en deux classes : les voyelles claires (ä, e, i, ö, ü) et les voyelles sombres (a, y, o, u). En principe, il ne peut y avoir que des voyelles d'une seule classe au sein d'un même mot ; pour cette raison, les suffixes ont généralement au moins deux formes. Ainsi, le suffixe du pluriel peut être -lar ou -ler : guş (« oiseau ») donne guşlar et gün (« jour ») donne günler.

Certains suffixes peuvent avoir quatre voyelles différentes : c'est par exemple le cas du suffixe possessif de la première personne du singulier qui a les formes suivantes (s'il est ajouté à un mot qui se termine par une consonne) :
 -ym après a ou y,
 -im après ä, e ou i,
 -üm après ö ou ü,
 -um après o ou u.

L'harmonie vocalique souffre de nombreuses exceptions, en raison des nombreux mots empruntés au persan, à l'arabe et au russe (par exemple kitap, « livre », issu de l'arabe, comporte une voyelle claire et une sombre). Dans ce cas, c'est la dernière voyelle qui est prise en compte pour le choix des suffixes (kitaplar).

Assimilation
Les consonnes voisées s'assourdissent en fin de mot ou de syllabe : -b devient -p, -d devient -t, etc. En revanche, les consonnes -p, -t, -k et -ç se voisent devant un suffixe commençant par une voyelle longue (dans les mots mono- et dissyllabique) : at (« nom ») donne adym (« mon nom »).

Les suites de lettres zd et nd (qui peuvent apparaître lors de l'ajout d'un suffixe) se prononcent respectivement zz et nn.

Grammaire
Le turkmène, comme les autres langues turques, est une langue agglutinante qui utilise de nombreux suffixes. Il n'a pas de genre grammatical mais il distingue le singulier et le pluriel. Il possède six cas : nominatif, accusatif, datif, génitif, locatif, ablatif.

Noms
Comme dit précédemment, les suffixes du pluriel sont -lar ou bien -ler. Dans les mots se terminant par -i ou -y, la dernière voyelle devient -ü ou -u : süri (« troupeau ») devient sürüler.

Suffixes possessifs
En turkmène, la possession est indiquée par un suffixe qui s'ajoute à l'objet possédé. Ces suffixes ont plusieurs formes : quand le mot se termine par une consonne, le suffixe commence par une voyelle et inversement.

Le suffixe possessif se place après le suffixe du pluriel, le cas échéant. Dans un mot qui se termine par -e, cette voyelle est remplacée par -ä- aux première et deuxième personnes. Quelques exemples :
 öý : « maison » → öýüň : « ta maison » ;
 gül : « fleur » → gülleri : « ses fleurs » ou « leurs fleurs » ;
 köçe : « rue » → köçämiz : « notre rue » ;
 dost : « ami » → dostum : « mon ami ».

Suffixes de cas
Les cas sont indiqués par des suffixes attachés aux noms. Ces suffixes ont eux aussi plusieurs formes, selon l'harmonie vocalique et la dernière lettre du mot.

Certains cas provoquent des changements dans le radical :
 un -e en fin de mot devient -ä- devant les terminaisons de l'accusatif et du génitif ;
 dans les mots dissyllabiques, -i et -y deviennent -ü- et -u- devant le suffixe de l'ablatif ;
 au datif, si le mot se termine par -e, -ä ou -i, la terminaison est -ä ; -y devient -a et les autres voyelles sont inchangées.

Vocabulaire

Pronoms personnels
Le turkmène a six pronoms personnels. Le pronom siz est équivalent au « vous » français : il permet de s'adresser à plusieurs personnes et de vouvoyer.

Numéraux

Les nombres se forment en juxtaposant ces numéraux : on bir (11), otuz üç (33), ýetmiş dört (74), etc.

Zach Wilson Leaves Jets' Preseason Opener at Philly with Knee Injury
HC Robert Saleh: 'No Update Yet ... We're Going to Wait on the MRI to Get More Details' Saturday
Robert Saleh wasn't tipping his hand much regarding the status of quarterback Zach Wilson's right knee, injured during a non-contact dive late in the first quarter at Philadelphia on Friday night.
"No update yet. We're going to wait on the MRI to get more details tomorrow," the head coach told reporters following the Jets' interesting 24-21 double-comeback victory over the Eagles whose intrigue paled in relation to Wilson's second knee injury in less than a year. "We'll wait till tomorrow. I'm not going to put anything out there, just let it play out and we'll see it tomorrow."
Hours earlier, Wilson didn't open his second preseason as quarterback of the Jets against the Eagles the way he surely expected to. He generated no points and 33 yards of offense in his only two series of the night. His first series ended on his first interception since last December.
And his second possession ended, for him, at the end of a 7-yard scramble, with 3:43 left in the opening period, from which he came up limping.
Wilson appeared to injure his right leg on a non-contact cut back inside rather than taking the ball out of bounds. He was helped up by a teammate, hobbled back toward the huddle, then sat down on the field before he got there. After an extended conversation with the Jets medical staff on the turf, he got up, walked off the field and into the team's Lincoln Financial Field locker room, all under his own power and all without a limp.
Word came a few minutes later that Wilson had injured his right knee, with no word on how severe it is. Afterwards, Saleh said he understood the knee was stable but other than that gave no details of what the team's medical staff determined.
"I'm still optimistic. That's s never going to change with me. ... I'll keep saying my nightly prayers and we'll see what happens," Saleh said, adding that in the locker room following the win, Wilson "was in good spirits, he's fine. A little frustrated but as good as you can be in these situations."
Wilson's stat line for his short night's work: 3-for-5 passing for 23 yards, one interception and no sacks and that one rush for 7 yards. He left the game with the Jets trailing the Eagles, 14-0. But with Joe Flacco on the sideline and not in uniform, Mike White came on at QB and led the offense on that drive to a 26-yard field goal by Eddy Piñeiro to trim that deficit to 14-3 with 1:28 gone at the start of the second quarter, then to a fighting 2-yard touchdown run off left tackle by undrafted rookie Zonovan Knight in the third quarter.
Finally, recently signed journeyman QB Chris Streveler came on for more action than he no doubt anticipated. He led the Jets offense from behind twice — first on a 10-play, 69-yard drive to a fourth-and-a-foot play-action dart to rookie TE Jeremy Ruckert for a 17-14 lead with 8:10 to go, then to a 5-yard line drive to rookie WR Calvin Jackson in the back of the end zone for the 24-21 lead with 16 seconds to play.
Wilson's INT was picked off by LB Kyzir White on a toss over the middle intended for veteran WR Corey Davis. It was the first pick Wilson had thrown since Game 12 of last regular season, at MetLife Stadium ... against, as it turns out, the Eagles, with S Marcus Epps making that theft. Wilson had gone 158 game passing attempts in between interceptions. That streak, of course will be restarted at 155 straight throws without a pick when Wilson returns to the field for the regular season.
And Saleh, OC Mike LaFleur and the rest of the Jets coaches, players and fans hope Zach's return is sooner than later.
"Anytime your starting quarterback goes down, especially in a preseason game, it's a bummer," White said. "First of all, we were all worried about Zach as a friend. Then from a team standpoint, we wanted to know how the starting quarterback is.
"It was great seeing him in the locker room after the game. He was in good spirits, talking with the guys and celebrating with the team. But we've all got to wait and see."

Alberta govt to construct another WCS processing refinery
Started by Jan van Eck , December 14 2018
new refining capacity
canada oil politics
I had previously predicted that the Canadian government would end up pushed into building internal domestic refining capacity instead of shutting in WCS oilsands crude. The reason is that WCS will end up priced out of international markets, and as contributor WIlliam Edwards has predicted, that would result in a shut-in of the highest cost producer, in this case Alberta. For Canada generally, and Alberta specifically, that is an impossible result; hence, Canada would do their own and effectively create an internal captive market.
To quote from today's Oilprice article by Irina Slav:
The fact is these production cuts are not the only bullish factor for Canadian crude. Earlier this week, Premier Notley said that Alberta planned to build a refinery in a bid to process more crude locally rather than send it by costly rail south to Gulf Coast refiners, reducing the risk of another price shock like the one that prompted the cuts.
What I had incorrectly predicted was that I calculated that the initiative would come from the Federal Govt; instead, it is coming directly from the Province itself (whether or not they will insist on Federal participation in the capital costs is yet another thing).
From the article, the last refinery cost 7.2 billion and is only producing 50,000 bpd of diesel. That one is called the North Sturgeon Upgrader. That is a ton of money; but the alternative, no customer for Canadian crude, is anathema. I predict Canada, or the Province, will spend the money. Probably a better investment than attempting a twinning of that pipeline to Vancouver, to deliver oil to a terminal at which there are no buyers.
Andrew Sun + 16
Hey Jan, thank you for pointing this out. Please give us some much needed education.
I know Inter Pipeline is building a $3.1 billion refiner in Alberta. How does it compared to the $7.2 billion North Sturgeon Upgrader? How do they compare to the refiners already in operation from the fully integrated producers, such as ones operated by Suncor?
19 hours ago, Andrew Sun said:
Andrew, I am not tied in to the Alberta scene, I have limited connections personally there. What I can tell you is that the North Sturgeon Upgrader is mis-named; it is not an Upgrader, it is a full-fledged refinery. A good chunk of the output is diesel, which is used and sold internally in Alberta. Another chunk of output is diluent, specifically intended to make it possible to send oilsands crude in diluted form down that pipeline to Vancouver Harbor in BC. Other components include naphtha and propane, sold locally. The refinery is so expensive because it is a seriously fancy installation, with a "carbon-capture" add-on to capture CO2, which in turn is sent down some pipeline to the mature Alberta fields down in the South, basically south of Calgary (the North Sturgeon is maybe 40 miles outside Edmonton). So there all these extras for several extra billion that got spent. The feedstock is the oil collected by the Province as an extraction royalty, apparently.
There are four existing processing refineries up and running, the North Sturgeon is the most expensive by far. I am unsure of the parameters of the Suncor unit, it may well be a simple upgrader, not a complete refinery. You have these operational difficulties, running a refining tower in bitterly cold weather, and you need heat to do the process, so you end up using a lot more feedstock for heat than you would in say Louisiana. It is not an ideal environment to attempt to operate a refinery. But, since there are all these problems getting the crude to some market, it looks like refineries are going to be built there nonetheless.
Small refineries are known in Canada. You have several quite small units, at about 15,000 bbl/day, sitting out in Newfoundland. At one time a much larger unit was built at the time of Joey Smallwood (premier), it was intended as a balancing refinery to be able to quickly deliver additional supplies of either diesel or gasoline to either the US or European markets. Very serious design defects were made and salt water used as coolant was left inside the towers, so it all corroded away. I think the entire refinery ended up scrapped. Some of the small ones are apparently still used or usable. So there is precedent for a small 15,000 bpd installation.
The long-planned pipeline to run from Alberta across the Northern Ontario shield and then across Quebec and into Nova Scotia for their two refineries, and to St. John New Brunswick for the Irving installation, has been panned by the current PQ premier, and even without his negativism that pipeline would have to run on a path well beyond the old Trans Canada along the Lake Superior shore. It would likely follow along the path of Highway 11 through Hearst and Kapuskasing, then the PQ Route 117 past Rouyn-Noranda. That is seriously cold country, either you heat the pipe along the run or you have to bury it, and the frost line is probably eight feet below the surface if not more. The problem is that there is little soil; it is a thin soil layer over pre-Cambrian rock, so you have to drill and blast the whole length, then bring in sand as a bed for the pipe. It gets seriously expensive. It would be a lot cheaper to twin one of the rail lines and use that as a dedicated rail path, using tank cars. But since everybody has this mindset about building pipe, that is where the conflicts will continue.
Any new refinery being built or planned to be built in Alberta will be some bare-bones affair, you can forget about carbon-capture stuff for CO2, nobody is going to spend another 1.2 billion for that. The Sturgeon unit will provide all the CO2 needed to push the mature wells down south, so even if somebody put in a second carbon-capture unit, there would be no market for the gas. With capital scarce, any refinery being built at this point will be done for the specific purpose of developing diesel and jetfuel. There is a market for it right on their doorstep, and having customers motivates producers. Anyway, that's my guess. Cheers.
William Edwards + 693
The major difference in our views, Jan, is quantity. Your suggestion that Canada can refine all of its crude production and move the products into the local market doesn't match the numbers. Domestic demand is on the order of 1.5 million barrels a day, while production is closing in on three times that quantity. Domestic refineries running Canadian crude now supply 1 million barrels a day of Canadian demand, leaving 3.5 million barrels a day to be handled. If you force the Eastern Canadian refineries to back out imports and run Canadian crude, regardless of cost and quality, you still have more than 2.5 million barrels a day of Canadian crude to dispose of. Either you export it or you shut it in. If you build more gold-plated refining capacity, like the Northwest Upgrader, which actually cost more than $10 billion for 0.05 million barrels a day of product, you still have to export the product. Canadian demand has been filled in the base case.
The real problem is how Canada can compete to remain the supplier of 4.5 million barrels a day of the world's supply. You can consume only a third of that supply locally. The remainder must compete successfully with desperate sellers from all over the rest of the world to supply the non-Canadian market. Whatever quantity is not competitive, or sold at a loss, will be shut in, as Premier Notley has already implemented.

3 hours ago, William Edwards said:

^ yep.
Sure you can.
What you fellows are all overlooking is that refined oils have other uses, displacing other sources.
Specifically, Canada has always had a thriving plastics industry. While there is one manufacture of plastics resins inside Canada, a large volume is imported, there to be converted by processors into finished products: auto parts by injection molding, blow molding of bottles, resins casting, even rotational molding of large objects such as marine paddle-boards. You can displace these imports of resins by using domestic oils for base feedstocks.
There are others. Quite a bit of heating, especially in Quebec, is done electrically, because of a devalued price. There is nothing to stop displacing electric baseboard heating with oil heat, and the electricity sold in the US export market. It requires re-jiggering of price signals, but it is not as if that cannot be accomplished.
Further, yet another large market for Canadian crude, converted into diesel, is marine. There is quite a bit of shipping into the Canadian ports of Vancouver, Montreal and Halifax (plus a lot of secondary ports that handle bulk cargoes). As the Canadian currency is devalued relative to the dollar, there is and will be effective 2020 a large market for marine diesel. Right now Trans-Atlantic ships into Canada will fuel up in the bunker port of Rotterdam, but that trade is about to undergo a tectonic shift as bunker becomes an obsolete fuel.
Another prime market for Canadian refined is aircraft jetfuel. The jetfuel business (and its piston equivalent, 100LL) is arcane, while there are a very few refineries that specialize in jetfuel and 100LL, it remains an outlier, and there is nothing to stop grabbing market share, and all of the Canadian share, of jetfuel, an expanding product.
A further market is the production of naptha. This is an interesting feedstock for a variety of other products, and again, remember that as long as the Canadian Dollar is floating at a discount of 1/3 off the US Dollar, the Canadian products have a built-in costing edge, and the savvy seller can snap off nice chunks of market share. Plus, a cheap feedstock will allow for the development of downstream industries to absorb production of naptha.
You can fit 4.5 million barrels into a 1.5 million barrel bucket - if you make the bucket larger. It takes a broader mindset. Production is not a zero-sum game. Cheers.

Domestic demand is on the order of 1.5 million barrels a day, while production is closing in on three times that quantity.
William, I have responded at length on this in a responsive post to Dan. Check around for it. Cheers.

I read it, Jan. I still think that you are still about five years and 2 million barres a day short of full replacement. Thanks for your thoughts though. Production shut-in is much quicker and more effective.
1 minute ago, William Edwards said:
All true. By the same token, a manufacturer is more rapidly served by production shut-in of his factory products than to get out there and hustle for new business. Historically, I have never shut down a production line. If I find I have excess capacity of a product, I get off my duff and go find new customers for that product. It is called "sales." It seems to be a lost art.
I completely agree, Jan. What Alberta needs to do is recognize the competitive challenge, develop an understanding of the scope of the problem, and get off their duff and start working the problem. Actually, I have been trying to get that message through their skulls for more than five years. Their skulls are too dense, it would seem.

I have lived and worked in the oil industry in Alberta for many years and am retired since 2006. But, Rachel Notley is doing what anyone in her position as the first non conservative Premier after 44 years!
Here is what she is doing IMHO. Promoting the refining despite the huge costs and time to market. It will not fly today but could when the companies have the capital . It's a long shot for any company to spend so much now.
What I would like you guys to comment on is UPGRADERS . There had been several shelved also due to our high capital costs.
The new technology which should roll out soon is PARTIAL UPGRADING (PU) .The AB government has provided a billion in 5 years for this to be completed and have, in September already, received bids from current and future experimenters. All will have to be and will be possible at a much lower capital cost. Advantages of PU are numerous. 30 percent more pipeline space is the most obvious.
What have you guys heard about this? Anything?
Paul, making money is an art form, it is not learned in some MBA school, that is a charade. The art, or skill, of making money is a bit like the old guild systems of the Medieval Period. It is an (unspoken) skill set that remains with the previous generation, and is passed on from father to son. The art form is learned, and by definition is totally elitist. And that is why it is so in disrepute in a society that has adopted the rationalizations of being a meritocracy, which is where the USA and Canada are today.
Going with membership in the club that understands the art of making money is an understanding that one is privileged, yet another concept that is held in scorn in the meritocracy. Yet, in the old school, the privileged understood that those privileges also encompassed deep social obligations. Those obligations included charity, where the rich, the successful members of the Guild, would support by large gifts of that money various social projects that governments either would not or could not. Some obvious examples of noblesse oblige are in the huge gifts handed to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where very rich have donated entire building wings on their nickel. You will see large contributions to all manner of charitable programs, and of course to elitist universities. It is not for nothing that the Endowment of Harvard is running at about $35 billion.
One of the major structural problems in today's societies, and you get this around the globe, is that the very rigid parameters of the memberships of these money guilds have broken down. You still see it in some places; I went to a very exclusive and elite prep school as a youth, and one classmate of mine recently paid for two new buildings on the campus, each at $50 million. He just writes the check. What this does is allow the next generation of the money makers be ell educated, in areas both of basic science and of old-master literature and philosophy, and that is well before college, this is at the high-school level. So the sons of the old money-makers always have a massive advantage over everybody else, they not only learn from their own fathers the art of making money, but also grow up in an environment where literally everyone they are with is from the same group. And the values of that old school are thus passed forward, including the value of the obligation of sharing, of philanthropy, and of obligation.
Unfortunately the social shift to Meritocracy is wrecking that value system, and now you see the phenomenon of the Oligarchs, especially in places such as Russia, Ukraine, China, Mexico. These are smart people who have picked up on some of the concepts of making money but, because they never grew up in the Guild Society, have no corollary sense of social obligation. It is a profound form of selfishness that the Old School leadership would not recognize. Today much of the problems in American society flow from the loss of the sense of social obligation that the previous generations of money makers had. The new view, of the meritocrats, is that "government" and its own legions of meritocrats will be the entity responsible for social mattes - not only the art galleries and the libraries, not only the schools, but all charities and all philanthropic operations. And that will be supported by taxes - which end up falling on the poorer economic groups, simply because the rich have the legions of tax attorneys who have the technical skills to ensure that they pay little to nothing.
The reality is that the meritocrats of the government have no ability to fund, or operate, these social endeavors, so society ends up cracking, and that is what you new see in America (and Canada, although a bit less, as Canada is much tighter in the cohesiveness of the money class). The reaction is that the "others,", everybody outside the money guild, ends up worse off, and their children are worse off, and society starts to drift apart into camps. From there, you end up with political disruption, and you see the results in the Trump election and the fractures in France. There are other elements that have badly disrupted the old order, but that goes beyond what I would describe here and is massively politically incorrect, so I won't go there publicly. Interestingly the guys of the making-money crowd were not particularly greedy; all they wanted from society was a comfortable income stream, the inheritance of the family's estate in the rich enclave they grew up in, and a nice sailboat or motor yacht. For the rest,they and their wives would indulge in the charities the proliferated in those communities. Today, the meritocrats that have crashed the money group have become grotesque caricatures, with 230-foot yachts and 100-million-dollar mansions,and behave very badly, especially in their divorces. They think they are part of the old-money crowd,but are not, and they horrify the Old School by their behavior.
I don't have any solutions to this, other than the fall-back to the private mottos of the old school. My own is:
The Cultivation of General Literature and Social Culture, the Advancement and Encouragement of Intellectual Excellence, the Promotion of Honorable Friendship and Useful Citizenship, the Development of a Spirit of Tolerance and Respect for the Rights and Views of Others, the Maintenance of Gentlemanly Dignity, Self-Respect, and Morality in All Circumstances, and the Union of Stout Hearts and Kindred Interests to Secure to Merit its Due Reward.

You are on to something, Chips. Now if Canada's government and industry leaders can absorb the insight that you have displayed, possibly there is a light at the end of the IMO 2020 tunnel.
The simplest, most economical method -- available today -- for transforming bitumen into a desirable, sale-able product is physical separation of the coal-like asphaltenes from the oil sands crude stream. Technology is currently being employed in China that does just that. It separates bitumen into two streams -- a granular solid that contains all the asphaltenes and a low viscosity, pump-able liquid phase that can be hydro-treated to remove the sulfur component. That resulting oil stream then has diesel value since it can then be used directly as the new low sulfur marine fuel required by the IMO 2020 regulation. In a real sense, you get the same refining value upgrade for bitumen that you get in the Northwest upgrader at about one-fifth the cost. The dry, inert solid asphaltenes can be re-injected into the mine for carbon sequestration or stored, much as the current coke piles, for later utilization.
This technology is proven and is being commercially operated right now. It is available for license. The missing step is for the industry to click in to the fact that this solution is obvious and available and, most importantly, can be installed quickly. It simply needs to be recognized and implemented.
In early 2013 I compared CAPP's projection of expected oil sands production with the projection of expected refining capacity, worldwide, to process this unique feedstock. The numbers showed definitively that the available processing capacity would be insufficient even before the expected IMO sulfur reduction occurred. I presented my forward assessment for the Canadian bitumen industry to a major oil sands producer with the recommendation that they shift all of their capital spending from production increases to oil sands treatment. I specifically recommended using the asphaltene removal technology of the Chinese. My recommendation was rejected. The recent production shut-ins by this company, both voluntary and government mandated, plus the ultra-low stock price, are the logical result of doing the wrong thing in the face of easy-to-understand arithmetic -- arithmetic results that were opposed to management wishes.
If someone can come up with a means for getting this message into the heads of the industry leaders, then Canada, and even OPEC, will be forever appreciative. You see, the in about a year from now Canadian producers become "desperate sellers" to the world market, in the same vein as the recent pipeline-restricted producers were in Canada. Remember the $50/B discounts? Now apply that same mechanism to the global crude market and the price of Saudi Light crude. Not a pretty picture!

Rocket science is not required to grasp what I have described. An intelligent, open mind is all that is needed. Canadian producer CEO's -- are you listening?
Probably not. And the reason why is captured in the phrase: "Not invented here."
You are not part of the management team inside that client. When you say things that they have not figured out, they your results are "not invented here." Remember: consultants are not hired to take a fresh look at whatever problem is before them. They are hired to validate the pre-conceived ideas of internal management (and, I would say cynically, to make management look like super-stars to the Board of Directors).
I do have one question. Why are the solids, the asphaltenes, not immediately marketable as a road-building material (asphalt)? Is there a technical or market barrier? Just curious.

Thanks, Jan. I well understand the NIH concept and recognize its ubiquity. But I suspect there is more at work here. It goes back to the basic deficiency of the petroleum industry -- the lack of understanding of the "business" of oil. The industry is run, mostly, by people with an engineering mindset. And they do a great job of addressing engineering-type challenges (amenable to calculation). You tell them to figure out how to get oil sands out of the ground, and they do it! But oftentimes the missing ingredient, business judgement, is missing because it is not subject to simplistic quantification. Thus the necessary economic judgement is missing.
There is one other large component at play here. The structure of large corporations "protect" top management from new, good ideas. Most have in place a screener to decide what new information reaches the top executive. Thus it is the screener's knowledge and ability that makes the decisions on new thoughts, not the CEO. And a low level screener is not necessarily the one in the corporation with the best business judgement. But is is almost impossible to circumvent the screener in trying to communicate with top management -- unless you know someone.
To answer your question -- yes, the asphaltenes can be used for road building by back-blending it with appropriate oils. It is a matter of economics. After all, Fort McMurray is still a long transportation distance from the consumer.

You do have to wonder how much of that, the "business judgment" factor, is at work in other industries. I watch the disintegration of the greatest manufacturing juggernaut of America, the General Electric Corporation, and you ask: How is it possible that such a vaunted enterprise can so totally screw it up?
And you look at Sears, Roebuck, the outfit that developed the sale-by-mail-order model, and once again, Amazon beats them to a pulp. How can a business that is built on that sales model so totally screw it up?
Astonishing stuff. then again, the Canadian Govt just paid out $4.5 billion for an old pipeline that seems to be pumping oil to nowhere. Bad business judgments is getting endemic.
I point much of the blame to the substitution of the trading mentality for real world thinking. Unfortunately, real world fundamentals have been displaced by the trading mentality since derivative trading now is the price setter. Reality has a tough time making itself felt. But eventually reality prevails, and everyone is shocked and says "I didn't see it coming"
Keep you eye on the real ball, not the trading illusion.
Just now, William Edwards said:
All true.
Getting back to the asphaltene matter, if it can be back-blended into a nice asphalt, then I see a market. OK, so the stuff is used as a very hot liquid, it does not have to be shipped that way. Lets say the stuff can be solidified into the shape equivalent of the 50-lb bag, palletized, and shrink-wrapped as cold asphalt. then it can be handled as pallet freight and shipped in ordinary boxcars by rail, you don't need special hopper cars or tank cars and external heaters to do a flow unload. A forklift truck can load and unload, a ton at a time, on pallets.
When packaged that way, it can be shipped cheaply for long distances. As the raw material is waste, the effective cost is quite low - the cost of the back-blending, and the packaging. The solids themselves cost zero. Actually, less than zero, as otherwise you have this disposal of waste costs. You would pour the material into aluminum molds at the blending plant, cool, and you have logs of asphalt, that can be easily stacked and shrink-wrapped. You sell a trainload to say the City of Philadelphia to go fix their potholes. Right now the city of Kansas City, Kansas is busy tearing up their old outlier streets and letting them go back to dirt because they don't have the money to rebuild them properly. Cheap asphalt in bulk would resolve those types of issues. Am I missing something?
2 minutes ago, Jan van Eck said:
I think that the elements of your scheme are sound. But you might improve the economics by shipping the already-in-pallet-bags of the solid asphaltene to a re-blending plant much closer to the end user. Much like what is done with cement and concrete mixing.
Now, can you arrange financing for development of your idea? If so, I can help.
William, that is a big-bucks undertaking. And at this point, the Canadians have not (yet) cottoned on to the idea of doing the Chinese steam separation thingy, as there is not even the separated stream of waste material in the first place!
I understand, Jan. The first step is commitment to asphaltene removal. But the strict and unalterable timing requirements of the IMO 2020 regulation change dictate a prompt undertaking by Canada or "forget oil sands producers". The asphalt scheme must follow, as you suggest, but development of that idea will take longer than implementation of asphaltene removal, which has a deadline. So it is not too early to begin thinking asphalt implementation, if you are serious.


So, as I set out to create this batch, I was given this botanical paper at my challenge group last month. This paper was perfection.
Now that I had the paper, I just had to figure out how I was going to use it as the basis for this batch. It just so happened, that I was walking through my own garden and spotted these amazing orange, yellow, and pink snapdragons. They were in a pot of succulents my mother had gifted to me months ago. When I sent her a picture of the snapdragons, she was shocked. She had no idea they had been there, waiting beneath the soil, to burst forth and boldly display the colors that inspire this batch.
Another exciting thing to happen this month – I was chosen to be a Gelli Arts® Artist ambassador! This company produces and sells the monoprinting plate I use everyday, and now I get to work for them sharing my techniques using their product with others! Exciting to say the least! I also get to work with an extremely creative team of artists. Check out all the Gelli Arts® Artists (me included) here. They even sent me all of these amazing supplies!
Please visit their site and if you ever need any monoprinting supplies, use my code to get 10% off your purchase of $20 or more. The button is on the sidebar of all my pages.
With that being said, I knew I wanted to incorporate monoprinting into this batch.
Last month, I hosted a monoprinting class at Hyperion Brewing Co. You can read the whole story here. Two eleven year old girls came to learn about monoprinting that night. And though I taught them quite a bit, it always amazes me how much you can learn from a beginner. Often times, we get so used to and comfortable with our own techniques that it can be difficult to think outside the box. One of the girls kept attempting an ombré effect on her plate. She did pretty good, but for this batch, I set out to perfect the technique!
these are my new Gelli Arts colors! the paint is amazing and stays open on the plate longer, allowing you time to create the perfect effect!
For adding depth to the squares, the layering continued with white paint (Gelli Arts®) on the plate. I put down a bold floral stencil followed by the ombré paper. I was able to pull multiple squares from one plate, especially after picking up the stencil. The key is to burnish! Be sure to try to pull up all the paint while the stencil is down. Therefore, when you pick it up, you have another great image (ghost print) to use.
GELLI ARTS® ARTIST TIP: There are a couple of ways to lift the ghost print. If the paint is still wet, you could put another paper down immediately and burnish, burnish, burnish. If the paint is mostly dry, wait until the paint is completely dry. Then choose another color (high contrast is always fun!) and put down a few drops on the plate, right on top of the first image, the ghost… Brayer until smooth, then lay another paper down and burnish away. Lift and enjoy the beauty. To be honest, I often like the ghost print more than the original. Hmm.
In the end, this colorful batch really stands out in a crowd of Mother's Day cards. These cards tell a special story, one from my heart to yours. Inside you will write your own story, your own memory and pass that message to someone you love. These cards are meant to continue a tradition of love notes and pen pals. Just last week, I met a new friend who said that they have a pen pal. Beginning in childhood, they grew out of it, but have recently rekindled their correspondence. She told me she treasures these handwritten love letters her friend took the time to write, address, stamp and mail. They are you proof that someone thinks you are extra special! #sendlove this may make someone feel that way.
I also created some cards at the market last week. I have had this chess piece stamp for a few years, but have never really found the right project for it. It was one of those stamps that I saw and HAD to have! Well, it just spoke to me this Mother's Day! Then, I saw a fellow Gelli Arts® Artist (Giogio Craft) post an #inspiredbymothers image of young Queen Elizabeth. She said her mother was born at the same time as her coronation. So here is my other 2018 mother's day card – who is your queen?

Sydney, what's an example of how you serve your friends? You can have a kind heart. What does that mean? Like, to love them and to be willing to help. Excellent. Do you have an example of how you've done that with your friends? Like when they get stuck on a math problem you can go help them. That's an excellent example. Thank you. Alright, now who can tell me how you serve your family? Camille can you tell me how you serve your family? You could clean the house from top to bottom. Wow, that's a great way of serving your family. I'm sure your parents would be very happy about that. Excellent. Daisy, how do you serve you family? I obey my parents and do the thing that they want me to do. That's a great way. Yes, Megan? I just, whenever they need help with a kid or they need to go play with them outside cause something's going on, I help my family by tending the littler kids. That's a great way of serving. Thank you. Joseph? You can tend your little brother when your mom can't. Wonderful, so you help out that way. That is a great way. Daisy, you mentioned that you obey your parents. You're obedient to your parents. What are we promised if we obey Heavenly Father? We'll be able to live with him again. Excellent. What else are we promised? That's a great thing that we're promised. What else are we promised? Yes, Megan. Happiness.
5 KID: Promised happiness. Wonderful. How did King Benjamin serve his people? Gabe? He went and he did all the things that with them. Excellent He didn t just sit there and have them do all the work. Okay. Great. How else did King Benjamin serve his people? Yes, Megan? Well, he told them what God wanted. We could serve him by serving others and he showed them by serving them and he was not only serving them but he was serving God at the same time. Wonderful. Camille, how did he serve? He told them to obey the commandments and told them to have a righteous life. Great. Joseph, how did he serve others? How did King Benjamin serve others? He taught them about Christ.

To serve others, wonderful. King Benjamin told everybody to serve others and he actually served others as well, right? So he wasn t just telling people to serve, he actually was doing it, right? I think that's an important thing to do. King Benjamin said Jesus Christ would soon be born on earth. His mother's name would be Mary. Jesus would perform miracles, he would heal the sick and bring the dead back to life, he would make the blind see and the deaf hear. Jesus would suffer and die for the sins of all people, those who repent and have faith in Jesus will be forgiven of their sins. King Benjamin told the Nephites that wicked men would whip Jesus, then they would crucify him. After three days, Jesus would be resurrected, After King Benjamin spoke the Nephites fell to the ground, they were sorry for their sins and wanted to repent. Excellent. Good job, you guys. Okay. Daisy, can you tell me what King Benjamin taught the people about Jesus Christ? He told them that they were serving God by serving each other.

What great act of service did Christ do for us? Gabe? He died for us so we can live again. He died for us so we can live again. Wonderful. And you kind of answered the second question I had. What does that mean for you? So he died for us so that we can live again. What does that mean for you Daisy? That I'll be able to see my family again Wonderful, what does that mean for you, Sydney, that Jesus died for us? That we could return to Heaven. Alrighty. Wonderful answers, everybody. Jesus Christ suffered and died that we might repent of our sins, be baptized, be resurrected, and live with Heavenly Father forever. Can anyone tell me what his sacrifice for us is called, what the word for that is? The Atonement. The Atonement, Wonderful. Let's continue on with our story.
8 READER: The people had faith in Jesus Christ, and they prayed to be forgiven. The Holy Ghost filled their hearts, they knew that God had forgiven them and that He loved them and they felt peace and joy. King Benjamin told his people to believe in God. He wanted them to know that God had created all things and that he's wise and powerful. King Benjamin told the people to be humble and pray every day. He wanted his people to always remember God and be faithful. He told the parents not to let their children fight or argue. He told them to teach their children to be obedient and to love and serve one another. GUEST: T KID: What did King Benjamin teach the parents? Yes, Sydney? That they should not let their kids argue. That they should not let their kids argue. Why is that important? Why did he teach them their kids should not argue? Gabe? Because he wanted them to follow the commandments. Okay. Yes Sydney? He didn t want them to argue because when you argue you get the Spirit away. That is very true. Joseph, what did he want them to do? He wanted them to be happy. He wanted them to be happy. And so what did King Benjamin teach the parents to teach their children to make them happy? To be obedient and love and serve one another. Wonderful. Camille, why is it important to love and serve one another? So we can live a happy life. Wonderful, it does help us to live a happy life, that's very true. Daisy, why is it important to be obedient and love and serve one another? Because then we'll have happy homes and we'll just feel a lot better. Wonderful. Okay, Megan?
9 READER: We'll also have the spirit in our home with us? That's also a real important thing, isn't it? How does it make you feel when you have the Sprit in your home? It makes me very happy and I feel like the Holy Ghost is with me Wonderful. Thank you. Sydney? It makes us closer to Heavenly Father. Excellent answers, Joseph? So we can be forgiven of our sins? Wonderful. Thank you all. Let s keep reading. He warned the people to be careful with what they thought, said, and did. They were to be faithful, and keep the commandments for the rest of their lives. King Benjamin asked the people if they believed his teachings. They all said they did. The Holy Ghost had changed them and they no longer wanted sin. They all covenanted or promised to keep God's commandments. King Benjamin was pleased. King Benjamin gave his son, Mosiah, the right to be the new king. Three years later, King Benjamin died. Mosiah was a righteous king. He worked hard and served his people as his father had. Why is it important to take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ. Gabe? So we can be like him. So we can be like him. Wonderful. Camille So we can represent him, be an example to others. We can represent him. No. That's a Wonderful answer. Thank you. Sydney, why is it important to take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ? So that we can be an example. Excellent, Wonderful answer. Daisy, why is it important to take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ?
10 So we can be part of His Church. Wonderful. Megan? That we can represent him and be just like him as he was and be as kind. Joseph. What does Jesus Christ ask us to do in order to take upon ourselves his name? Get baptized? Get baptized. Okay. Wonderful. Yes, Camille? Be an example to others. Okay. Gabe? Follow His example? Follow His example? Yes. Sydney? Read the scriptures. Read the scriptures. Those are all Wonderful, wonderful answers. Why does he ask us to be baptized? Joseph. Why does he ask us to be baptized? So our sins can be washed away. Alright. Was Jesus Christ baptized? Yes. Yes. Yes? Why was he baptized? Yes, Megan? So he could show us that we needed to do that when we were older. Okay. Yes, Camille? So he could be an example to us and show us that we needed to be that when we were younger. So what did King Benjamin say would happen if we keep the commandments? Yes, Camille? We would have peace and joy.
11 Excellent response. Gabe, do you have an answer for that? We would be forgiven and be happy Wonderful. Daisy, what did King Benjamin say would happen if we keep the commandments? We'll be able to have the Holy Ghost with us and return to Heavenly Father again. Wonderful. Sydney? That we will be happy and live with Him again. Okay. Joseph, what did King Benjamin say would happen if we keep the commandments? We would become happy. We would become happy. Why are you happy when you keep the commandments? Because you don't have to struggle with everything else. Okay, Wonderful answer. Gabe, how did the people respond to King Benjamin's teachings? They repented. They did. They repented. Excellent. Camille, how did the people respond to King Benjamin's teachings? They changed in their hearts. Excellent. Yes, Megan? They were changed and they didn't want to sin anymore. They didn't want to sin anymore. Daisy? They promised to keep God's commandments. Excellent. Yes, Joseph? They wanted to keep God's commandments. They wanted to. They didn't just promise to. They wanted to actually. Wonderful. Sydney?
12 They were happy They were happy. So why did the people not want to sin anymore? Yes, Sydney? They didn't want to hurt Heavenly Father's feelings. Okay. Wonderful answer. How did they know that God had forgiven them? They had a warm feeling in their heart. They had a warm feeling in their hearts. Wonderful. I think it said they felt peace and joy as well. Had any of you had an experience where you felt peace and joy? Felt very happy in side? Yes, Megan? I met some of these kids and we were kind of talking to each other and then mean names slipped out so I felt really bad. And so I went over to their house and I apologized and they apologized back and I felt good inside and I didn't have a weird feeling, I had a warm feeling instead. Wonderful. Thank you. Does anybody else have an example of when they felt peace and joy inside? Yes, Sydney? When my friend got hurt and I took her to my house and I got her a band-aid. Wonderful. So you served your friend. That leads me to another question. What can we do to experience peace and joy? Be nice to others Be nice to others. Wonderful. Daisy? We can serve everybody and be kind and loving to them. Wonderful. Megan? Love one another. Love one another. Excellent. Sydney? Be an example for Heavenly Father. That is Wonderful. Gabe? What can you do to feel peace and joy? Not wrestle with my brother.
13 ALL KIDS: SONG: READER: Not wrestle with your brother. Okay. Excellent. Do you feel happy and peaceful when you don't wrestle with your brother? Yes? Okay. Excellent. Megan? When I go to Church and I know that I am doing the right things. Know that you're doing the right things because you're going to Church. Excellent. Thanks. Sydney? Listening to my parents. Wonderful. Do you think we can also feel happiness, peace and joy when we listen to General Conference? Mm hmm. Why do you think we feel that when we listen to General Conference? Yes, Megan? Because it's the prophet telling us what God has told him to tell us. Okay. Why do you feel good when you listen to Conference, Daisy? Because I know that the prophet is telling what Heavenly Father has told them. Wonderful. So it's a way that we get the messages. You know the Church helps all of its members receive messages from the President of the Church and other General Authorities through radio, television, and satellite broadcasts and through printed material. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous and in doing good to all men. Indeed we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul. We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous lovely or of good report or praiseworthy we seek after these things. Now let's turn to Chapter 13 and read about Zeniff. Zeniff and a group of Nephites left their homes in Zarahemla and travelled to the land of Nephi where other Nephites had once lived. They found Lamanites living there. Zeniff and four of his men went into the city to talk to the king. They asked King Laman if they could live in his land.
14 King Laman said they could have two of his cities. The king wanted them to live in his land so he could make them his slaves. Zeniff's people built homes and fixed the walls around their cities. They planted many kinds of grain and fruit. They also had flocks of animals. King Laman told his people that the Nephites were becoming too powerful. Soon many Lamanites went to attack the Nephites and steal their animals and crops. The Nephites ran to the city of Nephi. There, Zeniff armed the people with bows and arrows, swords, clubs, and slings. They went to fight the Lamanites. Before they fought, the Nephites prayed asking God for help. God blessed the Nephites with extra strength. And they defeated the Lamanites. After the battle, Zeniff put guards around the Nephite cities. He wanted to protect his people and their animals from the Lamanites. The Nephites lived in peace for many years. The men worked in the fields and the women spun thread and made clothes. King Laman died and his son became king. The new king sent his army to fight the Nephites. The Nephites again received strength from the Lord. They killed many Lamanites and the rest ran away. ALL KIDS: KID: So why did King Laman agree for Zeniff and his people to stay there? Daisy? Because King Laman wanted to make them his slaves. Okay. So King Laman was he righteous or a wicked king? Wicked (agreement) Wicked king. Alright. And what did the Nephites do before they fought both of the times? Yes, Megan? They prayed and asked God for help? Yes, they fixed up their homes, the cities? So they fixed up the cities. Excellent. They prayed. Wonderful. When was the time, let's go around the circle and think of a time when you have prayed for strength and Heavenly Father has blessed you. And we'll start with Joseph.
16 also hope we'll keep talking about the things we've learned with our families and with other people we love. Next week we'll read chapter 14, Abinadi and King Noah. If you'd like to listen to this program again, a grownup can help you get a copy to play on your computer, ipod, or other music player at radio.lds.org. You can also sign up to get new episodes as soon as they're ready. If you'd like your own copies of the scripture stories, as books or DVD's, you can find them at scripturestories.lds.org or a grownup can buy them at your local Church distribution center.

Folk Rock Born by the River
Canyon Kids is a songwriting collaboration of two: vocalist/guitarist Bo Elledge and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Dusty Nichols. With drummer John Wayne Harris Jr, bassist Adam Woolley, violinist Matt Heron, and singer/multi-instrumentalist Sheena Dhamsania, Canyon Kids takes it's fuller form.
Their original music is harmony-centric and folk rock-styled with tints of soul and psychedelia. As former members of Jackson's folk rock collaboration Elk Attack, Elledge, Nichols, Harris and Woolley played Jackson Hole's biggest stages. This included Mountain Fest and JHLive, in which they supported G-Love and Special Sauce, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Young Dubliners, and Robert Randolph. In 2012, Elk Attack released a full-length album, Second Born, followed by a national tour.
This momentum has continued through the Canyon Kids era, garnering support opportunities for Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real, Nahko and Medicine for the People, another bill with G-Love, and Athens rockers New Madrid. On Valentine's Day 2014, Canyon Kids debuted their full-length, self titled album which Jackson Hole Music Blog called "the best local release of the year thus far, embodying a production aesthetic rare to the regional scene."
Following their debut, they joined acts Screen Door Porch and The Patti Fiasco on a regional tour of the mountain west, appropriately titled The Wyomericana Caravan. Returning from a successful tour, the Canyon Kids again hit the studio, picking up support from Teton Valley non-profits the Teton Art Lab and CSA Jackson Hole. They worked close to a year on their latest release titled The Best Loved Poems of the American People. For this 7 song LP, the Canyon Kids put prose to original music, employing the great minds of 19th century poets.
Their hooky single "Out Where the West Begins" hit the KHOL's top ten chart this past summer.

Ha ricoperto inoltre importanti ruoli in diverse organizzazioni industriali e scientifiche, tra cui Federacciai, Confindustria, American Nuclear Society e American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Biografia

La famiglia
Il nonno, originario di Amalfi, fu uno stimato medico condotto e il padre fu uno degli imprenditori campani autori della ricostruzione nel dopoguerra. Giovanni Gambardella è sposato con Carmela Argenziano Avagliano, con cui ha avuto tre figli (Alfonso, Olga e Giovanna).

L'infanzia e l'adolescenza
Giovanni Gambardella trascorse i primi anni di vita a Taranto (sua città natale), per poi trasferirsi con la famiglia a Grottaglie durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Dopo la fine del conflitto, la famiglia si spostò a Salerno, dove il giovane Giovanni frequentò il prestigioso Liceo Ginnasio "Torquato Tasso".

La formazione universitaria
Conseguita la maturità classica, nel 1953 Giovanni Gambardella si spostò a Napoli per frequentare la Facoltà di Matematica presso l'Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, dove ebbe come professore Renato Caccioppoli. Dopo la laurea, nel 1956 si trasferì a Torino, dove si iscrisse alla Facoltà di Ingegneria del Politecnico di Torino, laureandosi nel 1959.

Hello Helena
A very merry Christmas at Best Buy with sales booming
A very mer...
NEW YORK (AP) - Best Buy put up some big holiday sales numbers Wednesday, more evidence that Americans are willing and able to spend on gadgets and big TVs.
The nation's largest consumer electronics chain delivered a better-than-expected 3 percent increase in sales at established stores for the fiscal fourth quarter. The company also issued an annual profit forecast that was roughly in line with Wall Street expectations.
Shares soared nearly 16 percent.
A dire report from the U.S. Commerce Department this month on retail sales cast a pall over the sector, raising concerns that an extended period of elevated consumer confidence had ended abruptly. But the holiday business has proven to be a mixed bag as some retailers are responding faster to a more competitive landscape as well as a shoppers' shift to online.
Other notable retailers like Walmart also had big holiday quarters. T.J. Maxx parent reported on Wednesday strong sales driven by more customer visits. Macy's slogged through a tough holiday season and said on Tuesday that 2019 would remain challenging. Meanwhile, a slowdown in the housing market is tempering sales at home improvement chains Home Depot and Lowe's.
J.C. Penney, Target and Nordstrom are among the retailers that will report final fourth-quarter figures in the next few days.
Still, a slowdown in the economy could present challenges to retailers. And declining tax refunds could dampen spending in the first quarter. In fact, Best Buy acknowledged that it has seen some weakness in sales during the current quarter as the volume and dollar amount of tax refunds has fallen. It said it was monitoring the situation.
Nevertheless, Best Buy has excelled in holding off increasing competition from Amazon and other players by expanding its online business, speeding up deliveries and adding more services to enhance its relationship with its customers. Online sales now account for 22 percent of its U.S. business.
It was only a few years ago when skeptics were ready to write the obituary of Best Buy. But under Hubert Joly, who took over the helm as CEO in 2012, the company is being reinvented. While the c
It was only a few years ago when skeptics were ready to write the obituary of Best Buy. But under Hubert Joly, who took over the helm as CEO in 2012, the company is being reinvented. While the chain is focusing on driving online revenue, it's also working to build deeper relationships and increase total revenue from customers who are shopping both online and in stores. That means reducing the time a customer has to spend at the pickup counter.
It's also means expanding services. Its free adviser service where salespeople visit customers at home to make recommendations on TVs and other electronics has been doing well. Last year, it launched a service that costs $199.99 a year that offers unlimited Geek Squad technical support. As of the latest quarter, it has signed up more than one million members.
The company is also pushing more into the health field, acquiring a company last year called GreatCall that provides emergency response devices for the aging.
Additionally, Best Buy said that it now offers same-day delivery on thousands of items in 40 metropolitan areas and next day delivery in 60 metropolitan areas.
"Historically...we've been focused on transactions and selling products," Joly told investors during the earnings call on Wednesday. "We're moving toward selling solutions and building relations
"Historically...we've been focused on transactions and selling products," Joly told investors during the earnings call on Wednesday. "We're moving toward selling solutions and building relationships. This journey is at the beginning and we're learning."
The Richfield, Minnesota, company, posted per-share earnings of $2.72, beating last year's fourth quarter's $2.42. It also topped the $2.56 that analysts were expecting, as well as its own previous guidance. For the year, earnings per share came in at $5.32, surpassing last year's $4.42.
The company estimates earnings for the next fiscal year to be in the $5.45 to $5.65, which is roughly in line with the $5.49 that Wall Street has been projecting.
Best Buy said comparable-stores sales, a key indicator of a company's health, rose 4.8 percent for the year, extending its streak to five years of growth.
Best Buy raised its quarterly dividend by 11 percent, to 50 cents per share. The board of directors also approved a new $3 billion stock repurchase, replacing an existing authorization to repurchase $1.5 billion of the company's shares.
Shares rose $10.13 per share to $70.44 in mid-day trading.

Gaston's role in 'Letters to Hanoi' and release of POWs
J.A. Dalpiaz has always appreciated what it means to be an American, and valued men and women of the military who fight for its freedom.
In the waning era of the Vietnam War, that drove him to lead a campaign asking for the release of Americans who had been taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese. And 40 years ago, the public awareness he raised helped to bring about the release of almost 600 prisoners of war following the Paris Peace Accords of 1973.
Memorial Day has long served as an outlet for remembering Americans who died in military service. But Dalpiaz's crusade sought to ensure that POWs who had been captured — and often horribly tortured — would eventually make it home alive.
It was a movement that took the Gaston County businessman to numerous foreign nations, during a volatile time when emotions about the Vietnam War were boiling over.
"I've always been very patriotic," Dalpiaz, 81, said of his involvement in the effort. "I grew up in a very patriotic family."
His outlook was forged from growing up as the son of parents who were largely destitute when they emigrated from Europe. Dalpiaz was the first of his lineage to be born in America, and his family had to work hard for everything they attained. They appreciated the unique opportunity the United States provided.
Taking up the cause
Dalpiaz served three and a half years in the Air Force in the 1950s, though not in battle. He later made his fortune in Gaston County as a manufacturing business owner and developer, among other ventures, and he has been heavily involved in public service through the years.
He is perhaps best known as a political workhorse who helped sow the Republican Party's first seeds in Gaston County in the 1960s and 70s. In the process, he became a valued strategist and confidante of GOP all-stars such as Ronald Reagan and both Bush presidents.
By 1970, Dalpiaz was good friends with Gaston College professor Phil Galanti and his wife Ruth. Their son, Lt. Cmdr. Paul Galanti, a Navy pilot, had been taken prisoner in Vietnam in 1966. Ruth Galanti had become a driving force in the effort to get her son and other POWs back.
"That's how I got involved and became part of the regional and national movement," Dalpiaz said from his Gastonia home last week. "We were trying to generate public opinion worldwide to get our POWs released from Vietnam."
His role in the effort grew quickly, and by November 1970, Dalpiaz took the reins of a campaign known as "Letters to Hanoi." People in the WBTV viewing area around Charlotte were urged to pen letters to the North Vietnamese government requesting the release of POWs, to pressure its leaders to abide by the Geneva Convention.
Organizers set up booths at numerous Gastonia shopping centers, providing free stationary and envelopes, to coax people to participate. Schools, churches, businesses, parents and children all got behind the effort, which grew exponentially and attracted wide support.
By early December, the campaign had produced some 380,000 letters. Dalpiaz was among a nine-member delegation that made plans to deliver them.
"We started something and it went all over the country," he said. "They had millions of letters eventually."
An appeal in Paris
By 1970, Vietnam peace negotiations had become centered in Paris. Dalpiaz's delegation opted to tote their 380,000 letters there in person to the North Vietnamese Embassy.
Their trip was financed by American businessman and eventual 1992 presidential candidate Ross Perot, who was heavily involved in Vietnam War POW/MIA issues.
When the group flew into France with mailbags full of letters in tow, customs officials in Paris initially balked.
"Customs wouldn't release our letters because there were no stamps on the envelopes," said Dalpiaz. "They held the thing up for several hours."
The delegation's presence and intentions were well known, and even monitored by North Vietnamese scouts inside the hotel where they were staying. Distrust and animosity from war protestors in Paris was also rampant.
The group arranged to have a truck deliver the letters to the door of the embassy. On the day peace talks were to resume there, Dalpiaz and his cohorts left their hotel and began walking several blocks to the site. A throng of people followed and observed them, with many protestors catcalling and accusing them of being pawns of the United States government.
"It was an eerie feeling," he said. "There was a huge crowd of thousands of people, and the BBC and worldwide press were all there. They knew this was an event."
Messages like "Nixon = napalm" had been spray-painted on building walls leading to the embassy.
"A lot of them over there thought we were set up to do this by the Nixon administration, which wasn't true," said Dalpiaz.
When they arrived, literally knocking on the door of the embassy, a guard refused to open it and accept the sacks of mail. Dalpiaz was carrying a separate envelope with photographs of every POW known to be in Hanoi, along with letters from their family members.
Determined, he thrust the package through a mail slot in the door.
"So I know they got those," he recalled. "Mission accomplished."
A hero's welcome
In the ensuing months, Dalpiaz continued traveling with the group to other worldwide cities such as London, Lisbon, Rome and Moscow, to spread word of their cause. By the spring of 1973, their efforts and the peace negotiations resulted in the Paris Peace Accords.
The return of some 600 American POWs served as a small symbol of hope for people in the United States, who were weary from years of the failed war.
Paul Galanti, the Navy pilot, had spent six and a half years in Hoa Lo prison, famously known as the Hanoi Hilton. But in February 1973, he was among the first American POWs to be released. He and his wife were pictured on the cover of Newsweek magazine upon being reunited in Portsmouth, Va.
Five weeks later, Galanti and his wife came to Gastonia to visit his parents and receive a hero's welcome. Over the course of several days, he made numerous public appearances and was treated like a native son by cheering crowds in Gaston County.
Galanti expressed thanks to Dalpiaz and everyone who had been involved with the Letters to Hanoi campaign.
"Gastonia is a special town for me," Galanti told a crowd at Hunter Huss High School during his visit, according to a Gastonia Gazette article. "Thank you for your support. Thank you for helping me start the spring of my life."
Dalpiaz said the effort to raise awareness about American POWs in Vietnam was something he became very passionate about. Thirty-three years after that rousing trip to Paris, he still remembers every detail of the experience.
"We didn't know the full implications at the time," he said. "It wasn't a rerun of something that had been done before, so we didn't know what to expect."
