  OT: As a percentage of world inhabitants, the white population will plummet to a single digit (9.76%%) by 2060 from a high-water mark of 27.98%% in 1950.

As a percentage of world inhabitants, the white population will
plummet to a single digit (9.76%%) by 2060 from a high-water mark of
27.98%% in 1950.

Using 2010 as the base reference, the big gainer in the population
derby will be blacks or sub-Sahara Africans. This group will expand
almost 133%% to 2.7 billion by 2060. By the middle of this century
blacks will represent 25.38%% of world population, which is up
dramatically from the 8.97%% they recorded in 1950.

The other groups measured in the study were the Central Asians
(Indians), East Asians (Chinese and Japanese), the Southeast Asians,
Arabic (North Africa and the Middle East), and Amerindian-Mestizo
(Mexican and Central America). All these groups will experience a
population growth. The Chinese/Japanese and Indians will trade
rankings and the relative global presence of the other groups will
remain more or less constant.

  TV unit maximum weight         


Author: AmyGG
Date: May 18, 2008 15:09

I am looking for a long tv unit that I can put my tv and fish tank on.
I think the weights are approx 40-50kg and 70-80 kg respectively.

I have found one particular item I like: http://dwell.co.uk/product.php?prod=102414

However, the total weight is over the maximum load advertised. Aside
from the water/electricity danger (which I will be extra careful
about) is it ok to have my items 'slightly' over the maximum load?

  uPVC Cladding - insulation/breathable membrane underneath?         


Author: Jim Ingram
Date: May 18, 2008 11:48

Hi,
I need to replace some old cladding (a 1.8m wide section which runs up the
height of the house, in line with ground and first floor windows). The house
is early 70's with concrete block internal leaf and (apart from where the
cladding is) brick external cavity walls.

I'm faily sure that ATM there is no insulation under the existing cavity. My
question is when I replace should I install insulation and secondly should I
back the cladding with some sort of vapour permeable membrane.

Any suggestions for tidying up the cladding under the window cills would
also be appreciated (one currently has lead flashing and the other a piece
of ply)
Thanks

  Domino wok hob recommendations sought         


Author: Tim Downie
Date: May 18, 2008 09:14

We're thinking about something like this, a single wok burner to fit
alongside an existing cooker.

http://www.neff.co.uk/N2462.html

The trouble is, they seem to be pretty silly money compared to the price of
a full four or five burner gas hob. Is the NEff worth the money?

Anyone got one that they'd recommend or know of ones to avoid? I'm working
on the principle that more heat output is better (I don't want to go to all
this trouble to find I have something barely more powerful that my own gass
cooker).

  how to cap drains in concrete         


Author: sm_jamieson
Date: May 18, 2008 07:49

I have to cap some drainage in concrete due to it being fairly
shallow. The PVC drainage involves an inspection chamber and some
length of the outlet pipes, up to a height above the outlet pipes. I
was just going to surround the whole thing with concrete, making a
solid block, making if pretty much indestructible and immune to any
possible future leaks in the joints (they test OK now and there is no
undue stress on them !).
I had a look in part H, and there is this thing about using
compressible board at all the joints to provide movement joints. Well
I can see some advantages with this, but a lot more problems, since it
is creating a weak point where if you did get a leak one day, you
would be powerless to fix it. And it would be hard to ensure there was
no linkage between the sections as...

  Venting portable air con into loft         


Author: Tom Bradbury
Date: May 18, 2008 07:44

Just bought a portable air con unit, and wonder if instead of venting
it thru a window, I can vent it do the loft of the house. I have
planned on putting the vent pipe thru' a bit of perspex so I can then
put the perspex across the open window and create a good seal and stop
outside warm air getting back in, when I came up with this loft idea.
Sure, the hot air will get into the loft, but it's boiling up there in
summer anyway.

Are there any really cheap ones? I need to look inside an enclosed
space.

What's the principle of operation and could one make a simple device?
