Did Eli Whitney receive an award?
No. Awards were not given out like they are today. His cotton gin invention was copied because it was so simple to make and he didn't make any money from it. He went to court to protect his patent but the costs of court and other reasons deprived him of his profits. In 1789 he was granted a government contract to make 10,000 muskets using his new process of interchangeable parts. Although the concept of interchangeable parts wasn't new and didn't come in use until the machine tool industry was developed his factory at Mill Rock was the first to use the process. This time he did make money on his invention. When he finally died in 1825 he was a wealthy man and his firm was passed to his son. Eventually, this became the Winchester Arms Company.

Does Saint Lucia trade with Canada?
Yes, St. Lucia trades with Canada. There is a trade arrangement between Canada and the Caribbean Community (for trade in goods) which benefits the wider CARICOM region in accessing the Canadian market almost entirely duty free. Therefore almost (if not all) all merchandise imports from St. Imports enter Canada duty free.
Actually, within the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), St. Lucia imports account for about 60% of total imports from Canada. On the export side, total exports as percentage of total trade is less than 1% (showing the smallness in size and productive capacity of the small island states of the Caribbean).
Major Canadian imports to St. Lucia mainly compose of agricultural products like fruits (including grapes, melons, pineapples, apples etc), vegetables (including cauliflower, tomatoes, cabbages, carrots, mushroom, potatoes and other potatoes), sweet biscuits; waffles and wafers and meat of swine products and other non-alcoholic beverages.
Non agricultural products like used pneumatic tyres of rubber, new stamps, stamp impressed paper, cheque forms and articles of jewellery saw surges in import values whilst emerging products like lubricating oils seem to have the potential of growing in value.
This information relates to trade between St. Lucia and Canada for 2005 to 2007. Major exports from St. Lucia to Canada include bananas; including plantains, fresh or dried, other fruits including golden apple, passion fruit, breadfruit etc Canadian imports to St. Lucia have been growing since 2005 growing by 60% between 2005 and 2006 (EC$ 117m to EC$187m) before falling by 6% (EC$ 187m to 176m) between 2006 and 2007.

Why do your 2000 Mercury Mountaineer smells like something is burning sometimes?
Many times the problem is a valve cover gasket(s) that has leaked oil onto the hot exhaust manifold underneath it. When you have stopped in traffic, or if you are on a hill, etc., the oil that has leaked has a chance to run down on the hot manifold and smells like rubber or oil burning. Most of the time this is just a nuisance but it should be repaired if is bad enough to the point you can smell it in your car or truck.
