"It seems more about making things easier for the council at the expense of families," Shanks says. "Proposing extra fees on families for late-notification … looks like a money-making exercise.

LyondellBasell is working with makers of consumer batteries — such as AA and AAA sizes — on a nylon 6/6 material that can replace nylon 6/12 and reduce leakage, Guilfoyle said. At Star Plastics, Ritchie said the firm is developing flame retardant and color technology and working to meet customer-focused needs based on market movement and availability of materials.

Trump, meanwhile, continues to undermine American institutions, including by attacking the independence of the federal judiciary. He’d like judges to be his agents.  Chief Justice John Roberts, by background a Republican who got his job via George W. Bush, is pushing back.

Even with results positive overall, availability of raw materials has been a source of tension. Every year typically has supply chain challenges, but the bumps in the road for 2018 have seemed more extreme.

The Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Eyeshadow Palette helped start the recent purple reign with a periwinkle and a grape shade placed smack dab in the center. Among its 16 other shades, you’ll find four fun formulas like a pressed glitter, matte, pearl, and duochrome.

Abstract: A method of installing a sealing ring onto a wire wrap screen comprising: providing the sealing ring, wherein the sealing ring has an initial inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of an end of the wire wrap screen; reducing the inner diameter of the sealing ring, wherein the reduced inner diameter of the sealing ring is less than the outer diameter of the end of the wire wrap screen; heating the sealing ring; positioning the heated sealing ring over the end of the wire wrap screen; and allowing the sealing ring to decrease in temperature. Another method comprises positioning at least two sealing rings adjacent to a cut-out section of the wire wrap screen.

Pastoral weeds are conservatively estimated to cost the New Zealand economy $1.2 billion per annum in lost animal production and control costs and there are more than 300 weeds of conservation concern.

DFT calculation was performed by using the CP2K package. The Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional with Grimme D3 correction was used to describe the system. Unrestricted Kohn-Sham DFT was used as the electronic structure method in the framework of the Gaussian and plane-wave method. The Goedecker-Teter-Hutter (GTH) pseudopotentials and DZVP-MOLOPT-GTH basis sets were used to describe the molecules. A plane-wave energy cutoff of 500 rydbergs was used.

We then characterized the orientation of the water molecules in the membrane region through the angle their O–H bonds form with the vector perpendicular to the membrane plane as illustrated in fig. S9A. On the basis of the smallest of both angles measured according to this scheme, we plotted the distributions for the HC8, R-HC8, and S-HC8 systems calculated for the 450- to 500-ns time frame (Fig. 4D and fig. S9B). The apparent order, assessed by the width of the angle distribution, decreases slightly from S-HC8 to R-HC8 and then significantly to HC8. Furthermore, the distributions for the chiral systems are much narrower when centered around ~45°, falling off quickly for larger angles. The HC8 distribution is much broader spreading up to 135°, indicating an almost random orientation for this system. We carried out further analysis of water molecule ordering through calculation of the order parameter of the water molecules. Figure 4E and fig. S9C show a marked ordering for R-/S-HC8 systems, with a slightly higher ordering of S-HC8, compared with a rather flat profile for HC8. A specific pattern of water ordering is observed for the headgroup regions.

Architectural Designers New Zealand CEO Astrid Andersen said the win was well deserved and if anyone should be celebrated for their contribution to New Zealand architecture it should be Allfrey.In addition to Allfrey’s supreme award, Architectural Designers New Zealand awarded eight other projects throughout New Zealand.
