In this page you will be familiar with epoxy and epoxy flooring and its variations. Epoxy or poly poxide is kind of Thermosetting resin that will be achieved from poly amine hardening reaction with resin apoxide. Apoxy has a vast usage domain such as versatile adhesive materials and FRP covers.
Benefits of epoxy industrial cover
Increasing concrete strength against corrosion, destroy and most chemical materials.
It doesn't absorb water at all and prevent from penetrating of water, oil and other liquids in concrete body.
It weighs light and is compact and prevent from making any dust.
It will be executed in different colors and integrated.
It involved in with 4 mm thickness, increasing pressure strength of concrete till 1100 kg/cm2.
Easiness in washing, at least 20 years lifetime and its restoration's speed is the other points of this flooring.
Different epoxy floorings for industrial saloons
Duster flooring in 1 mm thickness, this kind of flooring will be used for preventing from concrete's dusts.
Integrated flooring in 3 mm thickness in flat form with high strength of rubbing and strong in front corrosion, oil and water penetrating in concrete body- easiness in washing and possibility of floor's decorative. (Above mentioned flooring in kinds of industries like automobile, pharmacy, food industries, hygiene industries, printing … is useful.)
Flooring in 3 mm thickness in form of crooked (non slip) prevent from people and automobiles' slipping in oily and wet environments even with having smooth coating properties.
Rough and semi-rough floorings, above flooring in thickness more than 4 mm will be executed. Above coating has high mechanical strength and non-scratching is the other characteristic.
Anti acidic flooring has so high strength in front of chemical corrosive factors.
Sport flooring that is complicated from flexible epoxy.
Anti-static flooring is named anti-spark. (Its usage in Ammunition depots, telecommunication halls, computer rooms and surgery rooms in hospitals)
Epoxy concrete with thickness 20 mm will be executed and is completely strong against severe beatings.
Epoxy/ epoxy flooring
Epoxy usage in industrial and composite formation
Epoxy systems in industrial formation for producing models, master models, sheets, casting, equipment and other industrial devices is used. Plastic formation is replaced with wood and metal and the other old materials and it will increase its performance or decrease total cost or shorten waiting time for many industrial processes. Epoxies are used in producing fiberglass or composite. They are more expensive than poly ester resins and vinyl ester resins but usually produce composite parts which are stronger to heat.
Epoxy spatial usages
In spatial industry, epoxy will be used as building's matrix material and then will be reinforced with fiber. The most usual fibers involved in glass, carbon, Kevlar. Epoxies are used as building cohesive. Materials like wood and the other materials that have less technology will be attached with epoxy resins. (Know more about FRP covers)
Epoxy and biology
Soluble epoxies in water like Durcupan 6 and 7 are used usually for putting microscopic samples in plastic for transects with microtome and then imaging.
Epoxy resins complicated with pigments may be used as painting environments which this action will be done with pouring layers on each of them for forming one full image.
Epoxy and industry
In 2006 epoxy industry were more than 5 milliard in northern America and about 15 milliard dollars in the world. Chinese market is improved and more than 30% of global market is complicated. It is almost complicated from 50 to 100 resin epoxies and hardenings. Epoxy producers which are said in above are usually epoxy resins which won't be sold to final consumers then epoxy producers' group will buy raw materials of resin epoxy from major producers and then will complicate epoxy systems. (Complicate, change). These companies will be called formulation. Most epoxy systems which are sold by these formulators have 60% epoxy market's dollar value. There are hundred ways that formulators can change epoxies with adding mineral fillers (Talk, Silica, and Alumina …) with adding flexible, Viscosity reducer, dyes, volume, and speed of adhesive and so on. These changes for decreasing cost will be one for improving action and improving easiness of process is done. Finally one formulator will sell thousands kinds of different formula that each of them created for specific need or market.
Epoxy hygiene risks
First risk in using epoxy is related to hardening complication not epoxy resin. Especially amino hardening is so corrosive but it is possible that as toxic materials, Carcinogenic/ Mutagenic are categorized. Aromatic amino are damaging. (Most of them are known as carcinogenic materials or it seems to be carcinogenic) but its consumption is limited to specific industrial points and Aliphatic amino and siclo aliphatic is less dangerous which is usually used.
Epoxy liquid resins in soft case are mostly categorized as irritated for skin and eyes and are poisonous for aquatic. Epoxy solid resins are usually less dangerous than liquid resins and most of them are categorized as secure materials. One danger is special for epoxy resins are allergic. This danger in epoxy resins involved in diluents with low molecule weight is more specified. Touching epoxy will make allergic reaction. Allergic is because of repeated facing (like low hygiene in work shop and lack of safe devices) which happen in long term. Sometimes allergic reactions will occur several days later than touching with epoxy. Allergic reactions will occur like skin's inflammation especially in areas which are touched so much (hands and arms). Using epoxy is main source of job name in plastic producers. Base phenol A which is used in producing usual groups of epoxy resins is known disarranging of endocrines.

Today's interview and giveaway is of Yvonne Harris who has written "The Vigilante's Bride."
Thanks for answering my questions Yvonne.
How long did you write before you were published?
I sold the first piece I ever wrote to Woman's Day, the only place I sent it. It was an article on "Children and Clay." When we moved to another state, and teaching jobs were scarce, I took a job as Personnel Director for a hotel chain. I started writing articles on taxes and payroll and employee hiring, things I dealt with every day. About that time, I wrote my first novel, Hindu Kush, an international thriller set in Afghanistan. I sent it out to three publishers, and one of them bought it.
Tell us about "The Vigilante's Bride" the featured book.
This is my first historical romance. It has a western setting--Montana 1884-and I love this genre. I started my synopsis with a short statement about vigilantees and frontier justice to counter the negative impressions that usually go along with vigilantism. I had good guys doing bad things, and I wanted to justify it. Once that was out of the way, the story was easy to write.
What message do you want to be clear to your readers?
That it is never too late to change, and sometimes change is hard. In the case of my vigilante hero, he wants to hang up his guns and live a different life.
What are some of your likes and dislikes? Your hobbies, interests? Where do you like to vacation?
I love clay, used to be a potter, and had my own studio. Now I'm a news junkie, interested in politics, a good combination for plots. Until I wrote Vigilante's Bride, I wrote political thrillers. Hindu Kush was the first thriller, followed by one set in Spain, then one set in Russia, all good guys doing bad things for country and honor.
For vacationing, Chincoteague, Virginia, with the wild ponies across the channel, is a great spot if you love the ocean. We used to rent an apartment on the bay, take the turkey and all the fixings and spend Thanksgiving there, eating and looking at the lighthouse.
Tell us a little-known fact about yourself that readers may not know.
An ex-cheerleader, I was into figure roller skating and dancing. But, I had a secret yearning to join the Roller Derby. Helmets and knee-pads, little and loud--Oh, I'd have had a great time! Fortunately, I outgrew it.
How do you spend your writing days? Do you set goals to reach a certain number of words per day? Can you give us a general idea of how long it takes you to write a novel?
No, to all of the above. I write every day, but not to a schedule. How long to finish a novel? I don't know. The books I sold before were finished before I sent them out. For the first time in my life, I have a deadline. I'll let you know how that works.
What are you currently reading?
Nothing for pleasure, unfortunately. I have a stack of Texas Ranger books I'm reading as research for the next book. Everything from Lone StarJustice to The American West to My Six Years As a Texas Ranger.
Do you grow flowers or vegetables? What are your favorite flowers?
No. I have no luck growing things. Even my cactuses (cacti?) die. I suspect I have two black thumbs. I love sunflowers.
What are you writing now?
A River to Cross, a Texas Ranger story set by the Rio Grande in 1874.

Ebola may stop spreading by end of 2015
September 11, 2015 5:55 am
GENEVA, Sept. 10 — African countries are expected to be declared Ebola-free by the end of 2015, said World Health Organization (WHO) Assistant Director-General Bruce Aylward on Wednesday.
Guinea and Sierra Leone are currently considered to be Ebola-affected countries, while Liberia was declared virus-free and entered 90-day intensive surveillance period on September 3.
"These countries can and will hit zero and that this end date of 2015, our target, is really feasible," Aylward said, adding that there were no Ebola cases registered in Guinea, one of the three most hard-hit countries, over the last week.
The current Ebola epidemic started in southern Guinea in December 2013 and later spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Senegal.
As of the beginning of September, some 11,302 people died of Ebola out of 28,107 infected, according to the WHO data. The majority of the infected — 13,609 — are from Sierra Leone, while Liberia has shown the highest mortality rate with 4,808 deaths from the virus. (PNA/Sputnik)

Chapter 9 of Mark Briggs' Journalism Next is called "Data-Driven Journalism and Digitizing Your Life".
This chapter is about the importance of data and proof in any news story.
One thing Briggs emphasizes is the importance of using tools to help your career as a journalist. He says that there is normally minimal risk to trying a new device online, as many of them have free trials or are very inexpensive (Briggs, 244).
One interesting things Briggs says is that technology is
"kind of like driving a car: no matter how cool the car or how many gizmos it has, it's still the driver who makes the decisions that matter."
Here are a few things you can do to help you get more organized and catch up with the digital world:
- Create folders in your email and organize emails. This will help you get the information you need quickly and with ease.
- Make a list of things you need to get done.
- Keep a calendar and write any events or plans you have in it.
- Keep folders of photos on your computer or a hard drive. Make sure these are well-organized by the events.
Some office suites Briggs recommends are Google, Office Live, and Zoho.
These can help keep you organized and up to date on your "to do" lists.

Crochet actual people
Dora J. Momoa posted a topic in Crochet Discussion: Everything ElseHello I have been crocheting for a while now and I was thinking of some new ideas for my dolls. I am interested to know if there is any problem if I crochet actual people like for example Youtubers(my brother likes some in particular so since I was going to make some dolls for him I thought of this), maybe some other famous person if I get requests. Is this okay? I was thinking of maybe making some video tutorials on how to make them. I have my own patterns that I've written myself, so I wouldn't be using someone else's work in any of my dolls. This is more for fun actually but I could maybe sell the doll if someone is interested in buying it. It's just that I have so many people in mind that I can't possibly ask each one if they would be okay with me making a crochet doll inspired by them(so far even those that I have asked haven't responded) I just really want to do this but on the other hand I don't want to cause any problems. Thank you! Dora

Wake up.
Do not miss the sunshine to escape harsh winds.
Weather the storm whether you like it or not.
You are stronger than ever,
think not of sleep again.
Shape up,
or ship out,
as they say,
but ensure that the vessel is not leading astray.
You are the captain, the crew is afraid.
They will tell you the lifeboat is suicide,
a foolish man's ride.
Look alive,
feel dead.
Believe the jive,
drink the bread.
Question it,
get a hint.
Fall asleep,
Wake Up.

The situation in the bundesliga table of results had been changing throughout the previous season. And it concerned not only the struggle for gold medals, but also for places in the European cups zone, as well as for staying in the elite division.
Due to this level of competition, the German championship has managed to reach a brand new level, as many fans have already managed to make sure of. Against the background of unstable Bayern and Borussia, Leipzig became one of the most monolithic teams of the previous season.
In the results table of Bundesliga, the team finished at the third position and, at the same time, managed to reach the German Cup finals. Despite the fact that they didn't win any trophies, the season can be called quite successful for the club, because it qualified for the Champions League.
Now, Leipzig will play in the most prestigious club tournament of the Old Continent, where there are high expectations for it. Unfortunately, the team failed to meet those expectations during its first time in the League and left to the Europa League after the group stage.

Hi Alex,
We always recommend running FAST on untransformed images.
That is, on the originally acquired images, after running BET to remove
non-brain structure, but without applying any spatial transformations.
The reason that intensities change with transformation is that
is required to look-up intensities between the original grid points.
If you want to see your images in MNI space or to do the tracing in this
space then that is fine - just register the images, transform them to
MNI space, do any tracing in this space and then transform your
masks back into the original space. To do this last step you need to
invert the transformation (use InvertXFM or convert_xfm) and then
make sure that you make a floating point output image (for the mask)
and rethreshold it to the desired value (near 0.5 keeps the size about
the same, near 1.0 will "shrink" the mask to leave only voxels which
overlapped greatly with the mask in the MNI space, and near 0.0
will "enlarge" the mask, including any voxels with even small overlaps
with the MNI-space mask). Then, once you've rethresholded, you have
a mask in the original space, and can use this in conjunction with the
FAST output from native space.
Also, FAST works best when it has access to the entire brain (excluding
non-brain structures) so don't use it just on an ROI in case that was
something you were thinking of. To get the amount of gray matter in an
ROI just multiply a binarised mask (that only contains 1's and 0's) of
ROI with the gray matter PVE output from fast and sum the output.
Hope this all makes sense.
All the best,

Endeavors Breaks Ground on First of its kind Veteran Wellness Center
Source: Endeavors
State and local officials joined leaders of Endeavors and the Cohen Veterans Network to break ground today on a new Veteran Wellness Center, the first of its kind in Texas and a new location for the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic.
The Wellness Center will offer comprehensive integrated health services to support the daily wellness choices of any era Veteran and their families. The Center will also house the expansion of the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic to continue caring for post 9/11 Veterans and their families.
Jon Allman, Endeavors President & CEO welcomed Senator Donna Campbell, Dr. Anthony Hassan, Jason Puchot and Endeavors leadership, among others, to the site of the new Veteran Wellness Center and Cohen Clinic. "We are excited to offer low cost wellness services under one roof to Veterans in the San Antonio community," Allman said.
The groundbreaking took place on the lot adjacent to the headquarters showcasing Endeavors campus expansion. The Veteran Wellness Center will cost $5 million to build along with an additional $1.7 million in renovations for the new Military Family Clinic facility. Completion is scheduled for Fall 2020. The Project Architect is RVK Group and F.A. Nunnelly is the General Contractor along with Pape-Dawson Engineers, MEP Engineering, and Lundy & Franke Engineering.
"Endeavors is tackling the issue of Veteran suicide. We have a crisis and progress will be made on that pressing matter," Senator Campbell said. "I know that (Endeavors) is going to be there and continue to be the leader in that battle. We have got to establish hope. When hope is gone, where do they turn? This will be a Center to help our Veterans." Suicide prevention is a priority for the Wellness Center. "The Veterans Wellness Center will offer services that are supported by the 6 principles of wellness. Veterans continue to die by suicide more often than their non-Veteran peers the Wellness Center will allow for Veterans and their families to have increased access to integrated health, dental, mental health and holistic activities which can save lives by improving quality of life," said Dr. Jill Palmer, Senior Director of Clinic Operations.
"The Veterans Wellness Center is Endeavors way of igniting the community to decrease suicide."
"I am proud to say the Network has delivered on our promise and so has the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Endeavors, here in San Antonio," said Dr. Anthony Hassan, Cohen Veteran Network President & CEO. "Locally you have treated more than 2,300 clients since Spring 2016." The clinic is one of 14 locations in the Cohen Veterans Network. While 46% of the clinic's client base are Veterans, 54% represent military families served by the clinic.
Texas has the second largest population of Veterans of any state in the U.S. It is estimated that by 2020, Texas will pass the state of California's Veteran population.
"As a 28 year Veteran myself, one of the many things that attracted me to Endeavors was the incredible support and services we provide Veterans and their families in need. The Wellness Center represents a first in Texas to provide integrated wellness services to those who have sacrificed so much already and I am privileged and honored to be a part of it," said Chip Fulghum, Endeavors Chief Operating Officer.
The target population for the Wellness Center is any era Veteran and their families. Services will include long-term therapy, medication management, primary care, dental services, physical therapy and occupational therapy, nutritional services, massage, acupuncture, yoga & tai chi among others.
"We are very excited to be able to offer these expanded services to our clients. Referring our clients to quality mind, body, spirit set of services will allow the Veterans we serve the opportunity to achieve complete health and wellness," said Annie Erickson Senior Director of Community and Veteran Services.

What is the best gift for long distance relationship?
A relationship is made up of love, affection and respect for another person. To make a relationship stronger and precious, a small act of gift can create the emotions of making someone feel very special.
What is the best gift for long distance relationship?
everyone loves a pleasant surprise and gift giving is an ageless act of kindness that everyone enjoys. In the mundane daily routines, gifts are shower of love that reinforces the bond that is created in the relationship.
Imagine you suddenly decide to surprise your mum with a box of flowers to appreciate her all the hard work and sacrifices she has made for you. Or sending your significant other a box of Cadeau & Co forever flowers to show he how much you appreciate them and how happy they make you. Imagine the love your best friend will feel receiving a gift on their birthday.
To make any relationship special, you need to create memories, and what better way to create memories than giving a gift. By simply sending Cadeau & Co Flowers, you show your loved ones how much they mean to you and they will be so grateful and appreciative for having received such love through a gift that lasts. Imagine them remembering you and appreciating you whenever they see the beautiful flowers you sent them.
Cadeau & Co flowers last up to three years, so you can be sure you will be appreciated for a long time.
Be the one who puts a smile on the faces of the ones you love. Although relationships are not built on material gifts, they play a vital role in making your family, friends and partner feel the love and appreciation you have for them.
Nothing says 'I'm thinking of you' more than a floral arrangement to a friend or a relative that's going through a tough time. These are the reasons we give gifts. These are the roles gifts play in our lives and our relationships. Its value surpasses the monetary value and its sole purpose is to create an emotional bond.
Cadeau & Co make the perfect gift for any occasion and for any relationship. If you haven't purchased a Cadeau& Co flower arrangement for yourself or your loved one yet, hurry up and give them a box right away!
Why do some flowers seem to last so much longer than others and is there a secret potion that you can put in the vase to make them stay fresh? You want to know what the longest lasting inexpensive cut flowers are but you're not sure if you ask where you are buying from if they are telling you the truth.

Sustainability of Management Tools
The sustainability of any management tool is based on its integrity. Its death comes when senior management simply chooses to ignore the management tool or its outcome as it suits their personal agenda. "I promised the investors we would have ten blockbuster+ candidates in the pipeline, and I don't care if that candidate failed Trial by Jury+. Push it forward." Much better the tool never had been used. The damage wrought goes far beyond the sustainability of the tool: individuals learn to disrespect all tools. Man the participant turns to WIIFM+.
The original peccadillo, a hastily made promise by the senior level executive, cascades into a sequence of events that puts in jeopardy all future actions: peccadillo → breach → disrespect for tools → hedging, legalism+, distrust, sabotage, etc.
We discussed earlier how to protect World Class R&D overall. Here we discuss protection of management tools from individual rogue managers. Many of the same lessons apply. We look for the means to anticipate, prevent, detect and react to breaches. The top priority is to protect the integrity of management tools, and consequently the culture of respect for management tools.
Note: readers familiar with Sarbanes-Oxley protections in corporate governance will recognize the arguments below.
We seek timely identification and assessment of existing threats and vulnerabilities, and use them to predict breaches. We examine past breaches, both our own and in other companies. We look for antecedents to those breaches: business situations or personal circumstances leading to the breach. Increase vigilance for potential breaches as our team approaches Key Behavioral Moments+ (e.g., key decision points). Walk the halls looking (with a trained eye) for signals+ of breakdown that could lead to a temptation to breach.
We build protections into the management tools themselves. For example, the verdict of a Trial by Jury is immediately and broadly communicated. We leave no cover-of-darkness in which the temptation to breach can hatch.
We build and nurture senior level advocates for the management tools themselves. These are individuals who see their own personal advancement as being tied to the integrity of the tool. For example, the head of Independent Evaluation+ (one of our recommended tools) has a vested interest in the integrity of the findings and consequences coming from these evaluations.
We insist on a work ethic that highly values contingency planning. Plan B must always be in place. We don't want senior managers pushing forecasts forward based on a hope and a prayer. If Product A doesn't succeed, then there must be a Product B in the wings.
We deliberately build competing interest groups: individuals with comparable power bases on both sides of the equation. Each side will greatly care about the outcome of the management tool. Every outcome has winners and losers, and the consequences are personal to individuals on each side of the equation. Breaches are detected and alarms raised by interested parties.
Individuals are made whole for any damages suffered in the event of a breach. We estimate the damages and the party responsible for the breach ponies up the reparations. We ensure the perpetrator reaffirms his or her support of the management tool, issues a public apology, and puts in place additional mechanisms to forestall future breaches. This is personal. The downside of getting caught at a breach (which is highly likely) must be publicly seen to outweigh any personal benefit gained from committing the breach.
Similar to discussions for the overall protection of R&D, responses to breaches are proportional and escalating. Autonomous mechanisms, those we rely on to handle 80% of our behaviors, must be protected. Interventional mechanisms, directed at the miscreant in the case of a breach, are automatic in their application. Interventional mechanisms are personal, forceful and highly consequential for recipients.
Management Tools and Techniques are integral to any organizational form: they give substance to the form. Their domain is the Investible Unit. We expect parties within the Investible Unit to be responsible for (and supportive of) the integrity of their own management tools & techniques.
Managers disregarding their own tools & techniques will likely see sub-optimal performance in their Investible Unit, the result of an organizational form gone bad. There is no Big Brother to intervene in these breaches – each Investible Unit stands on its own. However Big Brother conducts a performance assessment across all Investible Units+. Individual breaches within the Investible Unit are not directly 'corrected' by Big Brother, but they eventually do come home to roost in the form of sub-standard performance ratings.

Sikla Framo 80 is an innovative metal framing solution with the ability to support loads well beyond the capacity of Unistrut. While there are hundreds of fittings, beam clamps, and beam sections available to make virtually any configuration, Sikla Framo 80 uses only four main basic components. To view the full line of products, check out the Sikla Product catalog: Sikla Catalog
Sikla Framo 80 Beams
The Standard Sikla Framo 80 Beam section is a 3.125″ x 3.125″ perforated, box section. In addition to the high torsional resistance achieved using a totally closed profile, structural elements and pipe supports can be attached on all 4 sides with virtually no placement restrictions. Specifically designed mounting holes combined with special FLS Self Forming Screws ensure precise component placement and secure form-locked mountings.
For higher weight loads, Sikla has designed two larger beam sections for those applications. Contact Unistrut Midwest to determine how Sikla can be used on your project today.
Sikla FLS80 Bolt
The Sikla Framo 80 system is made possible by its innovative bolt system. The Framo 80 system is assembled via thread forming screws. The non-cutting cold formed threads of the screw create their own threads to pilot holes in the perforated Framo 80 beam sections. The low thread forming torque and resulting high clamping force, offers a superior process-reliable tolerance free connection.
Key Facts about the FLS Screw:
- The FLS80 screw does not require a nut to counter lock
- Self-Forming Bolt
- Tolerance Free, Cold-Formed Connection
- Cold-Pressed Connection, but reusable time and time again.
- Vibration Resistant connection makes Sikla Frames safe to transport after fabrication
Sikla Socket Fittings
The Sikla Sockets are the fittings used to connect two beam sections to one another or one beam section to the building structure. Many variations of the socket are available to construct nearly any three dimensional frame. Check out the Sikla Catalog to see the full complement of Socket fittings available.
Cantilever Beam Sections
The Sikla Cantilever Sections are ready to use mounting elements in the Sikla Framo product line. The cantilever arms are essentially beam sections welded to various end plates. This reduces costs of the overall assembly and installation times. There is a wide range of cantilever sections available and they can be found here: Sikla Product Catalog
Other Sikla Components
Sikla is continuously adding new products to the Sikla Framo 80 product group. New components are constantly being added to the catalog to ensure Sikla can be used in any configuration. Some additional common components are:

Holy heatwave
Now, we've endured, I mean enjoyed, three or four days in the 80s. Pretty hot, I say, for mid-March, but it's not unheard of is it? Apparently, it is, with records falling all over.
I do happen to agree with scientists and if they say they have a consensus about global warming, well, I'll buy it. I won't let faith or politics stop my agreement with them. Is this bad and what does it mean?
That will be determined by what kind of July we have. Last year, we had a week in the upper 90s and reaching 100 occasionally.
If we hit 110 degrees, I'm panicking.

Swimming pool covers are known to be the best companion to your pool that will give you a safety assurance for your family and friends.
Swimming pools are considered as the most used in recreational activities and sports, in return, it would really require a series of maintenance. Swimming pool covers are the most ideal tool for a safety protection of your pool. These swimming pool covers are utilized for the purpose of keeping it away from unwanted materials such as, debris, dirt, and dusts when it is not in use. If these pools are not managed well, this could lead to loss and damages.
Benefits Of Having Winter Pool Cover
These covers are the best above ground winter pool cover you can walk on. It will not only restraints dusts and dirt away from the pool but will also preserve falling leaves, as well as harmful chemical solutions at the same time. Sometimes, there are instances that hazardous materials like pins and twigs can get in the pool, so keeping them covered when not in use is really of great help. In tropical countries, evaporation of chemical and water substances in the pool might lead to large damage. With the help of swimming pool covers, it will halt the possibilities of evaporation.

This species has many aliases: idiot fish, channel rockfish, fagiano ("pheasant" in Italian), bonehead, channel cod, gurnard, gurnet, hardhead, hooligan, lobe-finned rockfish, roundfin rockfish, scorpion, slim thornhead, and spinycheeked rockfish. Thornyhead are particularly interesting because they have adapted to the deep "oxygen minimum" layer of the ocean where most fish cannot thrive. They have huge heads, both long and wide, housing very large gills.
Thornyheads do not have swim bladders and are fairly hardy, which means unlike many other species that are brought up from the depths, they can be kept alive for live fish markets or released after capture with a much higher survival rate.
Culinary Tips: Thornyheads are closely related to rockfish, so they are just as versatile and can be substituted for any rockfish recipes. Due to their small size and big heads, they are best prepared whole, roasted, steamed or fried, and eaten off the bone to maximize yield and flavor.
Catch Method: Bottom Trawl, Hook and Line
Sustainability: NOAA fisheries did an assessment in 2013 that found thornyhead stocks to be healthy. All thornyheads are well managed under the West Coast Groundfish Fishery.
- MBA Seafood Watch Rating: Best Choice
- NOAA Fish Stock Sustainability Index: 4 out of 4

Dubbo's Taronga Western Plains Zoo to start regent honeyeaters breeding program
Dubbo's Taronga Western Plains Zoo will play a key role in efforts to save one of Australia's most endangered birds.
Regent honeyeaters have moved into purpose-built habitat this week, raising hopes for the future of the species.
The zoo has started a conservation breeding program for the critically endangered species, to expand on two decades of recovery efforts by Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
In a milestone for the project, four pairs of regent honeyeaters moved into their new digs at Dubbo.
Zoo team members told of the expanded program being crucial to securing a future for the species.
It increased capacity to breed more regent honeyeaters and help supplement and boost wild populations, keeper Andrew Elphinstone said.
"They're a nomadic bird that's range extended right across the woodlands system of eastern Australia and in the past couple of decades they've been in drastic decline because of habitat loss in those systems," Mr Elphinstone said.
"Taronga is expanding our breed-for-release program to Taronga Western Plains so we can increase the capacity of birds that we're putting back into the wild, to boost those wild populations."
In a recent report card, the National Recovery Plan for the Regent Honeyeater was highlighted as a success, particularly for its breed-for-release program and for slowing the rate of decline of wild populations, Mr Elphinstone said.
But he cautioned there was a long way to go.
"While we need to celebrate these small wins, it's sort of a bittersweet milestone that slowing the rate of decline is a success when we actually want that population in the world to be growing," he said.
"Expanding our breed-for-release [work] and putting more birds back out into the wild is part of the solution, but we also need to protect and maintain good habitat for the birds in the wild."
The pairs were settling in well, keeper Kara Stevens said. The welcome sound of babies chirping is not expected this season.
"We are pretty much making sure they are settling in first, and then we are hoping that we will kick off our breeding season next year in 2020," Ms Stevens said.
It's a rewarding program for the keeper.
"I personally feel it's extremely exciting," Ms Stevens said.
"To be able to contribute to the research, conservation and release of these birds into the wild is a big highlight for me and has been one of my main career goals since starting in zookeeping.
"So to come on with this amazing team for this research program and these particular birds is an exciting time for me."

"My focus is treatment based Massage Therapy and Structural Integration to relieve pain and bring alignment into the body. My passion for Massage Therapy began about 10 years ago when I experienced the connection between yoga and bodywork as an alternative to pain relief.
Throughout my career, I have been able to travel, learn from incredible people and follow my other passions. I lived in Big Sky, where I worked as a Massage Therapist at a Spa and was able to snowboard almost every day. Then, I lived in Jackson, WY. for 3 years, where I worked with a Rolfer that taught me the techniques and benefits of fascial manipulation and structural integration. After that, I moved to Byron Bay, Australia, where I learned to surf and worked in an energy healing kinesiology clinic providing a more treatment-oriented massage. After a year in Austrailia, the mountains called to me and I moved to Wanaka, New Zealand where I spent six months snowboarding in the Southern Alps and working in a sports clinic specializing in treating competitive road bikers and swimmers. This is where I learned specialized techniques for treating injuries in the shoulder girdle and I was able to take my skills to the next level.
The last stop was Japan, where I snowboarded the most snow I've ever seen and worked in a Physio clinic treating skiers. Now, my partner and I have since started a family, and have moved back to Bozeman where I have taught Swedish Massage at HealthWorks Institute in addition to my massage practice. I love sharing my love and commitment to helping people relieve pain in a more natural way."
James Beaudry, LMT
"I decided to pursue massage therapy after experiencing the benefits first-hand. I had some crippling injuries from working manual labor and powerlifting in my early and mid-20's. After effective massage treatment sessions, I was on my way to full range of movement and being pain-free.
This was a turning point for me. I wanted to help people who were having their life impaired by pain and mobility issues like I had been.
By taking a scientific and evidence-based approach I have been able to help my clients reduce their pain and help prevent further injury. I utilize Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, MFR (also known as Myofascial Release), Neuromuscular Therapy, Kinesio Taping and MET (Muscle Energy Technique).

UFC have confirmed the interim lightweight title bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson which was due to take place at UFC 209 tomorrow night has been cancelled.
Earlier, the undefeated Nurmagomedov was hospitalised after falling ill, and on doctor's recomendations has not been cleared to fight.
The UFC have cited 'weight management medical issues' as the reason for The Eagle for falling ill.
The fight was being built up as potentially one of the most hotly anticipated lightweight fights of all time, with the 24-0 Russian facing Ferguson, who is off the back of a great win over former champion Rafael Dos Anjos.
In a statement to MMAFighting.com, UFC have said the following:
"UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov was transported to Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center Thursday evening due to weight management medical issues. He was treated and has been discharged, UFC officials confirmed.
"The scheduled interim lightweight championship bout between Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson at UFC 209 has been cancelled on the doctor's recommendation.
"UFC 209 emanates from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Saturday night live on Pay-Per-View at 10pm/7pm ETPT. Tyron Woodley takes on Stephen Thompson with his welterweight championship on the line in a rematch from their 2016 Fight of the Year contender at UFC 205."
This will be a huge blow to both fighters, as the winner would have been within touching distance of a mouthwatering unification bout with Conor McGregor.
