Republican members voted 5-3 to pass the proposal. In addition to those voting "present," two Democrats supported the measure; two opposed it.

When it comes to battery life, only one word comes to mind: amazing. A 4,000mAh battery paired with a Snapdragon 845 is basically the same setup as the Galaxy Note9, which was considered the king of battery life until the release of the Mate 20 Pro. And just like the Samsung phablet, the Pocophone F1 has some of the most impressive battery life on any phone you can find today, and should easily be able to provide you with up to two days of use.

These slimline wallet cases wrap your iPhone in luxurious leather that only looks better as time marches on. I’ve been using mine for nearly a year now, and the brown leather case has taken on a glorious patina, like a broken-in catcher’s mitt or your grandpa’s treasured pipe pouch. While the supple leather develops that delicious, well-worn look, the Edward Field case suffers none of the breakdowns that can afflict similar designs. Mine still holds five credit cards with no noticeable loosening, so I harbor no fear that one will flutter away when I whip out my iPhone. The micro-suction sheet that holds the phone in place shows no sign of loosening its grip, either, although you can remove the device at any time with no sticky residue.

Acoustical testing by Metropolitan following installation of the ceiling panels validated the choice of treatments. Reverberation time dropped an average of 56% in the eight spaces that were tested, including a 79% drop in one of the classrooms and a 64% drop in one of the studios.

Custom built, single owner full brick ranch on 4 acres. This country estate is very private, yet just a few miles south of town. Main level bedrooms & Main level Laundry. Very open floor plan with soaring ceilings, lots of natural light, wood burning fireplace w/floor to ceiling brick. Very well-appointed finishes with upgraded cabinetry and Granite Countertops. Solid surface flooring including real Walnut Hardwoods and Teak Bamboo. Anderson Windows & 6 Panel solid doors. Finished walkout basement could be used as distinct living area if desired with its own private entry as well as 2nd full sized Kitchen, 2nd Laundry room, bed/bath etc. Although this house is fairly new, lot of other big-ticket upgrades have been completed as well incl. new HVAC in 2016, New W/H in 2017, & new Architectural roof less than 8 years ago. Property also has 30 x 48 Pole Barn for add’tl toy storage. Great value opportunity here for a Custom home on 4 Acres! Compare to what is out there & see!

WASHINGTON — Members of a special joint committee tasked with recommending ways to overhaul spending practices say Congress’ current budgeting system is broken, but they aren’t ready to recommend any steps to improve matters.

Today’s garage is much more than a place to park the cars. Upgrades range from custom storage units and new floors to fitness rooms or man caves.

Chameleons themselves, Mr. Koolhaas and Ms. Prada made natural confederates. She was the famous communist turned high-fashion mogul whose empire evolved from bags and backpacks constructed out of an industrial nylon lining material. He was a prophet of global cities who declared the countryside his real passion after everyone else jumped on the urbanist bandwagon.

Boral TruExterior trim and siding material is made of fly ash, a byproduct of burning coal, along with a proprietary blend of polymers. According to Boral, it is nearly impervious to moisture and termites, and is suitable for ground and masonry contact. What that means, essentially, is that many of the accommodations that builders make to keep wood siding safe from rot—such as leaving gaps where the siding runs into rooflines or horizontal surfaces—don’t apply to this product. If it does what they say it does, there’s a lot to like. Time will tell.

The bi-conductive surfaces have a periodic arrangement of low-conductivity material embedded within a high-conductivity substrate. The thermal conductivity of the epoxy (<1 W/mK) is several orders of magnitude less than that of copper (~400 W/mK). When submerged in a fluid and heated from the underside, this creates an in-plane variation in surface temperature. Due to the extreme conductivity difference, there is negligible heat conducted through the epoxy divisions during nucleate boiling (see thermal circuit analysis in the Supplementary Material). As such, the wall superheat temperature above the epoxy divisions will be notably reduced as compared to that experienced over the copper sections. At low average wall superheats, prior to bubble nucleation, these in-plane temperature variations will drive natural convection flows aligned with the epoxy divisions similar to Rayleigh-Bérnard convection rolls. It has been shown that this sort of flow instability is immediately triggered for any finite superheating with a spatially varying surface temperature27. The resulting flow-field draws cooler liquid down toward the surface from above the epoxy divisions, while warmer fluid rises from above the hot copper. At these early stages the counter-rotating flows will produce a stagnation point in the center of the copper, resulting in a local minimum in convective heat transfer coefficient and therefore a local maximum in surface temperature28. As the wall superheat is increased this local maximum temperature promotes bubble nucleation along the center of the copper regions. This results in the formation of an ordered flow-field, as shown schematically in Fig. 1e, which persists at increasing thermal loadings. The in-plane variations in wall superheat take a periodic form with a wavelength equal to the pitch between epoxy divisions, P. This superheat wavelength dictates the nature and location of the ordered pathways of escaping vapor and replenishing liquid returning to the surface during nucleate boiling. Figure 1f shows an image of the onset of nucleate boiling, where the first few nucleation sites are activated on a bi-conductive surface (N = 4 cm−1) at a wall superheat of ~5 K. As can be seen, the vapor bubbles preferentially nucleate near the center of the copper due to the local maximum in surface temperature. This is consistently seen for all of the surfaces tested, and demonstrates that the wettability of the epoxy is not promoting nucleation due to a lower surface energy (see supplemental movies). Additionally, Fig. 1g shows how the superheat wavelength, P, imparts a level of control over the bubble diameter during lateral coalescence. By ordering nucleation sites and liquid return pathways, the size of bubbles undergoing lateral coalescence across an epoxy division is tuned to nominally coincide with the superheat wavelength, P.
