One Piece Vs Two Piece Toilets: Which One is Right for You?
Buying a new toilet isn't just about purchasing the first one you see anymore. A new toilet is something that you want to last for a long time, therefore, it could be classed as an investment. And something that is going to play a key role in your day to day life for many years to come should be carefully considered.
While there are a few notable differences to consider before choosing between a one piece or a two piece toilet, there are also a few things that are similar with both kinds of toilet and still need to be taken into account when you're choosing your new toilet: the flushing system and the brand you would like for example.
In general, one piece toilets are smaller due to the fact that the tank is connected directly to the toilet. This makes them a good choice if space is an issue.
One piece toilets sit lower too, making them a good choice if you have young children or any disabled adults who will be using the toilet on a regular basis.
A two piece toilet is generally higher from the floor and is ideal if someone elderly who has trouble sitting down low is going to be using it.
When compared with models that have similar specs, generally speaking a two piece toilet is cheaper to buy than a one piece. However, unless you're planning on installing the toilet yourself, a one piece toilet is easier to install than a two piece meaning your plumber's bill should be significantly lower for a one piece.
It's also worth considering buying a toilet that includes WaterSense if saving money is your concern. Not only does it save money on water bills and conserve the environment, you might also be eligible for a rebate.
When it comes to keeping your toilet clean and germ free, one piece toilets are much lower maintenance. Due to the fact they have less piping and therefore less fiddly spaces to get into, they are quick and easy to clean both inside and out.
A one piece toilet is more durable than a two piece toilet, owing to the fact it comprises less parts, which means there are less things that can go wrong. However, due to the fact they sit lower to the ground, if something does go wrong, it can be hard to repair any problems yourself. This means that you might end up spending more money on repairs, but problems will occur less frequently.
There's really no right or wrong answer to this. The fact is that both one piece and two piece toilets have their good points and their bad points, and the decision really comes down to your own personal preference.
A one piece toilet is a good choice if you have a smaller space or if cleaning the toilet is your biggest bug bear.
A two piece toilet is a good choice if you have issues with sitting lower to the ground, or if the budget of the initial purpose is a big factor in your decision making process.
Whether you opt for a one piece toilet or a two piece toilet, there are hundreds of style and design options available and we highly recommend you do some research and read some impartial reviews of the various options.

16. Luke Thirkettle
Born (age) June 09, 1999
Debut date January 19, 2019
Luke Thirkettle is a product of the youth setup at Invicta having risen through the junior ranks in Gillingham before making his senior debut for the Mustangs in the NIHL South Division 2 in 2015/16. Between 2015 and 2017 he competed for both his junior teams and in the NIHL South's second tier before signing full time for the Mustangs for 2017/18. His performances ensured he kept his place on the team's roster last season during which he featured 22 times in Division 2.
When injuries saw the Dynamos squad depleted over the second half of the campaign, Thirkettle was then called up to the NIHL South's top tier where he played 8 times for the Mos – grabbing an assist on his home debut. Now the young forward will be hoping to get more points under his belt for the side that it has long been his ambition to represent as he commits to the Dynamos for 2019/20.
"Luke is another both young and local guy who I was keen to have involved with the Dynamos setup again this year. He stepped in last season when we needed him and proved that he is willing to listen, learn and improve. He has certainly developed over the least year and I want to see that continue in 2019/10 so that he reaches his potential. He might not have been playing the game for many years but I believe that if he keeps working hard he can cement a place in the team for seasons to come. He will bring a good work ethic to the side and help us build for the future".

If you've ever wanted to see Jon Hamm delivering a speech only to be interrupted by an explosion, now's your chance. Bleecker Street has released the trailer for "Beirut," an '80s-set thriller co-starring Rosamund Pike. Watch below.
Here's the synopsis: "A U.S. diplomat (Hamm) flees Lebanon in 1972 after a tragic incident at his home. Ten years later, he is called back to war-torn Beirut by CIA operatives (Pike) to negotiate for the life of a friend he left behind." Hamm most recently appeared in "Baby Driver" and "Marjorie Prime," whereas Pike stars alongside Christian Bale in the underrated Western "Hostiles." They're joined in "Beirut" by Dean Norris, Larry Pine, and Shea Whigham.
Tony Gilroy ("Rogue One," "Michael Clayton," the "Bourne" movies) wrote the film, which "The Machinist" helmer Brad Anderson directed. Bleecker Street will release "Beirut" in theaters on April 13.

A Hubble űrtávcső (angolul Hubble Space Telescope, HST) csillagászati műhold, az amerikai Nagy obszervatóriumok sorozat első tagja, mely közeli infravörös, látható fény és ultraibolya tartományban végez észleléseket. Nevét Edwin Hubble huszadik századi csillagászról kapta, aki az elsők között érvelt a mellett, hogy a távoli galaxisok vöröseltolódását a világegyetem tágulása okozza. Fő alkatrésze egy 2,4 méter átmérőjű Ritchey–Chrétien-távcső, mely négy, a távcső élettartama alatt többször cserélt műszerbe továbbítja az összegyűjtött fényt. Az egyik legnépszerűbb és legismertebb űreszköz, angol nyelvterületen gyakran csak a "Nép távcsövének" (The People's Telescope) nevezik. Tervezett utódja a várhatóan 2021-ben indított James Webb űrtávcső, bár az csak az infravörös tartományban fog dolgozni és narancssárga illetve piros látható fényben, annak további hullámhosszain nem. A programot a NASA vezeti az Európai Űrügynökség (ESA) részvételével.

Küldetés
A HST-t 1990. április 24-én indították a Kennedy Űrközpontból a Discovery űrrepülőgéppel az STS–31 küldetés keretében. Az első képet az NGC 3532 nyílthalmazról készítette, 1990. május 20-án. A felbocsátást követő években hibák jelentkeztek: valahányszor a HST belépett a Föld árnyékába, vagy kilépett onnan, a napelemtáblák beremegtek, és a vibráció zavarta a távcső működését. A beállítást szolgáló 6 giroszkóp közül 3 meghibásodott, s ez már veszélyeztette a HST programját.

Ennek ellenére az első másfél évben 900 csillagászati célpontról 1900 megfigyelés született, köztük olyanok, mint a Plútó/Charon rendszer felbontása, az SN 1987A szupernóva körüli gázgyűrű felfedezése, a Szaturnuszon egy óriási légköri vihar fényképezése stb.

Nagyjavítások

Servicing Mission 1
Az első űrbéli javítására 1993 decemberében került sor, amikor az STS–61 küldetés során az Endeavour űrrepülőgép űrhajósai a HSP (High Speed Photometer) helyére beépítették a COSTAR (Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement) korrekciós optikát, a Wide Field and Planetary Camera (WFPC) helyére pedig a beépített korrektorral rendelkező WFPC2 kamerát építették be.

Servicing Mission 2
1997 februárjában (STS–82, Discovery) a Goddard High-Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) és a Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) helyére a Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) és a Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) került.

Servicing Mission 3A
1999 decemberében (STS–103, Discovery) kicserélték a tervezettnél gyorsabban tönkre menő és emiatt a távcső működését lehetetlenné tevő meghibásodott giroszkópokat (miattuk kellett az SM–3 egy részét a tervezettnél jóval korábban, a cserére szánt összes berendezés elkészülte elé hozni), és a központi számítógépet.

Servicing Mission 3B

2002 februárjában (STS–109, Columbia) a Faint Object Camera (FOC) helyére az Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) került, a NICMOS infravörös kamerát, mely kifogyott a hűtőközegből, új hűtőrendszerrel látták el.

A 2003-as Columbia-katasztrófa után életbe léptetett biztonsági előírások szerint, ha a felbocsátás után az űrrepülőgép megsérül, akkor lehetővé kell tenni, hogy a legénység eljusson a Nemzetközi Űrállomásra. Ezért a NASA akkori igazgatója törölte a már előre betervezett Hubble szervizeléseket. Ennek eredményeként egymás után hibásodtak meg a fedélzeti műszerek. 2006-ban az űrtávcső fő megfigyelő-berendezése, az Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) kétszer is leállt, júniusban és szeptemberben. A hiba egy nagy felbontású csatorna (High Resolution Channel, HRC) áramellátásában lépett fel. Miután egy új megoldást találtak az űrhajósok vészhelyzetbeni kimentésére, Mike Griffin, a NASA akkori igazgatója engedélyezett még egy negyedik szervizküldetést, 2008-ban.

Servicing Mission 4
Az ötödik nagyjavítás, az STS–125 küldetés keretében jelentős halasztással, 2009. május 11-én indult.

Az obszervatórium ezzel a küldetéssel elérte a tudományos teljesítménye csúcsát. Az STS–125 küldetés után elért eredmények meggyőző bizonyítékai a küldetés sikerének.

Két új eszközt, a Wide Field Camera 3-at és a Cosmic Origins Spectrograph-ot telepítették, és két másikat, az Advanced Camera for Surveys-t és a Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph-ot áramköri szinten javították. Kicserélték továbbá a Hubble-t működtető akkumulátorokat is, mert a NASA tudósai szerint már veszélyeztették az űrtávcső megbízható működését.

A küldetés tudósai azt is bejelentették 2009. szeptember 9-én, hogy a közeli infravörös kamera (Near Infrared Camera) és a Multi-Object spektrométer (Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS)) három hónapon át tartó kalibrálás és tesztelés után újra üzemel.

Az űrtávcső felépítése

A Hubble űrtávcsövet egy 2,4 méter átmérőjű Ritchey-Chrétien-Cassegrain főtükörrel látták el. Teljes hossza 13,2 méter, átmérője 4,2 méter, tömege 11,1 tonna. Az ultraibolyától kezdve a látható tartományon keresztül az infravörösig képes érzékelni a beeső fényt (115–2500 nanométer között). A Napról és a Merkúrról a túl erős napfény miatt nem képes felvételt készíteni, ugyanis az tönkretenné érzékeny műszereit. Hetente 120 gigabyte adatot állít elő.

Műszerei
A Hubble űrtávcsövet modulárisra tervezték, hogy a már pályán keringő műhold meglévő alkatrészeit idővel újabbakra cserélhessék, így követve a technika fejlődését. Az egyes fejlesztésekkel nemcsak a berendezés megbízhatóságát növelték, de minden alkalommal jelentősen javult a tudományos adatok minősége is.

Indulásakor a fedélzetén lévő műszerek:
 Wide Field and Planetary Camera (WFPC) – széles látószögű és planetáris kamera
 Faint Object Camera (FOC) – halvány objektumokra specializált kamera, az ESA-nál építették
 Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) – spektrográf
 Goddard High-Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) – spektrográf
 High Speed Photometer (HSP) – fotométer
Később beépített műszerek:
 Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 - a WFPC egy fejlettebb változata
 Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrograph (NICMOS) – spektrográf
 Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) – korrekciós optika, mely lehetővé tette, hogy a Hubble lélegzetelállítóan éles képeket készíthessen
 Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) - spektrográf és kamera egyben, széles hullámtartományban képes felvételt készíteni (a közeli infravöröstől egészen az ultraibolyáig)
 Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) - színképelemző
 Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) - széles látószögű felmérésekhez szükséges kamera
 Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) - spektrográf
 Wide Field Camera 3 - a WFPC-2 egy fejlettebb változata

Kutatási eredmények

Feladat
Az űrtávcső feladata megegyezik a Földön alapított obszervatóriumok, vagyis megfigyelő-állomások feladatával, ami az égitestek és azok egymásra való hatásának megfigyelése, rájuk vonatkozó adatok mérése, vagy becslése. Ezt a feladatot a világűrbe helyezett távcsövek könnyebben és nagyobb pontossággal tudják elvégezni, mint a földi teleszkópok, mert az előbbiek esetén a sugárzásnak nem kell a torzító atmoszférán áthatolnia, de az utóbbiak előnye, hogy a távcsőátmérő nem akadály.

A Hubble első, talán legfontosabb vívmánya volt az igen távoli világűr megfigyelése, ami a világegyetem régebbi múltjának kutatásával egyenértékű.

Fontos eredmények
"Nagyon távoli galaxisok infravörös képe, a NICMOS felvétele" című kép a NASA felvétele. A NICMOS a "Közeli infravörös fényképezőgép" és a látható hullámhosszon működő több képalkotású spektrométeres "Fejlesztett (ang. advanced) fényképezőgép" együttes használatával dolgozik. Az előbbivel felvett kép 2003. november 27-én készült. A Földre alapozott megfigyelés az égnek a Hubble által itt bemutatott részén, ami a Fornax csillagzatban a telihold kb. 10%-ának megfelelő területét képviseli, csak 5-6 csillagot figyelhet meg. A kép a megfigyelés idejét az Ősrobbanás ideje utáni 400-800 millió év közötti korra korlátozza A kép javított és nagyítható formában ismét megjelent 2012. szeptember 25-én (csak kattints a listán a megfelelő jegyzetre)

Az angol Daily Mail újság internetes kiadásának, a DailyMailOnline-nak 2012. november 24-i száma jelenti a két űrtávcső, a Hubble és a Spitzer együttműködéséből származó felfedezést, ami az eddig megfigyeltek közül a tőlünk legtávolabbi égitesteket mutatja be. A MACS0647-JD-nek elnevezett apró galaxis ide 13,3 milliárd fényévre van. Ez csak 420 millió évvel az Ősrobbanás utáni időszakból származik, amikor tehát a Világegyetem csak 420 millió éves volt, a csillagrendszerek gyors kialakulása időszakában. Ezt az időszakot a Világegyetem gyors expanziója, vagyis kiterjedése jellemzi, ami magyarázata a galaxisok kis kiterjedésének a mai galaxisokhoz viszonyítva. A most felfedezett galaxis nagysága átmérője például csak 600 fényév, ami eltörpül a mi galaxisunk, a Tejút a  fényéves átmérője mellett.

A legtávolabbi galaxis, amit eddig észlelni tudtunk, az űrtávcső által 2016-ban felfedezett GN-z11 amely tőlünk 13,4 milliárd fényévre található.

További tervek
 A megfigyelések között szerepelnek a Kuiper-öv objektumai a Naprendszerünk peremén, bolygók születése más csillagok körül, és a Naprendszeren kívüli bolygók légköri összetételének és szerkezetének "szondázása".
 Vannak nagyratörő tervek, hogy elkészítsék a legmélyebb univerzum közeli infravörös portréját, hogy felfedjék korábban soha nem látott, születő galaxisok létezését, amik akkor léteztek, amikor a világegyetem kevesebb mint 500 millió éves volt.
 További tervek megkísérlik megvilágítani a sötét energia problémáját.

A Hubble űrtávcső 2021-ben is üzemel, és előreláthatólag 2030–2040-ig marad üzemben. Utódát, a James Webb űrtávcsövet előreláthatólag 2021. október 31-én bocsátják fel.

Kevésbé ismert tények
 Az 1995-ös évek végén a Hubble földi személyzete a távcsövet a világűr látszólag üres területe irányában hagyta tíz napig működni. Sokan úgy gondolták, hogy a hosszú expozíciós időnek semmi haszna nem lesz. De az eredményül kapott, "Hubble Deep Field" néven ismert felvétel elképesztő volt. Rengeteg olyan galaxist mutatott, ami korábban ismeretlen volt a tudósok előtt. Ezek között voltak a legtávolabbi csillagrendszerek felfedezése is. A csillagászok megismételték a kísérletet 2004-ben ("Ultra Deep Field" néven), ami a világűr újabb mélységeibe engedett betekintést. Az új felvételek több mint 5000 galaxist tartalmaznak, közülük némelyik 13,2 milliárd fényév távolságra van. Ezekkel a felvételekkel a 13,7 milliárd évvel ezelőtti ősrobbanás is tanulmányozható.
 A távcső alapvetően fekete-fehérnek megfelelő képeket készít különféle hullámhosszakon. Ezeket a csillagászok az utómunkálatok során összedolgozzák és egy-egy képben egyesítik, amiken a különféle hullámhosszakat eltérő színek jelképeznek. Többnyire vörös, kék és zöld szűrőket alkalmaznak a felvételeknél, így a képek megfelelő részei is ezeket a színeket kapják. Mivel a Hubble az emberi szemnek láthatatlan utlraibolya és infravörös hullámhosszon is képes érzékelni a fényt, a tudósok ezeket további színek megjelenítésével jelenítik meg, hogy az egyébként nem látható részletek is láthatóvá váljanak.
 A Hubble űrtávcsőnél alkalmazott képalkotó technológia segít a mellrák kimutatásában. Az úgynevezett "képalkotó spektrográf" (amit a Hubble a nagyon nagy tömegű fekete lyukak kutatására alkalmazott),  alkalmas arra, hogy a női mellszöveteket vizsgálva különbséget tegyen a jóindulatú és rosszindulatú daganatok között.
 Elvileg bárki tehet javaslatot a Hubble űrteleszkóp felhasználására. A Johns Hopkins University's Space Telescope Science Institute évente közzétesz egy nyílt felhívást, amiben a Hubble megfigyelési célpontjaira lehet javaslatot tenni. Nincs megkötés arra, hogy ki tehet javaslatot, de a verseny meglehetősen erős. Általában több száz csillagász tesz javaslatot, amik közül szakmai zsűri választja ki a megvalósítandókat. A javaslatoknak nagyjából 20%-a valósul meg.
 Az ismertté vált galaxisok száma legalább a tízszerese az eddig ismert értéknek, elvileg legalább 2 billió galaxis lenne megfigyelhető, de ezek a jelenlegi eszközökkel túl halványak.

You have a lot more control over how much you pay for an action with these campaigns and if you have a breakthrough that dramatically improves your results, you may want to renegotiate your CPA with a publisher or scrap the campaign altogether.

Fiction – paperback; Black Swan; 240 pages; 2017.
Shane Connaughton is probably best known as the co-writer of the screenplay for the film My Left Foot for which he was nominated for an Academy Award in 1989. He's also an actor, who has appeared in a wide range of films and TV dramas, including Coronation Street and Neil Jordan's The Miracle.
A Border Station, his fiction debut, was shortlisted for the Guinness Peat Aviation Book Award upon publication in 1989. It has recently been republished by Black Swan to tie in with the sequel, Married Quarters, which came out earlier this year (and which I bought in Dublin in the summer and am now looking forward to reading very much).
It's a beautiful and eloquent book set in the 1950s that follows the day-to-day dramas of a young boy growing up in rural Ireland in a remote house, attached to a police barracks, that has no electricity, no running water.
We never find out the boy's name, nor do we find out his age, but we do know his father is a fierce, bad-tempered man, a police sergeant at a Garda station on the border between the Six Counties and the Republic of Ireland.
We also know he thinks the world of his mother, a good-looking, mild-mannered woman, with whom he shares a bed, and he loves to spend his time outdoors, exploring the rolling green hills and country lanes by bicycle despite the often miserable weather.
As often as he could, he escaped from the barracks to roam the drumlin fields or sit with the farmers in hedge or house until the rain had stopped.
There was water everywhere. In the sky, in the lakes, in the light; running off the hills, off the trees, off the roofs and cornered into barrels; in the lime-bottomed well, in the village pump, in the rain gauge at the rear of the Station, always in the air and constantly on tap in women's eyes and children's hearts.
'They're born with water in their veins instead of blood,' his father said. Bucketing rain they called 'A damp class of a day'.
The story, which is supposedly based on Connaughton's own childhood, unfolds in seven interlinked chapters or — whisper it — short stories. There's no real plot, instead we get a series of vignettes focusing on the boy's home life. There's nothing about school, little about friends; his world essentially revolves around his parents: the mother he idealises; the father he fears.
Because it's written from a small boy's point of view, the reader comprehends more than the child himself. We see that there are problems between his parents in the "bedroom department"; that his dad does not necessarily wield his power in a fair way; that he is prejudiced against Protestants or those that live over the border; that it may, in fact, be inappropriate for the boy to share a bed with his mother.
And it is this gap between a child's naivety and the real world that makes A Border Station so deeply moving: it's completely unsentimental, but is infused with a lingering sense of sadness, of people's potential being thwarted by circumstance, religion and bad behaviour.
But it's not all doom and gloom. There are some terrific set pieces, some of which are ripe with black humour. The chapter entitled Beatrice is actually laugh-out-loud funny — the boy's father deliberately chops down a tree he shouldn't chop down on the neighbouring demesne owned by Lady Sarah Butler-Coote, an octogenarian Protestant spinster, and then pretends it is an accident. It's tinged with sadness and a deep sense of injustice though, for the boy is blamed — and he saw it coming but is too young to do anything about it.
All in all, A Border Station is written with an almost unbearable ring of authenticity, nicely balanced with empathy, pathos and a good sense of humour. Reminiscent of the late great John McGahern, this is a truly lovely read. I can't wait to crack open the sequel.
I immediately thought of McGahern's The Barracks as soon as I saw this! (That's the one you gave me).
There are definite similarities, not least the boy's love for his mother, his fear of his father and the Garda station setting.
Fathers aren't represented kindly in Irish literature, it seems to me.
Really like Ireland as a setting for books, and the book sounds great, thanks.
He was a new name to me, too. I discovered his books in Hodges Figgis in Dublin, possibly my favourite bookshop in the whole world because it has an entire wall of Irish literary fiction and I always discover a few new gems when I visit.
It sounds good though I'm not a huge fan of child narrators as a rule. Have you read much other Connaughton? The 1950s seems a popular period for Irish fiction, or is that just a false impression I've picked up somehow?
It's told in third person, so not a child narrator as such; you basically just see things from his POV.
I guess the 50s is popular because it was the height of the Catholic Churches rule over the Republic: they controlled schools and every facet of people's lives and such conditions were oppressive, leading to all kinds of social/economic/political/sexual tensions: perfect fodder for fiction. I think I like reading about this era because of the two faces everyone seemed to have: the holy public face and the secret private face.
Terrific review. Sounds like a book I would so enjoy. Missed it first time around. Not this time.
Thanks for your comment. (Sorry, the blog's taken a bit of a back seat lately so only just seen your comment.) This is certainly a great book and I really look forward to reading the follow up shortly.

Everything you need to know about Cape Town's Day Zero plans
Read nextBlack Mirror is getting a fifth season
As Cape Town's water crisis deepens, and Day Zero draws nearer, a lot of questionable information is currently circulating on the internet.
But the City of Cape Town is finally getting its act together — at least in terms of providing regular updates on the progress of its disaster plan, what Day Zero will mean for all Capetonians, and how its water collection points will work.
Although it's still calling on users to reduce consumption, in addition to new social media campaigns including #DefeatDayZero, there's no doubt that Mayor Patricia de Lille's words of "We have reached the point of no return" still resonates.
And we're probably all freaking out. A little.
To ease those worries, here's everything we know so far, based on communications from the City of Cape Town and other official sources (as of 5 March 2018).
The City of Cape Town now has a "Disaster Operations Centre". What is it?
It's a fancy name for the City of Cape Town's team that will be executing the "City's Water Disaster Plan, which will take effect in the event of Day Zero".
Richard Bosman, the City's executive director of safety and security, will head up the DOC.
The DOC will be operational as of Monday 29 January 2018.
In the event of Day Zero, who will continue to receive water?
"Strategic commercial areas, high-density areas with significant risk of increased burden of disease, and critical services, such as hospitals, will continue to receive drinking water through normal channels," the City announced in its Day Zero Disaster Plan FAQ [pdf].
The City has not yet confirmed which areas will be exempt from the Day Zero switch off.
"Densely populated informal settlements" will also not have their water switched off.
What's the latest regarding the "water collection points"?
The DOC will manage the points, including security, access and overall efficiency. This requires the City to "troubleshoot" all 200 proposed points across the city.
According to the City of Cape Town, the number of water collection points have not been finalised, but around 200 should be available across the city. 149 sites have been confirmed to date.
The sites will include areas for pedestrians and vehicle collections.
Each point will have between 50 and 200 taps, while some collection points may allow for "drive through water collection".
The City assumes that each person will spend five minutes at each point.
Operating times have also not been finalised as yet, but these will be adjusted accordingly for each collection point.
You will need to provide your own containers.
What about those who cannot make it to these collection points daily?
"Water tankers will be used to deliver water to vulnerable groups such as old age homes and care facilities," the City announced in a release.
The City is also reportedly in talks with bottled water suppliers to ramp up production for those who'd rather purchase water.
For those who cannot collect water themselves, others can collect on your behalf.
"It is important that persons are permitted to collect water for others as not all members of society will be able to collect water for themselves, for example young children, the elderly and disabled," the City explained.
Residents can also go to "any [water collection] point of their choice".
Do you need to provide identification information to access water at these water points?
"We want to stress that no one will be turned away from the Water Collection Points. All persons living in Cape Town will be entitled to collect water at these points. No one will be required to provide any identification to collect their daily allocation of water," the City clarified.
Users of the water collection site will however be prevented from "collecting far above their daily water allocation".
"Officials will be onsite to monitor potential abuse, and residents are also encouraged to report any abuse they witness."
The City may however allow one user to collect up to 100-litres for four people, making it easier for those with families to collect water.
What about security?
South African Police Services, the South African National Defence Force and Metro police will be deployed at various points across the city.
Sites will also be ranked by security risk, with officials distributed both inside and outside collection points accordingly.
What about potential health risks and the sewerage system?
"Outbreak response teams" have been established, who will monitor trends and various cases of diseases.
The City has also asked citizens that have collected grey water, rain water and borehole water to prioritise it for flushing to "help keep the sewage system functioning".
It also recommended that Capetonians use sea water, spring water and water from rivers and wetlands to flush.
Can I still use Cape Town's springs?
The City won't bar people from accessing water from the natural springs around the peninsula.
On 31 January 2018, mayco member for safety and security JP Smith announced that the City will be "improving the management" of the Springs Way water point in Newlands.
City enforcement will be on duty, traffic services will manage congestion and the site itself will be open between 7am and 10pm daily.
There's one caveat though:
In the interest of speeding up the queues and allowing everybody fair access to the spring water, each person will be requested to only fill containers of up to 25 litres at a time to ensure that no one person holds up the queue — people are welcome to re-join the queue to fill more containers, but it is becoming essential that all those visiting the site be given a fair chance to collect water without some delaying the queues due to filling up hundreds of litres at a time.
Smith also stated that the current spring water accessible at the Spring Way point will be diverted to the Newlands swimming pool — largely due to congestion.
"This location is far easier to access and has ample parking, and will allow for easier management as well as faster and more convenient access for all people collecting water," he concluded.
When is Day Zero?
As of 5 March 2018, Day Zero is currently penned for 15 July 2018.
Previous dates, and when they were declared by the City of Cape Town:
9 July 2018 at the end of February
6 June 2018 in mid-February
11 May 2018 at the beginning of February
16 April 2018 in early January
How much water is left in Cape Town's dams?
Memeburn publishes a weekly dam report, looking at the City of Cape Town's figures.
As of 5 March 2018, the total dam storage is 23.6% — just over 10% of surface storage remains until Day Zero.
Read the latest report here.
How can we avoid Day Zero?
Adhering to Level 6B water restrictions, saving as much water as possible, is what citizens can do to ensure Day Zero remains a worst case scenario.
These restrictions, which come into effect from 1 February 2018, will include:
A daily limit of 50 litres or less per person regardless of their location or daily activities
Borehole usage for irrigation purposes will be limited to a one hour period only on Tuesdays and Saturdays before 9am and after 6pm
Borehole and wellpoint water now require metering and respective records
As for the rest of the Western Cape:
the Drakenstein and Cape Agulhas municipalities are under Level 6 water restrictions.
Saldanha, Stellenbosch and the Swartland municipalities are covered by Level 5 restrictions.
The Beaufort West municipality is currently employing Level 4B restrictions.
The Witzenberg Municipality — which encompasses the towns of Ceres, Tulbagh, Wolseley, Op-die-Berg and Prince Alfred Hamlet — is under Level 4 water restrictions.
How can I contact the City of Cape Town's Disaster Operations Centre?
Great question.
This email address can be used to report overzealous water users, and query pressure reduction measures.
This email can be used for those looking for water deliveries. While this particular address can be used by good Samaritans able to "assist with donations of containers of water".
What other resources should I bookmark?
Memeburn's historical coverage of the Cape Town water crisis can be accessed here.
However, we recommend that you pocket these particular articles:

In the default implementation of the NSGA-II solutions with equal quality values are treated as non-dominated and are included multiple times in the Pareto front internally used by the algorithm.
Depending on the objective functions and used encoding solutions with equal quality values could overtake the Pareto fronts and the optimization is hampered. E.g., this happens when performing multi-objective symbolic regression due to solutions containing only one constant or variable.
Therefore, an option should be added to the algorithm that allows to specify how solutions of equal qualities should be treated (either dominated or non-dominated). However, the default behavior must be consistent with the default implementation of the NSGA-II.
NSGA-II Test.hl (51.9 KB) - added by mkommend 4 years ago.
r12033: Branched whole trunk for NSGA-II changes.
r12034: Added option for treatment of solutions with equal quality values in NSGA-II.
Attached file to demonstrate and test the behavior changes in NSGA-II.
I tested the changes, please rename the parameter to DominateOnEqualQualities so that it fits in the parameters view.
r12044: Renamed parameter and parameter name to DominateOnEqualQualities.
I reviewed the changes and have no further comment. Thanks for implementing this!
r12123: Merged all changes from the NSGA2 branch to the trunk.
r12124: Deleted integrated branch for NSGA2 changes.
r12144: Removed trailing white space in DominateOnEqualQualities parameter name.

Bad first round sets 'Cats in sixth
Filed under Archives
Published 2008-02-29T00:00:00Z"/>
Elizabeth Varin
Feb. 27, 2008 The men's golf team finished a disappointing sixth out of 14 teams at the Poor Boy Invitational in Bakersfield Tuesday after loosing one of its best players.
Art Golden III was "a really big part of our production in the fall," but an injury about four weeks ago left him unable to play, head coach T.L. Brown said.
"It's kind of a bummer, but I'm more worried about his health," Brown said.
Brown is hopeful Golden will be able to come back in time for the Cal State Stanislaus tournament April 14, he said. However, the injury may be more serious.
"Art's chomping at the bit wanting to play golf," Brown said. "He was the heart and soul of the team."
The 'Cats started with a bad first round, but a good last round pushed the team ahead of Cal State Monterey Bay to finish in sixth place.
Daniel Clayton was the lowest-placing 'Cat tying for 51st place out of 79 players. This was Clayton's second match of the season.
Kevin Horan went with the 'Cats to compete individually and tied for the 31st position with six over par.
Kyle Hansen only has one semester left to play and it "hungry to play strong," Brown said. Hansen finished tied for 46th with six over par.
Ryan Trask also tied for 46th. Trask was one of the top two players going into the tournament, Brown said.
The other top player is Lucas Delgado. He demonstrated that by being the only Wildcat who finished under par and placed 11th.
Delgado and Brett Viboch are the only two players who are definitely on the plane to the next tournament in San Diego, Brown said.
Viboch, an explosive player, was only one over par and placed 21st, Brown said.
However, Viboch wasn't satisfied with his results, he said.
He was excited to play his first tournament since a year and ½ ago, but his excitement was more of a hindrance, he said.
Viboch expected the 'Cats to do a lot better, but they were "a little rusty" because their last tournament was at the end of October.
"We got the cobwebs off," he said.
Both Brown and Viboch said that a lot of the problems came from putting.
"Everyone on the team seemed to struggle on the green," Viboch said. "The green's a lot faster and undulated than anything we've played on recently."
After the team got used to the green, the scores started to improve, but weren't enough to completely cancel out the first round.
"We kind of had a bad first round," Brown said. "We're a better team than that."
As for the rest of the tournament, Cal State Stanislaus beat out one of the nation's best golf teams, UCLA, by a stroke. However, Brown is not intimidated by this feat, as he credits that to one of the Warriors' players.
"We're not a team of superstars," Brown said. "We're a team of depth."

Q: Hot to search for the existence of 2 xml files in one if statement? As the title suggests i am trying to write an if else statement that searches for the existance of 2 xml files ( and if they do exist the user will have the option of which one to load) but currently all i can do is an else if statement that assumes there is only one of the two files,
private void yourCharacterInformationButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        // This will search for and load the saved name class from the relevant Xml file.

below is my code Current code
i couldnt find an answer allready on here after trawling through for a while, if someone could provide an answer that would be brilliant, again all i want to do is to search for the existence of 2 files in the same if statement such as
if(file.exists("ClassData.xml", "UserClassData.xml")
{
       messagebox.show("Which version do you want to load?").

A: You can write compound if statements by using the && operator.
if (File.Exists("NameData.xml") && File.Exists("ClassData.xml"))
{
    // Omitted for brevity...
}

Both sides would need to be true in order to execute. The System.IO.File class method for Exists only accepts a single string. You could write a method that takes any number of file paths and call into this method like so (a little Linq):
private bool AllFilesExist(params string[] paths)
{
    return paths != null && paths.All(File.Exists);
}

Then you could invoke this method from within your call like so:
private void yourCharacterInformationButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (AllFilesExist("NameData.xml", "ClassData.xml"))
    {
        // Omitted for brevity...
    }
}

What Is The Polish Falcons Of America?
Our Fraternal Structure – We are a nonprofit fraternal benefit society owned by our insured members. Our members belong to local Nests (lodges) within our eight Districts and have a voice in our operations and direction. Members can participate at the nest, district and national level in a host of exciting social, civic, athletic, and benevolent activities.
Falcon Pride – We take a leadership role in promoting cultural awareness within our membership and our communities. As our ethnic traditions are passed on from generation to generation, we proudly preserve our rich heritage while documenting and publishing the many achievements and activities of the Polish-American community and Poland.
The Falcon organization is affiliated with and/or supports the Polish American Congress, Polish Museum of America, Polish American Immigration and Relief Committee Inc., the Polish Army Veterans Association, State and National Fraternal Congresses, Fraternal Societies of Greater Pittsburgh, Orchard Lake Schools, Polish American media and the Kosciuszko Foundation.
The Falcon record speaks for itself: its financial condition is solid, and its many programs and activities aim to improve the physical, mental and social condition of its members, young and old alike.
The Polish Falcons of America, a fraternal benefit society and physical fitness organization, is a direct outgrowth of a similar organization which developed in Poland in 1867 incorporating physical education according to the Latin maxim "mens sana in corpore sano," or a sound mind in a sound body. The same saying in Polish is "Wzdrowym ciele zdrowy duch."
The Polish Falcons of America is a direct outgrowth of a similar organization which developed in Poland in 1867.
A Falcon is a daring, fearless bird, famous in song and in story. It was adopted as the official emblem for the organization because of its independence, strength and fearless defense of its domain.
The first Nest, or lodge, in the United States was organized by Felix L. Pietrowicz on June 12,1887 in Chicago, Ill. Druh Pietrowicz became the Nest's first Secretary. Druh Frank Stefanski was chosen as the first President.
By 1894, there were 12 Nests in existence in the U.S. On January 7 of that year, representatives from four of these Nests, all from Chicago, met and decided to incorporate and form a national organization. A charter was granted the group on May 1, 1894 under the name "Alliance of Polish Turners of the United States of America," under the laws of the State of Illinois.
Thus came into existence the only Polish organization in America dedicated to physical culture and athletics, believing in the principle that within a healthy body there lies a healthy mind.
By action of the National Convention held in July 1901 the organization's National Headquarters moved to South Bend, Ind.
National Headquarters returned to Chicago in 1905 following the Seventh Convention when the delegates agreed to join the Polish National Alliance as an autonomous department of the PNA. The decision to merge with the PNA eventually led to a split at the Ninth Convention in 1909 in Cleveland, Ohio. A dissident group of delegates created the "Free Falcons" with Emil Elektorowicz as President. At a Convention held in December 1912, in Pittsburgh, Pa., the reunification of the two groups was realized through the efforts of Dr. Theophil A. Starzynski. The new National Headquarters was located in Pittsburgh.
"The object of the Polish Falcons Alliance of America is to regenerate the Polish race in body and spirit and create of the immigrant a National asset, for the purpose of exerting every possible influence towards attaining political independence of the fatherland."
This organization continued until September 24, 1924, when a new corporation was formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with its domicile in the city of Pittsburgh, where National Headquarters was maintained from 1912 to 1984. In the summer of 1984, National Headquarters was moved to Green Tree, Pa., a suburb of Pittsburgh.
"To maintain private parks, clubhouses and the facilities for skating, boating, trotting and other innocent and athletic sports, including clubs for such purposes in order to improve the physical, mental and social condition of its members."
"The purposes for which the society is formed are: to create, establish, accumulate and maintain a fund, from monthly dues and assessments collected from its members, which fund is to be applied and used for the payment of sick, accident, and death benefits; and to promote, develop and maintain social and educational activities and physical culture; organize, create and establish in Pennsylvania and other States of the United States of America, subordinate lodges or branches."
The Polish Falcons of America serves a real purpose today, and its history is replete with outstanding achievements, notable are its activities in World War I.
Founded on the same principles as the organization in Poland, the Polish Falcons of America during its many years of untiring efforts was able to constantly harmonize the obligations of its members towards their adopted country, the United States of America, and towards Poland, the land of their forefathers.
The great patriot of two countries, Thaddeus Kosciuszko, whom the Falcons have chosen for their patron, serves as an inimitable model and ideal. Like Kosciuszko, who fought for the independence of America and Poland with equal zeal, courage and loyalty, Polish Falcons fought in World War I for the liberation of Poland in the Polish Army of France as well as with the United States Armed Forces.
In 1912, Dr. Theophil A. Starzynski was unanimously elected President of the Falcons after a merger of two dissident Falcon groups. From that time on, he was active both here and abroad, preparing the Falcons for any emergencies that might arise, particularly those affecting the European situation, which at that time was on the verge of a serious explosion. During the years 1913 to 1917 he organized Officers Training Schools in Cambridge Springs, Pa., Toronto and Camp Borden, Canada, where hundreds of Falcon members were trained as officers. These later served in the Polish Army in France and in Poland. When the United States entered the war in 1917 many became officers in the United States Army.
The Falcons had 12,000 well trained and disciplined members ready for army duty at the time. Of these, 7,000 answered President Woodrow Wilson's first call for volunteers when war was declared against Germany. About 50,000 other Poles followed in their footsteps by volunteering before the draft.
The rest, numbering 5,000, patiently awaited the opportunity to volunteer in the long heralded Polish Volunteer Army first proposed by the universally beloved Polish pianist, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, at a Special Convention of the Polish Falcons called by Starzynski on April 3, 1917 in Pittsburgh.
Although circumstances prohibited formation of this Army, another arose in its stead under a special decree of the President of France. This Army, the Polish Army in France, was formally organized on French soil. Through the untiring efforts of Paderewski and Dr. Starzynski, the American government later authorized the recruiting of volunteers in America for this Army.
Again, the Polish Falcons were the first to answer the call to arms as 5,000 members joined, followed by 27,000 other Poles, a majority of whom were Falcon trained.
These men were trained in Canada, fought in France, later in Poland and greatly contributed to the liberation of Poland.
When the United States entered World War II, Falcon members and most of our Nest physical instructors, all physically fit and well drilled, answered our country's call for military help. Many of these received prompt promotions and many covered themselves with glory on the field of battle.
Today, the Falcons, besides maintaining a Mortuary fund, exerts much effort for the physical, mental and cultural welfare of all its members. It has never lost sight of the fact that one of its original purposes was physical culture and athletics.

Moons at Work
The ring-region Saturnian moons Prometheus and Pan are both caught "herding" their respective rings in this image. Through their gravitational disturbances of nearby ring particles, one moon maintains a gap in the outer A ring and the other helps keep a ring narrowly confined.
Prometheus (53 miles, or 86 kilometers across), together with Pandora (not seen in this image), maintains the narrow F ring seen at the bottom left in this image. Pan (17 miles, or 28 kilometers across) holds open the Encke gap in which it finds itself embedded in the center. The bright dot near the inner edge of the Encke gap is a background star.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 29 degrees below the ringplane. The image was taken in visible violet light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 18, 2012.
The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.4 million miles (2.3 million kilometers) from Pan and at a Sun-Pan-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 98 degrees. Image scale is 9 miles (14 kilometers) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

Classic Album Cover Art- Guns N' Roses The Spagetti Incident
Anyone hungry for some pasta? The Spaghetti Incident? is the fifth album by hard rock band Guns N' Roses. The album was very unique for the band and consists entirely of cover versions, mostly of punk and glam rock songs of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The title is in reference to a food-fight between Axl Rose and Steven Adler, obviously involving spaghetti. Much was made of this food fight during Adler's resolution lawsuit with the band; and Adler's attorney referred to it as the Spaghetti Incident. It is suggested that the attorney's choice of name for the incident was a reference to the David Bowie movie, The Linguini Incident.
Many of the tracks were recorded with original Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin during the Use Your Illusion I and II sessions. Those tracks were previously intended to be included in a combined Use Your Illusion album, consisting of three (or possibly even four) discs, instead of the two separate discs they ended up being.
In 1992, the band prepared to release the leftover cover tracks as an EP, with then-Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke replacing Stradlin's guitar tracks. They later decided on making the album a full release and recorded several more tracks for it.
Then-Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan sings on many of the album's tracks and Hanoi Rocks frontman (and Axl Rose's idol) Michael Monroe appears on "Ain't It Fun" as a guest vocalist.
The album was released shortly after the conclusion of the Use Your Illusion World Tour which had lasted since early 1991. The vinyl copy of the album was released in clear plastic orange, and the CD was released with colour designs and markings, which would later be changed (in the 1997 reissue) to simply a plain silver coloured CD.
Despite protests from Rose's bandmates, an unadvertised cover of Charles Manson's song "Look at Your Game, Girl" was included on the album at his request. The CD release gave no track number to the song - it could only be found by listening through the dead air left after the last documented track on the album. In early 2000, Rose said that he would remove "Look at Your Game, Girl" from re-issues of the album, citing that critics and popular media misinterpreted his interest in Manson and that a misunderstanding public no longer deserved to hear it. However, the song is still present on the album, and in recent re-issues, "Look at Your Game, Girl" has been added as a separate, 13th track.
In the first week of sales "The Spaghetti Incident?" sold roughly 190,000 copies and debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200, selling way less than their other releases, the album has failed to match the success of any other Guns N' Roses album, it did not increase the popularity with in the band, most reviews of the album were rated average saying the covers are just of mostly punk songs that really aren't that good.
To date, it is the last full-length studio album released by Guns N' Roses.
Rock/Pop Tidbits
Rod Stewart was always known as a ladies man. But his girlfriend Britt Ekland had a very stern warning for the loose lover: "If you screw another woman while you're with me, I'll chop your balls off." We can only presume that the overly friendly Rod was on his best behavior while with Ekland.
It was rough going in the beginning for Axl Rose. In fact, in 1985, Axl and his band mates rented a small apartment in Los Angles. To cook dinner, the resourceful rockers had to set fire to a set of drum sticks and proceeded to roast hamburgers over the improvised flames.
Before joining the Monkees, Davy Jones was both a stage actor and a racehorse jockey.
Joey Dee, who had a US number one hit in January, 1962 with "Peppermint Twist" was surrounded by future recording stars at various stages of his life. He attended Passaic Highschool in New Jersey at the same time as the Shirelles. A female trio that was part of his act at the Peppermint Lounge went on to become The Ronettes. When he opened his own club, his backup band included Felix Cavaliere, Gene Cornish, and Eddie Brigati, who would form the Young Rascals. After Joey sold the club and went on the road, his guitar player was Jimi Hendrix.
After his short fifteen minutes of fame, former Partridge family actor Danny Bonaduce landed a gig as a DJ. So he had the call letters and the name of the station tattooed on his rear end. His thinking? He was under the impression that it would help him keep his job- it didn't work.
In 1961 Ricky Nelson's father, Ozzie Nelson, filmed a video for the hit "Travelin Man," featuring pictures of places mentioned in the song. This film is often called the world's first rock video. This is disputed however by Jay Perry Richardson, the son of J.P. Richardson, better known as The Big Bopper, claiming that his father made a video in 1958 for "Chantilly Lace" and actually coined the term 'music video' in 1959.
Wango tango! When a female reporter inquired why ted Nugent didn't wear tuxedos on his album covers, his reply was, "Why did you decide not to douche yourself with molten lava?"
When Vernon Presley re-married on July 3rd, 1960, Elvis did not attend the ceremony.
Elton John wrote his US number one hit, "Philadelphia Freedom" after watching Billie Jean King play a tennis match with her World Tennis League team, the Philadelphia Freedoms.
It was in 1972 when John Denver dropped some acid and drove around on a motorcycle. Then he penned the hit song, "Rocky Mountain High." Denver explained: "What a far out experience that was."
Denver also thought that saying "far out" was really, well for the lack of a better term, far out. "The first time I appeared as guest host of the Tonight Show, I must have said 'far out' fifty times. I would say 'far out' without even thinking, it was like a nervous tic…" Far out.
After John Denver saw a Rolling Stones concert in Long Beach, California, the soft rock troubadour confessed, "I didn't get Mick Jagger or his onstage gyrations. It just didn't compute to me." Maybe he needed more of that 'Rocky Mountain' high to appreciate it.
In 1951, when Brenda Lee was only 6 years old, she auditioned for a local Atlanta television show called TV Ranch. An hour and a half after singing "Hey, Good Lookin'" for the producer, she appeared on the program.
Apparently Madonna's pet Chihuahua "Chiquita" was suffering a bout of doggy depression over the attention that was given to Madonna's new baby, Lourdes. So the 'material girl' sent the sad pooch to a canine shrink. I guess the $7,500 choker from Tiffany's just wasn't enough to cheer up the little yapper.
Before Michael Jackson made love to his wife Debbie Rowe, the gloved one would dress up as Peter Pan and dance around the room. Another time he wore a horse's head and galloped around on a broom stick. "It made him feel romantic," explained Debbie. Uh, okay…and why doesn't that surprise anyone?
The Queen song, "Radio Gaga" was actually inspired by band member Roger Taylor's son who had heard a song on the radio and called it "Radio Ka-Ka."
When the record producer for the Spice Girls hired a voice and singing coach to train the girls, his first impression: "My God, there's a lot of work to be done here!"
In the early fifties, Neil Sedaka teamed up with some high school friends to form a vocal group. They had a local hit in New York, but then parted ways. The group later went on to record as The Tokens and in 1962, scored a Billboard number one smash with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."
Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain got very close early on in their relationship. "We bonded over pharmaceuticals," detailed Love. "I had Vicodin extra-strength…and he had hycomine cough syrup."
In a Vanity Fair interview in 1992, Love said "If there ever is a time that a person should be on drugs, it's when they're pregnant, because it sucks."
At a Pink Floyd concert in 1980 for the concept album "The Wall," fireworks ignited the stage curtains. Pieces of burning fabric rained down on the audience, who cheered mightily; they thought it was part of the show.

Surreal art works and Illustration : Dzmitryi Kashtalyan is an artist/illustrator from Minsk, Belarus. The artist uses animals as characters for portraying his surreal paintings. He creates his surreal paintings on walls, canvas, paper and in digital grapics. He enjoys hand painting his surreal illustrations, since it creates a special bond between the characters. The artist mostly chooses wild animals dressed up as lawyers, soldiers, judges etc alongwith some other characters. The artist draws inspiration from news, magazines, nature and more. The materials he uses for surreal painting are black-white ink and paints. His utmost favourite is ink drawings. According to Dzmitryi Kashtalyan,"All my works are the reflection of my inner world, my emotions, my positions and principles. I draw only what I sincerely believe, even if it is not something popular or even something that is not common to say. Art has a strong influence on people and how to bring that art depends on the authors and the people promoting it. Before creating a new work, I think carefully about the idea, the message and the artistic means by which I will convey my message. I like to raise issues that are relevant to both modern society and an individual".
