A millstone around the neck? Stereotypes about wives and myths about divorce

This article examines the effect of and connection between stereotypes about wives and myths about financial provision on divorce. It is based on an assessment of press reports on Mills v Mills which have fuelled calls for reform of the law of financial provision on divorce, most notably the Divorce (Financial Provision) Bill 2017–2019. It argues that gendered stereotypes about wives (such as ‘alimony drone’, ‘gold-digger’ and ‘meal ticket for life’) inhibit shifts towards substantive equality for women. These gendered stereotypes have not only framed the debate, creating a non-existent problem for reform proposals to solve, but have also affected the way in which individuals form family law agreements, which is important given the current policy emphasis on private ordering. The article concludes by proposing that reflexive engagement with stereotypes about wives should be an important part of judicial reasoning.

Analysis on the Problems and Measures to the Construction Project Cost Management

To survive and prosper in a more competitive construction market nowadays, a company must strengthen the cost management of construction project. This paper expounds the present situation of the construction project cost management, existent problem in the process of the construction project cost management. Countermeasure analysis of perfecting the construction project cost management is discussed in respect to the management concept and method, information technology application, the people-oriented and sustainable concept of development.

Research Progress and Existent Problem of Nano Cement

Nanotechnology provides a new method on modified cement. It introduces the research and application of nanocement situation and existing problems in the paper. The nanocement has better mechanical properties and durability than the current ordinary cement, and it is environmentally friendly. It can improve the microstructure of cement in order to improve their physical and mechanical properties and durability, and it can reduce energy consumption. The current focus is to study the microstructure and mechanical properties of nanoconcrete, as well as how to prepare inexpensive nanomaterials. Future, the nanocement will have a wider application field.

The Mechanism Construction Evaluated after Constructing Item Studies

Aim at a current our country the construction invested in the middle of the item an existent problem to carry on analysis, to domestic and international construction item behind evaluated a theoretical development to make to elaborate, and analyze our country behind evaluate current performance present condition of mechanism and the blemish of existence, put forward some improvement suggestions.After pointing out at the same time evaluate is the important link that constucts an indispensability in the item period, have count for much meaning to decision level and investment efficiency that raises item, at our country its development should have vaster prospect.

Analysis of the Existent Problem and the Policy Suggestions for Chinese New Energy Industry

After the Financial Crisis, to stave off recession, the United States, the European Union enacted and promulgated a series of policies, those developed countries not only put forward the development of new energy industry as avery important national economic strategy but also make the relevant laws and regulations and policies to ensure a favorable environment for new energy industry. In such a new situation, our country is vigorously promoting the development of new energy sources. But we also meet some problems in the process of develop. This paper discuss the issues regarding the policies and capital bottleneck that appears on the development of new energy industry, calls upon the Government to implement relevant policies of new energy industry as soon as possible and make effort to support the industry development

Study on the Life of High Speed Steel Taps with Cryogenic Treatment

The influences of various processes of cryogenic treatment, optimization of parameters and prolongation the life of the high speed steel taps have been studied in the paper. Taking W9Mo3Cr4V for an example, the influences of temperature raising and decreasing rate, cryogenic treatment temperature and holding time, times for treatment, temper process and sequence of cryogenic treatment are discussed. Two kinds of cryogenic treatment process that one is before temper and the other is after it are put forward. Process flow is designed according to the process suitability and economy, the reported research results and existent problem. The results show that the life is prolonged after cryogenic treatment and the life is longer if the cryogenic treatment is carried out before tempering. To different material, the quantity of prolonging is different. To 30CrMnTi, 1.43 times of life of the tap is prolonged if the cryogenic treatment is arranged before tempering and only 61% is prolonged after tempering. To 1Cr18Ni9Ti, 1.08 times is prolonged before tempering and only 46% is prolonged after tempering. To 5CrMnMo, 1.65 times is prolonged before tempering and only 89% is prolonged after tempering. Research indicates that after cryogenic treatment, the harder the material is, the better the cutting is.
