In sociology and gender studies, "doing gender" is the idea that gender, rather than being an innate quality of individuals, is a psychologically ingrained social construct that actively surfaces in everyday human interaction. This term was used by Candace West and Don Zimmerman in their article "Doing Gender", published in 1987 in Gender and Society. According to this paper, an individual's performance of gender is intended to construct gendered behavior as naturally occurring. This façade furthers a system through which individuals are judged in terms of their failure or success to meet gendered societal expectations, called the accountability structure. The concept of doing gender was later expanded by authors such as West and Fenstermaker in the book Doing Gender, Doing Difference.
Hi Everyone,
My CH system has a an underfloor heating loop in the kitchen. What I want to do is run the UFH 24 hours with its own control system. The Glow worm 38cxi boiler only has one circulation pump so can I fit a motor valve into the radiator circuit and control it with a wireless...
I have a Worcester 240 boiler. When on CH, both relays on both pcb`s start clicking constantly, and the boiler fires up, and shuts down after 5 seconds or so. This cycle is repeated ad infinitum, until eventually, the overheat stat trips the boiler. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Started an apprenticeship in September but I can't seem to get the basics right, it's frustrating myself and my mentor, is there any tips or advice someone can give to be consistent in my work and how to improve? Thanks in advance!

Hello
I am a total novice, so apologies in advance. My Dad is here who is doing the work so I'm not doing this alone.
I have 6 radiators and a stand alone boiler, it's about 15 yrs old.
The radiator in my front room hasn't had any heat for a couple of weeks, so we decided to drain it. By...
My Bathroom installer wants to box in and tile around a toilet cistern and a motorised valve which is part of the central heating.
Should I be concerned or are these items non serviceable?
Any comments appreciated.
just thought check here before doing it.. Can I solder hard regular copper onto soft copper tap tails with endfeed fittings without any problems? hopin for speedy replies as they're fluxed up and ready to go!
So it turns out we've been doing this plumbing lark all wrong,
Spending money on flux solder blow lamps and gas all's you need is a bit of silicone and some tape!

I found under the floor a tapped and...
