Tunnel Cam: City 3-1 Watford | 1" Check Valve

(4) A check valve, between the sprinkler floor isolation valve and the water flow alarm switch, prevents water from draining back into the riser.

Instead, after two days and many miles on some of my favorite SoCal roads, I’m left with a lingering resentment that we could’ve been riding this machine for months. We could’ve logged thousands of miles, had a shootout with its direct competitors, and just maybe, had some shuffling of the 2018 MOBOs. The KTM 790 Duke is so good that it doesn’t make me grateful to finally ride it. It frustrates me that we had to wait so long. 

The conference was shutout from a medal at the PIAA Wrestling Championships in 2018 for the first time in decades. And those grapplers vowed to not let that happen under their watch again.

Engine manufacturers have spent years working around the limitations of the camshaft. The results are myriad proprietary solutions. Honda has VTEC, short for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control. Toyota has VVT-i. BMW has VANOS, Ford has VCT. All these systems provide ways to adjust the valve action to some degree. VANOS works by allowing the camshaft to slightly rotate a few degrees relative to its normal timing, similar to moving a tooth or two on the timing chain. While these systems do work, they tend to be mechanically complex, and expensive to repair.

No, the only similarity between it and a wankel are that it is a rotary engine. The Gotek Dynakinetic engine has rotating end caps which create the ‘cylinder’ walls, greatly reducing seal wear. A Wankel rotor side seal swept the entire sidewall but here the flap side seals need only sweep the distance of travel, which is quite small at the hinged end and even slightly less than a standard piston engine at the other end.

Hazleton Area scoring leader and senior Marissa Trivelpiece carries an average of over 13 points, is the team’s leading rebounder and shot blocker and was a starter as a freshman before being injured in 2015-16. Fellow seniors Faith Grula and Virginia Yurchak were both on the team as freshmen and all three started in last year’s state loss to Neshaminy. They’d like to go out with at least one win against the Redskins, who are ranked as the state’s No. 10 team.

Three WVC schools saw their school mark for career wins set this year. Erickson leaves the Hawkeyes program as the school’s all-time wins leader with 124. Dallas’ Steven Newell set the Mountaineers mark and ends his illustrious career with 153 victories.

The new Mazda CX-9 occupies a class of vehicles that often come up a bit short on style, even though that’s ostensibly the reason why many buyers are choosing a three-row crossover over a much more spacious and practical minivan. The need for passenger and cargo space tend to drive body-side sheetmetal that’s more upright and a roofline that plunges less dramatically, if much at all. And these competing priorities tend to water down the elegance of these vehicles, where functionality is so mission critical.

Members of the preceding shift of my battalion learned a valuable lesson associated with sprinklers that could have cost them their lives. You must remember that since sprinklers seldom completely extinguish a fire, the fire must be burning incompletely, producing lethal concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO). Several years ago, when I reported to duty before shift change, I learned that firefighters, including members of my company, were in the hospital being treated for CO poisoning. Some of the members’ conditions were so serious that the doctors were contemplating treating them in a hyperbaric chamber, used primarily for SCUBA diving decompression sickness.

ATLANTA – Led by a second-half equalizer from Roland Lamah, FC Cincinnati recorded their first point in their inaugural MLS season by playing Atlanta United to a 1-1 draw at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday night.

Apparatus innovations can be found in all areas of a vehicle, and sometimes it is the small, seemingly minor enhancements that make all the difference between a unit that is universally praised by all users versus an apparatus that has no supporters. The late Chief Alan Brunacini was credited with the statement, “Any firefighter can outperform all of the safety aspects we have in a nanosecond.” Taking this quotation a step further, a lot of fire truck designs look great on the paper from a safety perspective, but when the apparatus is assigned out to a station, any number of persistent issues arise, causing the crew to lose confidence in the vehicle.
