  • Tank Strap Or Lowered Fuel Tank
    Contact: Eric Mayne Statement: Bracket in "Salt-belt" Vehicles March 15, 2018, Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 270,254 older-model trucks in the U.S. to reinforce a fuel-tank bracket. A Company investigation has discovered a bracket in certain trucks may corrode and cause a vehicle’s fuel tank to sag, though FCA US testing indicates the remaining structural components would help prevent separation. The Company is unaware of any related incidents of injury, accident, fire, fuel leak or separation of the tank, which is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). However, FCA US is launching this campaign out of an abundance of caution and urges affected customers to heed the instructions in their recall notices. The recall is limited to vehicles operated in regions where road crews use salt to mitigate icy road conditions. Affected are certain 2009-2012 Ram 1500 pickups that are, or have been, registered in the District of Columbia and the following 20 states, known colloquially as “the salt-belt”: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin and West Virginia. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which will be provided free of charge. If the condition occurs in the interim, customers may hear a noise or observe a hanging fuel-tank strap or lowered fuel tank. In such cases, customers are advised to contact their dealers. Those with additional concerns may also contact their dealers or call the FCA US Recall Information Center at (800)-853-1403.

  • Intra-Lake Arcellinida (Testate Lobose Amoebae) Response to Winter De-Icing Contamination in an Eastern Canada Road-Side “Salt Belt” Lake
    Microbial Ecology (2020) 80:366–383 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00248-020-01513-w ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY Intra-Lake Arcellinida (Testate Lobose Amoebae) Response to Winter De-icing Contamination in an Eastern Canada Road-Side “Salt Belt” Lake Charlotte F. Cockburn1,2 & Braden R. B. Gregory2 & Nawaf A. Nasser 2 & R. Timothy Patterson2 Received: 15 March 2019 /Accepted: 7 April 2020 /Published online: 8 May 2020 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Salt contamination of lakes, due to the application of winter de-icing salts on roads, presents a significant environmental challenge in the “salt belt” region of eastern North America. The research reported here presents the first deployment of a previously published proxy tool based on Arcellinida (testate lobose amoebae) for monitoring road salt contamination. The research was conducted at Silver Lake in Eastern Ontario, a 4-km-long lake with the heavily traveled Trans-Canada Highway (HWY 7) transiting the entire southern shore. The lake showed elevated conductivity (297–310 μS/cm) and sub-brackish conditions (0.14–0.15 ppt). Sodium levels were also elevated near the roadside (median Na = 1020 ppm). Cluster analysis and nonmetric multidimensional scaling results revealed four distinct Arcellinida assemblages: “Stressed Cool Water Assemblage (SCWA),”“Deep Cold Water Assemblage (DCWA),” both from below the 8-m thermocline, and the shallower water “Shallow Water Assemblage 1 (SWA-1)” and “Shallow Water Assemblage 2 (SWA-2)”. Redundancy analysis showed a minor response of Arcellinida to road salt contamination in shallower areas of the lake, with confounding variables significantly impacting assem- blage distribution, particularly beneath the thermocline (e.g., water temperature, water depth, sediment runoff from catchment [Ti], sediment geochemistry [Ca, S]).

  • February 2015 List
    FEBRUARY 2015 LIST DUEL REDUX-WHAT WOULD MY FAVORITE MOVIE BE LIKE IN 2015?? If’ you’ve been a Fred’s customer for any length of time, you probably know my favorite movie of all time is Duel, the 1971 made for tv thriller about an extended car/truck chase through Northern California that was Speilberg’s directorial debut and a terrific one by any measure. I’ve seen this movie dozens of times and never get tired of it, even after many recent viewings on ELREY channel. I practically have every line and scene memorized and love every minute of this production. Recently, I started to wonder what this movie would be like if Speilberg had done it in 2015. I’ve also spent plenty of time imagining what I would have done with the film, given command of the production. The answer is, not much at all would change, except for the actors and actresses. Chronologically, the film begins with a car starting a trip from a first ring suburb in California, through downtown streets, along a multitude of major highways at rush hour, and gradually on rural roads. During this sequence, we hear all sorts of commercials, traffic, weather and sports reports and a bit of jazz music before Dennis Weaver is finally shown as the driver. In 2015, with talk radio greatly diminished from more than 40 years ago, we would have to have a mix of more music and less talk. The driver would use steering wheel controls for changing stations instead of using radio controls.

    English Words ‘The air is always thick with our verbal emissions. There are so many things we want to tell the world. Some of them are important, some of them are not. But we talk anyway. A life without words would be a horrendous privation.’ (from the Introduction) Words and language, keys to human identity, are fascinating subjects. The aim of this book is to arouse curiosity about English words and about the nature of language in general, especially among students who are not intending to specialise in linguistics. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the structure of words, the meaning of words, how their spelling relates to pronunciation, how new words are manufactured or imported from other languages, and how the meaning of words changes with the passage of time. It also investigates how the mind deals with words by highlighting the amazing intellectual feat performed routinely when the right word is retrieved from the mental dictionary during conversation. Words of all sorts are examined—from great poetry, nonsense verse and journalism to advertising. It is demonstrated that in their very different ways they are all worthy of serious study. This textbook is an accessible descriptive introduction, suitable for students of English language and communication, showing how the nature of words can be illuminated by insights from a broad range of areas of linguistics and related subjects. Francis Katamba is Lecturer in Linguistics at Lancaster University. His publications include Morphology (1993) and Introduction to Phonology (1989). English Words Francis Katamba London and New York First published 1994 by Routledge 11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2005.
