R-102 RESTAURANT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, RECHARGE, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL One Stanton Street / Marinette, WI 54143-2542, USA / +1-715-735-7411 / www.ansul.com Copyright © 2014 Tyco Fire Products LP. / All rights reserved. / Part No. 418087-12 R-102 Restaurant Fire Suppression Manual FOREWORD UL EX3470 ULC EX3470 2014-SEP-01 REV. 11 This manual is intended for use with ANSUL® R-102 Restaurant Fire Suppression Systems. Those who install, operate, recharge, or maintain these fire suppression systems should read this entire manual. Specific sections will be of particular interest depending upon one’s responsibilities. Design, installation, recharge, and maintenance of the system must conform to the limitations detailed in this manual and performed by an individual who attended an ANSUL training program and became trained to install, recharge, design, and maintain the ANSUL system. Fire suppression systems are mechanical devices. They need periodic care. Maintenance is a vital step in the performance of your fire suppression system. As such it must be performed in accordance with NFPA 96 (Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease-Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment) and NFPA 17A (Standard on Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems) by an authorized ANSUL distributor. To provide maximum assurance that the fire suppression system will operate effectively and safely, maintenance must be conducted at six-month intervals, or earlier if the situation dictates. Twelve-year maintenance must include agent tank hydrostatic testing. ANSUL PART NO. 418087-12 ANSUL, R-102, and the product names listed in this material are marks and/or registered marks. Unauthorized use is strictly prohibited.

  • A Short History of the Lincoln Penny

    A Short History of the Lincoln Penny

    Read the passage. Then answer the question below. A Short History of the Lincoln Penny Few objects are more common than the Lincoln penny. On any given day, you probably have a few in your pocket or purse. The typical household in the United States has hundreds of pennies squirreled away in piggy banks, jars, and drawers. Everyone is familiar with the penny, but few people ever look at it closely or know much about its history. When the Lincoln penny made its appearance in 1909, it was the first American coin to show the portrait of a historical person. A few coins, such as the Indian Head penny and the Buffalo nickel, had portrayed anonymous Native Americans. Americans, however, had always opposed using coins to honor historical figures. The strong desire to celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s 100th birthday overcame this sentiment. Victor D. Brenner, a Chicago sculptor, contributed the design for the Lincoln penny. His simple, somewhat stark portrait of Lincoln was topped with the words, “In God We Trust.” This was the first time these words appeared on a penny. The word “Liberty,” as mandated by a law passed by Congress, appears to the left of Lincoln, and the date is on his right. Brenner’s initials—VDB—appeared under the date on the first coins. After the coin was released, however, Americans complained that the initials were too large and detracted from the overall design of the penny. So the U.S. Mint removed the initials. As a result, pennies made in 1909 are highly prized by rare coin collectors.

    KNIFE SUPERSTITIONS by LRV 2007 I Was Raised by My Grandparents and Was Always Interested in Their Superstitions

    KNIFE SUPERSTITIONS By LRV 2007 I was raised by my grandparents and was always interested in their superstitions. Many of these were based on safety and I found were really an easier way to remember not to do something. Walk under a ladder, open an umbrella in the house, walk behind a horse etc all seemed to make some sense. One of these superstitions was always interesting to me. My grandfather being from the “Old Country” had many superstitions but never handing a knife directly to someone always seemed a little strange to me. He would always put a knife down on the table or desk and allow me or others to take it from there. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered that other than for safety reasons there were other superstitions out there relating to knives. This is a collection of what I’ve been able to find. Some are very similar to one another but different enough that I thought they were interesting. The most common by far was exchanging a gift knife for a penny. Giving a knife as a gift • A knife as a gift from a lover means that the love will soon end. • If a friend gives you a knife, you should give him a coin, or your friendship will soon be broken. • Never give a knife as a housewarming present, or your new neighbor will become an enemy. • To make a present of a knife or any other sharp instrument unless you receive something in exchange. • Giving a knife as a gift you should tape a penny to it so as to not severe the relationship.

    Insights from Wildfire Science: a Resource for Fire Policy Discussions

The four biggest fire seasons since 1960 have all occurred in the last 10 years, leading to fears of a ‘new normal’ for wildfire. Fire fighters and forest managers are overwhelmed, and it is clear that the policy and management approaches of the past will not suffice under this new era of western wildfires. In recent decades, state and federal policymakers, tribes, and others are confronting longer fire seasons (Jolly et al. 2015), more large fires (Dennison et al. 2014), a tripling of homes burned, and a doubling of firefighter deaths (Rasker 2015). Federal agencies now spend $2 to $3 billion annually fighting fires (and in the case of the US Forest Service, over 50% of their budget), and the total cost to society may be up to 30 times more than the direct cost of firefighting. If we want to contain these costs and reduce risks to communities, economies, and natural systems, we can draw on the best available science when designing fire management strategies, as called for in the recent federal report on Wildland Fire Science and Technology.

    Wildland Fire in Ecosystems: Effects of Fire on Fauna

    United States Department of Agriculture Wildland Fire in Forest Service Rocky Mountain Ecosystems Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-42- volume 1 Effects of Fire on Fauna January 2000 Abstract _____________________________________ Smith, Jane Kapler, ed. 2000. Wildland fire in ecosystems: effects of fire on fauna. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-42-vol. 1. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 83 p. Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fires often cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to increases in populations of some animals. These increases are moderated by the animals’ ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. The extent of fire effects on animal communities generally depends on the extent of change in habitat structure and species composition caused by fire. Stand-replacement fires usually cause greater changes in the faunal communities of forests than in those of grasslands. Within forests, stand- replacement fires usually alter the animal community more dramatically than understory fires. Animal species are adapted to survive the pattern of fire frequency, season, size, severity, and uniformity that characterized their habitat in presettlement times. When fire frequency increases or decreases substantially or fire severity changes from presettlement patterns, habitat for many animal species declines. Keywords: fire effects, fire management, fire regime, habitat, succession, wildlife The volumes in “The Rainbow Series” will be published during the year 2000.
