Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick had HAL 9000. NASA named a treadmill for Stephen Colbert.And over nearly five years, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has had its fleet of 200-ton tunnel-boring machines, plowing beneath the city in service of the agency's megaprojects.
They were named for the granddaughter of the transportation authority's construction chief; named “Molina” because sixth graders liked the name; and, less poignantly, named for the companies that manufactured them. And, when the city says it will fund an extension of a subway line, it is perhaps wise to name two machines after the mayor's daughters.
On Monday, the last machine, Molina, completed its run beneath the Long Island Rail Road's Main Line in Long Island City, Queens, as part of the so-called East Side Access project, which will connect the commuter rails in Queens to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan.The transportation authority said that with Molina's journey complete, all tunnel boring for its major projects had been finished.

Use Marine Wet Exhaust Hose For Superior Engine Performance
The various things that are required for the proper manufacturing of the exhaust hoses include the proper tools of manufacturing, the right amount of skill that is required for the manufacturer to possess, the right kinds of materials as well as the proper timing. The systems of marine exhausts are very important and vital, but they are overlooked very often and not given the right amount of importance as a vital part of the ideal marine engine. Mostly, all the vehicles have this system of wet exhaust.
Therefore, it is very important to understand the crucial and vital role that the Marine Exhaust plays in the engine, but in order to do that, it is necessary to first understand the method of working of such an equipment as well as the important role that they have to play for the vehicle and its engine to run smoothly. An exhaust system that is portable consists of a motorized blower, whose primary function is to consume the exhaust fumes that are let out by the exhaust system of the vehicle.
The processes of manufacturing the different types of hoses are not much complicated. They are mostly dependent on the type of methods that the manufacturers use for the manufacture of the Marine Wet Exhaust Hose.

OKC Parents Accused Of Beating Kids With Vacuum Hose, Rope

The children also reported being punched and kicked.Officers noted in a police report that the children were covered in abrasions and welts.Both Bonilla and Lopez were charged with one count each of child abuse.
Stang, it is called a beating if it leads to long term marks. I am not talking about a red spot or something. If there is a full force bruise, lacerations or such, it is abuse. If it fades in 15 or 20 minutes, not so much. Covered in abrasions and welts??? that's not discipline, that's excessive. When you have to dance a fine line between discipline and child abuse, its probably too severe to start with and obviously your technique is not working. Get a grip mom and dad...

Main parts of the hydraulic hose
There is an outer layer that protects the hose from weather and abrasive chemicals and oil. These hoses are basically designed for mechanical applications and some of them even need to have specific sizes to work in machines. A hydraulic hose is graded by pressure, temperature and fluid compatibility and is used when pipes or tubes cannot be used.
They usually provide flexibility for machine operation and maintenance and hence built up with rubber or steel layers. The interior of the hydraulic hose fitting is made of rubber and is surrounded with multiple layers of woven wire and rubber. The exterior of the hose id designed for abrasion resistance as hose failures can be deadly and violating.
Before making a purchase for hydraulic hose fittings, it is imperative to ascertain the proficiency of the chosen provider as many providers tend to sell hose fittings that cannot solve the real purpose they are purchased for. You can also make a search for online providers that sell quality and efficient hose fittings in a quite affordable price. Moreover, it also helps you save money and energy as you can search from a huge variety of hose fittings without burning a hole in your pocket.
