1850 1900 1950 2000Present Civil War 18611865 Like other ethnic groups of Americans Hispanics were divided in their loyalties fighting heroically for both the Union and Confederate armies Most Hispanics were integrated into the regular Army or volunteer units although some served in predominantly Hispanic units with their own officers Hispanics were especially instrumental in protecting the Southwest against Confederate advances most notably in California Arizona and New Mexico A very unusual historical figure was a woman named Loreta Janeta Velazquez who was born in Cuba During the Civil War she masqueraded as a Confederate soldier using the name of Lt Harry T Buford enlisting in 1860 without her soldierhusbands knowledge According to her controversial biography and the confirmation of others she fought fearlessly at the Battles of Bull Run Balls Bluff and Fort Donelson but was detected in New Orleans and discharged Loreta Velasquez reenlisted and fought at the Battle of Shiloh until rediscovered She spied in both male and female disguises and her bravery in the Civil The illustration depicts Loreta Janeta Velazquez and her alias Lt Harry T Buford of the Confederate States Army Courtesy of the Library of Congress Her biography can be read in the book The Woman In Battle A Narrative of the Exploits Adventures and Travels of Madame Loreta Janeta Velasquez Otherwise Known as Lieutenant Harry T Buford Confederate States Army edited by CJ Worthington 1876 It should be mentioned that some men of her generation refute her case arguing that it was impossible for a women to hide her body and womanly ways The arguments have been countered by men and women who say that the Soldiers of the time could maintain privacy and bathed alone using buckets of water when possible Such accounts make 1 1850 SpanishAmerican War 1898 Col Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders are shown at the top of the hill which they captured during the Battle of San Juan 1898 Photo by William Dinwiddie In 1898 the United States acquired Puerto Rico in the Treaty of Paris that ended the SpanishAmerican War By the following year Congress had authorized raising a unit of volunteer Soldiers in the newly acquired territory Several thousand Hispanic volunteers mostly from the southwestern United States fought with distinction in the US Army during the SpanishAmerican War Capt Maximiliano Luna and others who comprised a portion of the famous 1st US Volunteer Cavalry with Col Theodore Roosevelt better known as the Rough Riders fought in Cuba George Armijo another Rough Rider later became a member of Congress Pictured above Soldiers of the 65th Infantry are shown after an allday schedule of maneuvers at Salinas Puerto Rico August 1941 Photo courtesy of US Army Center of Military History World War I 19141918 In May 1917 two months after legislation granting United States citizenship to individuals born in Puerto Rico was signed into law and one month after the United States entered World War I the authorized unit of volunteer Soldiers were transferred to the Panama Canal Zone US Army policy at the time restricted most segregated units to noncombat roles even though the regiment could have contributed to the fighting effort According to House concurrent resolution 253 the US Army had approximately 200000 active personnel at the beginning of the war An Act of Congress was passed in 1917 to obtain needed manpower and the Hispanic community was eager to serve its country They included both nativeborn Soldiers mostly of Mexican descent and new immigrants from Latin America Mexico and Spain In June 1920 the unit was redesignated as the 65th Infantry Regiment and served as the US militarys last segregated unit composed primarily of Hispanic Soldiers 2 Hispanic Soldiers like Nicholas Lucero and Marcelino Serna served with great distinction Lucero received the French Croix de Guerre during World War I for destroying two German machine gun nests and maintaining constant fire for three hours Serna received the Distinguished Service Cross for the singlehanded capture of 24 enemy soldiers World War II 19391945 In January 1943 13 months after the attack on Pearl Harbor that marked the entry of the United States into World War II the 65th Infantry Regiment again deployed to the Panama Canal Zone before deploying overseas during the spring of 1944 Despite relatively limited combat service in World War II the regiment suffered casualties in the course of defending against enemy attacks with individual Soldiers earning one Distinguished Service Cross two Silver Stars two Bronze Stars and 90 Purple Hearts The regiment received campaign participation credit for RomeArno Rhineland ArdennesAlsace and Central Europe According to House concurrent resolution 253 approximately 400000 to 500000 Hispanic service members served in the US Armed Forces during World War II Gen Douglas MacArthur called the Arizona National Guards 158th Infantry Regiment the Bushmasters One of the greatest fighting combat teams ever deployed for battle The regiment was comprised of many Hispanic Soldiers Pictured above The illustration Cuidado Take Care Bushmasters depicts the 158th Infantry Regiment during the Bicol Campaign Luzon Philippine Islands April 34 1945 Photo courtesy of US Army Center of Military History This proud Arizona National Guard unit the 158th Infantry Bushmasters organized as the Arizona Volunteer Infantry for the Indian campaigns in 1865 had its motto Cuidado Take Care Mustering in the great Southwest desert the unit was mainly MexicanAmerican and North American Indian from 20 tribes Expanded in Panama it was one of World War IIs few organizations to complete the trail from Down Under to Japan 3 Cries of Banzai rang through the jungles the staccato of enemy machine guns mortars and rifles broke through the jungle silence The bayonet charges were suicidal but the 158th Regimental Combat Team the Bushmasters repulsed the enemy and advanced It fought day after day in critical battles to open the Visayan passages for allied shipping in the Pacific The merciless campaign lasted two months in terrain laced with tank traps wires mines and bamboo thickets The Texas National Guards 141st Infantry Regiment fought in France and Italy for one year and suffered thousands of casualties The entire list of mostly Hispanic units that were cited for valor in World War II would be several pages long Countless Hispanic Soldiers served in other integrated units that fought bravely earning countless medals for valor and bringing victory for the United States and its Allies in both the European and Pacific theaters of operation A total of six HispanicAmericans were flying aces in World War II and the Korean War Approximately 200 Puerto Rican women served in the Womens Army Corps and served in the critical role of Code Talkers to avoid enemy intelligence 3 Korean War 19501953 When the Korean War broke out HispanicAmericans again answered the call to duty as they their brothers cousins and friends had done in World War II Many of the Hispanic Soldiers who fought in Korea were members of the allHispanic US Army unit the 65th Infantry Regiment which fought in every major campaign of the war The 65th Infantry Regiment nicknamed The Borinqueneers originated from the Borinquen one of the native Taino indian names for the island of Puerto Rico Many members of the 65th were direct descendants of that tribe One of the first opportunities the regiment had to prove its combat worthiness arose on the eve of the Korean War during Operation PORTREX one of the largest military exercises up until that point where the regiment distinguished itself by repelling an offensive consisting of more than 32000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division and the US Marine Corps supported by the Navy and Air Force thereby demonstrating that the regiment could hold its own against some of the besttrained forces in the US military 4 On Aug 25 1950 two months into the Korean War with the US Armys situation in Korea deteriorating the Department of the Armys headquarters decided to bolster the 3rd Infantry Division and owing in part to the 65th Infantry Regiments outstanding performance during Operation PORTREX it was among the units selected for the combat assignment The decision to send the regiment to Korea and attach it to the 3rd Infantry Division was a landmark change in the US militarys racial and ethnic policy Fighting as a segregated unit from 1950 to 1952 the regiment participated in some of the fiercest battles of the war and its toughness courage and loyalty earned the admiration of many who had previously harbored reservations about Puerto Rican Soldiers based on lack of previous fighting experience and negative stereotypes including Brig Gen William W Harris whose experience eventually led him to regard the regiment as the best damn Soldiers that I had ever seen 4 The illustration depicts Puerto Ricos 65th Infantry Regiment nicknamed The Borinqueneers in South Korea Feb 2 1951 Courtesy of US Army Center of Military History One of the most significant battles took place near Yongamni in October when the regiment routed a force of 400 enemy troops By the end of the month the regiment had taken 921 prisoners while killing or wounding more than 600 enemy soldiers Its success led Gen Douglas MacArthur commanderinchief of the United Nations Command in Korea to observe that the Regiment was showing magnificent ability and courage in field operations In late January 1951 the regiment were below the South Korean capital of Seoul under orders to take two hills being held by the Chinese 149th Division The assault began Jan 31 and took three days On the morning of the third day with the top of the hills within reach two battalions of the 65th Regiment fixed bayonets and charged straight at the enemy positions The Chinese fled The regiment is credited with capturing 2086 enemy soldiers and killing 5905 During their service in Korea the men of the 65th Infantry Regiment won four Distinguished Service Crosses and 125 Silver Stars The Borinqueneers also were awarded the American Presidential and Meritorious Unit Commendations two Korean Presidential Unit Citations and the Greek Gold Medal for Bravery President Barack Obama signed HR 1726 to award a Congressional Gold Medal to the Borinqueneers in the Eisenhower Executive Office Buildings South Court Auditorium June 10 2014 President Obama highlighted Shortly after Puerto Rico became part of the United States in 1898 a regiment of Puerto Rican Soldiers was formed and they served our nation bravely ever since In World War I they defended the homeland and patrolled the Panama Canal Zone In World War II they fought in Europe In Korea they fought in mud and snow They are the 65th Infantry Regime US Army They are also known as Borinqueneers They were the last recorded battalionsized bayonet assault in the history of the US Army and the nations last segregated Army unit By 1952 senior US commanders ordered that Soldiers from Puerto Rico would not be limited to serve in the 65th Infantry Regiment but would integrate in nonsegregated units both inside and outside the 3rd Infantry Division This was a major milestone in US Army policy that paradoxically harmed the 65th Infantry Regiment by depriving it of some of Puerto Ricos most able Soldiers Altogether approximately 150000 Hispanics served in the war including 61000 Puerto Ricans and during that war many earned awards for valor from Bronze Star Medals to Medals of Honor Among the notable recipients is Gen Richard E Cavazos who served with the 65th Infantry Regiment in Korea and later in Vietnam and became the Armys first Hispanic fourstar general Learn more about the 65th Infantry in Korea in Honor and Fidelity Vietnam War 19591973 More than 80000 HispanicAmericans served with distinction in Vietnam from the Battle for Hue City to the Siege of Khe Sanh President Barack Obama presented 24 Army veterans with the Medal of Honor in one of the largest Medal of Honor ceremonies in history March 18 2014 Each of these Soldiers bravery was previously recognized by the award of the Distinguished Service Cross the nations second highest award that award was upgraded to the Medal of Honor Congressional review and the 2002 National Defense Authorization Act prompted a review of JewishAmerican and HispanicAmerican veteran war records from WWII the Korean War and the Vietnam War During the review records of several Soldiers of neither Jewish nor Hispanic descent were found to View the Vietnam War Medal of Honor recipients and read their courageous stories at Valor 24 Operation Desert ShieldDesert Storm 19901991 Operation Desert Shield the air war and Operation Desert Storm the land war provided another opportunity for Hispanics to serve their country This war brought together a coalition military force composed of NATO member countries to oppose Iraqs invasion of Kuwait our ally and an oilrich nation Aug 2 1990 Approximately 20000 Hispanic servicemen and women participated in Operation Desert ShieldStorm According to Defense Manpower Data Center statistics Hispanics comprised 42 percent of the Army representation in the Persian Gulf theater during the war 1950 Profiles Dr Joseph W Westphal Lt Gen Edward Baca Louis Caldera Gen Richard E Cavazos Capt Humbert Roque Versace Pvt Marcelino Serna Cpl Joseph H DeCastro War Against TerrorismContigency Operations 2003Present Thousands of men and women of Hispanic heritage are placing their boots on the ground in more than 120 countries around the world in contingency operations The international military campaign from the Sept 11 2001 attacks started the Global War on Terrorism Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom In 2013 President Barack Obama announced that the United States were no longer pursuing a War on Terror as the military focus should be on specific enemies rather than a tactic The Hispanic community continues its selfless sacrifice in bringing freedom to people in other countries making major sacrifices and risking their lives to bring justice to terrorists and lay a foundation for a sustainable peace Hispanics have a proud and indeed enviable record of military service dating all the way back to the Civil War Whether their heritage can be traced to Spain Cuba Puerto Rico Mexico or one of dozens of other Spanishspeaking countries or cultures theyve answered the call to duty defending America with unwavering valor and honor Today thousands of HispanicAmerican Soldiers are fighting contingency operations throughout the world engaging the enemy on distant shores as well as protecting the homeland in the most noble of endeavors Today just as in generations past Hispanic Soldiers both men and women can be especially proud of their significant contributions to the war effort and embodying the US Armys values that unite all service members as one 2000

How to Specify Pneumatic Cylinders Assembly Presses Motion Control How to Specify Pneumatic Cylinders Stroke length force requirements and operating environment are among the many considerations when specifying pneumatic cylinders In retract mode air pressure can act on only part of the piston because the rod blocks the center portion of the piston Photo courtesy FabcoAir Inc Cable cylinders can have strokes over 25 feet and can be located remotely from the workload Photo courtesy FabcoAir Inc A magnetically coupled or rodless cylinder can have a stroke length of up to 1 millimeters Photo courtesy FabcoAir Inc Rigid throughhole mounting is available on many shortstroke cylinder models It provides counterbored holes drilled through the cylinder body for easy mounting with sockethead cap screws Photo courtesy FabcoAir Inc A rear clevis mount attached to the cylinder would allow it to pivot but restrain lateral motion Photo courtesy FabcoAir Inc On shortstroke cylinders eye mounts allow pivotal motion of the unit Photo courtesy FabcoAir Inc NFPA standards provide numerous mounting options for pneumatic cylinders Photo courtesy FabcoAir Inc This shortstroke tierod cylinder is essentially two cylinder bodies combined in a single package Engineers can specify the same or different stroke lengths to set work positions as required Photo courtesy FabcoAir Inc Two singlerod cylinders can be assembled with their back end caps attached By anchoring one rod end and allowing the cylinder body to float four distinct end points can be obtained Photo courtesy FabcoAir Inc There are many ways to prevent the piston rod from rotating Here two guide pins incorporated inside the cylinder pass through the piston head These pins prevent rotation of the rod with a tolerance of 1 degree Photo courtesy FabcoAir Inc September 3 2014 Jerry Walling KEYWORDS linear actuators pneumatic cylinders Reprints No Comments Air cylinders are offered in a variety of industry standards Within these standards air cylinders come in an assortment of shapes sizes and types Numerous optional features are also available At first glance the permutations can be a bit overwhelming The good news is that each pneumatic actuator type and configuration has a place in todays factory automation Despite the multitude of standard options pneumatic actuators are still selected for their ability to perform a specific function The applications for air cylinders are endless Here are a few examples Opening and closing a knife gate valve Raising and lowering an automatic screwdriving spindle Diverting goods on a conveyer Raising and lowering a 15foot oven door Operating the gates of a railcar to rapidly unload grain or other bulk commodity Shuttling parts into and out of a semiautomatic assembly station Clamping parts to be welded or bonded Sometimes the application falls outside standard product offerings and only a custom cylinder will suffice However developing custom air cylinders can often be expensive and timeconsuming Whether you need a standard or custom cylinder this stepbystep process will ensure that your time and investment are well spent Two Questions To properly specify an air cylinder for any application two questions must be answered before moving into the heart of the design What type of work will it be performing What types of cylinders are available to choose from Several standard cylinders are usually available to fit any one application but there are often design issues that keep a standard unit from meeting your specific requirements Before charging into the specifics of your application you should get a handle on the basics of what you need To size a cylinder properly youll need to determine how much force it needs to produce When the force is known you can determine the bore size or the power factor effective piston area of the cylinder with the equation force air pressure x power factor Or put another way power factor force air pressure In this calculation we have not considered any safety factors So as a starting point lets use a 50 percent factor of safety Therefore multiply the power factor by 15 and use the result to calculate the cylinder bore from the equation Power Factor x 15 p Bore 2 4 Dont want to do math No worries Cylinder catalogs typically have force factor tables that list the force produced by different piston sizes at various air pressures Pulling force produced when the cylinder retracts brings the diameter of the piston rod into account In retract mode air pressure can act on only part of the piston because the rod blocks the center portion of the piston Thus the power factor for retraction force is calculated as the piston area minus the rod area Again cylinder catalogs typically list rod areas to speed your calculations of pulling power factors If you do not have enough pressure to produce the desired force using the preferred bore size cylinder then you must go to a larger unit This will affect the package size and may create some space requirement issues As a result engineers may need to make some tradeoffs Cylinder Stroke Stroke is usually a given in most applications Decide on it early so you can determine how large a package size youll have when it comes time to address the mounting style How much stroke do you need It depends on the application Closing the door to a large oven might require a 15foot stroke Lifting a stop gate on a conveyor could require only a 2inch motion whereas pushing a load off a conveyor might require 30 inches or more Staking a rivet wouldnt require much stroke at allmost likely only a fraction of an inch Whatever the task knowing the stroke starts to define the type of cylinder youll need and the envelope size required for mounting it For the purposes of discussion cylinders can be classified into four categories according to their strokes short stroke intermediate stroke long stroke and specialty stroke Note that some cylinders may overlap all four categories Compact shortstroke cylinders come in a variety of body styles and have strokes as short as 00625 inch and bores as small as 05 inch Intermediatestroke cylinders have strokes up to 36 inches These tierod cylinders are popular for fastacting lightduty automation applications Aluminum construction reduces weight and cuts manufacturing costs NFPAinterchangeable longstroke cylinders can have strokes up to 99 inches but they are welladapted to applications calling for strokes as small as 4 inches NFPA stands for National Fluid Power Association This organization set up standards for all manufacturers of tierod cylinders Mounting codes were established to ensure that all such cylinders regardless of brand would be dimensionally interchangeable Specialtystroke cylinders can have strokes of more than 99 inches Cable cylinders made by several manufactures are one example With this type of cylinder a clamp can be pulled left or right by a cable attached to the cylinders piston A cable cylinder with a 15foot stroke could be used to control that 15foot oven door I mentioned earlier Because the cable can be any length the cylinder can be mounted anywhere that is convenient for your designdirectly on the oven or across the room if need be Mounting Considerations Mounting can be a challenging issue At this point its time to determine how you want to mount the unit and decide if you have the proper structure and space to do so This seems like a basic concept but failure to plan here can demolish your plans quickly For example if you want to flangemount a unit but a fitting is in the way of the mounting surface you may be forced to redesign the system for a bottom mount In that case an additional plate may need to be added Heres a question to help you determine how to mount a cylinder Will it be pushing a load linearly or turning a crank arm For pushing pulling or lifting along a straight line you want the cylinder to be rigidly mounted You could bolt the cylinder to your equipment either by tapped holes in the bottom or stand it on end and run bolts into sleeve nut mounts in the end cap Or you could choose any of 16 standard interchangeable rigid mounts established by the NFPA Rigid throughhole mounting is available on many shortstroke cylinder models It provides counterbored holes drilled through the cylinder body for easy mounting with sockethead cap screws If the cylinder will be turning a crank arm it would need to pivot A rear clevis mount attached to the cylinder will allow it to pivot but restrain lateral motion By attaching the crank to the piston rod with a flexible coupling we can secure the desired motion Short stroke cylinders have many of the same mounts as the big boys For example eye mounts can be attached to a roundbody shortstroke unit These mounts also provide a pivot point attachment to allow pivotal motion of the cylinder To further assist with these types of flexible mounts rod clevises rod eyes and mounting brackets are widely available Most cylinder styles have mounts similar to the NFPA mounts even if they arent the standard tierod design As example trunnion mounts are available on stainless steel body cylinders Dimensions differ from the NFPA mounts but they function the same Whatever cylinder style you choose be sure to dig deep in the product catalogs to find the mount bestsuited to your application Specialty Cylinder Applications If you have addressed these preliminary questions and determined that a standard cylinder will not meet your specific requirements its time to consider a custom cylinder When designing in a custom cylinder its easier if you start with a particular family of cylinderssuch as NFPAinterchangeable compact or nonrepairablethat will be conducive to your application Is the application heavy duty Is there plenty of room available If yes then you may wish to start with an NFPAstyle cylinder Is real estate at a premium If yes then you may be forced into starting with a compact style Is price the main concern If so then a nonrepairable unit may become your first choice Remember that you do have several choices Once you have determined the style of cylinder you can get to the details of your design You probably know how you plan to mount the unit Engineers often find that mounting a cylinder will require a special bolt pattern or mounting style that is nonstandard In that case youll have to ask how the cylinder can be modified to fit the pattern for a minimum cost Will it require special parts to be manufactured Will it need unique mounting hardware such as plates flanges or brackets Beware In cases where the mount is built into or uniquely attached to your cylinder costs will increase along with manufacturing lead times For example nose mounting might require that unique end caps be produced Integral lug mounts could require special extrusions welding or other creative attachment concept to be employed In lieu of lugs is there room to drill and tap your cylinders end caps or body with special bottom or sidemounting holes Would you have enough depth of thread Motion Elements Now youll want to address the motion elements of your cylinder Are there special movements sensing or side loads being applied that will require special modifications to the cylinder If so youll need to accommodate them If the load must stop at an intermediate position youre in luck You can get three or more rod positions from a single cylinder Many cylinder styles are offered with threeposition options Shortstroke tierod cylinders are available that are essentially two cylinder bodies combined in a single package You can specify the same or different stroke lengths to set your work positions as required Whats more numerous cylinder styles are available in in backtoback configurations that enable positioning at up to four end points As the name implies two singlerod cylinders are assembled with their back end caps attached By anchoring one rod end and allowing the cylinder body to float four distinct end points can be obtained For applications in which antirotation and registration are critical there are solutions Maintaining the loads fixed orientation can be accomplished in several ways In one method used on tie rod cylinders two guide pins incorporated inside the cylinder pass through the piston head These guide pins prevent rotation of the rod with a tolerance of 1 degree A rubber disk is included at the end of each guide pin to take up end play and firmly seat the pins in the precision guidepin holes Because the guide pins are inside the cylinder they are protected from the environment and physical damage and they are lubricated by the system lubrication They require no additional space leaving the rod end area free for attachments and tooling as required by your application Internal guide pins are also available on a number of short stroke cylinder models Another solution uses an external guide block securely attached to the piston rod A steel guide shaft attached to the guide block assures antirotation of less than 08 degree Twin piston rods can also be incorporated into the cylinder head to provide antirotation The rods are securely fastened to the piston and tied together externally by a rod end tool bar The tool bar ensures that the rods move in tandem and provides an ideal mounting surface for attachments required by your application The tool bar is furnished with threaded mounting holes or optional counterbored mounting holes Strokeadjustment styles may be needed when the stroke can change either on the extension or the retraction of the unit An adjusting screw with a threadsealing locknut mounted in the rear end cap provides a simple yet rugged adjustment of the cylinder stroke in the retract direction A fine thread on the adjusting screw will provide precision adjustment Adjustable retract strokes are offered as optional features for many cylinder styles It is also possible to use the back end of a doublerod cylinder to adjust the extend stroke A stop collar bumper and some kind of impact plate could do the trick However if taking this approach use caution and consider a safety cover to avoid leaving the pinch point exposed The need for sensing can often change the cylinder design depending on what type of sensor is needed Standard electronic switching will require magnets to be added to the piston Proximity switches may require internal or external changes to the cylinder so that the sensing probes will have targets that they can read Transducers may also require a variety of internal or external changes to a unit Side loads often suggest a need for items such as stop tubes or heavier bushings because of the wear produced when the cylinder is in motion Cylinder piston rods are supported by a bearing in the front head of the cylinder and the piston itself running inside the cylinder walls As the rod nears full extension the distance between support surfaces becomes shorter The piston rod assembly tends to cock causing uneven wear on the bearing surfaces and shortening seal life One solution to the problem is to install an internal stop tube The stop tube blocks the piston from reaching the front head thereby increasing the minimum distance between support points Component wear is reduced and cylinder operating life is extended However to maintain the same work stroke the length of the cylinder body must be increased by the length of the stop tube Dealing with the increased package size may present issues If you have room available a doublerod cylinder gives you the best piston rod assembly support Rod bearings in both end caps reduce the load on the piston This design also ensures maximum distance between support points Environmental Issues Lastly we come to the environment External issues should be addressed first before considering internal issues External issues are items that will cause harm to the outside of the cylinder Certain wash down or wet environments often require that material changes be made to the basic cylinder components End caps tubing tie rods and other parts might have to be made of stainless steel or a unique type of plastic In lieu of material changes a chemical coating process may be required to use the cylinder in a harsh environment Heat may be another external issue that demands material changes Internal issues include the fluids being used to operate the cylinder and contaminants that could enter into the cylinder If fluids other than air are required to run the cylinder then seal changes may be needed If abrasive materials could enter into the unit rod wipers or scrapers may be needed External chemicals may affect the internal components as well Seal materials may also need to change Special cylinder applications can get quite complicated But by providing cylinder manufacturers with answers to these questions you will greatly help them in their efforts to provide exactly what you need Keep in mind that each deviation from the standard product may cause special parts to be manufactured purchased or designed When you are looking at your next design project I would suggest that you try to fit it into a standard product if at all possible The fewer parts that have to change from a standard product the less likely the cost will have to increase However when a total custom cylinder is required you will need to plan on a longer leadtime because these items will be designed to your specific needs By Jerry Walling Business Development Manager FabcoAir Inc Gainesville FL You must login or register in order to post a comment

Good Carbs vs Bad Carbs There are good and bad carbohydrates Carbohydrates are one of three classes of food called macronutrients the other two are fats and protein The term carbohydrate is a big umbrella including everything from table sugar to cauliflower The basic unit of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide or simple sugar such as glucose or fructose but these simple sugars can be linked together in infinite ways and will have very different effects on the body depending on their arrangement The body can obtain everything it needs to survive from protein fats and the right kind of dietary carbohydrates or good carbs like vegetables which offer many valuable components such as antioxidants fiber vitamins and minerals What Are Good Carbs Good carbs are carbs that dont raise blood sugar too high or too quickly The best carbohydrates like vegetables are found in unprocessed whole foods that are rich sources of phytochemicals plant compounds which protect against cancer heart disease and other illnesses Many phytochemicals are natural antioxidants and many are antiinflammatory Carbs like Atkins approved vegetables and fruits also contain tons of important vitamins and minerals In addition carbohydrates are the only dietary source of fiber Remember a diet focused on eating plenty of good carbs is naturally low in sugar especially processed or added sugar When you focus on eating good carbs you are also avoiding hidden sugars that can make you feel sick and may cause you to gain weight What Are Bad Carbs Why Should I Avoid Them Bad carbs are highly processed carbohydrates refined breads cereals and pastries that raise blood sugar too high and too quickly These refined carbohydrates are not only higher in sugar and significantly lower in nutrients and fiber than whole foods but they also break down more rapidly into glucose and enter your bloodstream far faster than vegetables and other good carbs So if you eat refined carbohydrate foods you stay on the blood sugar roller coaster ride of highs and lows Recommended Carb Consumption Not as much as you think Most Americans get over 300 grams of carbohydrate a day most of it from highly processed sources that raise blood sugar quickly and play havoc with your health A good general guideline for a healthy active individual is between 30 and 40 of your daily calories coming from carbohydrates for weight maintenance though many people can do quite well with substantially less especially for weight loss purposes Athletes in good shape without blood sugar problems may be able to burn more The percentage will ultimately depend on several factors such as your weight goals What Good Carbohydrates Should I Be Eating The best kinds of carbohydrates are those that do not raise blood sugar quickly nor raise it too high but provide lots of nutrition more bang for your nutrition buck Those kinds of carbohydrates are described as good carbs or low glycemic foods Good carbs include vegetables low glycemic fruits such as berries and apples as well as legumes and unprocessed high fiber whole grains Overview Low Carb Diets Want to Lose Weight Choose Your Atkins Plan Atkins 20 Atkins 40 Compare Atkins Plans Hidden Sugars Free Tools Low Carb Blog Library Science Low Carb Articles Research Glossary Healthcare Professionals Science Advisory Board FAQ

MIL

code

ABS

wheel

speed

sensor

malfunction

Guestonly

advertisement

or

now

So

Ive

recently

purchased

a

quattro

with

manual

transmission

that

was

throwing

a

MIL

when

I

purchased

it

It

also

intermittently

throws

the

ESP

light

and

the

speedometer

drops

to

zero

I

got

the

seller

to

have

his

mechanic

diagnose

the

issues

and

pull

the

codes

beforehand

The

sensor

is

a

known

problem

but

I

dont

know

why

the

code

being

thrown

I

spoke

with

a

mechanic

at

my

local

Audi

dealer

who

said

that

it

is

an

issue

with

some

sort

of

control

module

times

out

of

Based

on

some

reading

If

anyone

has

any

advice

or

info

to

share

Id

love

to

hear

it

To

the

best

of

my

knowledge

the

other

issues

shown

on

the

diagnostics

report

are

all

secondary

problems

spurring

from

the

sensor

and

whatever

this

other

problem

is

neither

of

the

two

mechanics

Ive

spoken

with

have

indicated

otherwise

That

or

its

a

wheel

issue

the

car

gets

the

speedo

reading

from

the

so

I

wouldnt

out

a

I

should

add

that

in

the

last

days

it

has

once

told

me

a

front

light

was

out

and

twice

that

the

driver

rear

light

was

out

each

time

the

warning

was

gone

by

the

time

I

drove

again

The

last

time

was

for

a

tail

light

again

but

I

checked

at

it

all

seemed

fine

Im

thinking

that

it

is

either

pure

coincidence

that

it

happened

or

it

points

to

an

electrical

problem

which

leads

me

back

to

the

ABS

module

Is

there

any

way

to

tell

for

sure

whether

it

is

an

issue

with

the

sensor

or

I

would

recommend

replacing

the

front

left

wheel

speed

sensor

My

memory

may

be

wrong

but

I

believe

the

models

used

a

speed

sensor

that

was

mounted

above

the

left

side

inner

drive

axle

bearing

to

send

a

signal

to

the

speedometer

Later

models

used

the

wheel

speed

sensor

for

the

signal

If

you

have

an

open

hole

there

instead

of

a

sensor

the

reading

is

coming

from

the

left

side

wheel

speed

sensor

Since

you

already

have

a

code

for

a

shortopen

circuit

to

the

sensor

that

would

be

a

good

place

to

start

It

could

still

be

Edit

I

have

a

and

the

vehicle

speed

sensor

is

calculated

from

the

left

front

ABS

wheel

speed

sensor

Consequently

the

vehicle

speed

sensor

found

on

earlier

models

is

no

longer

used

and

the

sensor

position

is

plugged

up

with

a

rubber

plug

That

would

be

the

black

plug

with

the

three

ribs

located

just

above

the

left

front

drive

axle

flange

as

shown

in

the

picture

I

just

took

If

you

have

the

same

plug

then

your

speedometer

reading

originates

from

the

left

front

wheel

speed

sensor

located

on

the

back

side

of

the

left

front

wheel

hub

If

you

have

a

sensor

instead

of

a

plug

as

shown

above

you

have

a

vehicle

speed

sensor

that

probably

needs

to

be

replaced

Good

luck

Thanks

for

the

advice

old

guy

As

soon

as

we

get

a

warm

day

Ill

pull

out

my

multimeter

and

see

what

the

sensor

is

outputting

close

Anything

I

should

look

for

in

particular

I

was

just

going

to

see

what

the

resistance

of

the

circuit

is

and

check

for

a

voltage

spike

when

I

try

to

turn

the

wheel

What Does Triple Net NNN Mean in a Commercial Real Estate Lease February 24 2017 by Nathan Smith The triple net NNN in a commercial real estate lease stands for Net Net Net which are the taxes property insurance and common area maintenance charges that Tenants or Lessees pay for in addition to their base rent For example if you see a commercial space for lease quoted as 14 NNN This means that in addition to the 14 sf yearly rate the Tenant is also responsible for paying the NNN taxes insurance and maintenance fees In this example lets assume the taxes are 7 sf per year the property insurance is 040 per year and the CAM is 300 sf per year Based on those numbers the total yearly rent would be 2440 sf per year If you are leasing 4000 sf your yearly and monthly rent would be 97600 and 813333 Keep in mind that NNN are variable and can change from year to year Taxes are the main reason for increases or decreases however the other components could possibly change also Also you will find that office retail and warehouse spaces are typically quoted as NNN leases especially in Austin Tx If you have any questions about the definition of NNN or would like some help with your Austin office space search feel free to call 5128610525 Filed Under Commercial Lease Tips Office Space Lease Tips Retail Space Lease Tips Warehouse Space Lease Tips

Cyclone Yasi as it bears down on the QLD coast in 2011 IMAGE CREDIT Bureau of Meteorology How will Cyclone Debbie compare to Australias worst cyclones in history By AG Staff March 27 2017 The real impact of a cyclone depends on more than just its category with important factors including its size tides and the region it hits Here are some of the most destructive cyclones in Australias history NORTH QUEENSLANDERS ARE bracing for what could be one of the worst cyclones the region has ever seen with Tropical Cyclone Debbie predicted to make landfall just south of Ayr at about 7am tomorrow morning The Queensland Premier has said Debbie will be bigger than Marcia a Category 5 storm that hit Queensland north of Rockhampton in 2015 Yesterday the Bureau of Meteorology also warned Cyclone Debbie could be the most destructive cyclone to hit the region since Yasi six years ago Yasi which made landfall as a Category 5 cyclone in February 2011 was at the time declared to be one of the most powerful storms the region had seen since records began Image of Tropical Cyclone Debbie taken from NASAs Aqua Satellite on 27 March 0350 UTC Credit NASA Goddard MODIS Rapid Response Team Cyclone Debbie is predicted to cross the coast tomorrow as a Category 4 cyclone with fears it could intensify to a Category 5 with winds speeds over 290kmh While cyclones are categorised based on their maximum average wind speed their real impact depends on a multitude of factors including size tides and the size of the population centre hit As Queenslanders evacuate or batten down the hatches ahead of Cyclone Debbie we look back on some of the worst cyclones to have hit Australia in recent history 2015 Cyclone Marcia category 5 Cyclone Marcia intensified from a category 2 to a category 5 just before crossing the Queensland coast north of Rockhampton in February 2015 With wind gusts of almost 300kmh it destroyed about 350 homes and damaged almost 2000 properties in and around Yeppoon and Rockhampton Preempting dangerous coastal erosion conservation volunteers worked hard to relocate the nests of loggerhead turtles higher up the beaches near Bundaberg before the cyclone made landfall Cyclone Marcia brought huge seas that extended down to southeast QLD Here a young boy plays in sea foam at a Coolangatta beach about 600km southeast of where Marcia made landfall Image source Frank McGrathFlickr Commons 2011 Cyclone Yasi category 5 Cyclone Yasi bore down on northern Queensland with all the strength of a category 5 system just days after a category 2 had made landfall 200km to the south Hospital patients were evacuated from Cairns amid fears the city would suffer a direct hit But Yasi crossed the coast near Mission Beach 40km to the south causing major damage to infrastructure and vegetation around Tully Yachts in Port Hinchinbrook suffered millions of dollars of damage One young man was killed he was asphyxiated by fumes while sheltering inside with his generator Sand and tree debris along the Esplanade Townsville Image Rob and Stephanie Levy Wikimedia 2007 Cyclone George category 5 When Cyclone George crossed the WA coast northeast of Port Hedland more than 1000 people in mining camps were left stranded Itinerant workers at a camp about 100km southeast of Port Hedland were among the hardest hit Their temporary accommodations were not built to withstand cyclonic winds and many of the dongas were destroyed resulting in two deaths and numerous injuries George was the most destructive cyclone to affect the Port Hedland region since Cyclone Joan in 1975 Strong winds caused widespread damage with wind gusts estimated to have reached 200kmh 2006 Cyclone Monica category 5 Cyclone Monicas powerful wind gusts wiped out a weather station as it neared the Top End coast in April 2006 It moved over fairly remote regions causing no deaths or serious injuries although Darwins ANZAC Day commemorations were cancelled The Arnhem Land community of Maningrida 35km from where Monica made landfall was one of the hardest hit areas 2006 Cyclone Larry category 45 Cyclone Larry struck northern Queensland near Innisfail just a month before Cyclone Monica The storm and subsequent floods damaged about 10000 buildings of which about 500 were totally destroyed Helicopters delivered food and emergency supplies to several townships isolated by the floods Larry wiped out about 80 per cent of Australias banana crop amounting to around 300 million worth of damage Thousands of people were left without work as a result and a nationwide banana shortage saw the price of the fruit soar The cyclone also destroyed about 15 million worth of avocados 2005 Cyclone Ingrid category 5 Cyclone Ingrid was unusual in that it caused widespread damage in two states and a territory It crossed Cape York as a category 4 intensified to a category 5 before battering coastal and island communities along the NTs Arnhem Land coast and crossed WAs Kimberley coast as a category 4 Five people died when large swells capsized their boat near Kerema in Papua New Guinea 1997 Cyclone Justin category 2 Cyclone Justin crossed the Queensland coast just north of Cairns on 22 March and moved inland before turning southeast and passing back out to sea There was widespread damage to the region in and between Cairns and Townsville caused by a combination of strong winds heavy rain and storm surges In Australia two people were killed one in a landslide near Townsville and another electrocuted by a fallen power line at Innisfail Earlier in Justins life as many as 30 people died in Papua New Guinea 1995 Cyclone Bobby category 4 Cyclone Bobby travelled the length of the northwest Australian coastline eventually making landfall near the Pilbara town of Onslow northeast of Exmouth just after midnight on 26 February More than 400mm of rain fell around Onslow and flooding affected many communities throughout western and southern WA One motorist drowned while attempting to cross a flooded creek and seven other people died when two fishing trawlers sunk off the coast near Onslow 1989 Cyclone Orson category 5 Though Orson was one of the most powerful cyclones ever to have struck WA it moved so quickly that many communities were only exposed to its force for a relatively short period of time Orson crossed the coast at Cape Preston west of Karratha on 23 April moving at 28 kmh Wind gusts up to 275kmh were recorded at a gas station out to sea shortly before the cyclone made landfall Several buildings were harmed in the mining town of Pannawonica while Karratha and Dampier escaped with minor damage Four Indonesian fishermen reportedly died in rough seas around Ashmore Island 1986 Cyclone Winifred category 3 When Cyclone Winifred crossed the Queensland coast south of Innisfail on 1 February it was the most disastrous storm that northern Queenslanders had seen in over 14 years A Bureau of Meteorology report on the storm stated that the general public had a relatively poor understanding of tropical cyclones at the time One elderly man died after being blown from his roof during the storm one person drowned and a teenage girl died from injuries caused by flying debris The damage to crops and infrastructure extended from Cairns to Ingham and was compounded by the flooding of the Herbert and 1978 Cyclone Alby category 4 Alby was a rare extratropical cyclone that caught residents of southwest WA off guard in April 1978 Very few cyclones reach so far south but Alby served as a reminder that when they do they are no less dangerous than their tropical counterparts Five people died during the cyclone and its believed Alby is the most damaging storm ever to have impacted the region Alby never actually made landfall but the hot winds that it brought fanned existing controlled blazes out of control The fires collectively burnt through roughly 114000 hectares of forest and farmland Beach erosion near Perth WA caused by Cyclone Albys destructive force in 1985 Image source Disaster Resilience Knowledge HubFlickr Commons 1975 Cyclone Joan category 5 When Cyclone Joan struck Port Hedland on the Pilbara coast it was one of the strongest ever to have hit Australia About 85 per cent of the houses here were damaged a hospital was destroyed and dozens of caravans were overturned which affected the regions many itinerant mine workers One witness recalled the winds were so strong that small crabs from the sea were blown in under her door Although there was no loss of human life graziers suffered heavy losses to livestock 1974 Cyclone Tracy category 4 When Cyclone Tracy struck Darwin on Christmas morning 1974 it was a catastrophe that left little unscathed With winds of more than 200kmh Tracy left more than half the citys 43000 inhabitants homeless Within weeks threequarters of the entire population had either chosen to leave or had been evacuated Many never returned At least 65 lives were lost and Australian attitudes towards cyclones changed forever Destruction in Darwin following Cyclone Tracy in 1974 Image AAPAP Cyclone Tracy left more than half of Darwins population homeless after it struck on Christmas morning 1974 Image Bill BradleyWikimedia READ MORE ON THIS DAY Cyclone Tracy Cyclone Tracy Unseen images from the Red Cross archive 1972 Cyclone Emily category 3 Cyclone Emily crossed the Queensland coast at a little populated area southeast of Gladstone The cyclone had already started weakening and it dissipated quickly after making landfall but flooding still occurred in Kingaroy and parts of Brisbane The full force of the storm was felt out to sea where Emily was strongest Eight people on boats drowned in three separate incidents off the central and southern Queensland coast 1971 Cyclone Althea category 4 Cyclone Althea hit Townsville on Christmas Eve and was one of the most powerful to ever hit the city It claimed three lives damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes in Townsville and damaged most homes on nearby Magnetic Island Recommendations from the damage assessment changed how Queensland homes were constructed forming the basis for the first statewide building codes 1970 Cyclone Ada category 4 Ada wreaked havoc on the Whitsunday Island group off the Queensland coast over two days on 17 and 18 January 1970 Worst affected were the Daydream Long Hook South Molle and Hayman islands as well as the area between Bowen and Mackay on the mainland At least 13 lives were lost during the storm 1954 The Great Gold Coast Cyclone category 3 The Great Gold Coast Cyclone as it is unofficially known struck southern Queensland and northern NSW during an era when cyclones went unnamed The cyclone caused widespread damage from Noosa through to Brisbane the Gold Coast Byron Bay and Lismore At least 26 people died during the storm Byron Bays entire fishing fleet was swept away and trees measuring more than 1m in diameter were twisted from the ground As the eye of the cyclone passed over Macintosh Island on the Gold Coast it brought calmer conditions which allowed about 30 people to be rescued Shortly after the rescue floodwater 1918 The Mackay cyclone unnamed category 45 Striking Mackay Queensland in January 1918 this cyclone was a large system that caused damage along the coast to Rockhampton where 1400 homes were flooded About 30 people died as a result The railway lines and roads in and around the town were damaged isolating it from the surrounding regions and supplies It took residents five days to successfully send word out to signal the alarm and tell the rest of Australia what had happened Cyclone damaged Methodist Church at Mackay 1918 This image depicts the flattened Methodist Church on Gregory Street Mackay and the damaged Parsonage next door Image John Oxley Library State Library of Queensland The Mackay cyclone of 1918 ripped Mackays Cremorne Hotel apart Cyclone Eline had already damaged the building in 1898 Image source State Library of Queensland 1918 The Innisfail cyclone unnamed category 5 Before 10 March 1918 Innisfail in Queensland was a town of 3500 people After the cyclone only 12 houses remained Its thought 37 people died in the town and possibly another 60 in surrounding areas A storm surge in the Bingil BayMission Beach area swept hundreds of metres inland leaving debris 7m up in some trees 1899 Cyclone Mahina category 5 Cyclone Mahina may have claimed more than 400 lives when it struck Princess Charlotte Bay on Cape York Peninsula in March 1899 making it Australias deadliest natural disaster Researchers in Queensland have attempted to change records stating the storm reached an intensity of 914 hectopascals a measure of central pressure where low figures are more severe They believed the real figure was 880hPa putting it among the worlds most intense cyclones of all time There is no consensus as to whether Cyclone Larry and the 1918 Mackay cyclone were category 4 or 5
