You asked the following question: “The pipe and tubing allowed by NFPA 13D says that as long as the material is listed in Tables 5.2.2 and 5.2.5, it is acceptable. PEX piping is not listed in either of the tables. However, the handbook lists a table in the annex as A.5.2.2(b). Does this indicate that PEX is allowed by NFPA 13D to use in any system configuration? As mentioned in the standard, a material may be specifically listed, however, if it is listed in the tables, it needs no listing.”…

How did the British people see their empire at the end of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century? They saw the Empire evolving and even some devolving. For the people living in the British empire, during the turn of the century, Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee was a time of pride and yet a time of growing insecurity about the fate of the nation, because of the concerns with status as an economic power, a strong anti-imperial sentiment was growing, and the resistance in Ireland.…

The Moon has not always sat in the sky watching over the Earth and all its inhabitants. No. In fact the Moon used to wander the earth just like any creature or human does now - as did the Sun. This is the story of what she did before she sat up in the sky. This is the story of the Moon and her only friend. The Sun was loved by all. His heart was warm and his smile was bright. His hands were strong hands that as they touched the earth could make bright green plants sprout from even the driest…

This honestly has to be one of my favorite memes that came from the year 2015. This type of meme I would classify as a harmless one that had nothing to do with what was going on at the time. Before talking about what makes this picture a meme, I have to explain the different categories of memes. I like to divide them into separate categories: have some meaning and relevance, no meaning at all but some relevance, random picture that became famous. I would categories doge as a random picture that…

Have you ever had a time where you have followed through on your pride and succeeded with a goal? Was is morally beneficial or was it for your own good? James Hurst, who wrote the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” has laid out information with pride. Pride with an impact can be plenty wonderful or terrible, but generally pride tells us who we are and how we can improve with ourselves. Pride can be wondrous in many ways which might not be as conspicuous, for Brother he has demonstrated the good…

As a child I was unimaginably self conscious about my height. Looking back on it I think it might have been because people would always tell me I was blocking their view, and making me sound like a nuisance. I had pretty much always felt this way until 8th grade when my P.E. coach asked me if I had ever run track. As I walked into the echo filled gym that smelled of socks, and sweat I passed my 5ft tall P.E. teacher, Coach Atkinson, she unexpectedly took me aside and said what every person…

The importance of UOM accuracy is critical when entering sales orders, creating purchase orders to vendors, and processing vendor invoices. All…
