I have an oxygen hose connected here.

There's a ton of information on that fire hydrant.

For other people, it's a guy with a garden hose.

Think about how much information there is there on the local fire hydrant.

What we do is we take a fire hydrant, a no parking space associated with a fire hydrant, and we prescribe the removal of the asphalt to create an engineered micro landscape, to create an infiltration opportunity.

But if we did this in every single every fire hydrant we could redefine the emergency.

If you press on a hose pipe in a sealed system, it bulges someplace else.

You just drive to the nearest lake, stick your hose in it, and you've got your car filled up.

Using this technology, the specialists at UCLA Medical Center were able to identify where that compression in the hose pipe was occurring.

Red can be comical it can draw your attention to the poor little personality of the little fire hydrant suffering from bad civic planning in Havana.

People thought that was crazy. A coat on a fence would make them balk, shadows would make them balk, a hose on the floor ...

It's a little bit like designing a fire hydrant, and it has to be easily serviceable you have to know where it is and what it does.

If your high pressure hose pipe, or your high pressure hydraulic line, bulges a little, you just wrap some tape around the outside of it.

The wackiest plan and I'm not making this up would put what is essentially a garden hose 18 and a half miles high into the sky, suspended by balloons, to spew sulfur dioxide.

Five months earlier, more than 200 gallons of oil had spilled into the sea at Pockwood Pond, Tortola, during a ship to shore hose operation from an oil tanker to a gas station.

Natalie Jeremijenko's unusual lab puts art to work, and addresses environmental woes by combining engineering know how with public art and a team of volunteers. These real life experiments include Walking tadpoles, texting fish, planting fire hydrant gardens and more.

Fortunately, organized Muslim leaders so far have not aggravated the rioting. Of course, the government s reduction of community policing in favor of paramilitary forces stationed in quasi military barracks, and the Minister of Interior s description of the young rioters as scum who should be washed away with an industrial power hose, has not helped.

A good narrative is a great source of soft power, and the first rule that fiction writers learn about good narrative is to show, not tell. Franklin Roosevelt used the fictional story of lending a garden hose to a neighbor whose house was on fire to explain his complex lend lease program to the American people before World War II.

So what we've done is actually gone up to tag salmon shark in Alaska, met salmon shark on their home territory, followed them catching salmon and then went in and figured out that, if we take a salmon and put it on a line, we can actually take up a salmon shark This is the cousin of the white shark and very carefully note, I say very carefully, we can actually keep it calm, put a hose in its mouth, keep it off the deck and then tag it with a satellite tag.
