why can't you put LED lights in enclosures - Google Search

https://www.google.com/search?q=why+can't+you+put+LED+lights+in+enclosures&oq=why+can't+you+put+LED+lights+in+enclosures&aqs=chrome..69i57.10343j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 The consensus on this question ranges from "using LED light bulbs in enclosures presents a fire risk" to "using LED light bulbs in enclosures presents NO fire risk, but shortens the life of the bulb due to overheating". LED lights get hot at the base, but they don't seem to get nearly as hot as incandescent bulbs. In an enclosure, heat does not vent out of the enclosure, and the heat source from bulbs builds up. Some commenters in these articles claim there isn't much of a problem with the bulbs if they are only used outside at night when it is cooler, or if they are only on for a short time — such as in a bathroom. But what if the light is left on for a long period because someone forgets to turn it off. To play it safe, find bulbs that are stated to be ...

is an earthquake possible in Chicago - Google Search

https://www.google.com/search?q=is+an+earthquake+possible+in+Chicago The Atlantic article seems to provide the best answers to this question with the admission that experts aren't really sure about all possible faults (see quotes). "Large intra-plate earthquakes, when they disappear on one fault zone, tend to pop up where no one's looking." "No one really knows how intra-plate earthquakes work. And no one really knows what on earth is going on down there deep underground." "In Nepal, the country's earthquake hazard map showed the two ends of the country glowing with seismic hazard and a placid interior. Last April an enormous quake struck this unremarkable center of the country and killed more than 8,000 people." "In most cases these earthquakes are on unmapped faults. A lot of times the way you find a fault in the mid-continent is that you get a big earthquake on it and then you go out and say, 'Oh gee, there'...

how well do trunked radio systems work in disaster - Google Search

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+well+do+trunked+radio+systems+work+in+disaster&oq=how+well+do+trunked+radio+systems+work+in+disaster&aqs=chrome..69i57.14759j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 So the question is … "how robust are trunked radio systems that are used in the public safety sector for police and fire departments?" This first check didn't discover any drills or mentions of how trunked radio systems are affected by earthquake, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc when multiple towers are destroyed. Questions arise regarding whether there would be total failure or limited or hampered communications. This initial search did not find any mention of drills that would prepare firefighters and police officers for operations without communications. There was some mention of hybrid communications systems with overlayed conventional systems that would provide service in the event that the trunked system failed. One document mentioned that the failure of a single c...

idiot - Google Search

https://www.google.com/search?q=idiot The word "idiot" is trending #1 on Tuesday, December 11, 2018 with a count of over 200,000 searches. In a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, December 11, 2018, Google CEO Sundar Pichai was asked to explain why a Google image search for the word "idiot" turned up with a majority of pictures of President Donald Trump. Google was under fire Tuesday, suspected of causing or permitting intentional bias in the search results. Google CEO Sundar Pichai replied by explaining how Google search works: "Any time you type in a keyword, as Google we have gone out and crawled and stored copies of billions of [websites'] pages in our index. And we take the keyword and match it against their pages and rank them based on over 200 signals — things like relevance, freshness, popularity, how other people are using it. And based on that, at any given time, we try to rank and find the best search results for that query. A...

https://www.google.com/search?q=ambulance+revenue+arlington+heights Is Arlington Heights filling the $900,000 budget gap caused by state cuts to the village's share of income and sales tax revenues? Medical transports from nursing care facilities used to be primarily managed by private ambulance services, but now Arlington Heights Fire Department is involved in most of the transports. Research for 2019 will likely reveal how the ambulance income revenue performed, and how it compares to some other communities.
