Research shows that in the event of a fire people living in rural areas face a higher risk of fatality and losing property than their urban counterparts... The following points need to be considered in order to limit the chance of fire and reduce the possible loss should a fire break out : Make sure your property is identifiable. Rural numbering is invaluable to assist in a quick response by emergency vehicles... Ensure you have adequate water supply close by for firefighting purposes. Signpost your water supplies just in case they’re needed to extinguish your neighbour's fire. Make sure portable pumps can be located within 7 meters of an open water supply. 1, record 2, English, - open%20water%20supply

After the Shuttle leaves the Space Station, the crew will continue installing the Human Research Facility connecting umbilicals and other equipment to link it to systems in the Destiny laboratory. This floor-to-ceiling rack is about the size of a large phone booth and supports a variety of experiments dedicated to studying how space flight affects human physiology.... This rack houses a computer workstation and a portable laptop computer for crew members to command and test equipment, collect and store experiment data, and send data to and from scientists on Earth. The crew will use this rack to store and send data from the suite of radiation monitors that will be characterizing the radiation environment onboard the Space Station... 4, record 3, English, - human%20research%20facility%20rack

The MARES is aisle mounted, capable of assessing the strength of isolated muscle groups around joints, or complete limbs by controlling and measuring interrelationship between position/velocity and torque/force as a function of time. It has interfaces to the US Lab or Columbus Laboratory. Sensors, direct drive motor, battery and electronics are housed in the "Main Box". Chair and human adapters provide the subject restraints. The Microgravity Isolation Frame, to which the Main Box attaches, minimises disturbances to other payloads. MARES uses the Human Research Facility portable computer(HRF PC) for interacting with the subject/operator. MARES is capable of acquiring data, controlling and providing power to external devices(HRF PC, PEMS, EMG amplifiers, etc.), and transfers real time data to the rack mounted Workstation for downlink. It is capable of 1 hour of stand-alone data collection... 3, record 4, English, - muscle%20atrophy%20research%20and%20exercise%20system
