амер.; жарг.≈ плевать хотел, до лампочки‘Well?’ the sheriff said, ‘The hell with it.’ Macomber dried the sweat off his face with a colored handkerchief. ‘It's no skin off my back.’ (I. Shaw, ‘Sailor off Bremen and Other Stories’, ‘The Deputy Sheriff’) — - Ну как? - спросил шериф. - К черту все это, - ответил Макомбер. Он вытер пот с лица цветным платком. - Не мое это дело.
‘I don't care whether he ever gets there,’ she said. ‘It won't be skin off my nose.’ (R. P. Warren, ‘All the King's Men’, ch. II) — - Мне все равно, приедет он на митинг или нет, - ответила Сэди. - Плевать мне с высокой горы.
The place was full of strangers... He felt a little irritated at this, although it was no skin off his nose. Sam Kidd was paying for all the food and drink. (S. Chaplin, ‘The Watchers and the Watched’, ch. 2) — В зале было много незнакомых... что раздражало Тигра, хотя это была не его забота: за все яства и напитки платил Сэм Кидд.

Byrom, 1692-1763):Some say, compar'd to BuononciniThat Mynheer Handel's but a ninny;‘Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee.’ (‘On the Feuds between Handel and Buononcini’, 1725)]; см. тж. tweedledum and tweedledeeAlthough Swift could not see the difference between tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum, posterity has not shared the Dean's contempt for Handel...

43 ups and downs
1) подъёмы и спуски, неровности местности, ухабыHe had forgotten that the road was dusty, bumpy, narrow, twisting and full of ups and downs, which slowed them down continuously. (R. Aldington, ‘All Men Are Enemies’, part IV, ch. V) — Он забыл, что дорога тут пыльная, кочковатая, узкая и извилистая, с бесконечными подъемами и спусками и что все это замедляет езду.
2) превратности судьбы, удачи и неудачи, радость и горе, взлёты и падения (часто ups and downs of fortune, of life, etc.)I've had ups in my life, and I've had downs... (A. C. Doyle, ‘The Sign of Four’, ch. XII) — Я столько испытал в жизни...
With many ups and downs he was after six months, in sight of his goal. (W. Du Bois, ‘Mansart Builds a School’, ch. XI) — Спустя полгода, после многих удач и провалов, он почти накопил желаемую сумму.
Every mountain also has its valley. This certainly is true of capitalist production, the history of which is characterized by recurring cyclical economic crises. Although once again we are being assured that this time the "ups" and "downs" of the economic cycle have been flattened out into just a series of "ups". (G. Green, ‘The Enemy Forgotten’, ch. V) — Хребтов без долин не бывает. Эта истина относится также и к капиталистическому производству, история которого характеризуется периодически повторяющимися циклическими экономическими кризисами, хотя нас снова уверяют в том, что на этот раз все "взлеты" и "падения" экономического цикла выровнены в одну сплошную серию "взлетов".
3) повышение и понижение ( цен)If... you analyse the movement of market prices for longer periods... you will find that the fluctuations of market prices, their deviations from values, their ups and downs, paralyse and compensate each other. (K. Marx, ‘Wages, Price and Profit’, ch. VI) — Если... вы проанализируете движение рыночных цен за более продолжительные периоды... то вы найдете, что колебания рыночных цен, их отклонения от стоимостей, их повышения и понижения компенсируют друг друга.

polychlorinated biphenyl
PCBs are a family of chemical compounds which do not exist in nature but which are man-made. Commercial mixtures are clear, pale yellow liquids, manufactured by the replacement of hydrogen atoms on the biphenyl molecule by chlorine. Because of their physical properties, PCBs are commonly found in electrical equipment which requires dielectric fluid such as power transformers and capacitors, as well as in hydraulic machinery, vacuum pumps, compressors and heat-exchanger fluids. Other uses include: lubricants, fluorescent light ballasts, paints, glues, waxes, carbonless copy paper, inks including newspapers, dust-control agents for dirt roads, solvents for spreading insecticides, cutting oils. PCBs are stable compounds and although they are no longer manufactured they are extremely persistent and remain in huge quantities in the atmosphere and in landfill sites. They are not water-soluble and float on the surface of water where they are eaten by aquatic animals and so enter the food chain. PCBs are fat-soluble, and are therefore easy to take into the system, but difficult to excrete. (Source: PZ / PHC)

forest cover destruction
Destruction of forests is carried out in many countries in order to provide new land for agricultural or livestock purposes. It is often done without factors such as climate and topography having been sufficiently studied and on lands where slope nature of the soil or other physiographic characteristics clearly indicate that the land involved is suitable only for forest. Although these practices may lead to a temporary increase in productivity, there are also many indications that in the long run there is usually a decrease in productivity per unit of surface and that erosion and irreversible soil deterioration often accompany this process. Many factors contribute to forest cover destruction: timber production, clearance for agriculture, cutting for firewood and charcoal, fires, droughts, strip mining, pollution, urban development, population pressures, and warfare.

algal bloom
Excessive and rapid growth of algae and other aquatic plants when they are stimulated to grow too quickly by pollution. It takes place when there are too many nutrients in the water and is aggravated when accompanied by a rise in temperature. Although the algae grow quickly they soon die because they have swallowed up all the water's nutrients. As they decompose they tend to rise to the surface and form a green slime. Algal bloom have increased because higher levels of nitrogen and phosphates from agricultural areas have leached from the fields into water courses. (Source: WRIGHT)

53 jockey pump
насос сплинкерной системы пожаротушения
жокей-насос
-Принцип работы насосной установки спринклерной системы пожаротушения, в состав которой входит жокей-насос
В случае падения давления воды в спринклерной системе, первым включается жокей-насос. Если расход воды небольшой и жокей-насос справляется с восполнением утечки, то через некоторое время после достижения верхнего предела заданного давления он выключится. Если же это не протечка, а открылось несколько спринклеров и расход воды значительный, то даже при работающем жокей-насосе давление продолжает падать. В этом случае, по сигналу второго реле давления, включается пожарный насос. Резервный агрегат включается в случае невыхода основного на рабочий режим. Независимо от того, потушен пожар или нет, пожарные насосы сами не отключаются, их можно выключить только вручную со шкафа управления.

Jockey Pump
A jockey pump is a small pump connected to a fire sprinkler system and is intended to maintain pressure in a fire protection piping system to an artificially high level so that the operation of a single fire sprinkler will cause an appreciable pressure drop which will be easily sensed by the fire pump automatic controller, causing the fire pump to start. The jockey pump is essentially a portion of the fire pump's control system.
In the U.S.
The application of a jockey pump in a fire protection system is covered by documents produced by the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association,) known as NFPA 20 "Fire Pumps" Standard and NFPA 13 "Design and Installation of Fire Sprinkler Systems". These must be inspected as with any other part of the system per NFPA 25 "Inspection and Testing of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems".Fire protection systems are governed in most states by statute, building code, and/or fire code.
In India
This jockey pump is also a must while designing the Fire Hydrants Pumps skid for Industrial installations.While the logic followed for the effective operation of the fire fighting pumps may depend upon or vary as per the regulations in a particular country, in India, the pump manufacturers like Mather-Platt with standard Fire Pumps generally adhere to the TAC guidelines (Tariff Advisory Committee guidelines).
Although India's premier manufacturer Kirloskar Brothers Limited, with approvals from UL and FM Global, LPCB, ASIB: follows TAC guidelines (Tariff Advisory Committee guidelines), or FM GLobal and UL standards depending on the clients needs.
If one is following the TAC guidelines, follow this approach
*Once the complete fire fighting circuit is under pressure by operating the pumps for sufficient time provided all the fire hydrant valves (Single yard hydrants, Fire escape hydrants, etc)are closed, the main pump stops.
*Due to some leakages somewhere in the fire fighting piping circuit, when there is a loss of system pressure which will be constantly monitored by the Pressure sensors in the circuit, the jockey pumps receives a signal to start from the automatic control panel, and will run to augment this loss of pressure by pumping more water into the circuit. Once the pressure is maintained as per the set point, it stops.
*If any hydrant valve is opened due to some fire and water is consumed, then the jockey pump due to its small capacity compared to the main pumps (one running, one stand-by)in terms of volumetric capacity, the main pump will start and then the jockey immediately stops.This way jockey pump is important which senses the loss of pressure in the circuit first.[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jockey_pump#Jockey_Pump]
