It is usual to identify the fluids in pipes by bands of paint at intervals, and the engineer should familiarize himself with the code in useAccording to the above sentence, which of the following statements is true?

Wayne Beno

  Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman. Fishing, boating, hunting, walking through the woods with his three dogs, Wayne loved and did it all. Then life changed dramatically. Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease(帕金森氏病).

  "For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day, had horrible side effects, and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors(颤抖).

I'm back to business as usual, which for me means fishing, fishing, and more fishing, every day of the year. Things just couldn't be any better!"

Before getting Parkinson's disease, Wayne loved
