- "The pricy G3SG1 lowers movement speed considerably but compensates with a higher rate of fire than other sniper rifles."
- ―Official description
The G3SG/1, or D3/AU-1, as it was previously known, is a sniper rifle featured in the Counter-Strike series.
The G3SG/1 is a powerful semi-automatic sniper rifle available exclusively to the Terrorists. Alongside with the SIG SG550 and the SCAR-20, it is known as being one of the most imbalanced weapons in the game despite its disadvantages. For this reason, the G3SG/1 is usually banned on many public servers rendering it useless. Moreover, In competitive gameplay, the AWP is often chosen over the G3SG/1 and other auto-sniper rifles due to high damage per shot, better accuracy, and lower cost.
Hitbox | Primary Attack | |
Unarmored | Armored | |
Head | 319 | 263 |
Chest & Arm | 79 | 65 |
Abdomen & Pelvis | 99 | 82 |
Leg | 59 | 59 |
While wielded, the player's movement speed is lowered to 210 units per second (default speed is 250), meaning they suffer heavy speed reduction and are tied with the AWP and SG 550 for the lowest movement speed in the game.
In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, G3SG/1 has slightly increased movement speed to 215 units per second, tied with its counterpart, the SCAR-20.
The G3SG/1 is one of the many weapons able to shoot underwater.
- High damage
- Above average hip-fire accuracy
- Higher rate of fire than the AWP, Scout and SSG 08
- Suffers less accuracy penalty when moving
- Kills in two hits or less
- Shares the same 7.62 ammo used by the Scout, SSG 08, and the SCAR-20
- Second most expensive weapon as of CS, CS:CZ and CS:S ($5000)
- One of the heaviest weapons in Counter-Strike as the player can only move around 210 units when using this gun.
- No crosshair when unzoomed
- High recoil while firing continuously, especially when unzoomed
- Smaller magazine size than the Krieg 550 Commando (20 rounds)
- Long reload time
- Terrorist exclusive
- Crouch and stop moving for better accuracy.
- Do not try to score a headshot if you are unable to; inflicting damage on the torso of targets are powerful enough.
- If an enemy is standing still and does not notice you, eliminate that player with a headshot.
- Use cover when using this weapon.
- When scoped, do not fire continuously like an assault rifle (unless you encounter a group of enemies). This is the most common mistake made while using this weapon. Instead try to leave an quarter to half of a second gap between two shots.
- Crouching will reduce the recoil; it can be best used at long range to attack groups of enemies.
- Unless at close range with a target, avoid spraying bullets at full-auto. Instead. burst-fire while scoped in to maintain high accuracy.
- The G3SG/1 can be useful against a crowd of enemies if you can manage at least a single shot on each person, or multiple kills.
- Due to the penetration damage, it is possible to wallbang by firing at the enemy behind thin boxes or walls.
- Zoom in and mark the central red-dot (1.6 and Condition Zero) / center (Source) of the crosshairs with a wipeable sketch or marker pen of the color of the crosshair. This way the G3SG/1 can be used unscoped as a semi-auto battle rifle. This also works with the lower recoil sniper rifles like Krieg 550 Commando and the Steyr Scout.
- Keep a Desert Eagle handy. Use the G3SG/1 for long ranges and switch to the Desert Eagle to deal with enemies who get too close. If your sidearm is not available, try to spray at the enemy without zooming in.
- If you are armed with a SIG SG550 or Scout and find a G3SG/1 on the ground, exchange your rifle for the G3SG/1. It is an arguably better weapon and is sometimes better than AWP due to its semi-automatic capability.
- In comparison to the Krieg 550 Commando, the G3SG/1 has 10 rounds less in its magazine and has higher recoil. Due to this, some players with a higher latency will prefer the Krieg 550 Commando over the G3SG/1. However, the G3SG/1's first shot is more accurate than the Krieg 550 Commando.
- Rush at them while they are reloading but be careful for covering teammates.
- Use flashbangs or smoke grenades to distract or disorientate users.
- Wield weapons like the AK-47 score a headshot on users just before he can start shooting (or at least, be able to eliminate you with a second hit). (However, since CTs cannot buy the AK-47, it is better to pick up the weapon from dead Terrorists.)
- It is more recommended to use submachine guns or shotguns and engage them at close proximity. This is when enemies with the G3SG/1 will struggle to fight.
- Be careful if a G3SG/1 user is spraying bullets at close range; keep moving to avoid getting hit.
- Hit the user with a HE grenade and rush him.
- Overpower with an AWP. However the luxury of missing a shot against G3SG/1 users and firing again while using an AWP is not available.
- Inexperienced users may fire this weapon constantly and suffer from high recoil. Use sniper rifles that have lower recoil like the SG550 or the AWP to counter users.

- The G3SG/1 was introduced in Beta 1.0 and it was originally the semi-auto sniper rifle for both factions. After the introduction of the SIG SG550 in Counter-Strike 1.0, the G3SG/1 became a Terrorist-exclusive weapon. In Counter-Strike 1.6, some CT bots tend to pick up this weapon during sniper matches.
- In earlier versions of Counter-Strike, this gun was relatively ineffective due to an awkward problem in which the amount of recoil was improperly increased by the game when the player had a ping of more than 0. A related problem was that the recoil of the first few shots was wildly high and inconsistent, and often times, the gun had to be "warmed up" by firing a few early shots before accuracy could be maintained at its full rate of fire. In later and current versions, the recoil issues were fixed and effectively reduced, allowing the gun to be accurate when used at full rate of fire when zoomed.
- The database file name for this weapon is g3sg1.
- Many servers for the online play restrict this weapon for being too powerful (as it can kill a player within 2 shots or less). This weapon is also not available in Assassination maps.
- In the older Counter-Strike games, whenever the user is reloading the weapon, it appears that the magazine is simply taken out of it and that same magazine is put back into it.
- The G3SG/1 in Deleted Scenes and Global Offensive uses an olive drap stock and forearm rather than the black used in the original Counter-Strike, Condition Zero, and Source.
- Like the SG-550, G3 SG/1 in Source version is more deadly than its older game counterparts, due to its increased accuracy and lower spread, but still retains its firepower.
- The G3SG/1 is an "accurized" version of the famous G3 rifle.
- In real life, the G3SG/1 is can change from semi-auto to full-auto by flipping a switch at its side. In-game, the G3SG/1 can only fire in semi-auto mode.
- In Source version, the fire selector switch is set at safe, therefore it should not be able to fire.
- In a real world scenario, the G3SG/1 is a more sensible choice than the AWSM considering the general distance at which firefights occur.
- It is somewhat odd that the G3SG/1 is a Terrorist weapon, as few Terrorist organizations were known to have used the G3SG/1. On the other hand, the G3SG/1 was used by several military and law enforcement organizations for many years.
- Interestingly, Counter-Terrorist bots in older games may pick it up if their default weapon is Scout or SG 550, similar to the Terrorists picking up SG 550 to replace Scout and G3SG/1.
- For the role of a Terrorist semi-auto sniper rifle, a more realistic choice would be the Dragunov Sniper Rifle, its deriatives or the Accurized version of AK series, which was used by insurgents in Iraq, rather than the Heckler & Koch G3SG/1.
- Interestingly, Counter-Terrorist bots in older games may pick it up if their default weapon is Scout or SG 550, similar to the Terrorists picking up SG 550 to replace Scout and G3SG/1.
- Despite being Terrorist-exclusive, the G3SG/1 is commonly seen in Counter-Terrorist hands in menu screens in Global Offensive.
- The G3SG/1 in Counter-Strike:Global Offensive looks similar as the sniper rifle in Left 4 Dead 2. It even has the same reload animations but it lacks a flashlight, has a 20 magazine instead of 30, has some different textures, and the reload animation is longer.

BOSTON, Mass. - A West Springfield man was sentenced today in federal court for advertising, distributing and possessing child pornography.
JEREMIAH J. SALAMON, 35, of West Springfield, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Michael A. Ponsor to 19 ½ years in prison, to be followed by 15 years of supervised release and ordered to pay $300,000 in restitution to two minor female victims. SALAMON pleaded guilty to two counts of advertising child pornography, one count of distributing child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography on December 17, 2010.
At the earlier plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence would have proven that on June 12, 2009, an undercover federal agent downloaded approximately 313 files of child pornography through a peer-to-peer file sharing program from another user called "like22look." The investigation subsequently determined that "like22look" was operated by SALAMON from his West Springfield residence, which he shared with his parents. On July 30, 2009, agents searched SALAMON's residence and seized from his basement bedroom various computer media that contained tens of thousands of images and videos of child pornography, including many files that depicted the rape and sexual torture of young children. On both June 12, 2009 and July 30, 2009, SALAMON knowingly published a notice and advertisement on the peer-to-peer file sharing program that was seeking to exchange child pornography and made his vast collection of child pornography available to selected others.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and Richard DesLauriers, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Boston Field Division made the announcement today. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven H. Breslow of Ortiz's Springfield Branch Office.

Rocksmith is a play-along musical instrument sim that works with a real guitar. Players can plug in and jam out with dozens of original rock recordings, from the Rolling Stones' Satisfaction and David Bowie's Rebel Rebel to the Cure's Boys Don't Cry and Icky Thump by the White Stripes. As in the genre's leading series, Guitar Hero and Rock Band, players can follow sequences of color-coded graphic indicators, which scroll along with the song and represent the notes to be played.In Rocksmith, however, these indicators represent actual musical notes, and a successful performance involves pressing the correct strings on a real fret board. Players perform single-note accompaniments, which become more complex, as they learn the finger positions of additional notes and attempt to master new songs. An automatic difficulty-scaling feature queues up more or fewer notes, according to the player's success throughout a performance. Various mini-games are designed to help players hone different skills. The software also features a tuner and several built-in pedal effects. Rocksmith can be played with any guitar that has a pick-up

and Jessy, yep I know at least half of me will rock that bikini, which is why I got it. now I just need to get the bottom half in better shape.
in 2.5 weeks...did I mention that?
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel Like you're less than, less than perfect
making the flab less jiggly at this point
I have been a little pissy lately, because the scale won't go down past the 130 mark. I am definitely happy with what I see and how I feel, and how my pants fit (lol), but I really want to be 120-125.
I did the ultimate test last night, and tried on my shorts! Last year, none of them fit me and I was crushed. They fit!!!
I still can't figure out why I feel/look okay at 130 when in the past, years ago, that would have still been huge for me - but trying on the shorts gave me some extra motivation to continue!!!
In the past when you were your current weight were you working out? The body is an amazing thing. Working out doesn't necessarily cause us to 'lose weight', but it sure can make us look nice.
Forget the scale. Your clothes are telling you all you need to know!
Me: BS - 50 (seriously???) Him: FWS - 52
Fully reconciled. I ♥ my Husband!!!
When life hands you lemons - break out the tequila and salt!
Yesterday is not today. Today is not forever.
"But you said your vows, and you closed the door On so many men who would have loved you more" -Cath, DCFC
"The most amazing things can come from some terrible lies"
Well, I am going to take this moment to bring my old sarcastic personality into play...
I have lost 7 more pounds in a week, and I look fucking fabulous - seriously. On the outside...
Inside - well...
I think I am going to market this weight loss program and make millions. I shall call it: MISERY
Resolving to find myself again and start living my life again.
Resolving to work towards happiness, whatever that looks like.
While I really want to lose 40 pounds, I'll be happy with 20 and thrilled with 30. I'm going back to WW, and starting an exercise plan.

Life is Good
This is seriously addictive, I love the pain!
M: 6yrs
D-day 11/14/10 (found 5 years worth of emails/chats etc.)
I am so overwhelmed lately and I really need to find my motivation to keep my weight off.
I worked friggen hard and went from over 250 pounds to 135. Size 26 to size 4. Now size 6 and 145......OMG I have to get this under control NOW.....
Any takers to motivate me? I play nicely with others
Just gotta get my head back in that game. I have great support at home which I never had in past attempts.
It's good to identify the backslide early. I always joke it is my "threat level system": up to goal weight + 2 lbs --> level green. From 2 pounds over to 5 pounds over --> level yellow. From five pounds over to 10 pounds over --> threat level orange. Anything more than 10 pounds over, red alert!!!!
(I admit, I am at level orange currently!)
Anything more than 10 pounds over, red alert!!!!
Totally Danger Zone-Red Alert here
That is an awesome way to look at it. Maybe I will make a funky chart and put it next to my scale with the different threat levels until I get back to level green....
I never got to goal on WW so I am not a life time member.
We do walk 4 miles every day-I just eat more than I walk
Whose up to revive this thread.
I know, I completely fell off the train. No, it was more like I jumped off and got run over. So ready to get back on.
Meals for tomorrow are cooked and packed. Alarm is set for 5:45 am to hit the gym BEFORE work because I know I just won't be up for it AFTER. This way, I have no excuse.
I'm ready! Woot woot woot, here we go!!
"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try."
And I have decided to try. Wish me luck! And good luck to all.

Owners Facing Charges After Pet Monkey Sneaks Into IkeaTORONTO, CANADA--The owners of a well-dressed monkey captured at an Ikea store in Canada face charges. The monkey first showed up in the parking lot, then the store lobby. Many shoppers thought it was a promotional stunt. The animal's owners came forward and said the Rhesus monkey escaped from their car and got spooked. Security guards kept the monkey cornered in the lobby until animal control came to take it away. It is illegal for someone to own an exotic pet in Toronto. Most Popular |

FishbowlNY's 2009 Lists: A Timeline Of Magazine Closings
It's been a tough year for the publishing industry, and magazines in particular have had it rough. Every major publisher has had to shutter at least one of its titles, and some of our favorite glossies have gone to that great magazine rack in the sky.
While it would take forever to list all the over 400 magazines that have folded this year, we here at FishbowlNY put together a timeline of some of the bigger names that were shuttered this year. The bad news? It looks like in the last six months of the year the number of titles snowballed. Here's hoping that 2010 looks a lot brighter.
After the jump, our timeline

Irradiation selectively inhibits expression from the androgen-dependent Pem homeobox gene promoter in Sertoli cells (PDF)
Maiti,Sourindra; Meistrich,Marvin L.; Wilson,Gene; Shetty,Gunapala; Marcelli,Marco; McPhaul,Michael J.; Morris,Patricia L.; Wilkinson,Miles F.
Endocrinology 142(4): 1567-1577
Publication date: 2001
How radiation blocks spermatogenesis in certain strains of rats,such as LBNF, is not known. Because the block depends on androgen,we propose that androgen affects Sertoli cell function in irradiatedLBNF rats, resulting in the failure of spermatogonial differentiation.To begin to identify genes that may participate in this irradiation-inducedblockade of spermatogenesis, we investigated the expressionof several Sertoli genes in response to irradiation. The expressionof the Pem homeobox gene from its androgen-dependent Sertoli-specificproximal promoter (Pp) was dramatically reduced more than 100-foldin response to irradiation. In contrast, most other genes andgene products reported to be localized to the Sertoli cell,including FSH receptor (FSHR), androgen receptor (AR), SGP1,and the transcription factor CREB, did not exhibit significantchanges in expression, whereas transferrin messenger RNA (mRNA)expression dramatically increased in response to irradiation. Irradiationalso decreased Pp-driven Pem mRNA levels in mouse testes (approximately10-fold), although higher doses of irradiation than in ratswere required to inhibit Pem gene expression in testes of mice,consistent with their greater radioresistance. The decreasein Pem gene expression in mouse testis was also selective, asthe expression of CREB, GATA-1, and SGP1 were little affectedby irradiation. We conclude that the dramatic irradiation-triggeredreduction of Pem expression in Sertoli cells is a conservedresponse that may be a marker for functional changes in responseto irradiation.

M. MORGAN (Georgia) on January 24, 2013
This mask fits great. I wear a 7-7/8 cap and the adult rip it defense mask is too small. This mask provides better coverage and fits a larger head.
D. SCHOEN (Pennsylvania) on July 25, 2012
Daughter seems to like it....no beefs
B. GOODIE (Virginia) on March 26, 2012
Love this mask. It is much easier to see out of this mask than the plastic masks. Very pleased with the product!
J. FRYE (North Carolina) on July 10, 2011
My daughter loves her new face guard. Prior to getting the metal face guard she had the plastic one. She is a pitcher and was struck in the face with a line drive ball. It broke but saved her face. The force of the ball hitting her caused some damage to her jaw but she is fine now. Since we have gotten her the new face guard she has rebuilt her confidence and feels safer with the metal vs the plastic. I encourage all girls playing fast pitch to wear a face guard. If she had not had a guard the results of that line drive ball hitting her could have been life threating.
G. APOLINAR (Texas) on May 3, 2011
My daughter loves her face guard! Highly recommended!!!!!!

This Week's Contestant
Melissa T.
Theme: | Military Spouses |
Hometown: | Olathe, KS |
Week of: | 02-06-2012 |
My love for The Wheel Of Fortune began long before I was a contestant on the show. My memory goes back to the days when after you solved a puzzle you picked your prize from a giant rotating table. Now I don't remember before there was Pat or Vanna...which is fine because it wasn't really Wheel until they came along.
So my journey began one summer day when I got an e-mail from a good friend of mine that happened to be my old FRO. I guess I should explain what a FRO is. You see I am a military wife and one of the ways we stay connected and informed about our Marines and military happenings is from our Family Readiness Officer's. (FRO.)
Anyways the e-mail said they were thinking about doing a show for the military spouse. NO WAY!!! This was a dream come true. Never in a million years would I think I would have an opportunity like this. So I called the number and left a message saying I would love to be on the show. After a few days I get a call saying they would like for me to come and try out for the show. I went to the tryouts a few weeks later thinking pretty positive. I made it to the second round of the try-outs which included testing and a few practice rounds in groups of three. They said we would know if we were selected for the show in approximately five weeks. They also said if you haven't heard anything in that five weeks then they probably didn't select you. Like I said before I had pretty high hopes after all I did make it to the second round of try-outs and I scored pretty well on the written test.
Days became weeks, weeks became months and there was no letter in my mailbox. Oh well, just the chance to try out was further than I ever thought this Kansas girl would ever get. And then it happened...the phone call that changed my life!!! It was Gary saying they needed a military spouse for the show and wanted to know if I would be interested. Would I be interested???? Are you kidding me...you tell me when and where and I am there.
It is now the night before the taping and I have tried on each and every outfit I brought with me at least twice. I kept getting the same response from my husband..."Dear, whatever you pick out will be just fine" Just fine!!! I'm about to meet Pat and Vanna I need more than just fine I needed to be "HD perfect" (those who watch the show regularly will know what I am talking about when I say HD perfect) It's a little after 11:00pm and I needed to get some sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a big day.
You'll have to tune in Wednesday, February 8th to see how I did.

Stay Open, Stay Safe: 5 Unconventional Travel Safety Tips
For all our readers that ask around the question, "How do you balance safety and openness on the road?" A few thoughts.
The U.S. State Department Travel warnings are shaking the news once again. Apparently, many people are wondering whether to cancel their travel plans. We're getting notes from family and friends asking us to be careful. And we're currently in Berlin.
And while we could not finesse our way to safety if we happened to be right on top of the next terrorist attack, there are all those other times — whether we find ourselves at home or on the road — when a few safety approaches and techniques come in handy. Some are natural, but most are acquired and honed from our years on the road in places like Guatemala and Uzbekistan, Egypt and Myanmar. These approaches not only enable us to travel more safely, but they also give us the freedom to open ourselves up to more people and better experiences.
So when we're asked, "Is there a way to stay open and stay safe?" the answer notwithstanding that there are absolutely no guarantees in life is yes. Continue Reading »

This fun and exciting Kauai biking tour is a cruise through Koke'e State Park and Waimea Canyon State Park. You'll be Kauai mountain biking from the rim of the famed Waimea Canyon (elevation 3600 feet or 1100 meters) down 12 miles (19km) of smooth winding blacktop all the way to the shore of the blue Pacific. It's 100% downhill, and 100% fun!
You can coast at the crack of dawn, or, cruise it at the end of the day. The early birds will be blessed with soft low angled light that draws out the colors of the spectacular canyon. You won't be snoozin' - you'll be cruisin'! An "in-flight" beverage service of fresh-brewed Kauai Coffee and blueberry muffins hot out of the oven is included as you ride up in the van to begin your Kauai biking tour.
If you're not into the early bird thing, try the late afternoon tour. You'll still enjoy the same low angled light for accentuation of the canyon's rugged terrain, only from the west rather than the east. Shadows and colors jump out with soft, brilliant greens, reds and purple highlights. In addition, the forbidden Island of Niihau is visible off to the west. Cold soft drinks, spring water and Kauai cookies will be served on the afternoon tour.
Comfortable helmets and safe operating procedures make for a ride that's safe and controlled, but still fun and exciting. You'll be riding through one of the most beautiful and interesting places on the planet, so of course, you'll stop along the way for photos and narrative on history, culture, folklore and legends. You'll get hands-on and identify native plants, birds and trees. You'll be able to quiz your guides about the best Kauai hiking trails located in Koke'e State Park and Waimea Canyon State Park while you're in the area. As well as having a fun ride in a beautiful place, you'll learn about what makes Kauai special!

Cooperating Associations are mission-driven nonprofit organizations, incorporated under state law. They operate under a signed standard agreement with the National Park Service (NPS) to provide program and financial assistance for interpretation, education, and research in national parks through the production and sale of educational media to the public.
Cooperating Associations and the National Park Service Cooperating Associations are one of the oldest and most enduring partnerships of the NPS. Beginning in the 1920s, Park Service naturalists and historians partnered with private citizens to form nonprofit organizations to assist park areas and serve park visitors.
These nonprofit organizations supported park programs and projects that were not readily achievable through the use of federal funds and personnel. The first of these, Yosemite Museum Association, was established in 1923 to lead a fundraising effort for a museum in Yosemite Valley. Upon successful completion of that project, the Association expanded its mission to support other kinds of park educational needs, such as providing inexpensive quality guides, maps and interpretive literature.
Today, cooperating associations are a vital extension of the NPS's interpretive and educational operations. Cooperating associations help connect individuals to the nation's parks by selling educational and interpretive materials, providing information services, conducting educational programs and field institutes, and raising contributions to support the interpertive and educational mission of the parks. Sixty-four associations operated 1,000 outlets in 325 units of the National Park Service in fiscal year 2004.
Many federal land management agencies, as well as some state and local public land agencies, have partnerships with cooperating associations (also known as interpretive associations). After more than 80 years of collaboration with government agencies, cooperating associations are well established as mechanisms for providing exceptional interpretive and visitor services.

In 1994, motor systems used only for production processes consumed 679 billion kWh or 23% of all electricity sold in the United States that year. Add the energy associated with industrial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, and the total jumps to 747 billion kWh or 25% of all electric sales.
In U.S. industry, process motor systems account for 63% of electricity use; HVAC motor systems account for 6%. Therefore, all types of motor systems account for 69% of all industrial electricity consumption.
It's time to take advantage of the opportunities for motor system improvements in your manufacturing facility. According to data collected during the Market Assessment survey, potential motor system energy savings across all U.S. manufacturing using mature, proven, cost-effective technologies range from 11% to 18% of current annual motor system energy use or 75 to 122 billion kWh per year. In dollar figures, the savings amount to $3.6 billion to $5.8 billion annually. For some specific facilities and systems, Motor Challenge, through its Showcase Demonstration case studies, has documented savings of 33% to 59%, far exceeding the industry average.
The following table shows how potential savings are distributed among different kinds of measures and end uses in manufacturing only. Nearly two-thirds of all potential savings derive from system improvements, such as substituting adjustable speed drives for throttling valves or bypass loops in pumping systems and fixing leaks in compressed air systems. Improvements to major industrial fluid systems—pumps, fans, and air compressors—present up to 62% of all potential savings.
In addition to energy savings, improvements result in many economic benefits such as increased control over manufacturing processes and improved quality control.
Correct Motor Oversizing
Pump Systems: System Efficiency Improvements Speed Controls Total
Fan Systems: System Efficiency Improvements Speed Controls Total
Compressed air systems: System Efficiency Improvements Speed Controls Total
Specialized systems: Total
Total System Improvements
13,698 14,982 28,681

2.4% 2.6% 5.0%
0.5% 0.3% 0.8%
2.3% 0.4% 2.7%
Ten industries (paper mills; petroleum refining; industrial inorganic chemicals; paperboard mills; blast furnace and steel mills; industrial organic chemicals; industrial gases; plastics materials & resins; cement, hydraulic; and pulp mills) account for nearly half of all manufacturing motor system energy use and half of all potential motor system energy savings. They include only 3583 facilities or 1.5% of all manufacturing plants. In all these industries, the annual cost of motor system energy in a typical plant exceeds $1 million. In steel mills, for example, the cost is $6 million. Because these industries use large amounts of motor system energy, they also have the opportunity to achieve large energy savings. Potential savings range from $90,000 annually in the industrial organic chemicals sector to nearly $1 million annually in petroleum refineries.
What does all this mean for your company's bottom line?
The process industries listed here operate on very thin margins. In 1996, the operating margins for these groups were around 16%, so even relatively small increases in operating margin can significantly impact profitability.
Take the Systems Approach to Energy Efficiency and Save Over the last 5 years, industrial engineers and plant managers have begun to formulate and articulate a systematic approach to achieving energy efficiency in motor systems. Motor Challenge has joined forces with electric utilities, trade and professional organizations, and government agencies to promote this approach. The systems approach can be broken down into three elements:
Turn to the Market Assessment for examples of the systems approach to efficiency measures in pump, fan, and compressed air systems. Here's an example of what you'll find.
Process System Design Reduce Overall System Requirements - Equalize flow over production cycle using holding tanks. - Eliminate bypass loops and other unnecessary flows. - Increase piping diameter to reduce friction. - Reduce safety margins in design system capacity.
Match Pump Size to Load - Install parallel systems for highly variable loads.
Reduce or Control Pump Speed - Reduce speed for fixed loads; trim impeller, lower gear ratios. - Replace throttling valves with speed controls to meet variable loads.
10%-20%* 10%-20% † 5%-20% † 5%-10%†
5%-40%† 5%-50%†
Component Purchase - Replace typical pump with efficient model. - Replace belt drives with direct coupling. - Replace typical motor with most efficient model
1%-2% About 1% 1%-3%
Operation and Maintenance - Replace worn impellers, especially in caustic or semi-solid applications.

Known as the nation's first-ever prolotherapy search-and-booking platform, PRP411.com is actively seeking Delaware doctors to satisfy a patient influx. With a massive amount of Delaware pain patients seeking this treatment, PRP411.com is providing the answer.
(PRWEB) February 18, 2014
Widely-acclaimed across the United States as one of the first-ever prolotherapy search-and-booking platforms, PRP411 has solidified its patient-centered brand as one of the most reputable names in locating a PRP-administering doctor. Originally, the PRP411 interface was designed in order to attend to an influx of pain patients seeking regenerative medicine practices. As one of the Internets first portals for the country's prolotherapy patients, this company is seeking reputable doctors who administer this non-invasive healing treatment known as platelet-rich plasma therapy.
PRP411.com is comprised of a unique network that features a multitude of medical practitioners who are looking to help Delaware pain patients achieve renewed wellness and personal healing. With more and more Delaware patients seeking this Hollywood treatment of the stars, the company has now turned its attention to the Diamond State.
A regenerative remedy that has been praised by some of Hollywood's most beloved celebrities and athletes, platelet-rich plasma therapy is utilized by Delaware pain patients in hopes of providing healing from any sustained injury. Differentiating significantly from other forms of pain treatments, PRP greatly strays from anything resembling a surgical pain treatment. PRP is performed via non-invasive administration and will help accelerate a patients healing response.
While the human bodys process of healing is an absolute essential in maintaining homeostasis, platelet-rich plasma will help Delaware pain patients heal or reduce debilitating symptoms associated with a multitude of injuries. Delaware PRP patients will be happy to know that PRP411.com is a compassionate entity that consistently works around the clock to set platelet-rich plasma patients with a reputable prolotherapy doctor in Delaware.
Perhaps the biggest perk with choosing PRP as your regenerative therapy of choice is that patients are not obligated to spend any time in a hospital-based setting. Our company understands that being situated in an uncomfortable setting for an extended period of time is absolute agony. Thankfully, with platelet-rich plasma injections, patients are able to go home after a procedure and not have to deal with any hospital complications. Additionally, an administration of a platelet-rich plasma injection is able to take place right in any Delaware prolotherapy doctor's office as an out-patient process.
PRP411.com urges any and all Delaware doctors who practice prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma to subscribe to this network and help satisfy a massive influx that is being experienced. With nowhere to go, these patients need more reputable locations to help receive healing.
