Choose Popular Sump Pump Brands in the Market Today
Although the best sump pumps may appear to be similar on the outside, inside their metal housings sit a range of technologies and patents, which decide how efficiently the pump would do its work. Quite naturally, these technologies are the property of the manufacturers (barring a few exceptions) and hence, when applied in various combinations, make products of one company markedly different from those of another. While these differences don't make any single brand supreme in all circumstances, they are nevertheless important for understanding the nature and utility of an individual pump in a particular condition. For your convenience, we have compiled a short list of the best sump pump brands available in the market today.
1. Superior:-
Superior Pump Run by a family with a plumbing background dating back to the 1880s, Superior Pump has been offering its products from Minneapolis, Minnesota since 1999. Being relative new entrants, their goal is to improve existing designs and while doing so, reduce the costs of the products concerned.
• Makes its motors and motor parts (unlike other companies which outsource such work) using patented technology.
• The motor housing is a single-piece metal object, which ensures that the chances of water seeping through joints in the metal being eliminated. The region where the motor housing meets the base of the pump is the area most prone to weakening. To avoid this, Superior as provided two sets of special seals in this sensitive region.
• Heavy duty jacketed steel shafts provided for better handling of heavy water flow and debris.
As the key sump pump features mentioned in our buying guide will show, copper is ideal for using in the generator unit, and so we find Superior using authentic copper windings in the motor.
Different grades of metal employed in various products, thereby making some more capable of handling heavy water and debris pressure than others, and thus confusing the customer. No handles included for easy transportation.
2. Wayne:
A veteran player in the water solutions and home improvement market, Wayne has dedicated research units that continually try to improve the sump pump designs. This innovation, coupled with feedback from users, has led it to feature regularly in honor rolls like "The Old House", a home improvement magazine's Top 100 products.
• All products made with durable cast iron for excellent durability.
• Good external defense complemented by excellent internal ceramic sealing to ensure internal parts are water-safe.
• Most products, even those with 1HP or higher power ratings, are highly compact and can coexist with other sump pumps in small sumps with ease.
• Makes use of top suction strainer technology for filtering debris, not found in other sump pumps.
• Excellent and durable switch designs for accurate turning on/off of the product.
Unlike Superior Pumps models, handles are present, but they are slight and interfere with other external components (while moving, not while working in the sump). Units using float switches tend to have large floats despite the overall sumps pumps being compact.
3. Zoeller:-
Part of a broad conglomerate of companies dealing with water solutions, Zoeller Pump Company is dedicated to quality, integrity, and teamwork. This has allowed the company's products to rank among the top few sump pump brands in countries ranging from Brazil to China and Afghanistan to African nations.
• All products made with quality cast iron, with sheet iron being avoided completely.
• High-quality epoxy coating ensures that the products do not rust.
• Offers a neoprene ring for hermetic sealing of the motor at the junction of the housing and the base.
• Impellers are specially designed to allow small spherical or spheroid solids to pass through.
• Make use of 4-pole, 1500MHz or higher RPM motors, which, being well oiled and hermetically sealed, produce excellent pumping action and carry out the simple steps to clean a sump pump, even easier.
A Huge number of products and overlapping categories make for a confusing selection process for the uninitiated buyer. Some products have an average maximum head.
4. Liberty:-
Liberty Pump Operating out of a rural Upstate New York community since 1965, Liberty Pumps offers all the benefits of a compact, single plant manufacturing system – uniformity, centralized handling and rapid transition of research points into the design. Indeed, these have led Liberty Pumps to move into the Rochester Top 100 Companies and obtain the commendable ISO 9001 certification for their manufacturing plant and processes.
• Offers special quick disconnect power cable, making this one of the safest and easiest to operate for both veterans and those learning how to install a sump pump.
• Ideally designed discharges make removal of small solids and other debris easy.
• Hermetically sealed motor allows for longevity and efficiency.
• Use of particular polymer float and impeller make this product lighter and more efficient than older designs.
• Extensive use of Vertical Magnetic Float makes application to smaller sumps easier.
While the polymer float no doubt contributes to Liberty being one of the favorite sump pump brands, the polymer impeller has been considered inferior to metal ones. Heavy and not meant for rapid movement.
Some sump pump features – like cast iron housing – are relatively standard, while others like diaphragm switches and cold rolled steel occur in only one brand. Hence, it is important to shortlist features vital to one's needs and then focus on the modern sump pump brands accordingly. Though it has not been possible to cover all the facets here, the points provided match the ones consulted most frequently, and as such should provide an excellent guide to your sump pump purchase decisions.Read More Choose Popular Sump Pump Brands in the Market Today

Coaches often emphasize it, but the casual football fan often underestimates it -- the importance of special teams. It was a phase of the game Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson agonized over last season and resolved to fix, starting this spring. It was also a priority of UNC coach Butch Davis this spring.
Considering the numerous specialists who have graduated, it's an area of concern for several teams across the conference this spring. The biggest names gone from a year ago are: FSU's Graham Gano and Michael Ray Garvin, UNC's Brandon Tate, Wake's Sam Swank, and Virginia Tech's Dustin Keys.
Here's a quick breakdown of the top specialists returning from a year ago:
Matt Bosher, Miami -- He is a frontrunner for this year's Lou Groza Award, as Bosher is the leading returning placekicker in the nation in field goal percentage. He made 18 of his 20 attempts last year and was a semifinalist for the award.
Josh Czajkowski, NC State -- He made 16 of 19 field goals last year (84.2 percent), his longest being 42 yards.
Travis Baltz, Maryland -- He led the ACC with a 41.1 yard average and had 24 land inside the 20-yard line with 18 result in a fair catch. Baltz ranked 43rd in the NCAA.
Bosher -- His double duty included a 40.3 yard average with 19 inside the 20, and he led the ACC with 24 that resulted in a fair catch.
Brent Bowden, Virginia Tech -- His longest was 57 yards, and he averaged 40.4 yards per punt. He'll be a senior this year.
Kevin Jones, Duke -- In his second season as a starter, Jones led all ACC punters in pinning opponents deep inside their own territory. At least 27 of his punts landed inside the 20-yard line, and he ranked second in the conference in punting with a 40.8 average. Duke allowed only 5.7 yards per punt.
Torrey Smith, Maryland -- Smith set an ACC single-season record last year for kickoff return yardage, with 41 returns for a total of 1,089 yards. He broke the record during Maryland's bowl game when he returned one 99 yards for a touchdown against Nevada in the Humanitarian Bowl.
Travis Benjamin, Miami -- He was an exciting player to watch and led the ACC in punt returns with 11.3 yards per return. His longest was an ACC-best 44 yards. He averaged 22.5 yards on kickoff returns.
Bruce Carter, UNC -- The Tar Heels' third-leading returning tackler made a name for himself last year when he blocked an ACC-record four consecutive punts. The first three came against then-ranked No. 25 Connecticut and the fourth came against Miami.
T.J. Graham, NC State -- He came close to setting an ACC record in kickoff return yardage, as his 974 yards on 41 returns was the third-best single-season total in ACC history. He also ran one back 100 yards for a touchdown.
Dyrell Roberts, Virginia Tech -- He finished fifth in the ACC in kickoff returns as a freshman, with an average of 24.8 yards.
C.J. Spiller, Clemson -- He racked up an ACC-high 1,170 all-purpose yards, helping the Tigers on both punt and kickoff returns.

2014 is already here and quite a few things that we spoke about as being 'in the future' are already upon us. Usually, this is also the time of the year when crystal ball gazing into the trends for the forthcoming year starts. I have been doing this as a ritual for the last decade or so, but I can assure you its only getting harder, not easier, to predict trends.
Some of the key trends that I foresee in 2014 are:
Consolidation of media owners: 2013 saw consolidation at the agency side. The Dentsu-Aegis merger, the Publicis-Omnicom merger and others hogged the limelight. 2014 will see the same on the media owners' side. The television broadcasters will consolidate, as there is just no space for so many channels. I feel, in the long run, not more than 4-5 players per genre will survive. The weak will be merged into the fitter players and a wave of consolidation will sweep the industry. OOH will see the same. There are probably 15,000 plus media owners in that space. Consolidation is bound to happen.
Research data migration related chaos: In 2014, the industry is going to see the biggest migration of research data, both in the print and in the broadcast arenas. The industry, hopefully, is moving towards more robust data gathering and reporting under the aegis of BARC in TV and RSCI in print. This will be good in the long run, but in 2014, it will be naïve not to expect some pain and chaos when the migration from the old to the new researches takes place. However, since the end result will be in our interest, we need to bite both those bullets in 2014.
Year of Activation and BTL: There is a clear trend of shifts in client spends from ATL to BTL. With the increase of modern trade, the desire to reach and engage the consumer directly is increasing for the advertisers. In 2000, the ATL: BTL spends ratio was approx. 80:20. Aegis Media calculations indicated that by 2015 this may change to 50:50. There is a clear trend and need for areas such as Events, Ground Activation, Retail and Rural Marketing to get their space in the marketing spends. 2014 will see this trend increase.
Monetising mobile & omnipresence of digital: You don't need to be a trend spotter to suggest that digital as a medium will continue gaining importance. Yes, that will happen, but a clear trend will be that after a decade of using mobile for basic SMS type advertising, thanks to 3G and perhaps 4G, we may finally see a way to monetise mobile advertising. We've all heard of the 700+ million mobile users, but as an industry not learnt, so far, as to how to convert that to an effective advertising medium. 2014 will lay the foundation for the same.
Content will be king & will be medium agnostic: One of the outcomes of the rapid digital development will be that content will become medium agnostic. A consumer will be interested in a good content that he/she can relate to, but it won't matter to them whether content was viewed on TV or on the PC during a lunch break. This will pose a new set of challenges for the broadcasters, advertisers and advertising agencies, who invariably tend to trail the consumer, rather than lead him.
These are some of the key trends in the Indian media industry that I foresee in 2014. Like every year, I will revisit them at the end of 2014 to evaluate which trends gathered momentum and which didn't. What's important to remember is that often trends transcend years because no one gives a calendar to a trend!

Jordan Perzik
Jordan Perzik - Committed to Environment, Ethnography, and Astronomy
About Jordan Perzik
Jordan Perzik is an environmental conservationist, an enthusiast
of regional art and architectural preservation, an archaeologist, and an
ethnographer based in Los Angeles. Also harboring a profound interest
in astronomy, which serves as a source of inspiration for his
environmental conservation efforts, Jordan Perzik has collaborated with
prominent Los Angeles astronomers to encourage science education. Mr.
Perzik is a member of the International Dark-Sky Association, in which
he is a proponent for the use of cutting-edge technology that can aid in
the preservation of the night sky for the fulfillment of future
As a member of the Carnegie Institute for Science's Mount Wilson Observatory, Jordan Perzik has invested more than 100 hours to the study of galaxies, protoplanetary nebulae, and globular clusters using George Ellery Hale's historic 60-inch telescope. He is also a life member of the Los Angeles Astronomical Society, Griffith Observatory, and Caltech Astronomy's Palomar Observatory. He holds a master's degree in clinical psychology from Antioch University.
An Introduction to Globular Clusters
A doctoral student at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California, Jordan Perzik actively engages an interest in astronomy that enhances his clinical abilities. Jordan Perzik has logged more than 100 hours in the study of globular clusters and other interstellar phenomena at the Carnegie Institution for Science's Mount Wilson Observatory.
When observing a galaxy, astronomers may find a group of stars that seem to have gathered in a spherical formation. Scientists call these groupings globular clusters, and contemporary research has shown that they are frequently of a similar age. Globular clusters in our own Milky Way galaxy, for example, tend to appear in the galaxy's oldest regions and include some of the oldest stars.
The Milky Way's globular clusters are a minimum of 10 billion years old and contain primarily low- and intermediate-mass stars. Furthermore, while the younger stars in the galaxy possess high concentrations of heavy metal, the stars in globular clusters tend to be metal poor. These differences that distinguish globular cluster stars from the galaxy's newer stellar inhabitants have made clusters of high interest to astronomers who seek to better understand galactic formation.
Three Ways to See the Stars in Los Angeles
Clinical psychology PhD candidate Jordan Perzik attends the Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California. An astronomy enthusiast and longtime resident of Southern California, Jordan Perzik has clocked more than 100 hours observing California's night sky through the historic 60-inch telescope created by George Ellery Hale. Though many residents of Los Angeles do not access telescopes of this scale, the following locations in the area can help astronomy devotees escape light pollution and provide them with excellent views of the Southern California stars.
The Santa Monica Mountains
To the west of downtown Los Angeles lie the Santa Monica Mountains, where viewers can take in the stars from both Topanga and Malibu Creek State Parks. For those who want to turn stargazing into an overnight trip, designated camping spots are available throughout Malibu Creek State Park.
Griffith Observatory
Griffith Observatory offers the community an opportunity to see celestial objects through the use of public telescopes. Professionals who work at the observatory are also available to help new astronomy fans operate the telescopes every night until 9:45 p.m.
UCLA Planetarium
While visitors to the UCLA Planetarium may not be able to directly see the stars overhead, the planetarium does offer free shows on Wednesday nights, where attendees can learn more about constellations and the study of astronomy. On evenings when the skies are clear, UCLA allows visitors to take a look at the sky through one of the astronomy department's telescopes.
Star Is Swallowed by a Black Hole and Emits Detectible Plasma Jets
Currently earning his PhD in clinical psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, Jordan Perzik has a passion for astronomy. With an interest in cosmos-related discoveries and events, Jordan Perzik has completed more than 100 hours of observation at the Mount Wilson Observatory.
In late November 2015, the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research in Perth, Australia, reported the discovery of a supermassive black hole in the process of engulfing a star in a not-too-distant galaxy. With only 20 such events ever witnessed by astronomers, scientists were particularly interested to observe the faint jets of plasma that were dispersed from the black hole as the star was swallowed and torn apart.
The jets emitted energy during this event comparable to the sun's total energy output over 10 million years. What is remarkable about the event was its relative closeness, at 300 million light years, which allowed the usually unseen jets to be detected and studied.
About the National Resources Defense Council
Jordan Perzik is involved with numerous agencies throughout California that seek to protect wildlife and promote land preservation. On the national level, Jordan Perzik works with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to support legislation that affects how natural resources are used throughout the United States.
The NRDC was founded in 1970 and now has 2 million members. The organization draws on the policy expertise of more than 500 professionals, including lawyers and scientists. The NRDC focuses on a broad set of environmental issues, including mitigating risks from global warming, protecting the earth's oceans, preserving wildlife, and guarding the world's water supply. Pollution, energy, and agriculture are other areas of concern addressed by the council.
Teaching the public is an important part of the NRDC's strategy for raising awareness about environmental problems. The NRDC regularly publishes articles that detail the latest research into the issues that currently affect the environment. At any given time, the NRDC has information on its website about particular issues that need urgent attention as well as instructions for how people can help.
The Mojave Desert Land Trust
In addition to his work in the field of psychology, Jordan Perzik is heavily involved in environmental research and development. Jordan Perzik is a member of California's Mojave Desert Land Trust, an organization that works to protect and preserve the Mojave Desert.
The goals of the Mojave Desert Land Trust are centered on environmental protection, education, collaboration, and funding. The trust highlights the fact that the Mojave Desert is home to a fragile and unique ecosystem and encourages residents, visitors, and the state government to conserve local resources. The Mojave Desert Land Trust achieves its preservation goals through a variety of programs and campaigns aimed at the government as well as California residents. To engage the public, the trust has educational materials that describe the unique animals and plants that inhabit the Mojave Desert and current environmental practices that impact desert life.
The Mojave Desert Land Trust also urges people to become directly involved with its preservation efforts. Becoming a member of the trust, making a donation, volunteering, or buying merchandise are a few of the ways that people can support the trust's goals.
Scientists Document Black Hole Emissions
Jordan Perzik, a doctoral student in clinical psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute in California, also studies astronomy. A regular stargazer at local observatories and an attendee of astronomy society lectures, Jordan Perzik has made his own observations through the Carnegie Institute's Hale telescope.
Scientists have long understood that black holes consume gas and stars. Recently, scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) found that these same black holes can also expel some of that gas outward. In January of 2016, scientists at NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory documented two massive arcs of gas near the center of galaxy NGC 5195, currently merging with spiral galaxy NGC 5194.
Researchers believe that the observed arcs are the result of the black hole's expulsion of large quantities of material. Additional observation suggests that these arcs have also created a snowplow effect, in which the emitted gas collects cooler hydrogen gas from the galaxy's center. This phenomenon may be a preventive measure to mitigate the size of developing galaxies, although the quantity of material present in the NGC 5195 cloud may be large enough now to prompt the formation of new stars.
Wasting Resources with Light Pollution and How Communities Are Reacting
Having recently completed a two year clinical practicum at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Jordan Perzik works toward achieving a PhD in clinical psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Jordan Perzik also enjoys learning about environmental matters, such as light pollution.
Light pollution comes from a variety of sources, including electronic billboards, unshielded and neon lights, and projectors. Among issues derived from light pollution is wasted energy and resources. In the United States, one-third of lighting is squandered, which equates to approximately $2 billion, according to the International Dark-Sky Association. The cost consists of wasted coal and oil resources. Specifically, inefficient use of oil reserves is estimated at 30 million barrels annually. The amount creates 14.1 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), a substance that negatively impacts global warming.
Fortunately, many town and city officials have taken measures to reduce light pollution in their communities. In Ridgefield, Connecticut, regulations limiting the use of lights in school lots and the city's Parks and Recreation Center have been enforced. Savings of up to $19,000 per year is expected following the first year. Outside the United States, countries in the European Union are eliminating use of incandescent light bulbs. The change is anticipated to reduce CO2 emissions by 15 million tons per year.
Carnegie Observatories' Role in Educating the Public about Astronomy
Clinical psychology PhD candidate Jordan Perzik holds a lifelong interest in astronomy. Through the years, Jordan Perzik has maintained a relationship with Carnegie Institute for Science's Mount Wilson Observatory, a California-based observatory that is actively involved in the education of the general populace to bolster interest for astronomy.
The Carnegie Observatories are actively sustaining a public outreach program that uses different approaches to help the public know more about astronomy. Some activities focus on providing educational support and resources for elementary students in underserved communities. Observatory staff astronomers conduct school visits, with a particular focus on fifth-grade students within the Pasadena locality.
The Carnegie Observatories are also responsible for strengthening astronomy at the college level by providing advisory on current curricula.
Additionally, the institution hosts an annual free public series lecture. Initiated in 2003, the lecture series seeks to provide residents of Southern California with the most recent astronomical updates directly from practicing astronomers.
IDA Grants Dark Sky Status to Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park
An avid astronomer, Jordan Perzik has studied topics ranging from galaxies to the Orion molecular cloud complex through his involvement with the Los Angeles Astronomical Society, the Griffith Observatory, and the Mount Wilson Observatory. In addition, Jordan Perzik actively advocates for preserving the night sky as a member of the International Dark-Sky Association.
For more than 25 years, the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) has operated as a nonprofit advocacy group dedicated to protecting the night sky. The organization leads initiatives to promote ecologically friendly lighting fixtures, for example, to encourage city planners and legislators to consider as more efficient options when developing new land.
IDA also formally recognizes communities that have achieved high standards of light conservation, and it most recently designated Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park in Okeechobee, Florida, to the family of Dark Sky areas. The park is the first in the state to earn this status and the first in the country to feature a fully equipped astronomy pad to facilitate and enhance observation.
George Ellery Hale's 60-Inch Telescope
Jordan Perzik has worked as a research psychometrician for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Also an amateur astronomer, Jordan Perzik has logged more than 100 hours on the 60-inch telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory near Los Angeles.
The 60-inch telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory is the largest telescope in the world that is exclusively open for public viewing. Once called "the granddaddy of them all," this 100-year-old telescope is one of the most productive in all of history.
George Ellery Hale began work on the world's first 60-inch telescope in 1894. The massive plate glass, which is seven-and-a-half inches thick, and weighs in at 1,900 pounds, was a gift from his father. After securing funding, opticians were brought in to grind the lens into shape. It took nearly two years of constant work, as the mirror's surface needed to be perfect within a few millionths of an inch.
Despite careful precautions, the surface of the lens was scratched badly after a year and a half of work. The opticians had to begin again, grinding the lens back into the perfect shape.
The telescope faced several more setbacks while being built. It was in San Francisco during the great earthquake of 1906, and it just barely survived. Labor slowdowns delayed progress further. Despite these obstacles, the telescope became operational in 1908.
Ways to Reduce Light Pollution
Jordan Perzik, a PhD student who completed a clinical practicum at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, possesses a keen interest in night sky preservation. An International Dark-Sky Association member, Jordan Perzik supports initiatives that reduce light pollution.
Light pollution causes an array of problems including disrupting sleep patterns and ecological processes. However, light pollution can be deterred by restricting halogen lights. Also known as "Rottweiler lights," halogen lights use 500 watts to illuminate gardens, driveways, and homes. The lights are typically installed as a security measure. However, a representative from the Institution of Lighting Engineers recommends 100-watt lighting instead. The lower wattage provides increased security by lessening dark shadows and reduces a person's emission of light pollution. To further limit halogen usage, advocates can work in partnership with lighting suppliers and retailers to promote light pollution education that assists consumers in making more informed choices when purchasing outdoor lighting.
Another approach involves utilization of intelligent lighting systems. These systems, controlled by texting, e-mail, and sensors, have been used by businesses and homeowners in the past. With updated technology, the solution is now more affordable and can be integrated on a larger scale. For example, stadium operators can control lighting based on circumstances. When a match ends, operators can force the lights to turn on for safe passage by attendees as they leave the stadium. Afterwards, the vacant stadium's lights can be dimmed. In terms of personal use, the technology gives an individual the ability to turn off nearby street lamps.
Jordan Perzik Assists with the National Resource Defense Council
Jordan Perzik believes we should maintain responsible stewardship of our planet. For this reason, Jordan Perzik works with the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC) in its efforts to promote environmental legislation that protects natural resources.
The NRDC works with 500 professionals, many of them lawyers, as it campaigns to preserve water and air quality, and to make communities healthier for people all over the country. Their legal team consists of attorneys and paralegals located in many major cities, including Chicago, New York City, and Washington, DC. They also have the support of over two million activist members.
The organization has been in place since 1970, and in the last four decades they have achieved a great deal of success, including the passing of the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. The NRDC has a high level of transparency and puts most of its resources from charitable donations where it matters the most – the programs and services it provides for the benefit of the environment.
A Recent MDLT Acquisition of Whipple Mountains Wilderness Land
A Pacifica Graduate Institute student with a background in counseling, Jordan Perzik is pursuing PhD studies in clinical psychology. Jordan Perzik is a strong supporter of environmental efforts throughout Southern California and moves with the Mojave Desert Land Trust (MDLT). The nonprofit organization facilitates major land acquisitions that help preserve the Mojave Desert's cultural and ecosystem resources.
MDLT's most recent land purchase centered on 100 acres of land within the 76,000 Whipple Mountains Wilderness, which was still in private hands. This mountainous area of the desert is one of the most strikingly scenic of the Mohave, as it rises dramatically from the Colorado River.
The predominant vegetation is Sonoran thorn forest and creosote bush scrub, with plant types ranging from diverse cacti to ironwood and palo verde. Abundant wildlife calls this area home, including mule deer, coyote, and bighorn sheep. Wild burros are also common, as are jackrabbits and roadrunners. Many types of raptors nest and forage in the Whipple Mountains, from red-tailed hawks to golden eagles.
The land acquisition was characterized as reflecting a shared commitment between the MDLT and the Bureau of Land Management in ensuring the integrity of critical habitats in the California Desert.
Radioactivity Fuels the Power and Duration of Supernova Explosions
Based in Southern California, Jordan Perzik has a professional background in community counseling and is pursuing doctoral studies in clinical psychology at the Pacifica Graduate Institute. Jordan Perzik also has a longstanding fever for astronomy and has frequently observed the nighttime skies at Mount Wilson Observatory.
As reported in Astronomy Now, researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics recently discovered links between radioactivity and the power of supernova explosions. This discovery came about through observation of a faint afterglow associated with supernova SN 2012cg, which turned out to be emitting radioactive cobalt-57.
The explosion seems to have come about from the star drawing matter from a partner orbiting star, which increased its mass to a point where the carbon core ignited. This, in turn, caused a radioactive reaction and explosion that lasted for approximately three times as long as might be expected without the radioactive fuel.
The presence of radioactivity in the supernova was detected by the Hubble Space Telescope and follows along the lines of ANU predictions made only seven years ago.
Issues in Astronomy - Light Pollution
Jordan Perzik studies clinical psychology as a doctoral student with the Pacifica Graduate Institute. Jordan Perzik also cultivates a life-long interest in astronomy as a member of several astronomical organizations, including Griffith Observatory and the Los Angeles Astronomical Society.
When the ancestors of modern humans gazed up at the night sky, they saw extremely vivid images of the stars and parts of the Milky Way Galaxy. Light pollution endangers this vivid impression by rendering many stars invisible to present-day observers.
A modern problem associated with the rise of electric lights over the past century, light pollution originates from several key sources. One source, called urban sky glow, happens when aggregate light from inhabited regions obscures the stars. In fact, urban light often "trespasses," meaning the light shines in unintended places, or constitutes "clutter," meaning the light is over-bright or otherwise excessive.
People can take simple steps to reduce light pollution in their local area. For example, closing window blinds at night keeps light from escaping rooms, thus mitigating light trespass.
Four Elements of Light Pollution
As part of the International Dark Sky Association, psychology intern Jordan Perzik participates in advocacy efforts to reduce light pollution. Jordan Perzik and his fellow activists encourage the use of technologies that keep the night sky intact into the future.
Light pollution occurs when artificial nighttime lighting emanates into the night sky and interferes with natural darkness. Among other negative results, poorly contained and incorrectly focused light streams away from where it is needed and interrupts the natural rhythms of darkness and light that help to regulate ecosystems.
Dark sky advocates and scientists have divided this pollutive light into four basic components. Perhaps the most foundational is clutter, which scientists define as excessively bright and illogical groupings of light sources. Clutter can confuse the eye and make navigation difficult, while also contributing to glare.
Glare occurs when light shines directly into the eye. It resembles a more direct form of light trespass, in which illumination spreads out of its intended realm and into another person's visual space. This might not only disturb the person's peace but may cause personal property to be more visible to burglars.
The most pervasive and widely affecting form of light pollution, however, is sky glow. This cloud of light over cities can not only brighten the sky but block the Milky Way from view. Leisure astronomers must travel farther for a good view, while humans and animals alike find their circadian rhythms inhibited and their natural cycles out of sync.
Light Pollution's Potential Effects on the Human Experience
An aspiring professional in the field of psychology, Jordan Perzik resides in the Los Angeles area. Also an astronomy enthusiast, Jordan Perzik harbors concern about light pollution.
A February 2017 article in the publication Timeline discusses the reality of light pollution in Los Angeles and other major urban centers. The article begins with an anecdote about the 1994 Northbridge earthquake and subsequent blackout in the city. With the major power outage came a view of the night sky that many residents had never witnessed. Uneasy about what was described a "giant silvery cloud" over the city, multiple residents called 911. The "cloud" was the Milky Way.
In 2001, a report published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society estimated that 66 percent of the US population had lost the ability to look up at the sky and see the Milky Way due to light pollution. The Timeline article points out a number of detrimental effects of light pollution, including disruption of sea turtle breeding instincts and human circadian rhythms. Light pollution also impedes the work of astronomers.
However, the Timeline article laments the fact that light pollution affects humans on a philosophical level as well, noting that as city dwellers lose their ability to see the stars, losing long-held spiritual connections that date back to cultures such as the Mayans and the druids who built Stonehenge. They also lose a fundamental part of the human experience--the sense of how truly small they are amidst an infinite cosmos.

Michael Moore is on a mission in his new book: Regime Change. The man who slithered into the White House on tracks greased by his daddy's oil buddies is one of the many targets in Mike's blistering follow-up to his smash #1 Stupid White Men, the biggest selling nonfiction book of the year. Now no one is safe: corporate barons who have bilked millions out of their employees' lifetime savings, legislators who have stripped away our civil liberties in the name of "homeland security," and even that right-wing brother-in-law of yours (yes, we all have one) who manages, year after year, through his babbling idiocy, to ruin Thanksgiving dinner.
Fearless, funny and furious, Michael Moore's new book is the call to arms we've all been waiting for, the kind of book that comes along once every so often that rallies citizens with humor and insight, and changes the course of the country.
©2003 Dog Eat Dog Films; (P)2003 Time Warner AudioBooks
"Moore focuses on issues." (Publishers Weekly)
"As always he Mr. Moore is a one sided idiot."
His tribe grows predictable and is completely superficial. He again is a shallow cheerleader for those who cannot formulate their own thoughts and opinions. He picks on tidbits that support his points ignoring the big picture and ultimately the bigger issue. The book is quite frankly irresponsible journalism.
"Moore is as dishonest as he is obese."
Michael Moore's reasoning ability is surpassed by that of a small soap dish. His cliched diatribes are becoming as predictable as they are fatuous.
"Another liberal hate Bush book."
I don't know how garbage like this gets published!!!!!!
I'm dismayed thus guy even calls himself an American!
"Would He Please Quit Wining"
Michael Moore seems to do nonthing but complain about the election that the Democrats lost fair and square. If you disagree with the fair part you'll have to take it up with our constitution. I've had about enough of his nonsense, and this is one more book that I simply read so that I could say that I did read it. It is in his usual intelligent, but mostly boring dribble, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you want to read worthwhile books about our country read books by Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, or Bill O'Reilly.
"More Propaganda"
Please, if you read this book know that what you are reading is nothing more than hogwash and propaganda. Yes it is well written and humorous but on the same note very dangerous as many people will not see that it is nothing more than propaganda. So please if you read this book read it as nothing more than entertainment and not for anything more. As with all of Mike's creations he has been false and misleading. This of course does not vary from that. It is however entertaining.

The business objective of Axiogenesis lies in the area of pre-clinical biotechnology, specifically in the development and production of stem cell-derived cell types (e.g. cardiac & neuronal cells) and cell-based assays that enable drug development. Axiogenesis cells and assays facilitate increased drug development efficiency at lower costs, driven by 1) increased physiological relevance of screening models, resulting in reduced attrition of late stage drug candidates; and 2) partial substitution of costly and ethically questionable animal studies.
View the Axiogenesis profile in European Biotechnology (2014).
This range of products has been further developed employing groundbreaking human induced PluripotentStem cell (iPS) technology. Through licensing of the well-known "Yamanaka factors" (iPS Academia, 2010), as well as in-house specialization of human iPS technology, Axiogenesis is capturing the true promise of stem cell biology by bringing human cells & tissue to the marketplace in a scalable, reproducible and cost-effective manner.
With iPS technology it is possible to "re-program" (or de-differentiate) adult human cells (e.g., skin or blood cells) to an artificial embryonic-like state. Using proprietary technology, Axiogenesis then forward-differentiates these into pure organ-specific cells and defined tissues. The first human, organ-specific iPS cells were launched in 2012 (Cor.4U@ human cardiomyocytes), followed by human neuronal cell types (Peri.4UTM & Dopa.4UTM) in 2014 and further cardic ventricular cells (vCor.4UTM) and cardiac fibroblasts (FibroCor.4UTM) in 2015.
With the production of tissue models (e.g. cardiac, neuronal, hepatic, etc) through the proliferation and differentiation of human iPS cells, researchers can test the efficacy and potential adverse side effects of drug candidates.
Increased drug development efficiency, with the use of Axiogenesis technology, is achieved through:
- Earlier selections against drug candidates that will have high adverse side affects (e.g. toxicity, cardiac arrhythmia) or do not have a therapeutic effect.
- Early selection and fast tracking of drug candidates with high efficacy and low side effects.
- Greater translation to the clinic, reducing false-positive signals and moving more safe drugs through development.
- Partial substitution of costly animal studies.
- Reduction of the time taken for preclinical studies.
- Extension of marketing exclusivity gained through a shorter drug development cycle, resulting in a longer time from market authorization until patent protection is lost.
Furthermore the system lends itself to product line extension through rapid testing of side effect profiles and improvements in efficacy of modified compounds or through the identification of novel indications of existing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

When we go online and search for the word "Viagra" we are bombarded with information. The information is related not only to Pfizer's Viagra but also the generic version of Viagra increasingly popular for patients who prefer to take Viagra at regular intervals.
Viagra is a prescription medicine that may be too expensive for many people to buy. The US health system is such that the FDA goes out of its way to protect the consumer ---the tests, insurance and taxes for every pill launched causes the price to increase at a radical rate!
While the FDA has the patients best in mind sometimes its safeguards prove too expensive and consumers must turn to better and less expensive alternatives which, is where the Generic Viagra version of Pfizer's miracle pill comes into play.
It is a fact that the Generic Viagra available online is the same Sildenafil Citrate, that is found in Pfizer's Viagra. It helps in the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction and the difference is simply in the packaging and the price.
You can save up to 50% when you buy Generic Viagra. There are two main forms of Generic Viagra are commonly known as Caverta and Veega. These are manufactured through World Health Organization standards and are safe in terms of consumption. Caverta is usually made in Ranbaxy Laboratories renown for creating popular generic prescription medications.
Since generic Viagra is as effective as Pfizer's Viagra and available at half the cost it would be prudent to state that Generic Viagra is the best alternative for Pfizer's Viagra.
Consider these advantages:
- Generic Viagra requires no prescription
- Allows for Free online consultations
- Can be delivered worldwide
- Has Low Prices
- Satisfaction guaranteed!

Well, we've had another great start to the school year and are well into it now. "Back to School Night" gave parents a chance to see their child's classroom environment and helped kick off our Membership Drive, the first of our fundraising events for the school year.
The Membership Drive goes through now and ends on September 22nd. Please consider donating in this year's Membership Drive to help us meet our goal of raising $60,000. Every dollar of what we raise goes back to the school to help support a variety of programs, including our STEM Lab, Accelerated Reader (AR), Physical Education (PE), field trips, Early Intervention, All the Arts and Robotics programs among others. Without the Foundation's financial assistance that comes through your generous donations, these programs would not be possible. I encourage everyone to join our Foundation and see for yourself as to how the funds we raise are used, it's very exciting to see! And you'll be able view our Membership Drive progress through our fundraising thermometer at the front of the school each day.
Also, please remember that our annual Fall Festival is on Friday, October 14th. This very fun event has grown bigger and better every year and is a great way to meet your fellow Acacia community, enjoy excellent food and activities, and have a blast with your kids! We hope to see you there, it promises – as in years past – to be a LOT of fun for you and your kids.
Our kids see what we do, and how we're involved… your actions speak to them! Thank you for your efforts on behalf of the Acacia students!


text: Role of Women in Ancient GreeceBy: Cameron Vink Had virtually no political rights of any kind and were controlled by men at nearly every stage of their lives. The most important duties for a woman living in the city were to bear children, preferably male, and to run the household. The duties for a woman living in the rural areas were doing the agricultural work, such as the harvesting of olives and fruit, and also the gathering of vegetables. Since men spent most of their time away from their houses, the Greek home life was dominated by women. The wife supervised the daily running of the house. It was a totally slave based economy, so plenty of female slaves were available. A male slaves responsibilities were limited to being doorkeeper and tutor to the male children. Custom dictated that a Greek women limited her time outside the house to visiting with her nearest female neighbors. Exceptions to this were weddings, funerals, and state conventions in which women were expected to play prominent public roles.Sourceshttp://www.penn.museum/sites/greek_world/women.html

While the Eastern Freeway, constructed by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), was finally inaugurated yesterday afternoon at the hands of Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, sources from the MMRDA said the freeway would be thrown open for motorists only after 1 pm today as dismantling the pandal erected for the inauguration programme would take time.
A source said, "Labourers worked non-stop to erect the pandal. Owing to the rains, as a precautionary measure, dismantling work cannot be done in the night." Though several motorists thought they might use the freeway immediately after inauguration, the pandal constructed at the Orange Gate-end covered both the carriages of the freeway, forcing MMRDA officials to keep the freeway off-limits for motorist despite inauguration. MMRDA Joint Project Director Dilip Kawathkar said, "We have already instructed the contractor to dismantle the pandal at the earliest so that the freeway can be opened for the motorists."
What the CM said
"Mega projects such as Eastern Freeway will make Mumbai a world class city. Most importantly, the freeway is toll-free. It will not only serve Mumbaikars and change their way of commuting, but will also showcase the pathway to infrastructural growth of the state."
Asked about the delay, Chavan said, "The inauguration got delayed due to some pending work done in the adjacent tunnel." Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said the freeway was inaugurated to reduce the inconvenience experienced by motorists during monsoon. He also took potshots at the MMRDA for lack of planning while executing skywalk projects.
"The MMRDA is doing a very good job, but at the same time it should do a proper survey while implementing projects like skywalks which are receiving a lukewarm response. These days, skywalks have become a place for morning and evening walks. Pedestrians are also using them to kill time and have small meetings."

Porcelain was first used in China in the 600s, but Europeans did not unlock the mystery of manufacturing it until almost the 18th century. Porcelain is made of clay and additives that have included glass, feldspar and even bone, which is then shaped and baked at high heats. Glazes are added at the end, sometimes to make the porcelain waterproof, and sometimes to add stunning colors to the porcelain. It is the lead that was used in these glazes that represent a danger.
In the 1970s and1980s, researchers discovered that the lead used in the glazes could leach into the foods served on porcelain dishes. The FDA set standards for lead use in dinnerware, but most domestic manufacturers have stopped using lead altogether in their glazes.
How It Leaches Out
The lead used in the glazes can leach out, particularly if the food served on the dishes has a high acid content. The acid in orange juice and tomato juices, for example, seeps into the glaze and dissolves the lead. The lead mixes with the food remaining on the plate so that as you eat, you are absorbing lead.
Lead poisoning from porcelain is rare, but lead can be toxic. It is particularly dangerous to children and pregnant women. Because children are still growing, they absorb more lead, and it stays in their systems longer. High levels of lead in children can cause learning problems, behavioral difficulties and struggles with coordination.
Keeping Safe
To keep your contact with lead to a minimum, do not store food in dishes with ceramic glaze. Because hot liquids can increase leaching of lead, pregnant women in particular should avoid drinking hot beverages out of ceramic mugs. If porcelain dishes show any signs of a chalky residue, do not use. Even though they may be family heirlooms, it is better not to use antique porcelain dishes.
The Yellow Triangle
Turn over your porcelain dishes and check for the symbols on the back. If there is a yellow triangle, it means that the manufacturers have tested the product in accordance with California's Proposition 65, and it is possible that the dish will leach lead.

text: I need help from some experts. I am in the process of buying a 1-ton dually, rackbody, dump for my landscaping business. I am looking at GMC's. We will use it for towing mowers/Kubota backhoe/bucket. Also delivering loam, bark mulch, trees. Plowing and sanding in winter. 10-15,000 miles per year. My question is this....gas or diesel? I've priced out both and the Diesel is about $7,000 more. If I go this route, I'd like to know that I will make out better in the long run. What do you think? Thanks in advance for any help.

Mrs. Berrisford
Friday April 4th, 2014: Conflict Chapters 6-13
The main conflict in the story so far is that Leonard is missing!
"That was a good night for us. For all of us. And I'm glad I have it as a memory to look back on, because a week later everything changed." (pg. 143) "As he jotted down the information about Leonard into a long-book."
Ellen Phoebe's mom is involved because she is the aunt and guardian of Leonard's. Phoebe is involved because she knows most of the things that Leonard does and who he hangs out with. Everyone that goes to the salon is involved by being the "possible suspects."
I think that this conflict could be resolved by getting everyone in the town/neighborhood to help look for him. Also the sheriff's department can get more officers out there and ask questions and not the same one all the time. Another way is that everyone could just relax and wait because eventually Leonard could return.
Ways that I would deal with this is by making missing person posters and post them all around town. I would personally go and ask everyone myself. I would also hire private detectives if I had the money at that time. I would also just wait a few days, if they don't show up then I would tell the news stations.
So far I think that this book is good. It has new things happening in it every chapter. It is very interesting now especially since Leonard is missing.

SEVEN COURSES has several angles working in her favor as she makes the important third start of the form cycle, adds blinkers, and has never raced this cheaply. She hasn't shown much early speed in her career, but the blinkers may enhance whatever zip she owns, and her trainer is winning at a strong 24% clip for the meet. Seven Courses earned a competitive Beyer Speed Figure vs. Illinois-bred maiden special weights as a juvenile, and may offer some value in this spot.
MISS BULLY is the logical choice following a runner-up effort at this level, and she may attempt to shake loose once again from her inside post. There are some stamina issues for her to address as she has never gained ground from the stretch call to the wire, and lost 10 lengths in the stretch of her only other try at this distance. MY PAL SUE faced a runaway winner in her first start at this level, and she should improve adding Lasix for her second start of the form cycle. She draws a wide post, but has enough speed to find a good forward spot tracking the leader from the outside. WALKIN ON T MOON doesn't have much speed, but has a smidgen of a late kick, and would benefit if Miss Bully and My Pal Sue hook up a spirited speed duel.
MELODIC ESCAPADE takes a big drop in class while adding Lasix.
The Selection: Seven Course to win and place (5-1 odds or more)

John Goodman talks sports, HBO series
NEW ORLEANS -- Early in college, John Goodman chose to abandon his goal of joining Southwest Missouri State's football team. His decision proved to be one of the best he ever made.
Shortly after, Goodman became involved with the university's theater department and began shaping an acting career that includes a Golden Globe award and two People's Choice honors. The longtime "Roseanne" star lives in the New Orleans area and has shifted his football passion to the Super Bowl champion Saints. He will play an English professor in the HBO series "Treme," a drama created by David Simon and Eric Overmyer and scheduled to premiere April 11. The series will depict post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans through the eyes of residents trying to remake their lives.
Goodman spoke with Page 2 about "Treme," life in New Orleans during the Saints' Super Bowl run, his short football career and the city's continuing recovery.
Since you live in the New Orleans area, what does it mean to be involved with a project like "Treme"?
Some of my feelings coincide with my characters -- angry rage, impotent rage. Five years later, it's still hard to imagine the stupidity that went into [the Hurricane Katrina aftermath]. David Simon and Eric Overmyer love this area. They love the culture. They love the music. They want to do something positive because the city has been run down and kicked around a lot, and now it's starting to turn around. It's good to see.
What was it like experiencing the Saints' Super Bowl run?
It started during the season. There was something going on. Each week, the local television stations built it up. It was just a crazy confidence. They were always a fourth-quarter team. That's kind of a tradition. You knew they would pull it out some way or another. It was just amazing, and the party kept going. The good part of the party is that [Drew] Brees has taken the city on his shoulders and has done amazing work in the community -- [coach] Sean Payton as well. I just think that reflects on them and the team. It makes the NFL look good. But I think it's a testament to those guys. Brees was on a second chance from San Diego. He made the best of it. That's what sports is supposed to do. It's an inspiration. It really is. He picked it up and ran with it. Just through sheer determination and guts, he carried the city out of a bad time.
Why do you think fans' passion is different in New Orleans?
It's a sporting town. It always has been. In the old days, they rigged semi-illegal heavyweight fights here. There's always fishing, cockfighting, gambling, anything you can bet on. They're sporting people. They come from all over the Gulf Coast to see this underdog franchise. It wasn't pretty for a long time. I didn't grow up here. I grew up in St. Louis. The [NFL's St. Louis Cardinals] left town, so I shifted allegiances. I didn't go with the Rams. I dig the Saints. It's unbelievable. This city would blindly root for them anyway. It's a huge NFL city, whether the NFL knows it or not. Fans get what it is supposed to be about down here. This is what professional football franchises and their communities are supposed to be like. It means a lot to this city. Going to the Super Bowl was just insane good.
You played a short football career. What was it like?
I played high school ball. We won one game in four years. I went down to Southwest Missouri State [now Missouri State] to try to walk on to the football team. My grades were so bad. I would have had to wait another year. By that time, I had found the miracle of women in the theater department.
How would you describe New Orleans' progress?
There are kids starting to come back. Smart kids. There is nothing like this city anywhere in the United States. It's different. There are artistic miracles that happen every day down here. It's really going to be something. These smart kids are going to be leading tomorrow.
