Georgia has a chance to post its best start to a season in 94 years ahead of its home meeting with South Carolina State in Athens, Ga., on Sunday. Georgia (11-1) hasn't appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 10 seasons and hasn't won a tournament game since 2002, but the Bulldogs seem primed to make a return. The Bulldogs have won six straight games and a seventh would mark their best start since beginning 13-0 in the 1930-31 campaign. Georgia hasn't played since a Dec. 22 home win over Charleston Southern. Head coach Mike White knows the intensity of the schedule will soon increase as Southeastern Conference play revs up, but that's not to say his team will overlook its next opponent. "We've had a much-needed break, both mentally and physically," White said. "Our guys need to get away from it a little bit, miss it, then come back rejuvenated for one more tune up for the grind of the SEC -- the best league in the country. But we'll be prepared for South Carolina State. They're dangerous, they play really hard, they've been really competitive. They're another good team." Adding to Georgia's success has been the play of De'Shayne Montgomery. After being academically ineligible for the first 10 games of the season, the Mount St. Mary's transfer has averaged 19 points per game in two contests. Asa Newell follows with 15.8 points in 12 games, while fellow Mount St. Mary's transfer Dakota Leffew chips in 12.9. South Carolina State (6-8) will play its fourth road game of a six-game stretch away from home. The other Bulldogs prepare for their final regular season meeting with a power conference team following losses at South Carolina Upstate and Xavier. South Carolina State faces Morgan State on Jan. 4 to start Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play. Led by third-year head coach Erik Martin, the team boasts a rare roster figure in today's college basketball landscape. "We brought back 90 percent of our returnable student athletes this year," Martin said. "I can pretty much guarantee I'm the only person in America that did that." Sophomore Drayton Jones leads the team with 13 points per game, followed by Omar Croskey's 9.4. Georgia is 2-0 all-time against South Carolina State, last earning a 76-60 win in Nov. 2021. --Field Level MediaIs a Sewage Pump The Same As a Sump Pump? What Type Of Pump Is Best For Raw Sewage? 12-11-2024 09:08 PM CET | Associations & Organizations Press release from: ABNewswire Is a Sewage Pump The Same As a Sump Pump? A sewage pump [ https://www.tkflopumps.com/submersible-sewage-waste-water-submerged-pump-product/]and an industrial sump pump [ https://www.tkflopumps.com/products/ ] are not the same, although they serve similar purposes in managing water. Here are the key differences: Function: Sump Pump: Primarily used to remove water that accumulates in a sump basin, typically in basements or crawl spaces. It handles clean or slightly dirty water, such as groundwater or rainwater. Sewage Water Pump [ https://www.tkflopumps.com/sdh-and-sdv-series-vertical-horizontal-dry-sewage-water-pump-product/]: Designed to handle wastewater that contains solids and sewage. It is used in situations where wastewater needs to be pumped from a lower level to a higher level, such as from a basement bathroom to the main sewer line. Design: Sump Pump: Generally has a simpler design and is not built to handle solids. It typically has a smaller motor and is more compact. Sewage Pump: Built with a more robust design to handle solids and debris. It often has a larger motor and features like a grinder or impeller to break down solids. Applications: Sump Pump: Used in residential settings to prevent flooding and manage groundwater. Sewage Pump: Used in both residential and commercial settings, particularly in areas where gravity drainage is not possible, such as in basements with bathrooms. In summary, while both pumps are used for water management, they are designed for different types of water and applications. Can You Use a Sewage Pump In Place Of a Sump Pump Yes, you can use a sewage pump in place of a sump pump, but there are important considerations to keep in mind: Type of Water: Sewage pumps are designed to handle wastewater that contains solids and debris, while sump pumps are typically used for clean or slightly dirty water. If you are dealing with clean water (like groundwater or rainwater), a sump pump is more appropriate. Efficiency: Using a sewage pump for clean water may not be as efficient as using a sump pump, as sewage pumps are built to handle more challenging conditions. They may not operate as effectively or efficiently for the purpose of removing clean water. Cost: Sewage pumps are generally more expensive than sump pumps due to their more robust design and capabilities. If you only need to manage groundwater or rainwater, a sump pump would be a more cost-effective solution. Installation and Maintenance: Ensure that the installation requirements and maintenance needs of a sewage pump align with your specific application. Sewage pumps may require more maintenance due to the nature of the wastewater they handle. Sdh And Sdv Series Vertical Horizontal Dry Sewage Water Pump [ https://www.tkflopumps.com/sdh-and-sdv-series-vertical-horizontal-dry-sewage-water-pump-product/ ] Capacity : 10-4000m/h Head : 3-65m Liquid condition a. Medium temperature: 20~80 b. Medium density 1200kg/mc. PH value of the medium in cast-iron material within 5-9.d. Both pump and motor are integrally structured, the ambient temperature in the place where it works is not allowed over 40 , the RH not over 95%.e. The pump must work within the set head range in general so as to ensure the motor not to be overloaded. Make a note at order if it works in a low head state so as for this company to take a reasonable model selection.

SDH and SDV series pump has a good hydraulic performance and a flat power curve and, by testing, each of its performance index reaches the related standard. The product is greatly favoured and evaluated by the users since its being put into the market and evaluated by the users since its being put into the market for its unique efficiency and reliable performance and quality. Can a Sump Pump Pump Vertically? Yes, a sump pump can pump water vertically. In fact, many sump pumps are designed to move water from a lower level, such as a basement, to a higher level, such as outside the home or into a drainage system. The vertical pumping capability depends on the pump's design, power, and specifications. When selecting a sump pump, it's important to consider the vertical lift (the height the pump needs to move water) and the pump's capacity to handle that lift effectively. Some pumps are better suited for higher vertical lifts than others, so checking the manufacturer's specifications is crucial to ensure the pump can meet your needs. Can You Use a Submersible Pump As a Sump Pump? Yes, you can use a submersible pump as a sump pump. In fact, many sump pumps are submersible pumps designed specifically for this purpose. Submersible pumps are designed to be submerged in water, making them ideal for removing water from basements, crawl spaces, or other areas prone to flooding. What Type Of Pump Is Best For Raw Sewage? The best type of pump for raw sewage is a sewage pump. Here are some key features and considerations for selecting a sewage pump: Design: Sewage pumps are specifically designed to handle wastewater that contains solids, debris, and other materials. They typically have a larger impeller and a more robust construction to manage the challenges of pumping raw sewage. Grinder Pumps: In some cases, especially when dealing with larger solids, a grinder pump may be the best option. Grinder pumps have a built-in grinder that shreds solids into smaller pieces, making it easier to pump them through pipes. Submersible vs. Non-Submersible: Sewage pumps can be either submersible (designed to be submerged in the sewage) or non-submersible (installed above the sewage level). Submersible pumps are often preferred for residential applications because they are quieter and more efficient. Flow Rate and Head Pressure: When selecting a sewage pump, consider the required flow rate (how much sewage needs to be pumped) and the head pressure (the vertical distance the sewage needs to be lifted). Make sure the pump you choose can handle the specific requirements of your system. Durability and Material: Look for pumps made from durable materials that can withstand corrosive environments, as raw sewage can be harsh on equipment.

Is 50 the new 30? Or is 80 the new 60? If you’re Bryan Johnson’s penis, 47 is the new 18. The Californian tech millionaire’s quest to defy ageing has so far cost more than $US4 million and led him to swallow 111 pills every day, have dinner at 11am, practise his daily Kegels, undergo medical procedures including human growth hormone therapy, testosterone therapy, light therapy and blood transfusions, and sleep with “ a tiny jetpack attached to his penis ” to monitor his nighttime erections. His return on investment has given him, he says, the bones of a 30-year-old, the heart of a 37-year-old and “the erection of an 18-year-old”, whatever that means. Johnson’s obsession is emblematic of a broader interest in biological age: the heath metric du jour for those chasing the fountain of youth. Turning back the biological clock? Bryan Johnson. Credit: Bloomberg Businessweek “It’s a number that we all can relate to,” says nutritionist and exercise scientist Amelia Phillips, whose programs focus on healthy ageing. “And so if you are being told that you’re biologically younger or the opposite, it has quite a strong emotional response.” We all know people who appear and act younger or older than their years. But, what does biological age really mean? How is it measured? To what extent can it be reversed? And what can it really tell us about the state of our bodies and our health? What is biological age, and how is it measured? While chronological age measures how long we’ve been alive, biological age refers to the accumulated damage to various cells that results from genetics, lifestyle, nutrition and the presence of diseases or medical conditions. Its definition remains vague : “Biological age is a concept used loosely and with little objectivity to describe a shortfall between a population cohort average life expectancy and the perceived life expectancy of an individual of the same age.” In other words, the idea is based on averages across certain populations at certain ages, not on accurately assessing individuals. Also, there is no universal way of measuring it. There are different tests using different metrics – including inflammation, DNA methylation to assess epigenetic changes, online calculators or markers of BMI or cholesterol – to calculate our so-called biological age. Depending on the test and how it is interpreted, you could be given an entirely different age each time. And only looking at one or two metrics gives a limited snapshot of our overall health, says molecular biologist Dr Tina Bianco-Miotto, of the University of Adelaide. Biological age refers to the accumulated damage to various cells that results from genetics, lifestyle, nutrition and the presence of diseases or medical conditions. Credit: Marija Ercegovac For instance, if you take a test that only measures markers of inflammation, which are associated with ageing, it doesn’t take into consideration your lifestyle, genetics, family history, environment or other factors that can also contribute to your health and ageing at a cellular level. “What if you’ve decreased your inflammation but increased your oxidative stress?” asks Bianco-Miotto. “When you’re only testing one component, you get an unfair picture.” And, says Phillips, the tests don’t differentiate between inflammation from an infection or chronic inflammation, which lingers for months or years and can cause collateral damage to organs and tissues throughout the body resulting in premature ageing and, potentially, a range of illness. Another concern is the lack of transparency about how companies are making their calculations, says Dr Carissa Bonner, a behavioural scientist at the University of Sydney, who calls them “black box algorithms”. Given “we’re nowhere near” personalised nutrition, Bianco-Miotto wonders how companies claim they can predict your biological age (and the best diet for your body) based on your DNA. “If it’s a company looking to make money from follow-up services, they have an incentive for you to think you have a health problem,” Bonner says. “You also need to be careful about who owns the data you provide to these companies and where your personal health information might end up. Read the fine print.” What can biological age tell us? Professor Luigi Fontana, scientific director of the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre, says the various tests currently on the market are not accurate. However, he adds that in the next five or 10 years, they may be. So, is there any benefit to getting your biological age tested? It depends. “It’s that kind of snapshot in time, and it is a peek under the hood, but it is an important piece of a broader puzzle,” says Phillips. “It really becomes helpful if you are tracking over time where it’s like, ‘I’ve gone and made these couple of lifestyle tweaks, and I’ve retested, and I can see those markers have normalised.’” Having feedback that reinforces positive lifestyle changes can be highly motivating, Phillips says. “I guess it can create consistency and adherence to programs because they’re seeing that these small changes are actually making a difference.” Bianco-Miotto agrees that if it motivates behaviour change, there is some value, though there is little evidence that these tests do that. And although many decisions in our lives are dictated by chronological age, including fertility and when we have important health checks, the science is not yet there to personalise these based on biological age. “Although some people may want to be younger, there is no changing how old we actually are,” Bonner says. “The short answer is your chronological age is probably a more reliable indicator of health risks than current measures of biological age.” She adds that there is interesting research emerging in biological ageing, by measuring telomere length, for instance, but the technology is not quite there yet. “You don’t really need an expensive test to tell you whether your lifestyle is healthy or not, and tests to assess your risk of specific diseases based on blood markers should be guided by a health professional,” Bonner says. “So the best place to start is your GP.” ‘Although some people may want to be younger, there is no changing how old we actually are.’ Can we slow, or reverse, our biological age? Fontana says there is no doubt we can slow down biological ageing. But it’s by doing things much less exciting than jetpacks, transfusions or experimental therapies – it’s by exercising regularly (a mix of training strength, speed, stability and aerobic efficiency ), quitting smoking, focusing on cultivating and maintaining quality relationships, drinking less, prioritising sleep, having sex, managing stress and exposure to the sun, as well as eating a little less and consuming a Mediterranean-style diet of mostly plants, good fats and minimally processed foods. By changing our behaviour, we can alter the activity of our genes. For instance, people who smoke have lower DNA methylation levels (where a chemical group is added to the DNA, changing the gene’s behaviour) in certain genes than non-smokers. By quitting smoking, the changes ultimately reverse . Biological ageing can be slowed down, mainly by committing to healthy habits. Credit: iStock Longevity researchers are working on reversing age at a biological level, by tinkering with gene expression, but it remains fraught with issues. Some experts believe that if and when they fine-tune the approach it will more likely be used to treat certain health problems, rather than turning back time in our whole body. As for Bryan Johnston, Bianco-Miotto reminds that genetics is at play as much as his behaviours: “If 100 people did exactly what he did, we wouldn’t all get the same answers.” A good life is as important as the youthful life, she adds. “If you want to spend all day, every day focused on that aspect of ageing and restricting what you eat and exercising, you probably would be considered younger, but it wouldn’t be sustainable for the majority of us.” And, there is no scientific evidence so far that we can reverse biological age, Fontana says: “It’s a marketing strategy.” Johnson, he suggests, has an ego as sizeable as his bank account, and his outlandish and highly publicised pursuit has been a “very well-crafted strategy to sell something”. Indeed, this year Johnson announced he was launching “the most nutritious program in history”. For US$121 ($182) you can buy a pack of Blueprint “Super Veggie ready-to-mix spread”, which contains carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and some mixed mushrooms and cocoa powder. Or for US$92 you can buy a couple of bottles of extra virgin olive oil. It might not reverse your age, but it could well set your savings back several years.

Some elite US universities favor wealthy students in admissions decisions, lawsuit allegesDonald Hand Jr. racked up a career-high 29 points and 10 rebounds to help Boston College stave off visiting Fairleigh Dickinson 78-70 on Saturday in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Chad Venning added 18 points on 8-for-10 shooting and Dion Brown contributed eight points, eight rebounds and four assists as the Eagles (8-5) wrapped up their nonconference slate with just their second win in six games. Ahmed Barba-Bey, a grad transfer from Division II, exploded for a season-high 31 points to power FDU (4-11). Barba-Bey buried 8 of 9 attempts from the 3-point arc. Terrence Brown added 15 of his 20 points in the second half, as the Knights made it close before falling to 0-10 on the road this season. Bismark Nsiah scored 10 points. Boston College led 70-59 with 3:39 to play when Barba-Bey was fouled attempting a corner 3. He made all three of his foul shots, and after a stop Brown got to the bucket to cut FDU's deficit to six. It was 72-67 when Venning made a clutch turnaround jumper from the high post with 51 seconds left. Boston College let Barba-Bey get loose for his eighth 3-pointer, pulling FDU within four, its closest margin of the half. But Hand drove to the basket and scored with 29 seconds on the clock, and FDU was out of time. The Knights trailed by as many as 12 in the first half, but Barba-Bey kept them in the game. He made a fastbreak layup off Brown's steal and added a 3-pointer on the next possession, turning what was a 10-point deficit to a manageable 29-24 game. Boston College led 38-28 at halftime, with Hand scoring 15 for the hosts and Barba-Bey pouring in 16 for the Knights, including 4-of-5 shooting from deep. FDU pulled within nine points three times in the early stages of the second half, the third coming when Nsiah knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 56-47 with about 10 minutes to go. --Field Level Media
Nine student organisations have called on authorities to reject a US request to extradite a young man wanted on charges of selling illegal malware on the dark web. In a statement on Saturday, the European Law Students’ Association (ELSA) Malta and eight other organisations expressed their “unequivocal opposition” to the extradition of Meli to the US while “strongly urging” Maltese authorities to reject the request. Calling the case “not merely a matter of nationality... [but] a matter of sovereignty,” the association said authorities in Malta should “assert Malta’s sovereign right to adjudicate offences committed within its jurisdiction.” “The alleged crime was committed within Maltese territory, and it is therefore the Maltese courts that must determine Mr. Meli’s guilt or innocence”, the statement read. Daniel Joe Meli, a 28-year-old check-in agent is being sought by the US authorities for his alleged illegal dealings on the dark web between December 2012 and June 2022. He is currently undergoing extradition proceedings in Malta. If extradited, he will be sent to the US to face charges and serve time – if found guilty. The , posted to Facebook by ELSA Malta and endorsed by eight other student organisations, said Meli’s extradition “raises serious concerns regarding his fundamental rights.” The student organisations said there was “substantial risk” of Meli facing “inhuman or degrading treatment and harsh conditions” and “disproportionately severe penalties inconsistent with Malta’s commitment to justice and human dignity.” The student organisations insisted that should Meli be found guilty, any subsequent sentence “must be served in Malta, ensuring accountability and respect for the territorial scope of our judicial system.” They called on the judiciary "to remain steadfast in its commitment to sovereignty, justice, and the rule of law” while stressing it "imperative the Maltese state asserts its sovereignty”. The statement was endorsed by the Malta Law Students' Society (GħSL), Pulse, Studenti Ħarsien Soċjali (SĦS), European Studies Organisation (ESO), International Students Organisation (ISA), Society for Architecture & Civil Engineering Students (SACES), Betapsi Malta and Vuċi Kollettiva. Student representatives Kris Bajada (UOM Council), Ella Micallef Darmenia (Faculty of Laws) and Thea Sultana (Faculty of Arts) also endorsed the statement. Earlier this month, Meli’s parents a parliamentary petition – linked to in the ELSA Malta Facebook post – calling for legal changes to ensure that crimes committed on Maltese soil are tried in Malta. While Meli originally agreed to be extradited to the US, he later retracted his consent after hiring new lawyers who argued that the magistrates’ court had not verified whether he was medically fit and capable of understanding his decision. In an with in August, Meli’s parents said the young man had not been given his usual medication to treat his anxiety and arthritis, adding to the “immense pressure” he felt to make a decision on his extradition within just 15 minutes. An appeal against Meli's extradition was dismissed, followed by constitutional proceedings. Meli lost the constitutional case in July and was held in custody pending his extradition. But in August the government announced it was drafting legislation that would allow him to contest his extradition once more while introducing safeguards allowing a wanted person “adequate time” to decide on extradition requests. It also allows anyone awaiting extradition from Malta, who had previously consented, to apply before the Court of Criminal Appeal to reconsider their willingness to be extradited.

Source: Legit.ngTouchless trash cans are one of the latest innovations in automated kitchen technology. They use infrared motion sensors to automatically lift the lid, allowing users to dispose of trash without touching the can. This hands-free operation makes them not only efficient and easy to use but also improves kitchen hygiene as it helps reduce contact with germs, bacteria and parasites that are often found in household waste. Choosing the ideal touchless trash can for your home will depend on several factors, from the number of people in your household to the shape, size and material that best suits your decor. As with regular trash cans, there are many different shapes and styles available. The most common shapes are round, oval, square or rectangular. While shape can play a factor in determining which trash can to get, it is more important to find the right size trash can for your space. A 13-gallon trash can is standard for a kitchen. However, a smaller 5- to 10-gallon option would be better if you want to place it in a cabinet. For large families that generate a lot of waste, a larger 20 to 30-gallon trash can may be preferable. The most common materials are either metal or plastic. While plastic is certainly the cheaper option, metal trash cans are more durable. A stainless steel trash can is a good option, as it will match kitchen appliances and won’t rust or tarnish with time. However, metal trash cans are more pricey, retailing between $100 and $200, depending on their size and features. There are only two choices when it comes to a power source: battery or mains. A mains-powered trash can requires a permanent power source, restricting its location options. Battery-powered trash cans can be placed wherever you like and are particularly suitable for bathrooms. Look for a model that gives a warning when the batteries need replacing to avoid any inconvenience. The features of a trash can significantly impact the price, so it is important to decide which features you would like. Some trash cans have carbon filters that absorb unpleasant odors; however, remember that the filters must be replaced periodically. Other trash cans may feature a locking mechanism, which is handy if you have pets or small children because the lid will remain closed even if it’s knocked over. simplehuman 45 Liter / 12 Gallon Semi-Round Automatic Sensor Trash Can What you need to know: An elegant-looking option available in a range of metallic and colored finishes.
