![]() ![]() Higher-capacity backups will cost more than lower-capacity backups. If your neighborhood has frequent power outages, you will need a backup that can charge quickly with enough power to drain the water and moisture quickly. It should meet your home’s or business’s requirements. For example, Tramco and Aquanot ® systems are known for their quality and performance and therefore priced accordingly. The backup system’s brand and model will influence the installation cost as well. A plastic system typically won’t hold up well under pressure. Plastic systems are available for those who don’t expect the backup to be used often (which rules out many homes and businesses in Oswego, Yorkville, Naperville, Aurora and Plainfield). A stainless steel system is similarly known for its corrosion resistance. A cast-iron backup system can withstand the demands caused by severe weather. ![]() A proper battery backup sump pump should be made of durable materials so it can do its work under strain and have a longer lifespan.

With an AGM battery backup, you will choose from a deep-cycle, marine, maintenance-free or wet-cell battery. ![]() A solar-powered battery will require outside solar panels that are close to the battery. You will typically have two options: a solar battery or an AGM (absorbent glass mat) battery. The cost to install a battery backup sump pump is determined by a few different factors such as the following.īattery type. How Much Does a Battery Backup Sump Pump Installation Cost? With today’s technology, smart sump pump battery backups can even send notices to a phone or other ring system to let you know that the backup system has taken over for the main one. They also will usually have a pump-failure alarm and a stuck–float switch warning. If activated, most systems will issue a loud alarm to alert you that the sump system has switched to battery power. A battery backup will also support the main sump pump if the water infiltration is too much for the main pump to handle. The battery backup detects that the main pump is off and turns itself on to continue pumping water away from the home or business. If the power goes out during a severe thunderstorm, the main sump pump will not operate. The battery backup sump pump is equally important to preventing water intrusion. However, complete protection depends on another component as well. This system is highly effective in guarding you from excess water. The water is pumped out sufficiently far outside, and a one-way check valve prevents it from flowing back into the sump pit. It achieves this with the law of centrifuge, which moves the water to the sides of the pipe and leaves a low-pressure area in the center of it. When the water in the sump pit reaches a certain level, it will activate the sump pump to turn on and redirect the water away through a pipe. The sump remains quiet and on standby until water starts to collect in the foundation and fill the sump pit. A sump pump protects you from the intrusion of water, which in addition to rain might flow in from overflowing gutters or a backup such as an overflowing washing machine.īecause water flows downhill, the sump pump is installed in a sump pit (basin) at the lowest point of the home or business, which may be the basement or a crawl space. ![]()

![]() ![]() If I have to use it, I do so like the hunchback ML variant: drop the heavy weapons for MLs and armour, alpha strike then run on alternate turns: if you can get all those ML in optimal firing range for a called shot and back it up with Melee bonuses then it can be an effective disabler. I've always struggled with the Black Knight, I find that, unless I've fluked one very early on, there are always better alternatives available. Once you've overcome the minimum range nerf through pilot skill it can be pretty deadly. Initially I also carried an LRM5 for harrassing purposes as I closed but this is just a waste of tonnage, so use a fire support mech whilst making your approach (I prefer Rain'o'Death by Archer Brand, but other varieties are available from your retailer). ![]() I have run an effective brawler version (the "Toffeehammer") sporting 2 snub PPC's, 2xML, 2xSL (again, the more +++ the better). I find that the MAD is much better for headshot sniping anyway, so use the Warhammer as a general assault unit to keep up a medium range pounding. I always swap out the PPCs for LL,s the +++ the better, as the capacitors negates the drop in damage and the reduced weight and heat is vital - if you can get a heat exchanger definitely add it too for constant firing ability. ![]() Love the Warhammer because of its history, but it's a tricky beast to use well. And the AI often made it a priority target. Or, to be more precise, force some opponents either to spend another turn closing the distance or take a shot with a significantly lower change to hit.Įven with just those three weapons, that Warhammer had an alpha strike around 250. Plus the Warhammer is fast enough to keep moving back in order to maintain its range advantage. The L Lasers and SPPC can also hit at long range, which often meant that I could shoot at a some targets (Hunchback) that were carrying short range weapons (M Laser, AC/20) without having to worry about any return fire. I wanted a Mech that could hang out on the front lines (max armour) and alpha strike turn after turn on all but the hottest biomes. More lasers on it would make it run too hot. Three weapons doesn’t seam like a lot, but it got the job done. That simple build carried me through the mid game. 40K Fans are Coming Over to Battletech Should we be Worried 19,680 views With Games Workshop doing the big dumb recently, a lot of Warhammer 40,000 fans are making the switch. I’m also a big fan of heat banks since they only weigh one ton and can-if you get the ++ version-can raise the heat threshold significantly, which allows you too get in one or two extra alpha stiles before things get too hot. Heat exchangers are really good on any energy weapon based Mech-whenever the alpha strike generates more than 60 heat. All were plus damage variants, and the Optimized Capacitors boosted that damage even higher.Īfter maxing out the armour, the rest of the build was all about heat management. In my last play through, I used a Warhammer with two Large Lasers (arm mounted) and a Snub-nose PPC in the torso. ![]() ![]() ![]() Doors, windshield wipers, headlights, racing lights, racing equipment and control devices such as ABS, traction control, engine ignition and ECU mapping, are all under the driver’s management to assure the best performance and offer the player total control of the car.

Those comparisons are misleading and false. Republicans have conflated the criminal investigation division’s armed agents with the unarmed IRS auditors who go over financial filings for the federal tax collector. The division has come under increased scrutiny in recent months, particularly when Congress was debating the Inflation Reduction Act, which gives the IRS $80 billion in additional funding. “As a division,” Lee said, “we are nimble and able to shift quickly.” Lee said the increase in money identified, and the changing nature of how crimes are perpetrated, have posed a challenge to the little-understood agency within Treasury. The task force targets Russian oligarchs and others who evade sanctions. It has opened 20 investigations of sanctioned people since it joined the Justice Department-led task force Kleptocapture in March. The division’s annual report sheds light on how it has added new responsibilities - like investigating sanctioned Russian oligarchs - to its priorities as Russia wages war on Ukraine. And the amount of money seized in stolen cryptocurrency - more than $7 billion - doubled from the previous year, he said. Jim Lee, chief of IRS Criminal Investigation, said that’s a “huge” amount - three times what was identified in the previous year. z o.o.īundle ID: (AP) - The crime-fighting arm of the IRS, which tracks financial crimes and hunts down pricey properties of sanctioned Russian elites, identified more than $32 billion in funds during the past fiscal year for eventual seizure, the agency reported Thursday.

I am not going to touch on the more unsavory aspects of Rule 34 because I’ve already built up a lengthy and disturbing search history on my computer just for this article. Sometimes you don’t have to look very hard, but it serves a specific audience and if it’s not for you, it can add a little shock value to your internet experience. The good thing about all Rule 34 and NSFW fanart is that it is only there if you look for it. ![]() Recently, Splatoon 2hosted one of their themed Splatfests, which this time happened to be “Ketchup versus Mayo.” The ink used in this battle was switched to the colors of the indicated condiments and produced some hilarious reactions from around the internet… for obvious reasons. Sometimes even screenshots of the game just need an added caption to qualify as NSFW. Splatoon fanart and Rule 34 requires very little manipulation of the original content to create some highly questionable material. So, when Nintendo announced Splatoon, the internet immediately imploded at the perceived fanservice from the kid-friendly game studio. One form of animated pornographic material involves tentacles, and if you don’t know what I’m referring to then you probably shouldn’t go look it up. On the other end of the spectrum of Rule 34 are games that inspire fanart for more practical reasons. offers safe-for-work versions of the fanart on social media and saves the NSFW for patrons through Patreon. ![]() Some artists, like the incredibly talented maintain large communities of fans that can contribute to a Patreon to help support the artists’ work. This level of detail allows players to grow an affinity for the characters that can serve as an inspiration for their art. Each of these playable characters have relationships tied to the Overwatch story and universe, with specific voice lines that reference either their love, animosity, or indifference to their teammates. Blizzard also releases a steady stream of new skins and events that inspire a consistent flow of new fanart. Overwatch features robots, a hyper-intelligent gorilla, characters of various sexual orientations and national origins, and unlimited possibilities for future additions to the roster. While you can still find Rule 34 of characters from Call of Duty, it is often NPCs from the main campaign or just images of a typical soldier, and the selection is far more limited. ![]() None of the playable characters in Call of Duty are visually distinctive from another. In contrast, games like Call of Duty feature generic soldiers with little or no personality. Every person can find at least one Overwatch character that they relate to on a more than superficial level. This trend can be attributed partially to the fact that Overwatch features a cast of distinctive characters, each with their own style and detailed backstory. There was even Overwatch Rule 34 before the Overwatch Beta was released and Blizzard had just teased the character art. Despite the fact that Overwatch and Call of Duty are both multiplayer first-person shooters, there is a far more limited selection of Call of Duty fanart than that of Overwatch. Overwatch is an excellent example of this phenomenon. Rule 34 has saturated the internet, but anyone familiar with it would recognize that far more Rule 34 exists of some characters than others. This has resulted in the discovery of Rule 34 versions of Alan Moore, airplanes, Space Jam, Wolverine, Dragon Ball Z, and Legos. Rule 34 is so limitless that each week Funhaus ends their YouTube series, Demo Disk, by searching for Rule 34 of everything they talked about during the show. Those of you who are well aware of the depths of the internet know that Rule 34 is this: “If it exists, there is porn of it.” You can find sexy fanart of just about anything or anyone, if you are brave enough, with a quick Google search. But why is there so much of it? For starters, those of you who don’t know what Rule 34 is and would like for your innocent minds not to be spoiled, turn away now. If you’ve been on Reddit, or especially if you’ve been on Tumblr, then you’ve seen some Overwatch Rule 34. If you’ve been on the internet you’ve probably seen some Overwatch fanart. ![]() ![]() ![]() Test Equipment Center is an approved supplier of New & Reconditioned Test Equipment to manufacturing, industrial service, military, governmental, and educational organizations worldwide.

So how did Alexander's group reach Siwa? Apparently, it was not easy. *Camyses was a Persian king of the 6th century BCE, whose army was allegedly wiped out by a sandstorm on their march to Siwah. The second arises if a strong south wind should overtake the traveller as he is crossing the vast expanse of deep, soft sand, as is said to have happened to the army of Camyses* long ago: the wind raised great billows of sand and blew them across the plain so that 50,000 men were swallowed up and perished" (309). The first was the lack of water, of which there was none to be found along the route for many days' march. ![]() "This was a long and arduous journey, which was beset by two especial dangers. Here is Plutarch's description, from The Life of Alexander: It's regarded as strange for a couple of reasons: (1) it represents one of the few times Alexander seemed to make a detour to a place with no obvious strategic significance to his campaign, and (2) a variety of supernatural legends and rumors came out of the trip that continue to puzzle historians today.Īlexander's path to Siwah was quite dangerous. According to Oxford historian Robin Lane Fox, this trip represented the "strangest strand in Alexander's life and legend" ( Alexander the Great, 201). In 331 BCE, after successfully reaching Egypt and "liberating" its people from Persian rule, Alexander and a small group of followers embarked on his own desert excursion to speak to the famous oracle. It was widely believed by that time that the Greek mythological hero Heracles (and probably Perseus) had made a pilgrimage there to consult Zeus Ammon. Alexander, a student of the lives of the mythological heroes, knew these stories. This Oracle of Ammon was located in the Siwah Oasis - a 50-mile stretch of trees and vegetation found deep in the northern Sahara desert. Siwah had first become an important sacred site in the Mediterranean world in the 7th century BCE, three centuries before Alexander's time. ![]() This connection allowed them to forecast the future, which was an ability in especially high demand among the great royals and warriors of the day. ![]() This hybrid god called Zeus-Ammon had an oracle who was located deep in the Libyan desert, a few hundred miles west of Memphis, the Egyptian capital city. The oracles of antiquity were prophets believed to possess a unique connection to the gods. A god could take on different forms depending on the place and circumstances. By Alexander's time, Zeus-Ammon was a well-known deity in Greece - basically a hybrid of these two chief gods. Unlike many religions, the religion of ancient Greece was capable of incorporating foreign deities into their belief system. Amun, called "Ammon" in Greece, was the parallel "king of the gods" in the religion of ancient Egypt. Zeus was considered the ruler of the Olympian gods in ancient Greece and Macedon. This article will use the ancient evidence and modern analysis to try and separate the truth from the myth. Alexander's relationship with the ancient deity known as Zeus-Ammon is one of the great mysteries of his life. ![]() |
