Flexible Pump Station Control with the Invertek Drives Optidrive ECO series!

Simple Connection: Additional VFDs connected on the system require a single RJ45 connection and basic commissioning, leading to time savings and simplified installation.

Flexible Solution: The system can operate with up to five pumps in any configuration, for example with Duty / Assist / Standby. Duty pumps are automatically rotated, ensuring maximum service life and system efficiency.

Consistent Flow: The required pressure and flow levels are maintained regardless of how many pumps are required. When demand increases, additional pumps are automatically brought on stream to assist and are switched off again when not required.

Reduced Downtime: In the event of a fault, or if a pump needs to be isolated for maintenance, the system will automatically continue to operate with the remaining available pumps.

Total Control: A single master drive acts to control and monitor system operation. Control connections are made to this VFD only, saving installation time and reducing costs.

Alcaraz Overcomes Illness to Beat Rublev, Zverev Dominates Ruud at ATP Finals

Carlos Alcaraz battled through illness to secure a 6-3, 7-6 (10-8) victory over Andrey Rublev at the ATP Finals in Turin on Wednesday. The 21-year-old Spaniard, who had been struggling with a chest complaint and cut short his practice session the day before, showed resilience in his second match of the tournament.

Despite the health setback, Alcaraz played with composure and precision, especially from the baseline, as he dispatched Rublev in straight sets. Alcaraz won the first set in 37 minutes, breaking Rublev twice, and clinched the second set in a tense tie-break. He hit 33 winners compared to just 14 from the Russian.

“I surprised myself with how I played from the baseline,” Alcaraz reflected after the match. “I stayed calm and focused on my game, forgetting about not feeling well.”

In a heartfelt gesture, Alcaraz scribbled "Valencia" on a TV monitor post-match, offering his support to those in Spain affected by recent floods.

Earlier in the day, German second seed Alexander Zverev claimed his second win of the tournament with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 victory over Norway’s Casper Ruud. Zverev, a two-time ATP Finals champion, took control of the match after a closely contested first set, eventually breaking Ruud in the second to secure the win. With this result, Zverev is now one match away from a semi-final berth, needing a win over Alcaraz in their final group stage match on Friday to guarantee his place in the next round.

“I think it was a very good match from both of us," Zverev said after the win. "It was close, but I’m happy to get the victory today.”

Alcaraz's triumph over Rublev came after a disappointing loss to Ruud on Monday, marking a significant improvement in his form despite his ongoing chest discomfort. Alcaraz showed his mental toughness, coming from 40-15 down to break Rublev and take the first set. In the second, he had to save two set points before closing out the match.

Rublev, who has now lost six consecutive matches at the ATP Finals, has yet to recover his form since reaching the semi-finals last year. Meanwhile, Zverev's dominant performance against Ruud demonstrated his readiness to contend for a third ATP Finals title.

Looking ahead, American Taylor Fritz will face Australia's Alex de Minaur on Thursday, while world number one Jannik Sinner will play Daniil Medvedev. Sinner, who is undefeated so far, can advance to the semi-finals with a set win over Medvedev.

This is the only time the creator will go out of character.

Hello, everyone.

The creator is being involved in an experimental project regarding S6N. They are looking for anyone interested in Vivziepop's show or at least critical of her show to take part in. They are looking for people who can play a character. An OC, if you will. A tupper of that OC is required. If you do not know how to make a tupper, then I advise to know from someone prior. Why? Because there is one main rule to follow prior upon joining the experiment and the server;

STAY. IN. CHARACTER. YOU MUST RESPOND TO EVERYTHING WITH YOUR TUPPER(S).

Whether it be from a sinner or a hellborne, from everything they say, believe, defend, condone, everything. Make them feel they are actually talking to a sinner or a hellborne. Make them feel these are meant to be either unforgiving, cruel demons, sinners who have a chance at redemption or sinners who wish to indulge in their sins for all of eternity.

Give variety to your sinners. There are billions of them in the Pride Ring. Not all of them are hip millennials or Gen Z with 21st century language. Many of them have been around for hundreds of years, thousands even. If your sinner OC's primarily from the 19th or 20th century, have them actually act the era they died in. I will question if your 1950s OC is speaking like a VSCO girl.

Do not censor. Do not obfuscate. There are no limits except what you, the viewer feel is too far to say. Don't hide the degrading insults, don't hide the words through ridiculous censorships (l*ke th1s). Make what they say feel real and not an exaggeration.

This is not like other servers. This is a purely experimental project that aims to actually imitate Hell in Vivziepop's universe but in a much stronger light. The creator believed the show was too strict, limiting, and way too safe-spacey of a Hell to feel like the real deal.

If you cannot commit to that and take what someone says to actual value, then you cannot join, they are sorry. The server is not for you. Not because you are weak, but because the server is something you personally could not accept or keep up with. That is okay.

The goal of this project is entirely random. There's no structure or setpoint. Just things happening as they go by but will be done thoroughly and with care. It is merely for fun and exploration of Vivziepop's worldbuilding, and expanding upon things the creator believes Vivziepop will never do herself.

If you are interested, please let the creator know in the comments or through reblogs. The server is currently in development. They are open to any questions, too. edit: Apologies, forgot to add. This is an 18+ project. For anyone who is under 18+ cannot take part in the project, I am sorry.

tw: mention of sh & ed & sui

i've been in hospital for so long, i feel like i don't remember life outside. i had to pause university, and today a friend came to visit me - and all the big improvements (getting to an open ward, being allowed to go outside, go to the shop ect) seemed so small in comparison to him studying and hanging out with his friends.

on the bright side: i had an appointment for a trauma clinic, where i'll sleep at home and be there for therapy through the day. it's specialized on trauma, which is such a big chance - and they said they'll probably take me. so now i just have to wait for them to confirm it.

feels weird to try to get better. i've not been s€lf harm free for three weeks in nearly a year. even thinking about it makes it feel like i'm not valid enough to even struggle. i don't know. it hurts. especially telling them that i hold my setpoint weight atm had anorexia screaming. big parts of me want to get worse, run away, hurt myself, is screaming for sui - but i won't. i can do it - maybe?

i have a tiny bit of hope. and a lot of fears. and it hurts.

let's go on an adventure, shall we?

[mionghairearracht]

my toxic trait is i hate pluto as a planet discourse not because i think pluto is a planet but because i fucking loath the iau's definition of a planet.

it relies on ambiguous concepts with no agreed setpoint, both "clearing the neighbourhood" and "hydrostatic equilibrium", arbitrarily excludes objects outside a solar system from planethood*, gets extremely weird with things like brown dwarfs, and in general basically assumes our solar system as the default to base things off of and thus gets messed up with anything that doesn't occur in our system

i hate it and i hate that everyone swings so far into "support science" that they end up dismissing the actual debates happening within a field.

*technically rogue planets aren't planets, even if they meet all other criteria and started as planets before being ejected from its system. because planets are defined by being in a solar system.

Imaginary Human and elf conversation I have in my head the past few day :

Elf : I’m finally 100 yo! I can’t wait to start picking up some study and hopefully start venture outside my home in the next 50 years!

Human : That’s neat. I left home when I was late teen to find job by that time I’m quite a competent wizard since I started immediately after I can read. I got accidentally captured by drows, lived in Menzoberranzan for a year or two. I escaped after poisoned Matron mother to death. Then I returned to surface, helped a random village from being wiped out by goblins and orcs. Dating one high elf, who I already divorced, and had two half-elves children. Oh and I probably changed nationalities two times by the time I’m 25. I don’t think I accomplished much as a 25 humans :(

Elf : Y O U W H A T

— RED Anon

Dudee that's what I'm saying! Elves are too coddled fr.

Humans start their education at 6 years old, sometimes younger if you count kindergarten, then finish it at 18.

And the second you hit 18, all the questions start pouring in like

"When are you getting a job?" // "When will you ge married?"

"Who will you vote for?" // "So, did you find a place to move out to?"

And don't let me get started on the weird 20's span where half your friends are married with kids and the other half are in the club.

And that's just the basic of human life, there is still their adventurer class studies or training.

Sure, elves consider their 18-year-old youngs technically adults, but that's just an excuse to allow them to drink and go wild with each other. But in their own circles, they still treat them as kids who don't know better and should wait for their 100th birthday to mature.

Also, the inherited human feelings of shame and incompetence, a tendency towards addiction.Like you're not doing enough, and you're lagging behind.

That is a real thing.

It's called the hedonic set point. Each human has it a certain point in a scale of "happiness" or the emotions responsible for it in general, the feel good hormones your brain releases on average.

If something happens that makes you feel good, your emotional state goes above the set point, if you feel bad, your emotional state goes below the setpoint.

But eventually, you will always return to the starting emotional state, your hedonic set point.

And we don't determine where it's set, nor do all humans have it equally set. Which means some people will always have a worse emotional state by default, with no faults of their own, no matter what they achieved.

Addictions are an easy source of happiness hormones, rewards hormones etc. It can be food, sugar, gambling, gaming, or even more extreme addictions. That's why human resistances to addictions varies widely

Which is what honestly drives some people to always seek more, to achieve more or climb higher.

( i removed a previous written part here after editing this post months later because I couldn't find sources to support the theory, it was the part about the hedonic set point being the caused by evolution and natural selection, that sad humans are more likely to survive)

It's also an existence crisis in It's own, isn't it? The feeling like everything cool has already been done before and you will never stand out from the billions of the humans on earth. The feeling that your life is meaningless and the world wouldn't change if you had stopped existence.

So you take art, like writing, hello there :), or music or climbing or anything that will leave your fingerprints behind. Leave an essence of yourself behind that says I was here. I am a human being and i effceted people and things, I Existed and I Mattered.

All of this is the human experience. To be human.

The constant race between each and every one of us, the constant need to shift and change and improve upon ourselves and our own society. Each generation is vastly different than the last and sometimes condems all their ancestors' rules.

By the time an elf matures, a whole generation of humans came snd reshaped society before bidding their goodbyes. All races will have to readjust to the most recent human culture that frequently changes.

If anything, one could argue that long-lived races hinder human progress. The only thing constant in humans is change and expansions. But for elves they rather take a small space and join the natural progress while humans seek to destroy and flee the the cycle of nature.

A process engineer messaged me urgently today that he could not get the chamber to run

I looked at the error

"heater out of range. Setpoint is 250. Current temp is 300"

I told the engineer what the error was

He told me he set it to cool down

I unchecked the obvious checkbox that halts the system when the temperature is out of range

I told him I fixed the problem.

Sometimes I wonder if these guys even read the error messages

[manyblinkinglights]

i dont know of you ever got an answer but i asked and heres the result

thanks, I’ve been thinking about this still and like curlicue cal mentioned, there’s a ton of layers to this—autonomic nervous system type stuff, my confusion was momentarily assuming that fevers are controlled in a way they’re probably not (some kind of adjustment to the target setpoint that thoroughly and predictably would affect every system thru central control, like the incubators at work). (I bet myself ten dollars here and now it;s way more bogus than that and probably something gets suppressed instead lol)

while balls are frequently depicted as contracting in response to imagined/internal stimuli like anticipation of cold or distress, and they prolly do, all body stuff is wired in upside down redundantly and backwards, especially something as critical as this I bet. So JUST having a fever and perceiving yourself as cold, these are a couple inputs to a complex holistic body switchboard, and I’m no longer surprised that balls have a local override to the brain’s perception of cold. Paralyzed ppl’s balls probably dangle accurately too.

I’m still a little curious about whether that local temperature sense is the same as the main cns or brain or whatever one, like same receptors and chemical logic and stuff, or whether it’s interesting or purpose built in some way.

Funny how you can't unsee things. On first glance I took the first image because lol, they are being clever with their don't pee on the flowers sign but now all I can see is the fact the edges are not aligned with the concrete block and that there is weird alignment of the words.

A lot of messaging gets lost that way. There is what is intended and what we perceive and all the mental filters we run things through.

The second image is a flower from my mom's yard. I bought the plant recently and I thought, how auspicious for it to bloom on the first day of the new year. When she saw it she was all gloomy because it reminded her of her favorite one she lost some time ago. I try to find common language and emotional setpoints between us but we often seem to be on opposite sides, like the ends of a magnetized bar. Perhaps that is our balance.

New year but old ways of communicating. I'll try again tomorrow.

They envy my relatively high base happiness setpoint.

[foreverisntenough]

So a couple of things so bare with me:

Your workrate is among the most imoressive things I’ve seen, lol. You vould hold chapter 24 until November and I would still consider it quick. So please, all in your own time!

I would kind of like a proper ”this is where y/n is at” in relation to her body and food in general in the story if that’s possible. If you get what I mean? I think (correct me if I’m wrong) the last thing we heard about her relationship with food was that she didn’t want the sugar and calories from Teddys iceicle and idk it would just be kinda nice to properly get a clear setpoint for where she’s currently at - if you understand? But only if you think it fits/want to write it!!! Whatever you think best!

This might genuinley be the best multi-chapter story I’ve ever read. It fits my personal preferences to a T. I love the pace and the vibe of it. No major plot twist, just kind of ”slice of life” with som highs and some lows and just pure domesticity. To top it of it is truly wonderfully written.💕

I hope all of this didn’t come of as demanding or anything🥰

Thank you so much for such a sweet message!! 🫶🫶🫶 definitely not demanding at all! I love these types of anons they are so special to me!!!

I really appreciate you acknowledging my work rate or the cadence at which I post! I know I’ve slowed a little bit but that’s just because I’ve been on holiday but I hope you/ my readers know how hard I work on these chapters!

I definitely want to do an update on Y/N’s health. I wanted Chapter 24 (which is now posted) to be fairly happy, joyous, and about their wedding. I didn’t want to dampen it but I will circle back to her insecurities. I think it’s important- good to know you want the update as well. I wasn’t sure if people were over it!

I love that you love this series! It really is a labor of love for me. I love the phrase ‘slice of life’ that’s what it feels like to me as well. It’s like strangely comforting to me. Even in its angsty-est moments I really love following their fictional life 🥺

dopamine: a neurotransmitter responsible for carrying information from the brain to various parts of the body. it is known as one of the hormones of happiness and when released it causes a feeling of pleasure, satisfaction and increases motivation.

addiction: continuous and compulsive consumption of a substance or behavior (games, video games, sex), despite the harm they do to the person and to others.

several times I read myself in the pages of this book, I could see behaviors that I have that seem to be healthy, but are harmful. In fact, I think this is the magic of this book, despite bringing extreme addictions, it also brings some “harmless” addictions, such as reading, watching, eating, exercising, using the cell phone, etc. it's important for us to measure our behaviors so that it doesn't become something harmful, for example: spending hours and hours marathoning series can become a bad habit, it is necessary to understand, why are you doing this? does it affect your routine? pull you away from friends and family? if the answer is yes, then it's time to make changes.

“we all run away from suffering. some take pills. some stretch out on the couch, marathoning netflix. others read cheap novels. we do just about anything to distract ourselves from ourselves.” one of the main reasons that lead us to engage in this type of behavior is the need to escape suffering or discomfort, something that we all experience, we start to tolerate less and less suffering, with that, we always look for something that takes us away from reality.

the author presented a structure that she uses to talk to her patients about compulsive hyper consumption, through the acronym dopamine, it applies not only to conventional drugs, such as alcohol and nicotine, but also to any substance, or behavior, of high dopamine that we ingested for a long time, or simply with which we wanted to have a slightly less torturous relationship. I will present it here as a way for you, the reader, to apply it to your life and analyze your compulsive hyper consumption.

p.s. this is valid for compulsive hyper consumption of substances and behaviors that are not life-threatening to self or others when stopped on their own. in case of dependence on alcohol and other drugs, the support of a medical team prepared for this is necessary.

D stands for data. start by gathering the simple consumer facts. - what, how much and how often?-

O stands for usage purposes. understand what your goals are for the substance use or behavior.

P stands for usage related issues. identify what problems the substance use or behavior is currently or in the future causing in your life. this part is important to consider carefully, as most of us fail to see the full extent of the consequences of drug use while we are still using it. high dopamine substances and behaviors cloud our ability to accurately assess cause and effect.

A means abstinence. (this process is not for people who may be at risk of life-threatening withdrawal if they quit all at once.) start the “dopamine fast” process. go for a period of at least 4 weeks without using the substance or behavior, this will allow your homeostasis to be restored, with this you will again have the ability to derive pleasure from less potent rewards.

M stands for mindfulness. mindfulness is simply the ability to observe what our brain is doing, while it's doing it, without judgment. watch your thoughts and welcome them without judgement, this will make you develop the ability to know your brain and yourself.

I stands for insight. when you abstain from your drug of choice, you gain illuminating insights into your life and a greater understanding of what you used to be like. “you have to leave the island to see the island. we don't see each other if we don't get out of ourselves”.

N means new steps. find out what you are going to do after your month of abstinence.

E means experiment. you will return to the world armed with a new dopamine setpoint and a plan for how to keep it balanced. it will depend on you whether it will be continued abstinence or conscious use.

the author also presented the term self-commitment to treat addictions “self-commitment is the way to intentionally and spontaneously create barriers between us and our drug of choice, to mitigate compulsive hyper consumption.”

there are physical self-commitment, chronological self-commitment and categorical self-commitment.

physical self-commitment is creating literal physical barriers and/or geographic distance between ourselves and our drug of choice. for example: ask the hotel to remove the minibar, put away your video game, put away the television, etc.

chronological self-commitment is the use of time limits and goals. by restricting consumption to certain times of the day, week, month, or year, we narrow our consumption window and thereby limit our use. for example: a person can restrict their usage time and consume only on vacation, on weekends, never before thursday, never before 5 pm, and so on.

categorical self-commitment is a way to limit consumption by classifying dopamine into different categories: subtypes we allow ourselves to consume and those we don't. you should assess what is a “trigger” for your addiction and put it on the list of what not to consume. for example: for a person with addiction to masturbation, seeing his naked body is a trigger, so he will need to avoid seeing himself for a period of time.

self-commitment is a way to be free.

anyway, I couldn't give less than 5 ☆, this book was a lesson. I committed myself to making changes in certain areas of my life and it inspired me as a professional, I wanted to start my postgraduate course in neuro and work with addiction.
