*
*
CHICAGO - October 2, 2017 - Pentair, a global leader in sustainable water solutions, is showcasing its latest innovations this week at the Water Environment Federation's Annual Technical Exhibition (WEFTEC) in Chicago. As a leader in helping to manage the world's water resources, Pentair delivers integrated solutions across the entire water and wastewater landscape from advanced filtration, desalination and water supply to water disposal, process and control.
"At Pentair, we work to deliver industry-leading products, services and solutions that help customers make the best use of the resources they rely on most," said Phil Rolchigo, Ph.D, Pentair's Vice President of Technology. "Our customers are facing challenges tied to the changing quantity and quality of wastewater that the current infrastructure may not be designed to manage. At Pentair, we are innovating to help address these challenges more efficiently and sustainably."
Pentair is showcasing its innovative water and wastewater solutions which are aimed at helping customers reduce energy consumption, downtime and operating costs:
· Pentair Myers V-Series Retrofit System - Featuring a patented axial cutter design, the Myers V2 Grinder easily slices through challenging sewage solids and trash found in wastewater without roping or clogging. The simple-stage centrifugal design also allows for long life and lower maintenance costs.
· Pentair Hydromatic Premium Efficient (HPE) Submersible Chopper Pump - The patent-pending cutting design of the HPE Submersible Chopper Pump ensures that stringy waste and debris are cut into small pieces, allowing the waste to flow freely through the pump. Its premium efficient motor delivers high starting torque for reduced risk of clogging during start-up, while the semi-open impeller design provides superior solids handling capability and increased efficiency.
· Pentair X-Flow Advanced Filtration Solutions - For industrial processing and wastewater treatment, Pentair X-Flow will showcase its latest advanced filtration technologies. The breakthrough Helix tubular membrane-based wastewater solution helps to prevent the buildup of insoluble particles in high-solids ultrafiltration while increasing productivity up to 100 percent and lowering energy consumption by up to 50 percent. The new Compact 55G Helix offers greater efficiency and versatility for customers looking to boost existing plant performance. Pentair X-Flow will also feature its Anaerobic Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) technology that efficiently converts high-strength wastewater into clean water and renewable energy.
Showcased brands across the company's portfolio include Pentair Aurora, Pentair Fairbanks Nijhuis, Pentair Hydromatic, Pentair Myers, Pentair X-Flow, Pentair Codeline and Pentair Delta Environmental.

I'm sick of writing about mass murder. But the killings won't stop
By my count, this is the sixth time I've written a version of this column. I wrote it for the first time in 2012 after James Holmes shot and killed 12 people at a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colorado. Until today, I'd actually forgotten that I'd written it for the second time in 2015 when John Russell Houser carried out a similar, though less deadly, attack at a showing of the romantic comedy "Trainwreck", which tells you how terrifyingly often I have had to conjure up these same sentiments.

Las Vegas massacre: Such incidents make you want to throw up or give up, says Jimmy Kimmel
“Here we are again. In the aftermath of another terrible, inexplicably shocking and painful tragedy. This time in Las Vegas. Which happens to be my hometown,” Jimmy Kimmel began in his monologue after news of the massacre that killed 58 and injured over 500 shook the world.
“Of course, we pray for the victims and for their families and friends and we wonder ‘why’ even though there’s probably no way to ever know ‘why’ a human being would do something like this to other human beings who were at a concert having fun listening to music,” Kimmel continued.
“As a result of that this morning, we have children that are without parents and fathers that are without sons, mothers without daughters. We lost two police officers, we lost a nurse from Tennessee, a special ed teacher from a local school here in Manhattan Beach [California],” the father of four also said in his monologue, later noting the shootings in Orlando, Newtown, Aurora and San Bernadino as well as Lawrence, Kansas.
“It’s the kind of thing that makes you want to throw up. Or give up,” Kimmel said.
“It’s too much to even process. All these devastated families who now have to live with this pain forever because one person with a violent and insane voice in his head managed to stockpile a collection of high-powered rifles ? and used them to shoot people.”
“Late Night” host Seth Meyers also began his show by sending his condolences to the families of the victims, and commending first responders and heroic residents who "risked their lives to save stranger."
"It always seems like the worst displays of humanity in this country are immediately followed by the best, and then sadly, that is followed by no action at all. And then it repeats itself," Meyers said, before sending a pointed message to Congress.
"I would just like to say ‘are there no steps we can take as a nation to prevent gun violence? Or is this just how it is, and how it's going to continue to be?"
He questioned Congress members' reasoning for repeatedly insisting "now is not the time" to talk about gun violence, adding, "What you really mean is, there is never a time to talk about it."
Meyers ended his message with a plea for transparency: "If you're not willing to do anything, just be honest and tell us. ... If it's going to be thoughts and prayers from here on out, the least you can do is be honest about that."

Extreme magnetic storm: Red aurora over Kyoto in 1770
Researchers used historic accounts of a rare red aurora over Kyoto, Japan, in the 18th century to support calculations of the strength of the associated magnetic storm. The September 1770 storm could be 3-10% stronger than the September 1859 storm, the greatest storm in the past 200 years. The research provides insights that could assist preparation for an unlikely, but possible, future intense magnetic storm.
