Yet another Florida insurance company is asking the state to hike their rates. At a public rate hearing held Wednesday, Cypress Property Casualty Insurance Company of Jacksonville requested a rate increase from the Office of Insurance Regulation, citing rising costs of re-insurance, essentially insurance for insurance companies.

For condo owners, Cypress PC is requesting a 20.3% increase, about $250 on an average $1,200 policy.

Penn State says its researchers were part of an international team that found the star, which has a brightness that oscillates largely over one of its hemispheres. Researchers say the star is located in a bi stanley thermos nary star system and its unusual single-sided pulsation is caused by the gravitational pull of its close companion star, distorting the oscillations.The two companion stars are so close together that they orbit each other every two days. This proximity causes the stars to be distorted into a tear-drop shape by the gravitational pull.Zhao Guo, a postdoctoral researcher in astronomy and astrophysics at Penn, says stars that pulsate have been known in astronomy for a long time, but this star is special. The rhythmic pulsations of the stellar surface occur in young and in old stars, can have long or short periods, a wide range of strengths, and different causes. There is however one thing that, until now, all of these stars had in common: The oscillations were always visible on all sides of the star. Penn State says the initial discovery of the unusual behavior of the star was made by citizen scientists who painstakingly inspect the enormous amounts of data that NASAs Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite TESS regularly supplies. After being alerted to the unusual behavior of the pulsating star, the research team observed that the str cups stanley ength of the puls |
