A new idea for the Imperial forces of the ImperiumThe imperiums future depends on modernizing. We need to modernize. To think new. The old technologies must be researched anew. But we also need to do more in research, or else im afraid the imperium will splinter as heretics surface and tyrranids chew on its fridges.
The orks are my idea. If we somehow manage to get an extra large space marine, or perhaps a dreadnaught and make it ''Orky'' to use a exeno word. The ''Orky'' space marine or dreadnaught could rally his own WAAAGH! By shooting the orks and make sure they know their place. This way the empire of mankind could use one of their strongest enemies against the rest.
A mighty WAAAAGH! Led by and with the blessings of the Holy Emperor of Terra would make for exelent stormtroops. And thanks to the orks body built for war they could save millions of the emperors people. They could work well with Ogryn. An Ogryn made ''Orky''and sent to lead a great WAAAGH! Would thus serve the emperor better then if he were given a rippergun and sen

From the apartment she lived. She even got a sister and a big brother. Her big brother was a silent and calm person who preferred to sit inside and write instead of being out in the street whit the rest of the boys.
Sonja had a carpet that was hers. It was not a particularly fine or soft carpet, old as it was. But it was her carpet.
Sigurd was the big brother of Sonja and a thinking soul. He wrote a lot and was two years older than Sonja. He used to tell Sonja and her friends stories about trolls, gnomes and elves being eaten by trolls. Sonja's favorite story was called ''Forges and metal''
Ronja was also the thinking one. She was calm and thinking while Sonja was full of energy and life.

Scrin Study Part 2TravelersMore Like This
By far the most visually disturbing of the Scrin sects. The differences between Travelers and Caretakers are often used to show the incredible variation between Scrin sects. Travelers are the Scrin's scouts, as well as their only dedicated military sect. It is believed that the Traveler sect is closest in appearance to the Scrin before they discovered interplanetary travel. Their bodies seem somewhat haphazardly adapted to space travel, and given the Scrin's cycle of heavy genetic evolution that follows their technological evolution, the Travelers are analogous to what a Scrin sect would need on a pre-interstellar planet, one that would probably have multiple Hive-nations and a need for both a military and espionage.
Traveler Scrin appear to be much more bug-like in appearance than other sects, as well as shorter. An average Traveler of either gender is about six feet in height. They are covered in a smooth shell of large overlapping plates as well, much l

Lent, 2013Everything in life seems to move according to a circular pattern. God has implanted throughout all creation a definitive synergy, a concrete rhythm. It has been supposed that we create our own patterns. It has been supposed that life has no meaning save for what scraps of hemmed in philosophy we sloppily throw together and shake up in the bag. As a child, through secular schooling, I was indoctrinated with that methodology indirectly, of course. A direct assault on the senses would be regarded as somehow crass and vulgar.

Frustrated ChristianSometimes Christians baffle me. I'm talking about a very specific group of Christians... a group that is much more prevalent and numerous than I want to believe. They want to draw souls to themselves, but they sneer and spit poison when they think no one was listening. They dominate the charity scene, but they pick and choose which people are deserving of their help. Not content to just cling to their faith, they choose to cling just as tightly to their behaviors, insisting that God is leading them so their behavior is right, no matter what anyone says.

How to make a characterHow to make a characterMore Like This
Characters are the most important reasons for books, but they're also hard to create. Some people are able to create characters out of their minds in split seconds, while others have a hard time. When creating a novel, you must focus on the three main topics:
1. Character
2. Personalities and Traits
3. Development and Obstacles
Without these main topics, you don't have a story. Have you read a book that doesn't have character development, or a plot? I have read a book like that before. The character development and plot was so horrifying I almost threw the book across the room. I don't even know how it got published. The characters were so boring I fell asleep and have no care what's going to happened to them. Their development was pointless and it made no sense, actually there wasn't even any development at all.
The first step is to create your character. Your character can look whatever you want. They could even look l

Do You Really Need a Discrete Sound Card? 520
from the either-that-or-you-don't dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Only if what you listen to requires discretion.
Oh yeah, need something to power this 2X CD-ROM drive. Now if I can just find my CD caddy so I can load it...
To be honest, I prefer my sound to be continuous. I tried playing left for dead with a flickering sound card, and let me tell you, *silence* *silence* *silence* *Roar of Tank right behind you* *silence* Not a good way to play. Don't even get me started on Voice Chat.
As opposed to what? Continuous sound card?
You know, do you need a sound card that doesn't let your roommate or neighbor know that you listen to porn all day?
How am I supposed to gloat about how awesome my sound setup is if I don't have a discrete sound card? Instead of wasting time with blind listening tests, they should go to a bar, walk up to a woman and say:
Hey, baby, wanna come home and listen to my 7.1-channel, 24-bit, 192kHz Xense sound card while I rock you all night long?
Excuse me, miss, would you like to come home and listen to my integrated sound card while I cry about my ex-girlfriend and prematurely ejaculate?
This is what I call real-life testing scenarios.
Yeah, but sometimes I use the computer when others are sleeping. I need it to be discreet.
I put my PC into a wooden case so the bits would properly resonate before being sent to the speakers.
I wonder how complex your algorithms would have to be to determine if the sounds produced are of gunshots or female moans.
They should give the Turing award to anyone that can produce an algorithm that can tell the difference between porn and women's tennis.
I think in this case, since you don't want to wake up your parents upstairs, the integrated option would probably be best.
They should give the Turing award to anyone that can produce an algorithm that can tell the difference between porn and women's tennis.
You mean women's tennis isn't porn?
Analog of course. They've got this new qbits that can have literally any value between 0 and 1!
The music gives it away.
Which is why pro audio equipment using iron core transformers can sound so damn good when the i/o stages are driven to saturation. I dare say that using coathangers in place of bell wire to connect passive speakers would grately improve the sound of most of todays sterile sounding music. Not as much as muting it or turing it off, but it's a good start.

More camping opportunities could become available in Kaibab forest
WILLIAMS, Ariz. -- Visitors to a northern Arizona forest who don't want to pitch tents in a designated campground soon might have more options.
The Kaibab National Forest has proposed the designation of camping corridors along more than 220 miles of road on the Williams and Tusayan ranger districts. Visitors would be allowed to drive 30 feet off open roads and camp up to 200 feet from the center line of those roads.
Forest Supervisor Mike Williams said the public has asked for more opportunities for motorized dispersed camping.
The proposal is part of a revision to a travel management plan that's open for comment until May 31.

Hello everyone new to this site, looking for advice. I'm 19 year of age and I own a colt .22 LR m4. I currently live in PA and I'm doing a road trip by myself to go to FL. Since I'm going to be own my own I would like to carry my weapon system. From what I've been able to research as long as I have my weapon in a case (can I use a gun bag?) not readily accessible to the driver. Also the mags(can they be loaded?) and ammo must be in a separate lockable case(if I have them in a hand gun case, that's locked, can I put it in the gun bag?). any help would be appreciated, thanks. Also can I have accessories on my gun like a flash light with pressure switch and red laze. thanks

I got one to I love the gun, bag case really don't matter, I would keep the mag unloaded. and away from the gun. When I moved from Vermont I had the gun in the trunk, the clips in the lock box in the front, and the ammo in a fire proof lock box in the trunk. It really doesn't matter as long as its not loaded and you don't get pulled over for a dui.

Nick- I want you to run right down to the tattoo parlor and get one that says "Some guy on the interwebz told me it was legal" You can show that one off to your new roomates down at the Graybar Hotel.
There is a major legal difference between TRANSPORTING a firearm from point A (legal to possess there) and point B (legal to possess there) and in CARRYING a firearm.
Rather than give you a pat answer, I am going to send you to the web, Research "Peaceable Journey Act". I am not aware of any laws regarding flashlight and lasers, but I am an engineer (skilled labor) and not a lawyer (see also parasites)
Seriously, I see a TON of bad legal advice on forums, You have NO WAY of judging the qualifications of the person giving that advice. I try to refer people to the written law in question.
As far as YOU know, I am 12 years old, and Mom does not know I am on the computer. I'm not- but how do YOU know that?
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Most all states will require the firearm be hidden from view, either in a case or not and unloaded. The most practical way to carry/transport your rifle would be to keep it in a case in the trunk and keep the loaded mag on your person. Most states won't have a problem with this method. You can check local state laws here NRA-ILA :: and make sure you count the states you are driving through , not just to and from. If you cant find the answers you seek there. start calling the state police offices. They won't even ask your name and will be thrilled to give legal advice. Be safe and smart.
"but I am an engineer (skilled labor) and not a lawyer (see also parasites)"
I'll forward that to my BIL.

This invention relates to compositions containing multivalent silver compounds that have been exposed to ozone, and more particularly to aqueous solutions containing ozone-activated tetrasilver tetroxide.
It is conventionally understood that water, particularly standing bodies of water, can be an effective breeding ground or reservoir for a variety of undesirable microbes. Thus, a wide variety of water treatment systems have been developed to disinfect potable water and/or maintain it at a safe level.
Perhaps the most common disinfection method for drinking or recreational water is chlorination. However, it has been found that chlorine has an objectionable odor, and can cause skin irritations and serious eye irritations to users of recreational bodies of water, such as pools, spas, etc. More importantly, chlorine forms trihalomethanes in the presence of organic materials and these compounds present a potential health threat due to their carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. Because of the long term health threat and objectionable physical properties of chlorine, a number of alternate water treatment systems that operate without chlorine have been developed in recent years.
Another gas used to disinfect water is ozone. According to U.S. Pat. No. 4,176,061 to Stopka, the ability of ozone to purify drinking water has been appreciated for some time. Stopka cites a number of references that teach the advantages of using ozone rather than chlorine to decontaminate water. What Stopka does not disclose is that ozone, like chlorine, has some disadvantages. Perhaps most significant of these disadvantages is that ozone, as a gas, can dissipate from water over time, leaving the water once again susceptible to contamination by various pathogens.
A number of water disinfection systems rely on the oligodynamic effect provided by the addition to water of, e.g., transition metals such as silver.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,247 to Heinig, Jr. discloses water treatment systems comprising exposing the water to a material which erodes to provide particulate silver in the water. Although the particulate silver is said to be ionic, and the patent does not disclose the valency of the ions formed by erosion, other references, such as Antelman, �Silver (II, III) Disinfectants,� Soap/Cosmetics/Chemical Specialties, pp. 52-59 (March 1994) at page 52, third paragraph, suggest that trace ions formed from silver metal are monovalent.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,352,369 to Heinig, Jr. acknowledges that water treatment systems like that disclosed in Heinig's earlier '247 patent are only partially effective in avoiding the use of chlorine as an antimicrobial agent, in that such systems often require the addition of reduced amounts of chlorine to water treated by such systems. The '369 patent purports to avoid this limitation on prior silver-based systems, in providing a method of treating water by generating an active oxidizer in the water which is capable of attacking and killing a wide range of microorganisms therein. The method comprises exposing the water to a silver catalyst in the presence of oxygen to form an active oxidizer in the water and, in some instances to also release silver ions (presumably monovalent silver ions as discussed above) therein via an erosion process similar to that set forth in Heinig's '247 patent. The silver catalyst utilized in the method comprises an alumina matrix having between approximately 0.1% and 5% by weight of elemental silver chemically deposited thereon. The oxygen utilized in the method preferably also comprises ozone.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,017,295, 5,073,382, 5,078,902, 5,089,275, 5,098,582, 5,211,855 and 5,223,149 to Antelman disclose water treatment methods comprising adding multivalent silver compounds to water.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,211,855 to Antelman discloses and claims a water treatment method comprising adding tetrasilver tetroxide to water bodies, such as reservoirs. At column 1, Antelman discloses that his previous patents were incorrect in identifying the antimicrobial agent as silver (II) oxide (i.e., AgO), when it is actually tetrasilver tetroxide (i.e., Ag4O4), wherein each molecule comprises one pair of monovalent silver atoms and one pair of trivalent silver atoms.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,223,149 to Antelman discloses the use of trivalent silver compounds as bactericidal and algicidal agents in water treatment. Antelman asserts that these trivalent silver compounds are an improvement over his earlier divalent silver compounds, which are disclosed and claimed in his earlier U.S. patents identified above. Antelman at the paragraph bridging columns 1-2 teaches that oxidizing agents are not required to be used with the trivalent silver compounds.
Despite the foregoing developments, there is still room in the art for improved water treatment systems.
All references cited herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The invention provides an ozonated form of the compound tetrasilver tetroxide, a water disinfection method employing the ozonated tetrasilver tetroxide and compositions comprising the ozonated tetrasilver tetroxide. Examples of compositions of the invention include beverages and disinfectants.
In addition, the invention provides a method for increasing the half-life of ozone in water, said method comprising providing tetrasilver tetroxide in the water along with the ozone.
The invention will be described in conjunction with the following drawings in which like reference numerals designate like elements and wherein:
FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 are Multiple Angle Light Scattering (MALS) graphs of log intensity vs. angle.
The inventor has discovered that the ozonated form of the compound tetrasilver tetroxide has an antimicrobial effect greater than that of non-oxidated tetrasilver tetroxide. Prior to the inventor's discovery, it was known that potassium monopersulfate could activate the antimicrobial effect of tetrasilver tetroxide, but the inventor is unaware of any suggestion in the prior art that ozone is also capable of activating this effect. In embodiments of the invention, ozonated tetrasilver tetroxide has an antimicrobial effect at least equal to that of potassium monopersulfate-activated tetrasilver tetroxide. Moreover, activating tetrasilver tetroxide with ozone avoids the drawbacks of using potentially hazardous and/or toxic chemicals as activation agents.
Although there has been some confusion in the art regarding the precise nature of tetrasilver tetroxide, U.S. Pat. No. 5,211,855 describes tetrasilver tetroxide as a molecule, Ag4O4, having one pair of monovalent silver atoms and one pair of trivalent silver atoms. While not necessarily wishing to be bound by this theory in its entirety, the term �tetrasilver tetroxide� as used herein is intended to identify the compound Ag4O4.
Tetrasilver tetroxide is the most preferred oligodynamic compound of the invention; however, it is contemplated that the other oligodynamic compounds, such as trivalent silver (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,223,149 to Antelman), multivalent copper (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,336,416 to Antelman), and other multivalent heavy metal compounds, can be substituted for tetrasilver tetroxide in certain embodiments of the invention.
Tetrasilver tetroxide is ozonated by a process comprising providing non-activated tetrasilver tetroxide and ozone in a fluid medium. The medium can be ozonated before, during and/or after addition of tetrasilver tetroxide thereto. Water is the preferred fluid medium, but other liquid or gaseous media in which ozone can be solubilized can be suitable for use in the invention, e.g., various peroxides, ethers, alcohols or acids, such as peracetic acid.
The initial ratio of ozone to tetrasilver tetroxide provided in the medium is preferably 1:10 to 10:1, more preferably at least 1:2, most preferably at least 1;1. The amount of ozone is preferably from 0.5 to 7.0 ppm, and more preferably from 4 to 6 ppm. The concentration of non-activated tetrasilver tetroxide is preferably from 0.5 to 7.0 ppm, and more preferably from 2 to 6 ppm. Greater amounts of either ingredient might be wasteful or cause undesirable side effects. Lesser amounts of either ingredient might not be sufficiently microcidal to achieve a desired antimicrobial effect.
Although it is preferred to initially provide ozone in the above-identified concentrations, such concentrations need not be maintained throughout the life of the resulting composition. In embodiments, ozone is actively removed or passively dissipates from the composition over time, yielding a composition substantially devoid of ozone in which ozone-activated tetrasilver tetroxide continues to function as an antimicrobial agent.
In view of the heretofore unknown ability of ozone to activate tetrasilver tetroxide, it is not necessary to provide other activating agents in the composition, such as potassium monopersulfate.
Compositions of the invention are suitable for a wide variety of purposes. For example, the compositions can be consumed as beverages (e.g., as bottled water, municipal tap water, etc.) or can be applied as cleaning agents to substrates in need of cleaning (i.e., disinfection, etc.). The concentration of tetrasilver tetroxide and/or ozone may be adjusted according to the intended use. For example, the concentration of at least one ingredient might be raised above the preferred concentrations mentioned above to prepare a disinfectant composition unsuitable for human consumption. Of course, such a composition would preferably be packaged in a container labeled as a cleaning product so as to avoid accidental human consumption.
Water disinfection is the most preferred use for ozonated tetrasilver tetroxide of the invention. Water disinfection according to the invention can be as simple as providing ozonated tetrasilver tetroxide in water. This can be done in accordance with the methods described above for providing ozonated tetrasilver tetroxide compositions. The water decontaminated can be used for consumption (e.g., via municipal water distribution systems), recreation (e.g., in pools), manufacturing (e.g., as a raw material, solvent, etc.), etc.
The water disinfection method of the invention enjoys several advantages over conventional water treatment methods employing ozone without tetrasilver tetroxide or tetrasilver tetroxide without ozone. In addition to the unexpected activation of tetrasilver tetroxide by ozone described above, tetrasilver tetroxide has an unexpected effect on ozone. The inventor has discovered that the half-life of ozone in water is increased by tetrasilver tetroxide. As the dissipation of ozone from treated water over time and distance has posed a major limitation on the use of ozone in municipal water treatment, the ability of tetrasilver tetroxide to extend the half-life of ozone in water is a very significant advantage of the invention.
The combined effects of ozone and tetrasilver tetroxide also facilitate the use of lesser amounts of at least one of the two ingredients relative to prior art methods using only one of the two ingredients. This can improve the quality of the product of the method (e.g., by minimizing the undesirable odor of ozone), while decreasing production costs.
Embodiments of the invention are useful to kill pathogens, including but not limited to: vegetative bacteria and spores, such as Clostridium or Bacillus species; viruses; protozoans; and protozoan cysts and oocysts, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Non-pathogenic simulants, such as Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus stearothermophilus spores, are used to demonstrate the efficacy of treatment because they are more resistant to disinfection than any known water-borne pathogens.
The invention will be illustrated in more detail with reference to the following Examples, but it should be understood that the present invention is not deemed to be limited thereto.
E. coli has long been recognized for its association with fecal contamination of water and the presence of many enteric pathogens. A sample of E. coli K12 strain was grown on TSA (tryptic soy agar) at 37� C. for 24 hours for use as a test organism. The following measurements were obtained after 24 hours:
Acridine Orange Direct Count: 1.05�108 cells/mL;
Plate Count on TSA: 3.95�108 cells/mL;
Stock Culture Plate Count: 2.27�108 cells/mL; and
1 hour culture in water: 2.71�107 cells/mL (untreated control).
The efficacy of tetrasilver tetroxide (SILDATE, N. Jonas & Co., Bensalem, Pa.) in the absence of ozone was evaluated by performing TSA plate counts on E. coli K12 strain samples having the following additives:
(A) 1 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide+10 ppm potassium monopersulfate (PMP);
(B) 2 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide+20 ppm of PMP;
(C) 5 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide+50 ppm of PMP; and
(D) 10 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide+100 ppm of PMP.
PMP is a compound known to activate the antimicrobial effect of tetrasilver tetroxide. The counts were taken at various time intervals. The results are tabulated in Table 1.
It was observed that 10 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide activated with 100 ppm PMP kills 100% of the test pathogen at five minutes or less. Other studies have indicated that 10 ppm or less tetrasilver tetroxide kills 100% of E. coli K12 strain within 30 minutes. Tetrasilver tetroxide (5 ppm) activated with 50 ppm PMP kills 90% in 5 minutes and 100% in 10 minutes. Tetrasilver tetroxide (2 ppm) activated with 20 ppm PMP kills 95% in 10 minutes and 100% in 20 minutes. Tetrasilver tetroxide (1 ppm) activated with 10 ppm PMP kills 4 logs in 30 minutes and 100% in 1 hour.
Efficacy of Ozone
The efficacy of ozone in the absence of tetrasilver tetroxide was evaluated by challenging Bacillus subtilis spores with 2 ppm ozone and measuring the survival rate over time by MALS, acridine orange direct counts (AODC) and by counting colony forming units (CFU) at 24 hours. The results are tabulated in Table 2. The resulting MALS graphs are shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 shows a reduction in the log intensity as a direct function of increasing time of exposure to ozone, thus demonstrating the killing effect of ozone in water. Similar results were obtained using a spore suspension of B. stearothermophilus. Water suspensions of bacterial spores were chosen because they are the most resistant form of microbes known, even more resistant than oocysts of Cryptosporidium and cysts of Giardia, neither of which is inactivated by chlorine.
Ozone is, of course, effective against enteric pathogens. For example, adding 3.2 ppm 03 to a test culture kills 1.95�106 cells/mL of E. coli in 1 minute and kills 1.5�106 cells/mL of P. aeruginosa in 1 minute.
An ozone generator was used to study the effects of ozonated tetrasilver tetroxide (OTT) on E. coli K12 Survival. The ozone generator for all of the examples was a Model CD-1B generator supplied by AQUA-FLO, Inc., 6244 Frankford Ave., Baltimore, Md. 21206. Ozone was generated from oxygen supplied from a tank with oxygen purity of more than 99.9%. The generator was fitted with a voltage regulator and an oxygen flow regulator which enabled the oxygen flow/voltage parameters to be precisely set so that the desired concentration of ozone could be maintained continuously or a given level attained and allowed to revert back to oxygen based on its half-life. When oxygen flowed through the generator, high voltage converted it to ozone, which was bubbled into water. Excess (head) ozone passed through a platinum catalyst that converted it back to oxygen.
By use of toggle switches, the ozone was directed through glass spargers into either of two specially designed 2-liter Erlenmeyer flasks containing 1 liter of water. Either a solution of a test chemical or a suspension of microorganisms or both could be introduced into the flasks via tubes at the top which passed through a rubber stopper (which seals off the system). Samples could be withdrawn at the bottom of the flask by opening a stopcock.
Ozone concentrations were measured by a chemical oxidation of indigo dye by using an indigo dye calorimeter manufactured by HACH, Inc.
Water containing 6 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide was ozonated with 3 ppm ozone for 15 minutes, followed by 40 minutes of vigorous aeration to remove ozone from the water. The ozone concentration was measured by a HACH POCKET COLORIMETER using ACCUVAC ampules by the indigo dye oxidation method. The initial ozone concentration of 3.0 mg/L (i.e:, 3 ppm) was reduced to 0.09 mg/L after 40 minutes of aeration and was further reduced to undetectable levels before the ozone-activated tetrasilver tetroxide solution was used to challenge E. coli K12.
E. coli overnight cultures were challenged with either 3.0 or 6.0 ppm of ozone-activated (i.e., ozonated) tetrasilver tetroxide and plated onto TSA after each exposure time. The results are tabulated in Table 3.
This example demonstrates that the antimicrobial effect of tetrasilver tetroxide can be activated by ozone, and persists after separation of the ozone from the tetrasilver tetroxide.
6 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide was ozonated in water at an ozone concentration of 5.7 ppm for 16 minutes and aerated vigorously for 30 minutes to provide a final ozone level of 0.03 ppm. An E. coli K12 overnight culture (22 hours) was then treated with 0, 1, 2 or 6 ppm of the activated tetrasilver tetroxide for 0, 10, 20 or 30 min. The results are tabulated in Table 4.
6 ppm of tetrasilver tetroxide was ozonated at an ozone concentration of 6.6 ppm for 16 min in water and vigorously aerated for 30 minutes to provide a final ozone concentration of 0.04 ppm. An E. coli K12 overnight culture (22 hours) was then treated with 1 or 2 ppm of the activated tetrasilver tetroxide for 0, 10, 20 or 30 min. The results are tabulated in Table 5.
Bacillus subtilus spore suspensions in water were challenged with 2 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide and 0.3 2 ppm ozone to evaluate the killing efficacy of the combination. The survival rate over time was measured by MALS, AODC and counting colony forming units at 24 hours. The results are tabulated in Table 6. The resulting MALS graphs are shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 shows a reduction in the log intensity as function of increasing time of exposure to ozone and tetrasilver tetroxide, thus demonstrating the antimicrobial effect of ozonated tetrasilver tetroxide in water.
FIG. 3 is a MALS graph showing the antimicrobial effects of:
(a) a sixty-minute treatment with 2 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide;
(b) a twenty-minute treatment with 0.3 ppm ozone; and
(c) a twenty-minute treatment with 0.3 ppm ozone and 2 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide. The tetrasilver tetroxide alone (a) was little more effective than the untreated control (d). Twenty minutes of ozone alone (b) produced a significant killing effect, but the combination of ozone and tetrasilver tetroxide (c) was much more potent than either compound alone.
Without wishing to be bound by any theories, it appears that in addition to acting as a killing agent in its own right, ozone is surprisingly able to activate the antimicrobial activity of tetrasilver tetroxide, thus yielding a synergistic killing effect exceeding the individual killing effects of either non-activated tetrasilver tetroxide or ozone.
6.1 mg/L (6.1 ppm) of ozone was provided in deionized, distilled water over a 15 minute period. The solution was allowed to stand with stirring by a magnetic stirrer over a 24-hour period, taking periodic readings of the ozone concentration. By 2 hours, the ozone concentration was 3 ppm and progressively dropped to 0.01 ppm by 18 hours. This represented a half-life of approximately 2 hours. When 2 ppm tetrasilver tetroxide was added, the rate of decay was unexpectedly lengthened, such that 0.12 ppm of ozone was present after 18 hours (approximately an order of magnitude higher than would have been expected in the absence of tetrasilver tetroxide) and by 24 hours, 0.03 ppm of ozone oxidizing activity was still present.
Further research showed that neither tetrasilver tetroxide alone nor chemically-activated tetrasilver tetroxide (i.e., activated with potassium monopersulfate as described in the Comparative Examples) gave measurable oxidation as measured by the indigo dye method. Thus, the reduced half-life of ozone in the presence of tetrasilver tetroxide does not appear to be merely an additive effect or an experimental flaw arising from the use of the indigo dye method, but rather appears to be a surprising synergistic effect.
While the invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific examples thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.

Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist

In addition to the prison sentence, Specialist Glendale C Walls was on Tuesday reduced in rank and pay and will receive a bad-conduct discharge. Walls pleaded guilty earlier in the day to dereliction of duty and assault. He admitted that he stood by as former Sergeant Selena M Salcedo lifted a detainee known as Dilawar by his ear when the two worked at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.
Walls also admitted to pushing Dilawar against a wall during the interrogation.He said he also stood by as a third military intelligence soldier, former Specialist Joshua R Claus, made another detainee roll around on the floor and kiss Walls' boots.
Dilawar was detained during December 2002 and died the same month.Pay cut sought
Prosecutors had sought a sentence of six months' confinement, a six-month, 75% pay cut, the demotion and the bad-conduct discharge. The maximum sentence Walls could have faced was 12 months confinement, a 75% pay cut for 12 months, a reduction in rank and a bad-conduct discharge.
The Afghan detainee in question died in December 2002Walls' attorney asked for a letter of reprimand and reduction in rank. Salcedo pleaded guilty to similar charges this month. Tearfully apologising for her conduct, she told a military judge that Walls was with her when she mistreated Dilawar and that Walls had pushed Dilawar.
The Afghan detainee in question died in December 2002
Salcedo will be demoted, given a letter of reprimand and ordered to forfeit $250 a month for four months. Claus has announced his intention to plead guilty in the abuse cases and is scheduled to stand trial in September. At least six other enlisted soldiers have been accused of mistreating Dilawar a little more than a week after arriving at the detention centre in Bagram.
False statement
The most serious charges were levied against Private First Class Willie V Brand, a reservist and military police officer, who initially was charged with Dilawar's death.A military jury convicted Brand last week of assault, maltreatment, maiming and making a false official statement.
Bagram has served as a US basesince the post-9/11 invasionThe same jury spared Brand jail time, instead ordering that he be reduced in rank and pay to a private, the army's lowest rank. Specialist Brian E Cammack pleaded guilty in May to abuse charges and was sentenced to three months in prison.
Bagram has served as a US basesince the post-9/11 invasion
Cammack testified against Brand. Sergeant James P Boland, also a reservist from Ohio, was given a letter of reprimand citing him for dereliction of duty for his work at Bagram.
Boland, who has left the army, was initially charged with chaining Dilawar's hands above his head and other abuse charges.

A short talk at APIStrat in Amsterdam about the joind.in API.
Git Flow vs Github Flow
I had the privilege of taking ownership of the head-to-head column this month in net, and I pitted git flow against github flow for a full comparison of these two branching strategies.
You can get a single edition if you want to read it: http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/design/net-magazine-back-issues/net-april-14-issue-252/
Debugging HTTP
A remake of previous editions of this talk, I was privileged to have the opportunity to give it this time on the main stage at PHPUK. Great event, great atmosphere, great people :)
Feedback: http://joind.in/talk/view/10702
Create a Dashboard Using Guzzle
A hands-on tutorial for netmag, this was a fun project to build a dashboard giving insights to a project by using Guzzle to pull data from GitHub's API and display it. It's a walk through of how to create something like this using guzzle, starting with HTML5 Boilerplate to give a nice, clean look, then putting the flash on those bones with data from github.
It's in Issue 251, March 2014 - you can get back issues here: http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/design/net-magazine-back-issues/net-march-14-issue-251/
The Pains and Gains of Upgrading PHP
Basically: "would everyone please upgrade to a currently-supported version of PHP". This talk covers the new features and performance improvements in PHP 5.3, PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5, and gives some approachable advice on how to handle upgrading between them. This talk was delivered to my local user group and they asked some good questions!
Git, GitHub and Open Source
A talk about git, github, and the difference between the two, with a sprinkling of open source contribution cheerleading thrown in to make it hang together. I am not a drupal user but I've had some great experiences being made to feel welcome at drupal events so I was delighted to pop over to my local DrupalCamp and deliver this session. There is video as well as my slides and a joind.in rating:
