Price goes eight innings as Rays blank White Sox
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) David Price finally found success against the Chicago White Sox.
Price allowed four hits in eight dominant innings and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the slumping White Sox 5-0 on Monday night.
BOX SCORE: Rays 5, White Sox 0
"Price was outstanding," Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said. "They played defense behind him very well. When you're pitching that way and you make plays behind him, it's hard to beat them."
Price (2-2) struck out nine and walked two. The left-hander entered 0-4 with a 4.88 ERA in four starts against the White Sox.
"It was a big game for me. ... The White Sox have had my number ever since I've been in the big leagues," Price said. "A very tough team to pitch against, and they've got a lot of right-handed hitters that put the bat on the ball. It's tough and it's fun."
Felipe Lopez (FSY) homered and drove in three runs, helping Tampa Bay win for sixth time in seven games. Ben Zobrist (FSY) had a two-run homer.
Edwin Jackson (FSY) (2-1) gave up four runs and 11 hits in seven innings for the White Sox, who have lost five in a row. Jackson, while with Arizona, walked eight during a 149-pitch no-hitter against Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field last June 25.
Joel Peralta (FSY) pitched the ninth to complete the four-hitter.
"We know we're going to hit," Guillen said. "I don't worry about that."
Any chance of a repeat performance by Jackson ended when leadoff hitter Sam Fuld (FSY) singled to start the Rays' three-run first.
After Lopez drove in Fuld with a single, Zobrist made it 3-0 on his two-run shot. Zobrist had just one hit in 13 at-bats over his previous five games.
Fuld had four hits and made a diving catch in center field during the third to take away a hit from Brent Morel. Rays shortstop Reid Brignac (FSY) threw out Ramon Castro (FSY) at first after making a diving stop on a second-inning grounder.
"Couldn't have done it without all the defensive plays," Price said.
Jackson worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the second by striking out Elliot Johnson (FSY). The right-hander, who pitched for the Rays from 2006-08, had won all three previous starts against his former team, including a 5-1 victory over Price on April 7 in Chicago.
"Jackson threw the ball pretty good," Guillen said. "We just didn't score any runs."
Tampa Bay went up 4-0 on Lopez's fifth-inning double. Lopez also had a solo homer off Matt Thornton (FSY) in the eighth.
Designated hitter Johnny Damon (FSY) (bruised left ring finger), center fielder B.J. Upton (FSY) (rest) and first baseman Dan Johnson (FSY) (sore left wrist) were all out of the Rays' starting lineup.
NOTES: Chicago RHP Jake Peavy (FSY) (right shoulder) lasted just two-thirds of an inning in a rehab start with Class AA Birmingham. The White Sox said he left with discomfort — where it was located was not disclosed — and will be evaluated Tuesday. Peavy allowed three runs and four hits. ... Rays All-Star 3B Evan Longoria (FSY) (strained left oblique) could start a minor league rehab assignment next week and return to the lineup during a series against the Los Angeles Angels that begins April 29. ... White Sox DH Adam Dunn (FSY), in a 2-for-23 slide, was not in the lineup against the left-handed Price. ... Chicago LHP Chris Sale (FSY), who grew up in nearby Lakeland, attended Tampa Bay's first game on March 31, 1998, when he was 9.

Tottenham fans are delighted on Twitter with new signing Victor Wanyama after he played an integral part in Tuesday night's Champions League triumph.
The combative holding midfielder was in excellent form for the North London side, as they saw off Russian giants CSKA Moscow 1-0 thanks to Heung-Min Son's second-half strike.
Mauricio Pochettino's side kept a clean sheet against their Group E rivals, and a lot of that was down to the effort put in by the Kenya captain despite being on a yellow card from the 11th minute.
Spurs held firm in Russia despite a late onslaught by the Leonid Slutsky's side, with Wanyama expertly marshalling the space between the Spurs defence and midfield.
Fans were impressed by their new signing, who has settled in well at White Hart Lane following his £11million move from Premier League side Southampton.
Here are a selection of their tweets:
Victor Wanyama was an absolute steal at £11m.
— Sean Conopo (@SeanConopo) September 28, 2016
First win and strong away performance. Loving @VictorWanyama mopping up and N'Koudou causing havoc. Could still go far in this season's CL
— Gregory_Mills (@Gregory_Mills1) September 28, 2016
@VictorWanyama @ErikLamela Wanyama what a player you are! Lost this without you last season!!
— tobywallace (@tobywallace5) September 28, 2016
@SpursOfficial @VictorWanyama he was outstanding today! So far our best player this season with Son! #COYS
— Nkoudxu ♛ (@xTaiGaa) September 28, 2016
@VictorWanyama beast ?
— Rush Nair (@RushNair10) September 28, 2016
@VictorWanyama top class performance, well played!
— Mat Brooks (@matbrooks80) September 27, 2016
Another player that as excellent was @VictorWanyama, he had a fantastic second half – CSKA couldn't get the ball past the Kenyan wall!
— Luke Tomlin (@luketomlin) September 28, 2016
Given that he had to play 80 mins with a yellow card to his name, Wanyama's performance was impeccable. Shields the ball so well. #THFC
— Callum (@_Cxllxm_) September 27, 2016
Former Celtic midfielder Wanyama has already endeared himself to Spurs fans after a string of impressive performances, as well as scoring the winner against Crystal Palace last month.
The win in Moscow was Spurs' fourth consecutive win, after beating the likes of Middlesbrough, Gillingham and Sunderland.
Pochettino's side will now be looking to make that five on Sunday, but will face a huge uphill task as they host Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
In other Tottenham news, this new signing has posted an amusing message on Twitter.

|Re: Apache Flex in Github
|Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:41:40 GMT
This seems like a great way to manage changes to Flex while giving people complete freedom to fiddle with it. The danger can come, at some point in the future, from git repositories that contain features not compatible with Apache Flex. I would think this could be handled by making sure Apache Flex is known to be the true version and if you are not a developer, just be aware that if you are taking Flex from some other git repository you do so at your own risk. In other words, if there come to be a bunch of 3rd party IDEs that use Apache Flex and you go and snag a copy of Flex from someone's personal git repository, you run the risk of that Flex SDK not working with your IDE. But I think those things just work themselves out; a vibrant developer community will probably keep such a thing in check. >From what I've been reading about git, this fits perfectly well with how git works and should make everyone's life easier once it gets underway, plus it lets Apache Flex work the "Apache Way". --peter On 8/20/12 3:27 PM, "Carlos Rovira" <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: >You understand perfectly Peter :) > >2012/8/20 Peter Ent <firstname.lastname@example.com> > >> If I mayŠ >> >> 1.

Work details
The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is an amazing story that spans 44 years beginning in 1968, when the "feeble minded" were tossed away into institutions with horrible living situations. It is a love story but not one like you have ever read. When you start reading about Homan and Lynnie, be sure you have time to read as you will not want to put this book down.
I enjoyed reading this novel, but I much preferred Simon's other book, Riding the Bus with My Sister.
I enjoyed this book. It has four main characters: Lynnie, Homan/No. 42, Martha and Julia. Lynnie and Homan are in a school where parents can stick their kids if they don't want to take care of them because they are different. Lynnie is developmentally challenged. The story starts in the 1960 where families just couldn't cope with disabled children and so they stuck them into "schools" that were not very desirable but a lot of the public didn't know how bad the schools were. The book takes us on the journey of the characters and their struggles through the years. Homan just wants to get back to Lynnie but he is deaf and doesn't know sign language so he can't convey to people what he wants so he just kind of goes with the flow. Lynnie eventually learns to speak again and get stronger as a person after the cruelty she endured at the school including being raped and having a child who she gives to Martha to protect and hide. There wasn't much about Julia in the book as she grows up and we lose track of Martha halfway through the book. I did appreciate when the author switched narrative voices that she let us know by having each chapter with the character's name and with the year. It did start out pretty dramatically and then seemed to slow down and then quickly ended. I would have liked to have had more flushing out of Julia and Martha. I would have liked to have known how Julia coped after the age of 14. But over all, it was a good read.
It is 1968 and developmental handicapped Lynnie and Homan, an African American deaf man are institutionalized at the School for the Incurable and Feebleminded. They manage to escape to the farmhouse of retired teacher , Martha. As the orderlies take Lynnie back, she tells Martha to protect her baby.
Simon, who wrote so sensitively about disability in her memoir Riding the Bus With My Sister, often skirts schmaltz in The Story of Beautiful Girl, but she manages to steer her reader toward the truly stirring.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0446574465, Hardcover)It is 1968. Lynnie, a young white woman with a developmental disability, and Homan, an African American deaf man, are locked away in an institution, the School for the Incurable and Feebleminded, and have been left to languish, forgotten. Deeply in love, they escape, and find refuge in the farmhouse of Martha, a retired schoolteacher and widow. But the couple is not alone-Lynnie has just given birth to a baby girl. When the authorities catch up to them that same night, Homan escapes into the darkness, and Lynnie is caught. But before she is forced back into the institution, she whispers two words to Martha: "Hide her." And so begins the 40-year epic journey of Lynnie, Homan, Martha, and baby Julia-lives divided by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, yet drawn together by a secret pact and extraordinary love.
Exclusive Essay from Rachel Simon
When The Story of Beautiful Girl came out, I kept getting asked two questions. Why was I drawn to writing disability-themed literature? And was it hard to write from the point of view of characters with disabilities?
My answer to the first question begins with this basic fact: for one month every year, I am a twin.
My sister Beth, who has an intellectual disability, was born eleven months after me. So every year when I visit her for her birthday, the first thing we both say is, "Now we're twins!" And for the next thirty days, as she gleefully moves through her days wearing the Tweety Bird shirts and using the Scooby Doo stickers I bought for her big celebration, we are indeed twins. Then my birthday rolls around, and when I visit her for that admittedly more secondary occasion, and she thrusts dozens of handmade cards at me, all of which express her happiness at my coming to see her, the first thing we both say is, "Now we're not twins."
As with any siblings who are so close in age, we've shared a lot: parents, a brother and sister, a challenging family history, bedrooms, opinions, dreams, tears, jokes, anxieties, secrets, unspoken understandings, and sideways glances. So I have a reasonably good sense of how my sister feels, what she thinks, who she cares about, and why she does what she does.
Of course, there are additional layers to our relationship because of her disability. I feel a sense of responsibility toward her and she feels a level of trust in me. We've both always known that, whenever necessary, I will act as a go-between: I will explain to her the things she doesn't understand about the world, and I will explain to the world the things it doesn't understand about her.
At the same time, since she is a person with a disability, I've spent my life noticing--and being annoyed at--how so much of the world has got it all wrong when it comes to my sister and others like her. How she gets ignored by waitresses, snickered at by teenagers, patronized by people who assume she's helpless, underestimated by people who assume she's angelic. In addition, I've pondered many of the deepest issues about the mind. What is universal about intelligence? About sorrow and longing? About pleasure and love? On top of all this, I've long wondered: Why does so much of the public just not get it? And how, given that some people like my sister never get seen or acknowledged or heard by the world, might that ever change?
In 2002, I tried to do what I could to answer those thoughts. I wrote a memoir about my relationship with Beth, Riding The Bus With My Sister, which is about both her present-day passion of riding city buses and our lives as siblings from birth to middle age. The book, which was also adapted for a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie by the same name, led to my getting asked to give talks around the country. At every talk, I met more and more people with disabilities, their family members, and the professionals who work with them. They told me their stories, and I started to feel a new urge. I wanted to do whatever I could to give voice to those who had never been heard.
I realized I was in an unusual position to take on that responsibility. As a family member, I wouldn't get bogged down by cliches and stereotypes. As someone who'd already published two books of fiction before Riding The Bus With My Sister, I wouldn't have to stick with nonfiction, nor was I daunted by the idea of a novel. As a sister who'd stood up for Beth since the day I was conscious of my own existence, I felt a sense of mission. And as a once-a-year twin, I had developed the skill of being a go-between.
This gets me to the second question. Was it hard to write The Story of Beautiful Girl through the eyes of characters with disabilities?
I wish I could say it took a huge amount of effort. But there's another word that's synonymous with being a go-between: being a translator. I've spent my life translating the world into terms my sister could comprehend--and translating my sister into terms the world could comprehend.
So when I sat down to write the characters of Beautiful Girl and Number Forty-Two, I just did what I've always done. I wrote about the world's rules and injustices and rewards and irrationalities as those characters would perceive them. And I wrote about their wonderings and yearnings and motivations and joys in ways that readers would understand.
Neither character is like my sister. And both go through adversity and anguish the likes of which my sister has never seen. But I wouldn't say that writing their experiences was hard for me.
I would say, instead, that it was heart-opening and soul-deepening.
I would say, instead, that it was fun.

Welcome to Queer Mongol!
I'm a strong believer that the Mongolian LGBT community as a whole needs not only visibility for the public acceptance of our identities, but also unity within itself – unity within the lesbians as well as unity of lesbian group(s) with other queer groups and non-governmental organizations in Mongolia. Since 1999 advent of the LGBT grassroots organizing through the milestone Tavilan Org, there had been a few sporadic efforts to provide services and information targeting the entire LGBT community, one of the first and last ones, perhaps, the Tavilan LGBT hotline that operated between November 2000 to February 2001, on which I had the privilege to work with other comrades-in-arm, B. and Z., my gay male friends, who since have gone onto other engagements in life, but one of whom is still involved in the gay male community organizing informally. Another officially registered Mongolian non-governmental organization, Youth for Health, has been functioning since May 2003, primarily targeting gay men and MSM's sexual health. It is very sad to see and recognize the fact that since Tavilan, there had been no united LGBT rights oriented officially registered NGO, if one discounts the community group MILC. The brief rise and fall of the Mongolian Lesbian Information and Community Center (MILC) in 2004 has seen enormous ambition on the part of the founding members in its goals aimed at providing safe space, comprehensive library, bilingual website, documentation of Mongolian LGBT situation, archiving of oral history and campaign for the LGBT human rights and civil liberties in Mongolia through printed and electronic means. However, the community group's funding ran out after eight months and due to absence of committed lesbians to carry on the cause that is directly related to our lives as gay people in Mongolia on the whole, the MILC now remains as a virtual NGO/community space through the mongoldyke website and its mailing list. Had MILC been able to sustain its physical activities, the Center would have continued the worthy cause of united Mongolian Queer Movement that was initiated by Tavilan in 1999. Most certainly, Tavilan in 1999, Youth for Health in 2003 and MILC in 2004 all constitute turning points in gay history of Mongolia and milestone efforts to begin writing gay chronicles. However, as I said before, as a queer community, we still need to realize the political importance of cooperation with various segments within our own very various, queer community(ies), whereupon we shall be able to fight for our dignity and acceptance in Mongolia in one strong, unwavering voice. This is a blog created by me, Webdyke/O.N.A., for all queer identified Mongolians to enable each and everyone of us to have a say in determining what's important to us as a whole, what we need to do now and in future to gain our visibility, dignified and fearless existence in Mongolia, where our challenges, weaknesses and strengths lie, what our concerns, both personal and political, are, where our hearts and dreams are. It is time some of us, who pretend to be apolitical, but who, in fact, are into petty personal delusions of megalomania and power play, got a life and saw the truth: we, as Mongolian LGBT, can bring about much needed change in society only through united action and agenda! I hope other queer folks of Mongolia do join this effort to create the first community blog and post their opinions, events, announcements, etc. Welcome home, welcome to your own queer space!

This application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. Ser. No. 08/696,624 filed Aug. 14, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,667,564.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention involves the field of electronic air purification and, more specifically, a miniature device that generates a corona discharge to detoxify, and circulate air around an individual's face.
2. Description of Related Art
The present invention represents an improvement to the instant inventor's earlier invention entitled "Miniature Air Purifier" filed Feb. 6, 1995, and now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 5,484,472. That patent describes a miniature wearable unit that directs a current of ionized air towards the face of a wearer to help prevent the inhalation of various toxins and irritants that are increasingly present in our environment. For a summary of various earlier approaches to the problems of ameliorating contaminated air, the reader is directed to that earlier patent which is incorporated herein by reference.
The problem of air pollution can hardly be overstated. It has been variously estimated that as many as 80 million Americans suffer from air pollution that results in large numbers of premature deaths each year. It has been reported that children growing up in especially polluted areas like the Los Angeles basin end up with permanently damaged lungs. The problem may be even more acute in large cities of the Third World where environmental controls are more lax than in the United States. While increased governmental regulation poses one solution to the danger, what are affected individuals to do in the meantime? One can install various home air purifying devices, but this does no good when one has to travel about away from the home.
The present inventor has previously offered a portable air purifier as a solution. This earlier miniature air purifier was characterized by its small size allowing it to be worn clipped to one's clothing or on a cord about one's neck. However, the need to incorporate fairly complex electronic circuit board including two inductor components resulted in the unit having a dimension of at least 21/2�4�1 inches and weighing at least 7 oz. The circuit of that device required a significant current flow from the battery, which considerably limited battery life. Typically, the unit would operate for about 10-15 hours using a fresh alkaline battery.
The primary routes of air purification in the earlier air purifier were chemical destruction of pollutants by ozone and the corona discharge and electrostatic precipitation of particulates as a result of charging by negative ions. The primary source of air flow was a mass air flow due to acceleration of negatively ionized air molecules towards a grounded metallic grid.
Because ozone can be irritating to the respiratory system, it is desirable to provide a more effective corona discharge for destroying a wider range of chemical pollutants while, at the same time, limiting the amount of ozone emitted. There remains a considerable need for a miniature air purifier that is very efficient at producing a corona discharge for better removal of pollutants and longer battery life with minimal emission of ozone.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a miniature air purifier that can operate for about 50 to 60 hours on a typical nine-volt alkaline battery;
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a miniature air purifier with a simplified circuit using only a single inductive component to reduce the size and weight as well as the cost of the device and to reduce generation of radio frequency interference;
It is a still further object of the present invention to optimize corona discharge purification to maximize killing of pathogens, oxidize the toxins produced by the pathogens, detoxification of chemical pollutants, and neutralization of allergens while minimizing release of ozone; and
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide an small wearable air purifier that includes an alternative embodiment that also precleans air by means of pollutant and pathogen filters prior to the corona discharge.
These and additional objects are met by a miniature air purifier that produces a corona discharge around an emitter point connected to a novel 8,000-volt DC power supply. The power supply operates from a single nine-volt battery and contains a step-up voltage inverter having a single transformer and a voltage multiplier operating on the output of the inverter. The needle-like emitter point is located about 1/4-inch from an 80% open mesh metallic grid held at ground potential. A corona discharge surrounds the emitter point and produces ionized air as well as destroying pathogens and pollutants with ozone and direct electron impact decomposition. The grid attracts ionized air molecules, thereby creating a mass flow of purified air out of the device, and also provides a surface for electroprecipitation of particulates. An alternative embodiment uses a miniature brushless DC fan to draw room air through a pathogen and pollutant removing filter. The filtered air is exposed to the corona discharge for additional purification and then accelerated out of the device by the emitter point and grid.
The objects and features of the present invention, which are believed to be novel, are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation, together with further objects and advantages, may best be understood by reference to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective drawing of the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows an alternate embodiment of the device of FIG. 1 with a fan;
FIG. 3 shows a diagrammatic representation of the operation of the device of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 shows a diagram of an electronic circuit of the present invention;
FIG. 5 shows a cut-away view of the embodiment of FIG. 2 showing the flow of air;
FIG. 6 is a graphic diagram of the voltage spikes produced by the circuit of FIG. 4;
FIG. 7 is a graph showing the destruction of air borne bacteria by the present invention;
FIG. 8 is a prospective view of a modification of the air purifier for use with food products;
FIG. 9 is a partial prospective view of the hood of FIG. 8; and
FIG. 10 is a prospective view of an alternative hand held wand-type of sterilizer.
The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention and sets forth the best modes contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention. Various modifications, however, will remain readily apparent to those skilled in the art, since the generic principles of the present invention have been defined herein specifically to provide a miniature air purifier with improved efficiency and reduced size.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective drawing of one embodiment of an air purifier 10 of the present invention cut away to show interior construction. It is shown next to an outline 25 of a conventional pager to indicate the unit size. This represents a considerably smaller package than that provided by this inventor's earlier invention or of any other portable air purifier of which this inventor is aware. The unit is generally rectangular with an ON/OFF switch 18 and a connector 19 for an AC battery adapter. The miniature electronics of the unit 10 are powered by a conventional nine-volt alkaline battery when the adapter is not connected.
The upper end of the unit 10 bears an opening 23 covered by a metallic grid 24 through which the purified air exits. A metallic needle-like emitter point 26 is mounted on a high voltage circuit module 32 and is located about 1/4-inch below the grid 24. In use air near the emitter point 26 becomes ionized by a corona discharge developed by a high voltage (about 8 kV) supplied by the high voltage circuit module 32. It is important to note that while prior art devices, including the present inventor's earlier air purifier, generally use higher voltages, i.e., 15 kV or higher, it was unexpectedly discovered during the development of the present invention that lower voltages, i.e., below about 10 kV, yield a vigorous corona discharge and mass air flow while producing a dramatically lower level of ozone. Further, those of ordinary skill in the art will realize that either a positive or negative high voltage can be used to produce a corona discharge. The electronic circuits described below can be configured to produce either positive or negative high voltage. The unit operates adequately with either positive or negative corona discharge.
The metallic grid 24 is preferably nickel plated with about 80% open area and is held at ground potential relative to the emitter point 26 so that ions produced in the corona discharge are accelerated towards the grid 24. This results in a mass flow of air (i.e., the ionized molecules pull along a large number of nonionized molecules by means of cohesive forces) which propels the purified air out through openings (large arrows) in the grid 24. As purified air exits and is propelled towards the face of the wearer, room air (dotted arrows) is drawn in at the sides of the opening 23. At the same time the corona discharge provides ionizing energy and ozone to chemically destroy pollutants or pathogens through electron (plasma) impact decomposition. By adjusting the process to produce less ozone one is better able to balance ozone to average pollutant load. The majority of ozone is consumed reacting with pollutants before the air exits the purifier 10. Particulate matter produced during this destruction process is usually charged so that it is accelerated towards and precipitates on the metallic grid 24.
As a further improvement in reducing the emission of ozone, it is possible to coat the metallic grid 24 with a layer of Manganese Chloride, MN CL2, or Manganese Dioxide, MN O2, to act as a catalyst in converting the ozone into oxygen. It is believed that such a coating can further reduce the ozone level by 20% to 30%.
FIG. 2 shows a perspective drawing of an alternate embodiment of the air purifier 10'. This unit is the same size as the unit of FIG. 1 and uses the same improved electronics that will be explained below. The major difference between this unit 10' and the unit 10 of FIG. 1 is the ability of this alternate embodiment to utilize modern filtering materials to remove pollutants and pathogens prior to the corona discharge. The unit is of the same dimensions as the unit of FIG. 2 but also has an air intake 12 on one of its larger side surfaces. The air intake 12 is covered by a removable filter 14 held in place by a strip 16 of VELCRO� hook and loop fastener or some similar fastening system. Like the device of FIG. 1, unit 10' also has an ON/OFF switch 18 and a connector 19 for a battery adapter and is powered by a conventional nine-volt alkaline battery cell 22.
While the mass flow of air provided by the corona discharge is adequate to propel a stream of purified air out of the device, as explained in relation to FIG. 1, the inventor has found that the discharge mediated flow is generally not sufficient to pull air through a particulate or pollutant removing filter. Therefore, a miniature fan 15 has been provided. This fan is preferably one of the DC brushless types and operates at a low speed and uses very little power because its only task is to move air through the filter 14. Alternatively, a piezoelectric fan can be substituted for the brushless DC fan. FIG. 3 shows a simple diagram of the filter 14, fan 15, and emitter point 26 arrangement. Air is drawn through the filter 14 by the fan 15. The filtered air is then ionized by the emitter point 26 and is accelerated towards the grid 26. In nonportable prior art devices, fans have been used to move air through filters and propel it out of the device. Such powerful fans consume too much electricity for use in a portable device. The present inventor has found a low power alternative which uses the fan solely to pull air through the filter. The filtered air is then accelerated out of the device by the corona discharge.
The filter 14 can contain any of a number of filter materials. A HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter can be used to remove both particulates and pathogens. Other popular filtering material such as glass wool or polyvinyl acetal sponge can be advantageously used to remove particulates and pathogens. Alternatively, a filter impregnated with a germicidal agent such as iodine can be used for pathogen inactivation. An activated carbon filter such as those of activated coconut charcoal can be included to remove chemical pollutants. Zeolite filtering materials can also be used to efficiently remove pollutants. All that is necessary is to ensure that the filter material is sufficiently porous that the fan 15 is able to pull sufficient air through the filter 15.
While the optional filter 14 directly absorbs particulates and toxic materials, the corona discharge actually destroys many pollutants not trapped by the filter 15. A corona discharge is an unusually powerful oxidizing source. Ozone produced by the discharge is chemically very active and oxidizes many pollutant chemicals and also inactivates pathogens and allergens. Besides ozone-mediated oxidation, there is tremendous destruction of airborne chemicals by direct electron (plasma) impact decomposition within the corona discharge. Particulates passing through the discharge without being incinerated become charged so they precipitate out on grounded surfaces like the metallic grid 24. Organic chemical decomposed by the corona discharge often yield particles of carbon that also precipitate out on the grid 24. In actual operation the discharge-facing surface of the grid 24 often becomes blackened and coated with precipitated and oxidized material. An advantage of using a filter to remove some of the organic pollutants prior to the corona discharge is that this prevents some of the precipitation on the grid 24 thereby extending the period of time between grid cleaning.
During the development of the present device the inventor discovered that it is important to adjust the rate of air movement through the corona discharge to obtain optimum destruction of pollutants. If the air moves too rapidly, the pollutants do not spend sufficient time in the discharge to ensure their destruction. The rate of air movement is affected by the potential difference and the geometrical relationship between the emitter point 26 and the grid 24. In the case of the embodiment with the fan 15, it is important to adjust the fan 15 and the filter 14 so that that the air is not propelled too rapidly through the corona discharge. With the present geometry and accelerating voltage the optimum rate of air flow out of the grid is about 50 ft/min. At lower flow rates the expelled air may not reach the user's face. At higher flow rates there is insufficient residence time in the corona discharge to obtain optimal destruction of pollutants.
FIG. 4 shows a circuit diagram of the miniature electronics of the high voltage circuit board 32. This circuit allows the unit 10 to be very small and light while also providing unusually long battery life. While it is desirable to have ozone present in the corona discharge zone so as to help inactivate chemicals and microbes, the potential for ozone-caused irritation of mucous membranes makes it desirable to minimize the number of ozone molecules that actually reach the wearer of the unit. In experimenting with the prototypes of the present invention in an effort to balance air flow and battery life, the present inventor made a surprising discovery concerning ozone generation. When current flow into the high voltage generation system is limited and the high voltage kept below about 10 kV, and preferably at no more than about negative 8 kV, the level of emitted ozone drops dramatically without significantly impacting the mass air flow at the grid 24. This reduction of ozone production results in the electron impact effect of the corona discharge predominating.
The unit contains a ferrite transformer T1 33 having a primary coil 35 and a secondary coil 37 with a secondary/primary ratio of about 350/1. Current flow from the battery 22 (by way of S1 18) through the primary coil 35 is controlled by an NPN transistor Q1 36, such as low voltage Toshiba C 3279. The transistor 36 and transformer 33 form a step-up voltage inverter which converts battery DC into AC at a higher voltage. As current begins to flow from the battery 22, through the primary coil 35 and the transistor 36, it creates a rising magnetic field which induces a first rising voltage in the secondary coil 37. The winding ratio results in the voltage being multiplied to range between 0 and about 2,000 volts, while the primary voltage varies between 0 and 9 volts. The gate 42 of the transistor 36 is attached to a center tap 44 on the transformer 33. The rising voltage at the center tap 44 eventually causes the transistor 36 to switch off the current flow through the primary coil 35, causing the magnetic field in the secondary coil 37 to collapse.
The collapse of the magnetic field in the transformer T1 33 induces a second voltage, of the opposite polarity to the first voltage, in the secondary coil 37. The present inventor has found that using a resistance-capacitance network to shape the alternating current produced by the secondary coil 37 can dramatically alter the power consumption of the overall circuit. Resistors R1 (variable resistor to tune the circuit), and R2 and capacitors C8 59, and C9 60, and C7 58 adjust the circuit from one that would produce a sinusoidal voltage at Point A 34 to one that produces a series of high voltage spikes. The voltage at Point A 34 varies in polarity from about +2 kV to about -2 kV volts at a frequency of about 200 Hz. Because the output is voltage spikes, the circuit draws only about 10 mA so that a nine-volt battery lasts for about 60 hours. This frequency also appears to be important at getting minimal ozone production while maximizing the other effects of the corona discharge. FIG. 6 illustrates the high voltage spikes produced by the circuit. The output consists of pulses or spikes wherein each spike actually consists of a high voltage burst of about 50 microsecond duration every 5 msec. The tuning circuit mentioned above effectively performs pulse position modulation with a higher frequency of pulses consuming more current and resulting in a higher air flow. R1 57 can be adjusted for each unit so that the optimal pulse frequency of about 200 Hz can be set despite component variations from circuit board to circuit board.
The high voltage spikes are fed into a high voltage multiplier 38. The illustrated circuit is configured as a negative high voltage multiplier, but the circuit can also be configured as a positive high voltage multiplier. The presently preferred design of the multiplier 38 acts as a voltage sextupler with multiple stages and a final pulsating output voltage of about -8 kV at Point B 46. The high voltage multiplier 38 has stages containing high voltage (8 kV) diodes (D1-D6), and 6 kV, 100 pF ceramic capacitors (C2-C6). A specially selected hot melt adhesive is used to comformationally coat the high voltage circuits to prevent inappropriate corona discharge and to encapsulate the system against moisture and other environmental factors. This treatment significantly reduces energy requirements further adding to overall increase of battery life. This encapsulation results in much lower finished device weight (an important factor for wearability) than conventional epoxy potting techniques.
The high voltage produced by the multiplier 38 is connected to the emitter point 26 by relaxation oscillator 52 which consists of a capacitor C10 54 (0.015 mF) and a 100-volt neon lamp 56 connected in parallel. As electrons flow through the emitter point 26, the neon lamp 56 flashes. This serves two purposes. First, it limits the current flow, and second, it serves as a visual cue that the unit is operating properly. Since the discharge is virtually without sound, the visual cue is especially helpful. The emitter point 26 is located about 1/4-1/2-inch from the metallic grid 24, which completes the circuit to the battery through a 10 megOhm resistor R3 58, which further limits the current flow.
The disclosed grid-emitter geometry combined with the disclosed circuit produces a discharge current flow of about 5μA at an air flow rate of 50 ft/min. At this current flow, according to Coulomb's law, there are about 31,000,000,000 electrons per second available in the corona discharge for ionizing and destroying pollutants through electron impact.
Besides the physical sensation of moving cold air there is an additional "psychological" effect of well-being experienced by the user inhaling the stream of purified air. Some of this effect is probably psychological due to the "clean, outdoor" smell and taste of the mildly ozonated air. It is widely believed that the refreshing quality of the outside atmosphere following the passing of a thunderstorm is due to this ozone effect. An additional cause of the "psychological" effect could well be an actual physiological response to trace levels of nitric oxide in the ionized air stream. Nitric oxide has recently been found to be an important biological signaling molecule that is involved in neural impulse transmission and a host of other biological phenomena. It is also known that application of nitric oxide to the lung reduces pulmonary blood pressure and acts as a broncodilator. Nitric oxide production seems to require a negative plasma source while most of the other effects discussed above can be obtained through either negative or positive corona discharge.
Nitric oxide my also contribute to the germicidal effect of the unit. Experiments performed by blowing bacteria laden air onto an exposed Petri plate surface have shown a dramatic drop in bacterial colonies when the contaminated air flow passes near to the grid 24 of a working air purifier 10 before striking the Petri plate. Presumably, germicidal agents emitted by the device destroy air borne bacteria. Also, some of the contaminated air is probably drawn into the actual corona discharge and directly disinfected. FIG. 7 graphically shows the results of blowing bacteria laden air onto exposed Petri plates for different periods of time. A first bar (-) in each pair represents the number of bacterial colonies (plates counted after incubation overnight at 37� C.) on plates after two or eight minutes of exposure to a steam of bacteria laden air. A second bar (+) in each pair represents the number of colonies when the bacteria-laden air stream passed over an operating unit of the present invention before striking the Petri plate. Various control plates indicated that the bacteria were actually killed and not merely deflected by the stream of disinfecting air released by the present invention. The disinfecting air reduced the number of bacterial colonies by 90% (statistically significant at the 5% level). This dramatic effect was unexpected and opens the possibility of developing a bacteria shield. Such a device could be used in place of a surgical mask and would protect both the patient and the surgeon. Significantly, negative corona discharge was at least 20% more effective at destroying bacteria strongly suggesting that nitric oxide plays an important role in disinfection.
The present invention can also be used as a sterilizer for food preparation. As shown in FIG. 8, a sterilizer 100 can be mounted adjacent a kitchen counter or a cutting board 108 to aerosolize the surface and thereby reduce bacteria. The corona discharge provides an oxidizing environment that is believed to destroy bacterial spores and toxic organic material. Experiments on E.coli MV1190 and E.coli MC4100 indicated a 90% microbial neutralization. It is believed that equivalent results will be obtained with pathogenic strains of E.coli, such as E.coli 0157-H-7.
The sterilizer 100 includes a base or support member 106 with an adjustable column 194 that supports a hood member 102. In one form of the invention, shown in FIG. 9, the hood member 102 has four emitter points 112 mounted behind the grid 110. A series of circuit boards, such as shown in FIG. 1, can be used to drive each respective emitter point. The power supply can use a conventional A.C. 110 volt source with an AC/DC converter in the base member 106 to provide a 9 volt D.C. source for the circuit boards. Additionally, since the ozone would not be generated adjacent an inhalation area of the user, the voltage can be greater than about 8 kV.
An alternative embodiment of a hand held sterilizer 114 is shown in FIG. 10.
The hood or housing portion 120 can be similar to the hood member 102 of the embodiment of FIG. 9. An extended handle 116 can support a 9 volt D.C. source, such as a 9 volt battery or six 1.5 volt AA batteries in series. An off/on push button trigger or switch 118 can activate a corona discharge and the user can pass the hood portion 120 directly over the surface or food to be sterilized. Preferably, the hood portion will be positioned very close, e.g., 1 inch to 1/4 inch to the surface.
It is believed that the pathogens that can be acted upon by the sterilizer will not develop a resistance strain of pathogens as so often happens in drugs and other forms of bacteria controls.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various adaptations and modifications of the just-described preferred embodiment can be configured without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Therefore, it is to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described herein.

Yes, we came to Kuta again. It's our 2nd time to visit Bali and what would a Bali visit be without a visit to Kuta.
With its white sand that stretches more than 1.5 km...but I guess..it's longer than that. anyway....although there are much more beautiful beaches like Dreamland...Kuta is still one of the tourists' favorites, especially as THE place to catch the sunset.
So..along the sunset boulevard, there is one newly opened mall that is getting lots of attention from both locals and visitors: Kuta Beach Walk.
We want to freshen up ourselves before having a splash at the beach. This mall has an open-air concept that combines natural beauties and modern landscapes. but, first...we got to go back to the beach...^^
Dejavu...we're here like 4 years ago..and here we are!
The same pose we had 4 years ago..but the only difference is that Eyra and Freya are grown up.^^
but...the sand-castle making thing...is The SAME.!!
"ajeossi...what are you doing back there?" oh, well....
We miss the sun and warmth of summer already. ㅋㅋㅋ

A Global overview of canids used in traditional medicines

- Citations

Canids are among the mammal species most frequently used in traditional folk medicine around the world. In this context, this paper assesses the global use of canids in traditional folk medicine and their implications. Our review indicated that 19 species of canid are used in traditional medicine worldwide, representing 54.2% of described canid species. Of the species in medicinal use, two are listed as Endangered and three as near threatened on the IUCN Red List. For some species medicinal use represents an additional direct pressure that may have contributed to declines of natural populations. In addition, use of medicinal animals may have indirect impacts on the conservation of other species through the spread of disease. To minimize both harvest impacts and disease spread, guidance on use of medicinal species may be useful. This could include an exploration of the use of alternatives and implementation of sanitary measures.

Another way to store your mp3's you want to play on your PDA is by the use of a memory card. The memory card slides into the top of your PDA in most cases, and then using your stylus you simply open the storage card folder and it lists the mp3's you have on the memory card. If you have enough memory, this is how you also transfer mp3's to the main memory of the PDA in order to play a specific mp3 at a different time.
You can listen to mp3's through the speakers that are usually found on both sides of the front of your PDA. Different models vary however. There is a place for a headphone set to be plugged into the PDA as well, so you can listen to mp3's without disturbing those around you.
Another feature with the PDA referring to mp3's is the windows media player. When it is showing on the touch screen and you aren't doing anything else with your PDA, it will display the name of the song that is playing. And, with a simple touch of the touch screen with the stylus the mp3 will be paused. Once the touch screen is tapped again, the mp3 will continue.
Your PDA will often times be able to play music in the .wma format as well, if it is set to do this. You have to allow it however, by going to the settings on your PDA and changing it, so it will accept those file types and play them as well as the Mp3's you have on your PDA or memory card. Additionally, you can't simply take a memory card out of a Mp3 player and play it in your PDA. The memory card must be formatted for the PDA specifically and then the MP3's you want added to the memory card, to play in the PDA itself. Usually if an Mp3 will not play or a .wma file doesn't play a format error will come up on your PDA screen letting you know.
Mp3 play lists can be created on the PDA as well. Usually the amount of Mp3's you actually store on the main memory of your PDA depends on other information that might be vital. Otherwise the Mp3's can easily be stored on the memory card and used for later. They do not have to be erased, unless you need the memory card for different use.
Mp3's however have to be in a certain format for them to play on your PDA but this depends on what kind of PDA you own as to the format the Mp3's will play.

So I do not really get where people get there info I met a girl last night and she told me it is ok to drink one small glass of wine a week during pregnancy what are your guys thoughts?
Moms Expertise08/28/14
Hello Carly! Are you currently pregnant? Doctors have differing opinions on this.. so I would always consult them :) I have heard a glass of wine "here n there" is fine.. not so sure about weekly... but I would ask your doctor!
I would prefer not to drink at all, especially during pregnancy. It's alcohol and alcohol is not good for your baby.
i would not do it. even if my doctor said it ok .
I wouldn't drink at all during pregnacies.
it also depends if you are a normal drinker
I know my friend has a glass of wine evey night with dinner okayed by her doctor with both pregnancies
I know my friend has a glass of wine evey night with dinner okayed by her doctor with both pregnancies
but I say no alcohol is best and no smoking either
i agree you should not drink while pregnant was just wondering what people's opinions where
I have also heard a small amount in the third trimester is okay but I chose not to drink at all and think that is the best route. You can always ask your doctor if you need more information.

Plastic vortex in Pacific must be seen as world's wake-up call
Many of your correspondents are now writing about the potential to levy fees on disposable utensils and other plastic items.
Whether a levy, or a rebate, we need to find a way to greatly slow the use of these products in our daily lives.
Both options can provide ways to support an innovative recycling industry, as levies can help with initial funding and rebates encourage collection, meaning more efficient production.
I have just returned from a research expedition organised by Project Kaisei to the North Pacific Gyre, also known as the 'plastic vortex', an area of thousands of square miles in the Northeast Pacific where ocean currents have trapped floating debris.
We have found that human impact has reached one of the largest and most remote ecosystems on our planet.
The problem is pervasive, and was created within the last 50 years with plastic proliferating in our daily lives - 1,000 miles offshore, in more then 1,200 miles of ocean travelled within the gyre, with regular sampling along the way, we found plastic consistently in 100 surface samples taken. This is only the tip of the iceberg.
Estimates show that 50 per cent of the plastic created in the world is for disposable, single-use products.
It is time that we understood the true price of convenience.
That price is a growing environmental deficit that will continue to swell without a broad and fresh look at the way we do things.
The changes we need to make do not need to be painful to our daily lives and convenience, just logical, real and significant.
Green Sense has the right idea to bring the issue of levies on disposable products to the table. We should support these efforts.
Maybe the young employees of the companies who use these products in the most prolific way can also stand up to their employers.
They can send the message that their futures in a healthy, natural world are worth more than some quick convenience today.
Douglas Woodring, co-founder, Project Kaisei
