ANSI/ASSE Z690 Risk Management Package
Product Details
Product Description
The new risk management standards are expected to revolutionize best practices for safety, health and environmental professionals working in the risk management and insurance industry. Z690.1 Vocabulary for Risk Management, Z690.2 Risk Management Principles and Guidelines, Z690.3 Risk Assessment Techniques.
Vocabulary for Risk Management ANSI/ASSE/ISO Guide 73 (Z690.1-2011)
(identical national adoption of ISO Guide 73:2009)
Scope: This standard provides the definitions of generic terms related to risk management. It aims to encourage a mutual and consistent understanding of, and a coherent approach to, the description of activities relating to the management of risk and the use of uniform risk management terminology in processes and frameworks dealing with the management of risk.
This standard is intended to be used by:
- those engaged in managing risks;
- those who are involved in activities of ISO and IEC; and
- developers of national or sector-specific standards, guides, procedures and codes of practice relating to the management of risk.
- those seeking principles and guidelines on risk management
Reference is made to ANSI/ASSE Z690.2 (ISO 31000)
Risk Management—Principles and Guidelines ANSI/ASSE/ISO 31000 (Z690.2-2011)
(identical national adoption of ISO 31000:2009)
Scope: This standard provides principles and generic guidelines on risk management. This standard can be used by any public, private or community enterprise, association, group or individual and is not specific to any industry or sector.
This standard can be applied throughout the life of an organization and to a wide range of activities, including strategies and decisions, operations, processes, functions, projects, products, services and assets. In addition, this standard can be applied to any type of risk, whatever its nature, whether having positive or negative consequences.
It is intended that this standard be utilized to harmonize risk management processes in existing and future standards. It provides a common approach in support of standards dealing with specific risks and/or sectors and does not replace those standards. This standard is not intended for the purpose of certification.
Risk Assessment Techniques ANSI/ASSE/IEC/ISO 31010 (Z690.3-2011)
(identical national adoption of ISO/IEC 31010:2009)
Scope: This standard is a supporting standard for ANSI/ASSE Z690.1, Vocabulary for Risk Management, (ISO Guide 73:2009), and provides guidance on selection and application of systematic techniques for risk assessment. Risk assessment carried out in accordance with this standard contributes to other risk management activities. The application of a range of techniques is introduced, with specific references to other national and international standards where the concept and application of techniques are described in greater detail. This standard is not intended for certification, regulatory or contractual use.

Hey, can someone give me a hand with this?
Well, I've been using the same rig for more then five years; and as of late it's been a little slower then normal. My Graphics card is also acting up.

That's my system, I know Vista is bad blah blah, it's nothing totally bad, really. I've only had to replace the PSU once. It turns out the one I was using for five years was rather... Out dated. Regardless; it was 300w. My new one is 650w (Thank the lord.) I plan to replace my GPU around April with an ATI 5770 (Unless someone here can help me find a better card. I'm not savvy in the Computer building department.)
Anyway, the problems right now?
My GPU Over heats in certain games. I.E Garrysmod/l4d2 While it remains cool in some games like Company of heroes. Over heats at times in fallout new vegas and Metro 2033. It's idle temprature in the summer is 70c. In the winter? 60c (Sometimes I open the window and let cool air poor in, it goes down to 40c) and I have a desk fan on it. And yes, it's dust free. So, don't worry about it. Sometimes my FPS goes from 40-60 down to 5 and I lag horribly on certain maps in this 'Garrysmod', yet in any other game I never lag. My hard drive seems to be fine for a five year old hunk of steel, and I have a uh... 683 Gig hard drive, 371 of it remains.
My Anti Virus? Norton.
I use Steam to update my 4850 as well, and the CCC Somehow broke. It's fairly slow at times when it comes to booting up, and when I leave it idle it freezes up (Someone disabled sleep mode, even then it was fairly slow when coming out of that.) Does it sound like I just need to defrag? I haven't done that in five years. Before you snap, yes. I know, I was naive when I got the computer. That, and I shared it with someone else until this year.
So, should I just defrag and hope for the best while buying a new GPU, or should I save up for a brand new PC? Also, I have six gigs of ram.
Oh, and uh. I've only bluescreened three times with this PC. And I've only suffered four or so driver failures which required me to restart the game I was playing. Other then that, everything is peachy. Oh, and it's only slow during boot up. It takes roughly... Maybe two, three minutes to boot up. Five more for everything on it to start on it's own, then it runs just smooth. Sometimes it has small lock ups, or explorer.exe kills itself, but that's rare. Very rare.
Oh, and sometimes I hear low weird noises from the PC itself but it's not coming from the hard drive. It's like a low... Click, I guess?

Upgrading a Radeon HD 4850 to a 5770 would be a bit silly. It's an upgrade, but only barely. And the 5770 is outdated. A 7770 would be more like it, or ideally a 7850 (better bang for the buck).
As for the temps, idling at 60-70C is kinda bad. But then the 4850 is known to run really hot. Neither 60 or 70 degrees is a problem for the card, it just means there's less room to ramp up before you do get to problematic temperatures. Even more so if your computer case has poor airflow, which would not surprise me in the least.
You've left out some details about the rest of your hardware. What power supply do you have? 650W says about as much as "my car has a 3 litre engine".
The noises you're hearing may or may not be normal. Where exactly are they coming from? CPU fan, graphics card, case fans, power supply?
And finally, not having defragged in 5 years implies you've been running the thing for that long too. Along with CCC apparently "breaking" (dafuq?), I really think it's time to wipe the slate clean. Backup your data, format your boot drive, and reinstall Windows.
The lack of defragging isn't critical, but it's probably part of the reason booting takes that long. As luck would have it, formatting the drive removes the need to defrag and is faster as well.
VisionTek 650w power supply.
And yes, my case has bad airflow. Sadly, I have a desk fan on it now. It sounds like it's coming from the front of my computer. And it's not really clicking, actually. It sounds different, but it's so silent you couldn't hear it unless you put your head next to the PC. And by breaking, I think I installed a wrong driver.
As for formatting, I've never done that before, really. And I am unsure as to where my disks are. Sadly, the person that used to use this PC was a little... Weird. Regardless, I plan to defrag it the next time I head out and leave it on. And a 7770? Would that work with a VisionTek 650w power supply? And with my current PC loadout?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150656 Is this the card you spoke of?
A 7770 uses significantly less power than your 4850, so that should work fine. The 7850 is in roughly the same neighborhood as the 4850.
Either should work well with your system. Your power supply is not from a known quality brand, but 650W leaves more than a little margin for error and since it isn't blowing up with your 4850 it's probably going to be fine with either of those newer ones. I'd still feel more comfortable with a quality power supply running my computer though. Brands like Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, and XFX pretty much guarantee quality.
You've got the right graphics card, yes. By the way, the 7850 comes in two versions, with 1 GB memory or 2 GB. 1 GB is generally going to be enough for 1080p and definitely enough for lower resolutions - 2 GB is recommended for higher resolutions (or multiple monitors), though you could also grab it for 1080p to be on the safe side.
Alright. Well, I'm just tight for cash so I'm worried that my PC might... Well, bleh. Explode. Anyway, thanks for your imput mister toaster. And I only use one twenty one inch monitor. I barely play games anymore. Mostly CoH (Blitzkrieg mod which makes it HD and hyper realistic) l4d2/Garrysmod. Maybe KF and arma, but that's it.

Well, I have a 200$ buget. So, I think I could manage. My only concern is; do I buy a new GPU or a new PC? The PC I am on is roughly four years old, and she's served me without fault. I've only had to replace the PSU once. Yes, I call it a she.


text: I just installed a 1 gig mem. stick and the improvement is overwhelming. I was wondering if anyone out there has gone so far as a 2 gig mem. stick? If so would you please post your results here as to how much more of a improvement it really is. I was informed by a friend that in a pc this small anything more than 1 gig isn't going to do any good because there are other restraints such as the front side bus. So please, I'm looking for opinions and facts as to this matter.

STUDENTS at West Somerset Community College swapped lessons for workshops run by young scientists to learn about potential careers in industry.
As part of The Cheltenham Science Festival, the Careering Around sessions allowed year 9 youngsters to ask scientists and engineers about their jobs ahead of making career choices at A-level.
EDF Energy, the festival's principal education sponsor, sent employees who have been trained as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) ambassadors to get involved.
College assistant principal Marguerite Bowden said: "A morning like this is a great chance for students to meet with people from industry.
"One of the ambassadors was actually a former student here, showing existing pupils just what's possible."

the tsurugi is not a katana.
Although in a lot of representations they made it look like a katana.
As dragon states, it looks like a Roman Gladius. And its primary was 1 handed, while a katana uses 2 hands.
Reason why its so godly / special.. is beause there is no history on how it was created minus myths, hence why its considered a divine weapon and has its own name.
there is no "godly" katana, because katana's were all forged by man. And history recorded them being forged by man.
This is no exception to even the muramasa, and masamune... as those are names of blacksmiths and not swords.
Katana's are subject to curses tho, from the many vicitims its claimed. Especially the muramasa line.
Katana's can also be cerimonial, and blessed to made holy... like the Masamune swords. :P
So for a katana, its either cursed, or blessed. Thats it.... no godly divine Katana, because gods wouldnt copy man in creating a sword called the katana.

Kusanagi's Tsurugi

XFire@ If you guys think about this. most of the time ,ame no murakumo no tsurugi or kusanagi is used like a godslayer sword or Divine sword . So would no be the first time that the sword had a more big role that the one in the legend(because i'm almost sure that the sword never have this role).

The katana was made by man, designed by man.
Its not a weapon created by the Gods.
A katana got its name though its creator.
So a Muramasa Katana, was a katana created by Muramasa.
And he created a lot of katanas.
Kusanagi's and Totsuka have Divine history behind them.
Hence why they are considered Divine.
Oh as funny as it may sound.. the most famous Katana is probably Sephiroths Masamune from FF7 ... :P

Divine means anything which a god has created, or used.
It means it wasnt created by Man... hence a man made sword cant be a divine weapon unless man sealed a divine spirit inside the weapon.
And if the author says its a divine weapon, he doesnt need any real proof to say its a divine weapon.
If the author says the tsurugi is a katana... then its a katana..
However Dragon wanted to correct whats truth and what isnt.
A Tsurugi isnt a Katana.
And the reason why there is no godly divine katana in real life, is because they were all fabricated after a period in time where man started recording and all can be traced back to man.
And personally Godou needs a better weapon besides the golden swords... Yes there cool and nice, but its VERY LIMITED... and if he barfs it, he's virtually screwed.
I think he used use Firearms to represent he's the new generation Campione...
Magical Godly Pistols which shows he's the present.
However i can see more buildings getting blown up in accidental miss fire this way, then how its done with just the boar.

To clarify:
1. Tsurugi is not a Katana. Because "Tsurugi" can be used on both edges, while that's not the case for katanas.
2. The sword of Kusanagi seems to be from a divine beast, or at least a demon. Means that it's not made by a God, but rather...not divine, but "sacred".

@aigomorla you are using the real world definition of divine. But last I checked, Lancelot, Perseus, and Guinevere were not gods in their legends. But they are considered gods because their legends were so great that they transcended humanity. So if a legacy is what makes something divine, then it could happen to the sword, too.

Wait, but a man-made sword can be a divine weapon, depending what a god does with it afterwards. Or what he does with it.

@ KiRa08o2 Yeah that seems to be how the system worked. Though I think you need to be dead before becoming a god. So if everyone loved you, and then you fell down the stairs and broke you're neck, you'd become a god. I wouldn't recommend it.

ETHAN Ebanks-Landell is expected to extend his loan deal until the end of the season after becoming central to manager Kevin Blackwell's new-look side.
The Bury boss has confirmed talks have been held with the Championship club and a deal should be completed before his contract runs out this Saturday.
"I have spoken to Wolves and they are happy for us to keep him until the end of the season, so when that comes up we will do that," said Blackwell.
The 20-year-old Wolves player was brought to Gigg Lane as a central-defender but has since created a niche role for himself at the base of the Bury midfield.
However, his ability to drop back into defence is seen as crucial by Blackwell as he bids to build a squad short on numbers but high on quality.
The Shakers boss cited Ebanks-Landell's flexibility as one of the reasons he was happy to drop Efe Sodje last Saturday.
That decision left Bury with no defensive cover on the bench and sent a clear message to the 40-year-old defender he is now surplus to requirements at Gigg Lane.
Blackwell moved this week to further bolster his defence by signing up Euan Holden on non-contract terms.
The 25-year-old younger brother of Bolton Wanderers' American midfielder Stuart Holden is predominantly a left-back, but can play anywhere along the back line.
The Shakers manager is now tracking a striker, confirming he had invited a Spanish forward for a trial at Gigg Lane this week. But he said he would not be making too many more additions to his squad.
"We know who the targets are and we are working on something, but I'm really pleased with the players we have at the moment," said Blackwell.
"Obviously we are going to be short, but I'm not really worried about that. "What I am worried about is that, if I have only got 12, 13 or 14 players, that they are good enough.
"That's what will see us through to the end of the season."

J.J. Abrams to direct Star Wars
After playing footsie with the media for the past couple of months, J.J. Abrams has revealed that, yes—he'll direct the next Star Wars movie.
The filmmaker is still working on Star Trek Into Darkness, his second whack at that franchise. Then he'll probably create a dozen hugely popular TV shows, direct another handful of movies, and reboot The Six Million Dollar Man before moving onto Star Wars Episode VII, due for release in 2015.
This should give Little Miss Sunshine screenwriter Michael Arndt enough time to iron out all the super-annoying characters and boring shit about trade wars in George Lucas's blueprint for the next trilogy, which Disney inherited along with the rest of the franchise in November.
Episode VII reportedly follows Luke Skywalker into middle-age, where even a strong command of the Force and a healthy midi-chlorian count can't trump bad knees, male-pattern baldness, impotence, and a seemingly permanent feeling of disappointment and crushing ennui.
But enough about me!
With Super 8, Abrams did a fairly good job of aping '70s-era Steven Spielberg (for the first half of the film, anyway), so maybe he can make George Lucas a good filmmaker again by proxy.

Blame Where It Belongs
I think we can all agree that the blame for a completely unwatchable BCS title game belongs squarely on the University of Oregon. (Not that the game had Oregon not choked against Stanford would have been better, exactly, but watching a PAC-12 team beat the living crap out of Notre Dame would be richly entertaining in its own way, while watching an SEC team do likewise is almost as bad as Notre Dame winning.)
…also, is Manti T'eo the most ridiculous overhype since Joba Chamberlain, or Charlie Weis?

Did you know?
Water sport activities in Parys include river rafting, water skiing, canoeing, angling and power boating. Other adventure sports on offer include abseiling, gliding, hiking and 4x4 routes.
The town of Parys in the Free State is a hotspot for adventure and watersports, with a range of activities for all ages and fitness levels.
River rafting on the Vaal River with accredited facilitators is a half-day or a full day of fun. The experience is tailor-made to suit the age and capabilities of participants, and safety gear, life jackets and helmets are provided.
For the less adventurous, this Free State tourism town offers a choice of art galleries, antique shops, pubs, delis, spas and restaurants.
The Vredefort Dome is another major attraction. The crater was formed two-billion years ago when possibly the largest meteorite ever to strike the earth crashed home, forcing the lower rock layers to the surface and creating a semicircular mountainous indentation 42km in diameter.
The annual Dome Adventure Festival takes place in and around Parys in November and offers music, sporting activities, fly-fishing, water sports, stalls, competitions and even Dragon Boat Racing.
And one of South Africa's largest mountain-bike races, the Crater Cruise, takes place annually during the second weekend in October every year at Parys and in the surrounding Dome Area.
Another Parys attraction is the Dell Cheetah Centre, 10km outside of town, where you get the opportunity to interact with fully grown cheetahs.

Players voiced concernsCaroline Wilson
Published: February 7 2013 - 3:00AM
SENIOR Essendon players demanded assurances from their coaching and medical staff before being administered the controversial substances at the centre of a performance-enhancing drug investigation.
While it has been confirmed that Essendon medical staff, including veteran club doctor Bruce Reid, raised questions regarding the controversial supplements, the Essendon players have acknowledged they signed consent forms which stated the substance administered was acceptable under the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority code.
The assurances were sought by the leadership group, notably David Hille and skipper Jobe Watson. A specially convened meeting of senior Bombers players and the AFL Players Association on Wednesday heard that the forms were signed in the presence of Essendon senior coaches, doctors and the fitness staff.
Senior coach James Hird, who on Wednesday voiced his support for suspended sports scientist Dean Robinson, witnessed the forms being handed out and signed. The players also signed a separate confidentiality agreement after being told the club did not want its controversial practices being leaked to the opposition.
The move by the Bombers, which took place on the eve of the 2012 season, has been condemned by AFLPA chief Matt Finnis, whose association has engaged the services of a Queen's Counsel and advised the past and present Essendon players involved to seek advice before giving evidence to ASADA.
''The players were doing what they were told,'' said Finnis. ''If that trust was knowingly breached, then I can't think of a worse example of a breach of trust in any employment relationship.
''Obviously it's important to clarify whether they were given banned substances or not. Either way the fact they were asked to sign consent forms and given supplements away from the presence of a doctor is well below the acceptable standards of a professional football club.''
The AFLPA's view is that no club should demand confidentiality agreements given the demands already put in place by the standard playing contracts signed by all players. Virtually every senior Essendon player signed the agreements.
The club also confirmed that the players were taken from Windy Hill to a nearby botox clinic to be injected with the supplements.
The club has reportedly explained that the clinic was used only because the treatment required a registered nurse.
The AFL remains convinced that chairman David Evans had no knowledge of any questionable practices while coach Hird and chief executive Ian Robson remained adamant that the substances administered did not contain human growth hormone.

Travel Assistance
Car rental and other travel arrangements can be made on the spot but to avoid any disappointment it is better if guests confirm their requirements in advance of arrival.
Arunachal Pradesh
To enter the state of Arunachal Pradesh Indian nationals require an Inner Line Permit. Our staff can help obtain this as it is issued in Assam.
Foreign nationals, however, require a Restricted Area Permit which in India can only be obtained in Delhi and Itanagar (the capital of Arunachal Pradesh) by submitting an application form signed by the applicant and accompanied by passport photos and a fee in US Dollars. As Restricted Area Permits can be issued by all Indian Embassies overseas it is simpler for guests to apply for them at the same time as obtaining their Indian visas.

O's rally late to claim Battle of the Beltways
Baltimore scores three in 7th, two in 8th to win season series vs. Nats
WASHINGTON -- For six innings on Monday night at Nationals Park, the Orioles went through their familiar routine. Hitters tapped slow ground balls around the infield. Towering fly balls carried without a threat. There was still the occasional home run, but no sustainable offense.
Two pitches into the seventh, J.J. Hardy started a rally. The shortstop ripped a double into the left-field corner. Ryan Flaherty followed with a double to center. Baltimore came alive for three runs in the seventh and two in the eighth to beat the Nationals, 7-3, in the makeup of a July 8 rainout.
"We've been kind of struggling with the bat recently, and one through nine, everybody contributed tonight," catcher Caleb Joseph said. "It was great for the offense to kind of bust out there with the big innings."
Hardy collected four hits and scored twice. Joseph drove in three runs and homered for the second time in three days. In a battle of first-place teams, the O's took three of four in the season series from their rivals down Interstate 95.
With the Blue Jays idle, the Orioles' best offensive performance since Tuesday gave them a four-game lead in the American League East with a trip to Toronto looming.
In its previous four games, Baltimore scored a total of six runs. The O's 14 hits were the most since July 7. For the team with the worst batting average and on-base percentage in the AL since the All-Star break, a seven-run outburst was a rare sight.
"There were a lot of good at-bats, but good at-bats with good results," said Delmon Young, who contributed a go-ahead pinch-hit single in the seventh. "If we hit into double plays or got out, no one would be talking about how we had good at-bats."
Long before the Orioles erupted for their most prolific inning since Tuesday, Joseph got Baltimore on the board with a solo home run. Minutes after Nats catcher Wilson Ramos opened the scoring with a solo home run in the bottom of the second, Joseph answered with a leadoff homer in the top of the third.
During the O's recent drought, Joseph has been one of the few bright spots. The catcher, who added a two-run single in the eighth, is 11-for-his-last-30 and batting .281 in the second half.
This was the reputation that Joseph carried. In a full season at Double-A Bowie in 2013, Joseph batted .299 with 22 home runs. Defense, not his bat, was supposedly his weakness.
"I don't know what level it's going to end up being," manager Buck Showalter said, "but you don't do the things he did over a long season catching last year -- driving in 100 runs and hitting close to .300 -- and not have offensive skills."
Aside from Joseph's homer and another by outfielder Nick Markakis, Tanner Roark held the Orioles in check until he watched a one-run lead become a deficit in the seventh.
Baltimore gave Roark (11-7) the only out he recorded in the inning when Joseph bunted Flaherty over to third. Young entered for Kevin Gausman as a pinch-hitter and laced a go-ahead single to left-center that ensured the end of Roark's four-game winning streak. Almost half of the 42,181 at Nationals Park erupted in cheers for the visitors from up Interstate 95.
"You know, it's weird because O's and Nats, O's, O's, Nats -- kind of close," Gausman said with a grin. "You definitely could tell it was more O's than Nats I thought."
The rally continued against a pair of Washington relief pitchers, and after Adam Jones capped the three-run frame with an RBI single, the Orioles had their biggest inning since Markakis hit a three-run home run in Tuesday's win against the Angels.
Gausman (6-3) labored through six innings, allowing three runs on eight hits with three strikeouts, ultimately giving Baltimore its 14th quality start in 15 games.
Earlier this week, that wouldn't have been enough. The Orioles hadn't won a game in which they allowed at least three runs since the last time Gausman was on the mound. After weeks of the pitching staff carrying Baltimore, the hitters returned the favor.
"Hitting's contagious sometimes, and I really feel like that's what happened in that inning," Joseph said. "It felt good to go out and give them a little bit of a cushion instead of a high-pressure situation."

Suicide Research
Approximately 32,000 individuals die by suicide each year in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control, suicide is a leading cause of death for various sectors of the population. The study and further refinement of treatments to prevent suicide is crucial to reducing its global burden, as well its impact on the resources of mental health facilities within the United States.
Directed by Dr. Gregory K. Brown, the Center for the Prevention of Suicide at the Aaron T. Beck Psychopathology Research Center was founded to develop empirically supported treatments to prevent suicide in high-risk populations. Current research focuses on identifying risk and protective factors surrounding suicide and evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of psychosocial interventions such as Cognitive Therapy for Suicide Prevention and Safety Planning.

1 dead, 2 wounded in shootings near Archer
Published: Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 9:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 12:09 a.m.
One person was killed and two others were wounded Sunday night in a pair of shootings in a rural neighborhood near Archer, authorities said.
Details were sketchy as investigators tried to sort out the series of events surrounding the bloodshed.
Around 10 p.m., two hours after the initial call, deputies found a man shot to death in the woods. Alachua County sheriff's spokesman Lt. Todd Kelly said the man was a suspect in the initial shootings. His identity has not been released.
Shortly before 11 p.m., a second man was found walking out of the woods. Kelly said the man was not arrested at that point as investigators continued to figure out the circumstances.
Deputies were first dispatched to a home at 9816 SW 162nd Avenue around 8 p.m. Kelly said there were a half-dozen people in the house and two of them had been shot.
One man was shot in the abdomen and a 24-year-old woman had been shot in the left arm with the bullet then going into her abdomen. She was taken to Shands at the University of Florida. The identities of the victims were not released and their condition was unknown at press time.
Investigators have not released any information about whatever sparked the incident at the house.
Deputies assisted by members of the Gainesville Police Department had set up roadblocks and a two-mile perimeter surrounding the shooting scenes.
For nearly three hours after the initial call, police in a helicopter and a state Department of Corrections K-9 unit on the ground searched the woods. Investigators at one point were broadcasting through loudspeakers into the treeline after hearing voices calling for help.

"My fiancée actually picked this design for our save the dates! I wasn't sold on it at first, but it was his favorite, and after we personalized it and made it look exactly how we wanted it to, I started to love it. Once they arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality and how cute they turned out! I'm definitely glad we chose this design, and that we were able to do some things to make it our own. We will absolutely be returning to personalize and purchase formal invitations!"
"This was delivered quickly with the highest quality paper! The design was fantastic and was exactly what we wanted. This simple yet classy save the date is sure to impress our guest."
"I used my own design for save the date magnets and was so happy with the outcome through Wedding Paper Divas. I had to call customer service a few times to speak with a customer service rep since everything wasn't fitting in the designated design area. They were more than accommodating and set me up with a designer in order to see a proof before ordering. Loved the outcome!!"
"I ordered Save the Date magnets for my daughters wedding. They are amazing. Beautiful texture and the quality is great!!! Thank you for such a wonderful job."
"Hey! This was an awesome way to tell our friends and loved ones about our special day. Wedding Paper Divas has some truly beautiful designs and options, though we decided to make our own and use one of the simple and chic postcard layouts. The site is so intuitive and the product high quality! The proofing process I thought would be a hassle, especially since I had made a mistake in the design, but it proved to be swift. I felt cared for and really enjoyed the process. Thank you for your attention to detail, great design sense, and making me feel like a real diva. ;)"

LAKELAND, Fla. – The 16th-ranked Saint Leo men's basketball team managed a season-defining 79-75 win over No. 6 Florida Southern on the road in thrilling Sunshine State Conference action from a rowdy George Jenkins Field House on Wednesday night.
Over 1,000 fans, mostly rooting for the home team tried to pressure the Lions (18-4, 10-2 SSC) into missing shots and making mistakes, but Saint Leo held tough in the game's most pressure-packed moments.
Erasing a nine-point deficit to take the lead with 3:54 left, Florida Southern (18-3, 10-2 SSC) looked prime to snatch the victory, but it would be a clutch performance from three of the Lions' seniors that would tilt this epic contest in Saint Leo's favor.
After the Mocs took a three point lead on a Dominic Lane layup with two minutes left, Trent Thomas was able to draw a foul on a three point shot attempt. Not only did the foul put Thomas at the line, but it also handed Florida Southern's Kevin Capers, arguably their biggest player, his fifth foul and disqualifying him for the rest of the game. Thomas headed to the free throw line and calmly stroked three free shots to knot the game at 75.
Following an FSC turnover, Marcus Ruh, who had been stifled by the hosts all night, drove the lane and dropped in an off-balance jumper to give the Lions the lead at 77-75. Another Moccasin turnover with 54 seconds left saw the Lions try to run as much clock before Thomas hoisted up his shot. The attempt was no good but Tom Neary's effort for the rebound gave the Lions the ball with just 19 seconds left.
Another foul put Thomas back at the line where he again calmly swished two free throws to make the margin four at 79-75. Florida Southern would try a desperation three-pointer, but it would sail wide and Ruh would pull down the board and manage to run out the clock for the Lions' victory.
It was a night where the Lions looked toward performances from a number of unlikely players. While Thomas, a familiar face, dropped in 15 points and Shaun Adams added 14, Cale Girten's 5-for-6 night shooting with three 3-pointers saw him notch a career-best 13 points. In addition, freshman Jaylon Bell added 11 points.
The win put the Lions in a tie for first-place in the Sunshine State Conference with Florida Southern. After tonight's result it essentially gives the Lions sole possession of the top spot as the Green and Gold holds the season sweep over the Moccasins. This is only the second time in the 46-year history of the rivalry that the Lions swept the season series, with the first coming last year.
Another tough road contest awaits the Lions this weekend as Saint Leo will travel to Melbourne, Fla. and face Florida Tech on Saturday. Tip is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.

LATE Accrington Pals historian Bill Turner will be honoured with two commemorative plaques, it has been announced.
They will be placed in Accrington Reference Library, and in the town hall, by the Accrington Pals Centenary Commemorations Group.
He has been called deserving of the accolade by local leaders because of his work researching the Pals and its soldiers' backgrounds.
Hyndburn mayor Judith Addison joined Mr Turner's widow Ruth last month to unveil a huge remembrance banner, on the Broadway office buildings in Accrington.
She said: "The plaques should certainly be installed because Bill Turner, more than anybody else, has done research into the Accrington Pals.
"He died relatively young, and whilst he did a tremendous amount of work he would have done more if he had lived longer. I really think Bill deserves this recognition and I hope it's while I'm still mayor because I only have ten weeks left in office."
Historian Walter Holmes worked with Mr Turner extensively, and carried on researching the Pals after his death in 2007. Mr Holmes said: "It's a good idea. Ruth will be over the moon about it as well. I call on Ruth regularly just to talk about things, and she is happy somebody is still showing an interest in the Accrington Pals."
The brass plaques are being stored at Hyndburn Council's office building in Accrington, and will be installed at future ceremonies, chair of the Pals commemorative group, council leader Miles Parkinson said.
He said: "Bill Turner has helped to keep the memory of the Accrington Pals alive, and this is a proper time to recognise that dedication.
"The first plaque will be installed at the library where Bill did his research, and the second in front of the mayoral parlour in the Town Hall."

Stewart found his interest in photography at the young age of 15 while growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was always seen spending his time living in the darkroom, working on the yearbook or school newspaper. Those formative years solidified his goals of having career in photography. A few years later, he loaded up and followed his dreams to New York City to study at The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. There he recieved his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography back in 2001. He began to shoot commercial assingments early on during his second year in school and things have taken off from there. These days Stewart finds himself living in New Jersey with his wife and Two boys. His love has always been portraiture, but it's only a small portion of what has intrigued him about photography. The many personal projects he is always working on, mostly about his travels or life, always keeps him busy inbetween assignments.

ByReid J. Epstein
When Democrats in 2012 tarred Mitt Romney as so wealthy he was out of touch, the Republican pushback was to assert that there's no shame in being rich. "Republicans come here and say everyone should live like this," Mr. Romney said at one fundraiser held at a supporter's mansion.
Back then it worked, as President Barack Obama and his allied Democrats launched a full-scale campaign to tag Mr. Romney as the candidate of the rich, by the rich and for the rich. By and large, that worked, with a handful of assists from Mr. Romney himself.
Two years later, it's Republicans who are using their opponents' wealth as a campaign cudgel. In Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania and Georgia, GOP candidates have taken shots at their opponents for being wealthy – usually as part of trying to build a larger case that the foe is out of touch.[wsj-responsive-more-in tag="2014" category="" ]
And of course there is the nonstop Republican smirking about Hillary Clinton's wealth — virtually all of it emanating from Mrs. Clinton's book tour statement that she and Bill Clinton were "dead broke" upon leaving the White House 13 years ago. On Monday morning the Republican National Committee launched a website called poorhillaryclinton.com.
Almost every attack Republicans are throwing at Democrats on their wealth could have been made against Mr. Romney – some of them were, almost verbatim.
Starting last fall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker branded his Democratic opponent Mary Burke "Millionaire Mary." The Walker-controlled Wisconsin GOP mocked her for owning a "swanky second home valued at nearly $600,000." And last week Mr. Walker's campaign released a new TV ad called "Fortune" in which it accused Ms. Burke of "making millions of dollars" when her family's bicycle company moved some of its manufacturing operations to China. (That whether the company actually did outsource jobs to China is in debate mirrors the Romney campaign's insistence it did not offshore jobs.)
On Friday Allysia Finley of the Journal's editorial page criticized Mr. Walker's attacks on Ms. Burke's business record. "Economic populism is usually the province of Democrats who don't understand how free markets work or who cynically hope to exploit voters' insecurities," she wrote.
But Mr. Walker is hardly the only Republican attacking a Democratic opponent's wealth. In Pennsylvania, GOP Gov. Tom Corbett's campaign dubbed his Democratic self-funding opponent "Millionaire Tom Wolf." And in New York, Republicans are trying to tar Democratic House candidate Sean Eldridge as wealthy and out of touch.
Virtually every missive the National Republican Campaign Committee blasts about Mr. Eldridge – the husband of Facebook millionaire Chris Hughes who has spent more than $1 million of his own funds in his campaign against GOP Rep. Chris Gibson in an upstate New York district – replaces the first letter of his first name with a dollar sign.
"After repeatedly ignoring the media, refusing to answer questions about the stunning hypocrisy of his multimillion dollar investment portfolio, and putting voters off by using his dark money group to try and buy an election, the only thing Eldridge is going to gain on Election Day is some much needed humility," NRCC spokesman Ian Prior said in one representative missive.
Obama campaign aide David Axelrod, in a plea for campaign donations in October 2012, wrote: "I'll be blunt: They are trying to buy this election."
And in Georgia – where Republicans will vote Tuesday in a run-off Senate election between Rep. Jack Kingston and David Perdue – the highlight of the final debate was Mr. Kingston laying into the wealth of Mr. Perdue, the former CEO of Reebok and Dollar General.
"Your whole lifestyle is based in a different way," Mr. Kingston snapped at Mr. Perdue, the Associated Press reported. "You live inside a gate inside a gated community with a gate on your house."
Mr. Perdue responded much the same way Mr. Romney did in 2012: "I'm not going to apologize for my success."
Correction: This post referred to Chris Hughes as a billionaire. He is a millionaire.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - It's the season of giving, and Friday a lot of people did just that.
Nearly 2,000 meals were handed out at EverBank Field, and each meal included turkey, stuffing, bread, corn and fruit.
Bruce Ganger, the executive director of Second Harvest North Florida, said those on the receiving end are always grateful.
"For these families that are here today, they wouldn't have a Thanksgiving dinner if it wasn't for what they are receiving today," he said.
This year marked the third time the food bank handed out meals to the needy at EverBank Field before Thanksgiving. It was hoping to help more families this time around, but donations are down.
"We only had enough for 2,000 dinners, so we turned an awful lot of folks away," Ganger said. "We just ran out of food and funding to provide the dinner."
Another group that will hand out meals Saturday is Here's Life Inner City Jacksonville. It gives a meal in a box called Boxes of Love. Inside the box is enough food to feed a family of six, and a ham comes along with it.
This is the 12th year the group has been handing out the boxes, and this year about 78 churches came together to make it possible.
"Thanksgiving, which should be a joyful occasion, might not be," said Ben Goldsmith, the city director of Here's Life Inner City Jacksonville.
He said that's why they do the giveaway.
"Giving thanks to all the blessings that we have and to help these people have a good Thanksgiving," second-year volunteer Joanne Krause said.
One way the group is a little different from others: They're taking extra steps to reach across language barriers, with boxes of Christian literature written in Spanish, and Spanish-speaking people who deliver the meals. Hector Ortiz is a Hispanic pastor who's been doing this for seven years.
"And you see people in need sometimes not having anything to give to their kids, and when they see you with the box they start crying," Ortiz said.
If you missed out helping these groups, you can still help. The Salvation Army has a goal of getting 1,000 turkeys by Saturday to feed those in need. As of Friday, it only had 378.

BROMSGROVE and Redditch daredevils are being given the chance to take to the skies to raise money for charity.
Townsfolk are being invited to do a parachute jump for the Primrose Hospice.
Brave volunteers will jump from a height of 10,000 feet, and freefall through the air at 120mph before releasing the parachute to begin a relaxed descent from a mile in the air.
Katie Willington, from the hospice, said: "We are looking for people to make a sponsored freefall parachute jump on our behalf, and in return we ask you to raise a minimum of £395 in sponsorship money, in order for you to jump for free.
"Make 2014 the year that you face your fears, take on that challenge, do something you have never dreamed of."
Potential daredevils have a choice of dates to do a jump; Saturday, July 19, Saturday, August 16, Sunday, September 14, and Sunday, October 26.
Money raised will be donated to the Primrose Hospice, in St Godwald's Road, which supports people facing an end of life situation and their families during this difficult time.
For more details or to register visit primrosehospice.org/parachute_for_primrose_2014 or call 01527 889796 to speak to a member of the hospice's fundraising team.

So you're saying the iphone 4s, which came with OS 5, isn't the 5th gen iphone?
And that the next iphone, which will come with OS 6, will be called Iphone 5?
Just as the 3GS was iphone 3, the 4S is iphone 5. And the next iphone will be iphone 6. Most likely it will be called the "New Iphone" officially though.
Apple is in the dictionary under this word, the next iPhone will most likely be called, "iPhone 5".
The next iPhone will be iPhone 5s, now for my sake of typing I will list a couple more so you get the point.
iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 7s, iPhone 8, iPhone 8s, etc. If you don't understand Apple's simple methods by this point.....
And, for what it's worth, I believe completely that the iPhone 4 was called that because it was the 4th generation iPhone. Where else would the "4" come from? It still ran on 3G data, it was only offered through 3 carriers (in America), it has 2 colors. Maybe because they quadrupled the resolution?
Again name and generation have nothing to do with it. One is marketing and the other is and incremental number. As far as the name goes, the next model will be either the "iPhone 5" or just "iPhone" and the last thing it will be is the "iPhone 6". If they skipped 5 people would go insane and think well I just bought the 4S and we are on 6? WTF APPLE!?And that the next iphone, which will come with OS 6, will be called Iphone 5?
But yes the next model is in fact the 6th gen. The End...
PS, yes slow work day for me too...
they can have iphone5.com but iphonefive.com is still mine.
After reading the first few comments, I haz been mindfked.
It will be called the iPhone X
End of.
This inspires me to open a website called iPhone6.com.

Nathaniel Oaks (1751 – 1840) of Chelsea, Vermont
22 Dec 2013 — Chelsea, Orange, Vermont
Nathaniel Oaks (1751 – 1840) of Chelsea, Vermont
Page 18 Oak – Oaks - Oakes
20. Nathaniel. Chelsea, Vt., hotel-keeper; born Westboro( Westborough, Worcester County), Mass., May 16, 1751 ; married first, Bolton, June 2 (or 20), 1773; married second about 1804; died Exeter, Me., March 15, 1940.
First wife, Susanna Hastings, daughter of Capt. Benjamin and Abigail (Sawtell) ; born Bolton, (Worcester County) Mass., February 11, 1748; died Chelsea, (Orange County) Vermont, about 1803. She was a woman for whom her children had an unusually strong affection and reverence; and the name of Hastings has been preserved in many branches of her descendants. She was a good singer, a favorite pupil of Billings, the famous New England teacher and composer; nine children (70-78). Second wife, Elizabeth (widow Gates); no children. After her husband's death she went from Exeter, (Penobscot County) Me. (Maine), to live with relations in Castleton, Vt., and died before 1848.
Nathan iel^ Oak, losing his father when an infant, went with his mother to Shrewsbury, Mass., 1754; but from 1766, when she went to New Hampshire, and perhaps earlier, he lived with his uncle Nathaniel (2) in Boston, perhaps also spending some years in Winchendon with his cousins William (10) and Seth (11). At his marriage in Bolton, 1773, he was recorded as Nathaniel Jr., which at first led to error as to his identity.
At the Lexington alarm of 1775 he served 12 days in the company of his father-in- law, Capt. Benjamin Hastings. Possibly he may have been the Nathaniel who served later enlistments (see 13-55). If so he sent his wife to Winchester, N. H., to live with his mother and sister, where he soon followed, where most of his children were born, and where in 1777-83 he bought in three lots 176 acres of land for £508. In 1790 he removed with his family to Chelsea, (Orange County) Vt., his home for half a century. There he kept a hotel in a building still standing (1900) the hall of which was long used as county court house, for town meetings, and for meetings of the Congregational church. Later he lived in a cottage, also still standing; served as pound-keeper and sexton; took great pride in his garden ; and worked as a carpenter at odd jobs, being, like all his tribe, "handy with tools." The large number of land transfers in his name would indicate that he indulged somewhat in real estate speculation. There are traditions of considerable wealth and of extreme poverty, both perhaps well founded, but exaggerated and referring to different periods of his life. In later years he spent some winters with his oldest son in Boscawen, N. H.; and in 1839 went to live with a younger son in Exeter, Me (Maine). There on a Sunday in 1840 he died suddenly in church at the age of 89. He was a man of robust physique and of jovial temperament, as befitted a landlord; well-known and liked wherever he lived; in religion an active Methodist, but at home in the meetings of any denomination. His descendants number about 500. Name always "Oak."

Men of Bolton Massachusetts: The Marble, Oak, and Hastings Families Connections
By DeCody Brad Marble of Panama City, Florida
On 5 October 1749, BENJAMIN MARBLE of Lancaster married Martha Goss in Bolton, Worcester County, Massachusetts. Between the years 1750 and 1771, Benjamin and Martha (Goss) Marble had eleven children; all the children were born in Bolton, Worcester County, Massachusetts. JOSEPH MARBLE was the second born and first male child born on 23 October 1752. On 28 April 1775, Joseph (age 22) a resident of Templeton, Worcester County, Massachusetts joins the Militia at Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Joseph had enlisted 9 days after the Lexington Alarm and after his father, Benjamin (age 50) had marched off with the Bolton Minutemen under CAPTAIN BENJAMIN HASTINGS, within Colonel John Whitcomb's Regiment, Massachusetts Militia. The Lexington alarm of April 19, 1775 is considered the beginning of the Revolutionary War. It started with the ride of Paul Revere and the British attack on Lexington and Concord. State records show that 63 men from Bolton marched on the Revolutionary Road to the relief of Massachusetts Minutemen.
By 1776, Joseph Marble (age 24) is residing at Winchester, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. On 28 September 1777, in Brattleboro, Windham County, Vermont, 5 miles North West from Winchester on the state border line, Joseph Marble marries Susannah Elizabeth Butler, daughter of John Butler and Susannah Allen. On 21 September 1837, in the Washington County, Vermont Court House in Montpelier, Susannah E Butler Marble makes a declaration for widow's pension, Vermont Pension No 26015. Susannah states that the marriage was held in Brattleboro because there was not an available clergyman in Winchester.
On 22 December 1837, Nathaniel Oak (age 86) of Chelsea, Orange County, Vermont, Revolutionary Pensioner of the United States, testifies that Susannah Butler Marble is his half-sister and that he and Joseph's brother, Benjamin were witnesses to the marriage performed in Brattleboro, Vermont. Indeed, SUSANNAH ALLEN OAK was a widow of JOHN OAK (1714 – 1752) of Westborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts when on 19 May 1754, she married JOHN BUTLER (1732 - 1819) in Shrewsbury, Worcester County, Massachusetts.
Nathaniel Oak, the youngest son and child of John Oak and Susannah Allen, was born on 16 May 1751 in Westborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts. On 2 June 1773, in Bolton, Worcester County, Massachusetts, Nathaniel married SUSANNA HASTINGS, the daughter of BENJAMIN HASTINGS and ABIGAIL SAU(W)TELL. On 19 April 1775, during the Lexington Alarm, Private Nathaniel Oak, (Nath Oakes), marched from Bolton with Private Benjamin Marble to Cambridge, both under the Company Commander, Captain Benjamin Hastings, father – in – law to Nathaniel Oak. On 21 August 1832 in Chelsea, Orange County, Vermont made his declaration and stated he was a resident of Winchester, Cheshire County, Vermont in April 1775, when he joined the Bolton Minutemen under Captain Benjamin Hastings.
"Nathaniel was a great reader, considering his opportunities, and in Boscawen took an active part with the Webster family in building up the schools. His hotel in Boscawen was on the Merrimac River, two miles above Fisherville, now Pennacook. In 1894 the hotel building was a private dwelling but had been used as a boarding house for many years for the Elmwood Academy. The nearest neighbors, Ezekiel Webster and family, a brother of the famous Daniel Webster, lived a little above and across the road. One of the Websters still lives there and remembers the times of our grandfather, when, as he writes, "Capt. Oak, as he was known, was a noted performer on the fife, and also a good player of the violin. When he was married he sold his violin to buy a cow." SOURCE: FindAGrave.Com Memorial

How is Ozone Made? – 3rd Edition
Here at Ozone Solutions we are commonly asked, How is Ozone Made? I have created 2 previous posts covering ozone production in nature, and the basics of a corona discharge ozone generator.
In the previous post about how ozone is made we covered the basics of a corona discharge ozone generator. In that post we pointed out that there are three main parts to a corona discharge ozone generator:
- Power Supply – this edition
- Dielectric
- Corona Cell
Ozone Generator Power Supplies
In this article we will cover the differences in power supplies used for corona discharge ozone generators. Also, the different parts that are involved in the power supply itself. While some are very simple, other may be very complicated. First, we have to cover the basics of what these power supplies do.
Corona discharge ozone generators operate on the principle of a high voltage spark across a dielectric to form a corona. The main component to any corona discharge power supply is a transformer to increase voltage from the standard 120 or 220 VAC power used to a higher voltage ranging from 500 – 20,000 volts. This high voltage will create the spark (corona) necessary for ozone generation.
The voltage used by an ozone generator is mainly dependent upon the dielectric and air gap in the corona cell. If there is a larger gap for the spark/corona to jump, a higher voltage is needed. Also, thicker and various types of dielectrics will require varying voltages. We will cover dielectric and corona cell design in future installments of How Ozone is Made.
Another factor is frequency. Higher frequency ozone generators (see below for info in frequency conversions) will typically use lower voltages as this is less stress on the frequency conversion components and smaller gap ozone generators are more conducive to higher frequencies.
Line frequency ozone generators may use a basic rheostat to adjust the voltage into the transformer. This will in turn, adjust the output voltage of the transformer and adjust the rate of ozone production. In these ozone generators only a transformer and rheostat are used, no other electrical devices are necessary for ozone production.
Click HERE for a video of a line Frequency ozone generator in action!
Some transformers may use a line choke, or a series of transformers to achieve a the voltage step-up necessary. This is an example of a larger (~450 gram/hour) ozone generator transformer assembly.
Many ozone generators used what is basically a car coil to increase voltage in an ozone generator. When ozone generator design was still new there were very few choices for transformers that could endure the abuse of 1,000 Hz, elevated voltage, and changing variables inside a corona cell. Today, transformer options are greater and the use of a basic car coil is becoming less common.
Most high frequency transformers are much smaller, open coil type transformers. This image is very typical for what may be used inside a higher frequency ozone generators. This same style transformer is used in some medium frequency ozone generators.
Frequency Conversion:
The spark inside an ozone generator is generated from high voltages created by the transformer, these voltages are all AC (alternating current). This means the electrical current alternates direction. This reversal of electrical current occurs at a constant speed we call frequency. This is measured with Hz (hertz). Here in the USA typical electrical power is delivered at 120 VAC 60 Hz. This means the voltage is 120 volts of alternating current, that alternates 60 times per second. In other countries power may be delivered at 220 VAC 50 Hz.
This explanation is all to understand that the spark or corona inside the ozone generator with no frequency conversion would occur 50 or 60 times every second. Many of the earlier ozone generators, and some still today operate at line frequency, an unaltered frequency. This is generally referred to as a line frequency ozone generator.
Other ozone generators use a higher frequency to increase ozone output. Higher frequencies would create more spark/corona every second. There are three main types of ozone generators:
- Line Frequency – 50-60Hz
- Medium Frequency – 100 – 2,000 Hz
- High Frequency – 5,000 – 30,000 Hz
This circuit board is the driver board for a car coil type transformer as seen in the image above. This is a great example of how simple the circuitry may be in a typical medium frequency ozone generator.
This is the power supply for a larger (up to 450 gram/hour) high frequency ozone generator. This power supply can supply an output of up to 30,000 Hz, or as low as 1,000 Hz. As you can see this power supply is much more circuitry and components are used to achieve these higher frequencies and flexibility.
This power supply is for a larger (up to 400 gram/hour) medium frequency ozone generator.
Putting it all together
There are many different types of ozone generator power supplies for many different applications. Each serves a unique purpose in the ozone generation world. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
Line Frequency Ozone Generators (50-60 Hz)
Line frequency ozone generators commonly use larger transformers and voltages from 10,000 – 20,000 volts. The only other electrical component for operation is a rheostat as pictures above. These are very simple and reliable setups that perform well for many years. Absolutely nothing beats the reliability of a line frequency ozone generator.
As the components on most line frequency ozone generators are larger to achieve the same ozone output the costs for the transformer and rheostat are higher than the costs for the smaller transformers and simple printed circuit boards used for medium frequency ozone generators. Also, line frequency ozone generators cannot achieve near the performance as the higher frequency ozone generators.
Medium Frequency Ozone Generators (100 – 2,000 Hz)
Medium frequency ozone generators are most common today. These ozone generators may produce 1 gram/hour to thousands of pounds/day of ozone. The image above is a simple printed circuit board to increase line frequency to about 1,000 Hz, this board is attached right to the transformer that increase voltage to about 1000 volts. This is an older design with a oil filled automotive style coil. however this is a good example of the typical size of power supply for a 5 – 20 gram/hour ozone generator. There may be multiple power supplies powering multiple corona cells in one ozone generator to produce more ozone. This is a very compact, cost effective, and efficient method to produce ozone.
While medium frequency ozone generators are fairly simple there are still more components than a line frequency ozone generator. This means there are more things to fail and cause problems. Due to the elevated frequency these generators also produce more heat, both in the electronics and corona cell. Heat is the enemy of ozone.
Medium frequency ozone generators are also louder than others. While this may not be a large concern in every application, at some frequencies there is a high pitched whine that is not acceptable in some occupied spaces.
High Frequency Ozone Generators (5,000 – 30,000 Hz)
High frequency ozone generators offer very compact designs due to smaller transformers and corona cells. As the spark/corona is occurring up to 30,000 times per second the need for a large air gap and high voltage are alleviated. In return the electronic circuit board becomes the largest, and most expensive component of some high frequency ozone generators. This is illustrated very well in the above image. This shows 3 power supply circuit boards with the small transformer mounted right to the circuit board!
High frequency ozone generators may be very energy efficient and compact in size allowing for a very flexible platform to either use multiple cells for redundancy or other configuration changes. Many high frequency ozone generators are very cost effective as the large parts that carry a higher price (transformer and corona cell) are smaller, while the circuit board and electronics are more elaborate.
High frequency ozone generators contain many components that may fail. They also produce a great deal of heat due to the high frequency. However, with the very high frequency there is no audible sound from the ozone generators, they are the most silent of all types. Many manufacturers have just begun implementing more high frequency components in the last 5 years. Expect big changes in the future in this area of ozone generation.
This covers the basics of ozone generator power supplies. I promise the following editions of How Ozone is Made will be shorter and less technical.
The next edition of How Ozone Is Made will cover Corona Cell design in Corona Discharge Ozone Generators.

Jack White and the Return of Rock 'n' Roll
But First, a Joke*! (Up There, and Right Here...)
A rich old couple is sitting in their backyard. The husband says to the wife, "Darling, times are tough. Perhaps you could learn to cook, so we could fire the cook."
She responds, "All right. Perhaps you could learn to screw, so we could fire the gardener."
About the Jokester:
Here's a sentence you probably weren't expecting after seeing this photo: Thirty-one-year-old London native Hannah Simone worked for the United Nations. Then she went back to school, got a second degree, and — as you'd expect — became a VJ. "I got a job as a human rights and refugees officer, working on youth-based projects," she explains. "But I realized all the kids I was working with were far more into The Daily Show than the policy briefings. I figured, I've got to learn how to speak your language." She went on to host a couple of Canadian TV shows before moving to Los Angeles, where she was quickly cast alongside Zooey Deschanel in New Girl. Ban Ki-moon must be proud.
*Esquire cannot guarantee that this joke will be funny to everyone. (But it's pretty good.)
[ON THE SET OF NEW GIRL] The accommodations are great. I have turned my trailer into a bed; there are long days or you have night shoots, and it's nice to be able to curl up in your own duvet with your own pillow and sleep.

Sheffield Steeldogs 4 Manchester Phoenix 2
MANCHESTER Phoenix made the short journey across the hills to take on the Sheffield Steeldog in a feisty affair that boiled over at the end of the game Phoenix started well and pinned the Dogs in their own zone and it was no surprise when they took the lead after Frankie Bakrlik got his stick on a loose puck and it somehow found its way past Dalibor Sedlar in the Sheffield net.
Assists went to Andrew McKinney and Robert Schnabel.
The Steeldogs hit the equaliser when a poor line change left Ben Morgan alone just inside the blue line and his rasper of a shot flew past Stephen Fone.
Steeldogs lost Craig Elliot to the high sticks rule after 13 minutes when he accidentally caught James Archer in the face with his stick. The match penalty on him was downgraded after Archer returned to the game shortly afterwards.
Phoenix continued their domination but a mixture of poor shooting and great goaltending kept the score at 1-1 at the end of the first period.
The second period was more of an end to end affair with the Steeldogs having more of the play.
Phoenix were still creating chances but Sedlar was having a great night keeping his goal intact.
Steeldogs took the lead against the run of play when top sniper Lubomir Korhon broke away to score.
Phoenix started the third period in the same vein as the first two but could not get many quality shots on net and the Steeldogs scored a third with six minutes to go when Greg Wood broke free to face Stephen Fone one on one and the Steeldogs' skipper made no mistake.
Shortly before the goal, the Dogs had one washed out as debutant Tom Squires put the puck in the net long after the whistle had gone.
Michal Psurny took offence to that late shot and was assessed a 10 minute misconduct for holding the face mask.
Squires also sat out 10 minutes on a misconduct.
Frankie Bakrlik scored with just less than three minutes to go to give the large contingent of away fans some hope but it was not to be and the Steeldogs capped their night with an empty net goal with19 seconds left.
However, the main talking point will be the brawl that took place with seven seconds left as fights broke out all over the ice.
Ten minutes of mayhem took place before order was restored and the final seconds were played out.
Four minute roughing penalties were dished out to Lee Haywood, Andrew Hirst, Lloyd Gibson and eight to Callum Pattison of the Dogs.
Similar roughing penalties were given to Phoenix players Robert Schnabel, Jacob Heron and Andrew McKinney with Joe Graham picking up eight minutes.
Phoenix player coach, Tony Hand picked up a 10 minute misconduct at the same time after he dropped the gloves with Greg Wood. Unfortunately Mr Wood refused the offer for some reason and Hand was called.
This was a typical Phoenix-Steeldogs affair with the Dogs taking their chances and an excellent netminding display by Sedlar.
Phoenix dominated most of the game but fell short in front of goal.
Results elsewhere meant that Phoenix remained top of the league.

Alum Makes Unique Gift To Psychology, History Departments
March 11, 2010
Filed in Campus Headlines, Headlines, Humanities
Springfield, Ohio – Recognizing the gift of a life-changing education he received from Wittenberg, Louis Meyer Brown, class of 2000 from Chicago, Ill., has committed $10,000 annually to support the university's psychology and history departments.
Brown, vice president of wealth management at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC in Chicago, worked with his family's foundation, the C. Louis Meyer Foundation, to provide the gift, which will be split evenly between the two departments. Founded in 1946, the foundation seeks to further public welfare through the relief of poverty and suffering, the advancement of education, the promotion of health, and the extension of the influence of religion.
"The liberal arts education Wittenberg teaches provides a basis for a well rounded and practical view on life," Brown said. "In my studies at Wittenberg, the history and psychology departments had a meaningful impact on me and how I looked at the world. Both departments deserve praise for the education and dedication they provide to their students," he continued. "They emphasize problem-solving and abstract thought, which are so valuable in this day and age. I look forward to seeing the departments and the university grow from the relationship with the C. Louis Meyer Family Foundation."
The departments both plan to use the gift to extend opportunities for experiential learning with their students. The history department, for example, will now be able to further students' understanding of "living history" and "history as it is preserved" for society through unique field trips, including one to see the Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit in Washington, D.C.
"We want students to understand how historians find out about the past, and that is through the examination of primary source material: documents, artifacts, oral history, etc.," said Molly Wood, associate professor of history and department chair. "Encountering 'real,' 'original' primary sources can be a very memorable event for students, and one that promotes intellectual curiosity and vision."
Attendance at and participation in various academic conferences will also now be more accessible for students, thanks to Brown's gift. For example, history major Amy Walp of Springfield, Ohio, recently presented an original research paper at the annual conference held by the national history honor society Phi Alpha Theta in January.
"Presenting research in a professional setting is such a rich experiential opportunity for students," said Mary Jo Zembar, professor of psychology and department chair. "It gives them an opportunity to interact with individuals who are interested in their work, but it also allows them to see the types of research that other students and academics are conducting. It is a rewarding experience for students, and we are happy that with this gift we will be able to expand the number of students to whom we can offer this opportunity."
