The hot hybrid Honda City RS comes with a rather steep price tag.
After five long months since its world premiere here in Malaysia alongside it’s hum-drum counterparts, the price for the City RS e:HEV has finally been announced locally, and it stands at a rather steep RM 105,950.45 (inclusive of SST exemption).
Now granted, while this eye-watering figure for this hot hybrid Honda does put it uncomfortably close to its larger Civic sibling, buyers are nevertheless getting quite a lot of kit for their money in this top-tier trim level of the current 5th generation City lineup. With the headline act undoubtably being its innovative i-MMD hybrid powertrain featured under the hood.
Consisting of a 1.5 litre DOHC I-VTEC four cylinder petrol engine, an electric motor and an Electric Continuous Variable Transmission (e-CVT), this novel hybrid powertrain combination is touted by Honda to be capable of delivering a decent 109 PS and a much-hyped 253 Nm of torque. Courtesy of its efficient powertrain architecture and the three standard driving modes (EV Drive, Hybrid Drive and Engine Drive) too, this City should also deliver impressive fuel efficiency figures in addition to its formidable performance potential.
Engine aside, this top-spec City also brings with it other exclusive features that are not to be found in any other variant within the model lineup. These include an electric parking brake, as well as Honda SENSING active driver aids that comprises of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Auto High Beam (AHB).
The Honda LaneWatch blind spot monitor and the remote engine start feature is also standard on this top-spec City, though it is worth highlighting that both these features are also included in the next-level down V variant of this compact Honda sedan. What is unique to the RS variant though are Honda Connect telematics system, bringing along with it features such as an Automatic Collision Detection system, Geo-fencing Alert, Remote Vehicle Control and quite a lot more besides.
Before anyone gets confused, RS here doesn’t actually stand for Rally/Road Sport, instead Honda’s definition of RS is ‘Road Sailing’. Having said that, this new hybrid City still features a sportier aesthetic compared to its other purely-petrol counterparts courtesy of its gloss black exterior trim package.
Moving onto the interior, the sporty touches from the outside is carried on inside as the City RS gains sports pedals and Ultrasuede upholstery on the seats with red stitching. Other interior highlights on this particular Honda includes a 7-inch full colour TFT digital cluster with hybrid display, an 8-inch central infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as well as Deceleration Selector Paddles to modulate the regenerative braking of the electric drive motor.
While bookings for the new City RS have already been opened since the car was launched in October, this new hybrid Honda will now soon begin rolling out of its Pagoh plant to customers. Speaking in broader terms about the new City for a moment, over 20,000 bookings have since been placed to date for this compact sedan, with 13,100 units reaching the hands of customers nationwide already.

Monopoly has been around since 1935 and although the stylings of the game have been updated over the last 83 years, the foundation of the game is still the same.
It’s a real estate board game in which you move around the board buying properties then building on them.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a person in the U.S. that has never played Monopoly – and even kids born after 2010 at least know about it if they haven’t actually played it yet.
It’s a timeless classic that should never be changed, right?
Wrong! It turns out we’ve been playing Monopoly all wrong.
No, there isn’t a hidden hack to get you those “blue properties” fast and without a fight, but there is a way to enjoy the game a little more – especially if you’re an animal lover.

Farmers in Ghana are facing uncertainty. Climate change, drought and lack of market access make accurately predicting crop yields and income difficult, and a lack of reliable data makes decision making a challenge. Big Data Ghana set out to help.
Big Data Ghana’s GAIMS platform is driven by satellite, AI and machine learning technologies to provide crucial insights to smallholders across Ghana. As a winner of the Digital Earth Africa Innovation Challenge, Big Data Ghana joined a 3-month incubator program, where Digital Earth Africa data was integrated with other data sources to improve the GAIMS proposition by integrating analysis ready data, with a particular focus on improving irrigation practises in Upper West Ghana.
“Most farmers in this region practice rain-fed agriculture,” explains Henry Baffoe, Director Technical and Strategies at Big Data Ghana. “So by integrating DE Africa data, we can help stakeholders like Ghana Irrigation Development Authority and the financial institutions serving these individuals to know where and what type of irrigation would benefit them and make this information available at their fingertips.”
By liaising with Smallholder Representative Groups, private sector organisations and the Ghana Irrigation Development Authority, Big Data Ghana was able to gather insights into what information stakeholders really needed to access.
The team at Big Data Ghana were able to draw from Digital Earth Africa’s open and analysis ready data and services, including Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station (CHIRPS) and NDVI, to identify areas of green vegetation. These, and other data sources form the basis of an app that visualises insights about irrigation, soil and productivity. The team also benefited from working with FrontierSI’s Caitlin Adams, renowned for her work in pushing the boundaries of science in Earth observation.
Next steps for Big Data Ghana include investigating how to stream DE Africa data to enable on-the-fly analysis and modelling, significantly enhancing their capacity.

More Information?Please contact our National Sales Team or the Customer Support Centre for technical information or advice for your project specifications.
Where are they manufactured?
AusPress Stainless Steel Channels and Specialised drainage products are manufactured in Adelaide, South Australia.
How long do they take to manufacture?
Dependant on the project size, channel manufacture is approximately 15-20 working days from drawing approval. If it is a large project, we work with the plumber/builder on the building program schedule, to ensure successful, on time and in full supply.
Why is 316 more expensive than 304?
316 Stainless Steel has an extra component (Molybdenum), which offers a much higher level of corrosion resistance. When considering the cleaning chemicals and harsh fluids that are flushed through the drainage systems, 316 Stainless Steel is a vital requirement for the channels, grates and components.
What’s the longest single channel length?
We typically stick to 6m sections in our manufacturing principles to enable ease of transport. These sections are then bolted together by means of flanges, gaskets, nuts and bolts to make as a channel as is needed for the facility. The longest channels AusPress has ever made was over 700 metres long.
Why use Stainless Steel? Other materials are cheaper
Stainless Steel is the only impervious, long term product, that can last the life of the building under normal operating conditions. As channels are typically installed and cast into the concrete floors, it is vitally important that they are made to last the lifetime of the building as they are very expensive to repair and replace when you consider not just construction costs, but oncosts to cease operation within the facility. It is part of the buildings structure, and must be able to perform to client expectations.
Can I connect existing drainage to the channel?
Yes. We can design a custom layout and adjust where an outlet is located along a channel, and create fall to the outlet, as long as the existing drainage is of size and complies to local regulations.
What’s the difference between your channels and others? Why is there a price difference
AusPress has more than 30 years’ experience in the industrial drainage market and has been manufacturing custom made Stainless Steel channels for more than 20 years in Australia. Through our experience, we only use the highest standards of materials and manufacturing techniques as we understand how expensive it is to repair or replace inferior products. AusPress industrial channels are manufactured from minimum thickness of 1.5mm 316 Stainless Steel, for the rigorous environments they are installed in. All of our components such as grates, baskets and secondary strainers all meet stringent local requirements. They also comply to the highest of standards, local government approvals and carry HACCP certification for food and beverage facilities to ensure the client receives exactly what is required for the project.
Can we help design the drainage system?
Yes, AusPress has a highly experienced and professional technical design team to assist in client requirements. AusPress undertake full design drawings and produce all shop drawings in house. We quite often are asked to help with design, to ensure the correct outcome for the client. This can be in the form of Data sheets, or complete channel design to present to the client.
What channel options do I have? Why is one shape better than the other
We have several channel option designs, shape and design are usually related to where it is to be used.
- Standard V Base channel, most commonly used and requested channel, kitchens, production areas, usually low waste product on the floors.
- Slot channel, used where moderate fluid discharge on floor, used in wineries and beverage facilities, areas of very low waste product on floors.
- Hygiene channel, mainly used in food processing or production areas, can have higher volume of waste product, that requires higher volume of water for wash down to move product to waste points.
- HygieneMax Channel, best channel design for food processing or beverage facilities, direct product to base of channel, with lower volume of water washing down product to waste points.
- Flat base channel, common uses, stormwater, showers, threshold to doors, driveways.
Grates are matched up to channels, for application, and location.
How long will they last?
Stainless Steel channels are an investment for the client and are installed in the concrete making them part of the “skeleton” of the building. With correct maintenance, they will last or exceed the life of the building. This could be 50 years plus.
What are stainless steel drainage channels used for?

Five Things I Love About Microsoft's XBOX 360
Gratitude Challenge Day 5
This is the 5th day of the Gratitude Challenge I started. I decided for the next couple of hubs, I should talk about the game systems I have. The Xbox 360 is one of them. I have grown up with videos, ever since the birth of NIntendo. Well not really because I wasn't born yet, but as early as I can remember, I was playing Mario games. Things have changed since then, and there are two other super giants other than NIntendo. I love them all and Microsoft is one of them with their system (or second system), the Xbox 360. Their first one was the XBOX. And who knows, maybe the third one will be the XBOX 720. Anyways, here my five reasons why I love the XBOX360.
Xbox 360 Live is a great way to play online with others. It is the best online community out of all the of the systems. There are a LOT of active members that are constantly playing games, chatting, exploring, shopping and more all on the console. Even though there is a monthly fee (The only console to have one) it is WELL worth it. You get support when you need it and it's fast! A lot of games on the console work really well with the online interface.
Easy Controller Interface
The controller fits comfortable in any hand and there is a handy Dashboard button in the middle that kind of works like the Start button on your computer. Except it pauses whatever game you are playing. The controllers are wireless, so no hassle with not being close enough. Also, there are new wireless induction charging mats. You can just lay your XBOX 360 controller on the pad and it charges! Wirelessly! Amazing!
Great Game Selection
The games available to XBOX 360, especially the exclusive XBOX 360 games, are made with huge quality in mind. Each game has had hundreds of developers working together to create this masterpiece. Games like Halo are one of the best selling games of all time. The Fable series is also a great game to try out. They also have numerous add ons for a lot of their games you can download online. Perfect for those who get bored easily with some games.
Awesome Customer Support
Yes, there has been the XBOX red ring of death in my household. A couple of times though. But those times are way over, and each time we sent out the XBOX 360, we got a new one within days. Really fast service and they definitely want their gamers to game!
XBOX 360 KINECT!
I recently got XBOX Kinect and I have to say I am pretty impressed. The game selection right now isn't that huge, but some games available are really fun. Dance Central is currently my favorite, where you can learn to dance. It capture your movements so it knows it you are doing it correctly. Great game if you want to start moving. Make sure you have room though!

District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser announced on Monday that the city will begin easing some coronavirus-related restrictions this spring amid an uptick in inoculations.
Over 162,000 Washingtonians have been either partially or fully vaccinated, according to Bowser. That represents just shy of a quarter of Washington’s population of about 705,000 residents.
Beginning on May 1, seated live entertainment such as movie theaters can open at 25% capacity either indoors or outdoors, while live music will be allowed to take place near outdoor restaurant seating.
Major gatherings such as weddings, special events, graduations and awards ceremonies will also be allowed to take place with a 25% occupancy cap.
A 50% capacity limit is being applied to indoor non-essential retail shopping, museums, libraries and recreation centers, as well as public pools and outdoor races.

The need for sustainability and a smaller ecological footprint lead to the construction of more airtight building envelopes with better thermal insulation to increase energy efficiency according to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD 2010/31/EU). However, specific fire risks can be encountered by the occupants since they can be blocked for a long period due to the fire-induced pressure increase and the inward door opening. In a previous experimental campaign, wood crib fire tests were carried out for measuring fire-induced pressure in a 70m3 airtight building. High pressure inside the rooms was observed highlighting the problems for the evacuation of the occupants. Moreover, these experimental results were also used to validate the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). Satisfactory predictive capability of FDS was obtained for fire-induced pressure and mechanical ventilation considering the influence of the pressure on the area of the leakages but the heat release rate (HRR) was fixed as input data for the simulations. Computational Fluid Mechanics CFD modeling is regularly used in fire safety engineering but generally, a significant limitation comes from the HRR which has to be imposed as input data.
This paper presents an evaluation of FDS v6.7.6 capability to predict fire-induced pressure without setting the HRR as input data. Fire tests were carried out with a simple fuel load such as heptane pool fire. At first, heptane pool fires were performed in an open atmosphere for preventing complex interactions between the compartment and fuel vaporization rates and evaluating the ability of FDS to predict liquid pool fire fuel mass-loss rates. Secondly, twenty-one heptane pool fires were performed in a 70 m3 setup for evaluating the capability of FDS to predict heptane mass-loss rates, fire-induced pressure, and temperature field in the fire room in several enclosure configurations.

Don't you love your score boards? I have had a couple of brands, and this is my new one from Martha Stewart, with the 1/16th inch grooves! LOVE it, except those little lines are sometimes a bit hard to be SURE you are getting the one you want. EASY fix on that! Just grab your fine line markers, and slide a bit of color right into the groove! Here you can see that I've color coordinated the inch lines with light blue, and then used bright red to mark the 4 1/4 mark, where I do so many A2 cards! If you do lots of gate fold cards, or any other specific folds, just choose another color, and mark those grooves, too! Do you think I should let Martha know this is a "good thing"?
Don't forget to pop over to BettyBee's Buzz to see the terrific Heart projects the HoneyBees have come up with this week, and leave your own ideas! You could be the winner of this month's blog candy!!
Happy creating ~ and I'll see you Monday with ribbon projects, and maybe more.....

Marijuana is the most commonly abused illicit drug in the world. Its use is a very controversial topic and has been long debated. Some cultures use marijuana for religious rites while others outlaw its use.
Depending on the user’s reaction to marijuana, it can be defined as a depressant, stimulant or hallucinogen. Common reactions to marijuana use include distorted perception, memory impairment, poor concentration, delayed motor functions, paranoia, stress relief and increase of appetite. The drug effects the nervous/ sensory system, immune system, mucous production, heart rate, blood pressure and the brain. In the workplace, employers have found that habitual marijuana use leads to lack of productivity, laziness, absenteeism and tardiness in employees.
According to Yogi Bhajan, marijuana is a drug and when it comes down to Kundalini Yoga, he said that, “Drugs and Kundalini Yoga don’t mix.” Yogi Bhajan specifically said, “The term ‘pothead’ derives from a state of mind peculiar to those who use marijuana. This state of mind is said to be caused by blockage of spinal fluid and acupressure meridians at the base of the neck.” Also intoxicating drugs like marijuana are tamasic which ties one to Maya and the illusions of the earthly realm.
There are millions of ways to escape your inner and outer realities through consuming drugs, alcohol, sugar, junk food, sex, etc. Marijuana is just another vehicle. After smoking marijuana, it can take hours for the effects to wear off and days for it to get out of your system. At least with meditation, one can come back at anytime.
Working with drug use actually doesn’t have as much to do with the drugs themselves, but the underlying reasons why a person needs to take them. If you are ever feeling anxious and smoke marijuana, the anxiety seems to disappear. The truth is that the anxiety doesn’t disappear, but the link to that feeling gets disconnected. This doesn’t mean that the anxiety is resolved, it just means that you will have to deal with it later. Truly as a conscious being, when faced with anxiety, we need to meditate on it to investigate the root cause to integrate it with our consciousness.
Kundalini Yoga’s aim is to bring awareness where there isn’t awareness. That means being completely aware of all that is going on in your mind, body and external environment. You are free to make any decisions that you want as it is your life, however marijuana can take one away from the reality that they are seeking. Marijuana doesn’t help one develop a meditative mind. On the contrary, it can take years to repair the system to get to the point where you were prior to marijuana use. Just remember that there are no short cuts in the process and you cannot rely on any outside substance to bring you into yourself. There is no substitute to Sadhana. Sadhana is hard work and commitment that cannot be bought anywhere.
When dealing with any kind of substance abuse, it is important to work on the underlying emotional root causes to truly heal. There are tons of great resources and kriyas for every kind of disorder. It just takes hard work, consciousness and taking responsibility.
With Marijuana specifically, a great resource is Sadhana Guidelines which has the following kriyas and meditations that work with repairing the system from marijuana use:
- Maha Agni Pranayam: This meditation was taught by Yogi Bhajan as a remedy to relieve “Marijuana Brain”, which is a reaction from marijuana use.
- Meditation for Habituation- The most recommended meditation for dealing with addiction.
- Flexibility and the Spine- Yogi Bhajan says this kriya is good for releasing poisons in the tissues from drug use.
- Magnetic Field and Heart Helper: Yogi Bhajan said of one asana that it, “Repairs damage to brain by marijuana and alcohol use”.
A few good remedies you can use to repair the system from drug use include:
- Yogi Tea- for the nervous system
- Golden Milk– for repairing the nervous system
- Banana Fast to remove drug deposits in the medulla
- When freaking out during drug use, Yogi Bhajan advised a foot massage with garlic juice.

I put this together before church one Sunday and let it simmer in the crockpot until lunch time. I only used 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper and it still had a little kick. We liked it and served it with cheese and sour cream
2 pounds ground beef, lean
2 ounces onion, chopped, 1 small or 1/2 cup
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder *
3 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne Beth used only 1/4 tsp
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
8 ounce can no-sugar added tomato sauce
4 tomato sauce cans water
Brown the meat, onion and garlic in a large pot; drain grease well. Add all remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low; cover and simmer 1- 1 1/2 hours.
Beth 'simmered' this in a crockpot for 3-4 hours. Perfect!
Makes about 6 servings
Can be frozen
* Or use 2 teaspoons regular chili powder.
Per Serving: 283 Calories; 18g Fat; 25g Protein; 5g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber; 4g Net Carbs
This is very hot and spicy. If you like your chili milder, cut back or leave out the cayenne. This won't be thick like traditional chili with beans and a thick tomato base. It's more like a thin chili soup. Be sure to drain the fat really well or you'll end up with a layer of grease floating on top, like I did. I had to skim as much as I could. It might be good with some other veggies added, such as chopped tomatoes, zucchini, green peppers, etc. It will go farther, but will increase the carbs.

Guyana Fire Service celebrates 60 years of Service
DPI, GUYANA, Thursday, October 12, 2017
The Guyana Fire Service today celebrated 60 years of service in Guyana since its establishment in 1957.
Prior to 1957, the GFS was an arm of the Guyana Police Force and was known as British Guiana Fire Brigade. In observance of its anniversary, the GFS held a march through the streets of Georgetown.
Chief Fire Officer of the GFS Marlon Gentle said that over the years, the service has made a lot of strides from its inception. This is largely due to the expansion of the GFS’ services to all parts of the country.
He explained that “when we started in 1957 there was just one fire station in Georgetown and another in New Amsterdam. Today we are at seventeen completed stations, we also have five auxiliary units in the interior and we are in the phases of constructing three other fire stations in Guyana.”
Those fire stations at different stages of completion are located in Lethem Region Nine, Mahdia Region Eight and Mabaruma Region One. The GFS is also expanding their services to Leguan and Wakenaam in Essequibo, Region Three, by with the establishment of auxiliary units on the islands equipped with one fire tender each.
The GFS is also working to re-establish its presence on the waterfronts by resuscitating its marine firefighting arm with a fireboat which is expected to arrive in Guyana in 2018. Gentle also stated that fire officers are currently being trained in marine firefighting by the Guyana Defense Force.
The GFS is slated to host a number of activities across the country as part of its fire prevention week activities in an effort to raise awareness on the devastating effects of fire.

This invention relates to ozone generators, in general; and, in particular, to an ozone generator having improved electrode and packaging configurations.
It is common practice to purify water for industrial and domestic use by subjecting it to treatment with ozone gas. The same treatment can be applied for purifying gases and other liquids. Ozone is produced by passing oxygen or a mixture of gases containing oxygen, such as air, through a corona discharge established between pairs of electrodes which are separated by an air gap and a dielectric shield, when the electrodes are connected to a high voltage source. Glass is the most common dielectric material used in such generators.
A common type of ozone generator relies upon a corona discharge in the annular space between an inner metal rod and an outer metal tube, with a glass tube interposed between the outer tube and the rod. To avoid excessive heat buildup due to the corona, water or other cooling fluid is used to cool one of the electrodes and the other electrode is cooled by heat radiation to the environment.
An ozone generator acts as a high-potency ion source when it is caused to generate a high frequency corona discharge by applying a high-frequency voltage to an electrode. The electrochemical action is particularly productive when a high voltage with an extremely short pulse is applied to the ozonizer electrode. Examples of ozone generators of the type to which the present invention relates are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,011,503; 3,421,999; 3,677,931; 4,049,552; 4,090,960; 4,176,061 and 4,427,426.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an ozone generator having an improved electrode configuration.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an ozone generator having an improved housing structure packaging configuration.
In accordance with the invention, an ozone generator comprises a helical spring electrode extending axially in contact with the inside wall of a dielectric in the form of a sealed glass tube. A second electrode in the form of a metal tube is spaced across an annular gap to circumferentially surround the glass tube, and the whole is contained within the interior of a cylindrical housing. Inlet and outlet ports function to flow dry air or oxygen through the annular gap, and spacing between the tubular electrode and the housing provides a conduit through which water or other coolant may be flowed.
In a preferred embodiment, described in greater detail below, the housing comprises a central cylindrical sleeve, cylindrical porting collars having proximal ends coaxially attached at opposite ends of the central sleeve, and cylindrical end caps coaxially attached to distal ends of each porting collar. The end caps include insulated retainers for positioning the electrode/dielectric subassembly within the interior of the housing. A described ozonizer system includes a plurality of such ozone generators mounted in an axially parallel arrangement and provided with a common coolant flow jacket.
Embodiments of the invention have been chosen for purposes of illustration and description, and are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section view of an ozone generator in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic view helpful in understanding the operation of the generator of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a similar section view of a system employing a plurality of ozone generators of the type shown in FIG. 1.
Throughout the drawings, like elements are referred to by like numerals.
As shown in FIG. 1, an illustrative ozone generator 10, in accordance with the invention, comprises a first electrode in the form of a stainless steel wire helical spring 12 extending longitudinally coaxially within the interior of a dielectric element which takes the form of a hollow glass tube 14. Spring 12 is mounted within tube 14 so that, in its relaxed state, its outside diameter is in contact with the inside diameter of the tube 14. A second electrode in the form of a stainless steel tube 15 is coaxially disposed about glass tube 14, so that the steel tube inside diameter is spaced from the glass tube outside diameter across an annular gap 16. As shown, tube 14 has exposed left and right ends that respectively project leftward and rightward out from corresponding ends of tube 15. Sealing means, in the form of alternating Viton and Teflon material O-rings 18, 19, acts to seal the axial extremities of gap 16 to provide a sealed air flow conduit between tubes 14, 15. Ingress and egress is accommodated by input and output ports 21, 22 which may comprise radial bores or circumferential arcuate slots, equiangularly-spaced and passing through the cylindrical wall of tube 15 adjacent its ends and located inwardly of seals 18, 19.
The described concentric dielectric/electrode subassembly arrangement is protectively housed within the interior of a hollow cylindrical housing 25. Housing 25 includes a central tubular sleeve 26 maintained in spaced relationship concentrically of electrode tube 15 between axially-spaced coaxial porting collars 27, 28, covered respectively at left and right extremities by left and right end caps 30, 31. Porting collars 27, 28 are identical members having a stepped longitudinal cross-section, characterized by a central portion 32 of increased outside diameter disposed between axially-spaced opposite end portions 33, 34 of reduced outside diameter. The portions 33, 34 are externally threaded to match corresponding internal threading provided on facing adjacent surfaces of sleeve 26 and end caps 30, 31. Respective diameters and diameter reductions of elements 26, 27, 28, 30, 31 are chosen to provide the joined structure 25 with a uniform smooth, uninterrupted outside diameter.
Each porting collar 27, 28 includes a cylindrical inside surface having a centrally located, circular groove 36. A threaded bore 37 communicates groove 36 with the cylindrical outside surface at portion 32. Collars 27, 28 are dimensioned, configured and adapted relative to tube 15 and sleeve 26 so that, when tube 15 is received within the housing subassembly comprising the joined members 26, 27, 28, the outside diameter of tube 15 will be in contact with the inside diameters of collars 27, 28, with grooves 36 of collars 27, 28 located annularly about tube 15 in respective fluid communication with ports 21, 22. Pairs of Viton material O-rings 39 are located in circular recesses on either side of grooves 36 to provide sealing between the outside of electrode tube 15 and the inside of collars 27, 28. Similar sealing arrangements are made at 40, 41 respectively between collars 27, 28, sleeve 26 and end caps 30, 31. Externally threaded gas inlet and outlet elbow fittings 43, 44 are threaded into bores 37 to respectively deliver oxygen rich air to, and ozone rich air from, the sealed grooves 36, as indicated by the labeled arrows.
The sealed space between the outside of electrode 15 and the inside of sleeve 26 defines an annular conduit 47 through which water or other electrode cooling fluid can be passed. Ingress and egress for the conduit 47 is provided by inlet and outlet ports in the form of threaded radial bores 48, 49 which communicate axial extremes of conduit 47 with the exterior of housing 25. Fluid inlet and outlet elbow fittings 50, 51 are threaded into bores 48, 49 to facilitate the communication. Water is preferably flowed into fitting 50 and out from fitting 51 as indicated by the labeled arrows in FIG. 1, in counterflow to the previously described flow of air through the annular gap 16. Housing sleeve 26, thus, acts as a cooling jacket to carry heat generated by the corona discharge away from electrode 15 which itself acts as a heat sink.
The remainder of structure 10 functions to position and isolate the active elements, and to provide connections to a source of high frequency voltage and ground. Spring 12 is extended, longitudinally within glass tube 14 for an axial distance which substantially corresponds to the axial extent of gap 16 through which air is flowed. The vacancies left between the ends of spring 12 and the corresponding open ends of glass tube 14 are filled by elements, such as elastomeric cylindrical plugs 53, 54, which function to center and electrically isolate spring 12. Plugs 53, 54 may be accommodated with O-rings 55 to assure sealing, and augmented by a flowable substance, such as a silicon elastomer caulk 52, cured in place.
Plug 54 includes a stepped axial bore 56 having an enlarged diameter right end into which is inserted an exposed conductor 57 end of an electrical lead 58. Conductor 57 is passed through the rest of bore 56 and attached for establishing an electrical connection between spring 12 and an external source of high voltage. A screw 59 threaded into a reduced diameter left end of bore 56 serves to secure the conductor 57 in place. The hollow core of spring 12 is preferably filled with glass or similar dielectric dense material 60. This reduces the volume of air sealed within tube 14, so serves to extend the useful life of anode 12 by keeping it free from impurities. This life-extending feature can be further enhanced by evacuating the sealed cavity, or modifying the illustrated configuration to enable a dielectric fluid-like transformer oil, to be passed through it and through an external heat exchanger. Connection of the cathode electrode tube 15 to ground is accomplished through connection of the interconnected conductive housing elements 27, 30 to ground at 62. A piece of corrugated metal shim stock 63 or the like may be inserted between facing surfaces of collar 27 and cathode 15 to prevent sparking that might otherwise occur. The end caps 30, 31 may be of composite construction comprising mated insulative inner portions 64 and conductive outer portions 65. The members 27, 28, and outer portions 64 of members 30, 31 may be made of the same stainless steel or other metal material, to provide a uniform electrical potential connection to ground at 62. Inner portion 64 may be made of Norel or similar plastic material. Lead 58 is extended through a bore 67 formed centrally in cap 32, and each portion 64 is dimensioned and configured to encompass and isolate ends of tube 14 that project beyond sleeve 15.
Use of helical spring 12 as the anode has many advantages. One advantage is that a spring will expand and contract lineally, axially within dielectric tube 14, not radially, in response to changes in its thermal environment. Expansion due to heat from the corona discharge will, accordingly, assert itself in a direction to compress the elastomeric caulk 52 and end plugs 53, 54 which are resilient, rather than in an outward radial direction which may break the glass. The spring 12 can, however, be reduced in outside diameter when elongated mechanically, thereby facilitating its insertion into tube 14. Another advantage is illustrated with reference to FIG. 2.
As shown in FIG. 2, oxygen-containing air passed through annular gap 16 between dielectric 14 and cathode 15 will be subjected to an electric field whose intensity varies sinusoidally repeatedly in the axial direction, from maximums occurring above the centers of the wires of the respective coils of spring 12 to minimums occurring above the interstitial gaps between the contacting coils. (The maximums are indicated by the darker upwardly-directed arrows. The minimums are indicated by the lighter upwardly-directed arrows.) Thus, oxygen molecules traveling axially along path 16 will experience a fluctuating field strength of high frequency, determined by the speed of the air stream and the center-to-center separation between the contacting series of coil turns. It is well known that increasing the frequency of the high voltage causing the corona discharge favorably affects the production of ozone. However, heretofore, inexpensive arrangements have been limited to 120 cps. or other frequencies of applied alternating current. The present arrangement enables the application of considerably higher frequencies, without the need to apply special voltage sources. The same effect is not inherent in prior art cathodes of the wire mesh, matrix grid type which present laterally as well as longitudinally varying electrode surfaces to the air current, thereby defining a totally random, or at least less well defined, field strength variation.
FIG. 3 illustrates an ozone generator system arrangement wherein a plurality of ozone generators 10' are mounted in axially parallel positions and provided with a common coolant flow jacket 80. The jacket 80 includes circular walls 82, 83, attached in axially spaced positions to close the ends of a cylindrical wall 84 to define a sealed chamber 85.
The generators 10' have the same general form as the generator 10 previously discussed, with only slight variation. The central tubular sleeve 26, described above, has been omitted, leaving the facing reduced outside diameter portions 33, 34 of porting collars 27, 28 exposed. These are, instead, threaded into correspondingly dimensioned, aligned bores 86, 87 of end walls 82, 83, to mount the generators 10' with their exposed tube electrode 15 sealed within chamber 85. Individual fittings 50, 51 and central sleeves 26 are omitted. Instead, water supply fittings 89, 90 are respectively connected through end walls 82, 83 of jacket 80 to provide water inlet and outlet ports communicated with the chamber 85 to establish a flow of water through chamber 85 for commonly cooling the separate cathodes 15, now exposed within that chamber. A common high voltage power source 98 may be electrically connected to the respective spring cathodes 12 through leads 58. Wall 82 may be of aluminum or other conductive material so that common connection between the separate cathodes 15 and ground may be established through an electrical link formed by the shim stocks 67 (FIG. 1), the collars 27, the wall 82 and the conductive outer portions 65 of one of the end caps 30. The cylindrical wall 84 of jacket 80 may be formed of suitable length of PVC tubing. The operation of the individual generators 10' is the same as the operation of the previously described generators 10.
The modular structure of ozone generators 10, 10' enables ready use of the same components in various length ozonizers. Other than using different length glass tube and electrodes, the only other adjustment required to change the length of generator 10 is to provide a different length central tubular sleeve 26. For the system shown in FIG. 2, the only other change is to extend the length of the cylindrical wall 84 portion of the common jacket 80.
Those skilled in the art to which the invention relates will appreciate that other substitutions and modifications can be made to the described embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as described by the claims below.

Wholesale distribution is a balancing act. Midsize distributors must walk a careful line between satisfying manufacturers as well as customers-and remaining profitable. If a distributor increases its prices too much, the manufacturer may choose to sell its products through a competing distributor or directly. And if the distributor substantially lowers its prices, the organization risks going out of business.
With these limitations on pricing, wholesale distributors seek to maximize profits by optimizing operations. An enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution can help distributors streamline inventory management, warehouse management and financials to increase efficiencies and profit margins. However, one-size-fits-all ERP solutions can introduce overhead and limit future business growth. Distributors require scalable solutions built to meet their unique needs while enabling them to take advantage of new business opportunities.
This white paper explains how IBS's ERP applications enable improved efficiencies, scalability and cost savings.

Change Code Requirements for ADU in San Mateo
This petition made change with 118 supporters!
The affordable housing crisis in San Mateo has hit an all time high. Do you have a relative, friend, coworker who has had to leave San Mateo due to the inability to afford rent? I know I have. The city of San Mateo is asking residents to add ADU's (Accessory Dwelling Units) to there property however the codes that the city of San Mateo have in place make it next to impossible for residents to add ADU's that are separate from the primary dwelling. I propose that the code be changed so that single family one car garage dwellings are able to add an ADU without meeting the current code that the primary dwelling have a 2 car garage. A very high majority of homes in San Mateo only have a single car garage and most of these homes don't even use the garage for parking. This change would allow for more ADU's and more affordable housing for those who are being priced out of the San Mateo Rental market as well as allow homeowners to make additional income now and into retirement.

Fort Worth in the News:
Fort Worth may have earned the nickname "Where the West begins," but it can also be said that our Southern hospitality re-brands us as "where the welcome never ends." It's our unmistakable mix of Western authenticity blended with one of the most vibrant cultural scenes in North Texas that makes Fort Worth a destination spot for international visitors and a welcoming place for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) travelers.
With a thriving nightlife scene, a rich mixture of community organizations and events with deep roots, an unparalleled selection of museums and galleries and dining options for the most discerning palettes, Fort Worth is the perfect vacation spot for LGBT visitors to slip on their boots and kick up some fun.
As a city, we've been consistently ahead of the curve in citizen equality, making history as the second city in Texas to add sexual orientation to its non-discrimination policy. Recently, Fort Worth has made headlines with its unprecedented move to ensure Cowtown's inclusive spirit, including the recent addition of "transgender, gender identity and gender expression" to our anti-discrimination policy, major strides in education and workplace diversity education and the creation of a Diversity Task Force to implement changes and facilitate harmonious relationships among Fort Worth's diverse populations.
The city has also earned a national reputation for being a welcoming home to gay and lesbian families. A recent UCLA study based on U.S. Census data from 2006 named Fort Worth the metropolitan area with the fifth highest rate of same-sex couples raising children in the country.
It's a reputation for which Fort Worth can be proud.
Looking for more? Start your Fort Worth experience now with our free Visitor Guide - it's perfect for planning and is a great resource during your visit.
Why Fort Worth?
"When we first launched QCinema, I had no idea that our GLBT film festival would still be around after 14 years. But it's thanks to the nurturing environment of this city that has helped us grow into a nationally recognized event. Bringing in filmmakers and actors from around the word has reopened our eyes to what an inviting and unique visitor's destination Fort Worth can be. And looking back on the amazing strides of the past few years, it's clear that things are only going to get better."
Councilman Joel Burns
"I am proud to represent Fort Worth as its first openly gay elected official. Fort Worth is where you can still experience the REAL Texas, as cowboys and culture converge in the United State's fastest growing city. And with an active and flourishing LGBT community, Fort Worth affords great experiences to visitors and residents alike.You will find places like no other -- some of the world's finest art museums, amazing architecture, a vibrant downtown nightlife, as well as a history from a bygone day. But more importantly, you will find friendly folks ready to welcome you. These committed, talented and caring Fort Worth citizens are the reasons I call Fort Worth home and why you will want to return again and again."
"Looking back over the past ten years as the general director of Fort Worth Opera, each year has been wonderful because Fort Worth is truly a rewarding place to live. The community seeks rich theatrical experiences in many forms, and Fort Worth is more than just another city - it's a place that actually embodies its motto: Cowboys AND CULTURE. Fort Worth Opera benefits from Fort Worth's pioneer spirit because it allows us to explore new, diverse works like Angels in America and Before Night Falls that we live to share with you."
"Being a native of Fort Worth, I've seen many changes throughout the city's growth; in development, culture, diversity of ethnicity and lifestyle, of strides in social awareness and the many facets of character that make Cowtown, "home"."

We’re proud to announce VoIP Innovations is returning to sponsor TADHack Global 2019, 12-13 October. They’ve been with us since the first TADHack in 2014, thanks to their acquisition of Apidaze in 2017.
VoIP Innovations provides Voice and SMS APIs, as well as a WebRTC SDK for voice, video, messaging and data channel over the internet. Check out and sign up to their resources for TADHack Global here.
TADHack is a series of hackathons that run around the world to help people learn about the latest Internet, IT, and Telecoms technologies; and most importantly use those technologies to solve problems that matter to them. It’s one of the largest global hackathons in the world, running in over 40 countries, with 12k registrations, helping people launch new businesses and services.
It’s an event where people (e.g. students, graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, product managers, IT Managers, coders and non-coders, interested individuals, and subject-matter-experts) collaborate on a software project. Occasionally, there is a hardware component, for example we’ve had some impressive IoT (Internet of Things) hacks over the years, including a robot dancing La Macarena using decentralized web technology.
TADHack Global is made possible thanks to hundreds of people around the world who love technology, and are excited by the democratization of technologies so anyone can use them. They run locations because they want to educate, inspire, and make a difference in people’s lives and the communities they live in. The TAD in TADHack stands for Technology Application Development.
Our hacks include programmable telecoms (voice, video, messaging, phone ID), blockchain, encryption, Ethereum, internet of things, cloud computing, robotics, machine learning, speech and face recognition, trust ratings, mobile payments, enterprise communications, decentralized web, open source, and many other technologies. Check out previous years’ hacks from 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
We’ve helped refugees find lost family members, farmers irrigate their fields better, keep online discussions civil, teams launch companies based on their hacks, the homeless affordably access legal services, improve emergency aid distribution, with thousands of hacks over the years.
At TADHack Global you’ll be able to solve problems that matter to you through using Telesign’s APIs mashed up with any other resources you like. We’re really excited at what we’re going to see from around the world, it’s going to be revolutionary!

We start our round-up of the Premier League with another defeat for Chelsea. Is Carlo Ancelotti really on the verge of calling time at Stamford Bridge?
From there, we analyse Tottenham's dramatic victory in the north London derby; Manchester City throwing caution to the wind and putting four past Fulham; and possibly the most abject performance of the season from West Ham away to Liverpool (who themselves look to have turned the corner. Again).
Finally, we look forward to another round of Champions League games, while Sid Lowe reflects on a glut of goals in La Liga, and we ponder the implications of yet another defeat for Rafael Benítez's Internazionale.
