Being a bit of an infographic magpie, I lost an inordinate amount of 2012 courtesy of one single Tech Crunch article into what makes a successful ecosystem for start-ups.
Traditional wisdom has it that entrepreneurs migrate to where the money is; like the proverbial bees to a honeypot. I've always felt this to be an over-simplification as most of the entrepreneurs that I've come across, whilst pragmatic and financially savvy, are rarely driven by purely financial motives. The research backs this up, concluding that a complex web of support services are what really makes a start-up hub "hum".
So whilst the concept of a "Best Service Provider to the Tech Sector" category at the SPARKies might at first seem a bit woolly, it is in fact key to what makes the south west such a magnet for high-growth, high-tech businesses. Award sponsors FreeAgent (providers of an online accounting system for SMEs) certainly share this view and were eager to offer their support.
The Innovation Centre, headed up by Simon Bond of the University of Bath, is the first of the shortlisted entries. In addition to providing high-quality incubation space to a range of university spin-outs and external high-growth ventures, they are committed to providing a myriad of other support services. These include mentoring, a flexible co-working area and hosting of influential regional networks (including Silicon Southwest, OpenMIC and BathCamp). A true exponent of giving back to its community of customers, they are also headline sponsors of this year's SPARKies.
A constant challenge in a historic city like Bath is the provision of modern comms systems; the lifeblood of any digital start-up. It is a challenge that Gradwell, led by founder Dr Peter Gradwell, has risen to time and time again. Stand-out examples include providing WiFi access to the Assembly Rooms for last year's X-Media Labs conference and battling BT to install extra lines for a 60 person hack day at extremely short notice. The company continues to grow, securing £1.15m in investment last year to expand their VoiP operations.
Anyone at all familiar with Bath's tech scene will know of iPrinciples, the long-standing service provider run by founders Richard Godfrey and Paul Cross. Recognised globally for their development skills, the iPrinciples team have invested their time and energy in building a variety of local start-ups in 2012 such as TopicLogic (now CloudFind), Cognisess, Artolo and Neighbourly. They are always happy to help anyone looking to start a digital business in and around Bath and regularly give freely our time, advice and useful introductions. The team give endlessly to support the Bath Digital Festival as well as many other events across the region.
The sheer variety of services provided by these companies will surely fuel a heated debate amongst the award judges come the 20th March, with all three deserving of merit for making the southwest such a vibrant place to launch and grow.


text: I have the following idea; after 2 weeks (when no one has replied to a specific thread) the thread automatically locks for normal members, so it isnt possible to necropost for them, anymore. This will allow the helpers / mods etc to spend their time on more important things, members als wont be banned on the forums for not looking when the last message is posted! I hope this will be a good idea!

Years ago I had a band called Chris Wells and the Highballs and we had a regular gig at Atlas Bar and Grill on Wilshire and Western. The band was fantastic – they're the same guys who play with us for The Secret City LA, I'm happy to report. They had a band of their own, called Guadaloop, which was a smokin hot rock band with a killer lead singer named Pinky Turzo. Pinky used to come to our shows and I was always so excited to see her, we became pals and kept in touch over the years. When I was thinking of someone to sing for this month's LA event – this Sunday, March 15th, the theme is ANIMALS – i was trying to think of someone with that animal power and magnetism – who could bring something of pure human animal energy. I thought of Pinky Turzo and she's going to sing for us! I'm so thrilled. I can't wait to hear her and to share her with The Secret City community – and, it will be a reunion of sorts for Guadaloop. We're all lucky.
Here's her bio:
Pinky Turzo was born in Las Vegas, Nevada to a Dolly Parton look-a-like mother and
a rock & roll father. Being that her parents were struggling to be involved in
entertainment, they of course wanted their daughter to have a shot at a career in
the fizzling Las Vegas music business. Naturally, they signed Pinky up for accordion
lessons at age 7. After lugging around a 30 lb accordion for many years, Pinky
realized that microphones were much lighter. By age 16, when she wasn't in school
or singing in the church choir, she was singing Pat Benatar & Quarterflash covers in
hotel lounges on the strip as well as singing in garage bands at stoner parties. The
minute she turned 18, she got on her first plane and flew to Los Angeles under the
pretense of just staying for a short time to sing on a few demos for a family friend,
but once she saw the shimmering lights of Burbank airport, she knew there was no
turning back and that her life in pursuit of being a rock star by the time she was 19
was about to begin.
After getting very lucky and signing with an agent at CAA, Pinky landed a small role
on TV's "Fame" and a couple B movies which shall remain nameless. Then came the
glorious 80's melrose years. Turns out, working on Melrose in it's hay day while
dressed like you're in Siouxsie and the Banshees can get you some attention and
sometimes even a paying gig modeling or in a music video. You might recognize
Pinky as the girl in the pink Middle Eastern garb featured in REM's "Loosing My
Religion" video or in Ween's "Voodoo Lady" video as… you guessed it, "the voodoo
Finally, in the early 90's, Pinky began singing again in bands. After a short lived
recording project with songs written and produced by Ron & Russell Mael of Sparks
called Universe of Love, she became the back-up queen for many LA band's live
shows and records until eventually making her way to the front of the stage in her
all girl blues band, The Blue Bonnets with Kathy Valentine of the GoGo's. And then
again in one of LA's first trip-hop bands, Guadaloop who saw some marginal
success after a West Coast tour opening for Fiona Apple.
After 30 years of living in Los Angeles and a couple close calls with realizing her
rock star dream, Pinky has come full circle. A serendipitous introduction to
legendary producer, John Fryer of 4AD and Mute Records fame, landed her in a
position to finally record an album of her own music, combining her love of the goth
and new wave music of the 80's with the kitschy pop of the Shangri La's in the soon
to be released project, Silver Ghost Shimmer, produced by John and co-written by
the pair.

|Reviews for Zutara 100
| skrybble chapter 2 . 10/10/2009
So so funny. My God, I love Toph. This was awesome-and the characters were absolutely perfect, too. All of these are really good, actually; I'm not a main zutara shipper, but you've done a great job. Hope to see more soon ;)
| zutarababe chapter 2 . 11/2/2008
| Monito chapter 13 . 10/13/2008
they are all very sweet
and very well written
| Kyoshi7989 chapter 13 . 10/3/2008
Yay, you're starting these up again! :D Ah, I LOVE these drabbles...so I'll say something about each one :)
Called Out: Angsty, but IC for both of them. This is actually my second fav drabble of the first, though, 'grumbled' made me think of comical annoyance as opposed to the rage Zuko was feeling.
Nothing Is Ever Easy: pure LOL. Because seriously, WOULDN'T Pakku do something like that? XD And it IS worth it, too-love always is.
Consummation: so sweet, and so was We Learn By the Sea. "His loss, then" was a perfect line for Zuzu-chan, I must admit.
As for Aang Getting Toph Killed-May I offer some constructive crit? "It's all your fault, Aang!" doesn't seem IC for Katara at all. Katara's been the one to defend Aang to others and himself throughout the series (ie "The Storm"). I just can't see her saying something like that to him...
But you did a great job. These drabbles were a great joy to read :)
| NorthernLights25 chapter 13 . 10/2/2008
I liked it!
| C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only chapter 13 . 10/2/2008
I like the pressure on Aang, it keeps it realistic...BUT THE LAST 1 IS THE MOST MEMORABLE! ZUKO'S A CLOSET PERV!
| SarahE7191 chapter 13 . 10/2/2008
I so almost wish the first one had happened. What did Aang learn by just taking Ozai's power away? Everyone had to make sacrifices except for Aang.
| onceuponachildhood chapter 13 . 10/2/2008
His loss, then.
Aw. Best line ever.
| defunct111 chapter 13 . 10/2/2008
Very good!
| Anonymous chapter 13 . 10/2/2008
Whoa, major Aang bashing in this one!
| Kat A. Klysmic chapter 12 . 10/1/2008
Aw, that was so sweet. I really enjoyed this, please keep it up! Also, as a side note, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my hopes up that there will eventually be an Avatar Season Three - Shirtless Zuko style. Please?
| NorthernLights25 chapter 12 . 9/30/2008
I liked it!
| C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only chapter 12 . 9/30/2008
LOL!...Geez, BOTH situations r annoying! I feel bad 4'em.
| shiningsolace chapter 12 . 9/30/2008
XD Yay for happy endings!
I could see Katara and Zuko talking to each other about their relationship problems.
| Mrs Pierre Bouvier chapter 12 . 9/30/2008
That was so cute in a drunken way! Haha threesome with Jet...


text:
He's had plenty to be scared about. After his surprise decision last year to step down with Ian McDiarmid as joint artistic directors of Islington's Almeida Theatre after 12 years, Kent's done opera in Santa Fe, a Broadway musical and a Japaneselanguage production of Hamlet, about to open at Sadler's Wells.
'It was important to rule a line under the Almeida,' he says. 'It was also me launching myself into the unknown.'
Clearly not one to shirk a challenge, Kent was offered the chance to direct a play in Japanese when he took the Almeida productions of Richard II and Coriolanus to Japan.
'The obvious question is how can I direct in a language I can't speak,' he admits. 'Hamlet is arguably the greatest language play in the canon, but I was astonished by what transcends language. But then the greatest theatre I've seen has been Shakespeare in foreign languages. If you can't follow a play by word, your imagination has to do the work.'
Shakespeare has always resonated with Japanese audiences: from Akira Kurosawa's epic film versions Ran and Throne Of Blood, to Yukio Ninagawa's ambitious stagings, including this year's Pericles at the National.
'Traditional Noh [masked theatre] is all about ghosts coming back to exact revenge and laying to rest the ghosts of past lives. And honour, thanks to the samurai tradition, is more familiar to the Japanese than it is to us,' he explains.
The Japanese style of acting - more presentational and rhetorical - has enabled him to highlight other aspects of Hamlet, too.
'So much of the play is about "seeming"; it's about the illusory and artificial nature of power. What I hope we've created is an artificial world - made more so by men playing women - which is punctured.'
Ah yes, the all-male cast. Although these days in this country, womenfree Shakespeare productions are a comparative curiosity, in Japan theatre is still a totally masculine pursuit.
Leading Japanese actor and kyogen theatre practitioner Nomura Mansai has taken the title role. 'His family have been kyogen actors for 300 years and he is the heir apparent, so he understands about being a crown prince,' Kent explains.
Kyogen is a robust, comic form of theatre, like commedia dell'arte; how does it fit into the mix? 'I've got kabuki actors, kyogen actors, Noh theatre, and I think I've got a Western feel. I don't want to give the impression it's something completely radical, but it's people from different schools coming together.'
It's certainly an opportune time for Kent's experimentation: apart from
Ninagawa's Pericles, the Barbican recently staged Complicite's The Elephant Vanishes to good reviews (another case of an Englishspeaking director tackling a Japaneselanguage production).
Now all that remains is to persuade London's theatre-goers to give this a try, too: but Kent thrives on such challenges. His proudest moments at the Almeida were his Shakespeare productions in the dilapidated Gainsborough Studios, and taking Racine to the West End.
It's the irritation of two alien forms meeting that creates interesting theatre: the sand in the oyster,' he says. 'People's imaginations are caught if you twist it. I just hope Hamlet in Japanese is not an imaginative leap too far.'
Hamlet, Thu until Sept 6, Sadler's Wells, Rosebery Avenue EC1, Mon to Sat 7.15pm (except Fri 29 7pm), Sept 6 mat 2.30pm, £10 to £30.

The scrimmage will be on August 6 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. "We'll do it up at their stadium," said Gibbs. "We have a good day's work lined up for us."
Gibbs seemed to want to spike any ill feelings that the two teams may have lingering due to some various perceived slights in the past. "It works out good because they're our neighbors here and we'll have a good scrimmage."
The two teams will meet again in the same stadium on September 1 to finish up the preseason. They are not slated to play in the regular season until 2008.
Gibbs addressed the OTA violations, which will cost the team three practice sessions. "We felt like we were operating the way we should, but after reviewing it, they felt like our line drills were too physical. So, we'll be missing some work next week."
And this week as well. A scheduled OTA session for Friday will be cancelled along with two scheduled for next week. There will be a session on Thursday preceding the minicamp scheduled for Friday through Sunday. That will be all of the work scheduled until training camp for most of the veterans. A few recently-acquired vets will join the rookies for a week of indoctrination, consisting of mostly classroom work with a few individual drills.
Although Gibbs repeated said that he felt that the team was conducting its sessions properly, he refused to characterize the penalty as too harsh. "The important thing is that we want to have a good relationship with the players' union, we always want to be within the rules," Gibbs said. After we turned the film in, it was determined that ours was too physical. . We felt like we were doing what we should have been doing. . . If they (the union) think that we were doing something out of bounds. . .it's something we'll have to deal with."
Gibbs then revealed that, for the first time since January, he talked with Sean Taylor. The second-year safety who has drawn a ton of negative attention for refusing to return Gibbs' calls, being the only player to miss the OTA's and, last weekend, getting arresting on felony assault charges.
"I had a good talk with him," Gibbs said. "We had a personal conversation. . .He related what happened (in his legal matter from his side of it; we had a good talk."
Gibbs did not elaborate on his talk with Taylor despite numerous attempts to get him to do so. "It was a general conversation, a good conversation between me and him. . .I don't have a lot to add about what we said, it was a personal talk and I though we had a good talk."
In regards to Rod Gardner's status, Gibbs said that there was nothing new to report. The best he had to report in regards to a potential trade was that "One team has kind of hinted that they were maybe trying to do something." Not exactly a lot of rock-solid offers to sift through.
Gibbs said that he does not expect Gardner to be at minicamp and he does not expect him to be in training camp, "unless something changes between now and then."
He also said that R. W. McQuarters, the free agent cornerback who visited Redskins Park a couple of weeks ago, was still in the process of deciding which of a few offers to take. As to other potential roster changes between now and the start of camp, Gibbs said that he wouldn't rule that out, that the team would evaluate any player released by another team, but he didn't anticipate any additions.

The present invention relates generally to respiratory apparatus, and more particularly to a portable light weight completely self-contained emergency single patient ventilator/resuscitator which can be used at the scene of emergencies by persons with minimal training and yet will provide safe forced ventilation.
While ventilators and/or resuscitators are well known in the art, these devices have been primarily developed for use in hospitals. Thus, such devices are typically fairly cumbersome, utilize the hospital oxygen supply system, and are typically plugged into an alternating current outlet in the hospital. These typical devices are neither self-contained nor portable. Additionally, they cannot be used in emergency situations by persons with minimal training.
In order to provide for treatment of patients experiencing respiratory distress at the scene, various techniques and equipment have been developed. One technique is mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. However, even with a one-way valve, the practitioner may find that this form of resuscitation is not only tiring but is also unpleasant. In addition, the oxygen content of the breaths to the patient is only about 16%. Furthermore, volume, pressure and breath rate delivered to the patient tend to be inconsistent.
Manual bagging is another manner of providing ventilation or resuscitation. However this form of respiratory therapy requires some training and is tiring after only a short time. Like mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, volume, pressure and breath rate delivered to the patient tend to be inconsistent. While cylinder oxygen may be utilized as a source of oxygen when using manual bagging, the oxygen cylinders are heavy and bulky, and they additionally require frequent maintenance to insure that a full charge is maintained.
If forced ventilation with a manual flow valve is used in connection with cylinder oxygen, over pressurization of the patient is a possibility. Thus, resuscitation using cylinder oxygen typically should only be attempted by persons with proper training.
In order to overcome the disadvantages of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, manual bagging (either with or without cylinder oxygen) and other apparatus developed for use at the scene of an emergency, a portable apparatus has been developed, which apparatus is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,651,731, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference thereto. This apparatus is a completely self-contained portable single patient ventilator/resuscitator which utilizes a solid state oxygen generator in the form of a chlorate candle. Several adjustable features and various modes of ventilation are provided on the above apparatus and thus the patented apparatus is required to be used by persons with respiratory training. The patented device, while considerably less costly than those units typically utilized in hospitals, it is also more expensive than needed to be used safely by people with only minimal respiratory training.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable light weight completely self-contained emergency single patient ventilator/resuscitator unit which can be safely used in emergencies for cases of respiratory distress or arrest and for injury trauma victims by persons with minimal training.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an apparatus of the type referred to above which is less complex and lower in cost than prior known devices.
The above objects and other objects of this invention are achieved by providing a housing which supports a solid state oxygen generator in the form of a chlorate candle, the housing additionally supporting a pump in the form of a venturi ejector, a two-position valve, and suitable primary controls which are utilized to automatically control the inspiratory:expiratory ratio, the inspiratory time, the expiratory time, the breaths per minute, the flow rate, the tidal volume, the minute volume, etc. Various fluid lines interconnect the valve with the power supply, the pump, and controls. In accordance with one feature of this invention, the controls include a fixed volume timing chamber which is disposed about the venturi ejector. In accordance with another feature of this invention, the housing is provided with a void adjacent the timing chamber, which void acts as an accumulator during the expiratory cycle. In accordance with another feature of this invention, the two-position valve may be switched from its expiratory position to its inspiratory position against full pilot line pressure by a push button or the like should the operator desire to give extra breaths or sigh breaths. In addition, the push button can be so positioned that the valve may be maintained in its inspiratory position, which may be desirable when the patient is breathing on his own and only requires extra oxygen over that which he would normally receive from ambient air.
The foregoing features and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be more fully understood after a consideration of the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which a preferred form of this invention is illustrated.

Referring first to FIG. 1, the portable light weight completely self-contained emergency single patient ventilator/resuscitator apparatus of this invention is indicated generally at 10. The apparatus includes as its major components a housing assembly indicated generally at 12, outlet tubing 14, an oral/nasal mask assembly indicated generally at 16 and a head harness assembly indicated generally at 18. Mounted within a portion of the housing assembly 12 is a solid state oxygen generator in the form of a chlorate candle 20, the candle acting as a power supply to the apparatus during its operation. A number of other major components of the ventilator/resuscitator of this invention are also mounted within the housing assembly as will be brought out below.
The housing assembly consists of a number of components, including a metal mounting plate or base plate 24 overlying a rubber-like foam pad 22, the base plate 24 being provided with an intermediate portion 24.1 which is adapted to be disposed parallel to the lower surface 22.1 of the pad 22, a forward downwardly extending flange 24.2 and a rear upwardly extending flange 24.3. Overlying the intermediate portion 24.1 of the base plate 24 is an elongated saddle bracket 26. The saddle bracket is secured to the base plate 24 by suitable fasteners 28 which pass through apertures in the saddle bracket and base plate.
Mounted on the intermediate portion 24.1 between the forward flange 24.2 and the forward side of saddle bracket 26 is a box-like member 30 which is rigidly secured at its lower end to the intermediate portion 24.1, the box-like member having front and rear sides 30.1 and 30.2, respectively, and also left and right sides 30.3, 30.4, respectively. Disposed between the upper and lower ends of each of the sides is an inwardly extending apertured flange 30.5. The front and rear walls are also provided with upper notches or cutouts 30.6, 30.7, respectively, which cutouts permit the entry of air into the box-like member. The rear side wall 30.2 is provided with rearwardly extending buttons or studs 30.8 (only one being shown). The top of the box-like member is closed by a cover 32 which is secured in place by fasteners 34.
A somewhat flexible molded plastic candle enclosing member 36 is secured at its rear side 36.1 (to the right in FIG. 2) to the upwardly extending flange 24.3 by fasteners 38 (only one being shown). A forward portion 36.2 of the enclosing member is provided with suitable apertures which receive the buttons 30.8. As can be seen best from FIG. 1 the upper intermediate portion of the candle enclosing member 36 is provided with suitable ribs 36.3 and apertures 36.4 to permit the dissipation of the heat which evolves when the candle 20 is in operation. Finally, the housing additionally includes a shield or bracket 40 which is mounted upon the left-hand end of the metal plate 24 to the left of the box-like member 30 as best seen in FIGS. 3, 4 and 7. The shield has upper and lower parallel portions 40.1 and 40.2 joined by an intermediate portion 40.3. The shield is secured by screws 41 (only one of which is shown) that pass through weld nuts 42 secured to an upper surface of the portion 40.2, the head of the screw bearing against a lower surface of the intermediate portion 24.1 of the plate 24.
The chlorate candle, as is conventional, is provided with a firing mechanism at one end, the firing mechanism being indicated generally at 43 in FIG. 1, the mechanism including a pin 44 which is connected to a lanyard assembly 46. By pulling the lanyard assembly 46 and the associated pin 44 the operation of the chlorate candle can be initiated. The chlorate candle 20 is also provided with a fabric handle 48 to facilitate its removal from the housing. The end of the chlorate candle remote from the firing mechanism 43 is provided with an outlet port 50 (FIGS. 7 and 8) which includes an O-ring 52 or the like. A fitting 54, which can be telescopically received by the outlet port 50 as best shown in FIG. 8, is carried by a machined element 56, which element is provided with a bore 58, the fitting 54 being tapped through the element into the bore 58. The machined element 56 is secured to the intermediate portion 24.1 by a screw fastener 60 which along with a sealant (not shown), closes off the bore 58. Finally, the machined element 56 is also provided with a tapped aperture 62 (FIG. 9) disposed at right angles to the fitting 54, the aperture 62 also being disposed below the fitting 54.
When the candle is assembled into the housing it is placed upon the saddle 26 and is slid from the right to the left until the outlet port 50 is telescoped over fitting 54. The candle is now secured in place by swinging an L-shaped retainer 64 (FIG. 2) from an inoperative position shown in dot-dash lines to its operative position shown in full lines. To this end the retainer 64 is provided with a curved slot 66 which receives a screw 68 (FIG. 4), which screw carries an enlarged knurled head 70. One end of the L-shaped retainer 64 is provided with a circular aperture which is disposed about a cylindrical tubular element 72 which projects outwardly of the right side wall 30.4 of the box-like member. The L-shaped retainer is additionally provided with an inwardly extending tab 74 (FIG. 3) which is adapted to bear against the right-hand end of the chlorate candle 20. Finally, the L-shaped retainer 64 is also provided with a handle 76 to facilitate its movement between its operative or full line position shown in FIG. 2 to or from its inoperative position shown in dot-dash lines in FIG. 2.
The outlet tubing 14 is of conventional construction and is secured about a reduced diameter portion 72.1 of the cylindrical tubular element 72 by a conventional clamp 78 which is of the type typically used in an automobile to secure radiator hoses and the like. The other end of the outlet tubing is secured to a reduced diameter portion of a combination inhalation exhalation valve 80 by a clamp 82 which is similar to the clamp 78. The valve 80 forms a portion of the oral/nasal mask assembly, the valve in turn being secured to a face piece 84 in any conventional manner not relevant to the present invention. The face piece 84 can in turn be secured about the face of a patient by the head harness which includes straps 86 and buckles 88 (only one of which is shown).
Mounted within the box-like member 30 are a number of components essential for the delivery of oxygen from the chlorate candle to the patient. These components include pump means indicated generally at 90 (FIG. 5), a two-position valve indicated generally at 92 (FIG. 4), primary control means indicated generally at 93, and interconnecting fluid lines. In addition, a filter 94 is supported upon the flange 30.5, the filter being of such a height that its top edge, when supported on the flange, is disposed immediately below the notches or cutouts 30.6 and 30.7 in the boxlike member 30. The pump means 90 is mounted within a generally rectangular enclosure 96 which has a length generally the length of the pump means and a width substantially equal to the width of the box-like member 30 between the front and rear walls 30.1 and 30.2, respectively. It can be seen from an inspection of the drawings that there is thus an internal void 98 within the housing assembly 12, the void being that volume of empty space within the box-like member 30 below the filter 94, which void is only partially filled by the rectangular enclosure 96, two-position valve means 92 and various fluid lines and control elements. This void defines an accumulator, and also may also act as a fluid line.
The two-position valve 92 is a typical air piloted relay spool valve. The valve includes a valve spool 100 (FIG. 6) mounted within a suitable valve body 102. When the valve spool is in its expiratory position, shown in FIG. 6, land 100.1 of valve spool 100 will lie between an inlet port 104 and a first outlet port 106 in the valve body 102. In addition, land 100.2 of the valve spool 100 will lie between a second outlet port 108 and a pilot line port 110 as it also does in the inspiratory position. The expiratory position is attained by introducing a fluid under pressure from a source of pilot line pressure through port 110 sufficient to bias the valve spool upwardly to the position illustrated against the downward force exerted by relay spring 112 and also the downward force exerted by detent ball 113 on a groove 114 of the valve spool. This position will be maintained until the downward force exerted by the relay spring 112 exceeds the upward force exerted by spring biased ball 113 on a groove 114 plus the upward force exerted on valve spool 100 by the pilot line pressure, at which time the valve spool will shift away from the position shown in FIG. 6 to the position shown schematically in FIG. 10. When the valve spool is in the FIG. 6 or expiratory position the inlet port 104 is effectively in fluid communication with the second outlet port 108. When the valve is in the inspiratory position shown in FIG. 10 the inlet port 104 is in fluid communication with the first outlet port 106. The operation of the two-position valve will be more fully described below.
In operation, the operator will place the mask and head harness on a patient and initiate operation of the ventilator/resuscitator by pulling on the lanyard assembly 46 to remove the pin 44 to cause the operation of the firing mechanism 43, which will in turn cause the chlorate candle 20 to commence its operation. Once the chlorate candle commences operation it will discharge oxygen through outlet port 50, bore 58 in machine element 56, and then through the tapped aperture 62 into a dryer 116. From the dryer the oxygen will then pass through a first or power supply line 118 to the inlet port 104 of the two-position valve 92. As can best be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4 the power supply line 118 passes through the left hand sidewall 30.3 of the box-like member 30. The oxygen, which is discharged at approximately 50 psi, provides sufficient power for the functioning of the present apparatus. When the two-position valve 92 is in its inspiratory position as shown in FIG. 10, oxygen delivered to the inlet port 104 will be delivered to the first outlet port 106. From the first outlet port 106 oxyen will be delivered through inspiratory fluid line 120 to the driving portion of the pump means 90. the driving portion being indicated generally at 122. In this connection it should be noted that the pump means is of the type which is sometimes called a venturi pump, and sometimes called an ejector. In any event, the pump is provided with a venturi portion 124 (FIG. 5) which extends from a narrow portion 124.1 adjacent its left hand end to an enlarged portion 124.2 at is right hand end. Immediately to the left of the narrow portion 124.1 is a bell-shaped portion 124.3. The bell-shaped portion and the enlarged portion are both adhesively secured to the rectangular enclosure 96. Disposed to the left of the bell-shaped portion 124.3 (as shown in FIG. 5) is an end cap 126 which is provided with a central aperture 126.1 and a plurality of apertures 126.2 disposed between the central aperture 126.1 and the periphery 126.3 of the end cap. Gas from the accumulator 98 may pass through the apertures 126.2 into the venturi. The inspiratory fluid line 120 is connected with a port defining element 128 threaded into the left hand end of the central aperture 126.1. A jet orifice 130 is threaded into the right hand end of the central aperture 126.1, the jet orifice acting as the driving portion of the venturi or ejector pump. When oxygen flows through the jet and into the narrow portion 124.1 of the venturi gases from the accumulator 98 will be drawn into the bell-shaped portion 124.3 and will be caused to be mixed with the oxygen within the venturi as it is moved through the pump. The bell-shaped portion 124.3 can be considered to be the suction portion of the pump, and the enlarged portion 124.2 can be considered to be the discharge portion.
It can be seen that there is a chamber 132 between the rectangular enclosure 96 and the venturi portion 124 of the pump, this chamber serving as a fixed volume timing chamber. First and second ports 134, 136, extend through the rectangular enclosure 96 to the chamber 132. First and second control lines extend from the inspiratory fluid line 120 to a Y-fitting 139 and then to the first port 134, each of the first and second control lines 138, 140, being provided with a check valve 142 and a fixed orifice restrictor, either 144a or 144b, respectively. The restrictors regulate the flow into and out of timing chamber 132 and can be selected to provide any reasonable inspiratory and expiratory time. For example, a normal inspiratory time of about 1.33 seconds and an expiratory rate of 2.66 seconds. As can be seen from FIG. 10 the check valve 142 in the first control line 138 will permit flow only from the inspiratory fluid line 120 through restrictor 144a to the first port 134. Similarly, the check valve 142 in the second control line 140 will permit fluid flow only from the first port 134 through restrictor 144b to the inspiratory fluid line 120. A pilot line 146 extends from the second port 136 to pilot line port 110 on the two-position valve 92.
As oxygen is being delivered to the driving portion 122 of the pump means 90 a small portion of the oxygen is also flowing through the control line 138, past the first check valve 142, and first restrictor 144a through port 134 into the chamber 132. As the pressure builds up within the chamber 132 the pilot line pressure, which acts upon land 100.2, will eventually exceed the downward pressure exerted on the spool by the spring 112 which engages the upper end 100.3 of the spool and the detent ball 113 which engages one of two detent grooves 114. The greater pressure in the pilot line will cause the valve spool 100 to shift from its inspiratory position to its expiratory position, which position is shown in FIG. 6. When this position is achieved the other groove 114 will be engaged by the spring detent ball 113. Flow from the power supply 20 in line 118 will now be delivered through the second outlet port 108 into the supplemental air line 148. The supplemental air line 148 terminates within accumulator 98, the air line being provided with orifice 148.1 in order to maintain proper back pressure. It can be seen that when the valve is in the expiratory position that oxygen will be delivered to the void or accumulator 98 forcing air out of this area through the filter 94. After the valve 92 has shifted to its expiratory position the over pressure in the timing chamber 132 will be bled through port 134, restrictor 144b and also through the check valve 142 in control line 140, and then through the inspiratory line 120 to the jet orifice 122. When the pressure in the timing volume chamber 132 has fallen below a predetermined amount the spring 112 will then cause the valve spool to be shifted back to its inspiratory position. When the valve 92 is in the inspiratory position the oxygen delivered to the accumulator will now be drawn into the venturi through the peripheral ports 126.2. It should be noted at this point that in FIG. 10 that a portion of the supplemental air line means 148 is shown in phantom. As can be seen from the actual construction illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 there is only a short line 148 provided with restrictor 148.1, and in reality the phantom lines illustrated in the schematic drawing correspond to the void 98. The flow rate to the patient is additionally regulated by providing a restrictor element 150 (FIG. 5) in the cylindrical tubular element 72, which tubular element is an extension of the rectangular enclosure 96. This restrictor element regulates the volume of air delivered to the patient and may be set so that only, for example, 5 liters per minute of oxygen and air are delivered to the patient. It should be noted at this point that the primary control means 93 include the restrictors 144, check valves 142, fixed volume chamber 132, line 148, restrictor element 150 as well as various other properly sized elements. Control elements 144 and 150 may be varied at the factory or by a service technician to vary inspiratory and expiratory times, tidal volumes, flow rates, etc.
It should be appreciated that without intervention, and during the operation of the power supply 20, that the apparatus of this invention will continue to cycle as long as oxygen under pressure is being discharged from the chlorate candle. By properly selecting the restrictors 144a, 144b, and 150 in conjunction with the size of the fixed volume chamber 132 it is possible to set up the device in various manners. For example, the inspiratory time may initially be set to 1.33 seconds and the expiratory time to 2.66 seconds, providing an I:E ratio of approximately 1:2 and which would in turn deliver approximately 15 breaths per minute. After the ventilator/resuscitator of this invention has been in use for a period of time it has been found by testing that the oxygen delivered to the patient may be as high as 92%.
It may be desirable, during the expiratory time, or at the end of the inspiratory time to give additional breathing time, to provide either extra breaths or to give sigh breaths. This feature is incorporated into the apparatus of this invention and is accomplished by pressing down on knob 152 which forms part of a secondary control means. When knob 152 is depressed it will cause the spring 112 to become additionally compressed, thereby increasing the spring pressure exerted upon the spool 100 to such an extent that the spool will be shifted from its expiratory position shown in FIG. 6 to its inspiratory position shown in FIG. 10, the spring pressure being such that it exceeds the force exerted by the pilot line pressure on the valve 92. The structural relationship between the knob 152 and the two-position valve 92 is best shown in FIG. 6. In this Figure it can be seen that the lower portion of the spring 112 extends through a spring retainer 154, the upper end of the spring bearing against a flange portion 156.1 of knob stem 156, the knob 152 being suitably mounted on the stem by means of a set screw 158. Upward movement of the flange portion 156.1 is limited by an internal flange 160.1 of a valve body extension 160, which extension is provided with a cylindrical opening 160.2 which receives a lower portion 162 of knob 152.
At times when the patient is breathing and forced ventilation is not required, such as in the cases of injury trauma, it may be desirable to provide a constant flow of mixedair and oxygen to the patient. This is accomplished by maintaining the knob 152 in its full down position. At this time the mask must be loose on the face so that the patient can breath in the O2 /air provided, but can exhale easily against the constant flow. To maintain the knob 152 down, the lower portion 162, which is elongated in one direction, is shifted below an elongated aperture 164 in cover 32 (FIG. 6A). Thus, when the knob 152 is pushed down, the upper edge 162.1 of the lower portion 162 will be disposed below the lower surface 32.1 of the cover 32. It is now only necessary to rotate the knob 152 a few degrees to trap the lower portion 162 below the cover 32 thus maintaining the two-position valve means in its inspiratory position shown in FIG. 10.
While a preferred embodiment in which the principles of the present invention have been incorporated is shown and described above, it is to be understood that widely differing means may be employed in the practice of the broader aspects of this invention. Thus, it is to be understood that this invention is not to be limited to the particular details shown and described above, but that, in fact, widely differing means may be employed in the broader aspects of this invention.

Visitors arriving at San Francisco airport are met by an exhibition of images of Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin and other icons of the flower power era. Every guidebook to the city contains a eulogy to "the spirit of '67" and a trip to the Haight-Ashbury district is high (pun intended) on any tourist trail. A few sad and notable casualties apart, it seems that old hippies never die; they simply become tourist attractions.
It's a far cry from the scene 30 years ago. The official police report on the "human be-in" complained of "hippies high on LSD obstructing and creating a nuisance". Dozens were bundled away in paddy wagons while the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jefferson Airplane played for free and Timothy Leary, the LSD guru, chanted "turn on, tune in, drop out". Over the coming months, to the consternation of the city authorities, an estimated 200,000 young people heeded the call and moved into the area around Haight and Ashbury Streets, a short stroll from Golden Gate Park. Hashbury, as it inevitably was known, became the hippie capital of the world.
Some were drawn by the drugs and the "free love"; others had an interest in Eastern mysticism. But above all they were drawn by the music. In addition to the Dead, the Airplane and Quicksilver there were Country Joe and the Fish, the Steve Miller Band, Santana and Janis Joplin, all living, playing and getting high within a few blocks of each other. It was an extraordinary flowering of musical talent.
Today the sites associated with flower power's brief blooming have become much visited. Fiftysomethings who look as if they took one trip too many, and kids who weren't even born in 1967, mingle in Golden Gate Park, strumming guitars and smoking dope. There are more ponytails than at a gymkhana and sufficient acres of swirling tie-dye to induce a permanent migraine.
Top of any psychedelic heritage tour is 710 Ashbury, a large, rambling house where the Grateful Dead lived in communal style throughout 1967. It was famously busted for drugs at the end of that summer in a police raid that marked the beginning of the end of the hippie dream. The Dead moved out in March the following year. A sign put up by the owners asks the legion of "Dead heads" not to ring the doorbell. Those wishing to pay tribute to the late Jerry Garcia are invited to leave flowers: "If you do respect Jerry and believe in peace and love then you will respect our wishes and good karma will follow you in your life."
On the corner of Haight and Cole Street, a two-minute walk from the Dead's house, was the Straight Theater. As a farewell to the area, the Dead parked two flatbed trucks across the street, ran a cable from inside and played the free concert pictured on their Live Dead album. The theatre was chaotically run as a hippie community centre and didn't have a dance licence, so the bands playing there had to pretend to be giving dancing lessons. Santana were among those who got their start here. Today a "thrift store" (charity shop) stands on the site.
At the other end of Cole Street is the Panhandle, a thin, green artery running parallel to the Haight and leading into Golden Gate Park. Here the Diggers, a group of anarcho-syndicalists, dispensed free meals to hungry hippies, and it was also here in June 1967 that Jimi Hendrix made a legendary impromptu appearance with equipment borrowed from the Jefferson Airplane.
Almost every street around the Haight has tales to tell of rock'n'roll craziness.
At 112 Lyon Street, Janis Joplin lived with Country Joe McDonald. Unsurprisingly, her rowdy lifestyle did not endear her to the neighbours and Janis was evicted early in 1968. Yet it was not sex, drugs or even loud music that were her downfall here: Joplin was thrown out for a breach of the "no pets" clause in her lease. Today a sign in the house next door tells those who come to gape at the scene of her excesses, "RAD". On closer inspection it stands not for Remember the Acid Dream, but for Residents Against Drugs.
An infamous palace of rock and roll debauchery was the Jefferson Airplane's mansion at 2400 Fulton Street. The Airplane were always the aristocrats of San Francisco rock, with a big record company advance which they invested in an imposing four-storey house with Doric columns. The opera singer Caruso sheltered in the house during the 1906 earthquake, but in the Airplane's heyday the mansion rocked with infamous parties, often lasting days at a time. One celebrated bash is pictured on the front of the band's album Bless Its Pointed Little Head, with bassist Jack Casady passed out with his hand still gripped around a bottle.
With views over both Golden Gate Park and the ocean, the mansion occupies one of the prime real estate sites in the city, and the Airplane who once sung "up the revolution" eventually made a very capitalist profit on the property.
Another much-visited location is the imposing mansion overlooking Buena Vista Park where the Steve Miller Band made their early recordings in a basement studio, before the singer went on to stardom as the Space Cowboy, the Gangster of Love and The Joker. The house was later owned by ex-Hollie Graham Nash. It is much photographed by fans who believe, wrongly, that it is the home he sang about so smugly in Our House "with two cats in the yard", with Crosby, Stills and Young.
If Golden Gate Park was the birthplace of the summer of love, then Buena Vista Park at the other end of the Haight was its final resting place. The dream was too good to last and by October 1967 hard drugs and street crime were rife in the area. The Diggers organised a mock funeral in the park, at which they buried the sign from the Psychedelic Shop at 1535 Haight Street, the world's first such emporium, where half of the space was given over to a meditation room called the "calm center".
Where the Haight hippies once burnt their incense and contemplated the nature of the cosmos, you can today buy a take-away pizza.
By 1968 most of the musicians had moved out of the Haight, many of them the short distance across Golden Gate Bridge to the clean air and giant redwoods of Marin County. Just over the bridge is the harbour of Sausalito, the original setting of Otis Redding's classic "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay". The soul singer had become a hippie hero following his storming appearance at the Monterey pop festival and in August 1967 was playing a week-long residency in San Francisco. When his downtown hotel was besieged by female fans he was invited to stay on one of the ramshackle houseboats in the dock and the result was his best - and last - song. He died in a plane crash three months later.
San Francisco has always been a city rich in musical association. Al Jolson died here after recording a radio show with Bing Crosby, and Billie Holiday was busted for possession of narcotics. The suite where she was raided at the Mark Twain Hotel now commands a premium rate and is decorated with press cuttings of her arrest.
Fittingly, the birthplace of flower power also hosted the death of punk when the Sex Pistols split up in the city after an epic fight between Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious and manager Malcolm McLaren at the Miyako Hotel.
Yet, musically, it will always be the summer of love for which San Francisco is best remembered. Anyone who was ever briefly touched with the spirit of 1967 will find Haight-Ashbury an evocative trip down memory lane. Get out the tie dye and the bell-bottoms, wipe the dust off those scratchy old records - and be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
If you're going to San Francisco ...
Go now. Nigel Williamson flew just before the latest fares cut, with TWA via St Louis for pounds 346 return; he stayed at the Californian Hotel (001 415 885 2500) in the city centre for $89 (pounds 53) per night. Now, you can fly non-stop from London Heathrow to San Francisco on British Airways (0345 222111), United (0181-990 9900) or Virgin Atlantic (01293 747747). The latter has a "MegaSaver" fare of pounds 307 return, including tax, if you book before 25 January.

I do want to thank you for your prompt response, and appreciate the time it took you to do so. However as I am in Toronto, Ontario, I think it would beneficial to me to look in this city first before sending the part to you. Thank you for your time and offer of assistance. Cindy
