Q: Hi Steve,
My 1960 Piper Comanche 250 has safely and comfortably carried my wife, my daughter and me to some of our most memorable adventures for the past 20 years. We have also been able to attend to my wife's mother much better because our Comanche reduced the required travel time.
After all this, I arrived at my hangar last Thursday to find a strong smell of gasoline and soon discovered a steady drip of Avgas from the inboard section of the right wing.
Why do I have a leak? I've never had one before.

Culture in Greece
The Greek or Hellenic culture reflects the shared history and common expectations of all members of the nation, but also, they reflect an ethnic history and culture that predate the nation state and extend to Greek people outside the country's borders.
Greece influenced by its location, at the crossroads between the East and the West and by the many occupations of the Greek people throughout history.
Traditions, religious practices, music, food are all integral part of Greek Culture. Large numbers of festivals, especially religious, are celebrated by the Greeks with great enthusiasm. Greeks were initially known to be orthodox, but lately this has changed with the increasing western influence. The Majority of Greeks, follows the Christianity religious.
In general, the Greeks feel particularly proud of their culture and speak of their country with an intense passion. Greeks are feeling that the culture in Greece is a definition of their national and ethnic belonging.
Greece is in southeastern Europe at the point where the Balkan Peninsula juts into the Mediterranean Sea. Greece is bordered by Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey, and the Ionian, Aegean and Cretan seas.
Greece encompasses 50,935 sm. Only 25 percent of the land surface is arable and another 40 percent serves as pasture. There are more than 2,000 islands, 170 of which are inhabited and a long, long coastline.
The climate is predominantly Mediterranean. Hot, dry summers alternate with cold and rainy winters.
Greece has nine regions. These are Macedonia, Thrace, Epirus, Thessaly, Central Greece, Peloponnesus, the Ionian Islands, the Aegean Islands, and Crete. These regions, operated as separate entities in the past, but now they have been integrated into the state and their cultural distinctions are diminishing.
The population rose to 10.264.156 in 1991 reflecting the Greek expansion of national boundaries and the return of ethnic Greeks from the eastern Mediterranean.
During the 19th and 20th century, Turks, Bulgarians and others not ethnically Greeks, left the country in a steady stream that was formalized by the treaties that ended First World War There has also been a continuing emigration of ethnic Greeks seeking employment and opportunity abroad since the mid 19th century. This emigration was initially aimed at the eastern Mediterranean but was redirected toward the United States, Canada and Australia.
Greek language constitutes one of the most important elements of the Greek culture.
It is an Indo European language that has been used in this area since the second millennium BC, although it has considerable changes in now days.
A major division exists between the initial language known as demotic and a formal version known as katharevousa which was developed in the 18th century, to revive elements of ancient Greece. Katharevousa spread very fast in Greece, among political leaders and the intelligentsia. Katharevousa was used for most state documents, in many newspapers and in secondary school instruction until the 70s. Following that period, it was displaced by demotic Greek. The last thing worth mentioning is that the most regions in Greece have their local oral dialects. These dialects never used as writing means. Every region has its local accent.
The Greek Orthodox Church is an integral part of life in Greece where the most important holidays are religious holidays and the national religion is practiced by the majority of the population.
Most of the Greek people are Orthodox Christians and there are small numbers of Muslims, Jews, Roman Catholics and members of Protestant denominations.
Orthodox Church
Greeks are deeply religious people. The Church of Greece is one of the fourteen autocephalous churches of the Orthodox Christian communion, whose territory consists of the whole of Greece except for those parts which belong to the Patriarchate of Constantinople, such as the Dodecanese and Crete and they are members of the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece.
Greece is a profoundly Christian Orthodox country with many examples of holy sites such as churches and historic monasteries scattered in the Greek land and islands.
The Orthodox churches in Greece, are characterized by their particular domed architecture and the well decorated interiors with beautiful frescoes and holy icons.
Their unique character charms everyone and varies depending on the construction period and the region of Greece. Churches in Cyclades islands for example, are whitewashed with blue painted domes. In other Greek regions, the churches are painted with earthy colors. Churches in the Ionian Islands are strongly influenced by the Venetian and Renaissance period while on the mainland churches date back from the Byzantine times.
The Greek Orthodox Church traces it's history back to the time of St. Paul who was the first to preach Christianity in Greece. St. Paul visited Athens, Philippi, Thessaloniki, Veria, Corinth and Crete. Eventually the Christianity spread through Greece from these cities. In these early days of Christians, the Church of Greece comprised a diocese, with Corinth as the centre, known then as Achaia and considered a city of great importance.
Following three centuries of underground existence and persecution in the Roman Empire, it was the Greek Church and the Greek missionaries that carried the Christian message in both the East and the West. This first period ended in 313 with the edict of toleration, where Constantine the Great divided the Roman Empire and prepared the way for Christianity to become the state religion of the later Roman and Byzantine empires. The geographical area we know today as Greece constituted the diocese of Eastern Illyricum which was self governing.
The Greeks for many centuries identified themselves solely as Christians and especially during the centuries of captivity under the Turks.
The term 'Hellene' as an ethnic name began to appear among the Greeks of the high Middle Ages. All nations living outside the Medieval Greek world of the Byzantine Empire, such as the Russians, the Germans, Khazars, the English, called the native inhabitants of the Byzantine Empire, Greeks. The designations Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic were unknown in the early and medieval Church and they took on their distinct meaning only after the eleventh century. By 733 AD, Greece was acknowledged as part of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. During the Byzantine Empire in Greece and the subsequent Turkish occupation, the Christian church in Greece was under the administration of the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople. After the Greek War of Independence (1821), the provisional president of Greece Ioannis Kapodistrias, began negotiations with the patriarch for the independence of the Greek Church.
The final decision was made when Otto I, the new king of Greece, feared the Turkish government might still be able to influence the politics of Greece through the patriarchate of Constantinople and as such the church in Greece was declared autocephalous in 1833. The dependence was formalized by Constantinople in 1850, with some limitations. Under an agreement made in 1908 between the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Holy Synod of Athens, jurisdiction of the churches in America was given to the Church of Greece. In 1927, the statutes regarding the Church were modified resulting in the government controlling the church and attending the Holy Synod meetings.
Today, the Church of Greece is governed by a Holy Synod, presided over by the Metropolitan Archbishop of Athens and assisted by four bishops chosen in regular succession. The Patriarch of Constantinople is still regarded as the spiritual head of the church and all of the Holy Chrism used in Greece is consecrated by him. Organized as a state church, similar to the pattern adopted in the Russian church under Peter the Great of Russia, the ultimate authority is vested in the Synod of Bishops under the presidency of the archbishop of Athens and all Greece.
Customs and Traditions
Most Greek customs and traditions are of a religious nature or coming from paganism. The Greeks are very superstitious and believe in religion but also in supernatural phenomenon. Traditions and superstitions vary from place to place.
Greek Easter is the most important celebration. Easter celebrations begin two months before but Holy Week is the peak of these activities. Based on the Orthodox tradition, the symbolic red Easter eggs are dyed on Holy Thursday. The Greek people believe that dyeing eggs with red color, the color of blood, they celebrate the Resurrection of Christ and life. On Holy Thursday women also bake buns, dough cookies and brioche, the traditional Easter sweet bread. The Godparents buy new shoes, clothes and a candle to the kids.
On Good Friday, the Procession of the Epitáphios of Christ mourns the death of Christ on the Cross with the symbolic coffin, decorated with flowers and carried through the streets by the faithful. During the ceremony everyone lights a candle and then Epitaphios with its procession returns to the church where the believers kiss the image of the Christ. During the night of the Holy Saturday, people, dressed in their formal attire, goes to the church where a ceremony is hold, carrying large white candles. Just before midnight, all of the churches' lights are turned off symbolizing the darkness and the silence of the tomb.
At midnight, the priest lights a candle from the Eternal Flame, sings 'Christos Anesti' (Christ Arose) and offers the flame to light the candle to the people. Everyone passes the flame one to another while the clergy sings the Byzantine Chant Christos Anesti. The church's bells ring continuously and people say one to another 'Christos Anesti', to which the reply is 'Alithos Anesti' (Indeed He Has Risen).
The candles they carry are placed in each house and burn through the night to symbolize the Light's return to the world.
The Good Saturday Dinner takes place after midnight and consists of mayiritsa soup, tsoureki (Easter cake) and red eggs. The cracking of eggs is a traditional game where challengers attempt to crack each others' eggs. The person whose egg lasts the longest is assured good luck for the rest of the year. The Easter Sunday meal is truly a feast with loads of salads, vegetable and rice dishes, breads, cakes, cookies, and plenty of wines and ouzo. The family roasts the lamb on the spit and served in honor of the Lamb of God who was sacrificed and rose again on Easter.
Clean Monday
Clean Monday (Kathari Deftera) is part of the Easter celebration and marks the first day of the season of Lent during which, families go for a picnic, fly kites and feast at local taverns. For Greeks, Clean Monday is one of the most festive holidays of the year.
Mardi Gras (Carnival)
There is a main period of feasting in Greece that covers mardi gras (Apokries). For the Orthodox Church, is the three week period before the Ash Monday when the 40 day long Lenten Fast begins.
The festivities in Greece have their origins in ancient Greece and the celebrations in honor of the God Dionysus, the God of wine and joy that used to take place to celebrate the end of winter. Children almost universally follow the tradition of dressing up and this time f period is a good excuse for fun for the grownups too. Home parties are organized every weekend, reaching their peak in the third weekend of the period and all bars and clubs are decorated to welcome the dressed up party goers. Plaka in Greece is the epicenter of action during this last weekend with thousands of people gathering there and following a self styled parade of the costumed masses.
The celebrations in Greece differ, depending on the particular local traditions. Patra in the Peloponnese claims to be the carnival capital.
A huge parade of thousands of dancing people and kitsch carnival floats ends up with the burning up of the king of the carnival. Ash Monday is a national holiday and traditionally, is a day when people head outdoors to fly kites and enjoy picnics or family meals such as Vegetables, Pickles, taramosalata, grilled octopus, lots of wine and the special flat bread made especially for this day (the Lagana).
Independence Day
Greeks celebrates the Independence Day the declaration of the Independence War against the Ottomans on March 25th, 1821. Apart from a national celebration, this day is also a religious celebration dedicated to the Annunciation of Virgin Mary.
October 28th: The Ohi Day
On October 28th, the Greeks celebrate the day when the Greek dictator Metaxas said No to the Italians who wanted to invade the country during the World War II. It is the celebration of the heroic NO. That day, most of the Greek people put a Greek flag on their windows or balconies. A parade takes place with the participation of
school students, wearing a blue and white uniform and holding Greek flags and
the army
1st of May, ProtoMagia
1st of May in Greece, has a double meaning. It is the Workers Day, a holiday first popularized by the Soviet Union to honor and celebrate, mainly the economical achievements of workers, established in 1880's. This day, you can expect worker's groups and unions to be active that day. Major strikes are often scheduled for May Day. Since May Day corresponds with the peak of the flower season, flower shows and festivals are common, having their roots back in ancient Greece. A very common commemoration is the making of a May wreath which is hung on doorways, balconies and in chapels.
Most of May wreaths are really colorful and attractive, signing people's excitement about the new beginning of nature, life, peace and happiness. People usually enjoy small trips, as well as have a break with a picnic in the countryside. In some places in Greece, daughters in law and girls in traditional costumes collect flowers and exchange nature's goods.
Name Day
In Greece, everyone celebrates the Name Day, of the saint that bears the same name. Everyone named after a saint honored by the church, celebrates his name on a given day of the year. Because of the naming rules in Greece, in many cases, the same names have been used in an unbroken line for hundreds of years in a single family. Often, these names came into use because of a local association with a saint. When someone has a name day, his friends and family visit him without invitation and offer good wishes and small presents. The host greets the guests with pastries, sweets and appetizers.
For the Greek society, it is very important for a couple to become engaged, rather than simply eloping. The engagement period is the time when the two families can become acquainted. The man has to ask for the hand of the woman from her father and her family, while the two families give presents to bride and groom. The importance of engagement has not changed over time. The couple exchanges wedding rings that are worn on the left hand. After the wedding these rings will be worn on the right hand.
The Greek families often hold a large engagement party. The priest will sometimes attend this event and publicly bless the engagement rings. After the couple receives this public blessing, friends and family gather around, shouting out good wishes for the couple.
The engagement period in Greece may last for a long period and it is like a commitment to the families.
Marriage in Greece is another big celebration. In many places, the bride still has a dowry made by her mother, her grandmothers and aunts, consisting of sheets, towels and handmade embroideries, while the father of the bride traditionally offers a furnished home to his daughter and son in law as a wedding gift. On the day of the wedding, the bride gets dressed with the help of her girlfriends and women from her family. The groom must not see the bride during that time because it is believed that is bad luck for the groom to see her before the ceremony.
During the wedding ceremony, the best men and best woman give the wedding rings to the priest, cross the crowns three times and then place them on the couple's head. At the time the priest has declared them married, the guests throw rice and almond candy wrapped with white sugar to the couple. After the ceremony, the bridal couple stays in the church and all the guests kiss them and wish them 'Long Life to You'. Then everybody goes to the wedding reception, which is usually a restaurant rented for the night, where people dance, eat and drink all night long. The following day, the new couple leaves for its honeymoon.
Baptism day is one of the most important days of a Greek Orthodox. Until the baby is baptized it is often called baby and doesn't have a name. The Baptismal in Greece, usually takes place the first year after the baby is born.
At the time of the Baptism, the baby is undressed and wrapped in a white towel. The priest blesses the water and adds olive oil brought by the Godparents. The priest, then, immerses the baby three times saying the chosen name. (Children in Greece are traditionally named after their grandmother or the grandfather.) The priest also blesses the baby and the baby clothes with myrrh (olive oil blessed by the Patriarch). The child is then dressed in white clothes. The priest puts a gold chain with a cross on the baby's neck and gives the baby its first Holy Communion. At the end of the ceremony, the parents kiss the godparent's hands and receive guests' wishes. The ceremony is followed by a celebration at the family's house or a restaurant.
The Greek word philoxenia means hospitality. Philoxenia is defined literally as love of strangers, which is something they are extremely proud of. Greece being a popular tourist destination around the world, welcomes foreigners with warmth. The Greek people are known for their friendliness and openness to meeting new people and doing business with them.
Greeks are very superstitious people and believe in the supernatural or the paranormal, but the superstitions vary from region to region.
Bread: In Greece, especially in villages, bread is considered a God gift. Because of that women bless the bread and make the sign of the cross with a knife before slicing it.
Evil Eye: Many Greeks believe that someone can catch the evil eye (matiasma) from jealous or envious people. Those who have caught the evil eye usually feel bad physically and mentally. To avoid the matiasma one must wear a charm. A little blue marble glass with an eye painted on it or a blue bracelet. Blue is believed to be the color that protects against the evil eye. Garlic is another way to guard against the evil eye, and people often hang it in their houses.
Knives: Greeks never hand a knife to someone because they believe it will bring a fight with the person. Therefore they set it down on the table and let the other person take it.
Priests: Orthodox priests are very revered. In villages the custom is to kiss their hand in respect when meeting them. But it is believed that seeing a black cat and a priest during the same day is bad luck.
Spitting: Many Greeks believe that spitting chases the devil away. That is why when someone talks about bad news or compliments babies, the others slightly spit three times saying 'ftou, ftou, ftou'.
Tuesday the 13th: In Greece the unlucky day is Tuesday the 13th. Tuesday is considered to be the unluckiest day of the week because on Tuesday, May 29th, 1453 the city of Constantinople was besieged and taken by the Ottoman Turks. Greeks also consider the number 13 to be good luck and the main theory is the belief that having 12 apostles of Christ made Christ the 13th of the group. However, the combination of Tuesday and 13 as Tuesday the 13th of the month is considered a very unlucky day within the Greek culture.
Touch Red (Piase kokkino): Greeks believe that saying the same thing at the same time is an omen and the two people will get into a fight. Because of this, when people say the same thing together they must immediately follow by telling one another 'Touch Red' (piase kokkino) and both have to touch any red item they can find around them.
Theatre was born in Greece. The city state of Classical Athens, which became a significant cultural and political power during this period, was its centre, where it was institutionalised as part of a festival called the Dionysia, which honored the god Dionysus. Tragedy (600 BC), comedy (486 BC) and the satyr play were the three dramatic genres to emerge there. Athens exported the festival to its numerous colonies and allies in order to promote a common cultural identity.
The word 'tragedy' is a compound of two Greek words. 'Goat' (tragos) and 'ode' (Odi) which means song. This etymology indicates a link with the practices of the ancient Dionysian cults. It is impossible however, to know with certainty how these fertility rituals became the basis for tragedy and comedy.
Cinema in Greece first appeared in 1896 but the first actual cine theatre was opened in 1907. In 1914 the Asti Films Company was founded and the production of long films started. Golfo, a well known traditional love story, is the first Greek long movie, although there were several minor productions before this. In 1944 Katina Paxinou was honored with the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for For 'Whom the Bell Tolls'.
The 50s and 60s are considered as the Greek Golden age of Cinema. Directors and actors of this era, were recognized as important historical figures in Greece and some gained international acclaim:. Mihalis Kakogiannis, Alekos Sakellarios, Melina Mercouri, Nikos Tsiforos, Iakovos Kambanellis, Katina Paxinou, Nikos Koundouros, Ellie Lambeti, Irene Papas etc.
Cacoyannis also directed 'Zorba the Greek' with Anthony Quinn which received Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Film nominations. During the 1970s and 1980s Theo Angelopoulos directed a series of notable and appreciated movies. His film Eternity and a Day won the Palme d'Or and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.
There were several traditions of painting in ancient Greece. Not all painting techniques are equally well represented in the archaeological record. The most respected form of art, were the mobile paintings on wooden boards, technically described as panel paintings.
Also, the tradition of wall painting in Greece goes back to the Minoan and Mycenaean Bronze Age, with the lavish fresco decoration of sites like Knossos and Mycenae.
Much of the figural or architectural sculpture of ancient Greece was painted colorfully.
This aspect of Greek stonework is described as polychrome. Due to intensive weathering, polychromatic on sculpture and architecture has substantially or totally faded in most cases.
The Byzantine music
The Byzantine music in Greece is also of major significance to the history and development of European music, as liturgical chants became the foundation and stepping stone for music of the Renaissance.
It is also certain that Byzantine music included an extensive tradition of instrumental court music and dance.
There survive a few but explicit accounts of secular music. A characteristic example is the accounts of pneumatic organs, whose construction was further advanced in the eastern empire prior to their development in the west following the Renaissance.
Byzantine instruments in Greece, included the guitar, single, double or multiple flute, timpani, lyre and cymbals

The American College Health Association says one in six college students have been diagnosed with, or treated for, anxiety within the past year – in fact, anxiety is now considered the number one mental health diagnosis among college students. How does resilience play into this – and how does it play out on today's college campuses?
Many of today's students can't manage the pressures facing them – nor have they learned the skills to sooth themselves and carry on in the face of temporary setback and disappointment. Where is their grit?
Join us on November 29, 2017 and our expert presenter, Dr. Gregory Eells – the Director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Cornell University will review the concept of resilience and explore strategic ways that colleges and universities can incorporate resilience development into students' living and learning environments, including a focus on exposure to resilient role models, developing learned optimism, the effective regulation of emotions and coping mechanisms, altruism, reflection and more.
You'll also learn about the components of Cornell University's model Resilience Program, as well as how they are integrating nature and reflection prescriptions into their health and mental health efforts. These practical approaches to student development can be adapted to your specific campus' needs.
Dr. Gregory Eells holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and is currently licensed as a psychologist by the State of New York. (Click here for full bio)
An understanding of resilience in the context of the higher education environment so you can implement specific strategies to most effectively develop necessary life-skill sets in your students.
Foundational concepts on the adaptability and mechanism of the human stress response, how this response is mismatched with the environment of the modern world and why this causes such challenges for today's students – meet them where they are at so you can teach them the skills they need for managing themselves properly.
The various components of resilience and how they impact your students' ability to respond effectively to stress – you'll be able to communicate the importance of focusing human and fiscal efforts in this critical area to key constituents.
A suggested framework of public health programs to facilitate resilience among students on your campus.

BMW i3 Pioneers Combo-Charging Inlet
One of the major concerns with electric vehicles is that they will take too long to charge, especially if you're on the go. No one wants to interrupt a trip for several hours in order to charge their electric vehicle at a public charging station. BMW has taken a large step forward in solving the problem with its Combo Charging System.
The Combo Charging System was developed through collaboration with General Motors, and it allows for the BMW i3 to be fully charged in 30 minutes at a charging station that offers SAE Combo-Charging.
Thanks to the Combo Charging System, the BMW i3 is able to be charged from a standard 110 volt outlet, a 220 volt charging wallbox, public charging station or a DC Fast Charging public charging station all from the same charging inlet.
"The start of the public DC Combo Fast Charging Infrastructure installations in the US is a great base for the US launch of the new BMW i3, because it will offer our customers the ability to recharge their EV in less than 30 minutes instead of the three hours needed with conventional 220 volt public charging stations" said Cliff Fietzek, Manager Connected eMobility at BMW of North America, in a press release.
To learn more about the revolutionary BMW i3, visit us today at Union Park BMW.

Welcome to PROSONIC'S MIDI PROGRESSION SERIES! You've just found THE ULTIMATE CHORD PROGRESSION LIBRARY...
PROSONIC'S new 4-VOICE MIDI PROGRESSION SERIES went GOLD on June 17th 2009 and it's going to blow our creative possibilities wide OPEN!
This isn't like one of those old "chord dictionaries" in a paper book... It's a full-blown MIDI library that's over-flowing with thousands of professional, four-bar chord progressions in multiple time signatures!
You'd have to purchase hundreds of "chord dictionary" books to even come close to the content on this CD, and since they're all in MIDI, you can hear the progression instantly with any MIDI instrument you have. No paper book could ever do that!
This CD is like having a WHOLE LIBRARY of "chord dictionaries" and you can use the chord progressions in your own music royalty-free!
Each progression is carefully crafted to follow correct harmony & voice leading rules and the result is amazing! Each progression can have these chords: Major, Minor, Sus2, Sus4, MajorAdd9, MinorAdd9, Major6, Minor6, Dominant7, Dominant7Sus4, Major7, Major7-5, Minor7, and Minor7-5! All four inversions are included and each chord is notated with MIDI marker events so that you know exactly what harmony is voiced at each spot in the sequence! (see images below)
I've experienced instant inspiration and song writing has never been easier. Each MIDI progression is like a creative launch-pad for your melodic ideas and the 'next part' in the song just leaps out at you! Begging you to take it to the next section!
If you perform an instrument these progressions are an invaluable tool for perfecting your improvisation skills. I play guitar and these have instantly made me a better player.
Just randomly select a progression and loop it over one of the PROSONIC MIDI DRUM BEATS! If you get stuck on a chord and can't seem to find the right notes... just look at the MIDI marker and you'll know exactly what chord it is!
I've found the progressions incredibly useful for honing my bass and vocal phrasing too. I can put up a progression and score a bass line to it. It's really amazing what happens when you have a simple harmonic structure to work from. This is going to revolutionize our craft and I'm extremely pleased to share them with you.
"4-Voices in Simple Rhythm & Common Time Signatures" is a new library in the MIDI PROGRESSION SERIES. These progressions can be used in any style and are perfect for a base layer to build your song up from!
There are over 255,200 four-bar diatonic progressions in this library [and they all sound as good as (or better than) the demos] so be ready to stretch your sonic imagination beyond the limits!
The first folder is the ROOT folder. It contains all of the MIDI Chord Progressions. It is named Prosonic Progressions 1.0 and is selected (highlighted blue).
Inside the ROOT folder are the TIME SIGNATURE folders. In the Simple Rhythms & Common Time Signatures Library there is 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8 and in the Simple Rhythms & Complex Time Signatures Library there is 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 5/8, and 7/8. We currently have the 4/4 folder selected.
Each TIME SIGNATURE folder contains the TONIC QUALITY folders. In this case Major and Minor. Chord progressions in Major Key are found in the Major folder and progressions in Minor Key are found in the Minor folder. We currently have the Major folder selected.
Inside the TONIC QUALITY folders are the CHORD TYPE folders. We currently have the 4-Voice folder selected.
Inside the CHORD TYPE folders are the PROGRESSION START folders. These folders contain chord progressions that start on each scale degree in the key. We currently have the "Start at I" (tonic in major) folder selected.
Inside the PROGRESSION START folders are the actual PROGRESSION folders. Each folder is named according to what progression it contains.
Finally we are at the actual MIDI files. (Examine the file name in the above image.) The file name contains a lot of information about the progression. Each part is seperated by an underscore character ('_').
The first four parts of the filename are the CHORD VOICINGS. If you look at the second file from the top (the one that is highlighted grey). You'll see that the chord progression starts with a Major7 chord with the Tonic as Root. (Imaj7)
The next chord in the progression is a Minor7 chord with the Submediant as Root. (VIm7) Notice that it has the capital letter 'B' after it. This means that the chord is in SECOND INVERSION.[The inversion key is: A = 1st inversion; B = 2nd inversion; C = 3rd inversion.]
The next two chords should be self explanitory now... [It then goes to a IIm6 chord in first inversion then a Vsus2 chord in second inversion.]
The next part of the file name is the MELODIC CONTOUR. This tells us the most prominent direction of the progression. The first letter (in this case 'U') shows the direction of the melody from chord-1 to chord-2 and the second letter (again the letter 'U') shows the melody from chord-3 to chord-4. The letter 'U' stands for Up, the letter 'D' stands for down, and the letter 'S' stands for Unchanged. So, in this instance we get a feeling of the progression going Up... and Up...
The next part of the file name is the BEAT GROUPING. Each digit represents the eighth note count in each beat. So, in the first file shown above, the Beat Grouping is 35. So there are 3 eighth notes in the first group, and 5 eighth notes in the second group.
The last part of the file name is the CHORD STOP INDICATOR. The CHORD STOP INDICATOR is comprised of two numbers. Each number shows what BEAT GROUPING the chords play on. So, if you look at the 5th file down, you'll see that the CHORD STOP INDICATOR is 13. This is not the number '13'! It is One - Three, and it means that the chords sound on the first BEAT GROUPING and the third BEAT GROUPING.
Inside each MIDI progression file are the MIDI CHORD MARKERS. Each chord stop and its chord symbol are provided. So, looking at the image below, each chord has its chord symbol (and its inversion) marked above it. So the first chord is the tonic major in second inversion, and the second chord is a minor second chord in first inversion, etc.
This snap-shot was taken in Sonar by Twelve Tone Systems, Inc.
No, they are exactly the same. The download version contains exactly the same files as the DVD except you can start using them now!
While the word "MIDI" is used to describe a few different things. A "MIDI file" can be thought of as "Sheet Music in Digital". (Sheet music that computers can read and play.)
MIDI is a superior method of music composition for a number of reasons.
If you've ever used audio loops to write music you know how frustrating it can be to get them to fit just right in your song. You might find a great drum loop but how can you develop it while keeping the same drum sounds? You can only make variations on the timbre of the sound itself and that's it.
With Prosonic Patterns you have total control over every aspect of each note. Need to bring the hi-hats up in the mix? Easy! Need to change that note and make it sweeter? Just move it where you want it! Don't like a note... delete it!
You can also use a Prosonic Pattern for any instrument. So you can use a drum loop on any instrument (flute or violin for example) and come up with very unique and creative musical ideas!
You can even change the tempo of a Prosonic Pattern and the sound of the drums will be exactly as you sampled it.
We use the term "4-VOICE MIDI CHORD PROGRESSION" to mean: a 4-bar musical chord progression (in MIDI) where each chord has 4-Voices and is crafted to follow correct harmonic and voice leading rules. Each chord may contain these formulas: Major, Minor, Sus2, Sus4, MajorAdd9, MinorAdd9, Major6, Minor6, Dominant7, Dominant7Sus4, Major7, Major7-5, Minor7, and Minor7-5; in all 4 inversions!
Every Prosonic Pattern is compatible with, and can be loaded into, any MIDI compatible software or hardware device (ie: your favorite sequencer).Loading them into Propellerhead's Reason™ and Twelve Tone's Sonar™ has been especially rewarding. They are perfect for Cakewalk Project5, Battery 3, Cubase, Garageband, Pro Tools, Motif ES, Fruity Loops, EZdrummer, DFH, Sony's ACID® Pro, Ableton Live, and many more!
**We pay local taxes for you. We do not collect VAT tax, or any other taxes that you are responsible for paying, the taxes mandated by the laws in your country or place of residence.
The amount of material that you get for the price is great. These are perfect for when you are experiencing some writers block and just need a go to real quick to get you started. There are so many different combos of patterns, that I don't think I will ever run out of patterns to choose from. There is definitely some gems in these packs too! I appreciate you putting in the time and work to put these packs together! I feel like I definitely got my moneys worth!
I have purchased and regularly now use several Prosonic Midi Libraries
They are inestimably helpful in sparking ideas, developing harmonic progressions, and inspiring melodies that take my original ideas into new directions.
There are so many variations in these libraries that musicians from practically any genre should find them to be extremely useful. And they should be particularly helpful to people trying to understand harmony, composition and music theory.
I give the libraries a big thumbs up!
- Ken Herbst
An amazing collection. Quality. Utility. Flexibility. Attention to detail. Ease of use. These collections are at the top of the heap.
The tracks sound amazing and provide lots of great ideas. Plenty of variety which I can then mix and match and customize.
They are a powerful toolkit filled with MIDI patterns and supporting MetaData to facilitate their use in your favorite DAW or other MIDI application.
They are great for use in composing and as inspiration for new ideas. The documentation and organization are well done.
These are the best products of their kind I have ever used.
I purchased my first Prosonic Libraries 2 or 3 years ago and still find them a superb reference point when looking for interesting drum patterns and also when hunting out chord progression variations.
I highly recommend the triad and 4-voice chord progressions.
The libraries are huge and represent amazing value for money - the chord progressions are exhaustive and I will guarantee that you won't find anything out there to match this unique offering.
On top of all the above Tony is very responsive to any requests and very helpful.
Thanks Tony!
With every collection purchased, I was never disappointed. I appreciate the value for money of each library. I highly recommend Prosonic Libraries to all music producers. The libraries make it much easier to start producing and with a wide variety of genres there is something available for everyone.
The file and folder structure also makes it a breeze to find exactly what your looking for and even if you have little or no musical background (like myself) its not difficult to begin composing using Prosonic Libraries. Don't think just buy!
I have been using Prosonic midi libaries for a couple of years and find them invaluable. I will often start with one of the Prosonic templates as a base and build a song from there. I have used in Ableton, Pro Tools and Native Instruments Maschine Studio.
I will also say the drum patterns were extremely useful as a learning tool when first getting my head around creating realistic drums for my computer based music. I had never played the drums before and other midi patterns I picked up elsewhere were very basic and did not provide much variety.
I do not consider myself an especially creative person. But with the Prosonic libraries I can still make music!
They provide the "get me started" building blocks that I use with my Digital Audio Workstation midi software to expand into full pieces. Transpose, copy 'n' paste, edit here and there, assign instruments to the tracks, and there I am - a complete work! With assurance that "the notes go together", which is an important benefit for someone like me who has only limited music theory. Don't let that hold you back!
I especially like the drum beats, though. And the syncopation options Prosonic provides give me plenty of opportunity to "mix it up" and avoid falling into a simple, boring 4-4 beat.
Thank you Prosonic Studios!
Prosonic Studios libraries provide what can only be descibed as a mind blowingly extensive catalogue of chord progressions and arpeggios.
The wide ranging and comprehensive list of libraries will present you with instant inspiration and will provide you with a rapid way of getting a song started no matter what style or genre of music you produce or play.
If for any reason I am stuck for an idea or have a dose of writers block, I always turn to Prosonic Studios to get my creative juices flowing.
The midi libraries help me when I'm stuck trying to write songs. It is a great way to push your creativity forward. There are many combinations of chords to choose from and the possibilities are pretty much endless. I would recommend these libraries to anyone who don't really have a background in music theory. I personally use Ableton Live in my productions. It is easy to drag and drop the midi patterns into the DAW and start writing a song. Next I try to write a melody over the top or add more rhythm to the chords.
Prosonic midi libraries are great starting material for manipulating midi in Ableton Live (and I assume other programs as well).
They will enhance your creativity as opposed to limiting it if you have enough of an imagination and a playful spirit. Throwing together a mock-up or prototype is fast and easy.
The inspirational kick-starts I get from these sessions have fueled countless song ideas.
It's the collaborative partner I've always wanted. The value for the price is second to none. The possibilities are endless. Thank you for your work!
Hello from Holland!!
I just bought Tony Pappa's midi patterns. The quality is very high.
I make my techno music much faster and easier now. I have now more time for the creative and technical parts of making my music. Now I can play more with the instruments live as the loop is going. Its very user friendly.
I will certainly buy more of Tony Pappas midi patterns and also try other genres to make my music making spectrum much larger.
Thank U Tony Pappas
A seemingly endless supply of files and options. High quality and real musical progressions, I've been able to use and modify these right out of the gate.
I use these progressions to generate drum and keyboard loops. They are easy to access, download, and integrate in my DAW (Reaper). I am also using Native Instruments keyboard and these files work flawlessly with all the NI software.
I will for sure be browsing and using more of Prosonics libraries as they grow and expand. These are worth every penny and more.
This is one of the best products I have ever used in my musical career.
It helps me on almost every track, even if I don't use that exact progression it inspires and gives me a great place to move forward. It gives you a great starting place for your productions.
The only problem i ever had was moving the unzipped midi files to a new drive. There are so many of them that it took 7 hours to move them all. This is not a negative, it is awesome you get so much content for so little. I don't understand how he is able to come up with so much.
As a Prosonic user I can say that my experience has been great.
I am a song writer and a musical producer of TV shows, radio programs, advertisment jingles and life music shows from Mexico City always looking for new ideas, Prosonic has a great variety of music styles and chord progressions that are very inspirational, once you start as a Prosonic user you never know where you are going to stop.
If you are looking for inspiration I strongly recommend this site, it rocks!!! Let the music begin!
I have to say that ProSonic products have really helped inspire my songwriting and filled in the gaps where I was short on ideas. These products can be used as a kickstart to creating a new song or to drop in when you need to change up an existing one to add some color.
I'd highly recommend them to anyone out there wanting to create. You really can't go wrong with the money because similar products can cost much more and don't always offer the same value that ProSonic does.
As a producer building my MIDI library, the Prosonic Studio chords and drum patterns were very useful for instant inspiration.
Also, the chords and drum patterns are also great for speeding up a producer's work flow. We all know how important a speedy work flow is in the music production process. There are thousands of MIDI files and they are organized in folders to keep you organized.
Music producers looking for this should check out these products.
Customer service is top notch as the staff is very responsive to questions/requests.

I bought the Blues and Rock n Roll drum pack and a Triad progression pack from Tony at Prosonic. They have been a great aid in kicking off fresh ideas as they are very simple to access and drop into your DAW of choice.
They are also ideal as material to use as starting points for tracks that you can easily cut and paste to quickly create variations in your music. I had thought for a while the Prosonic packs would be useful but they have exceeded my expectations. Thanks Tony
As a singer, songwriter, and producer who has lots of great ideas, but NOT the greatest foundation in music theory, I have found these libraries to be INVALUABLE in my production. If I have an idea I am toying with, I can always count on these libraries to have a progression that fits. And when I'm feeling a creative block, a few minutes spent browsing them typically gets me going into something that ends up great!
It always brings me joy when someone listens to a project of mine and comments on my playing. I secretly know that without these libraries it would be a different story!!
Couldn't be happier!!
I have been so blessed using the midi provided by prosonic studio it has really opened up my creativity . i have purchased 4-voices in simpleRythm & common time sigs volume 1-4 and also The drum Patterns Rap and hip hop and also Reggae and ska that has giving me thousands and thousands of midi progressions to inspire me and with all of that inspiration it has really taking me out of the Plateau i was finding myself in. I recommend this midi patterns to any producer who wants to be inspired and speed up there work flow
I purchased Triad Midi Progressions for two reasons
1. I needed some MIDI files for music production in my DAWs (Ableton Live, FL Studio and Studio One), and
2. I wanted to learn how to play some of these progressions on keyboards as I am a trained percussionist and not a keyboard player.
What I did not expect was the huge number of MIDI files in the pack, I have not even listened to 10% of them!
I will go back to this library over and over again for inspiration and practice.
I just love this collection!
Prosonic libraries are the most detailed, musical, and comprehensive midi packages in the world.
You cannot find midi samples of this kind of quality and in such large quantity per package anywhere.
Since buying prosonic I have never needed another midi pack and have enough material to feed my vsts for life.
Can't thank you enough Tony, you have eliminated all writers block and given me an infinite pallette of musical capability for years to come.
I was having real problems creating new music. In a real slump. I discovered the chord progression packs and bought a few.
At first I was completely overwhelmed by the sheer size of the collections. I called Prosonic and Tony answered. He was incredibly supportive and helped me get a handle on how to navigate the collections and, more importantly, how to use them.
The progressions are really helping me find ideas for new compositions.
I'm out of my slump and enjoying the creative process again.
I often use the "4-Voice MIDI Chord Progressions" as an Inspiration or as a starting point. It is also useful for me to practice Improvisation.
I'm really impressed about the large amount of Chord Progressions. It's great to use them with Instruments which can play Arpeggios from Chords.
I also like the "Major & Minor Arpeggios" which I often use in my Vienna Instruments Pro Midi Sequencer (you can import Midi-Files...).
I also like that all future versions are free for Life.
It took some time to find something like this. I dont't use it every time, but for me it's like a secret weapon.
With a little effort you can build some good progressions. I usually use the midi within EZ Keys then send the signal to other virtual instruments, lounge lizard, classic organs, pianos etc...
You can even use the midi progressions to send to orchestral vst instruments. All depends on how creative you are using the midi.
All the chord progressions are organized very well, so its easy to lay something down quick. All in all i think its a good package and all at a decent price.
Prosonic Studios has released a new tool that will help you, browse, audition, and play midi files! Prosonic's MIDI Browser is a free midi player that lets you loop, change tempo, and transpose Prosonic midi files as you quickly audition them!
Prosonic's MIDI Browser is included free with any midi patterns library purchased!(Only the PC version for use with Prosonic midi files is available at this time.)
Selecting a MIDI pattern in the pattern browser will automattically load that pattern into the player. (Use the spacebar to start/stop the player and use the mouse, or arrow keys, to change patterns.)
You can loop, change the tempo, and transpose the midi file while auditioning it!
You can quickly save a file to your own custom favorites folder so that you can get to them quickly during a writing or jam session!
You can quickly navigate to any folder on your system by using the Quick-Folder Slots!
In the settings menu you can change to any MIDI output port and setup your favorite and quick-folder directories. If you need more MIDI ports check out LoopBe. LoopBe1 works great and it's FREE! http://nerds.de/en/download.html
"Once again I would like to congratulate you and your team for creating such a worthy product. The midi phrasing library is tremendous, simply top class."
"These Midi files are the best quality over anything else you'll find on the web. Perfect for any producer."
"I appreciate the Blues & Rock especially because the phrases and loops are excellent. I've bought a lot of drum files, loops, patterns, etc. since I first started with my Atari 1040... Your stuff is fresh modern and interesting."
"Thanks for the absolute great customer service this evening. I was able to instantly download the drums tracks I needed.The midi tracks sound amazing with lots of great ideas. Plenty of variety in the drum patterns which I can then mix and match and customize on the fly."
"These midi patterns are awesome! Reason has never sounded so good..."
"Your patterns blow away every one I've heard by far..."

So I went and bought a moon cup soon after the conversation. I googled more information and read anything and everything. Like most women growing up in conservative families with a mother who taught me "cleanliness is next to Godliness" and all things about sexuality were makings of the devil, my vagina was mostly invisible. The biology lessons at school (with male teachers) showed me cross-sections of tubes and balls that made little sense to me except when I had to label the image during a test. Apart from the monthly bleed and gevoevelling with curious boys in my teens, I knew little about my vagina. And I decided to abstain from sex when I was 15 which meant the vagina was officially silenced.
Watching the Vagina Monologues is where it all began. I hate to be so typical but until that point, I couldn't really say the word vagina aloud. And to say it in isiXhosa was close to blasphemy. Friends and I tried to find Xhosa words for vagina: usisi, igusha, isinene/inenene, ikuku (sister, sheep, no translation, cookie respectively). But I still couldn't say much about the vagina. Watching the monologues I realised I related with "My vagina is angry...pissed off!" and much to my dismay, I also related with the old woman who spoke about "down there".
So when I finally heard about the moon cup and decided to buy it, my mind and heart had to make peace with the fact that my vagina is a real part of my body. When talking about menstrual health and vaginas the conversation mostly becomes about sexuality. I have no regrets about abstaining from sex, but this has meant that I have experienced my vagina as purely a biological process and a no go zone at any other time thus far in my life (and this experience may need a blog post of its own). And yes, conversations with girlfriends who are comfortable with their sex lives are becoming a tad awkward because as a growing woman of 24 I'm an anomaly.
And so the day of reckoning arrived when I was going to trial the m-cup. My body balked. Nothing seemed to work and I didn't seem to know what I was trying to do. Instead I ended up in pain and exasperated. The websites I read seemed to assume that every woman wanting to use the cup has a sense of what the vagina was REALLY like. And I realised I didn't and I wasn't keen to have a conversation with my vagina at the time. So I put the cup away and much to my chagrin, returned to the hard, bleached cotton wool:tampons.
Fast foward: a year later and I decided to revisit the idea of using my m-cup. Part of the motivation has been watching the price of tampons and pads escalate every time I buy them. Not only has this been denting my budget, but again, the thought about the environment surfaced (I have similar questions about disposable nappies, where do they go?). Conversations with more friends who have been evangelising the gospel of the m-cup also helped so the process didn't seem so daunting anymore. And this time I had a conversation with my vagina every time I had a bath before my cycle began.
It wasn't dirty or disgusting, but a simple feeling for what it really means to have a vagina. I'm not surprised people who KNOW vaginas love them. They're soft, warm, welcoming and great muscles. So when I used the cup a few days ago, it was a simple process and my instant reaction was "WOW!". When I told a friend, her response included the word "intense". It doesn't have to be. Vaginas and women's sexuality are a beautiful thing and I wish we allowed ourselves more time to appreciate our bodies for what they are not purely as a means to an end for sex, but for the pleasure of what they are...beautiful and blossoming.

The present invention relates to medical suction apparatus including a fluid container with a cover having a patient port for receiving fluid from the body of a patient and a vacuum port for establishing a vacuum in the container for drawing fluid through the patient port, and more particularly to a shut-off valve for the vacuum port.
Medical suction apparatus has long been used in hospitals to remove fluid from a patient during various medical procedures. One type of apparatus commonly used to receive and contain fluid from a patient includes a canister or container covered by a cover, with a patient port and a vacuum port communicating through the cover. A tubular vacuum line is attached between a vacuum source and the vacuum port, and another tubular line is connected to the patient port for withdrawing fluid from the patient, through the patient port and into the container. A shut-off valve is normally used to close or block the vacuum port when the fluid within the container rises to a predetermined level. This prevents the patient fluid from entering and damaging or contaminating the hospital vacuum system.
In order to maximize use of hospital shelf space, it is desirable to store the cover and container in a pre-assembled condition. The containers are commonly frustoconical cup-like members amenable to efficient stacking with a minimum of vertical dead space therebetween. The covers, however, typically have the shut-off valve assembly depending downwardly from the underside thereof by a substantial vertical dimension below the vacuum port which significantly impairs efficient stacking of the covers.
A need has thus arisen for a low profile shut-off valve assembly with minimum vertical extension, and which yet provides excellent vacuum shut-off capabilities.
The present invention provides a low profile shut-off valve assembly and further provides significant improvements in valve-closing action.
In medical suction apparatus having a container and cover with a patient port and vacuum port, the invention provides a basket and float assembly shut-off valve for the vacuum port. The basket depends downwardly from the cover below the vacuum port and has one or more upper vacuum communication passages and one or more lower fluid communication openings. The float is disposed within the basket and has a peripheral floatation surface. The basket and float have complementally interfitting guiding structure incentric to the peripheral floatation surface of the float for guiding the float upwardly to close the vacuum port in response to rising fluid level in the container entering the basket through the one or more lower openings. The floatation surface of the float is uniformly concentric about the guiding structure to provide substantially flush floatation and to provide in combination with the maximized surface area afforded thereby an enhanced valve-closing force.
In another aspect of the invention, a limited amount of post-travel of the float upwardly beyond initial seal engagement with the vacuum port is provided to improve vertical dimensional deviation tolerance. This enables a shorter vertical stroke without increased manufacturing costs.
In another aspect of the invention, an annular auxiliary sealing support is provided for enhanced sealing during post-travel of the float. This auxiliary sealing support further provides a back-up seal in the case of extended over-travel.
In another aspect of the invention, upward movement of the float is enhanced by preventing liquid surface-tension impedance between the float and basket.
In another aspect of the invention, simple and efficient structure is provided affording the aforenoted and other advantages. The basket and float assembly may be stored separately and quickly atached to the cover at the time of use. Alternatively, the cover may be stored with the basket and float assembly mounted thereto. In addition to simplicity, the invention enables a minimum number of components to accomplish improved results. The invention thus affords both lower costs and better performance over prior shut-off valve assemblies.
FIG. 1 is a partial cross sectional view of medical suction apparatus constructed in accordance with the invention, including a container, cover, and basket and float assembly.
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the basket and float assembly and a portion of the cover of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an exploded isometric view of the basket and float assembly and cover of FIG. 2.
There is shown in FIG. 1 medical suction apparatus 10 constructed in accordance with the invention. The apparatus includes a generally cylindrical open-topped container 12, which may be slightly frustoconical for pre-use stacking. The container may include a semi-rigid plastic disposable liner 14 with an annular peripheral lid 16 supported on the container rim. The container is closed by a cover 18 coacting with container liner lid 16 in push down snap-in relation. This type of container and mounting arrangement is disclosed and claimed in the co-pending patent application entitled "Medical Receptacle With Disposable Liner Assembly", Ser. No. 113,620 filed Jan. 21, 1980. Various types of other containers and mounting arrangements may be used with the present shut-off valve.
The cover 18 has a vacuum port 20 connectable to a suitable vacuum source for establishing a vacuum within the container. The cover has a patient port 22 for drawing fluid from the body of a patient through a tubular connection for collection within the container. The cover may also include a pour spout 24 and removable cap 26.
Depending downwardly from the cover below vacuum port 20 is a low profile basket and float assembly shut-off valve 28. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, basket 30 is an open-topped cup-like member having a central vertical tubular sleeve 32 integrally extending upwardly from the bottom thereof. This basket sleeve 32 has annular sidewalls tapered slightly inwardly as they extend upwardly and hence the sleeve is slightly frustoconical. The sleeve has a closed top 34 to thus form a centrally raised downwardly opening elongated cavity 36. The annular horizontal bottom 38 of the basket has one or more openings or apertures 40 formed therethrough for fluid communication. The outer annular wall 42 of the basket diverges slightly outwardly as it extends upwardly. This outer wall 42 has an upper section 44 which is substantially vertical and terminates at an upper lip 46 spaced below the underside 48 of cover 18.
Upper outer wall section 44 has a lateral peripheral annular rim 50, FIG. 3, spaced therefrom and integrally supported thereon by a plurality of radial peripherally spaced support spokes 52. Integrally formed on the outer periphery of rim 50 and extending upwardly therefrom are a plurality of mounting tabs 54 further supported by additional bolster spokes 56. Integrally formed on the underside 48 of cover 18 and extending downwardly therefrom are a plurality of reception pockets 58 peripherally spaced and concentric to vacuum port 20. Each pocket has four corner edge supports 60 extending vertically downwardly with walls 62 extending therebetween defining a rectangular slot 64. Mounting tabs 54 are inserted into slots 64 providing a tight frictionally retained fit. This provides accurate alignment of basket and float assembly 28 with the vacuum port 20. Mounting tabs 54 may be provided with pointed gripping fingers 66 for enhanced retention.
Disposed within basket 30 and complementally configured thereto is float 68. The float is an open-topped cup-like member having a generally tubular vertical reception sleeve 70 integrally extending upwardly from the bottom 72 of the float. Float sleeve 70 has an annular side wall slightly tapered inwardly as it extends upwardly to be slightly frustoconical. The sleeve has a closed top 74 to thus form a centrally raised elongated downwardly opening cavity 76. Basket sleeve 32 forms a vertical guide stalk and substantially fills the lateral dimension of float cavity 76. Basket sleeve 32 substantially fills the vertical dimension of float cavity 76 when the float is in a downward open-valve position as shown in FIG. 2.
The bottom surface 72 of the float extends laterally from the base of reception sleeve 70 and forms an annular peripheral horizontal floatation surface uniformly concentric to sleeve 70. The float has an outer annular sidewall 78 extending upwardly and slightly outwardly. Sidewall 78 terminates at upper outwardly turned peripheral lip 80 whose upper reach does not extend as high as top wall 74. Float 68 thus comprises a sombrero-like-shaped member having a central upstanding crown formed by top 74 and reception sleeve 70. The sombrero-like-shaped float has a peripheral brim extending laterally from the base of the crown and then turned upwardly. The brim is formed by bottom surface 72 and outer sidewall 78.
Mounted on the top side of top surface 74 of the float is a resilient rubber disc 82. Top surface 74 has an integral support post 84 extending upwardly. The disc has a central aperture 86 through which post 84 extends in sealing relation. The disc is concave towards vacuum port 20 and has an outer peripheral lip 88 defining a lateral diameter greater than the diameter of the mouth 90 of the vacuum port. The vacuum port mouth 90 has a frustoconical neck 92 extending upwardly therefrom. Mouth 90 is displaced above the main plane 94 of cover 18 by a raised annular shoulder 96 having a larger diameter than mouth 90. The diameter of shoulder 96 is also larger than the diameter defined by peripheral disc lip 88.
In operation, vacuum is communicated via port 20 through the annular gap passage 100 between basket lip 46 and cover undersurface 48, and through arcuate passage apertures 102 in basket rim 50, to the interior of container 12. This vacuum within container 12 draws fluids from the body of a patient via a tubular connection to patient port 22. Port 22 has a lower spout 104 for discharging the fluid within container 12. As the fluid level within the container rises, it reaches basket bottom 38 and thereafter enters the basket through lower fluid communication openings 40. Rising fluid level within basket 30 effects floatation of float 68. The float rises upwardly along basket sleeve 32. When a predetermined fluid level is reached, disc lip 88 engages the horizontal annular underside 106 around mouth 90 to sealingly close vacuum port 20. This shuts off the application of vacuum to the interior of the container and prevents fluid from being drawn into the hospital vacuum system.
The pair of tubular vertical integrally formed basket and float sleeves 32 and 70 thus provide a complementally interfitting guiding structure incentric to peripheral annular floatation surface 72. This guiding structure guides float 68 upwardly to close vacuum port 20 around mouth 90 in response to rising fluid level in container 12 entering basket 30 through the one or more lower fluid communication openings 40. The incentric guiding structure and the telescoping relation of the sleeves provides superior vertical guiding with minimum lateral free play. This provides both accurate alignment with vacuum port 20 and substantially flush upward movement of float 68.
The sliding interfitting reciprocal telescoping relation of the sleeves and the flush aligned float movement provided thereby significantly improves the sealing characteristics of the shut-off valve. Canting of the float during its upward movement is substantially eliminated. This ensures an annularly uniform tight seal between disc edge 88 and surface 106 of the vacuum port.
Flush upward floatation of float 68 is further enhanced by the annular, uniformly concentric flotation surface 72. Since surface 72 is concentric to the central guiding structure provided by sleeves 32 and 70, the floating surface area is maximized. This maximization of floatation surface area in combination with the uniform concentricity thereof further enhances flush, upward, buoyed movement of float 68. This maximization of floatation surface area further provides an enhanced valve-closing force whereby to provide an increased sealing force of disc 82 against surface 106. Even if there is some slight canting of the float due to the necessary clearances between the sleeves, this increased valve-closing sealing force will compensate such slight canting. The basket and float assembly in combination thus provide significant sealing characteristics.
Upon engagement of disc lip 88 with surface 106 of the vacuum port, the float may continue to rise a short distance. This limited amount of post-travel after seal engagement is significant because it enables a greater vertical dimensional deviation tolerance in the manufactured parts. This in turn enables a short vertical stroke affording a shallow low profile shut-off valve without resorting to expensive manufacturing techniques requiring extremely high degrees of dimensional precision. The limited amount of post-travel can tolerate a higher degree of deviation from specified dimensions, which can become significant on a percentage error basis in a short stroke.
The seal around mouth 90 of the vacuum port is further enhanced by a short upward annular extension 108 of float reception sleeve 70. Extension 108 extends above top wall 74 and forms an auxiliary annular sealing support. In the open-valve position of the float shown in FIG. 2, the underside of disc 82 rests against or is spaced slightly above auxiliary support 108. As the float moves upwardly and disc lip 88 engages surface 106, auxiliary sealing support 108 will bear against the undersurface of disc 82 with increasing pressure. The amount of post-travel of the float will be determined in part by the resiliency of disc 82. During this post-travel, sealing support 108 forms an auxiliary seal against disc 82, in addition to the seal around support post 84 through aperture 86, to thus provide a double seal against leakage along such path.
Annular sealing support 108 also enhances the sealing engagement between disc lip 88 and surface 106 because support 108 is closer to lip 88 than is support 84. This provides auxiliary support for peripheral lip 88 against unsealed deformation thereof.
Sealing support 108 further provides a back-up seal in the case of extended post-travel. If the float moves far enough upwardly, support 108 will pinch disc 82 against surface 106 and provide an annularly localized pressure sealing line around mouth 90.
The top 34 of sleeve 32 is provided with an integral upwardly protruded bump 110. This bump provides point contact means with the undersurface of the top 74 of float sleeve 70. In the downward open-valve position of the float as shown in FIG. 2, bump 110 provides stop means preventing further downward movement of float 68. Bump 110 establishes an annular gap 112 between float bottom 72 and basket bottom 38. Bump 110 further establishes a gap 114 between float top 74 and basket top 34.
Gaps 112 and 114 are significant for preventing liquid surface-tension impedance to upward movement of float 68. Fluid entering the basket through openings 40 will cling to surfaces therein as a film of given depth. If float bottom 72 rests on basket bottom 38, the entering fluid can creep along this interface by capillary action and produce a clinging force between these two surfaces. This clinging force resists upward movement of the float. Capillary fluid action upwardly along the interface between sleeves 32 and 70 may continue to the interface between float top 74 and basket top 34. This produces additional clinging surface-tension force at the interface between float top 74 and basket top 34, which further impedes upward movement of the float. The stop means provided by bump 110 coacts between sleeve 32 and sleeve 70 to provide gaps 112 and 114 so as to prevent coalescense of the liquid surface-tension films on the opposing faces of the gaps. The liquid surface-tension film along the vertical interface between sleeves 32 and 70 does not significantly impede upward movement of the float. This is because of the shearing force effected on any film along such vertical interface during upward float movement.
Cover 18 has a downwardly depending annular flange 116 concentric to vaccum port 20 and incentric to basket rim 46. This flange provides a tortuous flowpath to airborne fluid particle migration toward vacuum port 20. Such airborne particles must travel from within container 12 either over rim 50 or upwardly through arcuate apertures 102, then over lip 46 through gap 100, then downwardly between flange 116 and upper basket wall section 44, then around the bottom of flange 116, then through the annular gap 118 between disc lip 88 and inner lower edge 120 of the vacuum port shoulder, in order to reach mouth 90. This tortuous path minimizes airborne fluid particle contamination of the hospital vacuum source. Flange 116 further provides additional guidance for the float at lip 80 near the top of its travel stroke to further assure proper valve-closing alignment.
Raised annular shoulder 96 provides increased structural strength in the vaccum port against downward force thereon during tube insertion down around neck 92. This raised shoulder further provides an increased vertical guide span for the float while still maintaining low profile of the basket beneath the cover. The annular sidewall 122 of the raised shoulder is tapered slightly inwardly as it extends upwardly.
The vertical guiding structure of the present invention, in addition to performing a vertical reciprocatory guiding function, additionally performs a gasket-less sealing function for float 68. This is important for maintaining buoyancy of the float. Reception sleeve 70 integrally extends upwardly from the float bottom 72 and has an integral closed top 74. This guiding structure thus prevents fluid entry into float 68, whereby to maintain buoyancy thereof.
It is recognized that various modifications are possible within the scope of the appended claims.

#DoYouCare is a campaign by Team V Inspired, a volunteering organisation for young people. The campaign's aim is to raise awareness of young carers – who we are (anyone), what we do (anything) and why we do it (because of everything!). It shows the struggles of daily life. We wake up early, we make sure everyone else is okay throughout the day and then go to bed late.
There are many young carers within the UK, not just me and not just Joe in the campaign. (See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZMnMIu7bJ8). No carer is the same. We all do different things, care for people with different 'problems' and it affects us in different ways. Every carer is an individual but we are not just carers. We are sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, friends of people in our lives. Some people just see themselves as a carer, some don't see themselves as a carer at all.
There are services that can support carers, such as a local carers centre. This is where young carers can go to get support with regards to their caring responsibilities – they can find out about their loved one's illness or condition, can get support with finance (applying for carer's allowance) or any other area of their life which is affected by caring. (Almost all of it!). (See this video for more information – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acp1gOiZuoE).
This campaign is one that is close to my heart. Unfortunately it stops on Monday (9th) but there is nothing stopping you making a pledge to support a young carer. So what do you pledge?
I pledge to keep supporting young carers in my job and when I volunteer.
