“A” is for Activist – Interview with Innosanto Nagara
As a parent in Portland, Oregon, I’m constantly astounded at how many clever ways that children’s food, clothing and events can be marketed to hipster parents. There are baby boutiques like Treehouse or BeanSprout, children’s musicians like Mr. Ben and Talullah’s Daddy, kid’s coffeeshops like POA or Cafe Au Play. And have you seen some of the clothing? Knit scarves that look like faux-beards, bicycle helmets with fuzzy ears. Fake mustaches and ironically ugly pretend glasses. These innocuous novelties are worth a chuckle. And yet, it was one book in particular, that was worthy of purchase, two years ago. My daughter is a toddler and yet she delighted in words like, “J is for Justice! Yay for Justice! Jia-Jing Jiang. Juanita. Jamal. Justice for Janitors, Justicia for all!”
Tongue twisters sure sound nice, and yet some of the messages on the thick, bright pages of “A is for Activist!” actually triggered tears.
“F is for Feminist
For Fairness in our pay.
For Freedom to Flourish
And choose our own way.”
I was inspired that a book like this existed, and I was thrilled that a person out there was offering these messages of passion for a new generation. And so, we found him. Here to talk on ethical children’s art, I met with Innosanto Nagara.
Who are you?
I’m a social justice activist and a graphic designer in Oakland, and founding member of Design Action Collective. I was born and raised in Indonesia and came to the US to study zoology. 27 years later I’m still here. My partner is an interfaith organizer who works on labor and immigrant rights issues. I work in a worker co-op. We live in a co-housing community. And I train martial arts at a collectively run dojo. So we’re all about shared resources, democratic structures and human rights.
What martial art?
I train Danzan Ryu Jujitsu and Aikido at Suigetsukan Dojo in Oakland under Professor Mike Esmailzadeh.
What other books/art have you published?
A is for Activist was my first book. Counting on Community, is coming out September 15, 2015. It is not just a numbers version of A is for Activist though. Where A is for Activist is about the issues, Counting on Community is about how we live. Both are board books for younger children and their families. Next year I have a picture book for 5-10 year-olds coming out that is a story based on an experience I had in my youth, called My Night in the Planetarium. But more on that next year.
I’ll be sure to look for those! How old is your child?
Just turned five.
What was your inspiration behind “A is for Activist”?
My son. I just wanted to have a book that would be unapologetic in its representation of our family’s values that I could read with him and not be bored by myself. There is a kid layer and an adult layer to A is for Activist, which I think is important because bored parents don’t model the love of reading and enthusiasm for ideas that is the whole point of reading with your kid. It’s not about learning what an Ostrich looks like or even that the word Apple starts with A. ABC books are not how you learn to read. But they are part of how you lean that reading is fun and words are fun and there is a world of the imagination.
The adult layer definitely is appreciated, by me, when reading it to my daughter. The hidden cats are a nice touch.
Kids love cats. In Counting on Community they get to look for ducks. Kids love ducks too.
How was the book received?
Surprisingly well. I originally just made it for my child, but then other friends saw it and asked me for a copy. So I decided to see if there would be interest beyond that and did a Kickstarter campaign that was successful and allowed me to self-publish a run of 3000. Those quickly sold out and I had to decide if I was going to print more or find a real publisher. It turns out I found a wonderful partner in Seven Stories Press/Triangle Square Books for Young Children. They also published Cory Silverberg’s What Makes a Baby and Marcus Ewert’s 10,000 Dresses—both radical books for progressive families as well. They knew how to get it out there and now there are 50,000 copies in print. I really thought there would be a lot more negative reaction from the right wing, but outside of a short conniption fit that Fox Nation blog readers had when they wrote about it, it’s been very positive. There are more of out there than you think.
Good ol’ Fox. I’m sure the worst thing that they can call you is a “Socialist”.
That was actually not the worst thing. They were pretty freaked out and a bunch of keyboard warriors were apparently doing research into my background, etc. A lot of threats. A lot of racist stuff. But the truth is, since I was doing my own book sales at the time, it made absolutely zero difference. So I just marveled at the vitriol. I’m much more troubled by like-minded folks who have issues with the the book that I think are missing the point. It brings out my urge to explain. But y’know, you can’t please everyone.
Is it carried by vendors nationwide? Worldwide?
Yes. Distributed by Random House. There is also a Spanish adaptation titled A de Activista, written by the amazing Martha Gonzalez from the Grammy Award winning band Quetzal. As well as a Swedish translation.

Did you know that the healing properties of the placenta can be stretched even longer than the postpartum period? Tinctures are potent substances extracted from steeping some of the fresh or powdered placenta. This powerful solution can be used in any time trauma, emotional distress, through sleep deprivation; transitions back to work, or even as far out as menopause.
Other benefits of the tincture may include:
- Balancing out and reducing chronic symptoms of PMS.
- Easing anxiety and emotional distress post baby.
- Because the tincture contains hormones, it can help relieve stress in times of difficulty for the entire family.
- Please see a Homeopath or Naturopath doctor before using with baby or child for suggested dosage.
- Tincture may even be used to decrease insomnia and sleep deprivation.
Tincture stores indefinitely so it may be used into menopause to reduce hot flashes and balance hormone fluctuations.
The suggested dosage may added to coffee, tea, water or juice two to three times a day during times of need. Because of its potency, it is not a remedy suited for ongoing daily use beyond times of need.

US 4328698 A
A device for calibrating and/or testing a pressure-responsive transducer comprises a piston and cylinder assembly connectable by a transducer dome to a pressure-sensitive face of the transducer. The piston and cylinder assembly comprises a relatively small diameter chamber through which a piston is controllably movable in air-tight contact with the interior wall of the chamber. The relatively small diameter chamber is in communication with a larger volume compression chamber, which is provided with an outlet port which is sealed an adaptor for connecting the piston and cylinder assembly to said dome.
The piston is manually movable through the small diameter chamber from a retracted position, in which the chamber is vented to ambient atmospheric pressure, through a series of predetermined intermediate positions, each of which corresponds to a known increased pressure value in the dome.
1. A device for calibrating and/or testing a pressure-responsive transducer comprising:
a first, relatively large volume, gas-tight chamber having an outlet for connecting the device to a pressure responsive transducer;
a second, elongate, gas-tight chamber in fluid communication with said first chamber;
wall means movable longitudinally through the second chamber to vary the effective gas-tight volume of the second chamber;
vent means for connecting the interior of the second chamber to ambient when the wall is at the end of the chamber;
means for moving said wall means through said chamber; and
means for indicating the amount of movement of the wall through the chamber and hence the increase in pressure at the said outlet.
2. A device for calibrating and/or testing a pressure-responsive transducer comprising a barrel member having a stepped internal bore defining a large diameter chamber and an elongate, smaller diameter chamber, a piston movable through said small diameter chamber to vary the effective volume thereof and means for indicating the extent of movement of the piston through the chamber and hence the increase of pressure within the bore.
3. A device according to claim 2 wherein the piston is secured by its outer end to a sleeve which surrounds the small diameter chamber of said member, and cooperative pin-and-slot means are provided on the member and the sleeve to guide and limit the movement of the sleeve, and hence of the piston, with respect to the small diameter chamber.
4. A device according to claim 2, wherein the slot includes several axially extending portions interconnected by circumferentially extending portions.
5. A device according to claim 2 wherein the large diameter chamber is closed at its end remote from the smaller chamber by a plug which extends into the chamber and is axially movable to vary the volume of said large diameter chamber whereby the device may be adjusted to compensate for variations in ambient barometric pressure.
6. A device according to claim 2 wherein the smaller diameter chamber has vent means for connecting the interior of the chamber to the surrounding atmosphere, the vent means being so positioned that the chamber is vented to atmosphere at one extreme of movement of the wall means only.
The present invention relates to devices for calibrating and/or testing pressure-responsive transducers, for example, transducers used in equipment for monitoring blood pressure.
Such pressure-responsive transducers comprise a diaphragm which, in use, is exposed to the pressure to be measured and which is moved thereby an amount related to the magnitude of the applied pressure. The movement is converted into an analogue electrical signal, the magnitude of which represents the magnitude of the applied pressure.
Before such a device is used, and periodically during its use, it is necessary to calibrate and/or test the transducer by exposing it to known pressures and checking the signal generated thereby. The operation and construction of such pressure-responsive transducers is well known and, as it does not form part of the present invention, will not be described in further detail in this specification.
It is an object of this invention to provide a novel construction of a calibration/testing device for use with a pressure-responsive transducer.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a calibration/testing device which is simple, but reliable in operation and yet relatively inexpensive in construction.
Prior devices for testing and calibrating blood pressure monitoring equipment comprise means for applying a reference pressure from a suitable source to the diaphragm of the transducer while simultaneously measuring the applied pressure with, for example, a mercury manometer or some other precision pressure gauge. It will be apparent that such a device is time-consuming in operation.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a device for use with blood pressure monitoring equipment that is expeditious for calibration and set-up and periodic reverification and test of the monitoring equipment.
It is a yet further object of the invention to provide a device which can generate systolic/diostolic type pressure waves.
According to the present invention, a device for calibrating and/or testing pressure responsive transducers comprises a piston and cylinder assembly. The cylinder comprises a relatively small diameter chamber, through which said piston travels, and a larger volume compression chamber in communication therewith. The piston is in sealing engagement with the walls of said small diameter chamber and means are provided for moving the piston through said chamber from a retracted position in which the chamber communicates with atmospheric pressure or other reference pressure to a number of pre-selected positions within the chamber, each corresponding to a predetermined pressure above the atmospheric or other reference pressure at an outlet port of said compression chamber.
Preferably, mechanical means are provided for releasably retaining the piston at each of said positions.
The operation, features and advantages of the invention will become more evident from the following description of the preferred embodiment, which is offered by way of example only, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a testing/calibrating device embodying the invention, and
FIG. 2 is a section on the line II--II of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIG. 1, the device of the present invention comprises a piston and cylinder assembly 11, which is connected via an adaptor 13 to a transducer dome 15 which, in turn, is connected to a pressure-responsive transducer 17 forming part of blood-pressure monitoring equipment (not shown).
The piston and cylinder assembly 11 comprises a cylindrical barrel 21 of suitable plastic material, such as LEXAN, which has a cylindrical internal bore 23 extending therethrough. The bore 23 is of stepped configuration to provide within the barrel 21 a number of chambers of different diameter. A first end 25 of the barrel 21 is formed with an internal screw thread and an end plug 27, having an externally screw-threaded portion, is secured therein.
The end plug 27 has a shank portion 28 which extends into the bore 23 of the barrel 21 and which carries an "O" ring 30 located in a groove in the shank portion 28. The "O" ring 30 provides an air-tight seal at the end of the bore 23. The end plug 27 carries the adaptor 13. The portion of the bore 23 extending from the end plug 27 is of relatively large diameter and constitutes a compression chamber 29 of the device. At the end of the chamber 29 remote from the end plug 27, the bore 23 is stepped inwardly so that the remaining portion of the bore 23 constitutes a working chamber 31 of relatively small diameter.
Within the working chamber 31 is accommodated a reciprocable piston 33, which carries at its forward end a deformable seal 35 ensuring air-tight contact between the piston 33 and the internal walls of the chamber 31. The piston 33 is carried by an outer cylindrical sleeve 37, which has a closed end wall 39 to which the end of the piston 33 is connected by means of engaged screw-threads on the two parts. The piston 33 is disposed co-axially within the sleeve 37, which surrounds the rear end of the barrel 21. Preferably, the engagement of the piston 33 within the chamber provides the means of locating the sleeve 37 and there is a small clearance between the inner wall of the sleeve 37 and the outer wall of the cylindrical member 21.
At its rear end, the bore 23 has a vent portion 41 of larger diameter than the portion 31 such that when the piston 33 is withdrawn from the working chamber 31 to the fullest extent permitted, it enters the portion 41, allowing an annular vent to be opened around the periphery of the seal 35 connecting the interior of the chamber 31 to ambient atmospheric pressure.
The extent of movement of the piston 33 in the working chamber 31 is governed by a pin 43 extending radially outwardly from the cylindrical member 21 and disposed towards the rear end of the cylindrical member 21. The pin 43 extends through a slot 45 formed in the sleeve 37. As seen in FIG. 1, the slot comprises four discrete portions 45A through 45D which extend axially with respect to the sleeve 37. Adjacent portions 45A through 45D are joined by portions 45E through 45G of the slot, which extend circumferentially around the sleeve 37.
As discussed above, the working chamber 31 has a small internal diameter compared with that of the compression chamber 29 and, in a typical embodiment, the volume of the chamber 31 is approximately 5 cc and the volume of the chamber 29 approximately 15 cc. The exact volume of the compression chamber 29 can be adjusted by axial movement of the end plug 27. It will be appreciated that the small diameter of the chamber 31 ensures that relatively large axial movements of the piston 33 are required to effect significant changes in the pressure at the outlet of the chamber 29, so that the device has high sensitivity in operation.
The device constructed and arranged as described above is dimensioned so that the successive movements of the piston 33 through the chamber 31 from the vented position cause increases in pressure of 50 mm of mercury, 100 mm of mercury, 150 mm of mercury and 200 mm of mercury respectively at 45G, 45F, 45E and the end of 45A. If necessary, the volume of the chamber 31 can be adjusted during assembly by selecting the exact position of the piston 33 with respect to the end of the sleeve 37, prior to securing those parts together by a suitable adhesive. The position of the end plug 27 is also pre-set in manufacture to calibrate the device to a prevailing barometric pressure in the place where the device will be used.
Further adjustment of the device is normally made on site, i.e. in the hospital or doctor's office. To perform this on-site calibration, the transducer of the blood-pressure monitoring equipment is first calibrated by connecting it to a disposable dome which is, in turn, connected to a mercury manometer. The manometer is then operated to produce a pressure of 200 mm and the trace thus produced is noted. The manometer is then disconnected from the dome and the adaptor 13 of the device connected in its place. The device embodying the invention is then operated, several times, from the vented to the 200 mm of mercury position, and the trace produced by the calibrated transducer again noted. If necessary, the end plug 27 is rotated to vary the volume of the chamber 33 until, on three successive operations, the correct trace for 200 mm of mercury pressure is produced. An atmospheric pressure scale 47, marked in inches of mercury, provided on an adhesive-backed strip of plastic, is then attached around the front end of the cylindrical barrel 21 with a zero marking opposite a mark provided on the face of the plug 27. The device is now set up for operation at the prevailing barometric pressure and will remain substantially correctly calibrated virtually indefinitely. It is customary, at this stage, to obtain a value for the prevailing barometric pressure. If, at a later time that pressure has changed, the device can be adjusted by rotating the plug 27 the required amount, as measured by the scale 47, to compensate for the change in barometric pressure.
The device may advantageously be employed to generate a variable pressure wave similar to the systolic/diostolic wave produced by the human blood circulation system. This is done by repeated cycling of the plunger 33 between the positions defined by, say, the slot portion 45F and the forward end of the slot portion 45C. The trace from the pressure wave generated in this way is observed to check that the blood pressure monitoring equipment is functioning properly in response to a systolic/diostolic pressure wave. Moreover, the device operated in this way can be used as a teaching aid to demonstrate the trace to be expected during blood pressure measurements.
In use, the device is initially adjusted with the piston 33 withdrawn to the fullest extent into the venting portion 41, so that the working chamber 31 and hence the compression chamber 29 are vented to ambient atmospheric pressure. In this position, the pin 43 rests at the outer end of the axially extending portion 45D of the slot 45. The piston 33 is then moved into the working chamber 31, by a distance governed by the length of the portion 45D of the slot 45, deforming the seal 35 into sealing contact with the wall of the chamber 31 and shutting off the chamber from atmospheric pressure. At the end of 45D, the circumferentially extending portion 45G of the slot acts as a stop preventing further movement of the piston 33 into the working chamber 31 until the sleeve 37 is rotated with respect to the member 21, enabling the pin 43 to travel over the portion 45G of the slot 45. It will be appreciated that the configuration of the slot 45 provides positive stops between the fully withdrawn and fully inserted positions of the piston 33 with respect to the working chamber 31.
In an alternative embodiment, venting of the chamber 31 is achieved by means of a radial passage extending through the wall of the chamber 31 near its rear end. The passage is so positioned that it is in front of the seal 35 when the piston is withdrawn to its fullest extent, connecting the chamber 31 to ambient atmospheric pressure, and to the rear of the seal 35 when the piston is moved into the chamber 31. In this embodiment, the vent portion 41 of larger diameter is not required.
While the above description has illustrated use of the device with air and ambient atmospheric pressure as a medium, it is equally possible to operate using some other gas, such as sterile nitrogen, supplied to the device from a source of reference pressure, so that when the chamber 31 is vented, it is connected to said source.
It will be appreciated that instead of connecting the adaptor 13 directly to the transducer dome 15, a length of flexible tubing may be employed connected at one end to the adaptor 13 and at the other end to the transducer dome.

What are the advantages of Title Tags, Meta Tags and Meta Keywords
Meta Tags :
The meta tags are a very important part of the HTML code of your web page. They are read by the search engines but are not displayed as a part of your web page design. Usually they include a concise summary of the web page content and you should include your relevant keywords in them. Most meta tags are included within the ‘header’ code of a website. The most important tags are the title, description, keyword s and robot tags. It’s important to note that there’s a big difference between Title tags, Meta description tags and Meta keywords tags. First of all, the Title tag is *not* a Meta tag.
Title Tags :
The meta title is the most important tag on the page. You can see what your competitors are using as their title tag by looking at the blue bar at the top of your browser when you visit their website. You should always work your major phrases into the Title tags on your pages, and make sure that each page of your site uses a unique tag. The title tags should be between 10-60 characters. This is not a law, but a relative guideline a few more symbols is not a problem. You won’t get penalized for having longer title tags, but the search engine will simply ignore the longer part.
Meta Description tag :
The Meta Description tag gives a brief overview of the document. The Meta Description tag is a short, plain language description of the document. The description tag should be less than 200 characters. Search engines that support the Meta Description tag will use the information to publish on their search results page, normally displaying below the Title of your site listing. The meta description tag also has a great importance for the SEO optimization of your page. It is most important for the prospect visitor when looking at the search engine result page – this tag is often displayed there and helps you to distinguish your site from the others in the list.
Meta Keywords tag :
The meta keyword tag has become the least important tag for the search engines and especially Google. However, it is an easy way to reinforce once again your most important keywords. We recommend its usage as we believe that it may help the SEO process, especially if you follow the rules mentioned below. It is recommended to use the Meta Keywords tag with caution. Make sure to only use keywords that are relevant to your site. Search engines are known to penalize or blacklist your site for abuse. The Meta Keywords tag also exposes your keywords to your competitors. Search engines used to look at this tag too, which contained a list of keywords the webmaster wanted to rank for. Unfortunately people started abusing it and nowadays you get no additional boost for using it in your pages.

Many of you are following the STEM OPT saga closely. As the original deadline of February 12, 2016, approaches, we are providing this brief update.
As background, the OPT (optional practical training) program is part of the F-1 student visa program. Most students qualify for 12 months of OPT following graduation. Students with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) majors can qualify for an additional 17 months of OPT in certain situations.
The STEM OPT program was challenged in court on the basis that the government had not followed the Administrative Procedures Act in promulgating the rule. The court agreed but gave the government until February 12, 2016, to comply.
The government published a proposed rule, as required, in time to comply. However, public response to the rule was unprecedented (more than 50,000 comments were submitted). Therefore, the deadline for publishing a final rule in time to meet the February 12, 2016, deadline has passed.
The government has asked for a 90-day extension to the deadline. Additionally, the ruling is on appeal and the appellate court could also in a sense extend the deadline by not allowing the lower court’s order to go into effect on February 12.
Unfortunately, all we can do is wait and see.
In the very worst case scenario, the STEM OPT program would end February 12 and students in that program would have 60 days to leave the U.S. However, they could not work after February 12.
Given the wide-spread ramifications of this rule on both students and employers, it is hard to imagine this happening. But we cannot completely count it out. Students on STEM OPT are advised to remain in the U.S. or to return before February 12 as a precaution.
Those planning to apply for H-1Bs may still do so, but if the program goes away, October 1, 2016, would be the earliest that work could be authorized.
We will notify you of any developments.
UPDATE: Today, January 22, 2016, the court held a hearing regarding whether to extend the February 12, 2016, deadline in the STEM OPT case. She did not rule, but said she would do so quickly given the deadline.

Speaking at the Department of Trade & Industry's Women in IT conference Hewitt said that IT companies need help to reorganise their working hours so that they could improve the representation of women workers in the IT industry.
"The current situation means women are missing out on opportunities to earn the higher wages available in the IT sector. It's also bad for business and bad for the economy," she said.
The cash comes from the DTI's three-year, £7m programme to address the skill
needs of high-tech industries.
IT companies will be invited to bid for up to £55,000 in consultancy fees to help them to develop policies to attract, retain and develop women in the workplace.
Funding is also available to encourage people from ethnic minority communities, disabled people and older workers into IT.
Applications from small businesses are being particularly encouraged. Stephen Alambritis from the Federation of Small Businesses urged companies to take advantage of the scheme. "In the IT sector it is not uncommon to work all hours and under enormous pressure. Staff are often reluctant to ask for more flexibility so it works well for the company to get independent advice from consultants."
The deadline for applications is 8 March.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by oxrbrs Accessibility & spacious rooms
Hotel is located very near the city centre and great location to see some local tour sights. Rooms are very spacious which is comparable to American hotel rooms. But, the rooms need major refurbishment. Furniture are a bit outdated. Shower curtains smell a bit. Hallway carpets are old, as well. However, staff were kind and helpful.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by cowenuk A great weekend stay
We had a lovely two nights here despite some poor Plymouth weather. The staff were warm and friendly, the room clean and pleasant (with a good shower) and the food we had was very good. The view from the top floor restaurant is quite exceptional and it we enjoyed looking out whilst eating breakfast. If visiting Plymouth then this is probably the best choice for a hotel in the City.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by tonks43 Great views from the restaurant
This Holiday Inn is just about ready for a refurbishment. The Views from the top floor restaurant over the Hoe and Plymouth Sound are amazing.
It would be nice though if Christina the restaurant Manager spent less time telling everyone else what to do and more time doing her own job. Two nights in a row I had to wait a minimum of 5 minutes to be greeted and I was not the only one who was left waiting at the far end of an empty restaurant. The rest of the restaurant staff were great, friendly and efficient and they were coping very well without the constant managerial interruptions which were within earshot of the clients.
As a Gold elite customer I expected a welcome drink or points and free wifi. Neither were offered to me by Angela, I had to request them myself.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Adrian321 Disappointed
You would think that The Holiday Inn would be guaranteed quality but think again. Our bedroom was at the back and we soon realised that there was a continuous sound coming from outside our window from a generator. This went on for 24 hours and all through the night.
We rang reception 3 times from our bedroom but no one answered. We finally managed to get through the 4th time. The swimming pool was closed in the health suite. We were informed that it had been closed for some time. The staff were very friendly but there was a party on the Saturday night and not enough reception staff. There was a long queue at reception on Sunday morning. We only needed a token to exit the car park as we had pre-paid but even this seemed to be a problem. I hope that HI will invest in the hotel as it is very popular due to its location and in a University town. I would rather pay an extra £20 a night to have a good quality hotel

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Tfordue1 Excellent value for money
Very large room with 2 double beds, excellent value for money, staff very polite and helpful, very clean, beds comfortable. The only disappointment is that drinks at the bar are far too expensive even for hotel prices and it's a shame as this lets it down.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Stoprejectingmyname Learn How to Cook HI Plymouth
The HI Plymouth is in a great location and the views from the hotel is excellent.
The rooms are tired and could do with a revamp but hey, not every hotel can be revamped every 5 minutes.
I have stayed in the HI Plymouth many times on business and have had plenty of time to consider this hotel, I have been made welcome, the service is good, reception, bar staff, parking, rooms all good BUT....
Consisently the cooking at the hotel has been appauling. Basically it seems the kitchen staff do not seem to know what they are trying to achieve with the food. For example, order a chicken bbq pizza and you will get a pizza so covered in bbq sauce its impossible to eat. Order a leek, pea and butternut squash risotto and it will be covered in lines of balsamic vinegar - another dish runied. And, as someone else has commented rubbery eggs at breakfast.
In all ideal location but dont eat here.
Signed - a world traveller on business who has dined in hundreds of restauraunts worldwide and knows when someone hasnt got a clue. This hotel hasnt on the catering front I'm afraid.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 Great Location
My first stay at the Plymouth property, great location with a lovely view from the restaurant on the high floor. I was staying for just the one night to visit friends locally and had travelled down from Kent.
We were checked in quickly, and I'm not sure if a training or IT issue but I had to 'pull rank' to have my platinum status recognised for internet access. As by the time I realised the need to do this we had already been booked in, I can only assume this to be the reason for lack of upgraded room for elite members, when the IHG site still showed availability. Had I realised this sooner, I would have said something. We were in a rush due to visiting a theatre, and as this was just the 1 night stay, I didn't feel the need or have time to mention this. Parking reasonable at £2.50, although the car park is *very* tight.
Overall a good stay and I would have no hesitation in staying again.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by DavyK13 Lack of information on check in re restaurant
Checking in was quick and easy and I managed to check in about 45 minutes early. Informed that the restaurant and a bar were on the Penthouse and we're open and the ground floor bar opened at 17:30hrs. What I was not informed of was that Saturday night was a Christmas party night and the bar and restaurant were closed, nice quiet meal with my wife with views over Plymouth Hoe Cancelled, if we had known the restaurant was closed for the evening we could have made other arrangements. Also there was no mention when booking that the swimming pool was closed for maintenance. Moving on to Sunday morning and breakfast, it was not made clear when booking that breakfast was not included, I have stayed in Holiday Inn Express hotels numerous times and a buffet breakfast WAS included and the first time I stay in a Holiday Inn I had to pay

Lovely clean room with two double beds and slight view of the Hoe. Very comfortable bed, slept very well. We had breakfast which was excellent, a buffet with lots of choice and we also had dinner which was also excellent with good portions. The staff were very friendly and helpful, we would go again. We didn't have time to visit the roof top bar which looked very nice as we were late back from the Theatre so went into the Sports Bar, drinks were expensive and felt it rough.

Did not like room it was rather tired looking, curtains ripped badly, furniture with cup marks all over it size of room good but not what I would class executive. I had rung twice to check we had sea view which we had looking through large machinery being dismantled the whole weekend. The breakfast was not brilliant eggs like rubber but the worst was when the people that Sat next to us were in pyjamas and fluffy slippers and had just got out of bed they were not kids but in their twenties where was a manager with a dress code
Dreadful then on checkout charging for things I had not had it happens all the time I was told

We have stayed here on a number of occasions - friendly staff, clean rooms, food is okay No problems.
Its a nice hotel - Externally a bit dated but the inside is refurbished and clean and noise level is a minimum - have tried other hotels in the area but always go back here. Will be back again in the New Year.....
What is good is that we have visited this hotel over a number of years and with regards to staff there are a few familiar faces which is lovely to see (Main reception and the restaurant), they are always friendly and professional. thank You

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by A30JET Comfortable and Convenient
Just a short walk to the city centre and superb views over The Hoe and Drake's Island, this hotel is ideally situated with convenient (but tricky to negotiate) parking in the basement.
The room was well laid out and the bed comfortable and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is quite old and as we were on the tenth floor facing south we noticed we did experience a draught around the windows in the strong winds.
Generally a very pleasant hotel with friendly staff.

The food is great and the views from the restaurant overlooking the sea and the town breaktaking . The staff at the restaurant is quite nice and helpful . However the receptionists should give the clients more information about the hotel and its amenities.
Once upgraded , the superior room was quite comfortable .
A place I would definitely recommend even if using the hotel car park can be quite a challenging experience with a big car

Always use the Holiday Inn for my work visits to Plymouth. The staff are really friendly and always try to help. The location is excellent, and the rooms always clean and tidy. The room service food is some of the best you will find and very quick. The hotel is slightly older than some in Plymouth, but at least you get an indoor pool and sauna for those winter evenings.

“As we’re currently seeing in Japan, one of the major health risks posed by nuclear accidents is radioactive iodide that dissolves into drinking water. Because it is chemically identical to non-radioactive iodide, the human body cannot distinguish it – which is what allows it to accumulate in the thyroid and eventually lead to cancer,” says Dr. Joel Pawlak, associate professor of forest biomaterials. “The material that we’ve developed binds iodide in water and traps it, which can then be properly disposed of without risk to humans or the environment.”
The new material – a combination of hemicellulose, a byproduct of forest materials, and chitosan, crustacean shells that have been crushed into a powder – not only absorbs water, but can actually extract contaminates, such as radioactive iodide, from the water itself. This material, which forms a solid foam, has applications beyond radioactive materials. Pawlak and fellow researchers found that it has the ability to remove heavy metals – such as arsenic – from water or salt from sea water to make clean drinking water.
“In disaster situations with limited-to-no power source, desalinating drinking water is difficult, if not impossible. This foam could be brought along in such situations to clean the water without the need for electricity,” Pawlak says. “This material could completely change the way we safeguard the world’s drinking water supply.”
The foam, which is coated on wood fibers, is used like a sponge that is immersed in water. For smaller-scale applications, the foam could be used in something like a tea bag. Or on a larger scale, water could be poured through it like a filter.
Pawlak worked with NC State professor Dr. Richard Venditti on the research, which was funded by the Consortium for Plant Biotechnology Research, the N.C. Forestry Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy. Additional research into how the material can be used on a larger scale is currently being conducted.
NC State’s Department of Forest Biomaterials is part of NC State’s College of Natural Resources.

The miniaturization of the current technology of storage media is hindered by fundamental limits of quantum mechanics. A new approach consists in using so-called spin-crossover molecules as the smallest possible storage unit. Similar to normal hard drives, these special molecules can save information via their magnetic state. A research team from Kiel University has now managed to successfully place a new class of spin-crossover molecules onto a surface and to improve the molecule’s storage capacity. The storage density of conventional hard drives could therefore theoretically be increased by more than one hundred fold. The study has been published in the scientific journal Nano Letters.
Over the past few years, the building blocks of storage media have gotten ever smaller. But further miniaturization of the current technology is hindered by...

Destructive competition philosophy
A world of hate driven by Satan
Years of velocity
The laws of God straighten
A long deception with farces played

When will I be borne to the upper world?
And escape from this womb of filth?

When a parent decides to place their baby up for adoption, it's something that they give a lot of thought to. It's tough to give up your baby, but knowing that you're giving them a chance for a better life can be comforting. You could even argue that attempting to raise your baby despite their certain hardships is selfish.
Here are a few reasons you might choose to give your baby up for adoption:
A Single Parent
If you're a single parent, it can be a daunting thought to think about how you will raise your baby. It's hard for two parents to raise a child to be safe and happy, so how will you do it yourself? Of course, some single parents can raise a child successfully, but you might not be capable depending on your circumstances.
You Have Health Issues
If you have serious health issues, you might not be able to raise your baby and may have no option other than adoption. You need to be healthy to raise a child, and you wouldn't want your health issues to get in the way of your parenting. If you want your child to grow up in a home with healthy parents who can focus more on their well-being, you might decide adoption is your best option.
You Lack Financial Stability
It costs money to raise a child, and if you don't have financial stability, it can mean your child has to suffer needlessly. What will you do if you suddenly lose your job and can't afford to provide your child with basic necessities? If you can't depend on your income to continue throughout your child's life, you may consider giving them up for adoption so someone with more financial stability can raise them.
You Have Problems With Drugs
It's an unfortunate reality that many people struggle with drug addiction. If you're an addict and suddenly have a baby, you might decide you don't think you should raise them. You might put them up for adoption so they can escape the pains and struggles of living in a household with drugs and addiction.
You Live in a Dangerous Place
Children have a slim chance of growing up in some environments without facing violence, drug exposure, and other threats. Some people decide that their babies will be happier and safer if they put them up for adoption. At least they will be in an environment where they have a fighting chance to succeed.
To learn more, talk to an adoption agency in your area today.

Update: Details On Sonora High’s New Superintendent’s Contract
Sonora, CA — The Sonora Union High School District governing board has finalized its contract with newly selected Superintendent Patrick Chabot.
Chabot, who currently serves as Principal was previously a math teacher and assistant Principal. Under the agreement, according to board president Robert Lyons, Chabot will receive a two-year contract with a $145,000 annual salary and $8,000 in benefits. His predecessor, Dr. Mike McCoy, who accepted a position as Superintendent of Muroc Unified School District in Kern County, made $ 154,273 in total compensation and benefits.
On Tuesday, an eight-member community panel selected Chabot and two other candidates for the board to interview on Wednesday. As reported then, each candidate was given an hour to address the board and then field questions. Lyons says the board unanimously decided on Chabot, based on his qualifications and commitment to the school district.
When asked why not choose someone outside the area or with experience from a larger school district who might bring new ideas, Lyons replied, “Well, you have to trade the experience that they might have in administrative skills, and compare that to the knowledge of the community and the commitment to live in the community — and want this community to improve.” Continuing, he surmised, “I think some people potentially might use this as a stepping stone to an even bigger and better job. Our reading of Mr. Chabot is one of total commitment to our community.” Another benefit, Lyons points out, is that Chabot will be able to start working, effectively from the first day.
Chabot’s contract, which begins July 1, 2015, runs through 2017. For an earlier story on Chabot’s reaction to his new post, click here.

Justin Nozuka surprises with ‘Holly’
I don’t often stumble across musicians out of the blue. In fact, I usually am led easily by the likes of friends, Stereogum or Pitchfork. In the case of Justin Nozuka, a random Google search led me to him and a surprisingly good album, titled “Holly.”
Justin Nozuka is originally from Queens in New York City. This 20 year-old singer and songwriter has been writing his own songs since he was 12. In fact, two of the songs on “Holly” were written when he was 15.
The album, which was released in 2007, has a mainly pop feel to it. Watch out for similarities to Jason Mraz and Ray LaMontagne. The LaMontagne likeness is especially noticeable in the song “After Tonight.” It’s a powerful love song that displays Nozuka’s ability to sound good while singing about something meaningful. In terms of lyrics, this is definitely my favorite song on the album.
If you don’t believe me, here’s the video for the song:
Another song that stuck out to me was “Golden Train.” In fact, I haven’t been able to stop listening to this song throughout the day. It’s just one of those songs that captivates with its refreshing sound and intriguing lyrics.
Here’s the video for “Golden Train”:

HEAL Town SPotlight: Glade Spring, VA
Updated August 2018
Featured above: The picturesque Salt Trail that runs between The Town of Glade Spring and The Town of Saltville.
Glade Spring is small town of just under 1,500 residents located in Washington County in Southwest Virginia. Concerned over the high rates of obesity and diet related disease throughout the region, Nancy Williams, Vice Mayor at the time and now Secretary/Treasurer of the Planning Commission, encouraged the Town Council to join the HEAL Campaign. “I wanted to let people know it’s not expensive to be healthy, and it doesn’t require extra time or effort to recognize healthy eating and active living,” said Ms. Williams. “We’ve really tried to promote those things in our small Town.”
Since joining the HEAL Campaign in 2015, the Town has worked towards achieving goals outlined in the HEAL resolution. The Town has built their Campaign with the community in mind – choosing to engage residents who are eager to provide feedback and assistance to establish a culture of health and wellness in the community. “We’ve made a considerable amount of progress,” said Ms. Williams. “We recently did a needs assessment, pretty much based on what our citizens of Glade Spring want and our next steps.” This assessment helped recognize areas of need – most notably a desire to improve walkability and healthy food opportunities for the community.
This spring, the town completed a 1.5-mile trail connecting downtown Glade Spring to the nearby Salt Trail, an 8 mile-mile trail that extends to the Town of Saltville. Seeing an opportunity to improve access to the trail, students from a local college helped clear a right of way along the road leading to the trail. “We used to be a really nice walking Town. But we’ve let the sidewalks go…," said Ms. Williams. “We were able to uncover the sidewalk that runs along the highway to the Town Square. We’re real proud of having this safe place to walk to the Trail.” The Trail has been a significant success leading to further opportunities for residents and community members to use the trail for recreational activities and school programing, including a partnership with a local middle school that uses the trail as an outdoor classroom.
Recently, the Town completed the construction of an indoor famers market that was made possible through a combination of a few small grants, community fundraisers, and donations. “The community really does donate a lot of time, energy, and effort to making this work,” said Ms. Williams. The weekly market hosts about 20 vendors that, in addition to selling local food and produce, also provide food preservation workshops, meat safety classes, and cooking demonstrations on stoves provided by visiting food trucks. These events are an example of the resourcefulness of the community, as vendors have the opportunity to showcase their products while also providing valuable community activities. The market also runs a food donation program for the local senior center and accepts SNAP (formerly known as / food stamp) benefits for low-income shoppers.
The small Town has made significant efforts to promote health and wellness within the community. Tapping into the resources available has been a fundamental component to this Town’s success. Illustrative of this resourcefulness is the Town’s community service database. At every town meeting, participants complete a questionnaire to assess community member’s interest in working on Town projects, initiatives, and volunteering opportunities. “It’s a local database of what people are willing to do. It’s been very helpful in gaining community support” commented Ms. Williams, who initiated the database. Community involvement continues to shape the Town’s progress including new initiatives and activities that are a collaborative effort on behalf of Town staff, elected officials, and community members happy to chip in, however they can.

Aska is the (slowly) growing collection of photographs from abandoned, quaint or interesting locations by me, Björn Sahlberg. The homebase is in Stockholm, Sweden.
So, why seek these places and spend days photographing them? A very early inspiration was the book Journal of a Ghost Hunter by Simon Marsden that I received for Christmas in 1994. Up until then my view on photography in general was something of a substitute for “real” art like painting or drawing (can you imagine!) but that book had me thinking differently. Then there was also the environments of fantasy literature, comic books, Warhammer games and movies like Bladerunner which all had a strong appeal to me. Still it took a few years before I picked up my dad's old Minolta to use it on my very first explore on, The Mighty Abandoned Cottage of Stäksön in Kallhäll outside of Stockholm. The rest is history.

During the Civil War, Confederate Col. J.E.B. Stuart used Mason's Hill and nearby Munson's Hill as outposts for the First Virginia Cavalry from late July to the end of Sept. 1861. Capt. Edward Porter Alexander of the Signal Corps established a signal station on Mason's Hill. On the Mason residence's observation tower, he installed a six-foot "astronomical glass" to observe Washington, D.C. The telescope could "count the panes of glass in the windows in Washington." Confederate spy E. Pliny Bryan, of Maryland, was to signal messages from his District rooming-house window to the station. Before this scheme could be implemented, however, the Confederates abandoned Mason's Hill.

Field hockey travels to Columbus in search of first win
Ball State Field Hockey (0-4, 0-0 MAC) will match up with the Ohio State Buckeyes (2-2, 0-0 Big Ten) Friday and the Lehigh Mountain Hawks (0-3, 0-0 Patriot League) Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.
The Cardinals are back on the road after two consecutive losses last weekend to Dartmouth, 5-1 and Iowa, 7-1. While neither game was close, there are still plenty of positives to take from the two games.
Sophomore forward Abby Ferenczy scored the first goal of the season for the Cardinals in the game against Dartmouth. Redshirt sophomore forward Sierra Jefferson scored for the Cardinals in the game against Iowa the next day. Sophomore goalkeeper Grace Chavez recorded a season-high 13 saves against Iowa.
Two goals in two games is a major step for a team that went scoreless in its first week of the new season. In four games, the Cardinals have attempted a combined 22 shots while opposing teams have attempted 80.
The team’s inconsistencies have been a common theme. Throughout the season, the Cardinals have had rough starts but finish strong. In the game against Iowa, the Cardinals allowed six goals in the first half. The Cardinals only allowed one goal in the second half.
Ohio State returns home after defeating Boston University 4-2. Ball State last faced the Buckeyes in 2016, where the Cardinals lost at home 3-0.
Lehigh is coming off a 7-3 road loss to Villanova. Two of its three goals were scored by Leah Mullery. The team had 11 shot attempts. The Mountain Hawks last faced Ball State in 2017, a matchup that earned the Cardinals 1 of their 5 wins of the season. Neither team has a win in 2018, so a heated matchup should be expected.
Sophomore midfielder Allison Parker is still maintaining a positive attitude despite the rough start.
“I’m excited and can’t wait to see what we can do,” Parker said.
Ball State’s quest for its first victory of 2018 continues Friday, Sept. 7, against Ohio State at 4 p.m. The Cardinals will play Lehigh Saturday, Sept. 8, at 12 p.m.

Once you’ve found your spot, it’s time to start enjoying the sun and surf. Make sure to take frequent breaks in the shade, and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. And don’t forget to have some fun. Go for a swim, build a sand castle, or just relax and enjoy the view.
Take a Road Trip To Explore New Scenery
If you live for the weekend, there are few things better than packing up the car and hitting the open road. A road trip is a perfect way to explore new scenery and see all that your state or country has to offer. Whether you’re heading to the mountains, the beach, or somewhere in between, there’s no shortage of amazing sights to see.
To make the most of your road trip, be sure to plan ahead. Figure out what attractions you want to visit and map out the best route. You’ll also want to make sure you have everything you need, from snacks and drinks to a first-aid kit and a map.
No matter where you go, a road trip is a great way to see the world and have some fun with your friends or family. So pack your bags and hit the open road!
Check Out a Music Festival
There are great music festivals around the world that attract people from all over the globe. Some of these music festivals are known for their eclectic mix of music genres, while others are known for their unique location or setting. Regardless of what draws you to a music festival, there is most likely one out there that will interest you.
One of the most well-known and renowned music festivals in the world is Glastonbury Festival in England. This festival has been around for more than four decades and features an eclectic mix of musical acts. From rock to pop to indie to electronic, this festival has something for everyone.
Another popular destination for music lovers is Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California. This event takes place over two weekends each year and features major headliners as well as up-and-coming artists.

No matter which music festival you choose, it can be an excellent way to kick back, enjoy the weekend, and have fun.
Living for the Weekend
