In the wake of sexual-harassment allegations against a number of powerful men, a former reporter of the Anniston Star newspaper in Alabama is now accusing media magnate and former publisher H. Brandt Ayers of spanking female staffers.
Former Star reporter Veronica Pike Kennedy says that, back in the 1970s when she was only 22, Ayers — who was 40 at the time — spanked her against her will in the newsroom on a Saturday, when only a few other employees were present. Two other women, who declined to share their names on the record, also told the Star of similar spankings they allegedly endured from Ayers. Per the Star:
They say a pattern of forced spankings by the publisher, with sexual overtones, led women in the newsroom at the time to seek help from the newspaper's editors — who appointed a woman on staff to warn newly-hired women to watch out for Ayers.
Kennedy told the website Alabama Political Reporter that her spanking occurred after Ayers asked her to read an editorial he had written. "He said 'Oh, you're being a bad girl. I'm going to have to spank you,'" Kennedy said. Ayers then allegedly wrestled her out of her chair and spanked her hard with a metal pole 18 times.
Mike Stamler, another former Star reporter, was in the room at the time of the incident and confirmed Kennedy's account. Kennedy said she didn't come forward with her allegations until now because she didn't want it to negatively affect her career as a reporter — and feared her father would kill Ayers for the assault.
Ayers, who now serves as the chairman of the company that publishes the newspaper, told the Star in a statement: "As a very young man with more authority than judgment, I did some things I regret. At my advanced age I wish I could relive those days again, knowing the seriousness of my position and with the accumulated judgment that goes with age."

To the editor:
Now that our recent referendum vote has reached an overwhelming "no," is it time to think about a pool?
Not an Olympic size pool with a gym, weight room etc., but a pool for all ages, with wheelchair accessibility, available for children's swim classes, adult aquasize programs, lap lengths and men's and women's change rooms, with secure lockers, drop in fees, monthly fees, even yearly memberships.
How many more professionals with families, i.e. doctors dentists etc., could we attract if there facility were available in 100 Mile House?
As there are so many wonderful lakes in the Cariboo, I feel it would be imperative for our children to be taught to swim in a safe environment, but to travel to Williams Lake or Kamloops is too far and too costly.
Many of our local physicians say how beneficial a pool would be for people needing rehab or with mobility issues.
I have recently written a letter of support for the South Cariboo Aquaplex Initiative and emailed it to firstname.lastname@example.com and recommend others do the same.

At one time in the not-too-distant past, a service call or truck provided the only workable solution for dealing with unresponsive routers or switches that had crashed and disrupted network communication. Although this approach (eventually) took care of the problem, it also resulted in excessive expenses, hassles and network downtime while you waited for your service team to arrive on-site. Fortunately, thanks to devices such as GigE Serial Console Servers, there are now other, more effective ways to deal with network outages.
When serial console servers are deployed at remote network equipment sites, technicians at your NOC can establish a secure connection to the serial console server and then access console ports on other switches, routers, firewalls and other devices at the remote site. This provides immediate access to console port command functions on unresponsive devices and allows support personnel to easily reload routing tables, change configuration parameters or run diagnostic routines.
In order to provide a truly effective tool for remote management of critical network elements, a serial console server must incorporate an out-of-band communication strategy that allows communication with remote network elements even when the primary network is down. Typically, an out-of-band management solution will allow communication via both a primary network and a secondary network. In order to provide an additional layer of communication redundancy, it's also desirable for the GigE serial console server to support dial-up communication. When a serial console server includes both dual GigE network ports and an internal modem, this provides three possible avenues for communication with remote devices in the event of network outages.
Given the fact that a serial console server provides remote access to console ports on critical network elements, a serial console server must also include adequate security and authentication features that will prevent unauthorized access to console port command functions. Network access should be protected by standard security measures such as user accounts with individual passwords, support for popular authentication protocols and an encryption solution to protect information being sent to and from the console server. Dial-up communication with the console server should also include measures to verify the identity of each potential user, such as standard password protection and a dialback feature.
In a world where network communication speeds are constantly on the rise, a serial console server must also be able to function on a GigE (or Gigabit Ethernet,) network. This means that rather than relying on standard 10/100 BaseT Ethernet, the console server should include 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports.
An effective out-of-band management solution provides tech support personnel with a secure, reliable means to deal with problems at remote sites, without having to wait for help to arrive at the remote site. Rather than keeping users hanging during network outages, while a service truck slowly makes its way up a mountain road to a remote equipment site, a console server provides immediate access to vital console port command functions, without the delays, hassles and expense of an old fashioned truck roll.

The Dow Jones has plunged more than 400 points since Monday's (Jan. 29) open, and the sudden downturn has investors wondering, "Will the stock market crash this week?"
That's not an unreasonable question to ask…
The Dow has surged 269% since March 2009, and it's rocketed 31% higher over just the last year.
The nearly decade-long bull market – the second longest in history – has pushed valuations to extraordinarily high levels. The cyclically adjusted price-earnings (CAPE) ratio has risen to 34.18, more than double its historical average. That's even higher than its peak, before the 1929 stock market crash.
With stocks soaring to such high levels, and with nearly 10 years since the last crash, it's no wonder investors see a sudden market drop as a sign that a stock market crash is coming.
But we aren't worried about a stock market crash this week.

This laptop has an BIOS option "Switchable Graphics". When the options is selected, it behaves like a normal Optimus laptop. In this case, brightness sysfs works since it's driven by Intel graphics.
When the options is deselected, the Intel graphics device disappears, Nvidia is the only graphics device. The issue happens in this case.
Changing /sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/brightness, the brightness level remains the same - almost no backlight.
Using proprietary driver, brightness gets changed correctly by /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_0/brightness.
No trace while using MMIOTRACE, under proprietary driver.
When in non-switchable mode, are there other things in /sys/class/backlight? e.g. acpi_video0?
Also, presumably this is on v5.0 or later? Prior to that, there was no backlight support for Pascal.
(In reply to Ilia Mirkin from comment #1)
> When in non-switchable mode, are there other things in /sys/class/backlight?
> e.g. acpi_video0?
No, nv_backlight (or nvidia_0) is the only interface.
I also tried to call _BCM directly via acpidbg, but both Intel's and Nvidia's _BCM method changes nothing.
Please refer to the original bug report [1].
> Also, presumably this is on v5.0 or later? Prior to that, there was no
> backlight support for Pascal.
Yes, on both v5.0 and linux-next.

British philosopher Jeremy Bentham knows how some people acknowledge immortality. During his life, Bentham was a renowned philosopher, jurist, and social reformer.
Bentham was ahead of his time in his advocacy of economic freedom, women's rights, the separation of church and state, and the decriminalization of homosexuality. He fell ill and died in 1832. During the tragedy surrounding his death, it was discovered that he left some surprising instructions for his body.
The first instruction was for his body to be donated to science and publicly dissected. Three days after his death, his body was dissected for the students at University College London. After the display, Bentham left instructions for his head and skeleton to be preserved and displayed at the university in a wooden cabinet, later dubbed the "Auto-Icon."
Originally, Bentham wanted the Auto-Icon to feature his actual preserved head, like that image below.
Bentham left the job of preservation to his follower Thomas Southwood Smith. Smith used an experimental Maori technique to mummify the head. However, the result was deemed too morbid for the Auto-Icon, and a wax head was made instead.
And today, Bentham's Auto-Icon still stands in the halls of the University College London, and it's as spooky as ever.
As an after thought, I reckon Bentham had a very good idea about what he would be remembered for when he died. That being said, he probably thought more people would remember him for his philosophies instead of his preserved head.

Previous studies from Professor Park's group have used optical diffusors for the same purpose, but the size of the device was bulky and difficult to be operated, and it took a long period of time to calibrate. In the present work, on the other hand, the group tailored their photon sieve to demonstrate a simple, compact and scalable method for 3D holographic display. This technique can be readily applied to existing LCD displays, the authors argue.

Lancashire 142 for 5 (Croft 70*) beat Leicestershire 131 for 7 (O'Brien 47, Edwards 4-20)
Steven Croft helped Lancashire get their NatWest T20 Blast campaign off to a successful start with an unbeaten 70 as they claimed a last-ball five-wicket Duckworth-Lewis win over Leicestershire.
Heavy rain interrupted the Foxes' innings for 80 minutes but the visitors still managed to make 131 for 7 from their 15 overs with Kevin O'Brien making 47 on his Leicestershire debut.
Lancashire fast bowler George Edwards responded by taking 4 for 20 on his first appearance for the club, all of his wickets being taken in the former Surrey man's last 12 balls at a cost of seven runs.
The Duckworth-Lewis calculation left Lancashire needing 140 to win and the home managed this off the sixth ball of the 15th over when Croft cut Ben Raine to the backward point boundary
In the 41 minutes of play that was possible before rain forced the players from the field, Leicestershire progressed to 105 for 2 off 11.2 overs with Kevin O'Brien making 43 not out off 23 balls and Grant Elliott contributing an unbeaten 17 off 20.
The innings had been opened in enterprising fashion by Ned Eckersley and Mark Cosgrove, who scored 21 off the first two overs before Cosgrove was dismissed for 12 when his attempt to work Tom Bailey through third man only gave an edge to wicketkeeper Alex Davies.
Eckersley and Kevin O'Brien continued to profit from any wayward bowling, pulling sixes off consecutive overs from Jordan Clark and Bailey as the second-wicket pair added 42 in four overs.
Lancashire skipper Croft then claimed the vital wicket of Eckersley for a 14-ball 29 when the Foxes opener pulled him straight to Karl Brown at midwicket.
However, New Zealand's World Cup batsman Grant Eliott helped O'Brien maintain the momentum of the innings against a Lancashire attack dominated by the spin of Croft, Arron Lilley and Stephen Parry.
When the players returned, Leicestershire lost three wickets for four runs in seven balls with Parry having Elliott caught by Ashwell Prince without addition before Edwards removed both O'Brien and Rob Taylor in the space of three balls.
Clint McKay and Vince Wells then took 14 runs off Bailey's final over before Edwards dismissed both for 10 apiece, McKay being caught at long-off by Alviro Petersen and Wells being taken by Prince at long-on.
In Lancashire's innings all the batsmen made starts but none could go on to and play the major innings their team required until Croft and Davies came together
Prince top-edged a catch to wicketkeeper Niall O'Brien when cramped for room by Raine on 8 and Karl Brown had added only 10 when he skied McKay to Cosgrove running in from cover.
Debutant Liam Livingstone departed for 15 off 12 balls when he skied Wells to Taylor at long-on and Petersen was comfortably caught by Taylor off Jigar Naik for 10.
That left Lancashire on 57 for four off 7.1 overs and Lancashire needed from 79 off the final seven overs. Croft hit the first six of the innings off Naik in the 10th over as he and Davies played some authentic attacking cricket shots which put their side's pursuit back on track.
The pair's 50 partnership was reached off 30 balls and Croft got to his own half-century off exactly the same number, with four fours and a six.
Some desperate hitting and inventive strokeplay left Lancashire needing 10 to win off the final over and they reached their target despite Davies being run out for 24 to end his vital 73-run fifth-wicket stand with Croft.

Casein helps spare muscle from breaking down in the course of sleep
Whey and casein are the two foremost proteins located in milk. When fed on one after the other, whey digests quick, and it rapidly will increase muscle protein synthesis. Casein, then again, is digested at a much slower charge, delivering a steady movement of amino acids to the body. According to latest studies, there are advantages to each whey and casein proteins.
Studies suggest that, in comparison to casein, whey reasons a more increase in muscle protein synthesis while measured over a few hours. However, while measured over longer intervals, the effect isn't always so clear cut.
For instance, in one of the first comparative studies, protein balance over a period of seven hours was considerably higher with casein in comparison to whey. One then may think that casein might provide a greater anabolic (muscle-sparing) effect at night time.
Researchers from the Netherlands had recreationally-active ladies and men carry out a multi-set bout of resistance workout at 8 pm. After workout, they consumed 20 grams of whey with 60 grams of carbs. At 11:30 pm, they took every other complement containing both forty grams of casein or a placebo. Blood measures were made while they have been asleep, and measures of muscle protein synthesis have been made the next morning. Plasma tiers of essential amino acids were multiplied during the night after casein ingestion however not placebo. Whole frame protein synthesis over the night became fantastic after casein ingestion and bad after placebo. Compared to placebo, muscle protein synthesis in the course of the night became 22% better when casein changed into ate up earlier than going to bed.
These outcomes show that ingesting casein before mattress effects in speedy and sustained elevations in blood ranges of amino acids, and more entire frame protein balance and muscle protein synthesis.

$80 million buys a smarter freeway for East Bay drivers
Those 133 new, high-tech electronic signs that have been staring blankly at motorists for months along Interstate 80 in the East Bay are about to be activated — but the $80 million price tag has some wondering if it's a traffic fix or a boondoggle.
The "phased rollout" of the I-80 Smart Corridor project — with overhanging banks of lit green arrows and red X's that look as if they've been lifted from a game show — is scheduled for this month. It's the first step in creating a network of information-gathering sensors and cameras along the freeway, all aimed at alerting drivers to traffic snarls and easing congestion between the MacArthur Maze and Carquinez Bridge.
"It's ranked No. 1 as the worst-congested corridor year after year and is carrying about 270,000 people a day," said Tess Lengyel, planning and policy deputy director of the Alameda County Transportation Commission.
The idea behind the project, which was largely funded by state transportation bonds and Alameda County taxpayers, is both to inform drivers of trouble ahead and let them know of alternative routes.
"We can't expand any more, so we need to improve what the freeways can do," Lengyel said.
Not everyone, however, is cheering the idea. One transportation official, noting ubiquitous radio reports, websites and even apps that track traffic, called it "$80 million to tell you what you already know."
Lengyel counters that the electronic sign network will offer more than "passive" media. For example, the system can alter speeds on 44 metered freeway on-ramps, much as metering lights control the flow onto the Bay Bridge.
The system will also be linked to traffic lights and electronic signs on nearby San Pablo Avenue to help direct overflow when there is an accident, construction or other bottleneck on I-80.
The goal is to have the whole package up and running by late July. The phased rollout is intended to keep a sudden deluge of flashing electronic information from confusing motorists and creating its own havoc.
As for why the signs have been sitting blank for the past 18 months?
"It was a question of testing and fine-tuning the software," said Caltrans spokeswoman Ivy Morrison.
When the switch is finally flipped in a couple of weeks, all motorists will see at first is a message directing them to 80SmartCorridor.org to learn how the system works.
Let's hope they don't do it while driving.
Funny money: The bell has rung on the fight over control of the Democratic County Central Committee in San Francisco, with Chairwoman (and Mayor Ed Lee ally) Mary Jung raising questions about "apparent mismanagement of funds" by former chairman and current Supervisor Aaron Peskin.
In a letter last week, Jung called on Peskin to release information about a Democratic committee fundraising drive that was headed by his friend Michael Bornstein to fight Proposition 8, the initiative to outlaw same-sex marriage that state voters approved in 2008 and was subsequently tossed out by the courts.
The drive raised $300,000, but according to Jung, "We can find no evidence or report that the money was actually used to overturn Prop. 8."
Instead, Jung said, "The money simply enriched your ally's for-profit company."
Peskin, who is among a slate of candidates seeking to depose Jung, called the charges a "smear and just what you would expect from a real estate lobbyist."
But Jung, who handles government relations for the San Francisco Association of Realtors, is sticking by her guns. She says she wants the Democratic committee's bank records made public.
For his part, Bornstein, who ran a political canvassing business, said, "At no time did I personally financially profit from any of this work. In fact, I volunteered over 1,500 hours of uncompensated work time to support this effort and the work of our local party."
What's really going on here?
The DCCC election has turned into a fight between moderates and progressives for control of the local Democratic apparatus, including its war chest — and the moderates want to raise questions about how Peskin and his allies will spend the money.
Last puff: As political plays go, the timing of Gov. Jerry Brown's signing of the latest round of antismoking bills was a master stroke.
The bills — including measures raising the legal age for buying tobacco products to 21 and adding e-smokes to the tobacco hit list — sat on various statehouse desks for weeks without any action.
The concern was that if the bills were signed too soon, Big Tobacco would have time to gather signatures to land a referendum on the November ballot to repeal them all.
On the other hand, if the governor waited too long, the initiative clock would be reset — and Big Tobacco could move to put a referendum on the 2018 ballot, effectively keeping the new laws from going into effect for two years.
"We hit it just at the right spot," said state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco.
The governor, however, did reject a bill allowing local taxation of tobacco products — which was the piece that would have really upset Big Tobacco.

Posts for: February, 2015
A recent episode of "America's Got Talent" featured an engaging 93-year-old strongman called The Mighty Atom Jr. The mature muscleman's stunt: moving a full-sized car (laden with his octogenarian "kid brother," his brother's wife, plus Atom's "lady friend") using just his teeth. Grinning for host Howie Mandel, Atom proudly told the TV audience that his teeth were all his own; then he grasped a leather strap in his mouth, and successfully pulled the car from a standstill.
We're pleased to see that the Atom has kept his natural teeth in good shape: He must have found time for brushing and flossing in between stunts. Needless to say, his "talent" isn't one we'd recommend trying at home. But aside from pulling vehicles, teeth can also be chipped or fractured by more mundane (yet still risky) activities — playing sports, nibbling on pencils, or biting too hard on ice. What can you do if that happens to your teeth?
Fortunately, we have a number of ways to repair cracked or chipped teeth. One of the easiest and fastest is cosmetic bonding with tooth-colored resins. Bonding can be used to fill in small chips, cracks and discolorations in the teeth. The bonding material is a high-tech mixture of plastic and glass components that's extremely lifelike, and can last for several years. Plus, it's a procedure that can be done right in the office, with minimal preparation or discomfort. However, it may not be suitable for larger chips, and it isn't the longest-lasting type of restoration.
When more of the tooth structure is missing, a crown (or cap) might be needed to restore the tooth's appearance and function. This involves creating a replacement for the entire visible part of the tooth in a dental lab — or in some cases, right in the office. It typically involves making a model of the damaged tooth and its neighbors, then fabricating a replica, which will fit perfectly into the bite. Finally, the replacement crown is permanently cemented to the damaged tooth. A crown replacement can last for many years if the tooth's roots are in good shape. But what if the roots have been dislodged?
In some cases it's possible to re-implant a tooth that has been knocked out — especially if it has been carefully preserved, and receives immediate professional attention. But if a tooth can't be saved (due to a deeply fractured root, for example) a dental implant offers today's best option for tooth replacement. This procedure has a success rate of over 95 percent, and gives you a natural looking replacement tooth that can last for the rest of your life.
So what have we learned? If you take care of your teeth, like strongman Atom, they can last a long time — but if you need to move your car, go get the keys.
If you would like more information about tooth restoration, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Crowns & Bridgework."
Find out about the different dental implant restoration treatments that are available in Silver Spring.
Are you suffering from one or more missing teeth? Are you embarrassed by your toothless smile? Are eating and speaking now more difficult since you lost your tooth? If you said yes to any of these questions then your next step is to choose a dental treatment that will replace your missing tooth and prevent further complications from arising as a result of tooth loss.
While our Silver Springs dentists may not perform dental implant surgery, we can still sit down with you and create a proper treatment plan to help prepare you for your upcoming procedure and restoration. We can also provide a thorough evaluation to help you decide whether your smile is right for implants. Furthermore, we are always happy to work with you to find the right surgeon for your dental implant needs.
Implant Restoration Options
What makes implants so ideal for many patients is that they are able to support multiple kinds of restorations, from dental bridges and dentures to dental crowns. If you are replacing a single missing tooth, than your dental implant will only require one dental crown, which we will specifically design for you based on impressions made of your smile.
Those patients who are missing several teeth may benefit from implant-supported dental bridges, which permanently hold this oral appliance in place. A dental bridge that is implant-supported will not need to use neighboring natural teeth to hold it in place. The implants will do all the work.
Even those who are suffering from complete tooth loss can opt for implant-supported dentures. Patients who choose this treatment won't have to worry about dentures moving and slipping around in their mouths because the oral prosthetic will be permanently attached to your implants.
Our Dental Restorations
When it comes to the dental restorations themselves our goal is to create an artificial tooth that looks as natural and realistic as possible. By examining and taking impressions of your smile we can determine the precise contouring and shading we would like to use to create a dental crown that will blend in with the rest of your teeth. What you are left with is a complete, healthy and natural-looking smile.
While adjustments may still need to be made to your restoration in order to offer you the best smile possible, our meticulous eye makes sure that adjustments are limited.
If you already have an implant-supported restoration that is damaged, your Silver Spring dentist can easily fabricate a brand new restoration to replace the old one.
To truly find out more about whether dental implant restoration could improve your smile, it's time to schedule a consultation with Silver Spring dentist at Colesville Dentistry. Say goodbye to tooth loss for good.

What happens to a spacecraft once it dies?
When a spacecraft completes its mission or runs out of fuel, it's sent to what NASA calls a Spacecraft Cemetery. Three thousand miles off the Eastern coast of New Zealand and more than 2 miles deep, it's the one place farthest from any land mass on Earth.
The perfect spot to land giant chunks of spacecraft that are travelling more than 180 mph upon impact. NASA predicts the chance of a spacecraft hitting someone out here to be around 1 in 10,000.
Since 1971, over 263 spacecraft from four nations have crashed here. Only the largest spacecraft ever make it here. Smaller satellites burn up completely before reaching the surface.
Next on NASA's list is the International Space Station. It's scheduled for decommission in 12 years to finally take its place among sunken space history.

Today I'd like to talk about some of the basic concepts of your golf swing. One of the biggest things for beginners and their golf swing is understanding the concept of the golf swing; A lot of people have the wrong idea of what they should be doing with their golf swing. So hopefully this article will help people new to the game understand more what they should be doing with their swing but also giving them something practical that they can use in their game.
The first thing we're going to talk about is hip height movements which is probably the most important part of your swing and what we are looking for to get a perfectly straight shot. Making sure your Club is lined up with your target which is the ball is one of the fundamental keys to a great golf swing, but when you start your swing you're going to be working your body which is not a straight line so a lot of beginners like to try to bring their Club straight back and forward to hit the ball which is not the correct method. From the good golf swing we want the golf club to In and around so in from the target line back to the Target line and then in from the target line on the way through the golf club does not travel in a straight line but the ball should.
The club moves in and around from the target line on an arc and the clubface opens and closes. The biggest impact on your game is allowing the club to move in and around your body and everything working in unison to strike the ball. I've table people who been playing the game for 10 years and I asked them what they think they should be doing and they think the club should be going straight back and they've been playing for 10 years. A great way to practice is to do all the movements slowly even if you only hit the ball 20 yards get the fundamentals down and then put the Power behind it to really knock that ball down the course. If you fully understand what the golf club should be doing it's going to have a major impact on your game.
One of the biggest things that has impacted my game personally lately has been hybrid golf clubs I've been playing around with the Cobra Z models here's a full review of them. The next article we're going to be talking about rangefinders for golfing to help you better understand how much of your power you need to use to get the ball to certain distances on the course. I found some helpful reviews for rangefinders at a website I stumbled across.

How to adjust the strength of the paper embossing plate during the hot stamping process
Step 1 Hot stamping, embossing temperature control
Hot stamping and embossing are completed once, so the gilding temperature is higher than the temperature when gilding alone, and the temperature is generally controlled at about 150 °C.
Step 2
Hot stamping, pressure adjustment
When starting the hot stamping and embossing work, it is necessary to re-check the adjustment pressure. The layout requires uniformity from top to bottom and left and right. When viewing, the back side of the embossed paper can be turned on and embossed as long as it has a clear outline. Since the bronzing and pressing embossing plates are secondary corrosion, the concave surface is relatively uneven during the etching. When hot stamping, an elastic pad such as a plastic film may be appropriately placed according to the situation to compensate for the unevenness caused by the concave unevenness. The drawbacks of electrifying aluminum.
Step 3
Before the plate is installed, the surface of the hot plate should be cleaned, and some streaks should be drawn on the back of the bronzing and embossing zinc plate. A piece of cloth slightly coated with the white glue (or cowhide glue) larger than the zinc plate is pressed according to the determined zinc plate. The mounting position and printing method are pasted on the hot plate, and then the zinc plate is pasted on the electric heating plate cloth, and some hard paper is pressed on the bottom plate, and the power is turned on and heated to 80-90 ° C, hot pressing. After about 15 minutes, the zinc plate is firmly attached to the hot plate. After the zinc plate is firmly adhered, a 100 g or more coated paper is pasted on the base plate with a transparent adhesive tape, and the printed paper is pressed with the carbon paper. This is a rule, and the cutting is slightly larger than the printed image. 2-3 pieces of white paper, which are glued and flattened, then pasted to the place where the print is placed, and the printed coated paper is removed. After the 250 g of whiteboard paper is adhered to the base plate, the uppermost whiteboard paper is wetted with a wet towel, and the bottom plate is pressed and pressure-pressed until the surface of the whiteboard paper is printed with a rich and uneven mark. It should be noted that it is necessary to prevent the whiteboard paper from being too high, or to pressurize and increase the pressure, so that the surface that does not need to be bronzing and embossed is higher than the hot stamping and embossing, so that the non-bronzing and embossing portions are not pressed. It is also burned with anodized aluminum, which affects the appearance and quality of the picture.

NEAR CASTAIC (CBSLA) – Six dirt bikers were rescued early Monday morning after getting stranded overnight in the snowy Los Padres National Forest in Ventura County.
The six men got trapped on Snowy Trail near Alamo Mountain Sunday night, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. Alamo Mountain is located about 37 miles northwest of Castaic.
The men were able to call 911, but due to the dangerous weather conditions, a sheriff's helicopter was unable to airlift them out, according to KVTA news radio.
Instead, a chopper dropped supplies that helped the men survive the freezing temperatures overnight, KTVA reports.
Deputies, along with a Fillmore Mountain Search and Rescue Team, reached the men early Monday and brought them out with a Snowcat.
It's unclear how exactly the men got stranded.
Last month, a couple and their two dogs were also rescued from Alamo Mountain after their vehicle got snowed in for a full two weeks. The couple, both in their 30s, and their dogs had run out of food and were melting snow for water.
The couple were finally able to hike out to an area with enough cell phone reception to call 911. They were airlifted to safety by a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department chopper.

Carol Hogel is an American who has been living in Scotland for the past 25 years. She has been a major sponsor of the arts in Scotland and the UK – to the tune of £20 million through the Dunard Fund which she set up.
She has contributed to the RSNO, most UK opera companies, the National Galleries of Scotland, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and lots more. It is a big list, and adds up to a lot of money.
For Scotland, through her generosity, she has allowed us to be genuinely ambitious with artistic projects, like the building of the Playfair project at the National Gallery, like bringing Peter Stein's Parsifal to Edinburgh, and so much more. She helped rescue the Edinburgh International Festival from a financial black hole. In short, she has made a major contribution to the UK arts, particularly in Scotland.
But now, faced with what she sees as a tax for bringing her wealth to the UK – the Brown/Darling non dom tax of £30,000 pa, she has announced that she is moving to California, where philanthropists giving to the arts are appreciated.
Shamingly, it was not the tax itself which tipped the balance, but a chippy article written by Robert McNeil in The Scotsman which concluded by saying "The rich are leaving, and good ruddy riddance to them". Hogel wrote a letter back accusing McNeil of "taking ethnic cleansing to a whole new level" and calling him "destructive, spiteful and philistine".
A civilised country is measured in part by its artistic and cultural status and aspirations. A vibrant arts sector contributes to the high quality of life we enjoy in Scotland. It encourages others to visit, and it provides many jobs.
So, this is to say thank you so much to Carol Hogel for her generous contributions. I am so sad it had to end like this. NcNeil and The Scotsman should be hanging their heads in shame.

Justin Bieber cancels remaining tour dates
Justin Bieber has canceled the remaining 15 shows of his Purpose World Tour due to "unforeseen circumstances," according to a statement from his representative Lauren Morris.
"Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them," the statement reads. "He thanks his fans for the incredible experience of the Purpose World Tour over the last 18 months. He is grateful and honored to have shared that experience with his cast and crew for over 150 successful shows across 6 continents during this run. However, after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase."
Bieber has been on the road in support of his well-received comeback album, Purpose, since March 2016, playing 154 concerts across North American, Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Australia. He was scheduled to start a seven-city stadium leg in North America on Saturday in Arlington, Texas, before a string of dates in Asia in September and October.
The Purpose World Tour netted $93.2 million in the first half of 2017, according to Variety.
The singer, who was recently banned from performing in Beijing due to his "bad behavior," is currently featured on Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's Despacito remix. The Spanish-language smash has been No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 11 weeks and became the most-streamed song ever last week.

Thomaston railroad museum acquires vintage building from Fall River, Mass.
THOMASTON >> The Railroad Museum of New England recently acquired a pre-1900 Pawtucket, Rhode Island yard office building by donation from the Old Colony & Fall River Railroad Museum, of Fall River, MA.
The RMNE is based at the historic Thomaston Train Station, built by the original Naugatuck Railroad in 1881, and the Fall River structure was moved to the Thomaston grounds on a temporary basis in late July.
The Fall River museum announced its closing last year, and was disposing of its collection of railroad rolling stock and structures. According to RMNE member Jon Chase, OC&FRRM president Jay Chatterton contacted RMNE officials about the future of the small (approximately 10'x12") building that was once an office in the Pawtucket, RI freight yard, prior to being moved to the Fall River museum location. The building is thought to date from the 1880s. Its curved "pagoda" roof is characteristic of small railroad buildings once common along the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad in northern Rhode Island.
Chase said that investigation by RMNE board member Bob Eberheim revealed that moving the building to Thomaston was feasible and could be accomplished without a need to dismantle the structure, as first feared. The building is in generally good condition and in the short term will require only minor trim repair and a coat of paint, according to Chase.
"We needed to save the Pawtucket building on what amounted to an emergency basis. Site contractors and state project representatives in Massachusetts were growing frustrated and had begun to broach the subject of its demolition," Chase said.
Eberheim arranged for the building's transportation by truck from Fall River to Thomaston on July 17.
"Opportunities to rescue historic buildings like this are fading away," said RMNE secretary Bill Sample. "So far we have no such historic building on our property beyond our crown jewel, the Thomaston Passenger Station."
During the RMNE's early days, the museum was involved with the rescue of three historic small structures. In each case, the buildings have become useful additions to the properties where they now reside, both aesthetically and functionally, Sample said.
The Railroad Museum of New England (RMNE) is a not-for-profit, all volunteer, educational and historical organization that dates back to January 1968. The mission of the RMNE is to tell the story of the region's rich railroad heritage through its educational exhibits and operation of the Naugatuck Railroad. The museum concept is more than artifacts. It is also a story of the region and the development of society around the railroad.

In the world of dreams
we can pursue our rabbits
for there are no rules
In the world of dreams
we can pursue our rabbits
for there are no rules
The fruits decayed beneath me as I slept
in the sunshine of the yellow day,
whilst the rest of the world danced,
oblivious to the sorrowful dreams
sowing the seeds of chaos in my head.
I fell into the water
and the purple waves
took me to the edge of time.
I nestled there and watched the peacocks
strut amongst the turtles,
and the underwater things writhing in the air,
and there, amongst the rocks and pearls of the sea,
I took my last land lubber breath.

Grassley: Tax Reform a Victory for Iowans of Every Level of Income and Way of Life
Dec 02, 2017
WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, a senior member and former chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, voted for landmark tax reform legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which passed the United States Senate today.
"The passage of this bill is a historic moment for Iowa and the entire country. It's been more than 30 years since Congress passed significant tax reform. The good news is that this legislation will let Iowans keep more of their own hard-earned money, increase average wages and help create new jobs.
"This reform bill enacts across-the-board tax cuts, providing financial relief to middle-class and low-income earners who need it most. As just one example, an average family of four with two children would receive a $2,200 tax cut. Lowering taxes lets people decide how to spend more of their own money instead of Washington politicians. It would help working families struggling to make ends meet, allow farmers and small business owners to further expand and invest, and makes American jobs and workers more competitive globally.
"This bill also gets rid of the unfair and regressive Obamacare individual mandate tax, giving Iowans the freedom to make choices that work best for them instead of being forced by the federal government to purchase an unaffordable product they either don't want or don't need. More than 52,000 Iowans in 2015 were required to pay the individual mandate tax, even though more than 80 percent of those who paid the tax made less than $50,000 a year. That's a tax on working families, and I'm hopeful to see it gone.
"The Senate passage of this legislation is a victory for Iowans of every income level and way of life, but there's more work to be done. It now needs to be reconciled with the House-passed version. This is a once-in-a -generation opportunity to make lasting reforms to our broken and outdated tax code. I look forward to working with my House and Senate colleagues to draft a bicameral bill to be signed into law by the President."
Grassley successfully included several provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including whistleblower protections, taxpayer rights and corporate accountability measures. More information on these provisions is available here. As chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Grassley previously led through Congress $2 trillion in bipartisan tax relief, leaving more money in workers' pockets, reducing tax rates across the board and spurring economic growth and activity. Congress later made permanent the vast majority of the Grassley-led measures with significant bipartisan support.

Nobel Prize–winning author Doris Lessing was born one hundred years ago, on October 22, 1919. [Read more…] about Celebrating 100 years of Doris Lessing
Doris Lessing
Commitment to collecting
Going back to the origins of research libraries, there is a long history of scholars building collections to suit personal interests, constructing around themselves an athenaeum of books that supported their individual research goals.
Coleccionismo comprometido
Cuando se busca en tiempo atrás los orígenes de las bibliotecas de investigación, damos con una larga historia de académicos dedicados a recabar colecciones de acuerdo a su interés personal, construyendo en torno suyo ateneos de libros que documentaran sus muy particulares metas de investigación. Y muchas veces, cuando dicho académico proseguía su carrera –en otro trabajo o en otro contexto intelectual- la colección emprendida se marchitaba, sin la mente directriz inicial que siguiera contando su historia.

Fellows Find: Doris Lessing correspondence deepens insight into The Grass is Singing
"Have you had a look in the Knopf collection?" Rick Watson, the head of reference services at the Ransom Center, sounded casual, and I wasn't sure I had time to take the detour he was suggesting.
I spent a month at the Ransom Center last year, working mainly with the extensive Doris Lessing archive. [Read more…] about Fellows Find: Doris Lessing correspondence deepens insight into The Grass is Singing
Acclaimed writer Ian McEwan's archive acquired
The Harry Ransom Center has acquired the archive of writer Ian McEwan (b. 1948), one of the most distinguished novelists of his generation. The archive documents McEwan's career and includes early material from his childhood and adolescence, as well as his earliest abandoned stories dating from the late-1960s and early 1970s. The archive includes drafts of all of McEwan's later published works including his critically acclaimed novels Amsterdam and Atonement up through On Chesil Beach and Solar.
McEwan composed his novels partly in longhand, typically in uniform green, spiral-bound notebooks, and party on the computer. After an initial draft, he would transfer the entire text to a computer, printing out multiple drafts, which he would revise further by hand. McEwan's Booker Prize-winning novel Amsterdam is represented in the archive in its earliest form as a handwritten notebook, followed by two further revised drafts. McEwan often notes details of composition in these drafts, including their completion or revision dates.
"The writer tends to forget rapidly the routes he or she discarded along the way," McEwan said, commenting on his manuscripts. "Sometimes the path towards a finished novel takes surprising twists. It's rarely an even development. For example, my novel Atonement started out as a science fiction story set two or three centuries into the future."
McEwan's archive will reside at the Ransom Center alongside the archives of many of his peers and contemporaries, including his longtime friend Julian Barnes, as well as J. M. Coetzee, Doris Lessing, Jayne Anne Phillips, and Tom Stoppard. The McEwan materials will be accessible once processed and cataloged.
McEwan will visit Austin and speak at the university on Sept. 10.

Two Ransom Center archives illuminate Doris Lessing's life, work, and relationships
Nobel Laureate Doris Lessing died on Sunday at the age of 94. She was born in what is now Iran, grew up on a farm in Zimbabwe, lived briefly in a boarding house in South Africa, and settled as an adult in London. She was deeply influenced by the racial and social injustices she witnessed, and her books reflect a lifetime of experience observing racism, colonialism, communism, and terrorism. She wrote frankly about relationships between women and men and is heralded as an early feminist writer, though she never embraced that distinction. She was an avid reader and was largely self-educated through books, as her formal education ended when she was just 15 years old. Yet she remained unsentimental about books. In one letter in her archive, which resides at the Ransom Center, Lessing noted, "[I] wish that people would just read books and get all the sustenance from them they can—and then throw them away and go on to the next useful sustaining book."
Early in her career, Lessing applied this same attitude toward her manuscripts. As a young writer in England, she had little space and less money. She moved frequently and saw little value in her cumbersome stacks of manuscripts and papers, so she discarded them. As a result, manuscripts of many of her most notable books, including The Golden Notebook, have been lost.
Fortunately, Lessing later changed her ways. The drafts and working papers of more than 50 of her novels, plays, stories, and other works are available for research at the Ransom Center, where they have resided since 1999. The 45-box collection includes Lessing's Canopus in Argos series, her two autobiographies, and novels such as The Good Terrorist and Mara and Dann. Although few of Lessing's early works appear in the archive, another Ransom Center collection offers a rare glimpse of Doris Lessing from this period.
American author Clancy Sigal lived with Lessing in London in the late 1950s. In many ways, they were kindred spirits. The two writers were passionate about many of the same social concerns. In the photograph above, the two can be seen, according to Sigal, "in a bus, in the mud, on our way to cut through the barbed wire of a nuclear air base." Their relationship may have been intellectually deep, but it was emotionally fraught and stormy. It also provided great fodder for literature. It's no secret that Lessing modeled the infamous Saul Green of The Golden Notebook on Sigal. Once at a party, Lessing even boasted to the guests, "I invented Clancy." Sigal was less than thrilled to appear in Lessing's novel, a book that is widely hailed as a cornerstone of feminist literature. Yet he, too, looked to their relationship for inspiration, even decades after it had ended. Rose O'Malley from Sigal's 1992 novel Secret Defector, is just one of many characters he created who bear a striking resemblance to Lessing.
The journals in Clancy Sigal's archive detail the difficulties of their relationship, and traces of their time together appear throughout his writings. His archive includes letters from Lessing, some dated long after their relationship had ended, showing that they remained friends for decades. In one such letter, written in November 2001, not long after the September 11th attacks, Lessing harkened back to their earlier years of social activism, "Do you think the world is even madder now than [w]hen we knew it was?" she asked. "God, what a world."

Employee internet management (EIM) software provider, Websense, has launched a new assessment tool designed to increase services and consulting revenue for value-added resellers.
The product, Employee Computing Risk Assessment (ECRA), detects and analyses the impact that threats such as spyware, P2P network abuse and malicious code have on an organisation's computer network.
It is intended to complement an organisation's existing security assessment measures by determining how employee behaviour is affecting computing risk levels.
By using ECRA, resellers can conduct a gap analysis of an organisation's perceived protection versus its actual protection against threats in the employee computing environment.
These threats are grouped into four separate categories: security, legal liability, network bandwidth and productivity management.
"Previously our resellers would only be able to advise customers of possible risks," Websense territory manager ANZ, Graham Connolly, said. "But now they can create a report that graphically illustrates the actual risk, the actual bandwith usage, P2P networking and unmanaged personal surfing – it's a much more professional approach."
The purpose of such an analysis is to allow the reseller to offer each individual organisation a specific internet filtering program to suit its needs.
"It's designed to help resellers in the services space," Connolly said.
According to Websense, 90 per cent of businesses have suffered hacker attacks in the last year and one in three corporations has spyware on its network.
They also claim that 70 per cent of all Internet porn traffic occurs during the nine-to-five work day.
"In my experience, most companies have admitted that they have no idea what is going on in their network," Connolly said.
"A company may believe that they are not exposed to spyware or malicious code, when in reality a company's employees may be unwittingly causing significant exposure on an ongoing basis."

A Second Listen to Student Voice
Common Core author David Coleman shocked a crowd of educators in 2011 when he declared, "…as you grow up in this world, you realize people really don't give a sh** about what you feel or what you think." Around the same time, headlines blared, "How Self-Expression Damaged My Students." The actress Hilary Swank became a symbol of education reform run amok by playing a Los Angeles teacher who told her students, "Write down your stories or no one is going to remember you."
Student voice was on its way to becoming a relic, a symbol of liberal excess in the face of the hard world where students needed to learn facts and skills. But what if the educators who complained about the pendulum swinging so far left were just as guilty of a swing too far to the right? What if these ardent reformers missed how student voice, when integrated with an exceptionally strong curriculum, is an anchor to engage reluctant learners and address the needs of students one, two or three years behind grade level?
Enter One World Education, a nonprofit organization started a decade ago by charter school teachers in Washington, D.C., to addresses two primary problems. First, 50 percent of students report that they are bored in school. So, getting students to perk up and pay attention is job #1.
The second problem is that only about a quarter of U.S. students write well enough to be ready for college. In cities like D.C., it's even lower, and in many neighborhoods where One World works, it's closer to 5 percent. The bill for this instructional failure is billions of dollars in remediation and re-training costs annually.
One World leverages student voice by having learners identify social justice topics of importance to them. With their voices (and hearts) anchored in their topics, One World's programs fuse their engagement with the skills needed to secure evidence to support their arguments. Then, a series of process-based writing exercises grow into a final essay.
Makaio is a 10th-grade student in DC Public Schools who participated in the One World Program last school year. Makaio's father described him as having high potential, but disengaged in school and traumatized by his brother's incarceration. While One World's programming helped him express his pain and anger, it also taught him to collect and critically analyze evidence to support his claim about mass incarceration. Makaio's father said that researching the issue and expressing himself with such power transformed Makaio into an avid writer determined to pursue higher education.
Makaio is one of 5,000 students annually served by One World, and 90 percent of schools using the program make statistically significant gains in research and writing skills. For many D.C. students, One World guides them toward writing their first college-level essay. These skills transfer to other assessments.
While curriculum matters, the investment in its development falls short if it cannot engage reluctant learners. The nation has made too little progress over the last decade—especially in low-income neighborhoods—to overlook a simple strategy that empowers an often-ignored population. Student voice can play an important role when connected to a cohesive curriculum and training, and One World's success should direct education reformers to give student voice a second listen.

When it comes to child custody and visitation, a common misconception is that the father always gets the short end of the stick. Actually, this is not the case. Fathers are entitled to the same rights that mothers are, and the Court system has a fairly objective system for determining these rights, which is called the "best interest of the child" standard.
We are the best choice to help you to fight for your child and shift any intrinsic biases and prejudices of the court to your favor and help you secure the rights you deserve.
Fast and Aggressive Tactics
We are serious about helping you win the rights you deserve. An Emergency filing may be the right choice when time is of the essence.
Contempt of Court
If the other parent is ignoring an existing court order, we will help you get them enforced. Parental alienation is a valid concern. This is where one parent uses psychological manipulation; intimidation; and controlling techniques to prevent a child from access to or forming a bond with the other parent.
Custody and Visitation Establishment
If you haven't yet determined a parenting plan, we can help you put together a schedule that works for all parties involved. If a custody trial is required, we will thoroughly prepare for court and present your best case to the Judge.
You have the right to fight for your child, to have solid access to your child, and to be well informed of all decisions affecting your child.
Susan Culpepper is a firm believer in cultivating strong father-child relationships.
Some of the most important factors that a court will consider when deciding joint or sole custody are stability of the school; home and community environment; the emotional bond between parent and child.
What Judges Want
What we have learned over years of practicing family law is that above all judges do not want to disrupt a child's routine if he or she is functioning well in school and in the community. Whether you are going through a divorce or ending a relationship where sole or shared custody is at issue, we always advise that the parent seeking custody relocate in the same school district and general locale of the child so the judge does not have to make such a huge mental leap in modifying or awarding custody to a parent.
It is also important to show the court that you are willing to foster and encourage a positive relationship between the child and the other parent, and that you have the financial means and psychological stability to care for your child.
