Edwin Poots launches car smoking ban consultation
Edwin Poots was speaking on an assembly motion proposing a ban on smoking in cars carrying those under 16.
He said children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of smoking.
Mr Poots said his department will launch a public consultation and he urged everyone with an interest on the issue to respond to the consultation.
He said he was prepared to ban smoking in all private cars although he was aware some people would see this as a "step too far".
The minister said he had asked officials in early September to work on an action plan for implementing legislation.
Mr Poots said: "Smoking is the single greatest cause of preventable illness and premature death in Northern Ireland. Each year approximately 2,300 people die from smoking-related illnesses.
"Passive smoking is a health issue which I take very seriously, particularly when those affected by it are children, who are more vulnerable to second-hand smoke as they breathe more rapidly and inhale more pollutants per pound of body weight than adults."
Mr Poots told MLAs that research had shown that 15% of adults smoke in their cars when children are present.
"It also indicates that smoking in a car exposes children to levels of smoke which compare to levels found in bars before smoke-free legislation was introduced," he said.
Hospital visits
During the debate on the motion – which was put forward by the UUP's John McCallister – Sinn Fein's Michaela Boyle said the Department of Health in Northern Ireland spends over £119m each year treating patients with smoke-related illnesses.
The DUP's Jim Wells also said statistics from the Ulster Cancer Foundation showed 300,000 children throughout the UK are being referred to a GP every year as a result of tobacco smoke inhalation.
He said 9,500 of these cases led to hospital visits.
Mr Wells also added that second-hand smoke in cars can be as high as ten times the concentration considered unhealthy by the American Environmental Protection Agency.
Kieran McCarthy of the Alliance Party said figures from Action Cancer revealed that 13,500 children in Northern Ireland are at risk from passive smoke.
Health committee chairperson Michelle Gildernew said a renewed public campaign on the dangers of passive smoking was needed although she felt there would be a difficulty in policing any legislation on the issue.
Enclosed spaces
Earlier, Gerry McElwee of the Ulster Cancer Foundation called for young people to be protected from second-hand smoke.
"Enclosed spaces within a car mean the smoke is much more concentrated," he said.
"There are 400 chemicals in tobacco smoke, up to 60 are carcinogenic and the measurements you find in a car are up to 10 times the level you would describe as unhealthy."
Dr James Cant, head of the British Lung Foundation, Scotland and Northern Ireland said: "We find this development highly encouraging.
"Stormont would be ahead of the curve on this issue if it were to take action to protect children from passive smoke when they are in the car."
Simon Clark, director of the smokers' lobby group Forest, said: "We don't condone people smoking in cars with children present. It's inconsiderate, certainly, but the evidence doesn't support the argument that smoking in cars is a serious health risk to children.
"Legislation is a gross over-reaction. What next, a ban on smoking in the home?"

New Interface Enables Organizations to Maintain Local Recruiting Preferences While Ensuring Data Visibility and Security
New Interface Enables Organizations to Maintain Local Recruiting Preferences While Ensuring Data Visibility and Security
ATLANTA, GA and MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Jan 30, 2012) - PageUp People™, a Multinational Talent Management solutions provider, today announced details of its newly launched Global Gateway designed for companies operating across multiple countries, and more specifically, in emerging, high growth markets. With the majority (77%) of revenue growth expected to come from emerging, or high growth markets over the next five years, multinational employers are scrambling to bridge the gap between legacy talent management solutions designed for highly developed countries and western cultures and the technology challenges and cultural and language variances in these emerging markets. Specifically designed to meet the unique recruitment needs of emerging, high growth countries, the new Global Gateway is now included in PageUp People's recruitment management solution.
The PageUp People Global Gateway enables employers to balance local and global issues, address technical constraints and different cultural practices, and support high volume hiring. The new interface is ideal for multinational employers headquartered in mature markets such as Australia, the United States or U.K., that need to ensure compliance and adoption of corporate recruitment policies while accommodating emerging market regional HR practices and preferences. Among other regional-specific requirements, the Global Gateway supports all languages, including double byte, such as Chinese, Korean and Thai and Vietnamese. With workflows and functionality optimized for the less frequent user -- in many cases, the HR generalist versus a corporate recruiter -- the Global Gateway makes it possible to have distinct regional processes and talent pooling while maintaining the necessary corporate level oversight.
Karen Cariss, CEO of PageUp People, said, "With a 15 year history of helping employers overcome the challenges of recruiting across multiple countries, PageUp People has developed unique expertise in providing flexibility to fully support regional configuration requirements specific to each market and culture, while maintaining data integrity and talent intelligence visibility across multiple operating units. We are thrilled to now offer the culmination of this experience to all our clients with the Global Gateway as part of our overall recruiting management solution."

Turquoise is a soft, sky-blue stone that has often been connected with heavenly realms and air energy. Often what is sold is turquoise is a "fake," either a dyed piece of howlite or low-grade turquoise which has been ground up and reconstituted, usually with the help of binders and dyes. Here's a video which will provide a good introduction to spotting real vs. fake turquoise: https://youtu.be/ND2nr3OHJmA.
This beautiful stone has been treasured by people all over the world since prehistory. The oldest known pieces of jewelry are the four turquoise bracelets found on the mummy of the Egyptial Queen Zer. A lot of turquoise is found in the southwestern US, where it has traditionally been a valuable trade item. Some tribes such as the Dine consider it an especially holy stone, and it is incorporated into their symbolic and spiritual culture. For example, Turquoise Boy and Turquoise Girl are magical people who reside in the mountain and help the people.
Lore: People have always treasured turquoise for its beauty, as well as for bringing good luck and health. One story from the Egyptian Papyrus of King Snefru (4700 BC) tells of a day when the king was in a bad mood, so he had arranged for beautiful maidens to row him around the palace's lake. The king was just starting to enjoy himself when one of the rowers lost her turquoise hair decoration in the water. The maiden was distraught, and the king wasn't too happy either. But then the court magician, Zazamankh, spoke some magic words that divided the waters and brought the gem back safe up in the boat. While this story sounds a little unlikely, it shows how much turquoise was valued.
A Crystal Message about the Healing Properties of Turquoise: "I embody the ancient spirit of the sky. Feel your mind become clear in my presence and graciously accept the gifts spirit is raining down upon you."
Common Healing Properties of Turquoise:
- Enhances communication with beings from other realms
- Helps you to be mindful of the present moment
- Enhances self expression and communication
- Helps you to live in the moment
- Removes negativity from yourself and your environment
- Enhances self confidence
- Relieves energetic symptoms of acid reflux or heartburn
- Aids in relaxation
- Promotes spiritualascension
- Helps you to remain on the path that is for your highest good
- Boosts the immune system energetically
- Aids in removing negative energy associated with ailments of the eyes
- Reduces energetic causes of acidity in the body and aids in energetic detoxification
- Reduces inflammation

The researchers found striking similarities among the distribution patterns, with temperature strongly linked to biodiversity for all thirteen groups studied. These results imply that future changes in ocean temperature, such as those due to climate change, may greatly affect the distribution of life in the sea.
The scientists also found a high overlap between areas of high human impact and hotspots of marine diversity. Much research has been conducted on diversity patterns on land, but our knowledge of the distribution of marine life has been more limited. This has changed through the decade-long efforts of the Census of Marine Life, upon which the current paper builds. The authors synthesized global diversity patterns for major species groups including corals, fishes, whales, seals, sharks, mangroves, seagrasses, and zooplankton. In the process, the global diversity of all coastal fish species has been mapped for the first time.
The researchers were interested in whether there are consistent "biodiversity hotspots" -- areas of especially high numbers of species for many different types of marine organisms simultaneously. They found that the distribution of marine life showed two fundamental patterns: coastal species such as corals and coastal fishes tended to peak in diversity around Southeast Asia, whereas open-ocean creatures such as tunas and whales showed much broader hotspots across the mid-latitude oceans. The scientists also tested whether these global patterns could be consistently explained by one or more environmental factors. Temperature was the only factor found to be linked with the distribution of all species groups, with the availability of habitat also playing a role.

PCOR Evidence: ABCS of Heart Health
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. To prevent heart attacks, health care professionals can work with their patients to adopt the ABCS of cardiovascular disease prevention:
- Aspirin use by high-risk individuals
- Blood pressure control.
- Cholesterol management.
- Smoking cessation.
New medical evidence continually surfaces about how best to deliver the ABCS. The goal of EvidenceNOW is to ensure that primary care practices have the latest evidence and that they use it to help their patients live healthier and longer lives.
What Research Is EvidenceNOW Using To Improve Heart Health?
EvidenceNOW is helping primary care practices use the latest patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) findings to improve heart health. PCOR is research that compares the effectiveness of two or more preventive, diagnostic, or treatment approaches on health outcomes.
Learn more below about the PCOR evidence used in EvidenceNOW to improve the ABCS of heart health.
Aspirin Use
Strong PCOR evidence shows taking aspirin can help patients lower their risk of heart disease. EvidenceNOW references the scientific evidence and clinical guidelines from the 2011 American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF).
Learn more about the PCOR evidence behind aspirin use for high-risk individuals.
Blood Pressure Control
EvidenceNOW references the 2004 Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC7) clinical guidelines, which are still considered the strongest PCOR evidence. Emerging studies, such as the 2015 SPRINT trial and a new AHA and American College of Cardiology (ACC) effort to update the guidelines, may lead to changes in PCOR-based recommendations.
Learn more about the PCOR evidence behind blood pressure control.
Cholesterol Management
Using statins, a type of medication for lowering cholesterol, can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with heart disease or at increased risk for heart disease. EvidenceNOW references the 2013 cholesterol clinical guideline based on the collaboration of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), ACC, and AHA.
Learn more about the PCOR evidence behind cholesterol management.
Smoking Cessation
PCOR evidence from the 2015 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force offers evidence-based recommendations for behavioral and pharmacological interventions to help people quit smoking.
Learn more about the PCOR evidence behind smoking cessation.

I find a certain amount of joy whenever I stumble upon something Poison Ivy related - especially when it wasn't planned. Such is the case here with Louie Vitiello's lifesize Poison Ivy figure. This is a special find because it's something I've always wanted to do (but have not). My hesitation is mostly due to finances but also because I don't have the room.
From Louie's blog:
I am a NYC based artist. Though I like to work on many things, my favorite subject is superheroes, or more so the supervillains.
The mannequins are my specialty; making life size statues of my favorite characters. They are all hand painted/sprayed. Each one is signed, numbered and dated on the foot. Alas, living in NYC, I don't have the space to store them so I am forced to let them go from time to time.
What an absolutely amazing and fun hobby - and she's a beauty (see below). I love the bright and bold colors. The hair is also a great choice. This look appears to be inspired by various interpretations of Poison Ivy. I see a bit of Uma Thurman's costume mixed with the classic costume (Brian Apthorp style).
Check out Louie Vitiello's tumblr page for more images of this piece and other projects including Catwoman, Emma Frost, Mystique and more.

Source: Reuters
"A campaign group seeking a global ban on nuclear arms won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, given the award by a Nobel Committee that cited the spread of weapons to North Korea and said the risk was growing of nuclear war. The award to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) was unexpected, particularly in a year when the architects of the 2015 nuclear deal between world powers and Iran had been seen as favorites for achieving the sort of diplomatic breakthrough that has won the prize in the past."

2) "Enslaved to US politics": Assange seeks encrypted Twitter alternative
Source: Russia Today [Russian state media]
"Julian Assange hit out at Twitter for marking pictures he posts as 'sensitive media,' with the WikiLeaks editor threatening to quit the site because it's 'enslaved to its US jurisdiction and politics.' Assange told his 439,000 Twitter followers on Friday that he is looking for a 'decentralized/cryptographic alternative' to the social media giant. … 'Twitter's freedom of expression has been on an inexorable decline. It's enslaved to its US jurisdiction and politics. Although it is substantially better than Facebook that is a very low standard indeed,' Assange said online." (10/06/17)
3) FL: Cops abduct man over parody account that allegedly hurt police department's "brand"
Source: Gizmodo
"A Florida man has been arrested for running a parody Twitter account impersonating a Miami Beach Police Department spokesperson — a story we've already seen play out with two similar cases over the past few years. Although it has never ended well for authorities, police officers arrested 48-year-old Ernesto Orsetti on Wednesday at his Miami Beach home, the Miami New Times reports. MBPD Chief Dan Oates reportedly called Orsetti's behavior 'outrageous' and said he would be 'held accountable' for 'threatening to damage the reputation of our superb Public Information Officer, as well as the Miami Beach Police Department brand.' … In 2014, a man in Peoria, Illinois was raided by the city's police after creating a satirical account mocking its mayor. He was awarded $125,000 in damages after an unsuccessful attempt to bring charges against him during a case in which the defense argued a First Amendment right to satirize government officials."

4) Trump regime narrows ObamaCare's contraception mandate
Source: Washington Post
"The Trump administration issued a rule Friday that sharply limits the Affordable Care Act's contraception coverage mandate, a move that could mean many American women would no longer have access to birth control free of charge [sic]. The new regulation, issued by the Health and Human Services Department, allows a much broader group of employers and insurers to exempt themselves from covering contraceptives such as birth control pills on religious or moral grounds."

"The sound system squawked at 8 a.m., just as the school day was revving up at Worth County High School. The campus was now on lockdown, the announcement said. Neither the teachers nor students at the south Georgia school knew what was going on. For the next four hours, 40 uniformed officers — the entire staff of the Worth County Sheriff's Office — fanned through the school in Sylvester, ordering students against the walls of classrooms and hallways, demanding the kids hand over their cellphones. All 900 students were searched, part of a drug sweep ordered by Sheriff Jeff Hobby. He did not have a warrant. … By noon, when cells phones were handed back and classes resumed, no drugs had been found. … students came forward charging they had been inappropriately groped and manhandled by deputies. A class-action federal civil suit followed. And now, this week a grand jury indicted Hobby and two deputies for their part in the high school raid. Hobby faces charges of sexual battery, false imprisonment, and violation of oath of office." (10/06/17)
6) Catalonian, Spanish protesters call for talks
Source: Hereford Times [UK]
"Thousands of people have rallied in Madrid and Barcelona in a last-ditch call for Spanish and Catalan leaders to stave off a national crisis amid Catalonia's imminent threat to secede from the rest of Spain. The demonstrations in the Spanish capital and the Catalan city of Barcelona were held simultaneously under the slogan 'Shall We Talk?' in an effort to push legislators in both cities to end months of silence and start negotiating. The crowd wore white T-shirts and respected the organisers' call to not bring Spanish or Catalan flags." (10/07/17)

"A Colombian resort which is currently promoting a prostitute-filled 'sex island experience' has had its steamy promotional video removed from YouTube. The Good Girls Company's YouTube account, which was suspended by the site's moderators as of Friday morning, was advertising its sex-filled getaway with footage of scantily clad women dancing, partying on a yacht, and offering their services to a guest. The on-screen text also promised 'unlimited sex' would be included in the price of admission …. Despite the marketing video being removed from YouTube, tickets to the 'experience' are still available online, and cost $5,000 apiece, per the Sex Island website." (10/06/17)

Anton Morozov, a member of the Russian lower house of parliament's international affairs committee, and two other Russian lawmakers visited Pyongyang on Oct. 2-6, Russia's RIA news agency reported. 'They are preparing for new tests of a long-range missile. They even gave us mathematical calculations that they believe prove that their missile can hit the west coast of the United States,' RIA quoted Morozov as saying. … Morozov's comments drove up the price of U.S. Treasury bonds, as investors, worried about the prospect of new North Korean missile tests, moved into assets the market views as a safe haven in times of uncertainty."

Bowe Bergdahl, who was held captive by the Taliban for half a decade after abandoning his Afghanistan post, is expected to plead guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, two individuals with knowledge of the case said. … Freed three years ago, Bergdahl had been scheduled for trial in late October. He had opted to let a judge rather than a military jury decide his fate, but a guilty plea later this month will spare the need for a trial.

According to Disqus, it learned of the leak Thursday evening after Troy Hunt of Have I Been Pwned notified obtained a copy of the site's information and informed the company.

11) First as tragedy, then as farce
Source: EconLog
by Scott Sumner
"Countries such as China and Russia are reluctant to come to terms with their history. Many of their residents are unaware of the horrors perpetrated by Mao and Stalin. I suppose that's no big surprise; people prefer to see their country's history in a positive light. More surprising is that young people in America and Britain also seem unaware of the horrors of socialism. Indeed polls show that under 25 voters in the UK favor Labour over the Conservatives by a 3 to 1 margin. And that's largely due to their strong support for the Labour leader (and odds on favorite to be the next British Prime Minister), Jeremy Corbyn. Now you might argue that Corbyn is a European social democrat, not one of those bad socialists. But that's not really true." (10/05/17)
12) The dark history of Fear, Inc.
Source: The American Conservative
by Mark Perry
"Back in 1835, Samuel F.B. Morse (who went on to invent the telegraph and the Morse Code), wrote a book about a plot to overthrow the American republic. The conspiracy, Morse wrote, was well-funded, highly secretive, and hatched in Vienna by members of the The St. Leopold Foundation, which had dispatched cells of Jesuit missionaries to the U.S. to forcibly convert the nation to Roman Catholicism. This was no small intrigue: The plot's leaders, as Morse meticulously catalogued, were Austrian diplomat Klemens von Metternich, Ferdinand V of Hungary, and (of course) Pope Gregory XVI. 'It is high time that we awakened to the apprehension of danger,' Morse wrote. What is shocking about this nonsense is not that Morse actually believed it, but that millions of other Americans did too. Morse's book seeded the rise of the nativist 'Know-Nothing' party, whose goal was to curb immigration, root out Catholicism, and return America to its protestant ideals. In essence, they were the America-firsters of the nineteenth century." (10/06/17)
13) Tax reform is a scam: Tell us what we really pay!
Source: Independent Institute
by Jonathan Bean
"[T]he Republican Congress passed a budget in excess of $4 trillion. That is $12,693 per capita. Stated differently, the federal government spends $50,000 for every four Americans. Picture a family of four for comparison's sake. Where is the spending reform? That doesn't get to the real cost of government, which also includes local and state spending amounting to another $3 trillion. Total: $7 trillion or $21,700. In excess of $86,000 for every four Americans. Find three friends and start paying! It's a mark of our age that the high cost of government no longer elicits outrage or comment. The two major political parties bicker about social and cultural issues, thus distracting us from the bipartisan willingness to extract wealth from Americans." (10/05/17)
14) Decriminalization is not enough
Source: Future of Freedom Foundation
by Laurence M Vance
"The decriminalization of marijuana is not enough because it applies only to the possession of small amounts of marijuana. In most states that have decriminalized marijuana possession, no more than one ounce of pot is allowed. The decriminalization of marijuana is not enough because one can get caught with marijuana only a few times. Fines increase for subsequent offenses, as does the possibility of jail time and being charged with a felony. The decriminalization of marijuana is not enough because it includes only possession. The sale or cultivation of marijuana is generally still prohibited and can result in large fines and mandatory minimum prison sentences." (10/06/17)
15) People sometimes do bad things
Source: The Anarchist Shemale
by Aria DiMezzo
"No one (least of all libertarians) wants mass shootings to happen. In fact, libertarians are among the loudest of the people who speak out and condemn violence, whether it's orchestrated by random lunatics, police officers, or soldiers within the military. The libertarian position has decades of consistency and history that reveals itself to be loudly and explicitly pro-defense and anti-aggression. The means by which a person commits aggression, and the means by which a person exercises their right to self-defense, are not terribly important, as long as the Defender has weapons equal or greater to the weapons held by the attacker. One day, that attacker will be the United States Government, and the more we allow them to disarm us, the sooner that day will come." (10/05/17)
16) The US justice system must focus on elite criminality
Source: Liberty Blitzkrieg
by Michael Krieger
"Two very important articles published in recent days serve to once again highlight America's metastasizing elite criminality problem. A problem which our justice system simply refuses to address. This corrupt two-tier justice system is something I've been focused on from the very beginning of my writings, and I continue to see it as a civilization-level threat for this country if not aggressively addressed and confronted in the very near future."

17) Consumers harmed by Consumer Protection Bureau — again
Source: Competitive Enterprise Institute
by Iain Murray
"Yesterday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued yet another rule that will harm consumers. A new rule on small dollar loans will kill off about 75 percent of the existing small dollar loan industry, according to the Bureau's own figures. Yet the Bureau and its boosters like to talk about how much it is helping consumers, cracking down on wrong-doers and returning money to consumers. What they don't admit is that regulators are making life difficult for many consumers — especially those on the margins of the banking system. Or that regulators missed the biggest frauds and missteps, like the Equifax security breach, until many consumers were harmed. Taken together, these problems mean that the CFPB may be doing as much harm as good." (10/06/17)
18) The world needs an Austrian School approach to economic history
Source: Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Matteo Salonia
"The Austrian School of economics has advanced our understanding of the behavioral patterns that break the cycle of poverty and make prosperity possible. The genius and usefulness of Austrian original reflections like marginal utility are now recognized by many intellectuals and students of economic theory and praxis, and even by non-Austrian economists. Other contributions, such as the business cycle theory, have convinced less people without libertarian circles and remain controversial, but they do contribute to a relatively (and increasingly) well-known cohesive body of knowledge, a systematic approach to the production of goods and services and the link between human action, markets, government interventions, and crises. The Austrian contribution to the field of history has been, in contrast, quite lacking, not in terms of theoretical cohesiveness, but in terms of output and popularity." (10/06/17)
19) Politics as painfully usual
Source: Common Sense
by Paul Jacob
"The crazed nature of our leaders' willingness to spend beyond revenue, and accumulate debt, is not limited to one party. Both Democrats and Republicans are responsible for their outrageously perverse fiscal policies. Their irresponsibility hides in plain view, and can be seen in most of the major policy discussions of our time. Take two: 1. the Democrats' idea of putting every American on Medicare and 2. the Republicans' current tax reduction bill. Though the Republicans often pretend to be all about something called 'fiscal conservatism,' their murky tax plan is not fiscally sound. Not yet, anyway — after all, it is 'evolving.' And I expect it to get worse, not better." (10/06/17)
20) Free trade has no such prerequisites
Source: Cafe Hayek
by Don Boudreaux
"Dani Rodrik, expressing his famous skepticism of free trade, writes that 'A truly global economy, in which economic activity is unmoored from its national base, would necessitate transnational rule-making institutions that match the global scale and scope of markets' ('Why nation-states are good,' Oct. 2). Not so — at least, not so if what is meant by 'transnational rule-making institutions' are transnational bodies with legislative and administrative powers. A truly global economy is simply what happens when governments do not obstruct their citizens' decisions to trade with foreigners." (10/05/17)

In a saucepan, stir together vinegar and honey and cook on medium-low, until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Remove from heat and let cool. Meanwhile, heat a grill to high heat. Season each steak with salt and pepper. Transfer steaks to grill and cook until medium-rare, or desired doneness. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. In a sauté pan, combine balsamic glaze and butter and bring to a simmer. Add the steaks to the glaze mixture, and baste for about two minutes. Remove from heat. Line the tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil into a salad and drizzle with oil. Serve salad alongside the steak.

What is JobMatch?
In simple terms Group Training (jobmatch) is when an organisation, in this case Novaskill, employee and commits to train a number of trainees and apprentices and then lease them out to 'host employers' within the relevant industry and role for the duration of their training contract.
Novaskill charge an hourly rate to the host employer. To develop the hourly rate our corporate service manager will calculate the total cost for the apprentice/trainee for the duration of the training contract and divide this cost by the appropriate time frame.
Benefits of JobMatch
Teaming up with Novaskill JobMatch can offer many benefits and reduce a lot of unnecessary stress for employers.
Below is a full list of benefits the GTO process would offer a host employer.

Welcome to the October 2015 edition of our peripheral staff picks, where we recommend the best monitors, mice, keyboards, and more to complete your PC. If you're loading up your shopping cart with parts from our latest System Guide and want to finish off your system with some worthy peripherals to match, this is the place to be.
Where possible, we're recommending stuff that we've personally reviewed, but the vast world of PC hardware keeps us from touching every single product out there. If there's a hole in our coverage, we'll turn to reliable external sources for perspective.
If you like this article, don't miss the rest of our guide series: our main System Guide, in which we recommend PC components and custom builds; our how-to-build-a-PC guide, where we walk readers (and viewers) through the PC assembly process; and our mobile staff picks, where we talk about our favorite notebooks, phones, and tablets.
Our guides are sponsored by Newegg, so we'll be using links to their product pages throughout this article. You can (and should!) support TR by using these links to purchase the products we recommend. If Newegg doesn't stock an item we want to recommend, we'll link to other resellers as needed.
Where would we be without displays? Not reading this guide, that's for sure. In general, a good display should have an IPS panel with accurate color reproduction, wide viewing angles, and a decent complement of inputs. The dreaded TN panel is getting much better, however, and we've reviewed a couple of premium TN displays that hang right with IPS panels for overall quality.
Variable-refresh-rate displays are still gaining steam. Since we last surveyed the marketplace, Dell has announced its plans to produce a G-Sync display that'll arrive this month, and LG has incorporated AMD's FreeSync tech into an appealing 4K display that we'll examine in our recommendations.
Graphics card and monitor manufacturers still haven't agreed on a universal standard for VRR displays, though. Nvidia is off in one corner with its proprietary G-Sync tech, while AMD and the VESA standards body are sort of mushed together in another with FreeSync and the Adaptive-Sync standard. Intel has announced its intent to support Adaptive-Sync at some point in the future, though, and the weight of that company's support has the potential to tip the VRR wars in Adaptive-Sync's favor.
For now, G-Sync monitors only work with some Nvidia GeForce graphics cards, and FreeSync only works with compatible AMD Radeon cards. Yeah, it's a bit of a headache, but the result is so, so worth it.
You might also be thinking about a 4K monitor to pair with a top-of-the-line graphics card. We're happy to report that some of the issues with 4K monitors seem to be smoothing out a bit. For example, dual-tile displays are now pretty rare. More new 4K monitors seem to be using DisplayPort's single-stream transport feature, which means that the monitor appears to PC firmware, Windows, and games as a single 3840x2160 display, rather than as a pair of lower-res displays. That avoids a lot of headaches, and it's a feature worth seeking out.
Finally, curved displays are becoming more and more popular. They're especially good for creating sweeping multi-monitor vistas that wrap around for a more immersive experience. We'll consider a couple of these monitors in both VRR and non-VRR flavors in our recommendations.
Variable-refresh-rate displays
|Acer XB280HK
|28" 3840x2160 TN, 60Hz, G-Sync
|Acer XB270HU
|27" 2560x1440 IPS, 144Hz, G-Sync
|Asus ROG Swift PG278Q
|27" 2560x1440 TN, 144Hz, G-Sync
|Samsung S24E370DL
|24" 1920x1080 PLS, 60Hz, FreeSync
|Asus MG279Q
|27" 2560x1440 IPS, 144Hz, FreeSync
|27" 3840x2160 IPS, 60Hz, FreeSync
|Acer XR341CK
|Curved 34" 3440x1440 IPS, 75Hz, FreeSync
G-Sync at 4K: Acer XB280HK
For those who want the highest resolution possible in a G-Sync-enabled display, Acer's XB280HK is still the only way to get there. This 28", 4K display packs a TN panel with a 1-ms response time and a maximum refresh rate of 60 Hz. The XB280HK also comes with a fully-adjustable stand and a built-in USB 3.0 hub.
If you're turned off by the idea of a TN panel in a display this expensive, we'd encourage you to take a second look. We've found that premium TN panels are very nearly as good as the average IPS displays these days, so there's no reason to dismiss the XB280HK based on its panel tech alone. If you're still not convinced, check out the Acer XB270HU (or consider the 4K, FreeSync LG 27MU67 and its IPS panel, as long as you're willing to pair it with a Radeon graphics card).
G-Sync and IPS: Acer XB270HU
If the TN panel in the XB280HK above is a deal-breaker, Acer's XB270HU is a fine alternative. It's a 27", 2560x1440 display with an IPS panel. The IPS tech does increase response time to 4 ms, but the XB270HU comes with a fast 144 Hz refresh rate, which might make up for that slightly more laggy spec. Like its 4K stablemate, the XB270HU comes tricked-out with a height- and tilt-adjustable stand and a built-in USB 3.0 hub.
An Asus alternative with G-Sync: Asus ROG Swift PG278Q
If either of the Acer displays we recommend are out of stock, or you dislike their styling, Asus' ROG Swift PG278Q is an excellent display in its own right. This G-Sync-equipped screen features a 27", 2560x1440 TN panel with a 1 ms response time and a 144 Hz maximum refresh rate. It also features a fancy OSD control system and a chiseled, angular exterior that makes a statement on a desk. Its lower resolution versus Acer's XB280HK may be easier to drive for some systems, too.
Be aware, though: Asus has announced an IPS-based follow-up to this product, and we expect to see it in stores soon.
Affordable FreeSync: Samsung S24E370DL
FreeSync displays seem to be on the cusp of affordability in absolute terms, not just relative to their G-Sync competitors. Samsung's S24E370DL looks to be leading that charge when it arrrives in November (you can pre-order one today).
For just $249, this display offers a high-quality 1080p PLS panel and wireless charging for Qi-compatible devices through its stand. The S24E370DL's maximum refresh rate is only 60Hz, but we're not complaining about that when buttery-smooth VRR goodness can be had for this little money.
FreeSync and IPS: Asus MG279Q
For a step up from the Samsung display above, Asus' MG279Q should be an excellent bet. This 27", 2560x1440 IPS display can run at up to 144Hz (though it tops out at 90Hz in FreeSync mode). Check out our video review for all of the details.
FreeSync and 4K: LG 27MU67
LG's 27MU67 ticks several boxes we want to see in a high-end display: FreeSync, 4K resolution, and a 27" IPS panel. Despite that high-end feature set, the 27MU67 doesn't carry a premium: its $550 price tag is lower than the MG279Q's, and it's comparable to that of 4K non-VRR displays. If you can assemble the pixel-pushing power to drive it, the 27MU67 looks quite compelling.
Curved FreeSync and IPS: Acer XR341CK
Want a curved vista to go with your IPS FreeSync display? Acer's XR341CK delivers. This 34", 3440x1440 monster can run at variable refresh rates up to 75Hz. It's got a monster price tag, too, at about $1100, but there's nothing else quite like it on the market.
Acer tricks out the XR341CK with built-in speakers, ambient lighting, and a USB 3.0 hub. Pair a couple of these beauties with a powerful graphics setup, and you'd probably have the most immersive gaming experience this side of a VR headset.

My name is Samantha Lynn.
I am a writer who is just about to graduated with her Bachelor's, and someone who has always wanted to have her own blog to showcase her writing. With graduation coming up, this seems like the perfect next step for me. So, Let me tell you a bit about myself and the purpose of this site for you.
For one, I want a place to showcase my writing, and a website is a great way to do that. On the other hand, I want you all to enjoy my writing as much as I always hope my future audience will. I like writing about nature, life, and things that motivate me to life my life to the fullest.
Who am I really?
Ever since I was five years old and first learned to write, I would always pretend I was a famous author, writing best-selling novels in my flower diary with one of those breakable locks. I have always been a Sims player, and every time I make a character since that game first came out, I would make my character a writer.
It is in my blood. I like reading books. I like writing poetry, short stories, and motivational articles. I have a few minor publications from my college years.
I have many other unhealthy addictions as well.

Who Knew?
I've never been to Michigan in the fall. We usually go at Christmas, when people have started keeping count of how many days it's been since they've seen the sun, and we went once in May, which can be a tricky month--weather-wise.
But this visit, the weather gods were all, Valerie, we feel you've suffered enough. Here's a softball, and gave me the most lovely fall weekend. I walked around James's childhood neighborhood, and was filled with a sense of well-being. The mild air (not freezing!), the sunlight filtering through the trees (sunlight! leaves to filter sunlight through!), the surprisingly good tacos . . . it was nearly magical.
Michigan is a funny place for me. Because I've been so infrequently, my memories there are less memories and more like a collection of snapshots: the cold May with the hard, bright sunshine when we came for our open house, eight months after we were married; the Christmas we spent in the basement watching Antiques Roadshow; my favorite movie theatre where you can fill (and butter) your own bucket of popcorn where we took Edie as a baby and James held her through a showing of Sherlock Holmes; and the frigid New Years we spent ridding the Holly Jolly Trolley and I thought my feet would freeze off,
This one, with it's perfect mildness, was new, and I'm glad to slip it into the pile.

Mathematical Finance/Financial Engineering Seminar

1 hour (actually 50 minutes)
Skiles 005
Many derivatives products are directly or indirectly associated with integrated diffusion processes. We develop a general perturbation method to price those derivatives. We show that for any positive diffusion process, the hitting time of its integrated process is approximately normally distributed when the diffusion coefficient is small. This result of approximate normality enables us to reduce many derivative pricing problems to simple expectations. We illustrate the generality and accuracy of this probabilistic approach with several examples, with emphasis on timer options. Major advantages of the proposed technique include extremely fast computational speed, ease of implementation, and analytic tractability.

What is Gamification?
Gamification is the application of game-play mechanics, thinking, and dynamics in non-game settings to engage people and solve problems.
These events often add into points, badges, and/or leadership boards.
What is Game Theory?
Game Theory and Gamification
According to Zhong, game theory is "the study of how people behave in strategic situations" (par. 1).
In this case, game implies two or more players and a set of rules.
Strategic game theories often involve three important aspects: players, strategies, and payoffs.
players--individuals who make suitable choices
strategies--rules how individuals play the game
payoffs--rewards at the end of the game, related to all players
Users of Game Theory and Gamification
Today, nearly everyone is using game theory and gamification. This is definitely with the help of growing technology, especially smartphones.
There are game applications for literally everything from completing a to-do list to recovering from an illness. Upon list completion or recovery, an individual receives motivation from their device to strive for rewards or points.
People love to complete and feel accomplished; therefore, everything is being gamified for anyone who has internet access.

Pros of Gamification and Game Theory
These techniques provide immediate and detailed feedback.
Students have begun to develop greater abilities in online learning with the expectation of learning on-demand.
Visual representation is encouraged and activates student's imagination to stimulate the learning environment.
Most of the applications have avatars, which encourages students to collaborate with their peers and develop higher levels of learning.
Gamification helps students who do not react well in conventional settings.
History of Game Theory
Game theory concepts can be traced to philosophical and political works such as Plato's Republic.
However, John von Nuemann is considered to be the founder of game theory because of the development, which began with the definition of focusing on math and economics.
Von Nuemann also developed the "minimax" theorem, which is a way of minimizing the maximum possible loss and contributed to game theory.
History of Gamification
Although gamification sounds like a relatively new term, gamification, like game theory, has been around for quite some time; rewards-based incentive programs have existed for years.
It was not until 2002 that the "serious games" movement really took off because of social media sites and smartphone applications.
Game partners and video designers started to work alongside educators, the military, the medical field and corporations to develop and embrace players in their respective focus area.
In the last 10 years, the gaming industry has boomed tremendously; however, not all the the boom has been for educational purposes.

Cons of Gamification and Game Theory
Many individuals argue that gamifying everything will not help students in the future.
Gamification runs the risk of actually decreasing motivation if it focuses strictly on a rewards system to encourage participation and the reward system fails.
Another common concern about the many uses of gamification is that they invade user's privacy. In most cases, the individuals track the participant's points and achievements, which broadcasts their activity.
Gamification provides issue to less-fortunate individuals who do not have a smart phone or internet access outside of the library; therefore, less-fortunate individuals do not benefit as much as well-off students.
Others argue that students must have a strong mentorship at home or at the library to know how to properly use and not abuse these resources.
Game Theory and Gamification in the Library
Game theory and gamification can be incorporated in the library setting in many different ways such as using apps called Lemontree and Orangetree. These apps are connected to the library system to collect information about patron usage so they can reward them for the activities. One earns points by library visits or at unusual times. This is used with the hopes of encouraging library use and inviting friends to come as well.
Passport allows educators to customize challenges and design badges when students develop new skills. This also allows students to "replay" difficult levels and for teachers to integrate the results into their grading scheme.
Gamification allows the ability to have virtual library tours and scavenger hunts afterward, a huge plus for colleges.
Game Theory and Gamification in the Library cont.
Before gamifying the library, two questions individuals should ask themselves: 1. What are the goals of the project? 2. How will gamification help me achieve this goal?
Below, the video further discusses gamification in education. Although most of the it pertains to classrooms, libraries can definitely receive important information on the advantages or disadvantages to adding gamification to the library.
One of the most well-known examples of gamification is the application, Foursquare. It allows individuals to check in at various places to earn points.
The video on the right, gives further background information on gamification in society.

The idea of the workshop is to introduce the charcoal drawing technique and imprinting technique (by using the carbon paper). Moreover, the aim is to get to know the basic art elements with the emphasis on the element of texture. The workshop participants in the first part will be drawing on paper using charcoal what is for them the favourite texture of a stone that they will have on their side. In the second part of the workshop they will be imprinting that same texture by using the carbon paper. At the end of the workshop we will be analysing the works created jointly in these interesting techniques and our small exhibition will be put up. The formats of the works will be miniature, the size of a box of matches (5.3cm x 3.5cm). We will also learn what the notion of miniature means.
WORKSHOP: The workshop will be held in two groups of around 10 children. The first one is intended for children from 1 – 4 grade, and the second for children from 5 – 8 grade.
WORKSHOP DURATION: 30 – 90 min.
WORKSHOP DATE AND TIME: Saturday July 1 2017; 10 a.m.
WORKSHOP LEADER: Ivana Dražić Selmani, academy-trained painter

The sky wasn't blue and the sun wasn't shining, in fact it was raining, but still 24 enthusiastic solo sailors arrived at South Cerney Sailing Club for the Solo open meeting, 13 club members and 11 visitors, may be it was the lure of the smell of bacon frying in the club house or the attraction of the blue waters of the Cotswold Water Park.
For the first race the wind was fairly light and variable but the fleet away first time, local boats lead and Andy Miles built a lead followed by Blair Jamieson showing that his success in Bart's Bash was no fluke, or was it?
At the finish it was South Cerney boats in first to fourth, Guy Lonsdale in his first outing in his new boat taking third with Andy Shaw fourth then the first of the visitors, James Ross of Hamble River SC in fifth.
The course for the second race caused some confusion among the competitors as Race Officer Gary Morris set a traditional triangle sausage. The rain continued and the wind had built a little such that boats were planning on the reaches and as a gust came through on one of the dead downwind legs there were anxious faces on some of the competitors. This time it was visitors, James Ross first followed by Vanda Jowett, Littleton SC, second with Guy Lonsdale taking third and Andy Miles fourth.
After a break for lunch the fleet were greeted with glorious sunshine for the afternoon races, the third of which was another trip around the lake, this time it was Guy Lonsdale who took the honours followed by James Ross with Rob Mitchell of Chew Valley in third.
Going into the final race three points separated the top three boats, the wind had eased and the first beat was tricky, you had to get the shifts right, Vanda Jowett rounded the windward mark first and built a lead with the other top contenders fighting among themselves, eventually James Ross broke clear and hunted Vanda down, squeezing through to take first and the event, Vanda's second was only good enough for fourth overall as Andy Miles came home third.
Top 5 results:
|Helm Name
|James Ross
|Hamble River SC
|Guy Lonsdale
|South Cerney SC
|Andy Miles
|South Cerney SC
|Vanda Jowett
|Littleton SC
|Jonathan Jowett
|Littleton SC
Full Results are here and a fantastic gallery of pictures (thanks to Dave Whittle) is here.

Kihwal Lee created HADOOP-8611: ---------------------------------- Summary: Allow fall-back to the shell-based implementation when JNI-based users-group mapping fails Key: HADOOP-8611 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8611 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: security Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha, 0.23.0, 1.0.3 Reporter: Kihwal Lee Assignee: Kihwal Lee Fix For: 1.1.1, 0.23.3, 3.0.0, 2.2.0-alpha When the JNI-based users-group mapping is enabled, the process/command will fail if the native library, libhadoop.so, cannot be found. This mostly happens at client-side where users may use hadoop programatically. Instead of failing, falling back to the shell-based implementation will be desirable. Depending on how cluster is configured, use of the native netgroup mapping cannot be subsituted by the shell-based default. For this reason, this behavior must be configurable with the default being "disabled". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

How to Stay Social in College
College is considered to be a new stage of a person's life, which usually provides that person with a bunch of opportunities, new acquaintances, and fun stuff to reminisce about later. However, very often, because of the fear to encounter something unfamiliar, we do not know how to act right not to become antisocial. Here, you will find some advice on how NOT to become a party pooper.
Learn to Enjoy the Loneliness
It is a common misconception to perceive the state of solitude as a negative one. Learn to accept it as a chance for self-development. Of course, it is not healthy to isolate yourself from the whole world, but it is necessary to enjoy your own company from time to time.
Never Underestimate Yourself
Usually, we feel uncomfortable in a new surrounding which makes us feel less self-confident. We start to compare our material status, behavior, or even appearance to the position of people whom we consider to be superior. STOP IT! Instead, try to stay yourself and win others' favor with the help of a charming smile, nice attitude, and charisma. Never underestimate your ability to make people interested in your persona.
Try to Find a Soulmate
Keep in mind that it is more pleasant and more interesting to spend time in the company of people who share the same interests and have views on life similar to yours. Do not invent the wheel! Keep in touch with those who are on the same wavelength with you. It is better to have one worthy person to talk to rather than a million of shallow strangers not paying attention to your life.
Stay Diverse
In order to make people interested in you, try to be versatile. It is vital not only to study, attend classes, and complete assignments. Life is not only about cramming! It is necessary to develop yourself as an individual, have hobbies, and devote your time to extracurricular activities. If you are a knowledgeable person who can keep the ball rolling, there are higher chances to make friends.
Be a Joining Element
There is nothing better than a good company pastime. The more people, the more fun! As soon as you have decided to relax, think of friends that could help you with this. The ability to bring unacquainted people together often turns into long lasting relationships. A good company, though, always means great adventures. What about creating a perfect surrounding on your own?
Don't Forget about Politeness
No one has repealed the rules of etiquette! At all times, remember that the rule "Treat people the way you want to be treated" still works. You will get more benefits if you are a polite person with positive attitude rather than an arrogant snob noticing nothing else except yourself. Make people feel comfortable next to you.
Develop Your Social Skills
College gives us an opportunity to develop solid social skills. Here, we learn how to make friends, interact, and have effective communication with others. As a result of acquiring social skills, we increase our overall happiness and get prepared for an adult life.
Build yourself up! It is high time to make friends and develop social skills. Make your college years unforgettable!
