The Nikon Coolpix P100 is a 10.3 megapixel camera with a massive 26x zoom range, covering an equivalent focal length of 26-678mm. The P100 is packed with features and cool shooting modes that help set it apart from other cameras on shelf. To see whether all these features add up to a camera that's right for you, read on.
As a superzoom camera, the Nikon P100 has a beefier feel to it than your typical point and shoot camera. The rubberized grip is large and has a DSLR-like feel to it. It's a very easy and comfortable camera to hold. While you can hold the camera with one hand utilizing the large grip, the P100 is definitely a camera you want to put two hands on – especially when zooming way out there. Fortunately, the lens barrel provides a very intuitive grip point for your left hand, which further adds to the DSLR-ish feel.
The P100's main settings can be found on the mode dial atop the camera. From there, you can quickly access the fully automatic mode and the more advanced P, A, S and M modes, as well as special scene modes.
The articulating 3-inch LCD panel is one of the features on the P100 that's immediately impressive. It is a relatively high resolution display that is bright and easy to view in most lighting conditions. The screen will tilt down and fold out to tilt up as well, which allows you to makes easy use of high and low viewing angles. In the bright sun light, the screen is rather difficult to see; however, that's not uncommon among most digital cameras, so I can't knock it too hard.
An electronic viewfinder can also be found on the P100. A lot of times electronic viewfinders don't track motion very well, but the P100 seems to be better than most, even if it's a bit small.
The shutter release button works well at the front of the grip and easily activates autofocus through a half press. Likewise, the zoom rocker switch, which wraps around the shutter release, is intuitive and has a good feel to it. The top of the P100 also features a pop-up flash and a stereo mic for recording audio during video capture.
The controls on the back of the camera are rather typical of what you see on a point and shoot, with quick access buttons for timer, flash, macro focus and exposure compensation. You also get the standard preview and delete buttons for image review. A display button cycles through the various display options in both live view mode and image review mode. Switching between the LCD and electronic viewfinder is possible via a dedicated rear panel button as well. For additional settings (other than the video recording discussed below), you'll need to dig into the menu using a button on the rear.
One of the most convenient button locations is the one that starts and stops video recording, which is accessible with your right thumb when gripping the P100 in a normal manner. Camera manufacturers have gotten the hint that users want quick access to video recording options without jumping through menus or turning a mode dial and, as a result, many new camera models feature a dedicated video recording button. Nikon goes a step further with the P100 by including a switch next to the record button that allows you to choose between HD video and High Speed video. When you hit the record button, the camera will capture video footage in whichever format you have selected.
For the most part, taking photos and capturing video with the Nikon P100 is a rather smooth and enjoyable experience. In single focus mode, autofocus acquisition is rather quick for a point and shoot camera, and it is generally accurate. Continuous autofocus can lead to some hunting and sluggish AF in low light, which is rather typical of a point and shoot camera. The P100's full time AF mode is just not quick enough to keep up with moving kids indoors. For performance reasons, I found myself keeping the P100 in single AF mode most of the time.
The articulating LCD comes in quite handy with the Nikon P100. Since it makes for better photos most of the time to be down on a kid's level, the P100 is easy on the grown-ups' back by allowing us to hold the camera at waist level to frame our shots. You also get the added benefit of being a little more 'under the radar' by not holding a camera up in front of your face. I found myself shooting quite a bit at waist level by just tilting the display angle where I could see it.
The zoom action on the P100 is pretty quick, which is great when you want to get close for a quick shot; however, it slows down when you're shooting video so that you don't get carried away. Unfortunately, the zooming action generates some jiggles along the way when recording video. It's not too bad, but it's definitely noticeable. At the long end of the zoom though, the image stabilization seems to really do a number on the video jiggles, making it hard to use the full reach of the zoom for video.
High speed video is one very cool feature on the Nikon P100. It will capture a maximum frame rate of 240 fps for a 10 seconds, which results in a playback time of 80 seconds. I had a lot of fun with the slow motion effect produced by these high frame rate videos.
The P100's high speed modes also offer 120 fps, 60 fps and 15 fps. Instead of a slow motion effect, the 15 fps capture mode provides normal video at twice the speed since it is played back at 30 fps. The high speed video frame rates are captured at a varying resolutions, as shown below.
The high speed frame rate for still images is another impressive feature on the P100. It will capture a continuous burst of full resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, which is more that a lot of point and shoot cameras can say for themselves. This feature works well when you are trying to capture a single moment of action and you don't want to miss the climax event of the fast paced action. The P100 isn't going to track in full time AF while it is shooting, so you have to position yourself to try to lock the action at a given distance so that the subject is coming at you or moving away from you. Still yet, it works quite well on the P100 and can come in handy in lots of situations.
I was also very impressed with the image stabilization system in the P100. I was more than surprised at some of the shutter speeds that I used at long focal lengths. Kudos to Nikon for making the stabilization so effective. You'll see a small flavor of this in the sample images below.
I could keep on going and going about all the bell, whistles and cool features in the P100's arsenal, but I'll save some space for image quality issues and address one the biggest reasons we buy cameras. The unfortunate part of the P100 assessment is that the image quality isn't as good as I had anticipated. When I previously looked the P100 at the time it was announced, I had high hopes for its image quality based on the the preliminary results and the fact that it had a backlit illuminated CMOS sensor.
Below you will find a sample of images captured across the ISO range from the Nikon P100. I've included close ups, cropped at 100%, as well as the complete images themselves to give you a flavor of what web-sized images at higher ISOs will look like.
As you can see from these photos, they look pretty good at these sizes on the web thanks to Nikon's aggressive noise reduction. They'll also be fine for 4×6 or 5×7 prints for the most part. Certainly, they'll be good enough for most family albums. However, if you like to enlarge prints from time to time beyond the typical album or small frame sizes, you may find the P100 failing to live up to acceptable standards.
Below are a handful of additional images taken at various settings with the P100.
Below is a short 1080p sample from the P100.

Nikon EN-EL5 Battery – The Nikon P100 comes with one of these rechargeable lithium-ion batteries; however, if you're going to be away from power for an extended period, you can pick up spares.
Memory cards – I've used the basic Kingston SD cards in the Nikon P100, which worked just fine. No need to go all out on fast memory cards with the P100. Cheap cards from reputable brands will work just fine. The P100 is compatible with all SD and SDHC cards – but not SDXC cards.
Memory card reader – If you don't own a memory card reader, they make transferring images to your computer a world faster. I highly recommend picking one up with the P100. They're cheap and big time saver. Lexar makes a good card reader for about $15.
The Nikon P100 holds the unfortunate position of being the first superzoom camera that I've reviewed out of the latest crop of several other similar cameras. As a result, it will continually be referred to in future reviews of cameras like the Olympus SP-800UZ, Fuji HS10 and other not-so-long superzoom cameras.
If you can keep it around ISO 400 or less (and that's possible thanks to the ability to set a max ISO in the camera so it won't shoot above ISO 400), then you can likely do a little better with image quality. The not-quite-there image quality of this camera holds it back from being awesome.
does p100 has times lapse recording as p90 had ?
@pritam – Yes. It has interval timer shooting. You can set it to capture at 30 sec, 1 min, 5 min or 10 min intervals.
@Wally Brooks – No RAW. The P100 is JPEG only.
That was a very nice and pretty thorough review of the Nikon P100.
Read reviews for Canon G11 and Nikon P100 – seems like G11 is superior for photo quality, but P100 might be more versatile. Do you have a recommendation as to overall better camera? Appreciate your candid evaluations.
@Bob – I agree. The G11 offers better overall image quality, but it's not quite as feature-packed in terms of video and, of course, zoom range. Better camera is relative to your needs, but for better overall image quality, I'd go with the G11 (and that would be my pick for a personal camera between these two).
I bought the P100 right before a two week vacation on Grand Cayman. The camera is very versatile, I took HD videos of my daughter and son-in-law on the wave runner with full zoom with tripod and got pretty good results. Stills were very good, and night pictures of light buildings were very good.
Good shots of the grand-kids in the pool. shutter lag was negligible, resolution, exposure and color were all great.
I would have needed a whole trunk of gear with DSLR, Lenses and video camera.
Will you be doing a comparison between the 3 "Megazoom" cameras – The Coolpix P100, Finepix HS10 and the Olympus SP800UZ. I am retiring soon and my colleagues want to give me a camera as a retirement gift. I would like to step up from a point and shoot but don't want to lug all the extra weight and lenses of a DSLR. The Bridge cameras sound like a wonderful compromise.
I'm looking for a camera and the P100 is now on 370€ but my mother has just buy the D3000 and she told me that her camera is more better than the P100.
I'm very amateur… and the D3000 is now at 490€.
Can I buy the P100 without problems? Or may I do what my mother say and buy the D3000?
@ Daniel, the D3000, which I have, does NOT have video functions, tho it does have an after action retouch feature for creating "stop frame" animations. For making HD movies, however, you truly need the P100.
I am also looking for a bridge camera, I am comparing the P100 with the Lumix FZ35, and I absolutely cannot decide which one to go with. I also looked at the Fuji HS10, its video quality is lackluster, the P100 blows it away.
Can anyone give any advice in choosing either the P100 or the FZ35, please ?
I'm more interested in image quality than features.
I bought a P 100 and realized the screen had a few dead pixels. I returned that one and got a replacement thinking it was an issue with just that one. I have since tried 2 others and each had the same issue. Is this a common factor or am I just getting defective products?
Can you please tell me for how long you can record video with P100 in HD?
I did not find any specification about this topic nor any comments.
so can some body recommend to me what is better of the last choices or if there is another choice please let me know.
Can anyone describe the compression between P90 & P100.
I'm an amateur photography hobbyist lukin 4 a superzoom to take on a tour.
It seems I'm the 3rd person to ask tis qn in tis discussion. I can't decide between a Panny FZ38 and P100.
which one lets us tweak the settings easily- like aperture, shutterspeed, exposure,etc?
Should I go for FZ45/100 ?
The Fuji HS10 is currently as good as you'll get in the superzoom category,unless you move up to the weight,expense, and bulk of a DSLR,with equivalent lenses.
I have owned Canon and Nikon DSLRs,and sold them, as the weight just put me off,and carrying a big bag around on holiday is not much fun.
I had a couple of Panasonic FZ cameras,good cameras,but always felt a bit small in my big hands,but had good lenses and picture quality.
I've still got a Panasonic FZ35,a cracking little "take anywhere" pocket camera,which is a great camera,when you can't be bothered with a small shoulder bag.
I've had a couple of Fuji's,the S602Z,7000Z,and then the S9600,all great in their way,and all produced bright,colourful A4s,(even the 3MP S602z!).
The HS10 images are equally good,and the lens is great,and it's a well made,solid camera,with a really useful folding LCD.
Unless you regularly make massive prints,or regularly attend fast moving sport games,there is not a lot to be gained buy buying a DSLR,and various expensive lenses,and I speak from long experience.
I would also ignore the usual reviewers comments regarding "noise" in pictures as well,as in the average A4 print,(not on their 22″ computer screens)you won't see any anyway,and I've produced plenty,most with varying degrees of cropping,from various "compact" cameras.
In fact,looking through a large selection of my prints,all of varying subjects,it hard to make out which camera was used in taking them,the DSLR prints certainly didn't leap out at you because they were so much better.
Of course I know ALL the superzooms are a bit slower to use than a DSLR,with a longer shutter lag,but,you can work around this,with various multi-frame settings,and my HS10 can take far better macro photos than any of my DSLRs could(without having to buy an expensive macro lens!),and the 724mm end of the lens is superb for nature photos!
And the advantage of not having to change lenses,and having everything in one fairly compact camera,is a boon to the walkers and travellers amongst us!
As regards RAW files,I think,in my experience,they're not really worth the hassle regarding the time you have to spend editing them on the computer,as I find that modern,low compression,"fine" jpegs,are usually of excellent quality,and you would be hard put to tell the difference if you compare them side to side.
Cetainly your non-photographic friends couldn't tell them apart!
i bought a p 100 three days back but was not satisfied by its image quality, how is the new canon sx 30 is in comparison? or the panny fz 38. which is the best superzoom camera these days in terms of still image quality ?
After having use of a Panasonic FZ45 for the last week or so,I have had to revise my opinions!
The Panasonic,(at the 10.5 MP setting)has just short of a 30X zoom,like my HS10,but it is quicker to use,focussing is spot on,and is over 100grams lighter.
Pictures are consistently sharp,and you can take continuous flash pictures,(although only at 3MP)at 1.5 fps,which is very useful at parties,or taking pictures of pets,or children.
The 3″ rear screen,however,is fixed,but can be viewed at odd angles,however,and is nice and sharp.
The FZ100 is very similar,but has a CMOS sensor,a fully flexible rear screen,and full HS movie mode,if thats important to you.
It is considerably more expensive,however,has shorter battery life)and also has the same small EVF as the FZ45(and the HS10!),but the picture quality is very similar to the FZ45,so it's whether you think the extra expense of the FZ100 is worth it.
The Leica lenses on the Panasonics are superb,and any of their cameras(and I have had a few!)all produce first class results,are consistently well made and reliable.
So in conclusion,I would rate the latest Panasonics as amongst the very best of current Superzooms,ahead of the Canon SX30(which I have also had use of) and Fuji HS10,if only because of the faster image capture,and flash operation,Leica lenses,and being less bulky.
any news of an upgrade for the P100 in the near future?
It has been out for a while now, and everyone and his brother knows it has a soft lens. One would expect Nikon to come out with more megs and sharper lens soon, yes?
I bought the P100 and it works fine. But if I'm not bringing the manual with me I don't know how to change the ISO, the shooting,etc.. And now after I missed up with if I press the shutter it takes a long time see the pictures lolz. Does anybody here are professional with P100. Need some help guys.
can we edit the picture that captured by nikon coolpix p100?..because this camera don't have RAW format.
Please suggest me a camera which has excellent image quality and which can shoot in low light.
It should have a zoom of at least 24x and 10 Mp.

Media Matters' Fake-News Pro-Slavery Headline
In journalism, a "lede" is the introductory section of a news story, intended to entice the reader into reading the full story. Traditionally, the lede is the first (or "lead") paragraph. But in today's fast-paced news media, enticements include the story's headline, subheading and a short summary that precedes the actual story, usually distinguished by a different typeface.
The term "burying the lede" refers to a newspaper story that is downplaying the significance of the actual story by "burying" important information deep in the article. Now, "burying the lede" ought not be confused with "fake news," an expression popularized by President Donald Trump. After a recent television appearance, I experienced the latter. The term resonates due to left-wing outlets such as Media Matters, a website with a supposed mission of monitoring conservative opinion.
In my recent appearance on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," the hosts asked about Sen. Cory Booker's, D-N.J., plan to introduce a bill for reparations.
This is what I said, in its entirety:
"Slavery reparations, in my opinion, is the extraction of money from people who were never slave owners and given to people who were never slaves. It was just too long ago. Slavery ended 150 years ago. The parallels might be the reparation paid to Japanese Americans put in relocation camps in World War II. But those monies were paid to them who were victimized or to their legal heirs. Same thing with respect to (the) Holocaust. It's just too long ago.
"And what about intermarriage? What about people like (Sen.) Kamala Harris (D-Calif.)? Her father is from Haiti (actually, from Jamaica), and he has admitted that in his family, his family owned slaves. So does Kamala Harris pay a check, or does she receive a check? What about Obama? Obama's mother — her ancestors owned slaves. His father is from Kenya.
That area of Africa was a hot point for slave trading on the part of Africans enslaved by other Africans and then sold to European and Arab slavers by African chieftains. Does Obama pay a check, or does he get a check? I mean, the whole thing is absolutely absurd.
"And look, think tanks on the left and on the right have pretty much said the same thing about how one escapes poverty and gets to the middle class. Finish high school, don't have a kid before you're 20 and get married before you have a kid. You follow that formula, you will not be poor. And they don't say that formula does not apply to blacks or does not apply to people who used to have ancestors who were slaves.
This is America for crying out loud! This is the greatest country in all of human creation. You can go from nothing to something faster than in any other country in the world. And we ought to be taking advantage of the opportunities that we have right now instead of fighting old battles.
It is divisive. Even Obama opposed reparations in 2016 when he was asked about it, primarily because he thought it would be politically too divisive. And he's right. It is unpopular. Only about 26% of Americans support reparations. Let's knock it off and let's move on."
A host asked a follow-up question: "What do you say about the inequity in society, that racism exists and this is one way to equal the playing field?" So, I added:
"Look, in 1940, 87% of blacks lived below the federally defined level of poverty. Twenty years later, in 1960, that number had been cut to 47% — a 40-point drop in 20 years. The greatest 20-year period of economic expansion for blacks in history. This is before the welfare state, before race-based preferences. My point is the real problem right now are left-wing policies that have made things worse. The welfare state has incentivized women to marry the government and allowed men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility.
And Obama said a kid without a father is five times more likely to be poor, nine times more likely to drop out of school, 20 times more likely to end up in jail.
Let's talk about what the welfare state has done to destabilize the black family. During slavery, a black kid was more likely to be born under a roof with his biological mother and biological father than today. That's the problem. Let's deal with that."
Again, this is entirely what I said. When I got home from the studio, I saw this headline, atop my picture, in Media Matters: "Fox & Friends guest: Black families were better off as slaves."
Words fail.

Bone Tomahawk (Blu-ray)
Posted in: Disc Reviews by J C on December 31st, 2015
"We're in hell."
The Blu-ray cover for Bone Tomahawk features a grizzled Kurt Russell donning a cowboy hat. That image immediately indicated to me that I would be in steady, exceedingly capable hands for the forthcoming Western adventure. What I didn't necessarily expect was for Bone Tomahawk to also deliver one of the more frightening, engrossing, and pulse-pounding movie-watching experiences of the year.
The film's cold open actually takes place in the blazing sun and sets the tone for the brutality that will eventually follow. Two marauders (Sid Haig and David Arquette) in the 1890s are finishing up their latest assault, which includes some graphic throat-cutting. Unfortunately for them, they wander into some sort of bone-covered sacred burial ground…and only one of them makes it out alive. The spooked survivor makes his way to the town of Bright Hope. The citizens there include Arthur O'Dwyer (Patrick Wilson), an ailing cowboy with a busted leg being tended to by resourceful, no-nonsense wife Samantha (Lili Simmons). There's also John Brooder (Matthew Fox), the suave local womanizer who is also a trigger-happy gunfighter.
Sheriff Franklin Hunt (Russell) and his bumbling "backup deputy" Chicory (Richard Jenkins) eventually confront the surviving marauder, resulting in an injury that requires the town doctor. Samantha steps in for the drunk doctor at just about the same time the mysterious attackers from the burial ground descend on Bright Hope. Their visit results in a dead body, along with Samantha and a few others vanishing from town. The remaining citizens learn that the likely culprits were a group of inbred, cannibalistic Indians dubbed "troglodytes." Sheriff Hunt organizes a rescue party to find the missing citizens. He is accompanied by Chicory, Mr. Brooder, and the hobbled Arthur.
"This is why frontier life is so difficult. Not because of the Indians or the elements…but because of the idiots."
Even though the big, bold headlines related to Bone Tomahawk center around the terms "cannibal Western horror" — and I promise we'll get to that stuff soon enough — a surprisingly large chunk of the movie is spent on developing these characters, particularly the flawed foursome as they embark on what seems to be a suicide mission. (For all they know, Samantha and the others are already dead.) To be fair, some people will undoubtedly feel a little too much of the film's 132-minute running time is devoted to these quieter scenes. But I found these character beats — Arthur wrestles with guilt over Samantha's predicament; Sheriff Hunt is subtly protective of the older Chicory at nearly every turn; there's a reason Mr. Brooder keeps count of how many Indians he's killed — totally refreshing, especially in a genre where the people on screen are usually little more than dead meat.
Then again, the leisurely pace and well-drawn characters probably shouldn't be a surprise considering Bone Tomahawk is the feature directorial debut of author S. Craig Zahler, who has written well-regarded Western novels with badass titles like "A Congregation of Jackals" and "Mean Business on North Ganson Street." The result is some snappy, tough-guy dialogue — "You've been squirtin' lemon juice in my eye since I came in here" — but Zahler also distinguishes himself as a visual director.
Zahler, who has a couple of cinematography credits to his name prior to Bone Tomahawk, stages many of the heart-stopping troglodyte attacks as if the baddies are popping out of some dark crevice in a haunted house. It's an especially disconcerting effect when you consider most of these attacks are taking place on a wide-open landscape. The action doesn't properly kick in until the latter half of the film, but it includes at least one of the more unsettling kills in recent memory. (Trust me…you'll know it when you see it.)
The impact is intensified by the fact that Zahler and his cast have made us invest in these characters. Russell has been the picture of unflappable cool since 1981's Escape From New York, so he proves to be an excellent choice to lead this hunting party/cast. He doesn't have the showiest role here, but he does have the authority to believably play a guy you would follow into near-certain death. Wilson has to limp around in agonizing pain the entire time, but he also nicely underplays the romantic aspects of his mission. It helps that Simmons makes the self-sufficient Samantha someone worth saving. However, the movie is basically stolen by Fox (great as the vain, condescending straight-shooter) and Jenkins (who has the best one-liners and gives a doddering, endearingly childlike performance as old-man Chicory.)
Bone Tomahawk is more Western than straight-up horror flick. But given that some of the higher-profile releases in the latter genre (tired found-footage flicks, underwhelming sequels or remakes of classic horror films) tend to come and go with a whimper, Bone Tomahawk serves as a brutal, invigorating shot in the forehead arm.
Bone Tomahawk is presented in an aspect ratio of 2.40:1. The 1080p image is arrived at with an AVC MPEG-4 codec at an average of 23 mbps. The aspect ratio here serves the panoramic, frontier landscape very well. Like most Westerns, this one features a high-contrast, slightly washed out image that makes the dry, desolate scenery seem even more unforgiving. The warm candle/lantern-lit interior scenes feature fine detail, though it's not as crisp as their outdoor counterparts. Black levels are inky and feature plenty of shadow definition, which is especially crucial during the action in the troglodyte caves. Despite the project's budgetary limitations, this disc offers an impressive, transportive visual presentation.
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is, in my opinion, even more effective than the visual qualities on this release. The obvious standout is the inhuman shrieks the troglodytes make, which chillingly rings out throughout the entire sound field. However, there are also subtler pleasures here, like the way gunshots originate in the front speakers and ring out through the rears, which mirrors the way that same sound echoes throughout the flatlands. Zahler also expertly utilizes silence to create dread…and to let the bursts of horror occurring on screen speak for themselves. This is also an immersive presentation that offers subtle, tension-building atmospheric noises during the rescue party's extended journey. (The group is always on high alert for approaching marauders and troglodytes.) Dialogue is also totally clean in this track.
The Making of Bone Tomahawk: (10:04) The cast has plenty of praise for Zahler's authentic, elegant writing, and the actors show their gratitude for the fact that they get to play fully-formed characters. Zahler talks about the challenges of handling his feature film debut and how this was truly an indie production.
Deleted Scene: (2:30) This scene — featuring Arthur, Samantha, and Chicory — is nicely-played, but its dreamlike quality doesn't fit in with the rest of the story. I can see why it was cut.
Fantastic Fest Q&A with the Director and Cast: (34:40) Zahler, Wilson, Fox, Jenkins and a pair of producers answer questions following a screening of Bone Tomahawk. (Zahler offers a brief introduction before the start of the film.) The group covers the 21-day shoot, Zahler reveals he didn't set out to make a horror film, and the actors mostly seem giddy and disbelieving about the fact that they got to star in a Western. This is the best bonus feature on the disc and definitely worth a watch.
As much as I enjoyed Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, it's not even the best Kurt Russell Western I've seen in the past week. Bone Tomahawk is a leaner, more gruesome, genre-blending delight. Zahler has made a classical Western story with a grisly twist. I don't get the sense that he set out to make a movie that was destined to become a cult favorite…but that's precisely what he's done anyway.

Focusing on What Really Matters in Cybersecurity
The conversation around cybersecurity is incredibly crowded right now. As a result of all that noise, there is a troubling lack of consensus about how to protect small businesses and major companies alike.
Companies are responding to new types of attacks that target different types of data and applications. The attacks stir them to seek out new security solutions, new vendors, and new strategies on a regular basis. If that weren't difficult enough, they also are trying to keep cybersecurity costs in check.
This is a challenge for just one organization, but now that mergers and acquisitions are heating up, companies must explore how to combine the cybersecurity of two companies without creating gaps or redundancies.
What all this noise means is that a number of stakeholders are invested in cybersecurity but their priorities could be in conflict. It is essential to respect all of their concerns, or else cybersecurity will never be effective. For the same reason, companies must cut through the noise and find a single voice to lead their efforts.
Focusing on the Weakest Link
Considering how complex the current cybersecurity landscape is, it seems impossible to protect against every single threat. The cost and complexity are prohibitive, and extra investment doesn't necessarily translate to stronger security. The better strategy is to focus on resources that strengthen the weakest link in most organizations: the email inbox.
Email is used all day, every day. The average email inbox is filled with sensitive information. Most users don't realize that email is not delivered directly from the sender to the receiver. It actually makes, on average, 22 stops along the way; at each of those stops, the message is vulnerable to theft or corruption.
Another critical issue facing companies large and small is that email is a minefield. Targeted by malware, ransomware, phishing, business email compromise, and other email attacks, all these hackers have to do is trick one user into clicking on a malicious link, opening a malicious attachment, or believing the email is from a valid sender in order for the attack to be successful.
Email is the number one attack vector. This fact can get lost in the noise, but it's something companies must understand loud and clear moving forward.
Protecting the Inbox From All Angles
Deciding to focus on the inbox is just the first step. The next step is to select the right security tools, and once every stakeholder gets involved, that conversation can get very noisy, too. Companies must prioritize a certain set of tools and then ensure those tools have the features and capabilities that are needed to keep email secure and business flowing. We recommend a three-pronged approach:
1. Encryption That Is Intuitive and Customizable: Email encryption ensures that sensitive information is accessible only to authorized parties. Unfortunately, many of the encryption solutions on the market are confusing and cumbersome to use. Worse, they can't be customized to fit business and end-user needs. Encryption is important, but an easy-to-use solution is critical to making security work for you rather than against you.
2. Filtering That Knows Good From Bad: Email filtering is a standard tool for keeping out malicious emails. Unfortunately, when those filters rely on static threat definitions, they often mistakenly block good emails while missing new threats that haven't been defined yet. Comprehensive filtering must rely on multiple layers that are regularly updated on the basis of the latest threat intelligence. Plus, it should apply those filters to both incoming and outgoing emails so that companies don't unwittingly become a vehicle for an attack.
3. Archiving That Understands All Communications: Archiving emails is a standard part of regulatory compliance. But all kinds of different digital communications — texts, social media posts, video conferences, etc. — now fall under the regulatory umbrella yet don't get captured by average archiving tools. In order to avoid fines while also making compliance management easier, companies should look for solutions that archive any communication automatically.
Cutting through the noise doesn't mean shutting people out of the conversation. Rather, it means letting some voices rise above the rest. Everyone may have something to contribute, but cybersecurity is not about consensus. It's about providing the highest level of security with the greatest degree of certainty.
To learn more about top cybersecurity trends and Zix's leading solutions for email encryption, email threat protection, and archiving, register for our recent webinar "Mind the Gap: Stacking Up Your Email Security Strategy."

As eco-friendly painters and decorators, we try to do our best for the environment here at DDS, which is why we find it so important that companies we work with are known for being eco-friendly too. Dulux have a can recycling scheme, which involves recycling used and empty paint cans into various other plastic or metal objects. We are in the process of beginning our role in the scheme, but meanwhile we have been donating leftover paint to Hugh Baird college. We are interested in reducing our waste and becoming more environmentally friendly however we can.
Through the scheme with Dulux we've found a great opportunity for painters and decorators nationwide, as it gives us the chance to look after how we treat the environment when we're finished with the paint we use. Dulux have been recycling cans from a variety of paint types as well as collecting cans straight from site if they're already making a delivery to you, which is especially helpful of you're a busy company like we frequently find we are. We've found using the can collection scheme so useful, as it ensures that our waste is being handled is an efficient way. This way we can be certain that there is less waste going to landfills.
With both our collaboration with Hugh Baird college and our participation in the Dulux scheme we have begun to take an active role in monitoring our company's environmental impact. It's important that businesses like ours pay attention to now we contribute to waste collection, as we can start to make a big difference to the environment with simple changes. Seeing as it is so easy to sign up to the scheme, there's no reason not to.
Here at DDS we try to make a difference however we can through the work that we undertake in the local area – both environmentally and through our community. There are a lot of ways that you can try to be more environmentally friendly in this day and age, which is especially important for companies like ours who have an impact on not only themselves, but other businesses that they collaborate with. With this in mind, we always try to make sure that we are doing all we can to help the environment – with this new Dulux scheme being our next step in providing a safer and cleaner environment to work in. We're incredibly proud to beginning working with this scheme, and would encourage anyone who works with us to do the same.
If you're interested in learning more about how the Dulux can recycling scheme works, or want to hear more about how we prioritise being eco-friendly painters and decorators in Liverpool, then you can get in touch with a member of our team through our website or by calling 0151 550 0112.


As the ultimate sniper at Friv online 2018, you will have a number of assignments to undertake. Will you be able to accomplish all of those tasks? In order to win a tactical shooting game like this, the players need to recognize all of the targets and shoot them with precision. Most of the tasks will be to shoot down a certain target or some enemies.
Your mark is calculated based on the accuracy and precision of your shot, so it's very important that you aim carefully and do your best. Remember that any shot outside the kill zone will count as a miss, which results in a lower score. For a perfect headshot, you will have 100% accuracy, while it's just 50% for a body shot. Don't worry if you haven't gotten used to the game. You can try out the easy mode first to learn all the basic skills and rules.
After you master it, challenge yourself with a hard mode to gain some extra scores as a bonus. The higher the risk, the higher the return. Another cool feature is that you can utilize the telescope to scout the area and the map at http://www.friv.land. This will make it easier to spot the enemies.

Ohio City Jumps the Gun with Speed Camera Tickets
Heath, Ohio forced to refund $26,500 in speed camera tickets because Redflex mailed tickets before the program start date.
Heath, Ohio was so anxious to start collecting on its new speed camera program that it issued $26,500 worth of tickets before the program was officially supposed to begin. The city's mayor, Richard J. Waugh, issued a statement Monday confirming that refunds would be automatic for each of the 265 vehicle owners mailed a ticket for alleged violations that took place on June 30. Redflex Traffic Systems, the Australian company that actually runs the program, was not supposed to have begun issuing tickets until July 1.
Taking a 20 to 30 percent cut of each photo citation, Redflex had an incentive to get the system up and running swiftly. Armed with eight combination red light and speed cameras devices plus two photo radar units, Redflex had racked up 8,483 tickets worth $848,300 by July 21. By now the total has surpassed the level of one ticket for each of the city's 8800 residents. While some would suggest that ticket writing at such a rate might upset residents, Mayor Waugh insisted that the cameras enjoy overwhelming public support.
"By a margin of more than two to one, 56 percent of respondents strongly agreed/agreed vs. 23 percent who strongly disagreed/disagreed," Waugh wrote on the city website, citing a survey conducted in 2008.
Local activists do not buy that for a second. The Heath chapter of We Demand a Vote has already gathered a sufficient numbers of signatures to force a referendum on Waugh's program this November. Petition organizer Becky Goodwin says the success of the petition is evidence of the unpopularity of the automated ticketing machines.
"We had no trouble getting the signatures," Goodwin told TheNewspaper. "We only spent two weeks collecting names."
Goodwin said Heath had set up traps with the most productive camera placed in such a way as to snare out-of-town visitors as they enter the city on route 79. The camera is difficult to see on a curve where the speed limit suddenly drops from 50 MPH to 35. She believes this has already had a negative impact on the city.
"Many businesses are seeing fewer customers in their stores and less traffic on 79 due to the cameras," Goodwin said. "Customers have called and told businesses they will not be back unless the cameras come down. We believe the voters will come out and support the issue to ban the cameras."
No photo enforcement program has ever survived a public vote.


(The Guardian): Many of the Ethiopians killed in the crash were also economic migrants, but in the reverse direction – young women who left homes and families to travel to Lebanon to work as domestic helpers in the homes of wealthy Lebanese.
Many are treated as little more than slaves, human rights activists claim. In many cases servants go unpaid, are confined indoors and made to work long hours seven days a week. Some are beaten and even sometimes raped.
"Why do you Lebanese never treat us good?" screamed one Ethiopian woman as security forces prevented her from entering the governmental hospital in Beirut today to identify a body. "We are human beings like you. God created us. Why don't I have the right to come in and see my sister?"
"She had worked for two years and her family had not paid her salary once," said one of Warkey's friends, who asked not to be named. "She even had to buy her own clothes. So she ran away and I took her in. But she said she missed her parents so much and had to go home. She was only 20.
"We went to the embassy and they did not help. Because she had run away and did not have any papers, she ended up being arrested and put in prison," she said, her dark brown eyes welling up with tears.
"They let her out of prison on Saturday and drove her to the airport, so she could take that flight."

Q: elasticsearch: What is the best way for partial updates? I've got a mapping like this:
{
  "properties":{
    "staticField1": ...
    "staticField2": ...
    ...
    "staticFieldN": ...
    "currentNumbers": {
      "properties": {
        "highFrequencyUpdateField1": ...
        "highFrequencyUpdateField2": ...
        "highFrequencyUpdateField3": ...
      }
    }
  }
}

So there are many staticFields, which are updated almost never, but some fields in the currentNumbers node, which must be updated every few minutes.
I currently POST a partial update with only the currentNumbers node, but since everything is in one large document here, this will internally reindex the complete document of course.
What I want to achieve is some way of

*

*replacing only the currentNumbers node without elasticsearch needing to reindex all staticFields.

*and being able to query documents by a combination of highFrequencyUpdateFields and staticFields (so I cannot treat them as completely seperate entities)

From what I've read in the docs, I get the following two options:

*

*the "nested" datatype

*parent/child docs

Regarding parent-child relationships: That seems to come with worse query performance, which I don't want to sacrifice here.
What I couldn't find in the docs: Does nested help me here in regard to indexing performance, i.e. does it not reindex the entire document if I post a partial update with only the currentNumbers node?
I think this is probably a frequent usecase for elasticsearch, so I hope there maybe are better ideas on how to structure the mapping ;).

'Thin Blue Line' celebrating law enforcement
Democrat staff writer
On Sunday, the congregation of North Florida Baptist Church will bring back its celebration of area law enforcement and is encouraging the public to attend the 10 a.m. service.
Senior pastor of the church, Randy Ray, said he revived the event because he felt it was time for law enforcement officers, who are expected to pack the sermon, to know how much they are supported.
"We're overdue," Ray said. "You can't do this kind of thing enough."
Lately, public perception of law enforcement has taken a hit nationally, but isolated incidents don't define an entire profession.
"Law enforcement is a necessary work, it's a noble work and all out sacrificial," Ray added. "It's not a job it's a calling or them."
Leaders from agencies in the area, including Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo, Gadsden County Sheriff Morris Young and Wakulla County Charlie Creel, former Leon County Sheriff Eddie Boone and current LCSO Sheriff Mike Wood are expected to attend as well as deputies and officers from each agency.
Ray hopes his congregation's welcome will serve as a positive moment.
"People in law enforcement need encouragement," he said. "When they get out of their car all eyes are on them, and they need to feel like those people are for them and not suspicious of them."
North Florida Baptist Church is located at 3000 North Meridian Road.

Patricia Mayr-Achleitner (Rum, 8 november 1986) is een tennisspeelster uit Oostenrijk. Ze kwam in februari 2009 voor het eerst in haar carrière de top 100 van de WTA-wereldranglijst binnen, waar ze in 2008 nog als nummer 363 van de wereld aan haar seizoen begon.

Mayr is een dochter van Johann en Margarethe Mayr. Het gezin bestaat verder uit zus Pamela en broer Patrik.
Patricia Mayr huwde op 4 december 2010 haar trainer Michael Achleitner. Ze speelt sindsdien onder de naam Patricia Mayr-Achleitner.

Loopbaan

Enkelspel
Mayr debuteerde in 2003 op het ITF-toernooi van Benin City (Nigerië). Zij stond in 2005 voor het eerst in een finale, op het ITF-toernooi van Volos (Griekenland) – hier veroverde zij haar eerste titel, door de Bulgaarse Dia Evtimova te verslaan. In totaal won zij zeventien ITF-titels, de meest recente in 2014 in Winnipeg (Canada).

In 2008 speelde Mayr voor het eerst op een WTA-hoofdtoernooi, op het toernooi van Bad Gastein. Zij bereikte er de kwartfinale.

Zij stond in 2005 voor het eerst in een finale, op het ITF-toernooi van Benicarló (Spanje), samen met de Zweedse Sofia Brun – hier veroverde zij haar eerste titel, door het Spaanse duo Elena Caldes Marques en Mariona Gallifa te verslaan.

Q: Can I make my data extraction program(oracle database to excel) more effiicient? I am currently extracting data from a database to an excel using apache.poi. I just wanted to see if it was possible to speed up the extraction process. I have a selection value in my JSP that calls for 3500 rows of data to be extracted and this is the only case that extremely slows up execution. I am creating two separate excel files from the extraction.
The first class is the simple data extraction:
    private void createSiteFieldExcel(String workSheetName, List<String> columnHeader, List<MasterDataDto> masterDatatDtoList) {
    XSSFSheet sheet = masterDataWorkbook.createSheet(workSheetName);
    int cellNumber = 0;
    int rowNumber = 0;
    Row headerRow = sheet.createRow(rowNumber++);
    sheet.createFreezePane(0, 1);
    List<MasterDataDto> dataConsistencyList = new ArrayList<MasterDataDto>();
    for (Iterator<String> iterator = columnHeader.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
        Cell cell = headerRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue(iterator.next());
        // sets the header to be bold
        cell.setCellStyle(masterDataBoldStyle);
    }
    for (MasterDataDto masterDatatDto : masterDatatDtoList) {
        Row dataRow = sheet.createRow(rowNumber++);
        cellNumber = 0;

        Cell cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue(masterDatatDto.getDivision());

        cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue(masterDatatDto.getProject());

        cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue(masterDatatDto.getSiteName());

        if (columnHeader.size() == 4) {
            cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
            cell.setCellValue(masterDatatDto.getField1());
            if (masterDatatDto.getField1() == null || masterDatatDto.getField1().trim().equals("")) {
                dataConsistencyList.add(masterDatatDto);
            }
        } else if (columnHeader.size() == 5) {
            cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
            cell.setCellValue(masterDatatDto.getField1());

            cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
            cell.setCellValue(masterDatatDto.getField2());

            if (masterDatatDto.getField2() == null || masterDatatDto.getField2().trim().equals("")) {
                dataConsistencyList.add(masterDatatDto);
            }

        }
        // Auto sizes column width
        for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
            sheet.autoSizeColumn(i);
    }
    createConsistencyCheckFile(dataConsistencyList, columnHeader);
    // Auto sizes column width for data consistency excel
    for (int i = 0; i <= 9 ; i++)
        dataConsistencyWorksheet.autoSizeColumn(i);
        dataConsistencyWorksheet.createFreezePane(0, 1);

}

The second class is to check for data consistency(shows that there is no blank data in the database)
    private void createConsistencyCheckFile(List<MasterDataDto> dataConsistencyList, List<String> columnHeaders) {
    Cell cell = null;
    Row dataRow = null;
    int cellNumber = 0;
    dataRow = dataConsistencyWorksheet.createRow(dataConsistencyWorksheetRowNumber++);

    cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
    cell.setCellValue(dataConsistencyWorksheetRowNumber - 1);

    cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
    cell.setCellValue("SUMMARY");

    cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
    cell.setCellValue(columnHeaders.size() - 1);

    cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
    cell.setCellValue(dataConsistencyList.size());

    for (String columnHeader : columnHeaders) {
        cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue(columnHeader);
    }

    for (MasterDataDto masterDatatDto : dataConsistencyList) {

        cellNumber = 0;
        dataRow = dataConsistencyWorksheet.createRow(dataConsistencyWorksheetRowNumber++);

        cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue(dataConsistencyWorksheetRowNumber - 1);

        cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue("DETAIL");

        cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue(columnHeaders.size() - 1);

        cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue("N/A");

        cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue(masterDatatDto.getDivision());

        cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue(masterDatatDto.getProject());

        cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
        cell.setCellValue(masterDatatDto.getSiteName());

        if (columnHeaders.size() == 4) {
            cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
            cell.setCellValue("???");
        } else if (columnHeaders.size() == 5) {
            cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
            cell.setCellValue(masterDatatDto.getField1());

            cell = dataRow.createCell(cellNumber++);
            cell.setCellValue("???");
        }

    }

}

Originally I just had the first class and while it take take time to run it did finish. Since I have added the data consistency class portion, it times out after the first sheet that is created.
I have originally used Apache POI because when I used JXL, it does not allow me to insert more than 65,500 records(rows) on one sheet. I have alot to extract. Please let me know if I need to provide more of my program to give a clearer understanding of my issue. I truly appreciate your help in advance
I have another question that I would like to add to this. I am thinking about extracting database data into a CSV file and then take the CSV file and import it to an Excel. One question I have is since I originally was extracting to multiple sheets in a work book, is there a way I can export to multiple CSV files? Then from the multiple CSV files, how can I add them to different sheets in a work book?
Thanks again

Hello Doug
Here is my query code:
    public List<MasterDataDto> getDFMasterData(int siteValueId, int firstColumnId, int secondColumnId, int divisionId) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
    List<MasterDataDto> masterDatatDtoList = new ArrayList<MasterDataDto>();
    Connection con = null;
    PreparedStatement ps = null;
    ResultSet rs = null;

        query.append(" From Addtl_Type_Rel Attr, Addtl_Type_Rel Attchd, Addtl_Type_Rel Attgrch, Addtl_Type  Atprt, Project Pr, Addtl_Type Atchd, Addtl_Type, Division_Type Dt");
        query.append(" Where Pr.Id = Attr.Parent_N_Value");
        query.append(" And Attr.Id = Attchd.Previous_Rel_Id");
        query.append(" And Pr.Division_Type = Dt.Id");
        query.append(" And Atchd.Id = Attgrch.Child_N_Value");

        }
        query.append(" Order By Project, Site_Name, col1, col2");

        con = getConnection();
        ps = con.prepareStatement(query.toString());
        ps.setInt(1, MasterDataConstants.PROJECT);

        ps.setInt(3, firstColumnId);
        ps.setInt(4, secondColumnId);
        ps.setInt(5, divisionId);
        if (siteValueId != 0) {
            ps.setInt(6, siteValueId);
        }
        rs = ps.executeQuery();
        while (rs.next()) {
            MasterDataDto masterDataDto = new MasterDataDto();
            masterDataDto.setDivision(rs.getString("Division"));
            masterDataDto.setProject(rs.getString("Project"));
            masterDataDto.setSiteName(rs.getString("Site_Name"));
            masterDataDto.setField1(rs.getString("col1"));
            masterDataDto.setField2(rs.getString("col2"));
            System.out.println(masterDataDto.getDivision() + "\t" + masterDataDto.getProject() + "\t" + masterDataDto.getSiteName() + "\t" + masterDataDto.getField1() + "\t"
                    + masterDataDto.getField2());
            masterDatatDtoList.add(masterDataDto);
        }
    } finally {

        cleanUp(con, ps, rs);
    }
    return masterDatatDtoList;

How could I make this more efficient?
Thanks

A: You might use a JDBC driver for Excel, maybe a JDBC ODBC bridge, requiring some Windows fuss.
That would be optimal, as you would need to walk the DB query and could immediately write it to the Excel "database".
http://www.coderanch.com/t/465901/JDBC/databases/insert-data-excel-file-java
Failing that, do no use a list of DTOs but immediately add every rs.next / DTO to the Excel sheet.


After high school in Moscow, Idaho, "I left as soon as I could," says Maggie Minnich, who moved to Eugene in 2007 to enroll in pre-journalism at the UO. During that school year, she also worked on the Assault Prevention Show at the ASUO Women's Center. "I met a lot of people who were passionate about prevention of sexual violence," she says. As she had already planned to take a year off from school to work and to establish residency in Oregon, Minnich applied for a position at Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS) through the state's AmeriCorps HOPE (Healthy Options through Prevention and Education) program. "I do youth prevention education," she says. "Teachers call us to give presentations in middle schools and high schools. I love talking with people, especially youth." Minnich helped coordinate last month's Take Back the Night rally and march, and she has developed a curriculum for a proposed teen volunteer program at SASS. When her Americorps contract ends in July, she plans to apply to the UO's degree program in Family and Human Services. "After this year at SASS, I've become more interested in social services," she says. "I'd like to work with youth in the sexual-health field."

NBA LIVE On TNT: Denver Nuggets v Stephen Curry
By Ben Rummage | Staff Writer On April 30, 2013 No Comments
DENVER (Sporting Alert) — The Denver Nuggets face elimination from the NBA playoff when they take on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in tonight's Game 5 Western Conference First Round series at Pepsi Center in Colorado.
When: 8:00 PM ET, Tuesday, April 30, 2013
Where: Pepsi Center, Denver, Colorado
TV Channel: TNT, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area (Golden State), Altitude (Denver)
Golden State leads the seven game series 3-1 following the exciting 115-101 victory at Oracle Arena in Game 4 and a win Tuesday night would see them progressing to the Second Round.
"When they come down and just hit 3s when you've just crossed halfcourt, you can't scheme around that. You can't stop that," Denver forward Kenneth Faried, who scored 15 points and seven rebounds said of the Warriors' shooting streak in the last outing.
"We just have to find a way to not let them do that."
He added though: "We do got them at home and I hope our crowd can get as loud as their crowd was. It was deafening.
"You really can't hear much and their crowd really gets behind them. I respect that. Our crowd really gets behind us when we get going. Hopefully we can feed off ours and show them a thing or two."
The Nuggets will be looking to Faried, Ty Lawson, Andre Iguodala and Andre Miller off the bench to help force a Game 6.

Battlin' Catlin
In 1834, George Catlin accompanied the first dragoon expedition, helmed by Generals Henry Dodge and Henry Leavenworth, from Kansas into the Red River Valley of Indian Territory. Their mission was to contact the tribes of the southern plains. Catlin, an attorney from Pennsylvania, had quit his career to travel with the military and document the native people of North America, doing so with his sketch book and paint brush. His paintings have helped preserved histories during a time of uncertainty for American native people - the end of the old life and the beginning of an uncertain future.
The Dodge-Leavenworth Expedition was besieged by problems. Dozens of men fell ill, and Leavenworth was fatally injured during a bison hunt. General Dodge and his men, however, did return with some success as they made contact with the last Taovayan village at Devil's Canyon in today's Kiowa County, Oklahoma.
The Taovayas were affiliated with the Wichita tribe of the Cross Timbers. For at least a century, their largest village was near today's Spanish Fort in Montague County, Texas. Their fortified settlement spanned the Red River into today's Jefferson County, Oklahoma along the southward bend of the river. However, by the late 1810s, the Taovayas had abandoned the village, possibly due to a small pox outbreak. The Wichitas have recorded this period of their history as "the dark time."
The tribe re-established their village further west along the river at the base of the Wichita Mountains, which George Catlin sketched during the expedition of 1834. Even more remarkable is that a German map, published in 1844, locates the village in its relative proximity, one of the only maps I've come across to do so. The village is noted as "Pahni Df.," or Pani Village.
This German map most likely referenced an Arrowsmith map from the early 1820s, which denoted the Taovayas and Wichitas as "Panis," a holdover from when French and Anglo Americans traders and chroniclers mistook the Wichitas for the Pawnees and labeled their villages "Pani" or "Panis."
As depicted by Catlin in 1834, the people in the village still maintained their traditional ways of building semi-permanent settlements of grass houses and drying racks for food preservation and hide tanning. By the 1860s, however, this last remnant of the old ways would be gone. The U.S. government, goaded by settlers, ranchers, and railroad companies who desired the prairie lands, forced the reservation system onto the Wichitas, Kiowas, Caddos, and Comanches of the Red River Valley.
This incredible map can be found at Stanford University, Barry Rudderman Collection; the sketch comes from a Smithsonian, where much of Catlin's artwork is now held.
Catlin depicted the first official meeting of the Comanches with the U.S. military in this watercolor. The location was at the base of the Wichita Mountains (Smithsonian).
This 1844 German map depicts the last Wichita village prior to the reservation age (Barry Ruderman).

Polaris Australis eller Sigma Octantis, σ-Octantis, som är stjärnans Bayer-beteckning, är den södra polstjärnan. Sigma Octantis ligger i stjärnbilden Oktanten (Octans) ca 0,7 grader från sydpolen. Stjärnan är av magnitud 5,47 och därmed svår att se för blotta ögat. Den norra polstjärnan är 25 gånger ljusstarkare. Sigma Octantis är på grund av sin klena ljusstyrka inget att navigera efter. Istället används Södra korset för att ta ut riktningen mot den södra himmelspolen. Baserat på parallaxmätningar inom Hipparcos-uppdraget på ca 11,6 beräknas den befinna sig på ett avstånd av ca 280 ljusårs (ca 86 parsek) avstånd från solen.

Nomenklatur
Som det södra halvklotets polstjärna har den namnet Polaris Australis, som först användes på 1700-talet. Internationella Astronomiska Unionen anordnade 2016 en arbetsgrupp för stjärnnamn (WGSN) med uppgift att katalogisera och standardisera riktiga namn för stjärnor. WGSN fastställde namnet Polaris Australis för Sigma Octantis i september 2017 och det ingår nu i listan över IAU-godkända stjärnnamn. Den är den sydligaste namngivna stjärnan.

Sigma Octantis är den svagaste stjärnan som representeras på en nationell flagga. Den visas på Brasiliens flagga, där den symboliserar det brasilianska federala distriktet.

Egenskaper
Sigma Octantis är en gulvit jättestjärna av spektralklass F0 III. Den har en massa som är ca 1,6 gånger solens massa, en radie som är ca 4 gånger större än solens och utsänder ca 38 gånger mera energi än solen från dess fotosfär vid en effektiv temperatur på ca 7 400 K.

Sigma Octantis är en Delta Scuti-variabel som varierar i magnitud med ca 0,03 enheter med en period av 2,33 timmar.

EmployeeReferrals.com has mined data from our long-term client companies to calculate the median employment duration for referral hires and non-referral hires. Our study encompasses over 50 companies and 91,000 employees. The results were encouraging, with 50 percent of referrals retaining their employment for at least 38 months compared to 22 months for non-referral hires, an improvement of 70 percent.
In other words, referral hires stay 70 percent longer than non-referral hires.
After determining overall employment duration we broke the data down by industry and company size. We found that small and medium sized companies experienced much better retention than enterprise level companies. In fact, employees stayed 122 percent longer at smaller companies. Our retention at enterprise clients is lower because they employ a large number of entry level retail workers in addition to a smaller number of highly skilled corporate and tech employees.
We found that companies with a focus on technology retained employees significantly longer. We believe this to be more of a reflection of the fact that nearly all their employees work corporate jobs.
That being said, it's interesting to see that Referral hires provided a bigger boost to retention in industries with high turnover. Referral hires at low turnover companies only stayed 51 percent longer while referral hires at the high turnover companies stayed 122 percent longer.
When a referral hire is made, these costs are incurred 41 percent less frequently in the future. It's not a stretch to say that referrals cost about half as much over the life of the hire.
After calculating the retention rate for referral and non-referral hires, we wondered what the retention looks like for employees who submit referrals. Does having a friend at the company prompt people to stay longer?
Referring employees stay about 20 percent longer than standard hires.
If the employment duration seems a little short to you, that's because we're calculating median employment duration, not the average, which is more commonly used. We'd like to take a moment to point out that while the median referral hire stays 38 months, the average duration of employment is much longer. Unfortunately, we can't compute average retention until the last of the employees has ended their employment. Realistically, it could take 30 years to get a complete picture of average employment duration, while our oldest clients have only used our software for about five years.
