Introducing The Core i3-7350K Intel did something interesting when it launched its Kaby Lake-based series of 7th generation Core i processors recently. Tucked away in the product line-up, alongside quad-core speedsters like the Core i7-7700K, was a new, relatively low-priced Core i3 processor, which also happened to be unlocked for more flexible overclocking. Most previous-gen Core i3 processors were multiplier locked, which limited overclocking to only BCLK adjustments. The Core i3-7350K is a dual-core processor, with support for Intel’s Hyper Threading technology, so it can process up to 4 threads simultaneously. As the “K” in the product name denotes, the 7350K has an unlocked multiplier, so it can be overclocked through both multiplier and BCLK mani[CENSORED]tion. We’ve already got the skinny on Kaby Lake and the Core i7-7700K published for you right here, but we thought you’d all be interested in seeing what the Core i3-7350K is capable of as well, not only in terms of stock performance, but when significantly overclocked. An affordable, Kaby Lake-based processor, with an unlocked multiplier, that can process up to 4 threads could make for an interesting enthusiast-class system for overclockers, that won’t break the bank. The chip’s full list of specifications are below. We’ll dig in a little deeper on the pages ahead… The Core i3-7350K’s packaging looks just like other 7th generation Core i-series processors, so there’s not much to discuss there. It uses Intel’s LGA1151 socket and is designed to work with the latest 200-series chipsets. Core i3-7350K -- Top And Bottom The Core i7-7350K has a base clock of 4.2GHz without Turbo, though with SpeedStep the chip will drop down to only a few hundred MHz when idle. It has a TDP of only 60W, which is a full 31W lower than the Core i7-7700K. There is over 4MB of total cache on-board, 128K of L1 (64K per core), 512KB of L2 cache (256K per core), and 4MB of L3, which is a similar cache hierarchy to Skylake. Core i3-7350K CPU-Z Details Though Kaby Lake is considered a new microarchitecture, it borrows heavily from its predecessors. It is very similar to Skylake, but with an updated multimedia engine and new transistor mix, that allows for higher clocks and lower power consumption. Intel’s SpeedShift technology has also been tweaked to allow for even faster state changes. For more detail on the changes in Kaby Lake, we suggest taking a look at our launch coverage here; we won't bore you with those details again. We are going to slap a nice water-cooler on the chip though and see how high we can overclock it. Before we do that, however, next up we’ll show you how the Core i3-7350K performs without any tweaking...

President Donald Trump's refusal to let sleeping dogs lie now threatens to harm his presidency. His revival of debunked claims that millions of illegal voters are to blame for him losing the po[CENSORED]r vote to Hillary Clinton -- in essence challenging the legitimacy of his election -- is overshadowing the otherwise fast start he has made in honoring campaign promises and changing America. Forced to defend the President's remarks to congressional leaders on Monday night, his spokesman Sean Spicer was unable to quell the controversy on Tuesday, citing "studies and evidence" -- then refused to discuss or produce any such material. "The President does believe that, I think he's stated that before, and stated his concern of voter fraud and people voting illegally during the campaign and continues to maintain that belief based on studies and evidence people have brought to him," Spicer said. The reappearance of a controversy the Trump camp had thought was in the past was another sign of one of the President's most dominant traits -- an inability to accept any suggestion that he was unable to pull off a complete and total victory in any area of his life. The self-ignited controversies in the first five days of his presidency -- including one about the size of his inaugural crowds -- also hints at a deeper and consuming need to be demonstrated as legitimate that has driven Trump for decades and has sometimes been an Achilles heel. As so often, the steps Trump takes to try to satisfy his craving for respect and to be seen as a spectacular victor threaten to make that recognition ever more elusive. In this case, his refusal to accept that he lost the po[CENSORED]r vote fair and square, despite winning the electoral college and the presidency, threatens to detract from another far more significant story -- his sweeping use of executive power to live up to campaign promises and begin to change America. He has moved to revive the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines, killed the Trans-Pacific Partnership and begun the process of taking apart Obamacare. Next week, Trump is expected to name a Supreme Court nominee, a potential legacy-making opportunity most presidents don't get in their first week in office. But the revived debate about voter fraud is a sign that the off-the-cuff controversies that Trump used to his political benefit during the campaign have the capacity to actually damage him as President because they undermine the trust that is a vital commodity for every commander in chief. A number of academic and governmental studies have found no evidence of voter fraud to back up what would be the most sensational story election in American history. Trump's deep desire for legitimacy is not some new character trait that has emerged from during his early days in power.

Gambia's new president Adama Barrow told CNN that he intends to go home "within a week" now that ousted long-term president Yahya Jammeh has finally left the country after a tense standoff. Barrow also said he will start announcing his cabinet later on Monday, beginning with his vice president. Responding to a question from CNN, Barrow said he could not confirm a claim by one of his aides that Gambia's treasury had been looted by outgoing president Jammeh. "This is the information I'm also getting, but we want to get to the bottom of it, we want to get the documents in my hand and we will elaborate on it, I have to be in contact with the Central Bank to confirm," Barrow said. A large contingent of West African forces from the regional grouping Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) are in Gambia to pave the way for the new government. On how long he intends to have the foreign forces in the country, Barrow said: "They will be there until we stabilize, for now we want them there until we feel we have that security to establish our government." Barrow also hinted at dismantling the Gambian army, loyal to Jammeh for so long: "We intend to have a reform of the army, so that we can give them more training to be more professional, and we need ECOWAS troops to coordinate this for us." Jammeh, who took power in a military coup in 1994, left the country on Saturday after stepping down as president following tense negotiations amid the prospect of West African military intervention. He arrived in Conakry, Guinea according to a Gambia Civil Aviation Authority official who did not want to be named. Jammeh suffered a surprise election defeat in December to Barrow, a property developer who won with more than 45% of the vote. Jammeh originally conceded the presidency but then announced his "total rejection of the election results." The UN Security Council backed an effort by regional states to remove him as president. ECOWAS troops were greeted by cheering, dancing crowds when they entered the Gambian capital, Banjul, on Sunday to provide security for the new president's arrival. Barrow was sworn in in Dakar, in neighboring Senegal, Thursday.

Each new year brings a slew of gimmicky fitness exercises that require strange pieces of kit and putting yourself in awkward, sometime embarrassing positions. But of all the fashionable moves with odd names that don’t contribute much to your actual fitness level – from sumo squats to wrist curls and tricep kickbacks – only a handful are usually any good at doing what they really ought to: that is, shake up your same-old, same-old gym routine. Here, then, are seven gym moves you probably haven’t ever considered (or, in some cases, even heard of), but which are definitely worth working in to your workout. The Deadmill The granddaddy of gym equipment, the treadmill is 200 years old this year – but, when it comes to burning fat and building cardio, it’s probably more efficient when it’s turned off. When the instructors aren’t looking, pull the plug, hop on and grab the handrail – then use your legs to drive the belt, pushing at full tilt for as long as you can. It’s like doing hill runs indoors or pushing a weighted sled, and gives similar hamstring-strengthening benefits. A note of caution: it may wear out the motor. Crawling Long before Animal Flow and Primal Play classes made méthode naturelle training fashionable again, crawling has had its fans. Scuttling about on all fours builds coordination and conditioning, but also hits your muscles from angles they’ll never experience using gym machines, making it perfect for dynamic warm-ups. Start with a bear crawl – hands and feet on the floor, hips high, moving forwards, then backwards and eventually in great loping bounds. When you’re ready to graduate, move to the crab crawl or alligator walk... or just copy what your eight-month-old’s doing. Rower rollouts The rowing machine is an ideal piece of kit for high-intensity interval training that strips away body fat. But when perfecting your stroke loses its appeal, get creative and use the sliding seat for an abs workout. Stand behind the rower and put your hands (or forearms) on the saddle, then push it forward, letting your body form a straight line. Aim to bring your hips high as you reverse the movement, keeping your core tight. Mix up sets of 500-metre rows with 12-15 repetitions: your abs should emerge shortly. Skin-the-Cats As a piece of kit, gymnastics rings are big right now: they add an element of instability to make press-ups and pull-ups more effective, you can put a set up almost anywhere, and increasing numbers of gyms have them. Skin-the-cats – in which you hang from the rings and slowly rotate the entire body up and over and back again – improve shoulder mobility but also increase straight-arm strength. For those who can manage them, they’re also an entry point to flashier moves. Start in a hang, then tuck your knees and bring them over your head, straightening your legs as you rotate and point your toes towards the ground. Feel the stretch in your shoulders as you settle into the bottom position, technically known as the German Hang, then reverse the whole movement, trying not to bend your arms. Await nods of approval from fellow gym-goers. The Human Flag Is there a gym move that cries out louder to be put on Instagram? Holding yourself parallel to the ground off a nearby pole is flashy, technically difficult and, almost as an afterthought, will chisel your obliques into #nofilter shape. It takes a mixture of strength and technique to master: crucially, you’re “pulling” with your top arm while you “push” with the lower one. Start by assuming the position by a pole, using your arms to bring your feet slightly off the ground, then graduate to the tucked-legs version, the straddle, and – finally – the full Y-shaped flag. Brachiation It’s the technical term for swinging from arm to arm – you know, like apes do – and if you’ve got any aspirations about finishing a Tough Mudder with dignity this year, it’s an essential skill. The dead hang, or just dangling from a bar, is entry-level stuff: you should be able to do this for at least 30 seconds, to build up shoulder strength and flexibility, before you graduate to a dynamic hang: in a dead hang, try a gentle side-to-side swinging motion, briefly letting go of the bar on either side to get a feel for one-armed swinging. Then it’s time to hit the monkey bars. Chalk will help. Cossack squats You’ll have heard that chairs are the enemy – Apple chief executive Tim Cook went as far to say that “sitting is the new cancer” – so what’s to be done? Simple: add this squat, which works on neglected hip, ankle and knee mobility, while also forcing your body to work in different movement planes from running or cycling. To make like a cossack, take a wide stance and sink down over one foot, keeping it flat on the ground while you stick out your other leg in a flat hold and point toes to the ceiling. Slide your weight over to the other side, and repeat. Too hard? Place your hands on the ground. Too easy? Add a dumbbell.

China will not allow its mammoth mobile online po[CENSORED]tion to play Pokemon Go or other augmented-reality games until it completes a review of potential security risks, a Chinese digital publishing group said. The roadblock was put up amid concerns that such games contain "rather big social risks" including potential threats to consumer and traffic safety, and the security of "geographic information", the China Audio-Video and Digital Publishing Association (CADPA) said this week. The industry group said in a statement that it was informed of the move by China's State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT). It said SAPPRFT was conducting a security review of such games in the meantime. "Before then, SAPPRFT will not accept requests to approve such games and has advised domestic game developers to be cautious when considering developing, introducing or operating such games," the publishing association said. Pokemon Go engages mobile users in a virtual chase for cartoon creatures appearing in their vicinity, as seen through their phone camera, but relies for many of its functions on Google Maps, which is blocked in China. Beijing keeps tight control over surveying, mapping and geographic information. China is a huge potential market for gamers, with 1.3 billion mobile users by the end of 2015. Some Chinese companies are already getting into the act, with tech giants Alibaba and Tencent recently introducing augmented-reality games with a theme linked to the Chinese lunar new year holidays beginning in late January. It was not immediately clear how the digital-publishing association's announcement would effect those games.

Every time we eat a meal, an inflammatory response is triggered in the body that activates the immune system, according to a new study which suggests that overweight people may lack this response causing them to develop diabetes. The study also explains why infectious diseases occur more frequently in times of famine. It is well known that type 2 diabetes (or adult-onset diabetes) leads to chronic inflammation with a range of negative impacts. A number of clinical studies have therefore treated diabetes by impeding the over-production of a substance involved in this process, Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta). In diabetes patients, this messenger substance triggers chronic inflammation and causes insulin-producing beta cells to die off, found researchers from the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland. In healthy individuals, short-term inflammatory responses play an important role in sugar uptake and the activation of the immune system. Researchers showed that the number of macrophages (a type of immune cell) around the intestines increases during meal times. These so-called “scavenger cells” produce the messenger substance IL-1beta in varying amounts, depending on the concentration of glucose in the blood. This, in turn, stimulates insulin production in pancreatic beta cells. The insulin then causes the macrophages to increase IL-1beta production. Insulin and IL-1beta work together to regulate blood sugar levels, while the messenger substance IL-1beta ensures that the immune system is supplied with glucose and thus remains active. According to the researchers, this mechanism of the metabolism and immune system is dependent on the bacteria and nutrients that are ingested during meals. With sufficient nutrients, the immune system is able to adequately combat foreign bacteria. Conversely, when there is a lack of nutrients, the few remaining calories must be conserved for important life functions at the expense of an immune response. This may go some way towards explaining why infectious diseases occur more frequently in times of famine. The study appears in the journal Nature Immunology.

Marches for women's rights in the United States and around the world amounted to a remarkable protest against Donald Trump on his first full day in office. The question going forward is whether the marches are simply a cathartic moment for people upset over Trump's election victory or a more enduring opposition movement. While the mood at the main march in Washington was mostly jovial, the day underscored some of the challenges facing the left in the aftermath of Trump's victory. It was not immediately clear what political impact the marches would have on the Trump administration or Republicans in Congress. Trump didn't address the march during remarks he delivered Saturday afternoon at CIA headquarters in Virginia. One central hurdle for protesters: their effort to draw attention to so many different political priorities. Even the signs they carried reflected the diversity of their agendas. Some were there advocating for Black Lives Matter movement while others aimed to bring attention to reproductive rights. Some focused on the fight for equal pay and their opposition to the rollback of former President Barack Obama's health care law. Many women in attendance also wore the now-famous T-shirts with hearts embracing Trump's phrase about Hillary Clinton: "Nasty Woman." Meanwhile, the Democratic mantra so prevalent in the final weeks of the campaign -- "when they go low, we go high" -- was largely absent. Actress Ashley Judd, for instance, read a poem that said Trump bathes in "Cheeto dust." Madonna delivered remarks laden with expletives. Dozens of older women held signs that said "I can't believe I still have to protest this s---." Many signs referenced to Trump's vulgar comments that emerged weeks before the election that reveal him bragging on a decade old tape about his ability to grab women by the genitals because of his fame. One protester held a sign that said "If you're going to grab my pussy, keep your hands off my healthcare." In interviews, marchers said they were hoping to maintain a positive vibe -- a respectful demonstration of democracy and expression of free speech. Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell said that some 7,500 people were coming from her home state of Michigan on 100 buses. Since the election, she said "People are showing up at any kind of activist meeting because they want to do something and they don't know what to do."

Still, the new Camry (refreshed in 2016) has greatly improved materials inside, a larger cabin, more user-friendly controls, better ride/handling and structure, AND the hybrid gets 28 mpg around town. Yes, fuel economy is this car’s strong point to me. The EPA says it should get 40-41 mpg in mixed driving. I saw 28 from the mpg gauge in the dash in straight-up city driving. According to our site, the Hybrid is actually quicker than a regular four-banger. So there’s that. It’s muy comfortable on the road. Nothing special in terms of handling, mind you, but the ride is smooth and quiet, and the handling DOES seem tighter than it used to -- it feels like it turns more sharply and seems to roll less. Toyota says its hybrid drivetrain is among the most sophisticated and refined systems available. I mostly agree. It’s true the transition from EV mode to the gasoline engine is smooth. Acceleration is decent, roughly halfway between the four-cylinder Camry and the V6 Toyota says. I say mostly because of the regen brakes. They’re too grabby, like an on-off switch. That’s been a common beef for me about Toyota hybrids. Our site also points out some rivals that match or best the Toyota: The Ford Fusion Hybrid gets incrementally better fuel economy and is a bit more responsive, while a Honda Accord Hybrid gets even better mileage. And let’s not forget Hyundai’s Sonata Hybrid, which is another decent-looking competitor, at about the same price. It takes a humble person to drive a beige Camry Hybrid, someone who wants to be environmentally responsible but not flashy like the green kids with their damn angular Priuses. No sir: The Camry Hybrid -- a nondescript midsize four-door sedan with nondescript Hybrid Synergy Drive badging -- flies under every automotive radar yet devised. Attractive but not a standout, with neither the best fuel economy nor the worst, moderately priced, moderately sized, this car truly is the middle of the road. That’s not a bad thing, mind you. Like all recent Toyota hybrids, the Camry delivers decent power whether supplied by electricity, gasoline or a blend of the two. The grabby brakes will surprise non-hybrid drivers, but they're easy enough to get used to. Even better, put the Camry in "B" mode and the regen is strong enough to let you drive with the throttle only. All the creature comforts needed by an average driver are present, and they go about their business with minimum fuss. There's not much else to tell: If you want the fuel economy of a hybrid (my average was close to 36 mpg in mixed driving) but you don't want to be pigeonholed as one of those hybrid drivers, you can stick it to both sides in a Camry Hybrid.

The Ministry of Defence says it has "absolute confidence" in the UK's nuclear weapons system despite reports of a malfunction during a test. The Sunday Times says an unarmed Trident missile fired from submarine HMS Vengeance near the Florida coast in June veered off course towards the US. The paper says the incident took place weeks before a crucial Commons vote on the future of Trident. The MoD did not give details of the test process but said it was a success. In July, MPs backed the renewal of Trident by 472 votes to 117, approving the manufacture of four replacement submarines at a current estimated cost of £31bn. According to the Sunday Times, it is expected that Defence Secretary Michael Fallon will be called to the Commons to answer questions from MPs. It says the cause of the failure remains top secret but quotes a senior naval source as saying the missile suffered an in-flight malfunction after launching out of the water. The Trident II D5 missile, adds the paper, was intended to be fired 5,600 miles (9,012 km) to a sea target off the west coast of Africa. 'Come clean' BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said while the MoD has described the test as a success for the crew and the boat, it has not denied the report that the missile itself might have veered off course. In the past the MoD has issued a press release and video of successful tests but its silence on this occasion has raised questions as to whether any fault was deliberately kept quiet ahead of the key vote, our correspondent added. Labour former defence minister Kevan Jones has demanded an inquiry into the claims, telling the Sunday Times: "The UK's independent nuclear deterrent is a vital cornerstone for the nation's defence. "Ministers should come clean if there are problems and there should be an urgent inquiry into what happened." Labour's official policy is to support renewing the Trident system, but leader Jeremy Corbyn - a longstanding opponent of nuclear weapons - wants to change the party's position and has launched a defence review to examine the issue. A statement issued by both Downing St and the MoD says: "The capability and effectiveness of the Trident missile, should we ever need to employ it, is unquestionable. "In June the Royal Navy conducted a routine unarmed Trident missile test launch from HMS Vengeance, as part of an operation which is designed to certify the submarine and its crew. "Vengeance and her crew were successfully tested and certified, allowing Vengeance to return into service. We have absolute confidence in our independent nuclear deterrent. "We do not provide further details on submarine operations for obvious national security reasons."

Microsoft launched a new consumer offensive Wednesday, unveiling a high-end computer that challenges the Apple iMac along with an updated Windows operating system that showcases three-dimensional content and "mixed reality." The US tech giant announced its first desktop computer, called Surface Studio, a $3,000 high-end "all-in-one" device that aims at creative professionals, a segment dominated by Apple. "We're creating a new category that transforms your desk into a creative studio," Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella said at the unveiling in New York. With a large, 28-inch (71-centimeter) hinged touchscreen display touted as "the thinnest desktop monitor ever created," Surface Studio adds to the Microsoft lineup of tablet and laptop devices for the premium segment. "It is a new class of device that transforms from a desktop PC into a powerful digital canvas, unlocking a more natural and immersive way to create on the thinnest display ever built," said Microsoft vice president Terry Myerson, The new PC has an ultra-HD 4.5K display, offering more pixels than most new high-definition televisions. It will be available in "limited quantities" for the upcoming holiday season, with more units available in 2017. The new device drew a mixed response from analysts. "Yes, this is very cool. But what's the market for a $3,000 computer you can draw on? How many people have that job?" asked Benedict Evans of the venture firm Andreessen Horowitz in a tweet. But Avi Greengart at the research firm Current Analysis said the new Microsoft products "are aimed at setting the high mark for the Windows ecosystem." Microsoft also announced an updated Surface Book—its high-end convertible tablet-computer—which will sell for $2,400, adding improved graphics and computing power and with an estimated 16 hours of battery life. "It's for the people really pushing performance," Microsoft vice president Panos Panay said. The Surface devices allow users to create content onscreen with a special pen-stylus, and Microsoft introduced a new disk device called Dial which attaches to the screen and offers additional controls such as viewing the timeline of a creation. New ways to create Microsoft meanwhile announced its Windows 10 Creators operating system would be offered as a free update in early 2017, enabling users to create 3D content and delve into virtual and augmented reality. The update offers "new ways to create and play," said Myerson. The update will allow for a 3D capture application for mobile devices and a new version of the po[CENSORED]r program Paint for 3D objects. The system will allow users to add three-dimensional emojis and to create and mani[CENSORED]te content they create or scan. Microsoft general manager Megan Saunders demonstrated how the capture application can scan a sand castle in three dimensions, and then mix that with other content. With the new Windows system, users will be able to experience virtual reality with Microsoft's HoloLens headgear and its Edge browser. Edge "will act as the portal to display 3D content on HoloLens," said Saunders. Microsoft said its hardware partners would be selling Windows-compatible virtual reality gear starting at about $300. Microsoft is aiming to keep users on Windows as many switch to new mobile devices powered by Apple or Google software. Analyst Patrick Moorhead at Moor Insights & Strategy said the move appears positive for Microsoft. "I like where Microsoft is going with Creators Update as it reflects PC differentiation and includes elements of what I believe consumers are interested in, albeit hard to execute upon," Moorhead said. The analyst added that "3D creation is difficult today and Microsoft is taking initial steps to bring it to the masses." With PC sales sputtering, Microsoft has been emphasizing its cloud computing and business services but is also working to stay relevant to consumers with Windows and its various computing and gaming devices. The new version of Windows will help users sift through email and other messages by creating "people" icons that show messages from important connections.

When Google set out to develop and market its first Phone by Google branded device - not co-branded with a partner - and spiritual successors to its legacy Nexus brand, the company drew a line in the sand. Not only was the target to develop smartphones that demonstrated best of breed functionality and performance for the Android platform, but these devices would have features and capabilities not found in other Android devices on the market. To date, very few other smartphones, save for the LG V20 for example, are running Android 7 Nougat and there are only a handful of phones on the market currently that support Google’s Daydream VR headset technology. Google Daydream VR is a compelling answer to smartphone VR solutions like Samsung Gear VR, but what’s really interesting to many consumers is how Google’s latest flagship handset compares experientially versus other hot-selling Android devices, like Samsung’s Galaxy S7 series. As a perennial Samsung Galaxy S series user, I decided it was high time, beyond just the sterile confines of a product review, to live with Google’s latest Android purist device for an extended period of time. I’ve spent quality time with Nexus devices in the past, but the Google Pixel XL, with its 5.5-inch AMOLED display, felt like a possible successor as a daily driver for me. So, here are my high level take-aways of a Galaxy S7 Edge to Pixel XL migration, from hardware to software, and creature comforts. Pixel XL vs Galaxy S7 Edge – The Display Goes To Samsung I’m going to get this one out of the way early. If your primary focus is on the display in a handset, there is just no comparison to Samsung’s Super AMOLED displays currently, especially the curved glass of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Google’s Pixel XL AMOLED display does a reasonably good job of reproducing the saturation, contrast and pop of the Galaxy S7 Edge, but it’s not quite as bright, nor does it have quite the viewing angle capability. Power Efficiency And Battery - A Landslide Win For The Pixel XL Here’s where the always-on benchmark numbers, versus real world anecdotal use case, vary greatly. The Galaxy S7 Edge has a larger 3600 mAh battery versus the Pixel XL’s 3450 mAh power plant, but that doesn’t always equate to longer mixed-usage uptime; at least with the current setup of Android 6 Marshmallow on an AT&T GS7 Edge, versus the Pixel XL with Nougat and the same carrier. Android 7 Nougat’s advanced Doze capabilities make an appreciable difference in mainstream usage battery life. If you’re not the type to be on your phone constantly, the Pixel XL offers a significant battery life advantage versus the Galaxy S7 Edge. This could change as Samsung rolls out Android 7 to its Galaxy line, but it’s up to carriers to push via OTA updates as well – which of course AT&T is late to the party with, as usual it seems.

Welcome To CSBD! Enjoy your time Have fun

Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States on Friday, vowing to drain power from Washington elites and always put "America first" in its dealings with the world at a moment of transformative political change. He arrived at the White House for the first time as President just before 5 p.m. ET following a day of tradition marking the power shift in the nation's capital. In a time-honored ceremony on the flag-draped West Front of the Capitol earlier in the afternoon, Trump placed his left hand on a family Bible and another that belonged to Abraham Lincoln and promised to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. As light rain began to fall on a crowd stretching toward the Washington Monument, Trump took the oath of office from Chief Justice John Roberts with the new first lady, Melania, by his side. President Trump signs first bill into law Trump's inaugural address centered on the themes that animated his stunning outsider campaign, which shattered political conventions and gave voice to heartland voters who felt badly let down by professional politicians. Though he paid tribute to outgoing President Barack Obama, the President sketched a vision of America that came across as a repudiation of the last administration. He promised to restore the nation's strength and purpose and to rebuild it from within, vowing to "bring back" American jobs, borders, wealth and dreams. Trump: 'You will never be ignored again' Trump talked of a nation of mothers and children trapped in poverty in the inner cities and "rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones," and warned crime and gangs had robbed the nation of much of its potential. Trump's full speech "This American carnage stops right here and stops right now," Trump said, with Obama looking on. "A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights and heal our divisions," Trump said, emphasizing that whether people are black or white they still bleed the same red blood of patriots. And he told Americans listening to the address: "You will never be ignored again." Former Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter attended the ceremony. Hillary Clinton, whom Trump defeated in the November election, was in the audience in a show of support for national unity and the peaceful transfer of presidential authority. But, contrary to some expectations, Trump made no gesture of reconciliation toward Clinton or her supporters following the deeply divisive campaign in which he won the Electoral College but lost the po[CENSORED]r vote. He later recognized her during a congressional lunch, when she received a standing ovation. "I was very honored, very, very honored when I heard that President Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton was coming today, I think it is appropriate to say it," Trump said. "Honestly, there is nothing more I can say because I have a lot of respect for those two people."

I’ve always been fond of moss. It’s my Celtic blood, I suppose. It always seems so clean. In the First World War, they used it to dress wounds when they ran out of bandages. As a child, trudging across the New Forest a few yards behind my binocular-toting father, I’d grab a wodge of it and revel in its softness and greenness, indifferent to the forest’s more obvious charms – the raw heathland, the brooding trees, the kestrels rollercoastering overhead, the incurious ponies, even an occasional deer, shocked into stillness – to the exasperation of the old man. I suspect I had to be discouraged from sucking it. There’s not much point doing that unless you’re Bear Grylls. So when I saw the enormous mossy log that serves as a centrepiece to the dining room at Cambium, it triggered powerful memories and ancient imaginings – of Seventies Hampshire, and the last days of the druids, and absent friends. Brockenhurst is a big village in the forest, around which upscale faux-rustic hotels cluster. Cambium is one of a number of restaurants attached to Carey’s Manor, a spa of the sort James Bond would be sent to for a spot of R&R, only to discover that the swarthy stranger in the sauna wasn’t a loss adjuster from Bournemouth, but a dastardly agent of SMERSH with a warhead in his biro. The menus at Cambium looked promising: fancy but not fancy-schmancy; conscientious about provenance (there’s a menu that they claim is entirely sourced from within the forest boundaries); traditional with the odd modern touch.

Introducing the Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart WiFi Router (R9000) We’ve reviewed all kinds of 802.11ac routers here at Hothardware, including audacious tri-band routers that look like spaceships, and more pedestrian dual-band routers too. The recently released Netgear Nighthawk X10 is something different though, as it’s the industry’s first 802.11ad router. You may not have heard much about 802.11ad prior to the announcement of this router, so here’s the skinny; in addition to the standard 2.4GHz B/G/N and 5GHz AC wireless, it can also operate on the 60GHz band, which theoretically allows it to deliver up to 7Gb/s of bandwidth across all three bands, hence the AD7200 moniker. That’s a massive boost from the 1.7Gb/s provided by 802.11ac alone and gives you three separate networks that resemble a timeline of technology of sorts. You’ll not only have all your older and newer devices supported by the latest standards, but also have coverage for devices that don’t even exist yet. Aside from its 802.11ad features, which we’ll get to shortly, the X10 is basically a tri-band router that offers every single bit of the latest technology available. It supports up to 800Mb/s on its 2.4GHz band, up to 1,733Mb/s on its 5GHz band, and up to 4,600Mb/s on its 60GHz band. Netgear is rounding up a bit, but those three combined equal the 7,133Mb/s so it's advertised as an AD7200 router. To pull this off it not only needs that high-powered CPU, but it also features active antennas, where the amplifiers are on the antenna themselves. This router features four non-removable units, and they have blue activity LEDs on them. It supports Wave 2 MU-MIMO for up to four devices on the B/G/N/AC bands, and just one stream for 802.11ad. Since this is a Wave 2 device, it also supports 160MHz channels as well. Finally, there’s a built-in functionality for backing up a connected USB drive to Amazon Cloud. On the back of the router there’s six Gigabit LAN ports, one WAN port, the aforementioned 10G LAN port, and there are two USB 3.0 ports on the side. The front of the router has an array of white LEDs to show connected devices and activity.

The Acura TLX went from a sharp-looking sporty four-door to a weird, futuristic, beaked sedan, but it finally seems to have settled in to its own style. One thing I noticed this time with the car: Its bumper/nose dips down into the front grille now. I don’t hate it, I don’t love it. I’m not sure how I feel about it. Otherwise, the rear, silhouette and three-quarter view all look clean and elegant. The interior feels the same way. The seats are almost Lexus-comfy (the comfiest), the double radio screen takes a bit to get used to, and outward visibility is solid all the way around. I’m starting to dislike the push-button transmission, though. Just when I think it’s second nature, I press the reverse button when I want to drive and almost smack into a mailbox. The new V6 feels quick with nearly 300 hp. The pedal is a little light and touchy for my taste, but it does make it feel fast off the line when it snaps your neck back. The nine-speed was just OK. It seemed to hang on to a gear for a little longer than it needed at some points, and at others, it switched too early. Sport and Sport plus mode make it more aggressive and maybe a little quicker -- and definitely less annoying. I didn’t try eco mode. Honda/Acura steering is usually quick, and this TLX seems to have a good ratio. Of course, there isn’t any feel, but nothing really has a ton of feel these days, so quick is all you can ask for. It was more softly sprung than I expected, too. It really reminded me of a Lexus ES, though I’d say it’s better looking than that. That ES starts at $36,900 or so; this is just a little more expensive, and I think I’d take this TLX over that Lexus. The ES’s interior might be a little better, power is about the same, but this TLX has all-wheel drive. Acura doesn’t sell it in royal blue anymore, though, just a darker blue. Neither offers a stick shift, but you knew that already, and neither are really the enthusiast’s choice, but you probably knew that, too. Yup, I’ve decided. Between the two, I’m going TLX. This car bucks the trend of entry-ish level luxury sedans moving to four-cylinder engines -- witness the Mercedes C-Class and Acura’s own TLX for just two examples. This V6 is optional, and according to acura.com, it sets you back something like six grand. The four cylinder’s base price is $32K. Granted this car is loaded with a moonroof, nav, satellite radio, full infotainment system and basically everything else I can think of. I bring up the four because our site talks about driving it back to back with the six. It seems we preferred the four, with comments like, “I was not impressed with the V6 AWD Acura TLX we had a few months ago -- the car was just dull in every respect …” and “The four-cylinder has a completely different feel. This car dances with crisp, light handling, a fantastic engine and brilliant steering. Outright performance is traded for good, old-fashioned Honda-ness -- anyone who grew up in Honda’s heyday will know what I’m talking about. With a good option package and stellar driving dynamics, the TLX suddenly goes from outclassed to a must-drive in the entry-luxury segment -- as long as you stick with the I4. For the right buyer, the four-cylinder TLX is a lovely little sports sedan, and, unlike its V6 brother, it makes a strong value case for itself at $36K.” So here I am, driving the V6. It’s perfectly comfortable, and I’d go so far as to say it's responsive around town. Considering most TLX buyers drive them at say 6 or 7/10ths, I am guessing they’ll be happy with their cars. Big effort was made to make the new (in 2015, when it replaced both the larger TL and smaller TSX) car quieter according to our site, including pumping foam into the spaces behind the exterior body panels. It is indeed quiet and smooth going down the road. It’d be even quieter, but I did tend to crank up the excellent stereo. It’s too good not to. The V6 is smooth (of course it is, it’s a Honda), and 290 hp is more than ample. The four produces 206 hp. This morning’s heavy rains make me wonder if this car really has Super Handling All-Wheel Drive as listed above. I didn’t think the road holding was as good as I remember in other cars with it. On the other hand, it’s been biblical rain around lately, so I applaud the thing for just getting me to the office. Overall, this is a fine car. In my opinion, the exterior design is finally interesting, and the interior is comfortable and well-built. It performs as well as the vast majority of its prospects would expect. The car’s sales aren’t exactly tearing it up; they’re off 14.7 percent this year. Acura moved 26,000 of them in ’16 compared to the BMW 3-Series’ 45,000 and the C-Class’ 50K.

Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has been extradited to the United States, according to a statement by the Mexican Foreign Ministry. Mexican authorities had planned to turn Guzman, head of the Sinaloa cartel, over before Friday's inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, a US official told CNN's Evan Perez. A court in Mexico City on Thursday denied Guzman's appeal of the extradition. Guzman and other cartel leaders were indicted in 2009 in US District Court in Brooklyn, New York, on charges of conspiring to import more than 264,000 pounds of cocaine into the United States between 1990 and 2005. The alleged traffickers are accused of sharing drug transportation routes and obtaining their drugs from various Colombian drug organizations. Guzman also faces charges in Arizona, California, Texas, Illinois, New York, Florida and New Hampshire. The kingpin was captured last January. He was transferred from the maximum-security Altiplano lockup in central Mexico, from which he escaped in 2015, to a prison in Ciudad Juarez, near the US border. In August, his son was kidnapped from a Puerto Vallarta restaurant, in what was perceived as an attempt to exploit the cartel's vulnerability. He was later freed. The trafficking of heroin, marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine into the United States from Mexico is an annual $19 billion to 20 billion industry, according to a Department of Homeland Security report. And the Sinaloa cartel has traditionally held a dominant share of that, thanks to Guzman's sophisticated business strategies and Sinaloa's control of trafficking routes. A Customs and Border Protection report that analyzed seizure data along the border between 2009 and 2010 found that "the removal of key personnel does not have a discernable impact on drug flows" into the US. El Chapo was aware that drug trafficking won't end once he's gone. "The day I don't exist, it's not going to decrease in any way at all," he told actor Sean Penn in an interview before he was captured.

On social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram, emojis and emoticons have replaced non-verbal cues like facial movements, voice pitch and other gestures to clarify a message, a study has found. More than 90 per cent of online po[CENSORED]tion uses emojis and emoticons into their texts and emails. Researchers from the Edge Hill University in Britain found that emojis and emoticons are now being used frequently as visual aids to clarify and understand a message. “We mostly use emojis like gestures, as a way of enhancing emotional expressions,” said Linda Kaye, a cyberpsychologist at Edge Hill. “There are a lot of idiosyncrasies in how we gesture and emojis are similar to that, especially because of the discrepancies as to how and why we use them,” Kaye added. The data available with the researchers can be used to understand how communicating through emojis and emoticons can provide insights into social inclusion. Manifestation of these virtual emotions can impact how we perceive each other. “If you look at personality traits, like agreeableness, how amenable you are to other people, it seems to be related to whether you use emojis or not,” Kaye added. People may not be necessarily accurate when they make judgments based on how they see others using emojis. “What we need to be aware of is that those judgments might differ depending on where or with whom you are using those emojis, such as in the workplace or between family members,” noted the study published in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences.

Introduction This article was provided to TechRadar by Linux Format, the number one magazine to boost your knowledge on Linux, open source developments, distro releases and much more. SSH has been the staple remote access tool for the sysadmins since its advent. The cryptographic network protocol is synonymous with remote network services over an unsecured network. Admins use SSH to mount remote directories, backup remote servers, spring-clean remote databases, and even forward X11 connections. The po[CENSORED]rity of single-board computers, such as the Raspberry Pi, has introduced SSH into the parlance of the everyday desktop users as well. While SSH is useful for securely accessing one-off applications, it’s usually overkill especially if you aren’t concerned about the network’s security. Then there are times when you need to remotely access the complete desktop session rather than just a single application. Perhaps you want to handhold the person on the other end through installing software or want to tweak settings on a Windows machine from the comfort of your Linux desktop. This is where remote desktop software comes in handy. Using these nifty little applications you can remotely access and operate a computer over the network from all sorts of devices. There are various protocols and while the clients we’ll cover in this article support multiple protocols, we’ll focus on Virtual Network Computing (VNC) which is one of the most po[CENSORED]r. Specifically, we’re going to evaluate and compare five clients: RealVNC, Remmina, TigerVNC, TightVNC and Vinagre. How we tested A remote desktop sharing session involves a server and a client. The server component is installed on the remote machine that you want to access and the client is installed on the local machine or even on a mobile device such as a tablet. For this feature, we’ll use three servers – the RealVNC server built into the Raspberry Pi, the default Vino server in Ubuntu and TigerVNC server for accessing Windows PCs. A good remote desktop client should be responsive, and we’ll rate it higher than a client that does a wonderful job of replicating the remote desktop in true colour but takes ages to register clicks and key presses. We’ll also keep an eye out for any related features that are included, such as the ability to encrypt connections. The clients and servers are also all running inside our network connected via Wi-Fi.

Best Of CES 2017: Laptops The annual Consumer Electronics Show – CES – is typically chock full of bleeding-edge technology. Numerous companies take advantage of CES as the backdrop to launch or announce new products, and this year's CES 2017 was no exception. But for every killer piece of technology shown off at CES, there are a dozens of chintzy unmentionables that fill the millions of square feet that comprise the show's multiple venues. The Las Vegas Convention center and virtually all of the surrounding upscale hotels and resorts are packed to gills with CES-related tech products every year. It can be tough to discern what’s HOT and what’s NOT coming out of CES, so we’ve decided to save you the trouble and point out some the best products we saw in our travels. Whether you’re most interested in notebooks, desktops, components, or entertainment accessories, we’ve got you covered. Take a look... Laptops - Ultralights and Gaming Prior to this year's CES show, a number of manufacturer's pre-announced new laptops, some based on Intel's Kaby Lake refresh, while a few gaming machines were empowered by NVIDIA's Mobile GeForce 10 launch. As a result, at that show, there weren't as many machines that were completely new to us, except a couple of holdouts from the likes of Dell, Lenovo and surprise entrant Samsung. The top two machines come from well established lineage however, Lenovo's venerable business class ThinkPad line and Dell's recently on-fire XPS premium consumer line-up. For the past three years, Dell has rolled out a new version of its XPS 13 or 15 inch machines for CES and this year the company once again did not disappoint. Though we thought we saw it all with Dell's recent Kaby Lake and Rose Gold refresh of the machine early in the month of December, it turns out the team from Round Rock, TX had one more trick up its sleeve, a new, thinner and dramatically more flexible XPS 13 2-in-1 that we got some quality hands-on time with at the show.

DIRECTOR PETER BERG WILL SHOOT, EDIT AND PRODUCE THE AD IN REAL TIME Most Super Bowl advertisers spend months on their ads. Hyundai this year will condense the process into roughly three hours by filming its spot during the game. The 90-second ad, which the automaker is calling a documentary, will air in the so-called "post-gun" slot that airs immediately after the game ends but before the trophy ceremony. Hyundai has not disclosed creative details other than to say in a statement that the ad will capture "some of the best off-the-field Super Bowl moments." The director is Peter Berg, who will "shoot, edit and produce the 90-second documentary in real time," Hyundai said. His directing credits include films such as Patriots Day and Deepwater Horizon. Hyundai agency-of-record Innocean Worldwide is also involved. Hyundai, an official NFL sponsor, ran two 30-second in-game ads last year, plus one pre-game ad. "Super Bowl is the biggest day in advertising and following our incredibly successful 2016, we wanted to push the creativity and storytelling even further," said Dean Evans, chief marketing officer for Hyundai Motor America. "Our brand commitment is to make things 'better' and we are going to give some deserving fans an experience they will never forget. Peter Berg and his team will be capturing it live during the game and we can think of no one better to tell what will be an amazing story." The automaker plans to tease the ad this weekend during the AFC and NFC championship games with ads featuring former NFL stars Joe Montana and Mike Singletary. While Hyundai's approach is unique -- and sure to grab the kind of attention that Super Bowl advertisers crave -- it is not the first time a marketer has used same-day Super Bowl footage. Reebok in 1994 ran a Super Bowl ad that spliced in footage from the Cowboys-Bills game underway. The difference with the Hyundai spot is the automaker's claim that it will create the entire ad during the game, rather than just insert some game footage.
