Education Training WIT - pivotal role for new jobs THE recently published South East Action Plan for Jobs highlights the strong education and training base of Waterford Institute of Technology to support the development of the region to deliver on the technical and advanced skill needs of enterprises. Dr Peter McLoughlin, Head of Research, Innovation and Graduate Studies at WIT reaffirmed the Institute’s commitment to working with regional stakeholders in order to deliver on the Action Plan’s regional priorities and ambitious targets in the coming years. “WIT’s role in developing the region’s research capabilities and infrastructure, entrepreneurship and innovation support programmes and talent pool is fundamental to ensuring the South East’s economic and competitive position into the future,” he said. The plan was revealed on the same day that 76 jobs were announced by two companies. Proximity to third level institutions research facilities was one of the reasons that Kilkenny was chosen as the location for CipherTechs’ new EMEA HQ and Security Operations Centre, creating 36 jobs. Bluefin Payment Systems which has announced 40 jobs over the next three years expects to collaborate closely with WIT’s Telecommunications Software & Systems Group (TSSG) to leverage their experience and expertise in software and start ups.

High levels of collaboration and connectivity between enterprise and the further and high education system was noted of importance in the Action Plan for Jobs. It said that WIT has a pivotal role as a catalyst for regional cultural and economic development through the innovation of its research and the creation of an effective knowledge transfer framework. “WIT plays a critical role in continuing to develop the region’s open innovation system which is underpinned by high levels of collaboration and connectivity between enterprise and the Institute community,” added Dr McLoughlin. Eight regional action plans are being launched; Minister for Jobs Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton TD said each region has to play to its strengths. The south east region’s strengths have been identified as agri-food, tourism, life sciences, manufacturing and retail. There are 194 actions currently in the plan for the south east. Speaking at the launch Minister Richard Bruton TD said that 25,000 jobs are ambitious but that the region has a track record of delivering change. Close to 38,000 jobs were lost in the region during the crash, and there have been an increase of approx 25,000 in the past three years.

UCC holding its own in world rankings UCC has performed creditably in the QS World University Rankings 2015, where it is ranked at 233 out of 16,000. Its scores for academic reputation, employer reputation and international faculty have all improved. UCC was previously ranked in 230th position in 2014. Commenting on the result, UCC President Dr Michael Murphy, says: “Following eight years of budget cuts, UCC is not only holding its own in trying economic times, it continues to do more with less to exemplary standards. While experiencing a marginal drop in position, we’ve seen improvements across certain key metrics, including academic and employer reputation. “It should also be noted that QS is but one ranking with a particular methodology

favouring the very old, the very rich and Capitol city brand institutions. The performance of UCC and indeed other Irish institutions should be viewed in the round, set as it is in a challenging wider context - considerable funding cuts,

continued student-staff ratio decline and increased global competition. “We are heartened by UCC’s outstanding national and international performance in recent non-commercially driven rankings. These include the Leiden Ranking, where

UCC ranked 1st in Ireland, 16th in Europe and 52nd globally in a key measure of research excellence, and U-Multirank rankings, in which UCC was the top performer amidst 1200 universities.”

UNUM VIPs visit IT Carlow

FIVE senior executives from the US insurance giant UNUM visited IT Carlow recently to tour the UNUM lab at the institute. They met with computing and networking heads of department and lecturers to discuss building on the already successful relationship between the two bodies, including continued internship opportunities for IT Carlow graduates with the company stateside.

The visitors included Dave McMahon, UNUM’s Technology Capability Officer (TCO) of Operation Services who leads the IT team responsible for post-production support and managing over 1,000 IT applications. He was joined by fellow Technology Capability Officers (TCO) Kathi O’Grady, Cyndy Cuffey and Michelle Floyd and company directors Darach Rossiter and Michael Smith.

“This year we had tremendous success with all of the IT Carlow interns at UMUN,” says Colette Lane, Assistant Vice President, UK Groupbal Services (IRE) for UNUM. “They were truly excellent ambassadors for Unum Ireland, IT Carlow and Ireland Inc as a whole and we were particularly impressed with the projects and presentations. We look forward to continuing our successful collaborative relationship.”

The quest for the secret to eternal youth will never end. Ever since Cleopatra bathed in milk and honey to keep her skin looking beautiful and youthful, we have sought to delay the effects of ageing and stop the ravages of time; to eradicate deep frown lines, smooth wrinkles, and lift sagging skin. While a magical elixir of youth may once have appeared unattainable, with the increasing availability of non–surgical, non–invasive and less daunting options to both prevent and turn back the signs of ageing, that’s no longer the case. There has been a shift in attitudes of late towards cosmetic enhancement, making Anti Wrinkle injections and fillers — more universally acceptable for those ordinary men and women seeking to preserve their youthful visages. With results that speak for themselves, it’s obvious why more and more people are turning to anti–wrinkle injectables for the most superior and non–invasive results available without the need for a surgical facelift.

Remember the tell–tale signs of these treatments, with the startled, frozen forehead and dramatically raised eyebrow? Well, these days with the procedure, less is most certainly more. Now the trend is leaning more towards a fresher, more natural look, with practitioners using smaller amounts to allow for more movement. Anti-Wrinkle injectables are utilised to help those frown lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows, while for those pesky wrinkles on the lower half of the face, fillers are generally used. Leading the way in the latest techniques in facial cosmetics is one of Ireland’s top laser and skin clinics, Thérapie. There the anti–wrinkle injections are quick, easy and have very little, to no downtime. The results are visible within a couple of days and there’s a fresh smooth appearance to the skin without anyone knowing you’ve had a procedure done. Therapie Clinic are now launching an official

weekly Anti-Wrinkle Clinic with their renowned doctor, offering treatments at the most affordable prices in Ireland with 1 Area only €120, 2 Areas €240 and an optional 3rd area for half price so that’s 3 areas for only €300. Antiwrinkle injections have simply never been this affordable or attainable. The treatments eliminate lines, have no long– term side effects, rejuvenate the face, are non– surgical, and, with continued use, will also prevent wrinkles from forming in the future. Sarah Cagney, from Thérapie Waterford outlines there is an “incredible demand out there to have these treatments”. “A lot of people have cut down on shopping, gone are the days of expensive shoes and bags and plenty of people will forego the annual holiday to invest in their looks,” she says. “The trend is absolutely for a more natural look, with lots of my clients simply being told how well– rested they look.” In fact, Thérapie Clinic has reported a 49% increase in consultations this year for anti–

29

wrinkle injectables. ‘Our clients are travelling from all over to have these treatments done’. ‘The key is to attend a highly reputable clinic, renowned for good practice and subtle results, and a clinic that uses the expertise of experienced medical practitioners is critical’ says Sarah Cagney of Therapie Clinic. While very young patients are not encouraged to try out anti– wrinkle injectables, nowadays there is a more widely held belief that starting Anti Wrinkle injections a bit earlier will mean better results in the long–term. With the unrelenting battle against ageing skin, prevention is better than a cure, and the average age of clients has come down from 40 to the early 30s. It seems we’re taking action earlier as a preventative measure, rather than waiting for the deeper wrinkles to set in. A small amount done at an early stage means a lot less later on.

Lasting three to four months, Anti Wrinkle injections, which work by relaxing specific muscles to smooth out wrinkles, is not about a radically changed facial appearance. However, even those in their early 30s can expect dramatic smoothing and a more youthful, younger looking appearance. With this new age of anti–wrinkle injectables, it looks like the search to find the modern day fountain of youth is over.

Montreal, c’est magnifique! E

UROPEAN in style, Montréal is filled with cobbled streets, chic shops and fascinating museums. Montréal is the capital of the French community in Canada and has a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ visitors will love. A determined mixture of French and Canadian, this city’s dual personality is reflected in its architecture as well as its

population. The city is a sophisticated blend of the atmospheric Old Town by the waterfront and the modern world represented by the remarkable Underground City, a labyrinth of over 2000 shops and 29 km of tunnels. Overlooked by Mont-Royal, spectacular skyscrapers tower over the many churches and historic buildings. Montréal may have

traditional roots but it is ideal for fun. Take a walk in the beautiful Jean-Drapeau Parc or a Bateau Mouche down the St Lawrence River. After all that culture and beautiful buildings, you might be in the mood for a slightly less highbrow pursuit. and what could fit the bill better than shopping? And as the Canadian dollar buys you

more for your pound than the US dollar, Canada is THE place to shop! Malls include Montréal Eaton Centre, Complexe des Jardins, Le Faubourg Sainte-Catherine and the Place Ville Marie. Wander around Old Montréal for knick-knacks and antiques. Boulevard St Denis is Montréal’s Latin Quarter, lined with shops, cafés, bistros and bars.

AN Irish adage advises: “Go east for a women; Go west for a horse...” And plenty will be following that advice by trekking to Co Galway for the Ballinasloe Horse Fair on October 4th. It is one of Europe’s oldest and largest Horse Fairs, dating back to the 18th century. This annual event attracts up to 80,000 visitors from all over the world, with many returning to the town year after year. This festival is one of the most

important social and economic events in the life of the town which is also renowned for horse and pony riding, show jumping and other equestrian activities which take place throughout the year. Events include an equestrian parade, live music on the festival stage, street entertainment, soap box racing, a fireworks display, street tug of war, a craft market and dog show.

In an attempt to bring peace to the world Tony Stark aka Iron Man (Downey Jr) creates Ultron (voice of James Spader), a robot with artificial intelligence. However, instead of protecting humans, Ultron believes the only way to restore peace to Earth is to eliminate its citizens. The Avengers - Iron Man, Thor (Hemsworth), the Hulk (Ruffalo), Captain America (Evans), Black Widow (Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) - team up once again to save the day, but can they defeat Ultron before he obliterates the human race?

Book of the week

The Girl in the Spider’s Web by David Lagercrantz She is the girl with the dragon tattoo. Lisbeth Salander He is a campaigning journalist, Mikael Blomkvist. A superhacker has gained access to critical, top secret U.S. intelligence. Blomkvist knows only one person who could crack the best security systems in the world. Salande is accused of acting without reason, taking risks just because she can, but though they have lost touch, Blomkvist knows Lisbeth better than that. There must be something deeper at the heart of this - maybe even the scoop that Millennium magazine so desperately needs for its survival.

7

Album of the week

Paper Gods: Duran Duran How many bands can you think of that, decades into their career, are still capable of springing surprises, of blazing fresh trails, creating new music that is up there with the imperishable songs that first propelled them to fame, fortune and critical acclaim? As part of a major new recording deal with Warner Bros. Records, Paper Gods starts the next chapter in the history of the band, with a host of A-list collaborators - including Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson, Mr Hudson, Janelle Monáe, John Frusciante, Kiesza and Davide Rossi - joining the party.

9

Movie of the week

Legend Ronnie and Reggie Kray were identical twin gangsters whose exploits became a criminal ‘Legend’, and controlled the organised crime scene in London during the 1960s. Starting out by owning nightclubs, they eventually became celebrities in their own right. Ronnie, unfortunately, was an unbalanced paranoid schizophrenic who was very prone to violence, and with Americans keen to invest in the Krays’ businesses, Reggie had to try and keep him under control. Starring Tom Hardy (‘Mad Max: Fury Road’) in a double performance as both twins, ‘Legend’ is a thrilling gangster drama directed by Brian Helgeland.

10

App of the week

Ninja Snap (Android) The Ninja Snap app’s sole purpose is to trick your friends. Specifically that one friend who likes to go through your pictures in a frenzy after only being invited to see one image. If you create a prank album before giving the phone to that friend, after a few swipes, the phone’s front facing camera will snap a picture of them. Those pictures are then inserted into the album as they swipe. If nothing else, this one is good for a laugh. (free)

BEAUTY

Waterford Mail 24 SEPTEMBER 2015

Lashes of natural beauty By Emer Kelly @Eimkelly LONG, luscious lashes are a year-round necessity. Follow these five rules to get perfect eyelashes without having to revert to timeconsuming falsies or expensive extensions. 1. Eyelash curlers are essential Lash curlers are the key to giving lashes that “wow� factor. Be sure to choose one that creates a beautiful upward curl, and with a delicate pumping motion, move from the lash base upward for maximum results. Always curl before applying mascara, not after. 2. Let lashes set between layers of mascara Practice a little patience between each coat. Giving a little bit of air time between each coat will allow the mascara to set and build upon each layer instead of glooping up as one big clump. 3. Prevent spider lashes with a lash comb Avoid spidery clumps by combing lashes after applying mascara. A lash comb is key; apply a coat, wait a few seconds, brush through eyelashes, and then apply the next coat 4. Don’t layer different mascaras I wouldn’t recommend this, as some formulas will not mix well and end up clumping, some mixing and matching does work. If there’s a wand you prefer over another, clean it off and use with your favourite formula or as a lash comb. 5. Condition and treat your lashes daily Just like your hair, your lashes need a little TLC. Lash conditioners can work as a primer, creating a smooth surface for mascara. Growth treatments stimulate the eyelash growth cycle, making it longer, so lashes come in longer, darker and thicker. Full results take within 2-3 months, while improvements show within 4 weeks.

Film review Maze Runner: Scorch Trials

Rated: 12A

RELEASED from the confines of the original film, Scorch Trials is bigger and more ambitious. Last year’s The Maze Runner was surprisingly enthralling. Sure it was almost offensively formulaic, but it did exactly what it said on the tin, providing laughs, thrills, heartbreak and relentless action in a break-neck and downright entertaining fashion. But now comes the famous, tricky follow-up. In the case of Scorch Trials this rings doubly true, since the end of The Maze Runner saw the series break free from the confines of the titular labyrinth. How does Scorch Trials handle this freedom? For the most part, it revels in it - mainly thanks to the grandiose and ambitious direction of Wes Ball, who builds upon his successful work on the original to take the series to even more spectacular heights.

Everest

Curtain call The Elephant Man KILKENNY’S KATS Theatre Group return to the Watergate Theatre after their smash production of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest with The Elephant Man, directed by Don O’Connor. Based on the real life of Joseph Merrick, The Elephant Man tells the story of a 19th-century man (Fergal Millar) who became a star of the traveling freak show circuit. When the renowned Dr Treves (Ciarán Dunphy) takes Merrick under his care, he is astonished by the man’s brilliant intelligence,

unshakable faith and, most of all, his resounding desire for love and understanding. Cast: Fergal Millar ( Joseph Merrick), Ciarán Dunphy (Frederick Treves), Brendan Corcoran (Bishop Howe), Teresa Brennan (Mrs. Kendal), Dee Gibney, Elaine O’Hara, Eoin O’Connell, Orna Ward, Ben Warner, Rachel Madden and more. Until September 26th, Watergate Theatre, 8pm, Parliament Street, Kilkenny. Tickets, €15/12: watergatetheatre.com.

Rated:12A

BASED on the real life drama of the 1996 disaster, Everest has compelling performances and harrowing action. Every year, usually in or around the fall movie season, historical epics tend to crop up on studio release schedules. Be it the intention to counterprogramme the market to combat the glut of action and explosions the summer has brought, or be it the intent to score awards-season buzz in the closing months of the year, this is usually the time and place to release your historical movie. With Everest, Universal has raced the film market to the top of the heap (literally and figuratively), and has succeeded – though it does come at a cost (it’s a little under-developed in the first act. Director Baltasar Kormakur has crafted a tense but gorgeous look at the spirit to survive at any cost.

Event American Wrestling Roadshow

This event is ideal for 4 - 12 year olds. Saturday September 26th, Theatre Royal, The Mall, Waterford, 7.30pm. Tickets, €15: theatreroyal.ie
