This is my latest PC built mostly for gaming but also some intensive workloads, such as neural network training. The main games I run are Destiny 2, Minecraft, Far Cry 5, and GTA 5. See below for reasoning behind each parts' selection.
Processor: I chose the 3900X because I wanted the best I could get for a reasonable price. I skimped in this area on my last build and did not want to make the same mistake. I know it is overkill for gaming but it will be helpful for my neural network training. This thing is absolutely amazing, and it will definitely handle all of my gaming and workloads for the foreseeable future. It scored a 7300 in Cinebench R20 with PBO enabled, getting an all core boost of 4.4 GHz with ease!
Cooler: A great processor deserves a great cooler, so I got the 360mm corsair liquid cooler to keep the monster of a processor cool. It works extremely well and allows for 6 fans to mount to it, so I have the three RGB fans on the front and the 3 that came with the cooler on the back.
Motherboard: I wanted to get the latest and best of the X570 boards, so I went for this Asus X570 board. I know, I know, X570 is not necessary for this build as I am not using PCIe 4.0, but I wanted a great motherboard and did not want the hassle of trying to update the bios to use the 3900X.
RAM: Knowing how much RAM speed affects Ryzen, I got 32 GB of Corsair DDR4 3200 MHz RAM. This RAM runs very well and the RGB lighting is the icing on the cake.
Storage: I got the 1 TB Samsung M.2 for my OS and my favorite games and the 3 TB hard drive for bulk storage of games, movies, and clips. The Samsung drive is incredibly fast for all operations and I am very happy with it.
GPU: I got the RTX 2080 Super recently to finish off this build (for now...). I chose it because it is top of the line, and under $1000 nothing is better in my opinion. I originally wanted to go Navi but they did not have anything on the high end so I went with this 2080 Super. Its my first Nvidia card and I am extremely pleased with it, the drivers and software are much better and the raw power is just insane.
Case: I love the look of this Corsair case, and I especially like the included fans, commander pro, and lighting hub. All that within a sleek case make this case a very good choice for the price (considering the near $200 of fans, fan controllers, and RGB hubs that are included).
Power Supply: To leave the possibility of Crossfire on the table I went with a 1000W PSU with a gold rating.
OS: For gaming and for school I chose Windows 10. I got it free through my University.
Fans: Had to have that extra RGB flair so I got 3 more LL RGB fans to add to this case.
Monitors: The Samsung 32" Curved Monitor is fantastic. I got it working with Freesync as G-Sync at 144 Hz no problem! The two side monitors I got used from a local business at a steal. They work great for discord and web browsers while I game on the main monitor.
Keyboard: Also had this from my last build, and it is an amazing keyboard. I got some of Hyper X's custom pudding keys for added effect, and they are double shot which is a nice bonus.
Mouse: Also had this on my last build, it is a great mouse. Really nice for FPS and feels really good in the hand.
Headphones: Also had these on my last build, and I absolutely love them. The wireless is amazing, the battery life is fantastic, the sound is really good, and the mic is quite nice as well.
Speakers: I had these from my last build as well, and they work well. I mostly use them for gaming if I am playing alone and some music.
CableMod Cables: I got these because default PSU cables do not look great, and I was really going for a nice aesthetic. I really like how these turned out and I am very happy with my purchase, especially considering how much I was on-the-fence about them.
Overall, I am very happy with this build. It runs everything I throw at it with ease and I love gaming on it. All Corsair peripherals and RGB is very nice and I love how they can all sync up. If you have any questions about the build, let me know, and I will be happy to answer them as best I can. Hope you guys like it!
Part Reviews
This processor is an absolute monster. It will run anything I throw at it with ease and never gets overloaded. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get the best of the best in gaming processors.
CPU Cooler
This cooler is great for performance. It has greatly helped my processors thermals and it is very quiet.
This motherboard is quite overkill for most people, but it is one of the best looking X570 boards, and it is Asus. The reason it does not have 5 stars is the price mostly, I know X570 is expensive but it feels like it should not be that expensive.
This RAM runs very well, no issues getting it to set at 3200 MHz and I got it for an amazing price. The RGB effects are fantastic and I would highly recommend the RAM overall!
This drive is insanely fast. It easily reaches and sometimes exceeds its advertised read / write speeds and boots very fast as well. The capacity is very nice, leaves room for my favorite games on top of my OS and programs.
First drive was DOA, second one has no issues. Not much to say here, its a good hard drive with lots of storage at a great price.
Video Card
The graphics card itself is amazing. The cooling system is great, even at max loads I have not seen anything above 70, and thats with the rest of my fans in quiet mode. The reason I took off a star is the software. Gigabytes software is utter garbage. I know I can use MSI afterburner for controlling its speeds and fans, which I am, but their RGB control software cannot be substituted. It looks awful, and it takes over RGB lighting on my ram from iCue while running. Luckily, the GPU can save lighting effects so I set them then stopped the software from running on startup. TL;DR: Great hardware, garbage software.
This case is absolutely beautiful. The tempered glass combined with the RGB give a very nice and clean aesthetic. I really love the look of this case. My only complaint, and the reason it lost a star, is that it has limited cable management space behind the right side panel. To make matters worse, because that panel is also tempered glass, you have to try and have really clean cable management on both sides. Don't get me wrong, the tempered glass looks really nice and I do like having it, but that extra effort required to tie and tuck every single cable makes it slightly less appealing. I would definitely build in this case again, just be aware that it will take you some extra time to work out your cable routing well.
Power Supply
Not much to say here, it is a very efficient and quality PSU. The fan will not spin unless it is loaded, which is quite helpful for silent operation. Also, the link into iCUE for monitoring is actually quite useful as well.
Case Fan
These fans look amazing and are near silent even at high RPMs. I highly recommend them for any build, especially if you want some RGB that looks clean and not trashy (looking at you visible LED strips...)
Case Fan
These fans look amazing and are near silent even at high RPMs. I highly recommend them for any build, especially if you want some RGB that looks clean and not trashy (looking at you visible LED strips...).
These monitors are nothing special, they work well for side monitors and at $15 a piece I am not complaining.
This new monitor is fantastic, it ticks all my boxes. 1440p, Freesync (used as G-Sync with no issues), HDR, and 144 Hz Refresh Rate. The color accuracy is amazing, and I very much like the curve as well!
This keyboard is one of the best that money can buy. The MX Brown switches feel amazing. They have a nice tactile feel without being obnoxiously loud. The RGB and extra programmable keys really make this keyboard a fantastic choice, I would highly recommend it!
This mouse is very nice, especially for the price. It has a very good weight to it, which I believe is adjustable (don't quote me on that). I really like the way it feels in the hand, it is suited well to a palm grip or a looser grip. The sniper button is nice, but I wish it was re-mappable. Other than that issue, this is a fantastic gaming mouse and it performs well!
This headset has amazing sound quality. The 7.1 surround is quite nice for gaming, very easy to tell the direction of footsteps. The wireless works quite well, no latency issues and I have not experienced any connectivity issues either. The reason I knocked off a star is a software issue with iCue. Oftentimes when I mute the mic then unmute it, my sidetone (hearing mic input through the headset in real time) is disabled. To re-enable it I have to open iCue and click on the slider. This is not a major issue but it is quite frustrating if you are in the middle of a game, which is why I knocked off a star.
These speakers have good sound quality for the price. They work quite well for gaming speakers as they have a lot of bass. Music through them is not amazing, but that may be because I now listen to music through a Samsung soundbar. They work well for the price and I would recommend them for gaming and some casual listening. If you are an audiophile however, these may not be for you.
These stands are fantastic. They have so many axes that are adjustable, so no matter how you want to place your monitors you can do it. One thing to note, check dimensions. The base of these stands is quite large.
These cables really do look amazing. They added that last touch to the aesthetic of my build and I am very happy with them. The included cable combs are easy to install and even easier to move once installed. I had no issues with these cables and if you are looking for an easy way to clean up your build I highly recommend adding some of these!

I love those retro office interior design trends consisting of styles from decades of the 50's, 60's and 70's. Maybe it's my passion for classic cars such as a 59 Cadillac or the timeless music of bands like the Beatles that drives my fondness to this throwback style!
Does your office make a good first impression?

Probably yes.
There is no one size fits all for finding the best office space to suit your needs and scale to your growth.

A dog that lost half her face saving two girls from an oncoming motorcycle has returned to the Philippines after eight months of treatment in the US.
The mixed-breed dog, Kabang, lost her snout and upper jaw in the incident in December 2011.
Kabang attracted worldwide support because of her injuries, with donations from the Philippines and abroad covering her $27,000 treatment costs.
A parade is planned in Kabang's honour in Zamboanga City on Sunday.
The hero dog jumped into the path of a motorcycle, stopping it from hitting her owner's daughter and niece in the southern city two years ago.
The accident left a gaping hole in the two-year old dog's face.
Kabang's heroic tale prompted an outpouring of sympathy, with fundraising campaigns set up on Facebook and Twitter.
Veterinary surgeon Anton Lim, who accompanied the dog to the US, said they received donations from 45 countries, covering the full cost of treatment.
"This is the first time in the history of the Philippines that we've seen such support for a dog," said Ed Unson, another Filipino vet and one of Kabang's handlers.
Doctors at the University of California operated on Kabang's wounds, and treated her for a tumour and heartworm.
While they could not reconstruct the dog's jaw or snout, they took skin grafts from her cheeks, neck and forehead to cover up sensitive areas exposed on her face, University of California Professor Frank Verstraete explained.
Despite the disfigurement, Kabang can still chew her food using her two remaining molars, and smell well enough to recognise her owner and handlers, Mr Lim told reporters on Saturday.
The dog was greeted by a crowd of well-wishers at Manila airport and later reunited with her owner, Rudy Bunggal, in Zamboanga.

Those who heard the reports and saw the pictures surmised that this was possibly a female leopard with young cubs who, following her fierce maternal instincts, was chasing people away when they got too close, another theory was that she was attacking them as possible prey. A few weeks ago, a poisoned carcass of another leopardess was found, along with one of her young cubs, still alive but doomed to a life in captivity. All these incidents indicate that we, conservationists and media need to get together to change the way the public are viewing these incidences so that the larger goal of conservation of the species while ensuring the safety of the people is achieved.
The only instant of a man-eater being recorded in Sri Lanka was in 1924, in Punani, in the East of the country. That animal was eventually shot with, perhaps, half a dozen victims to his credit. In India, however, where human populations are far higher and encroachment into natural habitat and wild animals living close to humans, the main contributor to animal – human conflicts, far greater, the incidents of human–leopard conflict are far more numerous, some ending in deaths on both sides. In January and February of 2018 alone, NDTV reported that no fewer than 106 leopards were killed in India!
None knows more about this conflict in India than Vidya Athreya. She is a senior scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society - India and is also a member of the IUCN Cat Specialist Group as well as the IUCN
Task Force on Human - Wildlife Conflict. She has worked extensively with the managers and the media in parts of India where human leopard conflict levels have been high to try and change the situation so that both human and animal lives are safer.
The Wildlife & Nature Protection Society is happy to announce that Vidya Athreya will be presenting the May instalment of its monthly Lecture Series on May 17, 2018 at the BMICH Lotus Hall, starting at 6.00 pm. The public lecture is open to both member and non-members, entrance free.
Her presentation will cover the findings of her research carried out in human use landscapes in India where leopards share space with a high density of people. This will contrast between the rural settings as well as the urban setting of Mumbai, where Ms. Athreya has been working. She will explain the reasons for the increased conflict, and how they dealt with it in India, and discuss possible ways ahead in resolving human - leopard conflicts fundamental to which is shifting the focus of action from targeting the animals to targeting people and their behaviour, so that conflict is minimized. This is the knowledge that we, as interested citizens, conservationists, media and policy makers, require to turn around the issue of conflict to one of a more peaceful shared spaces.

The members states of the Council on Railway Transport of the Commonwealth transported 1.5 billion tons of freight in the first nine months of 2019, down 0.6% compared to the same period in 2018, although container shipments increased by 14.3%, said Oleg Belozerov, the Chairman of the Council and the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board Russian Railways. Belozorov was speaking in the Belarusian capital Minsk at the organisation's 71st meeting.
"We have achieved this result by, among other things, systematic work on diversifying routes, applying new technologies and harmonising legal conditions, including tariff regulation and reducing transit times," said Belozerov.
According to the Company CEO, attracting international transit to the 1520 transport networkspace has huge potential. Working towards that aim requires the members of the Rail Transport Board constantly to rethink their approaches, focus on the competitive environment, and actively use the traditional advantages of the railways, in particular, delivery speeds and new technological capabilities such as digitalisation.
"I see the task of increasing the competitiveness of International Transport Corridors (ITCs) in effective work in such key areas as logistics development, digitalisation and customer orientation," said Oleg Belozerov.
The head of the Council stressed that compliance with delivery times is one of the key parameters in transport services and that train and wagon delays at borders and docking point shave a very negative impact on the quality of the end-to-end rail service.

Wayne Rooney ought to consider a second career as a painter and decorator because mere mention of his name alone is doing a wonderful job of papering over the cracks at Manchester United.
Although United dismissed as "nonsense" reports that the 24-year-old would be sold in January because of the "irretrievable breakdown" of his relationship with Alex Ferguson, suggesting that all is well in Wayne's world would be folly, considering that he was not required to start Saturday's costly draw against West Bromwich Albion.
Rooney, damaged goods as a brand since his name was muddied by allegations of liaisons with prostitutes last month, is also not quite the player he was when his 34 goals in all competitions earned him both the PFA and Football Writers' player of the year awards last season.
But his continuing omission from Ferguson's starting XI remains a headline story. Until he reclaims his previous distinction as being the first name on the teamsheet, Rooney will continue to be a distraction for the United manager.
The same applies to Rooney's future. Contract talks aimed at the final 21 months of his current deal have made little progress, but the forward's off-field issues -- and the resolution of a court case brought by his former representatives -- have shifted the focus of Rooney's advisers in recent weeks.
Sources close to Rooney suggested, somewhat vaguely, over the weekend that his situation would be resolved "soon enough," and the player himself cut a relaxed figure as he honoured the filming requirements of his sponsors following the game on Saturday evening before waving to fans while holding his son, Kai, in an Old Trafford executive box.
Yet rather than scoring the goals to fuel United's title ambitions, Rooney is now serving another purpose for United. He is deflecting the focus from the defensive problems and worrying lack of quality which are combining to leave Ferguson's team way off the title pace.
United did not throw away victory against West Brom because Rooney was on the bench. By half-time, Ferguson's decision not to select him appeared wholly justified as a 2-0 lead, which should have been 5-0, gave the home side a platform to secure a routine victory.
But wasteful finishing -- take a bow Dimitar Berbatov and Nani -- and shoddy defending not only paved the way for West Brom to snatch a point, it almost led to Roberto di Matteo's team claiming all three.
First-half goals by Javier Hernandez and Nani, prior to Ryan Giggs's departure with a hamstring injury, were cancelled out by second-half replies from Somen Tchoyi and a Patrice Evra own goal, before Rooney was introduced after 71 minutes and immediately dispatched to the left-wing.
United should have been out of sight before Rooney's introduction, however. Yet considering his form this season, it is debatable whether he would have converted the chances missed by Berbatov and Nani.
It would also be ludicrous to suggest that Edwin van der Sar would not have fumbled the ball into Tchoyi's path for West Brom's equaliser had Rooney been on the pitch from the start.
United's problems go beyond Ferguson and Rooney's draining battle of wills. Defensively, they are naive, with Rafael da Silva regressing rather than progressing. Evra, a stellar performer last season, is a shadow of his former self.
Goals are being conceded at an alarming rate, both "inexplicable" and "not good enough" according to Ferguson, while in midfield, there is something of the Emperor's new clothes about Anderson, who is not in the same league as the dominant, but rested, Darren Fletcher.
With Giggs facing up to a month on the sidelines and Paul Scholes unable to play three games a week, United's search for inspiration falls directly on to Rooney's shoulders. That in itself is a problem too.
But all of those issues are overshadowed by the big ones of Rooney's form and future. The last star striker to endure a form slump after falling foul of Ferguson was Ruud van Nistelrooy and, despite 150 goals in 219 appearances, he was ruthlessly dispatched to Real Madrid against the wishes of the supporters.
Back then, Ferguson had the blossoming talents of Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo in place to claim Van Nistelrooy's mantle.
Four years on, it is a different story, which is why selling Rooney would be an altogether different decision for the manager to make. (© Daily Telegraph, London)

It was "the end of an era!" Or so the sign once read proudly plastered across this unassuming shop frontage in a neat side street off Camberwell Junction. After providing this leafy suburb with the finest in Persian rugs for 15 years, Mr Kamal was shutting up shop, for his namesake Persian Rug Gallery was making way for a gallery of a different kind.
What was once Kamal's Persian Rug Gallery is now The Bike Gallery selling road, town and commuting bikes, and coffee. Little Mule was perhaps the first to introduce the marriage of espresso and bicycles (in one place) to love-struck Melburnians, but if you're serious about your riding you'll pedal over to Hawthorn for it.
New owner Lincoln Brown and architects Mark and Robyn Beattie joined forces to make a swift departure from a dusty and cavernous space to reveal some decidedly good bones. Exposed brick walls meet white church-like ceilings and smooth, polished concrete floors. But once you've pushed you're way through the big canary-yellow door, a cascading wall of ply-wood that houses the two-grind Synesso cyncra with matching canary side-panels awaits.
Brown spoke of four components that define the space. Before all, it is a retail space that doubles as a place for sipping on lattes and strong flat whites. There's also a bike-fitting studio upstairs, and a service centre with a workshop for servicing and repairs.
The coffee is Axil, and the clothing is custom-made by Sportful in Italy. Bikes and coffee, he's on to a good thing.

It's good to finally read this famous book, starring the famous Captain Nemo and his famous ship the Nautilus, and discover that its fame is well-deserved: it's a page-turning adventure story with drama, intrigue and nifty gadgets.
The narrator, a maritime expert, joins an expedition and eventually ends up aboard the Nautilus with couple of his companions. In a series of episodes we find out about the ship, a little about the captain, and a lot about various going-on under the sea. Verne puts a lot of really interesting and generally plausible ideas into the story, which is impressive for a speculative fiction written nearly 150 years ago. I have always wondered about the title though: I always thought that it referred to a depth of 20,000 leagues, but then I discovered that 20,000 leagues is about 100,000km, ten times deeper than any ocean. I now realise that it's simply the distance travelled while under the sea — they circumnavigate the globe underwater, following a very meandering path.

Frequently Asked Questions
Airdrops can be defined as the process whereby a cryptocurrency enterprise distributes cryptocurrency tokens to the wallets of some users free of charge.
Airdrops are usually carried out by blockchain-based startups to bootstrap their cryptocurrency projects. Also, established blockchain-based enterprises like cryptocurrency exchange platforms and wallet services can carry out airdrops as well.
Each airdrop has its requirements. However, most of them are similar. These are the most common requirements that will allow you to participate in most of the crypto airdrops:
1. An email account
2. Social media accounts: Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Medium, Bitcointalk Forum and Telegram
3. An Ethereum wallet that supports the ERC20 Token Standard (no exchange wallet).
4. A NEO wallet
If you are new to crypto we suggest you create your ETH wallet on MyEtherWallet and your NEO wallet on the NEO Website. Be sure to read and save all information provided to you!
We suggest to make and use only "secondary" accounts for all of them to avoid spam on your personal accounts.
It is not too complicated not to get scammed. The number one rule is: never, ever, provide your private key for anyone, no matter what is the reason.
You should also be careful entering wrong sites which pretend to be what they are not. These will try to make you enter your private key as well and then steal it.
We do not recommend to install non-trusted apps. We advise on this site only safe airdrops; we make the maximum effort to help everyone to join just legit and safe airdrops.
First of all, we verify the airdrop is legit. After this, we consider the amount of time, effort and tools needed to participate, the reward, the potential of the coin/token, and more.
Don't hesitate to ask us, we have some contacts to run a great airdrop campaign for you!

1. Questlove was a sputtering, nervous mess when he first met his idol, Prince.
Q-Tip introduced Quest to Prince at a nightclub in downtown NYC, but the drummer was more than a bit stunned when he realized his idol knew who he was:
Words, finally, appeared in the gurgling. "Yeah," I said. "Just that...you are...knowing who I...be."
Q-Tip translated. "He's amazed that you know he's alive."
"Right," I said. "That you be knowing me. That, I, I mean you, I mean. You know. That the thing is." At this point, Q-Tip shot me a glance. It was the look you give a guy in a plane when it's going down. Time to hit the silk. "I'm going to go," I said, and I went.
2. After his parents threw away (and even broke!) his records from artists they thought were inappropriate — Prince, The Time, Vanity 6 — Questlove recorded them onto cassettes and hid them inside his drums.
3. Hearing D'Angelo for the first time changed Questlove's life.
He was frustrated with what R&B had turned into, lacking "authentic passion" and "soulless." But then he heard D'Angelo's Brown Sugar:
It changed my life. Here was a singer who connected with me as deeply as the best hip-hop. It was the first album, of course, the sensibility that powered the songs, the ability to locate the heart of the best soul music. It was out of step with the times but in a way that made it seem like he was stepping into uncharted territory.
But he had actually passed up the chance to work with him! After being offered to play on the song "Shit, Damn, Motherfucker," Quest passed, having sized up D'Angelo previously when he'd come by the studio, thinking "eh, another corny R&B guy."
"I had no clue that he was going to be the second coming," he writes.
4. The Roots' residency on Jimmy Fallon is the direct result of a human pyramid.
5. Kanye West's performance of "Jesus Walks" for Dave Chappelle's Block Party was the moment Questlove felt a changing of the guard.
We were shooting a performance of "Jesus Walks," and Kanye wanted to come in with a marching band. I remember a welter of political and artistic thoughts crowding my mind. I thought about how presidential he looked and how the black kids were responding to him, something I had ever really focused on in our own audience. I remember having a kind of out-of-body experience and investigation of the thought of my own artistic death. "Am I dead already?" I wondered. [...]
I remember [...] thinking to myself, "Oh, I see. This is where I get off." I saw the rest of the plot stretched out before me. Kanye was going to be the new leader, and I was fine with that.
6. According to Quest, the single most influential moment in the history of hip-hop was the Stevie Wonder episode of the Cosby Show.
"Why do I say that this episode changed hip-hop forever?" Questlove asks. "Simple: it was the first time that 99 percent of us who went on to be hip-hop producers saw what a sampler was."
He marks that as the moment he got sucked into hip-hop production; it was the first time he'd seen a sampler, just as it was the first time for so many other legendary producers, like J Dilla and Just Blaze. But they weren't sure of exactly what it was.
At that point, it was just something cool on a sitcom, and in response to it, in awe of it, an entire generation of talented, ambitious black kids leaned forward in their chairs to the point of falling out.

My joyless 'snowflake' peers have no idea how much damage their whinging about exams and 'fattist' Friends is really doing
Thanks to a loud minority of whiny millenials, young people are all being unfairly tarred with the "snowflake" brush
JUST when you think the millennial snowflakes are beginning to "buck up and get a grip on life", another blizzard strikes.
This week takes the form of new official report showing that a growing number of Cambridge University students are claiming to be so anxious about taking end-of-year written tests alongside hundreds of others, that they are being allowed to sit papers on their own, in small college rooms.
Even as someone who suffered from terrible exam nerves, the report – to use a snowflake word – was "problematic".
Of course, exams are demanding and stressful, but life is demanding and stressful, and there's no applying for mitigating circumstances once you leave education and go out into the real world.
Dishearteningly, the ridiculous story has coincided with a bizarre millennial backlash against the brilliant 90s TV show Friends, which has just been put on Netflix and is now being watched by those too young to have seen it in its heyday.
The humourless criticisms range from "fattist" (the friends laugh at Monica for her weight problems) to "homophobic" (there's a running joke about Ross being afraid of gay men) and completely miss the point that the whole thing is a joke and the characters' ludicrous intolerance is what it makes it funny.
Now, as a millennial who is all too often tarred with the same brush as my contemporaries, I find these snowflakes – healthy, fit millennials who shout "offence" at all life's stumbling blocks –frustrating in the extreme.
Study after study proves that most millennials actually work longer hours than their parents did at the same age.
Plus, it's been shown that those between the ages of 21 and 34 are also more likely to forfeit unused holiday days than other working demographic – despite the fact that due to their juniority in the workforce, they earn less holiday time overall than older workers.
Yes, there are some people my age (I've just turned 24) who retreat into the narcissistic echo chamber of social media because they see themselves as too delicate for hard grind – but the caricature they paint of the millennial worker basking in a sea of plastic participation trophies is neither deserved or justified.
most read in news
And the harm this tiny but oh-so-vocal group millennials causes doesn't end at reputation damage.
By jumping on the mental health bandwagon, snowflakes seriously undermine the causes of those who are genuinely suffering from depression and anxiety.
Both conditions are authentic and serious and should be treated as such, but are all too often dismissed by people finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish between real victims, and those who just refuse to hack real life.
In short, those who pontificate the most about mental health may well be helping to freeze a generation of real sufferers out of work.
The shrill voices of the minority – whether it be faint-hearted Cambridge students or priggish Friends haters – may rise high above the rest of ours, but the truth is that most of my generation just want to shake off the snowflakes and get on in life.

Design Sprint & the immense value of failure
We fail every day. But we are often so worried about our failure that we create vague goals, so that nobody can point the finger when we don't achieve them. Tonight we discussed how a Design Sprint creates a safe environment to be able to fail and learn.
How do you experiment?
We always like an active Meetup, so right before the presentation, we did a practical exercise. with the whole group. During the exercise we got up on our feet and shared our knowledge and experience with experimenting. We shared our experience about the amount of experiments, measuring success and which conditions we need to freely experiment.
Most large organizations embrace the idea of invention, but are not willing to suffer the string of failed experiments necessary to get there.Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon
We fail every day. But we are often so worried about our failure that we create vague goals, so that nobody can point the finger when we don't achieve them. We imagine all the possible excuses why things went this way, instead of learning from our mistakes.
Create a safe environment to fail
With a Design Sprint you create a safe environment to be able to fail and learn together with your team in 4 days. During this Meetup we showed how to get the most value from experiments and how a Design Sprint can help you with this. Like SNS Bank, they experimented with a lot of new ideas during the sprint. At the end of the 4 days, they were able to decide which parts to build and which parts they didn't have to invest any time in.
Success can only happen when we admit our mistakes, learn from them, and create a climate where it is in a certain sense, 'safe' to fail.Matthew Syed, Black Box Thinking
📚 Book tip! 📚
Still not convinced failing is best way to learn? We highly recommend 'Black Box Thinking' from Matthew Syed.

an extended squirrel clan hangs out in our yard, a small animal paradise; 10K square feet of wild trees, each one bears edible fruit and there's clean running water. there's an opposum too but she's like a crazy bag lady that lives under a bridge and comes out only to lick sap then run away when anyone sees her. she lives in the grapevine i think.
anyways the squirrels are social so they get and like and give attention.
last year it was the scrub jays that i got to do tricks for peanuts (impaled on the ends of palm leaves so they had to hover, etc). they would be so pleased they'd come show me the nut when the got it. they all left when i got friendly to the squirrels because they hate the squirrels for some reason. whatever.
i made up a game with the yogurt container they steal nuts from. put a walnut under the container. they're looking 180 degrees for predators, not always paying attention to me directly, they seem to miss "obvious" cues. but when they pay attention they seem to have good detailed (binocular) vision.
first intro failed (intro no go), i think. fairly sure it knew where the nut was, but it came in to get one from me directly. that's not dumb, that's smart -- it usually works, it's the social solution (social animals are smarter and get smarter faster since they share knowledge). it clearly did not know how to get the nut or quite 'where' it was, though certainly they hide and find things themselves, so the fundamental concept of 'inside' or 'under' isn't the problem.
(the trash can was where the yogurt container was; the only container that
can stop them.) the stump is where s/he watches me from, and will wait a
surprisingly long time (umm, longer than my attention span).
the second intro went better. i guess. obvoously they arte not starving and
seem to just like hanging out and getting attention.
what is that funny pose though? probably just what it looks like.
1st real try, where i just set it up and walked inside. no coaching/attention, s/he pushed the container, apparently randomly,
container gets stuck, goes over, nut.
2nd try seemed at first more random pushing, but multiple times
it stops and sniffs the (upward) container bottom. implying some
awareness or exploration of it's structure. eventually, nut.
3rd try... pushing again, but it looks like intent to drive it into
the box (the pause, nose lift, push to it's right), then up against the box,
the right paw pushes the container over. nut.
4th try and all subsequent: tipped over from the top first time every time
next morning too, push over immediately.
these two always come at the same time. i'm fairly sure it's the same two; one is very friendly, jumpy and climbs right up on me; the other is much more reticent. all members of the clan come for nuts, and often chase others away with a loud chatter noise, this pair included. but here they cooperate.
i think they think this is funny. when i ignore them (working on car, etc) they climb up on me as i ignore them, when i look they zoom down, dance, or climb back up. nut. the concept of "pocket" was easy to learn; their eyesight must be good because they try to 'open' seams and folds too.
i find them very difficult to tell apart visually, but their personalities are very distinct. sexing is easy, with their novelty-oversizey genitalia.
most mornings this one (or a few) come to the door, "excuse me sir the bird
feeder is empty".
unless i'm vigilant, they come into my lab to find the nuts. they often do google searches or play music.

The Rahway Valley Railroad (RVRR) was a short-line railroad in the Northeastern United States which connected the Lehigh Valley Railroad in Roselle Park and the Central Railroad of New Jersey in Cranford and with the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western in Summit.
Operating over a span of 95 years (1897–1992) in Union County, New Jersey, in its prime it was one of the most successful shortline railroads in U.S. history, turning a profit during the Great Depression. During its lifetime, the RVRR was instrumental in the development of Kenilworth (site of its headquarters) as well as Union Township, Springfield and other towns along its route.
Later years saw traffic decline; by the mid-1980s the line could no longer afford to purchase liability insurance. The RVRR was foreclosed on and sold to the Delaware Otsego Corporation which did little to revitalize the nearly 90-year-old line. Traffic continued to decline until service ended in 1992, with a single customer remaining.
As an interesting footnote, Walter M. Matuch of RMT, then a college student, worked on the RV as a brakeman in the late 1960s.
The RV had 2 GE 70 ton diesels, one red and one green, They alternated on the 5 day week schedule.
The RV 'Superman inspired' logo was adopted in the early 1980's when Bernie Cahill, President of the RV, leased a large group of new boxcars from ITEL Rail Corp. These cars traveled over the USA's rail system but were not able to generate enough revenue to save the RV. The RV is totally abandoned.
This RMT version is the only known ready-to-run variation of this logo on a red O-gauge 3-rail boxcar.
Each car has a different roadNUMBER so you can run multiple RAHWAY VALLEY box cars in your train.

Scuba Diving Anguilla
Anguilla's turquoise waters boast seven marine parks. Dive sites include wreck dives, shore dives, mini walls, night dives and heritage diving.
Submerged in decades of rich history and teeming with exciting local culture, Anguilla is a self-governing overseas territory. It is one of the most northerly of the Leeward Islands, lying east of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and directly north of Saint Martin. The territory consists of the main island of Anguilla itself, approximately 16 miles (26 km) long by 3 miles (5 km) wide at its widest point, together with a number of much smaller islands and cays with no permanent population. The island's capital is The Valley. The total land area of the territory is 35 square miles (90 km2). Its main industries are tourism, offshore incorporation and management, offshore banking, captive insurance and fishing.
English is the official language of the territory, which consists of the main island plus a number of smaller islands that have no permanent population.
It is famous for it's beaches and beautiful white sand. Including the outer islands, there are at least 33 beaches available to be explored and enjoyed, with white, powdery sand that stretches for miles. All of Anguilla's beaches are public, uncrowded and unspoiled. Every cove, bay and stretch of sand is marked by unique characteristics, such as rock and coral formations and picturesque tropical plants.
Scuba diving in Anguilla is generally easy. Good, typical Caribbean reefs are close in. Fish populations and frequency are typical of the eastern Caribbean, including turtle and conch.
Anguilla's turquoise waters boast seven marine parks: Dog Island, Prickley Pear, Seal Island Reef System, Little Bay, Sandy Island, Shoal Bay Harbour Reef System and Stoney Bay Marine Park. Dive sites include wreck dives, shore dives, mini wall dives, night dives and heritage diving. Anguilla is known for its intentionally sunk shipwrecks. The island is home to a truly unique attraction, a 960-ton Spanish galleon, El Buen Consejo, which rests on the ocean floor with its cannons and cargo serving as a silent testament to the Caribbean's turbulent past. Anguilla also boasts a healthy double reef system, where a wide variety of corals flourish.
El Buen Consejo – a 960-ton Spanish galleon that rests on the ocean floor with her cannons and cargo. It was sunk off the southeast coast of Anguilla on July 8th, 1772 on its way to the New World. Divers can still see the ships' cannons, anchors and devotional medals now embedded in the coral on the ocean floor.
Stoney Bay Marine Park – an award-winning underwater park open to divers.
Scrub Island, at the eastern end of Anguilla, is also a good place for shark spotting!
Other dives of particular interest include the night dive at Little Bay with excellent macrophoto potential.
The Steps at Scrub Island offers dramatic underwater rock formations including huge boulders and a dramatic five-foot arch — also excellent for underwater photography.
OOSTERDIEP – "MV Oosterdiep" was built in 1957 in the Netherlands. In 1990 she drift aground on a shoal at the south west entrance to Road Bay Harbour. After stripped by a salvage company she was hauled off and deliberately sunk north west of Meads Bay in 75 feet of water. The ship is 150ft. long and on a sandy bottom. In the sand you can see hundreds of garden eels. There is a car wreck next to ship where we often see a spotted moray eel. the ship is full with "cleaner stations" where you can find pederson cleaner shrimps, banded coral shrimps and arrow crabs busy at work. Also fire worms are found here as well as on all the wrecks. Schools of blue tang, snappers, jacks etc.
SARAH – The wreck of the MV "Sarah" was wrecked in 1984 during hurricane "Klaus" and was sunk intentionally in 1990. This steel vessel, is upright and intact, resting on the sandy bottom. The top of the vessel is found in 40 feet of water, while the bottom sits in 80 feet, making it the deepest of the wreck dives. Not only is it the deepest wreck, but also the largest one, being around 250 feet long.
IDA MARIA – The "MV Ida Maria" was wrecked in 1984 during hurricane "Klaus". Built sometime around World War One in the United Kingdom, from 1977 she was used as a general cargo ship (120 feet long) from Trinidad to Puerto Rico and all the islands in between. After hurricane "Klaus" she was still afloat but had dragged down on her anchor chains. She was also deliberately sunk on a reef between Sandy Island and the beginning of "the deep". It is lying on a reef which is worth exploring too.
CATHELEY H – This boat, which was at the time was used to burn wood, accidentally caught fire and was deliberately sunk in 1993 in 50 feet of water. The "Cathely H" is upright and semi intact, there is a cargo cabin at one end, but some of it is disintegrating. During October and November, before high season starts, the wreck is full of spiny caribbean lobsters. Frequently you will see an octopus, The boat is about 100 feet long and resting in the sand, rays are usually seen around the wreck.
COMMERCE – Wrecked in 1984 during hurricane "Klaus". Sunk in 1986, it is one of the nine wrecks sunk intentionally to create artificial reef. About 150 feet long, the "Commerce" is laying on a slope 60ft. to 80ft. On the flat deck there is assorted cargo, including old cars, a broken crane and machine parts. The propeller at the stern is still intact. Observe the large lobsters hiding in the side of the ship. Explore the reef which is touching the bow of the wreck, which is full of schooling fish.
ANGUILLITA – At the west of Anguilla there is a little island called Anguillita. It consists of "mini walls" where you will find lobsters, moray eels and cleaner stations. Frequently we see a school of large tarpon. In sandy area we frequently see Southern Stingrays and Eagle Rays. Max. depth 60ft.
FRENCHMAN REEF – West of Anguilla there is Bedham Bay where we find a large reef called Frenchman Reef. It is a reef with different rock formations soft and hard corals. There are a lot of ledges where you can find a nurse shark taking a nap. Stingrays, lobsters and barracuda are seen there. Max. depth 50ft.
BLOWING ROCK – South west of Anguilla, you will see Blowing Rock. This is a shallow dive, max. 40ft. Rock formations, elk horn coral, green/yellow/pink anemones and there is a cave as well. Because there is a current we can see a school of barracuda, occasionally a reef shark and nurse sharks. Turtles like to hang out there as well. You can also find Schools of grunts, lobsters and spotted moray eels there.
OOSTERREEF – Next to the Oosterdiep wreck is a slope. If you go north east you have Oosterreef if you go south it is called Deep South. Max. depth is 70ft. In the sand check for Southern Stingrays. In the reef we will see lobsters, moray eels, turtles and barracuda.
SANDY DEEP – Around Sandy Island there are several dive sites. Sandy Deep is a slope, max 60ft, which is full with sea fans and different types of sponges. Stingrays, turtles, margates, lobsters.
SANDY REEF – On the north side of Sandy Island you will find Sandy Reef, max depth 60ft. This is a slope where you find lobsters, stingrays. moray eels and occasionally a spotted eagle ray.
DOG ISLAND – Dog Island consists of 2 dive sites: West Cay and Devil's Wall, both at 90 ft. The region spots splendid collections of both hard and soft corals. Whenever rays of light touch the walls, shades of deep red and blue lavender are revealed, so carrying a dive light is seldom necessary, but bring one anyway, there are all kinds of small, colorful critters in the grotto's darker recess. Adding to that, several large tarpon, barracudas or sharks are likely to appear like ghostly apparitions. Because of it's remoteness, the reefs and walls here are not visited frequently thus offering near virgin diving.

Charting a course for trade and economic integration in the Asia-Pacific
In this report by the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI), an independent trade Commission –composed of seven senior trade experts from across the Asia-Pacific– makes a number of pragmatic recommendations. These recommendations include promote high standards and inclusiveness in trade agreements, drive forward regional economic integration, build support for trade agreements by better communicating their benefits, and work with multilateral fora to help assuage the concerns of those who fear being disenfranchised by trade and globalization.
This report was sponsored by the Hinrich Foundation.
