Before we dive into this week's episode of Arrow, I feel it necessary to give a mini summary of this week's episode of The Flash, because Felicity and Ray popped over to Central City for a spin. It seems that The CW mucked up the airing order a bit, because I do believe the episode of The Flash takes place before last week's episode of Arrow. Because Felicity and Ray are hunky dory, being adorkable all over Star Labs.
In fact, while they both ramble their way in and out of accidental innuendos, Caitlin declares, "There's two of them," because, truly, they are similar in their weirdness. However, not everyone welcomes them with open smiles, causing Felicity to ask Barry why he's being all broody; that's Oliver's gig.
While the Starling City duo is there, an army of killer bees with unnaturally specific targets and deathly venom becomes an immediate threat. Felicity tells Barry to "beeee careful" because she's the cutest and instructs him not to die. Like most of the men in her life, he doesn't listen and gets pretty dead, but luckily his suit has the ability to do whatever he needs it to do in the exact moment he needs it and he came back to life.
Other point of interest is when Felicity, Ray, Barry, Iris, and Iris's Boyfriend go on a five-way date and Felicity basically hits on Iris.
Despite Barry's resistance, Felicity eventually convinces him to let her help, and she uses her superskills to hack the bees to death. (They ended up being robot bees, controlled by a cute but evil scientist who was really into bee-themed puns.) She also manages to convince Barry that Caitlin and Cisco are good guys, because she is the best one.
Relevant of nothing, one of my favorite things about Felicity is her inability to keep the things she thinks from flying out of her mouth, like when she told Caitlin that dating Ray is like dating Barry in Oliver's body.
All in all it was a fun episode, and if you're watching Arrow but aren't watching The Flash, you're doing it wrong.
And now for the main attraction!
Previously on Arrow, Ra's al Ghul offered Oliver his position as Demon's Head but by "offered," I mean "asked politely but then aggressively sabotaged his life to try to force him to say yes." And because of these shenanigans, Oliver got arrested, but Roy stepped in and "confessed" to being the Arrow to take Oliver's place behind bars.
Because Starling City isn't experiencing enough chaos at the moment, a gentleman with laser beams for eyes decides to stroll in and start robbing banks. He almost looks like he could be related to the Twelfth Doctor, excepting the glowing red eyes of course.
Across town, Lance marches Oliver past a group of picketers and into the station, telling Oliver that he can't let an adorable ex-street rat take the fall for his vigilantism, and Oliver says he doesn't intend to. But before he can sign a confession, Laurel storms in saying that the DA ordered Oliver be released, because she won't let her father get away with his lunacy.
"Do not besmirch the Lance name, dad!"
At Palmer Tech, Ray goes in to see Felicity and starts awkwardly trying to apologize for using the "L" word so soon, claiming he just meant love like luv not love like LOVE, you know? He rambles on a bit and then leaves her before she can ramble back, but Felicity looks conflicted at best.
"I can't help that I'm so popular."
Oliver goes to visit Roy in prison and Roy tries his hardest to insist he's okay. He's felt like he needed to be punished since he found out he killed that cop, and somehow this just feels right; he's serving his time and he's helping a friend, all in one go. He promises he's going to be just fine.
Oliver's next stop is to see Thea and she's relieved to hear that Oliver is very anti-Roy in jail and that it wasn't his idea in the first place. Oliver's ready to suit up and get him out, but Felicity says they have a more pressing matter at hand: There's a metahuman in Starling City. Oliver sends Felicity to call Star Labs to see if they know anything about them. (See, you should be watching both shows.)
Captain Lance interrupts this save-the-world party with a SWAT team, a warrant, and a bad attitude. Team Arrow watches despondently as Lance and his men tear apart the Arrow Cave, like an addict hunting down another hit. I guess that makes sense though, doesn't it? When Sara died the first time, Lance turned to alcohol, an addiction he could drown his pain in. He's sober now, but he's grieving again, so it's not that surprising that he's becoming almost manic in his determination to take down the Arrow. This is his new addiction, his new outlet for his pain.
But Felicity is too smart to let Lance win that easily, so she and Diggle had wiped the place clean of all fingerprints besides Roy's.
Lance shakes with rage but tells them he'll be ready to pounce as soon as they make a mistake.
Oliver too is becoming manic, but it's because he's itching to get Roy out of jail. Every minute Roy is behind bars because of Oliver is like a stone placed on his chest. Since he can't help Roy, he's ready to go stop the metahuman, but Diggle reminds him that he can't really do that either. Oliver tells Felicity to call Barry, but Barry is dealing with his own stuff right now, so Oliver says they have to ask Ray instead. And asking Ray to help is like asking a puppy if he wants to go on a walk.

Master of Public Administration (MPA)
I graduated from the Terry College in Spring of 2015 with a BBA in Marketing. I now work for my alma mater in Student Affairs, assisting with the admissions process and acting as the first point of contact for current and perspective UGA students who are interested in the Terry College of Business. I genuinely enjoy working for the University of Georgia. I appreciate the opportunity to represent my school while assisting students in some of the most important decisions in their lives. I've completed my certificate in academic advising and hope to become an advisor in the near future. I am currently working to complete the diversity certificate – it has been very eye-opening so far. There is much to learn and understand about the hot-topic button of diversity. I hope to use what I've learned so far here in all areas that I touch at UGA.

APEX Insight: Robots, like machines, were designed to perform repetitive tasks, but as they evolve, so does their understanding of humans – and our understanding of them.
We tend to think of machines and humans as opposites, unlikely bedfellows at best. One: hard, plastic and unfeeling. The other: soft, supple and empathetic. The last of these qualities is at the core of what many of us think it means to be human – we care.
But feelings aren't just signs of human depth; they're tools, mental shortcuts, that inform and guide our behavior, explains Christopher Noessel, global design practice lead, Travel and Transportation, IBM. "Disgust, for example, saves us from having to perform a scientific test on whether a given thing is toxic. It's faster when we can just 'go with our gut,' and steer clear," he says. "Another emotion, fear, helps us put aside other concerns to prioritize our physical well-being."
"We need to find a way for robots to feel when they're in one of those gray areas, and quickly, gracefully exit and pass over control to the right human being." — Christopher Noessel, IBM
Artificial intelligence (AI), on the other hand, simply doesn't need emotional cues to do many of the things that humans do. "A robot can access the entirety of toxicology at a moment's notice to assess a substance's toxicity, or continually run predictive algorithms to stay ahead of threats," Noessel says. But even with big data, robots aren't yet able to exercise empathy and handle ethical situations as a human would. "We need to find a way for robots to feel when they're in one of those gray areas, and quickly, gracefully exit and pass over control to the right human being," he says.
Until machines can intuitively perform human intellectual tasks, or at least know when to pass them on, they'll likely continue to perform more repetitive tasks, like carrying baggage, processing check-ins and navigating travelers through sinuous airport terminals. Kevin Kajitani, an intrapreneur at the Digital Design Lab of All Nippon Airways (ANA), says the Japanese airline is deploying Pepper, SoftBank's emotionally intelligent humanoid robot, in areas in airports where travelers often make wrong turns – a task previously conducted by a human. "All day, there was someone just standing there, saying, 'Go this way if you have a connecting flight.' That's not something a human does very well; they won't be satisfied with their job," he says. "But a robot can do that all day long and be completely 'happy.'"
One argument for the restriction of AI to production-heavy and information-processing jobs is that robots lack the ability to adequately perceive social, cultural and emotional nuances. But this isn't completely true, says Junichi Shimizu, project leader of Haneda Airports' robotization project. AI can be programmed to read subtle cultural cues such as the difference between a bow signifying "thank you" and one meaning "I'm sorry," Kajitani explains. "The facial expressions, muscle movements, and speed and angle of the bow can be learned by AI and other robots."
Noessel agrees, explaining that a cross-culture video corpus of expressions and their meanings could plausibly be built for robots to assess cultural norms, predict emotions and adjust behavior accordingly. "I think IBM Watson APIs [application programming interfaces] will be used to create such a system," he says. "We are already able to use those APIs to detect emotions in written text or spoken language and either modify a system's response or alert a customer service representative about it."
Machines may, as of yet, be unable to solve issues that rank high on the emotional spectrum, but they can nonetheless help customer service agents care "better"– if given the opportunity. In addition to taking on airport functions that can be automated, AI – when seen as a way of extending human capabilities rather than replacing them – can empower humans with a deeper understanding of the passenger experience and the means to improve it.
This type of more collaborative human-robot relationship model is firmly in place in Japan, where robots have long been perceived as human aids, not opposites. There are several reasons why Japanese culture might embrace robots more than American culture, says Kate Darling, self-described "Mistress of Machines" and a research specialist at the MIT Media Lab. "Animism doesn't distinguish between living and non-living the way that Western religions do, so the belief that objects can have souls may make it easier to accept robots and, in particular, robots created in the image of something lifelike."
Indeed, more-humanoid airport robots like recently upgraded EMIEW3 – now equipped with active-learning dialogue-data-based AI technology – and Pepper hail from Japan-based Hitachi and SoftBank, respectively. And San Jose International Airport's dancing humanoid robots, named Norma, Amelia and Piper, were the brainchildren of Future Robot, a robotics firm based in South Korea. Animistic beliefs are more prevalent in South Korea than they are in the US, where seeing an inanimate object imbued with humanness can be unsettling.
"We have to decide culturally if we want things that don't have emotions to exhibit fake ones," Noessel says. "I'd want to test that directly with travelers, but my gut says that it can feel creepy and upsetting when the robot is getting something wrong."
In Japanese culture, robotics has long been tied to the field of psychology, perhaps making it easier for people to be more accepting of machines that perform human intellect and emotion. "For example, Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro talks about how to get people on the receiving end to engage with the robot. It's very deep into human psychology and interaction user interface," Kajitani says. Kajitani's colleague, Akira Fukabori, intrapreneur, Market Communication, ANA, agrees, saying this focus on the human-robot relationship is "really Japanese."
"Astro Boy is a popular reference in Japan and is a positive story about a robot, whereas Western science fiction has tended more toward dystopian stories of robots taking over." — Kate Darling, MIT Media Lab
Darling adds that the representation of robots in Japanese science fiction and pop culture may be another reason why the country is more amenable to the presence of android helpers. "Astro Boy is a popular reference in Japan and is a positive story about a robot, whereas Western science fiction has tended more toward dystopian stories of robots taking over," she says.
According to Shimizu, this dichotomy also plays out in the physical attributes of robots being used in Japan versus those in the US. Talking about Caiba, one of the concierge robots currently being deployed in Tokyo's Haneda Airport, he says, "It's compact and cute, and has cute little features … It's more like a stuffed animal, instead of the AI in the US, which are more serious, more robotic, harder and colder."
Cultural inculcation and cute design aside, nothing beats the stimulus that comes from sheer necessity. Japan's population of 127 million is forecast to shrink by one-third in the next 50 years, with the number of over-64-year-olds – currently estimated at 25 percent – expected to reach 38 percent, according to a recent government report. Kajitani explains that as a result, the younger working population is going to have to output twice as much as the current generation. "I don't think the technology is seen as so scary in Japan because it is so necessary in that culture right now. We just don't have enough people."
An analog to Japan's labor market decline can be seen, albeit at a smaller scale, in the aviation industry's impending worldwide pilot shortage: Boeing predicts the industry will require 637,000 pilots in the next 20 years, with industry growth projected at 4.8 percent per year. As a solution, the aerospace manufacturer has proposed a pilotless jetliner, which it says will be tested in a simulator by the end of this year and in a flying test bed as early as next. According to Boeing, the project will expand upon existing autonomous flight management systems by tackling challenges related to taxiing, incorporating aircraft into airspace and mitigating unplanned events – tasks that pilots usually intervene in.
"I don't think the technology is seen as so scary in Japan because it is so necessary in that culture right now. We just don't have enough people." — Kevin Kajitani, All Nippon Airways
Though the technology is there, travelers aren't necessarily ready to embrace it. A recent study by Swiss investment bank UBS found that while pilotless airplanes would save airlines an estimated $35 billion a year and lead to significantly reduced airfares for travelers, 54 percent of the 8,000 people surveyed said they would refuse to travel in a pilotless aircraft. "This lack of trust," Noessel says, "is one of the reasons not to eliminate humans from systems."
One of the main reasons we trust complete strangers with our lives more than we do equally proficient AI is we feel that we can relate, Noessel says: We trust that they operate with a similar moral compass and according to similar principles of self-preservation. "I trust the pilot at the front of the plane because I trust that pilot wants to get herself safe and sound to our destination, too," Noessel says.
But trust can be built over time. "One of the ways we build trust in people is by giving them low-stakes tasks, seeing them perform them correctly, and seeing them recover from mistakes many times," Noessel says. "So, some of the trust issues will be resolved generationally, as people experience robots successfully navigating higher-and-higher-stake tasks." Having won human trust on repetitive activities, machines capable of detecting facial expressions, emotional states and other sociocultural nuances are entering the scene, thereby reducing the distinction between help from a robotic hand and that ever-elusive human touch.

Name: Jacky
Location: Arlington, WA
Date_of_Sighting: Jan. 22, 1996
Time_of_Sighting: 7:00-8:00 P.M.
Hello. My name is Jacky. For the past few years I have been
interested in extraterrestrial life, government conspiracies,
and other
things of the unknown. I do know this, however, on the night
Jan. 22, 1996, my son was abducted, and not by a person or thing
this planet. My story goes as follows:
It was around 7 or 8 at night and my seven month-old child,
fell asleep in my arms while I was in the middle of watching
TV My
husband had left for work about an hour earlier. I proceeded
to put Joshua in his crib. After placing him in his crib, I went
downstairs. While watching TV, I saw many strange blue light
from outside. I just guessed it was lightening and thought of
it as
nothing. Not too long after I saw the lights, I heard strange
on the baby monitor. I also heard creaking in the ceiling as
if someone
was upstairs. The noises on the monitor are hard to describe.
It was
coughing or choking-like sounds. These bizarre noises sent chills
my spine. I rushed upstairs to see Joshua his crib empty and
window broken and glass shards every where, though I heard no
sound of
glass shattering on the monitor. I then heard a very loud thunderous
sound that lasted about ten seconds, followed by many light flashes.
A month later I was tried for the murder of my son and pleaded
There is still an investigation going on, but I know no new evidence
will ever show up.

Entry Door Repair
Squeaks and drafts can be repaired by the do-it-yourselfer.
Is there any doorway in your home that is more important than your front door? The entry doors of your home welcome your guests, protect your home's interior from the elements, and provide added beauty to the exterior of your home. However, as time goes by your entry door may begin to function improperly. There are several reasons why your door may not be working as designed, such as years of use and abuse, or your home settling and causing the door to malfunction. Before you consider installing a replacement entry door, there are a few things you can try. Depending on your level of skill, and your comfort level, you may be able to fix your door yourself and save some money.
Is your entry door sticking when you open it? A couple of different remedies may be tried to alleviate the problem. Try cleaning your door hinges. Also, clean the edges of the door that fit into the door frame. If this does not solve the problem, try adjusting the door hinges. Also, if your door is made of wood, you can sand the edges to create a better fit within the frame that will result in smoother operation.
If your door is squeaking when it is being opened and closed, apply lubricant to the hinges. This will eliminate the sound, and also provide easier opening and closing of the door. Finally, if you feel that air is infiltrating your home through the perimeter of your doorframe, you can eliminate the draft and save on heating and cooling by re-caulking the frame, and applying new weather stripping.
If you find that these solutions don't work for you, then contact the professional entry door technicians at Preferred Window and Door in Lynwood, Illinois. They have been repairing and installing new entry doors in Lansing, IL, the southern Chicago suburbs and N.W. Indiana since 1994. Click to learn more about entry doors or call us at (708) 895-3667.

Online advertising subsidizes a majority of the "free" services on the Web. Yet many find this approach intrusive and annoying, resorting to adblockers to get rid of ads chasing them all over the Web. A majority of those using an adblocker tool are familiar with messages asking them to either disable their adblocker or to consider supporting the host Web site via a donation or subscription. This is a recent development in the ongoing adblocking arms race which we have explored in our recent report, "Adblocking and Counter Blocking: A Slice of the Arms Race" [1]. For our study, we used popular adblockers, trawled the Web and analyzed some of the most popular sites to uncover how many are using anti-adblockers. Our preliminary analysis found that anti-adblockers come from a small number of providers, are widely used, and that adblockers also often block anti-adblockers.

text: All right! Week Three here we go! Today it was raining right before program started so we were hesitant to go right away to the lake but it ended up being a great day. We started off with the game Raccoon Steals Donut in which the kids are racoons working together to steal a certain item and bring it back to their base. A lot of them already knew it and were eager to play albeit having to revise their group strategy several times. Then we circled each other, taking turns jumping in the middle and shouting what we were grateful for. Rain, Sun, Minecraft! Afterwords, Jamie started teaching some of us how to make Pawakas which are essentially handmade leather medicine bags for safekeeping special items. A few of the kids were really excited and eagerly selected which color leather scraps to use. Jamie then helped them punch holes around the edges so that they can begin to sew them together next week. Some of the other children were really fascinated with the crates they have on campus and began building lots of intricate forts and towers together. They even built some as tall as a few of the Pine Trees next to the playground. Then we went to the park and managed to actually get right next to the lake where inevitably deep exploration of the land ensued. Grasshoppers were caught, mud was drawn on faces, cattails were harvested, tracks investigated, seed rattles shaken. It was a great time and the kids really shifted their energy to being more grounded and present. Hopefully you have good washing machines or hoses because some of the kids got fairly muddy, mostly accidentally from harvesting cattails. However, mud is one of the most fun things there is so you can rest assured we all had a great time :) Looking forward to next week to keep working on our projects and doing more exploration of the land!

To say that my (hopefully) last training stint at Fort Benning went worse than expected would be an understatement. After two trips to the hospital, weeks spent following up at the medical center, and countless sticks for lab draws, I am in the process of clearing out from ABOLC and returning to Minnesota 3 months too soon.
This long charade began on Friday, July 13 (fitting), when we conducted our first ruck march of ABOLC. Having already spent 12 weeks at Benning during OCS and having performed four separate 3, 6, 9, and 12 mile ruck marches with little issue, looking back I feel like I may have underprepared thinking our first 3 mile would be a breeze. To say weather in Georgia is a 180 from summer to winter would also be a massive understatement. Essentially the entire month of July was 85-95 degree weather from dawn til dusk, and on this particular ruck morning, I could tell as I was bringing my ruck out to my vehicle to head to squadron that the humidity was killer. Not only that, but simply the pace of the ruck was something I was not quite prepared for, and being a 62 inch female in the fifth out of six platoons, I spent the majority of the back half of the route shuffling to keep up. I have always been adamant about drinking enough water throughout the ruck itself, and never felt like I was physically overheating, just that I was never able to catch my breath and caused myself anxiety over that.
Long story short, I ended up falling out near the end of the ruck (embarrassing, I know), and being taken to the emergency room and diagnosed with mild heat exhaustion. I sat in the ER for about three hours while they pumped me with fluids and sent me on my way. Not a big deal. People recover from it all the time, and at this point, my labs were slightly elevated but nothing to be too concerned about and I had barely missed any training. I went to our classroom instruction that afternoon and spent the rest of the weekend doing virtually nothing. The following Monday was I told to follow up at the Harmony Church TMC (Troop Medical Center) with one of their providers where they would re-draw labs and make sure things were trending downward.
I would come to learn the importance of creatine kinase (CK) labs in upcoming weeks. When my labs were drawn at the ER on the 13th, my CK level was 213 which was just slightly above normal. I began my journey with Lieutenant Colonel Davis at the TMC, a huge man with a booming voice and bright smile–a silver lining to this entire experience. The rest of that week I was put on my first ever profile (a title I was hoping to carry with me, well, forever), where I could do no PT at all. Unfortunately, that week was the first week we started doing actual hands-on work with the Abrams. We spent every day, all day at the motor pool, and Thursday, July 19 we were to take the ABOLC HPDT (high physical demands test), involving a random assortment of physical assessments including carrying/transferring tank training rounds (those bad boys weighed probably ~60 lb?), grenade throwing, simulating lifting a casualty out of a tank, etc., all in full kit including IOTV, ACH, et al.
Feeling pretty good, I asked cadre if I could attempt the HPDT as this was the first major task I was going to face falling behind in. To say things went awful was ALSO an understatement (I'm sensing a pattern here…). Our platoon began with the simulation of transferring training rounds from storage to gun tube, and aside from the movements being awkward and cramped, I simply wore down extremely quickly. It definitely would have been a challenge for me without having been a heat cat the week prior, but I think it would have been doable. Instead, I spent five minutes attempting the motions before actually being tested, wearing myself down harder and harder to the point where I could barely catch my breath again and ultimately not being able to test.
Throughout the entire process, cadre were more than willing to work with me to catch up on things I had missed. This was the first, and should have been the last instance, of trying to climb back into the saddle and do everything everyone else was doing before I was ready. However, the following Monday (the first day I was 'cleared' to START doing PT) was the straw that broke the camel's back.
The second phase of the heat exhaustion profile was to start doing bare minimum PT–I wasn't supposed to be doing troop PT yet and was limited to walking and light weight work. I tricked myself into thinking everything was A-okay again just because I was feeling good. That morning's PT was a modified Murph (when I say modified, I mean really modified), where we ran one mile, did 25 pull ups, 75 push ups, 100 air squats, and finished by running one more mile. I went into the first mile telling myself I wasn't going to go full out, however ended up running faster than I would have liked simply because it's hard to slow the pace down when everyone around you is going full speed. The first mile was a bit of a challenge but not too bad, and then proceeded to the full body exercises. I finished them all (with some help on the pull ups obviously…I suck at pull ups), and began feeling the repercussions. I did what I could to take extra water breaks and not wear myself down too quickly, and knew I was the last one to start the second mile. At that point, I was hurting. Running absolutely has never, and will never be, my strong suit, but for God's sake, an APFT is two miles, and I was majorly struggling the second mile.
I was to follow up at the TMC the following Tuesday morning. Even though PT was a challenge the day prior, I woke up feeling pretty good again, and figured I was going to have to go out of my way to push myself to get back to normal. Boyyyy, was I wrong. My CK levels on Tuesday were over 5,000 and AST/SLT levels (indicative of liver function) were also slightly elevated at 95/32. Looking back, I am slightly surprised I wasn't put on bedrest, but instead allowed to go to the motor pool so long as I stayed in a "cool environment". Well…that wasn't exactly going to happen at the motor pool, but the fear of already starting to fall further and further behind in training took over and I did everything everyone else was doing–including sitting in a tank for hours outside in 95 degrees.
During most of these TMC follow ups, I wasted hours and hours of my life in a bed being given fluids and given hope that this was the highest my CK levels were going to be, to follow up in a few days unless I felt worse. Tuesday afternoon, after feeling awesome in the morning, it was all downhill. It became harder and harder to haul myself out of the gunner's hatch in the Abrams, and I felt massively fatigued. When I got home that evening, my arms and shoulders were so sore that I couldn't lift them to brush my hair without significant pain. The next morning was when the leg pain and back pain began to start.
For those that are unaware (as I was before this all happened), the classic triad of pain in rhabdomyolysis is the shoulders, lower back, and thighs. Rhabdomyolysis can happen as a result of a variation of events including muscle trauma, drug usage, and (ahem) extreme physical activity. In short, rhabdo (per WebMD) is extreme muscle breakdown, which releases myoglobin into the bloodstream. The problem is that, depending on the severity of muscle breakdown, the kidneys have to filter all this myoglobin out and can ultimately lead to renal failure if it gets too out of the control.
Wednesday morning, feeling as awful as I did, I went back to sick call at TMC to see my 'ol friend LTC Davis, where my CK levels were over 14,000 and AST/ALT 196/63. While I spent another four hours being given fluids, LTC Davis spent that time calling hospital staff to see if I needed to be admitted. I was sent home and placed on bedrest, to follow up at sick call on Thursday where I was told if my CK levels were the same or lower I would be hospital-free, however if they had continued to rise I would be admitted to Martin Army Hospital on base.
Thursday morning arrived and my CK levels had risen to over 30,000. By Thursday, the pain in my arms and legs had slightly subsided and I felt more pain starting in my back (however, I'm convinced laying in bed for multiple hours at a time everyday didn't help). I was admitted Thursday morning where I was told my CK levels had peaked at 32,450 and AST/ALT at 429/118, indicating some liver damage (but Dr. says good thing the liver regenerates itself so we can all continue to drink so I guess I'm fine). I was given around the clock fluids from Thursday morning to Saturday afternoon when I was released, with labs drawn every six hours (not to mention having to get up to pee every hour and a half). And with that, my stay at ABOLC had virtually come to a close. Because I am National Guard, I am being sent home (eventually) and will have to be cleared to come back at some point in the future.
I want to make it clear that I'm not looking for advice nor sympathy with this tale. I am writing it because this nonsense happens all too often. Another female from a prior class was inserted into our cycle before I was ever dropped because she also ended up with rhabdo. If there are any takeaways for those that are starting any military training:
- Heat injuries are no joke. I actually don't recall any heat injuries during basic training at Fort Leonard Wood despite starting training in August. And because I attended OCS in the fall/winter, heat injuries weren't a concern and we never faced any cold weather injuries either. For the love of God, follow the doctor's orders. Profiles are there for a reason, and just because you feel okay does not mean your body is ready to jump back into training.
- To follow up on that, profiles are also not a joke. I don't think virtually anyone was on profile during OCS. And during basic training, the unspoken rule was that if you went to sick call for any reason, you were put on a profile, and at the point it become a revolving door of being on profile. For that reason, I felt like being on a heat exhaustion profile was a sign of weakness and like I was dramatizing what had happened. Well sure shit, Sherlock. My body WAS weak. And it needed time to rest. But that didn't make ME weak. I guess I would just really urge people to take care of themselves while they have the option to. If that meant I couldn't participate in PT for a month with my class because I needed to ease myself back into it, that's what needed to happen, because the short duration of a heat exhaustion profile turned into a multiple month long rhabdo profile that sends me home.
- Listen to the people that matter. Doctors matter. LTC Davis mattered. The cadre, classmates, and other assorted people that continually told me that drinking more water was going to solve all of my problems didn't know shit about it. I don't know how many times I was lectured on wearing two pairs of socks on that ruck (for the record, every single day of my military career I have worn two pairs of socks while wearing combat boots. Just because Sergeant Stuffy and 2LT Joe Schmo really think one pair of socks was the answer to my prayers….I do not, and never will care. And also! I didn't ask for your advice in the first place!). So take your time, do what your providers tell you to do, do what your BODY tells you to do, and fuck the rest.
That's all I got. See you soon, Minnesota.

Hi, this is my current PC config:
AMD FX-4100 4x3,6 GHZ 12MB CACHE
RAM 8GB 667MHz ( DDR3-1333 / PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM UDIMM )
Bandit Power ATX-450W
SSD Samsung SSD Evo 850 250GB
Could anybody pint me if this parts ar good to replace in my PC:
Intel Core i5-4570
SilentiumPC Spartan 3 LT HE1012
ATX SilentiumPC 500W Vero L2 Bronze
My budget is about 300$
Thanks in advance!
The i5-4570 is a 4th Gen CPU from around 2013. The motherboard isn't overclockable plus it only has 2 memory slots. The DDR3-1333 is "slow" RAM for the i5 & it was slow for the FX CPU too. What about a graphics card? Are you gonna stick with the outdated GT520??
My suggestion is to just replace the crappy Bandit 450W PSU, install a decent graphics card, then ride it out for a while. Build a modern PC when you have enough money to do it right.
message edited by riider
I agree with riider in that your money would be better spent on a GTX1050 or GTX1050Ti, a Corsair 500W power supply and possibly faster memory. As an alternative, you can look in your BIOS and see if there is an XMP setting for your memory, if there is it could OC the memory up to DDR3-1600MHz and that would save you money for the future. The power supply would only serve to improve durability and reliability but the graphics card would greatly improve overall performance in gaming, or with anything graphic or video related. Increasing memory speed would improve all performance across the board but less drastic than the graphics card would.
The power supply and graphics card would be usable on a more complete upgrade so you would not be wasting your money though if you go to a newer Intel CPU you would need DDR4 memory so anything spent on that could not be recooped.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
I don't play games etc so I don't need graphic card.
I have now i5-4690k so I'm looking for board, ram and coller from i5
here ya go
pentium G4620 (3.7 GHz dual core with hyperthreading) kaby lake
2x4gb ddr4 @ 2400MHz
MSI - B250M PRO-VD Micro ATX LGA1151
hyper 212 evo cooler
for about 232$ & no need to replace PSU
go here to compare cpu/gpu/etc:
or a 6600k setup:
core i5-6600k quadcore
2x4gb ddr4 @ 2400MHz
Asus - Z170-K ATX LGA1151
hyper 212 evo cooler
for about 398$ & no need to replace PSU
overlock to 4.5GHz ^^
Simple solutions are often the best
message edited by hidde663
forgot to ask, for what tasks are you going to use this pc?
general purpose or also heavy cpu tasks?

"no need to replace PSU"
Did you look at the specs for the Bandit 450W? It's low end garbage.
"I don't play games etc so I don't need graphic card"
OK, so what's the point of this upgrade? Or to ask a little differently, what is it that you can't do with your current setup that you think a $300 "investment" will cure?
"I have now i5-4690k"
It's still a 3-4 year old 4th Gen CPU. But since it's an unlocked "K" model, you'll probably want to get a board that's overclockable, so look for one based on the Z97 chipset.
Lot of programing apps, editors etc. Now it's slowing down, sometimes thinking to long :-)
I'm thinking board with OC to get 4,5GHz.
I was also thinking bout i5 6600k and board for OC...
Since you already have the 4690K then you do not need to consider the 6600K if you are going to limit your budget. As stated you need a Z97 motherboard in order to be able to overclock it. There is no guaranty that you will be able to reach 4.5GHz clock speed but a reasonable chance (look up "silicon lottery" to see why).
Note that you will need to completely reinstall Windows when you change the motherboard. If your copy of Windows is a factory or purchased OEM version then you will need to purchase a new copy of Windows to install and activate it.
Note your computer maybe getting slow for other reasons like it may need a good cleaning out (not dust (though it may actually need that also). If you remove unused programs, do a disk clean up, set programs to not launch with Windows, run Malwarebytes, and probably more. Then upgrade your memory to 16GB (2x8GB matched set) of the fastest your board is recommended for, you may find that it is not as slow as you think any longer.
Upgrading to the 4690K is of course better, upgrading to the 6600K would be still better (DDR4 memory required) but consider your budget and what you can reasonably afford. And, yes, you do really need tor replace the power supply, cheap power supplies are responsible for many ruined cpu's, motherboards, graphics cards, and more.
CPU + MB + PS + RAM + case with USB 3.0 on the front, etc. will not be at the price you said you have to spend.
If any programs, apps, web sites are are graphics in nature then you will benefit from a better graphics card. This though you can easily change out later if you realize that it is really needed.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
"Now it's slowing down"
Probably not hardware related. More likely you just have a bunch of garbage files bogging down the system, possibly malware/spyware. Do you run a cleaner? Do you regularly scan for infections? Have you disabled unnecessary startup apps? Have you installed unneeded/unused programs?
riider is right. My daughter has a 5 year old laptop, good amount of RAM (16GB), 1TB HD only half full, i5-quad core CPU, NVidia 650M graphics, etc. that she uses for design purposes (Photoshop, AutoCad, etc.) . She recently started complaining that it was bogging down in graphics programs and maybe it was time to think about replacing it. I saw no reason it should not still be very serviceable so I spent hours cleaning out junk and repairing little errors that build up in an older system. Here is a list of what I did that should help you as well:
Run Malwarebytes (found 3 minor things).
Run Antivirus program (no additional found).
Do a Disk Clean Up (left recycle bin for her to clean, otherwise everything else).
Update Graphics Driver from NVidia site.
Uninstalled unused programs.
Disabled start up programs.
Checked Device Manager for problems (none).
Restarted and ran Tweaking.com repairs including all prescans that were recommended.
Now it runs like it did a couple of years ago and there are no more complaints.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Check out my i5-6600k OC on air (212 evo), click on my name.
I'm scared to run prime95 or intelburntest right now since i hit 100C, but its stable.
Under normal load 70C max.
Here is a skylake OC guide:
Simple solutions are often the best
hidde663: That is great for testing and seeing how far you can push it and it is good to hear that you chose a good quality air cooler instead of the less reliable liquid models BUT 70C max under normal load is just too high for normal everyday use. You will be severely shortening the life of your CPU and other components unless you really do want an excuse to upgrade as soon as the newest comes out. I am running a 4690K at 4.3GHz (mild OC), it idles at low 30C and runs at low 40C on air cooling so I can easily run 4.5 or 4.6GHz and still have reasonable temps for 24/7 use including gaming and work (I just have to find the time and motivation as it is fast enough for my needs now).
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
70C on 100% load video encoding for 30min (I call that normal load)
35C idle, 60C maby during games.
I think thats good enough
Simple solutions are often the best
Even though many appear to say that the 6600K likes it hot, I can see 70C or even 80C during testing but I would not feel comfortable running it that hot for daily use. Your choice though.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
For some reason i feel safe below 1.35vcore & 85C max temps.
I guess we'll see in in the next few years how it holds up.
Simple solutions are often the best
eneded up deliding/using liquid metal & increasing voltage + coreclock.
still using my 212 evo cooler
30min of video encoding
before: 1.340vcore at 4.670GHz max 70C
now: 1.385vcore at 4.814GHz max 53C
5min inteburntest
before: 1.340vcore at 4.670GHz max 100C
now: 1.385vcore at 4.814GHz max 72C

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Sunday accused the United States of being "addicted to imposing sanctions", saying Iran should show Washington that it should quit this addiction.
"We can turn pressure into opportunity through increasing domestic production and non-oil exportation and show the U.S. in next few months that it should quit this addiction [to imposing sanctions]," Zarif said at a joint conference of private sector and the Iranian diplomats, as quoted by the Tehran Times.
"The history of the U.S. foreign relations show that it has imposed the most sanctions against various countries," he continued.
Zarif claimed the U.S. has become isolated by withdrawing from the international nuclear deal while the world is standing alongside Iran on the matter.
In May, U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal, under which sanctions on Iran were lifted in return for curbs to its nuclear program. Washington has since told countries they must stop buying Iranian oil from November 4 or face financial measures.
The European signatories to the deal, however, did not agree with Trump's move and are trying to save the accord, which they see as crucial to forestalling an Iranian nuclear weapon.
Tehran has demanded that Europe come up with an economic package to offset the effects of the U.S. withdrawal but so far has found Europe's proposals to be unsatisfactory.
In his remarks on Sunday, Zarif said, "Now, there is the opportunity to pass the current critical situation through unity."
Zarif also said that the Europeans should decide whether their businessmen, banks and governments favor European interests or U.S. interests.
He noted that there is a "gap between the U.S. and Europe" on the nuclear deal, but added, "I am not inexperienced to say that we can cause a clash between the U.S. and Europe."
Europe and all the other major countries in the world have come to the conclusion that the current policies that the U.S. is following are "dangerous", he claimed.

In 2017, the Utah Chapter had 12 students participating in Students of the Year. The 2017 campaign kicked off on March 2nd and culminated with a Grand Finale Gala on April 21st. Candidates worked hard to raise funds and awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) during this seven-week time frame. By the Grand Finale Gala, the students had raised over $172,000 for LLS.
Congratulations to our 2017 Student of the Year, Grace Petty!
Local area high school students enrolled in private or public schools who are enthusiastic about volunteerism, philanthropy, community outreach and leadership!
The Students of the Year Campaign is a seven-week initiative in which nominated high school students - as individuals or in teams of up to three core candidates - participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Utah Chapter. Students are selected as Students of the Year candidates via the LLS selection committee. Selection is based upon an application submitted by each interested student as well as in-person interviews. The students raise money in honor of a local patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Successful candidates will form teams, which may include family, friends, teachers or classmates to help with planning fundraising and logistics of the campaign. Every candidate must have an "Adult Sponsor" who will serve as a mentor or campaign manager throughout the campaign. The candidate; or team of candidates, who raise the most money at the end of the seven weeks is awarded the title of Students of the Year and will receive a scholarship to a college or university of their choice. In addition, there are Citizenship Awards for the student candidates who excel in Leadership, Community Involvement, and Mission Focus.
Application Deadline - Monday, October 31, 2016
Candidates Announced - Week of November 14, 2016
Kickoff Celebration - Thursday, March 2, 2017
Grand Finale - Friday, April 21,2017
To join the fight against cancer and improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Leukemia is the number one cancer killer of children under the age of 20; therefore kids are helping kids battling these devastating cancers.
To boost the college applications with a leadership and philanthropic adventure.
Candidates are eligible for scholarship awards. The Students of the Year will receive a $2,500 scholarship toward the college or university of his/her choice. Each Citizenship Award winner will receive a $500 scholarship toward the college or university of his/her choice.
Each student who raises at least $3,000 will receive a Letter of Recommendation.
Students rally their communities, schools and families to support their fundraising efforts. Along with their own websites, students will work with LLS staff to set a fundraising goal and to develop an action plan to reach that goal. LLS will provide fundraising materials and support throughout the campaign. The easiest ways to fundraise are through a letter writing/email campaign, company scholarship, and social networking. Each candidate and their campaign team will brainstorm with LLS to determine a plan for success.
Do you have what it takes to be Utah's next Students of the Year?

The summer is officially here! In our home this is a time to slow down a bit, unwind from the school year and make time to create. We also take advantage of this time by making fun recipes as a snack or dessert. Seeing Despicable Me 3 inspired us to make Minion themed ice cream sandwiches. I'm showing how to make the blue and yellow treat as well as a great tip that'll have your kids participating in the clean up!
Let's Make Ice Cream Sandwiches that even Minions will LOVE!
Ice cream sandwiches are prepped and ready to be Minion-ized!
Bello! Ready, set, decorate!
The creation station is perfection for capturing all those oops along the way.
Fold it up, pick it up and throw it away! Cleaning our work area with Bounty makes it super easy and quick for my boys. This also encourages them to make arts and crafts because it's more about creating than work.
All smiles because of the size of my smile. They knew it was a job well done.
- Work Station:
- 2-2 full sized paper towels (leave connected)
- Treat:
- 8 Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Sprinkles: blue, yellow, white
- Chocolate candies: blue, yellow
- Line table with 2-2 sheets of Bounty Paper Towels (see workstation example above)
- Take two cookies and place side by side
- Spread half a scoop of ice cream on each side
- Place the two cookies together
- Gently press the two cookies together to level out the ice cream
- Roll ice cream sandwiches in topping of your choice (try to roll the ice cream in the toppings before the ice cream gets super soft or it'll all slide)
- Freeze for a 1-2 hours until firm

As the projected release of Sea of Thieves's latest major content update, Forsaken Shores, creeps ever closer, Executive Producer Joe Neate has taken the time to post a quick progress update on the game's official site. According to the post, the team at Rare is "nearing the end of [its] polishing and bug fixing phase," and a near-final build of the update will be going out to Pioneers over the weekend for some final pre-launch testing.
Neate acknowledges that the game's "last couple of updates have seen issues introduced into the build . . . or have required emergency maintenance immediately following release," but with Forsaken Shores, he says, "it's [the dev team's] priority to make sure this doesn't happen again." In light of that, the update warns that "there is a chance that Forsaken Shores may not release on the 19th September as planned," but in the event that the release is held back for some extra last-minute polishing, the team doesn't expect the delay to be "longer than a few days."
Delivering your latest issue of the Pirate Times! Before you come into sight of Forsaken Shores, enjoy these community highlights from the past few weeks of skelly clashes, grand gestures and other adventures. Read issue 3 right here: https://t.co/ojWhhMLHWL pic.twitter.com/Y4hM3eT0XV

Top music producer Arnold Mbugamuzi aka Andy Music has fallen out with his boss David Junior Kazoora and quit Buddiez Studio for greener pastures. Our sources can confirm that Andy has joined a newly set up studio in Najeera.
According to Kazoora's close pal, Andy decided to quit after going six months without pay, yet he has been producing good music and making Airtel Telecom adverts at Buddiez Studio based in Kiwatule.
Andy has produced songs for top and promising upcoming artistes who include Fille, Kalifah Aganaga, Rabadaba, Mun G and many more. He is considered to be one of Uganda's best.
"You can't believe that Andy has spent that long without being paid yet he has made money for Kazoora. He is the man who has been producing Airtel adverts andit pays well," a pal said.
Adding: "Imagine someone who has worked that long and he couldn't afford renting himself a house. He was sleeping in studios, I know it's hard to believe but that's how Kazoora had turned Andy."
This website understands that while at Buddies bar, a client only identified as Martin found Andy in somber mood and when he asked him what the problem was, Andy revealed how Kazoora had turned him into a 'war horse' to an extent that he couldn't even afford to buy himself a bottle of beer.
"Martin a city businessman felt concerned and decided to employ him. The two agreed to set up a serious and sophisticated studio in Najeera a Kampala suburb," a pal said.
Andy, a Congolese national, will be earning shs2 million per month and already he has been given an advance of shs4 million to cater for his rent.
This did not go down well with Kazoora who has tried to convince or rather confuse Andy to rethink his decision.
Andy has since sworn to give Kazoora a bloody nose.

7 unmissable moments from convocationJune 12, 2019
On June 14, the Class of 2019 celebrated convocation along with honorary doctoral recipients Donna Strickland and Michel Rappaz.
Have you ever met someone who made it through their Engineering degree alone?
Neither have we.
Whether it was through the support of classmates pulling all nighters together in Thode library, encouragement from parents, words of wisdom from professors or the help of staff, the Class of 2019 graduated not just with each other, but because of each other.
Here are seven of our favourite moments that spurred warm fuzzies and relentless applause from both the morning and afternoon convocation on June 14.
1. We The North becomes We The Graduates
Raptors fever has spiked across the country, which could be felt from the convocation stage as students officially became McMaster Engineering alumni, donning Raptors jerseys, hats and flags. The night before, the Toronto Raptors claimed the first-ever NBA Finals championship by a Canadian team.
2. Nobel Prize winner and honorary doctoral recipient Donna Strickland's speech
McMaster Engineering alumna Donna Strickland, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics last year, received her honorary doctoral degree from her alma mater. During her speech, Strickland revealed that it was her roommate from the Moulton Hall residence at McMaster, who is still one of her best friends, who helped pick out the red dress she wore to accept the Nobel Prize.
"One of the great things about going away to university is that you get pulled out of your comfort zone and find out that there is so much more to the world then what you have yet experienced. Of course, university is all about learning, but the friends you make while you are busy studying are every bit as important... I have been so lucky in life. I left McMaster with a great education and fabulous friends. I hope the same is true for all of you."

3. Avid hiker, dreamer and honorary doctoral recipient Michel Rappaz's speech
He's a globally recognized leader in materials science, most likely to be bumped into on a major mountain in any corner of the world. Rappaz, who received his honorary doctoral degree from McMaster Engineering during the morning ceremony, spoke about his love of Leonardo da Vinci, the challenges facing today's graduates and the innate power of curiosity.
"I hope that, like Leonardo, you will continue to show curiosity for your domain, but more generally for life and phenomena, for the cosmos and the atomistic world, for the human societies and the environment. And I also wish that you will keep the desire to always go beyond what you already know, what your professors have taught you or what the society or your employer tells you to do."

5. Matthew Ferguson, a.k.a Super Plumber's, valedictorian speech
Ferguson, a Chemical Engineering and Society graduate, addressed his classmates during the morning convocation.
"We've experienced heartbreak, we've experienced fear of disappointment and so much more. But the beautiful thing about all this, is despite all our different pasts, and our different pathways, we've all managed to converge to this room, because of our resilience and strength... To those that felt like they didn't have as strong of a support system but still managed to find themselves here; you are the ones that truly show us that our strongest support system lies within ourselves."

During the routine flyover done by the NASA scientist in the Arctic Ocean earlier this month, a NASA scientist photographed a mysterious ice hole in the eastern part of the Beaufort Sea. The captured holes appear to be the first of their types ever captured on film. The researchers are finding difficulty to identify what they are and how are they formed. The flyover routine done by the scientist photographer seems to be an intriguing issue not only to the researchers but to other scientists.
John Sonntag, the NASA's Operation IceBridge mission scientist, captured the images on his camera. The captured images were noted about 50 miles about the Northwest of Canada's River Delta. Although the main purpose of the mission is to conduct an observation on the sea ice, it is, therefore, the mysterious holes had become the highlight of the trip.
Nathan Kurtz, one of the project scientist, explained that the images exist in the area of the ice. The scientist is still not sure if what causes them and what created these holes. Kurtz is not sure what kind of dynamics could lead the circle-shaped features of the holes. Nathan also added that he has never seen like these holes before.
Walt Meier, the scientist of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, also suggested that these circles could be the result of the water washing over the ice and snow especially when the seals surface for air. According to him, this might also be the cause of the drainage feature from the hole and what makes the hole.
Chris Shuman, a glaciologist based at the NASA's Space Flight Center which is also a glaciologist at the University of Maryland also suggested that the holes could be the result of the warm water that melted through the arctic ocean. Or this could be the result of either of the warm springs and form groundwater flowing from the mountains. According to Chris Shuman, this might also be the result of the currents which makes its way to the surface of the ocean.
At the moment, with only the photography at hand, the cause of the holes remain to be unsolved and mysterious. At least until more information about these holes can be collected to solve the mystery behind the formations of the captured holes. Today, NASA continues to deploy missions to the arctic ocean.
