The term "quantum leap" applied to a sudden shift in thought about something can come about wholly within the psyche through the linking of formerly disparate mental pictures or ideas or through dream imagery where a solution from the unconscious, usually of an archetypal nature, is given when the consciousness cannot resolve a problem. Probably the most famous example of a mental quantum leap is where Archimedes realized the displacement of the water level in his bath and came up with the solution to discovering whether his patron, Hiero II's new gold crown had the correct amount of gold in its alloy. This discovery, was not entirely happenstance, though. Archimedes was in an "altered state" merely because he was relaxing in a bath. Other mental quantum leaps have taken place through hallucinogenic drugs or the shaman's drum, and even through the practice of poetry (especially obsessive verse). All of these things and more can stimulate the unconscious. The most skeptical of medical doctors can talk about the "placebo effect" and be completely oblivious to the fact that they have just endorsed telekinesis on a cellular level.
If the resulting cognition is important enough, it can result in a direct change in a culture. Less important, and more frequent mental quantum leaps can have a cumulative effect and appear to show a culture evolving. All of these, however, virtually only happen to a single person. On a rare occasion, two people if they are "in sync" can come up with an idea or a solution at the same time, but the skeptic could offer various "logical" reasons as to why this occurred. If eight people in a room did this, though, parapsychology would suddenly move from theories to fact.
So let's imagine these eight people in a room at time when one of them has a mental quantum leap. The scenario being that they are not random people in a waiting room, but people who are working together on some project. As they all share a very similar mental set (or cultural frame), the realization of one of them is more likely to be understood and find agreement by the others. It would also be most likely that not only a project is being shared, but a specific stage of that project was being discussed at that time. Furthermore, the seven people who witness this quantum leap are familiar enough with the other person's base mental and emotional state to be able to recognize an altered state. Having all had such experiences, themselves, even if with something as mundane as being roused by a piece of music, or seeing a painting. They thus gain a sense of importance about what has been discovered and give it the requisite attention. It does not even matter if the idea is valid: if it is invalid, those working on problem has just been made aware of a false assumption that had not been previously identified and steps can then be taken to ensure that this would not be repeated in the future. Most often, though, the quantum leap is valid within the given parameters of the group. This local culture has just taken an evolutionary step.
But what would happen if these same eight people were dotted about in an organization of two thousand people; were working on different projects on different floors of a large office building? They would know each other less, if at all. The person who makes a quantum leap might email the idea to his manager and the idea might be evaluated by completely false criteria such as the status of the employee; their work history; the mood of the manager at the time and his or her's personal psychology; professional jealousies, the list goes on. Most often the idea would die because it was not mutually experienced to some degree. Of the eight people, it would be most likely that only the originator of the idea would know about it. the manager would be less likely to be one of the eight because the mental environment in the first scenario would be lessened by the absence of a shared status. The dynamics of boss and employees injecting too many other factors and the quantum leap might never have taken place at all.
Now let us take this quantum leap to the next step and assume that it has been adopted by the local culture (the small group) and has also found favour with larger groups within the society (the company, organization, or right up to nation). What starts as a psychic phenomenon then shifts to a material one and can only progress through mechanistic methods which will inhibit or even eliminate the likelihood of further quantum leaps. The larger culture slows its development. If the idea becomes policy or dogma, it cannot evolve at all, and if the culture has too much of this sort of thing it will cease to evolve or adapt and will certainly fail at some point. As Bob Dylan once wrote: "Those who are not busy being born are busy dying". A static point cannot maintain.
If the quantum leap had, instead of moving to a much larger group, been shared with other small groups, then the dynamic allows proliferation: the idea than can become paired with with another idea for the first time and another quantum leap can then take place. The evolution of the small, interacting groups speeds up.
Ponder all of this, and I will continue with more on it tomorrow.

Jon Wilkins, co-founder and chairman of Naked Communications, has announced his resignation from the company and will leave Naked at the end of the year.
Wilkins founded Naked Communications with John Harlow and Will Collin in London in 2000, and moved to Australia to join Naked's Sydney office in 2009. He was then based in New York from 2011 to 2013. More recently, Wilkins relocated to his family home in London mid-way through the year and has been on sabbatical leave since then.
Wilkins said: "Naked means the world to me and will always do so. My decision to move on is made slightly easier in knowing that Naked is in great shape and in such good hands. Naked has embarked on a new chapter and I wish the team nothing but success for the future."
Naked co-founder John Harlow passed away in August this year earlier. Will Collin, who remains with Naked said: "Jon will be missed by the Naked family and leaves with our unwavering support. The timing is right for him and I have no doubt that he will continue to do great things. I'm very excited about the road ahead. Never before have we had so much invested into our brand, attracting new clients, exceptional new talent and energizing our team."

Another important idea discussed is that social and economic stressors influence children on the epigenetic or genetic expression level. This happens already in utero, and once again has the potential to effect children for years to come. Give children a positive environment to grow up in - get good epigenetic results. Give children a negative environment to grow up in - get bad epigenetic results.
We, in
contend that everyone should be treated equally. We like to believe that we can
and should expect everyone to thrive, and that if one does not, it is their
fault. So, it does not matter where you grow up. You should be able pull
yourself up by your bootstraps. America
It should not matter that we, as a country, have stopped investing in the working poor. It should not matter that we have put in place policies that have eroded the middle class. It should not matter that we have condemned 25% of American children to grow up in poverty, lacking the necessities they need to thrive.
Right, because that makes sense... We should definitely be able to have our cake, not invest in what we need to, and eat it too, expect the results that would come about had we invested in what we needed too. Right?
Well, no, wrong. This does not make sense, and never really made sense. Now, science shows how little sense this actually makes. The question, as Susan Hoff, United Way Chief Strategy Officer, posed it last night, is: Do we have the will to do what we KNOW we need to do? Or will we continue, as we talked about in the last blog post, to waste the vast human potential that we have in this great city, and across our nation?
Only time will tell.

I love this picture from Easter!
I'm annoyed that people keep asking me about having more babies and laugh when I say I have a plan. My sister likes to give me a hard time about trying to "play God" by dictating when I'll get pregnant again. It assaults me left and right, from women who were due when I was and now they're already pregnant with their second kid, people saying Shepherd needs a sibling. You know the drill. It is nothing new. Usually I don't care. All the time I hear women say the typical things women say, about strangers touching their bellies or touching their babies or whatever. None of that bothered me. This does though. I guess because we, meaning Bryan and I, are so, so incredibly far away from having our second baby. I honestly couldn't feel farther away from the idea. We have so much to get in order, so much on the horizon that it wouldn't be fair to us, to Shepherd and even to the baby to try to wrestle that in there.
Mostly, with each question and comment about the next baby, I feel it. The disappointment in my last pregnancy, the weight of failed breastfeeding. The huge crap pile that was my life in 2012 and 2013. I can't go back there. I can't revisit that. I can't have pre-eclampsia again and the longer I wait, the healthier I get, the better I learn to deal with stress and anxiety, the better of a chance I have at carrying the baby to full term. To experience birth and motherhood the way it should be. But we aren't ready yet, I'm not ready yet. I can't do it and I don't like the comments. I don't like the feels that come along with them.
We went to a local Mexican restaurant on Shepherd's birthday and he loved playing in the fountain!
I'm in the beginning stages of applying for a program that will enrich my knowledge of school business and help to push my career forward. For the past few years I've been in a holding pattern because I always thought this was a bridge job. I would use this job to bridge the gap until I became a stay at home mom. Since that isn't happening, I feel like I owe it to myself to dive deeper in my career so that I can move up as much as possible.
I definitely cannot say that my brain and heart have completely surrendered the idea of being a SAHM. It's been hard to adjust my thinking to this is what I'm doing for the long haul. With this program, there is no going back. Personally, I'm devastated. Giving up a dream is hard. Especially when that dream is so rooted to the core of you. At the same time, I'm not just giving up a deal. I'm pursuing a new one which is really scary. Hustling to meet goals and realize your dreams is not easy. It's not supposed to be or the payoff wouldn't be as sweet. I'm starting to get into deeper waters and I feel so out of my element. I'm ready for the challenge though. I think it's right.
I am obsessed with the app Perfect365. I told my friend Denise about it and we constantly send each other selfies. I definitely think I should die my hair blue. Also.... I need lavender contacts STAT. How cool are they?!
Bryan is so, so close to finishing his album. I can almost feel the energy in the air. The next few months are going to be a whirlwind and I could not explain why, but I feel like this moment in our lives is huge. It's going to propel us somewhere. I don't know where, I don't have any idea if it'll be a good place or bad one, but this step is going to take us somewhere unfamiliar. It's exciting, exhilarating and terrifying at once. I've convinced Bryan do to a little side project with it and I'm super stoked that he is on board. More on that soon!

Deer and elk don't do borders: Groups fight to preserve protections...
Wildlife, it turns out, isn't too savvy about political borders – whether those borders divide countries or states. Sportsmen and conservation groups pointed that out in different ways this week when they protested a bill that would strip away environmental protections within 100 miles of U.S. borders. In a separate action, groups also urged greater regulatory cooperation in managing roadless lands that straddle state borders.
Pew skewers border-security bill that would roll back environmental laws on...
Pew Environment Group officials on Thursday said a proposed U.S. House bill aimed at increasing border security gives "unprecedented authority to a single federal agency to destroy wildlife habitat and wetlands …" The National Security and Federal Lands Protection Act (H.R. 1505), debated Thursday by the House Natural Resources Committee, would allow the Department of Homeland Security to override 36 environmental laws.

U.S. Sen. Mark Udall's new streamlined Good Samaritan legislation, designed to encourage volunteer water cleanup projects, may yet become law. It is the 11th piece of Good Samaritan legislation to be introduced in Congress in the last 15 years. Udall's bill, however, is drawing more support and less opposition than the previous bills, all of which failed to gain traction on Capitol Hill.

11.11 sales set another new record
Alibaba's 2016 11.11 Global Shopping Festival finished with a new record in sales: RMB 120.7 billion (US$17.79 billion) in gross merchandise volume in just 24 hours.
That represents a 32 per cent increase in 11.11 sales over last year's RMB 91.2 billion on Alibaba's eCommerce platforms Tmall and Taobao Marketplace.
Other records tumbled, as well. GMV on mobile devices reached RMB 98.97 billion or $14.6 billion (compared with $9.8 billion last year) and there were 657 million delivery orders generated, compared with 467 million in 2015. There were 1.04 billion payment transactions processed compared with 710 million last year.
Perhaps the most astonishing figure was the near 100,000 motor vehicles sold during the 24 hour period – ranging from Maseratis to the most popular, the local Chery model of which 13,000 sold online. That's the equivalent of the monthly sales of 1000 car dealerships.
Maserati vouchers were sold online for 50,000 yuan on Tmall, redeemable at 46 dealers around China as deposit on a vehicle with a sticker price of 999,800 yuan ($168,000).
About two in five of the cars were financed by interest-free credit for up to 36 months from Alibaba which had preapproved about 120 million mainlanders for loans.
"This year's 11.11 is a preview of the future of retail, where entertainment, commerce and interactive engagement intersect seamlessly," said Daniel Zhang, Alibaba Group CEO.
"From the kick-off of warm-up activities to the countdown gala and all the way through the 24-hour global shopping festival itself, we've seen unprecedented engagement between consumers and merchants. 11.11 showcased how online and offline retail will be reinvented to offer brand new shopping experiences to our hundreds of millions of mobile, digitally savvy active users."
The launch of 11.11 brought with it milestone after milestone as consumers who had filled their online shopping carts in the weeks leading up to the sale clicked "Buy" right at midnight. Total GMV soared past RMB 100 million in just 40 seconds, while it took just six minutes and 58 seconds to reach RMB 10 billion. In terms of US dollars, the $1 billion mark for total GMV and mobile GMV hit at 4 minutes and 54 seconds and 5 minutes 31 seconds into the sale, respectively.
During the first hour, order volume set yet another record with a peak of 175,000 orders in one second, while the number of payments settled per second totaled 120,000 at their height. Last year during the peak of the sale, the communications network run by Alibaba Cloud, the company's cloud-computing subsidiary, processed 140,000 orders per second.
11.11 isn't a purely Chinese affair. According to Alibaba, 235 countries and regions completed cross-border transactions during the festival, with thousands of international brands participating. Adidas, Apple, Nike, Pampers, Philips, Siemens and Uniqlo were all among the most popular in their respective product categories.
Outside China, Japan accounted for the most sales through Alibaba on 11.11, followed by the US, South Korea, Australia and Germany.
Financial metrics aside, Alibaba this year made a significant push outside the realm of pure sales to include increasing levels of interactivity among its platforms, the merchants and consumers shopping at home. Chief among those was a new virtual reality shopping experience, Buy+, in which users could shop and purchase goods in a VR environment. The Hangzhou, China-based company also launched an augmented-reality game, 'Finding the Carnival Cat', a Pokemon Go-style game that allowed players to chase Tmall's cat mascot into real-world retailers and restaurants such as Intime shopping malls, Starbucks and KFC.
Zhang said successful retail in this age requires a combination of commerce and entertainment.
"The young generation born after 1990 is becoming the main source of consumption," he said. "They have a vastly different lifestyle and consumption pattern."
Here's an infographic offering an overview of the key facts and figures from the festival:

Actress Amber Tamblyn Says We Need to Stop Questioning Women's Sexual Assault Stories
She's done with not being believed. *mic drop*
The majority of sexual assaults in the US are not reported.
"What's the point, if you won't be believed?" actress Amber Tamblyn poignantly asks in her powerful New York Times op-ed. But as the title of her piece says, Tamblyn is "done with not being believed."
What's powerful about @ambertamblyn's action is she no longer accepts the blame. In that way, she frees us all.— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) September 13, 2017
In the article, Tamblyn shares a story about being stalked by a crew member at the age of 21. Perhaps more shockingly is that Tamblyn, who was then starring in "Joan of Arcadia," informed her producer of the situation only to be told "there are two sides to every story."
But "for women in America who come forward with stories of harassment, abuse and sexual assault, there are not two sides to every story, however noble that principle might seem," Tamblyn writes. "Women do not get to have a side. They get to have an interrogation. Too often, they are questioned mercilessly about whether their side is legitimate."
Women who report sexual assault and rape in the US are often met with criticism and doubt. The burden of proof is frequently on victims of sexual assault to show that the incident actually occurred and was "unwanted" or uninvited. So two out of three incidents of sexual assaults go unreported, and only six in every 1000 rapists will be incarcerated, according to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network.
Tamblyn's op-ed is, in part, a response to tweets from the actor James Woods, who Tamblyn says tried to take her to Las Vegas, Nevada, when she was just 16 years old. Upon telling him she was underage, Woods responded "even better."
James Woods tried to pick me and my friend up at a restaurant once. He wanted to take us to Vegas. "I'm 16" I said. "Even better" he said.— Amber Tamblyn (@ambertamblyn) September 11, 2017
Woods denied Tamblyn's story, accusing her of lying. His accusation forced the actress to recall all the times she had nervously shared her concerns with men in positions of power, only to be questioned and disbelieved, the star of "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants" wrote.
She also penned an open letter to Woods, which appears on Teen Vogue.
"Since you've now called me a liar, I will now call you a silencer," the 34-year-old actress wrote. "I see your gaslight and now will raise you a scorched earth."
"I was just a girl. And I'm going to wager that there have been many girls who were just girls or women who were just women who you've done this to because you can get away with it."
I cannot tell you how many people have texted, messaged and emailed me with personal stories about James Woods over the last day.— Amber Tamblyn (@ambertamblyn) September 14, 2017
Neither Tamblyn's open letter nor her New York Times op-ed is intended to just clap back at Woods. She wants to change the larger, pervasive culture in the US that enables sexual harassment and assault to be "normalized," she said.
"The saddest part of this story doesn't even concern me but concerns the universal woman's story. The nation's harmful narrative of disbelieving women first, above all else," she laments in the Teen Vogue letter. "Asking them to first corroborate or first give proof or first make sure we're not misremembering."
She emphasized this point on Twitter, clarifying that her op-ed is not just about Woods, but about a larger cultural phenomenon that shields men like Woods from the consequences of their actions.
This is less about what just happened with Woods and more about Woods Culture and how we can end it. https://t.co/oc3IRbVk8e— Amber Tamblyn (@ambertamblyn) September 16, 2017
This is not the first time Tamblyn has spoken up against sexual assault and violence against women. Tamblyn was outraged by then-presidential candidate Donald Trump's "grab 'em by the pussy" comments last year.
She bravely shared her own story of assault.
"To this day I remember that moment. I remember the shame," she said on Instagram.
I need to tell you a story. With the love and support of my husband, I've decided to share it publicly. A very long time ago I ended a long emotionally and physically abusive relationship with a man I had been with for some time. One night I was at a show with a couple girlfriends in Hollywood, listening to a DJ we all loved. I knew there was a chance my ex could show up, but I felt protected with my girls around me. Without going into all the of the details, I will tell you that my ex did show up, and came up to me in the crowd. He's a big guy, taller than me. The minute he saw me, he picked me up with one hand by my hair and with his other hand, he grabbed me under my skirt by my vagina— my pussy?— and lifted me up off the floor, literally, and carried me, like something he owned, like a piece of trash, out of the club. His fingers were practically inside of me, his other hand wrapped tightly around my hair. I screamed and kicked and cried. He carried me this way, suspended by his hands, all the way across the room, pushing past people until he got to the front door. My friends ran after him, trying to stop him. We got to the front door and I thank God his brothers were also there and intervened. In the scuffle he grabbed at my clothes, trying to hold onto me, screaming at me, and inadvertently ripped off my grandmother's necklace, which I was wearing. The rest of this night is a blur I do not remember. How I got out to the car. How I got away from him that night. I never returned for my necklace either. That part of my body, which the current Presidential Nominee of the United States Donald Trump recently described as something he'd like to grab a woman by, was bruised from my ex-boyfriend's violence for at least the next week. I had a hard time wearing jeans. I couldn't sleep without a pillow between my legs to create space. To this day I remember that moment. I remember the shame. I am afraid my mom will read this post. I'm even more afraid that my father could ever know this story. That it would break his heart. I couldn't take that. But you understand, don't you? I needed to tell a story. Enjoy the debates tonight.
"I have been afraid of speaking out or asking things of men in positions of power for years," she wrote in the New York Times, but she won't be keeping quiet any longer. "The women I know, myself included, are done, though, playing the credentials game. We are learning that the more we open our mouths, the more we become a choir. And the more we are a choir, the more the tune is forced to change."

The other day it happened again, and again the Lord came through for me and reminded me of Isaiah 8:11-14a. I've quoted it before, "The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said, 'Don't call everything a conspiracy like they do, and don't live in dread of what frightens them. Make the Lord of Heaven's Armies holy in your life. He is the one you should fear. He is the one who should make you tremble. He will keep you safe. '"
The next day, while walking around the future Ebenezer Productions, I talked to Him about the future. I told Him that I knew it would happen in His time and His way, but that I really struggled with how it coincides to the dark times that are before us, leading us to the end.
It was then that He reminded me of Jonah and how the people of Nineveh repented. I know you remember the story. The people believed God's message given by Jonah and repented of their evil lifestyle. As it turned out, that revival staved off their total destruction for about 150 years.
God is merciful and will do all he can to keep from destroying a nation. We see that time and again with the Israelites, as well as with the Ninevites. In Jonah 4:10-11 we see what God has been telling us from Genesis to Revelation, and beyond:
"Then the Lord said, "You feel sorry about the plant, though you did nothing to put it there. It came quickly and died quickly. But Nineveh has more than 120,000 people living in spiritual darkness, not to mention all the animals. Shouldn't I feel sorry for such a great city?"
It's what he told Ezekiel in 33: 11
"'As surely as I live,' says the Sovereign Lord, 'I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die?'"
And it's what He showed us when Jesus came to earth as a baby, lived a perfect life of a man so that He could take all our evil on Himself and pay the penalty for it. No pain was spared Him. Every pound of the hammering of nails in His hands and feet bore the same pain as the two on either side felt. The amazing thing is that after He died, He came back to life for us to know the penalty was paid.
And that's the God I'm believing for Ebenezer Productions, but it's more than that. In the final analysis, all the temporary things of this world, including buildings and movies will be no more. All that will be left are the things of value, and the thing that is of most value is what we did with Jesus in our individual lives.
As I walk this life believing in the astronomically impossibilities of my vision, I am drawing closer to the life of faith that Hebrews 11:1 describes. "Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." I'm not there yet, but I'm growing closer every day.

In her interview, Natalie talks about finding friends in the entertainment industry.
"Recently, I've been spending more time with other actresses, not in a fake 'just because we're actresses so we should hang out' way. I feel there's been a shift. I felt that way on Annihilation too, working with a strong female ensemble cast. We are used to being 'the girl' on set. It was such a joy to be with a group of women."

"Disparities between rural and urban areas remain pronounced" noted former UN Secretary General, Bank-Ki Moon in Millennium Development Goals' 2015 report. These huge gaps persist in different sectors:
- In rural areas, only 56 per cent of births are attended by skilled health personnel, compared with 87 per cent in urban areas.
- About 16 per cent of the rural population do not use improved drinking water sources, compared to 4 per cent of the urban population.
- About 50 per cent of people living in rural areas lack improved sanitation facilities, compared to only 18 per cent of people in urban areas.
- It is estimated that in 2015 still roughly 2.8 billion people worldwide lack access to modern energy services and more than 1 billion do not have access to electricity. For the most part this grave development burden falls on rural areas, where a lack of access to modern energy services negatively affects productivity, educational attainment and even health and ultimately exacerbates the poverty trap (1)
Young-adult Empowerment Initiative (YEI) works with rural communities to uplift them for sustainable development. South Sudan and Uganda fall in the category of third world's developing countries which present unique developmental challenges. The Sub-Saharan Africa's Demographic Transition is a big shift with over 70% of its population being young people who live in abject rural poverty. Therefore, YEI's planning for the Future of East Africa's youths through empowerment and development of their skills is a prudent step for the region's Human Capital. (2)
Political conflicts in various parts of the world are, more and more often, of an
extended duration. Rhetorically, integration has always been a guiding principle of refugee programs in countries that host them. According to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, restoring refugees to dignity and ensuring the provision of human rights includes an approach that would lead to their integration in the host society. (3)
YEI shares and cherishes the above observations and believes that social cohesion among the refugees and their host communities can promote peaceful co-existence, harmony and unity of purpose. This is what we, as a peace building organization advocate for, in Uganda which hosts the biggest region's refugees. Refugee-Host (Re)integration Programmes [ReHope] can be of imperative crucial and mutual benefits for both the refugees and their hosts in terms of infrastructural development, and provision of Social amenities such as education and health services.
From the Amman Youth Declaration on Global Forum on Youth, Peace and Security (4), its subsequent outcome, the UNSC Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security (5) and Resolution 1325, now as 2242 on Women, Peace and Security (6), it's very clear that the inclusion of the most marginalized and vulnerable groups such as the youth, girls and women become eminently importance.
YEI works in areas of peace building and human rights advocacy and mostly target the youths and women in transforming violent conflict in their communities. The significance of young people's participation in security issues and leadership has been stressed enough by the UNSC 2250.
YEI is thus, advocating for intergenerational decison making and policies framing platform in which the young and the old work in an amicable synergy for mutual benefits
One of YEI's areas of focus is Education and Research. Youth empowerment and community transformation can hardly be realized without engaging the young people in quality education and advancing the Research and Development (R&D) (7)The Sustainable Development Goal number 4 and its targets stress out objectively in black and white the ultimate importance of quality education for all (8) YEI therefore seeks impactful collaborations with the Academic community and Research Institutions in order to achieve much of its education milestones

Ahh it's a new year, and it's time to get some paintball on. After a couple of crazy weeks at work, consisting of large roll outs, excructiating QA sessions _of course any QA with "a certain geek we all know":http://blog.josephhall.com is excrutiating_ I was ready for some serious action. And thus we came to "Desert Edge's":http://www.teamdesertedge.com first woodsball practice of the season.
Now, One of the *most* important pieces of equipment a person has in paintball is their mask. The mask keeps your eyes safe, and you must keep it on at all times on the field. Paintball masks are a special kind of goggle, made to handle high-velocity impacts, and many of them.

Hellgate: London
Real-life London is only marginally less scary.
Flagship Studios
Don't you just hate it when you feel compelled to do something, even though you know you aren't really enjoying it that much? When you decide to perform some mundane task even though there are far better options on offer, and it's all because of a base, animal-level compulsion? Welcome to Hellgate: London.
It isn't a terrible game at all, it just isn't good enough to justify the amount of time I personally have put into it over the last month or so. I feel dirty when I play it, wrong when I smile at my new sword and I lament the loss of innocence in the world when others join me online to play. All because it's so decidedly base and uninspired, yet it makes those that play it do so for excessively long periods of time.
We all know collecting things is great - I find it physically impossible to throw a hell of a lot of the shit I have lying around away. The bods making Hellgate are evil and have taken advantage of this simple fact - as soon as they placed thousands of items in the game to collect, they had a hook, and as soon as they made the game throw said items at you en masse, they drag you in, against your own free will and (probably) with little sadistic smiles on their faces. The sick freaks.
This is a game about content - and I apologise for sounding like a marketing prick there, but it really is. It's an experience of constantly checking your inventory, picking up items, selling, buying, trading, upgrading, breaking down to composite parts and throwing away (god forbid). You will spend more time managing your inventory than you will exploring the arbitrary London setting, and more time talking to idiot shopkeepers than you will dealing with the legions of Hell. Well, that may be a mild exaggeration, but you get the point.
Hellgate is based in that land of London, where no one smiles, everyone sounds like Dick Van Dyke and the opening of a gate to the bowels of Hell really wouldn't change that much. London is awful, after all (mighty mighty Leeds!). Anyway, a gate to said Hades has opened, and some naughty demons have come out. This has made the people that didn't get violently slaughtered take refuge in the numerous Underground stations through the city, and it's also made some folks with swords, guns and magic decide to kill the shit out of the baddies. Inspired, I'm sure.
It's generic fantasy stuff, just with an (as I said before) arbitrary London setting to get people interested - other than the well-known names and Tube stations this could be most places in the UK, to be honest, and it seems there is far too much impetus put on the setting. And good lord those accents are unmitigated crap.
Nearly 500 words in and we can mention the game proper. Players take control of whichever character type they decide from a choice of six - Guardian and Blademaster (the tanks), Summoner and Evoker (the magic users), and Engineer and Marksman (the FPS elements) - and travel around the lands of London dispatching with hellspawn in whichever way best suits them. What this actually amounts to is an incredible amount of hacking and slashing, or shooting, or summoning and sitting back. An incredible amount.
There seems to be no real strategy to things, with players either wading in full on with the direct combat classes or simply backpedalling with the less direct classes. That's it. There are powers to gain and some auras and other crap that are unlocked, but the meat of the game is simply smash, slash, shoot and sit back. There is also an inordinate amount of barrels and crates strewn around Lon Don in whichever identikit locale you are currently slogging around in. This, on paper and on its own, doesn't work too well. Unfortunately the collect 'em up aspect is all too present and correct.
If there were fewer items, or if the game were more relenting when it came to furnishing you with new items, Hellgate would lose a major edge. It would be nothing - a void. Combat is boring - Blademasters and Guardians simply click non-stop until the enemy is dead, the classes using guns and magic simply run backwards shooting until the enemy is dead and the summoner summons their demons, sits back and waits for them to kill the evil demons until they are dead. The setting is uninspired - hokey fantasy rubbish with three million fetch quests placed under a London skin.
It isn't as funny as it tries to be, though it by no means takes itself too seriously. Every character type both in single and multiplayer receives exactly the same missions, and as many as there are, they're still dull in the majority. It's sometimes incredibly difficult to open crates, as the viewing angle won't face far enough towards the ground in 3rd person mode. It's generally very drab, and in some areas the dull zombies blend into the dull background.
But it's still decent enough to warrant playing. You do the math(s).
The fact that it ties so simply into the base collecting aspect of our psyche - a very boyish thing, I should point out - annoys me. But it still doesn't stop me from having a quick bash that lasts an hour or two. The more committed out there - most likely the Diablo fans that have already owned the game for nearly a month - will put ungodly amounts of time into it, I'm sure.
The other aspect that will keep people coming back is in the multiplayer. It isn't the great MMOG that it was sometimes made out to be, but Hellgate can offer a great experience when organised correctly. Not easy with the rubbish lobby system and lack of friends list - though this may change with patching and Xfire compatibility. Or something.
It is intensely rewarding to see a team acting as a team should, however, and single player doesn't give you the real idea of how a character class is meant to perform on the grand scale of things - Guardians and Blademasters running in and battering them, the support classes hanging back like the pansies they are and supporting. It can be lovely. It's just a bit of a bitch to set up. There is also a subscription service available for those that want more character slots, better weapons and the like, though the £6.99 a month is a bit much, especially when you consider it's the same price for a WOW subscription - an infinitely more in-depth and rewarding experience, with an easy to use and fully-functioning friends system. But those with money to burn... Well, give some to me, actually. Sod the game, I'm poor.

Two very warm and individual brown inks arrived yesterday from Brian Goulet's Inkdrop. This time Brian has selected an assortment of samples which he very aptly calls, "Mudslinging," and which includes five shades of 'muddy' brown ink, plus a bonus sepia ink new from Private Reserve. Of the six samples, the Lie de Thé from J Herbin grabbed my attention right off, because it's an ink long on my wish list. The other color that struck me as bold and off the curve is the Noodler's Walnut.
Hard to speculate on what is prompting the interest, but judging from all the variety out there now, brown ink has suddenly become the new thing in ink colors. Look back as recently as two years ago at what was then available in brown, and you'd have difficulty seeing more than three or four brands offering a brown ink. Seems now that every ink maker out there is stirring up pots of brown.
But in my opinion brown is a hard color to get right. I expect that mixing up a batch of something in the 'brown' family is pretty basic at this point, but getting it right, getting all the desired qualities working together in an original shade is perhaps where the challenge lies. And to my delight, there are a few of them who have gotten it bang on target.
J Herbin's Lie de Thé is one of those, and Noodler's Walnut is another—one milk chocolaty, the other dark and bold. No hesitation in describing the Walnut ink as dark and bold, but I have sat staring at the Herbin 'related to tea' ink for forty-five minutes and still can't settle on an accurate comparison. It does not look especially like tea, even tea with milk; it doesn't look like coffee, nor milk chocolate. Because of a faint yellowish cast, what I am most reminded of is a spoonful of water stirred into soil from China. What I can say about this color is that—for those partial to brown—it is a pretty shade, and one that is standard enough to be rated useful, and not merely a mood ink. You could sign your mortgage with this ink and illicit no more than "Mmm…pretty color" from your banker. In the same sense, the Noodler's Walnut is dark enough to pass for brown-black under 'civilian' eyes. For my tastes these browns are a combination made in ink heaven.
Writing… I tested the Herbin Lie de Thé in a Lamy 2000 with what I believe is a medium nib. (The Lamy 2000 carries no identifying marks as to nib size.) Granted the Lamy is a most agreeable pen, but it is sensitive to an ink that lacks cooperation, and with Lie de Thé, ink and pen sort of hit it off and wove themselves into immediate partnership. Great flow of ink; the Lamy 2000 tends to be a wet pen. Shading is good, giving to the lines what most would call a good balance. Saturation is okay, but this is not a shade that invites deep saturation, though there is enough to produce the kind of written page most are comfortable with. I will give this mix from J Herbin a bunch of gold stars, and soon dial up Ink Nouveau for a bottle of Lie de Thé.
For the Noodler's Walnut I chose a Sailor Professional Gear, medium nib. This pen is what I call picky about inks, and is often quick to stubbornness with certain inks. I have on occasion felt like it was flashing signals telling me to change the ink. But it took right to the Noodler Walnut, and I admit to being surprised at that. With notable exception, Noodler ink has been less than cooperative in many of my fountain pens. Not so with the Walnut, and this too is one I will buy, or beg from Santa. With this one you will get tremendous saturation that leaves the backside of your paper free of all but the faintest show through. Shading is hard to discern, though it is there when you look carefully. Darker inks tend to not advertise their shading.
I scribbled a lot with both these inks and never had a problem with slow drying time. Reasonable and not an issue, though left-handed writers may have some concern.
My conclusion? Click on Goulet Pens and get yourself a bottle or sample of these well-rounded mudslinger browns.

How to Perform a Workplace Assessment of the Risk of Violence
By now, dental offices likely have their policy regarding workplace violence posted on the Health and Safety board, reviewing it annually. An important part of your health and safety program is performing a workplace risk assessment that identifies the risk of workplace violence that may arise from the nature of the workplace, type of work or conditions of work.
"Workplace violence" means the use, or attempted use, of physical force against a worker that could cause physical injury. Workplace violence also includes a statement or behaviour that a worker could reasonably interpret as a threat to use physical force against him/her that could cause physical injury.
The intention of the risk assessment is to identify and assess risks related to workplace violence in an effort to develop strategies to mitigate risks as identified. The risk assessment process includes consideration and analysis of:
- Circumstances specific to the workplace,
- Circumstances that would be common to similar workplaces,
- Past incidents of workplace violence in your workplace or similar workplaces, and
- Any other prescribed elements.
When identifying and assessing risks of workplace violence and when recommending steps that can be taken to comply with the employer's obligation to take every reasonable precaution to protect workers from workplace violence, consider both the likelihood of an incident occurring and the severity of the impact if the incident occurs.
A separate assessment must be performed for each workplace. That is important information for multiple practice owners.
Upon completion of the assessment, advise the JHSC or a health and safety representative of the results of the assessment and provide a copy. If your workplace does not have a JHSC or health and safety representative, advise the workers of the results of the assessment and make copies available on request or advise the workers how to obtain copies.
Below are examples of some areas that need to be assessed and some typical questions to assist you with the assessment.
Risk Assessment of the Physical Workplace
Outside the Building
- Is the parking area secured? Is the parking area well lit?
Reception Area
- Can the receptionist clearly see people entering and exiting the workplace?
- Is the reception area staffed at all times?
- Can outsiders enter the workplace if the receptionist is not present?
- Does your receptionist sometimes work alone?
- Does the reception area have an emergency call button or other emergency procedure?
Waiting Area
- Does the waiting area isolate patients from workers and hinder communication with workers?
- Are there any objects in the waiting area that could be used as weapons?
Inside the Workplace
- Does your workplace have a security system? If yes, is it activated and working?
- Is the system regularly tested?
- Are locks and codes changed immediately if there is a lost key or card?
Workplace Background
- Describe in general the activities and functions performed by each category of worker including:
- The potential for physical contact with other workers or clients;
- Dealing with the public, contractors, couriers
- The frequency and need for workers to work alone or outside of regular business hours
History of Workplace Violence
- Have any workers reported any incidents of workplace violence or are any such incidents known to have occurred?
- Have any workers reported any threats of workplace violence or are any such threats known to have occurred?
Activity Risk Analysis
- Do workers work with money or other valuables?
- If yes, do they work with money or other valuables in a public area?
- Are there security measures in place to protect these workers? (e.g., security guards, emergency call procedure)
- Do any workers work alone after normal business hours?
Does your workplace have policies to reduce the risk of workplace violence?
Your health and safety program needs to begin with a risk assessment. Whether it is assessing the risk of workplace violence and harassment, or whether it is to assess the risk of injury from hazardous chemicals or illness, it is the responsibility of the employer to identify and prioritize reasonable precautions that can be taken to protect workers and keep your employees safe.
For further information on health and safety programs designed specifically for dental offices, contact firstname.lastname@example.com and we will be happy to send you a sample workplace violence assessment.

Classic beer in cansNow in CANS
Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale...$10.99 / 4pk 14.9oz can
Creamy head, dry; flavors of aromatic hops melded with a hint of nuttiness from dark malts.
The History of Nut Brown Ale
Brown ale is a specialty of the North of England, and a very early beer style - it is mentioned in literature in the 16th century. Judicious amounts of dark malt give brown ales brilliant dark-amber color and deep flavors that stop short of roastiness.
The walnut or hazelnut notes in Nut Brown Ale come from dark malts and from fermentation in Yorkshire Squares - no nuts are used in the recipe! Dry, medium-bodied; the Sam Smith ale yeast strain gives a fruity note to the finish.

TMJ Treatment in Atlanta, GA
Dr. Dierkes provides treatment for TMJ for the residents of Atlanta, GA.
Satisfying results in TMJ treatment are accomplished by Dr. Dierkes for residents of Alpharetta, GA. Chronic pain of the head and neck attributed to TMJ is professionally treated by Dr. Dierkes, setting our practice apart from the majority of orthodontic offices.
What is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ stands for what is known as the temporomandibular joint. This is the ball and socket joint that connects the lower portion of the jaw with the head. The phrase TMJ frequently refers to a dental problem of this area that is called temporomandibular dysfunction, or TMD. This encompasses a number of disorders in the temporomandibular joint that results in pain in the head and neck area. Problems can include headaches, clicking and popping of the joint, discomfort, pain in the face, eye pain, ear pain and even neck pain. Generally speaking, the temporomandibular joint is considered to be one of the most complex joints due to a number of reasons. These include the fact that it is the only sliding hinge joint in the body, both sides move concurrently, it is weight bearing, dislocation of either or both sides can deliver chronic and intense pain in the head and neck and the positioning of the joints is determined by the position of the teeth.
How is TMJ Treatment Performed?
When you come in for treatment for TMJ, the doctor will first have an X-ray screening done on your mouth. This X-ray is called a tomogram and is used to assess the spatial relationships between the ball and socket portion of the jaw. The doctor will also examine your dental and medical history to find out what might be causing your symptoms. The treatment methods are holistic and vary depending on each patient. There are a variety of options that include Botox, prolotherapy, splint therapy, nutritional and hormonal assessments, assessment of predisposition to TMD and regenerative medicine to repair the TMJ.
About Dr. Dierkes
Dr. Dierkes has been practicing orthodontics for more than 30 years. He earned his dental degree from the University of Michigan and specializes in the treatment of TMJ. He also served as an Associate Professor and the Chairman of the Department of Orthodontics at Emory University until 1985, when he returned to private practice. Dr. Dierkes was named one of the top 10 orthodontists in the country by the American Association of Orthodontics.

George Robert Gray
The letter and story below are historical fiction, based on available facts discovered about George Robert Gray.
It had been raining when I met him. His brown hair slicked back and his eyes fresh. He was a newcomer. Many of the newcomers were unwelcome. I had been one of the few to greet him. I remember the date. September 21st, 1917. He and I had soon later been posted to the 84th Squadron located in France.
He smiled at me when we heard the news. "This is going to be fantastic," he exclaimed to me. He had been full of life, and excitement.
It all changed in October.
"Head up, John," he whispered to me as we approached the plane for our third patrol. "They smell fear, you know?"
I shivered in my boots. This was only our third time flying in patrol and although I knew that I would be safe as long as Robin was guiding the plane. The thought of being in the air made me quake.
Heights had never been my forte. "Johnny the baby" is what he called me in his witty and playful way when we were alone. He had been the first British Columbian that I had met. In comparison to those of his home province, I must have sounded much different. He had asked me to repeat several things.
"Why do you need to make the boy even more frightened than he already is?" One of our fellow soldiers, Henry, asked, his brown eyes narrowed at Robin. "Do you not have better things to do, Gray?"
"It is just a playful bashing, Mantle." Robin shot back at his fellow Lieutenant with a gentle smile playing about his lips. "A little humor will not kill you," he mused before he began climbing into aircraft.
I should have died that day.
In the air, we had been in a dog fight with a German aircraft. We fought long and hard, but we did not succeeded. Our plane went down. I never saw Robin again.
News had spread days later that I would never see him again.
October 31st, 1917 was the day that changed my life.
That day, war had claimed my comrade.
Most of all, that day, war had claimed my best friend.
I will forever hold you close in my heart, Robin.
Created by Krysteena White.

The technology of a distributed ledger, now universally referred to as "blockchain" might one day cease to exist, or more likely, transform into something even more promising.
Will Murphy, vice president for blockchain at Talla.com, which operates Botchain, a blockchain for managing autonomous intelligent agents, has predicted that in just a dozen years blockchain technology will advance to a level, when the two parts to its name – "blocks" and "chains" – will no longer be justified.
He predicts the block will not be needed in the coming years and will eventually be replaced by a system in which transactions are linked together and will be able to confirm previous transactions.
That will be a collaborative effort, Murphy argues, as to submit your transaction you'll need to validate or verify others in the queue, thus "doing some work for others", which will speed up all transactions.
"The miner is technically removed and each transaction validates past transactions. Transaction times can actually go down as more people use the system," he wrote on Coindesk.com
Also, the old linear structure might modify into a more tangled one, which looks more like a graph, spreading in several different directions, where parallel transactions occur.
Do you know what DAG is? This is a directed acyclic graph, which may substitute a typical linear blockchain, Murphy assumes. While the latter requires miners to maintain blocks, a DAG has no need for either "proof-of-work" or blocks.
Though not knowing exactly how this will play out, Murphy suggests that the new system, now under development, "may be an improved model for both fees (or, in ethereum parlance, "gas") and scalability over current blockchain models." With that in view, new management models will apparently come into play.

Calgary born, Toronto based '70s classic rockers the Stampeders return to Lethbridge, Monday, June 10 to play the Yates Theatre.
"It's been a lot of fun since we reformed in 1992," said guitarist Rich Dodson, who left the classic rockers known for a variety of different hits including "Wild Eyes," "Sweet City Woman," "Hit the Road Jack and numerous others which spanned a variety of genres including country, rock, pop, flirted with elements of jazz and even dabbled in disco for a few years.
Dodson left the Stampeders in 1977 to do some solo projects and reunited with band mates bassist/vocalist Ronnie King and drummer vocalist Kim Berly in 1992.
He noted the band is a product of the '70s and all of the different types of music surrounding them then.
"It's been very productive," said Dodson, who is pleased the current tour, which comes to the Yates Theatre on June 10, has already had several sold out dates.
"We're in the Yates this time. We used to play Whoop Up Days a lot. But this tour is mostly theatres, which is really comfortable for the audience and for us. We started playing more theatres about four years ago," he continued.
"We really enjoy meeting everyone after and signing autographs," he said, adding they play perhaps 65 dates a year, mostly on weekends, though they spent April playing a mostly sold out tour of the Maritimes.
"Growing up in Calgary, country music was always around us. But we started off as an instrumental band like the Ventures," he said, adding moving to Toronto exposed them to more musical styles.
"We experimented with horn sections because we wanted to try something different. But the core has always been the three of us," he continued.
"We all just get along. It's like we're brothers" he said.
It's been 23 years since we've been back together and time just flies by. It's still a lot of fun being on the road," he continued.
He noted he'll keep playing as long as he can. They released their last album of new music in 1998 with "Sure Beats Working."
"I turn 72 this year, and Mick Jagger is still out there playing and doing backflips and he's like 80," he said.
" We're getting older, but we sure appreciate things a lot more," he said.
The Stampeders play the Yates Theatre at 7 p.m., Monday, June 10. Tickets are $63.50
