The voice box contains the vocal cords and is located at the top of the airway to the lungs. When the vocal cords become inflamed or infected, they swell, which can cause hoarseness and may even obstruct the child's airway.
The most common form of laryngitis is caused by a viral infection, although it also may be caused by a bacterial infection or the common cold, bronchitis, flu, or pneumonia. Common laryngitis is not normally associated with any breathing difficulty.
Several other forms of laryngitis in children— croup and epiglottitis—can lead to fatal obstruction of the respiratory tract. Other causes of laryngitis include laryngeal polyps, laryngeal paralysis, precancerous changes of the throat, malignant tumors, allergies, and trauma.
Symptoms include a recent upper respiratory infection, fatigue, hoarseness, fever, and swollen lymph nodes or glands in the neck.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer — дебютний альбом британського рок-гурту Emerson, Lake & Palmer, вийшов у світ у листопаді 1970 року. На платівці поєднуються цитати з класичної музики з експресією прогресивного року і віртуозним стилем гри трьох музикантів. Альбом відразу зробив гурт популярним, зайнявши 4-е місце в британських і 18-е місце в американських хіт-парадах.

Огляд
Титульна композиція The Barbarian () — єдина, у написанні якої взяли участь усі члени гурту. Вона є обробкою фортепіанної п'єси Бели Бартока Allegro Barbaro (1911). Основою для Take A Pebble () стала акустична балада Ґреґа Лейка. Knife-Edge () базується на першій частині написаної у 1926 році Симфонієти Леоша Яначека, у середній частині цієї інструментальної композиції цитується алеманда з 1-ї французької сюїти Йогана Себастіана Баха ре-мінор (BWV 812). Three Fates () — це три органних/фортепіанних соло Кіта Емерсона, присвячені богиням долі — Клото, Лахесіс і Атропі. Tank () — це віртуозне барабанне соло Карла Палмера у супроводі синтезатора. Завершує альбом композиція Лейка Lucky Man (), якою на вимогу компанії звукозапису вирішили заповнити місце на платівці, що залишалося. Лейк написав цю баладу для акустичної гітари ще юнаком. Хоча вона не сподобалася Емерсонові і Палмеру, вони все ж погодилися її записати. В кінці композиції Емерсон виконує соло на синтезаторі Муґа, він був одним із першим музикантів, які ввели цей новаторський інструмент у рок-музику. Хоча Емерсон пізніше підкреслював, що імпровізація не відповідає його рівню, записана протягом 15 хвилин Lucky Man стала однією з найпопулярніших композицій гурту, а випущений у березні 1971 року синґл піднявся до 48-го місця в американських хіт-парадах.

Politics of Turkey
The Motherland Party, (Turkish: Anavatan Partisi, abbreviated as ANAVATAN, formerly ANAP) is a political party in Turkey. It was founded in 1983 by Turgut Özal.[2] It merged with the Democratic Party in October 2009, but in September 2011, the party was re-established. Its president is İbrahim Çelebi.
The ANAP was considered a centre-right neoliberal, secular nationalist party that supported restrictions on the role that government can play in the economy and also supported private capital and enterprise and some public expressions of religion. The 1983 Turkish general election, was won by the new Motherland Party, led by Özal. Although the party was composed of a potentially disruptive[dubious – discuss] mixture of Islamic revivalist[clarification needed] and secular liberals, he was able to form a majority government, and briefly, democracy was restored.[3]
2 Leaders
3.1 General elections
In the National Assembly elections on 6 November 1983, the Populist Party and the Motherland party were allowed to run for office. The ANAP won 212 of the 400 available seats and Turgut Özal, the leader of the party, became the Prime Minister.[4] The ANAP maintained a majority in the government of Turkey from 1983 until 1991. Turgut Özal held the position of Prime Minister from 1983 to 1989, then President from 1989 to 1993. Özal died in office, and was succeeded by the True Path Party leader, Süleyman Demirel.
After the 1983 National assembly, ANAP allowed all political parties to participate in the local elections. In 1987, ANAP removed the 10-year ban on over 200 leaders of the Republican People's Party (Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi—CHP) and Justice Party (Adalet Partisi—AP), allowing them to run for office and participate in political affairs. The ANAP won 292 of the 450 seats that year.[5]
During this time, the ANAP leaders transformed the Turkish economy by beginning free-market reforms, particularly cutting down the public area and moving towards privately owned business. In 1987, the ANAP-led government filed for admission into the European Economic Community, the forerunner of the European Union. However, this attempt to enter the EEC was ended when the ANAP criticized the customs union of the EEC and decided the admission terms prescribed by the EEC to be not in the best interest of Turkey or its people. In 1991 ANAP lost the majority to a coalition of the True Path and Social Democrats parties.[6]
After its longest run, the ANAP has had few opportunities to return to leadership. In 1995, The Motherland party formed a brief coalition with the True Path Party (DYP), another center-right oriented party, that allowed their influence to return for a short period of time. Then, from July 1997 to November 1998, the ANAP was returned to the head of government with the leader Mesut Yılmaz during Turkey's first televised elections.[7]
However, The ANAP suffered one of the largest defeats during the April 1999 elections and became the fourth largest political party in Turkey with only 14% of the votes. Following these elections, ANAP received only 86 of 365 seats in the Parliament. During the 2002 elections, they got only 5.12% of the votes and no seats in Parliament.[8]
On 5 May 2007, it was announced that ANAP and True Path Party would merge to the Democratic Party (DP). However, this failed and ANAP announced that it would not run for the upcoming elections.
From 2008 to 2009, its president was Salih Uzun. On 31 October 2009, it was merged to Democratic Party.[9]
On 11 September 2011, the party was re-established, with the same ideology as the first organization. Its current president is İbrahim Çelebi.
Party's founders are: Turgut Özal, Cavit Şadi Pehlivanoğlu, Mehmet Keçeciler, Mesut Yılmaz, Cavit Kavak, Adnan Kahveci, Cemil Çiçek, Ali Ayağ, Mustafa Taşar, Kaya Erdem, Güneş Taner, Abdullah Tenekeci, Kazım Oksay, Recep Ercüment Konukman, Veysel Atasoy, Halil Şıvgın, Vehbi Dinçerler, Sudi Türel, Necat Eldem, Ali Tanrıyar, Bedrettin Doğancan Akyürek, İbrahim Özdemir, Abdulhalim Aras, Hüsnü Doğan, Leyla Yeniay Köseoğlu, Vural Arıkan, Bedrettin Dalan, Abdülhalim Aras, Nail Kul.
Leaders[edit]
The chief executive member of the party is called the Genel Başkan. He/She is elected by party delegates in biennial party congresses. The party had seven leaders since its foundation in 1983 until 2009:
Turgut Özal (May 20, 1983 – October 31, 1989)
Yıldırım Akbulut (November 16, 1989 – June 15, 1991)
Mesut Yılmaz (June 15, 1991 – November 4, 2002)
Ali Talip Özdemir (November 18, 2002 – October 3, 2003)
Nesrin Nas (October 15, 2003 – March 21, 2005)
Erkan Mumcu (April 2, 2005 – October 26, 2008)
Salih Uzun (October 26, 2008 – October 31, 2009)
(During periods between the resignation or incapacitation of a leader and the election of a new one, the central committee of the party collectively acted as leader.)

The Story of our Fabulous Volunteers!
Intentional Serenity started as a vision to bring women together that wanted to feel connected to a community of like minded women . . . women that were brilliant, talented and fabulous that were looking for authentic and meaningful friendships. It wasn't long before the community of Intentional Serenity Sisters grew across the Twin Cities. Many stay-at-home moms, entrepreneurs, retired women, professionals and young adults gathered with a similar commitment in serving one another in friendship and in inspiration.
Women felt compelled to share their unique gifts with us . . . gifts of marketing, music, editing, graphics, hostess and service, financial donations, fundraising support, accounting, legal advice, business coaching, mentorship etc.
Intentional Serenity began on less than a shoe string budget and has become known internationally (Canada and USA) as a philanthropic company, changing the lives of women and children locally and globally. All of this was possible only as a result of the gifts and skills that many women have shared with our Sereni-team. We have blossomed due to your contribution. As such, we are all part of this team.
If you feel called to help spread our mission of empowering women and children to live from the place of their hearts, pursuing their unique dreams by increasing their self-confidence, leadership and self-esteem, then Intentional Serenity is that place.
We are seeking administrative assistants, perfectionists, creative minds, marketing geniuses, IT technical support, business coaches and mentors, and just about every other possible gift you may have to contribute.
Would you like to be, or do you know someone who would be interested in being a guest speaker or musician at one of our events? Perhaps you could be hostesses, financial donor or provide sponsorships at any level for our many endeavors!
In complete gratitude, I thank you for your support, friendship, prayers and efforts in making a difference in our community.
Blessings for prosperity of every kind to you!


Yesterday you heard UDP Corozal Bay area representative Pablo Marin openly throw the entire weight of his support on Richard Quan over Town Councillor Rafael Castillo ahead of Sunday's convention in Corozal Town. That has turned out to be a major endorsement for the current Traffic Manager over the seasoned politician and former Deputy Mayor. With municipal elections on the distant horizon, we also asked Marin whether he felt that the Town Council has delivered the goods and services to the town residents of Corozal. As expected, he was highly optimistic.

I've attended a half dozen or so musicals at Bloomington Civic Theater and have always enjoyed what I've seen, but I've never been to their Black Box Theater to see a play. Bloomington is a bit of a drive from my home in the Northeast suburbs, so it took a special play to get me there for a non-musical. That play is Proof, my second favorite math play (the first being Tom Stoppard's Arcadia). Of course it's not really about math; math is the backdrop against which a very real and powerful story about family, identity, and metal illness is told. It's a beautifully written play (by David Auburn), and director Alan Sorenson and his able cast do a good job of bringing it to life. I was wiping away tears at several points during the play, which speaks to the emotions in the written words as well as in the performances.
Proof premiered on Broadway in 2000 and won the Tony for Best Play. I saw it on tour in 2002, which is proof (sorry) of it's popularity since Broadway plays don't go on tour as often as musicals. It tells the story of a young woman named Catherine whose father, a renowned mathematician, has just died. She took care of him in the final years of his life as his mental health deteriorated. In that time he filled 100 notebooks with gibberish, or is it mathematical genius? Similar to the movie A Beautiful Mind (based on the biography of mathematician Jon Nash), he sees patterns and codes everywhere, and it's difficult to decipher the difference between madness and genius. One of his former students, Hal, comes over to the house to go through the journals to see if there's anything of value. At the same time, Catherine's sister arrives from New York and tells her she's sold the house, and wants Catherine to move to New York with her. When Hal discovers one beautiful, complicated, ground-breaking proof, Catherine says that she wrote it. No one believes her since she's had little schooling; she dropped out of college to take care of her father. It's obvious she has inherited her father's mathematical skill, but has she also inherited his mental illness? That's the question that Catherine struggles with as she tries to figure out who she is without her crazy genius father to take care of and define her life.
This is Catherine's story, and Erin Mae Johnson is up to the task of conveying her varying emotions, from devastation at the loss of her father, to excitement at the possibility of new love, to betrayal when those closest to her don't believe in her. Scott Keely is excellent as her father, seen in flashbacks and hallucinations, becoming more and more unraveled as he descends further into his illness. Also good are Bailey Murphy as the businesslike sister who wants to wrap everything up neatly and move on with her life, and Zach Garcia as the enthusiastic math scholar Hal who befriends Catherine as he tries to glean something from what her father left behind.
Proof is a fantastic play, emotional and powerful and funny at times, presented nicely by BCT. You don't have to be a math nerd like me to enjoy it, but if you are, you'll learn some interesting facts about prime numbers and mathematician Sophie Germain, and enjoy a few inside jokes, like the one about a song called i. Proof is playing now through October 6 in BCT's Black Box Theater (discount tickets available at Goldstar.com).

Please let us know what you think. And if you're one of the people who played, or came to see us, please leave a comment! We're energized and raring to go - Matt's conCrud aside.
Dragon*Con 2016 Demo
Dragon*Con is this weekend (technically, it's already started), and SubNet will be there! In, like, an official capacity! There will be two demo SubNet games, one on Friday, the other Sunday, and both are in the 1PM - 5PM time slot. The Con charges a flat $3 fee for anyone to reserve a slot at the table, which you'll need to do if you want to play. This will be our first public demo of the game rules. We've been hard at work crafting an adventure for y'all to enjoy, and would love to get your feedback on the system and the setting. If you're in town, drop in!
And if you just can't wait 'till Friday, then you can meet us in person tonight! Scott and Matt (and maybe Nigel, but he didn't get time off like those two) will be at a Meet & Greet at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta this evening, Thursday, September 1st. They'll be at the bar starting around 8PM, and will last well into the evening.
Can't wait to see you there!
Weekly Meeting 8/24/2016

Holy cow, is Nigel not slacking off?! Another post about meetings? Well, to be fair I could probably stand to make another Hand Canon post - that was fun to write, and I've been hankering to write more. And I'm sure y'all would love a bit of variety in these.
Last night's meeting was spent in tri-brain mode, making sure the demo adventure for Dragon*Con we've got planned will knock your collective socks off! It's got multiple paths! It's got premade characters! It's got teddy bears! We're really looking forward to introducing it to the world :D
In semi-related news - and if you saw our Polyhedron post a few days ago this is a repeat - we'll be having a Meet & Greet at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta on Thursday, September 1st. The gang, including myself, Matt, Scott, and a few other Polyhedron hosts, will be there starting around 8PM. Thursday is the day before Dragon*Con truly kicks off, and we'll be preparing ourselves for a grueling 4-day long nerdgasm.
Okay, that sounded better in my head, but you get the idea!
We have two demo SubNet games during Dragon*Con. One is on Friday, and the other is on Sunday. Both are in the 1PM - 5PM time slot. If you want to play, you'll have to reserve a spot at the gaming table and pay a small fee - we'd prefer to have this free, but the Con are the ones charging, not us. Mercifully, it's only $3.
Holy crap, has it really been that long since we last updated this thing?! How the time flies! Our humblest apologies - we've been heads-down and hard at work. Thanks to our superior charm, wit, and a harrowing dockside dust-up with a pack of scar-encrusted thugs, we've secured slots to demo SubNet at this year's Dragon*Con! We're still hammering out the details, but we'll have two demos of the game - one on Saturday, the other on Sunday. And if I'm wrong on those, I'm sure Matt will be messaging me shortly to provide a correction.
The last several meetings have revolved around funding. HeadCanon Games has been a labor of love for we three over the last several years, and we're asymptotically approaching time for crowd funding. Funny thing is, to get to a state that we feel comfortable presenting the product, we need some seed money. We're exploring our options - mostly comparing various small business loan offerings from different banks - and each revenue avenue has its pros and cons. We want to make sure that whatever option we go with is the best fit for HeadCanon and SubNet.
In more personal news, Scott and I have new jobs! Schedules are being adjusted (we meet on Thursdays, now - I don't think we've told y'all that) and numbers are being crunched. The amount of money you need to run a game dev studio that has no offices, equipment, or even employees is surprisingly non-zero, and our day jobs are an important part of our overall funding structure.
But, I'm sure this is boring you all. The end result of these new jobs and the exploration into loan options is potentially huge. With funds such as we can secure, we'll be able to pay artists and editors their fees, and actually have a lot more fun visual stuff for y'all to enjoy! There's a list of artists we're eager to work with, but we don't want to approach them until we're sure we can pay them for their services. In our dreams, though, we see shining digital cities, bright with false hope. Stalwart warrior-philosophers clothed in fire, running and fighting and twisting the world just so, grasping a better future with a fingernail hold.
If you happen to be an artist, or know someone who's interested in work, please contact us! Our list is hardly set in stone, and we're always eager to find new and interesting talent. Our acquisition efforts for funding are picking up speed, and we anticipate having monies available before the end of the year - maybe as little as a month or two - and as such we'll be looking for artists soon.
March 22, 2016 / Metahedronstudios
We meet after a few missed meetings, due mainly to health. A nasty stomach flu has made the rounds, but luckily we've all weathered the gastrointestinal storm. We're meeting after giving ourselves some time to work under the kanban work system we brainstormed last meeting. We talked about politics and video games - the best subjects!
Matt is focusing on his Rule cards, and will be working on Admin stuff soon. He's also doing taxes for the business. Yay! Business!
I need to make flyers to go into stores, and have made some progress on the logos.
Scott has been doing a lot of thinking and brainstorming on his cards, and now finally has a clear runway for work now that his other writing obligations are complete.
We also have our first Patron! Kaeli Chambers, you are awesome and we appreciate your delicious money! Kaeli is late-night maven of the awesome CrankyCanuck Twitch stream, which you can find at https://www.twitch.tv/crankycanuck
Holy mole, we had a meeting two weeks in a row! Yesterday we tried something a little different. We made use of a system of task breakdown based loosely on the concept of "kanban". We went over the bits and pieces we still need to create, revise, or expand in our document before we feel comfortable submitting it for copyright, and wrote each individual chunk of effort onto a note card. We then split up the note cards among ourselves and will use them to track our work.
It's something used in the software development world, and it does wonders to chunk up tasks into manageable parts, so we figured we give it a try. At the very least, it's helped get our juices flowing again!
Other than that, not much. A little bird tells me that the next episode of our podcast will drop soon, and that it's gonna be awesome. Stay tuned for it!
Heyo! Nigel back, as the regular stenographer of our weekly meetings. We have been having them... mostly... but they haven't been terribly exciting. What has been exciting is our fantastic playtest AND our badass new podcast, which Matt has been dutifully posting to this and other websites. And apps. And whatever else kids these days do. In my day you downloaded podcasts from someone's website directly and you liked it.
Anyway! I have been busy doing graphic design stuff, which you've probably seen associated with our podcast. More elements are on their way, which will transform our humble website into a slightly less humble, hopefully prettier, website. With a strong branding narrative and dynamic design flexibility.
Our first order of business is to begin serious headway on our writing backlog. We've got a lot of the game written already, but it's in a lot of different pieces. But, much like the modern Prometheus, it will be both beautiful and awesome when we are finished with it. No part of the product is in its final phases by any measure, but the skeleton is there. We're sculpting and massaging, getting what we have to fit into the lean shape we're hoping to make. Our design mantra isn't very original, but we feel is a good summary - 'keep it simple, stupid'.
Next week we're going to implement some good old fashioned Japanese business ingenuity, and use a kanban board. I work in the software design business, and have found it a rich and fertile place for inspiration - not in terms of setting or mechanics, but in terms of organization. Kanban, simply put, is a way of breaking down a large task into more manageable chunks, along with a mechanism to enable people to own those tasks and report on their status. It uses notecards! We'll take some pictures as a treat :)
Numbers keep on adding up
After the release of our second episode of Polyhedron, our subscriber numbers has climbed tremendously and I want to thank each and every one for helping make that happen.
Please, we really want to get this show out there and grow the fan base. If you have a friend who likes RPGs or you have a loved one that may want to know more about your weirdo hobby, tell them about Polyhedron and get them hooked.
...but again, thank you so very much and the next episode will be out in two weeks.
The new phonebooks are here!
Hello there! We have special news for you. We just released the second episode of "Polyhedron" just because we couldn't contain ourselves any longer. Normally, Polyhedron is a bi-weekly podcast but because we have received such great feedback about the first episode and we had the second episode ready to go that we just had to give it to the fans. So hop over to the Polyhedron page and have a listen.
PS: Now from here on out we are going to our bi-weekly schedule. So episode 003 should come out on the 25th of February, mark your calender's (or just subscribe)

Weekly Meeting 10/20/2015
October 20, 2015 / Metahedronstudios
Good evening, everyone! We opened the meeting with a stirring acapella rendition of the main theme from Armageddon - you know the one. The latest Star Wars trailer hit, and we're all terribly excited about that, too.
Tomorrow is the first game of Matt's playtest campaign. Cross your fingers, everyone, so that it goes off without a hitch!
We kicked off actual work by looking over the Table of Contents - we're working on a revision to better organize our thoughts and whatever copyediting I need to do. Not a terribly exciting post, I know, but we got some good work done tonight!
Scott and Matt won't shut up about Fractured. But that's normal - it's a fun game! They did some recording for the podcast, and some followup recording is scheduled for Thursday. Break a leg, fellas!
Tonight was a little light. Fractured was quite draining, but we're gearing up for some hardcore dev. More boring paperwork, thoughts on revisions, and some more notes on playtest. Matt's slowly assembling a list of players who'll help put the system through its paces.
I need to get off my brain's lazy duff and do some copyediting. I know I said that last time, but it's still true!
Good evening, fans, friends and family! Pardon our absence, but September is always a wacky month here in Georgia. Dragon*Con came and went, which bites hard into free time. We had a meeting since last time, but I was a lazy bum and didn't post the notes. Sufficed to say, Dragon*Con was time well spent; Matt and Scott did a lot of recon and pimping for the game.
Tonight, we went over a feedback form the illustrious Michael Goodwin wrote for us. Our first playtest is about to get off the ground, and this form will be one of the primary vectors we'll use to learn what people think about our little project. We pride ourselves on our adaptability, and look forward to constructive feedback!
We also discussed art! I'm in charge of contacting artists, and we've had some luck looking through Fiverr for potential artists. I'll be reaching out to a few of the artists we feel will work well with our brand. Brand? Man, I sound so corporate!
Our podcast has a name now - Polyhedron! I have to make some art assets for it, so that'll be fun. I also need to put some research into desktop publishing software - there's some promising open source options that will be very kind on the corporate bank account.
I also need to get off my lazy duff and work on the copyediting! Hoping this weekend will give me some of the time I need. Having a social life is fun, but there's stuff that's gotta be done!
Weekly Meeting 8/25/15
I have learned something. A secret that fills me with joy. Someone reads these posts! Hi, Susan! You're awesome!
We spent tonight's meeting working on our Patreon and Podcast ideas. We brainstormed names, rewards levels, milestones, and other fun stuff. Still haven't settled on everything yet, but that'll shake out sooner rather than later. We've got some paperwork to do; all very adult, official crap that Matt will almost certainly take care of. Matt is a DC fan, so I hope he doesn't mind when I compare him favorably to Superman. He is awesome.
Not much else to say. OH!
OH OH!
I REMEMBERED THE WHITEBOARD! Matt has it now! I didn't mess up this week!
Matt's planned a super-secret ultra-mega hush-hush event starting tomorrow. I don't know how public it'll be once it gets off the ground, but it'll be sure to generate plenty of food for thought here at HCG HQ. Let's just say it involves dice. And people. And a table. And meeting regularly every week or so.
Spoilers he's running a SubNet campaign! He plans on Tweeting during sessions, so stay tuned to the official Headcanon Games Twitter Feed!
Guess who forgot the whiteboard again? I know, I know. I just need to write it on my hand.
Last night got philosophical, but before that we did some plugging away at planning. Matt and Scott will be heading up Podcast development and recording, leaving my tender brain-meats free to work on the copyediting. Scott's in the middle of a move, and as such he's got a lot on his plate right now - good luck, Scott!
I'm also tackling our business cards. Matt made a sweet design on VistaPrint, and has graciously turned it over to me for final tuning. If any of you Canonheads (I just made that up - is that lame?) want to see them, we'll be passing them out at Dragon*Con!
Weekly Meeting 8/2/15
We promise we've been meeting! Nigel has just been SUPER SLACK about writing these things up! Punish me! I've been a naughty, naughty boy!
On the docket tonight is our podcast. Matt (and his amazing wife Linda) have been working on some slick graphics and several programs I am mystified by to work on a video overlay of our podcast. We recorded a prototype episode a few months ago, and it's been on the back-burner since then. Matt's working on getting something put together. The going idea is to have the audio podcast as a semi-weekly thing, but to include a video podcast as a reward tier for our crowdfunding.
Playtesting is going to start soon(ish) - we've got a few hurdles to jump through yet. A few individuals, and groups, have expressed interest, but we're still taking applications. If you are interested in participating in our next round of playtests, please use our Contact page to drop us a line!
And I keep forgetting the white board!
Have we got a treat for you today, NetHeads! Is that okay? Can we call you that? Headcanon Games is proud to announce that we've been working with Michael A. Goodwin (Nephilpal to all you net-dwellers) on the project. Michael has agreed to work as a consulting editor on the project, and spent last night dispensing all manner of wisdom. Seriously, he was a figurative font of wisdom. It poured from him, like honey. Dark honey, cultivated from the pollen of nightmare gardens and salted with bitter truths.
Ahem. The meeting was awesome.
We discussed a ton of different things, including how to proceed with development and crowdfunding plans. There's a potential overhaul to our Karma/Encounter system that may become a central part of the game. Or, rather, will greatly reinforce some core concepts in a novel way. We're excited, and may have more next week.
Until then, NetHeads (seriously, if you can think of a better name, let us know!), take care. Watch the skies. You never know when the black stars will appear.
Oh, to be a fly upon the wall! Real Talk: we geeked out about E3 a lot before the meeting began.
During the meeting proper we discussed our documentation, layout, additional art assets, and NDAs! THRILLING. We're gearing up for a big announcement that you, yes YOU, will be a part of, so stay tuned for updates. We also discussed changing up our meeting days, so these updates my not always be on Tuesdays - we'll see how the next few weeks pan out.
But, for now, we continue to plot and scheme. Moo hoo ha ha.
We wound up not having a meeting due to Matt's AC being on the fritz. We're a Georgia-based company, and for those of you not in the know this state is well-known for its hot, humid summers. No word yet on whether it's been fixed, but if Scott and I haven't heard from Matt in the next day or so we'll send out a search party.
Our search for artists continue. We're looking for environmental artists, specifically; someone who can put some visual flesh on SubNet's textual bones. Vast city-scapes, over-the-top fantastic game-worlds, and of course the lion's share of the Quiet with its nature-reclaimed silence. We're good with words, but we'd love some solid illustrations of our world.
If you're an artist, or know one, please drop us a line! We're looking for a few good pieces, and are willing to pay. Furthermore, once our crowdfunding gets underway, we'll be able to commission even more work for the finished book.
Until next week, friends, stick to the dark places. There's often unpleasant things lurking there, but enlightenment - and war - are best served through unpleasant experiences.

The Fascinating Ways WWI Shaped the Modern Workplace
The centenary of The Great War provides a timely reminder to consider the war's influence on today's business culture and work habits.
By Ilan Mochari, Senior writer, Inc.@IlanMochari

How do you summarize the influence of World War I? It isn't easy. But if you view it strictly in business terms, you can devise a useful list: mass production, big oil, railroad efficiency, the rise of American banking.
The thing is, there's more to the way you work today than these sweeping commercial subjects. In your office, you and your colleagues speak a certain way. You use terms and language differently than previous generations did. Likewise, the demographics of the workforce are radically different today than they were in previous decades.
You can find the roots of these changes--the linguistic habits and demographic makeup of today's workforce--in World War I.
Of course, those epic commercial topics (railroad efficiency in particular) have their influence as well. Here's a snapshot of how these subjects developed during The Great War--and continue to shape workplaces today.
1. Women in the workforce. Two quick facts, from Louisa Thomas's recent Wall Street Journal article called "How Women Stepped Up in World War I":
3 million women joined the U.S. workforce, after the U.S. joined the war in April, 1917.
By 1919, Congress had submitted the 19th Amendment to the states for ratification. The amendment was originally drafted in 1878.
"After the war, many women stopped wearing corsets; they bobbed their hair and wore bright lipstick," writes Thomas.
As she points out, all this was only the beginning: "It would take another war, and much more time, before many of the real advances would last," she writes. But in many ways, what happened during World War I was the origin of today's conversation regarding gender in the office and in leadership roles.
Whether that leader is Hillary Clinton or Marissa Mayer or Sheryl Sandberg, or whether that subject is the Hobby Lobby decision or the importance of vulnerability--there's no question, notions of management, leadership, and the workforce have changed.
2. The language of leadership. We seldom even flinch, these days, when management books invoke the language of the military. You'd be rich if you had a dime for every consultant quoting Sun Tzu. Likewise, in his upcoming book, Reid Hoffman, the cofounder of LinkedIn, urges employers to rethink employee tenures as "tours of duty."
As it turns out, the mainstreaming of military language in work settings owes a debt to World War I. Here's how A.O. Scott describes it in a recent New York Times article:
Words and phrases once specifically associated with the experience of combat on the Western Front are still part of the common language. We barely recognize "in the trenches," "no man's land" or "over the top" as figures of speech, much less as images that evoke what was once a novel form of organized mass death.
Look no further for proof than the entrepreneurial bible that is actually titled No Man's Land by Doug Tatum. The baffling realm Tatum describes is that space between survival-mode startup and professionally managed small business. His book is a useful guide to what you might call a business's late-teen years, between its fast-growth puberty and its mature early adulthood.
Generally speaking, we take for granted the language we use everyday in the office. We use it because we use it, innocently mindless of its lineage. But to the extent that today's business lexicon is sometimes a military one, that, too, has roots in The Great War.
3. The concept of supply chain efficiency (a.k.a. logistics). "The war established railways as a strategic asset, and shone a light on how inefficiently they had often been run before 1914," Laurence Eyton explains in the Wall Street Journal.
Before the war, the railroad routes were simply the railroad routes. Few thought about how to maximize their efficiency, so that objects (i.e. weaponry or soldiers) could move from point A to point B as quickly as possible. But all of that changed during and after the war. As Eyton points out:
The development of trains and rail networks during the war also influenced the science of logistics. In 1919, Syracuse University in New York became the first U.S. university to establish a program in supply-chain management. The U.K. established its first Ministry of Transport in 1920. Such events were an attempt by both academia and government to put knowledge and experience of supply management and transportation gained during the war on a firmer academic and administrative footing.
In other words, the field of logistics, too, owes a debt to World War I. Think about that, the next time you see a commercial that makes it sound like a delivery company or software provider invented the concept.

Crnogorska vaterpolska reprezentacija predstavlja državu Crnu Goru u vaterpolu. Vaterpolo je najtrofejniji crnogorski sport. Iako Crna Gora ima nešto više od pola milijuna stanovnika i jedna je od najmanjih europskih zemalja, ima osvojenih čak 10 medalja s velikih natjecanja, te zajedno s Hrvatskom i Srbijom uspješno nastavlja postjugoslavensku tradiciju vaterpola.

U javnosti i medijima Crne Gore ih zovu Crnogorske Ajkule.

Marlow Marquee Hire: If you've got an event or celebration coming up in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, and would prefer to make it an outside function, you may be looking at hiring a marquee for the purpose. The main benefit of a marquee event, is that it is simple to hire a marquee of the precise right size to cater for intended number of guests, and thus generate the ideal setting to make the occasion go with a swing.
When you're using a community hall or hotel venue, you will be stuck with the venue size as it is and this can result in you you having a large empty room for your event if enough guests don't turn up to fill the allocated space, or perhaps an overcrowded hall if too many revellers turn up.
Marquee hire in Marlow might be an option for a variety of functions and events, and could be a great solution for barmitzvahs, kid's parties, New Year parties, corporate occasions, garden parties, harvest festivals, weddings, business functions, wakes, birthday parties, discos, cocktail parties, summer parties, BBQs, Christmas parties, christening parties, proms, engagement parties, university balls, exhibitions, music festivals and other celebrations.
Whilst you might think that a marquee event will come out less costly than a hotel event, you may be shocked. This isn't often the case, and it's frequently the add-ons which force up the price and can, on occasion, cause it to be more pricey than a hotel style wedding or event. Certain marquee hire prices in Marlow will include all those extras, but you must verify this because a number of marquee hire companies will want more for: chairs, lighting, waiting staff, a starlight ceiling, tables, heating, sound equipment, decoration, a DJ, interior linings, flooring, table linen, a dance floor, furniture, doors, staging, cutlery, crockery, generators, toilets and glassware.
There are without doubt a wide variety of sizes of marquee available for hire in Marlow, so you will find it possible to hire anything from a little gazebo or instant marquee right up to an enormous festival marquee, for a county show or a musical event. Marquees are also available in an assortment of styles and designs such as: clear span marquees, stretch tents, witches hat marquees, petal pole marquees, chinese hat marquees, pagoda marquees, saddlespan tents, big tops, trispan tents, capri marquees, giant tipis, traditional pole marquees, aluminium frame marquees, eureka marquees, yurts, inflatable marquees and bedouin tents.
Hiring a marquee for a summertime function in Marlow, is a great idea because it ensures that your guests will have somewhere to retreat to if the weather turns bad, as it frequently does in Marlow. This means rainy weather isn't something you will have to fret too much about, so you're able to get on with organising all the other aspects of the event.
A major issue that you will want to establish at the outset is your spending budget for the event, so fixing your budget ahead of reserving your marquee is imperative so as to match the marquee size and design to your designated budget. To repeat, make certain that you comprehend exactly what's included for that price, you do not want any unpleasant surprises later, with lots of extras being tagged onto the bill.

Why equitable streets matter more than ever post-Covid
By ensuring that our streets cater for the needs of all, there is still time to avert an adult social care crisis, believes Andi Adams
Andi Adams
Now here's a startling fact: two people can travel along the same street at the same time but experience the journey in very different ways. One person's 800m sprint is another person's hurdles depending on age, gender, race, religion, belief, mobility (including 'hidden' disabilities), sexuality and more.
After the kidnapping and murder of Sarah Everard, thousands of women told their stories about how they walk with their keys gripped between their fingers, ready to become a makeshift defensive weapon. They told how they try not to travel alone at night or cross the road to avoid sharing the pavement with a stranger. Trans women, queer women and women of colour, women who wear garments such as the hijab or the burka may experience additional threat or sense of threat due to the compounding of intersectional characteristics. Existing in public as your authentic self can be dangerous. It can also be expensive.
A study from New York showed that women on average spend between $26 (£18) and $100 (£72) a month more than men on transport, attributed to a need to feel safe (i.e taking a cab instead of the subway).
The 'pink tax'
On average, women already earn less than men and are more time-poor. A 2016 ONS study showed that women in the UK do 60% more unpaid labour than men, mostly caring responsibilities - globally, this figure is 80%. Yet many women make travel decisions that take longer and cost more on average than those generally made by men because of the fear of gender-based violence – an example of the so-called 'pink tax'.
Caroline Criado-Perez's essential book Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men dedicates its entire first chapter to transport planning, pointing out that although women are less likely to hold driving licences than men and more likely to take a bus, bus routes tend to be arterial – a travel pattern more used by men. Due to factors such as a greater likelihood to be employed in part-time work and having more caring responsibilities, women are much more likely to have to link together work and non-work trips.
As an industry, we promote cycling as an activity that (in cities especially) is often cheaper and quicker than a commute and has covetable health and environmental outcomes. Prime minister Boris Johnson has championed the mode throughout the pandemic as being one of the safest. But the industry rarely talks about the cycling gender gap, where men have been found to be twice as likely to cycle regularly as women1. If we could eradicate that gap, we would double cycling levels and potentially observe positive outcomes related to population-based health and wellbeing. It might mean women spend less money on travel and are able to build exercise into their day. Yet I have rarely seen acknowledgement of this disparity when considering active mode shift in a transport assessment or travel plan. Giving voice to such discrepancies, and embedding them into how we design our streets, is a first step towards mitigating them.
At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic geographic software supplier ESRI made several datasets available to assist with local response. One of these showed that 70% of pavement widths in the UK were less than two metres, meaning that it was impossible to follow Government social distancing advice if you passed another person. This was not news to those who navigate the newly essential local high street using a mobility scooter or wheelchair, with a toddler and a scooter in hand or with a pushchair and shopping bags.
We live in an old country; a sizeable number of our streets were laid out for a horse and cart. We do not always have the luxury of acres of space, or the budget to start afresh. In 2015, roughly three-quarters of our housing stock was built before 1980; a fifth before 1919. Shockingly, the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 was the first piece of legislation that made it a legal requirement for transport services (including public transport) and the built environment to make reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. The implication is that most of our physical infrastructure was built to service a non-disabled 'average man'. This problem is scaling rapidly as our population ages and lives longer with disability and disease. Through our master planning, we need to shift the perspective and ensure our infrastructure services all members of society.
'Curb cut effect'
Periods of national adversity, such as Covid-19, can be followed by great innovation. The 'curb-cut effect' was named after acts of guerrilla urbanism that followed the Second World War2. Large numbers of troops were returning from Europe to America with disabilities acquired in conflict. With motorised wheelchairs becoming more widely available, kerbs became a huge barrier to independent movement. Activists took sledgehammers and bags of cement to them, creating 'curb cuts' (dropped kerbs). They proved so popular with such a wide variety of users – cyclists, people with prams and pushchairs, people with personal shopping trollies, children – that today many people do not realise that disability campaigners had to fight to legitimise them.
The 'curb cut effect' means that, often, innovations that are supposed to help one group mitigate a barrier often end up helping a much wider demographic. The Segway came from technology originally invented to produce a wheelchair that could balance on two wheels, enabling it to climb steps. The first working typewriter was built by Pellegrino Turri in 1808 for his friend Countess Carolina Fantoni da Fivizzano, who was blind, to make her writing more legible3. Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone built on his life's work as a phonics teacher in the deaf community.
The UK, incidentally, beat the US to the punch on dropped kerbs. Volume 62, Issue 3 of The Journal of the Institution of Municipal and County Engineers (itself coming out of the Public Health Act 1875 and later incorporated into the Institute for Civil Engineering) stated, "to anyone who has served his apprenticeship as a pram-pusher, the need for a dropped kerb at road junctions to allow prams to negotiate the kerb without inconvenience is apparent. This facility is already provided in certain towns". If this strikes you as unusually progressive for 1935 when women didn't tend to be engineers and men didn't tend to push prams, well noticed. In this case the word 'pram' almost certainly means a surveyor's wheel, or what we might call a trundlewheel.
Early in the pandemic sentiments were widely expressed about how we were all in it together, but Covid-19 disproportionately impacted on people from ethnic minority backgrounds – 42% of whom live in England's most green-space deprived neighbourhoods. It was most deadly for older people and took a huge toll on the mental health of a young generation already bearing the brunt of fallout from the 2008 recession and the decade of austerity that followed.
Austerity began in 2010; the same year the Equality Act was ratified. Planning departments have seen huge cuts which has often left them unable to shoulder the additional responsibility of analysing the equity of the spaces they approve, with the accompanying paradigm shift that the required engagement with the characteristic groups protected by the Act would entail. But this is a false economy because equitable access to green, blue and social infrastructure could be the difference between adult social care costs representing an escalating crisis, or a diminishing one. Post-pandemic, equitable streets are not merely important. They could feasibly be our saving grace.

Moving Droplets
Nicole Sharp - March 19, 2019 October 28, 2019
Microfluidic devices – such as those used by individuals with diabetes to monitor their blood glucose levels – are all about transport. Typically, these devices use some kind of externally applied force, like a temperature gradient or electrical field, to force liquids through the device's narrow channels. But a new study describes a way to move droplets without an external force.
The researchers built their devices using two slips of glass, coated with an oil-attracting, water-repellent mixture. They attached the glass slips with a narrow spacer at one end, leaving the other end free. This made a narrow, but slightly flexible gap. When the scientists placed an oil drop inside the closed end, it spread on the glass, pulling the two sides closer to one another. Water drops, on the other hand, tried to force the walls apart, in an effort to minimize contact. Both sets of drops, interestingly, moved toward the open end of the device.
The researchers found that the shapes assumed by the droplets create an internal pressure gradient, which, in both cases, slowly moves the drops. They call this method bendotaxis, a type of self-propulsion driven by the drops' ability to bend the material they're touching. It's not a fast way to transport fluids – the drops moved only a few micrometers per second – but it may be useful for applications like drug deliveries where the liquid needs to be administered slowly over a longer period.

Nerves. You need steady nerves when you publish a book.
My book, Youthful Aging Secrets: Live Better For Longer is now published on Amazon, but my nerves are still jangling. There are a lot of moving parts to get right, once you've completed your final draft.
During my journey from idea to published book, I realized what I most enjoy writing is narrative nonfiction. This means joining good research with compelling, character-driven storytelling.
Let me give you a quick example from my book, Youthful Aging Secrets. It's the story of Cliff Young.

Instead of lycra, he was wearing long pants with holes cut for ventilation. A hush fell when Cliff went to the registration desk and picked up a race number.
"You gonna race?" one of the competitors called out.
"In your boots?" the guy continued. People in the crowd chuckled.
Then, a reporter asked him if he thought he could win. "Yep. I'll give it a go," Cliff said. He was willing to try anything!
Cliff Young had lined up for one of the world's most grueling endurance races, the Sydney to Melbourne ultra-marathon which stretches over 875 kilometers.
When the starter gun sounded, the field of fit, young guys breezed past him. The crowd laughed out loud when they saw that Cliff couldn't run properly. He seemed to shuffle along at a snail's pace.
In this race, competitors would usually complete the course over five days, running about eighteen hours a day and sleeping for the remaining six. But nobody told Cliff about this.
When his competitors woke up after the first night, they asked how the "old looney" was doing. "Oh, he's doing good," one of the organizers said. "He ran all night and is two hours ahead of you guys." As you can imagine, this wiped the smile off their faces.
Cliff kept on running with minimal stops, lengthening the lead each day. During the first few days, he fell and injured his shoulder. But Cliff soldiered on.
Cliff's performance-enhancing diet consisted of Weet-Bix, cold tinned spaghetti, boiled potatoes, egg flips, and pumpkin.
Halfway through the race, the weather turned bad and it started to bucket down. Someone tried to hand Cliff a water-proof jacket, but his shoulder was causing him so much pain that he couldn't lift his arm to put it on.

It's taken me a little over five months from having the initial idea to seeing my book, Youthful Aging Secrets on Amazon.
And I've written about every step here on WTD to make things easy for you.
First there was the agile development of the book idea. Next, I had to battle the dreaded mid-way slump and find a way to keep myself motivated.
I had to overcome self-doubt and confusion. And, once the first draft was ready, I had to master editing. Next, I had to come up with a bestselling book title and write an 'imperfect' author bio.
When it came to deciding on the book cover design, I got so confused, I asked some WTD readers for help. And this wonderful group of readers—whom I call the YA Posse—also gave me excellent feedback as beta-readers.
When faced with the last phase of publishing and marketing, I knew I couldn't find my way through on my own. I bought Chandler Bolts excellent guide, Book Launch. In chapter 24, Chandler offers a Kindle Book Launch Blueprint which I followed religiously.
Chandler Bolt suggested publishing my book as an ebook for Kindle, and as a paperback. This is easy to do with Amazon KDP. The feedback I got from the YA Posse gave me the idea of creating a companion workbook as well.
The most important thing now is to get as many downloads of the Kindle version as possible so that the book climbs up the Amazon ranks. For the first four days, the Kindle edition is free.

Another crucial factor is getting 5-star reviews on Amazon. I'm praying that readers think my book deserves a top review and take the trouble to write one.
