Selecting a Theme
Add your suggestions about how to go about selecting a theme for your novel.
It can be anything that really grips your imagination and which you would like to write about. Preferably it should be something you have a fair amount of idea about, because that will save you a lot of research.
At times an idea for a theme would strike you - jot it down. You may not have the time to build upon it just then, but do write down what ever you have thought at that time, for later reference. It may be worthwhile maintaining a notebook or journal for this purpose.
David Langford once wrote that there is no worse advice for a writer of fiction than "write about what you know", because it leads to sterile attempts to recreate one's own experience. Do not be afraid to write about something rare and exceptional and different from your own life either. (Keeping in mind, however, that the emotions still have to feel real, the novel still has to ring true.) Especially now, when information on almost any topic is freely available via the Internet, there is no excuse for fiction writers not to reach out to subjects which they have very little experience with.
But no matter what it is that you want to write about, the thing to do is to GET STARTED. The idea is not to wait for the whole story to crystallize, and not to keep procrastinating; pick up your pen (or get down to your keyboard) and start - that is the only way to get it done.
When choosing a theme, make sure you are writing about a subject you find interesting. One of the best ways to make writing a tedious effort is to write about a subject that you do not care about.
Furthermore, sometimes your best ideas come through your subconscious. When you awake, you may want to write down the major feeling, or what you saw or did; this may be a whole story in itself, or perhaps the missing piece to your character.
When thinking about a theme for your story, be sure not to confuse it with the conflict, as they are two very different things. Conflict is what drives the events of the story, whereas theme is the overall idea or emotion that ties it all together and makes it human. For example, imagine you are writing a crime story, and the conflict occurs when the hero comes home to find a note saying that his daughter has been kidnapped by an escaped convict. Possible themes for such a story could be good verses evil, the strength of the human spirit, or the unbreakable bond between parent and child. If you do not have an idea for a theme before you start a novel do not worry - you will discover it as you go along, because these things develop naturally.
It is very important for a novel to be well researched, irrespective of what the subject or topic is. It makes the story more interesting and authentic. Remember Arthur Hailey or Dan Brown? The research that goes into each of their books is what makes them all the more interesting.
Research can help you add detail and texture to your story that might otherwise be lacking. For stories that you invent spells (fantasy), research into existing methods of magic can help you come up with ceremonies that you might well be able to adapt, adding a colorful touch to your fiction.
It also help in adding small little touches to your novel that make it more interesting to read. For instance, if you know that there is one particular bird who can only sing one note, you could use this as interesting foreshadowing.
As Charley reached for the door, he heard a solitary chirp. "A C-sharp," he murmured...
Creating an Outline
Should you first create an outline of your novel, or is it better to start off and then build it up as ideas come along? Or a mix of both?
I feel it is always better to start off with a broad blueprint or outline of your story. You can build it up and modify it as the story develops.
It is good to have a broad idea of how you want your story to go, but in the initial writing process it is good to have a lot of flexibility to fiddle around with things as well.
Everyone writes differently: some swear by outlines and others swear at them. It is up to you to figure out which kind of writer you are. However, if this is your first novel, you are far more likely to finish it if you have something written down beforehand, something that will show you where to go when you get stuck (which you will). At the very least, know how the story is going to end before you begin. It may change along the way, but at least you will have a direction to head in and a goal to aim for.
A very good thing to do once you have a basic idea in mind is to carry a small (or big - if it is convenient) notebook around, and keep noting down any ideas that strike you. Ideas have this annoying habit of striking you at the most annoying of moments, just when you are not prepared for them. Remember Archimedes?
Some people, however, will begin a written work with very little knowledge of what is to come. Many of these people will write until something coherent comes out, then go back and make the rest of the story fit. This is especially true of many people who participate in National Novel Writing Month.
Creating your Characters
How do you decide the personalities of characters in your novel? A suggested method is to base them on real people you know (without offending them). Another idea along those lines is to take characteristics of some friends (or enemies) and take them to the extreme. Breathe life into your characters and make them think on their own. Once your characters are living breathing creatures, the plot should fall around them.
Take characteristics of yourself, or the opposite characteristics of yourself, and spread them through many characters. Experiment: give your female characters characteristics of male friends, and vice versa.
Another way to build up your characters is to keep your eyes and ears open. Look around you, especially in public places such as airports. Observe the people around you: how they behave - the way they scold their children, the way the wife is obviously annoyed at her husband. You will learn a lot of nuances which you can include. As discussed earlier, it may be a good idea to keep a notebook and pen handy to note down whatever strikes you. And the best part is that the whole exercise would take away the monotony of waiting for the flight.
The way people dress is often reflective of their attitude. A lot of good authors use this technique of describing a person's clothes and thereby reflecting their characters' personality. Try this: notice people in a public place, and try to describe their clothes; try linking this with the way you picture their personality.
Naming your characters is another very important aspect. Here is an excellent article regarding naming characters. http://www.fictionfactor.com/guests/name.html
Developing Your Style
Without the motive of plagiarising, you must study your favourite authors carefully and pick up ideas about their style of writing and modify the same to suit yours; how can you create a piece of artwork without appreciating art other artist's work within the genre. Some writers like describing every single thing; for example, the type of wood the table is made of, the smells at the country [?county] fair, or the deep blue-green scales of the invading dragon. Some people keep details sparse and include only things necessary to get the plot moving along.
Another important literacy style is the use of third or first person. Find out what sort of style you like writing best, and be sure to stick with it. Unless there is some specific reason for writing different parts of your novel in a different style, your readers are going to be very confused when you give a rich first person view detailed chapter and suddenly switch to a whole other writing style entirely. I strongly urge consistency.
Get feedback. Correct errors. Cut parts out. Perfect it!
Lets face it: nobody can write a perfect first draft. Sooner or later you are going to have to edit it for little things like grammatical errors, to big plot holes. The first draft will be very basic, but once it is written you can add more detail and fix most errors; do not worry about fixing grammar or punctuation errors until a later draft, as the story is much more important at this stage; furthermore, editing too much errors in your first draft will be messy and confusing. For later drafts, perhaps third, fourth, it would be a good idea to have someone else look at it. Reading it yourself over and over again is helpful but even then you just do not catch something a fresh reader would. I personally leave something alone for a whole month or so, look at it and correct it, and am sure to look at it again, perhaps another month later. It helps me catch things, but it is usually best to find someone to help you. The more help you can get the better. If you have a book club you like, let them have a look at it - you know they love reading. Perhaps a teacher or mentor, or even a friend, can look at it. There are also lots of places online such as Writing.com. While posting your work online can help get people to look at it, it might be possible for someone to plagiarise it. Be sure to put it in a place where it is protected and be sure to add a copyright notice - it's your work. Be aware of copyright laws in your country.
Something that might be scary to deal with is plot holes. A reader might point out a little mistake your character said that could contradict something you wrote earlier on. Hopefully it will not be such a huge mistake that you will have to write half your book, but believe me, it can happen. I have rewritten over twelve chapters due to large mistakes. This is where perseverance comes in again - you just have to keep at it. Do not feel bad about making mistakes because everyone makes them. You are not a bad writer because you made a huge mistake and had to rewrite a whole chapter. Rome was not built in a day, and they surely made mistakes along the way too.
A hard lesson you may have to learn is simply letting go of things. It depends on what you are writing, but if there is something in your novel that is completely unnecessary (i.e., no character development in a particular scene, a particular scene is not very entertaining, or introduces a minor character that will confuse things later) you may need to erase it and forget about it. You might have gotten really attached to Jim and his scene at the skating rink, or you may have loved Dorothia's cute little quirk, but if you really need to let go of something, let go of it and erase. Perhaps you can put Dorothia's little quirk on another character or Jim can show up later, but the point is no matter how much you love something, if you KNOW your novel would be better off without it, take it out. I know it is hard. Before you erase big parts of your novel, however, SAVE EVERYTHING! Especially on a computer. If you delete a 12-page scene, save it and hide it away; there may have been something there you wanted to use after all.
Even with heavy editing, you may not be pleased with the way something has come out. It is important for you to love what you have written but you also have to understand many writers or artists are never pleased with their work. This is another reason feedback is important. You might think it is the worst trash ever written but if a hundred other people think it is brilliant, you need to consider that.
Putting it All Together
I guess the main thing about getting it actually done is perseverance. You need to put in some amount of writing time EVERYDAY, no matter how busy your schedule is. And even if you don't not actually get down to writing everyday, you can at least give some thought to developing your story and/or your characters in your mind. You can do that while traveling, or even while slacking off at work.
Of course, if you are a gentleman (or lady) at large, with adequate time and resources (money) at your disposal, you can take the time off and head out to the mountains or Caribbean and rent a cottage to devote time to your literary pursuits. But most of us are not as lucky - at least, not for the first novel. So the requirement of juggling time between managing a full-time job and yet finding the time and inclination to write while keeping the wife and family happy at the same time.
Getting it Published
There are hordes of aspiring writers out there, besides the well established ones.
Many people believe a literary agent will help with the publishing process. It can be tricky to find the one that is right for you, but agents know about the business, have contacts in the business, would know what publishers would be most receptive of your work, and generally they can get a better contract than you would be able to negotiate yourself. Many new authors do not know how much money they should get up front, how royalties work, or many other aspects of the business. Agents take care of this for you. Writer Beware: look for agents that will disclose their satisfied clients list. If they are not willing to disclose names, they could very well be a fly-by-night agency. When in doubt, check your favorite author's books for the agency they use, or check with the A.A.R. (Association of Author's Representatives.)
It should also be noted that many of the larger publishing companies have what is called an "open call" for unpublished authors. Many of these even accept submissions from authors without agents. Be aware, however, that most of these companies have very strict guidelines of how a manuscript should look when submitted. Check with your favorite publisher's website to see if they have an open call.

According to local news outlet Florida Times-Union, Julie Turner quickly notified local authorities after her son excitedly declared that the odd sighting was actually part of an old ship.
Archaeologists with the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, along with other organizations, have been investigating the wreckage and suspect that it is a well-preserved section of a wooden ship's hull, Creamer said. - A 48-foot section of an old sailing ship has washed ashore on a Florida beach, thrilling researchers who are rushing to study it before it's reclaimed by the sea.
"They've been so fantastic - they've been watching it all unfold", Creamer said of Turner and her son.
A well-preserved shipwreck that dates back to over 200 years ago washed ashore on a Florida beach on Tuesday night.
As to why remnants of the long-abandoned ship have just recently appeared, the museum's researchers speculate that the wreck was initially buried in a near-shore sandbar, where it was buffeted by years of wave action.
Earlier this week, an 18th Century ship happened to wash up on Ponte Verde Beach.
Marc Anthony owns a treasure shop in St. Augustine, and said he couldn't believe what washed ashore. This is very, very rare. "This is the holy grail of shipwrecks", Anthony said. Two beachgoers discovered the remains of the 18th-century shipwreck early Wednesday morning, and researchers are now working to create a three-dimensional model of what the ship would have looked like in "its original form", according to the Daily Mail on Thursday.
A team of archaeologists examined the wreckage after the discovery, as requested by Guana State Park, and will determine its country of origin and age.
According to the Florida Times-Union out of Jacksonville, the hull of the shipwreck, which measures almost 50-foot-long, could date as far back as the late 1700s. He said it's most likely a merchant ship, but could've come from anywhere.
"We want the public to come take pictures, see it and talk about it because sometimes archaeology is done in areas that people can't see", she said.

text: Loan officer: Alex Greer, The Mortgage Outlet. Property type: Single-family residence in San Jose. Appraisal value: $990,000 (appraisal waiver). Loan type: Conventional 15-year fixed. Loan amount: $510,400. Rate: 2.125 percent. APR: 2.196 percent. Backstory: Same story, different borrower. RUN, don\u2019t walk, to refinance 2.0. Interest rates are still at all-time lows and if COVID-19 keeps teaching us anything it is to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. With so many great unknowns about the evolution of the economy and future policy response, borrowers should be preparing for the worst by locking in their savings on their one-way bet. A fixed rate mortgage is the best financial instrument in the world, because if you're right and rates go up you are protected but if you\u2019re wrong and rates go down, you just refinance again. It's a one-way renegotiation. With these particular borrowers, they said they knew from the first second they would be refinancing with me because I picked up the phone on the first ring. They went on to tell me they can\u2019t even get big banks or retail lenders to even return their first call or, worse, they wait on hold for hours to have the line disconnect at the end of the work day. As for their refinance, the borrowers are nearing retirement and made the decision it is best for them to pay down their mortgage balance by over $200,000 to bring their new loan size to $510,400. That amount is the cut off between a high-balance conforming loan and a conforming loan. Conforming loans have lower interest rates than their high-balance counterparts and for these borrowers it justified paying down the balance. Common with most refinances today, we received an upfront appraisal waiver from AUS, only needed one year\u2019s tax returns, no assets and the refinance only took 23 days from start to finish. Again, borrowers should RUN, don\u2019t walk, to refinance. Alex Greer, The Mortgage Outlet, 408-352-5147, firstname.lastname@example.org.

Forget all the euphoria around that result, we need to be honest - that should not have been a penalty to England.
Raheem Sterling went to ground far too easily and the referee, Danny Makkelie, got it badly wrong. The officiating standards at this tournament have generally been very good but Makkelie has been one of the few who has been inconsistent with his decision-making - he was at it again before the penalty incident with his continual failure to punish Jannik Vestergaard for a series of fouls - and this was a serious error, given that it ended up effectively deciding the match.
There are two things to say. The first is that this highlights the problems for referees in this day and age when you are confronted by players who are looking to earn penalties and go over at the merest hint of contact. Refereeing is a tough enough job as it is without players making their jobs harder.
Proof that this was a poor call came when you heard the TV commentators and pundits discussing it: none of them could even agree what the alleged 'foul' was. Was it for a possible trip by Joakim Maehle, or a body check by Mathias Jensen? Frankly, neither looked serious enough for Sterling to go over.
The second was that this was a classic instance of the referee needing to be able to go over and look at his monitor. We haven't seen enough of it at this tournament but referees need to do it more frequently off their own back, rather than being told to do it by their colleague watching remotely - I'm convinced that had Makkelie done so, he would have overturned his decision.
As it was, the Var was never going to call it as a clear and obvious error by Makkelie and get him to look at it again.
Var has generally worked well at this tournament - certainly far smoother than in the Premier League, where the process is slow and cumbersome - but this was a rare failing. The fact that England were the beneficiaries should not disguise that fact, even if England fans won't care.
Penalty reaction - what was said
Raheem Sterling: "I went into the box, he stuck his right leg out, and he touched my leg so it was a penalty."
Arsene Wenger: "No penalty. In a moment like that I don't understand why they don't ask the referee to have a look at that and to have a clear view. It's important that the referee must be absolutely convinced it was a penalty and I don't understand why the VAR did not ask him to look at it."
Lee Dixon: "I'm not so sure there's an awful lot of contact. The referee's vision is spot on but I can't see there's any contact."
Micah Richards: "We've got to say it how it is. They go to VAR, and I can't see how that's not overturned. I don't know if the crowd had a part to play in it because they were shouting and the roof absolutely lifted when Sterling went down. I think the officials have got that decision wrong."

A woman was pushed to her death from a subway platform into the path of an oncoming train at Times Square, according to New York City transit police.
The incident happened around 9.40am EST on 15 January; the woman was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the New York City Police Department.
Police reported that the woman was standing near the N, Q and R train platform at the Times Square–42nd Street stop when a man approached and pushed her in front of a southbound R train.
A suspect is in custody. The woman’s name and age were not immediately available.
According to The New York Daily News, a 61-year-old homeless man reportedly pushed the woman, entered a nearby train car, stepped off at the Canal Street stop and confessed to the crime at a nearby transit police station.
Her death follows renewed pledges from Mayor Eric Adams to boost the presence of police at subway stations in an effort to prevent crime.
“Omnipresence is the key,” the mayor said at a press conference this month. “People feel the system is not safe because they don’t see officers. We’re going to bring a visual presence to our systems.”
The mayor was seen travelling to the Times Square station on Saturday.
Ridership on the city’s subways in 2021 fell more than 50 per cent from their pre-pandemic rates, as a series of high-profile crimes have drawn scrutiny into subway violence, while rates of major crimes were overall at their lowest in roughly two decades.
More than 2,000 officers are assigned to patrol the city’s subways, and Mayor Adams and New York Governor Kathy Hochul said earlier this month that more officers will be performing sweeps across stations.
There were three murders reported in the city’s subways in 2019 and six in 2020. Through November, six murders were reported in 2021.

"Semiconductor devices form the essential components of most electronic devices. The fabrication of circuit elements to manufacture these devices is done by a process known as photolithography, using photoresist layer deposition, optical masks, and etching. As feature sizes become smaller, higher optical precision is required, necessitating an optically flat surface on the photoresist layer. The surface of the photoresist layer can become uneven because of conformation to the topography of the layers underneath or a change in shape of the layer after evaporation of solvent. To combat this, Brewer Science, Inc. has developed a contact planarization process (CON-TACT®) in which an optically flat surface is used to transfer its planarity to the surface of the photoresist. However, due to high pressure from the viscous photoresist fluid during the process, the optically flat surface becomes deformed. To solve this problem, a detailed simulation and analysis of the pressure distribution along the plate is needed to find the optimal conditions to reduce the deformation of the optically flat surface. In the current work, the CFD package FLUENT was used to simulate the evaporation and planarization processes"--Abstract, page iii.

UN joins global task force to create new ‘green’ economy
The initiative comes in response to an invitation made by United Kingdom Prime Minister Gordon Brown at the annual World Economic Forum Summit in Davos, Switzerland, in January to create an unprecedented low-carbon prosperity task force.
Some 52 businesses and 34 experts and organizations have joined the task force, which will work with governments and organizations such as the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UN Foundation to identify how to create millions of urgently needed “green jobs” and to steer global economic growth onto a more sustainable, low-carbon direction.
“We believe 2009 is a crucial year for two reasons,” Richard Samans, Managing Director of the World Economic Forum, said in an open letter to Mr. Brown ahead of this week’s so-called Group of 20 (G-20) Summit in London, which will discuss solutions to the current global economic crisis.
Mr. Samans suggested that by placing low-carbon growth strategies at the heart of economic stimulus measures being injected into many ailing economies, tackling the global recession and achieving a new international treaty on reducing greenhouse gas emissions – to be concluded at the UN-led climate change conference in Copenhagen in December – can be mutually reinforcing.
“The G-20 governments can, politically and practically, signal their determination to transform the current economic crisis into an opportunity by committing a serious part of the multi-trillion dollar stimulus packages to low-carbon investments,” said Achim Steiner, UNEP Executive Director.
“In doing so, they will be setting the stage for sealing the deal in Copenhagen, and setting the stage for a resource efficient, innovation-led 21st century green economy. That is what business needs to know and that is what the low-carbon prosperity initiative is calling for,” he added.

There are now 77 solicitor advocates practising in Scotland.
Although those with dual rights of audience in the High Court of Justiciary and the Court of Session, House of Lords and Judicial Committee of the Privy Council number only two, the number of applications for civil rights of audience has now reached 27, compared to 48 solicitor advocates granted criminal rights.
There were a large number of applications for criminal rights of audience at the outset. But, the most recent applicants have been civil litigators.
One of the most recent grantees is Brodies litigation partner Joyce Cullen, bringing the number of solicitor advocates at the Edinburgh-based firm up to five.
She comments: “One of the primary reasons for applying for extended rights of audience is to offer a wider service and facility for our clients.
“But that does not necessarily mean that we will no longer be instructing counsel – there is still a place for counsel.”
One of the main reasons for the recent increase in civil applicants for extended rights is the new commercial court, which, with its more informal and user-friendly procedure and atmosphere is ideally suited to the new
The now perennial question of joint representation or 'mixed doubles' of a solicitor advocate appearing with counsel continues to be discussed by the dean of the Faculty of Advocates and the president of the Law Society of Scotland.
It is acknowledged that this 'mixed doubles ban' is anomalous because many solicitors in Scotland, historically, are used to appearing in jury trials, and probably appear more frequently than their counterparts south of the border.
And with the anticipated increase in the use of the commercial court, that is seen as the main area where joint representation would be likely to be necessary.


In Chelsea, Massachusetts, a 2-year-old boy owes his life to a stuffed cow. The Boston Globe reports that the boy was bouncing on his bed and accidentally sailed right through an open window. He landed on a concrete slab in the backyard, but avoided serious injury because he was clutching his two-foot tall stuffed cow.
In Orlando, Florida, a man was stopped for driving without headlights. Police found a white power substance in his car and said a field test showed it tested positive for co.caine. The man said he repeatedly told officers that it was drywall, according to the Associated Press. He spent 90 days in jail before lab results determine it was drywall. The news report did not say whether the man is seeking restitution.
In Alpharetta, Georgia, police stopped a man for speeding. But the officer was not prepared for what he saw in the car. In the passenger seat was a life-sized alien doll with a seatbelt on. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the man did not explain why he had this “passenger.” The driver got off with a verbal warning—and some laughs from the officer—who took pictures and posted them on social media.
In Sydney, Australia, Opal cards are part of the smartcard ticketing system used for public transport services in the greater Sydney area and can be used for transport via bus, rail, light rail and ferry services within the city. The near-field communication chip within each of the cards is required for entering and exiting the transport stations. To avoid losing his card, a man had the near-field communication chip from an Opal card cut down, encased in bio-compatible plastic, and inserted into his body just beneath the skin on the side of his left hand, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. But, that wasn’t what struck me about the story. The man’s name is Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow.
At Shanghai Pudong International Airport in China, an airplane passenger’s superstitious actions ended up grounding a China Southern Airlines flight for several hours. The woman threw a handful of coins into an Airbus 320’s engine to “wish a safe flight,” according to police. Fellow travelers said they saw the elderly woman toss the change from halfway up the boarding staircase. Crew members ordered passengers who had already boarded off the aircraft so engineers could inspect the engine. They found one coin inside the engine and eight on the ground nearby, the South China Morning Post reports. The flight eventually departed about five hours later than scheduled.

A policeman who reacted to recent campaign against police brutality, has stated that those clamouring for end of SARS are criminals.
The policeman identified as King C Clear Odiase, added that those clamouring for end of SARS are not only criminals but also sponsored. He wrote;
To protect my wife and family is not an issue, I am just having sympathy for others. Those who clamour for the authority to end SARS are criminals or criminally sponsored check them very well.
He has long deleted the post following the backlash he faced.
Recall that in 2006, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) was formed to combat robbery in Nigeria – it worked. The idea was premised upon the Operation Sweep, formed by former Lagos State Military Administrator, Colonel Buba Marwa around 1997. The same was also recreated in Ibadan, Oyo State under the name Operation Gbale.
Around 2009, SARS found its way into Nigerian Universities as a medium to repress the surge of internet fraud and cultism which had spilled to the streets. This era also coincided with the radicalism of style and fashion evolution amongst Nigerians under 35.
What SARS became was a national scourge that a witch-hunt machinery against Nigerian youth with dreadlocks, piercings, cars, expensive phones and risque means of expression. This led to the #EndSARS campaign, against the constant abuse of office by SARS operatives.

Science has found new clues to why you may find yourself smiling at babies. Maybe after you’ve had one, this effect is even more pronounced, but scientists have long thought that we are programmed for survival to react to a baby’s face. Whether or not we say we like children, most people react positively to a baby’s face.
Now science appears to have real proof, as reported in an article in today’s Wall Street Journal:
Using a technique called magneto-encephalography that measures brain signals, the Oxford researchers found that a baby’s face can seize our attention in milliseconds, activating an unusual mental organ called the fusiform gyrus that responds to human faces. Moreover, these distinctive infant features, unlike the mature features of an adult, trigger a sense of reward and good feeling in a seventh of a second. Picture Bambi’s saucer-size eyes or those of Mickey Mouse.
So, if friends, or even your wife, are teasing you that you’ve gone soft around babies, maybe it’s not that you’re evolving, maybe just that we have as a species, to protect the little ones in our midst.


After Ferrari had built and raced a series of six- and eight-cylinder cars under the Dino banner (so named to commemorate Enzo's fallen son), it was inevitable that a road-going car would be built under this name, and in 1968 the gorgeous mid-engined, two-seat Dino 206 GT appeared. Like many Ferraris of the period, the Dino's beautiful body was designed by Pininfarina and produced by Scaglietti, and in this case was aluminum for the entire run of 150 built in late 1968 and 1969. The transverse mounted 2-liter, 160-hp V-6 had an aluminum block as well, built by Fiat.
Production of the 2-liter 206 GT ended in 1969 to make way for the 2.4-liter 246 GT. The 246 GT's coachwork was almost identical to the earlier car, this time in steel, possibly as a result of Ferrari realizing that this car was going to be produced in numbers never before seen by the company. Cast iron replaced aluminum for the new car's engine block, and this motor now made 195 hp initially, and 180 hp for cars sent to the United States.
Enthusiasts generally group the 246s into three broad categories. The first series of 357 built are known as the "L" cars, identifiable by their having the same wheels as the earlier 206 GT. The "M" series cars, of which 507 were built, had Cromodora wheels and a different windshield wiper arrangement. Finally, the "E" series cars appeared in late 1971 and were the most numerous, filling out the balance of the total 3,883 cars built. Included in this final series was the 246 GTS, which incorporated a neat Targa-style removable roof for those who desired an open-air option. "Chairs and Flares" are the most desirable optional equipment for these cars, and the phrase refers to Daytona-style seats and metal flares that widened the bodywork. While these two options typically appeared together, they could be ordered separately as well.
The Ferrari Dino 246 GT's $14,500 MSRP was comparable to the Porsche 911 during the early 1970s, the car it most closely competed with. Since that time, the Dino has appreciated in a way that its German counterpart has yet to see. Furthermore, the Dino’s 2.4-liter V-6 creates a wonderfully entertaining high-RPM scream just a foot behind the driver’s ears, which simply heightens the ownership and driving experience even more. Very impressive for a car that was a "budget" offering when new and wasn’t even deemed worthy of the prancing pony badge.

Volubilis was founded in the 3rd century B.C. It was once an important outpost of the ancient Roman empire. Now, it is the site of the most important Roman ruins in Morocco. It is situated near Meknes between Fes and Rabat. The Archaeological Site of Volubilis is a UNESCO World Heritage site, listed for being “an exceptionally well preserved example of a large Roman colonial town on the fringes of the Empire”. We were amazed at how well preserved the ruins were. They were mostly intact until they were destroyed by an earthquake in the mid-18th century then looted by Moroccan rulers looking for stone to build Meknes.
We visited Volubilis while travelling from Rabat to Fes. It offered a fascinating peek into the ancient Roman lives but the heat was unbearable. Oh, and we also met some fellow South Africans there with whom we shared our Moroccan experiences thus far.

What are the benefits of an infrared sauna?
Infrared saunas are a very effective mechanism for natural healing and prevention. The key is the infrared light, as it has the ability to penetrate human tissue producing a host of anti-aging health benefits and other numerous advantages:
Detoxification: It happens by heating the body directly, causing a rise in core temperature. This results in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside.
Relaxation (sleep improvement): Unlike traditional saunas which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep.
Weight loss: It promotes weight loss by detoxifying the body and burning calories while you relax in total comfort.
Pain relief: Infrared sauna heat penetrates tissue, joints and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.
Blood pressure reduction: Sunlighten infrared saunas induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation.
Improved circulation: Regular infrared sauna use – especially in the mid infrared range – can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.
Anti-aging: The near infrared wavelengths are the most effective wavelengths for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Near infrared treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.
Cell health, muscle recovery and immunity: Near infrared light therapy stimulates the circulatory system and more fully oxygenates the body’s cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system.

I am delighted to share this little-seen cover for the 1933 Irish language edition of Bram Stocker’s Dracula. The deceptively simple design is by Austin Molloy (1886–1961) who signed his work AóM (Austin Ó Maolaoid). The three-colour design employs two shades of green and a yellow, a colour choice which we wouldn’t associate with the gothic or horror genres today yet is quite effective here. This fascinating chronology of Dracula covers shows that Molloy’s work is among the earliest illustrated covers and that the iconography we now associate with the book was in its infancy when he tackled the commission. There is no sign of any visual influence from Nosferatu (1922) or the first official film adaptation (1931) in Molloy’s design.
Austin Molloy was born in Castleknock, Dublin in 1886. He attended the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art between 1909 and 1916 where he befriended fellow student Harry Clarke. The two made a sketching trip together to the Aran Islands in 1909. As a student, Molloy contributed cartoons to Arthur Griffith’s Sinn Féin newspaper for 1 shilling and 6 pence per week. His cartoon work also appeared early on in Charles E. Kelly’s Dublin Opinion which began publication in 1922. In 1923 he took over teaching Harry Clarke’s illustration and layout course at the Metropolitan School of Art. Between them they taught a generation of talented designers who made their mark in the ‘thirties and ‘forties. These included George Altendorf, Olive Cunningham, Richard King, Victor Penney and John Henry.
Molloy was a prolific book cover artist and above is a small selection of his work. His main client was An Gúm (The Scheme) which was a government initiative started in 1925 to publish books in Irish. Under the Oifig Díolta Foillseacháin Rialtais (Government Publications Office) and Oifig An tSoláthair (Stationary Office) imprints, An Gúm published numerous titles. These included translations of works by English, American and European writers as well as original Irish books. It is interesting to see Molloy employ the same art deco-style lettering on the covers of Ben Hur, Iain Áluinn and Dracula.
Molloy also designed the cover for the Irish translation of another popular classic – H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds (Cogadh na Reann) while Arthur Conan Doyle’s Hound of the Baskervilles (Cú na mBaskerville) is graced by cover art from Victor Penney, one of Molloy’s more talented students from the Metropolitan School.
It is great to see Dracula’s Dublin-born creator being celebrated in the form of the Bram Stoker Festival. As part of this year’s festival the Irish language first edition of Dracula (above), along with other key foreign first editions, will be on view at the Little Museum of Dublin from the 25th of October until the 25th of November in an exhibit titled “Dracula: Life after Death”.

I will be packing as many Irish books with beautiful jacket and cover artwork and bringing them to the Dialogue Culture Space in Vyner Street, East London for a pop-up exhibition from Thursday 6 to Saturday 8 September.
I’ve been looking for an excuse to post the three covers above for some time. All three are from the late sixties, employ two shades of green in varying degrees of abstraction and are printed paper cases. But other than that, I’m afraid, I know little about them except that their simplicity really appeals to me.
W.G. Spencer, who designed the abstracted reeds on a river bank for the cover of Ceol na nGiolcach, may be the architect of the same name who contributed sketches of old Dublin buildings to The Irish Builder from 1963-4.

I’ve been very tardy in updating the blog of late, a trend I hope to reverse in future as I’ve built up a back-log of interesting book covers. Unfortunately, it is proving difficult to find information on a lot of the designers and illustrators and that is causing me to hesitate about posting covers. I will try to keep updating at regular intervals regardless of the depth of detail I’ve managed to amass on the artist involved.
Recently, Will Schofield of the excellent 50watts blog (formerly A Journey Round My Skull) featured 14 covers of Irish language books from the 1930s from my collection. The covers include artwork by Austin Molloy, George Altendorf, Olive Cunningham, Michael A Keane, and Victor Penny, all of who studied illustration and layout at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art (now the National College of Art & Design).
Above are four of the featured designs by artists that I have been unable to identify. The bold flat colours really jump off the page and make a great argument for embracing spot colour printing in contemporary book covers as the ubiquitous four colour process (CYMK) can’t come close to reproducing such vivid shades.
I hope to feature Molloy, Altendorf, Cunningham, Keane and Penny in individual posts as each is a significant book jacket artist in the their own right. In the meantime, take a look at some nice examples of their work over at 50watts.

While I normally like to post a number of similar or related covers together, I’ve been struggling to find anything that I could group with the above design. It’s a beautiful three colour illustration, for a mid-sixties collection of poetry in Irish by Séamus Ó hAodha, but no artist is credited. The textured paper wraps directly onto the hardback boards and feels like a children’s book, an impression that the illustration accentuates. This is a great example of mid-century ‘naïve‘ design that is currently enjoying a revival. The use of the term ‘naïve’ to describe this style is rather inappropriate, while the designs have a childlike quality the artists behind them are invariably well skilled and knowing.

I picked up this booklet a few years ago for the princely sum of €1 – drawn in by the amazing cover rather than the promise of the story within (my Irish is not great). Published in 1960 by Oifig an tSolátair, this is the sort of artwork which makes serious designers cringe but is really a wonderful piece of vernacular design.
The title translates as Eamonn Róg, The Half-Witted Cowboy and we can only imagine the shenanigans our hero gets up to after he hitches his horse outside the GPO and moseys on up O’Connell Street. What a great juxtaposition of iconography – the GPO, Tri-Colour flag, Nelson’s Pillar, the green double decker and the Garda looking on while the sheriff steps straight out of a Western movie and onto the streets of Baile Átha Cliath.
Yet again the cover artist is uncredited but more examples from the same hand – with one credited to a mysterious L.M.S. – can be found in this gallery of fantastic covers from An Gúm/Oifig an tSolátair publications.

As more studies continue to link your health to the food you eat, nutrition has become a vital issue for every person. While it may be confusing at first with all the different experts telling what to eat and what not to eat, nutrition does not have to be as complicated as you think. Follow the tips and advice in this article and you will be on your way to a healthier lifestyle.
Whether or not you are vegetarian or a meat eater, protein is a very important part of your diet. You should eat protein at every single meal to keep your blood insulin or blood sugar levels balanced. Eating too many carbohydrates and not enough protein, can give you an energy high, now and an energy crash, later.
Normally, concentrated nutritional supplements should not take the place of normal meals, though they are often touted for weight loss. However, there may be instances where it makes sense for people to try them. In certain cases, especially those in which someone is sick or older, and their appetite cannot be counted on to make sure their nutritional needs are met, nutritional drinks can be a way to make sure that the person's nutritional needs are met until their appetite returns to its normal level and they can eat "real" food again.
Carbs are not the enemy. Your body needs carbs to survive and by cutting them out, you can cause your organs damage or even cause them to fail. That said, there are good and bad carbohydrates. The good ones tend to be complex carbs like whole-grain and other fiber-rich foods.
People over 50 need to maintain good nutrition by ensuring they get enough vitamin D and calcium. This is because, as people age, their bones become more brittle. Calcium will help reduce bone loss, and vitamin D helps the bones absorb the calcium. People aged 50 and over should boost their calcium intake either via non-fat dairy products or through supplements.
Sometimes it is better to add things to your diet rather than remove them. If you absolutely do not have the willpower to replace all those unhealthy snack foods you eat with fruits and vegetables, eat the fruits and vegetables anyway. Slowly begin to phase the snack foods out when you feel you can.
In the grocery store, shop the outer areas and try to avoid the inner aisles. The outer walls of the grocery store is where the good stuff is. Fruits and veggies, fresh meat, fish, bread and dairy are all usually located on the outer aisles and areas. Get More are usually full of preprocessed foods that can tempt you off course like cookies, chips, pastas, and others. Stay away from them to keep your shopping in line.
Though refined carbohydrates such as white bread and white/table sugar may taste good, they are far less nutritious than unrefined carbohydrates such as whole wheat bread and brown/raw sugar. You should avoid refined carbohydrates whenever possible, or at the very least balance your diet between refined and unrefined carbohydrates. Unrefined carbohydrates make your body consume energy to process them, keeping your metabolism up and allowing a sustained level of energy rather than a drastic spike up and then down as is the case with refined carbohydrates.
Eliminating sodas and soft drinks from your daily routine is one of the most important steps to eating a healthier diet. Most sodas are packed full of calories and contribute absolutely no nutritional value. When collagen benefits benefits , have a glass of water instead, or at least substitute real fruit juice for soda.
A great nutritional tip is to never force your child to eat when they're not hungry. When you force your child to eat when they're not hungry, they can develop an unhealthy relationship with food. They might start exhibiting anxiety around the time when they are supposed to eat.
A great nutrition tip is to opt for white meat when you're eating chicken or turkey. Although dark meat may taste good, it is much higher in fat. White meat is leaner and much healthier for you. Stay away from the thighs as well and stick with the breast.
We eat too many starches in our culture. Often, we do not believe a meal is complete without potatoes or some other bread product on the table. Dropping potatoes and having vegetables instead could mean you are eating a lot less calories than you were.
collagen peptides crossword can be the answer to managing some bothersome digestive health problems. Fiber is essential for digestive health and can be added to the diet to relieve constipation. Careful preparation of beans can avoid the gas commonly associated with this high fiber ingredient. For diarrhea, try small amounts of nuts or nut butters.
Unless you are diabetic, avoid eating two to three hours before you go to bed. Do something to take your mind off food like putting away leftovers, washing the dishes, or cleaning your teeth. Finish your evening with a nice cup of herbal tea. This will help you to relax and get to sleep.
Do not be swayed by aggressive advertising touting the extreme health benefits of a pricey foodstuff. It is true that you will probably spend a little more money on food when you decide to pay attention to nutrition and start eating healthy. It is absolutely not true, though, that you need to pay through the nose for exorbitantly-priced "super-foods."
Flax seeds contain a multitude of health benefits, which can improve the way that you feel and look during the course of the day. Their main benefit is for skin care, as they will help to restore oil that dry skin takes away. Eat flax seeds ground or through oil for healthy skin.
Cottage cheese is another type of food that you should add to your regimen for clear, healthy skin all over your body. This food is very rich in selenium, which can help to restore the nutrients for skin reproduction and turnover. Add cottage cheese to your plate and reap the benefits of healthy skin.

Consume whole wheat. Whole wheat products are much better for you than products made with enriched flour. Whole wheat offers more fiber and fiber helps to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes and many other diseases. Exchange white flour products for whole wheat products for a healthier diet.
If you have a craving for a salty or sugary snack, try eating unsalted nuts. Almonds, peanuts, and walnuts are low in calories and high in protein and vitamins. People who eat nuts are less likely to have heart disease and are more likely to live longer. They are also relatively inexpensive.
Make your own bread. Counter top bread machines are heavily available and easy to find. There is nothing that smells quite as good as fresh baked bread. Nothing tastes quite as good either. You can control the ingredients that go in and make sure that they aren't filled with preservatives. Homemade bread doesn't last as long though, so if you can't eat it in a couple of days, put it in the freezer to keep longer.
Like many areas of life, eating healthy involves learning about the subject. Understanding proper eating makes attaining a healthy lifestyle simpler than you may have imagined. Use these tips in your life, and you will be healthier than ever.

Canva designs a big future
If a startup business achieves ‘unicorn’ status when it reaches a valuation of $1 billion, the folks at digital design disruptors Canva need to build a stable… The rising Aussie tech company’s valuation has reached $54.6 billion (US$40 billion) – up from $20 billion in April. If it was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, it would be a top 10 company ahead of long time corporate giants like Woolworths and Rio Tinto. And it makes the 8yo business with founders aged in their 30s the most valuable private consumer software company ever.
WHO/WHAT IS CANVA?
Let’s start with the who. Melanie Perkins and her then-boyfriend/now-husband Cliff Obrecht started Fusion Books in 2006 as a textbook design business from her mum’s living room. And after a lot of hustle, Canva was launched in 2012 with Google employee Cameron Adams bringing the technical expertise to deliver on their “massive vision”. Based in Sydney, Canva now employs more than 2,000 people – most of whom came onboard last year. As for the what: it’s “an online design and publishing tool with a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere.” And it’s working… The company has more than 60 million monthly active users, and it’s on track to exceed $1.3 billion in annual revenue by the end of the year. A rarity in the tech startup world – Canva has been cash-flow positive since 2017.
SO WHAT’S NEXT?
Lots of head down, bum up. Perkins yesterday told reporters that they are “only 1% of the way there.” To fund that sort of growth, it’s long been speculated that Canva will go public, probably on the New York Stock Exchange. However, the business has built up a significant war chest thanks to recent capital raising rounds, so the team says listing not a priority. The soaring value has made the trio billionaires, but it’s unlikely a fancy yacht is in their futures… Perkins and Obrecht have made the commitment to give their $16.5 billion fortune away. “The opportunity that we have is only superseded by the responsibility we feel. We hope we can live up to it over the years to come,” Perkins tweeted yesterday.

At Solution Based Treatment, we understand that substance abuse disorders affect men and women differently. We offer men’s and women’s gender-specific treatment programs that are tailored to the emotional and medical needs of each gender. These programs remove the distractions that can arise by being around the opposite sex and help clients feel more comfortable talking about sensitive issues. Men’s and women’s programs can help individuals build lasting relationships with their peers in a safe and judgment-free environment.
How Addiction Affects Genders Differently
There are fundamental biological and cultural differences between men and women in terms of substance abuse. Gender differences exist in rates of dependence, choice of substance, and how the brain responds to substance use. Studies also show that women and men have different reasons for substance use in the first place and differing circumstances that cause them to relapse. Gender-specific treatment programs are sensitive to all of these issues and address the unique needs of each of the sexes in a comfortable and supportive environment.
What Are the Benefits of Gender-Specific Treatment?
Gender-specific Treatment Is Specialized
Research has shown that most men are admitted to a drug or alcohol treatment center for heavy binge drinking and marijuana use. Women have a higher rate of abusing prescriptions, such as painkillers. Plus, men may require residential treatment or a 90-day program, where fewer women require this level of treatment.
There Are Fewer distractions in Your Drug Treatment Program
Being around a member of the opposite sex in rehab can prove to be a distraction, as it creates mental, emotional, or physical sexual tension. Clients may become attracted to each other or afraid to open up around each other. Clients do better when the potential for this type of distraction is removed.
Peer Support Abounds
A key component to success in rehab is peer support and interaction. Having shared life experiences with others that a person can relate to encourages everyone in the room to participate in therapy. Women face certain challenges that only women can relate to. The same is true for men.
Treatment Is more Effective When People Are More Comfortable
If clients do not feel comfortable being in a room with the opposite gender, they are less likely to participate or engage with others. As a result, they do not benefit from the group therapy sessions. However, a person who does feel a connection with those around is more likely to participate in the sessions and get more out of them.
More Time Spent Discussing Gender-Specific Issues
Both men and women have gender-specific issues that brought them into addiction. These are issues that are best discussed and shared among those of the same gender. After all, only women can truly understand the issues that women go through. On the same level, men have a given set of issues that they battle with that women cannot understand.
Contact SBT to Learn More About Gender-Specific Rehab
Substance abuse affects every individual differently. By tailoring to the needs of each gender, gender-specific treatment programs provide men and women with the right tools and treatment methods to overcome substance abuse. If you think that you could benefit from a gender-specific treatment program, contact our dedicated treatment team today for more information.
We offer a variety of addiction treatment programs, including:
- Drug and alcohol detox
- Dual diagnosis treatment
- Sober living program
- Partial hospitalization program (PHP)
- Rock to Recovery (also known as music therapy)
Contact Solution Based Treatment at 833.999.1941 to learn more about your gender-specific treatment options and to learn more about how we can help you get you on a life-long path to recovery.

Full details of this are on the Gluten Free Message Board http://members2.boardhost.com/glutenfree/index-1.html
There is also an online petition
This is very serious as national research shows that the availability of prescription goods is critical in encouraging Coeliac’s to stick to a gluten free diet – the only treatment available for the disease
I emailed Ann Sutton the CEO of the NHS Eastern and Coastal Kent PCT to share my concerns. I’ve copied the text below –
Dear Ms Sutton,
I understand that you are chairing a meeting to consider the reduction in range of prescription based gluten free foods used for the long term management of Coeliac Disease by PCT’s based in Sussex, Surrey and Kent.
My son Niall is 8 years old and has been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease for about 5 years. In that time the range of products available in supermarkets has improved but the quality of those products does not match the fresh gluten free bread and pasta that is available by prescription. As Niall is obviously at school the availability of a reasonable quality gluten free bread for his packed lunch is vital. (Eating school meals is too high risk a strategy so this is our only option.) WE already spend a significant amount of family income on very expensive gluten free products from supermarkets. This decision makes it worse.
Clinical advice shows that strict adherence to a gluten free diet is the only way to treat Coeliac disease. Research shows that the availability of reasonable quality prescription food means that more Coeliac’s maintain a gluten free diet, thus reducing the risks of other medical conditions that can arise from untreated Coeliac disease.
If you have any doubts, I would suggest obtaining some long life gluten free bread and trying to eat it. It is more like cardboard than bread.
To summarise my key points are
• The types of food that are included in the list are designed to be as unattractive as a cost saving rather than palliative measure.
• Shop sold bread is not as good and commonly costs at least £.2.50 for a small (400g) loaf.
• Lack of prescription products will encourage people to cease a gluten free diet.
• This policy hits poorer families disproportionately (I would like to see a diversity impact assessment and that that takes vulnerable peoples needs into account)
I hope that you can feedback the results of the meeting. In any event I would be grateful if you can advise me of the best contact to obtain reports, DIA’s and minutes of the original decision to reduce the list of products available, as I would like to make a request to see them under the Freedom of Information Act.
I appreciate that these are difficult times but I feel that the list of products has been curtailed without regard to patients’ needs. For what it is worth, I support the approach of not prescribing biscuits etc.
I’m sure the Committee will have seen it but I have attached a PDF published by Coeliac UK that sets out clearly the need for good quality prescription based gluten free food.
Extract from Coeliac UK
Health risks linked to gluten ingestion include poor growth in childhood, osteopenia,
osteoporosis, infertility, the development of other autoimmune disorders, and malignancy,
particularly lymphoma. Coeliac disease is unique in that a specific, effective treatment is
available in the form of lifelong exclusion of gluten from the diet. Those who adhere strictly
to a gluten-free diet can lead full, healthy lives and are protected from the development of
the health risks associated with the untreated condition. It is crucial therefore, that people
with coeliac disease can obtain gluten-free foods to satisfy their needs.
People with coeliac disease have varying requirements for gluten-free foods depending on
their age, gender, occupation and lifestyle. A wide range of specially formulated gluten-free
products is available on prescription and easy access to these is vital to promote strict
A recent survey of 1,000 adults with coeliac disease undertaken by Nutricia Dietary Care
and SHS International found that the availability of gluten-free foods on prescription aids
dietary compliance. Of those respondents who received gluten-free foods on prescription,
37% reported that they adhered strictly to the diet, 33% rarely lapsed and 19% lapsed only
occasionally. Importantly, 37% said that the availability of foods on prescription would aid
compliance. Clearly, a variety and easy access to a range of gluten-free foods on
prescription are important aids to compliance.
