Nimal C Namboodiripad presents information on writing and publishing fiction. Some key points on writing include researching topics and converting obscure languages to English. Famous authors had different writing styles, such as Alexander Dumas plotting with partners or Frederick Faust writing as an insomniac. Publishing options include working with literary agents who represent writers to publishers. Publishers range from large classical publishers to smaller independent presses or self-publishing platforms. The process of publishing involves submitting a synopsis and chapters, waiting for acceptance, and following up on distribution, marketing and payments after publication.

Design ideas for salon and front door props
The document discusses prop ideas for a play set in a hair salon, including hairdressing equipment like brushes and scissors to make the salon setting realistic, pink shelving to display props where the audience can see them, and a beaded curtain for the character Claudia Abuela's door to hint at her role as a wise matriarch. Research was done on Google to find images as a basis for the final props used in the show.
A Word A Day - Idiosyncrasy
An idiosyncrasy is a peculiar way of thinking or behaving that distinguishes an individual. It refers to an unusual habit or quirk of a single person. The word originates from the Greek meaning "peculiar to oneself." Examples of using idiosyncrasy include describing one's preference to always enter a car first as one of their little idiosyncrasies. Synonyms include eccentricity, mannerism, and peculiarity, while antonyms include normality and usualness.
The Creative and Media industry
The document discusses four artifacts and their potential uses across the creative and media industries. A clay pot could be displayed in an art gallery or used as a prop in a performance. A costume could be part of a play or displayed in a gallery. A painting-set design could serve as a stage background. Buildings could be featured in an art gallery or incorporated into a performance.
Cumulating project
This document discusses yard art sculptures made of car parts by an artist on Hershey Road. It includes close-up photos of the sculptures, questions for the artist, and his answers describing how the pieces were constructed from salvaged materials and have stood for years. Other examples of car part art are shared, and ideas are provided for student art making activities, math lessons, and creative writing inspired by the sculptures.
Codin gppt onlinems12session8
This document provides guidance on coding qualitative interview data. It discusses the process of transcribing interviews, noticing anticipated codes based on topics of interest, and other trends that emerge from the data. Sample coding categories are presented from interviews with ceramic artists, including codes around ceramics as a hobby/serious endeavor, assertions of neutrality around gender as an artist, depictions of gender in ceramic works, and communities of female artists. Visualizing codes as a word cloud is also suggested to communicate patterns of speech and silence around the topic.
Chinese Calligraphy Abc Book
The document is an alphabetically organized list that provides information about Chinese calligraphy and culture. Each letter introduces a new word starting with that letter, along with a brief definition or fact. Some of the terms discussed include calligraphy styles like Kai Shu and Xing Shu, tools used in calligraphy like ink and brushes, cultural symbols like pandas and horses, and materials like jade and pearl powder that are used to make calligraphy ink.
Chinese Calligraphy
Chinese calligraphy uses four traditional tools: brushes, ink sticks, ink stones, and paper. Brushes are made from animal hair and come in hard, soft, or mixed tips. Ink sticks are made from pine, oil, and lacquer and are used to make ink by grinding on an ink stone. Paper was invented in China and various papermaking techniques were developed. Proper technique involves correct posture, knowledge of tools, control of the brush, rhythmic flow of strokes, and balanced lines. Stroke sequence follows rules such as starting at the top and moving downward, starting on the left and moving right, and completing inner parts before outer.
Chinese calligraphy
Chinese calligraphy has a history of over 2,000 years, being considered one of the supreme arts in China since the 3rd century CE. It involves basic stroke order rules and was performed using four treasures: inkstone, ink, paper, and brushes. Calligraphy was an important part of Chinese culture and helped develop their writing system over millennia.

Str8ts Weekly Extreme #50 - Solution
This document provides the solution to the Weekly Extreme Str8ts Puzzle #50 by SlowThinker. It summarizes the key steps taken, which included using Setti's rule to eliminate candidates, cross-compartment analysis to remove digits, and an X-wing technique. Cross-compartment checks and strategies that analyze multiple compartments at once are particularly useful for puzzles with three compartments in a row or column.
Managing your Online Reputation
This document discusses managing your online reputation and the Streisand Effect. It provides tips on listening to online conversations about your brand, monitoring situations, addressing negative comments by fixing underlying issues, and emphasizing an overall positive corporate image. Examples are given of how the Streisand Effect backfired for Barbra Streisand when she sued over a photo of her home, which increased its online visibility from 6 to 420,000 views.

Social media- Military Voters and Social Media
The document provides guidelines from the Department of Defense for military personnel's participation in political activities, including on social media.

FW Taylor
Frederick Winslow Taylor was an American mechanical engineer who sought to improve industrial efficiency. He is considered the father of scientific management. Taylor broke jobs down into their smallest components and designed the most efficient methods for completing each task. He introduced concepts like time studies, differential pay, and close supervision of workers. His ideas influenced many other management thinkers and were widely adopted by industries in the early 20th century. However, some critics argue that his methods overly focused on efficiency at the cost of worker satisfaction and empowerment.
Henry Fayol
Henri Fayol was a French mining engineer and director who is considered one of the founders of modern management. He systematically analyzed managerial behaviors and functions. Based on his management experience, he developed concepts around the five primary functions of management (planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, controlling) and fourteen principles of management. His work was one of the first comprehensive statements of a general management theory. Fayol made important contributions to management practices during his career leading a large mining company in France.

Some Thoughts
The document discusses how many long-held social values are changing in modern times. It provides several examples: humility is no longer valued as highly as self-promotion; higher education does not necessarily increase social consciousness or care for others; helping others goes against natural instincts of survival; and having more information can reduce original thinking. It also questions assumptions about marriage, love, and criminal justice. Overall, the document suggests that society should reexamine traditional values in light of current changes.
