Is planning permission required for a glass veranda?
Most properties in the UK will have permitted development rights so planning permission is not required for a glass veranda. However, we would recommend contacting your local planning department to check the rules for your area. If planning is required, we are more than happy to assist you with the application.
Enjoying your garden does not have to finish at the end of the British summer (as short as it is). By choosing a glass veranda, it will provide you with shelter from the elements. The lighting and heating options will create a cosy and atmospheric space to enjoy all year round.
For years we had dreamt of having a veranda in our garden so that we could dine and entertain outside, even in poor weather. The other companies that we approached either did not have the technology to give us what we wanted, or, even if they could, did not fully understand our vision. Martyn and the Outdoor Living Group did.
One of the central design points was to create a way to invert the roof and make it pitch towards the bungalow, rather than away from it. This allowed the veranda to be made bigger, with a generous five metre projection out from the bungalow. This size gave the Carringtons the space and room they desired. It was a fusion of their vision and our expertise.
6.5m x 3.5m bespoke veranda including a roof overhang and dimmable heaters.
We have been using our veranda for over 5 months now and it has been wonderful. Adding lights and heaters even meant that we could entertain there over Christmas.

this is a serious question, not a gripe.
they're a bit pointless aren't they?
oooh, nice use of almagemation...i don't know the spelling either. haha.
ah thanks for the clarification !
spellings started to become standardised in print. Before that people just spelled things they way they sounded. Sound changes (changes in the way folks pronounce words) occurred over the decades and centuries following the standardisation of spelling and the spellings as a result fell behind the new pronunciations, as they were now 'set in stone' in the new dictionaries and that. Plus, some renaissance types thought it'd be really clever to change spellings so that they looked more like the 'learned' Latin spellings. Like dette became debt. Latiny.
I have a linguistics exam on Tuesday, that's the only reason I know this stuff.


Since 1997, owners of selected General Motors vehicles have had the option of subscribing to OnStar, a cellular service that lets drivers make hands-free phone calls, hear turn-by-turn navigational cues, receive remote diagnostic reports, and get emergency support in accidents. In the car business, 13 years is a long time—but in the world of mobile communications and software, it's eons. So GM's perennial challenge with OnStar is to keep up with the ways consumers are accessing data on other mobile platforms, especially their smartphones.
Today the company announced that it's upgrading both the hardware that goes into OnStar-equipped cars and the telematics infrastructure that connects this hardware to the Internet and other resources. The aim is to enable drivers behind the wheel to engage in mobile-computing activities like sending receiving text messages and Facebook newsfeed updates, but without endangering themselves or other drivers.
The news was part of a general branding and marketing push—unveiled at simultaneous media events Tuesday night in Austin, Miami, New York, and San Francisco—that showcases OnStar's new capabilities as an "infotainment" platform. The message of this "LiveOn" campaign, to be conveyed through TV commercials and print and online ads, is that OnStar has evolved into much more than the navigation and emergency-response system familiar to many consumers.
But the company is proceeding with caution, padding its message about mobile interactivity with an emphasis on what it calls "responsible connectivity." "Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, mind on the drive" was the mantra used by Timothy Nixon, GM's executive director for infotainment and OnStar engineering, at the San Francisco launch event. "But if I can keep my hands on the wheel while listening to a Facebook newsfeed and reply to it, why not?" he added in remarks to Xconomy.
It's this new system that's allowing the company to experiment with voice texting—a feature that would connect drivers' smartphones to an in-dash system via Bluetooth, read text messages aloud using speech synthesis technology, and allow users to verbally select preset responses (but not compose new responses, which might conflict with proliferating no-texting-while-driving laws).
ATOMS is also behind a new Facebook audio update system that the company demonstrated at the launch event. It lets users listen to the most recent updates in their Facebook news feeds, and record audio updates that are then automatically posted to their feeds. But the company isn't saying when this feature might be available—Nixon said it's something engineers just started experimenting with in the last few weeks.

Tough Decisions: Family Business Dividends in Turbulent Times
Andrew Hier
Senior Advisor and Partner, Cambridge Advisors to Family Enterprise
Cash is King, but Value Creation is a Family's Long-term Goal – Even During a Crisis
Compounding Your Family's Wealth: Building a Multigenerational Family Enterprise Wealth Portfolio
How can family businesses make the tough decision of whether to reduce or suspend dividends to their family owners during an economic crisis? "Be prepared to be flexible" is the answer.
COVID-19 is our latest example, admittedly on an unprecedented scale, of the harsh reality that bad things can and will happen. Economic recessions occur with some cyclicality, and disruptions of many sorts – environmental, technological and socio-political as well as economic – can upend companies and entire industries. The future is here, and it is turbulent.
During times of economic crisis, the pressure to reduce or suspend dividends to family business owners can become intense. While many family members are highly, if not solely, dependent on dividends for their income, the reallocation of dividend payments may be necessary for the short-term solvency or the long-term survival of the family business. Tough decisions are required.
Business Reinvestment or Owner Dividends?
Even in the best of times, the owners of a family business must make strategic decisions about the allocation of net profits from their company for two purposes: business sustainability and family sustainability.
On the business side, profits can be directed to important uses that bolster the company's operational strength and position it for future growth. Building a reserve cushion of cash, improving technology and production efficiencies, and investing in new opportunities and acquisitions are among the possibilities. On the family side, profits not kept inside the business become dividends.
It is important to define a dividend: the payment of some cash profit to shareholders of a corporation, whether publicly traded or privately held. (Of note, cash payments may be called distributions rather than dividends when they come from some other legal form of ownership, such as a limited liability company or interest in a partnership.)
Family business dividends often are seen as a vehicle for funding the lifestyles of the owners, whether for essentials like housing or discretionary expenditures on enjoyable things. What is less visible, and often overlooked, is that dividends also support a broad array of activities that help a business-owning family remain united and stable as a long-term ownership group over generations. They include:
Joint family investments outside of the company (e.g., more liquid assets or new ventures)
Governance activities (e.g., a Family Council, Owners Council)
Education and development of the next generation (e.g., preparing them to be capable owners and board members)
A collective family fund to purchase shares from family members who want to, or need to, be bought out
Family philanthropy and other social impact activities
Family assets that help to unite the family (e.g., a family home for shared gatherings)
Dividend Considerations in an Economic Downturn
During an economic crisis, when a family company's profitability may be in question, what to do with the company's dividends is an extremely delicate concern. Should the company reduce the percentage of profit paid out as dividends? More restrictively, should the company delay dividend payments, or even suspend them entirely, to preserve liquidity for solvency and operational necessities? The two competing claims on profits – business or family – can become particularly charged.
The company may be suffering from serious revenue and cash flow problems. In the case of COVID-19, for example, real estate firms had tenants who could not afford to pay rent, manufacturers oversaw silent factories, and banks had to contend with a growing list of clients defaulting on their loans. As corporate budgets get squeezed, dividends can be perceived as a luxury. Any available profits and cash reserves, arguably, should be used to sustain essential business infrastructure.
Even if a company is managing through the economic downturn relatively unscathed, savvy owners recognize that the future is uncertain. The board and owners may consider it prudent to build financial reserves in case the downturn lasts longer than expected. They may reallocate funds previously earmarked for a dividend payment to shore up cash for more turbulent times ahead.
Meanwhile, the family owners likely will continue to need dividends for their personal lives. Family members who rely on dividends for their lifestyle could have difficulty finding other sources of income quickly should dividends be cut and may not be able to abruptly reduce their personal expenses. Even family members who do not usually rely on dividends heavily (i.e., who have other sources of income) may urgently require dividend income to supplement dwindling primary income sources. After all, jobs disappear, client lists shrink, investments drop in value, and so on. Dividend payments may shift from a secondary source of income to something on which more family members greatly rely.
How have family businesses reconciled these two competing responsibilities and handled dividends during our most recent crisis?
Dividends and COVID-19
Companies had two basic choices, each with variations, as they considered their response to the economic crisis caused by COVID-19: (1) continue to issue dividends and, if so, at what level or (2) suspend dividends and, if so, for how long.
We examined the dividend performance of fifteen publicly listed, family companies over the March 2020 through May 2021 period, and found a range of approaches. The variations depended on each company's situation and included some "real-time" adjustments as time passed and conditions changed.
Dividend Suspension
Nine of the fifteen family companies that we examined entirely suspended the payment of dividends early in 2020.
Fourteen months later, seven companies still had not reinstated dividend payments. They were AMC Entertainment, Carnival, Ford, Marriott, Molson Coors, Nordstrom and Las Vegas Sands. Common to these companies is that they represent some of the industries hardest hit by COVID-19. Molson Coors explained the reasons for the cessation of dividends as follows: Preservation of capital during the pandemic, and protection and bolstering of its liquidity position due to the global economic uncertainty.
The two other family companies that suspended payments then made some adjustments. The Gap suspended payments in January 2020 and then declared them postponed in March, to be reinstated at the same level in 2021. They followed through on that promise during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 but then halved dividends for the second quarter. Estée Lauder suspended payments in June 2020 but reinstated them in September and, in December, increased dividends by 10.4%.
Several different factors have likely influenced our surveyed companies' dividend strategies, including:
varying levels of economic distress, depending on their industry or region
their sensitivity to the fact that unsatisfied investors could simply take their capital elsewhere
in some countries, the fact that some government COVID-19 support measures for businesses prohibited the payment of shareholder dividends.
Dividend Continuation
Five family companies continued to pay dividends during COVID-19 but at varying levels.
BMW and Schlumberger decided to continue their dividend payments but reduced them by 24% and 75% respectively. (For Schlumberger, the dividend cut amounted to $519 million in cash savings per quarter.) Solvay more than halved its 2019 dividend rate in January 2020 and since then has alternated that payment level with a 50% higher one. Solvay also advised its family owners to donate some of the payout to those in need, which many of the company's 1000+ shareholders have done.
Three companies not only maintained but increased their dividend payments during COVID-19. These companies are Hormel (+5.4%), Comcast (+9.5%), and Dick's Sporting Goods (+16%).
From the shareholders' perspective, the continuation of dividends at an increased or even unchanged level during a crisis is ostensibly favorable. However, the impact of an unchanged or increased dividend is murky, because dividend payments traditionally are made as a percentage of profits. If the company experienced business declines, owners' dividends still could suffer. One Belgian family business continued to follow its dividend policy in the range of 25-33% of net profits but was completely transparent with family members that the actual amount of money distributed would be reduced. This type of clear communication with the owners is recommended to set expectations, avoid surprising them, and help them plan ahead.
There is No Single Formula, but Being Prepared Helps
There is no single right answer in an economic crisis, it seems. But arguably, preparedness or lack thereof, also has been a main—and controllable—factor for companies trying to survive during COVID-19's long and bumpy ride.
Many companies have faced financial hardship during the COVID-19 recession in part (or entirely) because they used too much of their available cash to reward shareholders and buy back shares to boost their stock price in recent years. As The New York Times reported in late April 2020, in the three years through 2019, "companies in the S&P 500 stock index spent $2 trillion on buybacks, 30 percent more than what they spent over the previous three years."[1] These same companies had a much smaller cash buffer available during COVID-19 and found themselves reaching out for government support.
On a brighter note, consider the case of a Canadian family involved in real estate development and hospitality during the credit crisis and economic downturn of 2008. Bank financing, which most real estate developers rely on heavily to finance projects, effectively evaporated. The Canadian firm, however, had been expecting a downturn, and had set aside cash reserves for many years instead of distributing larger dividends to the family owners. Rather than needing to borrow, like many of their competitors, the company had enough cash on hand to meet its obligations and even to make further acquisitions at favorable prices during the lower points of the economic downturn.
Some Lessons Learned
During an economic crisis, each family business must make this decision uniquely and often more than once, based on the multitude of factors at play in their system and how they evolve over time. But there are some actions that family companies can proactively take to be ready for the tough decisions about dividends.
Engage in Meaningful Dialogue with the Owners, Board, and Management
Determining the right approach for a specific family business in times of crisis requires a detailed and transparent dialogue between the owners and the board of directors. The board is the mediator between the perspective of the owners and the needs of the business.
The board must understand the needs of the owners, their options, and the potential repercussions if dividends were to be eliminated or greatly reduced. In turn, the owners need to understand the company's requirements for cash and the downstream operating effects of different decisions around dividend payments.
The conversation should address some fundamental questions, including:
What does the company need in order to endure, given that its survival is the basis of the family's future dividend income and wealth?
Can other sources of capital—beyond the cash to be used for dividends—suffice at this time for business continuity?
Are there other sources of cash for family owners—loans on their other assets or from other family members, or perhaps the sale of some personal property—that could support them through this period?
What are the economic consequences to the family owners if dividends and distributions are reduced, postponed, or eliminated?
Plan Ahead for the Next Downturn
Waiting for a crisis (or a second or a third one) is not necessary or desirable, and places both the business and family members at risk. Longer-term planning grounded in some guiding principles for each side of the "competing claims" equation is important.
These principles may include:
Encouraging less dependence on dividends among family members. Individual lifestyles may need to be adjusted to match a level of dividends that the company can afford not just in good times, but in bad times as well.
On the business side, cash or cash equivalents must be preserved to provide a minimal level of dividend payments, help the company weather downturns, make acquisitions when prices are depressed, or buyout owners who need liquidity.
Bring Flexibility to Your Dividend Policy
Family business owners, who often think of their dividend policies as static and leave them unchanged for years, need to consider a dividend policy with the flexibility to address changing business and family needs. To manage family members' expectations and to avoid surprising the owners, the board can advise the owners that a more flexible dividend policy may need to be instated, which means a possible reduction or suspension of dividends during tough times.
The short answer to the dividend question, therefore, is "be prepared to be flexible." Family business owners need to internalize the inevitability of downturns and disruptions and ensure that their policies and practices provide the flexibility needed both to address challenges and to seize opportunities. During an economic crisis, these tough decisions need to be made collaboratively, with the twin goals of an enduring enterprise and family success.

Served by a very leaky sluice which freezes in winter it produces a magnificent ice cave during the cold months. Joel Simpson, an Atlas Obscura reader, was there in December 2010 and captured some of the images displayed above. It's colder there than in the surrounding area, so it freezes sooner and lasts longer.
Be very careful about going inside the ice cave that develops in the winter since it's extremely slippery. If you do go, wear waterproof boots and stay in the flowing water, rather than on the ice, and you'll stay standing. Do as little damage as possible to the ice formations.
Cooper's Mill, though, is an attraction all year long. Known as the site of many state-of-the-art innovations of its time; it always kept current on the latest designs. Many were dreamed up and implemented by inventor Oliver Evans, whose ideas revolutionized the milling process by automating it.
Powered by the natural flow of water, the mill both a huge man-made achievement and environmentally friendly. The 16-foot water wheel at the mill weighs about 13,000 pounds, but it only takes about two cups of water in less than half of the 48 buckets on the wheel to keep it spinning at four RPM. The wheel is most efficient at eight RPM, where it can create up to 45 horsepower.

Q: find files in all subfolders and use them as input I have a bunch of subfolders and each contains an input file an_* and an executable run. The command line for one execution in one subfolder is ./run <an_*.
What I want to do is find all subfolders which contain an an_* file and execute run with an_* as input. My best bet was:
find -name an_* -execdir ./run <'{}' \; but that doesn't work.

A: If you just drop the input redirection <  on the find command line, the shell will try to redirect the input given to find. What you want is for the redirection to happen on the command executed by find. But find doesn't know how to do the redirection, so you have to ask it explicitly to run a shell to parse the command you give. Something like this:
find -name "an_*" -execdir sh -c "./run < {}" \;

New Delhi, March 16 (IANS) The seven Lok Sabha candidates of the BJP in Delhi have their eyes set on their opponents from the AAP while the Congress is not being considered a serious threat, party sources said.
The Bharatiya Janata Party's fourth list, which was released Saturday, included seven candidates for Delhi where polling will be held April 10.
The candidates are Delhi chief Harsh Vardhan from Chandni Chowk; spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi from New Delhi; Pravesh Verma, son of former chief minister Saheb Singh Verma, from West Delhi; Dalit leader Udit Raj from North West Delhi (reserved); Bhojpuri movie star Manoj Tiwari from North East Delhi; Ramesh Bidhuri from South Delhi; and Mahesh Giri from East Delhi.
On Sunday, six of the seven candidates interacted with the media at Delhi BJP's headquarters. Four of them lashed out at the Aam Aadmi Party and its chief Arvind Kejriwal while giving their introduction.
They accused Kejriwal of "betraying" the people of Delhi and criticised the policies announced during the 49-day AAP rule in the capital.
They also called Kejriwal an "anarchist" who failed to benefit the masses and ran away from his responsibilities.
However, the BJP candidates officially refused to acknowledge the AAP as a competitor.
"The media has created hype around the AAP as well as the Congress. They both stand no chance in these elections and it is going to be a BJP show," Harsh Vardhan told IANS.
The view was echoed by all the other five candidates.
However, party sources tell a different tale.
They say each BJP candidate has been advised to study the working style of their opponents from the AAP, which stunned many after winning 28 of the 70 seats in the Delhi assembly elections in December 2013.
"They have been told to focus on AAP candidates who are the main threat. As far as the Congress is concerned, only a couple of their candidates are being looked at seriously," said a party official.
It was because of the AAP that the BJP took so long to declare its Delhi candidates, the official said.
The AAP's candidates are former journalists Ashutosh from Chandni Chowk and Jarnail Singh, who hurled a shoe at then home minister P. Chidambaram, from West Delhi, Mahatma Gandhi's grandson Rajmohan Gandhi from East Delhi, Colonel (retd) Devendra Sehrawat from South Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University professor Anand Kumar from North East Delhi, journalist Ashish Khetan from New Delhi and social activist Mahender Singh from North West Delhi.

Wallsend Boys Club
Sting is putting something back into his hometown community with Wallsend Boys Club
North East music legend Sting has put his hand in his own pocket to help fund Wallsend Boys Club
Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from ChronicleLive - daily
He lived in Station Road, which in those times also housed Wallsend Boys Club.
Born the son of a Wallsend milkman and hairdresser, he was a bright kid with a natural love of sport.
Gordon Sumner used to board the 8.42am train to Central Station and catch a bus up the West Road to St Cuthbert's Grammar School, where he excelled at athletics and rugby.
An outstanding sprinter over 100 and 220 yards and a fair long jumper, Sumner played rugby for the school using his pace on the wing.
He went on to become the Northumberland and Durham sprint champion and run in the national championships which stands a lad apart.
However, to live on the banks of the Tyne inevitably meant football and Gordon would pop up the road to the boys club to play on the five-a-side pitches.
He was destined for greatness, for adulation, fame and fortune, but not in sport like other boys club protégés such as Alan Shearer, Peter Beardsley, Steve Bruce, and Michael Carrick. Nicknamed Noddy at school, Sumner became Sting and fronted The Police. Hits flowed, No 1s all both with The Police and later as a solo artist.
Fast forward to present times and the multi-millionaire pop superstar apparently hasn't forgotten about wiling away pleasant hours at the boys club.
So much so that it was announced today Wallsend Boys Club have benefited to the tune of $10,000 donated by Sting through the annual Broadway Cares fundraiser in New York.
The windfall comes as a direct result of Sting writing and performing his musical The Last Ship on Broadway, famously telling the story of life in the Wallsend shipyards which dominated the town when Sting was Noddy.
The Last Ship was principally based on the Swan Hunter shipyard and significantly, what became the boys club began life as a facility for the apprentices of that company.
Wallsend BC have launched a fundraising appeal to build a new youth club facility on their spanking new ground at Bigges Main. Such an ambitious programme will cost a whopping £1m, but it's got off to a flying start with Sting's donation.
"Our old secretary Dave Beardall remembers Sting playing on the five-a-side pitches," said WBC chairman Steve Dale. "He wasn't in any of our teams, but he used the facilities with his mates.
"Since 1965, the club's many varied activities were provided from premises on Station Road, but strong winds blew down one of the walls in 2012 and the building had to be condemned for safety reasons. Since then, the youth activities have been severely curtailed and the club wants to re-instate a new youth club facility at the same site where their representative teams play their football matches.
"We already have £250,000 in reserves from selling the unexpired lease at Station Road back to North Tyneside Council. The appeal to replace the Station Road premises, 50 years after they opened, needs to raise a further £750,000.
"However, I couldn't have imagined a better way to launch our appeal than to have one of Wallsend's most famous sons backing our efforts."
Gordon Sumner, Noddy, Sting: we all salute you, especially Wallsend!

Speculating Canada: Canadian Horror, Science Fiction, and Fantasy
Challenging the barriers of the way we define reality
November 15, 2012 by dereknewmanstille
Interview with Helen Marshall
An Interview with Helen Marshall
Author Photo Courtesy of Helen Marshall
By Derek Newman-Stille
After reading Helen Marshall's new book Hair Side, Flesh Side and seeing her interest in the role of memory and the body, I wanted to inquire further about her writing process and get some insights on the interplay between texts, memory, and the body since this is something that has been of interest to me in my own academic work. This incredible interview grew out of that inquiry and I hope that all of you enjoy Helen Marshall's insights as much as I did. I will let Helen Marshall introduce herself below.
Spec Can: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself to begin this interview?
Helen Marshall: I've worked as an editor for several years for ChiZine Publications, and in addition to that I'm currently finishing off a Ph. D in medieval studies on fourteenth-century manuscripts. This means I spent a great deal of my time traveling and pouring over ancient tomes in libraries across England and the United States, seeing how they were stitched together, comparing and identifying the hands of medieval scribes, measuring punctuation marks…
This might seem like painstaking and ridiculous work to many of you, but I find it genuinely exciting. I love the feeling of reclaiming some piece of the past that was otherwise lost. Even if it is only the barest trace of human presence in an object that seems otherwise opaque and indecipherable.
Spec Can: What role does the macabre have in modern Canadian fiction?
Helen Marshall: When you say "role" it seems to imply that the macabre is accomplishing something specific… if it is, I'm not sure what exactly that might be. I think the macabre in Canadian fiction accomplishes what the macabre accomplishes in all fiction: it gives us a sense of our own mortality, of the body as something that will inevitably die. It reacquaints us with fear, and at the same time it enlivens us. Does Canada have its own unique brand of the macabre? Most definitely. Canadian literature has been traditionally considered to have a strong vein of realism to it, but the macabre, the Weird—the kind of books that ChiZine Publications has championed–are doing something to open that up. That's good. I don't believe in straitjacketing literature.
Spec Can: Where do you see "weird fiction" going from here?
Helen Marshall: Jeff VanderMeer recently wrote a wonderful article on how "weird fiction" is moving past H. P. Lovecraft (available here). That's a good thing: not because Lovecraft doesn't deserve to be studied and reread, but because he himself has become something of a straitjacket. He has created a pattern or a template that is, perhaps, a little too easy to follow right now, and so perhaps it is time for something new.
China Mieville's success (and those who have followed him) ultimately convinced publishers that there was a market for strange, dark fiction. It gave them someone to point to in the same way that Stephen King did for the horror genre many moons ago. But what I find I love about "weird fiction" is the utter delight its authors take in surprising the reader, giving us something we haven't seen before, taking risks in both form and content. It's a great genre precisely because it isn't really a genre: it isn't codified, it doesn't have rules. It means you can have some real fun with it.
Spec Can: What is it like to shift back and forth between author and editor? How do you manage both your life as an academic and as a fiction author? How do they support each other or conflict with each other (or both)?
Helen Marshall: I feel like my work as an editor, an academic, and as an author all feed into one another. The process of writing Hair Side, Flesh Side was the process of trying to explain to myself how that might work. Both the role of the editor and the academic are about finding some piece of truth in another person's writing, and then uncovering it and helping it into the light. A good academic makes writing come alive. A good editor does exactly the same. An author, though – an author has to find a way to shut up all those bits that are outwardly focused, at least for a moment. It's still a process of uncovering. But it's about bringing to light something that you feel deeply, and in the end the thing you are revealing is yourself. That's scarier in many ways, and more exhilarating. But working as an editor and an academic has given me a depth and shape to that process.
Spec Can: As someone who studies the past and someone whose fiction work often involves concepts of memory, what role does the past play in your fiction writing? What is the importance of memory? How do memories haunt people?
Helen Marshall: The past and memory are interlinked for me. To some extent, Hair Side, Flesh Side comes out of the fact that when I was in high school my dad suffered a serious brain injury that played havoc with his memory. Around that time, I was developing an interest in the medieval. Looking back, it's probably no surprise that those two things are related. The study of the past is a way of recovering memories, I think, of rediscovering things that have been forgotten, lives that have been lived. And art, or writing anyway, is really a way of making ourselves live longer and speak louder than we might otherwise.
Canada has always seemed to me to be a place struggling with memory. Both of my parents emigrated to Canada just before I was born, my mom from South Africa and my dad from England via Zimbabwe. I didn't feel a strong connection to Canadian history. I grew up reading books about European history, reading children's literature that was grounded in mythologies that seemed very distant. Stories were things that happened in other places. As a medievalist in Canada, I find I always have to explain why I do what I do. When I go to England, they get it. Because it's a part of their history and it matters to them. I've learned to live with that dissonance.
Spec Can: What role does the body play in horror? Why is the body so important?
Helen Marshall: I suppose, at its most basic level, the body is where horror happens. We desperately want a control over our bodies we don't have. That scares me. That scares me a lot. There's something terribly frightening about the idea that the thing that seems to be most me is something I can't control.
Spec Can: In your short story Sanditon (from Hair Side, Flesh Side), the protagonist
Cover Photo of Hair Side, Flesh Side courtesy of the author
discovers that her skin has become a text and she becomes hollowed out inside. As an editor, do you ever feel like you have been hollowed out by other authors' work? How does this story speak to you?
Helen Marshall: The obvious answer is, yes, absolutely. Sanditon, and a rather large chunk of Hair Side, Flesh Side, came out of a four-month period of study abroad I did in Oxford. It was amazing to spend weeks at a time in the Bodleian with really old books, but it was also fantastically lonely. That loneliness was what gave me the chance to write, but it is a strange feeling to realize that you are devoting your life to the study of authors who have been dead for six hundred years while you yourself are still alive. Sanditon came out of that. It was about me trying to figure out what it meant to be a writer. But it isn't just about the way that the work of dead authors can hollow you out: it's also about the rather crushing and self-destructive relationship between Hanna and Gavin. There are a helluva lot of ways to get hollowed out by another person and they don't all have to do with writing.
Spec Can: Two of the short stories in Hair Side, Flesh Side feature skin as a text. What is the significance of skin for you? What do you feel is the social significance of skin for our society overall? How can the body be a text?
Helen Marshall: Medieval manuscripts were written on the skins of animals that had been stretched on a frame, scraped, and rubbed with pumice and chalk until they were smooth. So when you look at the page of a medieval manuscript, you still see it as a piece of skin: it has a hair side (the part of the skin facing outside the beast) and a flesh side (the part facing the muscle and organs). They have a different texture. You can even see the hair follicles. So here's a time when writing was closely linked to the death of an animal.
And there's a trope in medieval writings in which Jesus Christ is figured as a charter. The fourteenth-century Short Charter of Christ, for example, imagines the body of Christ as a written document with his wounds figures as seals to mark the text's authenticity:
"In this way Christ, when his hands and feet were nailed to the cross, offered his body like a charter to be written on. The nails in his hands were used as a quill, and his precious blood as ink. And thus, with this charter he restored to us our heritage that we had lost." [from Siegfried Wenzel, trans. Fasciculus morum : a fourteenth-century preacher's handbook (University Park : Pennsylvania State University Press, 1989), p. 213.]
I think it's a gorgeously powerful metaphor for writing, but it's also a metaphor grounded in horror, as was made clear to me when I went to a talk by Bruce Holsinger that later inspired "Skin". I love the contradiction: Writing as a means to immortality comes at the cost of genuine sacrifice.
Spec Can: Your work reads like a surreal dream. What is the role of dreaming in your stories and for story formation overall?
Helen Marshall: I attended the Clarion West Writing Workshop over the summer, and Kelly Link said something that really stuck with me: there's daytime logic and there's nighttime logic. Daytime logic is automatically familiar to us. We know its rules. But nighttime logic has a power of its own. It may be associative and subconscious, but it still has a certain truth to it. Surreal or absurdist writing can sometimes come out feeling very cold because we can't see ourselves in it. We know, at a gut level, that it is not our world and so the consequences don't feel real. What I try to do is find a bizarre premise and use it as a way into something that is deeply emotional: every new oddity ought to feel like a natural extension of the rules of the world. It feels like it fits. For me, the process of writing strange fiction is falling into a world where each new revelation comes with a shock—but also with a sense of recognition.
Spec Can: In your short story No ghosts in London, the main character escapes to the city to avoid ghosts. What is the role of the urban environment as a place of escape and forgetting?
Helen Marshall: I spend a lot of my time traveling. When I stay in the same city for more than a couple of months, I start to get edgy. Travel to new cities opens up in my eyes to the world around me again after I've got a little too comfortable. But at the same time the city is a place where it is easy to disappear. Or to reinvent yourself. It seems to give you the promise of a blank slate. But the problem, of course, is that everywhere you go, you carry yourself with you. When you wipe the slate clean, you'll always find a point where bits of your old self start to bleed through again.
Spec Can: Ghosts often feature as figures of memory or reminders of the past in your work. Where did this idea come from? What inspired you to view ghosts as figures haunting us from the past?
Helen Marshall: Ghosts scare the Hell out of me. Really. I tried to watch the Japanese movie Juon a couple of months ago and it terrified me so badly that I burst into tears four minutes from the end and demanded that we shut the movie off. Even though I knew I would feel better if I saw those final four minutes and got some closure to the story, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
For me ghosts are terrifying because they are us. What I see when I look at a ghost is myself. And so if the ghost is really just an image of your own future—that is, you when you are dead, the you that you can't comprehend or imagine—then in some way you are also the ghost of your own future self. We leave things behind, and mostly those things are former versions of ourselves. It seems natural, then, that ghosts are also a figure for something that wants to be remembered, even if we want desperately to forget it.
Spec Can: Several of your stories involve Jane Austen in some way. In what way does Austen speak to you? Inspire you?
Helen Marshall: I think there's something intrinsically funny about Jane Austen. And sweet. And sad.
Spec Can: What can Weird Fiction do for readers that realist fiction is not able to do? How can it inspire or challenge readers?
Helen Marshall: Weird fiction, at its best, unsettles us. Realist fiction can also do that, but that isn't necessarily its goal. I love the idea of a kind of writing designed deliberately to shock, to surprise, to unbalance and unnerve. It has a kind of intensity to it, and it makes us consider ourselves from oblique angles rather than head-on.
Spec Can: What questions do you hope that your work evokes for your readers?
Helen Marshall: All the questions above are a pretty good start!
I hope my readers think about my work. But I also hope they just experience it and see what comes to them. The thing is, it's terribly difficult to predict what's going to resonate with a reader, what's going to work for them, what's going to touch them.
The biggest thing I fear I have to fight against with my academic background is demanding that the reader bring a toolbox with them when they come to my writing. Whatever happens when they read happens. It ought to have a little magic to it. A little spontaneity.
I want to thank Helen for taking the time to do this interview and provide such enlightening and well-thought-out replies.

Wow! Derek you really managed to peel back the skin and get at the meat of her stories, so to speak. Great interview!
Helen, your stories have intrigued me and I find it fascinating that you have examined such ancient manuscripts. I have a soft spot for old books, myself, but have never had the opportunity to read anything as old as you have seen. 🙂
dereknewmanstille says:
Brilliant puns! I am glad that you enjoyed the interview. Helen was a pleasure to talk to and I really enjoyed her insights. I am so jealous of all of the ancient manuscripts that she has been able to read!!

The home office is located in Wethersfield and there are regional service centers located throughout the state. Boat transactions are basically handled in the same manner as vehicles although requirements and exemptions may vary. Outboard motors are not titled or registered in Connecticut. Boat trailers weighing over 3,000 must be registered and titled.
All non-exempt boats with a motor, regardless of size must be registered in Connecticut. Sailboats that are 19 1/2 feet or larger with or without a motor must also be registered. Registration is also required for Coast Guard documented boats. Exemptions include boats registered in another state during a 60 day visitation period. A complete list of exemptions can be found by visiting the DMV website. The DMV also has provisions for registering a boat that has been repossessed and foreclosed upon and has procedures for registering abandoned boats. Ownership transfers and abandonments must be reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles within 15 days.
Boats eligible for titles are those with a model year of 2017 and newer, or vessels that were previously documented either US or Foreign.
Connecticut has adopted the Uniform Certificate of Title for Vessels Act (UCOTVA) which basically sets the same nationwide standards for boat titling as those established for vehicles. Boat registration applicants must accordingly declare whether to their knowledge, a previous title has been salvage or damage branded. This state also participates in the Vessel Identification System (VIS) where boat registration data is shared with other government agencies throughout the country.
There are approximately 86,816 boats registered in the State of Connecticut. This accounts for 0.7% of all nationwide registrations.
Numbering - Marking
Boat registration numbers in Connecticut begin with a "CT" designation which is followed by four numbers and then two letters. These must be displayed on all non-documented boats along with registration sticker tabs. Coast Guard documented vessels may not display the state registration numbers. However they must display the state registration tabs, an owner designated vessel name, and a hailing port. An official documentation number must also be affixed to a visible interior location in the hull itself or an integral part of the hull. All vessels manufactured after 1972 are required to have a 12 digit hull identification number affixed to the vessel by the manufacturer. State assigned hull numbers prefixed with the letters "CTZ" are available for home made boats and those without factory designations. The boat must be inspected by a Connecticut law enforcement official if there is a discrepancy in the hull identification number.
Liens - Security Interests
Security interests in non-documented boats are recorded with the Department of Motor vehicles on boats that are titled. These will be shown on both the registration certificate and title when applicable. All titles with active security interests are sent directly to the secured party. Tax liens are sometimes flagged in the state's registration database or perhaps recorded as Uniform Commercial Code filings. There are no provisions for recording mechanic's liens or other non-secured claims against state registered boats which are not documented.
Security interests in non-titled and non-documented boats are recorded with the Connecticut Secretary of State office as Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings. Such recordings include original financing statements, IRS liens, judgments, vessels, and aircraft.
If the vessel is USCG documented, a lender's security interest may be perfected by filing a preferred vessel mortgage. These are recorded with the National Vessel Documentation Center with the earliest submissions taking priority. Other lien claims can be filed in the same manner although these function as notifications only. All such filings are indexed on the vessel's underlying abstract of title.
State and Federal tax liens on boats are not always recorded in a consistent manner and are therefore difficult to identify. They may show up as a red flag on state registration records, as UCC filings, in state revenue records, in a county clerks records, or on a vessel's abstract of title for documented boats.
Databases - Record Searches
Boat title and registration records in Connecticut are maintained by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Although this agency does offer an online registration verification, it is limited in scope. More detailed title and registration details may be obtained by an owner or otherwise qualified party by submitting a vessel record request form. It is also reported that DMV offices will provide telephone verifications on information shown on boat title or registration certificates in hand.
The Connecticut Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) database is accessible from their Secretary of State website (see WikiTags). It is searchable by the debtors name. This is a free service which is available to the general public. It produces records of original financing statements, IRS liens, judgments, vessels, and aircraft.
Ownership, mortgage, and lien search recordings for USCG documented vessels can be obtained by ordering an abstract of title and a copy of the certificate of documentation from the National Vessel Documentation Center. However, these are encoded and can be difficult to interpret, especially on older vessels with numerous recordings.
Abandoned boat information and a listing of such boats in Connecticut can be found by visiting the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) agency's website in WikiTags. Scroll to the bottom of the page for abandoned boat listings.
Information about business entities that own boats registered, titled, or documented in Connecticut can be obtained by searching the Secretary of State business records online. This includes corporations, Limited Liability Companies and other legal entities.
Taxes - Insurance
Sales tax is levied on boat transfers and first time registrations in Connecticut.
Connecticut does not require liability insurance for boats.
Operating - Safety
Boaters using Connecticut's waterways are required to have either a Safe Boating Certificate or a Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation.
