The interior of a 1926 Rolls-Royce Phantom I.

The car was sold in 2016 by Bonhams for £561,000.

The Phantom I ("I" meaning "first series") is a motor car built by Rolls-Royce from 1925 to 1931, which replaced the Silver Ghost. Like the latter model, it was built in both the United Kingdom (2,269 examples) and the United States (1,243 examples).

A major difference between the examples produced in the United Kingdom and the United States was the wheelbase (indicates the distance between the axis of a front wheel and that of the rear wheel on the same side.), respectively 3822 mm and 3721 mm.

Another difference was the gearbox; the British examples had a four-speed one, while the American ones had a three-speed one. Both had a single-plate dry clutch.

In 1934, Belgian coachbuilder Jonckheere modified a Phantom I and transformed it into a coupé. This allowed the car to reach a top speed of 140 km/h.

-THE ISLAND LIFE-

"As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen is a classic essay and self-help book that explores the power of thought and its impact on personal development and success. Written in 1903, the book emphasizes the idea that individuals can shape their lives through their thoughts and mindset. Here are ten key lessons and insights from the book:

1. The Power of Thought: Allen asserts that thoughts are the primary force shaping our lives. He emphasizes that our mental attitudes and beliefs directly influence our circumstances and experiences. This insight highlights the importance of cultivating positive and constructive thoughts.

2. Responsibility for One's Life: The book underscores the idea that individuals are responsible for their own lives and destinies. Allen argues that external circumstances do not dictate success or failure; rather, it is our thoughts and attitudes that create our reality. This lesson encourages readers to take ownership of their lives.

3. Thoughts Shape Character: Allen posits that a person’s character is formed by their thoughts. He explains that by focusing on noble and virtuous thoughts, individuals can develop a strong and admirable character. This insight emphasizes the connection between thought patterns and personal integrity.

4. The Relationship Between Thought and Action: The author highlights that thoughts precede actions. Allen argues that positive thoughts lead to positive actions, while negative thoughts can result in destructive behaviors. This lesson encourages readers to be mindful of their thoughts, as they ultimately manifest in their actions.

5. The Importance of Purpose: Allen stresses the significance of having a clear purpose or goal in life. He believes that a defined purpose guides one’s thoughts and actions, leading to greater focus and achievement. This insight encourages individuals to identify and pursue their passions and aspirations.

6. The Role of Environment: The book discusses how one’s environment and circumstances can influence thoughts, but it emphasizes that individuals have the power to rise above their surroundings. Allen encourages readers to create a positive mental environment, regardless of external conditions, promoting resilience and inner strength.

7. Overcoming Adversity: Allen asserts that adversity can be transformed into an opportunity for growth through the power of thought. He encourages readers to view challenges as stepping stones rather than obstacles, reinforcing the idea that a positive mindset can lead to personal development.

8. The Connection Between Thought and Health: The author explores the relationship between mental states and physical health. He suggests that negative thoughts can lead to physical ailments, while positive thoughts can promote well-being. This insight highlights the importance of mental health in overall life quality.

9. The Impact of Habitual Thinking: Allen discusses the significance of habitual thoughts and attitudes. He argues that our repeated thoughts shape our character and ultimately determine our destiny. This lesson encourages readers to cultivate positive mental habits that align with their goals.

10. Success is a Result of Thought: The book concludes with the idea that success in life is a direct result of our thoughts. Allen encourages readers to cultivate a mindset of abundance, positivity, and perseverance, as these attributes will lead to greater achievements and fulfillment.

"As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen is a profound exploration of the relationship between thought and personal development. Through insights on responsibility, purpose, character, and the power of mindset, Allen inspires readers to take control of their thoughts and, consequently, their lives. The lessons imparted in the book emphasize the transformative potential of positive thinking and the importance of fostering a constructive mental environment for achieving success and fulfillment.

In Mexico, many dress up as La Catrina for Day of the Dead celebration, symbolizing death’s beauty and equality. With skull face paint, flowers, and vibrant colors, this iconic look honors loved ones and celebrates life and death.

La Catrina is a central symbol of the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) celebration in Mexico, representing the cycle of life and death:

Origin

Mexican engraver José Guadalupe Posada first created La Catrina in 1912 as Calavera Garbancera, a satirical illustration of peasant women who tried to pass as upper class.

Meaning

La Catrina's elegant attire and skull makeup symbolize that death is a natural part of life, and should be acknowledged and celebrated.

Day of the Dead traditions

La Catrina is a popular subject in Day of the Dead art, and is often depicted in altars, paintings, sculptures, and dolls. People also wear costumes and paint their faces in sugar skull makeup to emulate La Catrina.

National symbol

La Catrina's fame grew after her debut at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1944, and she has become a national symbol of Mexican identity and heritage.

Male counterpart

The male counterpart to La Catrina is also known as a "Catrin", and wears skull makeup and black clothes, often with a top hat or mariachi costume.

2112 – Spotlight on Ayn Rand

Neil Peart gives acknowledgement to the genius of Ayn Rand in the liner notes to the album 2112. Here is a brief biography of this influential writer.

https://youtu.be/zaC041pQl4I

Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 2, 1905. At age six she taught herself to read. At the age of nine, she decided to make fiction writing her career. During her high school years, she was eyewitness to both the Kerensky Revolution, which she supported, and–in 1917–the Bolshevik Revolution, which she denounced from the outset.

In late 1925 she obtained permission to leave Russia for a visit to relatives in the US. She was determined never to return. She arrived in New York in February 1926. She obtained an extension to her visa, and then left for Hollywood to pursue a career as a screenwriter. On her second day there, Cecil B. DeMille saw her standing at the gate of his studio, offered her a ride to the set of his movie The King of Kings, and gave her a job, first as an extra, then as a script reader. During the next week at the studio, she met an actor, Frank O’Connor, whom she married in 1929; they were married until his death fifty years later.

She began writing The Fountainhead in 1935 (taking a break in 1937 to write Anthem). In the character of the architect Howard Roark, she presented for the first time the kind of hero whose depiction was the chief goal of her writing: the ideal man, man as “he could be and ought to be.” The Fountainhead was rejected by twelve publishers but finally being accepted. When published in 1943, it made history by becoming a best-seller through word of mouth two years later.

In 1951 she moved back to New York City and devoted herself full time to the completion of Atlas Shrugged. Published in 1957, Atlas Shrugged was her greatest achievement and last work of fiction. In this novel she dramatized her unique philosophy in a story that integrated ethics, metaphysics, politics, economics and sex.

Thereafter, she wrote and lectured on her philosophy–Objectivism, which she characterized as “a philosophy for living on earth.” Ayn Rand died on March 6, 1982, in her New York City apartment.

Hundreds of thousands of copies of her work are sold each year, so far totaling more than 25 million. Visit www.aynrand.org.
