Well, it burns Dino's, anyway!
PS! I can't wait to see that stud-girdled, tri-powered D8Maso burning up the roads of Nebraska!
Please don't start any fires in the Wheat chaff or corn husks due to the unleasment of 900+ HP, or burning rubber.
Lots of great tuning, and 20 good pulls on my "new" motor.
It ran great, sounded good, was happy and well behaved. We found some issues that would befuddled me if I had tried to solve them in the car (low fuel pump pressure, and a terribly stiff vacuum secondary diaphragm that felt OK, but was causing the secondaries to open late / erratically).
In fact, we spent the whole morning working these little challenges. Once we got past these issues, we were able to tune the engine to optimization.
What we seemed to find was that ultimate power is currently limited by my exhaust - primarily in my header collectors.
I was able to run / tune with all the critical systems of my own car (flywheel, distributor, air cleaner, ignition, coil, headers and muffler).
It was a long day, but a fun time, and a great learning experience for me.
I'm not sure who was responsible for that header design but these engines respond to "real collectors", not what those things are?
Those must have come Fiat?
I am convinced (as is my builder) that Doug is right, and the limiting factor in this build is at the end of those headers.
Does Hall sell Fiat parts?
Most of the disappointment is from the exhaust BUT I've played with that intake and I can tell you that just a Torker is night and day over it.
The Holley Strip Dominator is documented 25hp over the Torker. Not by me. By an ancient magazine article and possibly confirmed by one of Dan Jones dyno pulls? I'd have to re-review those?
What you have in that manifold is a pretty thing but it is the best to use with an automatic transmission, not a manual.
I was running a Holley 4779 with a leaned out idle circuit so it wouldn't smart you eyes at idle.
I think that it is the entire header itself that is the issue. This is ancient technology that the Pantera chassis on "under" headers restricts.
You need a 2" primary tube header, about 36" long primary tubes, and a 3-1/2" collector about 6" long to maximize exhaust contributions.
Simply put, that's a no can do in a Pantera. Not on UNDER the car headers.
Most headers are going to have two long and two short tubes on each side. That's more a function of what the builder can get into the assembly and to get it to fit to the chassis more then desire. Even the 180's are not going to have all equal length tubes to them.
In an early Mustang it is possible to get equal length primaries, or very close to it.
So sure, there is usually a compromise somewhere. I do remember Dan Jones saying that the Blue Thunder intake had 4 ports that flowed well and 4 that didn't and it needed to be reworked. That was proven on McLain's flow bench. Makes sense to me from my own results with it.
To be 100% truthful, I ran the Shelby lettered version of it. It is said that the Blue Thunder is a "continuation" but I can't verify that. I gave up on it 25 years ago. It's a good thing it's pretty, 'cause it sure isn't very smart?
How much power there is to find in the exhaust probably varies from set up to set up, but your induction flow has got to compliment the exhaust. Your's doesn't.
It is probably safe to say that with the right headers, there should be 75 to 100hp hiding and ready to be unleashed.
With a 1-3/4" x 24" long primaries, right there that's a killer BUT just simply changing the collector on THOSE headers is probably an honest 25 to 30 hp gain. I'd do that as a minimum.
The problem is, it doesn't fit well through the rear suspension.
Look at the headers from Pantera Pro-formance. They reduced the collector to 3" for clearance to get it through the suspension BUT it's a real collector and ANYTHING helps. The primaries on their GTS headers are also 2".
If I were you, I'd start borrowing sets of headers to try on the dyno before you settle on a combination. Maybe even a set of 180's to compare the power differences with? Check out Dan Jones dyno's. I know he was working on headers but don't remember how far he got with those tests?
The headers that you have are certainly alterable collector wise. The issue is going to be if it will clear when you put them on the car.
Why don't you let someone else do the hard work and either buy in or copy what they did?
Also a full 2-1/2" exhaust won't hurt either. Those only loose a couple of horse power at the very top rpm's to a full open 3" exhaust. That's not bad at all but 2-1/4 is restrictive.
None of this is your fault. From the very beginning the original Pantera exhaust was a bad compromise.
When 350hp was a lot of power for the street, that wasn't a problem. Things change.
And just to add on another thread here, I wouldn't be surprised at all that 1.8 rockers show a noticeable increase AND that is a cheap trick as well.
Just be sure that the valve springs can handle that extra lift.
Of course this experimenting would be simpler if the dyno was yours and you could mess with the set up under no pressure to get off of the machine?
So what do you need 500hp for anyway?
That's your dyno in your garage right?
Does Pat Mical still make headers? I thought he had some set up with a 3 inch collector made for the Pantera, but I could be wrong. Heard his stuff was great, but not to sure if many on here have used them.
I had a set of Pat Mical headers. Top notch. Used 3 inch collector. That was probably 13 years ago though.
You guys are funny. Irritating too.
It's very easy to spend somebody else's money.
All the choices in my car are a trade between performance, budget, amount of labor to install and getting the parts to fit in the vehicle while retaining a relatively stock engine bay, that can have a tub in it.
Nevertheless, I am willing to have a more scientific discussion on the current state of my engine.
Yes, I had all the spark plug wires installed.
The carb is now a Holley List 4609, modified for 4 corner idle, and has quite a bit of work done to it. 735 CFM.
Testing on the dyno showed a constant vacuum across the venturis through the RPM range (3000 - 6000). The engine is not running out of carburetor.
Testing on the dyno indicates that once the engine was making peak horsepower, changes to jet sizing, and changes to timing had very minor effects on the power, yet fuel consumption could change relatively significantly.
My builder is also convinced that the restriction is in the collector in the header. This was determined by testing without the tailpipes (enlarged) and the ANSAs.
Anyway - The motor is off the dyno. I have a lot of work to do to get the motor back in the car.
I am happy with what I have done.
I will hold off on installing the headers till near the end of the project. I am sure that by that time, this group will have "crowdsourced" me the ~2500 it will take to buy the correct Pat M. or Pantera Pro-Formance headers and exhaust that will unlock my missing 30 HP. PM me for PayPal instructions.
Likely, I will have enough donations to get a set of both. If you guys do that for me, I promise to post up a review of each configuration. This will allow you all to criticize other aspects of my build.
Well what are fiends friends for? Nothing wrong with 400 hp.
George's projection on the expected hp with that cam is right on it. Maybe the collectors are just going to be a waste of time?
Sorry, Rocky wasn't meaning anything against your wonderful build, and realize everything has a budget. While reading it again I simply got got focused and lead a stray on the header comments. Best of luck.
I was talking with Bosswrench last night and he is in the process of getting a software program for header/collector design.
5357 is back on the road! Whoo-Hoo!
Did 150 miles with the Cobras on Sunday AM. Fun trip.
The most important thing Rocky is that you and it are on the road again and both having fun.
Always surprised how small these cars look next to other stuff!
Looks like fun...can't wait to go cruising with you!
Glad you're back on the road, Chuck! I want a ride sometime soon!
Everyone of you is invited to either drive or ride with me. We just have to get it coordinated!
John are you bringing your car to Monterey? I want to see that bling – mobile!
Congratulations on getting back on the road again. I'm about a week or two away from getting mine back after 3 years of renovations. I can barely contain myself in anticipation.
Nice and clean. Looking good Chuck!
Shakedown cruise today - getting ready for a trip to Monterey.
Riding with the Cobras... unfortunately, the number of Panteras in Tucson is dwindling!
Should be a good trip up Mount Lemmon - I'll post up pictures.
Shakedown Cruise with the Cobras.
I received an endorsement from the White Mountain Apache Princess, 2018!
Higher praise is hard to come by!
I dig up this subject.
You say the collector of Proformance headers is 3" but on their site they write 2 1/2" ??????
Beyond this question, do you think these headers are the best for a street engine of about 450 HP?
I would go with what the website says, but I would think that the exhaust pipe is 2-1/2" and the collector 3"?
I wouldn't know which headers are the best. I've got Hall's 180's.
Pat Michal has dyno numbers on his. As I recall, they were impressive numbers.
From what I can tell, they are very high quality and very well engineered.
I've had a set of Pat's headers. Top notch quality.
My headers started life as "Hall Big Bore" headers. They have 1 7/8" primary tubing, but we cut out the (crappy) "merge", installed a much improved stainless band clamp between the headers and tailpipes, and then upgraded the stock tailpipes to 2 1/2" all the way back to the stock Ansa cans.
Even with these mods, I might suggest there may be better header / muffler solutions that could provide increased performance.
(Rumor has it that / I have heard anecdotally) the Hall headers are a boat design. The best thing about them is the clearance of the engine bay and suspension with no, or minimal mods to the stock tailpipes and mufflers.
That being said - "better is the enemy of good enough" - I'm not in the market at this time for a new exhaust (in both Euros, or time).
I watched and read a little (it's hard for me to read in English) the 43 pages of your topic, you did a very great job.
I also think to modify/improve the exhaust of mine with a pipe exhaust as big as possible according to the suspensions and I'll perhaps make the mufflers myself but I am not able to manufacture the headers and wish to buy the "best" possible without going up to 180 ° which modify too much the original aspect and prevent to use the rear trunk.
My headers were chosen for fit and compatibility over ultimate performance. We all make trade-offs.
I, too, would be interested in learning the BEST "through the suspension" header, tailpipe, and muffler combination.
Who knows, I might be tempted to upgrade!
You need to use Pat Michaels mufflers to get the 600+ hp out of his headers.
From what he explained to me, they are all engineered together.
I had asked him about the obvious "pinch" in the pipe as it routes through the suspension. He said the dyno showed no loss of power and is necessary to clear the axles and suspension.
Got a small new project completed today - seat belt holder-uppers! My wife will greatly appreciate this one - it always took about 5 minutes of fumbling for passengers to fasten their seat belts.
Anyway - I started by ordering 2 Ford "Buckle Sleeve - Black 12"" from LMC Truck for $13.90 plus $8.75 shipping. These are Part No. 48-2334-BL. Then I set them on my bench for 3 months. This is an important part of the process.
Finally I got motivated, and trimmed the tops to clear the upper half of the buckle assembly, and shortened the tubes, and cut a notch so that the installation would force the belt to stand up straight between my Corvette C-4 seats and the center console.
I am very happy with how it worked out. Labor was easy, and the plastic holders were very reasonable.
PS> The last picture is added as a special bonus for two of my friends. They will recognize the connection! Thanks to you both for your hospitality!
just amazing well done you.
I like the end results.
However I am having trouble visulizing the installation. Did you cut the "loop" completely off?
No - I kept the bottom loop, which is attached (from the factory) to a steel (powdercoated, or painted) bracket.
At the bottom end (where the belt bolts to the floorpan), I had to cut the sleeve (slightly) so the painted bracket can sit flat on the floor, and the seat belt webbing is rotated so the belt is oriented straight up. The rest of the plastic bracket rests on the carpet, and forces the seat belt to stand up vertically.
It will be obvious once you get your hands on one and look at it in the car.
Pictures 4 & 5 (counting from the top) try and illustrate it.
Nice job. Always great to do something that simplifies owning and driving these machines.
Group 4 Tail Lights getting prepped for install.
I am using the Pantera Electronics light modules, so the surface of the buckets doesn't have to be "ultra reflective". The insides were much shinier when I got them, but they got a light "soda blast" to provide a clean surface for the finish.
The Jon Haas (P-E) setup runs the wires through each of the bucket light sockets, so in this case, they are not required. I expect to do some work to seal off the insides as I run the wires through the back of the buckets. Probably use heat shrink, or some other technique.
I am pretty excited about this upgrade. It should be a pretty easy swap. I have some matching connectors to the stock harness coming from Jon, so once I get the buckets wired up, and the light assemblies installed in the buckets, the swap from the US lights, to the Group 4 configuration should be a snap.
Can't recall if I posted this picture for 5357 from the Midnight at the Oasis (MATO) show.... If I did - too bad!

Conservative Paper: Trump's Supreme Court Pick Will Overturn Roe v. Wade
Colin KalmbacherJun 30th, 2018, 2:52 pm
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's imminent retirement has reinvigorated a national debate regarding the continued longevity of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. A bi-partisan collection of conservative senators has even gone so far as to suggest that President Donald Trump's replacement should commit to keeping Roe intact.
But some conservative voices are taking the opportunity to telegraph exactly the opposite. On Thursday, the Washington Examiner ran an editorial titled simply, "Overturn Roe v. Wade."
Pulling no punches, the editorial begins, "We write not to praise Anthony Kennedy's jurisprudence, but to bury it."
The missive continues:
Across 31 years, Justice Kennedy issued many rulings, good and bad. But his most lasting legacy was the travesty he released 26 years ago today, Planned Parenthood v. Casey. With airy, mystical reasoning, unrooted in the Constitution, the common law, or the natural law, he talked himself into saving a precedent that was indefensible legally, scientifically, and morally.
The editorial goes on to make its case by briefly explaining the "right to privacy" theory undergirding the Roe decision. Kennedy didn't take part in that ruling, of course, but added his own imprimatur during one of his first significant cases on the nation's highest court.
In the 1992 case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Kennedy wrote a joint plurality opinion with Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and David Souter. One passage of his decision is frequently cited by conservatives as evidence of Kennedy's betrayal of judicial restraint. An abbreviated version of the following passage appears in the Examiner's dismissal of Kennedy's time on the court:
These matters, involving the most intimate and personal choices a person may make in a lifetime, choices central to personal dignity and autonomy, are central to the liberty protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life. Beliefs about these matters could not define the attributes of personhood were they formed under compulsion of the State.
This passage–and all it represents–are described as anathema to movement conservatives. The editorial continues:
Kennedy added turgid and empty language about how "liberty finds no refuge in a jurisprudence of doubt." Here, he was invoking the crutch of stare decisis, the legal principle that precedents deserve special weight and should normally be upheld. That, and that alone, is what Roe and Casey's defenders will lean on today..
Indeed, the term stare decisis is finding itself subject to the occasional fit of interest as Democrats, liberals, leftists and moderates invoke the doctrine as a sort of litmus test for the next Supreme Court justice.
Senate Republicans–and most conservative-leaning media–have mostly stayed quiet about the prospect of overturning Roe and upending the high court's stare decisis posture. And, as noted, even Republican senators like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski–along with conservative Democratic Senator Joe Manchin–have issued statements supportive of keeping abortion legal and reflecting their opinion that stare decisis applies to Roe and its legal progeny.
Others still are suggesting that invocations of Roe's potential demise are akin to the cries of Cassandra or Chicken Little. So, the Washington Examiner's editorial stands out as a clear and honest statement of principles.
The editorial ends with the idea that Roe v. Wade is comparable to the 1857 Dred Scott decision deeming slavery constitutional:
Kennedy's ruling hid naked politics behind meaningless words. It gravely harmed the court and our politics, and its body count is massive. As Kennedy, blessedly, vacates his seat, the central mandate for the man or woman who will take his seat, and for all the justices, is to wipe away a disgrace that ranks alongside Dred Scott, and overtun [sic] Roe and Casey.

Editor's note: an editorial reflects the overall political positions of an entire news organization. Endorsements for political offices are usually made in editorials. More frequently, opinion-editorialists write articles expressing their own personal opinions–which purportedly do not reflect their entire paper's political position. Thursday's Examiner editorial is indicative of the paper's overall outlook on the issue of abortion.

Two F2 populations (K22/CI7 and K22/Dan340, referred to as POP-1 and POP-2, respectively), which share a common parent (K22), were developed and genotyped using a GoldenGate assay containing 1,536 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. An integrated genetic linkage map was constructed using 619 SNP markers, spanning a total of 1649.03 cM of the maize genome with an average interval of 2.67 cM. Seventeen quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for all the traits were detected in the first map and 13 in the second. In these two maps, QTLs for different traits were localized to the same genomic regions and some were co-located with candidate genes in the tocopherol biosynthesis pathway. Single QTL was responsible for 3.03% to 52.75% of the phenotypic variation and the QTLs in sum explained23.4% to 66.52% of the total phenotypic variation. A major QTL (qc5-1/qd5-1) affecting alpha-tocopherol (alphaT) was identified on chromosome 5 between the PZA03161.1 and PZA02068.1 in the POP-2. The QTL region was narrowed down from 18.7 Mb to 5.4 Mb by estimating the recombination using high-density markers of the QTL region. This allowed the identification of the candidate gene VTE4 which encodes gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase, an enzyme that transforms gamma-tocopherol (gammaT)to alphaT.

Serve some heritage. Feel the love.
Sisters Olga and Carolina Belmonte have a 12-year age gap, but the separation melts away when they get together to cook. These Leawood kitchen masters have been serving up Spanish culinary creations to their families and friends for years, and sometimes their guests have no words.
With four children between them, these sisters believe in the importance of the family table – a fixture that in Spain brings families together several times a day, usually with a glass of wine.
Olga and Carolina believe that food unites people and creates memories.
Olga's specialty is paella, which she will be incorporating into the menu of her new catering company, AliOli, that will feature her Spanish and European cuisine. On the home front, Olga's cooking is what she describes as mainly "comfort food," with most of her recipes in her head.
Olga and Carolina believe the key to great cooking is to buy the best basic ingredients and then keep it simple. Olga says she loves having dinner parties and getting invited to them, too.
Olga adds that she believes cooking meets a heartfelt need in the lives of others and quotes her brother-in-law who told her that he feels like crying for joy after a particularly delicious and memorable meal.

Large scale profiling in human primary-cell based phenotypic assays identifies novel outcome pathways for drug efficacy in cardiovascular disease
Location: 8
Ellen Berg, PhD
DiscoverX Corporation
We have previously identified an in vitro signature, characterized by increased cell surface levels of serum amyloid A (SAA) in a human primary cell-based coronary artery smooth muscle cell model of vascular inflammation (BioMAP CASM3C system), shared by certain compound classes associated with cardiovascular toxicity. Data mining a large reference database containing more than 4,500 test agents (drugs, experimental chemicals, etc.) profiled in this assay identified certain mechanisms to be associated with this signature: MEK inhibitors, HDAC inhibitors, GR/MR Agonists, IL-6 pathway agonists, as well as modulators of SIRT1. Since SAA is a clinical biomarker associated with risk of cardiovascular disease in humans, these results suggested that these mechanisms might contribute to cardiotoxicity by direct promotion of vascular dysfunction through SAA within vascular tissues. To further extend these studies, we mined the reference database to identify agents that decrease levels of SAA in the BioMAP CASM3C system without causing overt cytotoxicity. Notable agents that were found to decrease the cell surface level of SAA relative to vehicle control include GLP-1, an endogenous peptide developed as a drug used for treatment of diabetes, roflumilast, a PDE IV inhibitor used for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, the BCR-Abl inhibitor and oncology drug, imatinib, and a mimetic of ApoA-1, the major lipoprotein of HDL. These represent agents that have been shown to have cardiovascular protective effects in clinical or in vivo studies (some within their class). The results here suggest a potential mechanism for this cardiovascular benefit through regulation of SAA, possibly through interfering with the involvement of SAA in the recruitment and activation of monocytes in the vascular wall. These findings support the value of a large chemical biology database of reference drugs profiled through primary human cell-based phenotypic assays. This database has been mined to reveal several novel associations with adverse events and identified potential mechanisms of toxicity, and here we show how this database can be used to generate new hypotheses for drug efficacy. Collectively these data support a disease and adverse outcome pathway for cardiovascular disease involving the regulation of SAA.

Actress Holly Robinson Peete will speak about autism at the Freshman Convocation
Rima Bek
Actress, activist and philanthropist Holly Robinson Peete has been chosen to speak at this year's Freshman Convocation.
Peete will talk about autism spectrum disorder, which will compliment this year's freshman common reading book, Mark Haddon's "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time."
Tom Piernik, director of Student Development and International Programs and chair of CSUN's Freshman Convocation said Peete was chosen for her expertise in autism.
"She is probably now the most successful advocate of issues surrounding autism. Be it individual rights, education, or family support," he said.
Peete was recently a "successful contender" on NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice," Piernik said.
Peete has a set of fraternal twins. Her son Charlie has autism while her daughter, Callie, does not.
Having an autistic child "has completely transformed her life," Piernik said.
Peete and husband Rodney Peete formed the HollyRod Foundation in 1996.
Peete and her daughter have also written a children's book called "My Brother Charlie."
"The idea of the convocation is a coming together of the campus, in this case, the coming together is to welcome the freshman class," Piernik said.
Piernik said the intention is to give freshmen a sense of their academic importance and instill the fact that they can learn everywhere on this campus, not just in the classroom.
"We're also hoping that they get a sense of spirit, camaraderie and the joy of being a Matador," Piernik said. "It's also pride building."
While it is called the "Freshman Convocation," all students, faculty and staff are invited to attend the event.
Some students said they would not attend the convocation because the whole point is to raise money.
David Faramarzi, a 21-year-old junior business major said he will not attend.
"It's just another person just saying another speech about donations," he said. "The underlying cause of it is donations."
Faramarzi said he does donate to causes.
"I don't have to go and hear another speech," Faramarzi said. "I could just target a few causes, like three or four of them, and just put my time and effort into them."
Other students, however, do want to attend the convocation because of Peete's influence to fundraise for a cause like autism.
Freshman Katie Chaka, a 20-year-old history major said the convocation would be a good way to meet people because a lot of freshmen are going.
"I would want to go because I know somebody who's autistic," she said. "So, I would think it is informational and cool, and I think it's neat that she's raising money for that."
Upper-level students also show interest in attending the celebrations.
Georgette Artiga, 19-year-old sophomore said she wants to meet the freshmen because she knows what they are going through.
"I probably would (go) just because of the power that (Peete) has over raising lots of money for important issues that are all over every community," she said. "It hits everybody."
The convocation usually has the author of the freshmen common reading book speak at the event, but this year's author does not do public speaking or appearances, Piernik said.
"We had to find another person who had a message that might be one that would illuminate the topic of the book," Piernik said.
Freshmen are to meet in Matador Square between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. and walk to the Oviatt Library together, Piernik said.
A reception will follow with food, music and giveaways. Peete will be autographing copies of the book at the reception following the event.

Buying a new bottle of water every day is an expensive habit. It's also very unsustainable and has a negative impact on our environment. In Britain we use 15 million plastic bottles a day, with many of these going into landfill and taking hundreds of years to erode, while manufacturing a new bottle takes energy and emits gases.
Luckily there's an alternative! There are water fountains across campus which you can use to refill bottles, saving you money and help the environment too! Evidence suggests that bottled water is essentially no better for you than tap water, and costs a lot more. Check out the map below to find your nearest water point!

What is Blockchain? | A Basic Overview
Concluding About Top Blockchain Development Companies
Lendingblock was founded by Wall Street tech veteran Steve Swain in late 2017. The company was initially funded by a $10m best blockchain companies Initial Coin Offering in April 2018 and subsequently regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission in 2019.
Right from identity verification to tracking luggage, making payments, and introducing customer loyalty schemes, our blockchain development solutions decentralize the travel & tourism businesses efficiently. The supply chain applications that our Blockchain Developers create, cover the entire lifecycle of a block of data from production place, to the warehouse, logistics, retail, and end consumers. Our team has successfully developed impactful software solutions for many late-stage startups, small businesses, and Fortune 500 companies. One potential solution to this problem is creating a blockchain-based system for medical records that can be linked into existing electronic medical record software and act as an overarching, single view of a patient's record. Every hash function is unique, and can only be decoded if the person who owns the data – in this case, the patient – gives their consent. In this first in a series of articles looking at technology shares to watch on the FTSE AIM Market, we examine why blockchain technology is thought to be so revolutionary, as well as the current blockchain investment opportunities that exist on AIM. We are leveraging Blockchain technology and smart contract for the real time settlement of paid challenges in peer to peer mode.
By permanently time-stamping and storing these exchanges of value, the blockchain offers a way to securely and efficiently create a tamper-proof log of activity − thus manufacturing trust within its code. ABRA—A global app and cryptocurrency wallet that allows you to buy, invest and store 20 crytopcurriences including Bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and more.

Guts—A transparent ticketing ecosystem that uses blockchain technology to eliminate ticket fraud and the secondary ticket market.
They range from small private websites to large ERP systems and decentralized exchange systems. Blockchain technology is one in a million to use as it has no competitors at present and the benefits of using Blockchain is a never-ending list.
Next, we have TRACKER — a forensics tool used by law enforcement, cybersecurity firms, and Financial Intelligence Units to investigate criminal use of cryptocurrency with the goal of identifying these bad actors. We empower developers with a software development kit for blockchain applications written in JavaScript. Blockchain technology was designed for digital transactions in a secure, transparent network of immutable ledgers.
Unlike savings accounts in traditional finance, blockchain wallets don't pay any interest on deposits. Lendingblock allows users to earn substantial passive returns on their crypto in a safe and secure way.

CNN explores modern-day Africa with new-look Inside Africa
Jacktone Lawi
CNN International's longest-running feature show, Inside Africa, is heading into 2021 with a new mission to tell stories about up-to-the-minute trends, triumphant accomplishments, and innovative solutions from Africa's brightest minds and boldest dreamers who are making a difference in all areas of modern-day life.
For over 20 years, Inside Africa has captivated CNN's global audience with stories that challenge assumptions and explore new experiences – taking viewers on a journey through Africa's hidden beauty and natural treasures, all while highlighting the achievements and potential of its people. Debuting on 9 January 2021, the new Inside Africa will tell the story of today's Africa with a focus on the future and the individuals, endeavors and innovations already shaping it. These stories will be told across TV, digital and social media platforms to connect with and inspire audiences from all over the world.
Each week, Inside Africa will either deep-dive into a particular hot topic in a specific country, or take a broader look at a trend addressing a challenge or a need across the continent. Using a documentary-style approach, each episode will give viewers an opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Africa's most outstanding personalities to truly experience their life, work and passion.
The first episode, airing on CNN International from 9 January, will showcase the entrepreneurial spirit of Nigeria. In this episode, viewers will meet the start-up stars who know that tech is central to improving our world and that innovation is the secret to success. Inside Africa will speak to some of Nigeria's entrepreneurs who, having put in the hard work to build up their businesses, are now ready to take on the global stage. Further episodes in the pipeline will look at people making an impact in Africa's e-sports scene, South Africa's innovative agri-preneurs, and the up-cycling revolutionaries of Mauritius.
Continuing its support for Inside Africa into this new era is Zenith Bank, the long-time sponsor and commercial partner for the programme. In-keeping with the contemporary focus for Inside Africa, the look and feel for the content will be revamped across all platforms with new design, graphics and imagery.
"We are delighted to be entering a new chapter for one of our best-loved feature shows," said Ellana Lee, Senior Vice President, CNN International. "Over the years we have captivated global audiences by telling stories that documented how we reached this moment in time for Africa. To truly reflect the dynamic Africa that is being built right now, the focus of Inside Africa will pivot to explore both the Africa of today and, more importantly, what it looks like tomorrow. I cannot wait to unveil this new show to the world as CNN tells the stories of the people shaping the continent's future."

On the worst day of our lives Stephen and Paul were there straight away to help us. They were so kind and caring. Their attentive service was outstanding. They took care of everything from coordinating with the vet, to bringing home our fur baby. It was so lovely to have someone locally to look after us.
Stephen and Paul went above and beyond for the three of us. We both knew from the start of our loss she was in good hands and treated with the upmost dignity Habby deserved. I could not recommend them any higher and words can't say enough.
Thank you to Paul and the team for looking after Bella and our family at this time – everything was so easy and straightforward it really took a stress off our minds.
Last week on the 24th July we lost our beautiful and loyal dog BELLA. During this really difficult and traumatic time for myself and my family, I had to engage the services of your business and that is where I had the pleasure of dealing with Ian. Ian presented himself in such a compassionate and understanding manner that he allowed me to be comfortable and emotional at all times. His professionalism was backed up with phones calls to me giving me full an understanding and clarity as to what steps he was up to with our beautiful girl "Bella". Less than a week and Bella was brought back home, which was just amazing for us all. She was presented in a stunning and stylish wooden box and her paw print and locket of fur were also presented in a thoughtful and tactful manner. Although the whole experience was very emotional for myself and my family – if it wasn't for such a great customer service experience delivered by Ian, I cannot imagine how this would have turned out. So WELL DONE and THANK YOU.

"Ya Gallery " cooperates with talented painters of Ukraine and implements their exhibition projects at different display areas, both in Ukraine, as well as abroad.
The example of implementation of the system work with young painters is the grant program Genofond. In winter 2011 the authors' project was presented in the exhibition center of Vilnius Academy of Arts Titanikas in Vilnius, and in August 2011 - in Lviv Palace of Arts. The participants of the Genofond are: Dobrynia Ivanov, Oleh Hryshchenko, Volodymyr Denysenkov, Anton Logov, Nina Murashkina, Sadan, Volodymyr Stetskovych, Svitlana Struk, Andrii Dudchenko, Ruslan Tremba and Mykyta Kravtsov. The program was supported by patrons: Oleksandr Kamenets, Pavlo Martynov, Dina Sinkler and Olena Khomenko.
Also the Art Center established the project-survey of undiscovered territory of urban naive art of Ukraine. Within the frameworks of Novyi Naiv, there were conducted a great deal of exhibitions with the participation of Dmytro Moldovanov, Oleksand Naiden, Dmytro Kuzovkin, Vado, Iryna Harshyna, Oleksandr Lutsenko-Baban and other authors.
"Ya Gallery " supports the idea of dialogue in the art. Thus in particular cooperating with Lidiia Lykhach, Oleksandr Liapin and Nataliia Filonenko, the following projects were created: The Folk Current, the project-discussion of the folk naive and current Ukrainian art; The Dialogue - the opposition of abstract painting and traditional wooden sculpture; I Feel! - it is the project-experiment where the clash of modern music and painting occurs; To Kill the Photograph - the dialogue between a documentary photography and modern art; Abstract Vision Test - the test project where it was suggested to see the abstract in objective environment.
Longing to invite other cities and cultural organizations to the process of formation of Ukrainian art, the Art Center implements own projects in museum space of Ukraine. The first project that was introduced firstly in Lviv national gallery of art, and then in Dnipropetrovsk art museum, was the New Old Masters project. Another project - The Ground, was introduced in Cherkasy regional art museum, where the museum model became the basis for the play with classification and location of showpieces. Thus in 2014 in Khmelnytskyi regional art museum there was presented the personal project of Mykola Malyshko "To The Tree". And already in a year the art activity of the painter was presented in the walls of Dnipropetrovsk art museum within the frameworks of new exposition named "The Line".
Also "Ya Gallery " constantly takes part in different festivals of modern art, in particular in the forum of art projects ART-KYIV Contemporary, the festival of modern art HOHOLFEST and The Hight of Museums in Ukraine and abroad; namely the works of Mykola Malyshko were presented within the frameworks of The International Festival of Modern Art FIAT in Toulouse gallery Espace Croix-Baragnon. Also the authors of "Ya Gallery " Art Center take part in the international festival "Book Arsenal", international festival ARTVILNIUS and International art fair ART MOSCOW.
"Ya Gallery " established a large grant program for young painters. The first grant-holder of the Art Center was Artem Volokitin in 2008. Since that time the program works on a permanent basis and ensures the system work of the authors. The result of the above is the implementation of a numerous group and personal exhibition projects in Ukraine and abroad.
The grant program of the Art Center is supported by the following patrons: Oleksandr Kamenets, Pavlo Martynov, Dina Sinkler, Olena Khomenko, Konstiantyn Kozhemiaka, Yurii Oslamovskyi, and also the family of Bilas.
The publishing house of art literature Artbook is a remarkable component of the "Ya Gallery " Art Center activity. The printed editions accompany the projects of the Art Center and its authors. Such editions include the catalogues Genofond (2010), Entrance/Exit (2010), Genofond. Pinacotheca (2011), The Figures of Ukraine (2015), and also the booklets of Serhii Yakutovych Hohol Was Born (2009), New Old Masters (2011), Andrii Khir (2013) and a number of others.
In 2008 Artbook established the series of books Ukrainian photography (UPO), and also issued several digests "The Symbol" dedicated to graphics and black-and-white photography in Ukraine. Apart from the above, the publishing house created the artbooks to the projects of Pavlo Makov: The Author's books, maps and miniatures in 2007 (together with Spirit and Letter), and in 2012 - The Weekly. Today the publishing house continues to work on the creation of monographs dedicated to the art activity of famous Ukrainian authors.
"Ya Gallery " takes part in different charitable projects and auctions. Thus within the frameworks of cooperation of the Art Center with social organization "Healthy humanity", the following charitable art projects were implemented, in particular The colouring book for adults and children's playground. In 2015 a social educational and art project ARTandFACTS was implemented.
Within the frameworks of "Ya Gallery " with the Art Arsenal Charitable Fund, there were conducted Children art studies on Modern Ukrainian Art and the special project of The Arsenal of Ideas Portrait / Self Portrait, the projects that were created for children and about children.
The Art Center continues to perform charitable activity and carry out charitable projects.
In the Ya Gallery art center, there was established a large lecture program with the participation of the invited lecturers, art men and curators, among whom are Pavlo Gudimov, Borys Filonenko, Olena Hudenko-Nakonechna, Oleksandr Liapin, Oleksandr Hliadielov, Viktor Marushchenko, Serhii Maidukov.
The subject of lectures is very different. Thus for example, the course of lectures on the history of worldwide art; the Culture and heritage of France course; the course on actual topic on the history of origin and development of media art. And also there were conducted the lectures on design, publishing industry, photography, the history of modern Ukrainian art, the meetings and talks with native and foreign figures of culture and art.

Q: CVS: Tracking all the changes in a branch Say, I have three branches, Branch b0, b1 and b2.
b1 is forked some years back from b0 and b2 recently from b1.
All changes done on branch b2 are done by me and another developer, now what I need to do is to merge all my changes to branch b0.
I see two ways of doing it:

*

*Manually copy-paste code (as code additions are quite independent) or

*Create a diff file of Current state of branch b2 to the state where b2 was forked from b1. Apply the patch to b0, and manually handle conflicts.

2nd way seems more feasible to me, the only problem I have is how do I create a diff of all changes done on a branch?
Any other better way of doing this are also welcome.
Thanks,

PINK FLOYD's Nick Mason interviewed by David Fricke for third season of the public television interview series Speakeasy
By Damaris Navarro	 December 21, 2017 No Comments
The third season of the public television interview series Speakeasy is in progress, bringing with it a series of new conversations with acclaimed artists like Nick Lowe, Steve Earle, Gary Clark Jr. and Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason — the latter of which can be seen below. Nick Mason is best known as the drummer of legendary rock band Pink Floyd. He is the only member of Pink Floyd to be featured on every one of their albums and is the only constant member of the band since its formation in 1965.
Mason is interviewed by David Fricke, with the pair discussing the early days of Pink Floyd, groupies, space, and the legacy of the band, with the clip showing a snippet of their conversation about the creative forces that were within the band. Mason says: "The fact that David Gilmour and Roger Waters don't want to work together is part of the reason that we managed to do the good work that we did do. That actually if there hadn't been that friction, we probably wouldn't have made the albums that we did make."
Waters, Rush bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee, Carlos Santana, John Mellencamp, David Crosby and Graham Nash have all previously appeared on the show.

Community support fuels FARE initiatives to fund research, share information, advocate for better policies and raise food allergy awareness. In turn, FARE supports community efforts by creating tools that help volunteers spread knowledge and awareness effectively. Last fall, this collaborative approach paid big dividends when volunteers near San Antonio, TX, put a free FARE resource to work, empowering more than 4,200 grade schoolers to help save lives.
In a Nov. 21, 2018 webinar, Building the Village Food Allergy Families Need, health strategist and innovator Glenna Crooks, PhD, describes how the social networks of your child with food allergy can help your family manage this serious medical condition. Her approach to communicating vital health information to members of your child's networks is supported with additional online resources that you can access through FARE.

Guest post by Teen Advisory Group member Josephine Schizer.
As someone who has had anaphylactic food allergies since I was two months old, I know that having food allergies can sometimes place me in the minority, requiring me to be constantly conscious of things no one else is worrying about. How will I carry my auto-injectors? What will I eat? Is this safe for me?
Guest post by food allergy advocate Amanda Palin.
My name is Amanda Palin. I am a sophomore at Elon University. I love to dance (it's one of my minors), watch football with friends, hang out with my sorority sisters, and raise my voice for advocacy groups and causes close to my heart. I have life-threatening allergies to peanuts and soy.
Wheat is a difficult food allergy to manage. While most children with wheat allergy outgrow it by age 12, one in three do not. Many individuals with wheat allergy have severe reaction symptoms. And this rich source of vegetable protein is everywhere – not just as a staple in baked goods and pastas, but also as a binding ingredient in sauces, soups, ice creams, processed meats, imitation seafood and more. Wheat can even pop up in non-food products, from play doughs and classroom crafts to cosmetics and medications.

Woodard now serving time
UTD police have filed charges with Collin County District Attorney in hopes of obtaining an indictment against David Patrick Woodard, the man charged with two burglaries and attempted sexual assaults in Waterview apartments last fall.
In August 2003, two female UTD students reported separate incidents of an intruder in their apartments. In both cases, the suspect was described as a 6-foot, white, college-aged male weighing 150 pounds with dark hair. Both women reported being assaulted, but both managed to escape.
One month later, UTD police filed two arrest warrants for Woodard, a Coppell man arrested in September 2003 by Lewisville police on similar charges.
Woodard is currently serving four concurrent 40-year sentences in the state penitentiary in connection with the Denton County charges. Woodard accepted the sentence in a plea bargain agreement for two burglary and two sexual assault charges.

Gone are the days when you had to shell out big buck for buying smartphones with premium features. Technology has become more accessible recently and the biggest example of that lies in the sub-Rs 20,000 category—you get good performance, design and even software at a reasonable price.
It can be confusing to pick the right smartphone for you, however, given the amount of variety that lies in the segment. So we have segregated the top smartphones under Rs 20,000 according to their strengths, so you can pick the one that suits you best.
This phone actually lies just north of the Rs 20,000 price point. But if you have an HDFC debit or credit card, you can purchase the lowest spec variant with 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage for as low as Rs 19,999, making it the cheapest smartphone to run a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC. There's not a lot to not like about this phone—it has the fastest processor Qualcomm has to offer, some thermal trickery to keep your smartphone cool during intense gaming sessions, a very good camera and some durable plastic that doesn't shatter or pick up scratches.
It even gets a modded version of the MIUI with an app drawer that allows you colour code your applications.
The only thing we loathe about the phone is its app optimisation, which might get better as it receives the Pie upgrade.
This smartphone has "Play" in its name, which definitely means it means business, right? Yes. It has the best chipset Huawei has to offer, the HiSilicon 970, which walks abreast with Snapdragon 845 standards. Although it doesn't have any tricks to keep it cool, it can run PUBG on its best settings without any frame drops or heating tantrums. It also has a fairly premium design and very decent AI-powered cameras.
The only thing we dislike about this phone is its UI, which lacks an app drawer and has childish icons.
This phone is an absolute steal for the kind of display, software and, most importantly, the camera it has to offer— all at just a rupee below Rs 20,000. The rear of the phone sports a 12MP+5MP ZEISS-enhanced package. At the front, it comes with an 8MP camera with f/2.0 aperture. The phone was launched yesterday and it will go on sale on 7 December, so you might have to wait a bit if you wanted to buy this phone right away.
Other things to like about the smartphone are the 5.84-inch HDR display, ability to notch it up to Android Pie, understated design and stock Android experience, thanks to the Android One platform it runs (if you're into that).
The Mi A2 received quite a bit of flak for skipping crucial features like the Micro USB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also received a significant bump in its price. But that doesn't make the Mi A2 a slacker by any means. It is powered by the best mid-range processor Qualcomm had to offer at the time, the Snapdragon 660 and runs stock Android. It also has one of the best cameras in the segment—12MP + 20MP dual rear camera module and 20MP front-facing camera, both of which are AI-enabled.
It carries the same aluminium unimetal arch design of the Mi A1, which may look a bit dated to a few.
I'm personally not a fan of gradient colours, but I'm not sure how Huawei gets it right every time. The Nova 3i is one of the prettiest smartphones not only in the sub-Rs 20,000 range but also in the premium categories. The two-tone gradient looks elegant and understated. It's not tacky but makes you stand out at the same time—a very difficult balance to strike.
But it's not all looks and no hooks— it runs a very capable Kirin 710 chipset underneath that two-tone skin and comes with a beautiful display, ample RAM and storage. It is marred, however, by its UI, which is a common letdown in all Huawei and Honor phones. You can bandage the eyesore with a launcher though. It runs Android Oreo 8.1 and while Huawei hasn't announced a Pie update for the phone, it may be safe to assume it might get one in the first quarter of January.
The two smartphones from Realme were launched keeping the "youth" in mind. This basically means three things—selfies, gaming and looks. The two smartphones boast nearly the same design—6.3-inch LCD display with a dewdrop notch, faux metal railing and polycarbonate back with acrylic coating. The back of the phone produces "vertical light pillars", which may be tasteful to a lot of people.
The difference lies inside, however. The Realme U1 is powered by MediaTek's flagship Helio P70 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB internal storage. The Realme 2 Pro has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC and is paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
The Realme U1 has a more selfie centric 25MP front-facing camera with a Sony IMX 526 sensor while the Realme 2 Pro has a perfectly capable 16MP camera.
Both phones are capable of gaming, but don't expect top-end, mind-blowing stuff—the highest default graphics setting available on PUBG is medium.
The most utilitarian phone of the lot, the Zenfone Max Pro M1 is easy to be overlooked. But once you get past the glamour of other phones, you see the genius of this one. It comes with up to 64GB of internal storage, 6GB of RAM, Snapdragon 636 processor and a humongous 5,000mAh battery. While the camera performance can be named as run-of-the-mill, this is the perfect smartphone for those who are always on the go and don't have the time to charge up their phones. The UI is one of the more bearable ones and has some really useful features as well.
The Motorola One Power is very similar to the Zenfone Max Pro M1, except that it has a better 6.2-inch display with a pixel density of 402ppi which is more spread out to the edges. It has the same 5,000mAh battery which has fancier charging options like Turbo Charging with a USB Type-C port.
Motorola also has promised a Pie upgrade for this phone, so it is definitely a must buy for those with a peeve to be updated with the latest Android versions.
The camera can be a letdown for people buying the One Power, however.
The Note 6 Pro is a marginal upgrade over the already awesome Note 5 Pro, except that it could have waited a bit longer. It gets an upgrade in its battery capacity, which has been upped to 4,000mAh and an additional camera at the front. The rear camera is great, just like its predecessor, and can give the best camera phones mentioned above a run for their money. The display is also spread out further to the bezels. The rest of the phone, from the processor to the overall design, remains the same. It is still a very good buy at Rs 15,999.

EULEX wants access to KPS files
EULEX wants to reach an agreement with the Kosovo Police Service (KPS) giving the mission access to all police information, writes Priština daily Koha Ditore.
"EULEX wants to establish a permanent system that would allow it to make non-stop, ad hoc requests for access to the Kosovo police's information," said one of the paper's sources.
The head of the KPS's public relations department, Baki Kelani, confirmed that such a request had arrived and that EULEX had called for a memorandum of understanding earlier.
"That request has been submitted and received by the police chief's bureau. The KPS's legal department is now considering it," said Kelani.
The daily states that, under such an agreement, the KPS would have to furnish EULEX with police information that the EU mission would then be able to share with third parties, including the Serbian Interior Ministry.
European officials have confirmed the news, adding that they would not be divulging any information without Priština's prior consent.

I'm sure it will be no surprise to anyone that I have been on the Marsh again today. It's a beautiful day and the Marsh, as usual, called to me. Today I went to the extreme end of the Marsh, to Rye Harbour and Camber Castle. It was the castle first and I was surprised that here was no direct route to it. Parking on the Rye Harbour Road I followed the path along the River Brede for a while before turning towards the castle itself. Built for Henry the Eighth and subsequently not used because of the receding sea, I was surprised that there was so much of it left inside. Erosion was obvious and the outer layer of stone was completely gone in places. The place has an eathreal quality about it, standing nobly in the middle of nowhere and I liked the grandeur nature of the curved walls. It was a shame that it was closed to the public today because I would have loved to explore.
Finally, I moved to the other end of the nature reserve and followed the path down the harbour before following a path at the opposite end of the reserve. Again, there were more waterways and larger bodies of water but this time the tide was out and the usual amount of water present was absent. So too the birds here, no advocets or curlews to be seen today, but the walk was rewarding and pleasant in the afternoon sun and there was that promise of tea and scones to look forward to next.
I get asked a lot of the time where and when I write and how often so I thought I'd share a few ideas of my own. To start with not everybody is the same and what works for me might not for others. So here is how it works for me. Let's deal with the when first. I think it's important to write every day, it's a discipline and routine that helps to make it a normal practice rather than an odd event. I like to write first thing in the morning as a rule, but if I'm in a school then I write in the evenings but what really that matters is that I write every day. How much depends on what I'm writing about. If it's a fast pace action scene then I write these quickly and notch up a good word count in an hour whereas at other times, if i'm writing something less pacey then it can take longer to get the words down. So why is it so important to write every day? Simply put it keeps you on top of your game, constant practising of your skills, exercising your imagination and creative writing all done regularly helps you continually improve.
Where I write depends on what I'm doing. If I have been touring a school far away from home and camping overnight then I will often write in McDonalds which ensures I get a chance to recharge my laptop and phone. If I am home in Kent then I really enjoy writing in libraries. Cheriton Library in Folkestone is a favourite of mine. Sometimes I can sit on the beach and write and sometimes up in the hills or a woods or in open fields. The truth is it doesn't really matter to me, I can pick a spot and write there comfortably. I have written on a bus and a train on several occasions but I cant write in cars, I get a little car sick if I do that. I came across an abandoned building in a woods once which had a flat roof and I climbed up and sat there and wrote.
If for any reason I can't write, perhaps my lap top has used up all it's charge, then I play games with things I see on my travels. Maybe an old piece of ruined building or something. I always ask myself what is the story here? Why is it ruined, who ruined it , when and why and just make something up. I select a few words I might use while I'm answering this and look to manipulate the sentences and improve my description. Then I might ask what sort of people lived there and why did they leave? The mind and imagination needs stimulus regularly if it's to be kept sharp and working imaginatively. Playing games like this really helps exercise it and it's amazing how it improves.
The rule is, if you want to be good at anything, practice, practice and practice some more. It doesn't matter if you're a writer or a footballer the need to practice is greta if you want to be at the top of your game.
Had a lovely welcome at a school in Salisbury today. It's always a pleasure going to small schools and this one only had 63 children across the year groups. The welcome you always get is warm and friendly and the close knit community is evident in abundance. Teachers too, although rushed off their feet have smiles on their faces and clearly enjoy the bond with all the children they have. It's the third smallest school I've been to so far and they didn't disappoint with their enthusiasm for the writing activities i give them. I also had a special treat of story time with reception class as well. I can't believe that they got me to sing the song version of the ugly duckling. All in good fun though. A big thanks to all at West Tytherley.
For a change the drive home didn't have speed restrictions on the motorways but still took two and a half hours to get back to Kent. The amount of time I spend driving now is huge and sometimes I spend longer on the road in a day that I do in class during the school day. I could take some time to moan about some of the stupidity I see with drivers on the motorways, virtually every day, but I don't want too spoil what was a good day, so i'll leave it. One of the things that motorways have developed over the years is a whole new environment for plants and animals alike and you never quite know what you might see. It's a way to pass the time when you're stuck in traffic jams for hours at a time.
So I have just 28 days left to decide where I am going to launch my new book and I have been thinking about doing it in America through the social media in Arizona. It's a challenge but very appropriate. Can I do it successfully, I'm not yet sure but I'll give it my best shot. Otherwise I'll have to book a few secondary schools since they are young adult books. perhaps the only other way would be to target certain groups in this country that would find the material interesting. If the story had been set in this country it wouldn't present a problem but since its not I'll use it as a learning strategy and see what I can achieve. I'm looking forward to this one, the story is strong, sensitive and has some very emotional scenes amongst the action and adventure.
Most of you know that I love walking the Romney Marsh but it's staggering how many public footpaths there are running in all directions across it. It's good fun to follow one you've just discovered across fields and dykes without knowing where you are going to end up. I tried a new one the other week which started on the military canal and ended up on the Saxon Shore way. Parts were marked well and others no so. I found one path blocked with a gate and barbed wire but it was clearly a walkway. I wasn't deterred and bypassed it. I can understand that farmers are protective towards the young animals in the fields at the moment. I followed the canal walk for some way before the path intersected the Saxon one and on impulse I followed that. It turned out to be a pleasurable walk and led to two churches, Kenardington and Warehorne, both churches are typical of those on the marsh, the doors were opened and I could just walk in and absorb the atmosphere.
One of the things I like about the Marsh churches is that they smell different from their big brothers in the towns and cities. They are full of stories and events that have unfolded over the years. Those who gave their lives in the two great wars are honoured in the villages they came from, their ages a constant reminder of how the very young sought to do their duty for their country even when not really old enough. It's the same story in the graveyards. Generations of families buried together and their engravings still readable on their stones. I am constantly surprised by how many lived into their seventies or even eighties despite the lack of treatment for ailments in those days.
There's other things too, like the links to schools in the community. I like the way that the churches celebrate the achievements of the young and display their work there. There was also work from local women's groups too, beautifully made cushions in the pews depicting some sort of fauna. It seems that every time i take a different path there is something new to discover and see and yet the landscape of the marsh doesn't ever seem to change. Different crops in field perhaps, but otherwise when you get away from the roads and lanes the sounds of our busy lives become a distant memory for a while as they are replaced with herons, marsh frogs, ducks, swans and of course the Romney Marsh Sheep. Heaven is viewed in many guises but on a lovely day the Romney Marsh is its own piece of heaven.
The publishing industry is a mess in this country and probably globally too. Every where you go to promote your book it seems that the piece of the pie they want to take from you is huge. Few publishers take on authors directly now as they cash in on the rise of celebrity authors who are already household names and will sell books on the strength of that alone. You can't blame the publishers really, they are fighting for survival along with every other business. When it comes to agents, these too vary in approach. With their hands full already few are interested in taking on more new authors and yet this is probably the best approach at the moment as they do have access to the publishing houses.
Perhaps the way forward is self-publishing but be warned that the quality of work out there is not always good. Don't sell yourself short when it comes to editing or choosing a cover design. It does matter, especially when you are trying to get shops to stock your books. Most shops will take between 35% and 40% of your retail price and will only take on a sell or return basis. It's the norm so don't fight it try and embrace it. Cut costs by buying bigger print runs, promote the hec out of your book, advertise it wherever you can, do it yourself and do it where it's free. There are plenty of unscrupulous advertisers out there that will charge the earth for their services. Social Media is still free so exploit that. Make appearances, signings wherever you get an opportunity promote, locally or further afield. Every book sold represents an opportunity for many other people to see it and the word of mouth can be your best friend.
So having said all this, you might be wondering why I've shared all of this. You can see that new authors are up against it. Well once in a blue moon, somebody offers an opportunity to promote and sell for nothing. There are still people who are prepared to help locals as they start to develop their business and I was pleasantly surprised twice this weekend.
Firstly an author friend of mine was given a chance to give a talk and sell a few books for free in a tea rooms in Dymchurch. The shop is run by a lovely lady called Mary who opened her doors one evening to whoever was interested in coming and even supplied tea for free. I don't have any reservation in promoting Mary's Tea Rooms in my blog, her cakes are amazing. Thanks for helping and wanting to support Mary, it means a lot.
The second generous offer came from Sarah and Clive at Dymchurch Chocolate shop. They too offered their support, of me this time, by allowing me to put a few books on their shelves alongside all thee amazing chocolates they have their. Again, it was a free offer and again it means a lot. Two offers of help from one village can only mean that there are some really good people in Dymchurch and is probably the reason I like the place so much.
