EU closely tracking Windows RT browser behavior
Home EU closely tracking Windows RT browser behavior

The European Commission's competition overseers "will remain vigilant" that Microsoft abides by an antitrust settlement involving Windows and browsers, but leaves itself plenty of wiggle room.
by Stephen Shankland
European authorities who earlier cracked down on Microsoft's browser behavior are now are keeping an eye on its upcoming Windows RT operating system — but they aren't saying yet whether they have any objections.
Mozilla last week criticized Microsoft's choice to deny browsers other than Internet Explorer privileges necessary to make what it sees as a competitive browser on Windows RT, the new version of the operating system for ARM processors. Specifically, IE gets access to deeper Win32 interfaces, but Firefox, other browsers, and any other third-party software only get access to the new and more limited WinRT interface. Google shares Mozilla's concerns about browser limits on Windows RT.
In a statement, Antoine Colombani, the spokesman for European Commission's competition work, had this to say:
The commission is aware of these allegations and will remain vigilant that Microsoft fully complies with its commitments under the commission's 2009 decision on browsers. This decision applies to Microsoft's Windows operating system for PCs.
The 2009 decision refers to a settlement between the EC and Microsoft about its Windows monopoly that required Microsoft to present a choice of browsers besides Internet Explorer.
But it's unknown what exactly the EC means by "PCs," a very loosely defined term in the industry. Colombani declined to comment on the matter.
In the United States, some legal experts think Mozilla would have a hard time making an antitrust case given the differences between Windows RT and the traditional version of Windows. In particular, Windows RT is geared more for tablet devices, though the fact that Office 15 is built in indicates that Microsoft envisions them as personal computers, too. The U.S. antitrust case against Microsoft from the 1990s involved competition for operating systems for PCs using x86 chips. (At the time, Macs used PowerPC processors, though today they use Intel's x86 chips.)
If a Windows RT counts as a PC because, well, it's a personal computing device, then the EC could trigger changes at Microsoft. If it's referring to a narrower definition — machines using x86 chips, for example, or more traditional laptops and desktop using a physical keyboard and mouse — Microsoft could be off the hook.
The U.S. Senate's antitrust subcommittee also is looking into the Windows RT browser situation.
With Windows 8 and Windows RT, Microsoft is introducing a new user interface called Metro that also appears on its present Windows Phone 7 and 7.5 devices. Metro apps tap into the WinRT application programming interface (API). On Windows 8, running on x86 machines, though, "classic" apps can also use the older Win32 interface, which ensures that the vast catalog of Windows software available today will run on Windows 8, too.
In classic mode on Windows 8, nothing change for Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, or other browsers.
In Metro mode, Microsoft made an exception for browser rivals on Windows 8. Initially, when using a browser with the Metro interface, only IE had access to the Win32 API. Microsoft accommodated other browsers, though, letting them use the Win32 API when running on Metro as long as they're set as the default browser.

3 Online Marketing Tips for Small BusinessGoogle said to bring Android to multiple mobile-device makers


Here's this years gift for the teacher. It's just a simple notebook with a ribbon bookmark. (Aaron's teacher commented earlier in the year that she really loved his bookmark, so I filed that piece of information away until now!) Hopefully they all enjoy the gift!
These bookmarks are now available for purchase at my online store.
What a greta idea. thank you!
Are the larger buttons functional, or are the smaller buttons all that holds them together?
I just used 2 different buttons because I liked how it looked, but actually the only thing that having multiple buttons does for you is allows you to use your bookmark for different size books.

Frank Comments About King George V As Written By a Digger From Narooma
Shire-wide news extracts from the Moruya Examiner of 18 November 1916, provided by the Moruya & District Historical Society:
OUR BOYS – The following is a letter received by Mrs. Jas. O'Connor, of the 7th Field Artillery Brigade. –
Lark Hill
Salisbury Plains
Sept. 27th 1916
Mum Dearest, – Like so many of my letters of late, this will also a bit hurried and short. For the past two days we have been rising at 5 a.m. to train for a very great event in our lives that passed off splendidly today, despite very unfavorable climatic conditions.
Well, Mum, I guess you think it about time that I told you what the event was. Well it was nothing less than being reviewed by the King. Did you ever think, Mum, that your son, born in far distant, but nevertheless beautiful Narooma, would have the honor of seeing and being inspected by the King of England, that worthy gentleman who we have come so far to assist in this the hour of his and his country's need?
Well, Mum, today about 30,000 Australians were reviewed by him, which is the first and biggest event of its kind (as it was composed of Australians only). At 10 a.m. we were lined up for inspection and at 11 a.m. the King arrived on horseback accompanied by about 30 other gentlemen, all Lords and knights of England. After the Royal Salute was given we were inspected and many were the complimentary remarks passed.
Firstly with his Gracious Majesty's consent we will have a few remarks about his personal appearance. Standing only about 5ft 2ins. high he has a very pinched and unhealthy facial expression. I am told that he suffers acutely from indigestion, which no doubt, accounts for his appearance. He wears a moustache and half-matured beard of a ginger hue, which to my mind doesn't enhance his appearance any.
He was mounted on a fine black horse, which was presented to him by the Queensland Government some time ago, and was worth about 4000 guineas.

Not a hunter was happy cause' no deer had been taken.
In hopes that some big bucks soon would be there.
While visions of jerky swirled in our heads.
I sprang from my bunk and fell down the ladder.
But a miniature sleigh and eight huge, trophy reindeer.
And they soon filled the windows to stare at the sled.
As their huge antlers gleamed in the light of the moon.
And what in tarnation are they doin' out here?
I had to work fast before the shootin' begun.
And fired several rounds over their heads.
"That should do it" I thought, "That should chase them away"
But it scared them so badly they tipped over the sleigh.
Certain there'd be shootin' and the deer would be dead.
And pointed at something bright in the sky.
That we all stood there awestruck, solemn and quiet.
And nothing was hurt that night but our pride.
For St. Nick to escape with his reindeer and sleigh.
"Rudolph you blockhead, what were you thinking?
"Of all the stupid places to land, in a deer hunting camp? Duhhh!
"Seriously, if you try that again, I'll personally hang your head in my workshop, bright red nose and all!"
Merry Christmas from Steve and Joyce at "Exploring Kansas Outdoors."

Trivia / The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Narm
For the film
Content Leak: One of the victims of the 2014 Sony Pictures hack, though as the film had already been released, the leak only detailed information on some of the background drama behind the scenes.
Creator Backlash:
Andrew Garfield stated that he felt that the amount of Executive Meddling that was applied ultimately hurt the final product , and that the removal of several subplots (such as further exploring Peter's life without his parents or his uncle) in favor of others left a negative impact on the movie. Still, he did say that he still enjoyed working on the movie, and that he did like Kurtzman and Orci's original script prior to the studio making several major changes to it.
James Horner, the composer of the first film, disliked the script to this movie so much that he refused to serve as a composer to this movie. One point in particular that turned him off from the project was the death of Gwen after much of the movie was dedicated to her romance with Peter. Like Garfield, he criticized Sony's Executive Meddling over letting Marc Webb tell his own story.
Alan Fine, Marvel Entertainment's president, claimed that he "wanted to burn the [script's] draft after reading it" in a leaked e-mail - the draft which seems to have been the basis for the final film.
The Danza:
Almost. Felicity Jones plays Felicia Hardy. And one of Felicia's comic aliases is Felicity...
A Throw It In! example. Jorge Vega plays Jorge, because the child actor was having trouble responding to instructions with other names.
Deleted Role: Shailene Woodley was cast as Mary Jane Watson, and even filmed scenes. Her role was ultimately cut from the film because the filmmakers felt there were too many characters and wanted to streamline the film, whilst also providing greater focus on the Peter/Gwen relationship. The producers of the film have since said that the footage will not likely be included on the DVD, given that it apparently didn't make any sense in any cut of the movie. Shailene herself commented on it after the movie came out, saying she shot about five minutes worth of scenes and that she was thankful it was being cut - if they were gonna introduce Mary Jane, they couldn't just toss her in awkwardly.
Disowned Adaptation: Frayda Kafka , a friend of J.M. DeMatteis and his inspiration for the character of Ashley Kafka, despises the movie character's Adaptational Villainy and Gender Flip.
Executive Meddling:
The reason why the X-Men: Days of Future Past footage was in The Stinger of the theatrical release of the movie — check the main page for more details.
Kaz Hirai (Sony's CEO at the time) apparently had a hand in the editing process of the film, in spite of his limited experience with editing in general.
There were a ton of changes made to the movie's script, as detailed under "What Could Have Been". It's been rumored that said changes were done to appeal to the studio instead of being for story purposes.
Fake American: Besides Andrew Garfield, there's also the British Felicity Jones as the American Felicia Hardy.
Fan Nickname: The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Electro Boogaloo.
Follow the Leader: A pretty blatant one for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It didn't pan out as planned.
Franchise Killer: While the movie did make money, it fell far below Sony's expectations, and the more polarized critical reception definitely left its mark. The idea of setting up a shared universe (which was started with this film, as the first film was very much a standalone story) that mainly consisted of Villain-centric stories was met with criticism, considering that reception to the main franchise wasn't positive enough to warrant interest in expanding to other characters, let alone villains. Sony and Disney instead teamed up to have Spidey debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: Civil War, before starring in his own movies that are made with the involvement of both Sony and Marvel Studios, while the story arc that this series was attempting to tell was shut down prematurely.
I Knew It!:
A dark example. Promptly after it was announced that Mary Jane Watson's scenes were going to be cut from the movie, fans began speculating that Gwen Stacy dying had something to do with this. Lo and behold, they were right.
Many fans had begun to correctly speculate the same thing after footage and set photos were shown of Emma Stone wearing Gwen's outfit from The Night Gwen Stacy Died.
Ignored Expert: A meta example. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige offered notes that many people stated would've actually improved the movie. He went mostly unacknowledged, although a few of his tweaks were used. Marvel Entertainment's president Alan Fine had even worse luck, as he predicted almost every single one of the major problems that people had with the movie — and none of his warnings were heeded.
Lying Creator: Marc Webb stated in an interview that Rhino built his own armor, which was supported by all the Russian stickers and emblems on it. In the movie the Russian markings are removed and it was built by Oscorp.
Market-Based Title: The film was released as The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Le Destin d'un Héros (The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Destiny of a Hero) in France.
Missing Trailer Scene: The scene where Harry informs Peter that Oscorp has been monitoring him was cut, as were the scenes of Gwen visiting Aunt May while looking for Peter, Peter sitting on a building, and Norman's remark that "We have plans for you, Peter Parker...". The scene with the Man In the Shadows walking past the Oscorp equipment was also altered, with the Venom symbiote being replaced with Rhino's armour.
The Other Darrin: In reaction to both Andrew Garfield's statements in Creator Backlash above and Garfield snubbing Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai at a 2014 FIFA World Cup after party in Brazil, Sony was considering replacing him a-la Michael Keaton. It didn't pan out. Not that Spidey didn't get a new actor anyway.
Promoted Fanboy: Paul Giamatti stated a desire to play the Rhino when he was younger. This movie gave him his wish.
Stillborn Franchise: Although the movie is a sequel, it qualifies for the trope since was meant to be the launchpad to a Spider-Man Cinematic Universe - one with 13 other movies in development set for release before 2020. That changed when the movie didn't meet Sony's financial expectations, the writers found themselves limited by not having access to a lot of content from the Marvel Universe to work with, and when Marvel Studios outright offered them a better deal that cost them absolutely nothing to carry out. While it appears as though Sony will still continue to go forward with making tons of Spider-Man movies and spinoffs (albeit at a more reasonable pace), it will now be done inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe instead of one limited to just Spider-Man. The long-term story arc revolving around Oscorp, Peter's parents, and the Sinister Six was also abandoned completely; the next version of Spider-Man has nothing to do with this version.
Throw It In!: According to the commentary, Gwen yelling "PETER!" when Spider-Man webs up her to the hood of the police car and her subsequent Oh, Crap! expression weren't in the script, but they decided to keep it in.
What Could Have Been:
Sam Claflin, Eddie Redmayne, Alden Ehrenreich, Douglas Booth, and Boyd Holbrook screen-tested for the role of Harry Osborn before Dane DeHaan was cast. Ehrenreich previously auditioned for Peter Parker in the first movie.
Michael B. Jordan also auditioned for Harry Osborn with Andrew Garfield actually recommending him appearing in the movie as a male Mary Jane Watson. We're not joking.
Damian Lewis, Mads Mikkelsen, and Jean Dujardin were considered for the part of Electro before the casting of Jamie Foxx.
Among the shelf of Oscorp inventions, the Venom symbiote was supposed to appear in the Rhino armor's place, according to trailers and test screenings.
According to test screenings, The Stinger revealed that Norman Osborn's head was placed in cryogenics - and while there's no evidence that this scene isn't canon, it still didn't make it into the movie. In addition, there is evidence that the scene where the Gentleman walks by Doctor Octopus's arms and Vulture's wings and also sets up the formation of the Sinister Six was supposed to be The Stinger, but it was edited into the film proper - most likely so the Days Of Future Past footage could fit in.
The original script would've treated the immediate aftermath of Gwen's death in a much closer manner to the original comics. Harry would've started laughing and taunting Peter, resulting in Peter snapping and beating the hell out of Harry. The ending was changed from that of the comics, however, with Harry being turned in by Peter instead of dying (as had happened to Norman Osborn's Goblin).
Felicia's role was also cut down for time, and she originally would have been Harry's out and out girlfriend - which Felicity Jones alluded to in an interview. One scene implying a romantic attraction between Harry and Felicia remains in the film.
Several notable changes were made to the film's script.
As mentioned above, Mary Jane was going to be in the movie - her role was going to have her introduced as a minor character who lived nearby Peter's home, having to deal with her abusive father. The plotline would have involved Peter showing up as Spider-Man, webbing her father up, and telling him off before leaving him hung up. A scene involving Mary Jane and Gwen having a conversation about romance was also planned, which would have served as connective tissue for future installments.
Max Dillon's character was going to have been explored to a greater length, such as the character having a seemingly-wheelchair-bound mother apathetic to the apparent death of her son, not to mention that she ignores his birthday.
Doctor Kafka was originally written as a woman, like the character in the comics, instead of as a man. It's also likely that the character wouldn't have suffered from Adaptational Villainy, given that Electro originally escaped from Ravencroft on his own and that there was apparently no torture involved (or at least, Kafka wouldn't have authorized it).
A year-long Time Skip was planned to occur between Peter's graduation and Harry Osborn's return to the United States, which also would have given Peter and Gwen a greater amount of time to re-evaluate their relationship after breaking up.
Doctor Ratha, who had mysteriously disappeared after the Lizard's first appearance, was originally going to have a role in the movie. The plot point was apparently trashed completely if The Daily Bugle Tumblr is to be believed, as it stated that Ratha's body had been found in the sewers. His role was replaced entirely by Suspiciously Similar Substitute, CEO Menken.
Spider-Man originally decided to save Harry Osborn's life with a blood transfusion at Harry's second request rather than to refuse to do so twice. This still would have turned him into the Green Goblin, of course. The Green Goblin's suit was actually given an explanation in that it was meant to sustain Norman Osborn's life, but also contained a small arsenal for his use - complete with pumpkin bombs and the glider - and the suit would have been found within Norman's boathouse instead of within Oscorp. In addition, Electro originally was going to try to kill Harry, but Electro saw potential in the Green Goblin and formed an Enemy Mine to take down Oscorp.
J. Jonah Jameson was actually going to appear in the film, alongside Robbie Robertson. Spider-Man and Electro were originally going to crash into the building during one of their battles, much to Jameson's disdain.
The kid that Spider-Man helps at the beginning and end of the movie was not written into the original script. In addition, the Rhino's screentime was supposed to be even more limited than it was in the final film - and the truck heist at the beginning wasn't supposed to have featured Aleksei Sytsevich, but a typical thug.
Gwen Stacy wasn't originally going to die instantaneously, as she originally suffered from severe back injuries instead of a Neck Snap. She was also meant to have a Final Speech where she told Peter not to give up.
The last few minutes of the film were also going to be radically different: instead of listening to Gwen's graduation speech, Peter is encouraged to become Spider-Man once more by his father, who had been revealed to have been alive. He reveals that he'd been watching Peter from afar, and that he's proud of his son for the courage he's displayed as Spider-Man, and tells him "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility". It was Marc Webb who vetoed this, as they couldn't undermine Gwen's death by following it up with the reveal that Richard Parker was still alive, and it would also undermine Peter by having him struggle to move past Gwen's death only for his father to return and fix everything. However, the scene was shot and can be seen on the DVD and Blu-Ray releases.
The scene with Harry locked up in Ravencroft after Gwen's death wasn't in the original script. It was added after it was realized that Harry wasn't seen again after Gwen's death and the viewer would be left questioning if Harry had died or simply escaped.
For the game
Fandom Nod: Spider-Man notes how bad of a name "Shocker" really is.
Franchise Killer: For Activision's run on the Marvel license as a whole. It was already on shaky grounds befofehand, but not counting the later remaster of the Deadpool game, this was the last new game made. Rather tellingly, it took more than four years for there to be another major Spider-Man game, and Activision has nothing to do with it.
The Other Darrin: As before, none of the actors from the movie reprise their roles for the game. Furthermore, Sumalee Montano replaces Claudia Black as Whitney Chang.

Why Meta Platforms Stock (NASDAQ:META) Won't Recover This Year
January 17, 2023 bybestbit Metaverse Comments Off on Why Meta Platforms Stock (NASDAQ:META) Won't Recover This Year
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock struggled last year, but it likely won't recover this year. Its steep decline was largely attributed to poor results from its latest earnings report, raising questions about its near-term future. Compounding the situation is its maverick CEO Mark Zuckerberg's fixation on the metaverse, which could potentially hamper the company's ability to effectively address the weaknesses highlighted in its financial statements. Unfortunately, investors face an uphill battle with META stock. Therefore our position on the stock hasn't changed from a few months ago, and we remain bearish on META stock's prospects.
On top of the already tight economic conditions, Meta had to confront many restrictive headwinds that weighed down its results. Moreover, the advertising market was remarkably weak amid numerous economic challenges. Moreover, the current macroeconomic environment, rife with high inflation and ever-increasing interest rates, contributed to an overall sluggish outlook for most companies and allowed very little room for them to grow.
Meta's metaverse ambitions continue to burn through its cash reserves at an alarming rate. Furthermore, the company's social media platforms have grown to a point where it's incredibly difficult to attract new users. Also, most investors dislike Zuckerberg's pivot to the metaverse and the massive spending that came with it.
The Metaverse Disaster
Despite the massive potential of the metaverse, 2022 was an overwhelmingly disappointing year for the nascent market. Meta just hasn't been able to chalk out a fresh identity, as discussed by my colleague Joshua Enomoto in his article from a few months ago. The business had a less-than-ideal 2022, which saw it suffer through some rough quarters due to slow ad sales and increased expenditures.
While potential cost-saving measures should be of paramount importance to any business, it's hard not to be alarmed by the amount of money that Zuckerberg is investing in Reality Labs ($9.4 billion in the first three quarters of 2022), and the spending is likely to continue. Seeing how much funding has already been poured into this project, with seemingly little regard for long-term viability, is concerning.
Meta will continue pumping more money into the metaverse project at the cost of its bottom line. The metaverse project is likely to be the next big growth catalyst for the firm and could add millions, if not billions, in new revenues down the road. However, for now, it's burning a hole through Meta's proverbial pockets at an accelerated pace.
Is META Stock a Buy, According to Analysts?
Turning to Wall Street, META stock maintains a Moderate Buy consensus rating. Out of 39 total analyst ratings, 29 Buys, seven Holds, and three Sell ratings were assigned over the past three months. The average META stock price target is $147.74, implying 7.86% upside potential. Analyst price targets range from a low of $80 per share to a high of $260 per share.
Meta's spending has largely been out of control, impacting its net income, cash flow, and margins. Moreover, its core business continues to suffer as economic conditions worsen. Despite many people believing that the idea of the metaverse is dead, there are still those who remain bullish on its future. However, investors expecting a return within certain time frames on their investments may need to revise their expectations and push their horizons out even further before seeing any real progress in the industry.
Also, the economic environment has gone from bad to worse, with monetary tightening processes reducing the stock market's attractiveness. The risk-to-reward ratio appears too unfavorable for META stock right now. Therefore, it may be best to avoid META at this time.

Oslo on Tuesday pointed a finger squarely at Russia, accusing it of jamming GPS signals in Norway's Far North when it hosted NATO's massive exercises in October and early November.
"We know that jamming was observed between October 19 and November 7, originating from Russian ground forces in (the) Kola" peninsula, a region of northwestern Russia close to Norway, the Norwegian defence ministry said.
"We are following the situation closely, together with the authorities concerned," the ministry added in an email to AFP, confirming reports by Norwegian news agency NTB.
On Sunday, Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila had said the "almost certainly deliberate" disruption of GPS signals across Lapland had put civil aviation in the region at risk.
He had suggested Moscow could be responsible, saying it was "possible" it was involved.
Russia on Monday denied the allegation, calling it "baseless".
The jamming coincided with Trident Juncture 18, NATO's biggest military exercises since the end of the Cold War, held several hundred kilometres (miles) from Norway's border with Russia from October 25 to November 7.
Prior to the manoeuvres, Russia had vowed to "retaliate", calling the exercises "anti-Russian".
The satellite disruption led to Finnish and Norwegian civil airspace operators issuing official warnings to pilots that navigation signals in northeast Lapland were unstable.
In September 2017, Norwegian authorities reported jammed GPS signals affecting civil flights in the north of the country during Russia's large Zapad military exercise.
"The foreign ministry has on several occasions in the past raised the question with Russian authorities," the defence ministry said.

About

Me

Hey, what's up? It's good to see you. I'm Cole.

I spend a lot of time developing software. I mostly work in Python and Javascript, and like to mess around in Lisp. I like using Emacs for pretty much everything.

I care a lot about architecture, development process, and user experience. Stylistically, I tend toward minimalism.

I like to play guitar, read / watch sci-fi and horror, and cook when I have the time to do so. I mostly run on tofu, avocados, and chiles, and I'm a beer and coffee freak. I'm big into board games and pen-and-paper RPGs, so hit me up if you've got a set of n-hedral dice.

If you want to collab on anything or hire me, check out my stuff and say hey. If you want to be shady about it, here's my PGP key.

This Site

This site was a lot of fun to build. I wouldn't call it "rolled from scratch," but it was definitely assembled with love. It's mostly built from a motley assortment of frameworks and plugins.

The secret sauce that holds everything together on the back-end is Python and the excellent Flask framework. I cannot emphasize how much I like both of them. What little data there is to store is crammed into a SQLite database. You can check out the slew of other extensions in the requirements file.

What you're seeing right now is mostly a result of my futzing around with stylesheets. Pure brought some order all up in this chaos. The super-neat menu uses Headroom for stickiness. The icons are provided by Elusive. The title font is Bebas Neue, and it is my favorite. The overall look and feel was suggested by a pretty neat designer that I like a lot.

The server is hosted by DigitalOcean. It's running Debian, and the site is chugging along with nginx and uWSGI. Provisioning and deployment is automated with Ansible. The domain is registered with Gandi.

If you notice any bugs or have any suggestions for improvement, let me know.

Huddersfield honour season ticket pledge
Dean Hoyle is pictured with jubilant Huddersfield fans at Wembley
June 23 2017 13:21 PM
Huddersfield chairman Dean Hoyle has honoured his pledge to enable thousands of fans to watch the club's Premier League home games for little more than a fiver next season.
https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/huddersfield-honour-season-ticket-pledge-35858659.html
https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/1c188/35858658.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/PANews_P-810619b1-288b-4520-9744-c1de07d5cf62_I1.jpg
Terriers owner Hoyle promised in 2010 that all fans who had held season cards throughout his time as chairman would pay £100 for their season card if the club reached the Premier League.
David Wagner steered the Terriers back to the top flight for the first time in 45 years following their penalty shoot-out win in last month's Sky Bet Championship play-off final.
"Over 4,000 Town fans who have had season cards for the entirety of Dean Hoyle's tenure as chairman will receive mail from the club this week," Town said on their official website.
"The Town chairman made a Premier Pledge back in 2010; that season cards for fans who had a season card in every year of his time as chairman would be £100 if the club reached the Premier League.
"This week, that pledge has been rolled out, with the 4,000-plus eligible fans receiving mail in the post."
The club said fans who qualified would receive three options - to receive a £99 refund on their 2017-18 season card, which cost £199 for adults, or to receive a voucher worth £110 to spend in the club's shops, or donate their £99 refund to the Town Foundation charity, with Hoyle adding an extra £26 donation to top it up.
"Eligible Town fans will also receive a special memento from the club to thank them for their continued support," the club added.
Town's play-off final win against Reading at Wembley saw them promoted to the Premier League for the first time as they were relegated from the old First Division in 1972.


I got the demo, but then I tried to buy the full game, both in-game and through the PC Steam store, but every time I put it in my cart, it says i already own the game and won't let me purchase it. I can only purchase it as a gift for someone else. I tried uninstalling and that didn't help.
A moderator of this forum has marked a post as the answer to the topic above.
We are experiencing a technical issue due to the change to pay mode (instead of free 2 play).
It should be fixed by steam in the next few hours.
Meanwhile if you want to buy the full version, you just need to deleted the F2P version before from your steam library.
To do this, go to https://help.steampowered.com/, find VR Paradise (Free-to-Play) game, then select "I want to permanently remove this game from my account"
Once it's done, you will be able to buy VR Paradise paid version.
@stephane.totem: Can you help @VRGalaxy out?
There was a recent change from "free to play" with DLC to simple up front purchase model. This may be related to that.
I'm sure the team will be able to sort it for you. Sorry for the inconvenience.
In the meantime, please check the FAQ for possible solutions.
Specifically, if you are using Steam beta, please switch it off. And also be sure you have updated to the latest version.
The VIP membership is no longer available in game. All purchases are via Steam store.
Yeah, the store said "free to play" and so i got that, but then when i went to upgrade, it wouldn't let me. It said that i already own the game and that i can't get it twice. Must be some error. I tried a bunch of different times on PC and in VR.
Ahh, I must have encountered an older version of it, then. How do I check to see if Steam beta is on?
The instructions are for turning it ON, but you will need to turn it OFF in the same way.
Generally, you would know if you have changed this setting, as it is OFF by default.
As for the purchase not working, I will defer to the team. Looking at the store page, I think it may be set up wrong. Normally, you would need a different Steam page / product for the free and paid options.
I know the team are in the process of separating the two, so perhaps this is the problem for you.
When I reopened the game after purchasing VIP it didnt allow to get the dances, any idea why?
I checked and I am not currently running the Steam Beta.
As for the Steam page, yes, I think it's set up wrong, because both "Free to play" and "buy" are options on the same, one page. They have a DLC page, but when I go to it, there's no purchase option.
@VRGalaxy: You are correct. Steam has made an error in the configuration. The team has raised a ticket. Resolution should be coming soon. Sorry again for inconvenience.
@Lightsky: We are currently experiencing difficulties on account of a Steam store misconfiguration. The team has raised a suitable ticket for resolution, and hope to have this resolved soon. We will advise when the issue has been resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience.
@Crapcha: Sorry for the inconvenience. The team is working on it right now. This is due to a change in the Steam configuration. Rest assured, your valid purchase will be honoured.
Ghostly Blue Legs and Black Thigh High Leggings with a Belt Buckle in the Private Dance and Table Dance. No cash to flash.
Are you guys running out of ideas ?

Hybrid Cloud: The Drivers and Benefits
Steve Denby
Head of Sales Enablement
Most businesses today are operating on hybrid cloud models, but let's take a moment to ask the question 'why?'. What are the drivers and benefits of hybrid cloud, and is it a model that you should continue investing in?
To truly understand hybrid cloud or multi-cloud, as it's sometimes called, we have to understand the world we're now living in. Below are some of the circumstances that have driven businesses to rethink their IT models and turn to hybrid cloud.
Business are using a range of applications to serve customers
Today, businesses use multiple SaaS applications. In many cases, they're leveraging applications with open APIs that are linking together to form virtual application suites. So there's information flowing backwards and forwards between multiple applications from different vendors. Often these applications are not in any kind of commercial relationship with each other, but are brought together to serve customers.
Various sectors require fast access to data, to speed up services
Simultaneously, we're seeing the rise of edge computing, where there's a need for data to be closer to the user. Another example is the Internet of Things, whether it be smart homes, roads, factories or cities. Certain data from IoT devices must be analysed at speed, which means businesses must do the analytics closer to the data source.
Legacy applications must work in conjunction with modern applications
We've also got older applications and data in legacy databases, which must coexist with newer application suites. Remote workers have rapidly adopted mobile working technologies, with some of the newer applications allowing better commu
nication and exchange of data. So how can these more modern applications co-exist alongside legacy applications, in a way that makes the user experience seamless?
As IT has become more complex, and user and customer demands have changed, businesses have had to adapt. The answer for many has been to hybridise their consumption and jointly manage all their applications in one stack.
Now we understand a little bit more about what's driving change, what does hybrid cloud technology enable you to do? What are the benefits of adopting this approach?
Free Download: A Guide to Progressing Your Cloud First Strategy
Our recent research on mid-market IT priorities shows that almost all organisations now have some element of their IT operations in the cloud.
Linking legacy applications to newer modern applications
Businesses are now taking older database technologies and applications, and running them in legacy cloud-based solutions in Infrastructure as a Service. Meanwhile, the new world is being built in a hybrid manner, on hyperscaler Platform as a Service models.
These models leverage things like Kubernetes and containers, which allow businesses to write micro-services that run as tiny applications. Modern and legacy applications are glued together, typically by writing APIs between micro-services and then gatewaying them on to older applications. This technical benefit leads to an even greater business benefit…
Providing faster, more modern services to customers
With legacy and new applications working together, your business can move faster. You can develop features and benefits that meet the demands of customers, and give you the edge over competitors. Lifting an old application out of the way can be costly and disruptive. Hybrid cloud allows you to hold off from that expensive, complex IT project, while still developing into the modern world.
Seeing long-term ROI
If you start out with a business outcome, hybrid cloud can enable you to achieve it in a cost-effective way. Migrating to different cloud services is not, in itself, going to save you money. It will, however, enable you to develop new services. This could be a new e-commerce site or an application that allows arm's length customer transactions from mobile devices.
These kinds of services can be developed using modern architecture, alongside your existing architecture. So you can do more, without having to invest in a huge overhaul of your infrastructure. You get the most out of your spend, and from the front-end, your customer gets a fantastic experience.
So is hybrid cloud here to
stay; is it a model that you should be investing in? If you're a business that wants to deliver more modern services to customers, while managing costs - then yes.

Two disclaimers: First, I'm not a Bible scholar. Let's get that out of the way right now. I'm not especially high, nor especially low, in the church. I'm a layman, and thus what follows are merely the opinions of a layman. Please take it as such. Consider what you read to be my impressions, and feel free to draw your own conclusions. Second, I'm blogging from a mobile platform, and this is causing some wonky formatting issues. I hope to have this resolved soon. Don't let this detract from your enjoyment of the piece.
In my mind, Mary–when we meet her–is just an average ancient middle eastern girl. She knows the score about jwhere babies come from, but takes the angel at his word. The circumstances rather compel it. I don't know about you, but I don't think an angel has ever appeared to me asking me to carry out a special mission from God. I imagine if one did, my response would be much the same as Mary's: "let it be to me as you have said." Is that faith, or resignation? Or merely acceptance of fact? Mary didn't pick the mission–God did. So whether she believed it, or not, she was chosen. To my mind, this was a mighty tall order for a 13, or 14, year-old girl. I don't know about you, but personally I've never been called on to give birth to the Messiah.
Like our own lives, Mary's was filled with highs and lows. She goes from the high of being chosen by God to the low of being sent away to the Zechariah and Elizabeth Crisis Pregnancy Center. From the high of the Magnificat to the low of almost being put away by Joseph. Interestingly, despite the difficult travel conditions (as a man I can't really wrap my mind around what it's like to be pregnant)–from Nazareth to Bethlehem on donkeyback over dirt tracks–there is no faith-affirming visit from a heavenly messenger. No, after being told there's no room in the inn, after giving birth in a stable, and laying her new son in a manger, no angels appear to either Mary, or Joseph. No–they appear to the shepherds, who are watching by night. While the shepherds are enjoying the show, Mary is suckling the babe, trying to recover from childbirth, and changing the first of many diapers. The only further affirmation Mary and Joseph get of their unique mission at this point is from some smelly field hands, coming to worship their baby. (Insofar as we know, the only other time God sent an angelic messenger was in Joseph's dream–warning him to take his family to Egypt). The shepherds depart.
The next we see Mary and Joseph, they are presenting their son at the temple as proscribed by law. Here they encounter both Simeon and Anna, who both seemed to have had promises from God about the coming of Messiah. What does the text say of Mary? That she "pondered these things in her heart." What's to ponder? The angel appeared to her, she knew the score. Both Simeon, and Anna, gave powerful "messages." I suspect the sheer busyness of life interfered some. Imagine with me for a moment: you are a new wife, new parent, and still just a teenager. Like we would be, I suspect Mary felt a tad overwhelmed at the turn her life had taken. And it only got busier from there.
Roughly two years later, the wise men appear at their doorstep, offering gifts, and worship, to their toddler. How odd this must have seemed. Then almost immediately following, they had to pack it up for Egypt–barely escaping Herod's purge. Had they had any other children at this point? We don't know. Moving is bad enough in our modern era–I can't imagine the logistics of what their move entailed even with just one child in that day and age.
So they sojourned in Egypt for a couple of years. I imagine–though we aren't told such–that when they returned to Israel, and settled in Nazareth, it was with a larger family.
The next peek into their quotidian lives occurs when Jesus was twelve, and they–along with extended family–traveled to Jerusalem for Passover. The holiday is celebrated, they pack up and leave, assume Jesus is with extended family, and get a day's journey out of Jerusalem. It's only then that they realize He isn't; so they return–and find Him in the temple. To paraphrase, they ask "What the heck did you think you were doing son? How could you do this to us?" Very parental questions, those. I've asked the like a time or two myself of my children. Never, however, have I been answered with (again, a paraphrase) "Yo, didn't you know I have bidness from God?" Likely, if so, I wouldn't much appreciate such a reply. Neither did Mary and Joseph: they didn't "get it." Somewhere along the way, in the midst of providing for a burgeoning family, I suspect they forgot who their eldest was. If not forgot, then maybe the sheer busyness of life pushed aside the transcendent fact that Messiah was in their midst. I think it is much the same with us.
At some point during the ensuing eighteen years–when we next see Jesus–Joseph apparently dies. Whether by accident, incident, or of old age, we don't know. But insofar as we do know, there is no report of a resurrection. The Son does not bring his stepfather back to life. How did Mary, who by this time, had enough other children that the Scriptures reference "brothers and sisters," feel? How was her faith doing? Perhaps I exaggerate a bit, but what was it like to raise the Messiah as a single parent? Let alone to be widowed in your 30s, or early 40s? I realize Scripture is scant on these details, and it may be eisegesis, but I don't think we are forbidden from speculating. (I can't imagine how I would be doing if, God forbid, I lost my wife. And then had to provide for, and raise, my kids on my own). I think it would at least be prudent to bear this context in mind as we consider Mary's next appearance in the Scriptural timeline.
The next we see Mary, she is at the wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus, who has apparently already begun His public ministry, is there with His disciples. The report comes in that they are out of wine. Mary looks to Jesus, perhaps pondering in her heart, wondering if He will do something. Is this a faith-filled request, or is she perhaps looking for a sign such that she hasn't seen since Gabriel appeared to her all those years before? Some kind of affirmation? I submit that this is possible, and thus rather than showcasing her influence as the "mother of God," this verse highlights Our Lord's tenderness towards a heartbroken woman. Despite it not being "His hour" yet, He performs the miracle anyhow, turns the water into wine. And perhaps in the process reaffirms the message Mary received those many years before. Though it was not yet His time, He did it for her sake. What do you think?

Warren offers infectious-disease plan amid China outbreak
by: WILL WEISSERT, Associated Press
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., speaks during a television news interview during a break in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, at the Capitol in Washington, Monday, Jan. 27, 2020. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has announced a plan to prevent, contain and treat infectious diseases as a new viral illness spreads in China.
The Massachusetts senator on Tuesday unveiled a plan that includes fully funding the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's pandemic prevention and response programs. The agency has faced stiff budget cuts under President Donald Trump, including to emergency funds and global health programs that were established following West Africa's Ebola epidemic in 2014.
"Like so much else, Trump's approach to keeping us safe from disease outbreaks is a mess," Warren wrote in an online post announcing the plan. "But when he's gone, we can fix it."
Warren's proposal comes as the coronavirus has killed more than 100 people in China and the city at the center of the crisis, Wuhan, remains on lockdown. The U.S. has confirmed cases in Washington state, Illinois, Southern California and Arizona.
The timing of Warren's announcement was no accident — nor is the fact that she's the candidate drawing up the proposal. During more than a year of campaigning, Warren has embraced the reputation of having "a plan" for nearly everything. She remains bunched near the top of the polls with former Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigeig, with the Iowa caucuses, which lead off primary voting, looming on Feb. 3.
Warren blamed the Trump administration for proposing "billions in cuts to the agencies responsible for fighting and preventing pandemics, a devastating blow that would put lives at risk." Not all of those reductions have been approved by Congress, though.
She also promised to push the CDC to develop vaccines against infectious diseases, including a universal immunization against the flu. But it is the National Institutes of Health that has already made a priority of developing a better flu vaccine.
Warren said she can mitigate the spread of disease by fighting climate change and moving the U.S. to a universal, government-funded health system under the "Medicare for All" program. She also wants to increase NIH funding by $100 billion.
Although such a high price tag may make it difficult to survive the appropriations process, Warren plans to help with the funding by creating a "swear jar." That would be a pot of money requiring private companies to pay some of their profits from publicly funded research back to the NIH.
Warren further promises to work with Congress to replenish funding for the Department of Health and Human Services' Public Health Emergency Fund to better respond to outbreaks and to create a Global Health Security Corps that will "ensure that we can get the right expertise to the center of an outbreak before it becomes an epidemic."
"Diseases like coronavirus remind us why we need robust international institutions, strong investments in public health, and a government that is prepared to jump into action at a moment's notice," Warren wrote. "When we prepare and effectively collaborate to address common threats that don't stop at borders, the international community can stop these diseases in their tracks."

Dieric Bouts
15th-century Dutch painter
Portrait engraving
Dieric Bouts[1] (born c. 1415 – 6 May 1475)[2] was an Early Netherlandish painter.
Very little is known about Bouts's early life, but he was greatly influenced by Jan van Eyck and by Rogier van der Weyden, under whom he may have studied. He is first documented in Leuven in 1457 and worked there until his death in 1475.
Bouts was among the first northern painters to demonstrate the use of a single vanishing point (as illustrated in his Last Supper). His work has a certain primitive stiffness of drawing, and his figures are often disproportionately long and angular, but his pictures are highly expressive, well designed and rich in colour, with especially good landscape backgrounds.
1.1 Early works (before 1464)
1.2 Documented works
1.3 Devotional panels and portraits
1.4 Other works
2 Dieric the Younger and Aelbrecht
Lamentation, c. 1460
Early works (before 1464)[edit]
Bouts's earliest work is the Triptych of the Virgin's Life in the Prado (Madrid), dated to about 1445. The Deposition Altarpiece in Granada (Capilla Real) probably also dates to this period, around 1450–1460. A dismembered canvas altarpiece—now in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (Brussels),[3] the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles),[4] National Gallery (London),[5] Norton Simon Museum (Pasadena),[6] and a Swiss private collection—with the same dimensions as the Altarpiece of the Holy Sacrament may belong to this period. The Louvre Lamentation (Pietà)[7] is another early work.
Documented works[edit]
Last Supper, 1464–1467
The Last Supper is the central panel of Altarpiece of the Holy Sacrament, commissioned from Bouts by the Leuven Confraternity of the Holy Sacrament in 1464. All of the central room's orthogonals (lines imagined to be behind and perpendicular to the picture plane that converge at a vanishing point) lead to a single vanishing point in the center of the mantelpiece above Christ's head. However the small side room has its own vanishing point, and neither it nor the vanishing point of the main room falls on the horizon of the landscape seen through the windows. The Last Supper is the second dated work (after Petrus Christus' Virgin and Child Enthroned with St. Jerome and St. Francis in Frankfurt, dated 1457) to display an understanding of Italian linear perspective.
Scholars also have noted that Bouts's Last Supper was the first Flemish panel painting to depict the Last Supper. In this central panel, Bouts did not focus on the biblical narrative itself but instead presented Christ in the role of a priest performing the consecration of the Eucharistic host from the Catholic Mass. This contrasts strongly with other Last Supper depictions, which often focused on Judas's betrayal or on Christ's comforting of John.[8] Bouts also added to the complexity of this image by including four servants (two in the window and two standing), all dressed in Flemish attire. Although once identified as the artist himself and his two sons, these servants are most likely portraits of the confraternity's members responsible for commissioning the altarpiece. The Last Supper was the central part of the altarpiece in the St. Peter's Church, Leuven.
The Altarpiece of the Holy Sacrament has four additional panels, two on each side. Because these were taken to the museums in Berlin and Munich in the 19th century, the reconstruction of the original altarpiece has been difficult. Today it is thought that the panel with Abraham and Melchizedek is above the Passover Feast on the left wing, while the Gathering of the Manna is above Elijiah and the Angel on the right wing. All of these are typological precursors to the Last Supper in the central panel.
After attaining the rank of city painter of Leuven in 1468, Bouts received a commission to paint two more works for the Town Hall. The first was an altarpiece of the Last Judgment (1468–1470), which exists today only in the two wings with the Road to Paradise and the Fall of the Damned in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lille (France), and a fragmentary Bust of Christ[9] from the central panel in the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm. After this, he turned to the larger commission for the Justice Panels[10][11] (1470–1475), which occupied him until his death in 1475. He completed one panel and began a second, both depicting the life of the 11th-century Holy Roman Emperor Otto III.[8] These pieces can now be seen in the Brussels museum. The remaining two Justice Panels were never completed.[8]
Devotional panels and portraits[edit]
Portrait of a Man (Jan van Winckele?) (1462), National Gallery, London
The Virgin and Child (c. 1465), National Gallery, London
Many of Bouts's authentic works are small devotional panels, usually of the Virgin and Child. An early example is the Davis Madonna[12] in New York (Metropolitan Museum of Art), excellent copies of which exist in the Bargello in Florence and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. This composition follows the formula of the miraculous icon of Notre-Dame-des-Grâces, which was installed in the cathedral of Cambrai (France) in 1454. The Virgin and Child in the National Gallery (London) is the largest and most ambitious of these Marian pictures. In the realm of portraiture, Bouts expanded upon the tradition established by Robert Campin, Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, and Petrus Christus. His dated 1462 Portrait of a Man[13] in the National Gallery (London) is the first instance of a sitter shown in three-quarter view before a discernible background with a glimpse of the landscape out the window. Also widely attributed to Bouts is the Portrait of a Man in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), which resembles some of the figures in the artist's late Justice Panels of 1470–1475. Other portraits associated with Bouts, such as those in Washington (National Gallery of Art) and Antwerp (Royal Museum of Fine Arts), are more problematic.
Other works[edit]
See also: Category:Paintings by Dirk Bouts
The Last Supper and Justice Panels are the only works known to be definitely done by Bouts. The remaining panels from the Last Judgment Altarpiece (datable to 1468–1470) and the Martyrdom of St. Erasmus Triptych (before 1466) are also fairly secure attributions. Aside from these, a number of other paintings have been attributed to him.
These are: Christ in the House of Simon, Christ in the House of Simon and Nativity fragment with the Virgin at Prayer in the Staatliche Museen. The triptych the Martyrdom of St. Hippolytus (Groeningemuseum), Virgin Enthroned with Four Angels (Capilla Real, Granada), and an Annunciation[14] (Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon). The National Gallery holds The Entombment, the Virgin Enthroned with St. Peter and St. Paul,[15] and The Virgin and Child.[16]
Others are Saint James the Greater[17] (Museu de Arte Sacra do Funchal, Madeira, Portugal), Ecce Agnus Dei,[18] (Alte Pinakothek), Moses before the Burning Bush[19] (Philadelphia Museum of Art), Bust of Christ (Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen), Virgin and Child[20] (National Gallery of Art, Washington), and a Resurrection in the Norton Simon Museum of Art. Two are in the Louvre – a Nativity fragment with St. Joseph and the Virgin and Child Enthroned in a Niche.[21]
Two Boutsian works in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich have perplexed art historians. One is the so-called Pearl of Brabant triptych,[22] which writers as early as 1902 tried to separate from Bouts's authentic works. Recent research seems to refute this attempt. The other is a pair of panels from an altarpiece depicting the Passion—respectively showing the Betrayal of Christ and the Resurrection. For a long time these were considered some of Bouts's earliest works, but dendrochronological evidence now places them around the time of his death in 1475. Schone's 1938 invention of a "Master of the Munich Betrayal" is a more appropriate attribution.
Dieric the Younger and Aelbrecht[edit]
Bouts was married twice and had four children. His two daughters went to convents, and his two sons became painters who carried the Bouts workshop into the mid-16th century. Little is known of the elder son, Dieric the Younger, although he appears to have continued in his father's style until his early death in 1491. The younger brother, Aelbrecht (or Albert), did likewise, but in a style that is unmistakably his own. His distinctive work propelled Boutsian imagery into the 16th century.
^ According to Karel van Mander in his Het Schilderboeck of 1604, Bouts was born in Haarlem and was mainly active in Leuven (Louvain), where he was city painter from 1468. Van Mander confused the issue by writing biographies of both "Dieric of Haarlem" and "Dieric of Leuven," although he was referring to the same artist. The similarity last names led to the confusion of Bouts with Hubrecht Stuerbout, a prominent sculptor in Leuven

Author Interview: Kalynn Bayron
Meet Kalynn Bayron, Author of Six Points of Light Hook's Origin
BBB: Tell us about yourself.
KB: name is Kalynn Bayron and I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado with my husband and our 4 kids. I grew up in Anchorage Alaska. I've always been a creative person. In addition to writing, I love music. I'm a classically trained Soprano, and my favorite opera is Donizetti's Lucia Di Lammermoor. I studied ballet for many years and was a student at the Oregon Ballet Theatre when I was younger. Six Points of Light:Hook's Origin is my debut novel and is represented by Booktrope.
BBB: What inspired your book, Six Points of Light:Hook's Origin?
KB: I love origin stories. I love understanding where fairy tale characters come from. I'm a huge fan of Gregory Maguire's Wicked, which is what sparked the idea for Six Points of Light. When I saw Once Upon a time, the television show, I knew I had to write the story of a character that I've always been curious about. They had their version of Captain Hook, but I wanted to go back to the very beginning of Captain's Hook's life. And I wanted to tell the story from his point of view with Peter Pan as a supporting character.
So many "fairy tales" have ominous undertones and I have always been fascinated by that. I like stories that don't go the way you thought they would. This is not the story of how James Cook becomes the Captain Hook we all know. It is the tale behind that flawed myth.
BBB: Tell us about your main character.
KB: My main character is James Cook. He is fifteen when we first meet him and a permanent resident of St. Catherine's orphanage. He is highly intelligent, soft spoken, and loyal to a fault. He is also quite sickly and so no one has taken the opportunity to adopt him. He is torn between his loyalty to Sister Maddie, his caretaker who loves him like a mother, and a young boy that he has taken under his wing…Peter. Over time James blossoms into a strong young man with a love of books and sailing. He faces many challenges that test his loyalties and his sanity. He is thrust into a world he didn't even believe existed and is deeply affected by a crushing betrayal on Peter's part. James struggles with his feelings of anger and resentment while trying to find a way to make a life for himself. Let's just say that things don't turn out the way he expects. In my story, the captain is not the villain we have him pegged to be. He is a complicated character with a slew of emotions that drive his actions. He is a human being who goes through so much in his young life that he cannot help but be changed by it.
BBB: What are you currently working on?
KB: I just finished the second book in the Six Points of Light series. It has taken me the better part of a year to finish the first draft and now I'm working on some revisions before I send it up to my editor. I'm also working on building my network of readers, fellow authors, and friends in the publishing world.
BBB: How can readers discover more about you and your work?
KB: I have a website www.kalynnbayron.com where you can follow my blog and get all the latest news and updates. I have a dedicated Facebook author page at www.facebook.com/kalynnbayron. I'm on Twitter @KalynnBayron and I'm on Goodreads too!
