Will I go with Page Publishing in the future? Probably. Going forward I’ll use an independent copy editor for the “final” preprint manuscript. I have done several books and it was always excellent service, full support and great products. ![]() I have been a customer with My Publisher from the very beginning. I don’t recommend My Publisher to my worst enemies I wish I could give 0 stars for My Publisher, actually negative stars. My advice to Page Publishing is to invest in state-of-the-art proofing software that can detect possible errors and/or hire a team of copy editors and charge more to cover this cost. very, very unsatisfied and frustrated customer. As every published author knows, you’ve read your manuscript at least a dozen times, at least twice to yourself out loud, and your brain reads what it wants to read and not what’s really there in black and white. Page publishing states in their authors guide that “ will closely examine your manuscript in order to identify and correct any typographical errors, spelling errors, grammatical deficiencies, and the like.” Now in their defense they state that the author is ultimately responsible for the final version. My brother, who should be a copy editor and not a real estate broker, found several glaring grammatical/word choice errors in my published second book. Page Publishing will subject it to a computer software program, that in my opinion, rudimentarily checks for grammatical errors. I have six on my team-three of which are published authors. Lesson for new authors-you need to heed Stephen King’s advice–get a review team. They will probably read the first chapter or two just to make sure they are not publishing the floorplans of the Pentagon’s Strategic Command Center. I seriously doubt anyone at Page Publishing will read your manuscript from beginning to end. ![]() Ok, now I’ll give them a major ding on the editorial process. So, if you are already starving, you might still be alive at the end.

And this can be paid off in monthly installments. The publishing contract for a three-hundred-page book will range between $2500-$3500. But the best part about this program is the live chat feature and their customer service in general. But when one considers the steep learning curve that goes with publication and marketing, and for those debut novelists that can’t find an agent, I think it is a worthwhile investment. 1 review US good program, excellent customer service The program is like most others available online, but in my opinion the layouts are more modern/current looking with lots of options. ![]() Ok, so what does all this cost? It isn’t cheap. Page Publishing receives a small administration fee, 20-30 cents, per sale. The author can also purchase books for less than half of the retail price. Flush mount albums are definitely a high end product and not for everyday photos. If you’ve been putting off making a wedding album, this is one of the easiest ways to get it done. Amazon books, Apple iBooks, Barnes and Noble and Books A Million, will have your book listed in a manner of days. MyPublisher has been offering discounts on the design fee, so that makes it even more affordable. ![]() That one line means the world to me because it sums up my intentions perfectly.Major booksellers get your book through Ingram Content Network, the world’s largest book distribution network. “Thank you for honoring our Ancestors,” Nana Anoa Nantambu. The best review I’ve received is a single sentence from an elder in my community that I deeply admire. When I wrote the scathing review of MyPublisher I had just received and email from customer support saying that 'Subject - Let's Make a Deal - Response By (Tiffany N.) ( 12:38 PM) On your order M7547027 she had a Qty of 2. The reviews from my fellow authors meant so much to me because they took time out of their busy schedules to read my book and give meaningful feedback. At first, this was very distressing to me, even now it’s a bitter topic, but I’ve learned to turn lemons into lemonade. Thankfully I was able to get reviews from book blogger and fellow authors in my writing group. So in addition to writing, some of us are expected to do marketing, publicity and get our own reviews! I didn’t get a review from any of those agencies and in fact, my publisher didn’t get any reviews for the book pre or post-publication. Most publishers get their books in the hands of reputable reviewers like the School Library Journal, Kirkus, Booklist, etc. Reviews are so important for authors, especially for debut books. At another time I’ll write about the unprofessionalism I encountered with this publisher but for now I want to talk about reviews. Recently I was thinking about how my publisher really dropped the ball and didn’t get any reputable reviews for my book, Praline Lady.

It is one of the biggest and most popular MMORPGs which has over 10 million registered players. If you’re already hooked with the Warcraft universe, you may try playing World of Warcraft. You can get its Standard Edition but it is recommended to avail Spoilers of War Edition. You may choose to pre-purchase the game on Blizzard’s official website. The game will be released on or before December 31, 2019, for Windows and Mac. There is also an available option to toggle off all the new features of the game so you will be able to play the classic version while Blizzard also confirmed that even the mods and maps in the old version will work on the updated game without an issue. On the good side, your purchase of the 2019 version will enable you to battle through the multiplayer mode with other online players who still uses the original version of the game over. This will be your only option since Blizzard pulls out the classic version of the game from. If you’d like to play again (or for the first time) the classic version of the game, you will have to wait for the release of the 2019 version since its purchase will include the Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne expansions of the 2002 version. You can access maps created by the other online players and release your own tweaked version/s others can try out too. In addition to these, you will never get bored of this game as you can try different map and mod editors so you can create a custom game modes. This leads to better cutscenes played out in between missions. The characters’ faces also deliver strong and powerful emotions which are beautifully shown by the perfectly captured facial expressions. Character models are also updated with their new voiced dialogues, which are perfectly synced with their mouth movements. Also, you will have a nice model of the units and structures on the left-hand side. The mini-map, unit info, and item pane will no longer take up a large segment of your bottom screen. The UI will also get a complete remodeling. The game is compatible with the modern devices and totally supports hotkeys which let you jump effortlessly between groups and buildings. The biggest change this version has to offer will be the all-new graphics and animation with 4K support. In order to do that smoothly, you must lead your gathered army with the most powerful heroes you can choose from the four factions: the noble humans, the savage orcs, the mysterious night elves, and the insidious undead. The game’s objective is simple: you’ll just have to conquer and destroy your enemies’ base.

Janneman Malan will captain the Rocks squad in their first home game of the season. The Dragons will be ready to face the attack and we are looking forward to getting our campaign underway,” said van den Bergh. “Bloemfontein is a tough start as the Knights have a very strong side. Watching two tournaments on the side-lines has been difficult, but it will be important for us to start the series well. North West Dragons captain Nicky van den Bergh said “I am happy to be back at the park after a six month lay-off. ![]() “We have started a very healthy trend and culture in the team, and we will be looking to expand on that moving forward,” said Van Biljon. ![]() We will be looking to continue with the momentum we have gained in the T20 competition and to follow through in the four-day series. Pite van Biljon, who will be leading the Knights for the series, said “We have seen a huge improvement with our side in the recent CSA T20 Challenge, compared to last season. “Our red ball squad looks really good, we have a number of players who missed out of the T20 competition due to injury and will be making their way back to the squad,” said Verreynne. Western Province captain Kyle Verreynne said “It is an exciting time for us as a team to see how far we can take it this season, and I am honoured to be captaining the side for this campaign. “The expectation is always to win and that is what the squad will aim for this season,” Second concluded. We are however keen to continue with the winning form that we had in that competition last year and bring some silverware home to the Eastern Cape this season. Warriors captain Rudi Second said “We were unlucky last year as the rain that robbed us of the 4-Day title in Bloemfontein. The Warriors fell short of the title last season because of a rain-interrupted final match against ITEC Knights. The Division One teams that are in action this weekend also commented ahead of the action-packed weekend. “We pride ourselves with the standard of play we deliver in any format of the game, and our responsibility will be to continue with the momentum from our T20 campaign,” said Makhanya. “It has been a great start to the season for us, and an exciting moment to be part of,” commented Titans captain Sibonelo Makhanya.

LIke I said, I'm not really that experienced with docker and or linux, so forking it would probably be too much hassle for me. If you don't do this and you don't have a static IP address on Unraid, you can't port forward because the IP address changes. It is easier to manage ownCloud access if it is on it's own IP address.

Here's a quick breakdown of different lock types. Heavy safes with good locking mechanisms offer the most security. This also means they don’t store a ton of stuff, but they’re generally large enough to hide documents like passports and birth certificates. They’re discreet and light, making them portable for travel and moving. Usually camouflaged as books, they’re perfect for hiding valuables in plain sight. These safes ensure that your gun won’t end up in the wrong hands, and they open quickly should you need your weapon. Gun safes, such as biometric gun safes, are more secure than simply keeping a weapon on your nightstand. If you want to bolt your floor safe down, hard surfaces like concrete are best. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit in tight, hidden spaces. These safes secure to the floor for enhanced defense against thieves. If you do opt for a wall safe, make sure that it’s mounted between the studs in the wall.Ī floor safe is a great alternative to putting a hole in your wall. Wall safes can hide behind doors or portraits without taking up too much floor space. When safe shopping, consider your goal-do you want to hide heirlooms or important documents?

Lego Pirates eschews dialogue in favor of adorable details that are sure to put a smile on your face. Besides, what happens isn't as important as how it happens. In this case, the Pirates of the Caribbean films are the inspiration, including the yet-unreleased fourth installment, subtitled "On Stranger Tides." So even if you're the world's biggest Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom fan, you may not always know exactly what's going on in the last of these four included adventures, but the game does a fine enough job of giving you the gist.

The game is as colorful as a tower of Lego bricks, but unfortunately, it's not much sturdier.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's Franchise fans expect lots of Lego bits to collect and extra goodies to unlock, and Lego Pirates doesn't disappoint in this regard. Nevertheless, the joys of these games are still strong. Meanwhile, inexact platforming and respawning enemies turn the easygoing merriment into a frustrating slog. Inconsistent visual cues all too often suck out the fun, bringing the swashbuckling to a frequent standstill while you roam about figuring out what do to next. Nevertheless, it's a rare game that survives on charm alone, and Lego Pirates suffers from the same sloppiness that seeped into the recent Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is yet another delightful take on cinematic subject matter, and it's bound to get even the most jaded players to guffaw at its adorable visual storytelling. It's an elusive virtue, but developer Traveller's Tales loads its Lego games with so much of the stuff that it's as if it mines it from an endless source. |
