    Hi, Jenn! My debut came out this summer with a small press distributed by Penguin. I haven’t gotten royalty statements yet. I heard they come out in… October, I think? Does that apply even to summer releases? When should I expect to see something?
    Generally speaking, statements for the first half of the year (say, Jan-June) come in October or so, statements for the second half of the year (July-December) come in April or so. The exact timing of royalty periods and when they do their statements may vary a bit by publisher.Your publisher is *distributed* by PRH, but that doesn’t mean their royalty periods will be on the same schedule as PRH — …

    Space!!! More Factorio Space Age
    When we last left the Factory, I had just defrosted my Aquilo factory and left for a tour of the inner planets. I fixed some minor issues and used the initial Cryogenic science to unlock new technologies and discover the super-duper final planet (outside the solar system). This will require an even better ship design, so I tell my home factory to stamp out another destroyer …. I’ll modify it …

    Sports Tech & Fitness Best Deals List 2024
    I’ve organized all the best sports technology deals below in the tables by category. I’ll be updating them throughout November & December. Keep in mind not all deals last (especially over Black Friday weekend when Amazon themselves will briefly run deals beyond approved manufacturer deals). So if you see something that’s hot, I’d strongly suggest buy now (and return later if need be). With that, onto the deals! And thanks …

    Philosophical Fame, 1890-1960
    There's a fun new tool at Edhiphy. The designers pulled the full text from twelve leading philosophy journals from 1890 to 1980 and counted the occurrences of philosophers' names. (See note [1] for discussion of error rates in their method.) Back in the early 2010s, I posted several bibliometric studies of philosophers' citation or discussion rates over time, mostly based on searches of Philosopher's Index abstracts from 1940 to the …

    Seven Spectacular Second Life Sims to See -- Before It’s Too Late!

    Museum Opening of 2021: Carnavalet Paris
    The Apollo Awards have been celebrated since 1992 with fine ceremonies. It’s still as important as ever to celebrate outstand­ing ach­ieve­ments in the museum world. Yet senior museum com­m­entators warn­ed that mus­eum culture may not endure with its cur­rent sense of purp­ose; funding for both national and regional instit­utions being squeez­ed still further. Thus the awards proclaim the museums have set the standards to which others should aspire.Carnavalet ParisC16th Renaissance …
