July is here for 31 summer days (Except for those on the other side "enjoying winter"). Today our issue continues with more of our summer flavors. No responses yet to our July 4 poll. We've added MORE searches: a search for Free Kindle books (now that we have the pc app), added a search for Australian winter pictures and one search for Australian music!

Pictures are a joy to behold. The people sorting through pictures at NBC are doing a great job of selecting and reporting on what they use. Sadly, they don't always have a story to go with the picture.

CVN'S EMERGENCY SERVICE ENDS
by jdb_educator, CVN Editor

The Weekly News has served as an Emergency Notification System URL for information relating to Cybertown:
http://www.cvnweekly.50megs.com.
It will now serve other purposes, unless Cybertown magically reappears.

Our Alternate Daily location has long been (2012-2013) located at: cvnweekly.50megs.com/Cybertown/
It is now the Cybertown Daily News Archive.

Browser Use and Navigation

As we experimented browser use with HTML 5, we discovered that Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Slimbrowser work very well. Internet Explorer always asks us to run Active X script, then does a good job once that is approved. Without the Active X script running, the page reformats incorrectly. We suspect that may not be true with newer versions, but IE 8 is the latest edition we can currently use. Anyone using a different browser, we would love to hear from you about your experience browsing our pages.

We Are Recruiting Writers, Graphic Artists, Tech specialists and Collaborators!

Sure, it's a dream! We all have dreams. Everyone wants something and we are no different.

We are currently looking for all the free help we can get. Over the years, we have discovered a lot of talented people who never thought they could write, edit, or have the fun of producing web stories people would read. We offer free training and publishing opportunities.

We have always recruited. and always will. Unpaid jobs are ALWAYS available.

There is always the possibility that we will come up with a project idea that will pay, and participants in such a project would also get paid. So bring your dreams and let's chat!

See our "You Can Contact us" section for ways to get in touch. The section is located at the very top in the left column. Once you contact us, we also have Skype and a phone # for possible follow up.

We now begin our new voyage of discovery with CVN publications. The number of publication sites will expand as new writers, bloggers, and commentators join us. Each project we create or in which we are involved will have its own page linked to the indexes of our publications.

We DO need your help to spread the word to anyone interested or your friends and acquaintances who might be interested. Please Help! Send them to our new home at http://cvnweekly.50megs.com/00
