Burlington City Council members will ask voters for a raise next March on town meeting day after passing a resolution at Monday night's meeting. It would be their first raise in 13 years, lifting their yearly pay from three thousand dollars to five thousand dollars. "Whenever you have a very small base, you get a very big percentage," Burlington City Council Chair Jane Knodell said. The raise doesn't mean much to some city residents. "I don't really know enough about it to really have an opinion on it," said Candace Chingos of Burlington. But others we spoke to said they'd support an increase. "I understand it's a big raise," Burlington resident Barbara McGrew said. "I also want people who don't have a lot of money to be able to serve on the Council." Knodell said, in the end, it's about making sure people of all economic backgrounds can afford to serve their city as a councilor. "Somebody who is working, on behalf of the public, 20 hours a week, for example, probably still wouldn't be making minimum wage at five thousand dollars (a) year," Knodell said. "We're making way under minimum wage now."

Something that some people may not know about me is that I have an addiction. No not drugs or alcohol.... it's a scarf addiction! I have so many and yet I still can't resist when I see a really beautiful one. There is a lovely duo by the name Fair Jake (how could I not love the name) and they make such pretty handmade textile accessories. My Jake even has one of their bow ties! New this spring they have added really beautiful hand dyed silk scarves and (my favourite) really soft organic cotton ones dyed in the most pleasing marbled effect. Kim and Alex came by my booth at Got Craft? this past Sunday (they were also vendors) and I noticed how co-ordinated their scarves were with my new spring jewellery line! I guess great minds think alike! So of course there were purchases made by both parties (definitely a hazard of participating in great craft shows). I will definitely be wearing this scarf quite a bit!

The Spirited 230 'Power' is a very compact design for camping style cruising with accessibility to some of the best cruising grounds by road!
This is a trailerable planing hull power cat but because of the use of a light-weight sandwich flat panel kit it is much lighter than your average production cat of this style and size. This is not only an advantage for towing and less required horsepower but also aids in general handling and usability.
The Spirited 230 enables you to get to those usually 'hard-to-get' locations without the unnecessary stress of the delivery via water which can be affected by the wrong weather conditions. Of coarse there is always a compromise, the 230's accommodation is 'compact' yet still retains a reasonable level of comfort for periods of up to 2 to 4 weeks at a time.
Being trailerable means that if the weather did turn bad during your holiday period the boat could be loaded onto the trailer and alternate accommodation could be chosen.
The Spirited 230 will be ideal for fishing offshore especially if staying overnight with the conveniences aboard. Best of all, after the holiday/fishing day out simply hose off and park in the back yard/undercover out of the way.
Access into the cockpit is via a generous swimming platform between the twin outboards. From here a convenient walkthrough transom allows you to walk directly into the cockpit. The transom is closed off with two doors when underway, as does the coaming and aft cockpit seat which hinges back into position for a more secure environment. While at anchor the walkthrough area could remain open through to the swimming platform for access to the water, dinghy etc.
Cockpit The cockpit has seating all-round including just behind the main bulkhead where there is a small table for dining/drinks etc. This area is also out of the weather when at anchor as is sheltered.
Shelter All-weather clears can be installed along the edge of the cabin roof extension over the cockpit for a very protected area. For the keen fisherman, the cabin roof extension and seating in the cockpit could be minimized for a more functional fishing area.
Interior Internally the accommodation is quite comprehensive for this sized boat. There is a functional galley and dinette area opposite in the wheelhouse with a separate helm station forward of the galley. In the forepeak there is a queen sized berth with plenty of headroom for sitting in bed. Adjacent to this is a head hidden below a seat. Large hatches and portlights into this area make it light and airy.
Decks To access the foredeck is a large bi-fold window in the centre panel of the windscreen. This allows easy access to the foredeck in complete safety as well as providing excellent ventilation to the wheelhouse.
Performance Having a light weight disposition, the Spirited 230 performs very well with smaller motors. Option 1 is 2x 40hp 4 stroke outboards which delivers cruise speeds of 20 knots with a top speed of 28 knots. The maximum horsepower for this design is 90hp per side.
Kit packages are available for this design and the options can be viewed in the Spirited 230 Kit page.
How to Order your Spirited 230?

Q: Pass to the next number in a loop in range python I am currently working to do a blackjack game, and I can't figure out how to switch to the next number in a in range loop when the player doesn't want a new card. here's the code :
import random

#cards
cartes = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,10,10,10,11 ]*4
#nombre de joueurs
nb = int(input("nombre de joueurs(max 5): "))
croupier = []
joueurs = []
x = True
random.shuffle(cartes)
for i in range(nb):
    joueurs.append([])
    joueurs[i].append(cartes[i])
    joueurs[i].append(cartes[i+nb+1])
    croupier.append(cartes[nb])
    print("main du joueur",i+1,":",joueurs[i])
print("main du croupier : [",croupier[0],", ?]")
t = True

while t:
    for a in range(nb):
        while sum(joueurs[a]) < 21:
            ask = input("Carte {} ?(oui ou non)".format(a+1))
            if ask == "oui":
                joueurs[a].append(cartes[a+nb+2])
                print(joueurs[a])
            else:
                print("Joueur",a+1,"a:",sum(joueurs[a]),"points")
                t = False
        if sum(joueurs[a]) == 21:
            print("joueur",a+1,"a BLACKJACK")
        elif sum(joueurs[a]) > 21:
            print("joueur",a+1,"a perdu")
            t = False

The part that doesn't work as I want :
while sum(joueurs[a]) < 21:
            ask = input("Carte {} ?(oui ou non)".format(a+1))
            if ask == "oui":
                joueurs[a].append(cartes[a+nb+2])
                print(joueurs[a])
            else:
                print("Joueur",a+1,"a:",sum(joueurs[a]),"points")
                t = False

How do I pass to the next number when ask == "non" ?
Thanks for your time.

A: You want to use a break statement.
while sum(joueurs[a]) < 21:
            ask = input("Carte {} ?(oui ou non)".format(a+1))
            if ask == "oui":
                joueurs[a].append(cartes[a+nb+2])
                print(joueurs[a])
            else:
                print("Joueur",a+1,"a:",sum(joueurs[a]),"points")
                t = False
                # add this
                break

I hope you are all enjoying the off season and keeping fit. This is just a heads up on four things that you and your team-mates may be interested in.
Princes Park Touch in partnership with VicHealth will be running a SWITCH (strengthening women in touch) program during May.
We will not charging our members for this program.
Most teams at PPT have inexperienced players who would benefit from this program, we alll have have friends who need to get fit, and it beats a personal trainer hands down, so please pass this on to appropriate team mates, friends, and family.
If you are not entering a team but have players who are still keen to stay involved please put them in touch with me and I´ll find them a home. This is important as are a touch community here in the inner north.
All members are welcome to attend (it is a great way of blowing out the cobwebs and a great run around), so let your players know, if they are coming though we ask they let us know so we can provide adequate coaches/referees.


Citi announced a new rewards credit card today. The new no-fee card is called the Citi Rewards+ and will offer a simple version of Citi's ThankYou rewards program, but with a couple of twists.
Citi Rewards+ will offer a sign-up bonus of 15,000 ThankYou points when card members spend $1,000 in purchases within the first three months.
Applications for the Rewards+ card will be available on January 10.
The card offers 2X ThankYou points per dollar spent at supermarkets and gas stations for the first $6,000 each year (and 1X point per dollar after that), plus 1X point on every other dollar spent. Nothing groundbreaking, but decent for a no fee card, since it earn ThankYou points.
But there's more. The card offers a unique option to earn extra points on each purchase. It will round up rewards on each purchase to the nearest 10 points. For example, a $2 purchase will earn 10 points, while a $33 purchase will earn 40 points and so on. This is an interesting option, that makes it a go to card for small purchases. I assume that any purchase under $10 should earn 10 points, even purchases less than $1. Theoretically that gives you 10X or 20X but for very small amounts.
Additionally, card holders will receive a 10% rebate on all redeemed points each year, up to a rebate of 10,000 ThankYou points.
ThankYou points earned with the Citi Rewards+ can't be transferred to Citi's 15 airline frequent flyer partners. The only exception is JetBlue. To transfer to other partners, you need one of the Citi's premium cards as well, like Premier or Prestige.
While the value of each redemption option hasn't been announced yet, Citi confirmed that each point will be worth 1¢ when redeemed for gift cards — meaning that 2,500 points are worth $25 in gift cards. Factoring in the 10% redemption rebate, points are effectively worth 1.1¢ each.
That's not the best value you can get for ThankYou points, but decent if you just need to cash out. The best option should be to transfer them to travel partners if you have Premier or Prestige, but the 10% rebate probably won't be triggered in that case.
Citi Rewards+ is an interesting card with a decent bonus, no annual fee and some unique options such as rounded up rewards and 10% rebate on redeemed points. It might not be worth signing up for it, but hopefully it will be an option to downgrade other Citi cards, once it becomes available on January 10th.

IoT Industry Scenario from the Expert's Point of View
Unlike other traditional industries, IoT is rather new. "Nevertheless, from buildings and agriculture to manufacturing and city infrastructures, IoT is changing our way of living by integrating physical "things" into a digital network where we can see them in a totally unique light," says Vivian. The IoT industry is also facing many problems, such as a general misunderstanding of its value by traditional industries, lack of technical expertise, shortfall of governance and supply chain management, etc, she further explained. On this ground, SENSORO's goal is also its strength – making IoT technologies more cost-effective, simple to deploy, easy to manage, and scalable with a user's operation.
The IoT is synonymous with prosperity. Considered the next industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, it will dramatically alter manufacturing, energy, agriculture, transportation, and other industrial sectors of the economy. It is predicted that the IoT market will reach 75.4 billion in 2025(IHS forecast).
As an essential part of the IoT ecosystem, the demand for sensors will largely increase together with the whole IoT market. Meanwhile, the standardization of IPv6 and the unprecedented consumer experience that an IoT ecosystem promises are also main drivers of this industry. "SENSORO has been and will always be playing an active role in the IoT realm by staying current with market needs, technology innovations, and driving use cases that showcase our capabilities and the value of IoT applications to industries and societies globally," asserts Vivian.
SENSORO's Futuristic Aspect
While marching towards its glorious future, SENSORO has plans to target the smart agriculture sector. The company is expecting that its technology will cover a wide range of verticals and bring more industries and people into the world of Smart Things. In the long-term, SENSORO will also be building out their own specialized end-to-end IoT packages that include end-devices, gateways, network connectivity, as well as mobile and web-based application platforms – providing further value to IoT customers and making the technology more accessible.

Notice that "bar" fragment in "foobarbaz" is unexpectedly selected, even though it hasn't been highlighted as a match before.
I wish those two features were aligned. Specifically I'd like to have "Quick Add Next Whole-Word Match" option, so it'd only select words I can already see highlighted.
Whole-word Quick Add Next is also very useful for renaming variables within a function, but currently it only works reliably when the name doesn't match substring (e.g. can't rename "i" variable, even though whole-word match would do well).
I wouldn't mind a bit of magic here too - use whole-word Quick Add if whole word is selected, and use substring if selection doesn't end on word boundaries.
Holy moly, this drives me crazy too! I would love for this to be resolved somehow. Either a separate shortcut for something like "Quick Add Next Matched" or just modify the behavior of Quick Add Next.
This is rather baffling. Unintituively, Quick Add Next behaves differently depending on the state of your selection (as not stated in the help). If you select a pattern, it will match any pattern following. If you only have your caret on your word (no selection), it will select only whole words.

                ...

Then the program some times crash at the reply = network.get(qheader), am I doing anything wrong here? I have tried qt5.4.1 and qt4.8.6, though the callstack of the crash is not exactly the same, I just wonder how correct is the above code?

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Background: Acute kidney injury occurs in one in four children admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) and its severity is independently associated with increased patient morbidity and mortality. Early prediction of acute kidney injury has the potential to improve outcomes. In smaller, single-centre trial populations, we have previously derived and validated the performance of a renal angina index, a context-driven risk stratification system, to predict severe acute kidney injury in children and adolescents. Here, we tested the predictive accuracy of this index for severe acute kidney injury in a large heterogeneous population. Methods: We did a prospective, observational study (AWARE) that recruited patients in the ICUs of 32 hospitals in nine countries across Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. All patients aged between 3 months and 25 years who were admitted to an ICU at least 48 h previously were eligible. Exclusion criteria were a history of stage 5 chronic kidney disease (ie, estimated glomerular filtration rate <15 mL>/min per 1·73m2 or on maintenance dialysis) or kidney transplantation in the preceding 90 days. Patients' medical records were reviewed to collect data up to 3 months before (serum creatinine only), daily during the first 7 days, and on day 28 after ICU admission. For the assessment of the renal angina index, we included patients from the AWARE study who had full data from the day of ICU admission, day 3, and day 28, including serum creatinine concentrations and urine output measurements. The primary outcome was the presence of severe acute kidney injury (stage 2–3 acute kidney injury, according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes [KDIGO] guidelines) on the third day after ICU admission. We compared the performance of the renal angina index with changes in serum creatinine relative to baseline for prediction of the primary outcome. A score of eight points or more on the renal angina index defined fulfilment of renal angina; serum creatinine concentration relative to baseline was calculated using maximum serum creatinine concentration in the first 12 h of ICU admission). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01987921. Findings: Between Jan 1 and Dec 31, 2014, we obtained data for 1590 patients. 286 patients (18%) had fulfilment of renal angina. At day 3, severe acute kidney injury occurred in 121 (42%) patients positive for renal angina and 247 (19%) patients negative for renal angina (relative risk [RR] 2·23, 95% CI 1·87–2.66, p<0·0001). Of 368 (23%) patients with severe acute kidney injury, more had increased use of renal replacement and increased mortality than of the 1222 (77%) patients without severe acute kidney injury (40 [11%] vs 18 [2%], p<0.0001; and 28 [8%] vs 53 [4%], p=0·01). Fulfilment of renal angina showed better prediction for severe acute kidney injury than serum creatinine greater than baseline (RR 1.61, 95% CI 1·33–1·93; p<0·0001), which was maintained on multivariate regression (independent odds ratio for fulfilment of renal angina 3·21, 95% CI 2·20–4·67 vs serum creatinine greater than baseline 0·68, 0·49–4·94). Interpretation: Earlier and better prediction of severe acute kidney injury has the potential to improve patient outcomes associated with acute kidney injury. Compared with isolated, context-free changes in serum creatinine, renal angina risk assessment improved accuracy for prediction of severe acute kidney injury in critically ill children and young people.

When I first thought of the title of today's post, I googled it. Lo and behold, it was already a title to another article.
So then I considered the title "Why I Canceled My Facebook Account." But since I had reinstated the account in order to connect my friends and family to my blog and to hopefully pull more traffic to my site, I couldn't really use that one honestly.
So "confessions" it is, because, well, that's what this is – a list of confessions. First to answer the question, "Why did I cancel my facebook account?" The simple answer is that it was destroying my marriage, my health, and my peace of mind, and erecting a wall between me and my children, friends, and family. It was seriously compromising my job performance and my time in God's Word. It wrecked my house, piled up my laundry, and grew ecoli (I'm sure!) on my kitchen counters. Sound extreme? It was. And it is. And be forewarned, by the time I am done, you are going to either feel guilty as sin and mad at me for making you feel that way, decide that Facebook isn't a problem for you and that I should have more self-control, or be fueled to make some changes yourself because you realize you are in the same boat.
On the subject of my house: what have I done for the past however many years when things pile up and begin to look too big or overwhelming for me? I have escaped to Facebook.
What about when piles of laundry are starting, and I dread the very thought of spending the next however-many hours washing, drying, and folding? Escape to Facebook.
What did I do when it was time to read my Bible, I didn't know where to start, and I didn't know what to pray? Pick up my laptop, look up Bible verses, and end up on….. Facebook.
How did it wreck my health? At night, I would sit down, take out my computer, and immediately turn on what? Facebook. To check everyone's status. To see if anyone commented on mine. To see what happened today. If nothing, then to catch up on my "Words with Friends" games. If I did that for a few minutes and then put it away, it would be one thing. But no, it would get later, and later, and later… and I would still be on there, doing really, absolutely nothing except clicking on this person and that, looking at pics, telling friends how beautiful their kids are, carrying on conversations with people I never see, etc. You know the drill. And it would continue to get later… and suddenly I was depriving myself of sleep, because the next morning I had to….
Get up for work! And I was going in to teach a classroom full of precious children everything they needed to know for the school year, and I was exhausted, and scatter-brained, and struggling like crazy to do the kind of work I so desperately WANTED to be doing but couldn't find the energy or the presence of mind to do! Hmmm… really?? How strange!
Now on to my marriage. No, I didn't pick back up with old flames, or become emotionally unfaithful, or any of that nonsense. I purposely avoided that very thing, and my husband had full access to my account and could have checked it at any time. But imagine this: imagine you are leaving at 6:30 in the morning, driving 45 minutes to work, working all day, coming home in the evening, and you walk in to your house in shambles and your wife with her computer on her lap, no supper ready, and kids running wild. Think that might cause a little tension? Imagine it's time to go to bed, you are ready to hit the sack and have some conversation with your wife (ahem!), and she says, "Ok, be right in!" Three hours later, she is climbing in after you are dead asleep. And not just once in awhile – almost every single night. Think you might feel a little neglected? Imagine sitting in the living room with your wife, watching a TV show, wanting to snuggle on the couch, or at least discuss the news, but she is engrossed in what everyone on Facebook is doing, and besides, there is a computer on her lap, and that makes it a little hard to snuggle. Think you might feel just a tad undervalued? Or maybe even invisible?
So as you can well imagine, my marriage was suffering, and I began to feel very disconnected to my husband. But I STILL wasn't making the connection.
So what did it? What finally clicked and revealed to me that I had a problem with Facebook? What finally awakened me to the fact that it was ruining my life? You can probably guess.
My kids. One day, for some reason, it occurred to me that my children had been trying for ever and ever to get my attention. And what was my typical response? "Sure – hold on." "Yes, in just a minute." "Hold on, I'm checking something." "Yes, I'll come in and tuck you in in just a minute (hour… year…. decade…)" And all the time, without even lifting my head from the computer to look at them. To see their little faces talking to me, asking for my attention. How many nights did they get that answer, go into their rooms, climb into bed and fall asleep, and mommy was so engrossed in staring at a computer screen that she didn't even bother to go in and kiss them goodnight? How many nights did I go in, realize what I had done, cry, pray over them and kiss them sound asleep… and then repeat the same behavior the next night?
Finally, one morning, I had my computer on my lap, my baby girl came into the living room and tried to get into the big chair with me, and I made her move over because she was making it hard for me to hold my computer. Suddenly, I had this strong urge to throw my computer across the room and smash it to bits. Thankfully, I didn't give in to my first instinct but took the more rational approach, which was to close the stupid thing, lay it aside, and pull my baby into my lap. I don't even remember what cartoon we watched, but I remember holding my baby girl and wanting to cry out loud at what I had been doing. And I remember how precious it was to hold her close and have her snuggle her little head into my shoulder like she used to. And when I think about all the time I wasted, it crushes me and infuriates me all at the same time and makes me more determined than ever to give my family all of me that I possibly can.
And for now, that means no Facebook. It means that, when my kids come into the room, unless I am paying bills or answering an important email, the computer goes down and my kids get my full attention. When it is bedtime, the computer is not on. We pray, we talk, we tuck in, we do hugs and kisses – every single night. And my babies are loving being loved.
It means that, when hubby turns on the TV, instead of getting all huffy and saying, "Well, you're watching TV – why shouldn't I get on the computer??" I sit next to my hubby on the couch, grab up the day's stack of second-grade papers and grade them. When I am done, I watch the news with him, regardless of the fact that television bores me. Why? Because I am WITH HIM, and we are watching TOGETHER.
Yes, I still check my email on a daily basis. Yes, I still occasionally sign on to Facebook to post to my blog or to check on my brother and his girl and my soon-to-arrive nephew :-).
And what's funny is that I don't miss it. I am glad to be rid of it and its hold on me. I am thankful that God gave me self-control over that area of my life and that He woke me up to see what I was missing.
I don't think Facebook is inherently bad. But I do think it is potentially dangerous, and I have personally watched it destroy more than one marriage. Not in unfaithfulness, but in absolute inattention to the most important people and details of life. Don't make the same mistake I made for so long, and then try to blame the problems that ensue on everything but the true source. Stop it now, before it is too late, and your kids aren't trying to get your attention anymore. Stop it now, before it's too late, and you and your spouse don't even know each other anymore. Just stop. And start enjoying real life 🙂 It is precious and fleeting, and you can never recover the time you have squandered.
Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
Grace and peace to you, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Even Mamma's can learn from their grandies! 😎 Love you.
Melanie, you are so right, here I am on the computer thinking I'll just check everything before I do my devotion. My big problem on the computer is doing the free jig saw puzzles, they can litterly waste a whole day. The key for me in the morning is to pick up my bible, get a cup of coffee, and do my devotion. Thanks for a really good article. Missing you and Clay.
I know… the games are a time-killer… and you never realize how much time has gone by! Miss you all, too. Love you!
Great testimony Melany! I think many of us have experienced something similiar at one point in our lifes and the hardest part is to admit the problem and then correcting it! I hope that others going thru similiar situation would get inspire by your testimony, I know I'm!… I'm more determine than ever not to let anything get in the way of my family! We don't get second chances.

What's Sauce for the Gribble is Gravy for the Goose by Mae Ashley
A worm of doubt has begun to creep in, to worm its wormy way toward the core, the sour apple core, of Tedworth Gribblesby. Toward the heart that beats in service to billions. Not just the heart, though, but also the hands. The hands that curve the curve, that point the point. Again and again, but now with a flutter of uncertainty.
Ted Gribblesby sees that he has an e-mail from the Journal for Unitary Nutritional Kinesthesia — presumably a decision on his latest submission. The very same alimentary research paper that has been featured on that podcast. That Quacking podcast.
Maybe those podcasters knew—somehow—that the paper was under consideration and they veered toward discussing not-yet-published research with the goal of scuttling its chances. Perhaps they even made some valid points about the substance.
It was Episode 177 that served as his initiation, that kicked off the wriggling of the worm, that insinuated itself so slyly into the Gribblesby world-view. It was Episode 177 in which Ted heard the soon-to-be-haunting voices say: "This research is in the Journal for Calorie Control Studies. Right off the bat, it makes me wonder if this could possibly be sound, objective work."
"So what would you want it to be called instead?"
"The Journal about Calorie Control Studies," the first voice answered. "Okay, even as I say it, I realize it sounds dumb."
"Well, let's try this on for size—the Journal of Calorie Control Studies. Does that strike you as different?" said yet another of the panelists. How many of them were there—three, four, more?
"Yeah. It's not for the calorie control studies; it is of the calorie control studies."
"Basically, what you're saying is that, if we ever seem to be in danger of running out of research papers to roast, then we should look for academic journals that have 'for' in the title?"
"We've been at this for 177 episodes. I don't think we're in danger of running out."
On the day of the eminent professor's first inkling about QQG, the day of the near-miss, the day when his foul mood did not yet transform into a fowl mood, on that same day, halfway across the state from cousin Ted, surrounded by an arboreal patch of land, Augusta Gribblesby took out her familial frustration on some unfortunate brass piping. It echoed, it pealed, it drowned out line after line of the podcast she so often listened to while attending to the myriad and sundry tasks of a new entrepreneur. She did not even hear how close to home Episode 177 of Quack, Quack, Goose — so named because it was, in fact, about quackery — was hitting.
No, the only hitting she heard was her own wrench on the equipment of her own distillery. The whole point of the cidery was to provide enough cash flow to keep the old Gribblesby place in the family, and Augusta had the sense that Ted could be helpful if he wanted to—that he made a pretty good living off of other people's nutritional woes. Instead, he had showed up to toss around accusations. Like the one about Augusta being in the pocket of "Big Beverage." Whatever that meant. Ted's branch of the family had always been odd ducks.
She swung the wrench, and let forth another clang.
EPISODE 177 22:05
"Even before we get to the abstract, we see that this paper was submitted on March 16 and accepted for publication on April 7," Taliette John said to her co-hosts (Quack-hosts?) Jacinta and Rafe.
"Same year?" Jacinta asked.
"Yep, same year. A little bit of math—it was a peer review of 19 days. Seriously, almost three whole weeks."
"Wow, I mean… wow," Rafe said.
"Quality like this?" Taliette said. "You can't expect to be done in only a… fortnight?"
"Did you just say 'fortnight'?" Rafe asked. "This is not the Journal of Medieval Studies."
"In that case, though, the peer review could have happened in a fortnight," Jacinta said.
"Yeah, with the Journal of Medieval Studies, I would have had completely different fortnight-related expectations."
"Hold on, are we talking about the Journal of Medieval Studies or the Journal for Medieval Studies?" Taliette asked.
"Guys," Rafe said, "we have seriously spent 15 minutes talking about a preposition."
Back on campus from his visit to Augusta, Ted's fuming was, as yet, still of the intra-Gribblesby variety. For Augusta to have taken early retirement and sunk all her assets into a cidery — a hard cidery? Even worse, to be peddling the product under the Gribblesby name? Ted could hardly distance himself from it in any Internet web search. After all his toiling on nutrition scholarship, to have the public messaging muddied in this way? No, he preferred to eat his apples, rather than drink them, thank you very much.
Suddenly, a swerve of a scooter. Some swerving, scooting student. Swerving his scooter and shouting: "Professor G, you got Quacked!"
Ted barely restrained himself from shaking his fist at the young whipper-snapper and ordering him to get off his lawn. Not that it was literally his, but Ted had some claim to the quad, given all his years on campus, serving the greater good with public health research. Instead of capitulating to irritability, however, Professor Gribblesby channeled his kinetic energy into his signature gesture. A curve of the hands, a point to his chest. A billion people—so many to serve, whether they knew or appreciated it or not—funneled to one heart.
"The abstract here mentions that one of the key findings is about retailer efficiency. Now, Dr. Kang, would you turn to something called the Journal for Calorie Control Studies in order to get reliable research about retailer efficiency?"
"Statistical practices are either good or bad, and sound statistical practices ought to be the same, regardless of the topic they're applied to. So would I say it's a problem that the finding is about retailer efficiency in the Journal of Calorie Control Studies? Not necessarily."
"I'm going to call you out right there," Rafe said. "Diplomacy is all well and good, but I caught you saying Journal of Calorie Control Studies. Maybe that's to cover the fact that, deep down, you know the statistical practices wouldn't be solid in this actual Journal for Calorie Control Studies."
It took an instance or two of non-scooter-borne tidings for Quack, Quack, Goose to seep into Tedworth Gribblesby's consciousness. The more Ted listened, the more infuriating he found it. Especially their speculation about the reason for supposedly weak statistical standards in peer-reviewed medical and public health journals—attributing it to doctors spending all their time treating illnesses and injuries, learning how to set broken bones and perform -otomies and -ectomies. How patronizing! Not to mention, it spoke not at all to his situation. He was a full-time, university-based researcher. Therefore, ipso facto, his output was not the mere product of moonlighting. What did a bunch of improv comics and bit actors know about scholarly research anyway?
As for the consultants, brought in to try to lend the critiques some sort of legitimacy, Ted found them even more galling. Half of them were clinicians and should be back treating their fair share of patients. Instead, they took the infotainment route, patting themselves on the back that they were contributing to better-informed, more numerate citizens. Helping these supposedly funny people, despite how sophomoric they could be — worse than actual sophomores.
Yet he couldn't stop dredging up old content, such as Episode 62.
EPISODE 62 5:14
"This week, we welcome a former colleague of Jacinta's," Taliette said.
Rafe rescued the stammering guest, who had served as the medical consultant on ICU Confidential—seasons eleven through fifteen. "You were too busy dealing with the show's medicine to notice her casting? A role of four whole lines?"
"I have a very important question. Does anyone ever mis-hear neurology as urology?" Taliette asked.
"I'm going to admit," said that week's guest. "The answer is… all the time. It's actually the worst part of being a neurologist."
Rafe said, "A patient comes in, and you're like, 'No, pull your pants back on!' The patient: 'You're a doctor. You've seen it all.'"
"That doesn't mean I want to keep seeing it all."
When noise had drowned out the author information during Episode 177, Augusta mistakenly assumed that she hadn't missed anything worthwhile. Once she realized the facts about the episode, she went back and savored it. Savored it like a fine hard cider. She even found herself catching up on ICU Confidential—after having originally lost interest after about half a dozen seasons—and other programs with stray appearances by the QQGers. Of course, there was some chance that a riled Ted would be that much more dangerous to Augusta herself, but she chose to hope that he would be distracted.
Or, better yet, chastened. With a worm of doubt prompting a fresh look at the data, tweaks to the modeling, reassessment of conclusions.
However, that was still to come.
EPISODE 178 4:51
"This is a new thing for us—embarking on a series of episodes, all of which will have a particular co-author in common," Taliette said. "What led us to continue in this vein is our having heard from one of the researchers whose work we talked about last week. You may recall our having had some fun with his name, Tedworth Gribblesby. He reached out to us, which is not that unusual; however, we want to give you, the listeners, a flavor of what made our exchange with him unique. Jacinta, why don't you read the Gribblesby part?"
"Gotta give it that ICU Confidential touch," Rafe said.
"There's another reason why it seems like poetic justice, but we'll get there in a minute," Taliette said.
Jacinta cleared her throat and read: "'I have attempted to search online for your academic or scholarly credentials, but these searches have yielded nothing. I thereby request, for the sake of public transparency, a list of any relevant degrees and publications, your conference track records, etc. My own C.V. is attached. I only hope the size of the file doesn't cause your computer to crash.'"
"Ooh," Rafe trilled.
"It went on from there," Taliette said.
"I'll say." Jacinta rattled a thick-sounding stack of paper.
"The interesting part, though, is that he sent it to the pod's e-mail account but addressed it just to Rafe," Taliette said. "I wrote the response, and it went like this: 'Professor Gribblesby, we respectfully disagree with your characterization of our program as peddling uninformed skepticism. For all of our veneer of silliness and laughter, we have a dual mission to educate as well, and we take both aspects very seriously. (The laughter is, in a sense, the spoonful of sugar that makes the educational medicine go down. However, knowing your past research interest, we invoke this metaphor with some trepidation.)'"
"Hashtag #BigSugar," Rafe said.
Taliette continued, "'If there are specific analytic matters that you wish for us to explore in more detail, we would be open to furthering that conversation. Please let us know. Kind regards,' and I signed it with all our names, CCing all of us. His follow-up was addressed to Rafe and… John."
"Did you turn around and write to him as 'Gribblesby'?" Jacinta asked.
"Oh, that's it," Rafe said. "He didn't want to pick on girls."
Jacinta resumed her dramatic reading: "'I note that you have not responded to my earlier question about academic credentials, which I now reiterate. I also want to bring to your attention the attached list of ongoing litigation against common-sense public health reforms. The litigation will be given assistance, and the reforms more generally undermined, if you continue to raise questions about the validity of the supportive research. Tedworth Gribblesby, Ph.D.'"
"Do you think he's right about the legal concerns?"
"Hard to say. If only one of us had guested on a certain spinoff—ICU: Malpractice Cases."
Ted posted the full e-mail correspondence on his blog, fully expecting the comment section to fill with enthusiasm about how he had so thoroughly gotten the better of those podcasters. Only, it was greeted with deafening silence.
Perhaps deafening silence is a necessary condition for worms of doubt to flourish. To worm their wormy ways past the billions of distractions. To approach toward the professorial heart.
"This week we tackle a working paper," Taliette said. "Where one of the authors is—you guessed it—Tedworth Gribblesby. Maybe our guest can explain to us what a working paper is?"
"Sure, a working paper is a write-up of research that is far enough along that the researchers might post it on their website, present it at conferences and seminars, but it hasn't yet been accepted for publication by a peer-reviewed journal."
"So is this a cheat on our part? Will finding roast-worthy aspects of a working paper be like shooting fish in a barrel?" Taliette asked.
"Or more like a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?" Jacinta said.
"Or does it depend on whether the fish and birds are being harvested for food, and the relative nutritional content?" Rafe asked.
"Hashtag #BigGame."
"Hashtag #BigBird."
Augusta assumed that the noises Ted was making did not bode well for her. Mentioning the legal implications of QQG's content showed what was on his mind, and maybe he could make litigation into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Augusta had to find a way to go on the offensive before that could happen. Or at least before she had to again listen to his accusations about her fealty to "Big Cider."
Of course, not so long ago, it had been "Big Beverage." Which was it?
"Taliette John here—or, as some of you know me, just 'John'—with a word from our sponsors. Even those of you listening on the premium service will want to hear this one. Because this week's episode of QQG is sponsored by… Gribblesby hard cider. Do you find that the problem with apples is that biting into that crisp fruit and chewing it up is just so much effort? Maybe you have dental problems. Who. Knows. Well, get your apple-y goodness the efficient way, from Gribblesby cider. Available in the classic Gribblesby hard cider, and now there's also Gribblesby non-hard cider. Or as a I like to call it, soft cider. It might sound like applesauce, but an even easier treat for you to share with your grandmamma, just like you did back when she was picking apples in the mini-orchard in the corner of the old family estate, chopping and blending them up for her beloved grandchild. Patting him on the head and calling him 'Teddy Appleseed.' Share those memories—isn't that so sweet? Maybe you could even take a nip of Gribblesby hard cider on the side. Grandma will never know! Gribblesby's."
A worm of doubt has begun to creep in, to worm its wormy way toward the core of Tedworth Gribblesby. Toward the heart that beats in service to billions. Not just the heart, though, but also the hands and the eyes. The hands that curve the curve, that point the point, and the eyes that see. Seeing, at this moment, that Ted has an e-mail from the Journal for UNK — presumably a decision on his latest submission.
Ted has begun dabbling in some revisions to the analysis, and the new results are not entirely consistent with the manuscript as submitted. Perhaps it would be best to have an opportunity to revise, either as a condition of publication at this journal or—though it is unprecedented to wish it—prior to submission elsewhere after a rejection here.
He has so thoroughly convinced himself of the likelihood of this outcome that, upon opening the message, he is taken aback to see the words "we are pleased" and "accept for publication." The paper is on track to appear in next month's Journal for Unitary Nutritional Kinesthesia. Unless Ted himself scuttles it. Asks for a delay to incorporate the more recent data analysis. Undermines the public policy that depends on timely research. Muddles the messaging about healthy eating choices—undeniably essential to brothers and sisters and, if he's feeling generous, even to cousins—all throughout the human family.
So many billions of people, so little change of heart.

Trouble I Have Seen Your Face by Anne Bergman →


It's been an interesting couple of weeks since my last post. The Brisbane Camera Group monthly competition for April was Sport. I did not go out specifically to shoot sport in the lead up to the competition deadline, instead relying on images I had taken over the last 12 months of surfers and beach volley ball players.
When choosing my images to submit, I was not happy with any of these images. Either they were not sharp enough or the action moment was just before or just after the moment I pressed the shutter button. I think that a burst of images may well have been the best option for some of these situations.
This image was taken at Caloundra in February 2017. We had our annual wedding anniversary holiday there and this was one of the rare mornings we chose to get up and embrace the early morning light. I really enjoy this image but the judge only thought it was worth an acceptance.
This image was taken 1 April 2017 in King George Square, Brisbane. Marie had suggested we go into town to get some images and when we arrived I was keen to head to the mall. Instead Marie suggested we start in King George Square and so we did. Thanks to Marie I was able to get this image. The judge awarded it a merit and made a comment suggesting that I may have a tad too much contrast.
The deadline for submission is May 8 so I don't have a lot of time to capture images that meet this topic. While I have noticed a few scenes as I have walked around at lunch time, I have been hesitant to pull out my phone camera and take a shot. If I am to capture some images, I'll need to find some extra courage or alternatively endeavour to set up some scenes. Otherwise I will be competing in the Open section again.
Last Saturday, Marie and I attended a workshop on Conceptual Photography. I found this to be of great value as it has made me rethink some aspects of my Print Project Challenge. To be creative in approach requires me to be less fixed on my initial ideas and be prepared to test options to see if they improve the planned image.
For example, what would be the impact of subtracting an element of the image? We were given a list of items we could consider in our process to discover the image that best fits our concept. One danger I face is using something that is too cliché. Therefore, I need to think deeper to be able to convey my message in a way that makes the viewer stop and study the image.
My Print Project Challenge is coming along. I have acquired most of the props I need to start creating images. Then it's a matter of doing the work, then reworking, then doing the work until the images are ready for submission.
The set subject for the last monthly competition of the year was "Faceless Portraits". After some research to see what types of images qualify for this topic, I realized that I would need to put in extra effort to make my images work. Also, as the deadline for submitting images into the annual competition was only two weeks after this competition, and I was running behind schedule, I decided to submit in the Open category rather than the set subject.
This image needed a focal point to draw the viewer into the image. Otherwise, it was well made. This image was created during the course I did through the University of Tasmania at the start of the year.
This image was well captured and was of award quality. This image was created during the course I did through the University of Tasmania at the start of the year.
This image needed to be shot from a closer view point so the mere specks became people. This image was taken a few months ago when Marie and I visited Northern New South Wales.
The dynamic sky occupies the greatest part of the image. The horizon is very close to the bottom of the image helping to reinforce the impact of the sky. An award quality image. This image was taken a few months ago when Marie and I visited Northern New South Wales.
The annual competition entries needed to be submitted by October 24. Marie and I have been hard at work selecting and choosing images. Also, for the first time we submitted prints as well as DPIs into the competition. This added a new challenge. We needed to have the images ready earlier so they could be printed in readiness for submission.
There are 6 subjects and a limit of 4 images per subject making a total submission of 24 images. I submitted 10 DPIs and 14 prints with judging of prints being done on November 13 and results announced at the BCG Annual Dinner on December 5. While I had planned to submit an AV again this year, I ran out of time to put one together. Maybe next year I will do one again.

Navico (Lowrance, Simrad, B&G)
Lowrance angler wins Bassmaster Classic
Lowrance pro angler Jordan Lee won the 2017 Bassmaster Classic championship last weekend on Lake Conroe in Houston.
A 25-year-old professional angler from Guntersville, Ala., Lee became the sixth consecutive Lowrance angler to win the event when he finished with a three-day total of 56 pounds, 10 ounces, taking home $300,000.
Steve Kennedy, who also competed in the event with Lowrance marine electronics, finished second with a total weight of 55 pounds, 1 ounce.
"All of us at Lowrance congratulate Jordan on his amazing performance and well- deserved win," Navico CEO Leif Ottosson said in a statement. "We are proud to know that Lowrance has continued to play a key role in winning the last six Bassmaster Classics, and that Lowrance is still the No. 1 brand of marine electronics at the Bassmaster Classic and Bassmaster Elite tour. For 60 years the key to success has been driven by Lowrance sonar innovation and our commitment to deliver meaningful benefits for anglers."
The 2017 Bassmaster Elite Series continues April 6-9. Anglers will compete on Toledo Bend Reservoir near Many, La.

Q: Instantiated prefab shows up in hierarchy as inactive I have an issue where my prefab gun shows up as inactive in my hierarchy after I instantiated it.
void IInteractableTarget.Interact(GameObject character)
{
    int winningInt = Random.Range(1, 3);

    if(winningInt == 1)
    {
        GameObject obj_rifle = Instantiate(assaultRiflePrefab, spawnPos.position, spawnPos.rotation);
    }

    if (winningInt == 2)
    {
        GameObject obj_pistol = Instantiate(pistolPrefab, spawnPos.position, spawnPos.rotation);
    }

    //GameObject obj = Instantiate(assaultRiflePrefab, spawnPos.position, spawnPos.rotation);
    //obj.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(transform.up * 5, ForceMode.Impulse);
    //Instantiate(assaultRiflePrefab, spawnPos.position, spawnPos.rotation);

    Debug.Log("Weapon from chest instantiated" + " " + winningInt);
}

How should I handle this?

A: From the documentation https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html

The active status of a GameObject at the time of cloning is
maintained, so if the original is inactive the clone is created in an
inactive state too.

You can just set the active status of the GameObjects to true
void IInteractableTarget.Interact(GameObject character)
{
    int winningInt = Random.Range(1, 3);

    if(winningInt == 1)
    {
        GameObject obj_rifle = Instantiate(assaultRiflePrefab, spawnPos.position, spawnPos.rotation);
        obj_rifle.SetActive(true); // <-- Set active to true
    }

    if (winningInt == 2)
    {
        GameObject obj_pistol = Instantiate(pistolPrefab, spawnPos.position, spawnPos.rotation);
        obj_pistol.SetActive(true); // <-- Set active to true
    }

    //GameObject obj = Instantiate(assaultRiflePrefab, spawnPos.position, spawnPos.rotation);
    //obj.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(transform.up * 5, ForceMode.Impulse);
    //Instantiate(assaultRiflePrefab, spawnPos.position, spawnPos.rotation);

    Debug.Log("Weapon from chest instantiated" + " " + winningInt);
}

Flat plate solar collectors "TERMING-SK" are made from domestic materials and are characterized by economy, quality, design, suitable for installation on pitched and flat roofs on a custom-built construction.
The casing of the collector is a rigid box made of aluminum - sheet metal and profiles, combined into one unit. At the request of the customer we can develop the casing out of stainless steel as well. A 40 mm thick thermal insulation is placed on the bottom and the sides to reduce heat losses.
The absorption (collector) plate is made of phosphated sheet metal, pre-pressed into a certain shape and welded at the joints. The energy of the solar radiation that reaches the absorption surface is transferred to the liquid as a heat medium, which flows through the plate. It is installed in such a way that it does not create a thermal bridge with the casing of the collector.
The absorption surface is part of the collector plate, which receives the radiation energy and transforms it into heat energy that is then used to heat sanitary consumption water or space of the household. The same is painted black, which has a high degree of absorption.
The cover of the absorbing box is placed in order of heat insulation of the absorption surface and its protection from external factors. Made of a single layer of tempered glass 5 mm thick, which transmits light well. The air layer between the absorption plate and the cover keeps the heat, reduces losses due to reflection and convection.
The connection between the absorbing box and the cover is flexible and made of rubber gaskets or silicone putty strengthened with aluminum strips.
In case of pipe solar collectors, the absorber is made of steel or copper pipes.
daily consumption of hot water per family member is: 30-50 lit.
so each member of the family needs 0.6 to 1 m² of the collector.

I have looked at everything I can think of but have found no solution.
Sorry to see of the issues your having, could you tell me your permalink structure please? Please can you upgrade to the latest version of the plugin?
Also is this on a static page, i.e you have defined a page in settings > reading ?
HI Jack, Thanks for reply.
Sorry to say thee is a slightly known but with Site Categories. The bug is it cannot be used on the home page. When you set the landing page it creates some rewrite rules. And these do not seem to work when the Site Categories landing page is set to the home page. Sorry. Hope to have this fixed in the next couple of days.
Thank you for letting me know. Your support here has been the swiftest I have experienced anywhere!! Thanks again and I do hope the bug is fixed soon.
Thanks. I'm posted a beta in the hopes that you have some time to test out things for me on a real site.
This new beta has a new options on the Landing Page selection section (see image). When you set the Site Categories Landing page to the static home page the plugin will force the pretty URLs to 'no'.
The reason for this lay within the WordPress rewrite rule login. Seems there is special logic pertaining to the home URL. Any extra nodes like '/vacations/' WP thinks is related to Posts or Page slugs. So it tries to match them with existing posts. So we have to enforce non-pretty URLs when using the home page.
Let me know back if you run into any issues with the beta. Thanks.
thanks a ton for that!
The plugin now works as expected but had to (after I'd been messing around somewhat) return the permalinks to Default in order for it to work.
