Kramer Electronics recently appointed a new CEO for its U.S. sales office, Steve Biegacki, which became effective May 1. Biegacki replaced Dave Bright, who announced his retirement in August of last year. Bright will stay on as acting chairman of the board until his actual retirement at the end of 2016.
"I am thrilled to be joining Kramer at this exciting and pivotal moment in both the industry and the company," said Biegacki. "The game is changing once again and Kramer is right on the edge both technologically and in its vision for the future leveraging the IT convergence of pro AV."
Before joining Kramer, Biegacki served as senior vice president of global sales and marketing at Belden, a global leader in end-to-end signal transmission solutions for mission-critical network infrastructure in industrial, enterprise, and broadcast markets.
During his eight-year tenure with the company, Biegacki contributed significantly to improving sales and marketing processes. His achievements included leading the creation of the Belden Market Delivery System and driving profitable revenue growth.
Biegacki began his career at Rockwell Automation (formerly Allen-Bradley) in 1978. Throughout his nearly 30 years at Rockwell, he held various positions in sales and marketing management. As vice president of marketing, Biegacki led the globalization of Rockwell Automation's marketing function, provided leadership in defining targeted customer segments, and worked to align the product portfolio with customer needs.
Biegacki holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering technology from ETI Technical College in Cleveland, OH.

Most people run away quickly from the fuzzy yellow and black, buzzing ball in the sky. Yes, we're talking bees here. For such a small creature, we are so afraid of them. For good reason, though…I mean, ouch! It hurts to get stung.
What many people aren't aware of, however, is the integral role that bees play in our ecosystem. In the May box, we included a set of beeswax birthday candles from Big Dipper Wax Works, a company that sources a majority of its beeswax from British Columbia. We learned so many interesting things about bees and beeswax that we wanted to share our new knowledge with you!
More than 85% of the plant species on earth require bees and other pollinators to exist. These plants constitute some of the most nutritious parts of our diet.
When the supplies get low and pollen is scarce, bees are known to eat their hive mates. Yes, we're talking cannibalism here.
Honeybees communicate with one another through dancing: where to find food, housing, etc.
Beeswax candles have a 100% clean and non-toxic burn. They also produce negative ions (charged molecules) while burning, which help to relieve stress, boost energy and alertness levels and protect against germs. The amount of negative ions in the air is dependent on the environment. For example, 100,000 negative ions can be found in Yosemite Falls whereas your home or office may only have 100. That's why being in natural surroundings makes us feel so great!
The average worker bee produces around 1/12th teaspoon of honey in her lifetime.
Queens are a real thing! When a colony becomes crowded, the bees elect a new queen bee and she then produces chemicals that influence and guide the behavior of other bees.
With 170 odorant receptors, bees have a keen sense of smell. They use these receptors to recognize different types of flowers and to communicate within the hive.
Beeswax has many benefits due to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-allergenic and germicidal antioxidant properties. It also protects against dry skin.
Every colony has a different scent so that bees can recognize where they live.

Week of March 26, 2012
It was a relatively quiet weekend with a few preps and a few marathons as we gear up for a three week stretch of major Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby prep races.
At Turfway Park John Velazquez turned in a prep race double when he won aboard In Lingerie and Went the Day Well in the Bourbonette Oaks (chart) and Vinery Spiral (chart). In Lingerie wasn't particularly interested in loading in the gate prior Bourbonette but grabbed lead early and never looked back (replay). Last out she ran second to buzz Oaks contender Zo Impressive in an allowance race at Gulfstream Park. Zo Impressive is a likely starter in next weekend's Gulfstream Oaks.
Went the Day Well was a little green in the stretch of the Vinery Spiral, but he pulled away once he got his bearings. In the post-race interview on NBC Sports Network, Velazquez told Donna Barton Brothers that "when he found himself on the lead he didn't know what to do." Owner Barry Irwin, who won the Vinery Spiral and Kentucky Derby with Animal Kingdom last year, noted that the winner would point to the Derby but "needed more experience." The Coolmore Lexington Stakes on April 21 at Keeneland is the most likely next stop for Went the Day Well.
Barry Irwin and Team Valor were not the only ones to replicate a winning strategy last weekend, Bob Baffert shipped Princess Arabella to the Sunland Park Oaks (chart | replay) and won by 8 lengths, replicating last year's Kentucky Oaks winner Plum Pretty's domination in the same race. Lightly raced Princess Arabella remained undefeated and is likely to go on to the Kentucky Oaks. In the Sunland Derby (chart) Castaway, winner of the first division of the Southwest Stakes, got caught up in a speed duel with Ender Knievel and faded to a distance 7th, leaving Daddy's Nose Best to run down Isn't He Clever in the stretch. Daddy Nose Best is now officially on the Derby trail according to trainer Steve Asmussen. Late nominations for the Kentucky Derby close on Monday, we'll add links to the updated contenders when they're available.
Update: 20 were added to the Triple Crown nominees on Monday. You can grab a free Brisnet past performance of all the 2012 Triple Crown Nominees here.
Bob Baffert trainee Bodemeister put in an impressive effort while working in company on Friday. HRTV offers video of the work, showing Bodemeister navigating through traffic and accelerating without being asked. Withers winner Alpha seems to have finally settled on the Wood Memorial as his next prep race while Hansen will now go to the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland on April 14. Current 2012 Kentucky Derby favorite Union Rags impressed clockers with his work for the upcoming Florida Derby where he'll meet El Padrino, who also put in his final prep.
Elsewhere marathoners stepped up or exacted revenge. Dynamic Host stepped up, scoring his first stakes win his 27 starts in the Tokyo City Cup (chart) at Santa Anita, last year's Grade 2 Clement L. Hirsch was his only other stakes attempt. Jockey David Flores noted in a post-race interview that the 8-year-old tends to be "lazy when he makes the lead", despite this bad habit he held on to win by a neck. When asked about racing the son of Dynaformer, a renown turf sire, on turf (something he's already done 10 times with only one win) trainer Art Sherman noted that he thought he had options and might point him to the 1 3/4 mile San Juan Capistrano Handicap on turf next out. At Gulfstream Park Newsdad turned the tables on Simmard in the Pan American Handicap (chart) at Gulfstream Park. Last out Newsdad just missed Simmard by a nose but this time Simmard finished third almost 10 lengths behind Newsdad. No word on what's next for the Bill Mott trainee, but this win marked Mott's fifth Pan American win. On Sunday at Santa Anita Bourbon Bay made the best of the extra quarter mile to turn the tables on Slim Shadey in the 1 1/2 mile San Luis Rey Stakes (chart) at Santa Anita. Last out Bourbon Bay was 4th to Slim Shadey at in the San Marcos at 1 1/4 miles. Bourbon Bay is likely to meet Dynamic Host as he'll also point to the San Juan Capistrano according to trainer Neil Drysdale.
Next weekend's impending "awesome off" is off as undefeated Awesome Feather will not take on Awesome Maria in the upcoming weekend's Rampart Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Apparently Awesome Feather has not "been herself" recently but no word on where they might be looking next.
Update: Trainer Bob Baffert suffered a heart attack earlier today in Dubai and is reportedly doing well. The Daily Racing Form has a bedside video from Baffert where he's joking with this esteemed cavalcade of visitors.
This coming weekend will be action packed with Kentucky Oaks and Derby preps as well as the annual Dubai World Cup. Well be publishing our regular Month Ahead next Sunday to let you know what April has in store. HBO's troubled series Luck ended its short run on Sunday night. We'll do our final Understanding Luck, where we explain the racing concepts each episode, later on today. If you'll miss the degenerate gang of Foray Stables (and who wouldn't!), we've got a book review for you: Horseplayers, Life at the Track. As a bonus, the author stopped by to leave a comment where he lists the racing books that inspired him.

Q: Django Forms and bootstrap - adding widgets works but not fully I have problem with bootstrap in my django forms. In forms I have this code:
make = forms.ChoiceField(choices=make_choices)
make.widget.attrs.update({'class': 'form-control'})

And in tutorials I saw that it should be enough to render proper bootstrap choice field.
But in my case it looks like this:

Please notice:

*

*missing arrow indicating actual dropdown on the right

*grey select box is not wide enough, or rather box above is too wide?

*label "Make:" also doesn't look like proper bootstrap label.

I checkout out several tutorials but in all of them adding this "{'class': 'form-control'}" in attrs was enough. I was also experimenting with django crispy forms but they were also not fully correct. What am I missing? What I did wrong?

A: as of bootstrap 5 docs https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/forms/select/#default you should use .form-select class to trigger the custom styles for <select> elements, so it should be
make.widget.attrs.update({'class': 'form-select'})

.form-control class is used for elements like <input> and <textarea>.

When we first started looking at houses, we did not think a dishwasher was one of our top priorities. When we were about to put an offer on our first home – a 1940s fixer-upper – I specifically remember my mother-in-law warning us, "You will need to factor in the cost of a dishwasher if you buy this house." To which we adamantly laughed, "We don't need a dishwasher." We didn't buy that house, but now, six years later, we're laughing at the preposterous idea that we thought we didn't need a dishwasher.
About a year and a half ago, we finally bought our first house, and with it, our first (very old) dishwasher. Last fall, we upgraded to all KitchenAid® stainless steel major appliances, including a new KitchenAid® Dishwasher with Clean Water Wash System (see our kitchen tour here!).
This Dishwasher is incredibly quiet and with the Clean Water Wash System, where it continuously removes any food remnants from the wash water, our dishes come out sparkling every time!
With the new kitchen, we wanted to make sure we kept the appliances looking shiny and new, without funky odors, lackluster smudges or build-up from hard water. When you take the time to maintain your appliances, you can feel proud of your kitchen every time you walk in, and you'll extend the use and life of your appliances. Just a few minimal steps can really pay off!
From the outside in, the first step is to keep the exterior looking polished and smudge-free. For basic upkeep from everyday use, you can use a soft damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent to wipe away any smudges or residue. For stainless steel appliances, a stainless steel cleaner, such as affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner is recommended. Just spray it onto your dishwasher and wipe it away to leave a streak-free shine!
It's important to also maintain the interior of your dishwasher monthly as well. We don't have particularly hard water where we live now, but I've experienced both kinds of water! Without maintenance, hard water build-up can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it harder to get your dishes sparkling clean.
Even without very hard water, you might notice some hard water minerals that cause a white film build-up on the surface of the door or other surfaces. To clean the surfaces, use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent (or make a paste with powdered detergent and water) and a damp sponge or soft damp cloth when the dishwasher is cool. Just rub it into the surface or the racks of the dishwasher and wipe away.
I have definitely been the victim of a super stinky dishwasher in my day. To eliminate any odors, place two cups of white vinegar in an upright glass measuring cup (or dishwasher safe jar) in the lower rack and run a normal cycle without detergent and with the ProDry™ option turned OFF.
To keep odors at bay, if you don't use your dishwasher daily, you can run just a rinse cycle on a partial load until it's completely full and ready to run or even use the Top Rack Only option to run just a partial load, so you don't keep food residue sitting for days in your dishwasher.
If you plan to go on an extended vacation and not use your dishwasher over the summer months, make sure to disconnect the water and power supply to the dishwasher. Likewise, if you live somewhere cold during the winter, be sure to protect the water supply lines from freezing by having your dishwasher professionally winterized.
Finally, to keep any interior build-up at bay, KitchenAid recommends using a monthly maintenance product like affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner tablets that you can run in your normal cycle.
Before cleaning the exterior, I didn't even realize just how dirty the Dishwasher had gotten. I don't know about you, but when my kitchen looks dirty, it keeps me from wanting to spend time in there. It's amazing how just a few seconds of sprucing up the Dishwasher can transform your kitchen into a space you can feel happy about again!

Toy – Patterns, Brighton – 19th February 2019
Liam Mcmillen
Categories: Live Reviews
Tags: Toy
Despite building up a loyal following in the UK, Toy never quite reached the potential that it looked like they would back in 2012 with their self-titled debut album Toy. Their show at Patterns was in support of their fourth record, Happy in the Hollow, which we described as, "A wild ride through the darkness of psychedelia in just about every way, it's a delightful journey that changes at the drop of a hat". As huge fans of the five-piece, and certainly their latest album, this was an inanimate and almost lifeless performance from the Brighton band.
A group that have never quite had the same relationship with Brighton as many other bands from the South Coast – namely Tigercub and Black Honey for example – their first Brighton headline gig in a long time seemed a little defunct. Much like a band going through the motions, Toy created little atmosphere throughout the night and barely spoke to the sizeable crowd in attendance.
That's not to say that the band weren't good technically – because they were, and they continue to prove that they're a superbly innovative band with fantastic chemistry – but this particular performance seemed almost robotic and certainly static. This is almost entirely the planned procedure here, but without a stellar light show to go with it – instead of the standard Patterns lighting – its end result is, simply, quite mundane and it could be seen towards the end of the set by the crowd's tetchiness and muted response. As an album support show, it just seems a strange decision to not fully support the album in the best way possible.
That's not to say that there weren't highlights because, of course, when you're four albums deep and a band showing supreme consistency, there's certain songs that land with the crowd. Surprisingly, much of the memorable moments came from cuts off Happy in the Hollow. 'Last Warmth of the Day' proved to be a brooding and atmospheric cut that swirled around the downstairs of Patterns beautifully, while 'Energy' was a sonic journey of psych meets post-punk, which created the best rapport between the band and the crowd. Elsewhere, debut album cuts 'Motoring' and 'My Heart Skips a Beat' were further proof of the band's consistency for the last seven years.
There's no doubt about Toy's talent and impressive technicality but, nevertheless, their live show leaves much to be desired. Lacking in any kind of communication, and letting the music do the talking for you simply doesn't work in intimate settings such as Patterns. A proficient performance, but without the personality and likeability to enhance it to anything better than accomplished, this was, ultimately, a huge disappointment.

Home / Video / Akram vs McGrath?
The latest 'Legend vs Legend' video from Lord's has been released.
Their first one was 'Waugh vs Ponting'.
Before you go any further, watch this latest fast bowler showdown by scrolling up and clicking the big play button above the title of this piece.
Should that be too hard, here is the YouTube Link.
Based on these numbers, I think the objective mind suggests that McGrath would be the pick if we were using 'Moneyball' rules.
Luckily enough for me, I grew up watching both of these guys.
Akram had the ability to move a ball around like no one else I've seen. His short run up and explosive arm action added flavour to the story.
McGrath on the other hand was the metronome. He just kept on putting the ball in the same place, over and over again.
This isn't to say he was a dumb cricketer. Far from it.
In fact, McGrath is the bloke who made bowling right arm around the wicket to left handed batsmen a thing.
He displayed this the most against Brian Lara, whom he got out an amazing 18 times in Test cricket.
Being part of a McGrath hat trick is probably not what The Prince wants to be remembered for.
Speaking of hat tricks, Akram was the first person in history to take 4 of them at International level. FOUR OF THEM!
And that's the thing. I just found Akram to be more exciting. He got me to watch.
McGrath just made Australia win.
No fast bowler has taken more Test wickets that McGrath, and that's probably a key reason why Australia won a lot.
That, and the fact that an amazing 104 of his victims fell for a duck.
McGrath also has taken more World Cup wickets than any other bowler in history.
Makes you smile, doesn't it!
The other missing piece here is the batting.
Akram was a legitimate bowling all rounder. McGrath was a legitimate bunny, who morphed into a legitimate number 11 by the end of his career.
We could discount Akram's highest Test score of 247*, based on the fact it was against Zimbabwe and Jason Gillespie also has a double hundred. However, you still need to make them.
In fact, Akram made 3 Test hundreds and 7 fifties.
So in a one on one battle, I have to choose Akram.
For me, he was just more fun to watch.
Make sure you record your vote. I expect this count to be tight.
If you are more passionate than that (and let's face it, we all are), leave a comment making a case for either Akram or McGrath below.
Well, Well, Well, what a choice , i'd have i'm both in my 11 with Dennis Lillee. I'm a true blue dinki di Aussie, BUT i gotta agree , Give me Akram , his ability to reverse swing and his yorkers put him ahead of mcgrath.
My vote for McGrath given his exceptional performances while Wasim a legend but would pull out of games when he felt bored leaving his team suffer.
Two greats, and two very different players.
If you're looking for someone to keep his foot on the throat, McGrath was just a metronome. It wasn't just the same line/length, he bowled a very good, underated bouncer too. It was mainly the manipulation of weaknesses that McGrath brought to the game, along with consistency, ability to hit the seam, his awkward length.
Wasim on the other hand was an explosion, a master of getting something from nothing, added a unique angle of attack, could hoop the ball around, and turn matches around from nowhere.
If I could pick both, I would. If not, I'd pick…………………………………McGrath. Just. I think it was his mercilessness. His unrelenting torment of Athers is one of the formative memories I have of growing up watching cricket. Wasim was of course by far the better batsmen. I'm not sure if that counts when I'm looking for an opening bowler, though.
In cricket, it is about 'effective execution of skills', and McGrath was a master at it. He scores over Akram certainly in test cricket which requires discipline, consistency, and control. Akram lacked control in test cricket and was good mostly in patches.
In ODIs, they were at par. McGrath often provided initial bursts and was miserly whereas Akram had the ability to strike anytime in the innings, and to polish off the tail, quickly. So, all in all, McGrath scores over Akram, as a complete bowler!
The Indians have written a 'Claim for Compensation' Letter to the West Indies. I've ripped it apart line by line.

Washington Trip Ideas
5 Must-See Waterfalls in Washington State
Here in Washington State, we're known for our breathtaking mountain ranges, our diverse National Parks, the beauty of the Puget Sound, and of course, our healthy amount of rainfall. Whether we like the quantity of precipitation or not, we can all admit that it leads to some seriously gorgeous greenery and fantastic waterfalls. We have no shortage of falls, and you can find them in almost every corner of the state. We've rounded up a few of our favorites and shared them below.
What's your favorite waterfall in Washington?
Palouse Falls:
Palouse is an unexpected gem in the middle of a dry and rocky desert. Off the beaten path, the falls appear out of nowhere and are all the more spectacular juxtaposed against the rural surroundings. The falls are a part of the larger Palouse Falls State Park, which offers first-come, first-served tent camping and is an ideal spot for a picnic and spotting yellow-bellied marmots soaking in the sunshine. From the parking lot, a short walk to an overlook provides interpretive signs and impressive views of the 198-foot waterfall, but a five-minute walk to Upper Palouse Falls will really leave you dazzled. This istheprime location for photo opportunities, particularly during sunrise or sunset.
Location: Southeast Washington
Snoqualmie Falls:
Located just 30 miles from Seattle, Snoqualmie Falls is one of the most accessible falls in the state, and thus, one of the most popular. A large platform next to the parking area provides views of the 270-foot tall waterfall that can grow to 150 feet wide at its pinnacle. If you want to venture further, walk the 1.3-mile out and back trail that winds through western hemlock, douglas fir, alder and bigleaf maple trees. At the bottom of the trail, a boardwalk leads to a sensational viewpoint that faces the base of the falls. Finish off your trip with a stop at the Snoqualmie Falls store for a box of their famous "Old Fashioned" pancake and waffle mix. It makes a great breakfast if you're on the road in one of our Ford campervans.
Location: Snoqualmie, WA
Bridal Veil Falls:
If you want to work for your waterfall view, Bridal Veil Falls is for you. Located in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, a short two-mile hike leads you to one of the tallest waterfalls in the state. The water flows 1,328 feet down from nearby Lake Serene (which you can hike to from the waterfall) over the rocky wall of Mount Index. It consists of seven tiers, but only a third of the total height can be seen from the trail, keeping much of its size hidden. The gentle misty spray at the base is a great way to cool off on a hot summer's day.
Location: Index (near Stevens Pass)
All The Rooms has some great information on Washinton's National Parks as well. Check out one of their articles here!
Wallace Falls:
Wallace Falls is 5.6-mile round trip hike located in the Central Cascades. With 1,300 feet of elevation gain, the moderate climb makes it an accessible hike for all, with scenic spots to stop and catch your breath along the way. The hike is comprised of three main areas to view the waterfall: lower falls, middle falls, and upper falls. The lower falls has a picnic and shelter area, making it a great stop for a snack, while middle falls provides the most impressive panoramic sights on the trail. Get your camera ready and if you've had your fill, it's a great spot to turn around and head back down.
Pro Tip: This hike is dog friendly (furballs must be kept on leashes) and a great hike for families.
Location: Central Cascades, Washington
Sol De Lac Falls:
Olympic National Park has a lot of attractions to experience, and Sol De Lac Falls is one of them. At just 1.6 miles round trip, you'll walk through incredible old-growth trees and lush green rainforest landscapes. Depending on the season and water volume, the falls can split into as many as four pathways as it cascades over 45 feet into a rocky canyon. Start the walk early to avoid crowds and enjoy some peace and quiet in nature.
Pro Tip: Permits are required for an overnight stay and reservations are in effect May 1st through September 30th for the Sol Duc-Seven Lakes Basin area. Tent and RV camping is allowed in the area, and our fully equipped adventure van rentals are designed for beautiful places like this.
Location: Olympic National Park, WA

What's the point of using Paypal if I don't get my money?
I think I set up the wrong type of paypal account. I'm very new to paypal and have only been using it for less than 2 weeks. I set up a personal account, thinking that I could use it for personal and business purposes. I own a villa rental agency in Bali and decided to try and invoice my customers on a rental for a few nights. Successfully, they transferred the funds into my account, but my account was suddenly "LIMITED". I checked through my invoices and it asked me to put in a shipping & tracking number of my product. My company provides services for people who want to rent villas in Bali. I've already received 2 transactions, but I am unable to withdraw the money from my account.
How do I change my account so it doesn't limit me? I can't run a business like this, What's the point of using Paypal if I don't get my money?
Paypal says I owe money because my friend owes them money.

← Trump, Conspiracy Theory and blaming the Deep State…
Would there be violent insurrection in Washington DC and all 50 state capitols if Trump were removed with the 25th Amendment? →
Dear Donald Trump, you have been impeached. Again.

While we were asleep, the Americans were wide awake, and the House of Representatives voted to impeach Donald Trump. This is his second impeachment.https://t.co/50ZqBSnK1z

The Twenty-fifth Amendment (Amendment XXV) to the United States Constitution says that if the President becomes unable to do his job, the Vice President becomes the President (Section 1) or Acting President (Sections 3 or 4). This can happen for a short period of time, if the President is just sick or disabled for a short time. It could also happen until the end of the President's term (the President's time in office), if the President died, resigned, or is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office[1]".

BREAKING: Vice President Mike Pence informed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he would not invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office. https://t.co/iom9xdqpYA
— HuffPost (@HuffPost) January 13, 2021
Despite the Capitol riot, doing so would not be "consistent with our Constitution," the vice president wrote to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
By Lydia O'Connor
Vice President Mike Pence informed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday that he would not invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.
"I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution," he said in a letter to the Democrat.
Pence's announcement comes as House Democrats prepared to vote on a resolution asking the vice president to invoke the amendment, which allows for a process to remove a president unfit to hold office. Invoking the 25th requires the vice president and either a majority of the president's Cabinet or a review body appointed by Congress to agree to it.
In his letter to Pelosi, Pence preached that this is a time "to come together" and "to heal," not "further divide and inflame the passions of the moment."

Updated 1114 GMT (1914 HKT) January 12, 2021
(CNN) The House of Representatives is expected to vote Tuesday on a measure calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office through the 25th Amendment in the wake of the violent siege of the US Capitol last week.
The resolution, brought forward by Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, calls on Vice President Mike Pence "to immediately use his powers under section 4 of the 25th Amendment to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments in the Cabinet to declare what is obvious to a horrified nation: That the President is unable to successfully discharge the duties of his office."
It further calls on Pence to assume "the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."Approval of the resolution by the Democratic-led House will stand as a symbolic rebuke to the President as many lawmakers are furious and reeling from the deadly attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
It comes as House Democrats are now moving rapidly toward impeaching the President for a second time as a result of the insurrection, which Trump incited after repeatedly making false claims that the election had been stolen from him and calling for his supporters to fight back.
House Democrats plan to vote Wednesday to impeach Trump, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said on a caucus call Monday, setting up an impeachment vote one week after rioters overran Capitol police and breached some of the most secure areas of the Capitol.
The House will vote Tuesday evening on the resolution urging Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump, and then will plan to vote Wednesday at 9 a.m. ET on the impeachment resolution, Hoyer said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement Monday that Democrats are "calling on the Vice President to respond within 24 hours after passage" of the 25th Amendment resolution.Invoking the 25th Amendment would require Pence and a majority of the Cabinet to vote to remove Trump from office due to his inability to "discharge the powers and duties of his office" — an unprecedented step.
Pence has so far given no indication that he would take that action.

What to Know About the 25th Amendment
By Laurence Arnold
October 3, 2020, 4:30 AM GMT+8 Updated on January 8, 2021, 3:54 AM GMT+8
The 25th amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides an avenue for a president to be removed from the helm of government — temporarily or for good, willingly or not — when necessary under extraordinary circumstances. At times during President Donald Trump's tumultuous term, his critics have cited the amendment approvingly, even wishfully, while reviewing what they consider his erratic behavior. The siege of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters has again raised the topic, even with Trump in his final weeks as president.

Wells syndrome
Eosinophilic cellulitis; Bullous cellulitis with eosinophilia; Wells' syndrome
Wells syndrome is a rare eosinophilic disorder that primarily affects the skin. Affected people typically develop a skin rash that is often preceded by itching or burning skin. The rash consists of raised, red, swollen areas that may be warm to the touch. The symptoms generally come on rapidly and may last four to eight weeks. In some cases, the rash may recur (occur frequently or repeatedly) for years. The exact underlying cause of Wells syndrome is currently unknown; however, some scientists believe that it may be an autoimmune reaction. Oral or topical corticosteroids are commonly used to treat Wells syndrome, although antifungal drugs, antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and/or antihistamines have also been used with varying degrees of success.[1][2][3]
People with Wells syndrome generally develop a skin rash that is often preceded by itching or burning skin. The rash consists of raised, red, swollen areas that may be warm to the touch. The limbs (arms and legs) are the most commonly affected area of the body. However, the trunk may be involved as well. Symptoms generally come on rapidly and may last for four to eight weeks. In some cases, the rash may recur (occur frequently or repeatedly) for years.[1][2][3] Some people with Wells syndrome may experience symptoms that do not affect the skin, such as asthma, joint pain, fever, or fatigue.[2][3]

Bacterial infection of skin
Skin itching
High blood eosinophil count
Skin vesicle
Fever 0001945
The exact underlying cause of Wells syndrome is currently unknown. However, some scientists believe that it may be an autoimmune reaction. In people affected by an autoimmune disorder, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks it's own healthy tissues.[1]
Possible triggers for Wells syndrome include:[3]
Bug bites (i.e. spiders, bees, fleas, ticks, or mites)
A diagnosis of Wells syndrome is often suspected based on the presence of characteristic signs and symptoms. A skin biopsy may then be recommended to support the diagnosis.[2][3] It is also important to exclude possible triggers of the condition which may require unique treatment protocols.[2]
The skin symptoms associated with wells syndrome are typically treated with oral or topical corticosteroids such as Prednisone. Other medications that may be used to treat this condition include antifungal drugs, antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and/or antihistamines (H1 receptor antagonists).[2][3]
Medscape Reference's Web site offers more specific information about the different medications that are often used to treat Wells syndrome. Please click the link to access this resource.
The long-term outlook (prognosis) for people with Wells syndrome is excellent. The condition usually resolves over the course of four to eight weeks and may clear up more quickly with treatment. Most people do not have residual scarring.[2][3]

My child has been having outbreaks from Wells since infancy, but nobody knew what was going on. It took a number of years before he was finally diagnosed with Wells syndrome. For the last two years he has taken a low dose steroid every other day. When his outbreaks are really bad his doctors just give him more steroids. The steroids help it not get out of hand like it was before he started the medicine, however I worry about the long term effects. We've tried Griseofulvin in the past, but that did not help at all. Are there other treatment options? See answer

Doing My Patriotic Doody
So Tuesday (11/2/10) was our big voting day. There were important issues on the ballots, like implementing an income tax (in addition to our highest-sales-tax-in-the-US already) and allowing non-state-run stores (like grocery and gas stations) to sell hard liquor. Plus apparently a slew of slimy candidates, slaughtering trees by the thousands to send me junk mail that didn't even make it past the recycle bin in my driveway after leaving the mail box. Oh yes, and don't forget the incessant automated-voice calls during nap time. I was ready to tell all the candidates to take a flying leap.
Growing up, my sister (Kayneen - the rest were too young at the time) and I loved politics, because my dad would have strangers over and had cookies and soda and chips for them- all things we only ever saw at other kids' birthday parties. Apparently he hosted caucuses (which would have had me snickering juvenilely all night over the humorous homonym, had I known all the synonyms for male genitalia.) Our parents would let us stay up late and snack, as long as we were quiet and polite. Oh, you've never seen such politeness and quietude! But inevitably we'd listen and hear stuff, occasionally piping in with a thought-out topical question (after raising our hand first, to be sure we wouldn't lose noshing privileges!) And we'd ask more questions after they left (to delay going to bed, and cram in a few more treats.)
About 5.2 seconds after turning 18, my dad took me in to register to vote. And every election day, he'd pick me up after work and drag me kicking and screaming drive me to the polls, and give me rundowns on the current issues and candidates; as well as his opinions and leanings, but only if I asked for them. He did this until I moved to our current house in 2001, and I registered with my new address at the library. What? ABSENTEE BALLOTS?! Hellyeah SIGN ME UP!
I was disturbed and confused by the concept of an Electoral College (it doesn't matter how many times you recount the votes, or whether ballots were influenced - our vote is only a suggestion. The Electoral College guys get to do the actual deciding.) and I learned about it right around the time that we had a vote on whether or not to build a new stadium. We, the taxpayers, voted no. Then there was another vote. Still no. They did it anyway. And then a vote to refurbish the old stadium. We voted no. They did it anyway again! And we still voted those yahoos back into office! And our reward? They upped our state sales tax to almost 10%! Since it was clear that my vote doesn't count, I lost most of my ambivalence, and became more couldn't-be-bothered.
So I ignored my absentee ballots for a few years, then got a letter in the mail forwarded to me (in my name!) from the wrong address saying that unless I sent the card back a week prior, they would stop sending me ballots. Uh. Okay. More years went by. More voting opportunities ignored. Until 2008.
My husband dragged me and our newborn to our local poling place (even though he had an absentee ballot sitting on the railing at home) and figured out which district we were in (by going to each district's table and having them look him up until they found him.) But they didn't find me. Huh. So I did a 'provisional ballot' which is apparently code for 'will throw it in the trash' based on my experiences this voting period! But back then I was all excited to be part of making history! (I voted for Obama.We still have our ballot stubs... Mostly because we're slobs, more than sentimental reasons...)
They wouldn't let us take the mewling infant into the polling booth with us (blatant little seditionist! She'd try and sway our votes!) so we took turns dragging around her bucket car seat while the other voted. Hooray! Job well done! Or so I thought...
More ballots ignored. At some point recently, I received an email about how much abuse and suffering the suffragettes went through to earn my right to vote as a woman, and it was really very ghastly and moving. So I was already leaning towards maaaaaybe being guilted into thinking about voting again. But then a few months ago, my harpy sister nagged at me to vote in the primaries, and when I told her my tale of woe, printed out forms to send in to register, update my address (even though I already had) and my name (when I had moved and registered, I wasn't yet married.) Bleah. Fine. She even put a stamp on it and marched it out to the mailbox, since, by my apathetic response, I clearly couldn't be trusted.
So after a deluge of slick tagboard mailers and annoying phone calls with no one to yell at or threaten; countless Facebook posts, links and arguments on political issues, candidates, calls to get off my duff and vote, and general ambivalence on my part, I get a call during lunch after gym class on Tuesday. From my sister. Reminding me to vote. I told her I hadn't received an absentee ballot, even though we had done the forms months ago, and our state is now mandatory mail-in voting. So she called my mom and had her use the intarweb to find the local polling places. A 30 minute drive, a 25 minute drive, or a 30-minute drive. Ughhhhh.
I'm part of what I call the "Tee hee hee Party" - you know, like when the police officer asks me "Can you describe the car that hit you? What model?" My answer would be "White. Tee hee hee." I tend to vote the same way. Democratic females whenever possible, then Democratic males and/or names I like or saw more posters for. Seriously. Women died for my right to vote randomly and ambivalently and I fully intend to exercise that right, when I feel like it. Or whatever.
[Warning: Events exaggerated for comedic effect. Plus some cussing. That part was real.]
So I took my child who refused to eat her lunch and didn't want to go home for a nap, and was now an hour into nap time, on a drive, figuring she could finish her nap in the parking lot at the polling place, and I could wake her early, so we wouldn't be up too late with her later. No dice. Not only did she not sleep, Every. Tiny. Little. Thing. Was. A. National. Emergency. I was ready to pitch her out the window and head to Mexico.
I snaked slowly through an overcrowded parking lot on a 1-way lane with traffic going TWO WAYS, until I finally found a parking spot. I dragged Her Royal Highness and one toy "NO, ONLY ONE! PICK ONE ALREADY!" into apparently the wrong side of the building, up 1,000 flights of stairs, to find a line with the approximate population of a small country. Ugh.
The sign said:
"Voter Registration, Handicap accessible voting [arrow pointing right]
[arrow pointing left] Electronic polling"
Guess which way the line went? [If you guessed "arrow pointing right" you would be correct.]
So after hours of snarling and crying and whining, plus her delightful behavior, I find out that not only can I not take her into the polling booth with me ("Oh, sure, can I leave her with this skeevy stranger behind me? Thanks.") but THIS WASN'T EVEN THE LINE FOR VOTER REGISTRATION!!!
That's right. THE SIGN WAS TURNED AROUND! AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!
So I get in the correct line,which actually has no line, and after looking me up by name, maiden name and birth date, she tells me that my voter's registration was cancelled, and the due-date to have signed up was Monday. Whuuuuuuuuck? And they still had my maiden name, which means they completely ignored the forms we sent.
Double whuck?! I even waited for a supervisor or something, who said I could do a provisional ballot, but I'd have to GET BACK IN LINE.
I filled out another voter registration form, but I have no faith that they'll actually be bothered, considering the last forms I filled out apparently got filed in their "most important" file (the garbage) and the last "provisional ballot" I did was not only ignored, but I didn't even get a follow-up, telling me that my vote didn't count, maybe I should re-register. (I had to list all my info on that ballot, so they totally knew how to get ahold of me!)
There was nothing on the ballot important enough to me to wait in line for THE FIRST TIME, and it was SUCH A TREAT with Bitchy McBitcherson in tow. And they wouldn't even let me bring her into the booth with me. So they can all suck donkey balls. I hope whoever I would have voted for loses by 1 vote. I am so pissed off that I went to all this trouble for something I didn't even care much about in the first place. Argghhhhh! I want to punch someone in the face.
I could have just registered at the library. At least then I'd have been able to return my overdue books and get some new ones. Maybe a book on ninja fighting moves, or throat-punches...

I vote because people worked to make it happen, but it makes me feel stupid and underinformed.
Neil November 4, 2010 at 8:16 AM
I also used to love politics and found voting to be a very moving experience. But like many of us do as we get older, we learn the truth: that much of it is a game. And yeah, the phone calls and mailings during election season are truly annoying. I still voted, and I think it is important, but somehow my heart wasn't as excited this time.
Hey I really enjoyed reading your blog. I would just like to help any one in the east texas area, any one need help with fences aluminum fences,gate openers, swing gates,slide gate, cedar fences, privacy fences, phone systems. Please visit http://easttexasfence.com// .

wow, that sounds horrible! apparently, in ND they are much more relaxed. i walked up the road with my baby in a stroller to our polling place at an elementary school. we had moved in May, and never registered, but they had me on their list anyways. our "booths" are more like tiny plastic desks to stand at, without a curtain, so I just wheeled my baby with me. The nice old people manning the polling place even joked about how he helped me vote and gave him an "I Voted" sticker. that being said, I only voted so I would have the right to bitch and complain about the politicians.
Ludicrous Mama November 6, 2010 at 2:56 AM
Voting makes me feel like I'm in Middle School again. "Pssst. What did you put for number 6?" I just copy my husband, sister or dad's views mostly, or else I disagree with their view on something and vote the other way. Either way, they do all the legwork, and I steal their cribnotes.
I do have opinions and political views and such... just mostly can't be bothered to think them up!

City of Chicago sues US Steel over Indiana…
City of Chicago sues US Steel over Indiana plant's spills
PUBLISHED: January 24, 2018 at 3:05 pm | UPDATED: July 27, 2018 at 5:13 am
CHICAGO (AP) — The city of Chicago is suing U.S. Steel, alleging it violated federal law with discharges of a potentially carcinogenic chemical last year from a northwest Indiana plant.
The federal lawsuit filed Wednesday comes a week after the Surfrider Foundation's Chicago chapter filed a similar suit against the steelmaker.
Chicago's complaint alleges U.S. Steel violated the Clean Water Act and its wastewater permit with illegal discharges from its Portage, Indiana, plant into a Lake Michigan tributary about 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of Chicago.
The suit said those violations occurred during an April 2017 spill of nearly 300 pounds (135 kilograms) of hexavalent chromium, and an October chromium spill. Both spills reached the Burns Waterway, which flows into the lake.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement that U.S. Steel's alleged actions threaten Lake Michigan — Chicago's "most precious natural resource."
U.S. Steel issued a statement saying it's reviewing the complaint.
"We have worked cooperatively with government and regulatory entities to swiftly correct the issues at our Midwest Plant in Portage, Indiana," the Pittsburgh-based company's statement said. "We believe that protecting our water resources is of critical importance and have taken multiple steps to improve our environmental performance company-wide."
Last April's spill prompted the temporary closure of several beaches in northwest Indiana, while a utility that operates a water treatment plant at nearby Ogden Dunes temporarily stopped drawing water from an intake on the lake as a precaution.
The beaches reopened and the utility resumed drawing water after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found no traces of hexavalent chromium.
The EPA has said that chemical, a toxic byproduct of industrial processes, might be carcinogenic if ingested.
The 2000 film "Erin Brockovich" was based on a utility's disposal of water laced with hexavalent chromium in unlined ponds near Hinkley, California. That disposal method polluted drinking water wells and resulted in a $333 million settlement.


Subclass of Struts's TilesRequestProcessor that autowires Struts Actions defined in ContextLoaderPlugIn's WebApplicationContext (or, as a fallback, in the root WebApplicationContext).
Behaves like DelegatingRequestProcessor, but also provides the Tiles functionality of the original TilesRequestProcessor. As there's just a single central class to customize in Struts, we have to provide another subclass here, covering both the Tiles and the Spring delegation aspect.
Fetch ContextLoaderPlugIn's WebApplicationContext from the ServletContext, falling back to the root WebApplicationContext. This context is supposed to contain the Struts Action beans to delegate to.

Raising salaries for appointed Department Heads, Deputies, or Councilmembers.
Raising property taxes for the Homestead, Residential, Agriculture, or Commercial tax classes.
Resolution to repeal Councilmember term limits.
Provisional Ag designation in the General Plan Update.
Small incremental change is best. These types of changes are longer lasting without the whiplash to drastic change. Change nonetheless needs to occur with government support.
Relationships are so important even when conflict amongst leaders is difficult. We must enlist mature leaders to stay connected to what people are expressing amidst confusion, frustration, and anger.
Inclusive decision-making allows trust to thrive and provides safety for open and productive sharing.
Listening and providing an avenue for community voices is so important to keep people engaged.
We must be accountable and responsible for preserving the reserve limits necessary for organizational health.
Increasing our recycling program is a must. I made a concerted effort to ban polystyrene this term, but I did not have support from the Administration and Council to move forward with meaningful legislation.
Creating and holding a space in our Council process to allow productive and passionate conflict with aloha to fully explore opportunities and problem solve with all Councilmembers and the community.
Accountability involves a clear pathway and process for all involved.

Like people would say, appearance says a lot, creating a professional website is a vital factor when it comes to designing a website, it gives your business the first impression it deserves, and tells your visitors how professional the service or product you offer is. Whether you are building a website for business or personal use, its design matters a lot and plays a vital role in the success of the website, not giving your website the professional look it deserves might cause you more than you would expect as it sends the visitor a bad message about the product or service you offer.
Do you need to create a professional website? Then worry no more as I will discuss things you should know and share some useful tips for designing a good looking website.
The first thing you should consider when creating a website is its purpose, what product or service will it be offering, that determines how a website looks, a typical example of this is a website design for eCommerce and a website for content marketing, obviously they would both offer different things and so their layout would be different. So, getting to know the purpose of your website will give you a clear image of how it will look.
Just like house amidst houses, a domain name is your address people on the internet will use to find you. The domain name plays a vital role in your website creation as it gives users a foresight of your website, what product or service it offers. Without a domain name, there is no website!
Tips: Use your main keyword in your domain name, this makes it relevant, Imagine seeing the domain name techlug.com, the name has already saved you the story of telling the world what your website is all about, a user interested in tech will check it out to find out more about it.
Also, make it as short and memorable as you possibly can, this makes it easy for people to remember.
In case your website is targeting a specific country, you can pick the country specific domain such as .com.ng(Nigeria) .co.uk (for the United Kingdom), com.au (Australia), .de (Germany) and the likes.
Make sure you register your website domain name with the company of good reputation to avoid jeopardy. Using the Wix website builder, you will be eligible for a free domain name for the first year.
Buying hosting is like buying a part of the land where you build your house on, obviously, you can't build a house without a land to build it on. When purchasing hosting from a web host provider, you are renting space on their server for your website files to reside. There are different host providers with different plans and different prices.
Tips: If you want to get hosting for a small blog or a simple website where you will upload information about the services and products your company is offering, a shared hosting plan should be ok. However, if your website receives thousands of daily visitors, you might need to upgrade to a dedicated server. And If you plan on selling products online, probably an eCommerce website, going for a VPS(virtual private server) would be a good idea as this will give you a higher control and security over your website. You can host your website on Wix.com for maximum optimization, easy setup, a free domain name for the first year and other amazing features.
After getting your domain name and hosting in place, the next thing is to develop your website and give it a professional look. Ohh! I don't know how to write PHP/HTML/CSS code, don't worry, There are tools such as Website Builders you can use to create professional looking, fully functional websites in a short time.
Website Builders are tools used to build websites even without knowing how to code, it comes with an easy drag and drops functionality which gives you the ability to customize your website. website builders come with ready-made templates for different niches, which can be customized.
Tips: It is very important that you optimize your website for search engines, structure the URLs, titles, headlines, meta tags and content of your website properly for better optimization. Use fonts that would be easy to read across all devices and browsers. Also, use a professional logo of a high-resolution image but make sure you make it as light as possible to avoid it from increasing your website load time.
Try and arrange your website layout well to give it a good look and make it mobile friendly.
If you want to find more tips professional website design check this post from the Wix blog.


While wondering about writing this blog post on craft beer, I did some research on the topic and found articles on why craft beer is so popular these days. It got me thinking, why do I like craft beer?
Craft beer or Microbrewery has become trendy and, even more than trendy, it has become ingrained in our popular culture. The craft beer industry has been around for some time now; I recall my first experience with craft beer at a local pub in St. Catharines, ON. I enjoyed the experience because there was something local, traditional, refreshing about both the ambiance of the pub and the beer; from the people sitting next to you at the bar who you knew where from somewhere in town, to the waitress on the other side of the bar encouraging you to try one of the several flavours and tastes on the board beside her. The ample choice of beer provides something of an experiment as you taste different flavours; it also gives you also a chance to find your own favourite beer.
It is often cited that Craft breweries face challenges and stiff competition, ranging from the bureaucracy at the LCBO to monopoly at the Beer Store respectively. And after years of travelling, leaving the small city for big cities and for big brand name beers. I return to craft beer writing on the subject and thinking not only about how craft beer has become popular but also about how do I collaborate with microbreweries to further popularize craft beer. Our role at Coding Canada is to supply Date Coding Printers that apply a mark to items such as beer bottles, cans and boxes. Our printers provide a choice of the style and colour of the font used and helps microbreweries efficiently meet LCBO regulations. The LCBO product packaging standards state in section 1.3.1: "Dot matrix and ink-jet are acceptable formats for printing markings onto corrugated fibreboard shipping containers". Linx date coders are able to print on various surfaces with various ink densities to provide a clear contrast between the corrugate and the ink.

However, following successful negotiations between Formula 1, the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC) and Silverstone Circuit, a new contract through to 2024 was signed on Tuesday in London.
But the race at the Northamptonshire circuit will begin at 2:10pm - just after the start of the men's singles final at Wimbledon and midway through the final at Lord's, where England may be attempting to win a first ever Cricket World Cup.
"It's not going to be an easy weekend for us so it's really just about being diligent, making sure we've left no stone unturned".
"As drivers, we always try to be as close as the rules limit us, so I will definitely change a little bit and adjust a little bit my aggression". Red Bull were a bit off but now they have a new engine I expect them to be better.
But Hamilton, who has won six races this season and leads the championship by 31 points from team-mate Valtteri Bottas, said he expected Mercedes to be stronger at Silverstone than they were at the Red Bull Ring.
But the five-time world champion is taking nothing for granted this weekend, having lost out to Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel here previous year and seen his run of four straight victories come to an end in Austria a fortnight ago when Red Bull's Max Verstappen claimed top spot on the podium.
A win on Sunday would break Alain Prost and Jim Clark's joint record of five British Grand Prix victory.

'We don't approach weekends with a negative, ' said Hamilton.
"We're fully aware that the Ferraris and the Red Bulls have taken a step forward, and the pace that they had in the last race was great". Ferrari were quick here a year ago.
"I've been really privileged to come here and have some spectacular races", he added.
"It's definitely been the best start to a season I've had and it's insane to think where we are now", Hamilton said.
Neither should be a factor in Sunday's British Grand Prix, and Hamilton is hoping that it means he'll be back at the front before his home crowd. I think it's important to put that stuff out of your head and focus on the job at hand.
"It might be a more hard weekend but we'll give it everything and hopefully [get] a good result at the end of the weekend". 'The sheer magnitude of it and how many people come here - it's a special weekend. There is excitement and adrenaline going and there are pressures.
"This weekend it will be closer". I feel like there have been other incidents in the past, which have been less big in a way, and have been penalised.
However, following successful negotiations between Formula 1, the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC) and Silverstone Circuit, a new contract through to 2024 was signed on Tuesday in London.But the ra...

Q: Installing Python debug symbols for Visual Studio My end goal is to debug a Python script which calls my own COM dll written in C++. Using Python 3.8, in MS Visual Studio Community 2019.
My main problem is debugging. MSVC is constantly asking for debug symbols for Python38.dll, and failing to hit breakpoints.
In my Python project, Debug Properties, if DO NOT check 'Enable Native Code Debugging', then my Python runs and stops correctly at breakpoints that I have set. The COM dll is failing on an assertion (which is what I am trying to debug), and I get the option to 'Retry to Debug' ... but nothing happens, and my python code ends (The program 'python3.8.exe' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).)

If I DO check 'Enable Native Code Debugging', the programme ignores my Python breakpoints, and pops up this window:

If I choose 'Close' then Visual Studio starts to run the Python script (without hitting any Python script breakpoints), the assertion is hit, and choosing 'Retry' opens my C++ code at the offending line (which is at least helpful up to a point). The same COM dll works fine if driven from VBA in Excel, so I suspect I have an issue with parameter passing via win32com.client, so I want to check if the dll is receiving what I think I am sending: hence the requirement to debug.
If I do 'Open the Symbols Settings Dialog', I get this:

Where you can see that I have followed the MS instructions on their website, and used the Python 3.8 installer to install the symbols. The directory C:\Program Files\Python38 does indeed contain python38.pdb. I suspect Visual Studio is loading python from somewhere else? Have I installed the symbols in the wrong place?
I would like to be able to step through my Python code (hitting breakpoints where marked), and also hit breakpoints in the C++ code. Is this possible, and if so, how do I set up my Visual Studio to play nicely with Python 3.8?

A: If anyone did wade all the way through the question, the solution that worked for me was to:

*

*Heed the MSVC warnings that debugging Python 3.8 is not supported

*Uninstall / Re-install Python 3.7 from python.org for all users (so to C:\Program Files\Python37), specifying that I wanted the symbols (custom install)

*Ensure PYTHONPATH was set to C:\Program Files\Python37

*In Visual Studio change the global default environment to Python 3.7

*Add C:\Program Files\Python37 to the symbol search path (Debug Options)

*Re-add all the packages that I needed to the 3.7 environment

When I run a python script now from VS, I can see that the command window has C:\Program Files\Python37\python37.exe
Checking 'Enable Native Code Debugging' now not only hits my Python breakpoints, but also any breakpoints in my C++ (when the file is open).
One fly in the ointment is that the Debugger spends a long time loading symbols for all of the individual python packages. I have tried specifying that I only want symbols for my COM dll, but to no avail. I start the Debugger and then surf SO looking at Q&A until I hit the first breakpoint some time later ...
If anyone has a fix for this, I'd love to hear it.

Andre Villas-Boas And The Future

LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 29: Andre Villas-Boas holds a shirt as he is unveiled as the new Chelsea Manager during a press conference at Stamford Bridge on June 29, 2011 in London, England. (Photo by Clive Rose/Getty Images)
Nine months ago, double-winning manager Carlo Ancelotti was sacked. It didn't take Chelsea very long to replace him with Porto boss Andre Villas-Boas, who had won the Primeira Liga and the UEFA Cup Europa League in his first year in charge. Most (including me) were fairly giddy with the appointment. Villas-Boas was young, smart and exciting.
Since his appointment, Villas-Boas has lost some of his lustre. He's been drawn into fights with the press, the results haven't been nearly as good as we'd have liked, the kids aren't playing and there are rumours of rifts in the dressing room. Fortunately, the manager knows that things aren't good enough right now - but he's committed to the 'project' regardless.
Are we a better team than in September? No, not really. The beginning of the season were our best results. We were solid, creative, positive. At this level, you shouldn't be allowed a transitional year, but the project for next year is good and is being built and we believe a lot in it, so we will be able to compete at a different level [next year].

Personally, I'm pretty vexed at some of the things Villas-Boas has done. It's difficult not to look at Chelsea's defensive structure without wincing, and being in fourth place after our long run of top three finishes is fairly embarrassing. I know it's silly to expect us to breeze through the Premier League, but after so many years of success, it's difficult not to.
However, I share the enthusiasm for Villas-Boas's long-term plans. Chelsea need to rejuvenate the squad and everything is pointing to a complete revamp this summer. Despite my reservations about what's going on in the here and now, I'm still pretty excited about the future. I remain convinced that the Blues are going to come good under AVB's leadership. The man has his warts, so I can see people falling off the bandwagon... but as far as I'm concerned, things still look pretty good in the long run.
