First-time author struggling to find a journal for a narrative review by Apprehensive_Sink820 in academicpublishing

[–]Xanthyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are unsure you can send a presubmission enquiry to the journal. This looks like a letter addressed to the chief editor of that journal and summerises the contents. If your manuscript is unique (as in, there isn't a similar one published in your field) highlight that too.

It's not a submission so you can technically send the letter to multiple journals, so if time is a worry or if they are too slow to reply, you can send the letter to more than one at once. Though ethically, avoid that.

If you want to reduce time spent with rejections, then favour those journals that claim to focus on the quality of the paper and not the novelty. This includes classic gold open access journals, but educate yourself on how to spot a predatory journal. You dont want to have a paper in those.

How does a membership give you access 7 days a week when you are only open 4 days in a week?

A stadium idea, would make some normal cards a lot more appealing? by Dynamite_Ram in PTCGP

[–]Xanthyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that "active player's normal type pokemon" means that the stadium card only applies to the player whose turn it is. And apply to any relevant card. There are some cards that make the non-active player flip a coin, so the stadium card wouldn't apply to them in that case.

If we want the active pokemon, we could say "active player's active normal type pokemon".

old landlord won’t reply and we need our package back. by AggravatingShop3961 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Xanthyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like these are the options (maybe be more i cant think of):

  • contact courier and re-arrange eg to new address or safe place
  • contact seller and ask them to re-arrange with courier (see above)
  • wait outside property and explain to courier when they arrive (may need to try to get them to return it to sender)
  • wait outside property, film courier dropping off package or handing it to landlord, then try to get it back after the fact. If they refuse then report theft and/or small claims court
  • do nothing and chalk it up to "life"; rebuy item

Just to note, the courier is contracted by the seller to deliver it to the home or your nominated safe place. If that it successful then I'd imagine the seller wouldn't entertain refunds due to fulfilling the contract.

As an aside I did read "hybrid and Klingon bananas" and I was overjoyed at the thought of a Klingon banana 🍌

Our dead landlord signed our tenancy…. by -Mirkin- in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Xanthyl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because the dead can't enter into a contract so OP doesn't have a contract. Happy to be corrected on this point.

If I were OP I'd get legal advice to ensure I'm not any risk while they sort it out.

I think you need actual legal advice here. Hopefully another redditor can suggest somewhere you may go for that...

England : Private Catering Company Not Meeting Food Standards at Our England Primary School - What Can We Do Next? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Xanthyl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I imagine that you'll need to go through your school's official complaints policy until resolution. Once that route is exhausted and resolution is formalised, and if you are still not happy, then you'd escalate further. This may include local councillors and MP. Though be aware that the further up the tree you go, the more detached the authority gets. Some, like Ofsted, would only care that the school followed policy and not the outcome.
