JC Penney to File Bankruptcy, Plan to Close 200 Stores Could Include CNY
The coronavirus has proven to be the final straw for JC Penney - means another empty store at Sangertown and Destiny USA.
JC Penney, which is a major anchor store at both Sangertown Square in New Hartford, and Destiny USA in Syracuse, and has a location at Freedom Plaza in Rome, filed for bankruptcy after missing two multi-million dollar debt payments in May.
The 118-year-old retailer has accrued over $4 billion (yes, billion with a B) in debt as it tries to keep the company afloat. JC Penney employs 85,000 people and has roughly 850 stores across the US. Even before coronavirus hit the retail sector, the company had been struggling to keep up with online competition from Amazon and discount retailers like TJ Maxx and Marshalls.
Reuters reports as part of bankruptcy plans being considered, JC Penney would close 200 stores, and split into two companies: one would hold the company's real estate and the other would control the retail business.
JC Penney has announced plans to close their stores at Sangertown Square, Destiny USA, and Freedom Plaza in Rome. Syracuse.com released the list of New York stores.
Finger Lakes Mall, Auburn
Batavia City Centre, Batavia
Roseland Shopping Center, Canandaigua
Sangertown Square Mall, New Hartford
Oswego Plaza, Oswego
Freedom Mall, Rome
Retail has suffered under the coronavirus lockdowns. J.Crew and luxury retailer Neiman Marcus have both filed for bankruptcy in recent weeks.

Located in North Randall, Ohio, Thistledown Racecourse is gearing up for some top class racing tomorrow with the 26th running of the Best of Ohio series, featuring five stakes for Ohio-bred thoroughbreds. In what will be Ohio's richest racing day this year, the eight-race card offers $350,000 in prize money. Among the contestants are Blazing Bling and Disappeared – two superb two-year-old fillies trained by Tim Hamm at the Blazing Meadows Stable. The two fillies have been entered in the Best of Ohio Juvenile Stakes for two-year-old fillies and colts, which carries a purse of $75,000, as well as the John W. Galbreath Stakes for two-year-old fillies – but Hamm has reportedly not yet decided which filly will compete in the all-fillies race and which will compete against the colts. Both races are run over a distance of 1 1/16 miles.
The best of Ohio Endurance for three-year-olds and up, run over 1 1/4 miles, has Eyes Super Freaky as the favorite in the field of eleven. The three-year-old has won his last three races which included the Cleveland Gold Cup at 1 1/8 miles and the Governor's Buckeye cup at 1 ¼ miles and has a record of 4-2-2 from eleven starts. The colt is trained by Gary King and will have jockey Luis A. Gonzalez on board. Eyes Super Freaky's main challengers are likely to be Raise the Reward and Bold Captain.
The $75,000 Best of Ohio Distaff, covering a distance of 1 1/8 miles, has a field of 13 fillies and mares competing, with Startin Something as one of the favorites to win. The Timothy Hamm-trained four-year-old filly has earnings of $336,495, and her wins include the Rose DeBartolo Memorial, the Angenora Stakes and Theodore F. Classen Memorial. De Shawn Parker will be riding Startin Something, as well as Blazing Bling and Disappeared. Multiple stakes winner Aggressive Elegance is thought to be Startin Something's most serious challenger.
The six-furlong, $50,000 Best of Ohio Sprint has a field of seven, including Sneak a Cold Treat, the winner of last year's race. Trained by Jeff Radosevich, Sneak a Cold Treat will be ridden by Scott Spieth. Reggies Cat and Royal Nemesis are slated as Sneak a Cold Treat's top opponents. Enjoy a day at the races at Thistledown Racecourse.

Q: VSCode auto imports broke since adding absolute imports (NextJS + Typescript project) One of the NextJS projects I've been working on recently has become complex and some of the file import paths were looking extremely messy, i.e. import { AuthHelper } from '../../../lib/auth
I decided to use absolute imports to get around this, so my imports now look like import { AuthHelper } from '@/lib/auth'.
Since changing my tsconfig auto imports have broken inside of my VSCode and nvim setups.

I've tried changing "typescript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier": "non-relative" to both non-relative and auto but auto importing still doesn't work.
Am I missing anything else?

Frequency minded music is a conscious intention to introduce you a to consistent frequency or tone throughout the duration of a song using various genres of music and tempos. In a sense it is the merging of two worlds or even two schools of thought, that of sound healing and that of traditional music.
This can be achieved by various techniques and styles anything from different alternate tunings, different instrumentation and even computer and technology based applications.
There are many different frequencies available. At Listening to Smile, we use a wide range of frequencies in our compostitions. Everything from the Solfeggio scale, Schumann resonances, chakra frequencies, planetary frequencies, channeled frequencies and many more. Click here for more information on sound healing.
Listening to Smile believes that all music can be healing when used with the right intentions. We see vibration of light and sound in everything around us down to the basic building blocks of life. If there is a disruption of an energy, we believe there is a frequency for that. A counter measure frequency that can be introduced to assist in the restoration of that energy. Click here for more information on scared frequencies.
Our music is made with heart and the intention to serve you, the listener. We strive to create results and challenge you while simultaneously creating an environment that is conducive for meditation, relaxation, and joy.
We compose our music with different needs in mind so we utilize our three path system to help guide you to the exact type of music you are in search of for your specific need.
It is shown that music improves our state of being and increases our physical and mental health. Music stimulates your brain to release dopamine - the transmitter that makes you feel good. Not only does it increase the "feel good chemicals", but it decreases levels of the stress hormone cortisol. By lowering our stress levels, our immune system can increase and work more efficiently. Tapping to the beat of the music can increase stress relieving effects even more. Drum circles have been found to be helpful in exactly this same way.
According to the World Health Organization, 350 million people worldwide suffer with depression. Usually depression can also interfere with our normal sleep patterns. Music can play a huge role in decreasing the symptoms of depression and even help with sleep. Hans Joachin Trappe studied this extensively. He even found how the type of music makes a difference in the results. Meditative and classical themed music helped the most with lifting the spirits of those suffering with depression.
Music can even help with physical pain. It was studied at Drexel University that music reduced pain in cancer patients. Again the type of music mattered. They found that meditative music played a big part in the results.
Music stimulates memory and cognitive function. A great example of this is how it impacts Alzheimer's patients and those with dementia. Patients responded well to listening to some of their favorite music. It helped them remember pieces of their lives. This could be because music awakens the areas of the brain that are still healthy. This was studied by Dr. Laura Mosqueda at the University of California.
Music also has shown great improvement with memory in students studying for exams. Students that study with music increased their chances of passing exams with high scores. Along with these findings, is a study at York University that showed music increased the verbal intelligence of children. Overall, those musically trained showed better overall verbal and memory skills. It also increases IQ and overall academic performance.
Check out how our music at Listening to Smile is unique and our method for creating music that heals.

Life for Victoria Lacey should be perfect. And it is - perfectly boring. Agree to marry a lord who has yet to inspire a single, solitary tingle? Why, of course.

What a girl wants...
Miss Viola Darling always gets what she wants. Always. And what she wants more than anything is to marry James Kilbrenner, the earl of Tannenbrook. She's fallen hard for the giant, taciturn, surly brute, and she positively will have no other. The problem? He's not interested. Not even a little. But Viola cannot afford to lose. And she has her heart set on James. If only he will bend to a bit of persuasion.
...is an earl like no other...
James Kilbrenner knows how determined the entirely too beautiful Miss Darling can be - the daft woman cornered him at a perfectly respectable dinner and mangled his cravat before he could escape. He has no desire to marry, less desire to be pursued, and will certainly not kiss her kissable lips until they are both breathless, no matter how tempted he may be.
...and only the right one will do....
Thrown in her path by a meddling marchioness, James finds himself under sensual siege from a tiny, flirtatious sprite who puts both his heart and his vow to remain unwed at risk. And when scandal looms, he learns the hard way that a man can resist only so long before the indomitable Miss Darling gets her way.
Contains mature themes.

What listeners say about When a Girl Loves an Earl
Wanda Spinner
Ms. Braden knocks it out of the park again.
This is a great story. I really like the in's and out's of the characters in each other's story because you get to find out how their stories start and continue from book to book. I have enjoyed each and every book in this series. Viola is a rare beauty and petite in size, while James is such a giant of a man it makes you wonder how are they going to fit. It is the lovely Viola who turns out to be time enough for the big man James, in spite if their mix match sizes. It was a lot of fun finding out how they made it work, and turned out to be perfect for each other.

Best of the Series
I have enjoyed this series but this one Was the best. The unusual story line where girl goes after her reluctant man was awesome. He resists until she catches him. The ending was so sweet. Way to entertain Elisa. Great narrator who performed rather than read. A 5 star audible.
I love James character, but the way the heroin just got her way is not unrealistic. There was no great work on her part. All of a sudden James just loved her, she was perfect in an u unrealistic way and while I love Happy end most of these story have no real fight in them especially when it comes to the women. It's always the men who are in the wrong and whenever a situation arise in where the heroin does something wrong it's quickly glossed over and easily resolved. Again unrealistic!!! Even for fictional characters
She will not take NO for an answer
Another beautifully written book and Mary Sarah is a great narrator. Loved the book. Viola Darling fell in love with James even before she met him. But once she saw his heroism she knew she wanted to marry him. James the Earl of Tannenbrook became and Earl when he was 17 years old even though he wasn't raised that away. He was working to be a black smith/stone mason. He tells his girl he will be back for her. When he does return a year later he finds out that not only has she married but she was pregnant with his child and he died after he was born. Stricken that he was never told he proclaims he will never marry. But when he meets Viola a beautiful dainty creature he just might change his mind. Viola tries to entice him at every encounter to no avail. When they are at a house party together she is desperate. A wonderful story about finding your one true love.

James ❤
The character of James is so honestly appealing, his character heartwarming and sensual. The Scot is sexy!

I liked the book but at times it seemed to drag....overall it was good and I enjoyed it.

Dreadful dreadful narrator. Story ok
This is driving me mad. I don't mind this author, the stories aren't bad but Mary Sarah is APPALLING!!! Really!!! I've never heard so many mispronunciations!! I get it, their supposed to be posh, but that isn't even how English posh people speak! She's so obviously an American doing her best, but no. Just NO. Totally spoils my enjoyment and she's reading so many stories on Audible!Ugh! I'm now actively avoiding books read by her. Shame for the authors as I buy lots of books!

About Olmec
Olmec is a BME led Social Enterprise which champions race equality through economic and social justice. We support people into jobs, into social businesses and on to Boards. We work as a catalyst for social change.
It is time to face facts. It is time to acknowledge racism in the UK. It is time to address our present and understand the past. Teach the true horrors of Britain's colonial past in our schools. Time to tackle the structural causes of racism. Time for black and brown voices to be heard, not marginalised. And to paraphrase the Green movement's maxim, time to think and link racism globally and act locally.
John Mayford, Olmec CEO. June 2020.
"Black lives matter because, yes, we are human. But unfortunately, the way that the world has been shaped, over the last 400 years, we have been made subhuman and we need to bring humanity back."

"Why do black lives matter? I think the question is more, why do we need to tell anybody that at all? We deserve the same love and care, the same smiles when you greet us and the same support and recognition as the rest of the global community

My HOBY Story
I am Matthew Santos, and to be honest, I didn't know what to expect about HOBY, the Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership. Initially, I thought it would be another boring leadership seminar. But I was very wrong.
When I got to Wesley College in Dover, the HOBY staff greeted me in a way I hadn't expected. They cheered, "You are outstanding, O-U-T-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G!" I remember thinking to myself, "Oh man . . . What did I get myself into?" To wake us up on a cloudy Friday morning, the first thing we learned were cheers, specifically the Outstanding cheer that welcomed me. I initially thought it was weird, but by the end of the seminar I was fully immersed in the cheering; everyone else was, too. We had such great energy and passion.
At the Delaware seminar, I learned many things about leadership I had never considered. We learned about personal and group leadership. We incorporated our leadership into the hours spent doing community service in a local Dover park while also learning about the importance of communication. We had great panelists such as Senator Chris Townsend and the founder of DMA that taught us how to incorporate leadership into own own lives.
Another amazing thing about the Delaware seminar was that I was able to connect and make friends with students all over the state. It also gave me the chance to reconnect with several friends and students from Independence. Just after spending a weekend with other HOBY sophomores, I had already decided it was the best summer ever. I thought HOBY Delaware was amazing, but it turns out the HOBY World Leadership Congress, WLC, was even better.
HOBY WLC was held in Chicago in July. The theme was LiveHoby, with One Republic's "I Lived" as our theme song. We did so many fun things. Of course, we did all the cheers in the Delaware seminar, but many more. The cheers were energizing. All of us, around 450 students, went to the Museum of Science and Industry, toured Chicago, sang in the HOBY Choir, watched fireworks, and even had a dance party on the last night. I got the chance to meet hundreds of interesting people from all over the world, with life stories much more impressive than mine. Ambassadors represented the United States, Canada, China, France, Italy, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and even my home country of the Philippines. It was so interesting to talk with everyone because each person had their own unique story to tell.
One of my favorite moments at WLC was the international presentations because I learned so much more about other countries. Many people also had breathtaking talents, which made the talent show phenomenal. Although I met hundreds of people, I became really close to 13 people, who were part of my B4 group. By the end of the seminar, we were all crying, knowing that we may not see each other again. HOBY WLC had interesting, world-renowned speakers; they spoke with passion and charisma, something I would like to emulate in my own school presentations. They taught me about personal, group, and global leadership. So inspiring and driven, they encouraged me to go out and positively change the world.
Additionally, I loved all the service we did in Chicago. We went to Humboldt Park to clean up and beautify the park, saving thousands of dollars. As a result of the huge service project, I even got to be a part of CBS Chicago news! We packaged just under 53,568 lentil meals within a 45-minute span! Overall, HOBY was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience I will never forget, and I am so grateful to have been chosen to be a part of it. It has inspired me to look beyond myself and help others, to tackle problems big and small. Everyone at HOBY has encouraged me to LiveHoby, to help others who really need it and have also inspired me to spread HOBY, to inspire others who will make a positive difference in the world.

Podcast: How public practice needs to transform
This week's episode puts the P in "CPA" — because we're talking about public practice. What's going on with CPA firms these days, anyway?
Quite a bit, as it turns out. The world is changing, and with every change that the world experiences these days, the folks who work at CPA firms seem to get a double dose of it. They have to figure out how to embrace these changes and disruptions inside their own firms, but at the same time, they have to help their clients figure out what to do about all of this complexity.
Our guest, Lexy Kessler, has her fingers on the pulse of CPA firm challenges and opportunities more firmly than most people in the profession. In addition to being a partner with Aronson LLC and a member of the Maryland Association of CPAs' Board of Directors, Lexy is chair of the AICPA's Private Companies Practice Section, a group that supports CPA firms in the everyday intricacies of running a practice.
In this conversation, we cover:
What's keeping firm leaders up at night.
Examples of firms that are transforming successfully.
What the firm of the future might look like, given everything that's going on today.
Listen to my conversation with Lexy Kessler here.
Change you can believe in
Barry Melancon, president and CEO of the American Institute of CPAs, says we may not recognize the vast majority of firms within the next five to 10 years. It's not exactly smooth sailing for folks in our profession these days, is it?
But what, exactly, are the issues that firms are dealing with? What's keeping these folks up at night?
We have some pretty good ideas. Tom Hood, president and CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs, recently surveyed the partners of more than 20 major firms about the programs they value most from their professional associations. Their answers looked like this:
Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, Robotic Process Automation, machine learning, and the like.
Legislative and regulatory advocacy.
Talent recruitment and retention.
Emerging leader development.
Learning and CPE.
Diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Anticipation — in other words, using strategic foresight to stay ahead of trends.
Helping accounting and finance pros become #FutureReady through upskilling and re-skilling.
By my count, out of those top eight, six of them are related directly to change, complexity, or hard trends that are impacting the profession — in other words, gearing them up for what's to come. That's a major shift. If you had asked them that question five years ago, CPE probably would have been number one, followed by regulatory changes and maybe staffing. This future-focused stuff wasn't even on their radar not too long ago.
That survey, by the way, was taken during one of Hood's regular meetings with the managing partners of Maryland firms. He started holding those meetings in the turbulent period after the Enron and Worldcom crises in the early 2000s, when the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was introduced and subsequently passed. One could argue that was the beginning of this "new normal" of change and complexity our profession has been dealing with lately. New technologies and social media made their entrance not long after that. Then, you had the recession of 2008, the advent of the cloud and A.I., and the Wild West-ifying of the political landscape. It's all happened within the past 20 years.
Importantly, these changes aren't going away — and research by the AICPA bears this out. The AICPA's Private Companies Practice Section publishes the results of a survey each year that tries to assess the top issues that are impacting firms of various sizes. Among firms of all sizes, recruitment and retention of top talent is probably the top issue. But not too far behind are things like keeping up with changing and complex laws and regulations, seasonality and workload compression, and privacy and security risks.
Things get really interesting when you start looking a little further down the road. Kacee Johnson, a strategic advisor with CPA.com and an earlier guest on our podcast, recently said the list of issues that firms say will impact them over the next five years include things like changing client needs and emerging technologies — things that didn't appear on that list even two years ago.
But that's indicative of the kind of world we're dealing with today, and nobody knows that better than our guest, Lexy Kessler.

How much money do you save a month since you quit alcohol?
We all love to have a good time and relax with a drink or two at a bar, nightclub or home. People rarely realize how much money they could save and put aside if they would cut back on alcohol spending. The situation certainly looks good for the beverage industry which cashes in around 23 billion dollars from alcohol sales.
In consumer terms, this means that alcohol lovers spend billions of dollars on alcohol consumption and they could certainly use the money on more efficient things. How much exactly is wasted on alcohol can be seen below in our review?
According to statistics, if you reward yourself with a beer or glass of wine every day after a meal, you already count to the 30% of top alcohol consumers. The shocking truth is that two drinks a day would earn you a rank in the top 20% of alcohol consumers in the USA.
The top 10% of alcohol drinkers comprise people who drink up to ten drinks a day, or 74 drinks a week.
Now let's get to the point and calculate how much consumers spend on the guilty pleasure. Heavy drinkers spend a lot on alcohol, the amount equalling a nice sum that could cover a new car or remodeling the house. If we take the average wine bottle price of $10, then a heavy drinker who takes around ten drinks per day would splurge $200 weekly on alcohol, which equals $10.000 per year. This only refers to those who drink in the comfort of their home and do not pay for ridiculously expensive drinks.
Those who like to treat themselves with a nice alcoholic beverage in the bar, usually end up having two drinks on average and they usually add a nice meal which costs them around $40 or $50 per night out. If you repeat this ritual two or three times a week, you realize that you spend from $100 to $150 a week which is almost as much as heavy drinkers spend on alcohol per week.
Further on, on weekends you will probably splurge more and have more than two drinks, and according to statistics, you will spend $100 before you know it only on yourself. If you are with a partner, multiple it by two. When you calculate it on a monthly, or even more shockingly on an annual basis, you will realize that you spend $5000-$7000 on your alcohol sprees. We are certain that you could use the money for a far better cause.
How Can You Save on Alcohol Consumption?
No one says that you have to give up drinking completely, but you could make a few arrangements in order to cut back on the money you waste on alcohol consumption. One of the tricks would be to decide on the amount you want to spend before you hit the bar and pay with cash only. Credit card payments often get out of control, and you are not even aware of how much it costs you when charged via card. On the other hand, cash payments enable you to see your money disappear literally and how much is left in your pocket. This will teach you a valuable lesson.Once you hit your target limit, you should know that it is time to hit the road back home.
Another good trick is to eat at home before you go to the bar. Appear with a full stomach, and you will be bale to resist the delicious but overpriced snacks and meals. Another alternative is to pre-drink at home before you hit the town.
Also, ordering water between your drinks while at the bar will keep you away from ordering a drink every 10 minutes and it will slow down your drinking. Happy hours are also a popular trick to save few bucks.

Former Venice High quarterback arrested for assault
Bryce Carpenter(Horry County Sheriff's Office)
By WMBF/WWSB
Published: Dec. 13, 2022 at 3:18 PM EST
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WWSB/WMBF) – A former Venice High School quarterback has been arrested in South Carolina after police say he threw a woman to the ground after making sexual advances toward her.
Bryce Carpenter is charged with third-degree assault and battery. The backup quarterback for Coastal Carolina University was suspended indefinitely from all football-related activities, the university said.
An incident report shows that officers were called early Sunday morning for a report of an assault.
The victim told Horry County police she was at a party at the location and while she was hanging out with Carpenter he started making sexual advances toward her, according to the incident report.
The report states that she moved away but he continued to follow her and tried to kiss and grab her.
"A short time later, other party goers saw what was happening and pulled him away from her," the incident report shows.
After he was pulled away from the victim, the incident report states that Carpenter went and sat on the sidewalk and the victim tried to talk with him because she "thought they were cool."
"At that time, the arrestee got up from the curb and attempted to advance on the victim again," the police report shows. "Victim stated that she pushed him away and the arrestee then grabbed her, picked her up and threw her onto the concrete sidewalk."
The incident report goes on to state that Carpenter also fell on top of the victim as he threw her on the ground.
The victim had minor scratches on her back and also had swelling on the back of her head.
Meanwhile, according to the incident report, Carpenter claims he never went to any parties and was home the entire time.
He was arrested and booked into J. Reuben Long Detention Center but was released on Sunday afternoon after posting a $2,500 bond.
Carpenter has played in 11 games this season and started in two of the games.
Coastal Carolina University released this statement following Carpenter's arrest:
"Coastal Carolina University student Bryce Carpenter has been suspended indefinitely from all football-related activities. All student conduct cases are handled through CCU's student conduct process. Due to the FERPA federal law, CCU is unable to release any other details."

Home Nepali News Local levels building perilous roads
Local levels building perilous roads
Arun Gautam July 11, 2019 Nepali News,
Kathmandu, July 11
On April 13, a jeep skidded off the road in Doti district and plunged 400 metres into a gorge, killing eight people and critically injuring two. Then on June 18, 15 people were killed in a similar accident when a jeep plunged into the Karnali River in Humla district.
Haphazardly built roads without consultation with engineers were cited as the prime reason for these accidents.
Yet, local bodies have been accelerating construction of roads without fulfilling the basic requirements, primarily hiring an engineer to ensure safety of the roads.
For example, more than 60 dozers have been mobilised in Ramechhap district to dig up roads as per the direction of heads of municipality/village municipality and ward chairs. What is worrisome is that construction works are being carried out without any consultation with engineers.
Dhawa Lama, chairman of Sunapati Rural Municipality of Ramechhap district, cited lack of engineers as the reason for building roads as per the recommendation and demand of the ward chairs and general people.
"We have formed a team comprising representatives of political parties, ward chair and locals to ensure that road construction works are being carried out properly," reassured Lama. However, he admitted that there were no engineers in the team. This basically means that there is no certain way of ensuring that the roads being built are actually safe.
According to Prabhat Chalise, a former senior engineer at the Department of Roads, such haphazard construction of roads in the name of development will surely result in loss of lives, not to mention economic and environmental damage.
Chalise said before construction of any road, a feasibility study in consultation with an engineer was a must to examine proper gradient, cost effectiveness, environmental impact, soil base and drainage, among other factors.
However, most local bodies have recently accelerated construction of roads with total disregard to safety as they rush to spend the allocated budget of this fiscal, which ends on July 16.
Such haphazard spending and construction works pose a danger to users of roads as well as the environment, warned Dinesh Poudel, a development expert.
Terming the trend as 'dozer terrorism' as it is resulting in more destruction than development, Poudel added that lack of oversight mechanism could also result in local bodies becoming a breeding ground for corruption.
Rajeshwor Gywali, spokesperson for the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, said that though they were aware of such haphazard construction being undertaken at local levels, there was not much they could do.
"With the decentralisation of authority, construction works at the local levels are no longer under our jurisdiction," he said, adding, "Which is why the ministry has not formed any oversight mechanism to monitor such kinds of development works."
In this scenario, local bodies should act more responsibly, said Poudel.
"Development at local levels is crucial for the prosperity of the nation, but it has to be properly planned so that risks can be mitigated," he said, adding, "After all, what is the point of building such roads that lead to hell?"

In The Heartless Boyfriend (Bad Boyfriend #2) by Erika Kelly, when her siblings decide she shouldn't receive the one thing her parents wanted her to have in their will, Delilah Lua leaves town and heads for Calamity, Wyoming and enters a cooking competition. Staying with Will Bowie and his adorable little sister is supposed to be temporary, but the more time she spends with him, the more she finds herself wanting to stay. Yet, when she's made an offer that seems impossible to refuse, will the pair fight for their happy ever after?
The first book of this series was an entertaining, emotional and fast-paced read, of which I loved from start to finish and this story was no different. Really, the main characters were absolutely fascinating and the hero's little sister was completely adorable; the dialogue was compelling and drew me in from the very beginning, as what the heroine's siblings do is completely unfair; and the plot was fast-paced and had me reading quickly, determined to discover what Will was willing to do to give Ruby the stability she deserved and had me wondering what the hero would do when faced with the possibility of the heroine walking away. Will the hero be able to convince the heroine to stay?
As for the dialogue, it was intense due to the main characters back stories and everything these two go through on their journey to happy ever after, as the heroine's siblings do wrong by her and what they do is so unfair. How could they treat her the way they do and not expect her to be upset? While the hero, I really felt sorry for him because of what happens to him. How could someone be such a bad sport? Why was the hero not willing to fight back against the things that were being said about him?
With the heroine, she's strong and brave when it comes to handling how her siblings have treated her and it's understandable why she needs to get away before she does something she'll regret. I also liked her determination for the competition and that she had faith in herself that she might win. Will she win? Yet, what I liked most of all about the heroine was the bond she shared with Ruby and how she challenges Will when it comes to his relationship with the little girl. All Ruby needs is love after all she's lost, not the routine and discipline Will was so determined for her to have. While the hero, he's a good brother; confident; driven when it comes to his career; and I liked how determined he was to do right by his little sister, even if he doesn't always make the best decisions as he navigates the situation with the newest addition to his family. I also liked the close relationships the hero had with his siblings and how determined they were to do what's right by their little sister because she needs them.
Overall, Ms. Kelly has delivered a really good read in this book where the chemistry between this couple was powerful; the romance was full of heat and passion and had me liking that these two took a chance on each other; and the ending had me loving the hero's determination to win the heroine back, especially after how he acted that sent her running and was the cause of their relationship going awry. I would recommend The Heartless Boyfriend by Erika Kelly, if you enjoy the friends to lovers trope, the mysterious strangers trope or books by authors Melanie Harlow, R.S Grey, Samantha Towle and Sarina Bowen.

And it's hard to win your woman back when the whole world's calling you The World's Worst Boyfriend.
The last thing on Calliope Bell's mind is getting back with Fin. Not when her life's just gone sideways, forcing her to spend the summer in Calamity, Wyoming. She can't be away from the New York art world this long, so she comes up with the idea to turn the hottest pop culture event of the moment into a museum exhibition.

'LET ME GO'
Husband of wedding scammer, 44, who conned dozens of couples out of thousands begs for divorce after she vanished

THE husband of a wedding scammer who conned dozens of couples out of thousands of pounds has issued a desperate plea for her to sign their divorce papers.
Carl Twidale, 47, has been estranged from his "wicked and twisted" wife Dana for four years after she scammed brides, grooms, catering firms, ex-boyfriends and even himself.

Wedding planner Dana, 44, pleaded guilty to 26 counts of fraud on May 10 after being accused of tricking couples out of thousands of pounds before they tied the knot.
But Carl has heard "nothing back" from his attempts to get his estranged wife to sign the divorce papers.
"I've talked to my solicitor and sent letters out to her mum's, her boyfriend's house, her flat and I've had nothing back," he told Yorkshire Live.
"She doesn't seem to be signing it even though we've got no property, kids or money between us. There is nothing tying us together - just the last name.
"Maybe she is trying to get all this done under Twidale so she can then go back to her previous names.
"It's very frustrating and I don't want it to impact my future."
'SO MUCH HEARTACHE'
In a direct plea to his Dana, Carl said: "Let me go and just let it go.
"She has caused so much heartache to everybody and I would love to speak to her boyfriend to ask him why she hasn't signed the paperwork."
He added: "It has been really tough. I've lived my life in the darkness with no lights on and it has been tough.
"I've had threats and I've had to hide my car just in case but on the plus side I've had other victims say 'we know you had no involvement and we want to stay friends'."
Carl hopes 'justice will prevail' when Dana is sentenced for fraudCredit: MEN Media

Allegations about Dana's fraudulent activity emerged in the summer of 2019 before she disappeared without a trace.
There were sightings of her in Tenerife, and in Hull, where she was living when she was accused of fraud.
Carl hopes "justice will prevail" when Dana is sentenced at Hull Crown Court next month.
"I've seen what people have said and they will want her to get jail time," he said. "I don't have a bad bone in my body and if she does jail time, she does jail time - that is up to the judge and I'm not going to say she should go down for life or anything but hopefully justice will prevail.
"I'm looking forward to going to court and I want her to see that I'm not affected and not bothered anymore."
'WICKED AND TWISTED'
One couple, Nicky and Jason Thorpe from Harrogate, Leeds, were allegedly conned when Twidale apparently went missing 24 hours before their wedding last July, it was reported last year.
Thorpe told Leeds Live she paid Dana "well over £2,000" - but was heartbroken to find an empty marquee two days before her wedding.
Speaking two years ago when the allegations first came to light, Carl said: "It was numbing to read about all the scams and I can't believe she has done this.
"When I first met her she was lovely, bubbly and you just wanted to be around her. Everybody would say the same but it seems that was all part of the act.
"There are no words. She is just wicked and it's twisted – you can't do the things she has done. It's one thing scamming people but preying on their vulnerabilities is just wrong.
"I've started to question now if I ever really knew who she was. She was my wife but I just don't know her anymore."

A spokesman for Humberside Police said: "Following a lengthy police investigation Dana Twidale has been charged with 26 cases of fraud by false representation.
"These charges have been brought following a number of reports of between 2018 and 2019 that she had fraudulently taken money from people while offering wedding planning services.
"On Monday 10 May Dana Twidale pleaded guilty to all charges at Hull Magistrates Court and is due to be sentenced on Monday 7 June."

I'm told it was a picture-perfect, Indian summer morning in mid-November when Jerry and Diane Lynch launched their new 38 Wilbur/Duffy Lonrach—the perfect day for a boat whose namesake means "brilliant" in Gaelic, to ease her hunter-green hull into the crisp, Maine water for her maiden voyage to her homeport in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Now a month later it's a beautiful, mid-December, Cape Cod morning. Wilbur Yachts' president John Kachmar, the Lynches, and yours truly are at East Marine, ready to take Lonrach for a wring-out. But today the mercury is registering a meager 16F, with winds out of the northeast at 15 mph. And as Lonrach's being hauled the next day for winter stowage, there's no delaying the test.
So, first things first. I test the radar gun to make sure it will work from inside. It will (yeehaw!), and no sooner than that, we're pulling away from the dock. As luck would have it, the radar gun doesn't register from inside, thanks to my meager 5'1" height, and so I must run the numbers from outside despite the arctic chill and a few numb fingers, it is still a brilliant day. Why? Well, quite simply, the 38 is a brilliant boat. Lonrach boasts many unique interior features (she is, after all, fully custom) that make her both classic and modern and a perfect fit for this soon-to-be-retired cruising couple.
The Lynches wanted an enclosed pilothouse to facilitate their plan of extended cruising up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Since they didn't use the flying-bridge helm on their previous 38 often (the boat also had a lower station) and figured they'd encounter low bridges along the way to Florida, the Lynches felt they'd be better off without it. So instead of sending the 38 into the yard for a refit, back to the drawing board they went. "We thought it was a brilliant idea to go into debt at our age and a brilliant idea to take on a project of this magnitude at our age," Jerry, who is in his 70's, tells me. And thus, $850,000 later (base price for the 38 Wilbur/Duffy is $500,250), Lonrach was born.
Four special engine mounts and a Soundown elastic coupling help to isolate engine vibration, and a Soundown axial exhaust system reduces exhaust noise. The package also includes what Soundown refers to as a "built-in-place insulation program." In the case of Lonrach, that means using damped aluminum panels on the overhead and forward and aft bulkheads backed with quarter-inch-thick Tuff-Mass Barrier, which adds sound-blocking capabilities by building up mass. In addition, the cockpit sole is floated (spring-mounted) to decouple it from engine-generated vibration, and absorption materials are concealed in the panels in the ceiling to further reduce any ambient sound.
The results are impressive: With the engine literally inches beneath my feet, the decibel meter registered a low 82 dB-A while running at WOT (65 is the level of normal conversation).
The 38's interior arrangement reflects Wilbur's knack for delivering what Kachmar says is a Wilbur trademark: "a high-quality boat, without the glitz." The first things I noticed upon stepping inside the saloon via the sliding door from the cockpit (the previous 38 had swing-out hinged doors) is the stunning woodwork and windows, 14 of them to be exact. The saloon is flooded with light, and teak abounds: in the overheads, under foot, in the handrails, on the back of the double-wide helm seat and port-side companion seat, in the china cabinet in the galley, and more. All this, plus custom upholstery on the settee to port—which converts to a double berth—and helm and passenger seats, creates an upscale yet understated Downeast look inside.
Interestingly, although Lonrach measures nearly 40 feet overall, the Lynches opted for a single-stateroom, two-head arrangement. The forepeak master has headroom in excess of seven feet and built-in stowage practically everywhere: under the queen-size island berth that's flanked with teak ceilings; in a six-drawer closet and hanging locker to port; and in another locker to starboard. What's really neat, though, are the two head compartments, aft of the master and accessible from a centerline companionway. Both have sinks, but the one to port also has a standup shower, and the one to starboard has an MSD, which Jerry and Diane like because they can both be getting ready at the same time.
They also like Lonrach's solid feel, which is due partly to a hull built with Vinylester resin and E glass that ranges in thickness from 3/8 to 11/2 inches and a hand-laid balsa-cored superstructure constructed with polyester resin and E-glass. As for performance, The Lynches say they're quite pleased with their new boat's seakeeping, although I wasn't able to evaluate it, as Nantucket Sound was flat-clam, and there weren't even any other boats around (can't imagine why) to generate wake. I can say that she was responsive, handled 360- and 180-degree turns tightly, without much outward lean and with little drop in rpm. I was also impressed that at her top speed of 31.1 mph, she burned just 38 gph, which works out to .82 mpg.
Despite the frigid conditions, I enjoyed my time with Lonrach. But alas, all good things must come to an end. Back at the dock, I asked Jerry whether it—the two-year wait for a boat, the monthly trips to the yard, the loan—was worth it. He smiled and replied without hesitation, "This is the ultimate boat. It's about as good as it can get," as he gazed at Lonrach with the admiration a parent might display at a child's graduation.

Q: Show zero as hyphen in xtables Say I have a knitr chunk such as this:
library(xtable)

<<>>=
x <- matrix(c(0, 1, 2, 0, 4, 5))
xtable(x)
@

Which yields the following LaTeX code (excerpt):
\hline
1 & 0,00 \\
2 & 1,00 \\
3 & 2,00 \\
4 & 0,00 \\
5 & 4,00 \\
6 & 5,00 \\
\hline

However, my actual table is larger (12 x 6) and has many zeros, which makes spotting non-zeros quite a task. I'd like to follow local table formatting guidelines, which recommend using hyphens for integer zeros (as opposed to zeros that result from approximation). In other words, I want my xtable() output to look like this:
\hline
1 & - \\
2 & 1,00 \\
3 & 2,00 \\
4 & - \\
5 & 4,00 \\
6 & 5,00 \\
\hline

How can I achieve this? I've looked into R options and knitr opts_chunk functions to no avail.

A: If you don't (otherwise) have missing data in the matrix/table, then you can use xtable's ability to format NA to get the required result. Just change the 0's to NA and then use the NA.string option to print.xtable
tmp <- x
tmp[tmp==0] <- NA
print(xtable(tmp), NA.string = "-")

which gives
% latex table generated in R 3.0.1 by xtable 1.7-1 package
% Fri Sep 20 13:25:27 2013
\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{rr}
  \hline
 & x \\
  \hline
1 & - \\
  2 & 1.00 \\
  3 & 2.00 \\
  4 & - \\
  5 & 4.00 \\
  6 & 5.00 \\
   \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

You could even wrap this in a function to isolate the mapping of 0 to NA from any other analysis and make it clear that this is for output formatting only.
xtable0dash <- function(x, ...) {
  x[x==0] <- NA
  print(xtable(x, ...), NA.string = "-")
}
