MISMATCHED IN MAYHEM by L.E. Rico
Welcome to Mayhem, Minnesota, with its sweater-wearing cats and ultra-competitive trivia nights. Where love really does conquer all...if you'll let it.
Walker O'Halloran is finally ready to shed her "wild child" persona. Bartending at her family's pub, babysitting her adorable niece and nephews, and getting her degree during the day. What she doesn't do is date--or even think about dating. Ever. Until he walks into her bar, looking like a former Mr. Quarterback of the Football Team and Student Council President all rolled into one. No, thank you.
Mason Stevens has a secret—and it prevents him from knowing if someone is truly interested in him, or just what he can do for them. Until he meets Walker. She's the first person in ages who doesn't recognize him, and her grouchy attitude feels like the greatest challenge of his life. And he's ready for it.
But the more time they spend together, the more he's desperate to come clean—it's just never the right time. Until the paparazzi do it for him…

Series: Whiskey Sisters #4
Published by Entangled Bliss on 01/13/2020
I totally enjoyed Walker and Mason's story in Mismatched in Mayhem by L.E. Rico, book four of her Whiskey Sisters series. It was so much fun being back in Mayhem, Minnesota, visiting all the town characters. The four O'Halloran or whiskey sisters, Father Romance, Knitty Kitty, the cat owners, the pie shop, etc.
Ms. Rico created a small town I definitely want to live in. Walker has been focused on no longer being the "wild-child." Her life revolves around bartending at her family's pub, babysitting her niece and nephews, and finishing her degree during the day, at the local college; never dating. Then he walks into her bar. It sounds cliché, but it happened. There he was, Mason Stevens, looking like Mr. Perfect, needing a ride back to campus after being left behind by his friends. Walker agreed to drive him home, but that was all. I mean, there in northern Minnesota Ubers and Taxi weren't exactly hanging on every corner. Mason shied away from dating and Walker is the first person in forever he wanted; plus, her grouchy attitude was a major challenge and turn on to him. Mason brought out feelings that Walker thought she had buried after the death of her father. After losing her trust, Mason needs to figure out how to repair his relationship with Walker and prove she's the one, and only, for him.
Ms. Rico wrote a wonderful and funny story that should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with emotions, sexual chemistry, humor, and endearing characters giving Walker and Mason a chance at love as well as Walker a chance to forgive herself, after the death of her father. There are lots of laughs in this story and a family who loves each other, no matter what. I highly recommend Mismatched in Mayhem to other readers.
Reviewer: Eileen is a retired high school teacher who has loved reading all of her life and goes everywhere with a book. She enjoys reading Contemporary Romance, Historical Romance, Romantic Comedy, Romantic Suspense, Women's Literature, YA, NA, Fiction, Historical Fiction, and Cozy Mysteries. She likes strong heroines, hot heroes and a story that draws her in, not letting go until the last page is turned. She lives in Minnesota with her husband, pup, and near her four adult children.
About L. E. Rico
L. E. Rico was going to be principal French horn of the New York Philharmonic. That was her plan, anyway. The New York Philharmonic had no idea of her intentions, and that's probably a good thing, since she wasn't an especially good French horn player! Lauren was, however, an exceptionally good classical music radio host. She has made a career of demystifying classical music for her audiences by taking it off a dusty old pedestal and putting it into a modern context. Lauren has recently discovered a passion for writing, which she's managed to combine with her love and knowledge of the classical music world. She also writes new adult under Lauren E. Rico.
About Lauren E. Rico
Award-Winning author Lauren E. Rico also happens to be one of the top classical music broadcasters in the country. Her voice is heard nationally on SiriusXM's Symphony Hall channel, as well as on radio stations in New York City, Charlotte, and Tampa. She's even been known to accompany travelers as they fly the skies over Thailand, Oman, and China as part of the in-flight entertainment on several airlines. Her love and passion for classical music have allowed her to breathe new life into the stories of the great composers.
And now Lauren is telling some stories of her own…
Beginning with her erotic thriller, Reverie (Harmony House Productions, 2016), she set out to "put the sexy back in Bach," creating a riveting tale of passion, deception and redemption set against the backdrop of an international music competition. She rounded out the trilogy with Rhapsody (Harmony House Productions, 2016) and Requiem (Harmony House Productions, 2017).
Lauren hopes to bring classical music to a new audience by showcasing it in twisty, steamy stories that grab the reader and keep them turning pages — and YouTubing the music — into the wee hours.

A 'Michigan Matters' Look At Detroit 1967 The Past, Present And Future Of Our Region
By Carol Cain July 21, 2017 at 2:00 pm
Filed Under:1967, detroit, Detroit riots, Detroit Uprising, Michigan Matters, uprising
By CBS Detroit
Former Detroit Police Chief Isaiah McKinnon was a young officer in 1967 and recalled with gripping detail how he was pulled over by white officers while driving in the Motor City who drew guns on him.

"I knew they were going to shoot me, so I got down on the floor and moved the pedals with my hands and speed away," McKinnon said.
It was a tinderbox time with racial strife so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Joseph L. Hudson Jr. was in charge of his family's retail empire which included Hudson's stores in Detroit and the region. The longtime community leader was called upon by then Gov. George Romney and Detroit Mayor Jerry Cavanaugh to convene a panel of leaders to figure how to pick up the pieces following five days of uprising in Detroit that began 50 years ago this Sunday.
"Not a single person I asked to be involved said 'no,'" Hudson recalled.
He had Henry Ford II and CEOs of other two automakers, CEOs from the major banks headquartered in Detroit, Judge Damon Keith, and others including three young African American activists under the age of 20.
"It was important to have everyone at the table," Hudson said. He added the conversations were raw and eye opening for everyone at that table.
McKinnon and Hudson appear with Marlowe Stoudamire, Detroit 67 Project Director, Detroit Historical Society, who talk with "Michigan Matters" Senior Producer and Host Carol Cain about the impact of 1967 on the region.
Stoudamire is a millenial and wasnt born then. But he has spent the past few years working with the Detroit Historical Society steering the project which takes a fascinating look of Detroit.
"It isn't only about 1967," he explained.

A Pennsylvania state university and its nonprofit fundraising foundation have asked the state's high court to hear an appeal in a case over whether the foundation, which is staffed by public employees, is subject to state public records laws.
East Stroudsburg University and the ESU Foundation are asking the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to overturn a May 24 appellate court ruling saying the foundation must comply with a newspaper's records request under the state's Right to Know Law.
"[A]ll contracts that governmental entities enter into with private contractors necessarily carry out a "governmental function" – because the government always acts as the government," wrote state appellate court Judge Dan Pellegrini in the unanimous opinion.
The case began last year when the Pocono Record made a public records request to the university for records related to the school's new Science and Technology Center. The requested records, which are maintained by the foundation, included foundation meeting minutes, a list of donors and donor files, which included correspondence. The university denied the request, claiming that the foundation was not a state agency, did not perform "essential government functions," and thus was not subject to the Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know-Law.
The newspaper's request came on the heels of a scandal and lawsuit involving alleged sexual and financial misconduct by Isaac Sanders, who was then the vice president for advancement for the university and executive director of the foundation.
The newspaper appealed the university's denial to the state Office of Open Records, which ordered the donor records and correspondence—but not the names of individual donors—disclosed. The office also ruled that foundation minutes need not be made public since the meetings were not public nor required by law. Both parties appealed the open records office's determination, though the newspaper did not appeal the finding that individual donor names could be redacted.
The court also took its decision one step further, overturning the finding that no portions of the foundation minutes were public record. "[T]he Foundation is not an agency by definition under the Right-to-Know Law. It is a non-profit corporation, and its Board of Directors' meeting minutes are not subject to disclosure. Nonetheless, because we have determined that the raising and disbursing of funds is a governmental function that the Foundation is performing on behalf of the University, any portion of the meeting minutes relating to the management of those funds are a public record," wrote Pellegrini.
"This was a great step towards transparency — a very bold but very needed decision, because without it, it would be possible for agencies to hide behind the veil of subcontracting or the use of nonprofits while doing the public's business," said Dan Berrett, the Pocono Record reporter who made the records requests on behalf of the newspaper.


"The day has come: we're finally able to conduct serious business in a printed shirt without raising eyebrows. Celebrate it by pairing one of these marvellous styles with a pair of stretch chinos, and give your office walk a nonchalant swagger. "
"Made from lightweight 100% cotton poplin, styled with semi-spread collar and no front placket for a modern Business Casual look."

Q: Print Crystal Report Directly in ASP.NET C# I am populating data in Crystal Report using SQL Server stored procedures. I was able to achieve my desired printing output using parameters passing and formatting each column using formula in CR.
In printing reports, the usual process is it will preview the created / generated output in Crystal Report Viewer, then, there are the print, export options where it will convert first the report to PDF to proceed to the printing functions
What I want is when I click the print button, It will automatically lead to printing procedures.
I was lead to this link for the answer How to print crystal report directly to a client machine using C# Asp.net
using oReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1,true,0,0);

code, others also suggesting to fill the dataset in page init, but I am seem lost on how to do it.
This is my currently working code (the usual printing process where it will lead you first to the Crystal Report preview.
public partial class Report_MonthlySalesReportPrint : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
    ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument();

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        con.Open();

        //Parameters to be passed as needed in formulas in Report
        string RP = Session["RP"].ToString();
        DateTime cms = Convert.ToDateTime(Session["CurrentMonthStart"].ToString());
        string Loc = Session["Location"].ToString();
        string MonthCurrent = Session["MonthCurrent"].ToString();
        string YearCurrent = Session["YearCurrent"].ToString();
        string MonthPrevious = Session["MonthPrevious"].ToString();
        string YearPrevious = Session["YearPrevious"].ToString();
        string MonthLastYear = Session["MonthLastYear"].ToString();
        string YearLastYear = Session["YearLastYear"].ToString();

        report.Load(Server.MapPath("MSRC.rpt"));

        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report;
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh = true;
        CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind();

        report.SetParameterValue(0, MonthLastYear);
        report.SetParameterValue(1, MonthCurrent);
        report.SetParameterValue(2, MonthPrevious);
        report.SetParameterValue(3, RP);
        report.SetParameterValue(4, Loc);
        report.SetParameterValue(5, cms);
        report.SetParameterValue(6, YearCurrent);
        report.SetParameterValue(7, YearPrevious);
        report.SetParameterValue(8, YearLastYear);

        report.PrintToPrinter(1, true, 0, 0);
        con.Close();
    }
}

UPDATED:
I just needed this to update for clarification purposes that the accepted answer below will work only on server side. Meaning when user is accessing the server remotely, the code will not work.

A:        using System.Drawing.Printing;
       using Crystal Decisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
       using Crystal Decisions.Shared;
       protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
         void();
       }
       public void()
       {
         try
        {
         ReportDocument crystalReport = new ReportDocument();
         crystalReport.Load(Server.MapPath("~/CrystalReport2.rpt"));
         DataSet dsCustomers = GetData("select * from visitor_details where  id ='" + Session["sessionvid"] + "' and  plant ='" + Session["sessionplant"] + "'");

         DataTable dataTable = dsCustomers.Tables[0];   crystalReport.Database.Tables["visitor_details"].SetDataSource((DataTable)dataTable);
          CrystalReportViewer2.ReportSource = crystalReport;
          CrystalReportViewer2.Zoom(100);
          //crystalReportViewer1.ExportReport() ;
          CrystalReportViewer2.RefreshReport();
          crystalReport.PrintOptions.PrinterName = GetDefaultPrinter();
          crystalReport.PrintToPrinter(1, false, 0, 0);
        }
        catch
        {
            Response.Write("<script LANGUAGE='JavaScript' >alert('connect printer settings')</script>");
        }

}

A: This works for me. You can create your own PageSettings if needed, else just use an emtpy one.
If you want to open a print dialogue, simply use PrintDialog;
using System.Windows.Forms;

//...

ReportClass report = new ReportClass();
report.FileName = @"C:/Layout.rpt";
report.Load();
report.SetDataSource(YourSource);

PrinterSettings settings = new PrinterSettings();

PrintDialog pdialog = new PrintDialog();
if (pdialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    settings = pdialog.PrinterSettings;
}

report.PrintToPrinter(settings, new PageSettings() { }, false);

A: 1. CLIENT-SIDE PRINTING
This is the most ideal method in printing in a Web-based application as most users will be certainly accessing the server remotely.
Put this javascript code inside the head tag of your .aspx page where the crystal report viewer resides.
     <script type="text/javascript">

                function Print() {
                      var dvReport = document.getElementById("dvReport");
                      var frame1 = dvReport.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0];
                      if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Internet Explorer") != -1) {
                          frame1.name = frame1.id;
                          window.frames[frame1.id].focus();
                          window.frames[frame1.id].print();
                      }
                      else {
                          var frameDoc = frame1.contentWindow ? frame1.contentWindow : frame1.contentDocument.document ? frame1.contentDocument.document : frame1.contentDocument;
                          frameDoc.print();
                      }
                  }
            </script>

With the same page, in the body tag put this
  <body>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <asp:Button ID="btnPrint" runat="server" Text="Print Directly" OnClientClick="Print()"></asp:Button>

          <div id="dvReport">
            <CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server" AutoDataBind="true" ToolPanelView="None" EnableDatabaseLogonPrompt="false"  />

          </div>
        </form>
    </body>

--
  take note of the button in there. it should be outside the div that enclosed the crystal report viewer. This will surely work. see Full discussion on this method: http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Print-Crystal-Report-on-Client-Side-on-Button-Click-using-JavaScript-in-ASPNet.aspx

2. SERVER SIDE PRINTING
The most suggested answers here is the printToPrinter() Function. This method is done on server-side, hence, it is limited when  you are accessing the server of your Web-based application / website remotely, unless the client can map or have the access with the server printer.

Please read this for further info: http://aspalliance.com/509_Automatically_Printing_Crystal_Reports_in_ASPNET.3

A:             CrystalReportSaleSlip _CrystalReportSaleSlip = new CrystalReportSaleSlip();
            _CrystalReportSaleSlip.SetDataSource(dtReport);

            _CrystalReportSaleSlip.PrintOptions.PrinterName = "Hp Laserjet M1522 MFP Series PCL 6";
            _CrystalReportSaleSlip.PrintToPrinter(1, false, 0, 0);
            crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();

A: PrintToPrinter will work only if the printer is configured in the Server. From client, this might not work as the printer might not be listed

String diagrams are a formal graphical language for representing morphisms in monoidal categories, or more generally 2-cells in 2-categories. They are a prominent tool in applied category theory. When interpreted in the monoidal category of vector spaces and linear maps with the tensor product, string diagrams are called tensor networks or Penrose graphical notation. This has led to the development of categorical quantum mechanics where the axioms of quantum theory are expressed in the language of monoidal categories.

History
Günter Hotz gave the first mathematical definition of string diagrams in order to formalise electronic circuits. However, the invention of string diagrams is usually credited to Roger Penrose, with Feynman diagrams also described as a precursor. They were later characterised as the arrows of free monoidal categories in a seminal article by André Joyal and Ross Street. While the diagrams in these first articles were hand-drawn, the advent of typesetting software such as LaTeX and PGF/TikZ made the publication of string diagrams more wide-spread.

The existential graphs and diagrammatic reasoning of Charles Sanders Peirce are arguably the oldest form of string diagrams, they are interpreted in the monoidal category of finite sets and relations with the Cartesian product. The lines of identity of Peirce's existential graphs can be axiomatised as a Frobenius algebra, the cuts are unary operators on homsets that axiomatise logical negation. This makes string diagrams a sound and complete two-dimensional deduction system for first-order logic, invented independently from the one-dimensional syntax of Gottlob Frege's Begriffsschrift.

Intuition
String diagrams are made of boxes , which represent processes, with a list of wires  coming in at the top and  at the bottom, which represent the input and output systems being processed by the box . Starting from a collection of wires and boxes, called a signature, one may generate the set of all string diagrams by induction:

 each box  is a string diagram,
 for each list of wires , the identity  is a string diagram representing the process which does nothing to its input system, it is drawn as a bunch of parallel wires,
 for each pair of string diagrams  and , their tensor  is a string diagram representing the parallel composition of processes, it is drawn as the horizontal concatenation of the two diagrams,
 for each pair of string diagrams  and , their composition  is a string diagram representing the sequential composition of processes, it is drawn as the vertical concatenation of the two diagrams.

Definition

Algebraic
Let the Kleene star  denote the free monoid, i.e. the set of lists with elements in a set .

A monoidal signature  is given by:

 a set  of generating objects, the lists of generating objects in  are also called types,
 a set  of generating arrows, also called boxes,
 a pair of functions  which assign a domain and codomain to each box, i.e. the input and output types.

A morphism of monoidal signature  is a pair of functions  and  which is compatible with the domain and codomain, i.e. such that  and . Thus we get the category  of monoidal signatures and their morphisms.

There is a forgetful functor  which sends a monoidal category to its underlying signature and a monoidal functor to its underlying morphism of signatures, i.e. it forgets the identity, composition and tensor. The free functor , i.e. the left adjoint to the forgetful functor, sends a monoidal signature  to the free monoidal category  it generates.

String diagrams (with generators from ) are arrows in the free monoidal category . The interpretation in a monoidal category  is a defined by a monoidal functor , which by freeness is uniquely determined by a morphism of monoidal signatures . Intuitively, once the image of generating objects and arrows are given, the image of every diagram they generate is fixed.

Geometric
A topological graph, also called a one-dimensional cell complex, is a tuple  of a Hausdorff space , a closed discrete subset  of nodes and a set of connected components  called edges, each homeomorphic to an open interval with boundary in  and such that .

A plane graph between two real numbers  with  is a finite topological graph embedded in  such that every point  is also a node  and belongs to the closure of exactly one edge in . Such points are called outer nodes, they define the domain and codomain  of the string diagram, i.e. the list of edges that are connected to the top and bottom boundary. The other nodes  are called inner nodes.

A plane graph is progressive, also called recumbent, when the vertical projection  is injective for every edge . Intuitively, the edges in a progressive plane graph go from top to bottom without bending backward. In that case, each edge can be given a top-to-bottom orientation with designated nodes as source and target. One can then define the domain and codomain  of each inner node , given by the list of edges that have source and target.

A plane graph is generic when the vertical projection  is injective, i.e. no two inner nodes are at the same height. In that case, one can define a list  of the inner nodes ordered from top to bottom.

A progressive plane graph is labeled by a monoidal signature  if it comes equipped with a pair of functions  from edges to generating objects and  from inner nodes to generating arrows, in a way compatible with domain and codomain.

A deformation of plane graphs is a continuous map  such that

 the image of  defines a plane graph for all ,
 for all , if  is an inner node for some  it is inner for all .

A deformation is progressive (generic, labeled) if  is progressive (generic, labeled) for all . Deformations induce an equivalence relation with  if and only if there is some  with  and . String diagrams are equivalence classes of labeled progressive plane graphs. Indeed, one can define:

 the identity diagram  as a set of parallel edges labeled by some type ,
 the composition of two diagrams as their vertical concatenation with the codomain of the first identified with the domain of the second,
 the tensor of two diagrams as their horizontal concatenation.

Combinatorial
While the geometric definition makes explicit the link between category theory and low-dimensional topology, a combinatorial definition is necessary to formalise string diagrams in computer algebra systems and use them to define computational problems. One such definition is to define string diagrams as equivalence classes of well-typed formulae generated by the signature, identity, composition and tensor. In practice, it is more convenient to encode string diagrams as formulae in generic form, which are in bijection with the labeled generic progressive plane graphs defined above.

Fix a monoidal signature . A layer is defined as a triple  of a type  on the left, a box  in the middle and a type  on the right. Layers have a domain and codomain  defined in the obvious way. This forms a directed multigraph, also known as a quiver, with the types as vertices and the layers as edges. A string diagram  is encoded as a path in this multigraph, i.e. it is given by:

 a domain  as starting point
 a length ,
 a list of

such that  and  for all . In fact, the explicit list of layers is redundant, it is enough to specify the length of the type to the left of each layer, known as the offset. The whiskering  of a diagram  by a type  is defined as the concatenation to the right of each layer  and symmetrically for the whiskering  on the left. One can then define:

 the identity diagram  with  and ,
 the composition of two diagrams as the concatenation of their list of layers,
 the tensor of two diagrams as the composition of whiskerings .

Note that because the diagram is in generic form (i.e. each layer contains exactly one box) the definition of tensor is necessarily biased: the diagram on the left hand-side comes above the one on the right-hand side. One could have chosen the opposite definition .

Two diagrams are equal (up to the axioms of monoidal categories) whenever they are in the same equivalence class of the congruence relation generated by the interchanger:That is, if the boxes in two consecutive layers are not connected then their order can be swapped. Intuitively, if there is no communication between two parallel processes then the order in which they happen is irrelevant.

The word problem for free monoidal categories, i.e. deciding whether two given diagrams are equal, can be solved in polynomial time. The interchanger is a confluent rewriting system on the subset of boundary connected diagrams, i.e. whenever the plane graphs have no more than one connected component which is not connected to the domain or codomain and the Eckmann–Hilton argument does not apply.

Extension to 2-categories
The idea is to represent structures of dimension d by structures of dimension 2-d, using Poincaré duality. Thus,
 an object is represented by a portion of plane,
 a 1-cell  is represented by a vertical segment—called a string—separating the plane in two (the right part corresponding to A and the left one to B),
 a 2-cell  is represented by an intersection of strings (the strings corresponding to f above the link, the strings corresponding to g below the link).

The parallel composition of 2-cells corresponds to the horizontal juxtaposition of diagrams and the sequential composition to the vertical juxtaposition of diagrams.

A monoidal category is equivalent to a 2-category with a single 0-cell. Intuitively, going from monoidal categories to 2-categories amounts to adding colours to the background of string diagrams.

Examples

The snake equation
Consider an adjunction  between two categories  and  where  is left adjoint of  and the natural transformations  and  are respectively the unit and the counit. The string diagrams corresponding to these natural transformations are:

The string corresponding to the identity functor is drawn as a dotted line and can be omitted.
The definition of an adjunction requires the following equalities:

The first one is depicted as
A monoidal category where every object has a left and right adjoint is called a rigid category. String diagrams for rigid categories can be defined as non-progressive plane graphs, i.e. the edges can bend backward.

In the context of categorical quantum mechanics, this is known as the snake equation.

The category of Hilbert spaces is rigid, this fact underlies the proof of correctness for the quantum teleportation protocol. The unit and counit of the adjunction are an abstraction of the Bell state and the Bell measurement respectively. If Alice and Bob share two qubits Y and Z in an entangled state and Alice performs a (post-selected) entangled measurement between Y and another qubit X, then this qubit X will be teleported from Alice to Bob: quantum teleportation is an identity morphism.The same equation appears in the definition of pregroup grammars where it captures the notion of information flow in natural language semantics. This observation has led to the development of the DisCoCat framework and quantum natural language processing.

Hierarchy of graphical languages

Many extensions of string diagrams have been introduced to represent arrows in monoidal categories with extra structure, forming a hierarchy of graphical languages which is classified in Selinger's Survey of graphical languages for monoidal categories.

 Braided monoidal categories with 3-dimensional diagrams, a generalisation of braid groups.
 Symmetric monoidal categories with 4-dimensional diagrams where edges can cross, a generalisation of the symmetric group.
 Ribbon categories with 3-dimensional diagrams where the edges are undirected, a generalisation of knot diagrams.
 Compact closed categories with 4-dimensional diagrams where the edges are undirected, a generalisation of Penrose graphical notation.
 Dagger categories where every diagram has a horizontal reflection.

List of applications
String diagrams have been used to formalise the following objects of study.

 Concurrency theory
 Artificial neural networks
 Game theory
 Bayesian probability
 Consciousness
 Markov kernels
 Signal-flow graphs

Doh Tell Me Dat Done!
One of the best yet under played songs for the 2014 Soca season, has to be the infectious 'Doh Tell Me Dat' by Flipo. For those of you who went to Trinidad Carnival, I am sure this brings back some good memories - we know it does for us. Take a listen.
From the collaborative efforts 'I Am Soca' with Patrice Roberts and 'Possessed' with Machel Montano, to individual hits such as 'Runaway' and 'Bacchanalist', Kerwin DuBois has undoubtedly been one of the most consistent artists in soca music over the past couple of years. 2014 is gearing up to be another great year for this groovy soca master, as his infectious tunes take hold and the spirit of the Carnival season approaches climax.
Here is one of our favourite songs for Trinidad Carnival 2014.

Pakistan arrests imam after boy cuts hand off in blasphemy error
By Jean Christou January 17, 2016 January 17, 2016 2 125
Pakistani police have arrested the imam of a mosque for inciting violence after a 15-year old boy who was told by the cleric that he was a blasphemer went home and cut off his own hand.
Shabbir Ahmed was delivering a sermon at a village in the east of Punjab province when he asked the gathering if anyone did not love the Prophet Mohammad.
Mishearing the question, the 15-year old boy raised his hand. Ahmed quickly singled him out and called him a "blasphemer" in front of the congregation, Nosher Ali, the head of the local police station, told Reuters on Sunday.
After returning home, the boy cut his hand off, an act welcomed by the boy's father who told police he was proud of his son and did not want the cleric arrested.
Police filed anti-terrorism charges against Ahmed and arrested him on Saturday, police chief Ali said.
"Such illiterate imams of mosques should not be allowed to deliver speeches. His arrest is under the National Action Plan that hate speeches inciting violence are no longer allowed in this country," Ali said.
Blasphemy is a highly controversial issue in Pakistan, and angry mobs have killed many people accused of insulting Islam in the majority Muslim country.
The law does not define blasphemy but stipulates that the penalty is death, although a death sentence has never been carried out. Human rights activists say accusations of blasphemy are sky rocketing because the law is often abused to settle personal grudges

Q: Measure of how far a basis is from orthogonality here's a problem that is a bit vaguely defined. Let the $m\times m$ matrix $U$ have columns $U_i$ that form a basis in $R^m$. Assume these columns have unit length, $|U_i|=1$. The matrix $R = U^\top U$ then contains scalar products, $R_{ij} = U_i^\top U_j$. Obviously, $R$ is symmetric and positive semi-definite (we assume definite).
The question is: is there a standard measure of "how far" this basis is from being orthogonal?
The transformation $V = U R^{-1/2}$ constructs an orthonormal basis $V$ (since $V^\top V = I$; $R^{-1/2}$ is the inverse of the symmetric square root of $R$ -- could also be a Cholesky factor). Thus one may suspect that a "standard measure of distance from orthogonality" should use in $R$ in some way... The condition number of $R$ maybe? Any pointers appreciated!

SHY GLIZZY AND DC LIFESTYLE | EXPEDITIOUSLY PODCAST
by Jonathan P. Wright / No Comments
It's bad boys for life and two-time NASCAR Cup Series winner Kyle Busch says being hated is all part of the price of winning.
Starting the conversation off, Channing says 'rowdy" means asshole and asks Kyle if he's an asshole as the group erupts in laughter while he owns up to the title. Chad loves that Kyle embraces being the villain of NASCAR relating back to his days on the football field. Chad gets Kyle to give details of the few fights he's had and digs into who his past and present rivals are, starting with Dale Earnhardt Jr and Joey Logano. Opening up about driver feuds and not making friends on the track, Kyle tells the guys about the fights he's had and the enemies he's made along his journey to the top.
Winning and being at your best sometimes drives you to uphold a certain persona which is when Brandon busts Kyle on fighting with his own brother for over a year and says no one seems exempt from the competitive on track stigma. Kyle's success on the track has resulted in his share off the track too. Brandon gets into the balance of work life and family and what it takes to maintain businesses at all levels as well as Kyle's most important role as a dad to his son Brexton who is into go kart racing at the age of 5.
Fred dives into the intricacies of the sport and who's more in control of the success, the crew chief or the driver. Kyle explains how it's a balance between the two and how there are levels to competing and when you have an 'A driver' and an 'A crew chief' the possibilities are endless. Brandon and Channing don't shy away from Kyle being one of the sport's A drivers but also ask the tough question of his recent slump only winning a couple races out of almost 70 which is very uncharacteristic of the two-time Cup Series winner. Kyle quickly responds, "I'm not sucking," so we are going to figure it out or I will know when it's time.
Brandon closes the show with May being Mental Health Awareness month and asks Kyle about how he and his wife handle the heartaches of infertility and the emotional rollercoaster it creates. Making light of the situation best he can, Kyle explains the process from his own experience and sheds light to other couples who may be going through similar ups and downs.
I AM NASCAR is a limited series and special edition of the I Am Athlete podcast with episodes slated to air every Monday in May and monthly throughout the race season. Special thanks to NASCAR and KBM for hosting our crew in Mooresville, NC.

This review by Christopher Brayshaw was originally published in The Comics Journal #187 (May 1996).
BERLIN IS JASON LUTES' follow-up to his unmistakably ambitious two-volume graphic novel, Jar of Fools. While Jar's first volume evoked widespread, and well-deserved, critical acclaim, the second volume was met with puzzling (and for Lutes, undoubtedly frustrating) silence. The indifferent response to Jar's second volume seemed to indicate a falling-off, or relaxation of the formidable cartooning skills Lutes brought to bear in the first volume, which still stands as a benchmark of Lutes' achievement. If its companion volume, or, for that matter, Berlin fails to reach it, it's as important to acknowledge that early success as it is to note that, while Berlin still falls short of Lutes' personal best, it's nonetheless a competently conceived and executed read.
Geography and psychology are interchangeable for Lutes — the places in which his characters find themselves are invariably related to their lives and emotional conditions. Jar of Fools was set in rainy Seattle; much of that book took place in the dark beneath elevated portions of the I-5, where the characters' invisibility from the traffic overhead served as a reflection on their marginal lives. Berlin is not set in the present day, but in Germany, circa 1928. Two strangers, man and woman, meet on a train bound for Berlin. Kurt Severing is a journalist returning to the city from a clandestine visit to an airfield where military planes are being tested, in direct violation of the Treaty of Versailles, which prohibits Germany from maintaining an air force; Marthe Muller is an artist from the small city of Koln, who might simply be traveling for pleasure, though Lutes hints that she is more likely fleeing an incident in her past involving her father, a major in the German army. Kurt and Marthe talk together on the train, wander through Berlin's streets, and finally arrive at separate destinations: Severing at the offices of his employer, the daily paper Die Weltbuhne, and Muller at the home of Herr Wolzendorf, an ex-soldier who formerly served under her father's command.
Two lovely full-page panels dominate Berlin's first issue: an elevated shot of the train carrying Kurt and Marthe toward Berlin; and, later on, a bird's eye view of the city's downtown core. These images illuminate two of Berlin's central themes: the impossibility of escaping from time and one's past; and the productive opportunities a cultural center like Berlin offers to expand one's life beyond the bounds of what a smaller city like Koln can offer. In both instances, Lutes uses rail tracks to symbolize different conceptions of time. In Berlin's first sequence — a long conversation between Kurt and Marthe inside a train car bound for Berlin — time, like the tracks under the train, only moves forward, toward the future. A completely black page, blank save for the story's title, separates this opening sequence from the train's arrival in Berlin. But the black page also alludes to the as-yet unexplained relationship between Marthe and her father, which Lutes at one point represents as a vast darkness inside Marthe's skull, broken by a soldier's silhouette, whose back is turned to us. Lutes' juxtaposition of the soldier's figure with darkness in turn links the all-black page with the still-recent First World War, whose signs are scattered everywhere in the September countryside, like harbingers of the Second World War to come. In the second full-page panel, rail tracks fork and branch off through Berlin, symbolizing the variety of life choices offered by the specifically European notion of the great city. Lutes marks the richness and variety of Berlin life in a number of ways. "There is more of everything and everything moves faster than ever before," says Kurt to Marthe during their train conversation, and his observation is later confirmed as the two walk along Berlin's streets. "Into the flow of [the city] as into a river. Through warring currents of flesh and smell: cigars and sausage, lavender and roses, the sourness of neglect." Lutes' panels encompass a number of historically accurate details: street architecture; expressions on the faces of passersby; the nearby clamor of traffic and streetcars. "I am losing myself," thinks Marthe, and, as if to underscore her observation, Lutes' camera pulls back to a full-page view of Berlin and its branching streets, from an angle so high that Kurt and Marthe vanish in the rush.
There's real pleasure in Lutes' detailed evocation of Berlin's streets. A brief acknowledgment calls attention to Lutes' judicious citation of photographs by August Sander, and art works by Otto Dix, Rudolf Dischinger, and other Weimar Republic artists. And in the book's most impressive sequence, Lutes employs a kind of literary expressionism, reminiscent of the early chapters of Joyce's Ulysses, to map the thoughts of the "poor fellow" operating the signals at a traffic roundabout, whose disgust with the drivers below him is contrasted with Kurt and Marthe's enthusiastic views of the city. Not all of Berlin is as successful as this sequence, which to my mind ranks with Lutes' best. In particular, I note two tendencies in Berlin which represent a step down from Lutes' best work. First is Lutes' inclusion of panels whose odd angles seem designed not to simply convey information, but to inflect readers' responses to them. For example, a tall panel on page 11 depicts Kurt and Marthe walking through the Berlin train station. The panel's point of view is skewed to emphasize the sunlight falling through the station's high windows overhead, which seems unnecessary. In this case, Lutes seems to think that the components of the scene aren't sufficient to influence readers' responses to it, so he interferes, and the panel consequently stands out from his more dispassionate views elsewhere. A second, related problem is Lutes' pacing. Some scenes, like Kurt and Marthe's long conversation on the train, are punctuated by panels that don't provide any new visual information, but rather seem inserted arbitrarily, to pace the sequence more slowly. Obviously, Lutes is trying to develop slower, more complicated rhythms than the stylish cuts of Jar of Fools' action sequences. But I don't think his present solutions to this problem are successful. As David Mamet indicates in On Directing Film (a tiny book which, page for page, provides more useful information for professional cartoonists than all of Burne Hogarth and Will Eisner's books do together), cuts can pace a slow scene just as effectively as a fast one. Lutes needs to think more carefully about how his signature cuts (which he employs to good effect in sequences like the one involving the traffic light controller) can contribute to his newfound interest in slower, subtler scenes.
Problems like these give Berlin a kind of workbook quality. I find myself less interested in the story's characters than in Lutes' thoughtful play with different kinds of pacing. Coming after Jar of Fools' bravura pacing, this can't help but feel like a bit of a letdown. But Lutes' commitment to experimentation and to refining his storytelling techniques bodes well for his continued development as a cartoonist. I'm consequently willing to accept my minor reservations about Berlin for now, in return for the more innovative work that Lutes' present experiments promise in the future.

2018 Justice Empowerment Scholarship Award Winner
We are pleased to announce that Bethani Lechuga has been selected as the winner of the 2018 Dolan Law Firm Justice Empowerment Scholarship. The law firm awarded Bethani a $2,500 scholarship.
Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Bethani attended North High School in Phoenix before deciding to enter into the Nursing BSN program at Arizona State University (ASU). Bethani was perusing the ASU scholarship portal one day when she stumbled upon the annual Dolan Justice Empowerment Scholarship.
At first, Bethani was uncertain about what she might have to say that would contribute to the conversation about Justice Empowerment. Then, a few days later, while driving to school, Bethani was listening to a speech by our current President in which he referred to immigrants as criminals and animals. Bethani recalls being brought to tears at the thought that our most powerful elected representative, the President of the United States, would speak of whole populations of people with such animosity and hatred. Knowing that these statements reflect not only his views but the views of many of her fellow Americans, it was then that Bethani resolved to make her voice be heard by creating a video that speaks to the Justice Empowerment means to her.
Here is Bethani Lechuga's award-winning video:
When asked about why she chose Nursing as the profession she will pursue, Bethani said, "I've seen so much injustice and discrimination in our health care system. I want to make part of my impact on society by working in the healthcare system and doing my best to treat all of the people I serve as a nursing practitioner without regard for their race, religion, politics or immigration status."
We congratulate and honor Bethani for having the vision and the commitment to enter into a caring profession and committing herself to caring for all people she encounters personally and professionally with the same dignity and respect we all deserve as human beings.

Hip-Hop Origins Hip-hop is a culture born from the ashes of disco and the development of funk.
During the early 70s, many funk groups began playing disco because at the time it was the latest trend. Drawing from disco production techniques, funk music started to become technology driven as it absorbed more electronic sounds from synthesizers and drum machines.
By the mid-70s, funk became the new dance music in urban America. Looking back to New York during this era we start to see an economic collapse.
Much of the white middle class began moving to the suburbs as well, and gang violence was on a rise. Many of the opportunities into the music industry and sources of recreation evaporated. During these block parties, DJs would play popular genres of music, especially funk and soul music. Similar to the style of disco DJs in their era, funk DJs would mix together percussive breaks in songs.
Blending and mixing breaks was a common technique used in Jamaican dub music and was later introduced to New York mostly by immigrants from the Caribbean. These rhythmic reinterpretations became the most anticipated parts of songs where people danced to the most. He would also play two copies of the same record to extend the break.
This breakbeat juggling style of DJing formed the basis of turntablism that heavily influenced the rise of hip-hop music. Some of the first rap music records were recorded by live disco bands and an MC rapping over the music. He formed Zulu Nation, a music-oriented movement of creative people who believed in unity through a positive hip-hop culture. Early Music Technology Moving into the late 70s and early 80s music instrument manufacturers began designing more hardware instruments such as the legendary Roland TR-808, which was one of the first programmable drum machines.
As rap music developed, we started to see live drummers being replaced by drum machines and an increased use of DJs who would scratch records to add a percussive element to the music.
Around this time sampling technology emerged and drum machines became widely available to the general public at a cost that was affordable to the average consumer.
DJs also started to become producers and began using sampling technology to piece together breaks in songs rather than using turntables. Essentially, this technique was early remixing. Golden Age of Hip-Hop By the late 80s, hip-hop had spread across the country. Record labels recognized the genre as an emerging trend and started to invest a lot of money into the movement. New scenes and different styles emerged from city to city as the culture popularized.
The music quickly developed and became more complex as well.
The new generation of hip-hop producers had access to more advanced drum machines and samplers that allowed them to take sampling and layering sounds to the next level.
During this time period, hip-hop was largely experimental and was being characterized by its sound, diversity, innovation, attitude, and influences from different regions.
New and innovative production techniques were being discovered leading to more advanced styles. Even the lyrical content from hip-hop rappers evolved.
Sampling and Copyright In the early 90s, sampling was being heavy used in rap music. The original copyright owners of the music being sampled were hearing parts of their songs used in new rap music and realized they are not getting paid for it. After many legal actions, copyright enforcement laws were implanted requiring artists to clear all of the samples in advance to avoid lawsuits. Clearing samples was very expensive, and many record labels could not afford to clear all of the samples.
Rap music began to take a whole new direction and producers had to start making their own sounds rather than relying heavily on samples.
We started to hear a completely different sound because producers were no longer drawing from samples by funk, disco, and rock songs. The music began to lose much of its jazz, soul, and esthetics.
Global Culture After the explosion of diversity during the mid-80s and 90s, hip-hop music became more commercial and was the top selling music genre by the late 90s. The popularity of hip-hop music continued through the 2000s and eventually found its way into mainstream pop and electronic music.
Similar to the style of disco DJs in their era, funk DJs would mix together percussive breaks in songs.
To this day hip-hop is globally recognized and continues to influence music, styles, and culture around the world. It has become a lifestyle. Students will develop a deeper understanding of the roots and lineage of a variety of electronic and dance music genres, strengthen their keyboard skills, and learn valuable music theory, deepening their creative practice and facilitating effective collaborations with musical partners.
He formed Zulu Nation, a music-oriented movement of creative people who believed in unity through a positive hip-hop culture.
Most pioneering early electronic musicians had years of conservatory training in theory and performance but had access to very limited technologies. Our Music Foundations program is designed to fill this gap and provide training in fundamental skills and concepts with the electronic musician, DJ, and producer in mind. You will also develop a deeper understanding of the roots and lineage of a variety of electronic and dance music genres, and explore compositional techniques and song structure.

If you haven't heard, over 1000 employers were recently caught for trying to fleece the government of $5.57million by abusing the Wage Credit Scheme (WCS), which aims to help businesses cope with rising wage costs by co-funding yearly wage increments for eligible Singaporean workers.
We must say… these employers are so resourceful!
Coming up with ruses such as hiring phantom workers or inflating workers' wages, who would have thought? But really, cheating the Government is the wrong way to go about things. They should really be putting their minds towards more constructive ways of improving their bottom lines and upping their profits.
Since this is the season of giving, we thought we'd put ourselves in the shoes of crafty employers and suggest 4 ways in which employers can channel their smarts towards instead of cheating the Government.
Singapore is known for its pro-business policies as well as good infrastructure. Why not make use of it? There are a plethora of grants and support programmes from SPRING Singapore, Ministry of Manpower and Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) etc that businesses can tap on for their business needs.
With the online shopping pie growing steadily every year (Alibaba racks up a record $35billion SGD in Singles' Day sales), if your business isn't online, you might want to think of how to bring your business online and leverage social media.
Consumers are a fickle bunch these days, be it services or products, they are always looking for something new. Businesses need to innovate to cater to customers' changing needs.
If you're already exploring business innovation, it certainly makes sense to keep your workers up to speed and trained to take your business to the next level. Again, SkillsFuture is a good place to start, or if your employees are union members, they will have access to the Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP) which helps defray training costs. A new learning subscription scheme, U Future Leaders Exchange (UFLX) was launched by Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) Chan Chun Sing recently. It allows workers unlimited access to bite-sized workshops and networking events so they can upskill at their own pace.
Most would acknowledge that networking is an important part in running a business. Regular discussions and networking sessions with people in the same industry helps cross-pollination of ideas and surfacing best practices. Joining networks such as the U SME or U Associates will give one access to business leaders who are interested to grow their own industries as well as partners who understand the Industry Transformation Maps (ITMs) and can help you stay ahead of the curve.

The pattern was not great. It's a shame they don't include instructions for a length wise outer border. If alternating colours of scrappy blocks, make sure 10 start with colour A and 10 with colour B. The pieced border should end with the same colours length wise, and the other colour width wise.

During the hot summer months, two things constantly remind Alton Jones to keep a top-water lure tied on and ready to fish. The first is that when he began fishing as a youngster more than 35 years ago, he started with a topwater lure, and the second is the 9 lb., 9-oz. bass the Yamaha pro caught at Lake Amistad.
"During June, July, and August, there is usually some place on every lake where you can catch bass on topwater lures early in the morning or late in the afternoon," says Jones. "Water temperatures are warm so bass metabolism is high, which is why they'll hit top- waters better this time of year than at any other time.
"They're also big bass lures that can and do attract some huge fish. If I know bass are chasing large baitfish, I'll certainly use a big topwater lure." The two primary types of topwater lures are "walk- ing" baits like the famous Zara Spook and poppling lures like the equally well-known Pop R. Walking ® lures that have a fluid side-to-side motion that imitates a baitfish running from a bass, so they're most effective with a steady retrieve.
Conversely, popping lures create a sound more like bass eating a baitfish, so they're usually more effective with a stop-and-go retrieve. "You'll usually find that bass want one type of top- water over the other," notes Jones, winner of the 2008 Bassmaster® Classic. "Some days, bass want a lure worked very, very slowly, so that's when I'll throw a popper and pause each time I do pop it.
"A Spook®, on the other hand, has very little attraction when it's sitting still in the water, so I'll usually start with it, 'walking' it at different speeds just to see if I can draw a strike. If I get bass following the lure but not hitting it, then I'll usually change to a popper."
The Yamaha pro also notes that water and weather conditions can dictate his choice of topwater lures. The calmer the water, the more noticeable sound will be to a bass, so that's when he'll use a Spook® and really sashay it across the surface. In extremely clear water, he may draw bass up from as deep as 20 feet.
Pro Angler Alton Jones says he enjoys using topwaters during the slower times of summer. He suggests your using both a big topwater that moves smoothly, and a popping lure that imitates the sound of bass hitting baitfish
Pro Angler Alton Jones says he enjoys using topwaters during the slower times of summer. He suggests your using both a big topwater that moves smoothly, and a popping lure that imitates the sound of bass hitting baitfish.
"You can fish poppers in shallow, slightly off-colored water, too," continues Jones. "In those conditions, you want bass to have plenty of time to find the lure, so you fish it slower. Basically, you can fish top waters around shallow visible cover like weed edges, rocky points, and even laydowns, so they're pretty versatile lures."
Interestingly, the Spooks® and poppers are the only lures Jones fishes with monofilament line, since it floats. Because fluorocarbon sinks, it can actually change a floating lure's action. His rod choice is a 6'6" medium action model that permits long casts and allows him to work the lures effectively.
"Everyone loves topwater lures because you can see bass strike," concludes the Yamaha pro, "and I have to admit, that's one of the reasons I love them, too, but they're also easy to use. Honestly, I do have one tied on and ready to use every day I'm out on the water during the summer."


Alastair Cook says England put in a performance of "real high quality" as they comfortably beat Australia by eight wickets at Edgbaston.
Ian Bell led the way with 65 not out and Joe Root chipped in with an unbeaten 38 as the hosts chased down 121 in 32.1 overs to win on the afternoon of the third day.
Australian captain Michael Clarke criticised his own batting performance, saying that "it's going to be hard to be beat any opposition when they've got 11 and you've got 10".

Q: R: Sorting a vector alphabetically after nth character I would like to sort the elements (string) of a vector alphabetically, but only considering characters after the nth. The strings can contain both numbers and characters, for example:
> v <- c("ENCSR529JNJ_HNR35NPK_21_K562", "ENCSR529MBZ_AP22IG_11_K562", "ENCSR529MBZ_AP22IG_21_K562", "ENCSR530BOP_DUPT6H_11_K562", "ENCSR530BOP_DUPT6H_21_K562")

and after sorting after the 11th character, v would become:
"ENCSR529MBZ_AP22IG_11_K562", "ENCSR529MBZ_AP22IG_21_K562", "ENCSR530BOP_DUPT6H_11_K562", "ENCSR530BOP_DUPT6H_21_K562", "ENCSR529JNJ_HNR35NPK_21_K562"

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

A: v[order(substr(v, start = 12, stop = max(nchar(v))))]
# [1] "ENCSR529MBZ_AP22IG_11_K562"   "ENCSR529MBZ_AP22IG_21_K562"   "ENCSR530BOP_DUPT6H_11_K562"   "ENCSR530BOP_DUPT6H_21_K562"
# [5] "ENCSR529JNJ_HNR35NPK_21_K562"

substr(v, start = 12, stop = max(nchar(v))) gives the substring omitting the first 11 characters. So we order by that.

Wait to increase soybean yields? Then imagine putting the crop's maximum yield potential — around 100 bushels per acre today — in a bucket, a bucket with six or seven holes in it, advises Karen Corrigan, of McGillicuddy Corrigan Agronomics.
To figure out how to harvest more of that yield potential, figure out which hole is leaking the most beans in your operation and address that issue first.
Good cheap seed does not exist. It is a myth perpetuated on the Internet. It doesn't pay to skimp up front and limit your yield potential from the beginning. Buy seed from a reliable source that tests its seed for germination and vigor.
Each variety has characteristics that will help or hurt it in extreme environments or high populations. If you have a tough field or are planning on pushing your populations, be sure to tell your seed representative so he or she can make sure you put the right varieties on the fields that will give them the best potential for success.
If iron chlorosis is an issue, be sure to select a variety that is more tolerant.
"Soybeans have tap roots, but those roots are not indestructible. They need to be able to grow straight down without any obstacles," Corrigan says.
A soil density layer will force the root to exert energy looking for an adequate area to continue moving downward. Also, the vascular activity of the plant can be disrupted when roots kink.
Although soybeans are generally not fertilized, they do use a fair amount of potassium and phosphorus. Forty-five bushels of soybeans use as much potassium as 200 bushels of corn.
Soybean plants produce their own nitrogen, but only if they have lots of large, healthy rhizobia bacteria on their roots. Inoculating seed correctly increases the likelihood that the rhizobia population is high enough.
It's especially important to inoculate if the field has been in a non-legume for three or more years; is coming out of the Conservation Reserve Program; or has any soil conditions that would inhibit rhizobial growth, such as high pH.
"Inoculants are alive — so don't kill them before you put them into the soil. Use new stock. Don't freeze or thaw the jug. Don't heat it or subject it to direct sunlight. Make sure that your seed treatments are compatible with the inoculant," she advises.
Controlling weeds in the first two to four weeks after planting is crucial to high yields. Volunteer corn is also a big problem.
In Iowa State University trials, one volunteer corn plant per 10 feet of row reduced yield 1.3% compared to a treated check. Generally, there are many more than one plant per 10 feet of row, particularly when there are clumps of volunteer corn. In University of Minnesota trials, soybean yields fell 1% for every 75 clumps of volunteer corn per acre.
Plant the soybeans as early as you can without freezing them off. Research indicates that the longer soybeans flower the more pods they are likely to set. Soybeans are indeterminant and make fewer critical decisions early in their life cycles. Pod and seed set decisions come later.
Soybeans can withstand cool, gray weather early on that would adversely affect corn. Soybeans germinate and emerge best when planted between 1 and 1½ inches deep. If it is early, plant closer to 1 inch deep. If it is later, plant closer to 1½ inches deep. It is best to plant into moisture, but do not wait so that emergence is delayed. Soybeans that emerge within seven days will have a better start, be healthier and have a higher yield potential than those that take three weeks to emerge.
It is better to plant soybeans in soils that are 65 degrees F than it is in soils that are 50 degrees F.
Begin scouting in late June to early July, no later than the R1 growth stage for soybean aphids. Growth stage R1 to R4 (beginning flower to full pod) is when control of soybean aphids is most important.
If you have any areas that look as if they are infected with SCN, send in soil samples to test for SCN. Take all steps to keep fields from being infested and to keep from spreading SCN to new fields. SCN does not move on its own. It moves with soil, on equipment and by tillage. Be cautious if you buy equipment from an infested area.


STUDENTS from Communication Specialist College Doncaster have been learning about the latest innovation and technology from diamond tool makers Marcrist International.
The company, a leader in the cutting, grinding and drilling tool industry, showed four students the different products they make and gave them a tour of the warehouse and workshop.
Suzie Beaumont from Communication Specialist College Doncaster said: "We are extremely grateful to Marcrist for taking the time out to meet our students and show us the fantastic work that they do.
Warehouse Manager, Andy Linley showed the group around and explained different processes, he also allowed the students to get hands on and involved.
Karl Lycett, Product Manager of Marcrist International, said: "It was great to be able to welcome the staff and students from Communication Specialist College Doncaster to Marcrist.
"The group were really interested in finding out more about the work that we do and hopefully this is the beginning of a long relationship with the college and with Doncaster Deaf Trust.

HAPPY OCTOBER, AND WELCOME TO SWITCHED-ON!
Cardio will make men lose hard-earned muscle mass.
It is, however, your nutrition that determines muscle gain and muscle loss, more so than the type of exercise. I believe that a well-rounded workout is a blend of cardio, resistance, core and functional training. This is why I created the Switch Playground workout.
• Resistance training essentially breaks down muscle fibres, which, with the correct amount of protein intake, the body then repairs, making those fibres stronger each time.
• Cardio speeds up the metabolic flame to burn body fat, but more importantly, it also improves the body's cardiovascular endurance and fitness.
• Core exercises help our postural integrity, keeping us strong and upright.
• And finally, Functional Training mirrors actual movements that we repeat in everyday life, allowing us to always be the best version of ourselves, training you by utilising natural movement.
At Switch, your 'game' is life, and our goal is to make you the most efficient and effective player that you can be.
By changing programming every day, we challenge your body, we keep your muscles guessing, and we exclude stagnant and repetitive movements which can slow down progress.
It is up to you, once you are on those cardio stations, to challenge yourself, push yourself outside your comfort zone, and find your magic.


Two photographs from Andrew Stopford shows the site of short curve linking the Calder Valley line to the Copy Pit line cleared ready to be re-instated. The Copy Pit line is crossing left to right in the foreground, and the viaduct leading to Todmorden Station, which carries the existing Calder Valley line, is visible centre right. The re-instated line will follow the excavated and cleared dark coloured formation curving towards the viaduct.
Simon Foster contributed a number of images taken at Stansfield Hall to show the early preparatory works. In the interests of personal safety and responsible photography, it should just be noted that the photo was taken from the right side of the boundary, with the camera on the end of a monopod held out over the fence. The photo shows class 158, number 158753 about to pass Stansfield Hall Junction. Simon has also artfully provided a composite which shows how the alignments have remained unchanged. However, Simon notes that this is to change, as the decision has now been made to realign the point at Stansfield Hall to provide a better transition onto the chord.
Andrew Stopford caught work finally in progress to re-instate the Todmorden Curve, which will vastly improve travel options between Rochdale, Todmorden, Burnley and beyond. His photo shows the sleepers being laid out. Nice to see traditional wood sleepers, given that Colne has been relaid using steel and the Ffestiniog is now using plastic.
This means a certain amount of re-doing of track already laid on the chord, which was heading towards to original turnout.
However, the plan to carry out heavy maintenance on the original would have meant a 10 mph speed restriction, and longer-term maintenance issues. So Simon's next update may not align so easily. Points to note are that the track is essentially the same: still bullhead with the check rails unchanged, although the further Burnley track has been updated with flat-bottom rail immediately the check rail finishes.
David Greenfield visited Stansfield Hall Junction on Wednesday 26 February 2014. His photo shows the curve in place and ballasted, together with the remnant of the 'Engine Siding' and connection to the Burnley line. The new point is lying alongside the Burnley line, east of the junction, and just out of the photo middle left.
David Greenfield noted: "The new curve is in place and looks to be a wider radius than the old curve. The old point and catch point is still in place but a new point is awaiting installation. This has a large radius so the actual junction will be moved some metres towards Burnley. The old crossover is still in place but I assume that this will be replaced by a crossover at a larger radius to avoid too great a speed restriction. More work has been done at the other end of the curve but can't be seen except from a passing train. No sign of signalling yet. I assume trains using the curve in the Manchester direction will use a crossover to gain the down line and then access the new curve from there."
Stansfield Hall Junction looking towards Todmorden East (to the right) and Hall Royd Junction (bearing to the left). The green 'box' sits very close to the site of the old LMS asbestos lamp hut. The new point can be seen in the distance, to the right of the running lines.
David reports that more track panels were unloaded at Stansfield Hall at around midnight, writing: "I think they may have been the points for the crossover but haven't seen where they have taken them too."
Stansfield Junction on 22 March 2014 with new crossover laid, but signal not yet relocated and so fouling new curve alignment.
Simon Foster has also kindly contributed this shot of the remains of Stansfield Hall Junction, signal box, showing the retaining wall that ran behind the box (and on to which the stairs originally also provided access to the top of) and some of the brink work of the locking room.
The site of Stansfield Hall Junction signal box on 26 February 2014.
Fortunately the sun rose into a cloudless Pennine sky on Saturday 22 March 2014, so I had 'low sun' rather than Pennine 'no sun' conditions. As my son says, it's all about the light.
By this date, the new point had been laid in, and the curve refettled to connect with it. However the S&T department have still to attend as the old signal is now foul of the new curve.
Signalling and connection of points at the Todmorden end of the curve is due to take place over the weekend of 26-27 April 2014, and the Todmorden West curve is expected to be available for traffic from Monday 12 May 2014. However, a check of the Network Rail journey planner confirms that there are, as yet, no plans to run trains over the curve. The planner currently provides times through to early June.
Stansfield Hall Junction Todmorden 22 March 2014. Note the sleeper acting as a stop block to the right of the signal.
The view looking north from the footbridge. The speed restriction sign shows 40 mph for Burnley and 25 mph for the new crossover. This is the site of the old Stansfield Halt.
On the basis that there had obviously been changes made on Saturday or overnight, Stansfield Hall Junction was revisited.
The first train carry passengers ran on Saturday 24 May 2014, and was organised by Pathfinder Tours. A pair of DRS Class 20s were provided, starting and finishing at Crewe, with a class 37 assisting with reversing moves.

Nicht nur der Liebe wegen (Alternativtitel: Heiner Lauterbach Special) ist ein von Konrad Sabrautzky inszeniertes Unterhaltungs-Special für das ZDF mit Heiner Lauterbach in einer Doppelrolle aus dem Jahr 1993. Es ist in zwei 20-minütige Teile mit den Titeln Laura und Schöne Hände unterteilt.

Handlung
Im ersten Teil Laura geht es um den Berliner Architekten Daniel Horné, der trotz gleichbleibenden Lohns zu Mehrarbeit getrieben wird, während seine Ehefrau Barbara, eine freie Journalistin, nach Hamburg für ein wichtiges Interview fliegt. Als er der jungen 20-jährigen Laura aus der Nachbarvilla begegnet, verbringt diese mit ihm einen schönen und feierlichen Tag in der Stadt. Am nächsten Morgen stellt er seine Ehe in Frage, weil einen solchen Tag hat er schon jahrelang nicht mit seiner Frau gehabt.

Der zweite Teil Schöne Hände handelt von einem Bankangestellten, dessen von ihm geschätzte Stammkundin mit den sogenannten "schönen Händen", einen Überfall auf seine Filiale verübt. Er lässt nach ihr und dem erbeuteten Geld fahnden. Als er jedoch erfährt, weshalb sie diese Tat begangen hat, deckt er sie.

Produktionshintergrund
Nicht nur der Liebe wegen wurde von der Phoenix Film Karlheinz Brunnemann GmbH & Co. Produktions KG mit Sitz in Berlin produziert (heute UFA Fiction). Im selben Jahr 1993 entstand ein weiteres Unterhaltungs-Special mit Walter Plathe unter dem Titel Kein perfekter Mann. 1995 folgte Glück auf Raten mit Peter Bongartz in einer Doppelrolle.

Occasionally closed in muddy/wet conditions. Popular with hikers, and Jefferson County rangers have been known to ticket riders who exceed 15 MPH or ride aggressively.
This is a great bunch of singletrack. The initial climb is long but not terribly steep and there are sections where it mellows out long enough to let you recover a bit. There are some short technical sections but nothing that will define the trail. Some of the more difficult features are the water bars on steep sections but you can usually aim for a side if you want to avoid the full challenge.
Beware of hot days because there's not a whole lot of shade during the initial climb.
It can be crowded, but there seems to be enough room that it won't ruin your ride if you have a good attitude.
You'll often have to park along the road as the parking lot fills up quick.
From the lower parking lot, jump on the castle trail. Pretty quickly there will be a turn off for a hikers only trail (Turkey Trot) on the right. Just stay left and you'll see some small water bars in the trail.
Now this is where you'll be wishing you warmed up more. There is a short but steep climb with some tricky water bars if you stay in the center. From here it'll be a lot more consistent. About halfway up there is a fairly rocky section followed by slightly more technical riding. Just hang in there and you'll be done before you know it. At the top of the climb there is a nice stone shelter for some shade and rest.
The trail widens up and becomes very casual and it'll take you up just a little bit more. Shortly after heading down, you'll pass by a standard open space wooden fence. This is where you have some options. You can continue straight on the castle trail and turn left on Parmalee to hit the nice singletrack. This route will shave off 2 or so miles from the ride i'm describing and avoids some steep uphills.
If you feel up to it, turn left on the meadow trail which is some casual singletrack. Stay right past the Old Ute trail and ride a little bit further until you see a turn off for Parmalee and Tower Trail. Tower Trail will take you to the top of Mount Falcon and supply some nice views from a small structure. If you go straight up the Tower Trail, it'll get the blood pumping. It's short but a little steeper than the Castle trail climb. You can continue this past the peak and to the meadow trail but you'll have to ride down some sets of steps that could be intimidating, so be careful. Biking this little loop in the opposite direction will require you to carry your bike up.
When you've finished the Mount Falcon summit, turn down the Parmalee trail. There is a lot of traffic on this trail so be careful of riders and hikers. This trail has a bit of everything so it can be a lot of fun. Going from this direction you'll have a challenging climb back to Castle trail. It's probably the hardest climbing you'll do, but it's not nearly as long as the initial climb so with a rest or two, you should make it just fine.
Once you reach the Castle trail again, you might as well run Parmalee the other direction. Now you'll have some fun downhill and moderate climbing back to the Tower Trail intersection.
Turn right back on the meadow trail and either head to the castle trail to head down or continue with the two last loops.
If you're continuing, head right onto the Old Ute trail. There will be a very short but steep climb with some more water bars until you reach the turn off for Devil's Elbow.
The hardest part of the Devil's elbow is actually the climb out from the loop. There's also a good amount of shade so this loop is the most likely place to see mud. The worst is right at the beginning and can make the climb all the more challenging. I like to go counter clockwise because there is a really fun, short down hill section. Once you're on the loop, there is a short climb and then some nice opportunities for scenic views of the mountains. Push through the climb back to the Old Ute loop and you've pretty much done all the major work.
The rest of Old Ute has some bits of down and up and some interesting sections that aren't terribly hard.
Make you're way back to the Meadow trail, hang a right to meet with the Castle trail, and make the long decent back to the parking lot.
Steady climb all the way to top. Some rocky patches.
The ascent is tough, but the loops on top and the following descent are worth it.
Who needs a fat bike?
