Reaping long-term value from SOA requires a certain level of governance

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) promises so much: easier access to new applications, greater alignment of IT with business objectives, cost savings. But these benefits will be short-term, at best, unless a certain level of discipline is applied to both the development and maintenance of an SOA.
Consider one of the most widely touted benefits of SOA: the ability to reuse services for multiple business processes.
"A lot of people are buying into SOA because they like the concept of reuse," says Jeff Kristick, senior director of product marketing for TIBCO , which offers software to support SOA and business process management projects. "But the reality is when companies start building services, they often build them in a manner that is so specific to their first project that no one could ever reuse them."
Even if they developed services that could be reused, Kristick adds, many SOA early adopters failed to share information about those services with other developers within the enterprise, which means the duplication of effort continues.
Kristick and other experts say companies can avoid such problems—and ensure themselves of accruing long-lasting benefits from SOA—by practicing a newly emerging IT discipline called SOA governance. As the name implies, SOA governance involves establishing rules for how the various elements of an SOA will be built and managed throughout their life cycles.
As a company's SOA expands over time, the task of governing it can become quite complex. There are, however, a number of vendors offering help in this area.
Dow Corning, a Midland, Mich.-based supplier of silicone-based products, governs its SOA through the Systinet 2 platform sold by Hewlett-Packard (HP). Kris Zywicki, enterprise architect, says Dow Corning created its SOA to support business processes that require collaborating with supply chain partners, and the Systinet platform "helped us to fully understand what is required to have a well governed SOA environment—what type of information needs to be visible, how services need to be controlled, and how they can be secured."
The landscape of discovery
In short, Zywicki says, the Systinet platform gave Dow Corning a framework for creating sound SOA development practices, including those for publishing services, or making them "discoverable" to other services or applications. The result is an SOA in which all services are easily accessible—and usable—to anyone responsible for developing new applications or business processes both within Dow Corning and its extended supply chain.
HP assumed ownership of the Systinet platform when it acquired Mercury Interactive , which specializes in solutions for delivering and managing applications across corporate networks, in addition to its SOA governance solutions. When HP announced plans to purchase Mercury last July, analysts said the deal signaled that SOA governance was becoming a major part of the corporate IT management landscape.
Just two months later, webMethods , a supplier of enterprise application integration and business process management software, moved into the SOA governance space by acquiring a company called Infravio.
Miko Matsumura, a former Infravio executive who now serves as VP of SOA strategy at webMethods, says proper governance is important not only for reaping long-term benefits from an SOA, but to prevent poorly designed services—or incorrect use of well-designed services—from disrupting current business operations.
"What's interesting about the reuse of services in an SOA—as opposed to traditional software programs—is that with services you are dealing with these living, potentially cranky and eccentric [pieces of software code] that may or may not even belong to you," Matsumura says. "In an SOA, a service can just say, 'Here's what I have to offer; do whatever you want with it.' That approach allows for combining services in ways that the original designer may not have intended."
For this reason, says Matsumura, webMethods offers a cradle-to-grave approach with its SOA governance tools. The webMethods approach to SOA governance focuses on three stages of the services life cycle: design-time, run-time, and change-time.
Design-time governance involves applying specific rules for defining and creating services. "To establish a robust and successful SOA, it's helpful to design services from the beginning with the idea that someone else might use them," Matsumura says.
Run-time governance entails defining and enforcing policies for deploying services. Change-time governance is a method of ensuring that whenever a change is made to a service, it will not disrupt any existing processes or applications. Matsumura says change-time governance is the most essential component for long-term SOA success because it is recognition of the fact that almost all services will be modified many times.
Ensuring optimal performance
The webMethods SOA product offering includes a product called X-Registry, which Matsumura likens to a catalog or index in which all of a company's services can be listed and described in detail. The registry is used extensively during the design stage of SOA governance.
The company also offers an SOA repository that can serve as a central vault for storing all data—including metadata—related to SOA governance policies. Another product, called X-Broker, is used in the run-time phase to ensure that services are always deployed properly.
As industry experts are quick to point out, however, the ability to design, deploy, and change services is not the only measure of a successful SOA. Companies need assurance that all services on their networks are always performing as intended.
To assist in this area, vendors have developed SOA performance management solutions, which function in similar fashion to traditional IT systems and application performance management solutions.
"Performance management is a critical part of ensuring an SOA implementation works properly," says Jason Bloomberg, a senior analyst with ZapThink , a Baltimore-based IT advisory and analysis firm. "For services to be used effectively, they must meet certain performance levels," Bloomberg says. "That requires a management infrastructure to determine if services are working properly at all times."
Dan Foody, a VP with IT infrastructure vendor Progress Software , says the loosely coupled nature of services in an SOA implementation limits the ability of traditional application management tools to effectively monitor service performance.
Foody describes a hypothetical situation in which two users are accessing the same service and are promised an eight-second response time. Because traditional performance management products usually only measure the average response time of a service, "We don't actually know if we've met the guarantee that we've given to the two different users. We know one of two things: either they're both happy, or one's happy and one's unhappy," says Foody.
Furthermore, different service consumers might have different requirements, so that a longer response time is more acceptable to one user, while the other user requires a shorter response time.
That's why, says Foody, "When you think about measuring performance in an SOA, you actually have to think about it not from the perspective of the services, but from the perspective of the users of the services."
Prevent disruptions
Even though managing SOA services might require unique tools, as Foody says, ZapThink's Bloomberg points out that SOA performance management should not—and cannot—be performed in a silo.
"When you talk about SOA performance management, you can think of that as just managing the services, which are the interfaces to software applications that are used to perform business processes," Bloomberg says. "But that's sort of like managing the frosting and forgetting about the cake. You can't really just think about managing the services as interfaces. Good SOA performance management has to become a part of the broader systems management value proposition."
Bloomberg's philosophy is echoed by CA , a well-known supplier of IT performance management solutions that recently unveiled Wily SOA Manager, a tool for monitoring services in SOA implementations. This product acts as an extension of Wily Introscope, CA's Web application management product.
"Where we excel is being able to isolate a problem because we have such a broad view of the entire infrastructure," says CA Product Manager Karen Jaworski. "We don't just examine what your services are doing. We look at what your [traditional middleware and messaging solutions] are doing; what your database is doing. We can pull all this management information together in a single view."
Jaworski argues that having a single view into the performance of the entire IT infrastructure, and not just the SOA, is key to helping organizations pinpoint any potential problems that could disrupt business operations.
"When you start thinking about a single pane of glass for managing the application infrastructure, it's really much more useful to have an application management product that looks across the entire infrastructure, and not just the services themselves," she says.
CA isn't the only vendor to stress the importance of integrated management tools. For instance, HP positions its SOA solution set as encompassing SOA governance, performance management, and a third element it refers to as quality.
David Butler, HP's chief SOA evangelist, says the quality element focuses on testing services before deployment. But, he adds, HP doesn't just test the services themselves; it also tests how services work with the underlying applications that are involved in executing specific business processes.
"It's very critical that if you're going to put services into an application environment, they should be tested with those applications," says Butler. "I call it testing the whole stack. Some vendors may be testing the SOA service only and not have the ability to test it against the whole application stack or the right use cases."
Butler says HP is the only vendor offering a platform-independent solution that stretches across the SOA governance, performance management, and quality realms. This platform is a set of interconnected products sold under the banner of HP Business Technology Optimization (BTO) for SOA.
"We've integrated each one of those pieces so that we can pass information between governance to quality, between governance to performance management, etc.," Butler says.
Clearly, tools like those offered by HP and other vendors moving into the SOA governance space can help IT organizations better manage their architectures. But ZapThink's Bloomberg doesn't advise buying any software to manage an SOA before determining what business processes the SOA will support, and the types of services that will be needed to execute those processes.
"You need to think about SOA governance from the very beginning," Bloomberg says. "But you don't have to go out and buy a bunch of software at the very beginning."
Bloomberg says the best way to build an SOA is by defining the architecture and business processes, and using that information to develop services. "At some point you'll need to consider purchasing software," he says, "but you don't want to start there. You don't get an SOA by buying software."

Avoid Avoid!
it was a trial and i will never ever use this number again , especially not from a Vodafone mobile.
They charged me 6.33 for 3m 43s; The 118500 employee couldn't find the number of the restaurant i was looking for even though i spelled them the name and gave them the exact adress (including post code!). Fortunately for my bank account, i suggested her to use google....then as magic she found the number im less than 5 seconds. These guys are thiefs!
avoid using them and buy a smart phone, it is cheaper.

Tuition fees - currently £1,125 a year - were controversial enough, but now the government wants to introduce top-up fees from 2006, which would allow universities to charge more, up to £3,000 a year. The proposal will be debated by parliament this autumn and, if introduced, they will further increase debt levels with graduates from the best colleges likely to be the most burdened. The top universities, such as Oxbridge, Durham and Imperial College, are likely to charge students the full £3,000 a year. But unlike current system of tuition fees, top-up fees would be repayable only after graduation.
Student campaigners warn of a generation of graduates saddled with lifelong debts. Student debts , they say, could prevent graduates saving up for things such as a mortgage or a pension until they are much older and have paid for their studies which, combined with ever-increasing house prices, could put them at a real disadvantage when it comes to getting on the property ladder.
The government argument is that graduates earn vastly more over the course of a working life - in the region of £400,000, it claims - and so can handle the debt. But the NUS points out that though some graduates are very well paid, salaries can range from £4,000 to £40,000, depending on the region and sector.
The good news is you can get a student loan to help you through those penny-watching years at university. The maximum amount of loan you will be able to take out in 2003/04 is £4,000 for those students living away from home; £4,930 for students in London living away from home; and £3,165 for students living at home. All students are eligible for 75% of the loan, regardless of any other income. Whether you can get any or all of the remaining 25% depends on your and your family's income and an assessment by your local education authority.
Your LEA will calculate how much of the loan you are entitled to, and you should apply to it for an assessment as soon as you have an offer of a place. The closer it gets to term time, the more inundated the LEAs will be and the more likely it is that your application will get caught in a queue and your cheque not arrive in time. You can, however, apply for assessment up to four months into the academic year.
Once the LEA has decided how much loan you are entitled to, it will tell the government-owned Student Loans Company (SLC), which actually issues the cheques. The SLC will then send your cheque straight to your university, ready to be picked up when you register. Loans are usually paid in three instalments over the course of the year.
You will have to reapply to your LEA for a fresh income assessment every year. Additional money is available to students with children or other dependents, the disabled and those with other special needs. Universities will also often offer financial help in the form of loans or grants to students who need it.
At present, graduates start repaying their loans as soon as they are earning £10,000. The government is planning to raise this threshold to £15,000 in 2006, which could come in just in time for students starting their studies this year.
The same year could also see the introduction of top-up fees, but in 2003/04, the most any student studying at an English or Welsh university will be asked to contribute towards their fees is £1,125 (universities in Scotland do not charge fees to Scottish students, who instead contribute a graduate endowment of around £2,000 when they graduate).
Many students will contribute less than this, depending on their family income. Students who rely financially on their parents - which includes most school leavers - and whose parents' residual income is less than £20,970 a year will make no contribution towards fees. Parents who earn between £20,970 and £31,230 will be asked to pay part of the contribution, calculated on a sliding scale. Families who earn £31,231 or more will be expected to pay the full fee contribution of £1,125 a year.
Students who are financially independent of their parents - usually mature or married students who have been financially self-sufficient for at least three years - and whose family income is less than £18,040 make no contribution. If income is between £18,040 and £26,679, a partial contribution will be made. Anything above £26,690 and the full fee of £1,125 must be paid.
For further information on fees and loans, contact your LEA, or the DfES on 0800 731 9133 or through its website, www.lifelonglearning. co.uk/moneytolearn The website of the National Union of Students, www.nus.org, has general advice on all aspects of student life and a section on student finance. www.studentuk.com and www.studentzone.org.uk also have useful information.
Cost of university
In the article Earn as you learn, published in our Clearing supplement on August 14, some figures quoted related to the academic year 2002/3. For students starting university this autumn, tuition fees will be £1,125 a year. Students with parents earning less than £20,970 will pay no fees. Those earning between £20,970 and £31,230 pay part fees, on a sliding scale, and those earning £31,231 or more pay the full amount. Scottish students at Scottish insitutions pay no fees.
If you'll be living in London, you will be entitled to a maximum student loan of £4,930, which drops to £4,000 outside the capital. If you're living at home, you can apply for up to £3165.

Keeping your call center running—and keeping it running efficiently—is hard work. In order to improve call center performance while still cutting costs, you must consider every aspect of operations, most importantly how to reduce agent attrition, improve workforce management, increase sales effectiveness, and optimize agent QA efficiency. Transcribing your call center recordings allows you to search and analyze 100% of your agent-customer interactions for detailed insights that you can leverage to make informed decisions based on actual data, rather than gut instinct.
Agent turnover is the biggest challenge facing call center managers today. Not only does it force you to devote time and money to constantly finding and training new agents, but unhappy agents are less productive, less engaged, and—worst of all—less motivated to speak highly of your company.
Transcribing your call center interactions gives you an inside look into what your agents are thinking and how they feel about their jobs and the company. With Voci's voice transcription capabilities, not only can you search 100% of your transcripts, but you can also use speaker separation to specifically review the agent side of the conversation and better understand the agent experience. Voci's call center transcripts come with emotional intelligence scores so that you can jump right to the calls where your agents are unhappy to begin your analysis.
Call transcription and analytics also allows you to find successful calls and share these with your agents to boost agent engagement. With Voci's V-Spark Voice Analytics platform, you can even configure a shareable agent scorecard so your agents can track their own performance and even learn how to improve without formal training.
Having a searchable database of all your customer interactions at your fingertips can reveal valuable insights for reducing call volume, increasing agent productivity, and optimizing agent training. Using speech analytics to evaluate agent performance helps you identify which areas of agent training need to be improved and which business processes slow agents down, so you can apply this information to improving agent training to boost agent efficiency, reduce average handle time, and increase first call resolution.
Not only can speech analytics lead to data-driven process improvements, it also allows you to monitor whether agents are following proper procedures so that you have a true understanding of training effectiveness as well as each agent's strengths and weaknesses, enabling you to make informed decisions about staffing.
Closing sales is the simplest way to demonstrate that your call center is providing value. Being able to transcribe and analyze all of your sales calls rather than manually listening to just a small sample allows you to see the whole picture of the sales process.
Voci's speech analytics platform enables you to automatically sort sales calls according to their success or failure. By comparing successful calls to unsuccessful calls and analyzing the differences between top-performing agents and under-performing agents, you can identify which sales strategies are most effective for each type of customer and which words could make or break a sale. These insights can then be used to improve sales training and close more sales, faster. Not only that, but these insights can also be used to inform your company's marketing strategy and attract more customers.
Reviewing your call center calls for quality assurance is time consuming and costly and, even after all the effort expended to complete your manual review, you're still only able to evaluate a tiny fraction of each agent's calls. Five calls per agent per month simply does not provide you with enough information to accurately judge an agent's performance.
With speech recognition and analytics you can turn 100% of your agents' calls into searchable transcripts, increasing the efficiency of the QA process and broadening the scope of your agent monitoring capabilities. Voci's speech analytics platform enables you to automate call review to make sure your agents meet compliance requirements and even detect any attempts of fraud. Automating call review also allows your QA team to be more productive by tapping into keywords and emotional intelligence to perform targeted sampling of the most important customer calls. Having access to 100% of a customer interaction allows V-Spark to disposition customer calls for you based on what the agent and client actually say, preserving the integrity of your data and relieving your agents of the burden of call dispositioning so they can handle more calls throughout the day.

Current Crop Topics
The latest information on crop management and agronomy issues in field and horticultural crops in Manitoba.
Early September Frost - Impact on Soybeans
- Frost during the R5 stage can reduce yield by 50%-70%.
- Frost at the R6 stage can reduce yield by 20%-30%.
- Frost at the R7 stage can reduce yield by only about 5%.
- At the R8 stage no yield reductions are expected.
Getting good strip yield data with calibrated yield monitors
Likewise scrutiny and calibration is required when using yield monitors for strip trial tests. Last year we compared harvest weights from strip trial yields in on-farm-tests looking at nitrogen and wheat protein. Several farms had scaled grain carts in addition to their combine yield monitor (Figure 1) and all plots were measured with a weigh wagon. Figures 2 and 3 shows the trends of grain cart and yield monitor data versus the weigh wagon yield (solid line).
Figure 1. Comparing yield measuring systems – combine yield monitor, scaled grain cart and weigh wagon.
Farm A – with scaled grain cart used to calibrate yield monitor. Yields follow trend of weigh wagon weights and are within 2 bu/ac.
So if yield monitors are being used to measure strip trial yields, I encourage growers to calibrate often with their scaled grain carts or a weigh wagon if available. The measurements we made were in dry wheat but if crop strips are of varying moisture content, more frequent calibration may be warranted.
Potassium Deficiencies in Maturing CropsSeveral of our maturing crops are now exhibiting deficiency symptoms that are too late to correct, but important to address for next year.
Potassium (K) is often overlooked in much of Manitoba due to our naturally high K levels in clay and clay loam soils. But deficiencies on lighter textured soils are increasing – particularly with soybeans.
Sometimes odd strips occur of alternating deficient and normal soybeans occur in fields. These are often related to a previous canola or cereal swath that has had the K leach out of the swath into the soil beneath, and hence marginally increasing K supply in that strip.
If either of these symptoms are observed, a K deficiency can be readily identified with a traditional soil K test and a recommendation will be made for future K fertilization.
Alternating strips of varying potassium deficiency in maturing soybeans due to previous canola swaths.
Managing Water Hemlock in Hayland and Pasture
Poisonous Plants of the Carrot Family
Because of our experience with crops and weeds, it's no surprise that the general public often turns to agronomists for plant identification and management advice. And it's usually about this time of year – when Ontario puts out giant hogweed advisories and big white umbels are in bloom across Manitoba – that these calls start to pour in.
Cow Parsnip
Fortunately, it's probably not giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) since that invasive species has yet to be found in our province. It's more likely another member of the carrot family – cow parsnip (Heracleum maximum). Unlike its giant cousin, cow parsnip is native to Manitoba and non-invasive. It's also very attractive to pollinators.
But even though it's probably not giant hogweed, it's still best not to touch it. Because, much like its giant cousin, the sap of cow parsnip may cause dermatitis when in contact with exposed skin. Symptoms include photosensitivity, a rash and/or blisters. Reactions to cow parsnip sap are generally much less severe than those to giant hogweed sap.
Information on identification of cow parsnip and giant hogweed is available from Manitoba Agriculture:

Spotted Wing Drosophila Surveillance Program- Update July 11, 2017
Raspberries: As raspberries start to change colour and ripen in mid-July, an insecticide could be applied to protect that harvest which is expected to start in 1-2 weeks time, then repeat with an alternate insecticide 7-10 days later (see list and link below).
- As more wild hosts and other commercial berry crops begin to ripen, expect SWD numbers to start building up significantly by late July.
- Berries are susceptible to SWD infestation from the start colour starts to appear on the berry all the way through harvest. Producers have many chemical control options to control SWD (see link below).
- It is important to constantly rotate every application through different insecticide chemical groups to avoid potential insecticide resistance issues with SWD.
More on the spotted wing drosophila.
Managing Winter Killed Hay and Pasture Fields
If it is decided that a stand is sufficiently compromised that renovation is needed, some factors need to be considered. Alfalfa plants produce toxins (called medicarpins in the leaves) that reduce the germination and growth of new alfalfa seedlings. Older stands have produced medicarpins longer and therefore have more of a build up or concentration in the soil around the plant where the leaves drop to in the fall of the year. Generally the medicarpins are within 41 cm of the crown, so reseeding or over seeding alfalfa into these areas results in limited success.
Medicarpins break down over time, so a break from alfalfa for a year is sufficient time to allow for successful re-establish of alfalfa on that field.
Sod or no-till seeding can be a successful way of renovating old stands so long as the above information has been considered. These are some tips for successful germination and emergence of sod seeded forages.
- Soil test and apply fertilizer as required, especially phosphorus (P).
- Suppress competition from the existing vegetation, especially under drier soil conditions. 1.5 L/acre glyphosate (480 g/L formulation) will suppress the vegetation for about 60 days.
- Use seeding equipment appropriate for sod seeding conditions.
- Packing (in furrow or land roller) will slow drying of the soil and allow seeds to imbibe water more easily.
- Plant shallow, i.e. 19 mm or less. Small seeds do not have enough energy in the seed to emerge from deep plantings.
- Check seeding depth and packing regularly while seeding.

Manitoba Weed Update - June 21, 2017Despite rainy and windy conditions, early post-emergent herbicide applications are nearing completion in most crops. Emergence of cool season annual weeds was relatively unaffected by earlier cool, dry conditions while emergence of warm season annual weeds was delayed, resulting in herbicide staging issues for some producers. Emergence of warm season annuals, like redroot pigweed and barnyard grass, is now well underway due to recent rainfall.
- Black nightshade
Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum) is a warm season annual problematic in potato, dry bean and soybean production. What to look for: small seedlings with pointed ovate cotyledons, currently in the cotyledon to early true leaf stage (see picture submitted to MB Ag).
- Galinsoga species
Hairy galinsoga (Galinsoga quadriradiata) and smallflower galinsoga (Galinsoga parviflora) are annual species also referred to as 'quickweed' based on their ability to set seed within only weeks after emerging. What to look for: toothed, opposite leaves and 'club' shaped cotyledons.
- Oak-leaved goosefoot
Of the various goosefoot species coming in for identification, oak-leaved goosefoot (Chenopodium glaucum) has been the most common. What to look for: goosefoot shaped leaf, often with distinct yellow-green veins. Stems may be red and green to red. Typically grows more prostrate than lamb's-quarters. Oak-leaved goosefoot does especially well in wet and/or saline areas.
Don't Overlook Group 2 Herbicide Resistance
The following practices can help reduce the risk of developing herbicide resistant weeds and/or managing existing resistant weed populations:
- Diversifying your crop rotation;
- Using multiple herbicide MOAs effective on target weeds (e.g. herbicide 'layering', tank mixing);
- Practising good basic agronomy (variety selection, seeding rates, etc.);
- Judicial use of tillage.
If you suspect group 2 resistance in a weed species on your farm, it's best to verify this by herbicide-resistance testing. Unfortunately there's no quick method - seed from the suspect population needs to be allowed to mature and collected. Samples can be submitted to AgQuest for testing in Manitoba.
In my opinion, knowing if you have group 2 resistance and assessing your risk factors is worth it. Because while glyphosate resistance is grabbing headlines, group 2 resistance may be quietly growing in your fields.
Testing Weeds for Herbicide-Resistance
- The distribution of escaped weeds: Herbicide-resistant weeds tend to occur in patches as opposed to geometric patterns (e.g. spray miss) or throughout the field (e.g. tolerant weeds).
- Possibility of reduced herbicide efficacy: 2016 was a challenging year for weed management due to untimely and excessive rainfall. In many cases, weeds escaped because of herbicide application timing with respect to weed growth stage, limited herbicide choices because of crop growth stage (when producers finally could get on their fields) and product rainfastness.
- Weed species: Annual weed species, like wild oat, green foxtail, cleavers, kochia, hemp-nettle, smartweeds, ragweeds and wild mustard, may be more likely to develop resistance compared with other weed species. Because the development of herbicide-resistance is based on chance, resistant weed patches are typically a single species, as opposed to non-resistant weed escapes, which may affect multiple weed species.
Suspect weed escapes can be confirmed as resistant or susceptible by herbicide-resistance testing. For most weeds, dry, mature seed is required for the analysis. Although more is better, many labs require at least 100 g of small weed seeds (e.g. cleavers) and 200-250 g of large weed seeds (e.g. wild oat). Weed seed samples should be submitted by December 31, 2016 to either:
- AgQuest: www.agquest.com/misc/2016ResistanceBrochure.pdf; or the
- Saskatchewan Crop Protection Laboratory: www.saskatchewan.ca/business/agriculture-natural-resources-and-industry/agribusiness-farmers-and-ranchers/agricultural-programs-and-services/crops-programs/crop-protection-laboratory-services/submit-samples/herbicide-resistance-testing-samples.
Waterhemp Now A Manitoba Weed
Biennial wormwood – Despite its name, biennial wormwood behaves like an annual in agricultural fields. When scouting, estimate the average growth stage of biennial wormwood populations in a field. If the majority of the plants have already set seed, a fall herbicide application won't help. An application may be worthwhile only if there is a large flush of biennial wormwood that haven't set seed and are less than ~3 inches tall. Herbicide tank-mixes containing glyphosate + group 4 are more effective than glyphosate + group 2 on this weed.Round-leaved mallow (RLM) – This annual weed can act as either a winter annual or a short-lived perennial, although it is more sensitive to freezing than our common winter annuals. Mild winters in 2015 & 2016 provided the right conditions for RLM to overwinter, allowing it to become (even more) problematic in certain fields over the last few growing seasons. Long range forecasters are predicting a harsh winter across the prairies this year, which should control RLM. However, if you have little faith in forecasts and decide to apply a herbicide, glyphosate mixed with either Distinct or DyVel DSp has activity on this weed.Stork's bill – Like biennial wormwood, stork's bill tends to be predominantly an annual in Manitoba. If this is a problem weed for you, scout affected fields to determine average weed stage. Again, if most of your stork's bill has set seed you're better off working on a plan for next year. Stork's bill, especially larger plants, is relatively tolerant of many herbicides. If you decide to apply a herbicide because of stork's bill this fall, glyphosate + group 2 or glyphosate + group 2 + group 4 on weeds up to the 4 to 6 leaf stage is probably your best bet.
Soil Fumigants
Prior to using soil fumigants read the entire product label. More information on the below requirements for use can be found on the product label.
Requirements for the use of soil fumigants include:
- Soil fumigation licence: Soil fumigants are only to be used by individuals holding a soil fumigation licence. This restriction applies to all handlers of soil fumigants. Soil fumigation certification is currently not available in Manitoba. Users of soil fumigants are required to certify in Ontario and apply for a licence in Manitoba. More information on certification and licensing can be found below.
- A Fumigation Management Plan (FMP) for all soil fumigation applications: A FMP must be developed prior to the start of any application. Instructions for the preparation of a FMP are required to be on the product label. To create a FMP follow label instructions or use the template found at: https://www.opep.ca/index.cfm/information/forms/
- Mandatory Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs): GAPs improve the safety and efficacy of soil fumigation and must be followed during all fumigant applications. These application practices include monitoring of weather conditions, soil preparation, monitoring of soil temperature and moisture, and proper soil sealing.
- Notification: The applicator must verbally warn workers of the application. Fumigant Application signs must be posted on all entrances to the application block.
- Restrictions for workers re-entering treated areas: Only workers involved in soil fumigant application are allowed in the treated area following application. See label for duration of restriction.
- Buffer zone: A buffer zone is an area established around the perimeter of the treated area where entry by anyone other than fumigant handlers is prohibited. A buffer zone must be established for every fumigant application. Buffer zone distances are based on factors such as application rate, area treated, and the application method. See product label for information on determining buffer zone distances.
Steps to obtaining a soil fumigation licence:
- Complete the Application for Pesticide Certification
- The application form is available on the Ontario Pesticide Training and Certification (OPT&C) website under Exterminator Training: http://www.ontariopesticide.com/index.cfm/exterminator-training/

Sydney councils are creating bicycle lanes that are more dangerous for cyclists than riding among the city's buses, taxis and trucks, bicycle groups warn.
And councils were spending thousands of dollars on badly designed cycleways that experienced riders chose to avoid, said the vice-president of the lobby group BIKEast, Adrian Ross.
The most dangerous type of bicycle lane was one shared with parked cars, he said. "When somebody opens a car door, you can't stay in the [cycle] lane and you have to move into the traffic ... where you can get into trouble and be hurt by a car."
Shared lanes had been created in Surry Hills, Redfern and Liverpool, he said.
Forty per cent of all cyclist injuries in the CBD, and 17 per cent in Sydney as a whole, are caused by car doors being opened, Austroads figures show.
Over the next two years, Woollahra Council will spend $250,000 on bicycle facilities, including a lane to be shared with buses. Randwick Council will spend $180,000 on a new bicycle plan, part of it on shared parking and bicycle lanes in Kensington.
The City of Sydney will spend $14.1 million on pedestrian and bicycle networks over the next four years and says it will provide dedicated cycle lanes where possible.
A spokeswoman for Randwick Council, Louisa Simeonidis, said shared zones were safe on residential streets, according to guidelines from the Roads and Traffic Authority.
Fiona Campbell, a cyclist and member of Bike Sydney, is not convinced.
Ms Campbell cycles from her home in Marrickville to work in Martin Place each weekday but will not ride in the bicycle lane, preferring to take her chances among the traffic.
"Even if there is a bike lane, I ride in the middle of the car lane because I believe a bike lane marks out the most dangerous part of the road for cyclists," she said.
Unsafe lanes for bicycles are not the only problem for Sydney cyclists. Last month the Roads and Traffic Authority cut its bike funding by about two-thirds to $5.6 million, only 0.17 per cent of its budget for building roads.
The number of trips to work by cyclists in Sydney is also low. Only 0.5 per cent of commuter trips in Sydney are on bicycles, compared with 4.6 per cent in Perth and 3.2 per cent in Melbourne.
A spokesman for Bicycle NSW, Alex Unwin, said more people would use bikes in Sydney if the cycle network was complete.
Sydney had great cycleways on the Anzac and Harbour bridges, he said, but they did not connect with dedicated lanes at the ends.
Mr Ross said the number of bicycles commuters was low because the present lanes were unsafe or in the wrong places.
"[The Minister for Roads, Michael] Costa, says there are 3000 kilometres of bike lanes in the state; but many of them are in regional NSW, and in Sydney many of them are in the western suburbs, where there's no strong cycling culture. "They are very good recreational facilities but they're not doing much for commuters."
Campaign for sydney
- The campaign argues that cycling lane investment should focus on local trips, with the networks then connected.
- Planning of city's local and regional centres should prioritise cycling and walking from their immediate catchments to cut short car trips.
- Most local areas across Sydney are relatively flat and are suited to the mode. [email protected]

After a long struggle with pneumonia complicated by asthma, I'm finally feeling somewhat normal again and posting more regularly. It's good to be back! My last BOTB was a month ago. How time flies when you're
having funsick and miserable.
BATTLE OF THE BANDS (BOTB), hosted by Far Away Series and StMcC Presents Battle of the Bands. is where you listen to different recordings of the same song and vote for the one you like best. Two "Battles" per month, on the 1st and 15th. Votes will be tallied and posted the following week. (See below for further details.)
Since we'll be attending "The Who Hits 50" concert tonight, and it's Roger Daltry's birthday, I've chosen one of their songs. Not just any song, but a rebellious anthem for my generation, the Baby Boomers.
Roger Daltrey – lead vocals, guitar, harmonica / Pete Townshend – guitar, vocals/
Zak Starkey – drums / Simon Townshend – guitar, backing vocals /Pino Palladino – bass guitar
[reference only – please do not vote on this one]
The Who are an English rock band that formed in 1964. Their classic line-up consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide and establishing their reputation equally on live shows and studio work.
Pete Townshend wrote this on a train ride from London to Southampton on May 19, 1965 – his 20th birthday. In a 1987 Rolling Stone magazine interview, he explained: "'My Generation' was very much about trying to find a place in society. I was very, very lost. The band was young then. It was believed that its career would be incredibly brief." Townshend wrote this for rebellious British youths known as "Mods." It expressed their feelings that older people just don't get it. He called My Generation "The only really successful social comment I've ever made."
The song was released as a single on 29 October 1965, reaching No. 2 in the UK, the Who's highest charting single in their home country and No. 74 in America, where they were lesser known. "My Generation" also appeared on The Who's 1965 debut album, My Generation (The Who Sings My Generation in the United States), and in greatly extended form on their live album Live at Leeds (1970).
The foregoing serves as background information only.
Now, on to the actual contest……
Hollywood Vampires is an American rock super-group formed in 2015 by Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry to honor the music of the rock stars who died from excess in the 1970s. The band name derives from The Hollywood Vampires, a celebrity drinking club formed by Cooper in the 1970s whose members included Ringo Starr and Keith Moon.
They have released one studio album, Hollywood Vampires (2015), featuring guest appearances by Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Joe Walsh and Dracula star Christopher Lee, among others. "My Generation" is the 3rd track.
Slow Feet (a play on Eric Clapton's nickname, "Slow Hand".) is an Italian blues/rock band founded in Milan, circa 2005. Their debut album, Elephant Memory was released in 2007. "My Generation" is the 1st track.
Information on this band is skimpy, but there is a Facebook page.
