    Rome - Shoring System Failure

    Shoring system failure in Rome, even though this is called a "sinkhole". Looks like some sort of secant wall system based on the photos. Should be interesting to see how this gets worked out. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/15/europe/rome-sinkhole-intl/index.html Mike Lambert

    Daates and Scatter Plots

    Does anyone have a method to format the axis of a scatter plot such that the first day of each month or the first day of each quarter, etc. is labeled? I know you can set the label frequency to a certain number of days, i.e. 30 or 90, but that quickly gets off the desired label frequency...
