prestige, desire, and the mystique of brands. Forever 21 can knock off Prada, but people who buy Prada will know the difference."
Shouldn't we expect the same from our games as well? Shouldn't we, as a game-buying public, be able to tell the difference between Minecraft and its clone?
Rather than going after cloners, game designers should be targeting the institutions that enhance the public's understanding of what games are and how they work. Those are the places where "credit" is handed out: that means schools, museums, and media organizations that often don't have passing knowledge of how games are even made. Game designers should be partnering more with museums, inviting non-game designers like musicians into their world, and teaching students about their craft.
Grimmelmann adds that literacy around games is paramount to dealing with cloners. "We won't make Zynga go away," he says. "They're doing something that is shameful. Maybe it gets people playing games, but there's a better way, and people who make games artistically ought to have commercial audiences." An informed public is a powerful public, and the only way to stop clones is to disgrace them. But that conversation only works if all who play games are onboard, not just those that make them.
The problem isn't with clones. The problem is with us.

Regarding this, what does full assist mean?
Total Dependence (Two + Assist) Full performance by others during entire period. o Can be broken down into moderate assist (hands on assist required most of. the time by two persons to maintain task), heavy assist (high level of caution.
Secondly, what are FIM levels? The FIM is an 18-item ordinal scale, used with all diagnoses within a rehabilitation population. FIM scores range from 1 to 7 (1 = total assist and 7 = complete independence). The FIM measures independent performance in self-care, sphincter control, transfers, locomotion, communication, and social cognition.
Also Know, what are the three levels of assistance in transfers?
Terms in this set (23)
 - Levels of Assistance. Independent, Supervision, Stand by assist/close guarding.
 - Independent. Patient is consistently able to perform the activity safely.
 - Supervision.
 - Stand by assist/close guarding.
 - Contact Guard Assist.
 - Minimal Assistance.
 - Moderate Assistance.

What is ambulation and mobility?
Mobility is the ability to move (which could include just the arms, for instance), while ambulation means walking, specifically.
What does assisted ambulation mean?
To ambulate with assistance means to help an individual get on their feet and start walking with the help of someone else or something.
What general actions would you take when assisting a person to ambulate?
To help a patient back to bed, have patient stand with back of knees touching the bed. Grasp the gait belt and help patient into a sitting position, keeping your back straight and knees bent. Allowing a patient to rest after ambulation helps prevent fatigue.
What is the correct lifting equipment to use for a person who can weight bear but is not able to ambulate?
A sit to stand lifter, like the Quickraiser, is used for persons who are able to weight bear. A sling lifter is designed for people who are unable to participate in the transfer and cannot weight bear.
What does functional mobility mean?
Functional mobility is defined as the manner in which people are able to move around in the environment in order to participate in the activities of daily living and, move from place to place. Movements include standing, bending, walking and climbing.
What is physical assistance?

Are Nordost cables directional?
Yes, Nordost cables are directional. This is especially true for single ended (RCA) interconnects as the shield is connected at the source or output end only.
Which way do directional arrows point on Nordost cables?
The directional arrows always point away from the source. For example, from a CD player to an amplifier, the arrows should point towards the preamplifier or power amplifier. On a speaker cable the arrows would always point towards the loudspeaker
How can cables be directional?
When cables are manufactured they do not have any directionality. However, as they break in, they acquire directionality.
Although the cable signal is an alternating current, small impurities in the conductor act as diodes allowing signal flow to be better in one direction over time. This effect is also called quantum tunneling, which has been observed in experiments over 25 years ago. Regardless of the purity of the metal used, there are still diode effects in all conductors. In addition, the insulation material will change when it is subjected to an electrical field.

This is a pretty basic question, but I can't get my head around it. I'm learning Linux and one of the questions i've been given is;
*The word sentimentalment includes the same three characters (e.g. "ent") which appear three times. The word "blayblapblam" also contains the same three characters repeated three time (e.g. "bla").
How many words can you find which contain any three characters repeated three times, like the examples "sentimentalment" and "blayblapblam", but which also begin with lower case "d". Use /usr/share/dict/words as your list of possible words and grep to find the answer. The "d" is not one of the characters considered when detecting the three-character strings.*
So far, I can return instances where the same three letters appear twice;
grep -E '^d(...).*\1' /usr/share/dict/words > output
Which to me reads, look for a word beginning with 'd', then combination of three letters, 0 or more characters before the same group (1) appearing again.
I've tried the following;
grep -E '^d(...).*\1.*\1' /usr/share/dict/words > output
Which if my understanding is correct (which it obviously isn't), returns group one, then zero or more characters, then group one again.
Can someone point out where I'm going wrong? Any help is appreciated.

A Programming Job Interview Challenge #13
Basically the question this is looking to solve is handling proper expression syntax/precedence similar to the standard calculator problem of solving 5+5/5=6 as opposed to solving it as 2.
Example of a legal expression: "([](<{}>))".
Example of an illegal expression: "({<)>}".
Which involes a much simpler version of Prefix or PostFix/Reverse Polish Notation ( _URL_ ) than the math expression since there are only pairs of operations. A rather basic psuedo code implementation of this could be done as follows
HashTable Close [ ")" -> "(", "}" -> "{", ">" -> "<", "]" -> "[" ]; Stack holder;
Read expression
do while not end of expression {
if(close.ContainsKey(expression[i])) –Check to see if letter is a closing operand
{ –Reached closing operand, top of stack should be matching opening operand
if(close[expression[i]!= stack.PopTop()) throw InvalidExpressionException
Push (expr[i])
} –Do looping to end of expression

In San Jose, California, stands an unlived-in mansion, a Victorian pile with 160 rooms, 40 staircases, 467 doors, and 10,000 windows. The house's eccentric chambers, tortuous hallways, and stairways to nowhere today stand as testament to the damaged, bereaved psyche of the lonely widow who designed it. Built on the tragic fortune of "the gun that won the West," this is the Winchester Mystery House, the inspiration and setting for Jeremy Blake's Winchester film trilogy. Melding Blake's signature digital abstractions with footage of the mansion, the work interrogates traditional cinematic modes of storytelling; cultural mythologies surrounding guns, violence, and the American West; and the relationship between physical and simulated reality in the digital age.
In this publication, curator Benjamin Weil considers the Winchester trilogy in the context of the artist's career, and architecture critic Mitchell Schwarzer examines the San Jose mansion and its surroundings as a peculiar convergence of three built environments: the Winchester house, the aging Century Theatres complex across the street, and the Mediterranean-style Santana Row commercial development. Lush plates presenting sequences from all three works are accompanied by artist statements that provide insight into Blake's myriad motivations and rich symbolic vocabulary.

Urge Surfing: Riding Out the Craving
urge surfing and meditation
They walked across the sand in the early morning light, surfboards under their arms. They strode into the surf. As the water grew deeper, they stretched out on their boards and paddled out. They turned to face the shore, waiting for a wave. A wave came, and they rode it to shore, feeling the ocean's power beneath them.
Surfing is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. In 2019, the International Surfing Association estimated that 35 million people worldwide surfed and anticipated that the number would rise. Surfing has captured our imaginations and been the subject or backdrop for many movies and songs. It has also inspired a method called "urge surfing" to "ride out" a craving.
Background of "Urge Surfing"
"Urge surfing" is a type of mini-meditation. The term is ascribed to G. Alan Marlatt, Ph.D., founder and director of the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at the University of Washington.
According to Marlatt's interview in the magazine Inquiring Mind, Marlatt worked with a man who wanted to quit smoking. The man happened to be a surfer, so Marlatt used surfing terminology in conversation with the man. Marlatt explained that urges, like ocean waves, grow bigger and bigger as they near the shore, and then they dissipate. Urges don't last forever, and neither do waves; both dissipate. The smoker was learning to meditate as part of the center's program; Marlatt encouraged him to think of his breath as a surfboard that would enable him to "ride out" the urge. The smoker used the surfing analogy as he worked to ride out the urge to smoke, and after about five weeks, he had stopped smoking completely.
How to Urge Surf
If you want to try urge surfing, remember that it is a form of mindfulness. Urges will pass by themselves, but urge surfing gives you a different way of outlasting the craving.
As you begin to experience an urge for whatever substance or behavior you have given up, imagine that the urge is a wave in the ocean that will start, crest, and subside. Urges generally start small before growing in size or strength and then go away. To practice urge surfing the next time a craving comes up, follow the steps below:
 - Sit quietly and comfortably
 - Observe your breath without trying to change it
 - Notice your thoughts
 - Bring your attention back to your breath without judging, feeding, or fighting your thoughts
 - Notice where the craving affects your body. Where in your body are you experiencing the craving?
 - Bring your attention to an area of the body where you feel the craving and notice what is happening in your body; see if these bodily sensations change as you inhale or exhale
 - Bring your attention to another part of your body where you are feeling the urge and repeat the process
 - Be curious about the urge of craving and how it changes
Why You Should Practice Urge Surfing
Urge surfing is another tool to use in maintaining sobriety. The key to urge surfing is that instead of wishing the craving would go away, trying to suppress the craving, or fighting the urge, you are exploring the urge; you are becoming curious about the urge. You are going into the urge and are interested in the experience. As you study the craving and changes in it over time, you might find that the urge subsides.
In the interview with Marlatt that appeared in Inquiring Mind, he described urges and cravings from a Buddhist perspective. He said that you cannot eliminate urges and cravings. They will happen, and you can find a way of recognizing what's happening inside as you experience the cravings. By "riding the urge out," you can accept the urge without giving in to your cravings.
As you practice urge surfing more, you will find that urges don't last as long. If you fight an urge, however, you are giving it more energy or feeding it. Trying to fight a craving has been likened to trying to stop a wave or a waterfall.
Likewise, we are sometimes told not to think about whatever it is we are craving. The more you try not to think about something, like eating chocolate cake, the more you think about eating chocolate cake.
Consider our surfers from the opening of this post. They didn't fight the wave, and they didn't try to suppress or ignore the wave. Instead, they went with the wave. They used the immense power of the ocean to get them to the shore.

The Dark Saltflat Tiger Beetle (Cicindela parowana) is a metallic green (dorsally and ventrally) beetle with distinct pattern of white markings on its wings. This species reaches 1.2 cm in length, and has bulbous eyes, slender legs and antennae, and a characteristic hop and fly escape movement similar to other tiger beetles.
The Dark Saltflat Tiger Beetle, subspecies wallisi, was assessed as Endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) and is listed as Endangered in Canada on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA). In British Columbia, Dark Saltflat Tiger Beetle is ranked S1 (critically imperiled) by the Conservation Data Centre and is on the provincial Red list. The B.C. Conservation Framework ranks Dark Saltflat Tiger Beetle as a priority 1 under goal 3 (maintain the diversity of native species and ecosystems). Recovery is considered to be biologically and technically feasible.
The Dark Saltflat Tiger Beetle may have always been rare within the ecosystems of the southern Okanagan. Dark Saltflat Tiger Beetle was thought to be extirpated from Canada as extensive searches throughout the Okanagan Valley had failed to record the species within its known range. Historical records are from sites with vague site names and unclear habitat associations, and were also collected over 50 years ago. This vague information makes it difficult to describe habitat associations and search historical sites. However, upon going through unidentified specimens, it was noted that a specimen had been collected in 1996 outside of Oliver. Subsequently, the species has also been recorded in 2011 near Oliver. Only two extant sites are currently known.
The two extant records for Dark Saltflat Tiger Beetle are within open ponderosa pine forest habitats, and not typical of the salt flat or alkaline habitats where the species was thought to have been collected historically. Thus, the species may still be within unchecked sparsely vegetated open ponderosa pine habitats. Once the habitat parameters for this species are better understood, more targeted surveys within the southern Okanagan can be conducted.
No significant threats are known at the two extant Dark Saltflat Tiger Beetle sites; however, there may be threats to this species in unchecked habitat where it could still be found. Although historical threats to the species are unknown, it is likely that the habitat loss of sandy alkaline habitats and the more open habitats in the Okanagan Valley bottom has had an impact on this species.
The recovery (population and distribution) goal is to maintain all extant populations of Dark Saltflat Tiger Beetle across the species? range in British Columbia.
The following are the recovery objectives:
1.To secure protection for all known extant sites of Dark Saltflat Tiger Beetle.
2.To address knowledge gaps (e.g., range extent within the south Okanagan, habitat requirements for each life stage, species-specific threats).

TY - JOUR T1 - Association between food insecurity and gestational diabetes mellitus: A casecontrol study TT - ارتباط ناامنی غذایی با دیابت بارداری: مطالعه ی مورد_ شاهدی JF - sjsph JO - sjsph VL - 13 IS - 3 UR - _URL_ Y1 - 2015 SP - 73 EP - 84 KW - Food insecurity KW - Gestational diabetes mellitus KW - Pregnant women N2 - Background and Aim: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common medical problems in pregnant women. Nutrition plays an important role in the prevention and control of this disease. Some studies have found a relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and food insecurity. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between food insecurity and GDM. Material and Methods: : This case-control study included 274 pregnant women (137 GDM cases and 137 healthy controls) selected by convenience sampling. Data on the subjects' food insecurity, demographic features and physical activity (MET) were collected by interviewing and their heights and weights measured. For the analysis of the data, the Chi-square test, independent sample t-test and multivariate and univariate logistic regression tests were used, the statistical software being SPSS 16.0. Results: On the whole, 18.2% and 21.9% of the women in the case and control groups suffered from food insecurity, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the case and control groups with regard to a previous history of pregnancy, a family history of diabetes in the first and second degree relatives, and a history of giving birth to a baby weighing over 4 kgs. Further analysis of the data showed a family history of diabetes mellitus and a low socio-economic status to be independent risk factors for GDB. Conclusion: No statistically significant difference was observed between food insecurity of the women and gestational diabetes mellitus in this study. Despite this finding, considering that there are associations between food insecurity and other types of diabetes mellitus, we recommend further studies on this subject to be able to either accept or reject the hypothesis on the association between food insecurity and gestational diabetes mellitus.

Why isn't my Heat turning on with my Sensi?
If you are finding that your heat is not running, check the physical Sensi thermostat on the wall. Ensure that the Wifi symbol is present in the top left corner, and does not show an "X". If your Sensi is not connected to Wi-Fi, Ecovent will not be able to adjust it to ensure your comfort settings are met.
Follow these steps to reconnect your Sensi to Wi-Fi
If your Sensi is connected to the Wi-Fi and the heat is not running, check that the set point is above the current room temp:
 1. If the set point is below the current temperature, Ecovent has determined that your heat should not be running as a result of your room settings. You can raise your room temps in the Ecovent app and shortly after Ecovent will adjust your Sensi thermostat.
 2. If the set point is above the current room temperature, use this guide from Sensi to determine if your HVAC is set up properly and configured for your heat source.

that the stones could represent a spiritualized human body, particularly that of a prominent figure such as a warrior or leader.[2] This theory is reinforced by the fact that the stones are all very different in construction and imagery, which could be because each stone tells a unique story for the individual it represents.
In 2006, the Deer Stone Project of the Smithsonian Institution and Mongolian Academy of Sciences began to record the stones digitally with 3-D laser scanning.

For new installations a system-based approach is used that based on the installed power density. There are two different criteria:
1. If an entire building would be equipped with a new lighting system, the criterion for the installed light output (including lamps, ballasts and control units) divided by the total floor area in W/m2 must be applied.
In our case: 72W / 19,44m² = 3,70W / m².
2. When in a specific area of a building a new lighting system would be installed, so the criterion for the normalized power density in W/m2/100 lux must be applied. This means the total consumed energy of the lighting (including lamps, ballasts and control units) must be divided by the total floor area, and by a hundredth of the illuminance of the specific area.
In our case: 3,70W/m² / (34,6lx/100) = 10,7 W/m²/lx

Montezuma quail () are found primarily in Mexico along the Sierra Madre mountains, however, their range extends briefly into the southwestern United States. States that have populations of montezuma quail are Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Populations are scattered along mountain ranges at elevations of 1000 m and above in eastern and southeastern Arizona, extending into western and southern New Mexico. Texas has a few isolated populations in the western portion of the state at similar elevations. Montezuma quail have been observed in Arizona at elevations as high as 3050 m on Escudilla Mountain, Green's Peak and Mt. Baldy. (Brown, 1989; Sibley and Monroe, 1990)
Typical habitats of montezuma quail are oak savannas or oak-pine woodlands. These vegetative communities coincide with the species elevational distribution. Although rare, small populations have been recorded in pinion-juniper woodlands, mesquite grasslands, and mixed conifer forests. (Brown, 1989; Russel and Monson, 1998; Stromberg, 2000)
Montezuma quail are plump, stocky birds resembling other new world quails. Adults are 205 to 230 mm long, slightly shorter than the other western quails. The species exhibits strong sexual dimorphism in plumage coloration, although markings are very intricate in both sexes. Males have a distinct black and white face pattern. The contour feathers on the male's ventral side are black with spots, except for a central patch of dark cinnamon feathers extending posteriorly from the breast. Females lack the black and brilliant white on their faces found in males. Females are also more brown overall. Montezuma quail can be distinguished from Gambel's quail (Callipepla gambelii) by their lack of a prominent "top-knot" as well as other color differences. Other quail that may co-occur in areas with montezuma quail are northern bobwhite (Collinus virginianus) in east Texas. These more closely resemble montezuma quail, but the species can be differentiated relatively easy upon close inspection. (Stromberg, 2000)
Nesting occurs from late June thru August, however, newly hatched young have been found as late as September in Sonora Mexico. Montezuma Quail nest on the ground in areas with adequate protection. Nests are covered structures usually woven with grass. Both males and females participate in incubation of the eggs and brooding of the young for the first few days after hatching. The average clutch size is 10 and double brooding in the wild has not been reported. Reproductive success is thought to be correlated with summer precipitation. Summer rains increase abundance and growth of food plants and increase the biomass of native perennial bunchgrasses which provide critical cover and protection for the quail. (Brown 1989, Albers and Gehlbach 1990, Stromberg 2000)
Montezuma quail young are precocial and are usually out of the nest foraging for food soon after hatching. When born, the young are fully feathered and capable of quick sprints to the nearest cover. During the first week, parents teach the young which food sources are palatable and often expose bulbs and insects to the chicks. Within 1 week, the chicks forage independently. Like many other species in the avian world, growth of the young follows a sigmoid curve. Juveniles reach adult weight between 10 and 11 weeks. After this time, the young are well developed and fully capable of flight comparable to that of adults. Juveniles will attempt to reproduce in their first year of life. (Stromberg 2000)
In captivity, montezuma quail may live up to 7 years but the lifespan of free-ranging birds is much lower due to less than optimal conditions and predation. (Stromberg, 2000)
Montezuma quail spend all of their time foraging and roosting on the ground in coveys, or small flocks. Flight is typical of other North American quail, consisting of a loud and powerful take off with rapid wing beats, quickly giving way to gliding flight. Distances flown are generally very short. Montezuma quail generally fly only as a last resort, preferring to run and "freeze". The typical behavior of montezuma quail when a predator is detected is to run to the nearest cover. The quail then remain crouched and rely on their amazingly effective cryptic coloration and motionless posture to elude the predator. Montezuma quail are renowned for their tendency to hold tight in thick cover. This trait gives the species a very low detectability in surveys. Because of this, the Arizona Game and Fish Department uses hunting dogs to assist in finding quail during surveys. This behavior of montezuma quail has also earned it the name "Fool's Quail" because many a hunter has had a humbling experience when pursuing the elusive birds.
Coveys forage strictly on the ground. After the covey leaves the roost, usually near a creek bed, the birds feed uphill staying close together. Their diet consist primarily of bulbs from wood sorrel (Oxalis spp.) and flat sedges (Cyperus spp.). Consequently, the birds are often seen digging in moist soil with their elongated claws adapted for exposing roots and tubers. Montezuma quail will also consume mast during years of productive crops. Insects and their pupa are another important food source when available. The birds generally shift their diet toward higher consumption of insects during the summer months when the prey are more abundant. Insects, however, may be eaten year round. A male harvested in November near the Buenos Aries National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona had parts from 8 large grasshoppers in its crop (P. Greer, pers. obsv.). Seeds from various grasses and forbs can also be an important food source for Montezuma Quail. Like other species of quail in the southwest, drinking water is not required to maintain internal water balance. (Albers and Gehlbach, 1990; Russel and Monson, 1998; Stromberg, 2000)
Montezuma quail are preyed upon most commonly by avian predators such as Cooper's hawks, (Accipiter cooperii) northern goshawks, (Accipiter gentilis) and northern harriers (Circus cyaneus). The elusive quail are more of a challenge for terrestrial predators but are occasionally killed by coyotes (Canis latrans). When nests are found, the eggs would likely be consumed by an array of carnivorous animals such as skunks (Mephitis) and various snakes. Montezuma quail are also considered a gamebird and hunted in Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico. (Stromberg, 2000)
Montezuma quail are highly dependant on the dense understory grass cover of native annual and perennial plants characteristic of a healthy evergreen oak woodland community. Thus, the status of montezuma quail populations may reflect the health of the ecosystem.
Montezuma quail are considered game birds and hunted in Arizona, New Mexico, and to some degree in Mexico. The popularity of montezuma quail has steadily increased over the past two decades. Hunters in pursuit of these unique galliforms travel across the country each fall to search for montezuma quail in Arizona and New Mexico. The tendency of the birds to hold tight before flushing is also a desirable trait in a game bird which allows the use of various pointing breeds of bird dogs. This popularity among hunters brings substantial income to local guiding services and communities in montezuma quail country each hunting season.
Conservation efforts directed at improving montezuma quail habitat may indirectly affect livestock grazing permittees in these areas. (See Conservation Section)
Montezuma Quail are directly dependent upon a thick ground cover of native perennial bunchgrasses for nesting habitat and escape cover. Consequently, the species is vulnerable to habitat alteration from overgrazing by livestock, change in weather patterns, and the spread of non-native plant species. Brown (1982) showed quail numbers declined in allotments where heavy grazing occurred although these areas did experience an increase in abundance of forage species. The negative effects of cover removal, however, outweighed the increase in forage. Stromberg (2000) stated that habitats subjected to reduction of greater than 50% of the annual grass production could not support viable populations of Montezuma Quail. Consequently, management objectives should be directed at maintaining the natural biomass of ground cover in these habitats. The most effective means of accomplishing this would be reducing livestock grazing permits. This alternative would likely be met with opposition from the ranching community. (See Economic Importance for Humans Section) (Brown 1982, Albers and Gehlbach 1990, Stromberg 2000)
Other common names of montezuma quail are: Mearn's quail, fool's quail, and harlequin quail.

01 Nov Possible horizontal Ecodesign measure for internal combustion engines
EGMF Position paper on possible horizontal Ecodesign measure for internal combustion engines
EGMF together with the engine manufacturers industry (Euromot), the construction machinery industry (CECE), the agricultural machinery industry (CEMA) and the material handling industry (FEM) opposed a potential future horizontal energy efficiency requirement on internal combustion engines. Indeed, such a measure is unfeasible considering the variety of types and power ranges of combustion engines installed in non-road mobile machinery. In addition, the pressure imposed by other upcoming regulatory requirements on engines renders such a measure inappropriate. Finally, the importance of energy efficiency in manufacturers' R&D makes such a measure unnecessary.

According to Knibb Sibley, Martha Brae river has given its name to the town near its mouth and to the watershed which it drains. It has its source at Windsor and flows into
the sea at Rock after passing the village of the same name. The
name appears to be a corruption of the Spanish Rio Para Matar
Tiberon shown on a Spanish map dated 1680. It was a main artery
in Trelawny and links many of the sugar plantations (see Tour of
the Martha Brae -in prep-)
The Spanish connection actually originates in the early days of Spanish Occupation, when, according to Phillippo it was known as Melilla/Manilla, one of the first three towns in Jamaica. This may be incorrect, as Annotto Bay may have been the Melilla in question.
The present Martha Brae town was created by Henry Cunliffe in 1762
out of the eastern portion of his sugar estate, Holland. He named the town Lyttelton,
after the then-Governor of Jamaica, William Lyttelton, but this
name was gradually lost and the town reverted to the older name of
the nearby river.
Martha Brae watershed is one of Forestry Department's administrative unit and is shown in the above image.

The Effect of Annealing Parameter on Corrosion Resistance of Zircaloy-2
The effects of equal ∑Ai for different combinations of the annealing temperature and annealing time on corrosion resistance and evolution of precipitates of Zircaloy-2 were investigated.Nodular corrosion resistance in the out-of-pile corrosion test was degraded with increasing ∑Ai only when it was increased by extending the annealing time at 894K but did not depend on ∑Ai which was increased by raising the annealing temperature for a constant annealing time of 2.5h. Extensive observation and micro-analysis of precipitates by analytical electron microscope (AEM) suggested the cause of degradation of nodular corrosion resistance to be the remarkable increase in volume fraction of Si-containing precipitates such as Zr3Si and Zr2Si, which were observed more frequently in large ∑Ai only when it was increased by extending the annealing time at 894K.On the other hand, uniform corrosion resistance was improved with increasing ∑Ai irrespective of the annealing conditions, but was slightly better when ∑Ai was increased by extending the annealing time under constant annealing temperature at 894K. This behavior can be understood from the reduction in content of alloying elements such as Fe, Cr and Ni which remained as solutes in the matrix at large ∑Ai.

Ordnance Survey Data Importer Coordinate Conversion Accuracy
Update 13 March 2013: Please see latest blog post (fix) on this here.
Thanks to a comment on my original post around my project that imports Ordnance Survey CodePoint data into SQL Server, I was made aware of a potential issue with the (awesome) third party GeoCoordConversion DLL I use to convert the Eastings/Northings coordinates supplied in the Ordnance Survey data files, into Latitude/Longitude coordinates. The issue relates to an inaccuracy in the conversion process, specifically to do with integer divisions instead of double.
So, this blog post is to document my analysis of that and try to quantify what, if any, impact there is on the accuracy of the conversion of Eastings/Northings to Latitude/Longitude. So what I've done is:
 1. Import the Ordnance Survey data set using the released version ( of the GeoCoordConversion library (i.e. the version my project uses)
 2. Downloaded the source code for GeoCoordConversion and corrected the parts of the calculations where the raised issue noted an inaccuracy
 3. Reran the data import into a separate table using the "corrected" conversion code
 4. Ran the following query to try and quantify how much of a difference it actually makes:
 SELECT orig.OutwardCode, orig.InwardCode,
 orig.GeoLocation.STDistance(new.GeoLocation) Dist
 FROM PostCodeData orig
 JOIN PostCodeDataWithFix new ON orig.InwardCode = new.InwardCode
 AND orig.OutwardCode = new.OutwardCode
SELECT MIN(Dist) AS MinDifferenceInMetres,
 MAX(Dist) AS MaxDifferenceInMetres,
 AVG(Dist) AS AverageDifferenceInMetres,
 SUM(CASE WHEN Dist = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) AS NumberOfDifferences
The MAXIMUM distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 124.9 metres.
The MINIMUM distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 0 metres.
The AVERAGE distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 2.5 metres.
The TOTAL NUMBER of differences was 1,652,458 (out of 1,705,177 conversions).
This map shows the case that had the biggest difference (postcode: NR34 8JW). Plotted points are as follows:
(A) = position from conversion process before fix
(B) = position from conversion process with fix
(C) = position Google Maps gives for location
Note (B) and (C) are in the same spot, so that's why you can't see both!
View Larger Map
For me, and what I see as potential uses for this data, I personally don't see this as much of an issue especially with an average difference of 2.5 metres. I will add a comment on to the GeoCoordConversion project issue page, referencing this post. Though there doesn't look to be any activity on the project, so whether a fix can be applied is yet to be seen. That's my preferred route at present, to see if the author of that project is around to apply a fix as I currently don't have full knowledge of what I changes I can make to the source code and what would be acceptable in order to distribute the amended source code as part of my project (my project is released under a different, but compatible license...but things might get murkier when it comes to amending/distributing those amendments). In a nutshell, I just don't have time to try to make head and tail of what I can legitimately do (and I don't want to change the license for my project)!
All feedback welcomed
 1. Hi,
 Many thanks for this, it is exactly what I needed. Just a question would it be possible for you to share the updated dll?
 Many thanks
 1. _USER_ - I'll see what I can do. Need to check the license applied to that project / may contact that project owner.
 2. If you can't get anywhere with that project, you might want to take a look at my.NET coords library,
 I've used it for my own projects a lot and several other people are using it without too many issues
 3. _USER_ - awesome, thanks. I will give it a try soon!
 4. Wicked, really wicked cheers!

How to Avoid Bruising After Facelift?
I am considering a facelift, however I'm concerned about hematomas. Can you tell me the causes of these after facelifts? Are there things that I can do to prevent one from happening? Do they have anything to do with the expertise of the surgeon?
Doctor Answers 42
Tips to Minimize bruising
The reality is that a well done Facelift requires a relatively large area of soft tissue mobilization. The degree of tissue mobilization often equates to the degree of bruising a patient experiences. In my anecdotal experience, a longer procedure generally correlates with more bruising. Therefore, if you are having multiple procedures done (Facelift, brow lift, eyelid surgery), the extent of bruising is likely to be greater. However, If you are in the hands of an experienced Facelift surgeon, there isn't too much correlation with the degree of bruising and who is doing it.
Facts on hematomas after Facelift: 1) A hematoma is a clinically significant bruise because it represents a clot of blood underneath the skin that can threaten the viability of the skin. 2) Hematomas require drainage in order to preserve skin viability and prevent adverse scarring. 3) Hematomas can and do happen in virtually every surgeons hands. 4) Previous posts have outlined scenarios where a hematoma is more likely to happen. However, the occurrence of this problem can be unpredictable.
Things a patient can do to minimize bruising and/or hematoma: 1) Avoid aspirin and other medications in the non steroidal anti-inflammatory class for 2 weeks prior to surgery. 2) Avoid vitamin E containing products, fish oil, St. John's Wort, Ginkgo, and other exotic and /or other homeopathic treatments for a similar period. In my practice, a list of medications to avoid is provided. 3) If you have high blood pressure and it is not controlled, you need to have this issue dealt with prior to surgery. 4) If you have a history of frequent nose bleeds, easy bruising, heavy periods, this needs to be disclosed preoperatively. 5) Activity restrictions after Facelift are real. If you are too active, the chances of forming a hematoma increase exponentially. Follow your surgeon's activity restrictions.
Things a Surgeon can do to prevent hematoma: 1) Compressive dressing. In my practice, a dressing is placed immediately after surgery, then replaced on the 1st postoperative day. After this period, an elastic strap is worn. This is my preference and works well with my patient population. 2) Some Surgeons place drains in the patient and achieve good results. Drain placement is likely to vary between Surgeons' training, experience, and preference. 3) Postoperative Arnica Montana. This is a homeopathic medication which helps minimize bruising. 4) Use of postoperative anti nausea agents and use of narcotic pain medication only when absolutely necessary. Narcotic medications tend to induce nausea and emesis. Pstoperative vomiting increase blood supply to the face and therefore increase risk of hematoma.
Good luck with your surgery!

Bruising and Hematoma after Face Lift Surgery
Bruising is very common and not considered a complication with this plastic surgery. A hematoma is a collection of blood under the skin which should normally be drained is a complication. Hematoma is the most common complication with face lift surgery, with an overall estimated incidence of less than 5%. Most hematomas occur within 24hours after the face lift surgery, but may occur several days afterward too.
The most significant risk factors for bleeding with face and neck lift surgery are the following:
 - platsymaplasty or neck surgery
 - hypertension
 - male
 - blood thinners, including herbal medication, ibuprofen, aspirin, and similar medications
 - smoking
While experience plays a role, it is not as important risk factor as those outlined above. The best face lift surgeons in the world still get hematomas.
By following the strict presurgical and postsurgical care instructions of your plastic surgeon, you will reduce the chance you will develop a hematoma after your cosmetic surgery. Best of luck.

Reducing Bruising and Avoiding Hematoma After a Facelift
During a normal recovery from a facelift some bruising is expected. It usually occurs low in the neck and resolves over 7 - 10 days. Bruising can be reduced by the following measures:
1. Stop all blood thinning medications, supplements and herbal products prior to surgery. Your plastic surgeon should supply a list but the most common include aspirin, NSAID's like Advil, Motrin or Aleve, Ginkgo, Garlic, Ginseng and many more
2. Use Arnica Montana before and a few days after surgery. In my experience this herbal product does reduce bruising.
3. Closely follow your pre-op and post-op instructions concerning reduced activity levels, avoiding lifting and straining, keeping your head elevated at night as well as using ice packs on schedule.
Hematoma formation or development of a blood collection under the skin is unusual and happens in less than 5% of facelift patients. They usually occur in patients with the following predispositions:
1. Men because they have more vascular facial skin due to the beard hair and they have a tendency to become too active too soon.
2. Poorly controlled high blood pressure. Elevate blood pressure just after surgery can causes previously sealed blood vessels to open and bleed
3. Blood Thinning Medications, especially aspirin, which inhibits the normal platelet function needed for clotting following surgery. Aspirin should be stopped a full 2 weeks before surgery
4. Smoking. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the skin edges and raises the blood pressure. This is all bad for facelift recovery
While the men out there can't change this risk factor, the other 3 can be controlled. Making sure your high blood pressure is well controlled before surgery, stopping smoking 3 weeks prior to surgery and avoiding blood-thinning medications will reduce your risk greatly. Always take your normal blood pressure medicine the morning of surgery (check with your doctor if it is a diuretic).
As for men, they should be especially cautious to avoiding lifting, straining and vigorous physical activity for a full 3 weeks following facelift surgery.
Bruising after Facelift Surgery
You will always have some bruising after a facelift. A hematoma, which is a localized collection of blood, is not a life-threatening complication but can compromise skin circulation and significantly delay post-operative healing. All experienced facelift surgeons have a list of pre-operative instructions regarding dietary and medicinal intake. A pre-operative medical evaluation is usually required. There are also post-operative instructions re activity, diet, and medicines. With due diligence, hematomas are very rare.

Facelift Hematoma
This is a multifactoral issue and there are things that I do in the operating room to decrease the rate of hematoma and there are things we as of you to try to decrease the chance of it happening. Hematoma is rare but the rate is no 0%.
So blood pressure control before, during and after surgery is a must as is pain control. Those two things are what commonly lead to hematomas after surgery. Stopping any medications that can increase your bleeding 2 weeks before surgery will also decrease the rate as well. Things like aspirin, motrin, aleve and others.
Good luck.

Bruising after a facelift can be minimal.
Bruising after a facelift can be minimal, but it depends on the approach. Bruising and even hematomas are more likely with more invasive facelift techniques such as a SMAS lift or a deep plane facelift. These are much less likely with a MACS lift, since there is less undermining of the skin where most vessels are. I have many patients with very little or no bruising after a MACS lift, and have not seen a hematoma in over 200 patients. However, hematomas are not very common after any facelift, since all surgeons try to minimize this risk during surgery. Factors that increase your risk of this include, high blood pressure and blood thinning medications and some dietary supplements. You should always talk to your surgeon prior to surgery about what you can do to minimize any risks associated with your surgery.

How to avoid bruising and hematoma after facelift?
Like all complications, bruising and hematomas cannot be avoided entirely but they CAN be reduced to a very low rate.
The cause of hematoma can be divided to factors which are either related to you, those related to the surgeon and those related how you do in the first 3 days or so after surgery.
if you have a family history of easy bruising and bleeding you must tell your surgeon and you should be tested to se if you have

Was there a school in Wilmington named for Zebulon B. Vance?
Gail Calloway
Q. Was there ever a school in Wilmington by the name of Zebulon B. Vance? Time period would have been in the 1940s.
Zebulon B. Vance was born in 1830 in Weaverville, in Buncombe County near Asheville. He was governor of the Confederate State of North Carolina during the Civil War, an N.C. Congressman, state legislator, and Confederate colonel. He was an influential leader of the Civil War Reconstruction in North Carolina and is considered by some to be the most popular political leader the state has ever produced.
Being the astute and beloved person that he was, there are many monuments, towns, buildings and schools named after him all across the state. The schools found named after him are Zebulon B. Vance High School in Charlotte, and Zebulon B.Vance Elementary in Kittrel. None were found in the Cape Fear area.
If any readers remember a school in Southeastern North Carolina named for Vance, let us know in the Comments section below.

Historic Boston Church Considers Sale of Hymnal
The first book printed in what would become the United States was a Puritan hymnal of psalms, sturdy enough that 11 copies that came off a wooden Cambridge press in 1640 still exist. Now, a copy of the "Bay Psalm Book" may bring millions of dollars to the Boston church that owns it.

Cougars are an animal found in Red Dead Redemption. Also known as the Mountain Lion, Red Lion, Puma, Catamount, or Mountain Screamer, they prowl the prairies, forests, and mountains and are often heard before they are seen. Cougars are known to prey on travelers and their horses throughout the game world. Cougars may be hunted, skinned, and traded with merchants for cash.
In Undead Nightmare, Undead Cougars roam New Austin and West Elizabeth, and are deadly predators.
To gain Master Hunter Rank 5 and a scrap of the Expert Hunter Outfit, the player must kill cougars with a knife and dynamite respectively.
Cougars are one of the most vicious predators in the game, though sometimes difficult to find. They kill horses and players with as little as two attacks. Cougars use the 'hit and run' technique to knock down the player then quickly ready their next attack a safe distance away. They often travel in pairs, attacking one at a time, unless chasing an NPC. It is easier to tempt a cougar out of hiding while riding on horseback than to actively hunt one.
Cougars are difficult to spot due to their low stance and tan color that acts as camouflage, and the fact that they are silent when running or stalking. Cougars are nocturnal. However, they can be found in small numbers during the daytime and are quite active at dawn.
The Cougars are usually found around Rio Bravo, where they can stalk their prey while staying camouflaged in the trees, but they are generally found in most areas of New Austin and West Elizabeth.
 - Wreck of the Serendipity - They can be found within the "U" shape the road makes. Between 5 AM and 6 AM is the most frequent time to spot one.
 - Rio Bravo - Around Fort Mercer and Plainview. Around Repentance Rock, they are virtually the only animal that spawns at night. In the land north of Fort Mercer, cougars can be found frequently during the day, and players may be attacked by up to five in one sitting.
 - MacFarlane's Ranch - In the hills north of the ranch.
 - Stillwater Creek - Several can be found at all times of day sometimes prowling around the water.
 - Cougars, along with wolves, coyotes, and bobcats, are often found in the random encounters where an NPC is being chased by a gang of predatory animals.
 - (Multiplayer Only) Tanner's Reach - A large family of Cougars and sometimes Khan the Jaguar lives within the perimeter of the hunting cabin. There are at least eight of them and they attack at once, so approach the area with caution.
 - Plainview - Cougars frequent the road near here which is heading into the US/Mexican border late at night and during the day.
 - Silent Stead - Occasionally a good spawning point for cougars in single player. The player can get onto the roof by going around the back and jumping onto the overhang. Facing the road, the cougars spawn by some boulders to the player's right. They come in pairs about thirty seconds apart. They are easier to find by placing bait.
 - Rattlesnake Hollow - Continually produces cougars during the day in single player. Go there with caution.
 - Beecher's Hope - usually in the late afternoon. They will normally be chasing prey (foxes, rabbits, etc.) in packs of two.
 - The Great Plains - In the northern areas, between the railroad tracks and the river. The most reliable spawning spot is where the trees are thinning out, where Tall Trees meets the Great Plains. They can also be found in the Great Plains where the fox symbol is located on the map.
Tips and Tricks
 - The most important thing to remember is that if the player has taken any damage whatsoever before a cougar attacks, its attack means instant death. Only a full health bar is any defense against one.
 - Cougars usually attack from behind, charging in a straight line from an unseen spot in the bushes.
 - They will often snarl audibly just before they run over to attack. Their charge is silent, and they are fast.
 - Cougars usually spawn in pairs, and cougars in some locations respawn as fast as wolves.
 - Cougars will chase, stalk, and attack NPC humans, wild horses, and other herbivores, but will totally ignore other dangerous animals and be ignored by them. This can lead to the very dangerous situation of being attacked by wolves and a cougar at the same time.
 - A very easy way to kill cougars is to get in a stagecoach or on top of a nearby roof or large rock, because they can't hit the player and they will walk around in circles, making it very easy to kill them.
 - When attacked, the player will be knocked down and defenseless for a few seconds. Cougars often use hit and run attacks: attacking the player or horse and then running off, turning around when out of sight, and attacking again. If they cannot back off sufficiently by turning around, for example if there is a wall behind them, they will attempt to back off forward, encounter the player again, and instantly attack a second time, killing the player, who has no chance of defending. This appears to be an unintended pathfinding bug rather than a feature.
 - Trying to block an attack from a Cougar with a knife is useless. The cat will knock the player down. Even worse, the knife animation may prevent Marston being knocked down; if this happens, the Cougar will attack again instantly and kill him.
 - Occasionally, shooting or knifing a cougar will cause it to turn and run; this is especially true if it is critically damaged. Lasso the cat to keep it from escaping. Chasing after it is generally a bad idea since the player will often find themselves so distracted by the first cougar they do not notice a second.
 - Riding on horseback while being attacked by cougars is a good strategy, although the cougar only needs to scratch the horse once and it dies. This can provide the player with a shield, but expendable horses should be ridden if the player is hunting cougars this way.
 - Players should remember that rolling can be extremely useful when in combat with Cougars. If the player does not kill a Cougar while it is sprinting towards them, they can perform a roll by remaining in aim mode and pressing X (Xbox 360) or the square button (PS3) while pushing the movement stick to perform the roll in that direction. After you have evaded the Cougar, it will usually run back into the foliage and attempt to stalk the player again, so don't lose sight of it or assume it has gone.
 - When traveling, a Random Encounter involving a NPC asking for help trapping animals may happen. This can provide an opportunity in finding cougars.
 - Use of Medicine is highly recommended; if attacked by a Cougar, as soon as you get up, open your Satchel and heal yourself. Due to Cougars' hit and run technique, this can save the player.
 - In Multiplayer, a Cougar will only take one hit to kill you, as opposed to the normal two hits in Singleplayer.
 - The 5th Master Hunter Challenge requires that two Cougars be killed and skinned with a Hunting Knife.
For more information on how to achieve this, see the relevent entry in the Master Hunter Challenges page.
 - The Expert Hunter outfit requires you to kill a Cougar using dynamite.
For more information on how to achieve this, see the Expert Hunter Outfit page.
Spawning Glitch
Sometimes in cougar locations throughout single player, players can experience large amounts of cougars attacking very frequently. These glitches can continue indefinitely until the player leaves the area. This differs from the usual one or two cougars at one location at a time.
This glitch was also reported in Free Roam, where the player in question was in a firefight in the Great Plains. The player was consecutively attacked by cougars for 10 to 15 minutes. The only way to stop the glitch is for all the players in the Great Plains to evacuate the area for around 15 minutes.
In another glitch, Cougars can become very popular in certain parts of the Cholla Springs area, sometimes appearing in random towns such as Armadillo, which can become annoying because cougars can easily kill you when they take you by surprise. However, this glitch is extremely rare.
 - The Undead Cougar is the Cougar equivalent encountered in the Undead Nightmare DLC pack.
 - Cougars and bobcats share the same sound file.
 - Several residents of MacFarlane's Ranch talk about a Giant Cougar, claiming it killed three lawmen and that it stole and ate a baby.
 - Despite their relatively small size, cougars have been seen attacking bears, but this is quite rare.

This study evaluates the price setting behavior across main cities of Pakistan by employing the micro data from retail price survey. The most contemporary research technique of Duration Analysis is employed where survivor functions are estimated by most illustrious nonparametric Kaplan-Meier and Nelson-Aalen Estimators. Hazard Functions for various product groups are also estimated by employing parametric Weibull Hazard Model. Results confirm that perishable food items have shortest duration of one week for most of the spells, where government regulation caused prices to change more frequently. It is found that on average small cities faced lower hazard and thus comparably lesser price change, whereas, months of March, April and October witnessed relatively high hazard rates. The study classifies nine commodity groups into two categories. First is high frequency group and second is increasing hazard group. These classifications are believed to assist policy makers in assessing inflation dynamics in Pakistan. The study significantly contributes to the existing literature, firstly, by applying more scrupulous nonparametric and parametric techniques of Survival analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this technique is not yet applied in Pakistan for examining the price behavior. Secondly, as the price setting mechanism in Pakistan is not studied before by employing the high frequency micro price data, therefore, panel data estimation contribute significantly to the existing literature.

Google Glass in the Doctor's Office?
Aug 15, 2013
You've probably heard of Google Glass - the computer you wear like eyeglasses. The computer display is right in front of your eyes, and is navigated by voice commands. Now Hartford Hospital has been given a pair of the futuristic glasses by Google to explore the possibilities of using Google Glass in life saving situations by medical personnel.
The application for some of the first pairs of glasses asked respondents to finish the sentence, "If I had Glass..." Hartford Hospital responded with, "I would save lives," according to Dr. Thomas Nowicki who is an emergency room physician, and director of Hartford Hospital's Center for Education, Simulation and Innovation. Uses for Google Glass include passing along critical information quickly, such as lab results. It could also be used during CPR to analyze rate and depth of compressions to provide instant feedback and provide the most effective care. Despite a slight learning curve, Dr. Nowicki says the doctors who have worked with Google Glass adjust quickly.


Sugaring Waxing
Does Sugaring waxing gets rid of all unwanted body hair?
Realy and truly you can apply sugaring waxing to all your body from your brows to your toes and everything in between.
The next hair removal trend is without a doubt Sugaring waxing, this treatment will captivate you because of its natural properties.
If you have not heard of sugaring waxing before, the method consists in applying a mixture of sugar, lemon juice and water to the skin and then stripping it off together with the hair.
The ancient Egyptians believed that a hairless body was a characteristic of status, success and power. They used the sugaring technique as the formula components were easy to obtain and the powerful method was proved to be very effective.
Does Sugaring waxing hurts less than normal waxing?
The sugaring waxing technique applied by our beauticians extracts the hair in the same direction of hair growth.
In other words, this technique implies less trauma on the skin and to the root of the hair, much less risk of breaking the hair instead of pulling it off and consequently reducing the prospect of ingrown hairs.
Sugaring waxing is clean and beneficial to your skin!
The sugaring wax is incredibly healthful, it's hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic meaning that it does not obstruct your skin pores!
The formula used by Beauty Dream beauticians creates a paste that has a very high concentration of sugar, creating an environment where bacteria cannot breed in the jar!
Beauty Dream sugaring paste formula gets rid of all undesired body hair and at the same time peels your skin smoothly.
Peeling means removing dead skin cells. Our sugar paste formula, differently than wax, will not stick to your live/active skin cells, because active skin cells are wet. Consequently improving the health of your skin.
Can Sugaring waxing lead to hair reduction?
Can Sugaring waxing lead to hair reduction?
Again, really and truly it depends on a series of factors, your skin, hormones, etc. Our experience has shown that after certain sugaring waxing treatments, the hair follicle begins to get weaker and more fragile. The hair starts to have a more shallow root and the growth becomes easier to be removed and much less pain are involved in each treatment. As sugaring wax can remove the smallest bits of hair in the skin layer called the anagen, it can lead to permanency with the time.
Book the sugaring waxing
The Sugaring wax provides softer skin and longer-lasting results by removing the hair deep from the root.
How can we compare Sugaring Wax to other waxing products and techniques?
Bikini Sugaring wax VS. normal Waxing
Sugaring promotes better skin health, lasts longer, it also can be less uncomfortable if done periodically.
Sugaring waxing doesn't cause ingrown hairs, the other way around, it can actually correct them!
In addition, sugaring wax is a natural exfoliating treatment for the skin and can lead to a constant reduction of hair growth.
Sugaring waxing VS. Shaving
In another hand shaving cuts the hair right at the skin's surface, producing a sharp end to the hair, that can be felt a few days after shaving.
Again sugaring wax is also better because it produces a natural peeling, eliminating dead skin cells. That peeling process through the sugaring technique means that you will get a smoothest and healthiest skin and the most delicious experience.
Sugaring waxing VS. Laser hair removal
The laser hair removal is much more expensive and it might not provide the expected results. The laser hair removal may or may not produce everlasting hair elimination if that is your intention in the first place.
The outcomes differ due to the person varying skin conditions and hair types.
While sugaring provides smooth results for three to four weeks and is very cost-effective.

John and Eliza WebbFlorida homesteaders
In 1867, John and Eliza Webb left their home in Utica, N.Y., to build a life in the warm climate of Florida. It was thought that the weather would benefit Eliza Webb's asthma. The Webbs set sail in February with their five children, Eliza Webb's sister, and her father. They eventually settled near present-day Sarasota, called Spanish Point. A Cuban fisherman whom they had met in Key West had described the area to them. There they established and ran a sugar mill and refinery. Later, as the area became more popular with tourists, they built Webb's Winter Resort, made up of guest cottages.

What Causes Industry Agglomeration? Evidence from Coagglomeration Patterns
Why do firms cluster near one another? We test Marshall's theories of industrial agglomeration by examining which industries locate near one another, or coagglomerate. We construct pairwise coagglomeration indices for US manufacturing industries from the Economic Census. We then relate coagglomeration levels to the degree to which industry pairs share goods, labor, or ideas. To reduce reverse causality, where collocation drives input-output linkages or hiring patterns, we use data from UK industries and from US areas where the two industries are not collocated. All three of Marshall's theories of agglomeration are supported, with input-output linkages particularly important.

PennController.GetTable( tablename ).filter( "column", "match" )
PennController.GetTable( tablename ).filter( "column", /match/ )
PennController.GetTable( tablename ).filter( function )
Returns a filtered version of the table, containing only rows whose specified column's value is a match.
If you use a string then the column's value must match the text exactly. Alternatively, you can use a regular expression to test the column's value. You can also use a function that will take each row as an argument and should return
true to keep the row or
false to exclude it.
You can use several
filters in chain.
Template( GetTable( "spreadsheet.csv" ).filter( row => row.Item > 0 ) // 'Item' should be greater than 0, and.filter( "ButtonText", /second/ ) // 'ButtonText' should contain'second', row => newTrial( "button trial", newButton("test button", row.ButtonText).print().wait() ).log( "Item", row.Item ).log( "Text", row.ButtonText ) );
Generates only one trial from a subset of the table spreadsheet.csv: first we only consider rows where the value in the Item column is a number greater than 0 (this is practically ineffective, for both rows in spreadsheet.csv already satisfy this condition) and we further consider only rows among those rows where the value of the ButtonText column is a text containing the string second (only the second row satisfies this condition).


Saving a Path
Save Path commandAs we have already mentioned, the "Work Path" means "temporary" path. For example, when you create a new path from a selection or from text, it replaces the previous Work Path*.
*Paths created from shape layers and vector masks are saved automatically.
To secure the created Work Path:
 1. Open the "Paths" dialog.
 2. Make sure that the "Work Path" is selected in the Paths list.
 3. Apply the "Save Path" Save Path command command.
 4. In the dialog box that appears, enter desired path name and click "OK".
Please note that you can't overwrite existing paths. For example, the program won't save a path as "Path 1", in case a path with that name already exists.
In conclusion, let's touch saving the files containing paths. Unlike vector shapes, paths may be saved to various file types. For example, you can incorporate your vector drawings into a JPEG file and publish it on the Web.

A Guide to Blanking in Contract Manufacturing
Many startups and small product manufacturing businesses do not have the capital needed to construct and operate a production facility. In these situations, they often turn to contract manufacturers to make their products so they do not need to invest in their own factory. Below, we provide an overview of contract manufacturing, discussing what it is, what types are available, what to look for in a good partner, and what role blanking can play in the process.
What Is Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing is a business relationship in which one company (the contracting company) outsources some or all of its manufacturing operations to another company (the contracted company). The contracted company produces parts and products to the specifications given to it by the contracting company.
There are many advantages to forming a partnership with a contract manufacturer. For example, the contracting company does not need to worry about making their products, so they can focus their resources and efforts on other parts of the business, such as sales and marketing. Additionally, contract manufacturers may offer other services that can further streamline the product development process for the customer, such as design assistance, assembly, and distribution.
What Are the Different Forms of Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing can be classified into several categories depending on what the contracted company provides to the contracting company. Four of the most common are:
 - Producing complete goods. This type of manufacturing relationship is also referred to as private label manufacturing. In this situation, the contracted company produces complete products for the contracting company. In addition to making all of the parts and components that go into the product, they assemble them together.
 - Producing parts or components. In this situation, the contracted company produces parts or components for the contracting company. The contracting company then uses these pieces in their own assembly operations to create finished products.
 - Supplying a service or labor. In this situation, the contracted company provides services to the contracting company, such as design, manufacturing, and distribution. The contracting company uses these services as part of their product development process. The contracted company may also supply a labor force if the contracting company does not have the manpower to carry out production.
 - Providing manufacturing equipment or facilities. In this situation, the contracted company allows the contracting company to use their equipment or facility to make the desired products.
7 Qualities to Look for in a Contract Manufacturer
Given the key role a contract manufacturer has in the production of a product, companies must choose who they partner with carefully. Otherwise, they risk subpar products, unmet production orders, and more.
The seven top qualities to look for in a good contract manufacturing partner are:
 1. ISO Certification
 2. Good Reputation in Market
 3. Good Financial Situation
 4. Clean Facility
 5. Good Management at the Facility
 6. Flexible to Market
 7. Can Meet Product Demand
How Does Precision Blanking Fit in With Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing can encompass a wide range of manufacturing processes, including precision blanking. Precision blanking is a fabrication process that uses a punch and die to remove a piece—i.e., a blank—from a sheet or strip of material. Both the punch and die are in the shape of the desired component, ensuring the piece removed has the proper form.
