Since the show ran for a week, hardware stores began using this as a promotion week to push sales, and Stanley also produced an annual event ad that ran in the trade magazines during National Hardware week. OH20, a non-adjustable block plane, was 6 1/2\" in length and 2\" wide with a 1 5/8\" wide plane iron (Figure 1). In Stanley News (Volume 23, Number 2, March 1953), Stanley repeated the prior year's special for National Hardware Week, held on April 17-25, 1953 (Figure 17). The Victor line of these planes remained the same, except the 1120 block plane now had a cadmium-plated lever cap with red japanning below the cross-bar groove (Figure 18).

El problema identificado en las pymes ferreteras dedicadas a la comercialización y distribución de diversos productos es la deficiente gestión de almacenes, debido a que utilizan altos tiempos para la realización de los procesos de recepción de productos, almacenaje y picking. Además, tienen desconocimiento de la exactitud de inventario, el cual ocasiona las roturas de stock y no permite en muchos de los casos la entrega completa de los pedidos. Todo ello ocasiona que el nivel de servicio de la empresa esté por debajo del estándar. La propuesta diseñada consiste en la aplicación de las herramientas 5S, ABC, system layout planning y estandarización del trabajo para mejorar la gestión de almacenes. Entre los principales resultados de la implementación de la propuesta, se incrementó el nivel de servicio a un 95%, se redujo el tiempo del proceso de picking en un 55%, el de almacenaje en un 57% y el de recepción de productos en un 63%.

Troubleshooting is a universal activity. Engineers do it, but so do scientists, car mechanics, and everyone else. A chef in a top restaurant may be puzzling at this very moment as to why a souffle has fallen. You might have to figure out why your garbage disposal is jammed, or why your kid's favorite electronic toy stopped working. Those who are good at it have a strong bent toward curiosity: wondering how things work, and puzzling at what has gone wrong when things don't work. Add to that persistence (and at times, patience) and you have the right person for the job. There is an art and a science to getting to the root cause of a problem. That point is half the work, and sometimes more than half. The other half--which is at times left to others--is figuring out how to fix it.

We study compatibility decisions of two competing platform owners that generate profits through both hardware sales and royalties from content sales. We consider a game-theoretic model in which two platforms offer different standalone utilities to users. We find that incentives to establish one-way compatibility—the platform owner with smaller standalone value grants access to its proprietary content application to users of the competing platform—can arise from the difference in their profit foci. As the difference in the standalone utilities increases, royalties from content sales become less important to the platform owner with greater standalone value, but more important to the other platform owner. One-way compatibility can thus increase asymmetry between the platform owners’ profit foci and, given a sufficiently large difference in the standalone utilities, yields greater profits for both platform owners. We further show that social welfare is greater under one-way compatibility than under incompatibility. We also investigate how factors such as exclusive content and hardware-only adopters affect compatibility incentives. This paper was accepted by Chris Forman, information systems.

Background Proximity to walkable destinations or amenities is thought to influence physical activity behaviour. Previous efforts attempting to calculate neighbourhood walkability have relied on self-report or time-intensive and costly measures. Walk Score is a novel and publicly available website that estimates neighbourhood walkability based on proximity to 13 amenity categories (eg, grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, movie theatres, schools, parks, libraries, book stores, fitness centres, drug stores, hardware stores, clothing/music stores). Objective The purpose of this study is to test the validity and reliability of Walk Score for estimating access to objectively measured walkable amenities. Methods Walk Scores of 379 residential/non-residential addresses in Rhode Island were manually calculated. Geographic information systems (GIS) was used to objectively measure 4194 walkable amenities in the 13 Walk Score categories. GIS data were aggregated from publicly available data sources. Sums of amenities within each category were matched to address data, and Pearson correlations were calculated between the category sums and address Walk Scores. Results Significant correlations were identified between Walk Score and all categories of aggregated walkable destinations within a 1-mile buffer of the 379 residential and non-residential addresses. Test–retest reliability correlation coefficients for a subsample of 100 addresses were 1.0. Conclusion These results support Walk Score as a reliable and valid measure of estimating access to walkable amenities. Walk Score may be a convenient and inexpensive option for researchers interested in exploring the relationship between access to walkable amenities and health behaviours such as physical activity.

In 2015, we conducted a cross-sectional, Internet-based, U.S. nationally representative probability survey of 2,021 adults (975 men, 1,046 women) focused on a broad range of sexual behaviors. Individuals invited to participate were from the GfK KnowledgePanel®. The survey was titled the 2015 Sexual Exploration in America Study and survey completion took about 12 to 15 minutes. The survey was confidential and the researchers never had access to respondents' identifiers. Respondents reported on demographic items, lifetime and recent sexual behaviors, and the appeal of 50+ sexual behaviors. Most (>80%) reported lifetime masturbation, vaginal sex, and oral sex. Lifetime anal sex was reported by 43% of men (insertive) and 37% of women (receptive). Common lifetime sexual behaviors included wearing sexy lingerie/underwear (75% women, 26% men), sending/receiving digital nude/semi-nude photos (54% women, 65% men), reading erotic stories (57% of participants), public sex (≥43%), role-playing (≥22%), tying/being tied up (≥20%), spanking (≥30%), and watching sexually explicit videos/DVDs (60% women, 82% men). Having engaged in threesomes (10% women, 18% men) and playful whipping (≥13%) were less common. Lifetime group sex, sex parties, taking a sexuality class/workshop, and going to BDSM parties were uncommon (each <8%). More Americans identified behaviors as \"appealing\" than had engaged in them. Romantic/affectionate behaviors were among those most commonly identified as appealing for both men and women. The appeal of particular behaviors was associated with greater odds that the individual had ever engaged in the behavior. This study contributes to our understanding of more diverse adult sexual behaviors than has previously been captured in U.S. nationally representative probability surveys. Implications for sexuality educators, clinicians, and individuals in the general population are discussed.

Little did I realize that evening that I was beginning a long-term relationship with a place and a landscape that became an integral part of my own career as a geographer. Working with the Special Collections Librarian at Montana State University's Library, we made available copies of Sanborn Insurance Company's maps for 1891 and 1927 which showed detailed maps of businesses and buildings on their assigned block. [...]students went into the field to map contemporary activities for their block. Many of these new residents found jobs in the region's expanding tourist industry (fly opportunities at the university and hospital, and in entrepreneurial businesses based in technology, construction, and outdoor recreation.

John B. Gurdon approached biology with characteristic clarity and patience, asking not only what happens in development, but how much of a molecule is present, and for how long. His nuclear-transfer experiments revealed that cellular identity is not fixed but can be reset, reshaping both biology and medicine. Through studies of oocytes, translational control, and the community effect, he showed that stability in living systems arises from persistence and interaction. His influence reached far beyond the bench: through generosity and curiosity, he nurtured a community of scientists who, like their mentor, enjoy asking how a cell knows what to be.

While the movie theaters ran silent movies, they also projected advertisements by local merchants by way of lantern slides before the feature films began and during intermissions. The third slide, catalog number S233 (Fig. 4), features a colorful circle with the words, \"Stanley Four-Square Household Tools,\" and had illustrations of ten tools around it. The final slide (Fig. 5), catalog number S250, shows nine tools surrounding a rectangular center that reads simply \"Stanley Four-Square Household Tools.\"

Toxic alcohol ingestion is a rare but serious condition that carries with it a high rate of morbidity and mortality. This review highlights the pearls and pitfalls of toxic alcohol ingestion, including presentation, diagnosis, and management in the emergency department (ED) based on current evidence. Toxic alcohols include ethylene glycol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. These substances can be found in several settings including hospitals, hardware stores, and the household, and ingestion can be accidental or intentional. Toxic alcohol ingestion presents with various degrees of inebriation, acidemia, and end-organ damage depending on the substance. Timely diagnosis is critical to prevent irreversible organ damage or death and is based primarily on clinical history and consideration of this entity. Laboratory evidence of toxic alcohol ingestion includes worsening osmolar gap or anion-gap acidemia and end organ injury. Treatment depends on the ingestion and severity of illness but includes alcohol dehydrogenase blockade with fomepizole or ethanol and special considerations for the initiation of hemodialysis. An understanding of toxic alcohol ingestion can assist emergency clinicians in diagnosing and managing this potentially deadly disease.
