Pacman books are starting to be wide spread too, as more Pacman titles are being released. Pacman can now be found in all main stream book and magazines publishing houses. Just like Pacman, Pacman puzzles are spreading. The Pacman craze started, when the Guardian and The Daily Mail, in response to the Pacman craze, introduced daily Pac man puzzles as Pacman in the UK. According to Nikoli, Pacman/Pac man was the top ranking puzzle till 1992 and only then was Pacman over taken by Pacman.Īs with Pacman, the market craze started only after the puzzle was exported back to the West from Japan. Pacman/Pac man Puzzles appear in 100 Japanese magazines and newspapers today, and the Pacman craze is in second place, right after Pacman. ![]() Since then 22 Pacman/Pac man booklets followed and static's show that over one million Pacman booklets have been sold. ![]() Pacman/Pac man made it to Japan only in 1980, a combination of the Japanese word for "addition" and the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "Pacman."Ħ years after it release Nikoli renamed Kasan Kurosu as Pac man, and released the first Pac man/Pacman booklet. Since then Pacman aka Pac man have been a regular feature in every arcade arena in the US and also in xarcades arenas.

And though it’s ideal for cleaning up after her (very hairy, part-husky) dog on the hardwood floor of her Brooklyn apartment, she notes that it’s not quite as effective on other floor types. Strategist editor Maxine Builder is also a fan of the Bissell Zing, especially because the canister design fits easily at the bottom of a coat closet. “If you’re looking for a vacuum that packs a punch and is under $75, this is a go-to. “It’s lightweight, so you can carry it around to get in tight or high-up spaces,” says McAllister.

I tested the Stratos after hosting my three kid nephews for dinner, and we laughed that it works as a messy-eater detector when you run it under each dining chair. This feature, called Clean Sense IQ in the Stratos, visually shows you when debris is detected and when it’s clean. In addition to its contortionist capabilities, the Shark Stratos, like the Dyson Gen5detect, automatically boosts its suction power when it comes across bigger messes. Plus the whole thing folds in half for super-compact storage - it’s seriously amazing how small it becomes.” Ceramicist Liz Burns says, “It’s a dream to slide my Shark Stratos under my pottery wheel and beneath nearby shelves to pick up dust and debris with ease.

When I tested a Gen5 myself (I got my hands on a Gen5outsize, which has double the run time and a dustbin that’s over twice as large as the Gen5detect), what blew me away was the vacuum’s built-in LCD screen that gives you a satisfyingly grotesque count of how many particles it nabs from your floors. “It also has multiple cleaning heads that can be swapped in, and the filter is washable, so there’s less waste.” “It’s superlight and gets all kinds of dusty bits,” she says. That’s likely why Toni Roberts, the executive pastry chef at the Ritz-Carlton, Chicago, loves using her Gen5detect in the kitchen. “It illuminates invisible dust and hair on my floors, so I can be sure I’m sucking up as much filth as possible.” Ranager also raves about how it converts to a handheld vacuum, which is ideal for countertop spills. In addition to its 70-minute run time, she’s a fan of its dust-illuminating technology that has twice the power of previous versions.

For either of these, we first have to construct the original cross-table. These can be done by means of the margin.table() and prop.table() functions respectively. It may sometimes be of interest to compute marginal tables that is, the sums of the counts along one or the other dimension of a table, or relative frequencies, generally expressed as proportions of the row or column totals. This function creates "flat" tables e.g., like this: This is where the ftable command is useful. For example, what do you see when you do the following?Īs you add dimensions, you get more of these two-sided subtables and it becomes rather easy to lose track. We can also construct tables with more than two sides in R. Make sure you first detach the air quality data set and attach airquality.new. Now, let us construct some simple tables. Read in the file and print out rows 50 to 60 of the new data set airquality.new. The columns good temp and badozone represent days when temperatures were greater than or equal to 80 (good) or not (low) and if the ozone was greater than or equal to 60 (high) or not (low), respectively. Ozone Solar.R Wind Temp Month Day goodtemp badozone For the next few examples we will be using the dataset. The simple "table" command in R can be used to create one-, two- and multi-way tables from categorical data. We now discuss how you can create tables from your data and calculate relative frequencies. Do a strip chart of ozone levels by month.Ĭategorical data are often described in the form of tables.Do a boxplot of ozone levels by month and wind speed by month.Next, create the following plots in R, using the commands you have learnt above: By hand, this is equivalent to a dot diagram where every number is marked with a dot on a number line.ĭetach the esoph data set and attach the air quality data set. In those cases, plotting the raw data may be more desirable. If the data set is small, sometimes a boxplot may not be very accurate, as the quartiles are not well estimated from the data and may give a falsely inflated or deflated figure. We will encounter many more examples of model formulas later on- such as when we use R for regression analysis. ![]() Notation of the type y ~ x can be read as "y described using x". We can draw a boxplot of the number of cancer cases according to each level of alcohol consumption (alcgp): (Look up the R help on this data set to find out more about the variables.) The first 5 rows of the data are shown below: As a further example, let us consider another data set esoph in R, relating to a case-control study of esophageal cancer in France, containing records for 88 age/alcohol/tobacco combinations. We have already looked at examples with histograms and boxplots. ![]() With grouped data, it is important to be able not only to create plots for each group but also to compare the plots between groups. If there are any missing values, these can be excluded if we simply adding an extra argument na.rm=T to tapply.Ĭompute the range and mean of Ozone levels for each month, using the tapply command. For example, we might want to compute the mean temperatures in each month: This can be done using the tapply() command. When dealing with grouped data, you will often want to have various summary statistics computed within groups for example, a table of means and standard deviations. Scatterplots in R (R Tutorial 2.6) MarinStatsLectures The full range of point plotting symbols used in R are given by "pch" in the range 1 to 25 see the help on "points" to see what each of these represent. "col" refers to the color of symbols plotted. Repeats the scatterplot, this time with red filled circles that are nicer to look at. > plot(airquality$Temp, airquality$Ozone, col="red", pch =19) The default plotting symbols in R are not always pretty! You can actually change the plotting symbols, or colors to something nicer. Write the following command in R and describe what you see in terms of relationships between the variables. With more than two variables, the pairs() command draws a scatterplot matrix. > plot(airquality$Temp, airquality$Ozone) # How do Ozone and temperature measurements relate? ![]() The R command for drawing a scatterplot of two variables is a simple command of the form "plot(x,y)." We will look at this in more detail later when we discuss regression and correlation.

Laura Ries, president of Ries & Ries, a marketing firm based in Atlanta, said companies that want the “street cred” of a celebrity may end up losing control of the message they want to convey. Last month, Reebok also ended its relationship with Rick Ross after he rapped about giving a woman a drug to have his way with her. In fact, Mountain Dew also was criticized recently because of its endorsement deal with Lil Wayne, whose rap lyrics compared a rough sex act to the tortuous death of Emmett Till, a black teen who was murdered in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman. But the controversy over its latest spot illustrates the fine line that companies must walk when trying to be hip. Yesterday Wayne sort of apologized to the Till family for using the name of Emmett Till in an "inappropriate" lyric in his guest verse on rapper Future's song "Karate Chop." The apology was not accepted.Mountain Dew, known for its neon colour and high caffeine content, is generally marketed to younger men and sometimes attempts to have edgier ads. The controversy comes as Mountain Dew's endorsement deal with Lil Wayne causes more problems for the company. We have removed the video from all Mountain Dew channels and have been informed that Tyler is removing it from his channels as well." A PepsiCo spokesperson tells Ad Week, "We understand how this video could be perceived by some as offensive, and we apologize to those who were offended. The ad has been pulled from Mountain Dew's website and YouTube is pulling copies of it as soon as they appear. This doesn’t even include the fact that the company has put black men on par with animals." Their decision to lean on well-known racial stereotypes is beyond disgusting. Mountain Dew has set a new low for corporate racism. Boyce Watkins calls it "arguably the most racist commercial in history. The officer then takes a sip of the beverage. Toward the end, the goat threatens her to “keep your mouth shut.” The woman begins to yell repeatedly, “I can’t do this,” followed by a sequence of shrill “noes” as she hops out of the room. “I don’t think I can do this,” the woman says, visibly frightened. ![]() A voice-over for the animal says in a menacing tone: “It’s me. The waitress, who is white, is stricken with fear as she looks at the men and the goat. The goat taunts the woman with phrases like "snitches get stitches, fool," "keep your mouth shut" and "I'm going to get out of here and do you up." It gets worse- from the Times: The ad features members of the music group Odd Future and a goat forming a police lineup for a battered woman. The other controversial ad is for Mountain Dew, which hired Tyler Okonma, known as Tyler, the Creator, a hip-hop producer and rap artist, to create it. (The vehicle is not sold in America because heroin users here were offended by the car's name.) Okay that's a stupid joke, but what's NOT a joke is the ad's old-timey music, which references China "as 'the land of Fu Manchu' where girls say 'ching, ching, chop-suey." This offended Asian viewers, and after an awkward attempt to edit it, GM has decided to pull the ad altogether: The GM commercial, which aired on Canadian television and online throughout Europe, was for the Chevrolet Trax.

It wasn’t directed at their young audience, but rather their adult followers on social media. Highlights Hangout is a monthly podcast that brings Highlights Magazine, an American icon, to life in a whole new way. It was with those values in mind, Johnson said, that Highlights decided to release a statement last June. “If we keep in mind that we're not committed to magazines, we're not committed to a certain product type or technology, what we're committed to is making a positive impact on children, that frees us up to think, ‘what has to stay the same?’ Certain values, certain beliefs about children stay the same. “I often say inside the company, so we're not a magazine company and in fact, we never were," said Johnson.
