The font Geneva is the font that Facebook uses, it use to use Helvetica but then Geneva appeared and it looked similar but it was better looking because it was more readable. The font was developed by Apple in the 1980’s when they were coming up with new technology an wanted to make the words clear and readable. Geneva is a sans-serif type of font and it is a little narrow in width which makes it nice to read. But there are also elements that differentiate the font from ones like Helvetica cause these 2 fonts look similar. Geneva capitals are made from looking and analyzing the main Grotesque style and making it similar but not the same, similar but better, also Geneva capitals have a little more classical forms, and are made to work good with each other.Hence is a line of the Geneva capitals and they make and they make the words be clear and readable, and because of the slightly narrowed widths, it is economical in space. Geneva was made by Susan Kare and it was made for Apple Computers. Geneva is one of the oldest fonts working with Macintosh operating systems. Geneva was a bitmap font, but the later versions were made for TrueType when the technology became usable on the Apple Computers. Geneva originally is a redesigned version of the font Helvetica, these 2 fonts have its similarities, but they are different. Helvetica comes from the Latin name for Switzerland, and sans-serifs of this type of font are known, a lot of people know about it, Geneva is Switzerland’s second biggest city. The version of the font Geneva in Bitmap varied by the way it looked in different sizes, when the sizes where smaller, the lowercase of the letters i, j and l had serifs on the top, the lowercase letter y was parallel, the centre vertex of the uppercase letter M was much taller, and the number 3 had a flat in the top. The font with Larger sizes represent said characters as how they Showed in the TrueType version. From Mac OS 8.5 onwards, the bitmap version Took off serifs from the lowercase letters i, j and l and the lowercase letter y than became angled like the one the TrueType version, but the number 3 still kept the flat top. Susan Kare was born in 1954, she’s a artist and a graphic designer, she did a lot of work for the Apple company in the 1980s. She was one of the original employees of NeXT and she was working as the Creative Director. She was born in Ithaca, New York, she has 2 sisters one of rocket scientist and filker Jordin Kare. Susan graduated high school in 1971. She graduated from Harriton High School. Susan moved to San Francisco and while she lived there she worked for a art museum. She joined the Apple Company after her friend Andy Hertzfeld from highschool called her. Susan Kare, She designed many typefaces, icons, and marketing material for the Macintosh OS. As of today you can still see some of her work in a lot of computer graphics tools and accessories. Mostly on the icons Lasso, the Grabber, and the Paint Bucket. Susan the first designer to create a GUI. Xerox had created a icon-driven GUI, but Susan was the one who really made it better. Susan left apple to then become the creative director at NeXT. Susan also created the font Chicago. The font Chicago was nice and looked good because of the spaces between the letters. Chicago was one of the first fonts they started using a lot. With this font, the letters can take up as much space needed. The letter W usually has one dip at the end of the letter, but with the chicago font, it has 2 dips instead of one. The letter V has a tip that is lower at the centre but it usually is veering to the left with other fonts.Susan has created a lot of icons for companies like Facebook and Microsoft, but she is best known as a graphic designer on the first Mac team. Susan created icons that are forever used not only with Mac with many computer systems. Susan went to the E.G. Conference of 2014 in Monterey to talk about recounting her career. The stories She shares in her talk, talks a lot about how she made the fonts and icons she created. She sketched pixel art on notepads before she got it into a editing program. For Mac users, the Chicago font is very old fashioned. Chicago originally was released as the official font on the original Apple computers. Chicago is a san serif font, it looked good on the screen because of it has a very good legible and pleasant bitmap. It use to be the first font in Apple Systems 1-7.6. Chicago was used for many things such as both menus and buttons throughout Apple’s computer system until Mac OS 8 when Apple got rid of Chicago an introduced Charcoal. But Chicago did not go completely away. You can still find it in some of the first LCD screens of iPods. The beige box, It was square, squat, and looked good. It was easy to use. It was released in 1985. It also came with the font Chicago. This font spelled “Welcome to Macintosh,” when you turned on a Apple computer. They also worked on digital type. To make the computer more realistic, the trash can was real it dint look robotic. Susan made many icons and made them very real looking so that the computer looks good and it don’t look robotic. Most people could not notice why the letters look so different on the chicago font.

Raspberry Pi, or in short the Pi board, is nowadays notably known and used to make DIY (Do It Yourself) personal mini-computer creating the kit. Lately, tons of IoT (Internet of Things) projects are running very smoothly based on the Raspberry Pi board. In the past, Raspberry Pi had been using only for undergraduate and school-level engineering projects. But since when the leading operating system Ubuntu has started building OS for Raspberry Pi board, the demand of Pi boards has risen at the place of skyscraping. Now, instead of having the Raspbian OS, most users use either Ubuntu Server or the subordinate of Ubuntu the Ubuntu Mate on the Raspberry pi board.
Raspberry Pi: A Foolproof Mini PC With Ubuntu
With 40 general-purpose input/output (GPIO) and EEPROM pins, the Raspberry Pi can handle a lot of tasks at a time. The latest Raspberry Pi comes with a 1.5GHz 64-bit quad-core processor and up to 4GB RAM. This microcontroller beast also supports LAN port, WIFI adapter, HDMI port, and both regular and type-C USB port. A perfect mini PC can easily be built with all these attractive features.
To run this hardware configuration properly, it is very much important to choose a stable and functional Operating System. Among all the alternative Operating Systems of Raspberry Pi, no doubt Ubuntu is a wise choice. Ubuntu Mate and Ubuntu server is the most chosen and used OS on Raspberry Pi.
In this post, we will see how to install Ubuntu as well as the Ubuntu Server and the subordinate of Ubuntu, the Ubuntu Mate, on the Raspberry Pi board.
Installing Ubuntu Linux on Raspberry Pi
Before Raspberry Pi, Arduino boards were very much popular among microcontroller engineers for building projects. Arduino comes with a programmable integrated circuit (IC) where Raspberry Pi comes with a fully functional desktop environment. Arduino based projects are much more entry-level than building multi-functional complex projects. Installing Ubuntu on Pi boards is a wise decision because most of the IoT projects and servers are build on Ubuntu. And it’s also easy to handle.
Step 1: Downloading the Ubuntu Image File
To install Ubuntu on Pi board first, we need to download the Ubuntu image file from the official website of Ubuntu. You can choose either the Ubuntu Server or the Ubuntu Mate image. If you’re a system administrator, need to maintain a database, Server Cluster, or some other FTP system, I will definitely recommend you grab the Ubuntu Server image, otherwise for normal use as a mini PC Ubuntu Mate is perfect.
You may also get confused about which version should I get? 32 bit or 64 bit? I’m not going to give you any rookie advice, for Raspberry Pi 4, the 32bit version works well. But for other older Pi boards, the 64bit version works smoothly. So, If you have the Raspberry Pi 4 version, go for the 32bit version.
Step 2: Installing Etcher on Your System
Etcher is a software that can extract, burn, or open up an Os image or ISO file. As we are working with n Ubuntu Mate/Server image file, so we will use the Etcher tool to make our image file bootable. You can download the Debian package file from GitHub, or you may proceed with the repository PPA. If you’re doing all the tasks from a Windows Pc or MAC PC, you will find the installer packages on the official website of Etcher.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61 sudo apt update sudo apt install balena-etcher-electron
Step 3: Flashing Ubuntu OS for Raspberry Pi
When you’re done installing the Etcher, now you are ready to make a bootable file of Ubuntu to gear up your little horse. To create a flashable file for Raspberry Pi, let not the memory card become an issue, always take a class 10 SD memory card. Insert the SD card into your desktop and open Etcher. Now, follow the instructions, as shown in the figure below.
If your SD card is inserted properly, Etcher will automatically find your removable device, if it doesn’t make it manually. Then for the option, click on the Plus (+) icon and choose the directory where you have downloaded the Ubuntu image file. Now, if everything is Okay, hit on the Flash button. Based on your SD card class and your system configuration, it will take more or less 15 minutes.
Step 4: Enabling Overclocking of Raspberry Pi
If you are using the Raspberry pi 4 version, then you’ve got a CPU of 1.5GHz. Modern computers inspire users to multitask. If you think that you’ll be using the Raspberry Pi board for multifunctional work, then I recommend you to do a little engineering inside your Ubuntu Server/Mate image. Yes, we are going to see how to enable the overclocking of the Pi board. By allowing the overclocking, you can speed up your system up to 2.147 GHz.
Go to file manager and locate the SD card where you’ve created the booted image file. Now fond the system-boot folder. And inside the folder, open the
config.txt file with your notepad. At the bottom of the text codes, add the following script commands, and save the file.
over_voltage=4 arm_freq=2000 gpu_freq=650
Step 5: Booting Up Your Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu Linux
Now get ready to Power up your Raspberry Pi board, make sure that you have a stable power supply. Insert the SD card inside your Raspberry Pi board. Connect the ethernet cable to get your OS updated. Connect your HDMI cable with your monitor. If you’re using a 7 inch Capacitive IPS LCD Display, then you might need to make a little change again inside your
config.txt file to ensure that your HDMI cable is passing the signal smoothly. The script codes are given right below.
max_usb_current=1 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=1 hdmi_mode=87 hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
Okay, now its time to plug the power cable with your Raspberry Pi board. When the board is powered, it will automatically take you to the boot screen. The first boot time makes take 3 to 5 minutes. But once you’re done, you will be asked to enter a username and a password. For Ubuntu Mate and Ubuntu server, the default username and password are given below. You’ll get an option to change the username and password later.
Username: ubuntu Password: ubuntu
Till this step, you are almost done installing the Ubuntu on your Raspberry Pi board. Hereafter the password generating function is over; you will see a floating command prompt. Here you will choose your operating system, whether you want to get Ubuntu Mate or the Ubuntu server. Follow the commands provided below as instructed.
- To install the Ubuntu Mate desktop on Raspberry Pi
sudo apt install ubuntu-mate-desktop
- To install the Ubuntu Server on Raspberry Pi
sudo apt install ubuntu
If you want to install the other variations of Ubuntu like Xubuntu, Lubuntu, or Kubuntu, you can replace the ubuntu part from your command line.
sudo apt install xubuntu sudo apt install lubuntu sudo apt install kubuntu
After all the installer files are downloaded and installed inside your machine, you will be asked to choose the display manager whether you want to use the
gdm stands for Gnome display manager and
lightdm stands for light display manager. You can choose the default Ubuntu display manager, which is
gdm3 and press Ok.
After you press all these actions, there is almost nothing in your hand. Let the Raspberry Pi board handle rest of the job. With internet connection form The LAN cable you connected, it will download and install almost everything you need to set up a full fresh PC. After a while, you will find that the installation process is over, and then you can reboot your Raspberry Pi system with Ubuntu. For Ubuntu Mate, you can reboot your system with the following command line written below.
Step 6: Setting up Secure Shell (SSH) for Ubuntu Server
If you have installed the Ubuntu Server, you need to set up the Secure Shell (SSH) for your Raspberry Pi board. You can enable the SSH from either the Ubuntu boot files or the Raspberry Pi board. To enable SSH form Ubuntu Server, follow the instructions.
You must not forget that we have edited the
config.txt file to enable the overclocking of Raspberry Pi, we can enable the SSH in the same way before the installation process is started. In Linux, the SSH configuration file is located in the root directory. You will find the SSH file here:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config. You can edit this file using nano notepad.
You can also enable the SSH using the terminal commands. To enable SSH, follow the terminal instructions.
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install openssh-server sudo service ssh enable sudo service ssh start
Step 7: Maintenance of the Raspberry Pi Board
To keep your mini pc cool and calm, you can always use a cooling fan along with an attractive case. There are different types of Raspberry Pi cases available in the online market you can choose yours easily. You can also use an aluminum heat sink right over your CPU panel to bypass overheating.
Raspberry Pi board is the first choice of engineers to build any project or mini server. As the Raspberry Pi works smoothly with Ubuntu Mate, it can be a perfect computer learning kit for the kids. In this post, we have discussed the field of uses and usefulness of Raspberry Pi. We have also covered the area of how to get an instant PC with Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi.
Hey, if you are a Raspberry Pi user, you can share your experiences with us. If you find this post useful, you can also share this post on your social accounts. Feel free to write any comments about this post in the comment section.

Treatment Versus Punishment: That Is the Question!
When it comes to the question of whether treatment or punishment should be used for juvenile offenders, it is important to remember that juveniles are still developing into adults: their minds, bodies, … the scale of what they are for adults. The focus of juvenile justice should be on rehabilitation—not punishment. This paper will explain why treatment is the better option when it comes to juvenile justice.

Q1. According to your text please describe how negative reinforcement increases the avoidance behaviors often associated with anxiety.
Negative reinforcement refers to the withdrawal of an unpleasant stimulus to reward behavior. Using operant conditioning in a laboratory experiment, this might be accomplished by the withdrawal of an unpleasant sound when the desired behavior is completed. However, in the real world, for someone experiencing anxiety, the usual way in which someone suffering from this psychological disorder deals with the unpleasant feelings of anxiety (pounding heart, sweating, and racing thoughts) is to withdraw from the situation and avoid the triggering stimulus. Although this, on the surface, might seem to be sensible on the one hand, on the other hand it can result in the anxious individual becoming socially withdrawn or avoiding positive life experiences because of the fear. For fears of very common things—such as driving—it can significantly impair……

Dr. Kyla D Driest has the following 2 specialties
A rheumatologist is a physician who has received extensive training in diagnosing and treating rheumatic conditions. Rheumatic conditions involve the joints, soft tissues, autoimmune system, vascular system, and connective tissues.
Some of the conditions that rheumatologists treat are rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and lupus. These are all conditions that involve a lot of pain and make mobility difficult. Rheumatologists use medications, such as analgesics, NSAIDs, steroids, DMARDs, infliximab, and adalimumab, as well as occupational therapy, in order to decrease pain and improve a patient's quality of life.
A pediatrician is a doctor who specializes in the regular care of children, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of illness in children. Young patients are often more complicated to treat because they are still growing and developing.
While pediatricians may sub-specialize in specific therapy areas like oncology, surgery, ophthalmology, and anesthesiology, in general, pediatricians provide services like vaccinations, health exams, and treatment of common ailments and injuries. In addition, pediatricians are trained to handle the complex emotional and behavioral issues faced by children, especially during puberty.
Pediatricians normally see their patients from birth until the age of 18, although some may agree to treat patients into their early 20s, if requested.

Dr. Jessica B Fleischer has the following 2 specialties
- Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism
An endocrinologist is a physician with extensive training in understanding, diagnosing and treating conditions related to the endocrine system. The endocrine system regulates the balance of hormones.
Conditions of the endocrine system involve an over-abundance, or deficiency of a certain hormone. While there is a range when it comes to the amount of a hormone that is deemed normal in a human, these specialists determine whether a person's amount of hormone is indicative of a health concern. Two conditions this specialist might treat are diabetes and obesity.
- Internal Medicine
An internist is a physician who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the adult population—both acute and chronic.
These doctors are often who adults see as their primary physicians because they treat a broad range of illnesses that do not require surgical or specialist interventions. They also work to help a patient maintain optimal health in order to prevent the onset of disease.
In addition to treating the common cold and flu, internists also treat chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

Asbestosis-Related Years of Potential Life Lost Before Age 65 Years --- United States, 1968--2005
Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause asbestosis and other diseases (1) after a latency of 10--40 years from initial exposure to onset of illness. Asbestos still is used in the United States (approximately 2,200 metric tons in 2006) in certain products manufactured domestically (2). In addition, an undocumented amount of asbestos continues to be imported in products manufactured elsewhere, and a substantial amount of asbestos remains in existing buildings and manufactured products. An estimated 1.3 million construction and general industry workers in the United States potentially are exposed to asbestos each year, mainly from manipulation of asbestos during renovation or demolition activities (3). Also, although asbestos ore is no longer mined in the United States (4), some U.S. mine workers might remain at risk for exposure to asbestos contained in other ores. To characterize trends in premature mortality attributed to asbestosis in the United States, CDC analyzed annual underlying cause-of-death data for 1968--2005, the most recent years for which data were available.* This report describes the results of that analysis, which indicated that annual years of potential life lost before age 65 years (YPLL) attributed to asbestosis increased 64%, from an average of 146.0 YPLL per year during 1968--1972 to 239.6 per year during 2001--2005 (regression trend for the 5-year moving average, p<0.001), for an overall total of 7,267 YPLL (mean per decedent: 6.2) over the entire period. These results demonstrate that asbestosis-attributable YPLL continue to occur and that efforts to prevent, track, and eliminate asbestosis need to be maintained.
For this analysis, decedents for whom the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code for asbestosis was listed as the underlying cause of death were identified from 1968--2005 mortality data. Given the occupational etiology and long latency of asbestosis, analysis was restricted to deaths of persons aged >25 years. Standard industry and occupation information that met CDC quality criteria was available for decedents in 26 states during the 1985--1999 period.§ After 1999, funds for coding industry and occupation were not available, and coding at the state level ceased. The number of states reporting data in any particular year varied from 16 to 22, and the number of years of data available for any one state varied from 2 to 15. Industry and occupation were classified according to two U.S. Census Bureau coding systems.¶ YPLL and mean YPLL were calculated using 5-year age groups and standard methodology (5). A simple linear regression model was used for time-trend analysis of YPLL (using 5-year moving averages).
During 1968--2005, asbestosis was identified as the underlying cause of death for 9,024 decedents. Of these, 1,169 (13.0%) were aged 25--64 years, including one (0.1%) decedent aged 25--34 years; 17 (1.5%) aged 35--44 years; 165 (14.1%) aged 45--54 years; and 986 (84.3%) aged 55--64 years, accounting for 7,267 YPLL (mean per decedent: 6.2). The majority of asbestosis decedents aged 25--64 years were male (1,125 [96.2%]) and white (1,064 [91.0%]), accounting for 7,038 (96.8%) and 6,470 (89.0%) YPLL, respectively (Table 1).
YPLL attributed to asbestosis deaths increased 64%, from an average of 146.0 per year during 1968--1972 to 239.6 per year during 2001--2005 (regression trend, p<0.001). YPLL varied annually, from a low of 69 (mean per decedent: 8.6) in 1973 to a high of 306 (mean per decedent: 5.9) in 1990 (Figure). The rate varied annually, from a low of 0.73 per million in 1973 to a high of 2.78 per million in 1970. During 1968--2005, asbestosis deaths in Texas (85; 577 YPLL), Pennsylvania (99; 544 YPLL), New Jersey (90; 527 YPLL), and California (76; 468 YPLL) accounted for 29.9% of all decedents aged 25--64 years with asbestosis as the underlying cause of death and 29.1% of the total YPLL attributed to asbestosis (Table 1).
Industry and occupation information was available for 153 (28.8%) of the 531 decedents aged 25--64 years with asbestosis as the underlying cause of death during 1985--1999 (Table 2). Of 54 industries reported, the greatest YPLL were in construction (244 YPLL; mean per decedent: 5.7); ship and boat building and repairing (41; mean per decedent: 5.9); and military (41; mean per decedent: 5.9). Of 59 occupations reported, the greatest YPLL were for insulation workers (112; mean per decedent: 5.9); managers and administrators, not elsewhere classified (43; mean per decedent: 7.2); and plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters (42; mean per decedent: 4.7).
Reported by: JM Mazurek, MD, JM Wood, MS, Div of Respiratory Disease Studies, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, CDC.
YPLL are a measure of premature mortality that emphasizes deaths occurring among younger persons during their most productive years (5,6). Persons dying before age 65 years are considered as having years of potential work tenure lost, on the assumption that these are a worker's most productive years. During 1968--2005, asbestosis was identified as the underlying cause of death for 1,169 decedents aged 25--64 years, accounting for 7,267 YPLL. Overall, a mean of 6.2 YPLL per decedent was attributed to asbestosis during 1968--2005, indicating that, on average, decedents aged 25--64 years with asbestosis listed as the underlying cause of death died at age 58 years. Despite the decline in asbestos use and reduced exposures, the findings described in this report indicate that asbestosis-attributable YPLL continue to occur. Because asbestosis mortality typically manifests several decades after initial exposure to asbestos, much of the continuing YPLL likely is attributed to exposures experienced decades ago. During 1970--2004, the annual number of asbestosis-related deaths (based on the analysis of asbestosis deaths coded on the entity axis in multiple cause-of-death files**) in the United States increased nearly 17-fold, from 89 (age-adjusted death rate: 0.6 per million persons aged >15 years) in 1970 to 1,493 (6.9) in 2000, and then declined slightly to 1,470 (6.3) in 2004, for an overall total of 25,413 asbestosis deaths over the entire period (7). This slight decline in the age-adjusted death rate was attributed to several factors, including reduced use of asbestos and improved control of asbestos exposure (8,9). Beginning several decades ago, increased awareness of the health consequences of asbestos exposure stimulated voluntary and regulatory actions by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (8,9).
Available data (for 153 decedents) indicated that the greatest industry-specific YPLL values were associated with work in construction and ship and boat building and repairing, which is consistent with documented past industry-specific asbestos exposures (1). Likewise, two of the three occupations with the greatest YPLL values, insulation workers and plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters, are well known to have been associated with asbestos exposures.
The findings in this report are subject to at least six limitations. First, this report used a death certificate--based definition of asbestosis as the underlying cause of death. Because some deaths from asbestosis might have been attributed to other diseases (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) instead of to asbestosis, the findings in this report likely underestimate deaths and YPLL attributable to asbestosis. Second, complete work histories are not listed on death certificates, and the relevance of the reported usual industry and occupation to actual hazardous exposures could not be verified. Although no studies have examined the accuracy of usual industry and occupation information on death certificates specifically for asbestosis decedents, research suggests a generally good agreement of this information compared with that from other sources (10). Third, coded information on usual industry and occupation were available for decedents in only 26 states, accounting for 28.8% of all U.S. asbestosis decedents during 1985--1999. Thus, these data might not be nationally representative for 1985--1999. Fourth, the state issuing a death certificate is not always the state in which the decedent's asbestos exposure occurred. Fifth, ICD cause-of-death codes used in this analysis changed twice during 1968--2005. However, these revisions likely did not introduce bias or affect the temporal trend in asbestosis deaths (7). Finally, YPLL, as calculated, do not account for the full burden of asbestosis. During the period for which CDC analyzed U.S. death data, approximately 87% of the deaths with asbestosis listed as the underlying cause of death occurred in persons aged >65 years. Moreover, although YPLL do reflect premature mortality during the most productive years of life, YPLL do not account for all reduced quality of life or work years lost attributed to disability from asbestosis. Persons with asbestosis can live for many years with severely limited lung function and few treatment options, leading to inability to work.
The continuing occurrence of cases of asbestos in younger persons (asbestosis-attributable YPLL) underscores the need for persistent asbestosis prevention and elimination efforts. Effective primary prevention is critical because asbestos-related diseases can develop or progress even after occupational exposure ends. Guidance for persons concerned about exposure to asbestos and for health-care providers who work with patients potentially exposed to asbestos is available at http://www.cdc.gov/health/asbestos.htm. CDC continues to conduct surveillance for asbestosis and other asbestos-related deaths to follow trends and identify problems.
This report is based, in part, on contributions by RM Castellan, MD, and PJ Middendorf, PhD, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, CDC.
* Since 1968, CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has compiled multiple cause-of-death data annually from death certificates in the United States. CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) extracts information on deaths from occupationally related respiratory diseases and conditions from the NCHS data and stores the information in the National Occupational Respiratory Mortality System (NORMS), available at http://webappa.cdc.gov/ords/norms.html.

For years 1999--2005, decedents with ICD-10 underlying cause coded as J65 (pneumoconiosis associated with tuberculosis) or J92.0 (pleural plaque with presence of asbestos) also were included in the underlying cause-of-death tabulation for asbestosis if code J61 also was listed on the death certificate.

¶ Industry and occupation information from death certificates was coded on the NCHS multiple cause-of-death data files according to the 1980 U.S. Bureau of Census Index of Industries and Occupations classification system from1985 to 1992, and according to the 1990 U.S. Bureau of Census classification system from 1993 to 1999. For the industries and occupations listed in this report, the 1980 and 1990 classification system codes and titles were the same.
