I do not know the things I might have created without the thoughts shown by you relating to that concern. Previously it was an absolute frightful setting in my position, nevertheless being able to see the well-written strategy you managed that forced me to cry over gladness. I am just happier for your information as well as hope that you are aware of a great job your are carrying out instructing some other people by way of a web site. More than likely you have never come across all of us. I simply had to say thanks all over again.

How much can I grind at one time? Is the coffee bean grinder electric or manual? Is the grinder a space saver? How many coarness levels does the grinder have, ie; fine, ultrafine or coarse, medium coarseness. How was the cost of a grinder? What is difference in the most expensive grinder to the less expensive grinders? Can you use any flavor of coffee to grind? Does the coffee bean grinder come attached to a coffee maker? Does the coffee grinder have a any type of timer- along with a automatic shut off?

Alternatively you can do spatial correlations to see if there is a mathematical relationship between the closures and other variables. For instance in the usa there is a dataset in Finder with the total number of Starbucks in metro areas so you could see if they were just closing stores based on saturated markets. You could go more exotic and bring in home foreclosures or gas prices and see if there is a relationship there. We've not exposed this type of functionality in our system, but all the data is there to do it off line. You could use a GIS package for the spatial dimension or just excel for non-spatial regression or pearson correlations. best, sean Hi Tim,

It will be itneresting to see if the patterns are the same as in the US. best, sean Thanks Tim – we’ll get it geocoded and up into Finder! shortly.
