TikTok Marketing: A Marketer's Definitive Guide for 2020
Posted on November 24, 2020 December 1, 2020 by Mark Seaman
TikTok seems like an app that came from nowhere and then exploded in popularity due to the Gen Z crowd's influence. An app that initially started in China has now become a worldwide sensation.
In fact, it hit 1.5 billion downloads last year from Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store. TikTok had its humble beginnings as a moderately successful video-sharing app called Douyin in China, and it was known as TikTok to the rest of the world.
2018 was the year that TikTok started to make its mark. When they acquired the Musical.ly app, they started to migrate all their non-Chinese users to the newly combined TikTok platform. However, the company still operates Douyin as a separate app in China.
The global homebody economy this year has become another catalyst that further propelled the growth of TikTok today. It's no wonder why brands are scrambling to capitalize on this platform's popularity.
Brands are riding on the app's popularity as everyone is having fun sharing and creating viral user-generated content aimed at TikTok's young and social media-savvy audience.
General Facts About TikTok
· TikTok is the sixth-largest social network in the world.
Garnering around 800 million monthly active users, Hootsuite reported that the app is making its mark among the other social media giants like Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. While it still has a long way to catch up, it should be noted that it has already surpassed LinkedIn, Reddit, Snapchat, Twitter, and Pinterest.
· It's the Number 1 downloaded app in 2020, so far.
The meteoric rise of TikTok has been really impressive. Considering the fact that its global release was just two years ago, it already ranks as one of the most downloaded apps of the past decade. Mobile data analytics company App Annie's State of Mobile 2020 noted that TikTok ranks the highest in the downloads charts this year too.
· TikTok's parent company, Bytedance, is today's most valuable startup.
Estimated at around $78 Billion, Bytedance has taken the Uber app's crown as the world's most valuable startup today.
· Due to data privacy issues, the US Commerce Department, under President Trump, announced that it will ban TikTok from US app stores.
The government cracked down on TikTok and issued a prohibition on certain online TikTok transactions due to national security concerns. The Trump administration has been pressuring the app's Chinese owner to sell TikTok's US operations to a domestic company to alleviate their concerns over data collection issues. However, a federal judge recently granted TikTok's request for a temporary injunction against the ban.
User Demographics on TikTok
Image course: (2020) Wp-en.oberlo.com. Available at: https://wp-en.oberlo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/7-min.jpg (Accessed: 16 October 2020).
· It's available in more than 155 countries.
As of 2019, TikTok is currently available in 155 countries. Brands can reach their worldwide audience in more than 75 languages. The app is doing well in Asia. It has been downloaded more than 10 million times in Thailand alone. While India claims more than 120 million monthly active users, making it their largest user base outside of China.
· There are 30 million monthly active users in the US.
The US currently represents 5% of TikTok's global audience. App Annie also noted the app's 375% YOY (year-over-year) growth in the US. In fact, TikTok clubs are the latest extracurricular trend in schools. Artists like Justin Bieber and Camila Cabello are promoting TikTok dance challenges to hype their song promotions online.
· Around 40 TikTok-famous influencers have more than 10 million followers.
It's top 25 accounts currently have more than 20 million followers. Charli D'Amelio, one of TikTok's biggest influencers, currently has more than 44.4 million fans. Surprisingly, TikTok influencers outshine mainstream celebrities in terms of follower count on the platform. Most of TikTok creators' claim to fame was on the app itself or its predecessor, Musical.ly.
· An average user spends around 46 minutes on the platform.
In terms of the daily time spent on the platform, users typically spend around 46 minutes daily on TikTok. The average user would typically open the app eight times a day. The app's usage figures could be credited to its For You feed algorithm, where viewers get hooked on watching videos that capture their interests.
· Around 35% of users regularly participate in a hashtag challenge.
TikTok reported that around 16% of all its videos are tied to hashtag challenges, and more than one-third of its users have participated in one. Brands are also jumping on board the platform's trend, creating their own branded hashtag challenge for their young adult audience.
Business Statistics About TikTok
· The platform ranks 6th in consumer spending.
A report on App Annie showed that consumer spending on the platform is rising. TikTok is shown to be just behind Tinder, YouTube, Netflix, iQIYI, and Tencent Video. However, it should be noted that the app currently ranks ahead of Disney+, Google One, Pandora Music, and Line Manga.
· The app guarantees 5 million daily impressions for brand takeovers.
Brand takeovers on TikTok will appear as soon as the app is opened. The brand's full-screen video, GIF, or image will appear for a few seconds, and it can also be linked to their internal or external website. These takeovers also come with a couple of guarantees – only one advertiser per day and a total of five million impressions.
· Ad prices range around $50 – $150 000 on the platform.
Starting from a $50 minimum ad group level budget, marketers with access to TikTok's ad platform can set daily or all-time budget limits. Ad pricing formats include:
In-Feed Video: $25,000 minimum per campaign with $30,000 daily maximum.
Brand Takeover: $50,000 per day.
Hashtag Challenge: $150,000 for six days.
Branded Lenses: $80,000 – $120,000
· Its influencer marketplace lists more than 1000 stars.
TikTok's Creator Marketplace, which was launched last year, is an ingenious portal that helps connect brands and agencies to the app's whitelisted influencers. While the app is still being tested, this by-invitation-only database allows brands to search for TikTok-famous stars using various filters such as location, number of fans, and content topic.
Why get started on TikTok?
REASON 1: It has a huge "trend culture" of user-generated content that works.
The platform understands how trends and the "virality" of videos work. The innovative use of user-generated content where users can quickly jump on the current bandwagon to create their own videos is something that is uniquely TikTok.
From dance routines, pet videos, and lip-sync performances, brands can find a way to use these trends and reach their audience on TikTok. Brands can also try using Shakr to grow their TikTok audience with great video creatives to encourage user-generated video campaigns on the platform. Shakr will help create a unique and customized creative video to help your brand engage with your TikTok audience.
REASON 2: It has a unique algorithm where your level of exposure is based on your videos' success and popularity instead of your profile as a whole.
TikTok's unique video algorithm is not just based on straight views alone. It also takes into account other factors such as rewatches, likes, follows, etc. Additionally, initial exposure of the video is also based on geographic location. This is great for local brands and small businesses since they can target local audiences close to their location.
With the help of Shakr Local, brands can create locally relevant video campaigns on TikTok to create unique and customized creative videos that will help the brand engage with their local audience. TikTok uses machine learning to assess the quality of the videos, so even if your brand does not get a large number of views per video, the people who do view them are nearby and are more likely to patronize your products and services.
REASON 3: It has a younger audience that can be harder to reach on other social platforms.
TikTok has succeeded when it comes to engaging with their young audiences. The platform has 41% of TikTok users aged between 16 and 24. Its popularity to the younger Gen Z crowd is not surprising since it has been the platform's target audience from the very beginning. The app understands this particular age group's habits and preferences, and it gives its audience exactly what it's looking for. This is usually the audience that is hard to market, so using TikTok can be the brand's gateway to reach its Gen Z audience.
REASON 4: It is not yet as saturated with brands compared to other platforms.
TikTok is still a relatively young and very organic platform. A user can scroll through a lot of videos before they see an ad. As such, timing is crucial for brands. Start exploring TikTok to bring out the more fun side of the brand and see where it could lead.
TikTok Video Opportunities for Your Brand
BENEFIT 1: In-Feed Advertising
This is a paid advertising space on TikTok's main feed. Brands can use their own video campaigns on the platform to showcase their products and services. You can start by creating your own channel and slowly build your audience by uploading relevant videos on your channel. Then once you get the hang of it, you can start exploring TikTok's ad platform.
BENEFIT 2: Sponsored Challenges
Challenge videos are one of the unique user-generated content within the TikTok community. TikTok users love taking part in a challenge and uploading their own videos about it with a given #hashtag name to make it more memorable and easier to find. Brands can also create their own sponsored hashtag challenges on TikTok. Once the challenge is launched, the TikTok community can participate by making their own in just a few clicks.
BENEFIT 3: Influencer Videos
Just like on other video-based platforms, influencer marketing techniques also work on TikTok. TikTok has a specific space for influencers called the TikTok influencer marketplace, where the community can see what their favorite influencers are recommending. This is a unique move in the realm of influencer marketing since putting all the influencer promotions videos will help the audience distinguish someone's own content from paid ads.
Successful Brands on TikTok
Elf has successfully adopted TikTok and produced amazing engagement results on the platform. They went all-in on their campaign and created an original song called the "Eyes Lips Face" after the brand's acronym. With over 5 billion videos, the brand used famous beauty influencers like James Charles to hype up the campaign on the platform.
@jamescharles
eyes lips face… **waist #makeup #fyp #transformation
♬ Eyes. Lips. Face. (e.l.f.) – iLL Wayno & Holla FyeSixWun
Skincare brand Olay did not have to go as far as producing an original song for their campaign to inspire people to create their user-generated content. With the #SpaDeOlay challenge on TikTok, the community was encouraged to upload their own skincare routines and spa day videos.
Aldo recently launched its first TikTok campaign with a dance challenge that features its new fall shoe collection. The #StepIntoLove challenge encourages the TikTok community to express themselves by dancing to the song "Roses (Imanbek Remix) by Saint Jhn. Viewers. They can go to Aldo's TikTok page and website to learn the moves for the dance challenge. Uploading the dance video with the Aldo campaign hashtag made them eligible to win $5000 last September.

Who could succeed Cora as Red Sox manager? (1:07)
Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy joins Golic and Wingo to present potential candidates for the Red Sox's managerial vacancy, after the team parted ways with Alex Cora. (1:07)

On Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox and skipper Alex Cora announced that they had "mutually agreed to part ways" following bombshell revelations from Major League Baseball's investigation into the Houston Astros' sign-stealing during the 2017 season, when Cora served as Houston's bench coach.
Just one year removed from Boston's win in the 2018 World Series, both the president of baseball operations -- Dave Dombrowski, who was fired during a disappointing 2019 season -- and the manager who helped lead the team to its ninth championship are gone.
Cora out as Red Sox manager following scandals
Why anger is boiling behind the scenes about Astros' sign-stealing punishments
The five biggest victims of the Astros' sign-stealing scandal
Where the Red Sox will look for their next skipper is unclear, with Dombrowski's replacement, Chaim Bloom, forced to kick off a managerial search a month before the start of spring training.
Guiding the 2020 Red Sox will be difficult. The speculation around Mookie Betts' future in a Red Sox uniform remains, with the star outfielder determined to test free agency after the season. Bloom himself enters his first year as the team's principle decision-maker, leaping from the small-market problems of Tampa Bay to the big-market problems of Boston. Plus, with Major League Baseball investigating the Red Sox for their alleged sign-stealing scheme under Cora during their title run, any new skipper will be asked to manage the PR storm certain to follow.
Although Bloom spoke highly of his former manager, Cora's departure allows Boston's new chief baseball officer to put his stamp on this Red Sox team and at least try to turn the page on one of the more volatile two-year stretches in recent team history.
Here are some candidates who could make Bloom's list.
Ron Roenicke, Red Sox bench coach: Roenicke is the easiest choice for the Red Sox to make. He spent the past two seasons as the team's bench coach and Cora's right-hand man, previously managing the Milwaukee Brewers from 2011 to 2015. The 63-year-old Roenicke is also the only coach on the Red Sox staff with major league managerial experience, and he brings more than 20 years of experience coaching in the bigs.

• Daily Podcast: Astros' Consequences
Matt Quatraro, Tampa Bay Rays bench coach: Quatraro finished as a finalist for both the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants managing jobs this offseason but lost out to Derek Shelton and Gabe Kapler, respectively. Quatraro previously worked with Bloom while with the Rays, with whom he started his post-playing career as a minor league hitting coach. He then worked as the Indians' assistant hitting coach from 2014 to 2017, before rejoining Tampa Bay as third-base coach in 2018 and later being promoted to bench coach. If Bloom wants to go with someone he has worked with before, Quatraro stands out.
Carlos Febles, Red Sox third-base coach: Febles has been with the organization since 2007 and has served as manager of the rookie ball Lowell Spinners, the low-A Greenville Drive, the high-A Salem Red Sox and the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs. Febles is well-liked by the players, has a lot of experience working in the Boston organization and is bilingual as a native of the Dominican Republic.
Tim Hyers, Red Sox hitting coach: Hyers enters his third season with the Red Sox coaching staff, having previously worked as an area scout for the team from 2009 to 2012 and as minor league hitting coordinator from 2013 through 2015 before working as the Los Angeles Dodgers' assistant hitting coach in 2016 and 2017. When Cora was hired before the 2018 season, Hyers rejoined the Red Sox organization as hitting coach.

Jason Varitek, Red Sox special assistant to the general manager: It seems like Red Sox Nation has long been counting down the days for Varitek, a former team captain and fan favorite, to return to the Fenway Park dugout as manager. The rumors have floated since Varitek retired in 2011, and he'd likely receive a lot of public support from fans.
Varitek became a regular presence at Fenway before the 2018 season, working as a catching coordinator alongside Chad Epperson, and he has been vocal about his managing dreams as of late. He is regularly seen in the Red Sox clubhouse before home games and has developed a more hands-on role with the team rather than pursuing more front-office duties.
Also worth noting: Bloom's manager in Tampa Bay was a former catcher with little managerial experience, Kevin Cash, who served as the Cleveland Indians' bullpen coach under Terry Francona for two seasons before becoming the Rays' skipper in 2015.
Dustin Pedroia, Red Sox second baseman: When Red Sox players are asked who might make the best manager one day, the most frequent answer is Pedroia, and it's easy to see why. Pedroia is noted for his high baseball IQ and his love of the game, but though he has barely played the past two seasons, totaling nine games in 2018 and 2019, the Red Sox star is still trying to rehab the left knee injury that has robbed him of his playing time. His ambition -- if not his ability -- to return to the field as a player would have to change for this to be a consideration.
Still, the trend of hiring inexperienced managers has continued the past few seasons, with notable success stories such as Cash, Aaron Boone, Craig Counsell and Rocco Baldelli. One notable supporter of Pedroia's potential as a manager? Dombrowski.
"He probably doesn't need much of an interview, really," Dombrowski told the Boston Herald in 2018. "He has the respect of all the other players, he has the leadership skills, he has the drive, he has passion for the game. So I could see him being a manager in the future, if he chooses to do that, I don't know if he wants to do that. I've never had that conversation with him, but players respect him and respect his knowledge."


The BBC has said that it will feature a clip of Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead on its chart show – but will not play the track in full.
The song, which was performed by Garland in the role of Dorothy in 1939 film The Wizard Of Oz, has been leaping up the charts since Baroness Thatcher died on Monday, in the wake of a Facebook campaign to get it to number one following her death.
As a result, the track is now poised to enter the top five on Sunday – but controversy has surrounded the possibility that Radio 1 may play the song in full on their chart show.
However a statement released by the corporation confirmed that only a short snippet of Ding Dong would feature on Sunday's show, together with a news report explaining its appearance in the countdown.
'The BBC finds this campaign distasteful but does not believe the record should be banned,' the statement said.
The decision comes after new director general Lord Hall – who also called the song's new-found success 'rather tasteless', admitted it was not up to him whether or not the song was played.
However some have voiced surprise that the BBC even considered broadcasting the track, with former Conservative party treasurer Lord McAlpine among those voicing objection.
'In the past, the corporation has always been careful about matters of taste on important occasions,' he said.
Meanwhile Sir Gerald Howarth MP said that Lord Hall was facing a 'serious test' and that the BBC had 'a duty to show good taste and decency'.
However not everybody opposed the possibility of the track being included in the chart rundown.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage was among those who insisted the BBC would make a 'huge huge mistake' in banning Ding Dong, despite branding the people behind the campaign to get it into the charts 'horrible and disgusting'.
MP Philip Davies also voiced cautious support, calling the campaign 'pathetic, small-minded and mean spirited' – but adding it was not up to the BBC to censor what was appearing in the charts that week.
Meanwhile the furore has not stopped Judy Garland's version of the song from continuing to soar up the chart.
As of Friday morning Ding Dong was number one in the UK iTunes chart – deposing previous champions Duke Dumont and A*M*E, who are currently number one in the singles chart.
If sales of the song continue to perform well, the track will become the shortest Top 10 single of all time, since the most popular version of it only lasts 51 seconds.
It could also become the only sub-60 second single to make it into the Top 10.

Evaluation of a vancomycin dosing nomogram in achieving high target trough concentrations in Taiwanese patients
Wuan Jin Leu, Yung Ching Liu, Hsiao Wei Wang, Hsiu Yu Chien, Hui Ping Liu, You Meei Lin
Background: The use of a vancomycin dosing nomogram is an alternative and more cost-effective method to conventional dosing; it reliably allows the achievement of trough vancomycin serum concentrations of 5-15. mg/l, with a successful clinical response. Recent guidelines have further recommended that the trough concentration be maintained at 15-20. mg/l for complicated infections. However, to date no published nomogram has been constructed to achieve the optimal trough of 15-20. mg/l in an Asian population. This study aimed to develop two vancomycin nomograms for the achievement of trough concentrations of 5-15. mg/l and 15-20. mg/l in the Taiwanese population, and to ensure the clinical efficacy and safety of such nomograms. Methods: The estimated concentrations and the real concentrations in our patient population were compared between six pharmacokinetic models to see which was the most precise. As the Ambrose method was the best at predicting the trough, this was used to create two nomograms, one for a target trough at 5-15. mg/l and the other for a target trough at 15-20. mg/l. We then evaluated the nomograms by analyzing the number of patients with the target vancomycin trough concentration, clinical and microbiological outcomes, and safety. Results: More patients who had dosing according to the nomogram had a vancomycin trough concentration within the desired target range than patients who had conventional dosing (65.1% vs. 32.1%, p = 0.001). These patients also had a higher rate of 'cure' as the clinical response (35.7% vs. 27.1%) and 'eradication' as the microbiological response (46.4% vs. 29.2%), and a lower rate of nephrotoxicity (14.3% vs. 22.9%). For the patients with a complicated infection, more had a trough between 15 and 20. mg/l when vancomycin was dosed with the nomogram than when dosed conventionally (41.2% vs. 12.1%, p = 0.019). Conclusions: We found that when dosing vancomycin with these nomograms, patients tended to have vancomycin trough concentrations within the target range and also to have a better outcome with regard to clinical efficacy and the safety profile.

Bangladesh commandos end hostage siege, kill six gunmen
Jul 2, 2016 3:33 PM PHT
As the Islamic State (ISIS) group claims responsibility for the attack at the start of the Eid holiday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina says she was determined to eradicate militancy in the mainly Muslim nation
DHAKA, Bangladesh – Bangladesh commandos ended a hostage siege Saturday, July 2, by storming a cafe where dozens of diners had been held captive by Islamist extremists and shot dead six of the heavily armed gunmen.
Officials said 13 hostages had been rescued after members of an elite force took control of the cafe in the capital Dhaka's upmarket Gulshan quarter but there was also an unknown number of civilian casualties.
Two police officers were killed at the start of the siege, which began on Friday night as they battled the hostage-takers who were heavily armed with automatic weapons and explosives.
As the Islamic State (ISIS) group claimed responsibility for the attack at the start of the Eid holiday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said she was determined to eradicate militancy in the mainly Muslim nation.
Hasina's government has previously blamed a string of deadly attacks on religious minorities and foreigners on her domestic opponents but the attack will heighten fears that ISIS's reach is spreading.
"I thank Allah that we're able to kill the terrorists," she said in a televised address. "It was an extremely heinous act. What kind of Muslims are these people?"
Tuhin Mohammad Masud, a commander of the elite Rapid Action Battalion which led the storming operation, said that six gunmen had been killed and the situation was now under control.
There was no official word on the number of hostages who had been killed or wounded, but Masud said that "obviously there have been casualties".
Some foreigners and Bangladeshis could be seen waiting outside the cafe after the siege, still awaiting news on their loved ones inside. Commandos could also be seen roaming nearby rooftops.
Witnesses said he could hear a massive gunfight as more than 100 commandos launched the rescue operation some 10 hours after the militants seized the hostages on Friday night.
Eight hostages including a foreigner were rescued in the first few minutes of the operation. TV footage showed ambulances rushing some of those who had been freed to a military hospital.
Sri Lanka's government said two of its nationals were among the hostages rescued and were safe and unharmed.
A Japanese government official said its Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had told Hasina in a phone call that several Japanese nationals may have been inside.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack on the Holey Artisan Bakery cafe in Gulshan, which is home to many embassies.
Police said the gunmen burst into the restaurant shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greater) as people were having dinner at around 9:20 pm and set off explosives.
Dodging bullets
"It was a horrendous night," said Diego Rossini, an Argentine chef who managed to escape through a terrace during the siege.
"They (the hostage-takers) had automatic weapons and bombs," he said on Argentinian TV as he described how he eventually managed to escape into the next-door building despite coming under fire.
"I felt bullets pass so close to me, I felt fear like I've never felt in my life."
Bangladesh has been reeling from a wave of murders of religious minorities and secular activists by suspected Islamist militants.
But those murders generally only involved a handful of assailants while the latest attack appears to have been on a much bigger scale and the first time that people were held hostage.
The ISIS-linked Amaq news agency said the group was behind the attack and later issued a number of photographs of what it said were scenes from inside the cafe.
The pictures, which were not immediately possible to verify, showed what appeared to be a number of bodies lying in pools of blood.
Fierce firefight
Heavily armed police and paramilitary guards cordoned off the area around the restaurant after the militants launched their attack and then became involved in a fierce firefight with police.
Police said that two officers, including the head of the local police station were killed. Hasina said that 30 officers were injured.
The attack, which comes as Bangladesh observes the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, follows a series of killings targeting religious minorities and foreigners.
Earlier Friday, a Hindu temple worker was hacked to death in western Bangladesh and a Hindu priest was stabbed and critically wounded early Saturday in the southwest of the country.
The government and police blame homegrown militants for the killings, which they say are part of a plot to destabilize the country.
Bangladesh's main Islamist party has been banned from contesting polls and most of its leaders have been arrested or else executed after recent trials over their role in the 1971 war of independence from Pakistan.
Hasina called on all Bangladeshis to "resist these terrorists".
"My government is determined to root out terrorism and militancy from Bangladesh," she added.
Last month authorities launched a nationwide crackdown on local jihadist groups, arresting more than 11,000 people, under pressure to act on the spate of killings.
But many rights groups allege the arrests were arbitrary or were a way to silence political opponents of the government. – Rappler.com

Q: Sum-regular $\{0,1\}$-matrices Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$ be a positive integer. We say that an $n\times n$-matrix $A$ with all entries in $\{0,1\}$ is $k$-regular for some $k\in \{0,\ldots,n\}$ if the sum of every row and the sum of every column of $A$ equals $k$. Let $M(n, k)$ be the number of $k$-regular $n\times n$-matrices with all entries in $\{0,1\}$.
It's easy to see that $M(n,1)=n!$. Moreover, a symmetry argument shows that $M(n,k) = M(n, n-k)$ for all $k\in \{0,\ldots,n\}$.
Question. Given $n>1$, is it true that for all $k\in\{0,\ldots, n\}$ we have $M(n,k)\leq M(n, \lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor)$?

A: I can prove a related result. Perhaps someone can
modify the proof to solve Dominic's problem.
I use multivariate notation such as $x^\alpha=x_1^{\alpha_1}\cdots
x_m^{\alpha_m}$, where $\alpha=(\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_m)$. Let
$\alpha\in \{0,1,2,\dots\}^m$ and $\beta\in\{0,1,2,\dots\}^n$. Let $f(\alpha,\beta)$ be the
number of $m\times n$ matrices with entries $0,1,2$,
and with each entry equal to 1 colored either red or blue, with row
sum vector $\alpha$ and column sum vector $\beta$.
Theorem.
   $$ f(\alpha,\beta) \leq f((n,n,\dots,n),(m,m,\dots,m)). $$
Proof. Let $g(\alpha,\beta)$ be the
number of $m\times n$ matrices with entries $-2,0,2$,
and with each entry equal to 0 colored either red or blue, with row
sum vector $\alpha$ and column sum vector $\beta$. By dividing each
entry of such a matrix by 2 and then adding 1, it is clear that
 $$ f(\alpha,\beta)=g\left(2\alpha-2(n,\dots,n),
    2\beta-2(m,\dots,m)\right). $$
Hence we want to show that
  $$ g(\alpha,\beta) \leq g((0,0,\dots,0),(0,0,\dots,0)). $$
We have for fixed $m,n$ that
  $$ \sum_{\alpha,\beta} g(\alpha,\beta)x^\alpha y^\beta =
      \prod_{r=1}^m\prod_{s=1}^n (x_r^{-1}y_s^{-1}+x_ry_s)^2. $$
Since for any integer $k$ we have $\int_0^{2\pi}e^{ikx}dx = 1$ if $k=
  0$ and otherwise is $0$, it follows that
  $$ g(\alpha,\beta) = \frac{1}{(2\pi)^{m+n}}
    \int_0^{2\pi}\cdots \int_0^{2\pi} e^{-i(\alpha_1 \theta_1+\cdots+
     \alpha_m\theta_m+\beta_1\psi_1+\cdots+\beta_n\psi_n)}\\
     \prod_{r=1}^m\prod_{s=1}^n (e^{-i(\theta_r+\psi_s)}
     +e^{i(\theta_r+\psi_s)})^2\,d\theta\,d\psi. $$
Now $(e^{-i(\theta_r+\psi_s)}+e^{i(\theta_r+\psi_s)})^2$ is a
nonnegative real number. Hence by the triangle inequality,
  \begin{eqnarray*} g(\alpha,\beta) & \leq &
      \frac{1}{(2\pi)^{m+n}}
    \int_0^{2\pi}\cdots \int_0^{2\pi}
     \prod_{r,s=1}^n (e^{-i(\theta_r+\psi_s)}
     +e^{i(\theta_r+\psi_s)})^2\,d\theta\,d\psi\\ & = &
     g((0,\dots,0),(0,\dots,0)).\ \Box \end{eqnarray*}

A: I'm pretty sure this is unknown, though it would be great if I'm wrong.
Asymptotically there is a function $A(n)$ such that $M(n,n/2+t)\sim  e^{-2t^2}A(n)$ for $t=o(n^{1/2})$, which follows from this paper of Canfield and McKay.
It is also known to be true for $n\le 20$.
To spell out the asymptotics a bit more, the paper cited above shows that
$$ M(n,k) = (e^{-1/2}+o(1)) \binom {n}{k}^{\!2n} \bigl( \lambda^\lambda(1-\lambda)^{1-\lambda}\bigr)^{n^2}, \qquad(*)$$
as $n\to\infty$, where $\lambda=k/n$ and $cn/\log n\le k\le n-cn/\log n$ for a particular constant $c$. The value $c=1/3$ will do. This expression without the error term is unimodal for $0\le k\le n$ and even with the error term it is unimodal if $n$ is large enough. The same formula holds for $k=o(n^{1/2})$ (McKay and Wang, 2003). A new method of Liebenau and Wormald will (I'm 100% confident) show that $(*)$ is also true for the intermediate ranges of $k$, but it is not published yet. Then we will know that $M(n,k)$ is unimodal in $k$ provided $n$ is large enough.
If we just want to know whether $M(n,k)\le M(n,\lfloor n/2\rfloor)$, as asked, and don't care about unimodality, then what remains asymptotically is to show that
$M(n,k)\lt M(n,\lfloor n/2\rfloor)$ for $k\le \frac13 n/\log n$. This follows from the pairing (configuration) model for random $k$-regular bipartite graphs; namely
$$ M(n,k) \le \frac{ (nk)! }{ (k!)^{2n} }.\qquad(\#)$$
For large $k$, $(\#)$ is a pretty terrible bound, but if I didn't miscalculate it is sufficient to prove that $M(n,k)\lt M(n,\lfloor n/2\rfloor)$ for $k\le \frac13 n/\log n$.
That completes the proof that $M(n,\lfloor n/2\rfloor)$ is the largest value if $n$ is large enough.

It is with mixed feelings that I provide this update for you: Colette Poindexter, our fabulous school nurse, is leaving us to pursue a Masters Degree in Nursing.
I certainly understand Nurse Poindexter's desire for an advanced degree, and I wish her all the best in this pursuit, but I also know that her presence will be greatly missed at Stoddert.
This week is Nurse Poindexter's last week as a DCPS school nurse. And actually, since we share her with another school, her last day at Stoddert will be Wednesday, November 30, 2016. We are working with the Department Of Health to find a replacement, and are hopeful that our days of sharing a nurse with another school will soon end, and we'll have a nurse at Stoddert five days per week.
I know that many of you share my feelings about Nurse Poindexter's departure. Please stop in to tell her in person how much you appreciate all of her good work on behalf of our students and families.
Anyone interested in staying in touch with Nurse Poindexter is welcome to "friend" her on Facebook (Her FB name is Colette Mitchell Poindexter). Also, you may stay in touch with her through her personal email.


The visitors' Info Points are points for servicing the visitors of the city. In important locations, like the airport Eleftherios Venizelos, the port of Piraeus and the pedestrian street of Dionysiou Areopagitou the kiosks of the City of Athens are there to provide information about the sites, the services and the activities in the city. At the Info Points, apart from informative printed materials, leaflets with suggestions and maps, also have souvenirs of the tourism organization of Athens.


While the cabbage is cooking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, about 45 seconds.
Whisk in the cream cheese and heavy whipping cream until smooth, about 1 minute. The sauce will start to form bubbles, continue whisking and reduce heat to low. Quickly stir in the shredded cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Turn off the heat and continue stirring until all the cheese is melted and the mixture is completely smooth about, about 1 minute. It will be about the thickness of melted Velveeta or queso.
Once the cabbage is tender, pour the cheese sauce into the skillet and fold into the ground beef mixture. Remove from heat and top with crumbled bacon, if desired.

Q: Web-to-Case creates record bypassing Validation Rule Scenario :
I am using Web-to-case to create case records.
I  have one Validation Rule which checks -
AND((Account.RecordType.DeveloperName = 'XYZ'),(RecordType.DeveloperName = 'ABC'))

But here is the interesting part --
Cases are getting created - who has RecordType.DeveloperName=ABC & Account.RecordType.DeveloperName=XYZ.
So, I think this is happening because of Order of execution -
Validation Rule --then --assignment rule
May be my Account record is getting assigned to Case after Validation Rule execution that is the reason Validation Rule is failing in 2nd condition --- and allowing to create Case.
Question:
1) What are all the possible ways to stop "Web-to-Case" from creating such a Case record.
2) Am I missing something ?
3) Any suggestions / help / corrections ?


Friend of mine does Karaoke DJing and is looking at using his laptop to play files in a format known as MP3+G (ie MP3 music but with video for the lyrics.
Clearly using a windows based laptop or similar would work, but he has aksed if I think he could use Linux as his software is not totally legit and he is worried about getting in bother for using it commercially.
Anyone know if there is a Linux based media player style application that might play this format?
What kind of file format is that. What's the name of the program he uses to play it?
The format is called MP3+G I believe - On Windows he uses http://www.tricerasoft.com/tyrannosoft/breeze.html to play this back but they don't appear to do a Linux version.
I am not sure if you can play these back with media player - i will check.
check xmms.org, they have a nice extensable player that might be able to include that. I assume mp3+g is a publicly defined format? If so that makes it easier to do.

Sorry for no tips the last two days. I had mentioned that I was away for the weekend and I ended up being out late the Saturday night. Woke up Sunday late and didn't have the chance to do tips.
Then on Monday I was swamped with work and the day went super fast – before I knew it it was 6pm and I had to get off the computer for the night.
Oh well nice to take a break after losing 1.5u over the last couple of days ha. Took a chance with Botafogo to win even though I admitted the safer bet was Botafogo or Draw and sure enough they drew 0-0. Hopefully some of you took the safe option there.
We then had Sao Paulo -1 over Vasco da Gama and unfortunately Sao Paulo only won 2-1. Finally in a bottom of the table clash we had Parana to beat Ceara. Parana had 21 shots to Cearas 5, with 7 on target to Cearas 1, 67% possession and almost double the passes and the end result? Parana lost 1-0. Welp. It happens.
This is an interesting one featuring Mikkelin Kissat vs MyPa.
In the league MyPa are on 24 points and MiKP are on 21. The goalscoring stats for MyPa are hilarious with 35 goals scored and 34 conceded. They can score the goals but they just can't defend them to save their lives.
MiKP are a pretty sturdy team at home. They played another high scoring team in the league recently – JaPS – and beat them 1-0 at home. For reference, JaPS thumped MyPa 7-1 away recently too.
MiPK have no problems scoring and they should have no problems against the MyPa defense.
I like MIPK to get a win here. I think their defense can hold up well as they have shown in the past and that they should be able to score against MyPa easily enough.
It could be I'm missing something but I've read through the previews as best as I can and am not sure why KA are big underdogs here.
They've been solid at home and looked like a good team. They have conceded just 4 goals in 7 games at home. Hafnarfjordur haven't been excellent on the road or anything. Hafnarfjordur are a better team but I don't know if they deserve to be such big favourites here.
Like I said I might be missing something but looking at the data, I think KA Akureyri are worth a bet here.

Q: Loop and insert more than one comma separated List in SQL I wish to loop through two comma-separated values and perform an insert
As an example lets consider two variables
Declare   @Qid= 1,4,6,7,8   @Answers = 4,4,3,2,3

set @pos = 0
set @len = 0

WHILE CHARINDEX(',', @Answers, @pos+1)>0
BEGIN
    set @len = CHARINDEX(',', @Answers, @pos+1) - @pos
    set @value = SUBSTRING(@Answers, @pos, @len)

insert into table values(@fdid,@Qid,@fusid, @value)  -- i need Qid also

set @pos = CHARINDEX(',', @Answers, @pos+@len) +1
END

Using this loop I am able to extract @Answers and can perform insert. But I wish to extract @Qid and insert inside the loop.
edit
for more clarity it is a feedback module. my result table have Qid and Answer field. Answers are ratings (1 to 5). The values we get in variables @Qid and @Answers are sequential. which means 1st answer will be for 1st question and so on.
edit
as per Shnugo's Answer
Declare @Qid varchar(100)= '1,4,6,7,8',   @Answers varchar(100)= '4,4,3,2,3'
DECLARE @tbl TABLE(ID INT IDENTITY, Questions VARCHAR(100),Answers VARCHAR(100));
INSERT INTO @tbl VALUES(@Qid,@Answers)

 INSERT INTO table(FeedbackId,QuestionId,FeedbackUserId,Answer)
 SELECT  1,
  A.qXml.value('(/x[sql:column("B.QuestionCount")])[1]','int') AS QuestionNumber,3
      ,A.aXml.value('(/x[sql:column("B.QuestionCount")])[1]','int') AS AnwerNumber
FROM @tbl t
CROSS APPLY(SELECT CAST('<x>' + REPLACE(@Qid,',','</x><x>') + '</x>' AS XML)
                  ,CAST('<x>' + REPLACE(@Answers,',','</x><x>') + '</x>' AS XML)) A(qXml,aXml)
CROSS APPLY(SELECT TOP(A.qXml.value('count(/x)','int')) ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM master..spt_values) B(QuestionCount)

A: If you use SQL Server 2016 or higher, you may try to use the next JSON-based approach to map questions and answers by their positions in the input strings. You need to transform the input strings into valid JSON arrays and then use OPENJSON() with default schema to parse the arrays. The result is a table, with columns key, value and type and the key column holds the index of the element in the specified array.
Note, that STRING_SPLIT() function does not guarantee the order of the rows and the output rows might be in any order.
Statement:
DECLARE @Qid nvarchar(max) = N'1,4,6,7,8'
DECLARE @Answers nvarchar(max) = N'4,4,3,2,3'

-- Build your INSERT statement as you expect
-- INSERT INTO Table ...
SELECT j1.[value] AS Qid, j2.[value] AS Answers
FROM OPENJSON(CONCAT(N'[', @Qid, N']')) j1
JOIN OPENJSON(CONCAT(N'[', @Answers, N']')) j2 ON j1.[key] = j2.[key]

Result from the SELECT statement:
Qid Answers
1   4
4   4
6   3
7   2
8   3

A: I'd prefer Zhorov's JSON answer (needs v2016+).
If you use a SQL-Server below 2016 you might use this position-safe XML-based solution:
A mockup table to simulate your issue with two different rows.
DECLARE @tbl TABLE(ID INT IDENTITY, Questions VARCHAR(100),Answers VARCHAR(100));
INSERT INTO @tbl VALUES('1,4,6,7,8','4,4,3,2,3')
                      ,('1,2,3','4,5,6');

--The query
SELECT t.*
      ,A.qXml.value('(/x[sql:column("B.QuestionCount")])[1]','int') AS QuestionNumber
      ,A.aXml.value('(/x[sql:column("B.QuestionCount")])[1]','int') AS AnwerNumber
FROM @tbl t
CROSS APPLY(SELECT CAST('<x>' + REPLACE(t.Questions,',','</x><x>') + '</x>' AS XML)
                  ,CAST('<x>' + REPLACE(t.Answers,',','</x><x>') + '</x>' AS XML)) A(qXml,aXml)
CROSS APPLY(SELECT TOP(A.qXml.value('count(/x)','int')) ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM master..spt_values) B(QuestionCount);

The idea in short:
We need a CROSS APPLY and some string methods to transform something like 1,2,3 to an xml like <x>1</x><x>2</x><x>3</x>.
Now we can use value() with XQuery count() to find the actual count of questions.
We need one more CROSS APPLY with a computed TOP() clause to get a set of running number from 1 to n with n=countOfQuestions. I do this against master..spt_values. This is just a well-filled standard table... We do not need the values, just any set to create the counter...
Finally we can use .value() in connection with sql:column() in order to fetch the question and the corresponding answer by their positions.
UPDATE: Non-tabular data
If you do not get these CSV parameters as a table you can use this:
Declare @Qid varchar(100)= '1,4,6,7,8',   @Answers varchar(100)= '4,4,3,2,3'

--INSERT INTO table(FeedbackId,QuestionId,FeedbackUserId,Answer)
SELECT  1
       ,A.qXml.value('(/x[sql:column("B.QuestionCount")])[1]','int') AS QuestionNumber
       ,3
       ,A.aXml.value('(/x[sql:column("B.QuestionCount")])[1]','int') AS AnwerNumber
FROM (SELECT CAST('<x>' + REPLACE(@Qid,',','</x><x>') + '</x>' AS XML)
            ,CAST('<x>' + REPLACE(@Answers,',','</x><x>') + '</x>' AS XML)) A(qXml,aXml)
CROSS APPLY(SELECT TOP(A.qXml.value('count(/x)','int')) ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM master..spt_values) B(QuestionCount);

A: You have not described relationship of question and its answers. I feel its one to one relationship and for that, I have given the answer.
declare @Qid varchar(200)= '1,4,6,7,8' , @Answers varchar(200) = '4,4,3,2,3'

;with cte
as(
    select id, data qid from dbo.Split (@qid, ',')
),
cte1 as
(
select id, data ansid from dbo.Split (@answers, ',')
)

--insert into tablename
select
qid, ansid from cte join cte1 on cte.id = cte1.id

Result will be:
qid ansid
1    4
4    4
6    3
7    2
8    3

.....Our Vacation at Vancouver Island's
This site has video clips! See the red text below.
Point-No-Point Resort is a unique retreat that is located about fifty miles north of Victoria on Vancouver Island's West Coast. The West Coast is on the Juan de Fuca Strait, and is a rugged and surprisingly remote region. Looking across the strait you can see glimpses of Olympic National Park in Washington.
The the property was purchased by a woman right after World War II. She first lived in a former WW II observation tower, but later built a home and several cabins. Point-No-Point has more than 40 acres of forest, trails and ocean front. It is near the coastal road, but the cabins are uniquely tucked into a cliff overlooking the Strait which gives a feeling of wilderness and solitude.

I f you look closely you can see one of the cabins on the cliff.
Click here for a 60 second video of the ocean at Point No Point.
Each cabin has a deck with a view of the ocean.
Click Here to see and hear the surf at PointNoPoint.
Trails wind through the property. Several trails lead to the beach.
There are many places to stop and view the ocean or just relax.
The beach at Point-No-Point is rugged and fascinating. At low tide the tidal pools are filled with crabs, sea urchins, star fish and more! We found more life here than any other place along the coast.
There are kitchens in the cabins, but there is a restaurant, too...
They serve great food at reasonable prices...
Save room for dessert! All the food was impressive, but the desserts were wonderful!
Ocean views are spectacular!

Wood is provided daily for an evening fire in the fireplace...
Point-No-Point is a place of peace and quiet. No phones, no TV, no internet...bring a book and your hiking shoes!
Authors note: We spend last summer in Iceland. We loved the beauty and ruggedness of that remote island. However, for a relaxing vacation, Vancouver Island is hard to match. We hope to return next year.

Apple apologizes for faulty MacBook keyboards yet again
By Mark Knapp published 27 March 19
New keyboard, new problems
Recent years have not been kind to Apple's MacBook keyboards, so much so that the company has apologized for them once again in comments to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
Apple made its MacBook laptops slimmer with a low-profile 'Butterfly' mechanism for keyboards as far back as 2015, but there were issues with key presses not registering and keys getting stuck, and the second generation of the mechanism seemed to make matters worse. As problems persist in Apple's third generation MacBook keyboards, another company spokesperson has publicly addressed the issues.
The spokesperson said to the WSJ that the company is "aware that a small number of users are having issues with their third-generation butterfly keyboard," and that the company is sorry.
But, the spokesperson also said, "the vast majority of Mac notebook customers are having a positive experience with the new keyboard."
Issue after issue
After Apple introduced the low-profile Butterfly mechanism for its MacBook keyboards in 2015, there was no shortage of reports on issues with them. The issues were enough that California filed a class action lawsuit against Apple, alleging that the company knew of the issues and released the products anyway.
The third generation of these Butterfly keyboards tried to solve the earlier issues with a membrane to keep out debris. But, as perhaps may not surprise anyone at this point, problems with the butterfly keyboards persist.
YouTuber Lewis Hilsenteger of the Unbox Therapy channel demonstrated the issue on a 2018 MacBook Air. And our own sister site LaptopMag has seen Butterfly keyboard issues as well.
Fortunately, for anyone suffering from an issue with the third-generation Butterfly keyboards, Apple's warranty should still cover your machine. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like the problems are going away soon.

The Dynaplug Micro Pro (aka Pill) is crafted for the scale of a puncture repair in a tubeless bicycle tire.
The reduced force needed to repair a bicycle tire resulted in this ergonomic, compact repair tool with extreme durability and efficiency.
This expands Dynaplug into the area of UST tires and tires converted from tube-type "bike rim and tire" with a Stan's Tubeless Conversion Kit.

Timothée Hal Chalamet was born and raised in Manhattan, to Nicole Flender, a real estate broker and dancer, and Marc Chalamet, a UNICEF editor. He is the brother of actress Pauline Chalamet, a nephew of director Rodman Flender, and a grandson of screenwriter Harold Flender. Timothée is of French (father) and Russian Jewish (mother) descent. He grew up in an artistic family, appearing in commercials and the New York theatre scene, and attending the LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, where his classmate and friend was actor Ansel Elgort (the two later received their first Golden Globe nominations in the same year, 2017). For a time, Timothée also attended Columbia University. He made his film debut in 2014, as a high school student in Jason Reitman's Men, Women & Children (2014) and Matthew McConaughey's character's teenage son in Interstellar (2014). He subsequently had sizable roles in several indie films, playing the younger version of writer Stephen Elliott in The Adderall Diaries (2015), the male lead, Zac, in the drama One and Two (2015), and Billy in the road trip drama Miss Stevens (2016). On stage, he has appeared in the plays The Talls, by Anna Kerrigan, and John Patrick Shanley's autobiographical Prodigal Son, while on television, he has had a minor role in the film Loving Leah (2009), a big part in Law & Order (1990), and meatier roles on the shows Royal Pains (2009) and Homeland (2011), among other work. He broke out in 2017, appearing in notable supporting roles, as a soldier in the western Hostiles (2017) and a high school crush of the title character in Lady Bird (2017), and in a leading role as Elio, an Italian Jewish seventeen year-old who romances his father's older assistant, played by Armie Hammer, in the Luca Guadagnino drama Call Me by Your Name (2017). Timothée's role as Elio has received significant critical acclaim, and he has thus far been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, Drama, as well as having won many critics' groups' awards for Best Actor of the Year. In 2018, he will star as Nic Sheff, who suffers from substance abuse problems, in the drama Beautiful Boy (2018); and headline Woody Allen's next comedy, A Rainy Day in New York (2018), with Selena Gomez.

Q: Pandas Timestamp vs. Series depending on index used? Can somebody explain why this happens:
In [286]: type(df.date.ix[0])
Out[286]: pandas.tslib.Timestamp

In [287]: type(df.date.ix[[0]])
Out[287]: pandas.core.series.Series

and
In [285]: df.date.ix[[0]]
Out[285]: 0   2015-11-03 14:57:27
          Name: date, dtype: datetime64[ns]

In [283]: df.date.ix[0]
Out[283]: Timestamp('2015-11-03 14:57:27')

I want to pull that specific element from my Pandas DataFrame as a datetime64[ns] type object. But it all depends on where my index is an ndarray or just an integer. If it's an ndarray, it returns a datetime64 object and if its an integer it returns a Timestamp object.

A: When you pass a list or array to Series.ix, pandas is assuming you want to slice out a subset of the series so it returns a series, even if it's just one element. If you pass in a scalar, it will assume you want just the value at that index.
You can see more examples at label based and positional based indexing in the docs.
To your second question, what happens if the ndarray has more than one element?

La fonderie royale de canons de Saint-Gervais est une ancienne fonderie qui a fondu ses premiers canons en 1678 pour le compte de la marine de Louis XIV et rachetée par Louis XV en 1731.

Les bâtiments, restaurés en 1843, sont situés sur le territoire de la commune de Saint-Gervais dans le département français de l'Isère.

Histoire
La fonderie de Saint-Gervais est connue pour avoir fondu les premiers canons de fer en France dès 1678. Elle est rachetée par le roi Louis XV en 1731 et devient ainsi la troisième fonderie de canons de la marine, après Ruelle et Indret.

Le caractère exceptionnel de cet établissement réside dans le fait qu'il est resté inchangé depuis sa restauration au milieu du . La naissance du canon rayé entraîna la fermeture de l'établissement en 1873. Le site est inscrit partiellement au titre des monuments historiques le 13 novembre 1986.

Le

Alimentée par les mines de fer de la région d'Allevard provenant sur le site par l'Isère depuis le port de Goncelin, la fonderie royale de canons de marine de Saint-Gervais est créée en 1679 par la présidente de Saint-André, marquise de Virieu et dame de Saint-Gervais, sur une initiative du ministre Jean-Baptiste Colbert conseillé par Samuel Dalliès de La Tour, receveur et trésorier général du Dauphiné, originaire de Montauban et animateur de la Compagnie des Indes. Ce dernier avait connu de nombreux échecs dans ses tentatives pour créer une fonderie pour les canons de la marine royale (Bourgogne - Franche-Comté - Nivernais).

Saint-Gervais sera sa réussite :

L'intérêt pour la marine de Louis XIV était de pouvoir bénéficier d'un armement moins cher que les canons traditionnels de marine en bronze et plus fiable.
Très rapidement un véritable consortium se met en place regroupant quelques familles dauphinoises "éclairées", souvent alliées : les Virieu, Prunier, Sautereau, Barral, Tencin et d'Herculais. Le bois nécessaire au charbon sera fourni par les forêts proches, dont la forêt des Ecouges, domaines appartenant au chapitre de Grenoble - protecteur de Daliès l'évêque de Grenoble, le futur cardinal Etienne Le Camus était un cousin de Colbert - et à la famille de Sassenage.
La première pierre de la fonderie est posée le .

Le
Le site de la fonderie emploie plus d'un centaine d'ouvriers et employés. La production numérique annuelle des canons de fer est toujours très élevée étant donné que chaque vaisseau porte beaucoup de canons et que ceux-ci ont une durée de vie assez courte. Voici la liste et le nombre des ouvriers telles qu'elle fut déclarée en 1706:

En 1731, la fonderie de canons devient la propriété du roi de France, et ce jusqu'en 1783. Le , le sieur Joseph Devoise , bourgeois de Grenoble, passe un marché d'une durée de douze ans, pour la fourniture de canons et de fers divers à Toulon. Liée aux commandes de l'État, soumise à de très nombreux changements d'entrepreneurs, la production est très irrégulière car souvent freinée par les pénuries de charbon de bois, issu du secteur forestier des Écouges.

Le

Le redémarrage de la fonderie de Saint-Gervais se fera au début du Premier Empire avec la remise à feu progressive des fourneaux. Repris directement par l'administration royale en 1731 et mis en sommeil à partir des années 1750, les hauts-fourneaux sont restaurés et reconstruits en 1805. Grâce au charbon de bois de la forêt des Ecouges, l'usine, qui emploie 200 ouvriers, produit alors 30 canons et 1 500 quintaux d'acier par mois, acheminés via l'Isère et le Rhône vers le port de Toulon.

En 1847, selon les informations fournies par l'administration du roi Louis-Philippe: La fonderie de Saint-Gervais, placée dans une position favorable pour alimenter l'arsenal de Toulon et dont la fabrication a été reconnue, depuis longtemps, d'une qualité supérieure à celle de l'artillerie, sortie des autres fonderies, a deux hauts fourneaux, deux fours à réverbères alimentés par les fontes d'Allevard et huit bancs à forer mis en mouvement par les eaux du ruisseau de la Drevenne.

En 1862, l'établissement recevra une commande de 250 canons de 36 livres se chargeant par la culasse, puis, deux ans plus tard, d'une dernière commande de 200 canons.

Le
À sa fermeture en 1865, l'ancienne fonderie appartenait à plusieurs propriétaires dont certains étaient ruinés. À la suite de plusieurs adjudication qui se succédèrent, les bâtiments devinrent la propriété de Jacques André Nicolet en 1912 qui fonde en juin 1919, la cartonnerie industrielle Nicolet. En 1985, c'est l'entreprise Depagne qui acquiert l'ancienne fonderie, et occupe toujours les locaux aujourd'hui.

Description
Inscrite dans un rectangle et située au bord de l'Isère, les bâtiments de la fonderie sont en pierre de taille de Rovon commune limitrophe et ornée de deux avant-corps et ont conservé quatre fours visibles.

Un étang artificiel rempli par un long canal d'amenée permettait d'alimenter quatre roues hydrauliques disparues. Il ne reste sur le site que la roue à aubes, les bâtiments de service et la conciergerie qui ont conservé les symétries de l'ordonnancement général ainsi que le bâtiment principal et sa charpente en bois.

Situation et accès
Le site de l'ancienne fonderie est positionné à proximité de l'Isère, impasse de la fonderie, au cœur du Port de Saint-Gervais, quartier détaché du reste de la commune de Saint-Gervais, laquelle est située (par la route), à  au sud-ouest de Grenoble et  au sud de Lyon.

L'ancienne route nationale 532 devenue la route départementale RD 1532 qui relie Saint-Péray (Ardèche) à Grenoble et l'A 49 qui relie Grenoble à Valence passent à proximité du site.
 de l'autoroute A49.
