ref: 2017, Lynda Clark, “Commander Shepard”, in Jaime Banks, Robert Mejia, Aubrie Adams, editors, 100 Greatest Video Game Characters, page 44:
text: Interestingly, this seems the reason why FemShep is considered to be one of the most popular heroines in gaming history (Cobbett 2012: online), or even one of gaming's first true feminist and feminine protagonists (Hillier 2011).
ref: 2018, Silvia Pettinni, “Gender in Game Localization: The Case of Mass Effect 3's FemShep”, in Irene Ranzato, Serenella Zanotti, editors, Linguistic and Cultural Representation in Audiovisual Translation, unnumbered page:
text: A reveal trailer for Mass Effect Legendary Edition went live several hours ago, and fans have been watching it over and over. As has Jennifer Hale, the voice actor who played the female version of Commander Shepard across all three games, or "FemShep" as the character was dubbed.
Though her performance made FemShep more popular with hardcore fans, the marketing for the original games tended to focus on the default "BroShep", voiced by Mark Meer. Until now. This trailer shows a montage of scenes from across the series, and while BroShep is there—that's him macking on Miranda—there's more screen-time devoted to FemShep.

text: While BroShep displays obliviousness to issues of "reproductive rights and control over the female body," FemShep expresses solidarity with the female Krogan, Eve, indicating there are some galactic power struggles only FemShep can truly understand.
ref: 2017, Lynda Clark, “Commander Shepard”, in Jaime Banks, Robert Mejia, Aubrie Adams, editors, 100 Greatest Video Game Characters, page 44:
text: There is little deviation between the FemShep and BroShep scripts for the romance with Liara, which positions Commander Shepard as an experienced soldier (and lover) pursuing the naïve, reticent academic.

ekeing
Language: English

Forms: form: ekeings
form: eking
Etymology: From eke (“(obsolete except Britain, dialectal) addition”) + -ing.
Senses: examples: text: The ekeing at the lower part of the supporter under the cat-head, is only to continue the shape and fashion of that part, being of no other purpose. We make this remark, because, if the supporter were stopt short without an ekeing, it would be better, as it causes the side to rot, and it commonly appears fair to the eye in but one direction. The Ekeing is also the piece of carved work under the lower part of the quarter-piece, at the aft part of the quarter-gallery.
ref: 1822, “EKEING”, in The Shipwright’s Vade-mecum: A Clear and Familiar Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Ship-building: […], 2nd corrected and improved edition, London: Printed for J[ohn] W[illiam] Norie and Co. (successors to the late W[illiam] Heather,) […], →OCLC, page 102:
text: In ships with square sterns, the application of the diagonal system of trusses does not produce its maximum effect, nor is the continuity of the shelf-pieces preserved, since the most abrupt termination of them takes place at the quarters, a difficulty entirely removed in the circular form by the happy introduction of the ekeing, and affording a perfect illustration of the term "internal hoop," so appropriately applied to them by Sir Robert Seppings.
ref: 1824 October, George Harvey, “Art. VI.—On the Circular Sterns of Ships of War.”, in David Brewster, editor, The Edinburgh Journal of Science, volume I, number II, Edinburgh: William Blackwood; London: T[homas] Cadell, →OCLC, page 240:
text: It has already been stated that the ekeing fills up the space between the foremost beam and the apron, and rests upon the fore end of the shelf. Consequently, as it forms a portion of the deck framing, it conforms to the sheer and round of the deck in question.
ref: 1874, Samuel J. P. Thearle, chapter XVI, in Naval Architecture: A Treatise on Laying Off and Building Wood, Iron, and Composite Ships (Collins’ Advanced Science Series), London; Glasgow: William Collins, Sons, & Company, →OCLC, paragraph 241 (To Trim an Ekeing), page 258:

ref: 1887, United States. Bureau of Foreign Commerce (1854-1903), United States. Department of State. Bureau of Statistics, Emigration and Immigration:
text: Marx himself declared that it was only with the technical basis of machinofacture for the production of further machines that capitalism created for itself a 'fitting technical foundation' (Marx, 1976, p. 376). This transition to machinofacture began early in the nineteenth century in several sectors but only by the middle of the century did it become firmly dominant over manufacture in the construction of machinery.
ref: 1985, Phil Blackburn, Rod Coombs, Kenneth Green, Technology, Economic Growth and the Labour Process, page 35:
text: Not quite, for it is a fact that the best-constructed system of automatic machinofacture, even if provided with a continuous supply of fuel and raw materials, would soon grind to a standstill without human attention.
ref: 2000, Tim Ingold, The Perception of the Environment, page 308:
text: First, because machinofacture is capital-intensivem, and because developing nations are cash-poor, capital moves in and out of developing countries with relatively little capture of the value-added beyond wages to labor; and despite defense of a machinofacture development strategy on the grounds of technology transfer, there is little evidence such transfers take place
