Title: updated 07_shocks

didn't find any problems with 05_nc and 06_financials. here are my updates to 07_shocks.

1)
affected variables - shkLossTot, shkLossTotR
issue - should these just be top two ranked shocks instead of all of them?
action - none taken

2)
affected variables - tmpshk*
issue - unnecessary variable. used only for summation (and deleted) and it is already created with a different name in the line before (healthshk*)
action - removed and sum up healthshk* instead (Add one year (2012) to healthshk*)

3)
affected variables - finshk, finshkR
issue - financial shocks don't include the first three (health related) shocks - death of a main earner, loss of income due to illness or injury of household member, medical expenses due to illness or injury
action - added in shocks codes to variable generation

4)
affected variable - priceshkR
issue - leaves off shock (increase in prices of inputs) that is included in priceshk
action - added in shock code to variable generation

5)
affected variables - healthshkTot, healthshkRTot
issue - variables will be significantly undervalued compared to other *Tot and *RTot variables since value of loss is not gathered for death of a main earner and death or other than main earners in the family
action - none taken

6)
affected variables - goodcope*, badecope*, loancopeNGO*, loancopeMahajan*
issue - variable only looks at one of up to 3 listed coping mechanisms
action - included t1_08b and t1_08c in these variables

7)
affected variable - loancopeNGO*
issue - used coping code 9 ("took lean from mahajan/non-institutional source") rarther than 8 ("took from NGO/institution")
action - recoded variable to 8

8)
affected variable - edshkpos
issue - no shock coded 26 and code 7 (scholarship) was not included?
action - removed 26 and added 7

9)
affected variable - edshkTot
issue - only added 100 taka for basic education stipened if house received no secondary stipened
action -
old - replace edshkTot = 100 if edshkTot == 0 & inlist(t2_02, 9)
new - replace edshkTot = edshkTot+100 if t2_02==9 & t2_03==1
