The difference between an adequate or even luxurious retirement and not having enough starts well before you’ve even considered slowing down.
Over half of the Baby Boomer generation are expected to live into their 90’s. A National Seniors research paper (April 2019) found that more than half of retirees worry about outliving their savings. 30% of those surveyed regretted not contributing more to super and another 30% said contributions weren’t possible at the time. The same survey also found those who had actively planned for retirement felt a greater sense of financial security.
Once you stop working, the only source of income you have is what comes from your retirement plan or the aged pension. Given the longevity risk retirees face, it’s critical to make sure that income suits your desired lifestyle and also lasts your lifetime. If you’ve never worked with a financial adviser, or you’re unsure about the advice from your current adviser, it’s important to understand how the experience and expertise of our specialists can make a huge difference to your retirement nest egg. | statistics |

The USDA estimates that 9% of participating SNAP households would lose eligibility, impacting approximately 3.1 million people’s access to food across the country. Seniors and working families would be disproportionately affected by this rule change, and 17.2 million households that remain eligible would have to undergo a more burdensome application process with their local county offices.
The rule would increase federal and state administrative costs by $2.3 billion, and increase inefficiencies in the roll-out of this vital nutrition assistance program. The estimated economic impact to the retail food economy is a loss of $9.4 billion dollars. Because SNAP is an economic multiplier these changes to the program would negatively impact GDP by $14 billion a year.
In West Virginia, where rural food retailers are already struggling under competitive pressures of a consolidating food industry the economic impacts will be severe. Over 25,000 people will lose access to SNAP benefits resulting in a net loss to the state of nearly $20 million a year. The table below estimates the impacts of the proposed rule change at the county level.

When creating a competition, you choose how many rounds the competition consists of. In practice, this is the number of evenings or days it takes. In addition, you indicate how many turns are shot per round (the number of shooting cards) and how many shots there are per turn.
It is assumed that all shooting cards have a count of 0 to 10, so that a maximum of 10 points can be achieved per shot. The maximum score per turn is therefore the number of shots * 10.
When choosing to classify, the highest 25% of the turns are counted with a minimum of 5 turns. The average of these turns is divided by the number of shots per turn, leaving an average score per shot between 0 and 10.
The number before the decimal point determines the main classification:
Table 1: main classification
|9 or 10||A|
If there are more than 50 participants, a sub-classification will follow based on the number after the decimal point:
Table 2: subclassification (50-100 participants)
|,5 to ,9||1|
|,0 to 0,4||2|
The classification can therefore end up at A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 etc.
If there are more than 100 participants, the sub-classification is as follows:
Table 3: subclassification (more than 100 participants)
|,7 to ,9||A|
|,4 to ,6||B|
|,0 to 0,3||C|
This results in classifications such as AA, AC, BA, BC, EC, etc.
Elsa competed with 58 other shooters in a 20-round pistol competition. There were 3 turns per round and 13 shots per turn.
In total that is 203 = 60 turns (scores). Of these, the highest 25% count, so 15 scores. A maximum of 1310 = 130 can be scored per turn (card).
Elsa’s average across 15 scores is 112. Divided by the number of shots per turn, this gives an average per shot of 112/13 = 8.6
Based on table 1, the main score is : B
Because there were more than 50 participants, a subclassification according to table 2 is also applied.
Elsa’s final ranking for this competition is therefore: B1 | statistics |

Vein disease, which includes spider veins (also called telangiectasias in medical terminology) and the larger varicose veins, is influenced by many factors including heredity, pregnancy, hormonal changes, excessive standing, weight gain and age. Vein disease is very common. Varicose veins, one of the more severe forms of vein disease, affects 8% of females by ages 20-29 and 72% of females by the time they reach the 60-69 year-old age group. 43% of males in the 60-69 year-old age group are also affected.
It is critical to determine if problems are being caused by malfunctioning valves at the greater saphenous vein junction (GSV junction) OR perforator/GSV junctions before starting treatment because this determination greatly affects the treatment modality recommended. A non-invasive Doppler Duplex study is done on all new VEININNOVATIONS patients and is included in the initial office visit fee. | statistics |

You want to run an AB test. How many participants do you need in your test?
As always, the answer is “it depends”. In this case, it depends on:
- What your base conversion rate is.
- How large of a difference you want to be able to detect.
- How concerned you are about Type I and Type II errors (false positives and false negatives)
There is no generic rule of thumb. Don’t trust any advice like “you want about 3,000 people in the test to be confident.” The correct sample size always depends on these 3 parameters for your specific test.
- The lower the base conversion rate the more participants you’re going to need
- To detect smaller differences you’re going to need more participants
- If you want to increase your confidence in your result, you guessed it, you’re going to need more participants.
How to calculate necessary sample size
If you know your base conversion rate and what size difference you wish to detect it is easy to calculate the necessary sample size using R.
> power.prop.test(p1=0.25, p2=0.275, power=0.8, alternative='two.sided', sig.level=0.05) Two-sample comparison of proportions power calculation n = 4861.202 p1 = 0.25 p2 = 0.275 sig.level = 0.05 power = 0.8 alternative = two.sided NOTE: n is number in *each* group
So, in an ideal world you would run all tests as follows:
- Track your base conversion rate For example, 25% of people who reach a registration page successfully register.
- Agree on the size of the difference we want to detect We may only care about detecting relative differences of 10% or more (27.5% or better conversion using the example above)
- Decide on the desired significance level. This is the chance of a false positive. It is common to use 0.05 (which represents a 5% chance of a false positive)
- Decide on the desired statistical power. This is the chance of a false negative. It is common to use 0.80 (which means that if there is a difference there is a 20% chance we’ll miss it)
- Calculate the necessary sample size as described above. Using these examples we would need to have 4862 people in each group.
- Run the test until you have enough participants in both your control and treatment Don’t look at the results while the test is running
- End the test
- Analyze the test
Unfortunately, that isn’t how it normally goes in the real world:
- We often don’t know what the baseline conversion is. Often times conversion rates for the control aren’t clearly tracked until you start the test. Sometimes, you’re unable to effecively baseline a conversion rate because it varies wildly. I have a little bit of experience dealing with optimizing ecommerce sites where inventory is only available for a limited time. The quality of inventory can have a large effect on the conversion rate, so it is very difficult to compare conversion rates across time.
- Most AB Testing software provides real time results which make it easy to fall victim to repeated significance testing errors.
To combat these pitfalls we can use the control as an approximation of the true base conversion rate. Then we can use that as the base conversion rate to figure out how much longer we will need to run a test to detect a difference of the size demonstrated.
I am not a statistician. If you want to learn more go read Noah Lorang’s post about calculating sample sizes and Evan Miller’s explanation of repeated significance testing errors.

According to Pew, 34% of U.S. adults now own a tablet computer. Count me in! Think -- iPads, Samsung Galaxy, Kindle Fire, and Nooks.
This research appears in the latest update from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
Therefore, the actual number of Americans acquiring tablets is amazing. Just one year ago, only 18% owned tablets, according to Pew. During May 2010, one short month after the release of the iPad, about 3% owned tablets.
Certain demographic groups are more likely to own tablets:
56% -- Adults in households earning at least $75,000 per year
49% -- Adults aged 35-44 (49%), compared to older adults
49% -- College graduates, compared to adults with less education
The personal computer tablet ownership is the second most popular mobile, e-reading device in the USA. Number 1 is the smartphone. | statistics |

Keywords:Staghorn stones, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, stone-free rate, surgery, hospital stay, complications, postoperative pain
Background: The treatment for staghorn stones is known as mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PNL), which is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Despite its shorter duration, reduced morbidity, and lower blood loss when compared to standard nephrolithotomy, it may offer similar results. This study aims to compare the safety and efficacy of mini-PNL versus conventional nephrolithotomy for the treatment of staghorn stones.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness (stone-free rate and complication rate) and safety (time to stone clearance, perioperative and postoperative morbidity, hospital stay, and blood loss) of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) in comparison to standard nephrolithotomy for the management of staghorn stones.
Study design: A randomized controlled trial
Duration and place of study: Department of Urology, Sahiwal Teaching Hospital, Sahiwal, from January 2021 to August 2021
Methodology: To determine the stone-free rate among patients with staghorn stones, we conducted a randomized controlled trial at the Department of Urology, Sahiwal Teaching Hospital, Sahiwal, from January 2021 to August 2021. The study spanned a total of two years. Seventy-five patients participated in the study and were divided into two groups for standard PCNL and mini-PCNL procedures. Patients were randomly assigned to one of these procedures, with 50% undergoing regular PCNL and the remaining 50% receiving mini-PCNL. Throughout the trial, we collected data on hospital stay durations, complications, and pain levels.
Result: This study comprised 75 patients with a mean age of 53.02 years (range 20-90 years). Men comprised 86% of the participants,
while women comprised 16%. Success rates for the mini-PCNL and normal PCNL were 91.2% and 96.8% (p=0.05). Additionally, the miniPCNL group had a significantly lower mean operation time (81.1 minutes) and a shorter mean hospital stay (3.3 days) ((p-0.001)) than the standard-PCNL group (104.2 minutes and 03.3 days, respectively). The complication rate for standard PCNL was more significant than for mini-PCNL (25% vs. 13%, p = 0.036). Further, there was significantly decreased postoperative pain in the mini-PCNL group (p-0.001).
Conclusion: Mini-PCNL proves to be an efficient and safe treatment option for staghorn stones, offering numerous advantages over the traditional Standard-PCNL method. It excels in minimizing postoperative pain, shortening hospital stays, and reducing operating room time when compared to standard PCNL. Consequently, mini-PCNL is emerging as the preferred approach for effectively managing staghorn stones.

It can be a set of unique digits (jackpot lotto), or a group with repeated digits (pick-4, pick-5, and other games).
The most common combinations are 1-2-3-4-5-6 and 1-2-4-8. However, if you’re looking for something a bit different, there are some other unusual combinations that are more likely to appear in lottery draws.
Combinations with only one or two numbers from a particular group tend to have lower probabilities than those with more numbers in the same group. That’s why it makes sense to pay attention to how the numbers are combined.
In order to get a better ratio of winning to losing, you should be aware of the numbers’ composition, and look at their frequency in previous lotteries. This can help you make more intelligent choices and reduce your risk of losing money. Using a combination of combinatorial and probability analysis is the best way to achieve this goal. | statistics |

Although the literature contains a vast collection of approximate functions for the normal distribution, they are very complicated, not very accurate, or valid for only a limited range. This paper proposes an enhanced approximate function. When comparing the proposed function to other approximations studied in the literature, it can be observed that the proposed logistic approximation has a simpler functional form and that it gives higher accuracy, with the maximum error of less than 0.00014 for the entire range. This is, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the lowest level of error reported in the literature. The proposed logistic approximate function may be appealing to researchers, practitioners and educators given its functional simplicity and mathematical accuracy.
The most important continuous probability distribution used in engineering and science is perhaps the normal distribution. The normal distribution reasonably describes many phenomena that occur in nature. In addition, errors in measurements are extremely well approximated with the normal distribution. In 1733, DeMoivre developed the mathematical equation of the normal curve it provided a basis on which much of the theory of inductive statistics is founded. The normal distribution is often referred to as the Gaussian distribution, in honor of Karl Friedrich Gauss, who also derived its equation from a study of error in repeated measurements of an unknown quantity. The normal distribution finds numerous applications as a limiting distribution. Under certain conditions, the normal distribution provides a good approximation to binomial and hypergeometric distributions. In addition, it appears that the limiting distribution of sample averages is normal. This provides a broad base for statistical inference that proves very valuable in estimation and hypothesis testing. If a random variable X is normally distributed with mean μ and variance σ2, its probability density function is defined as
Unfortunately, there is no closed-form solution available for the above integral, and the values are usually found from the tables of the cumulative normal distribution. From a practical point of view, however, the standard normal distribution table only provides the cumulative probabilities associated with certain discrete z-values. When the z-value of interest is not available from the table, which frequently happens, practitioners often guess its probability by means of a linear interpolation using two adjacent z-values, or rely on statistical software.
In order to rectify this practical inconvenience, a number of approximate functions for a cumulative normal distribution have been reported in the research community. The literature review indicates, however, that they are mathematically complicated, do not have much accuracy, and lack validity when the entire range of z-values is considered. In order to address these shortcomings, this paper develops a logistic approximate function for the cumulative normal distribution. The mathematical form of the proposed function is much simpler than the majority of other approximate functions studied in the literature. In fact, probabilities can be even obtained by using a calculator. Further, the accuracy of the proposed function is higher than with the other approximate functions.
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. In section 2, the existing literature on approximations to a cumulative normal distribution is discussed. Section 3 first discusses a logistic distribution and notes the similarities and differences between the logistic and normal distributions are noted. Section 3 then proposes the modified logistic approximate function by numerically identifying polynomial regression coefficients in such a way that the absolute maximum deviation between the cumulative distribution and the modified logistic function is minimized. Section 4 evaluates the accuracy of the proposed approximate function, and section 5 discusses and concludes about the results of this paper. | statistics |

For most, the release of the Consumer Price Index goes unnoticed. However, this allows the experts to predict the 2018 estate tax exemption and gift tax exclusion amounts.
According to Bloomberg BNA, the amount you can leave to heirs without facing federal estate tax is projected to increase from $5.49 million to $5.6 million. As a result, in 2018, a couple who are US citizens will be able to collectively transfer $11.2 million without incurring a federal estate tax.
The annual gift tax exclusion amount is projected to increase for the first time since 2013 from $14,000 for individual recipient to$15,000 per individual recipient for 2018.

While the emerging vendors captured 41.2 percent combined share of the market.
Chinese brand G’Five followed Nokia in terms of units shipped share and Korean handset manufacturer Samsung occupied the third position.
The study also showed a strong quarter on quarter growth in smartphone sales of 34.2 percent, and a year on year rise of 294.9 percent. This clearly underscores that India mobile handset buyers have started showing higher preference for smartphones.
Thanks to increased competition, the prices of the smartphones also dropped through the year. Over 80 percent of total smartphone sales were below the average sales value of Rs.18,000 in the second quarter of the year while this proportion increased to 90 percent in the third quarter.
‘The India mobile handsets market got even more crowded and fragmented in the lower- and mid-market segments with the further entry of new players offering innovative models at attractive price points to lure buyers,’ said Anirban Banerjee, associate vice president, research, IDC India.
‘The propensity to adopt feature phones and smartphones is greatest amongst the youth and business executive segments, whose purchase decisions are often driven by peer group influence and workplace usage patterns, as well as larger disposable incomes and willingness to experiment with new technology platforms,’ he added.
The study also showed that the android operating system (OS) based phones gained acceptance and 9.4 percent of the smartphones shipped were based on android as against 2.9 percent in the same period last year. During the same period even the number of models increased to 19 as compared to two models previously.
‘In the smartphone segment, an increasing number of vendors are displaying confidence in the android operating system, having grown from just one vendor in third quarter 2009 to as many as seven in third quarter 2010,’ said Naveen Mishra, lead analyst, mobile handsets research, IDC India. | statistics |

POTSDAM DOWNS CLARKSON
POTSDAM, N.Y.-The SUNY Potsdam men's basketball team (4-1) defeated Clarkson University (2-3) 90-75 on Friday night. The victory gives the Bears a sweep of all three North Country rivals for the second year in a row. Senior captains Jayquan Thomas (Hollis, N.Y./Richmond Hill) and Danny Delsol-Lowry (Queens, N.Y./Queens High School of Teaching) led the Bears with 26 and 17 points, respectively. Freshman center Tyrese Baptiste (Brooklyn, N.Y./Eagle Academy II) scored 14 points and grabbed 16 boards for his third double-double in four games.
The Bears opened the contest on a 10-5 run over the first 2:52. Delsol-Lowry scored the first seven points and Thomas drained a 3-pointer to cap the run. Clarkson led 5-4 on a Matt Higgins three, but Delsol-Lowry countered with one of his own and Potsdam never trailed again. Roburt Welch got the Golden Knights within 14-12 with another shot from behind the arc, but Bears pulled away with a 15-6 run and led 31-18 at 9:56. Thomas provided seven of the points and junior forward Dante Viskovich (Massena, N.Y./Massena) and sophomore guard Isaiah Joseph (Harlem, N.Y/Izquierdo Health & Science Center) each hit threes. Potsdam continued to build its lead as the first half wound down. The Bears outscored Clarkson 24-21 the rest of the half. A three from freshman guard Brian Pod (Oceanside, N.Y./Oceanside) with 49 seconds left extended the lead to 18 at 55-37 and after a final Clarkson bucket, Potsdam took a 55-39 advantage into the break. The Bears hit six of their seven 3-point attempts in the first 20 minutes.
Potsdam continued to roll in the second half, with the Golden Knights never getting within 11 points of the lead. Thomas led the charge with 14 points in the final 20 minutes alone. Baptiste added six points to his total. Two free throws from junior guard Colby Simpson (Queens, N.Y./Queens High School of Teaching) gave the Bears their largest lead of the contest at 90-70 with 1:48 to go. Clarkson scored the final five points, but had to settle with the 90-75 defeat.
Potsdam edged the Golden Knights in shooting, 47-percent to 46, and in rebounds 38-37.
Viskovich and freshman guard Isaac Oduro Jr. (Jamaica, N.Y./Christ the King) each finished with seven points.

According to the latest AvengerDAO report prepared by security firms CertiK, Hashdit, Ancilia, and Salus, the amount of crypto lost on the BNB Chain has broken a three-year rising trend, falling by 85% in 2023.
Losses on BNB in 2020
The report emphasizes that losses on the BNB Chain have been steadily increasing since 2020 and peaked in 2022. That year, the BNB Chain ecosystem recorded over $1.1 billion in stolen cryptocurrency. However, in 2023, the network saw its losses drop significantly to $161 million compared to 2022. The report also indicated that both hacks and scams on the BNB Chain showed a decline in terms of stolen funds. While there was a 91% decrease in the amount lost to hacks, scams saw a 54% reduction in 2023.
While the value stolen decreased, the report highlights an increase in both hack and scam attempts in 2023. There was a 96% yearly increase with 210 hacks observed, and a 14% increase in scam attempts in 2023 compared to 2022. A representative from the BNB chain core development team suggested that the reduction in lost funds on the BNB chain network could be attributed to rapid alerts created by the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to warn the community against potential bad actors. The company stated:
There was actually no decrease in hacking or scam attempts last year, so the reduction in losses on the BSC (BNB chain) can largely be linked to AvengerDAO’s rapid alerts aimed at minimizing the number of users involved in potential scams.
Warnings on BNB
BNB Chain team announced an increase in the number of “Red Alerts” used to warn community members about potential risks in 2023. The representative revealed that security firm Hashdit sent approximately 3,500 alerts through the Red Alarm tool, and 330 alerts were issued in 2023 alone. The representative also stated that AvengerDAO, created to protect the community from exploits, scams, and malicious actors, will continue to increase the number of partners it collaborates with. This could allow the DAO to continue improving the security of the ecosystem.

This continues a bounce-back which has seen prices recover by as much as 7.2 per cent since Tinsa’s national average bottomed out in 2015.
As ever, though, the national average conceals a good deal of variation from region to region and from province to province. The most dynamic regions in terms of market value increases over the last 12 months were Madrid, with a rise of 15.5 per cent, Navarra (12.1 per cent) and the Balearics (10.5 per cent), and in the cities of Madrid and Palma de Mallorca there were increases of 17 per cent and 14.7 per cent respectively.
At the other end of the scale there are minimal decreases reported in Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha and Galicia, but in most of the remaining Autonomous Communities the increase was close to the national average, and this was the case in the Region of Murcia. In the Costa Calida the average market price per square metre of residential property is reported to have been 932 euros after a year-on-year rise of 3.5 per cent, and within the regional capital the figure rose by 5.1 per cent to 1,060 euros.

But at the height of the Vietnam War in the early 1970s, 29 states began lowering their drinking age to more closely align with the newly reduced military enlistment and voting age. And of those 29 states, no uniformity in age limits, drinking ages varied from 18 to 20 and sometimes even varied based on the type of alcohol being consumed (e.g. 18 for beer, 20 for liquor).
The decrease in the drinking age brought about an increase in alcohol traffic fatalities and injuries. So much so that, by 1983, 16 states voluntarily raised their drinking age back to 21, a move that brought an immediate decrease in drinking and driving traffic fatalities incidents.
Some states, however, kept a lower drinking age. This created a patchwork of states with varied drinking ages that led to what was known as blood borders, because teens would drive across state lines, drink and then drive back home across state lines killing and injuring themselves and others.
It was around this time that the nation began taking a firm stance on the issue of drunk driving. Since it was apparent that a 21 drinking age law reduced alcohol related fatalities and injuries, there was a groundswell to help decrease drunk driving deaths and injuries by raising the minimum drinking age to 21. President Ronald Reagan responded to the growing evidence that a 21 drinking age law would save lives.
On July 17, 1984, President Reagan signed into law the Uniform Drinking Age Act mandating all states to adopt 21 as the legal drinking age within five years. By 1988, all states had set 21 as the minimum drinking age, which is where it should remain.
Since that time, the 21 minimum drinking age law has saved about 900 lives per year as estimated by the National Traffic Highway Administration (NHTSA). In short, there are more than 25,000 people alive today since all states adopted the law in 1988. That's about as many people in a sold-out crowd at a professional basketball game or a medium-sized U.S. college. | statistics |

Wie Rogge am Dienstag (13.10.2004) mitteilte, nahmen im August 2004 weltweit 3,9 Milliarden Menschen die Olympia-Übertragungen wahr. Vier Jahre zuvor hatten 3,6 Milliarden Zuschauer die Geschehnisse aus Sydney verfolgt.
Anlässlich einer Ansprache bei der 15. Ausgabe von "Sportel" einem Symposium für Fernseh-Sportanbieter, sagte Rogge: "Athen war ein neuer Meilenstein mit der größten Zuschauerzahl, Übertragungen von spektakulärer Qualität, einem vergrößteren Sende-Angebot, neuen Technologien und nicht zuletzt auch einer großen Zufriedenheit bei unseren TV-Lizenznehmern".
Nachstehend die Pressemeldung des IOC im englischen Wortlaut:
Global TV Viewing Of Athens 2004 Olympic Games Breaks Records
Speaking at the 15th edition of Sportel, the International Sports Television Convention, the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Jacques Rogge, today announced that the Athens 2004 Olympic Games global broadcast broke all records. During his address to the sports and television representatives gathered in Monaco, Rogge confirmed that with over 300 channels broadcasting the Olympic Games to 220 countries and territories, 35,000 hours of dedicated coverage (2000 per day), an increased number of 3.9 billion people (unduplicated) accessing the images of the Games, and a dramatic increase in live and prime-time coverage, this was the strongest Olympic broadcast ever.
The popularity of Athens 2004 broadcast reaches new levels:
(All figures come from the global research undertaken by Sports Marketing Surveys (SMS) on behalf of the IOC).
- 3.9 billion people (unduplicated) had access to the coverage of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, compared with 3.6 billion for Sydney 2000;
- 35,000 hours were dedicated to the Athens 2004 Olympic Games coverage, compared with 20,000 hours for Barcelona 1992, 25,000 hours for Atlanta 1996 and 29,600 hours for Sydney 2000, representing an increase of 27%;
- live coverage was boosted, with more than half of the global broadcasters showing 4,000 hours of live sports competition;
- prime-time coverage was up by 55% compared to Sydney;
- globally, every individual viewer watched over 12 hours of Olympic Games coverage;
- significant increases in coverage and viewer hours were recorded in Central and South America and Asia, despite unfavourable time zones;
- increased diversity of choice available to the viewer and broader sports coverage with a number of satellite and cable channels devoting their entire programming to Olympic coverage 24 hours a day;
- increase in the number of broadcast partners dedicating channels to Olympic coverage 24 hours per day;
- the Athens 2004 broadcast also saw several technological firsts, with broadcasters in certain countries making streaming video and highlight clips of the Olympic Games available through mobile phone handsets using 3G-technology, offering streaming video via the Internet or dedicated Olympic web sites. For the first time in summer Olympic history, the host broadcaster provided HDTV coverage.
In his speech, the IOC President noted: "Athens has set a new benchmark with the highest audience, images of spectacular quality, expanded coverage of sport, new technologies and, I am delighted to say, a high level of satisfaction amongst our rights-holding broadcast partners."
The IOC President also reiterated the principles for the IOC’s broadcasting strategy, saying: "The IOC has two key principles: first, to reach the widest possible audience, hence the emphasis we put on Free-to-Air broadcast; and second, to ensure an open, fair and transparent negotiation process. We hope these principles will ensure our continued success for future Olympic Games."
Viewing hours were up by 50% compared to Sydney 2000, with each European watching in average 14 hours of the Athens Games.
- Eurosport recorded its best ever Olympic Games, with over 350 million viewer hours.

- 203 million viewers (unduplicated) watched at least some of the Athens Games, the most for any Olympic Games held outside the USA. The 2004 total viewership beat Sydney by 14%. To put those figures in perspective, NBC’s Olympic coverage ranked as the top programme every night of the week during the Games. NBC’s decision to spread its coverage to its cable channels paid off, with CNBC, MSNBC, USA, Bravo and Telemundo attracting over 60 million additional viewers.

This is an increase of 1.1million people on the NHS Organ Donor Register in one year (2016-2017), and an increase of 4.9 million over the past five years.
As of October 2017, 734,366 people from Northern Ireland were on this register – roughly 40% of the population. Numbers on the register in Northern Ireland have been rising steadily since 2011 and the increase in numbers in that time is amongst the highest amongst the regions of the UK.
The number of people awaiting transplants greatly exceeds the number of available organs. We always encourage those who can to become registered organ donors.
There are many ways inwhich you can become an organ donor. Thease are –
- log on to https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/ , click the ‘Register’ button and complete the online form
- Call 0300 123 23 23
- Sign up when renewing your driving licence – 58% of registrations in the UK last year (2016 -2017) were through the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
In so doing you will join a group of over 734,000 willing donors in Northern Ireland.
Please remember, though, that as well as joining the register it is vitally important that you tell those closest to you that you wish to be an organ donor. | statistics |

Due to improving economy, more and more people can afford to travel and thankfully, millions of them chose Brisbane as their holiday destination last year. It is for this reason that hotels in Brisbane saw an increase in their bookings – as an apartment operator, this is certainly is music to my ears.
However, although the number of visitors who came to Brisbane for holiday and leisure increased, the number of business travellers has noticeable declined. According to Travel Queensland’s official figures, there were only 1,120,000 domestic business travellers last year. This is a 3.1% drop compared to data gathered the previous year. Because of this, hotels in Brisbane experienced drop when it came to business travellers. These people spent a total of 2,604,000 nights in the year ending September 2013. This is less than 11.3% compared in 2012. Also, the average length of stay dropped by 0.2% to 2.3 nights.
The same is observed when it comes to international visitors to Brisbane. Although holiday visitors increased by 9.9%, business visitors dropped by 9.3% to just 125,000. These visitors spent a total of 896,000 nights in Brisbane Hotels, which represent a stiff 11.9% drop. The length of stay also dropped by 0.2, down to 7.2 nights.
Brisbane still enjoys tourism boost
Having stated this, the number of business travellers shouldn’t be taken as an indication that Brisbane tourism is becoming gloomy. In fact, as mentioned, 2012-2013 is a great year for Brisbane and its economy. According to the same report, Brisbane welcomed 981,000 international visitors, which represents a 5.5% increase when compared last year. These visitors spent a total of $1,574.3 million. Also, this figure is slightly higher when compared to the state growth average of 4.4%.
Domestic travellers also increased and Brisbane welcomed 5,043,000 domestic visitors for the same period. This is a 4% increase and helped Brisbane economy as these visitors spent an average of 3 nights in Brisbane hotels or with friends and family. This shows that Australians were regaining confidence in terms of travel bookings after it was showed that the number of day trips have dropped while hotel bookings increased.

According to GamesIndustry.biz. The latest Harry Potter game comfortably took the number one spot on the charts, based on GfK data for physical sales. Of the copies sold, 82% were for the PS5 and 18% for the Xbox Series X. It’s worth noting that these figures don’t include digital sales, as Xbox’s digital share is usually higher due to the popularity of the digital-only Xbox Series S.
This marks the best-selling week for any Harry Potter game released to date, surpassing even the second week of sales for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The physical sales of Hogwarts Legacy were even 2% higher than the previous record, before taking digital sales into account.
Meanwhile, God of War Ragnarok held strong at number two, while Dead Space dropped to seventh place. | statistics |

STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture and Math
- Date: July 25, 2019, from 9 a.m.–4 p.m.
- Location: Chowan Community College, Freeland Building D, 241 W. Modlin Road, Ahoskie, NC 27910
- Registration due July 12. Contact Reba Green-Holley at 252-287-6991 or [email protected].
Employment and Income Opportunities
- Employment in STEM occupations grew much faster than employment in non-STEM occupations over the past decade (24 percent versus 4 percent respectively), and STEM occupations are projected to grow by 9 percent from 2014 to 2024, compared to 6 percent growth for non-STEM occupations.
- STEM workers command higher wages, earning 29 percent more than their non-STEM counterparts in 2015.
- STEM degree holders enjoy higher earnings, regardless of whether they work in STEM or non-STEM occupations. A STEM degree holder can expect an earnings premium of 12 percent over non-STEM degree holders, holding all other factors constant.
- There are a number of academic programs that can prepare you for a future in agriculture. These include agronomy, plant breeding, agri-business, agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, life sciences, forestry, and veterinary medicine, as well as specialty areas within these programs.
- Forestry occupations focus on the healthy growth and maintenance of woodlands and parks. This may include wildland fire oversight or suppression efforts. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 15,900 job openings for foresters and conservation scientists due to the need to replace workers who are retiring or leaving for other reasons.
More Diversity Needed
- Despite the value and importance of STEM skills, not all Americans have equal access to STEM education or are equally represented in STEM fields. Women, persons with disabilities, and three racial and ethnic groups—Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and American Indians or Alaska Natives—are significantly underrepresented in science and engineering education and employment.
- Although women make up half the population, they comprise less than 30 percent of the STEM workforce.

Overall, recycling is the most widely-used approach to treating hazardous waste in Korea, in
contrast to Sweden and the UK which rely mainly on landfills. Furthermore, the United Kingdom
employs a more varied set of waste handling schemes.
In Korea, the most significant share of dangerous waste (69%) is recycled. The second highest
proportion, 22%, is buried underground while less than half this figure is incinerated.
Sweden, on the other hand, favours landfills over the other two approaches since more than
half of all dangerous waste is buried underground. There is little difference between the shares
of recycling and burning, as the former accounts for 25% whereas the share of the latter is lower
by a margin of 5%.
The most popular method in the United Kingdom, like in Sweden, is burying which contributes
82%. The UK also dumps 8% of its waste at sea while treating a similar proportion with chemicals
to render it harmless. Incineration is responsible for a mere 2%. | statistics |

They are widely used in statistics, data analysis, and in a variety of real-world applications. They provide a quick and intuitive way to understand the relationship between two sets of data. Scatter plots consist of data points, where each point represents a different data value in the set. The position of the point on the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) axes represents its values in the two variables being compared.
The first part of our project will focus on understanding the theory behind scatter plots, their construction, and interpretation. We will delve into the concepts of positive, negative, and no correlation, as well as the idea of a line of best fit. A line of best fit is a straight line drawn through the data points that best represents the relationship between them.
In the second part, we will explore the real-world applications of scatter plots. We'll see how they are used in fields such as economics, social sciences, and even medicine to understand the relationship between two variables. For example, in medicine, scatter plots might be used to understand the correlation between the dosage of a drug and its effectiveness.
This project is designed to foster your understanding of scatter plots, their construction, and their real-world applications. It will also aim to develop your skills in data analysis, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
To begin this project, you'll need a strong foundation in basic algebra, as understanding the relationship between variables is key to understanding scatter plots. You'll also need a good grasp of geometry, as scatter plots are essentially a graphical representation of data.
Below, you'll find some resources that can help you kick-start your project:
Scatter Plots - Math is Fun: This resource provides an easy-to-understand guide to scatter plots, including their construction and interpretation.
Scatter Plots - Khan Academy: This resource provides more in-depth information about scatter plots and includes videos and practice exercises.
Real-world Applications of Scatter Plots - Study.com: This resource gives examples of how scatter plots are used in real-world situations.
Book: "Statistics: An Introduction" by De Veaux, Velleman, and Bock. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to statistics and includes a chapter on scatter plots.
Activity Title: Scatter Plots in the Real World
Objective of the Project:
The primary objective of this project is to deepen your understanding of scatter plots, their construction, and interpretation. You will also explore the real-world applications of scatter plots and develop your skills in data analysis, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
Detailed Description of the Project:
In this project, you will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge of scatter plots to real-world data sets. You will create scatter plots, analyze the correlation (or lack thereof) between variables, and develop a line of best fit.
You will then use this analysis to draw conclusions about the relationship between the variables and make predictions based on your scatter plot and line of best fit.
Finally, you will write a detailed report documenting your process, findings, and conclusions.
- A computer with internet access for data collection and analysis.
- Spreadsheet software (e.g., Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel) for data management and scatter plot creation.
- Notebooks and pens for brainstorming, planning, and documenting the project.
- A printer for printing the final report.
Detailed Step-by-Step for Carrying Out the Activity:
Form your Groups:
- Divide yourselves into groups of 3 to 5 students. Each group will work together on the project.
Choose a Real-World Theme:
- As a group, choose a real-world theme for your scatter plot. This could be anything from sports, entertainment, health, or the environment. Make sure you can find a data set that fits your chosen theme.
- Collect a data set that contains at least 20 data points relating to your chosen theme. The data set should have two variables that you can compare using a scatter plot.
- Ensure you understand the context of the data and how the variables relate to each other.
Create your Scatter Plot:
- Enter your data into a spreadsheet and create a scatter plot. Your data points should be clearly visible and labeled on the scatter plot.
Analyze and Interpret your Scatter Plot:
- Analyze your scatter plot. Is there a positive correlation (as one variable increases, so does the other), a negative correlation (as one variable increases, the other decreases), or no correlation?
- Discuss and interpret your findings as a group.
Develop a Line of Best Fit:
- Using your scatter plot, draw a line of best fit. This should be a line that goes through the middle of your data points and represents the general trend in the data.
- Use your line of best fit to make predictions about the relationship between the variables. For example, if the line of best fit has a positive slope, you might predict that as one variable increases, so does the other.
Write your Report:
- Finally, write a report detailing your process, findings, and conclusions. The report should follow the structure of Introduction, Development, Conclusions, and Used Bibliography.
At the end of the project, each group will submit a detailed report and a presentation.
The report should follow this structure:
Introduction: This section should provide context for your chosen theme, explain why it is important, and outline the objectives of your project.
Development: In this section, you should explain the theory behind scatter plots, their construction, and interpretation. Discuss the data set you chose and how you collected it. Detail the methodology you used to create your scatter plot and develop your line of best fit. Finally, present and discuss your findings.
Conclusion: Summarize your project, including your main findings and the conclusions you drew about the relationship between the variables in your data set.
Bibliography: Include all the sources you used for your research and to complete your project.
Your presentation should include:
- An overview of your chosen theme and data set.
- A discussion of your methodology and how you created your scatter plot and line of best fit.
- A presentation of your findings.
- A conclusion summarizing your project.
The report and presentation should complement each other, with the report providing more in-depth information and the presentation providing a visual overview of your project. | statistics |

Stock the rivers with steelhead trout and that guy will drop some serious cash trying to catch them. Ohio Sea Grant, an organization that looks out for the state's aquatic health, discovered that anglers looking to hook steelhead trout spent roughly $26 during each one-day trip within 10 miles of their fishing spot. The seven-month study, generated from interviews with 375 fishermen between October 2002 and April 2003, was conducted to determine whether the economic benefits of stocking local rivers with steelhead trout outweigh the cost. The average fisherman reported 44 excursions a year with 1.33 fish caught per trip, while 88 percent said they release what they hook. "Considering the average cost to stock steelhead is approximately $1.44 per fish, the benefits certainly outweigh the costs," observes Ohio Sea Grant district specialist Dave Kelch. | statistics |

“Marketers are slowly figuring out that what you say in TV affects what people do on Facebook, Google, Twitter and other digital platforms,” said Wilbur. “Historically, communication efforts have lived within separate silos. Today, some organizations are figuring out that these things need to be managed holistically.”
Researchers studied the relationship between television advertisements and internet search spikes in fantasy sports brands and pickup truck brands. In the fantasy sports brands study, researchers found that advertisement content and media factors explained an incremental 54 percent of the variation in post-ad search spikes.
In the pickup truck brands study, which analyzed brand search data from 500,000 minutes and audience data for 40,000 national television advertisements, 75 percent of the incremental search occurs in the two minutes following an advertisement.
Both studies showed that brand-focused ads produced larger search spikes than price-focused ads, and that less informative ads produced larger spikes than more informative ads. Spikes also varied based on the network on which the ad aired and the genre of programming.
Overall, the studies suggest that television advertisements with small audiences produce significant search spokes in the two minutes after the ad airs. As such, post-ad search spikes are important for marketers to consider in conjunction with other metrics.
“The field has shown great interest in the paper. I recently presented results at the Advertising Research Foundation annual conference, a Marketing Science Institute conference, Cornell and Berkeley. Next week I will give the talk at Emory and Google, and then at Kaiser Permanente in May. Google and Kaiser both are discussing the possibility of follow-up research,” said Wilbur. | statistics |

The past couple weeks have really encapsulated what has been a lively, unpredictable year for Netflix’s Top 10 list. Unlike the stable and fairly predictable TV show rankings, the year of 2021 has seen dozens of different movies (which are largely third-party projects) filter in and out of Netflix’s daily rankings each week.
Case in point: today we saw the sixth different movie already in March, Yes Day, claim the #1 position. And I’m guessing this trend will continue for the foreseeable future.
Which is great! Because the yearly rankings for the most popular movies on Netflix will be a much wilder and more varied list than they was last year.
Plus, there are plenty of big movies coming up this year, such as Joe Wright’s The Woman in the Window (which will make its Netflix debut on May 12) and Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead (May 21). Which means the 2021 Netflix rankings will see lots of movement in the near future.
But for now: which movies have been the most popular so far this year? While we don’t have exact statistics (because Netflix keeps such a tight grasp on its viewership numbers), we do have the Top 10 list—which is updated daily. Because of that, I was able to devise a points-based system that ranks each movie’s popularity on the Netflix platform over a longer period of time.
So, as of March 13, these are the 25 most popular movies on Netflix in 2021 (the bolded films are newcomers to this list):
There’s nothing new at the very top. We Can Be Heroes absolutely dominated Netflix for weeks on end. The Robert Rodriguez superhero film spent a record 66 consecutive days on the charts and currently ranks as the second-most popular movie on Netflix since the Top 10 rankings were initiated (Despicable Me has a slight lead at the moment).
Perhaps the most significant leap this week was I Care a Lot, which moved from fifth place to second. The Golden Globe-winning film (Rosamund Park won for Best Actress in a comedy or musical) has now spent 20 consecutive days on the charts—which is a streak most movies can’t reach. That run included seven straight days in the #1 position.
The biggest leaps over the past seven days came from Training Day, which jumped from 66th place last week all the way to 20th place today, and The Dark Knight, which moved from 63rd place to 18th place.
Other significant moves came from Bigfoot Family, which maneuvered from 21st place to sixth place, and Moxie, which went from 57th place to 19th place.
There were three casualties this week: Pinkfong & Baby Shark’s Space Adventure (which currently has 57 points), Red Dot (56 points) and Malcolm & Marie (56 points).
These rankings will continue to be updated weekly, so stay tuned next week to see which films have moved up and down the list. | statistics |

Moving average indicators are powerful tools that provide valuable insights into market trends, helping traders navigate the complexities of price fluctuations. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the various types of moving averages, their applications, and how you can leverage them for effective chart analysis.
Mastering Moving Average Indicators
1. Understanding Moving Averages:
A moving average is a statistical calculation that helps smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price over a specific time period. It’s used to identify trends and filter out short-term price fluctuations, offering a clearer picture of the stock’s direction.
2. Types of Moving Averages:
- Simple Moving Average (SMA): Calculated by adding up a set number of prices and then dividing by that number. Ideal for identifying general trends.
- Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Prioritizes recent prices, reacting more swiftly to market changes. Particularly useful for short-term traders.
3. Golden Cross and Death Cross:
The “Golden Cross” occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average, indicating a potential uptrend. Conversely, the “Death Cross” is when the short-term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average, signaling a possible downtrend.
4. Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD):
MACD combines two EMAs and a histogram to provide insights into trend strength and potential reversals. Traders use MACD crossovers and histogram patterns for decision-making.
5. Moving Averages and Support/Resistance:
Moving averages can act as dynamic support or resistance levels. When the price stays above a moving average, it may serve as a support level; conversely, when the price stays below, it could act as resistance.
6. Combining Moving Averages with Other Indicators:
To enhance accuracy, consider using moving averages alongside other indicators like Relative Strength Index (RSI), Bollinger Bands, and Fibonacci retracements.
7. Setting Time Periods:
The choice of time periods for your moving averages affects their sensitivity to price changes. Short-term periods (e.g., 10-day) are more responsive, while longer-term periods (e.g., 50-day) provide a broader perspective.
8. Avoiding Common Mistakes:
- Overcomplicating: Using too many moving averages can lead to confusion.
- Ignoring Trends: Always consider the overall market trend before making decisions.
- Not Considering Volatility: Adjust the time periods based on the stock’s volatility.
9. Practice and Backtesting:
Before deploying moving averages in live trading, practice on historical data and conduct thorough backtesting to assess their effectiveness.
10. Stay Updated and Adapt:
Markets evolve, so regularly review and adjust your moving average strategies to align with changing market conditions.
Moving average indicators are indispensable tools for stock market traders seeking a clearer understanding of market trends. By mastering different types of moving averages, understanding their applications, and combining them with other indicators, you can make more informed decisions and potentially improve your trading outcomes. Remember, practice, patience, and adaptability are key to effectively utilizing moving averages in your chart analysis strategy. | statistics |

The University of Arkansas – Fort Smith announced today a 6.8 percent spike in first-year entering students, bringing the total to 889 this year, up from 832 in the 2022-23 academic year. Transfer student enrollment also showed a positive trend with a 1.6 percent increase!
Overall enrollment at UAFS has also risen by 2.5 percent, up to 5514 from last year’s 5,379, a noteworthy achievement considering the “enrollment cliff” that threatens higher education institutions across the country.
“The University of Arkansas – Fort Smith has seen remarkable growth and engagement of new students this fall, almost completely rebounding to pre-COVID enrollment of first-year students,” said Chancellor Terisa Riley. “I can feel the enthusiasm of the students when they’re attending Cub Camp, moving into their residence halls, and attending events on campus. People are genuinely excited to be here this fall!”
Riley also noted significant increases in campus housing occupancy, up to more than 765 on-campus residents.
Blake Bedsole, director of admissions at UAFS, said, “I am extremely proud of our admissions team and their hard work this past year. Our staff have worked tirelessly to remove barriers to the application and enrollment processes and on refining our messaging to prospective students and their families concerning the value of a UAFS education and the individualized support that they will receive here.”
Bedsole also credits his team with implementing comprehensive recruiting strategies and forging a team of dedicated recruiters who ensure that students and their families feel confident that UAFS is a good fit from the first stages of their application journey.
Several academic programs at UAFS also experienced significant growth, including business administration, nursing, and computer science, programs that closely align with industry needs in the River Valley and throughout the state.

Business Types for Franchising
As far as what type of business can be franchised, there is great news. Franchising has expanded over the years from restaurants to a large segment of retail and services. Today, there are “bricks and mortar” systems in areas such as food, retail, automotive, business-to-businesses, pets, beauty and more. Home-based franchises provide “blue collar” and “white collar” services ranging from maintenance, cleaning and accounting to teaching, training and internet services. The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) website lists over 46 categories of franchise offerings in addition to an “Other” category!
There are some interesting facts surrounding the Canadian Franchise Market. Did you know that?:
- Canadian franchises sell over $100 billion worth of products and services every year, making Canada the second largest franchise market in the world (after the U.S.)
- There are over 1,000 franchise systems operating in Canada, representing almost 76,000 franchise system outlets
- More than 4,300 new franchise outlets open in Canada each year – every two hours, every day
- The average franchise fee is $25,000
- The average franchise investment in Canada is between $150,000 and $200,000
- A record 1.5 million Canadians are employed by franchise operations
- 92% of new franchises pass the critical first five years – a rate nearly four times higher than independent businesses
- 86% of the franchisees opened in Canada within the last five years are still under the same ownership
- In the restaurant sector, 35% of all sales are from franchise operations
- In the retail sector, 45% of all sales are from franchise operations
- The fastest growing demographic of franchise buyers is women
More and more manufacturers are using elements of the franchise business model to motivate their sales force/distribution network with the objective of creating a business format for people who worked solely on commission before. Of course there is a fine line between licensees, wholesalers and franchisees, but in some cases, this format is closer to franchising than other forms of distribution.
The bottom line is that franchising is now a worldwide industry with 17,500 franchise systems, 1.2 million franchisees and 12.5 million employees generating $1.4 trillion U.S. annually (Portman, Franchise Africa Symposium, 2002).
Is it worth considering Franchising as a growth strategy for businesses in Canada?
YES, provided of course that you meet the basic criteria. | statistics |

Park officials say that 2011 may be the second-busiest on record, as reported in the LeelanauNews.com article “Bullish Numbers at Bear Park.”
According to the article, the numbers are still coming in and Sleeping Bear Dunes has not reached “second-busiest year” status yet, but it is close. The year-to-date visitor count is 1,217,715 through the end of September, which is up 4.3 percent over 2010. The count is not close to the 1999 record of 1,364,834 visitors. The second-busiest year on record was 1988 when 1,317,530 came to visit the majestic dunes. There is a chance for beating the 1988 record this year.
Even with overall visitor numbers not breaking records, Deputy Superintendent Tom Ulrich says the number of visitors at the visitors center in Empire were up 61 percent from 2010. Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive and the Dune Climb also saw increases over last year of 67.5 percent.
Sleeping Bear Dunes Visitors Bureau reports the number of website visitors is also up from 2010. Early in the year the number of website visitors was only slightly higher in 2011, but then the numbers of visitors jumped 19% for May, June and July. The big spike came in August when there was an over 300% increase. September 2011 numbers are up 175% over 2010.
Leelanau County merchants are reporting a good fall season as well. Sally Guzowkoski, the president of the Leelanau Chamber of Commerce, says that traffic is up all over Leelanau County during the midweek as well as on the weekends. She is surpassed by the number of people coming in to the office midweek.
The exceptional numbers are attributed to the fabulously warm, dry and colorful fall season as well as the press the dunes received from ABC Good Morning America’s “Most Beautiful Place in America” win, the “Dr. Beach #1 rating for the Best Great Lakes Beach,” and the Food Network star Chef Mario Batali’s ABC News segment “Mario Batali on the Wonders of Sleeping Bear.” | statistics |

https://edairynews.com/en/dairy-exports-2022-strong/ | 2023-01-30T18:44:06 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499826.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20230130165437-20230130195437-00780.warc.gz | 0.950418 | 1,989 | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-06__0__136244219 | en | While U.S. dairy product export reports lag the calendar change to a new year, November data showed U.S. dairy exports will certainly set another record in 2022 and are prepared to keep on growing into 2023, according to a monthly market update from the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC).
Based on data summarized in the most recent U.S. Dairy Exporter Blog:
- Value basis: At just under $800 million, November 2022 sales were up 23% (+148 million) compared to the same month a year earlier, building on what already was an annual record set in October. The value of January-November 2022 U.S. dairy exports rose 25% to almost $8.88 billion.
- Volume basis: At 37,495 metric tons (MT), U.S. cheese exports extended their year-over-year growth streak to 17 straight months in November, a 13% increase over the previous year and easily a record for the month. In addition to increased cheddar, Gouda and other natural cheese sales, November also benefited from the continued rebound in U.S. grated cheese exports, predominantly mozzarella/pizza cheese. U.S. whey exports increased 17%, as a huge increase to China helped offset declines in other regions. Butter and lactose exports were strong; of the major product categories, only nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder and fluid milk/cream fell.
- Milk solids basis: November exports on a milk solids equivalent basis were up 9%, putting year-to-date exports up 4% for a total of 2.2 million MT milk solids equivalent. After a slow start, total U.S. dairy exports have exceeded 18% of production (milk solids basis) for most of the year and are likely to surpass last year’s record of 17.3%.
Export drivers, challenges
While much of the whey export growth early in the year was attributed to low-protein whey products, more recent growth has been in high-protein whey exports as U.S. inventories ballooned amid weaker domestic purchases that pushed U.S. manufacturers to look increasingly toward export markets. Corresponding with weaker domestic demand, prices also eased, helping boost foreign demand.
On the commodity side, Chinese whey imports have been on a rebound since late summer, driven by higher pork prices, which incentivized greater whey use in hog feed to accelerate production and growth. USDEC expects to see continued growth in Chinese whey demand into 2023, although lower pork prices in the second quarter of next year could cap volume growth.
In the cheese market, USDEC remains cautiously optimistic for the coming year. However, a rebound in European Union milk production, economic factors that support cheese analogue use in Latin America and potentially tighter U.S. exportable cheese supplies will likely lower the double-digit growth rate seen for much of 2022.
The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) said December Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) program-assisted export contracts covered 7 million pounds of American-type cheeses and 37,000 pounds of cream cheese. The products, contracted for shipment between December 2022 and June 2023, are equivalent to 65.2 million pounds of milk (milkfat basis).
With December’s contracts, 2022 CWT sales reached 99 million pounds of American-type cheese, 657,000 pounds of butter, 30.7 million pounds of whole milk powder and 8.8 million pounds of cream cheese, for a total milk equivalent for the year of 1.223 billion pounds (milkfat basis). CWT estimates are based on contracts for delivery, not completed export volumes.
Other dairy export highlights
- Separately, the Department of Commerce/Bureau of the Census estimated January-November 2022 U.S. dairy exports at $8.79 billion, up 25% from the same period a year earlier. Calendar year-to-date dairy imports were estimated at $4.78 billion, up 33%, with cheese imports up 5% at just under $1.44 billion.
- In the final days of 2022, the Senate confirmed two people to key U.S. trade positions. Confirmed were: Alexis Taylor, to the position of USDA’s undersecretary of trade and foreign agricultural affairs; and Doug McKalip, as chief agricultural negotiator in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR). Both received praise from USDEC and NMPF.
- The dairy trade relationship between the U.S. and Canadian governments is starting 2023 the same way it began a year earlier. In late December, USTR Katherine Tai requested new dispute settlement consultations with Canada over compliance of dairy obligations under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
- The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) awarded about $5.53 million to USDEC. The fiscal year 2023 dairy funding includes: $4.87 million through the Market Access Program (MAP), providing money for marketing and promotion activities, including market research, technical assistance and support for participation in trade fairs and exhibits; and $659,239 through the Foreign Market Development (FMD) Program, focusing on generic promotion of U.S. commodities, rather than consumer-oriented promotion of branded products.
U.S., global dairy heifer supplies tight
The latest monthly export report from USDA’s FAS estimated November sales of U.S. dairy heifers to foreign buyers at just 363 head as market weakness continues. The exports all stayed close to home, with 218 moving to Mexico and 145 to Canada. Year-to-date sales were estimated at 7,828, averaging 712 per month and now nearing the 15-year low set in 2007.
“I don’t see this situation changing,” said Tony Clayton, Clayton Agri-Marketing Inc., Jefferson City, Missouri.
The U.S. dairy heifer supply remains tight, not only those bred to dairy sires but also open heifers, said Clayton. Supply issues are becoming a worldwide challenge.
“In the past two weeks, we have had more inquiries for cattle than I think we have ever had in a short time period,” said Clayton, citing inquiries from Bangladesh, Egypt, Qatar, Mexico, Turkey, Pakistan, Vietnam and others. “I spoke with a group from Turkey that would like to import 2,000 head every other month. They informed me their European suppliers gave them the same story: There are no cattle available.
“Another party called trying to import 500 head to Libya, and their German supplier told them they could not supply this number,” he continued. “The world is in the same situation. We have made some offers to clients, but we tell them a certain percentage of the shipment will have to be heifers bred to beef bulls. Thus far, clients won’t consider and can’t believe we would even offer this, but this is a sign of the times with the impact of beef semen being used.”
Dairy embryo sales strong
In contrast to live animals, exports of dairy embryos jumped in November. At 2,648, it marked the highest monthly total of the year, narrowly surpassing shipments in January and August. China remained the largest market for U.S. dairy embryos during the month at 1,966. South Korea (266) and Pakistan (115) each purchased their first packages of dairy embryos for the year.
For the January-November period, dairy embryo exports totaled 15,553, easily the highest 11-month and annual totals in the past five years.
Hay exports remain slower
At 226,113 MT, November alfalfa hay exports picked up slightly from October but were still the third-lowest monthly total of the year.
Increased sales to Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Taiwan offset a 20,000 MT decline to China, where sales hit a six-month low. At 128,340 MT, sales to China represented 58% of all alfalfa hay exports in November.
Demand for other U.S. alfalfa products was mixed. At 4,118 MT, November exports of dehydrated alfalfa cubes rebounded slightly from a 13-year low in October. Exports of deyhydrated alfalfa meal came off a 37-month low at 1,771 MT.
Export volume for other hay hit a five-month high in November but remained well below historical levels. Foreign sales totaled 89,948 MT, up about 3,000 MT from the month before. At 55,830 MT, November sales to Japan were the highest since June and represented about 62% of the monthly total. Albeit a small increase, sales of other hay to South Korea were the highest in three months.

Ag trade balance
After turning in agricultural trade deficits every month, March through September 2022, the U.S. ag trade balance was positive for a second consecutive month in November. The U.S. Department of Commerce/Census Bureau estimated the value of agricultural exports at $17.5 billion and the value of ag imports at $16 billion, yielding a positive trade balance of over $1.4 billion for the month, the highest since December 2021. Nonetheless, the 2022 calendar year agricultural trade deficit stands at $3.2 billion. | statistics |

The research — 'Music Creators' Earnings In The Digital Era' — was published by the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO), and was based on data collected between 2014 and 2020, alongside figures from hundreds of musicians and producers engaged in study groups.
Findings include the fact that only artists regularly garnering more than 1million streams per month can be considered to make a living exclusively from online music platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. This equates to just 1,723 individuals or acts, 0.4% of UK artists.
As RA notes, culture writer and author of online industry guide Water & Music, Cherie Hu, posted to Twitter that for those hitting the pre-requisite number of plays needed to "make a living" this works out at an income of between £2,200 and £3,700 per month.
not only do just 0.4% of artists on DSPs generate this number of streams, BUT also the vast majority of these streams are going to major-label releases
so, the number of *independent/unsigned* artists who generate enough streams to sustain a living is much, much lower
— cheriehu.eth (@cheriehu42) September 28, 2021
She also notes that the "vast majority" of artists in the 0.4% are signed to major labels, meaning the percentage for independent acts will be far lower. Her estimates also suggest the number of individual names now sustaining themselves from streams is potentially five times what it was in 2014, but competition is much fiercer today, meaning the number of streams needed for that income is now significantly higher.
In July, the UK government Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) released its own report, The Economy of Streaming, using data going back to October 2020. It found the entire streaming model was in need of a "total reset", citing "pitiful returns" as a major concern. In 2019, DJ Mag published an in-depth feature on ways in which electronic producers can make money from digital music platforms. | statistics |

After years of a poor job economy, seeing growth in this area is a welcome change. The growth may come in an unexpected industry for some. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) released their annual report showing that the Renewable Energy Industry employs 7.7 million people. This is an 18% increase from last year with a total of 6.5 million jobs. The employment levels that the Renewable Energy sector is creating makes it a heavy hitter in the global job market. Solar leads the way in number of jobs but biofuels are quickly catching up. Waste to Energy Systems is proud to be part of the 822,000 jobs worldwide in biomass, proving that the industry is growing.
Where these jobs are located is an equally important aspect to consider. Through the years, there has been a growing shift toward Asian countries. This year, four of the top ten countries with largest amount of green jobs were Asian countries. China has maintained the lead for the past few years. This years they topped out at 3.4 million jobs, making up nearly half of the global green job industry. The second largest green job market may come as a surprise. Brazil beat out the U.S. with 934,000 jobs. The dominant green industry in Brazil is biofuels. They are heavy producers of ethanol and biodiesel with a growing focus on wind energy. The U.S. is the 3rd largest green job market in the world with 724,000 jobs, an increase of 16% from 2013. The largest growth occurred in the solar sector with biomass and biofuels increasing as well.
The information reported by IRENA should build confidence in our Renewable Energy future, both locally and globally. Companies like Waste to Energy Systems will continue to grow, creating more and more jobs as types of renewable technologies such as biomass downdraft gasification become a mainstay.

The poll showed 41 percent of American voters think Trump is the worst of the 13 presidents who have held the office since 1945. The same poll also shows Trump with a 38 percent approval rating.
Twenty-one percent of those surveyed said Barack Obama was the worst president since World War II, and 10 percent picked Richard Nixon.
Ronald Reagan is considered the best post-World War II president by 28 percent of respondents, according to the poll, followed by Barack Obama with 24 percent, and Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy with 10 percent each.
“In 73 years, 13 men have governed from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office and none of them have done so with less admiration from the American people” than Trump, said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
Trump ranks fifth on the list of best presidents since the end of World War II, the poll found, with 7 percent of voters.
Trump has frequently described his presidency in historical terms. He has touted the lowest black unemployment rate “in history” under his administration and said he signed the largest tax cut “in history” into law late last year.
He has also often said his administration accomplished more in its first several months than any president in history.
Trump’s approval rating, however, has generally hovered in the mid- and upper-30s, according to Quinnipiac University polls.
The results, according to Quinnipiac:
41 percent consider Trump the worst president since 1945.
21 percent say Barack Obama was the worst president.
10 percent say Richard Nixon was the worst president.
8 percent say Jimmy Carter was the worst president.
6 percent say George W. Bush was the worst president.
Barack Obama figures prominently in the list of best presidents, too, according to Quinnipiac’s findings:
28 percent say Reagan was the best president since 1945.
24 percent say Obama was the best president.
10 percent say John Kennedy and Bill Clinton were the best.
7 percent say Trump is the best president. | statistics |

Whereas the report concludes that, for the samples analysed, the health risk is “low”, it recommends that national authorities improve methods of evaluating the presence of multiple residues for over a quarter of the samples analysed.
The report is a long, highly detailed and informative read with charts and statistics, worth perusing. The devil is in the details, but the overall conclusion is:
95.9% of the 88,247 food samples fell within the legal limits.
– In 54.1%, residue levels were below the limit of quantification (LOQ), i.e. safe to consume, with pesticide readings so low they don’t need further quantification.
– 41.8% contained quantified residues at or below the maximum residue levels (MRLs), i.e. safe to consume.
However, there has been a steady rise in pesticides levels since 2015:
In 2015, 2.8% of samples were above the authorised level.
In 2016, 3.8% of samples were above the authorised level
In 2017, 4.1% of samples were above the authorised level.
What pesticides in which food?
Surprisingly, EU-non approved pesticides were found in samples grown in the EU. In some cases they exceeded the legal limits imposed on food from outside the EU. They were found in carrots (dieldrin, parathion-methyl, procymidone); onions (dicloran); oranges (fenthion, methidathion and profenofos); pears (permethrin); potatoes (clothianidin); dried beans (carbendazim); rice (carbendazim, permethrin and dichlorvos), and rye (permethrin).
Samples originating from non-EU countries registered pesticides levels above legally accepted limits: kiwis (methidathion); oranges (chlorfenapyr, methidathion and profenofos); dried beans (carbaryl and diazinon); rice (acephate, carbendazim, hexaconazole, methamidophos, and triazophos).
Baby foods getting safer.
94.6% of samples of baby food products showed residues below the LOQ.
5.4% of samples contained quantifiable residues at or above the LOQ.
This is an improvement on figures for 2016 when 89.8% of samples contained residues below the LOQ, and 10.2% contained quantifiable residues at or above the LOQ.
1.5% of the 2017 samples, all the same, exceeded the MRL of 0.01 mg/kg applicable for baby food. (1.9% in 2016).
Contrary to public perception, glyphosate levels were not high in most products. Glyphosate was analysed by 25 reporting countries.
Residues of glyphosate and persistent environmental contaminants were below the limit of quantification in baby food samples analysed (the same result for 2016).
- In 97.5% of products, glyphosate was below LOQ.
- 2% of products contained glyphosate above LOQ but below MRL rates.
- 2% exceeded MRL.
Glyphosate exceeded MRL in samples from Germany (7 samples of honey), Italy (1 sample of asparagus and 1 sample of rye), Poland (1 sample of buckwheat and 1 sample of pears), Austria (1 sample of honey), France (1 sample of rice) and 8 of unknown origin (5 samples of rye and 3samples of buckwheat).
The highest MRL exceedance rate for glyphosate was for dried lentils, followed by dried peas, then barley. See figure below.
France, Cyprus, Greece have the highest exceedance rates.
Among the reporting countries the highest MRL exceedance rates were found in food products from Cyprus, Greece and France: over 4% of samples were above MRL limits.
Malta however shows a decrease of non-compliant samples from 13.5% in 2016 to 2.4% in 2017. See below.
An eye should also be kept on imported products from outside EU.
Although several non-authorised pesticides were found in both EU and non-EU food products, 7.6% of samples taken from non-EU products were above authorised limits, as opposed to 2.6% in EU products.
The highest MRL exceedance rates (more than 10% of the samples) were reported for Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Madagascar, the Dominican Republic, Suriname, India, China, Thailand, Ethiopia, Jordan, Colombia and Kenya.
There will always be sceptics ready to criticise and discredit scientific studies, to point fingers at politicians and the agro food industry suspected of influencing results. But if we don’t believe the scientific measures we use, then who are we to believe? In scientific studies we must assume that there is a measure on which we will all agree, or we can have no truth at all. Otherwise what are we going to base our decisions on? Lobbies and political influencers? One can contest scientific measurements – which this Report has done, calling for more precise measurements of certain molecules from reporting countries – but if we don’t work on something until there’s a perfect measure, then we’re never going to advance in anything.

The dollar index, a measure of the greenback’s strength against a basket of currencies, declined to a three-year low following Fed chief Ben Bernanke’s remarks that the central bank would not scale back its support for the economic recovery any time soon.
“It looks very difficult to find a reason to sell gold right now, and technically we are targeting $1550. Bulls are very much in control of this market at the moment.”
US gold futures rose to a record high of $US1530.80 an ounce, before easing slightly to $US1528.10, up 0.7 per cent.
Spot gold matched the record high of $US1529.90 hit in the previous session. It had since trimmed gains to $US1527.29 an ounce, little changed from the previous close.
“Gold is still bullish, with the QE2 (second round of quantitative easing) to be completed on schedule and interest rates to stay low until at least end of the year,” said a Hong Kong-based dealer.
“Unless we see the job market turn around quickly, interest rates will stay low for a long time.”
On the data radar on Thursday is US gross domestic product. The forecast is that growth slowed to a 2 per cent annual rate or even less, according to a Reuters survey, after a 3.1 per cent fourth quarter pace.
US silver jumped as much as 6 per cent to $US48.75 an ounce earlier in the day, then softened to $US48.55. Spot silver rose by 1.6 per cent to $US48.52, extending gains made in the previous session.
It hit a 31-year high of $US49.31 on Monday. Holdings in the iShares Silver Trust , the world’s largest silver-backed exchange-traded fund, extended losses from the previous session, down 1.8 per cent to 11,053.20 tonnes.
Spot silver has gained 57 per cent so far this year, compared to gold’s 8 per cent ascent. The surging demand for physical silver, especially in Asian countries, has helped support its recent rally.

Hook, line and sinker. “Top Gun: Maverick” has toppled “Titanic” as the seventh-highest grossing film ever at the domestic box office, earning $662 million in ticket sales.
“Titanic,” one of the biggest success stories in box office history, earned a monumental $600.7 million in its original 1997 release and it has generated $659 million (not adjusted for inflation) with subsequent re-releases.
For Paramount, “Top Gun: Maverick” has also overtaken “Titanic” as the studio’s biggest film in its 110-year history. However, James Cameron’s disaster epic is still outpacing Tom Cruise’s fighter-jet adventure outside of North America with $1.5 billion at the international box office and $2.2 billion globally.
Impressively, “Top Gun: Maverick” has sold a similar number of tickets overseas as it has domestically, with the film’s international tally standing at $690 million. Without playing in China or Russia, the blockbuster follow-up to 1986’s “Top Gun” has grossed $1.352 billion worldwide to date. It’s the 13th-highest grossing movie globally.
Thanks to glowing word-of-mouth and repeat customers, “Top Gun: Maverick” is pulling in audiences in a way that would have been monumental even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, it’s close to reaching Marvel’s epic superhero mashup “Avengers: Infinity War,” which currently stands as the sixth-highest grossing domestic release ever with $678 million.
Beyond that, the list of the top five domestic releases ever consists of “Black Panther” ($700 million), “Avatar” ($760 million), “Spider-Man: No Way Home” ($804 million), “Avengers: Endgame” ($853 million) and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” ($936 million).
Since “Top Gun: Maverick” debuted in May and cleared a new Memorial Day weekend opening record with $160.5 million, it has remained a box office force. The film didn’t waver from the top five on weekend charts for ten weeks. “Maverick” is Cruise’s first movie to surpass $100 million in a single weekend and his first to reach $1 billion at the worldwide box office.
Joseph Kosinski directed the long-delayed “Top Gun: Maverick,” which picks up decades after the original and follows Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell as he trains a young group of aviators for a dangerous mission. The cast includes Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly and Val Kilmer, who played Iceman in the first “Top Gun.” | statistics |

It is frightening to read that The World Health Organisation ranks childhood obesity as one of the most serious global public health challenges of the 21st century! According to the Children’s Food Trust in February 2018, “on average across the UK, almost one-quarter of children are overweight or obese by the time they start school.
Obese children are at greater risk of conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and of heart disease and stroke as they get older. Obesity in childhood can contribute to behavioural and emotional difficulties like depression and reduce educational attainment. Obese children are more likely to need medical care and days off school as a result of illness.” | statistics |

Nearly three times more young men than young women are killed or injured on roads every year. Globally, 1.2 million people are killed on roads every year and up to 50 million more are injured and remain disabled for life.
Around 85% of deaths from road traffic crashes occur in developing countries, costing them between 1-1.5% of their annual GNP. Without action, and with the growing number of cars on the roads in thriving new middle-income countries like India and Brazil, road deaths and disabilities are likely to rise still further.
Through the eyes of road campaigner Harman Sidhu, who is himself a paraplegic after a road crash, this special Life program looks at the current situation in both countries - and reviews what positive steps are being taken to confront this serious health issue. | statistics |

The media, nutritional experts, physicians, coaches, and teachers continually champion the message on the necessity of healthy eating.
All studies detail the nutritional value of a salad.
The results showed that just eating one salad a day provides even greater health benefits than previously known. A recent study examined salad consumption by over 17,000 adults and found that those who ate salads and raw vegetables had considerably higher levels of vitamins C, E, B6, and folic acid. Additionally, with the ongoing attention to weight gain and obesity in America, many Americans look to low-fat and low-carbohydrate diet plans, further increasing the consumption of salads. Research statistics show that total vegetable consumption in 2000 was 23% above average annual vegetable consumption in the 1970’s.
More recently, Dole Fresh Vegetables performed an extensive 18-month research to determine American’s consumption of salad. The 2010 report showed surprisingly that many cities that were known for other foods such as Dallas, Houston, Boston, Philadelphia and New York had some of the highest salad consumption per capita. These are cities where steaks, BBQ, Philly Cheesesteak, and Clam Chowder are better known. The research proved that there is an ongoing desire for healthy options and that Americans, when giving the opportunity to make healthier choices, will choose this route.
In as much, many salad franchises have sprouted up throughout the US, many with strong financial success and have paved the way for a company such as Green is Better, Saladworks, Souper Salad and Salad Creations are three of the top salad franchises in the US, with Saladworks having over 100 locations, Salad Creations 55 (founded in 2003), and Souper Salad having 82 restaurants with annual revenue for 2008 at $202M.
In terms of eating out, with the change in the economy, Zagat has noted that the national average for weekly visits is now at 3.2 times a week. Concurrently, 41% of diners are more price-sensitive and 36% are eating in less pricey places. However, a solid 26% of diners indicated that the economy has had no affect on their dining habits. The Zagat survey also showed that 61% of diners around the country are willing to pay more for “green” products and menu items, an increase from the prior year. Subsequently, 69% of those surveyed also consider low-carb, low-fat, and heart-healthy menu items to be important.
In addition, a recent New America Diner study by Restaurant & Institution provided further insight into current restaurant dining trends. The report stated that over 60% of diners are focusing on price. Furthermore, 44.6% noted that price would be the deciding factor on dining out for breakfast, while 53.2% noted the same for lunch. Convenience is also of the uttermost priority in appealing to diners. Over 80% of consumers make weekday dining based primarily on convenience. In the study, convenience covered three areas that included location close to home or work, quick-dining experience, and easy to find/free parking. Nearly one-third (31.9%) of survey respondents say that on weekdays they always or often purchase lunch at a restaurant or fast food provider.
Business To Consumer Landscape
The US CDC issued a report in 2005 that discussed the vegetable consumption amongst adults. The results showed that the prevalence of eating vegetables three or more times per day was 22.1% among men and 32.2% among women, and it ranged from 20.9% among persons aged 18 to 24 years old to 33.7% among persons aged 65 years and older. Among racial/ethnic populations, whites had the highest prevalence (28.6%) of eating vegetables three or more times per day, and Hispanics had the lowest prevalence (20.4%). College graduates had the highest level of vegetable consumption (33.3%) compared with lower education levels, as did persons earning $50,000 per year or greater (30.3%) compared with those earning less. Persons who were not overweight or obese had the high- est prevalence of eating vegetables three or more times per day (28.9%), and overweight persons had the lowest prevalence (26.0%).
The company offers great support to its franchisees. Americans are seeking healthy options over the traditional fast food offering that a concept such as Green is Better is expected to perform well and meet all stated projections. Ultimately, the company provides a unique offering that will appeal to its target market. | statistics |

That is where an instance chart, also called a strip plot or a barcode plot, can be useful. This week we are building on a faceted strip plot made in 2023 week 35, and adding a median overlay.
- Obtain the Solution File from 2023 Week 35
- Retrieve the data from Wikipedia and data.world.
- Combine the data from the two sources in Power Query so that each country is associated with a continent.
- Remove columns that don’t contain the country, rank, or CPI value from 2020 – 2022.
- Unpivot the data so there is one column containing the year attribute and one column containing the CPI values from all years.
- Create a strip plot that contains one tick mark per row of data.
- The continent should be shown on the y-axis.
- The CPI value should be shown on the x-axis.
- The visual should be faceted (turned into small multiples) by year.
- A tooltip should show the country and the CPI value when you hover over a tick mark.
- Calculate the Median of each Faceted group using the analysis grammar of your choice (DAX or Vega-lite for example)
- Layer a line with points depicting the medians across categories
There are two data sources for this week.
- Corruption Perceptions Index table from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index#2020%E2%80%932022
- The Countries and Continents file on data.world: https://data.world/mlongoria/countriescontinents

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and it’s a poignant reminder that you can talk about it, today and every day. If you have concerns about someone’s well-being, you don’t need to be an expert, just a good listener.
Since World Suicide Prevention Day started back in 2013, it has grown into a global event, with the aim to raise awareness about preventing suicides. A recent report by Randstad which looks into the mental health statistics for the construction industry has found that the sector suffers from the highest number of suicides of any profession with 2 suicides a day.
Havio supported Mates in Mind earlier this year during the Mental Health Awareness Week and continues to do so. Mates in Mind focuses on providing mental health support to the construction sector and today have said “there is a need to focus on men in their late 40s who remain the highest-risk group by age”.
- 3 out of 5 employees experience mental health issues because of work
- An estimated 1 million people die of suicide every year
- Male workers within the construction industry are some of the most at risk (1.6 times higher than the national average)
- More than a quarter of construction employees have considered taking their own life
- 1 in every 7 workers knows a colleague who has taken their own life
- 45% of female workers have said their mental health was average to poor
- Deaths by suicide rose by 11.8% in the UK in 2018
- Men are 3 times more likely to die by suicide than women
- The rate of deaths among under 25s increased by 23.7%, reaching 730 deaths in 2018
In 2018, 1 million people across England were trained in basic mental health first aid skills, as part of the £15 million programme to improve resilience and help people recognise and respond effectively to signs of mental health problems in others. The campaign, which was designed and delivered by Public Health England, helped people to assess their own mental well-being and learn techniques to reduce stress and improve their emotional resilience, as well as improving the public’s knowledge, skills and confidence on mental health. Havio are lucky enough to have staff that have completed this training and hence have the capability to support clients and colleagues alike.
Earlier this year, Tom Tennant, one of our Construction Advisors, cycled from Reigate to Paris with 11 friends to raise money and awareness for PAPYRUS – Prevention of Young Suicide – they are still receiving donations today and have collectively raised over £15,000 for the charity.
Havio launched its NEW Mental Health Awareness e-Learning module earlier this year to coincide with the Mental Health Awareness Week also. The 45-minute module outlines strategies that help maintain good mental health and how to help others who are living with poor mental health.
We can all help to change the above statistics by acting immediately if you are worried about someone or spot any signs.

The use of the service has more than doubled from 2011 to 2019.
The law on the interpretation service of persons with disabilities is unique on a global scale. The law has enabled a nationwide interpretation service for people with hearing impairments, hearing impairments or speech impairments. The transfer of the service to Kela has promoted equality between customers: interpretation is organised in the same way, regardless of the place of residence and the municipality.
“Over the years, the service has been developed according to customers’ wishes and needs. One example is the personal interpreters lists introduced three years ago. They will now enable customers to better influence who interprets them,” says Sari Paloposki, Head of the Disabled Interpretation Centre.
The law also brought with it the right to interpretation on foreign travel. In 2019, the service was used by a total of 290 people on foreign trips. Of them, there were 140 people with hearing impairments, 82 people with speech impairments and 68 people with hearing impairments.
Service usage doubled from 2011 to 2019
Kela has been collecting statistics for the interpretation service since 2011. The statistics follow, for example, interpretation orders and hours spent.
In less than 10 years, the number of interpretation orders has doubled. In 2011, customers placed 88,000 orders, and nine years later, in 2019, they placed 174,000 orders.
The number of interpreting hours used has increased even more. In 2011, customers spent around 210,000 interpreting hours, and in 2019 the number of hours had increased to around 510,000.
The increase in use is also reflected in the costs. In 2011, the cost of the service was EUR 27.0 million Eur. In 2019, the cost of the service had increased by EUR 48.1 million Eur.
On the other hand, there have been no major changes in the number of users over the last 10 years.
A total of 5,900 people were entitled to the interpretation service at the end of 2019. Of these, 3,400 used the service for at least 1 hour a year. The majority of users of the service, 2,300 customers, are hearing impaired. There are 800 people with speech impairment and 270 people with hearing impairments. The number of people with speech impairments has increased the most.
The korona epidemic affected the use of the service in early 2020
From January 2020 to June, the use of the service decreased compared to early 2019. In the spring, many services and hobbies for which customers ordered interpretation services were paused due to the coronary epidemic. As a result, the number of interpreting orders and the interpreting hours used decreased.
From January 2020 to March, the use of the service was at the same level as in the previous year. However, from April to June, the number of orders decreased by about 30% compared to the previous year. There were about 32,000 interpreting orders, while 43,000 were orders a year earlier. Over the same period, the number of interpreting hours decreased by more than 50%. From April to June, the interpretation service was used only 60,000 hours, which is 70,000 hours less than in 2019.
In order to alleviate the situation of customers, Kela authorised producers to offer interpretation remotely. At the same time, Kela’s own remote service opening hours were expanded.
In early 2020, the cost of the interpreting service for people with disabilities was EUR 19.3 million Eur. During the same period, the costs were EUR 24.0 million Eur.

The gender pay gap has long been a hot topic amongst workers, campaigners and politicians alike.
Now the UK Government is attempting to plug the gap by launching new legislation which will require employers across the UK to publish the difference in pay between male and female employees in their workforces by April 2018.
Here are the details…
All private and voluntary sector employers in England, Wales and Scotland with 250 or more employees are now required to publish statutory calculations annually.
New Equality Act 2010 regulations came into force on 6 April 2017. The 2010 Act gives women and men the right to equal pay for equal work.
The move is part of an initiative to close the gender pay gap. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the UK’s gender pay gap for full-time employees in 2016 was 9.4%.
The information must be based on a ‘snapshot’ of a company’s pay bill on 5 April 2017 and must be published annually thereafter. The first reports must be published by 4 April 2018.
Employers must collect the following information and submit it to the Secretary of State via a government website.
- The difference between the mean hourly rate of pay for full-pay male and full-pay
- The difference between the median hourly rate for pay for full-pay male and
full-pay female employees
- The difference between the mean bonus pay paid to male relevant employees
and that paid to female employees
- The difference between the median bonus pay paid to male relevant
employees and that paid to female relevant employees
- The proportions of male and female relevant employees who were paid bonus
- The proportion of male and female full-pay relevant employees in the lower,
lower middle, upper middle and upper quartile pay band
The figures must also be published on the company’s own website.
Employees who are paid a reduced rate (e.g. maternity leave, sick leave) will be excluded to prevent skewing the figures.
Supporters of the law argue that companies who do not pay employees equally are likely to make vast improvements after the first set of figures are published, with the motivation of improving their figures before the next year.
But will it do enough to encourage employers to face up to any gender-based pay gaps they uncover? Some campaigners feel the measures are not strong enough, and worry the regulation may not be enforced. | statistics |
https://newsmakeralert.com/AQR2019-041119.html | 2019-04-19T00:52:42 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578526923.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20190419001419-20190419023419-00503.warc.gz | 0.937294 | 1,031 | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-18__0__28830256 | en | The AQR is a joint research project funded as part of faculty research activities at the W. Frank Barton School of Business at Wichita State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The 2019 AQR reflects data collected during the 2018 calendar year.
Key findings show that three of the four AQR factors tracked -- involuntary denied boardings, mishandled bags and customer complaints -- improved for the airline industry in 2018. On-time performance, the most heavily weighted element in the AQR, slipped in 2018.
This year’s report also reveals the lowest rate of bumped passengers, the lowest rate of mishandled baggage and the lowest rate of customer complaints for the industry since the AQR started in 1991.
Delta was the only airline to improve in all four categories. Six of the airlines rated performed better in 2018 versus their 2017 AQR scores. Those carriers were Delta, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit and United. Airlines whose scores declined in 2018 were Alaska, American and Frontier.
“These results are very needed by the traveling public, given all the recent reports of airlines losing the confidence of key consumers,” said Dr. Brent Bowen, AQR co-author and professor of aeronautical science at Embry-Riddle. “As the most respected and unbiased report on airline performance, travelers can be confident that our airlines are improving.”
“Overall, another good year of industry performance,” said Dr. Dean Headley, AQR co-author and emeritus professor of marketing at the W. Frank Barton School of Business at Wichita State University. “The best-ever industry AQR score for 2018 is largely due to improvements in the rate of involuntary denied boardings and the rate of customer complaints. Consumers have demanded better and the industry listened and improved.”
Inside this year’s rating
Below is the 2019 ranking of the nation’s largest nine airlines, according to the Airline Quality Rating, with the 2018 ranking in parentheses:
The merger of Alaska and Virgin America was completed in April of 2018. The results for Alaska reflect the performance of the merged airlines for the entire year.
An electronic version of the full report, with details on each airline, is available at AirlineQualityRating.com.
Four airlines improved their on-time arrival performance in 2018. Four of the nine airlines rated had an on-time arrival percentage of more than 80 percent. On-time performance for the industry in 2018 was 79.6 percent, compared to 80.2 percent in 2017.
Eight airlines improved their denied boardings rate in 2018. JetBlue recorded the largest improvement and Frontier had the largest increase in the rate of denied boardings. Delta (0.00), Hawaiian (0.01), JetBlue and United are clearly the industry leaders in avoiding denied boarding incidents. Industry performance was better in 2018 (0.14 per 10,000 passengers) than it was in 2017 (0.34).
The industry performance is the lowest rate of involuntary denied boardings since the AQR started in 1991.
Three airlines had improved mishandled baggage rates in 2018. The industry rate decreased from 2.46 per 1,000 passengers in 2017 to 2.43 in 2018.
The industry performance is the lowest rate of mishandled baggage since the AQR started in 1991.
Customer complaints per 100,000 passengers decreased from 1.35 in 2017 to 1.04 in 2018. The majority of complaints (72 percent) to the Department of Transportation were for flight problems (36.9 percent), baggage (13.0 percent), customer service (12.1 percent), and reservations, ticketing and boarding (10.1 percent).
The volume of complaints received by the DOT was down by 23% in 2018 compared to 2017 volumes.
about the Airline Quality Rating
No other study in the country is based on performance measures like the AQR. Criteria included in the report are screened to meet two basic elements: They must be readily obtainable from published data sources for each airline, and they must be important to consumers regarding airline quality. The resulting criteria include areas such as baggage handling, customer complaints, involuntary denied boardings and on-time arrivals.
The co-authors invite the flying public to participate in the Annual Passenger Survey at erau.libsurveys.com/airline-passenger-survey-2019.

Despite the fall in cryptocurrency prices, the turnover of trading floors increased in dollar terms. Although some redistribution of forces took place in the market.
To study the objective, the company Diar estimated turnover in dollar terms. As a result, it was found that the maximum increase in turnover was shown by the Kraken cryptocurrency trading floor, with a figure of 193%. The turnover on Bitfinex and Coinbase has slightly increased, by 21% and 50%, respectively.
Coinbase can be called a conditional outsider, where the increase was only 14.1%. At the same time, researchers note a high probability of a decline in indicators in 2019, which has several reasons:
Already, three major cryptoexchanges have announced a parallel launch of over-the-counter platforms. This is Coinbase, Bittrex, and Poloniex. As another Diar study showed earlier, it is it that attracts more institutional investors.
Significantly redistribution of forces occurred in the mining cryptocurrency. Here the Chinese giant, the manufacturer of ASICs Bitmain, lost its lead. ViaBTC pool created by him accounted for more than 53% of the network's hashrate. By the end of 2018, this figure fell to 39%.
In general, over the period, miners received a total income of about $ 5.8 billion. Moreover, $ 1.2 billion was mined only in January 2018, but in December the amount dropped to $ 210 million.
These figures indicate that the industry is going through difficult times. But at the same time, there are positive changes. Decentralization has increased, which allows us to stabilize the industry and even eliminate the theoretical probability of a 51% attack. | statistics |

According to the latest data from NHS Digital, the national information and technology partner for the health and care system, 9% of 11 to 15-year-olds are currently using e-cigarettes, up from 6% in 2018. This alarming rise has raised concerns among health professionals and policymakers.
The Changing Landscape of E-Cigarette Usage
The Smoking, Drinking, and Drug Use among Young People in England, 2021 report shed light on the changing landscape of e-cigarette usage among school children. It revealed that over half (57%) of regular e-cigarette users purchase them from shops. In 2018, only 29% of users bought e-cigarettes from shops, indicating a substantial increase in this trend.
The Most Common Sources of E-Cigarettes
According to the report, friends were the most common source of e-cigarettes for regular users, with 45% of users reporting that they received e-cigarettes from friends. This highlights the role of social circles in influencing young individuals to engage in vaping. Other sources included:
- Newsagents: 41% of e-cigarette users purchased them from newsagents, making it the most common type of shop for such transactions.
- E-Cigarette Shops: 27% of users bought their e-cigarettes from dedicated e-cigarette shops.
- Supermarkets: 13% of users obtained e-cigarettes from supermarkets.
- Garage Shops: 10% of users made their purchases from garage shops.
- Other Shops: Another 10% of users reported buying e-cigarettes from various other types of shops.
Surprisingly, only a quarter of e-cigarettes were bought online, indicating that physical stores remain the primary avenue for school children to access these products.
Decline in Cigarette Smoking Among School Children
While the rise in e-cigarette usage is a cause for concern, there is a silver lining in the report. It revealed a decline in cigarette smoking among school children. In 2018, 5% of pupils claimed to be current smokers, but that number has decreased to 3% in recent years. This decline can be attributed to various anti-smoking campaigns and stricter regulations on tobacco sales.
The Growing Trend of Dual Users
One noteworthy finding from the report is the significant increase in the number of regular smokers who also use e-cigarettes. In 2018, only 29% of regular smokers were regular e-cigarette users. However, this number has more than doubled to 61% in 2021. This suggests that some smokers may be turning to e-cigarettes as a potential harm reduction tool.
The Impact on 15-Year-Old Girls
The report also highlighted a concerning trend among 15-year-old girls. In 2018, 10% of 15-year-old girls reported current e-cigarette use, but this figure has now risen to 21%, which means approximately one in five 15-year-old girls are currently using e-cigarettes. This significant increase warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to address this specific demographic.
Physical Stores: A Haven for Illicit E-Cigarette Sales
Recent research from age verification solution provider 1account revealed an interesting insight. Children and young people who engage in the illegal purchase of disposable vapes are more likely to do so in physical brick and mortar stores rather than online. This emphasizes the need for stricter enforcement of age restrictions and regulations in physical retail environments. | statistics |

According to figures released by the Scottish government last week, 36,465 people made homelessness applications in Scotland in 2018/19.
This was an increase of 892 people (3%) on 2017/18 and was the second year running that the number of applications had risen, following nine years of reductions.
The biggest increase by number over the year was in Glasgow, where the number of applications rose by 428. However, this was an 8% increase, which was lower than in Fife (10%), North Lanarkshire (11%) and East Ayrshire (29%).
During 2018/19, 3,535 people who applied as homeless were not offered temporary accommodation and the Scottish government says the councils that refused them were “acting unlawfully”.
Of those refused accommodation, 95% were in Glasgow, despite the city having just 16% of Scotland’s homeless population. Glasgow also made up 95% of the 3,200 refusals in 2017/18.
Housing minister Kevin Stewart blamed the overall rise in homelessness on welfare cuts by the UK government, saying the Scottish government is spending more than £125m this year to mitigate the worst effects.
He added: “Local authorities have a statutory duty to provide temporary accommodation. We are concerned to understand why the data suggests that this is not always happening.
“The data highlights a particular issue in Glasgow and I have agreed with Glasgow City Council that a voluntary review would be led by the Scottish Government in partnership with the council to tackle this issue.”
Mhairi Hunter, city convenor for health and social care at Glasgow City Council, said: “Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership officials have volunteered to work with the Scottish government to review the data and methods of recording it, to ensure there is consistency across the country.
“It appears that Glasgow is currently taking a significantly broader and more comprehensive approach to data collection than other local authorities.”
Commenting on the homelessness figures in general, Scottish Labour’s housing spokesperson Pauline McNeill said: “It took the SNP more than 10 years to focus on homelessness and as yet, their plans are having little impact on people at the sharp end of poverty.
“We need to see more investment in social housing, frontline services and prevention made a top priority as a matter of urgency but we also need investment in housing more widely.” | statistics |

Prior work has reported that brain functional networks can be utilized to differentiate healthy subjects and patients with mental disorder. Group independent component analysis (GICA) is a widely-used data-driven method for extracting brain functional networks from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data of multiple subjects. GICA approaches estimate the group-level independent components first, then back-reconstruct the subject-specific networks and their associated time courses based on the group-level independent components. To estimate the subject-specific networks, previous studies have employed PCA-based, regression-based (e.g. dual regression or spatio-temporal regression (STR)) and group information guided ICA (GIG-ICA) methods, among which dual regression and GIG-ICA can be used to yield the subject-specific networks for additional subjects. However, it is largely unknown which GICA method is more sensitive to subtle group differences between controls and patients. This paper aims to evaluate the efficacy of identifying biomarkers from the subject-specific networks and time courses estimated from STR and GIG-ICA using fMRI data of healthy controls (HCs) and schizophrenia patients (SZs). Regarding the measures from functional network maps, GIG-ICA revealed markedly greater differences between HCs and SZs than STR. Furthermore, the interaction among networks (i.e. functional network connectivity) also showed more group differences using GIG-ICA method, compared to STR. In summary, our work suggests that while both methods provide similar overall conclusions, GIG-ICA, which estimates individually tuned components based on higher order statistics is more sensitive to group differences and biomarker detection than STR. | statistics |

This year’s edition introduces an updated threshold for estimating gender parity in earned income, adjusting the income level cap to better reflect contemporary costs of living and bringing the Index in line with the latest thinking and methodology of statistical reports by the United Nations and others. A detailed discussion of this adjustment is provided in Appendix D.
Three underlying concepts
There are three basic concepts underlying the Global Gender Gap Index, forming the basis of how indicators were chosen, how the data is treated and the scale used. First, the Index focuses on measuring gaps rather than levels. Second, it captures gaps in outcome variables rather than gaps in input variables. Third, it ranks countries according to gender equality rather than women’s empowerment. These three concepts are briefly outlined below. For a description of how these concepts are captured by the construction techniques used in the creation of the Index, please see the Construction of the Index section below.
Gaps vs. levels
The Index is designed to measure gender-based gaps in access to resources and opportunities in countries rather than the actual levels of the available resources and opportunities in those countries. We do this to disassociate the Global Gender Gap Index from countries’ levels of development. In other words, the Index is constructed to rank countries on their gender gaps not on their development level. For example, rich countries, generally speaking, are able to offer more education and health opportunities to all members of society, although this is quite independent of the gender-related gaps that may exist within those higher levels of health or education. The Global Gender Gap Index rewards countries for smaller gaps in access to these resources, regardless of the overall level of resources. Thus, in the case of education, the Index penalizes or rewards countries based on the size of the gap between male and female enrolment rates, but not for the overall levels of education in the country.
Outcomes vs. inputs
The second basic concept underlying the Global Gender Gap Index is that it evaluates countries based on outcomes rather than inputs or means. Our aim is to provide a snapshot of where men and women stand with regard to some fundamental outcome indicators related to basic rights such as health, education, economic participation and political empowerment. Indicators related to country-specific policies, rights, culture or customs—factors that we consider “input” or “means” indicators—are not included in the Index, but they are discussed further in the analytic sections of this chapter, as well as being featured in the Report’s Country Profiles. For example, the Index includes an indicator comparing the gap between men and women in high-skilled jobs such as legislators, senior officials and managers (an outcome indicator) but does not include data on the length of maternity leave (a policy indicator). This approach has contributed significantly to the Index’s distinctiveness over the years and, we believe, continues to provide the most objective basis for discussing underlying contextual factors.
Gender equality vs. women’s empowerment
The third distinguishing feature of the Global Gender Gap Index is that it ranks countries according to their proximity to gender equality rather than to women’s empowerment. Our aim is to focus on whether the gap between women and men in the chosen indicators has declined, rather than whether women are winning the so-called “battle of the sexes.” Hence, the Index rewards countries that reach the point where outcomes for women equal those for men, but it neither rewards nor penalizes cases in which women are outperforming men on particular indicators in some countries. Thus, a country that has higher enrolment for girls rather than boys in secondary school will score equal to a country where boys’ and girls’ enrolment is the same.
The four subindexes
The Global Gender Gap Index examines the gap between men and women in four fundamental categories (subindexes): Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival and Political Empowerment. Table 1 displays all four of these subindexes and the 14 different indicators that compose them, along with the sources of data used for each.
Economic Participation and Opportunity
This subindex contains three concepts: the participation gap, the remuneration gap and the advancement gap. The participation gap is captured using the difference between women and men in labour force participation rates. The remuneration gap is captured through a hard data indicator (ratio of estimated female-to-male earned income)1 and a qualitative indicator gathered through the World Economic Forum’s Executive Opinion Survey (wage equality for similar work). Finally, the gap between the advancement of women and men is captured through two hard data statistics (the ratio of women to men among legislators, senior officials and managers, and the ratio of women to men among technical and professional workers).
This subindex captures the gap between women’s and men’s current access to education through ratios of women to men in primary-, secondary- and tertiary-level education. A longer-term view of the country’s ability to educate women and men in equal numbers is captured through the ratio of the female literacy rate to the male literacy rate.
Health and Survival
This subindex provides an overview of the differences between women’s and men’s health through the use of two indicators. The first is the sex ratio at birth, which aims specifically to capture the phenomenon of “missing women”, prevalent in many countries with a strong son preference. Second, we use the gap between women’s and men’s healthy life expectancy. This measure provides an estimate of the number of years that women and men can expect to live in good health by taking into account the years lost to violence, disease, malnutrition or other relevant factors.
This subindex measures the gap between men and women at the highest level of political decision-making through the ratio of women to men in minister-level positions and the ratio of women to men in parliamentary positions. In addition, we include the ratio of women to men in terms of years in executive office (prime minister or president) for the last 50 years. A clear drawback in this category is the absence of any indicators capturing differences between the participation of women and men at local levels of government. Should such data become available at a globally comparative level in future years, it will be considered for inclusion in the Index.
Construction of the Index
The overall Global Gender Gap Index is constructed using a four-step process, outlined below. Some of the indicators listed in Table 1 require specific construction or modification in order to be used in the Index. For further information on the indicator-specific calculations, please refer to the User’s Guide: How Country Profiles Work section in Part 2 of this Report.
Convert to ratios
Initially, all data is converted to female-to-male ratios. For example, a country with 20% of women in ministerial positions is assigned a ratio of 20 women to 80 men, thus a value of 0.25. This is to ensure that the Index is capturing gaps between women and men’s attainment levels, rather than the levels themselves.
Truncate data at equality benchmark
As a second step, these ratios are truncated at the “equality benchmark.” For all indicators, except the two health indicators, this equality benchmark is considered to be 1, meaning equal numbers of women and men. In the case of the sex ratio at birth, the equality benchmark is set at 0.944.2 and the healthy life expectancy benchmark is set at 1.06.3 Truncating the data at the equality benchmarks for each assigns the same score to a country that has reached parity between women and men and one where women have surpassed men.
The type of scale chosen determines whether the Index is rewarding women’s empowerment or gender equality.4 To capture gender equality, two possible scales were considered. One was a negative-positive scale capturing the size and direction of the gender gap. This scale penalizes either men’s advantage over women or women’s advantage over men, and gives the highest points to absolute equality. The second choice was a one-sided scale that measures how close women are to reaching parity with men, but does not reward or penalize countries for having a gender gap in the other direction. We find the one-sided scale more appropriate for our purposes, as it does not reward countries for having exceeded the parity benchmark. However, disparities in either direction are recorded in the Country Profiles.
Calculate subindex scores
The third step in the process involves calculating the weighted average of the indicators within each subindex to create the subindex scores. Averaging the different indicators would implicitly give more weight to the measure that exhibits the largest variability or standard deviation. We therefore first normalize the indicators by equalizing their standard deviations. For example, within the Educational Attainment subindex, standard deviations for each of the four indicators are calculated. Then we determine what a 1% point change would translate to in terms of standard deviations by dividing 0.01 by the standard deviation for each indicator. These four values are then used as weights to calculate the weighted average of the four indicators.
This way of weighting indicators allows us to make sure that each indicator has the same relative impact on the subindex. For example, an indicator with a small variability or standard deviation, such as primary enrolment rate, gets a larger weight within the Educational Attainment subindex than an indicator with a larger variability, such as tertiary enrolment rate. Therefore, a country with a large gender gap in primary education (an indicator where most countries have achieved near-parity between women and men) will be more heavily penalized. Similarly, in the case of the sex ratio indicator (within the Health and Survival subindex), where most countries have a very high sex ratio and the spread of the data is small, the larger weight will penalize more heavily those countries that deviate from this value. Table 2 displays the values of the weights used.5
Calculate final scores
For of all subindexes, the highest possible score is 1 (parity) and the lowest possible score is 0 (imparity), thus binding the scores between inequality and equality benchmarks.6 An un-weighted average of each subindex score is used to calculate the overall Global Gender Gap Index score. Similar to subindex scores, this final value ranges between 1 (parity) and 0 (imparity), thus allowing for comparisons relative to ideal standards of equality in addition to relative country rankings.7 The parity and imparity benchmarks remain fixed across time, allowing the reader to track individual country progress in relation to an ideal standard of equality. Furthermore, the option of roughly interpreting the final Index scores as a percentage value that reveals how a country has reduced its gender gap should help make the Index more intuitively appealing to readers.8
1 Following a methodology originally developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Global Gender Gap Index estimates the average income earned by women, relative to income earned by men, in a calculation that takes into account a country’s GDP per capita (US$), the share of women and men in the labour force, and their mean nominal wages. To account for globally rising income levels, beginning with this year’s edition of the Report, the maximum income value considered in the calculation has been capped at US$75,000 per capita. This follows UNDP’s own adjustment of the methodology in line with findings by Kahneman and Deaton that suggest there is little additional gain in human well-being from annual income beyond US$75,000. In previous editions of the Global Gender Gap Index, this cap was US$40,000. Since 2011, the US$ 40,000 cap had lost some its ability to discern the level of gender-based income disparities among high-income nations such as the Nordics, the United States and the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council. For a full overview of this year’s methodology change, refer to Appendix D. For a more detailed discussion of the assumptions behind the Estimated earned income indicator, refer to: Kahneman and Deaton, High income improves evaluation of life but not emotional well-being, and Human Development Report 2015, UDNP; Technical Notes and UNDP, “Frequently Asked Questions: Gender Development Index (GDI)”, available at: http://hdr.undp.org/en/faq-page/gender-development-index-gdi (accessed October 2016).
2 This ratio is based on what is considered to be a “normal” sex ratio at birth: 1.06 males for every female born. See: Klasen and Wink, “Missing Women: Revisiting the Debate”.
3 This ratio is based on the standards used in the UNDP’s Gender-Related Development Index, which uses 87.5 years as the maximum age for women and 82.5 years as the maximum age for men.
4 A first attempt to calculate the gender gap was made by the World Economic Forum in 2005; see Lopez-Claros and Zahidi, Women’s Empowerment: Measuring the Global Gender Gap. The 2005 Index, which was attempting to capture women’s empowerment, used a “feminist” scale that rewarded women’s supremacy over men (highest score is assigned to the country with the biggest gap in favour of women).
5 As in previous editions of the Index, weights derived for the 2006 Index were used again this year to allow for comparisons over time. They may be revised in future editions to reflect the evolution of the gender gap over the past decade.
6 This is not strictly accurate in the case of the Health and Survival subindex, where the highest possible value a country can achieve is 0.9796. However, for purposes of simplicity, we will refer to this value as 1 throughout the chapter and in all tables, figures and Country Profiles.
7 Because of the special equality benchmark value of 0.9796 for the Health and Survival subindex, it is not strictly accurate that the equality benchmark for the overall Index score is 1. This value is in fact (1 + 1 + 1 + 0.9796) / 4 = 0.9949. However, for purposes of simplicity, we will refer to the overall equality benchmark as 1 throughout the chapter and in all tables, figures and Country Profiles.
8 Since the indicators in the subindexes are weighted by the standard deviations, the final scores for the subindexes and the overall Index are not a pure measure of the gap vis-à-vis the equality benchmark, and therefore cannot be strictly interpreted as percentage values measuring the closure of the gender gap. However, for ease of interpretation and intuitive appeal, we will be using the percentage concept as a rough interpretation of the final scores. | statistics |

As we look ahead to the next chapter in this groundbreaking research endeavor, we also want to share 7 amazing facts from the past 4 years with you.
1. Thanks to your support, we’ve collared and tracked a total of 19 snow leopards in the South Gobi in the last 4 years.
2. Our GPS collars recorded over 18,000 individual snow leopard locations, the most detailed snow leopard distribution data ever assembled.
3. From this data, our scientists have calculated that the most avid wanderer among “our” cats, Ariun, has a monthly home range of over 463 km2, which is more than 5 times the size of Manhattan…
4. Our study area sometimes resembles a nursery: In 2012: we’ve been able to confirm the existence of six new snow leopard cubs through a preliminary review of research camera data and from sightings!
5. We’ve documented weight, size and sex of three newborn cubs, another “first” in snow leopard science!
6. Thanks to the data from our study, local communities have managed to secure greater environmental protection for a 6,500 sq km region in the Tost mountains, 2/3 the size of Yellowstone National Park.
7. More than a dozen grad students from Mongolia and many other countries have advanced their academic careers while taking part in the long-term study. | statistics |

SLIM to none. That sums up the chances of MCA regaining its position as the political party of choice for Malaysian Chinese.
These findings cast doubt on the claim by MCA president Liow Tiong Lai that DAP candidates will be knocked out in the next election.
In a survey conducted in August this year, Institut Darul Ehsan (IDE) found that 68% of the Chinese respondents favoured Pakatan Harapan, while only 21% supported Barisan Nasional. A total of 7% were undecided and 4% supported PAS.
Chinese voters’ approval for PH state governments in Selangor and Penang also remained strong at 58% and 65% respectively, said IDE.
In another survey carried out by Merdeka Center for Opinion Research in September, more than two-thirds of ethnic Chinese respondents, or 68%, believe that the country is generally going in the wrong direction, compared with 51% in a similar poll conducted in April 2013.
Liow had predicted on Sunday that DAP will tumble in the next general elections, which must be held by next August.
Merdeka Center’s executive director, Ibrahim Suffian said it was premature for Liow to make such a claim.
“It’s still too early to say whether there is a substantive improvement in Chinese voter support to MCA at this point in time.
“So far, available data still show that DAP is favoured over MCA. However, we can’t rule out some minor variations due to changes in turnout amongst voters of different age groups,” Ibrahim told The Malaysian Insight.
Merdeka Center research manager Tan Seng Keat said even if there was a swing back to BN, it would be from a small percentage of loyal MCA supporters who voted against BN in the last election because they believed there was a genuine chance of changing the government
In 2013, MCA suffered its worst electoral outing, winning only seven out of 37 parliamentary seats and 11 out of 90 state seats it contested. DAP won 38 out of 51 parliamentary seats and 95 out of 103 state seats it contested.
MCA is said to have some 1.09 million members and is the second largest component party in BN, but only 661,469 Chinese voters (18.4%) voted for BN in 2013, while 2.92 million (81.5%) voted for Pakatan Rakyat.
IDE said most Chinese respondents are still angry with BN for introducing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in April 2015, leading to a sharp rise in the price of goods.
“Most are unhappy with the current economic situation,” said IDE.
It found that the rising prices of goods topped the list of concerns among Chinese respondents (53%), followed by the pressures of life (23%), wages (10%), crime and social issues (6%), infrastructure development (5%), unemployment (2%) and other issues (3%).
The IDE conducted the survey among 4,468 people. – November 9, 2017. | statistics |

Not only does the United States, with 5% of the world’s population, incarcerate nearly a quarter of the people on earth who live their lives behind bars, but it does so in a manner where African Americans are are disproportionately represented in the prison population. Racism is alive and well in this Incarceration Nation.
I spend a lot of time thinking about the prison system. My good friend runs a blog detailing her experiences as the wife of an inmate incarcerated under New York’s inhumane Rockefeller drug laws. And many of our students read Heather Thompson’s book on Attica last fall. Professor Thompson was on campus, as were a number of people who had been involved in the Attica uprising and its aftermath. A student in my Indian Law class asked about incarceration rates for Native Americans. I had always assumed that Native Americans, in states with large Native American populations, were over-represented in those state prison populations.
There is information on jails in Indian Country here. It is a broad, national picture. For the Native American population incarcerated in “local jails,” which are defined as “confinement facilities administered by local or regional law enforcement agencies and private facilities operated under contract to such agencies. They exclude jails administered by federal, state prison, or tribal authorities,” you can read more here. For the federal prison system, an overview can be found here.
In Montana, where I lived and taught for four years. Native Americans were significantly over-represented in the states prison population. The Prison Policy Initiative has assembled a really helpful website that allowed me to increase my understanding of this important issue.
For Arizona, a state with a large Native American population, the figures are a bit less stark than they are for Montana.
For other states with large Native American populations, here is a run down on the figures:
State Percentage of Population Percentage of Incarcerated Population
New Mexico 9% 11%
South Dakota 9% 29%
North Dakota 5% 29%
Utah 1% 4%
Washington 2% 5%
Oklahoma 7% 8%
Alaska 15% 38%
Minnesota 1% 8%

In the United States, approximately 20% of young people age 12 to 19 have untreated decay, while 60% of low-income adolescents in the same age group have experienced dental caries.
Among adults age 20 to 64, 20% have untreated decay.
Although much progress has been made in developing and implementing strategies to address tooth decay and assess caries risk, the role of tobacco and marijuana use in the incidence of dental caries has not been closely examined.

In order to better comprehend the oral health implications of tobacco and/or marijuana use, it is important to understand the trends in these behaviors.
Tobacco use remains one of the leading preventable causes of death in the United States. It is responsible for approximately one out of every five deaths, and from 2000 to 2004, cigarettes killed approximately 443,000 Americans annually.
Cigarette consumption in the U.S. increased from 2.5 billion in the 1900s to more than 360 billion in 2007.

Following the trend previously set in America, UK takeaway ordering is increasingly becoming more spread out across the week, as opposed to being the ‘weekend treat’ of the past.
And as ordering from our favourite curry houses and pizzerias becomes the norm, spending on home delivery continues to rise – with the total expenditure expected to more than treble by 2020.
AlixPartners, a leading global business advisory firm and who undertook the research, found that spending will rise from 2015’s total of £2 billion to £7.6 billion in the space of four years.
And a great deal of the growth will come through the recent explosion of high street restaurant chains that now offer home delivery services through specialist services such as Deliveroo and now Amazon.
Also on the rise is the demand for a healthy takeaway, as those with a fast food craving opt to go for the less calorific option and not the ‘unhealthy’ meals that have traditionally been associated with the takeaway market.
AlixPartners’ study also found that 53% of UK diners believe it’s important that restaurants offer online ordering; 56% feel that healthy options are important; and 48% want loyalty rewards, such as discounts and special offers.
The firm also said restaurants will now need to increase their investment in technology in order to take advantage of the UK’s new eating habits, with high tech ordering systems being the most notable area for innovation. | statistics |

Breast Feeding lowers the risk of SIDS .The above is the title of a Reuters news article dated Jun 14, 2011, reporting on a scientific study showing that breastfeeding lowers the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The study published on June 13 in the journal Pediatrics showed that infants who were breastfed were less likely to die from SIDS than infants who did not receive any breast milk.
SIDS is the sudden and unexplainable death of an infant occurring several hours after having been put to bed. In the United Kingdom, these incidents were known as “cot death”, while in North America, they were called “crib death”. Statistics show that in the US, about 2500 infants, or about 7 infants per day, die from SIDS every year.
In this study, researchers reviewed 288 previous studies done on breastfeeding and SIDS between the years 1966 and 2009 to see if there was a correlation over time in a large number of studies. Lead researcher, Fern R. Hauck, MD, MS, from the Department of Family Medicine, University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville, noted, “Breastfeeding is the best method of feeding infants." She continued, “Benefits of breastfeeding include lower risk of post-neonatal mortality. We found a protective effect even after controlling for factors that could explain the association."
The study results showed that even a short duration of breastfeeding was associated with a 60 percent reduction in the risk of SIDS. The largest benefit was with mothers who exclusively breastfed for 2 months or more, where researchers found a 73 percent decreased risk of SIDS.
“There's lots of reasons that breast-feeding is the best form of feeding infants," said Dr. Hauck. "This study provides even further reason to breast-feed.” Hauck and the other researchers made the recommendation, “Ideally, breastfeeding should be exclusive (no formula) for at least four to six months and should be continued until the infant is at least 1 year of age."
In the study’s conclusions, the authors summed up their results and what they feel should be done by saying, “Breastfeeding is protective against SIDS, and this effect is stronger when breastfeeding is exclusive. The recommendation to breastfeed infants should be included with other SIDS risk-reduction messages to both reduce the risk of SIDS and promote breastfeeding for its many other infant and maternal health benefits.” | statistics |

Each year, the city and the county enter into an agreement in which the city hands over about $7 million for the county to handle its prisoners.
According to the audit, the city hasn’t revised that agreement since 1997. And the agreement doesn’t account for “actual jail operating expenditures,” the audit stated.
So even as the number of city prisoners in the jail has fallen, from more than 85,000 in 2006 to about 61,000 last year, the city’s costs have increased.
Had the city revised its agreement with the county to tie costs to the number of prisoners held, it “would have save the City $2,161,787 from Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 through FY 2008,” the audit stated.
It warned, however, that this figure “is only based on historical data of jail cost categories outlined in the current Agreement.” | statistics |

More than twice as many of last year’s internet data breaches resulted from various small online acts, including people clicking on malicious web links and choosing easy-to-guess passwords, according to a worldwide report from Verizon.
The report, considered to be one of the top annual looks at internet-related crime, includes information from 50 organisations ranging from law enforcement to security companies.
Target’s breach, one of the largest in history, resulted in the thefts of 40 million credit and debit card numbers, along with the personal information of up to 70 million people.
Other companies including fellow retailers Neiman Marcus and Michaels Stores later announced breaches to their systems.
But while such large-scale attacks grab headlines, the number of breaches of payment systems has fallen in recent years.
In 2013, there were 198 recorded breaches of payment systems, representing 14 per cent of the year’s 1,367 confirmed data breaches.
By comparison, web applications data breaches accounted for 490, or 35 per cent, and cases of online espionage covered 306 attacks, or 22 per cent.
Verizon says its numbers are not comparable with those from previous reports because its research methods and the number of contributors to the report have changed.
Wade Baker, Verizon’s managing principal of research and intelligence, said researchers saw a big increase in attacks on smaller retailers a few years ago.
But now, he says, it appears that criminals are going after major retailers that handle millions of debit and credit card numbers and leaving the smaller companies alone, even though they are easier to target.
And regardless of the type of attack and the motivation behind it, cybercrime has gone from a game to a big business.
“It’s very industrialised and very sophisticated,” he says.
“You can buy software packages that are customised.
“It’s never been easier to turn data into money.
“Those changes are what drive every big-picture trend that we see.”
Other findings in the report:
– Web application attacks continue to be popular. Those attacks generally stem from the theft of an authorised person’s credentials by cracking an easy password or users clicking a dodgy link in an email. Criminals also sometimes exploit coding flaws in a system to gain entry.
– Of last year’s recorded cyber espionage attacks, 54 per cent targeted US victims and 87 per cent involved foreign governments. In almost half the cases, the people behind the attacks were from Eastern Asia and 21 per cent from Eastern Europe. | statistics |

For Immediate Release: August 5, 2014
Market strength carries into summer for Fraser
Valley real estate
SURREY, BC – Continued demand for single family homes and townhomes resulted in the busiest July in five years
for the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. The Board’s Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) processed 1,615 sales in July,
an increase of 11 per cent compared to the 1,456 sales in July last year and 1.4 per cent above the 10‐year average
for the month.
Ray Werger, President of the Board, says, “July’s steady activity is a continuation of what we’ve been seeing all
year. Our market has fully recovered from last year’s slump and has returned to what we typically see in the Fraser
Valley, which is a steady, consistent market.”
In July, the Board received 2,724 new listings, a decrease of 2 per cent compared to July 2013 taking the number of
active listings in Fraser Valley to 9,636, a decrease of 8 per cent compared to the volume available in July 2013.
Werger says, “Although our sales were slightly above average for the month, the volume of new listings added to
the MLS® was 7 per cent lower than what’s typical for July, so for certain property types and price ranges we’re
actually seeing a shortage of listings creating a seller’s market for particular homes.
“When demand starts to exceed supply it puts upward pressure on prices and in areas such as White Rock/South
Surrey, North Delta and Langley we’ve seen an increase in benchmark prices of single family detached homes
ranging from 3 to 6.6 per cent over the last year. It’s a different story for condos. In most of our market, there’s
excellent selection and prices lower than they were one year ago offering tremendous opportunities for buyers.”
In July, the benchmark price, as determined by the MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI), of a ‘typical’ single family
detached home was $568,300, an increase of 3 per cent compared to July 2013 when it was $551,000.
The HPI benchmark price of Fraser Valley townhouses increased by 0.2 per cent; going from $297,800 in July 2013
to $298,500 in July 2014. The benchmark price of apartments was $194,700 last month, a decrease of 3.6 per cent
compared to $202,000 in July of last year.

Shares of Intel Corp
China's economy grew at a modestly faster-than-expected 7.9 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, the latest sign the world's second-biggest economy was pulling out of a post-global financial crisis slowdown which saw it grow last year at its weakest pace since 1999.
Investors have focused on earnings this week and S&P 500 company earnings are expected to have risen 2.3 percent in the fourth quarter, Thomson Reuters data showed. Expectations for the quarter have dropped considerably since October, when a 9.9 percent gain was estimated.
S&P 500 futures fell 0.5 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures were down 3 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures lost 11 points.
Stronger-than-expected economic data helped send the S&P 500 to its highest level in five years on Thursday. The index is now just 5.6 percent from a record closing peak of 1,565.15.
On the economic front, a report on consumer sentiment in early January will be released at 9:55 am ET (1455 GMT).

In a back-and-forth game that saw big plays topped by bigger plays, Mentor trailed 48-26 after three quarters, but scored a Div. I state championship record 26 points in the fourth quarter to get within one score for the last several possessions of the game.
That was just one of the state records that would fall by the time the game was over. Temperatures in the mid-20s did not slow down the two offenses, which combined for 1,040 yards of total offense to set a Div. I championship game record (second-most overall).
Moeller quarterback Gus Ragland’s 3-yard touchdown run with 2:13 left in the game was Moeller’s only score of the fourth quarter, but it put the Crusaders back up by 10 points and with enough of a lead to hang for the victory after Mentor added one more touchdown.
Moeller totaled 550 yards, which would have been the new Div. I state record had it not been for the 586 yards that Mentor amassed. The two teams combined for a Div. I championship game record 15 touchdowns. Moeller’s eight touchdowns is a Div. Ii championship game record.
Moeller’s 55 points scored are a Div. I championship game record, and the two teams combined for 108 points, which is a Div. I record and ranks second overall.
Earlier in the week, the two quarterbacks – Ragland from Moeller and Mentor’s Conner Krizancic – were crowed Associated Press Division I co-Offensive Players of the Year. On Saturday, the two signal callers combined for 692 yards passing as Krizancic set a Div. I state championship game record with 419 yards passing, while Ragland completed 12-of-13 passes for 273 yards with 189 yards rushing and a state-record tying five touchdowns on the ground. Adding in a 44-yard touchdown pass by Mentor receiver Eddie Daugherty, the two teams combined to throw for 736 yards, which is a Div. I championship game record.
Daugherty himself set an all-time state championship game record with 16 receptions. He totaled 164 yards and two touchdowns.
Ragland’s touchdown runs came on yardages of 8, 3, 70, 1 and 3 yards.
Krizancic also set Div. I championship game records with 36 completions and 54 attempts, while also rushing for 102 yards and three touchdowns. His combined total of 521 yards of total offense (419 passing, 102 rushing) is believed to be a state championship game record, surpassing the mark of 482 total yards set by Kenton’s Ben Mauk (439, 43) in the 2001 Div. IV state championship win over Licking Valley.
Mentor was making its third appearance in the state championship game and leaves with its third runner-up trophy (2007, 2006). Mentor beat Cleveland St. Ignatius and Lakewood St. Edward the last two weeks in the playoffs to advance to the state championship game.
Moeller’s ninth state title adds to titles won previously in 2012, 85, 82, 80, 79, 77, 76 and 75. The Crusaders were making their 13th appearance in the state championship game, which is most among big schools and second all-time to Newark Catholic’s 14. Moeller is now 46-23 all-time in the playoffs after winning Saturday and beating fourth-ranked Hilliard Davidson and No. 1 Cincinnati Colerain the last two weeks. | statistics |

With legal single-event sports betting seemingly on the horizon in Canada, a lot of people are wondering just how lucrative this sector might be once it gets up and running. For many years, only parlay bets have been allowable when it comes to sports betting, which has led to huge sums of money going into the pockets of illegal bookies and offshore sportsbooks. However, legislation has been making good progress in recent months and it seems like there is an appetite for change.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed a lot of things over the past year or so, with the federal and local governments now looking for ways to drive up revenue. Sports betting could be a key driver of new funds coming in the form of taxation and licensing fees. Just how big could the action get?
An interesting report
A recent report from accounting and consulting firm PwC looked into the potential market for single-event sports betting in Canada. Currently, the report estimates that about 39% of sports betting is done through land-based facilities and only 3% of it comes through legal online platforms. In 2019, the total gross gaming revenue in Canada from sports betting was about $242 million.
The report believes that the current sports betting market size could multiply by ten times in the initial couple of years of a fully legal market. This could see revenue lying between $1.5 billion and $2.4 billion. This could contribute as much as $425 million to the country’s GDP each year, as well as possibly creating over 2,500 jobs.
The main assumption from this report is that a fully regulated online betting market would take a huge amount of the current demand away from the illegal operators. It also assumes that there is a 50% tax on the gross gaming revenue in land-based facilities, dropping to 20% for the online sports betting revenues.
Whatever the case, having single-event sports betting can be massive for the economy and for job creation. With this looking it is on the way, a lot of people will be trying to position themselves to benefit as much as possible.
