Telemann is a composer I work with a lot, and there are apparently about 125 orchestral suites that survive, but most of them survive in three unique libraries spread around Germany: Darmstadt, which has the bulk of them, then Dresden, then Schwerin). Historically we know there are missing suites because while the music doesn't always survive, there are musical catalogues with incipits.
Is there anyway using statistics, we can get an estimate of how many total missing suites there are? What would be the methods of getting that number? | statistics |

According to statistics compiled by National Alliance on Mental Illness [see Infograph Below]:
Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. (46.6 million) experiences mental illness in a given year.
Approximately 1 in 25 adults in the U.S. (11.2 million) experiences a serious mental illness in a given year that substantially interferes with or limits one or more major life activities.
Among the 20.2 million adults in the U.S. who experienced a substance use disorder, 50.5%—10.2 million adults—had a co-occurring mental illness.
An estimated 26% of homeless adults staying in shelters live with serious mental illness and an estimated 46% live with severe mental illness and/or substance use disorders.
In assessing the economic impact, Insel estimated in a 2008 study that serious mental illness costs America roughly $193.2 billion in lost earnings each year. Not only on the economy, mental illness has a profound impact on families and society as a whole. Tragically, only 41 percent of adults in the United States with a mental health condition received mental health services this past year. Without proper treatment, those living with mental illness face an increased risk of having chornic medical conditions.

WA has Australia's second highest rate of abortions compared with the number of pregnancies, new figures reveal.
A State Health Department report shows almost one in four pregnancies in WA in 2009 were terminated on purpose.
The review, which tracked the number of abortions from 2006 to 2009, also found more than half of all pregnancies in teenagers aged 15 to 19 ended in abortions.
In total, 8885 abortions were carried out in 2009, or one for every 50 WA women aged 15 to 44, with the highest rates in the Pilbara and South West.
They included 44 girls under 15 and 32 women over 45.
The report said 22.3 per cent of all pregnancies in WA ended in abortion, the highest so-called abortion proportion in Australia after NSW, which had a rate of 24.7 per cent in 2006.
"WA's proportion of pregnancies ending in abortion has been relatively high, around 22 per cent, since 2006, while the abortion proportion of other States was around 21, except for New South Wales," the review found.
"Abortion rates in WA are higher than those in some developed countries such as Germany, the Netherlands and Scotland, which have significantly lower rates.
"The groups with the highest proportion of terminated pregnancies were those at the extremes of the reproductive age, teenagers and women aged 45 and over."
Despite a popular perception that teenagers with unwanted pregnancies underwent the bulk of abortions, they made up less than one-fifth of the total, with the most terminations for women in their 20s, with an average age of 26.
The report said the vast majority of abortions were carried out in private clinics rather than public hospitals and performed in the first three months of pregnancy. Less than one per cent took place after 20 weeks, which required special approval from a medical panel.
Less than 3 per cent were carried out because of suspected birth defects such as spina bifida.
While abortion was available in WA before 1998, its legal status was unclear until amendments to the Abortion Act that year made it lawful to perform abortions subject to conditions.

CMS’ Care Compare program reports on quality measures for more than 4,000 hospitals nationwide. Roughly 13 percent of hospitals in the country were rated five stars, and Lakes Regional Healthcare was the only hospital in northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota, and one of six Avera-affiliated hospitals, to receive a five-star rating.
The overall star rating summarizes quality information on important topics in five categories: safety, readmissions, mortality, patient experience, and timely and effective care. The overall rating, between one and five stars, makes it easier for consumers to compare hospitals. The more stars, the better a hospital performed on the available quality measures.
“Healthcare is a team sport and I’m proud that every person at Lakes Regional Healthcare – our physicians, staff, volunteers, and our Board – has been part of making us the regional leader for the past several years,” said Jason Harrington, Lakes Regional Healthcare President and CEO.

Gen Z continues to lead the trend–this time, for flipping the script on holiday-season shopping expectations. For the five days between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday known as the “Cyber 5,” traditionally the busiest ecommerce days in the calendar year, Gen Z showed us they prefer to shop in-store, and at a significantly higher rate than older generations.
Not only did this generation of shoppers, ranging in age from their teens to mid-20s, spend 2% more over the Black Friday weekend than they did last year (likely due to the now-regular income provided by their first jobs), but they spent 13% more in-store than they did last year. Exiting the weekend, data showed Gen Z was 5% more likely than other generations to shop in-store during Cyber 5.
Back to basics
Gen Z are the children of Generation X, who spent their money during Cyber 5 at discount stores and on furniture and home décor ahead of the holidays. Going into Black Friday weekend, Gen Xers said they planned to do less than half of their holiday shopping during Cyber 5. True to form, while showing a slight preference for shopping in-store (60% versus 40% online), Gen X as a whole spent just 3% more than last year — less, actually, when you account for inflation.
By category spend, Generation X plays into one of our macro Cyber 5 trends: Consumers shopped household items, personal care items and pet needs above all else, suggesting they’re prioritizing essentials over holiday gifts. This might be because they’re cash-strapped and cautious amid uncertain economic signals, or — like the 52% of consumers who said they would spend less than last year; or the 28% who said they wouldn’t shop the weekend at all — they might be waiting for prices to dip lower as the holidays approach. The extra weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year would certainly give them more time to do so.
The most beautiful time of the year
For marketers keen to reach shoppers in the last weeks of 2022 — still the biggest shopping days on the calendar — it’s worth following the money. Gen Z has shown they are willing to spend, have the money to spend, and want to immerse themselves in the joy of the buying experience. This is the generation that’s not only 1.4 times more likely than other generations to shop in-store, but going into Cyber 5, the only generation to over-index on plans to spend big on luxury items in addition to beauty and electronics.
Notably, beauty was the number-one purchase category for Black Americans during Cyber 5 — a consumer base that not only expressed desire to shop going into the weekend (holiday gifts and deals on everyday items), but which also said higher prices due to inflation would not impact their spend decisions and that they were willing to spend more than they did last year in the same period. Early figures for this year’s Cyber 5 show Black Americans spent 8% more than last year, with in-store purchases increasing a whopping 12%, year-over. Asian shoppers spent 6% more year-over, while Hispanic shoppers spent 4% more this Black Friday weekend than last year (with a 7% bump in in-store purchases).
Stalling for sales
Sales may have hit a new record for the period (after inflation, they were near-flat, year-over), but with more than a quarter of consumers claiming they’d abstain from shopping Cyber 5, and major retailers like Amazon, Target and Walmart indicating that spend on toys was down year-over, we can assume there’s more holiday shopping to come from those holding out for even lower price points. And no marketer should ignore the significant increase in spend among multicultural consumers — Black, Hispanic and Asian — compared to the same five-day period in 2021. As the average consumer gets savvier about when and where they buy the products on their wish lists, advertisers must remain observant for what matters to these shoppers as well as the right window of opportunity for reaching those who are willing to pay.
Holiday shopping trends rapidly change as consumers continue to adapt their shopping routines in a post-pandemic world while facing a modern recession. This means brands and retailers must remain nimble as they hone their holiday strategies in the last weeks of the year.

Though it might not be a surprising thing to experts, it is a startling revelation for the layman that more than 50 percent of crypto startups crumble within a period of four months. This is after completing the initial coin offerings (ICO), and the result came out from the Boston University’s fresh study. The report comes at a time when the crypto market is going through turbulence.
Before the emergence of the crypto asset, it was the venture capitals that used to fund the startups. Now, they have been using ICO as a fundraising tool and become the most favored one thus making it an overpopulated one, newsbtc.com reported. Undoubtedly, there were instances of coins that never reached the cryptocurrency exchange for trading leave alone as means of payment. Though the first ICO was introduced about five years back, the term became popular only last year as the prices of most of the digital coins reached their life-time highs.
The growth of ICO and the money generated from it is quite significant. For instance, in July 2017, only $140.0 million was raised from the ICO whereas in March this year, it was more than $4 billion. However, the sharp drop in prices has made investors be jittery, and the amounts raised through the ICO dropped to anywhere $1.3 – $2.0 billion in the last two-month period. During the same period, regulators have also undertaken a lot of steps in streamlining their operations.
Interestingly, Boston University’s recent study has analyzed the tweets of startups so that it could measure the lifespan of the entities. In its study, it found that only 44.2 percent of the startups were in a position to survive more than 120 days after the completion of their ICOs. This outcome was based on the assessment of 2,390 ICOs by researchers Leonard Kostovetsky and Hugo Benedetti and that these ICOs were completed before May this year.
If Bloomberg report is true, then there are about 1,000 digital coins that were treated as dead due to either regulatory issues or financial mismanagement. Alternatively, those startups were not good enough right from the start. Significantly, a number of startups, which were termed as scams, also participated in the ICOs.
Interestingly, a business author, Aaron Brown, indicated that he had seen 80 percent of ICOs as frauds while ten percent have lacked any substance leading to failure following the fundraising exercise. He thinks that most of the remaining ten percent would also face a similar fate only. That is not a good sign for the sector that is in the nascent stage.
As far as the right time to exit, the Boston University researchers found that the safest strategy is to lock returns in the first month itself since it would be the strongest return. Kostovetsky said, “What we find is that once you go beyond three months, at most six months, they don’t outperform other cryptocurrencies, the strongest return is actually in the first month.” | statistics |

China’s iTel brand climbed up to the number two position in overall handset market for the first time with 9% share, pipping Micromax (8%). iTel shipped 5.2 million handsets (largely feature phones) in the quarter. “iTel leveraged its successful low-cost strategy, effective distribution and scale,” Counterpoint Research said. In addition, selfie-focused smartphone category, mainly driven by Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Lenovo and Gionee, grew annually by a factor of nine in first quarter. Xiaomi, for the first time, jumped to the number two spot with 13% market share, per data by Counterpoint Research. The handset maker, as per Canalys data, enhanced its market share by 3 percentage points sequentially to 14% in the January-March quarter. Samsung’s share remained unchanged at 22% sequentially, although shipments fell to 6 million in the quarter from 6.2 million a year earlier, Canalys said. It had 26% share in both smartphone and overall handset segments, as per Counterpoint. Xiaomi’s success in India is underscored by its online go-to-market strategy. “Demonetisation seems to have had no impact on it as its target customer is young, internet-enabled and primarily buys online,” Canalys research analyst Ishan Dutt said in the note dated April 27. Vivo, Oppo and Lenovo (includes Motorola) made up the rest of the top five, as per both agencies, albeit not in the same order. Both the agencies noted that the Indian handset market is now witnessing a focus shift in distribution strategy by major brands. Offline brands like OPPO, Vivo and Gionee have now started focusing on online channels as well to gain extra market share, while online only brands like Xiaomi and Motorola are moving fast into offline markets to widen their reach to the mass market. “We will see a change in vendors’ channel strategies as new distribution models become more cost-effective. Pure online players are likely to suffer and those that react quickly to the new regulations will benefit,” Canalys research analyst Ishan Dutt said in the note dated April 27. | statistics |

A day that celebrates the legalization of cannabis and consumerism’s vast shift towards eco-friendly practices. While overall sales are expected to increase by 10%, customers have also flocked to dispensaries with a new trend dubbed ‘Scavenger Shopping’.
Cannabis is becoming an increasingly important component of the Christmas season.
As formerly clandestine narcotics are propelled into the mainstream, a seismic change is occurring. A recurrent pattern has developed as I’ve covered alcohol, cigarettes, and cannabis for Bloomberg News: Today’s party drugs are tomorrow’s remedies, and mental-health care is ripe for upheaval. The holidays are generally a time for Americans to overindulge in alcohol, but a new alcoholic beverage is gaining popularity. Due to the massive volumes of cannabis bought the day before Thanksgiving, industry insiders have coined the term “Green Wednesday.” It joins a slew of conventional shopping days leading up to the holidays — Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday — and its rapid ascent demonstrates how spending habits surrounding holidays are shifting. According to BDSA, cannabis sales on that day are typically 40% higher than on an usual Wednesday in November. As they await the final results for this year’s Green Wednesday, the assumption is that it will be the best ever.
In a phone conversation, Kelly Nielsen, BDSA’s vice president of insights and analytics, said, “Overall sales growth might be more than that 40 percent this year since there has been more de-stigmatization surrounding the product.”
She went on to say that this “may inspire individuals to bring it to family and group events.”
According to a study of 1,300 cannabis users conducted by Ayr Wellness, a multistate operator located in Miami, almost 8 out of 10 persons planned to consume cannabis purchased on Green Wednesday with family or friends. According to the poll, which was conducted with market research company Suzy this month, almost half of those who planned to buy on that day intended to give their marijuana purchase as a present.
In a statement, Ayr claimed that cannabis is “a great resource for managing family relationships around the holidays,” adding that 25% of Americans think that family visits for the holidays are stressful. According to the report, almost 15% of all American parents will use cannabis to cope with holiday-related stress.
According to the report, 37% of cannabis users intended to offer THC-infused products with their Thanksgiving dinner. That’s remarkable, given that, according to the BDSA, over 80% of marijuana products marketed are intended to be smoked or vaped.
Marijuana is expected to become ingrained in other holidays, such as New Year’s Eve and Christmas Day, according to Nielsen. This isn’t to imply that alcohol will disappear; in fact, according to BDSA statistics, roughly 30% of cannabis users combine it with some type of alcohol.
Marijuana’s festive fight with champagne and eggnog might be only the start of how it upsets alcohol: According to Nielsen, BDSA data shows that 40% of cannabis users in fully legal jurisdictions usually include marijuana in celebrations and special occasions. | statistics |

World Bank and International Monetary Fund – Released April 15, 2011
(Summary courtesy of Jean Fort, Founding Director of Women Empowerment International)
Overview – Two-thirds of developing countries are on track or close to meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015, only four years away. Developing countries will likely achieve the MDGs for gender parity in primary and secondary education and for access to safe drinking water, and will be very close on hunger and on primary education completion. But progress is too slow and targets may be missed on others. Among developing countries, 45 per cent are far from meeting the target on access to sanitation; 39 per cent and 38 per cent are far from the maternal and child mortality targets, respectively.
Among developing countries that are falling short, half are close to getting on track. For those countries that are on track, or close to it, solid economic growth and good policies and institutions have been the key factors in their success. With improved policies and faster growth, many countries that are close to becoming on track could still achieve the targets in 2015 or soon after.
Poverty – On the whole, progress has been made in the fight against poverty. Based on current economic projections, the world remains on track to reduce by half the number of people living in extreme poverty. The number of people living on less than $1.25 a day is projected to be 883 million in 2015, compared with 1.4 billion in 2005 and 1.8 billion in 1990. Much of this progress reflects rapid growth in China and India. While poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa has fallen steeply with the acceleration of growth since 2000, the region has fallen behind and is not on track to meet the poverty reduction goal.
- 55 percent of developing countries (47 countries) are on target
- 25 percent (21 countries) are close to being on target
- 20 percent (17 countries) are far behind the target
But no data on 14 African countries!
Among the low-income countries, six countries have achieved or are on target to halve extreme poverty: Cambodia, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and Mauritania.
The 17 countries far behind the target are: Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, & Columbia; Mali, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Nigeria; Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Yemen, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan.
While wealthier economies are still recovering from The Great Recession, the growth rates of economies of most developing countries have returned or improved. Although the recent crisis set back progress, many low-income countries that had strong macroeconomic policies were able to soften the impact of the crisis with active tax and spending policies.
International Development Assistance – Governments and international institutions cooperated in coping with The Great Recession by maintaining aid and boosting emergency financial resources—although, of course, the aid is never enough. Developing countries are also benefiting from new donors and from a sharp rise in donations from the private sector in advanced countries. This growing assistance from new donors—many in the developing world—will not compensate for a significant future fall in aid from traditional donors, particularly if they pursue different development priorities and practices.
Maternal Health – lags the most of all the MDGs. Only 2% of low-income countries, 20% of lower-middle-income countries, and 50% of upper-middle income countries are projected to achieve the two goals of reducing the maternal mortality ratio by 75% and achieving universal access to reproductive health.
Child Mortality – lags the second most of all the MDGs. Of the estimated 10.5 million child deaths annually, the vast majority are from preventable and treatable diseases and conditions, including low dietary energy consumption (underweight), unsafe drinking water and the lack of basic sanitation (diarrhea), and indoor air pollution related to solid fuel use for cooking and heating (pneumonia).
Health and Education – To better understand results on the ground, the report presents findings and lessons from impact evaluations in health and education. Such evaluations often show development assistance for health and education has risen to unprecedented levels in volume, but has not generated the expected improvements in outcomes.
International Cooperation – Regaining momentum toward achieving the MDGs will require international cooperation on three fronts. First, low income countries in particular will need a strong and stable global economic environment in which to continue growing. Second, actions are needed to help low income countries achieve and sustain more rapid economic growth and restore their policy buffers. Third, fragile states lag the furthest behind in reaching the MDGs and require additional support, to help in building institutions and moving toward a virtuous circle of development, peace, and security.
Socially Excluded Groups – In some countries, it will be important to focus on support for the world’s socially excluded groups, including indigenous people as well as ethnic and linguistic minorities. Most MDG indicators among these groups are far worse than in the general population, especially in terms of income poverty. For example, most countries in Latin America with sizable indigenous populations show almost no poverty reduction for those groups.
Price Increases – Rising demand for food, water, and modern energy is putting pressure on scarce natural resources. This is increasing the prices of (especially) food and energy. And it is hurting poor people in importing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia whose governments are unable to guarantee affordable prices when global prices increase.
Parallel report from UNESCO, EFA Global Monitoring Report 2011, The Hidden Crisis: Armed Conflict and Education. Armed conflict is robbing 28 million children of an education by exposing them to widespread rape and other sexual violence, targeted attacks on schools and other human rights abuses. The reports calls for a major overall in aid to education in conflicted-affected countries. | statistics |

Measles, a disease that was considered eliminated 16 years ago in the U.S., has made a comeback in which a “substantial proportion” of the cases are associated with vaccine refusal, a study suggests.
The study, recently published in the March 15 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, says “the phenomenon of vaccine refusal” increases the risk for measles among individuals who are not vaccinated or refuse to get vaccinated, and also among those who are already fully vaccinated.
Researchers took into consideration 18 measles studies published since the disease was declared eliminated in the U.S. on Jan. 1, 2000, through Nov. 30, 2015. They found that of the 1,416 measles cases reported in the U.S. during that time span, 804 cases, or 56.8 per cent, had no medical history or record of receiving the vaccine, as opposed to the 199 cases, or 14.1 per cent, involving individuals who did.
Of the 970 cases in which such data could be extrapolated, 574 cases involved individuals who were unvaccinated despite being eligible to receive one, and 405 of those had nonmedical exemptions — such as exemptions for religious, moral or philosophical reasons — as opposed to medical contraindications.
The study notes the increase of measles incidents was initially seen only among states where nonmedical exemptions were readily offered, but states with “moderately difficult” exemption procedures have experienced increases in measles rates as nonmedical exemptions have “steadily increased” in the last 20 years.
Researchers also said a higher rate of vaccine exemption or refusal in a community is associated with increased incidences of measles in that community, among persons with and without exemptions.
The study points to a 2014 outbreak of measles that originated at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.
Of the 111 measles cases reported from the outbreak, approximately half were unvaccinated individuals, most of whom were eligible for vaccination yet remained unvaccinated.
“A substantial proportion of the U.S. measles cases in the era after elimination were intentionally unvaccinated,” researchers concluded. “The phenomenon of vaccine refusal was associated with an increased risk for measles among people who refuse vaccines and among fully vaccinated individuals.”
Researchers note the link between vaccine refusal and increased risk of contracting vaccine-preventable diseases is “imperfectly defined” and said the association between the two could be population- and disease-specific.
The study also looked at 32 reports of pertussis outbreaks and found that, in the five largest statewide outbreaks in the U.S., those who were unvaccinated or undervaccinated ranged from 25 to 45 per cent of those who contracted it.
Although vaccine refusal was associated with an increased risk of contracting whooping cough — which is caused by a type of bacteria called Bordetella pertussis — the researchers noted several outbreaks occurred in highly vaccinated populations, indicating a possibly waning immunity to pertussis.
Unvaccinated children vulnerable
Children with vaccine exemptions were 22 times more likely to acquire measles than fully vaccinated children, according to one study cited by researchers, which used data from Colorado measles cases from 1987 through 1998.
The risk was highest among children with exemptions between the ages of three and 10 years old. Among vaccinated children who contracted measles, 11 per cent contracted the disease from an individual with an exemption.
“The most direct measure of vaccine refusal is the rate of parents claiming nonmedical exemptions to school immunization requirements,” researchers wrote.
Of all the measles cases since 2000, the study says 178 involved children younger than 12 months.
Researchers suggest the study has “broad implications” for vaccine policy in the U.S., including the possible overriding of parents’ decisions to not vaccinate their children.
“Fundamental to the strength and legitimacy of justification to override parental decisions to refuse a vaccine for their child is a clear demonstration that the risks and harms to the child of remaining unimmunized are substantial,” researchers wrote.
Measles prevention comes in two doses of a vaccine, including the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) immunization or measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV) immunization.
The needle vaccine is given to children first between the ages of 12 to 15 months and again at 18 months or four to six years, depending on the province or territory.
Public Health says the vaccine is safe, effective and free. There can be some mild side-effects, however, including redness or soreness where the needle went in, as well as slight fever, skin rash and swollen glands.
A single dose is considered to have up to a 95 per cent effectiveness rate, which rises to 99 per cent with the two doses recommended. | statistics |

The primary work of an outreach worker is reconnection with families and support school staff and the community. Once a relationship with the student and family is established, outreach workers help students with registration at school and support students so they can remain positively engaged with school. This support is evident in the number of students who had inconsistent attendance during 2020-21 but are registered for school this year, and in the stories of how the reconnection has a positive impact on both students and staff.
Other meeting highlights included:
Enrolment numbers as of Sept. 30 show 25,777 students registered with the school division, an increase of 497 students over the previous year, along with 479 prekindergarten students for a total enrolment of 26,256. There are 16,993 students registered in kindergarten to Grade 8 and 8,784 students in Grade 9-12. The division has 450 elementary students registered for full-time online learning this year compared to more than 2,200 during 2020-21.
Trustees received an update on student learning results for grades 9-12. The targets are consistent growth in attendance, credit attainment, and graduation rates in comparison to provincial data. The on-time graduation rate for Saskatoon Public Schools' students during the 2020-21 school year was 78 per cent, compared to 79 per cent provincially. The five-year or "extended time" graduation rate was 84 per cent.

The Delta variant entered UK shores ahead of many countries but luckily the vaccine uptake stopped it from driving up hospitalisations, although the lifting of restrictions has raised fears of that prospect. The data released by Pfizer will intensify calls for a booster shot in the Autumn.
The data suggests a third shot builds on the protection offered by the two previous doses.
The data suggest antibody levels against the Delta variant in people ages 18 to 55 who receive a third dose of vaccine were greater than five-fold those stimulated by a second dose.
When administered to an older cohort, the results were even more impressive.
Among people ages 65 to 85, antibody levels against the Delta variant after receiving a third dose of vaccine were greater than 11-fold than following a second dose, the Pfizer data suggests.
There’s “estimated potential for up to 100-fold increase in Delta neutralisation post-dose three compared to pre-dose three”, researchers wrote in the Pfizer data slides.
It is important to note that the data have not yet been peer-reviewed or published.
The data also show that antibody levels are much higher after a third dose than a second dose against the original coronavirus variant and the Beta variant, first identified in South Africa.
It comes after an analysis conducted by Public Health England (PHE) last month found the Pfizer vaccine was 96 percent effective against hospitalisation after two doses.
The same analysis found the AstraZeneca vaccine was 92 percent effective against hospitalisation after two doses.
These are comparable with vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation from the Alpha variant that ripped through Britain last Autumn.
The analysis included 14,019 cases of the Delta variant – 166 of whom were hospitalised – between 12 April and 4 June, looking at emergency hospital admissions in England.
PHE had previously published analysis showing that one dose is 17 percent less effective at preventing symptomatic illness from the Delta variant, compared to Alpha, but there is only a small difference after two doses. | statistics |

Workplace diversity is often at the top of many employers’ list of priorities. But what factors attract differing sexes to different roles? Is it a question of full-time versus part-time, location, salary, or sector? u&u caught up with SEEK recently to go through the latest statistics on workplace diversity.
Who is applying in each sector?
Male job applicants peak in the Engineering industry, at 82% (compared to 18% of female applicants). The top five sectors for males include Mining, Resources & Energy, Construction, CEO & General Management, and Trades & Services.
Do salary expectations differ between the sexes?
Salary expectations are higher among males than females in every industry. Our market knowledge suggests that, at these salary expectations, males are striving to attain a salary package slightly above market rate while females seem more likely to settle for a package within the expected bracket.
Location, location: who prefers where?
Most locations were valued equally between males and females, except for Northern Territory and Western Australia. The WA Regional area was the most disparate location, with 61% of male candidates applying for jobs in the region versus 39% of females. These WA regional, NT metro and NT regional areas are booming hubs for many male-dominated industries such as Mining, Resources & Energy.
Battle of the working hours
Full-time and contract / temporary work is relatively equal between the sexes. However, part-time positions are preferred by females, with 61% of females applying for part-time positions. This is most likely due to more females searching for flexible working conditions to partner with parenting commitments.

Think again. FM at the heart of UK Plc
ISS UK has produced this industry infographic to illustrate the importance of the facilities management (FM) sector and the breadth of services and issues it encompasses.
For a sector which didn’t even exist 40 years ago, FM has witnessed phenomenal growth. Increasingly, organisations are realising the benefits of outsourcing their non-core services to skilled FM companies.
As a result, FM is now at the heart of the UK economy; it provides the cogs driving the wheels of industry. Following the success of the London 2012 Games, the sector’s importance is gradually becoming better understood.
According to the 2012 UK Facilities Management Market Research Report, the FM sector in the UK could be worth as much as £121 billion to the economy, incorporating services such as catering, security and front of house. Outsourcing also boasts a 10.5% share of all UK workforce jobs.

Last Meeting: January 10th/2014 – 5-3 Hitmen (in Lethbridge)
‘Canes Record: 20-39-5-3
‘Canes Home Record: 10-17-3-3
‘Canes Road Record: 10-22-2-0
Hitmen Record: 40-22-1-4

‘Canes Leading Scorer: Tyler Wong (26G, 29A, 55P)
Hitmen Leading Scorer: Adam Tambellini (45G, 34A, 79P)
The ‘Canes are coming off a 5-2 loss on Friday night to the Edmonton Oil Kings at home. Tyler Wong scored his team-leading 26th goal and 55th point of the season, while Jamal Watson added his 24th of the year and fifth shorthanded tally on the year. Stuart Skinner made 29 stops in the loss.
The Hitmen enter having dropped their third straight game last night losing 3-2 in Red Deer against the Rebels. Tonight will be the fifth of six meetings on the season between the Hurricanes and Hitmen, Calgary has won three of the previous four, the last one a 5-3 win on January 10th in Lethbridge.
Lethbridge Point of View
20!: Last year the Hurricanes did not have a 20-goal scorer on their team; Riley Sheen led the team in goals scoring 19 with Jamal Watson a close second with 18. However, this year, the Hurricanes boast three players to eclipse that mark. Tyler Wong team with 25 heading into this weekend. While Watson has put home 23 and with three goals in his last two games, Giorgio Estephan now has 21 goals on the season.
Este-phan favourite: Giorgio Estephan, for all the right reasons, is becoming a fan favourite and a “go-to” guy for the Hurricanes. The 18-year-old, who was born in 1997, has been on an absolute tear since the beginning of December. Estephan has racked up 43 points (20g-23a) in his last 37 games – a pace that would see him score 39 goals and 84 points over a 72-game season.
Calgary Point of View
High Flying Hitmen: The Calgary Hitmen have been playing their best hockey of the season as of late. The Hitmen are 6-4-0-0 in their last ten and have surged to tie the Medicine Hat Tigers for top spot in the Central Division. The Hitmen enter tonight in a tie with the Tigers with 85 points.
Lots of Travel: Much like the Hurricanes, the Hitmen have been playing a ton of road games. In fact, due to the Tim Horton’s Brier at the Saddledome, tonight will be the last of an 11 game road trip for Calgary. Despite the heavy road schedule in the last three weeks, the Hitmen have fared relatively well winning six of the first ten. | statistics |

Some interesting new research released from the US on a very good potential new golfer market segment- video "gamers". It fits in perfectly to the golfer segments identified in this region that we are wanting to target- juniors and women.
“Since 1986, the National Golf Foundation (NGF) has surveyed a representative sample of 40,000 Americans to determine the number of golf participants. They reported earlier this year that the 2011 results yielded an estimate of 25.7 Million people (aged 6 and over) who played at least one round of golf.
One area of interest that NGF examined for the first time this year was golf “gamers”.
So, how many Americans played golf on a video game in 2011?
Turns out, there were approximately 56 Million people (*18% of population) who played golf on a video game in 2011, more than double the number of golf participants!
Not surprisingly, 40% of current golfers played golf on a video game (10.2MM); but more interesting were the 18% of non-golfers who played golf on a video game last year. This equates to approximately 46 Million “golf gamers” who don’t currently play golf, a significant opportunity for conversion. Nearly seven million of those non-golfing gamers were lapsed golfers with 39 million who have never played golf on a golf course before.
22% of non-golfing golf gamers are interested in playing golf now. (They noted “Very” or “Somewhat interested” when asked about their interest in playing golf now). This compares to only 7% of their non-gaming counterparts. NGF estimates there are approximately 10 Million individuals from the non-golfing, golf gamer set with un-activated demand for playing the real thing.
Who are they? They’re young - and females make up a more significant proportion than we are used to seeing in the current golfing population.
Over half of the golf gamers are under the age of 30 (51%). In fact, 29% are juniors (age 6-17)
Of note is the fact that females make up 44% of golf gamers, a significantly higher proportion than we currently see in the golfing population where only 19% are female.
Golf gaming represents a promising gateway to growing participation among younger and female Americans.”
So how do the above stats translate to Australia and New Zealand? If we took 18% of the 25mil population in this region, we are looking at app. 4.5mil video gamers. A 2009 Aussie report though said that 2/3 of Australians are gamers so this number is most likely much higher!
As an industry we need to start investigating ways to leverage off this huge potential golfing market. There is already the infrastructure to possibly work from such as the website World Golf Tour or we contact Nintendo (WII golf) and see what they can offer. We can organise and promote an Aussie/NZ golf tour that can all be done via the comfort of our homes. The advertising revenue can be leveraged off the back of it to make the entire thing sustainable.
On a minimum we would start growing a great database with the right demographic, and potentially get some of them on a path to trying the real game and eventually become members.

There was an increase in the number of infections reported for Friday compared to 381 reported on Thursday.
NCDC said on May 8, a total of 386 new COVID-19 cases and four deaths were recorded in Nigeria.
“Till date, 3912 cases have been confirmed, 679 cases have been discharged and 117 deaths have been recorded in 34 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
The 386 new cases are reported from 20 states: Lagos – 176, Kano – 65, Katsina – 31, FCT – 20, Borno – 17, Bauchi – 15, Nasarawa – 14, Ogun – 13, Plateau – 10, Oyo – 4 Sokoto – 4, Rivers – 4, Kaduna – 3, Edo – 2, Ebonyi – 2, Ondo – 2, Enugu – 1, Imo – 1, Gombe – 1, Osun – 1.
While Lagos State remains the epicentre for the disease in the country, cases in Kano and Borno states have continued to increase significantly.
Nigeria has so far tested 23,835 persons since the beginning of the pandemic in the country.
A breakdown of all the confirmed cases so far shows that 3,912 infections have been reported in Nigeria since the index case in February. Of that number, 2,950 cases are still active, 679 have recovered and have been discharged, and 127 deaths have been reported.
A breakdown of the 3,526 confirmed cases shows that Lagos State has so far reported
Confirmed Cases by State
|States Affected||No. of Cases (Lab Confirmed)||No. of Cases (on admission)||No. Discharged||No. of Deaths|
There has been an increase in infections since the government eased the lockdown on Monday.
Nigerians have been reported to be flouting the safety guidelines put in place by the government to combat the spread of the disease.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha during the Presidential Task Force briefing on Friday said that the committee has intensified the monitoring of the level of compliance with the advisories and guidelines already issued.
“The outcome of our surveillance still points to the fact that violations are still rampant and as I have always pointed out, portends a very dangerous trend,” he said.
He added that the PTF has been consulting with the security agencies and arrived at the conclusion that strict enforcement should be adopted. | statistics |

Around a quarter of all dairy cows suffer with lameness each year. The average cost of a case of lameness is between £150 and £200. Therefore a dairy unit with 100 cows and average incidence of lameness will be spending approximately £10,000 a year on lameness.
88% of lameness are due to a problem in the foot. 86% of foot lamenesses are found in the hindlimb. 85% of hindlimb lamenesses are found in the lateral claw. The reason for this is that during walking around 80% of the hindlimb weight is borne by the lateral claw. Forelimb lamenesses are evenly distributed between the medial and lateral claws.

While some museums are recovering gradually, others still struggle to attract visitors, notably those in London.
The Art Newspaper’s annual survey on museum visitor numbers reveals that the National Gallery is down by 48% due to renovation closures, and the Victoria and Albert Museum is experiencing a 21% drop.
The Tate galleries experienced declines, with Tate Britain and Tate Liverpool down by 40%, while Tate Modern saw a 22% decrease with 4.7 million visits. Partially attributed to closures in 2023, Tate Britain operated at 87% and Tate Liverpool at 73% of their pre-COVID averages. The British Museum also fell short, but by smaller margins.
Numerous prominent European institutions, such as the Vatican, the Prado, and the Musée du Louvre, are reaching or even exceeding their 2019 attendance records. In 2023, attendance at some of them—the Galleria degli Uffizi and the Musée d’Orsay—broke records.
Although exact visitor counts were not disclosed, major losses were observed in museums around the United States, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in comparison to 2019.
Globally, recently inaugurated museums including the Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo, the M+ in Hong Kong, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi have declared their best-ever years.
While Chinese museums were not included in the report due to their later release dates, they are expected to have struggled, with closures and permanent closures of some key institutions like OCAT and Guangzhou’s Times Museum.
The survey, conducted in February 2024, utilized data provided by the institutions themselves for the preceding calendar year, making it the most comprehensive worldwide study of museum visitor numbers. | statistics |

This dividend proposal reflects the positive result of operations.
In the 2011 financial year, the Villeroy & Boch Group generated revenue of €743 million, an increase of 4% on the previous year’s figure of €714 million.
Operating earnings (EBIT before gains on property) climbed by 17% year-on-year to €28 million in 2011. In particular, the rise in revenue as against 2010 and the reduction of production costs contributed to the improvement in earnings. The disposal of former plant property in Lübeck-Dänischburg generated earnings of around €9 million, bringing EBIT after special income to €37 million.
Overall, the Group result after interest and taxes improved significantly to €18 million.
The full consolidated financial statements and further information on the “Bathroom and Wellness” and “Tableware” divisions of Villeroy & Boch AG will be presented and explained at the annual results press conference in Frankfurt/Main on 27 March 2012. | statistics |

Now a new study suggests that preterm birth increases the risk of asthma and wheezing disorders during childhood. Additionally, the risk increases as the degree of prematurity increases.
Asthma is a chronic disorder that causes the airways of the lungs to swell and narrow, leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Untreated asthma can be fatal.
Approximately 11 percent of babies throughout the world are born prematurely.
Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) in Boston, Massachusetts in collaboration with researchers from the Maastricht University Medical Centre and Maastricht University School of Public Health in the Netherlands and The University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 30 studies that investigated the link between prematurity and asthma risk.
The studies ranged a time span from 1995 to present and included 1.5 million children.
According to the analysis, 13.7 percent of babies born prematurely developed asthma or wheezing disorders compared to 8.3 percent of babies born at term. The difference represents a 70 percent increased risk. Babies born very early (before 32 weeks) have approximately three times the risk of developing asthma or other wheezing disorders compared to babies born at term.
States Aziz Sheikh, MD, corresponding author and Harkness Fellow in Health Care Policy and Practice in the Division of General Internal Medicine and Primary Care at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, “Worldwide, more than 11 percent of babies are born preterm. As asthma is a chronic condition, our findings underscore the need to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the association between preterm birth and asthma/wheezing disorders in order to develop preventive and therapeutic interventions.”
Two other recent studies found that drinking alcohol during the first three months of pregnancy increases the risk of giving birth to a premature or unexpectedly small baby and that the maternal diet during pregnancy can significantly affect the risk of giving birth prematurely. Conversely, breastfeeding significantly decreases the risk of asthma and related wheezing disorders.

The public is generally unaware of this requirement and many homes likely have smoke alarms past their expiration date, which puts people at increased risk in the event of a home fire.
A recent survey conducted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) showed that only a small percentage of people know how old their smoke alarms are or how often they need to be replaced. These important home fire safety tools need to be working properly in order to protect people.
According to an NFPA report, in 20% of all U.S. homes with smoke alarms, the smoke alarms aren’t working; 38% of home fire deaths result from fires in properties without smoke alarms or with no working smoke alarms (21%). | statistics |

The sale of an office building, a piece of land and other one-off items gives a temporary boost to the bottom line of a company. Investors who do not read the fine prints might be caught calculating the company’s P/E based on an EPS that has been fatten by extraordinary items. The low P/E may give shareholders an illusion of how cheap the company has become.
The two recent examples are PT Hero Supermarket and Super Group. Hero Supermarket operates supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores and health & beauty outlets in Indonesia. It just announced its full year 2013 results on 25 February 2014. Net income more than doubled to IDR 671 billion (USD 58 million) from IDR 303 billion in 2012, while revenue only increased by 14% to IDR 11.9 trillion. Excluding the extraordinary gain from the disposal of its head office in Jakarta, the underlying net profit only increased by 9% to IDR 330 billion. The underlying operating income fell by 5% to IDR 421 billion due to the minimum wage increase and the pre-opening cost of IKEA, which is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2014. The minimum wage has impacted the bottom line of a quite number of retailers in Indonesia including the owner of the Indomaret minimart chain.
The other example is Singapore-based Super Group, known of its namesake instant coffee. Its two business segments are branded consumer such as instant coffee mixes and cereal drinks and food ingredients including spray-dried coffee and non-dairy creamer. Revenue rose by 7% in 2013 to SGD 557 million but reported net profit increased by 26% to SGD 100 million. Excluding extraordinary gains from the disposal of associate Sun Resources Holdings and a plot of leasehold land, underlying net profit only increased marginally by 2%.
PT Hero Supermarket underlying net profit rose by only 9% (reported net profit surged 122%)
Super Group underlying net profit grew by only 2% (reported net profit rose 26%) | statistics |

Every year, the performance of our Year 6 children in their SATS is analysed and compared to that of other children nationally. This is made public in the ‘league tables’ each year and the headlines are explained for you below. The metrics and measures used do take a while to become familiar with and we have tried to explain them, and what our results say about our school and our cohort last year.
Progress scores are an important indicator of how well children have done across the whole of their time in Key Stage 2. The government have a formula that enables them to compare a child’s individual progress with children who had similar outcomes at the end of year 2 – each of the children in a school then have their progress scores combined to create the school’s average progress score for each subject (as shown below). It may seem counterintuative – but a negative progress score does not indicate that a child has gone backwards. What our results show is that, on average, children in our school made the average amount of progress compared to other children with similar starting points across the country. A few children making very poor progress for different reasons over their time in Key Stage 2 dramatically affected our overall progress score in reading this year.
The important thing for us as a leadership team is that we are checking on current progress and addressing any concerns brought to us by teachers or parents. During the course of each school year, class teachers meet every half term with Mrs Bowen to anaylse the progress of the children in their class, and detailed action plans are created for children who are at risk of not making the progress that we know they are capable of. Mrs Loveman and Mr Parkin also lead separate progress meetings with teachers to ensure children with special educational needs or disabilities, or for whom we receive Pupil Premium funding, are achieving well. If you are worried about your child’s progress then please make an appointment to speak to their teacher. Parental support makes a significant difference to children’s progress at primary school and we welcome your support with reading, home learning on line (Bug Club, My Maths, TT Rock Stars) and coming in to the events we put on to help children in school where possible (Read with Me in KS1, Phonics with Me in Year R, Learn with Me events).
Percentage of Year 6 children reaching the Expected Standard and working at Greater Depth:
The percentage of our children achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at the end of Key Stage 2 is significantly below the national average but when looking at each subject individually the percentage of children attaining the expected standard is higher.
The % of our children achieving the expected standard in each individual subject was:
- Reading 62%
- Writing 72%
- Maths 70%
The % of our children achieving at a higher standard in each individual subject was:
- Reading 23%
- Writing 21%
- Maths 18%
While percentages are a useful way of comparing schools with different pupil numbers, it does sometimes make it hard to see a clear picture within a school. In both reading and maths we had a few children who narrowly missed out – by one, two or three marks over the series of papers, in either– and we had anticipated that these children would achieve the expected standard. If they had done so, our combined percentage would have been 62% which compares much more favourably with the national picture. We have used the lessons learned from the SATS last year to inform our plans and teaching this academic year across all of KS2. We are also using much more analysis of mistakes made with the children to help us to teach the precise skills and knowledge they need to achieve the expected standard in May.
We are pleased that our children who have achieved very highly have done so in line with the national picture, with 10% of our cohort last year working at Greater Depth in all three measures.
Average scaled scores
The average scaled score is used as a way of comparing children’s outcomes across England, and from year to year. Each child’s scores from the SATS papers are calculated and then the scaled score is defined based on the average for that year. Because Reading and Maths are assessed through national tests, these scores are reported nationally. Writing is assessed in school, and moderated across the county, but does not receive a score in the same way, and is therefore not reported in this data. With an average score of 102 in Reading, and 103 in Maths, we can be confident that our children are doing fairly well, however we are working hard to ensure that our scores are in line with the Hampshire average. A few children in a cohort with an extremely low score will of course reduce our average which was the case this year in reading.
We do appreciate this is a lengthy commentary but feel it is important that our parents and carers understand what the data is telling us. Over the last two years, we have had a relentless focus on improvement in teaching and learning and we have seen improved data this year, particularly in the % of children achieving at Greater Depth. As you know, our school was judged to be providing a good standard of education by Ofsted in July 2017. We continue to push forward in improving the school standards in conjunction with our Hampshire inspectors and advisory team.
We know that you appreciate that as well as challenging the children academically, you do not want us to lose sight of the ‘magic’ of primary education, and the rich experiences of the wider curriculum such as Forest School, specialist music teaching, visits, STEM week, charity events and sports week, along with our various productions showcasing our singers, dancers and musicians. We have some exciting new events planned, particularly for Year 3/4 this year and in Year 5 next year as we seek to give children many creative opportunities to build REACH skills in every aspect of school life.
Please be assured that we are a leadership team who are constantly improving the school and lead a team of teachers who are proactive, supportive of the children and manage to juggle the demands of the academic curriculum with the joy of learning.
Thank you for your continuing support of your child as a learner and our school as a community. | statistics |

If all you wanted for Christmas was good news about where housing is headed, then you should have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. What follows is a quick recap of the latest good news on housing activity:
Construction spending on single-family housing is up almost 90% since hitting its market low in June 2009.
According to the NAHB/First American Leading Markets Index, the overall housing market is operating at about 86% of normal conditions.
Almost 30% of builders report that the AD&C market is improving.
There’s still a near shortage of completed, unsold inventory of new single-family homes, and after dipping early this fall new home sales have rebounded nicely.
NAHB’s Housing Market Index, which measures builder sentiment, jumped to 58 in November, which is up 23% year-over-year; it had hit a low of less than 10 at the bottom of the market.
NAHB also reported that its index that measures the pace of current new home sales was up 26% year-over-year, and that builders overall said buyer traffic is up 22% year-over-year.
A 124,000, the number of unfilled jobs in construction is at a 5-year high.
While mortgage rates have increased over the last 12 months, they’ve actually declined 20 basis points since hitting a peak in September.
November housing starts, at an annual rate of 1.1 million, rose 30% year-over-year.
November single-family building permits, at an annual rate of 634,000, were up 11% year-over-year.
I could go on with the glad tidings but most of you are probably busy with last minute shopping for…building materials.

Role of dynamic information in prediction of acute events in septic patients in Intensive Care Unit
Traditional severity score for predicting mortality in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) uses patients’ physiological variables at a point in time (admission and first 24 hours). These scores usually underperform on homogenous subpopulation of patients such as severe sepsis patients. The main hypothesis of this work is that patient’s dynamic information in response to acute events (such as hypotension) and its treatment could provide additional predictive information.
We developed a prediction algorithm for hospital mortality in patients with sepsis and hypotension requiring medical intervention using data from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care II (MIMIC-II database). We extracted 189 candidate variables, including treatments, physiologic variables and laboratory values collected before, during and after a hypotensive episode.
Thirty predictors were identified using a genetic algorithm on a training set (n=1500), and validated with a logistic regression model on an independent validation set (n=613). The final prediction algorithm used included dynamic information and had good discrimination (AUC = 82.0%) and calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow C statistic = 10.43, p=0.06). This model was compared to APACHE IV using reclassification indices and was found to be superior with a NRI of 0.19 (p<0.001) and an IDI of 0.09 (p<0.001). | statistics |

How much food did you buy — and how much of that did you throw away?
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, around 1.3 billion tons of food is lost or wasted globally every year. That’s roughly a third of the food produced annually.
And all that discarded food usually winds up in landfills.
“We don’t really see that. We handle our waste kind of secretly — it goes out the back door. But we needed a place for that stuff to go,” said Bruce Alder, president of ALPRO Energy and Water. | statistics |

This is based on Nielsen’s latest Apps playbook report on an August survey of 4,000 US mobile subscribers. The good news is that this number is up from 22 the year before – an increase of 25%. The bad news is that during the same time, the number of available applications have skyrocketed. Depending on phone type, there are over 200,000 iPhone apps and over 40,000 Android apps advertised. It seems like out of this overwhelming supply, only a miniscule number actually end up on actual phones. Even if you take the number of Smart Phones (50 million) into account – the total number of installed apps remains relatively low with the average app only installed on 26,000 phones – [26 apps/phone * 50 million phones / 50,000 average available apps]. Since big apps like Facebook, Weather Channel, Google Maps and Pandor have huge penetration, the actual average app seems to be installed on 10,000 phones or less. The notion of ‘the long tail’ was popular some years back – this is really a long long tail! What is going on?
It seems like the average user downloads a relatively limited set of apps on their phones and only gradually add more, in this case on average five more/year. The current average of 27 easily encompasses the 18 categories (games, weather, maps/search, social networking etc.) described in the study + a couple of more. This represents one dominant app in each category and a couple of new interesting ones as they come along. It also no doubt represents special unique interests, niche apps that appeal to a specific individual. Using these 27 apps on a regular basis involves quite a bit of time and there is most likely natural limit to how many apps people will ever have on their phones. But our guess is also that today’s phone user interfaces have a lot to do with how many apps people have and use. Why is that?
27 icons fill between two and three pages on today’s smart-phone matrix User Interfaces. Adding more apps means more pages and sooner or later the flipping of pages to find the app you are looking for is simply a bad User Experience. Most UIs are also disorganized with icons placed in random order and while it is possible to change placements, this is not necessarily intuitive, again a bad User Experience. Between these inherent limitations of the UIs and the fact that 20-30 apps cover the 18 categories users are looking for, it is unlikely that we will see a dramatic increase, like a doubling, of the number of Apps the average users have. In order to move this number up substantially, we need a much better User Experience in the form of a new User Interface! | statistics |

Conservative Republicans are among the most joyous, according to a survey released yesterday by the Pew Research Center for the Public and the Press, which found that 47 percent of respondents who were both conservative and Republican said they were "very happy."
The survey was specific. This isn't just ho-hum happy. This is emphatically happy.
The group was eclipsed only by well-heeled Republicans with more than $150,000 in annual incomes -- 52 percent were very happy -- and people who attend church at least once a week, with incomes of more than $50,000 a year. Half of them also said they had a happy mind-set.
The findings revealed that the Republican Party has an upbeat history: Republicans have been consistently happier than Democrats every year since the survey began in 1972, with up to a 17 percentage point lead. Republicans topped their rivals by 11 points even during the Carter and Clinton presidencies, according to Pew.
"The GOP happiness edge over Democrats has ebbed and flowed in a pattern that appears unrelated to which party is in political power," the survey said, noting "a significant partisan gap."
28 percent of liberal Democrats were in the "very happy" group; the figure was 31 percent among conservative or moderate Democrats and 45 percent among moderate or liberal Republicans.
Good feelings don't seem to hinge on money, either. Considering household income, "Republicans still have a significant edge: that is, poor Republicans are happier than poor Democrats; middle-income Republicans are happier than middle-income Democrats, and rich Republicans are happier than rich Democrats," the survey stated.
For example, 30 percent of Republicans who made less than $30,000 a year were very happy -- compared with 19 percent of Democrats in that income bracket. Among those with annual incomes of more than $75,000, the figures were 52 percent and 38 percent, respectively.
Sorry about the highlighting, once I started I didn't know when to stop!
Anyway, I thought this was fascinating! One thing I've noticed is that the Republicans I know have more faith in their fellow human beings than the Democrats I know. Republicans are less likely to interpret ambiguous behavior as malicious or deceitful than their counter-parts are. (I think my Democratic friends might call this naivete or wishful thinking.) Of course, this doesn't apply across the board, and the exceptions, when they occur (think Bill Clinton and Bill O'Reilly), tend to be conspicuous. | statistics |

Despite more arena dates, the stadium concerts, perhaps unsurprisingly, carried the bigger gross ($28.6 million) while managing a slightly lighter ticket price ($121), compared to arenas with $21.5 million on an average $169.48 ticket. The stadium portion hit some of the biggest music markets in the country, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas but also Indianapolis and Missoula, Mont.
Tour highlights include an Aug. 5 show at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., with a $4.5 million gross. The most tickets were sold at Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium, one of only three concerts at the venue so far. The show sold 36,100 tickets while bringing in more than $4 million.
The 2021 tour follows the comeback of GNR’s original lineup via the Not In This Lifetime… Tour. That run spanned four years (2016-19) and wrapped as the third biggest tour in Boxscore history with a $584.2 million and 5.4 million attendance count. To date, Guns N’ Roses has grossed $774.1 million and sold 9.6 million tickets over 453 reported shows over their career.
The Guns N’ Roses 2021 Tour was promoted by Live Nation, with representation by United Talent Agency and on-stage support from Mammoth WVH. The tour will continue in 2022 with legs in Europe and Australia. | statistics |

A study published last month in the journal Sexual Medicine suggests that women who use cannabis on a regular basis have better orgasms, higher arousal, and more sexual satisfaction overall. The study is the first-of-its-kind to use a validated questionnaire to asses the association between female sexual function and aspects of cannabis use.
The study included 452 women aged 30 to 49, of which 72.8 percent used cannabis more than six times per week. Most of the women (81.6 percent) were in a relationship and 46.7 percent of the participants usually consumed cannabis by smoking flower.
The researchers used the validated Female Sexual Function Index and women who reported more cannabis use reported higher FSFI scores. Moreover, women who increased their use by just one use per week reported an increase in total FSFI, including in the desire, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction domains.

However, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a momentous impact on all aspects of the industry. A new KPMG report titled UAE Healthcare Perspectives: Who cares, wins offers insight into the opportunities, trends and emerging growth areas. Healthcare-related expenditure in the Gulf grew from $60 billion in 2013 to $76 billion in 2019, and is expected to grow to a further $89 billion by 2022, an overall increase of nearly 50% from 2013 to 2022.
Among the dynamics impacting the present and future of the UAE’s healthcare sector, the KPMG report highlights the growth of private investment. The UAE government has been the primary investor in the country’s healthcare sector: in 2019, it funded approximately 69% of the country’s total healthcare expenditure of $16 billion. From 2018 to 2022, private-sector healthcare spending is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 9.5%, compared to a government contribution growth rate of 4.4%.
The report identifies a number of challenges and prospects, representing the new normal for the healthcare sector. These include increased consolidation through merger and acquisition activity in the global and regional healthcare sectors, as smaller private healthcare groups increasingly face liquidity challenges caused by the pandemic. The report also predicts the emergence of new models of healthcare, with greater digitalisation and increased spending on healthcare R&D and innovation. Telehealth, the use of communication technologies to access healthcare remotely, is likely to be integrated into public private partnership models and government healthcare systems.
The latest Medical Tourism Index Ranking places Dubai sixth and Abu Dhabi eighth in the rankings of leading global destinations for medical tourism. According to the KPMG report, inbound medical tourism in the UAE has been growing steadily, with visitors seeking treatment ranging from major surgery to rehabilitation, to cosmetic corrections.
While the UAE’s healthcare infrastructure is rapidly improving, some specialties remain underserved, such as maternity, paediatrics, elderly care, fertility, one-stop primary care centres, and diabetes. Given the increased occurrence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes in the UAE, there is an opportunity to significantly improve the population’s general wellbeing with enhanced, relevant primary care offerings such as neighbourhood day care centres for initial diagnosis and treatment, before medical issues become complex or life-threatening.
Nitin Mehrotra, Partner, Infrastructure, Government and Healthcare, KPMG commented: “While responses from local regulatory bodies to the Covid-19 pandemic were swift and thoughtfully constructed, to survive and thrive, healthcare organisations will need a well-planned approach to curtailing disruption, and its impact on national well-being and standards of care. The first edition of the UAE Healthcare Perspectives report identifies the dynamics that are likely to be crucial to understanding the future of the UAE’s healthcare sector.” | statistics |

Car Accident Lawyer
Many parents of adult children experienced the “joy” of teaching their children how to drive during the teen years. Historically, teen drivers between the ages of 16 to 19 have had the highest percentage of car crash risk. Statistically, vehicle accidents are the number one cause of death for teenagers. However, a new study reveals that millennials are actually the most reckless drivers.
The study was conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Researchers found that millennials – those between the ages of 19 to 24 – engage in more bad driving behaviors than teen drivers or any other age group.
Millennials are more likely to drive over the speed limit by at least 10 to 15 mph than any other age group. In fact, they are 1.4 times more likely to speed through a residential neighborhood and twice as likely to speed through a school zone compared to other age groups.
They are also more likely to drive through red lights even when they have enough time to stop. Almost half of the millennial drivers said they had run a red light within the past 30 days, compared to one-third of other age group drivers.
The study also reveals that – despite all the education and warnings not to – millennials are more likely to engage in texting while they are behind the wheel. They are twice as likely as any other group to type a text or email while they are driving and 1.6 times as likely to read a message while driving.
Millennials are also more likely to be high on marijuana when they are driving than any other group. Almost seven percent admitted that they drive within an hour of getting high.
More than 88 percent of the millennial drivers who participated in the study admitted to committing at least one of those driving behaviors during the previous thirty days. Although a spokesperson for AAA pointed out that drivers in all age groups admitted in engaging in some bad driving behaviors in the prior month.
In total, there were 2,511 drivers who participated in the study. After millennials, the second most dangerous group of drivers were those between the ages of 25 through 39. Almost 80 percent of drivers in this group admitted to engaging in at least one of the bad driving behaviors. Seventy-five percent of respondents between the ages of 40 to 59 admitted to bad behaviors, putting them at number three. Teenagers came in at number four, with 69 percent admitting dangerous driving behaviors, followed by drivers 75 and older at 69 percent, and drivers 60 to 74 at 67 percent.
Contact a Car Accident Attorney
It is alarming that there are so many drivers on the road, not just millennials, who admit to engaging in so many dangerous driving behaviors which put the rest of us at risk of serious injury or even death. If you are injured in a crash caused by one of these negligent drivers, contact a car accident lawyer in Wytheville, VA to find out how they can help.

During that time period, the average 15-year fixed-rate also rose by just over 7% from 2.17% to 2.327%.
Unless something drastic happens, it’s an almost certain bet that this upward trend will continue, and mortgage rates will continue to steadily rise over the coming months.
We know it's hard to figure out whether this is the right time for you to buy a new home, or if you should wait, but waiting might also cost you some serious money.
Locking in your mortgage rate today is a surefire way to protect yourself against rising rates in the future.

The analysis is based on information obtained from several different sources: a database available through the Open Finance web platform containing the payments of the Ministry of Justice to political parties under account 463170 (transfers to political parties), available at: https://open.finance.gov.mk/mk/home; a database created on the basis of data contained in the decisions for the allocation of funds for financing of political parties adopted by the Ministry of Justice, which was obtained through access to public information; and, finally, a questionnaire for the media and civil society organizations, through which the views and experiences of the respondents regarding the financing system of political parties are learned. The electronic questionnaire was started by 37 respondents, and was fully answered by 25 respondents – media and civil society organizations, i.e. 28% of the targeted, convenient sample, in the period from 8 to 20 October 2021.
The following are the key findings.
- The funds allocated for the parties from the state budget are growing
According to the presented data, we can conclude that the absolute amount that is expected to be paid on the basis of annual funding of political parties increases significantly (the lowest amount in the analyzed period provided for political parties is 80,000,000 denars in 2011, while the highest amount is in 2019, i.e. 304,083,000 denars). This increase is largely due to the significant increase of the fixed percentage that is separated from the source revenues of the budget (from 0.06% increases to 0.15%), as well as the continuous increase of the budget (from 138,401,000,000 denars in 2011, up to 203,236,000,000 denars in 2021). Therefore, the amount paid after the mandate is won follows this increase. Thus, we have the lowest amount paid in the mandate in 2011, i.e. 40,698 denars, and the highest in 2019, when 149,060 denars were paid in the mandate.
However, the actual payments that are visible on the Open Finance portal through account 463170 are different from the decisions of the Ministry of Justice because, in addition to the annual funding, they include payments based on the funding of party research and analysis centers, i.e. do not include suspended payments to parties that have not fulfilled their reporting obligations. Thus, in essence, the lowest amount paid annually on the basis of account 463170 is 51,675,368 denars in 2014, i.e. the highest amount paid is 315,334,064 denars in 2019. The total amount paid in the period between 2011-2021 is 1,630,182,465 denars (or about 26,507,032 Euros).
- More and more parties are eligible to receive money from the state budget, but not independent lists and candidates
Over the years, in fact, an increasing number of parties have been paid as part of the annual funding system. If in 2011 47 parties were recipients of funds on the basis of annual funding, in 2021 this number rose to 58. However, the data indicate that, in fact, the number of parties and coalitions that exceed the 1% threshold in local elections are decreasing (if in 2011 the number of parties and coalitions is 38, in 2021 this number is reduced to 19), while the number of parties and coalitions that receive seats is relatively constant (varies between 7 and 9 throughout the analyzed period). The only logical conclusion is that the coalitions in the elections are consolidating and through the coalition successes the political parties gain the right to state funding.
Electoral success greatly affects the funding that political parties receive under the annual funding system. However, the way the system is set up completely excludes independent lists and successful candidates. This set-up of the system creates unequal and unfair conditions for political competition between political parties and non-partisan actors. It is necessary to revise the bylaws that regulate the system of financing of political parties.
- Increased public funding does not mean less money from private donors
The measure of suspension of the state financing due to non-fulfillment of the reporting obligations provided in the LFPP gives relatively positive results. In the past four years, after the Ministry of Justice issued a decision for suspension, in about 38% of the situations, the parties acted on the decision and fulfilled the legal obligations, after which the payment was made.
For the four parties with the most seats won, an additional approximately 320,000 Euros are allocated annually for their party research-analytical centers and capacity building of their employees. Parties that have been paid on this basis so far are VMRO-DPMNE, SDSM, DUI, Besa and the Alliance for Albanians.
According to the findings, the assumption that increasing state funding will reduce private funding, and thus the risk of external influences and pressures, is incorrect. Donations in the analyzed period show a significant decline between 2015 and 2016 (from 13,770,351 denars to 3,529,280 denars), after which during the next three years the amount is stable at about 6-7 million denars, before almost doubling in 2020 (at 12,705,078 denars). There is a decrease in the collected membership fee. In the analyzed period, the highest membership fee was collected in 2016 (28,455,976 denars), and the lowest in 2020 (15,279,260 denars). According to the data, we can conclude that donations do not decrease, but with the increased percentage of state funding, only significantly increases the total amount available to parties during the year, which is a cumulative amount of annual funding, donations and membership fees.
- CSOs and the media – dissatisfied with the way parties are funded
Finally, CSOs and the media have been critical of the way the political party funding system is set up. 77% of respondents think that the system is unfair and does not offer equal opportunities for political competition, because it favors large and parliamentary parties, at the expense of small and non-parliamentary parties. Additionally, the respondents largely agree that: the media space in the election campaign is unfairly divided between the competing parties; the legal framework for the oversight of political parties is underdeveloped and leaves room for abuse and corruption; the solution that enables financing of the party research-analytical centers of only the four largest parties is discriminatory; the percentage allocated for annual funding is high.
Hence, it is necessary to revise the Guidelines for allocation of funds from the Budget of North Macedonia for the annual financing of political parties, to strengthen the system for monitoring and controlling the spending of party finances by the competent institutions and to create conditions for equal political competition to all party and non-party political actors.

The chronic infection in immunocompetent patients, usually considered as asymptomatic, is now suspected to be a risk factor for various neurological disorders, including epilepsy. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature to estimate the risk of epilepsy due to toxoplasmosis. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted of several databases and journals to identify studies published in English or French, without date restriction, which looked at toxoplasmosis (as exposure) and epilepsy (as disease) and met certain other inclusion criteria. The search was based on keywords and suitable combinations in English and French. Fixed and random effects models were used to determine odds ratios, and statistical significance was set at 5.0%. Principal findings Six studies were identified, with an estimated total of 2888 subjects, of whom 1280 had epilepsy (477 positive for toxoplasmosis) and 1608 did not (503 positive for toxoplasmosis). The common odds ratio (calculated) by random effects model was 2.25 (95% CI 1.27-3.9), p = 0.005. Conclusions Despite the limited number of studies, and a lack of high-quality data, toxoplasmosis should continue to be regarded as an epilepsy risk factor. More and better studies are needed to determine the real impact of this parasite on the occurrence of epilepsy | statistics |

Ormoc, which placed 3rd last year with 41 gold, 43 silver, and 52 bronze, rose to 2nd place this year next to Leyte Division, now a five-time overall champion since 2012.
Leyte also dominated in the secondary level with 76 gold, 46 silver, and 35 bronze medals, followed by Ormoc with 34 gold, 31 silver, and 36 bronze medals. In the elementary level, however, Ormoc overtook Leyte Division, placing first with their 44 gold, 19 silver, and 32 bronze medals.
Baybay came next to Ormoc with 39-34-44 in the third place, while Maasin and Tacloban won fourth and fifth place, respectively.
Mayor Richard Gomez, together with the city officials took pride of the victory of the Ormoc athletes. To recall, the city government approved enough funds amounting to P6.8 million to cater the athletes’ needs, and also to procure a set of ‘branded’ sports shoes and uniforms for the athletes for the first time. The officials even attended the opening ceremony of the regional sports tournament at Naval, Biliran to show more support to the Ormoc delegates.
The winners of this year’s EVRAA will represent the region in the upcoming Palarong Pambansa, which does not have a definite venue yet.

Men think more about sex. No breaking news there. Studies concluded that a little more than half of adult men up to the age of 60 think about sex at least once a day. Men fantasize twice as much as women, though both fantasize less as they age. Men want sex more often than women. If you were to plot the sex drive of men during the different stages of a relationship — start, middle and many years later — it would be a straight line graphic.
The majority of men are pretty straightforward in their need for sex. It’s simple — right to the point. Most women need the prelude of the emotional connection. For men, sex is the connection, no pun intended. It doesn’t mean they aren’t looking for the same things in a relationship, like intimacy and love. Sex is how they express these desires, it is most men’s language.
When it comes to the act itself, men tend to achieve orgasm faster, and nearly three-quarters always reach fulfillment, while only a fourth of the women do so. Sadly, the men believe their partners are reaching fulfillment almost half the time, rather than the 25 percent of reality reported by women. The average sex session lasts anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes. Considering it takes a woman around 10 minutes and more to reach orgasm … well, do the math.
Some other interesting facts: Some men, but not as many as you’d think, have nicknames for their penises; when asked, about half of the men said they would take a male birth control pill (up from a few years ago — way to go, guys); most guys are all for bedroom toys while 30 percent felt intimidated by the vibrating friend (time to rethink things, anxious guys, and make a new BFF); and the majority of the men out there don’t worry about size (really?), and for those who do, it’s almost always insecurity about being too small, rarely about being too big. After rigorous and dedicated studies to find the average human penis size, the winner is just over 5 inches (and, sorry, guys, 5 inches does not equal a foot).
Then there is the cliché about men and their secretaries. Not so far-fetched when nearly 80 percent of men admit to fantasizing about a female colleague and 43 percent about a female boss. And, according to a Glamour magazine survey, about a third of men don’t believe there can be such a thing as a platonic friendships with women.
Women and Sex
A woman’s sexual inclinations aren’t as straightforward as a man’s. A Northwestern University study found that straight men watching erotic films were aroused by the male-female and female-female sex scenes. Gay men found the male-male sex turned them on. While straight women said they were aroused by the male-female sex, their monitored physical reactions showed they were as turned on by the female-female and male-male sex as well. Just when you thought you had the female gender all figured out, they get even more complicated.
Environmental and cultural factors influence women’s sexual desires. Women who attend church on a regular basis will likely have a less permissive attitude about sex, whereas men do not seem to have this same correlation. Peer groups and level of education can also affect a woman’s feelings about sex.
Women are less interested in casual sex than men, and most likely will have fewer sex partners than men in a lifetime. Women do masturbate, but only about 40 percent compared to men at approximately two-thirds. Yet, of that two-thirds, about half the men admit to feeling guilty about it when they do, with no stats on the guilt felt by the women. Men are more rigid in their thinking about who they want to have sex with, whereas women may have the capacity to be more open to same-sex relationships and consider sexual orientation as a matter of choice.
Yes, “not tonight, dear” is an all too common phrase in relationships among men and women. A study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology journal revealed that 40 percent of the women who participated reported some sort of sexual problem, low sexual desire the most common. But out of the 40 percent, only 12 percent said they were distressed about it. In another German study, results showed that only a few years into a marriage, fewer than half of the women wanted regular sex, and 20 years later, only a fifth did.
Yet, in comparison, there are many more cures for a man’s low desire or shrinking libido than for women. Considering the many complicated factors involved in arousing a woman’s sexual desire, some medical and psychiatric professionals question whether drugs are the answer at all. So, at least when it comes to sex, it looks like the mystery as to what women really want remains, and men will just have to keep trying to figure them out. Maybe that is half the fun. | statistics |

Overall, the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department met 92 percent of its park maintenance standards in fiscal year 2018-2019, the latest Park Maintenance Standards Annual Report found. The score represents a three point increase from the previous two years and a six point increase over four years. It also exceeds its target, which was set by the City at 90 percent.
The report also showed continued dramatic improvements in the conditions of formerly low scoring parks. In 2015, the lowest scoring park was 60 percent. In 2019, that score climbed 17 percentage points to 77 percent.
“All San Franciscans deserve clean, safe and well maintained public spaces. It’s key to San Francisco remaining a livable city and essential to the health of its residents,” said San Francisco Recreation and Park Department General Manager Phil Ginsburg. “While there is always more to do, I’m very pleased that our high standards and commitment to equity are resulting in better parks for everyone each year.”
Parks in “equity zones” neighborhoods, defined by the State of California as having the highest concentration of residents exhibiting one or more vulnerable population characteristics, also continued to improve. Overall, equity zone parks received an average of 91 percent, a three point rise from the previous year. Over 61 percent of Rec and Parks’ capital dollars are invested in equity zones, which comprise 20 percent of the city’s park acreage.
The city’s top-ranking 10 properties in this year’s report, with 98 to 99 percent scores, include Boeddeker Park in the Tenderloin; Betty Ann Ong Chinese Recreation Center in Chinatown; Cottage Row Mini Park in Japantown; Maritime Plaza in the Financial District; Argonne Playground, Fulton Playground and Dupont Courts in the Richmond District, Hyde-Vallejo Minipark in Nob Hill; Michelangelo Playground in Russian Hill; and Lafayette Park in Pacific Heights.
The highest ranking park features across the board were trees, outdoor courts, and ornamental beds, with overall maintenance rankings of 93 percent. Restrooms received a 92 percent score.
The condition of many of the top ranking and most improved parks has been partly due to an infusion of bond and open space money. In 2008, voters approved a $185 million Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond to improve park restrooms and replace dilapidated playfields. In 2012, voters again passed a $195 million general obligation bond to improve infrastructure in neighborhood parks. In 2016, voters approved Proposition B, a charter amendment that extended the city’s Open Space Fund to bring in an estimated $1 billion over 30 years for city parks.
This is the 14th Park Maintenance Standards Annual Report. Under an amendment passed by voters in 2003, the City Charter requires the Controller’s Office to work with Rec and Parks to establish objective and measurable park maintenance standards and assess them annually. The goal is to reveal how park conditions change from year to year and to uncover the main drivers of change in park conditions to inform Rec and Parks’ operational decisions.

Changes to the median wage tables will affect the wage-stream of future LMIA applications as well as threshold used to determine eligibility for 10-day expedited processing.
In June 2014, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program underwent a series of significant reforms. As part of this reform package a procedural test of the labour market, the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) was introduced. The LMIA is part of the approval process for hiring foreign nationals through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
The median wage is used to delineate between “high-wage” and “low-wage” occupations as part of the LMIA approval process as well as determine the threshold for 10-day expedited processing.
Provincial/Territorial Median Wages
The median wage has seen a small increase overall across Canada. Nunavut saw the largest increase of $4/hr while Quebec and the Northwest Territories saw no change to their median wage. In Ontario, the median wage increased to $21.15/hr from $21.00/hr while in Alberta, the wage increased from $24.23/hr to $25.00/hr. For the full median wage table, please visit the ESDC website here.
Employers offering a wage above the provincial/territorial median wage are required to prepare transition plans as part of their LMIA application.
Employers offering a wage below the provincial/territorial median face a cap on the number of low-wage temporary foreign workers they may employ at any given work place. As of July 1, 2014 a cap of 30% was imposed on the number of low-wage temporary foreign workers at any given workplace. On July 1, 2015 the cap is reduced to 20%, and on July 1, 2016 the cap is reduced to 10%.
In addition, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) will not approve any LMIAs for low-wage occupations in the Accommodation, Food Services or Retail Trade sectors in regions with unemployment at-or-above 6%.
10-day expedited processing is available for LMIA applications where the wage offered is at-or-above the top 10% of wages in that province or territory. As of April 30, 2015 ESDC will begin using the new tables in order to determine the threshold for 10-day expedited processing. For the top 10% of wages by province or territory, please see the ESDC table here.
What Employers Need To Know
As of April 30, 2015, all new LMIA applications will be streamed as “high-wage” or “low-wage” based on the new provincial/territorial median wage table.
As part of their annual reviews, employers should review the wages of all temporary foreign workers to ensure that they are compliant with the terms of their LMIAs. This means ensuring not only that they continue to offer at least the prevailing wage, by occupation for that region, as determined by ESDC, but also that the wages offered are consistent with the wage-stream of their LMIA.
In addition, employers should be aware that as of July 1, 2015 only 20% of employees at any given workplace may be low-wage temporary foreign workers.
For the provincial/territorial median wage, please see the ESDC median wage table here.
For 10-day processing thresholds, please see the ESDC top 10% of wages table here.
For the prevailing wage by occupation, please visit the Working in Canada website here.

“Researchers said 73% of deepwater fish in the North Atlantic Ocean had eaten particles of plastic, known as microplastics. This is among the highest percentages ever found in fish on Earth, according to a study released this week.” Even if something is not directly killing a wild animal, but it is a stressor that reduces the fitness of the animal then there is a high probability it will result in the death of that animal.
Humans have produced 18.2 trillion pounds of plastic since the 50s. That’s equal in size to 1 billion elephants. | statistics |

Other kinds of forced sales have less dramatic impacts, the study found.
An estate sale after an owner’s death reduces the price of the home by only 5 percent to 7 percent. A bankruptcy filing cuts the value by an average 3 percent.
Foreclosure discounts are especially large in neighborhoods that are low-priced already, researchers point out, apparently because of concerns over vandalism.

But because New York is an unlikely destination if and when the Packers trade Rodgers, Gettleman also reaffirmed the team’s belief in rising third-year quarterback Daniel Jones in the same breath.
Jones has displayed some flashes since the Giants took him at No. 6 overall in 2019, but hasn’t consistently performed at a high level. During a Monday appearance on WFAN, Gettleman and the Giants are looking for significant progress in 2021.
“Obviously, this will be a big jump,” Gettleman said, via the New York Post. “This is the year, Year 2 to Year 3, that Daniel should really make a major stride.
“We’re looking forward to seeing him thrive.”
Jones finished last season 30th among 35 qualified players with an 80.4 passer rating — ahead of Alex Smith, Drew Lock, Dwayne Haskins, Carson Wentz, and Sam Darnold. That figure was also worse than his rookie year, as Jones finished with a 87.7 passer rating in 2019.
Starting 14 games in 2020, Jones completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 2,943 yards with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
Aside from Jones’ own recovery from a serious hamstring injury, having a healthy Saquon Barkley return to the backfield in 2021 should help the young QB. But if Jones’ play doesn’t make that jump in 2021, the Giants might be in the quarterback market in 2022. | statistics |

John Bray, who spoke during a 2016 World AIDS Day programme in Lagos on Monday, said 8.7 million people have received HIV counselling and testing, while 750,000 adults and children living with the HIV/AIDs have received care and support.
“I want to assure you of the U.S. government’s unwavering commitment in supporting partner countries to control their epidemics, and our focus on ensuring every dollar invested has the greatest impact for those in need,” Mr. Bray said.
The theme for this year’s World AIDS Day is ‘Leadership. Commitment. Impact.’
Mr. Bray said since its inception in 2004, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has disbursed more than 3.4 billion dollars to support Nigeria’s HIV/AIDS response. | statistics |

The government also hinted that 720 people were injured during the period.
Presenting the third quarter security report in Kaduna yesterday, the commissioner for internal security and home affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said 220 bandits were killed while over 12,000 cattle were rustled in nine months.
Aruwan said 325 people were killed in the state in the first quarter, 222 in the second quarter, while 343 were killed in the third quarter, totaling 888.
The commissioner said that 949 people were kidnapped in the first quarter, 774 abducted in the second quarter while 830 people were kidnapped in the last three months.
Giving a further breakdown of the report, Aruwan said, “From July to September 2021, a total of 343 persons died due to banditry, communal clashes, violent attacks and reprisals. Of this, 50 were women, and 22 were children. Southern Kaduna district records 193 deaths in the third quarter, over 56 per cent of the total.
“This number is largely made up of victims of violent attacks and reprisals in Zango Kataf, Kaura and Nauru LGAs. These areas witnessed a series of clashes early in the year, which spiralled into a succession of increasingly deadly communal and inter-ethnic attacks across the three LGAs, 114 people died in Zango Kataf LGA, and 19 in Kaura LGA in the period under review.”
Aruwan said, “130 deaths were recorded in Kaduna Central Senatorial District (38% of the total), 125 of these occurred in Birnin Gwari, Giwa, Igabi, Chikun and Kajuru LGAs. Chikun LGA recorded 37 deaths, Igabi LGA 29, Giwa LGA 27, Kajuru LGA recorded seven deaths in the third quarter. The Northern Senatorial District recorded 20 people killed in the third quarter with five deaths recorded in Lere LGA.” | statistics |

It’s physically larger than Manhattan but the population is just a fraction, resulting in a lot of open space. And into that space white-tailed deer have been multiplying. It’s a real problem, given the damage that deer can incur:
As a result, the United States now has over 30 million white-tailed deer, much more densely populated than they ever were before Europeans arrived. Unchecked by wolves, cougars, and bears, the herds wreak havoc: a 2012 Rutgers University study alleges that white-tailed deer are responsible for most of the $4.5 billion worth of crops that US agriculture loses to wildlife annually; they account for three to four thousand car collisions a day. New Jersey alone had 31,192 deer collisions from 2011 to 2012. Unchecked by predators or hunters, only starvation will limit population growth.
The irony is that at one time, white-tailed deer were almost completely wiped out by settlers. When the first Europeans arrived the population was estimated at over 24 million. By the end of the 19th century, that number was down to 350,000. Buy thanks to conservation efforts, that number has grown to the 30 million mentioned above. Unfortunately, those deer are crowded into a small fraction of their original range due to the expanding human population. The accidents and crop damage are the inevitable result. | statistics |

Hiking the Bright Angel Trail in the Southern Rim of the Grand Canyon is a one of the most challenging and iconic hikes in the US. While over 5 million people visit the Grand Canyon every year, less than 1% step foot on a trail, and a small fraction of those take on this difficult hike. With over 3,100 feet of vertical hiking down, and then back up for a total of 6,200 feet completed in one day, this trek also adds the obstacle of temperature change. While it might be a comfortable 75 degrees up top, hikers encounter heat reaching 110 and above in the depths of the canyon. | statistics |

We found out at Allrecipes.com! The most romantic burb in the U.S. is Salt Lake City, based on the number of Valentine’s Day recipe page views. Runner up is Des Moines, Iowa, and right behind are a cluster of Pennsylvania cities (Harrisburg-Lancaster-Lebanon-York) and (Wilkes Barre/Scranton). Omaha, Nebraska, is among the top five too. Sweet! Cooks in these cities must have cupid doing dishes in their kitchens.
Here at Allrecipes we love to slice and dice site information to see what recipes American home cooks are stirring, roasting and mixing in their kitchens. For example, the top Valentine’s Day desserts included red velvet cake and red velvet cupcakes (10 recipes among the top 100 overall recipes!), various cookies (7 recipes), chocolate cakes (5), brownies (3), strawberry tiramisu, and chocolate strawberries. There was one big surprise: pizza – Valentine Pizza – ranked #1 overall among the Top 100 Valentine’s Day recipes. Could you have guessed?

Valentine’s Day is also fun because of so many regional differences for favorite recipes. For example, home cooks in the Northeast love seafood and Italian dishes. Among the most popular Northeast recipes: Maryland Crab Cakes rank #1 and #2, Easy Chicken Cutlets, scallops, oysters, clam bakes, Seafood Piccata and Lemon Chicken Piccata, variations of French onion soup, Sausage-Stuffed Eggplant, and numerous pasta dishes were among the most popular recipes. Just two dessert recipes made the Northeast’s top 25 Valentine’s Day recipe list, both with ethnic overtones: Italian Love Cake and Alsatian Chocolate Balls.
In the Southeast, home cooks adore oysters, duck, and all sorts of Valentine’s Day desserts; 12 of the top 25 recipes for this region are desserts. Pralines are the #1 favorite, followed by Deep-Fried Oysters and Oysters Rockefeller, and four are for strawberry or cherry cakes.
Home cooks in the Midwest looked most for chicken dishes and French toast for their Valentine’s Day festivities. One favorite, Strawberry Pretzel Salad, the Midwest’s top recipe, was only 41% more popular than the U.S. average, compared to other regions where the most popular recipes were more than 2X higher than the U.S. average.
Strawberries, especially Real Strawberry Cupcakes, are Valentine’s Day favorites among Southwestern cooks—along with everything else, which includes Bacon-Wrapped Barbecue Shrimp, Cedar Planked Salmon, Boiled Lobster, Lobster Colorado, Tom Yum Koong Soup, plus a simple yogurt crunch dessert. Popular strawberry dishes included two versions of chocolate-covered strawberries and two strawberry salads, one with avocado and the other with feta. What’s not to like?!
As you might guess, home cooks in the West prefer lighter fare and more vegetables for Valentine’s Day entertaining. Bodega Bay Cioppino and two Swiss chard dishes pulled top rank for the top three recipes, followed by two asparagus dishes and Tom Yum Koong Soup. Cherry Balsamic Short Ribs, Coconut Curry Chicken, and tarragon chicken were the only meat dishes among the top 25 recipes for this region. All others were vegetables, seafood such as Lemon Rosemary Salmon, or desserts. Top dessert recipes included shortbread cookies, chocolate mousse, cream puffs, truffles, and éclairs, plus Love Letters, lemon-flavored sugar cookies folded to look like an envelope and sealed with a candied cherry.

On Saturday, Nov. 5, 82 Calgary Transit employees volunteered their time to support the Calgary Food Bank through our annual Stuff a Bus event. A bus was parked outside every Co-op in the city, and Calgarians generously helped us fill those buses with food and cash donations.
The numbers are in and we had one of our most successful events ever, despite the downturn in Calgary’s economy. The event raised a total of $168,166.75 in cash and food donations. Over 57,000 lbs of food was donated and there were over $53,000 in cash donations.
“Thank you so much for helping us achieve a successful event,” says Cindy Drummond of the Calgary Food Bank. “This event kicks off the start of our busiest season and sets the pace for all our fundraising efforts.”
Calgary Food Bank usage has soared this year with visits up 17 per cent from 2015. | statistics |

Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch led both periods in terms of unit sales. This is quite a feat for Sony considering the PS5 has suffered more from shortages than any other console, leaving it behind both Switch and Xbox Series X/S on numerous occasions in not only the U.S. but also in Japan and Europe.
PS5 sales in the U.S. are complemented by Horizon Forbidden West
US NPD HW – PlayStation 5 generated the highest dollar sales amongst video game hardware platforms in both June and the first half of calendar 2024, while Switch led both time periods in unit sales.
— Mat Piscatella (@MatPiscatella) July 15, 2024
Horizon Forbidden West‘s sales might have been dwarfed by FromSoftware’s highly-anticipated multiplatform game, Elden Ring, but the game still sold well enough to rank in 2024’s top five best-selling games in the U.S. thus far, beating the likes of multiplatform juggernauts like Call of Duty. The no. 1 spot was claimed by Elden Ring, which is now one of the U.S. market’s top ten best-selling premium games of all time in terms of dollar sales.
2022’s best-selling games in the U.S. year-to-date are as follows:
- Elden Ring
- LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
- Pokemon Legends: Arceus
- Horizon Forbidden West
- MLB The Show 22

VT is the third most forested of the lower 48 states, with approximately 4.6 million acres of forestland. But in a concerning trend, the state is actually losing forest cover due to parcelization, subdivision, and the subsequent development of land.
Tracking Parcelization Over Time examines key parcelization trends from 2004-2016, such as:
- The amount of land in larger parcels is shrinking, while the amount of land in smaller parcels is increasing.
- The number of large parcels (50 acres of larger) declined over the study period, while the number of parcels less than 50 acres increased by 8,746 parcels.
- The amount of “woodland,” which represents mostly undeveloped forestland (there may be a seasonal camp), decreased by 147,684 acres, or approximately 12-15% over the study period.
- Residential acreage increased by 162,670 acres, which is a 7% increase over the study period.

In 2019 the government envisioned a UK free of period poverty and shame by 2025 but the reality falls far short of that.
Despite the UK government committing to provide free period products in schools and colleges in England in 2020 and the Welsh & Scottish governments introducing similar schemes, the support is not reaching those that need it most:
Young people are sick of missing out on class, sports and other opportunities because their society won’t prioritise their basic needs. They are done with feeling ashamed and are claiming their right to menstruate with dignity in UK schools.
We’re calling for action from schools, local and national government on shame free access to period products, information and support for all students.
On Global Menstrual Health Day (28th May) you can help make your right to period products and education in school a reality:
View our information for schools and college, and how you can help with the campaign here.
The live tracker on the every period counts campaign page displays a live estimate of the number of school periods (or lessons) that have been missed in the UK due to period poverty, inequality and shame so far this academic year.
We have combined ONS data about population levels, the UK government’s own estimates of the percentage of people menstruating in different age categories, and data on average school absence due to periods from a 2019 whitepaper (available here: https://www.phs.co.uk/media/2401/phs_periodpovery-whitepaper.pdf) to produce this estimate and have assumed a school day contains 8 periods. We have contacted the Department for Education to request more up to date data if available and will update the counter accordingly.
Although the 2019 whitepaper predates the introduction of the free period product schemes now in operation in England, Scotland, and Wales, other evidence (outlined above) suggests that this problem is getting worse, not better and we believe this data to be the most-up-to-date available. | statistics |

But dig a little deeper and there are some more troubling indicators. There is a clear difference of opinion about Lafayette’s quality of life between people who live in the city of Lafayette and those who don’t. The big thrust: A small majority of city residents feel like Lafayette is heading in the wrong direction. But non-city residents think we’re on the right track. | statistics |

About 70% of the total population is rural and the average literacy rate of about 66% among males and 49% among female. The health status of the country in general is appalling and this is being reflected in its key health indicators as below.
According to the Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (2008) as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) 2010 reports, the average life expectancy is 57 and 63 years for males and females respectively.
Mortality rates are significantly high in this country with an Infant Mortality Rate of 56 per 1,000 live births and Child Mortality Rate being 31 per 1,000 live births It is interesting to note that neonatal deaths account for over 60% of deaths in infancy with neonatal Tetanus being the leading cause of neonatal deaths due to large proportion of home deliveries. In 2008, the Ghana Health Survey reported that, only 57% of deliveries occurred in health facilities resulting in a maternal mortality rate of 483 per 100,000 live births.
Healthcare facilities in the country, even in the urban centers are very limited. The Adentan municipality has no medical facility and so residents have to travel to the city for medical care which is expensive and mostly cash and carry.
Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs)
Noncomminucable diseases which include cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers and chronic respiratory diseases are the leading global causes of death, causing more deaths than all other causes combined, and they strike hardest at the world’s low and middle income populations. According to the WHO report in 2008, of the 57 million global deaths in 2008, 36 million, or 63% were due to NCDs. While popular belief presumes that NCDs affect mostly high-income populations, the evidence portrays otherwise. Nearly 80% of NCD deaths occur in low and middle income countries and it has been projected that NCDs will exceed communicable, maternal, perinatal, and nutritional diseases as the most causes of death in African nations by 2030. In Ghana, NCDs do account for significant 39% of all national deaths with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers and respiratory disorders accounting for majority of such deaths. It is evident that the country is going through an epidemiologic transition where the prevalence of non-communicable is increasing at an astronomical rate.
Currently the main focus of health care for NCDs in Ghana is hospital centered acute care. NCD patients present at hospitals when cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory disease have reached the point of acute events or long term complications. This obviously is a very expensive approach that will not contribute to a significant reduction of the NCD burden and also a drain on the scarce health care resources of the country. It also denies people the health benefits of detecting and taking care of their conditions at an early stage. A strategic approach in the fight against the NCD epidemic to ensure early detection and care using cost effective and sustainable health care interventions is long overdue. | statistics |

CI Capital (CICH.CA), the leading diversified financial services group, announced today its financial results for FY22, with revenues reaching EGP 3.9bn (up 9% on a non-adjusted basis y-o-y; 37% y-o-y after normalizing for one-offs in 2021), while net profit after tax and minority interest reached EGP 796mn (17% y-o-y increase), the highest in the Group’s history. The Group’s total on balance sheet lending portfolio also reached a record high of EGP 18.5bn, which corresponds to 67% growth y-o-y.
“CI Capital ended a challenging year with a solid set of financial results across all lines of business,” said CI Capital’s Group CEO, Hesham Gohar. “In addition to achieving growth across all subsidiaries within the Group’s market leading NBFS platform, the Investment Bank at CI Capital’s also delivered record growth across its lines of business, despite multifaceted challenges. “The Group continues to outperform its target for sustainable return of average equity of 20%+, registering an industry leading 21.6% in 2022. CI Capital’s cost-to-income remains within management’s target of ±40%, thanks to efficient resource optimization and prudent balance sheet management,” added Gohar.
On the NBFS front, the Group’s leasing arm, Corplease, maintained its leadership position in the Egyptian leasing market with a market share of new bookings reaching 18.3%, driven by a record high new lease booking of EGP 7.2bn in 2022, an increase of 25% y-o-y.

CI Capital Asset Management reported solid results in FY22, while continuing its trajectory of outperformance vis-à-vis the market and peers, achieving the top rank in most of its fund classes. CIAM ended the year as one of the largest and best performing asset managers in Egypt and the region, with total AUMs reaching a record high of EGP 53.5bn (up 254% y-o-y), and a market share of mutual funds hitting 32.3%, up from 6.8% in the prior year.

“With a larger workforce of Egypt’s top financial services professionals, an expanded service offering, and transformational strategy leading the Group into its next chapter of growth, CI Capital is well-positioned to take on new challenges, expand regionally and further solidify its leadership position as Egypt’s leading diversified financial services group, with the support of its principal shareholder, Banque Misr” Gohar concluded. | statistics |

The latest GSI report shows that economic rescue and recovery funds worldwide have failed to tackle natural world destruction. F4B and Vivid have analysed hundreds of coronavirus stimulus measures. To date, the world’s leading economies have committed US$12.7 trillion stimulus funding to support frontline health services, prop up stricken businesses, cushion household incomes and try to steer recovery. The “Greenness of Stimulus Index” finds that total quantified stimulus funding to improve biodiversity and preserve ecosystems totalled just US$93 billion, compared with a total $502 billion of total green stimulus. After non-monetary, regulatory changes are taken into account, such as easing of logging permits, the damage to nature directly caused by the stimulus to date is expected to exceed the benefit to nature from new conservation and restoration actions. The latest report update includes the economic stimulus packages of the G20 economies, plus Spain, the Philippines and Singapore. The study found that, to date, only the stimulus of five of these 23 leading economies included in the analysis had achieved a net beneficial impact on climate and nature. The latest report found that many countries have shifted towards a greener stimulus (see chart below). Most notably, France, Germany, South Korea, Spain and Canada have achieved substantial improvements in their index scores. The United States remains a laggard. | statistics |

1. From the day I started the blog and until the 10th of November, the blog got around 15 to 30 views a day, the highest one being 34.
2. On the 10th of November the blog broke the old record of 34 views in a day, with a total of 54 views instead.
3. This number dropped a bit on the 11th, but on the 12th a new record was set yet again: 117 views in one day!
4. Now, in the few days that have passed, this has dropped greatly, and the total views a day is now down to around 20.
So, as you can see, the number of views vary a great deal, but the average for the entire blog is around 20 to 25. Perhaps the fact that the 12th was a Sunday has something to do with the unusually large ammount of views that day? People are probably just bored on Sundays 😛

Although some persisted in the city with masks, gloves, hand sanitizers, and disinfectant wipes, the pace continued to decrease each day.
Both sellers and buyers were anxious about the risk of infection; agents were gradually thinking the same. By the time New Yorkers are advised to remain at home, almost all real estate operations in Manhattan had slowed to a crawl.
By the end of the first quarter, new inventory and contract signings of commercial real estate companies in Manhattan continued to plummet. Manhattan residential real estate market had 52 new listings in the market, an 89% drop from last year’s 476 listings. From March 22 to April 14, only 209 new listings hit the market, an 87% drop from last year’s 1,603 listings in the same period.
Contract signings and selling prices followed the same drop. In the second week of April last year, Manhattan signed 243 contracts, with a 77% decrease to 55 signings this year. The average asking price also fell from more than $1 million in 2019 to $850,000 this year.
Sellers have started to take their houses off the market, with 157 properties dropping, a 17 percent spike from last year’s 134. Even, the downturn is much smaller than in mid-March, when nearly 450 homes were taken offline as commercial real estate companies in Manhattan started to shut down.
Moreover, sellers are waiting for longer to find takers as bidders attempt to hold out for the best deal. In the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan, where the average selling price was $3.1 million during the first quarter, properties lasted a total of 142 days on the market before entering into the deal. On average, Manhattan homes are sold on the market after 320 days. The median-day trading trend in has risen since March, and slightly up from last year.
No one knows what the future holds. In the meantime, Manhattan residential and commercial brokers are attempting to handle the transactions that they have in the queue. Several customers are postponing the closures to see where things are a month from now. Others are seeking to re-negotiate their contract rates to reflect the overall volatility and declining value of their stock holdings.

We celebrate the success of each and every individual pupil and say “Well Done” to all. Some individuals worthy of special note include our Head Boy and Head Girl – Tom Lloyd (Borras Park Primary) and Charlotte Hawkins (St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School) who, along with Grace Amedor (St. Giles Primary), Cara Bird (St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School) and Cara Roberts (Acton Primary) achieved a stunning 14 or more A*/A grades. In addition to this, a fifth of our Year 11 Pupils achieved 10 or more of the top A*/A grades, and 28% of pupils achieving the coveted 5 or more A/A* grades. This continues to be a real strength of the school and makes up part of the 23% of A*/A grades achieved (out of all grades awarded)
Once again there has been a superb performance in the core subjects, particularly in the three separate GCSE Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) where over 50% of pupils achieved A/A* grades. In each of the above, 100% of pupils achieved A*-C grades. GCSE Mathematics/Numeracy, English Language, and English Literature are all above the Wales national averages for 2016-17, with A*/A grades for GCSE Mathematics/Numeracy being 16% above the national average.
As the only school in Wrexham to offer GCSE German, we are pleased that 100% of our pupils achieved A*-C grades, with 60% of those at A*/A grade.
The school is also celebrating excellent Welsh Baccalaureate results, and outstanding success in the new Skills Challenge certificate where 91% of the cohort achieved a GCSE A*-C grade, and 31% of the cohort achieving A*/A grades.
As ever, a huge proportion of our pupils enjoy significant success, and this has led to be the best ever results for some of our other subjects including GCSE English Language and GCSE PE.
The culmination of the hard work and commitment of the school’s Year 11 pupils, the support from parents/carers and the talent and dedication of the teaching and support staff at the school sees outstanding performance. So, yet again, this sees St. Joseph’s building on the strong success of previous years and delivering excellent qualifications for its pupils, and maximizing their prospects of entering the sixth form/further education pathway of their choice.
The outstanding achievements and results of this Year 11 cohort are the fruition of five years of dedication and determination, where the pupils and staff of St. Joseph’s – who in partnership with our parents work tirelessly to ensure that every child reaches their full potential. I am delighted with the academic success that our pupils have enjoyed today, and I am proud that alongside this, they have grown to become mature young adults ready to play a full part in society. It is my prayer that they continue to be richly blessed in the next stage of their learning
– Mr C. Wilkinson,

I didn’t do this last winter, but recently suspected there were less around, so I did a count today.
Last time, the counts were around 200, in fact 208 on Nov 10 2010 and 235 on Nov 24. Today there were just 60, of which half were in the Glyne Gap area; there were 10 around the fishing boats at Hastings, and just 11 off Bexhill. This seems a worrying reduction and I will repeat the count later on to see if it’s consistent. | statistics |

The actual number could be higher since a significant number of killings may not have been reported at all.
The majority of the victims documented were men, with around 9.3 per cent women. In addition, the list includes 8,803 minors, including 2,165 children under the age of ten.
“The killers, destroyers and torturers in Syria have been empowered and emboldened by the international paralysis,” UN Human Rights Chief Navi Pillay said.
