Actually, the first time I went on Flickr was back in 2003. However since I didn't have a good camera, I didn't join any groups. Once I got my Nikon in 2007 that was it, I was hooked!!!
This is one form of social networking I really enjoy. Flickr is listed in the Social Media Glossary www.socialbrite.org/sharing-center/glossary/
I haven't looked at my stats in ages. Heidi reminded me about this page, thanks Heidi... Just want to say thanks to everyone who has checked out my photos. :)
During the 1990s, the Philippines made significant progress in fighting poverty. According to the Family Income and Expenditure Survey of 1997, poverty incidence fell from 49.3% of total population in 1985 to 40.6% in 1994 and 36.8% in 1997.
According to an ADB study conducted by Ernie Pernia and Arsenio Balisacan, however, the decline in poverty rates did nothing to improve the country's notoriously inequitable income distribution. Despite the more-or-less sustained economic growth from 1985 to 1997, the poorest 20% of the population only improved their income 0.5% for every 1% growth in average income. In other words, they slipped further behind and income inequality became even more extreme.
The absolute gains were attributable to rapid economic growth during the Ramos administration, increased foreign investment, relative political stability, and decent public sector revenues associated with the privatizations introduced as part of the FVR reform agenda. (see Globalization Part 1 and Globalization Part 2).
Although the Philippines escaped the Asian financial crisis in better shape than many of its neighbors, the crisis did have a significant impact, an impact exacerbated by the damage done to the agricultural sector by the El Niño phenomenon during 1997-98. Both urban and rural sectors were hard hit by rising prices and a weakened labor market, causing poverty to begin edging up again. These factors contributed to a major increase in the number of Filipinos earning less than $276 a year (considered the minimum required to meet basic living requirements here), from 27 million in 1997 to 31 million in 2000 (39.4% of the population)
Enough statistics! Let's turn to a brief discussion of two practical areas that illustrate what we're talking about.
When the network administrator for the Defcon public WiFi network started describing the hundreds of various security attacks the network had weathered that weekend, someone in the back yelled, as if at a pep rally, "We can do better!"
The world today produces more data than ever before. Irrespective of who produces this data (National Statistical
Institutes, Ministries, private sector, etc.) or by what means (from survey-based, administrative or big data sources),
a statistical framework facilitates the production of trustworthy data that answer the questions at hand. It does so by
making most effective use of data that are already available, identifying data gaps, promoting coherence and consistency,
and helping to focus and prioritize resources for data collection. This session will explore the potential to use
various complementary data sources, particularly big data, for the measurement of sustainable tourism and propose
approaches to measurement when data are more limited.

A magazine drop-out containing statistics on climate change. The concept was to communicate these overwhelming statistics so that the audience found it easier to grasp than the usual charts and graphs.
The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) today stated that for the first time in history the world has experienced three consecutive years where annual economic losses have exceeded $100 billion due to an enormous increase in exposure of industrial assets and private property to extreme disaster events.

I had to be happy to find such a large, fairly pretty building (for Bucharest) proudly proclaiming it was the National Institute of Statistics. Reading on the place Romania has its collection of successful mathematicians.

www.floridaquickdivorce.info/Florida-Uncontested-Divorce.... - You already know the statistics. About half of all marriages will end in divorce. Despite this unfortunate truth, no couple wants to believe that their marriage is going to end in divorce. And when the relationship starts to fall apart, it’s still not easy to make the decision to get divorced.

Dos fotos diarias -salvo imprevistos- también pueden constituir una meta válida. Pero lo interesante no es proponérsela, sino cumplirla.
No sé si es motivo para estar orgulloso de la calidad exhibida, pero lo que no ofrece duda es la regularidad y la constancia.
Gracias a quienes recaláis aquí por casualidad, y sobre todo a todos los que me visitáis con regularidad.

The Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Salzburg and the Department of Statistics of the Alpen Adria University of Klagenfurt organized the conference in collaboration with the "Methodenzentrum Versuchsplanung" of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), the Department of Statistical Modelling of Saint Petersburg State University and INFORMS Simulation Society (USA).
This international conference is devoted to statistical techniques in stochastic simulation, data collection and design and analysis of scientific experiments and studies representing broad areas of interest.
The 1st- 6th Workshops took place in St. Petersburg (Russia) in 1994, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2005 and 2009. The Seventh International Workshop on Simulation took place in Rimini in May 2013, the Eighth Workshop took place in Vienna in September 2015, and the Ninth one in Barcelona in June 25-29 2018.
