Statistics. - There is no agreement on the total number of Irish soldiers who served in the British Army and Navy in the First World War. Professor Keith Jeffery gives a figure of 210,000. There appears to be a consensus that at least 35,000 died though the figure on the National War Memorial is 49,400.
At least 43 women from Ireland died on active service between 1914 and 1918

The statistics are from research I did a few years ago.
Suicides data come from Denver County Vital Statistics, which are online. I used the years 2002-2006. Every life has one death. Therefore, what people are dying of is what they end up dying of. Really straightforward, when you think about it.
Credit card debt - my notes say this is from a 2006 article online that cited 2001 statistics.
The other data come from "Denver Healthy People 2010" wire-bound book reporting health status from 2008, pages 13 and 16. I have not checked the link printed in the book, but hopefully that is still available online: denvergov.org/hp2010
(Looks like it's now Healthy People 2020 but has a link to 2010, but my dialup is too slow to check if the page numbers are the same as my hard copy. The library is closed as I write this update.)
Stop the causes of aimless compulsive munching.
Stop the causes of the helpless couch-potato mentality.
Stop the dismay and yearning that bursts out in excessive spending.
STOP the reasons for the rush to the exit.
STOP accepting greed and might-makes-right as valid mentalities for anyone.
Here's an excerpt from Étude Medicale et Statistique sur La Mortalité. A book I found on Gallica. This is the very beginning of the book (obviously), and he begins by simply touting the importance and utility of statistics. Furthermore, in scanning some of the rest of the book (208 pages) I found other places where he does this again, saying how useful statistics are for governments and such. I thought this was a nice illustration of the effort we talked about in class that was put in to gathering statistics around this time period. I could not find information on the author, one Dr. L Vacher, so I dont know what his relationship to the french government was but nonetheless, I think the spirit is captured. I have included multiple other interesting pages from the book, for consideration. He compiles a great deal of data on death and cholera from four different cities. The obsession with stats is pretty cool.

Here’s a picture of me in class right after I found out I got an A on my statistics exam today. I am trying to be slick and not smile with my teeth, because you know… that would be awkward if the people next to me saw me smiling for no reason. They might think I’m crazier than I already am. I am known to be the one jumping up and down when I find out I have an A. So yeah, I’d like to be slick … but, I guess I’ll just smile with my teeth because I cannot pull off that sexy no teeth smile that some people have mastered. Anyways, this caption is way longer that it should be.
Statistically speaking, this is most peoples nightmare?
Personally, it's a dream for me, it's keeping bugs from my garden for free.

This book is intended to be used as a text book for the fourth semester students of Computer Engineering as well as Information Technology as per changes made by Rajasthan Technical University. Besides the improvement in its presentations following major changes are made:
• The chapter on Random process and Queuing theory has been revised.
• Errors and Omission are corrected.
• Solves problems based on examinations of Rajasthan Technical University and Rajasthan University has been incorporated.

Felices fiestas a todos

33 Painfully True Facts About Everyday Life
Danish writer Mikael Wulff and cartoon artist Anders Morgenthaler
the creative duo known as 'Wumo' has created a brilliant series
of graphs that illustrate some of the basic painful truths of
everyday life in the Western world.
Their graphs and diagrams are snarky and sarcastic but, for the
most part, true. This, coupled with their simple and official-looking
design, makes them a delight to look at.

Statistics from the Old Bailey show that indictments for pickpocketing at the courthouse increased rapidly for the first three decades of the 19th century. From only 205 in the 1800s, they rose to nearly 3,000 in the 1830s, then decreased to their formerly low levels. How can we explain these figures?
One possibility is that pickpocketing reached a peak during the 1830s. Such an increase in crime may have been due to population growth and economic hardship. And yet, the police force had just been reformed in 1829, under the leadership of Sir Robert Peel. Did the transition to a new centralized system actually create more opportunities for pickpockets? The Old Bailey website suggests that "in some of the wealthier parishes the number of police officers patrolling the streets immediately after the Metropolitan Police Act was in fact lower than the number of watchman patrolling those same streets before 1829." And why does the crime rate decrease after the 1830s? Perhaps the new police force grew more experienced and effective, gradually bringing down the number of pickpocketing incidents. This may have been a result of the second Metropolitan Police Act in 1839. Alternatively or concurrently, criminals may have been influenced by changes in how pickpocketing was punished; stricter punishments may have discouraged the crime.
I chose to focus on indictments rather than convictions because these numbers seemed more likely to represent the actual number of pockets being picked. Nevertheless, we must acknowledge that the spike in indictments does not necessarily indicate a spike in crime. Perhaps court procedures or social factors made it temporarily easier or more more appealing to press charges against pickpockets during this decade. While court records can be useful tools, their meaning may be ambiguous and open to interpretation.

These numbers are shocking folks. September had 995,000 more unemployed people than August did. Since September of 2008... 6 million and 231 thousand people have lost their jobs. The way the governments reports these figures compared to the facts on the streets is two different stories. Mind you this is a government report too.

With growing population and infrastructures the world’s exposure to natural hazards is inevitably increasing. This is particularly true as the strongest population growth is located in coastal areas (with greater exposure to floods, cyclones and tidal waves). To make matters worse any land remaining available for urban growth is generally risk-prone, for instance flood plains or steep slopes subject to landslides. The statistics in this graphic reveal an exponential increase in disasters. This raises several questions. Is the increase due to a significant improvement in access to information? What part does population growth and infrastructure development play? Finally, is climate change behind the increasing frequency of natural hazards.
