I have a transactional database, approximately 120 million records and 100 variables across.
A record is entered and then goes through several changes before it's finalized, with each change entered as a distinct transaction.
If I look at only final records I have only 30million so on average a record goes through 4 changes.
I'm relatively new to this database and the main field doesn't change much but I'd like to find the best way to identify which fields are changing the most between the transactions until the finalization.
Any suggestions on how to efficiently analyze/solve this?
Efficiently, no.
However, if you are looking for estimates, start with a random sample of transaction sets and use PROC COMPARE on the pairwise evolution. You can output the results and summarize over time. 5,000 sets is probably enough to get a handle on what is happening on average. If you are searching for the unique or outlier changes, you are stuck with working with the entire dataset.
You could use an audit trail when that transactional database is a SAS dataset http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrcon/67885/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0ndg2uekz7qkbn1caok...
The same concept is used in OLTP DBMS systems alsof often names as journals or log files. They can be used to roll-back / roll-forward recovery processes.
When that is used those updates are commonly getting out of sync with extracted versions.

The Anglo-Irish Lords of that conquered land in the 16 and 1700s were in the custom of abducting women for rape, even the daughters of other lords, even as they raped and then sold their female servants into plantation bondage for the crime of getting pregnant. Their chattel buyers in the American Plantations shared their culture, their constant use of the word bitch to describe women of servile status and also speculated in African slave flesh as well as white slaves. Many of the habits of modern black Americans, including the ubiquitous use of the words, bitch, fuck and nigger and such speech patterns as adding an 's' onto a non-pluralized word, rampant gambling and flamboyant dress have been traced by academics to the English gentry and working class, not West Africa, to which musical and oral traditions and other aspects of African American language may be traced.
Last night, at 10:45, on the #55 bus to Middle River, Miss Jenny, a school janitor, described an incident that might have come right out of the trial of Richard Angelssey and his kidnapped, enslaved and disinherited nephew, Jemmy:
"When I was coming out to the bus stop before the sun was all together down, to wait for the bus that did not care to stop—unlike this nice fellow here—there was this girl from an after school program walking along the sidewalk, face in her phone. She was a pretty little thing, I'll giver her that, fifteen-sixteen at the most.
"A dark van with the siding door on the side pulls up right next to her with two boys in the front and she does not notice. The door slides open and there is a boy there reaching out to grab her and drag her in—but he sees me and I fix him with the stare and he slammed the door shut in a panic and the van drove off, bumping into two parked cars in their haste. The stupid girl then turns to me and says, 'Did you see that, that van busting into those cars?'
"I told her, 'Little girl, you best have a care and keep your nose out that fool phone. They was snatching you up except for me being here. But for the luck of me standing here you would be getting hauled off to Lord knows where for you know what!'
"I tell you, men, the world's gone crazy and and the rapture is past due for coming. It ain't no game out here. The Devil don't play and his minions are everywhere!"

Those oil lamps can come in mighty handy. Make sure you have some fuel on hand as well as extra wicks and matches.ReplyDeleteReplies
Swamp Dog, Oil lamps are most definitely handy. I have two already and wanted more. Then I came across these yesterday and thought what a deal and snatched them up. We made sure to have plenty of fuel and matches on hand. But we will have to buy some more wicks. Thanks and have a great day.Delete
Sandy - that's an awesome looking lasagna and baguette - yummeh! i was planning on putting my tomatoe's out today but it's a little cloudy and cool so i think i will wait until tomorrow. good find on the mixer and oil lamps!!!ReplyDelete
your friend,
Sweet Kymber, Everyone loved the lasagna. I used fresh spinach from my garden that I had froze in it and homemade sauce. I wish I was so inclined to make the pasta and cheese, lol....but not, I had them on my shelves and refrigerator from the store.Delete
I would wait too on putting tomatoes out if it's too hot. Yes, I was happy when I found the mixer and lamps. I have a list of small appliances I want to get that don't run on electricity. The Flea Market is a great place to find them, as long as there not badly used.
Have a wonderful Sunday, give Jam a hug and don't work to hard.
Your Friend,

The Cimmerians are probably the last wave of migration (around 700 BCE) from the R1b homeland. No, cimmerians was R1a
Germanic people (Makromannes) claim (partial) Cimmerian ancestry.
The ancient proto-Germanic people: The three main haplogroups associated with Germanic people are I1, I2b1 and R1b-U106.
No, R1b-U106 was Westgermans, I & R1a was Germans – exactly Ur-Germans.
In Neolithic times, it was at the centre of the Danubian cultures, which was composed of I2 hunter-gatherers (soon converted to farming) and E-V13 farmers from Thessaly. Then came the Slavic invasion (around 3,000 BCE), followed by the Proto-Italo-Celts and Alpine Celts (2,000 BCE to 200 BCE), who brought respectively R1a and R1b to the region.
Give me one neolithic mummy of R1b in Europe!!!! Who you found neolithic R1b in europe?
Neolithikum that means 7000BC – 3000 BC. In this time is only R1a, I, G predominant in europe.
A bit J2, E-V13 is NOT RELEVANT. That is a result of SeaTrading.
No Saami N, no Keltic/Westgerman R1b nothing.
All Northern Europeans R1a and I was lactosetolerant. Look after a lactosemap of europe and you found northeuropeans in Iberia, England, Ireland, France, northern Italy. 3000 years earlier as anglosaxons.
The rest of europe was dominant southeuropean (means R1a, I and G from balkan cultures).
Haplogroup G and southern europe R1a was not lactosetolerant, LBK was not lactosetolerant.
Today, R1a and G is rare in Westeuropa. Today, R1a is rare in Germany.
Bellbeaker/Westgermans have killed the complete local population in West Europe and in Germany.
You write Migration of R1a from East, sorry, the population in Ukraine/Belarus are younger as the population of europe. The way was a expansion from Easteuropa to Asia (over Ukraine and Belarus).
And Daanan was not E-V13, that means Danan, Danisch people, NorthEuropeans.
The macedones was Oldeuropeans, Epirus (Albania) and Karer was oldeuropeans. They all was R1a, I or G with parts from E (from Egypt) and J2 (from Anatolia).
You see lots of "kelts"… give me a celtic mummy what from neolitic europe.
that is a fix idea – but the rest, great work
greets from vanaland
The ancient Egyptians: Based on the modern population of Egypt, and removing the foreign elements, it is reasonable to assume that the ancient Egyptians belonged primarily to haplogroups E1b1b and T. Nowadays about half of the Egyptian paternal lines could be descended from invaders, notably from the Arabic peninsula (hg J1, about 1/3 of the population), but also from Greece, Anatolia and Persia.
The ancient Slavs: Present-day Eastern Slavs are descended from the ancient Kurgan culture of the Eurasian steppes. The Scythians were the branch of R1a that remained in the steppes of from whom modern Russians are descended (along with other haplogroups). Slavic Europeans belonged to haplogroup R1a and I2. Southern Slavs have a much higher proportion of I2 (notably in the Croatia). Eastern Europeans from the Danubian basin and the Balkans have also inherited a sizeable percentage of haplogroup E (and some G and T) from…

After her three-week fast (she's very spiritual, you know), Samantha got to eat this morning! She got 15mL (about one tablespoon) of formula consisting of medium fatty acids. Sounds yummy to me! She took about 12mL of it, and she's still trying to remember how to swallow. Apparently she's been watching her sister drink, because half of it ended up on her shirt. But, she did get some down, and she seemed really content afterwards and didn't even want to suck on her hand or a pacifier. I can't imaging what it was like to be hungry all that time! She is now having her breathing checked every hour in addition to her monitors, because if she is going to start reaccumulating fluid in her lungs, it will happen fairly quickly. So, pray that there are no leaks! The best-case scenario is that they will let her go home in 48 hours (Saturday) with her PICC line, but there are a lot of factors involved, such as protein levels, blood sugar, chest X-rays, the list goes on. We'll keep you updated; enjoy your Thanksgiving!

As soon as we can find the refurbished part amongst our BLOOPERS part suppliers we will send you a quote via e-mail.

There is a rule in Geordie's class about listening;
-First time you are spoken too you are put on 'green'
-Second time you are spoken too you are put on 'yellow'
-Third time you are spoken too you are put on 'red' and a note goes home to your parents that needs to be signed by one of them.
In the first two weeks of school this year, we had one. Now, in the last two weeks of school we have another.
Truthfully, I'm kind of proud that we have only (knock on wood) had two. Thought that there might be more due to his negotiating skills and stubbornness that could give his Uncle Greg a run for his money.
Here are the 3 this time;
(1) Green - Had to be asked several times to sit up during circle time.
(2) Yellow - Yelling on the way back from the bathroom, after he was told that quiet voices were to be used.
and finally, the one that does not surprise me what-so-ever at all...
(3) Red - Using the building blocks in the classroom as a skateboard immediately after he was told that was not what they were used for and that he was to put them away.

The delinquency rate on first-lien mortgage loans on 1-4 unit residential properties fell at a seasonally adjusted rate of 4.77% in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31. It marked the lowest level since Q3 2009.
National Association of Home Builders economist Michael Neal stated that during the 2002-2005 period, foreclosure starts remained low and mostly steady but a gradual climb began in 2006, peaking at 1.27% in 2010. Since that high mark, foreclosure start rate of mortgages secured by 1-4 unit family homes has dropped and is now more closely aligned with the levels recorded before the economic crisis.
Not only are delinquency rates now falling but foreclosure starts rates are at their lowest level since Q2 2013.

Q: I have been arguing with my cousin for the past week on whether or not Shawn Kemp of the Seattle SuperSonics went to college before entering the National Basketball Association. He says that he did not go to college. I read in the May 29 edition of Jet magazine that there were only three people who made the jump from high school to the pros. They are Moses Malone, Darryl Dawkins and Bill Willoughby. Even after giving him the proof, he still does not believe me. Can you please settle this debate? - L.B., Locust Hill
A: We're talking technicalities here. What we mean to say is, both of you are right - sort of.

Eureka has tied its all-time record high temperature this morning at 87 degrees Fahrenheit, and there is still time for that record to be broken, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Aylward in Eureka.
"This is very unusual warmth for the coast so we don't think about it very often," Aylward said.
The all-time record for Eureka was originally set on Oct. 26, 1993, according to Aylward.
The Humboldt County Airport in McKineylville reached 96 degrees Fahrenheit this morning, breaking the all-time record of 94 degrees, Aylward said. Fortuna hit over 100 degrees Fahrenheit after noon, according the weather service.
While some inland areas like Bridgeville are reaching temperatures in the high 90s, Willow Creek was in the 70s this morning.
"They're shrouded there in the [wildfire] smoke," Aylward said. "It's the only benefit of having the smoke."
Aylward called for local residents to stay hydrated during the heat, which is expected to continue through the weekend.
"Once you're in the 90s, it can get to you pretty fast," Aylward said.
Will Houston can be reached at 707-441-0504.

Our old home has an actual catwalk around the outside on the second story--just enough of a ledge for a cat. I clicked this photo of our black cat "Snow" as she surveyed her world from the catwalk. I posterized it, and it came out so well, I thought I'd share it with you. As you can see, she has personality in spades!

It reminds me that when we perch ourselves on a higher ledge we can more easily see the patterns of the many stories that are being woven together all around us.

text: In January, we launched a Know Your Rights campaign to educate domestic workers about their rights under the newly passed Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. In addition to doing Know Your Rights outreach and education in the parks and on the streets of NYC, DWU has launched a new multi-media Know Your Rights website. The website features extensive resources for domestic workers as well as employers, with thanks to the National Employment Law Project and the Urban Justice Center. DWU also partnered with People's Production House to develop an interactive Frequently Asked Questions component to the website. Through audio clips and comic book style illustrations, the program outlines answers to some of domestic workers' most common concerns. The audio clips were recorded by DWU members in English and in Spanish and are also accessible through a telephone hotline. The recordings are designed to sound like a call-in talk show to provide a fun and engaging way of disseminating information that will be invaluable toward standard setting in the domestic work industry. You can check out the new Domestic Workers Bill of Rights website at http://www.knowyourrightsny.org.

The final bird photos from this particular day are of Tropicbirds, a bird I haven't had much of an opportunity to get decent closeup photos of during previous trips to Kilauea. There are two types of Tropicbirds that can be seen around the Hawaiian Islands: the Red-tailed and the White-tailed, both of which I had a chance to photograph on this particular trip. First up, some Red-tailed Tropicbirds:
As I've not yet mastered the intricacies of photographing white birds against gray clouds, I had to rely a bit on Photoshop to lessen the shadows on a few of these pictures. One of these days I'll figure it out...
The White-tailed Tropicbird is a bit more active and a bit more common at Kilauea Point. While their bodies and wingspans are a bit smaller than their Red-tailed cousins, their tails are actually a bit longer. They also have a yellow beak, rather than red, which helps when you're on your computer trying to figure out which ones are which a few hours later:
This one provides a better sense of the streamer-like tail these birds are known for:
Not the clearest shot, but I liked the contrast of the white bird against the cliff side:
The selections in this last group of photos aren't the greatest in terms of focus or overall clarity, but I thought they provided a decent look at the birds as they approach the cliff. White-tailed Tropicbirds set up their nests in rock crevices or burrows on cliff faces; in fact, very little is known about their breeding biology because their nests tend to be so inaccessible. While they usually breed from March to October, it appears that during our time there in early February they were beginning the nesting process, as a later look at my photos—specifically the way the tails of some of the birds are flared out—suggested to me that they were flying right up to the rock face, if not landing for a brief moment before departing again:
Finally, I even managed to snag some shots of a pair of birds that seem to have already picked out the perfect spot to raise their next baby:
In this last shot, the female bird's beak appears to be open—maybe she's reminding her mate to pick up the groceries on his way back home?
By the way, most of the info about these birds accompanying my posts comes from Hawaii's Birds, a book from the Hawaii Audubon Society that's been an invaluable resource for me in writing these entries.

Here are some key stats to compare IN CONFERENCE GAMES ONLY:
Offensive Efficiency (Points per Possession):
Last Year: 1.05
This Year: 1.05 (exact same)
Defensive Efficiency (PPP Allowed):
Last Year: 1.09
This Year: 1.01 (slight improvement)
3-Point Percentage:
Last Year: 39.6%
This Year: 40.0% (both rank/ranked first in the SEC)
Free Throw %:
Last Year: 72.1%
This Year: 74.3%
Rebounding Margin Per Game:
Last Year: +5.8
This Year: +6.8 (both good, even better this year)
Assists/Turnover Ratio:
Last Year: +0.95
This Year: +1.19 (Thanks to Ware)
So actually....yes, we are better this year. It does however, seem strange that we beat UF, Tennessee, and Vandy at home last year. But...we also had a lot of stinker road games. My point in doing this article is to show it's always a good idea to look at things objectively when your team is in a complete sucking phase. Until we show significant drop-off (record-wise and/or stat-wise), we should keep the faith in CMF....it would be nice not to suffer these ridiculously gut-wrenching losses though.

News > Article
By Paul Norman - Thursday, October 12, 2017 11:01
The site is located in Stockton, adjoining the Portrack Retail Park and fronting the A19.
Claymore was appointed to prepare the land for sale following an acquisition of the debt from NAMA by Oaktree in late 2015.
Neal Shegog from Claymore said: "After taking on the site which had languished within NAMA, with very little information available, we are delighted to have enabled its sale to a developer of Canmoor's calibre. The sale of a site of this size is a notable fillip for the north-east's industrial market."
HTA acted for the vendor and will be retained by Canmoor to let the development. Cushman & Wakefield had been jointly appointed.
Guy Leslie of Canmoor said: "The site is to be relaunched as Dynamo Park and we are keen to attract pre-lets and presales to the logistics site. There is minimal supply and a number of good named occupier requirements."

I read Catcher in the Rye a couple years ago, and I had it in my purse for a while when I was taking the train home from school. I was a little nervous to carry it around, because I heard that John Lennon's assassin was carrying it around when he killed Lennon, and I was afraid if some calamity occurred near me I would be instantly framed for it by virtue of carrying around that book.ReplyDelete
I probably over-thought that WAY too much but it seemed liked an issue at the time.

Get Your Customers First! Told you it was simple, but you would be surprised how many would-be successful entrepreneurs get this wrong, very wrong. They don't seek out their customers, or even connect with them on a real, organic level. They assume that what they have they will want and find it by a magic genie, or some other crazy notion. Let's stop right here before you make this mistake.
--> If you have a pet product or service that you think would be something that the community would want or need. Go Find Out First! Start chatting up our friends, pet neighbors, family anyone who will talk to you about your brilliant idea. Ask them key details like
*would you find this product or service useful?
*if it was available tomorrow would you buy it?
*how much would you pay for 'xyz'. (I like to start on a higher end and then work my way down if necessary for this part.)
*listen to them, really listen and read excitement cues, and body language this can tell you alot.
Particularly people who love you, I say this because you don't want those close to you just telling you what you want to hear. If they light up with excitement or if they offer something like, 'yeah if I could buy something like that I would' that's the kind of feedback you're looking for.
If you don't get these kind of results, it doesn't mean your idea is a dud, it could just mean you may need to tweek it before you move forward or put up any money. It's been my proven success with finding my customers first that I can honestly say that this has proved invaluable for me.
In fact I had customers before I even had an acual product! All I had was a handmade sample, and they wanted to buy that. It was then that I was confident to move forward.
So GYCF my friends and prosper!

FEM Magazine is back in full swing and is calling for submissions for a January 1st deadline. If you're not already familiar with FEM, it is a do-it-yourself style magazine that has historically been sponsored by Women's Council. It is not quite a "zine," not quite your typical publication. Submit poetry, a short story, an academic-style article, or piece or art, to be included in the upcoming issue.

I hope that preparations for final exams are being productive and time worthy! In the midst of all the studying, I hope that everyone is beginning to think about all the new and exciting opportunities that are coming up in the next semester. I know that I've been thinking quite a bit about some opportunities on campus and in the state of Michigan that I'm going to be taking advantage of.

Anyway, in the midst of all my studies I was able to discover and listen to an Israeli/Palestinian, Ann Arbor/Ypsi - ite rapper from Detroit. Yes, SHE identifies with all of those locations. She has been living in Detroit, rapping about a whole slew of social oppression issues that are taking place within Detroit, and throughout our totalizing society. Her name is Invincible. In June, she came out with an album titled "Invincible Shapeshifters" On this album, she has raps about everything from the "locusts" of Detroit and America the Beautiful (as her lover, listen to "Spacious Skies") to the Palestinian search for a just peace (I recommend "People, Not Places").
 Invincible is a profoundly talented artist with a passion for community activism, specifically in the reurbanization of Detroit. Her lyrics are political, social and just plain RAW. And more importantly, they hit close to home...with the political and social oppression taking place right here in Michigan.

I hope that anyone who reads this takes a minute to listen to one of her songs. I will post a link to one of her songs in mp3 format and a youtube video with her own new music video of "Sledgehammer"

Maybe you've already heard about "purity balls," maybe not, but either way, you should check out this thoughtful article from Time magazine on the subject. Nancy Gibbs does a nice job of offering a balanced perspective on this phenomenon that some of us may find a little bit creepy.

I'd say I still have objections to the way the events are structured, the focus on sex as impure, and the limiting of the participants to girls and fathers (what about boys and mothers?). However, this article points out that many of the dads present are there to commit themselves to being a positive, involved presence in their daughters' lives, rather than leaving all the raising of their children to the mothers of their children. Also, I think that abstinence is a perfectly respectable and healthy choice, and I hope that Gibbs' conclusion including the importance of education and respect for teens' agency is part of the message imparted by these events.

So, President Bush is still trying to screw over women, this time with proposed regulations that would limit federal funds to healthcare providers who didn't agree to hire employees despite their objection to birth control. Let's hope this never becomes an actual regulation, and that women who need birth control and emergency contraception don't have to face even more obstacles to getting it.

I just wanted to post this video for everyone to see. Perhaps, some of you have already seen it. It disgusts me that media is so sexist. I don't know why women put up this this. I do sincerely hope that as we enter the work force more of these kinds of statements will become infrequent.

Particularly, I would like to comment on Tucker's statement stating that he "is not embarrassed by being 68th for having women in Congress" What a ridiculous statement. I don't know if the news stations are simply trying to fulfill certain stereotypes through their news reporters... however, who thought that this kind garbage is acceptable on national television has been sorely misguided.Sous Chef Sonyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097338475266960963.post-18386950073879045212008-06-10T00:43:00.002-04:002008-06-10T00:43:27.360-04:00A call for postsSomeone who has seen the Sex in the City movie should write about it!CYWhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097338475266960963.post-10721541072934911862008-04-29T22:16:00.004-04:002008-04-29T22:33:39.465-04:00Should Women of Color Call Themselves Feminists?So this link to came to me in an email from New Demographic which is a site dedicated to discussing representation of people of color (specifically multiracial people) in the media. I thought it was interesting that the topic of the article was about feminism. According to the article there has been a lot of discussion lately about women of color and whether or not they should call themselves feminist if feminist refuse to address racism as a feminist issue. I do not think this is a new debate at all, but I like to hear if any one else has opinions on this?

http://www.racialicious.com/2008/04/28/
does-feminism-have-to-address-race/

I personally do not have any problems with calling myself a feminist (speaking as a woman of color) but I have always felt that racism was an important issue addressed in feminism. Now that I reflect on my own experiences and some of the information I have read I can defiantly see where some of these women of color are coming from. However, I also recognize that I have some privilege as a white woman also, which makes my experiences different. Although I would say that I identify more as a person of color.

The New York Times published this article about allowing rape survivors to "own the experience", says the creator of these shirts. I think it would take a very brave woman to wear such a shirt.

This T-Shirt Is About Rape

By Susan Dominus

In 2004, Jennifer Baumgardner distributed T-shirts with a bold message across their fronts in blocky blue text: "I Had an Abortion." More recently, the Williamsburg-based writer and activist decided to apply her T-shirt approach to consciousness-raising to the subject of rape.

 But the straightforward approach of her first rape T-shirt didn't seem quite right for shirts she hoped to distribute on campuses through a sex-education Web site, as reported in today's Big City column.

 She and a graphic designer friend tried to counter the passivity of the sentence construction "I was raped," by placing the sentence in a cartoon dialogue bubble, in bright pink.

"Too ebullient," said Ms. Baumgardner.

 A third approach went in the opposite direction: a white T-shirt with one word — "Raped" — pseudo spray-painted on in black.

 "Too shocking," she decided.

 Finally, she approached her friend, Vinnie Angel, a graphic artist perhaps best known for designing Vinnie's Tampon Case. His concept: a safe with its door wide open, revealing inside a small notecard that reads, in handwriting, "I was raped."

 "What the safe design loses is shock value," said Ms. Baumgardner, but that's not what she was going for in the first place.

 What was she going for? A shirt that would let rape victims "own the experience," she says, and would help chip away the cone of silence that surrounds a crime with humiliation at its core.

 A shirt that would start conversations.

Johnny Diablo is trying to save all creatures from pain and suffering by avoiding all animal products and promoting veganism. However, he seems not to mind the "pain and suffering" to which he contributes by running a strip club--a vegan one, at least.
This article discusses the use of women's bodies--often naked or scantily clad--to promote veganism, including PETA naked protests and Diablo's new club in Portland, OR.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/27/fashion/27vegan.html?th&emc=th

While I am no vegan, I do respect those who work for proper treatment of animals, and would agree that saving creatures from suffering is a noble goal. What I don't get, however, is the separation between saving animals and saving people. Women don't always need "saving," I suppose, but they do deserve not to be objectified for the sake of animals.

So yes, these women are posing and/or dancing for veganism voluntarily. But 'voluntarily' doesn't count the influences of a patriarchal culture which might just affect women's 'choices' to sell their bodies. And the thing is, the objectification of women's bodies and the use of their sexuality to sell a cause doesn't just affect the women in the pictures. Images of women in the media and that are projected by strip clubs and similar establishments encourage a view of women as something to be owned, enjoyed, used. These messages get carried out in violence against women, since violence against an object that exists for male pleasure is seen as a male prerogative. The women in these ads may not feel like they're betraying themselves, but I wish they would analyze more deeply the way these images are viewed by people and they way in which they are complicit with patriarchal goals and ideas.

This seems like a prime example of the ways in which oppressions intersect and the need to combat all types of oppression and injustice simultaneously in order to effect real social change. Even if you get some macho guy to eat a Boca Burger in your vegan strip club, he just learns that he'll be congratulated for objectifying women if he just doesn't eat animals while he does it.

Someone was telling a story about an old man in Florida who had called Hillary Clinton a "dyke."

After we chuckled and shook our heads, I said, "I hope that guy dies before the election." I figured my friends would be with me on it, knowing that I'm not serious (I say stuff like that a lot; it's kind of a bad habit).

I was naive. They were almost as incensed that I had wished such a fate on a stranger as they were incensed that I had a problem with the word "dyke." There was some blah blahing about free speech, me trying to convince them that I didn't really want the guy to die, some assumptions that I wanted to censor the word "dyke," some of the other garbage that unfolds when people righteously defend themselves from the Feminazis' Political Correctness, and a friend telling me that I'd taken the feminism thing too far.

Really, now. Calling a woman "dyke" is okay?

I have been waiting to see something written about "The Daring Book for Girls" and "How To Be the Best at Everything - The Girl's Book" and their companion male editions and it's finally here in today's New York Times Magazine. For those who somehow missed this publishing phenomenon, both these two series are similar handbooks on childhood activities and information that children generally should know.

I have several issues with the contents of these books. The authors try to make an effort try to include activities typically for the other gender but a comparison of the table of contents of the boys book and the girls book reveals that their contents are still gendered. The girls' book includes an overview of Robert's Rules of Order, how to paddle a canoe boy's. The fact based entries in the boys book tend to cover history, politics and the fact based entries in the girls book are devoid of conflict. Instead, the history related entries include "Queens of the World: Cleopatra of Egypt" and "Abigail Adams' Letters with John Adams". No mention of war! The boy's book has not one, but two chapter summarizing twelve battles from Thermopolyae to Gettysburg. It's a not-so-subtle message that boys are more active in the public domain and girls are shielded from the wars and battles the boy's book reveals.

A few of the entries overlap in content but are frame differently. In the boys, there is "The Fifty States". In the girls, a similar entry is called "States, Statehood, Capitals, Flowers, and Trees -- Plus Canada!" The girl's book also features entries on science but one of such is called "Paper Flowers and Capillary Action". Capillary action, as you might remember, is the process by which one substance travels through another, like water up a strip of paper. Why doesn't the boy's entry appeal to flowers and nature?

In addition, the crossing of gender lines only works on way in these books. The girls book covers traditionally male topics such as science and sports but the boys book says nothing of watercolor painting or famous female Olympians, entries in the girl's book. Are boys prohibited from learning about "Modern Women Leaders"?

The issue here is not so much that boys should not learn about female leaders but the deeply rooted homophobia. Boys who know too much about girl's activities are ... gay.

Secondly, even if you so mistakenly believe that the content of the girl and boy books are somehow appropriate for modern children striving for some, the design of the books is intentionally old-fashioned, harkening to the time when gendered behaviors were very much concrete and unchangeable.

As an advocate for gender equality, I want to see gender stereotypes of both sides broken down. In this overwhelmingly patriarchal world, it is less obvious the ways in which men too are bound by their gender roles. In particular, when it comes to children's toys, it seems that boys have it worse than girls in America. It is the boys who are less encouraged to cross the boundaries to play with "feminine" toys. Girls have more freedom than boys to engage in play that crosses gender role boundaries. There is a movement among parents to encourage girls to be more active outdoors and play with toys typically for boys -- Legos, cars, science kits. In fact, there's a hint of pride, of nonconformity for girls to be called tomboys. This is evident in that whenever a discussion of gender socialization comes up in my classes, a girl always raises her hand to proclaim that she decapitated her Barbies and climbed up trees. Imagine what people would think if a boy raised his hand to say he played with dolls?CYWhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097338475266960963.post-10509958414901476542008-01-08T10:10:00.001-05:002008-01-08T11:13:55.178-05:00I'd Rather Vote for ChisholmI won't claim to be an expert on the 2008 election, or the candidates. I dislike Edwards, Obama and Hillary less than I dislike all of the other candidates.

Wait a minute. Edwards, Obama, and Hillary...hmmm...something sounds wrong here...

Well, anyway, as a non-expert, I'm in no position to figure out why Barack Obama won in Iowa, and/or why Hillary Clinton didn't. That's why I'm bringing in a much more experienced politician, Shirley Chisholm, to explain things.

Unfortunately, Chisholm died in 2005, so we'll have to rely on her quotes.

"I've always faced more discrimination for being a woman than for being black."

Oh. Hm.

So, why "Hillary 08?" Why not "Clinton 08," or "Hillary Clinton 08?"

I know Hillary is trying to distinguish herself from Bill, but George W. Bush didn't seem to worry about being distinct from Bush Sr. (and in both 2000 and 2008, the candidates with the surnames of former presidents have run eight years after their predecessors left office). In fact, Al Gore's decision to distinguish himself from Bill in 2000 is now widely regarded as a political mistake. I concede that father-son, husband-wife and President-VP are each a very different type of relationship. But I don't buy that this is only about being distinct from Bill - it's about rampant sexism in American politics, which Hillary's campaign has regrettably participated in.

Some may recall Segolene Royal's failed presidential bid in France. I don't recall much about it, other than that I read a column on it by Maureen Dowd called "La Campagne, C'est moi," linked below.

More than a critique of feminism, this is a look into leadership, man or woman.

The New York Times writes, "Respondents in the United States and England, for instance, listed "inspiring others" as a most important leadership quality, and then rated women as less adept at this than men. In Nordic countries, women were seen as perfectly inspirational, but it was "delegating" that was of higher value there, and women were not seen as good delegators."CYWhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097338475266960963.post-77236421312534963782007-10-21T13:30:00.000-04:002007-10-21T13:44:23.349-04:00Feminism is good for your sex life--duh.So, a WC member alerted me to this random article, the author of which sounds a little surprised that feminism makes for healthier relationships and more sexual satisfaction. (Check out the article--I posted it under news--to see for yourself what feminism can do for you.)
Apparently someone actually conducted a study- so now no one can question whether equality of power in relationships actually makes them more fun to be in, or whether your girlfriend would be happier if she wore an apron and stayed in the kitchen all day.
Gender roles suck, is basically the point, and the more a relationship avoids expecting or enforcing these stereotypes and prescribed behaviors, the more time everyone has for really getting to know each other as individuals and the easier it is to share equally and trust each other.
Apparently scientists are still stumped: "While they aren't sure how feminism works to enhance relationship health, the researchers have some ideas."
Let's see--how does feminism enhance your relationships?Kelley D.http://firstname.lastname@example.com

Everyone seemed to like that snake - I considered just using it alone, but I favor collages when appropriate. I can't always count on readers to view additional photos via links.

Your photographs are very nice. I like them. The monkey looks so sad.
My daughter, Melinda, has a picture she took on my blog. It is a stunning macro.

If you're a fan of Gilmore Girls then you are surely a fan of Amy Sherman-Palladino, who created the show along with her husband Daniel Palladino. This duo created everything that you love from the town of Stars Hollow, the fast talking dialogue, the character of Kirk, and the inevitable relationship that was Luke and Lorelai. But did you know that Luke almost didn't exist?
The Palladinos sat down with Entertainment Weekly recently to discuss the upcoming Revival and spilled some dirt on Stars Hollow's all star couple:
"Luke was originally a female character," Sherman Palladino revealed. "[The network] came to me and said we need another guy, so I literally just took a character and changed the name, didn't even change any of the dialogue because I'm that lazy."
The character that she changed was Daisy of Daisy's Diner to Luke Danes in a move that would prove to be monumental for the show moving forward. What was just a simple change for a small role turned into more when the Palladino's began to notice the undeniable chemistry between Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson.
"We did a few shows and they just had chemistry. It was the episode where they were in the market and Lorelai's spying on Dean. Luke was there and they had this scene that didn't mean anything," Sherman- Palladino says.
Luke himself Scott Patterson also chimed in on the match-up. "You just never know about that kind of thing. You can get the two most talented people in the world together on screen, and for some reason, it just doesn't work. I knew it from the moment we met, and I knew it was going to work on screen. We just had a rhythm."
Thank goodness for the change because it's hard to imagine Gilmore Girls without Luke and Lorelai.
Be sure to watch Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life on Netflix November 25th! And be sure to check back to FanFest for all Gilmore news!

Responsive Websites
02nd September 2017
Responsive HTML5 Websites are currently a very popular way to go. Using one design it will adapt for tablet and mobile so you can cover as many devices as possible - this is very clean as you have only one set of pages (no need for anything like a separate mobile site etc.).
A responsive design aims to cover as many device widths as possible with a single website - Large Screen Devices (e.g. TV browsers), Desktop PCs, Tablet PCs and Mobile devices.
Responsive design is a mixture of fluid and adaptive designs. Fluid designs are structured so that they flow with the width of the browsing device, using percentages for layout. Adaptive designs alter elements of the layout (via CSS) based on the width of the browsing device - for example a Tablet may need a simpler Image Gallery or a mobile device may suit a simpler Menu system. A three column layout on a PC may need to be revised to a single column for mobile device widths.
Using one set of code to cover all device sizes is the aim. Early versions of responsive sites involved separate mobile version etc. which caused continuity issues and so on. CSS advanced mean that we can achieve much more with responsive sites - Media Queries, CSS Grid and Flexbox all allow the creation of beautiful adaptive and fluid design elements for our web pages.

One of the biggest goof ups I have ever made with my real estate investing business is hiring the wrong contractor. I hired one contractor from only one reference and that was a big mistake! I was in a hurry and it was really hard to find available contractors. This contractor was never on site and basically just told his day laborers what to do. So, I had smokers taking really long breaks, workers having intimate relations in the house, and workers drinking beer on the job!
To make things worse, I hired this contractor again on a second job! Same story…I was in to much of a hurry and to lazy to find a good contractor. So this time, the contractor stuck me with a $5,000 lien from the HVAC subcontractor! I deserved the hit because of making the same mistake twice!

FFBL – 1HCY11 earnings to rise 103%; time to go 'All in'!
1H EPS anticipated at PKR3.74, up 103% YoY: Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim Limited (FFBL) is expected to announce its 2QCY11 financial result, where we expect the company to post PAT of PKR1.9bn (EPS: PKR2.07), up 112% YoY. This will translate into 1HCY11 PAT of PKR3.5bn (EPS: PKR3.74), up 103% YoY. We also expect the management to announce second interim dividend of PKR2.00/share, taking its aggregate payout to PKR3.00/share.
Top-line up 49% YoY on higher prices and dispatches of DAP: Despite lower dispatches of Urea (-11% YoY) during 1HCY11, we anticipate net sales to register a surge of 49% YoY on the back of higher DAP dispatches and fertilizer prices. Simultaneously, on QoQ basis, we estimate net sales to increase by 82% YoY.
Gross margins expected at 36%, up 400bps YoY: Currently, DAP primary margins are prevailing at USD330/ton, as a result of which gross margins increased by 400bps to 36% during 1HCY11. We anticipate DAP primary margins at USD280/ton for CY11 while maintaining our long term assumption of USD200/ton.
Investment perspective: We have revised our June-12 PT for FFBL upwards to PKR51/share on the back of higher fertilizer prices and upward revision of DAP primary margins for CY11 to USD280/ton, however we keep our long-term assumption fixed at USD200/ton. At current levels, the scrip offers potential upside of 15%, while trading at CY11E P/E multiple of 5.3x and CY11E dividend yield of 17.8%. BUY!
Top-line up 49% YoY on higher prices and dispatches of DAP
Despite anticipating 11% YoY decline in Urea dispatches to 231k tons during 1HCY11, we expect net sales of FFBL to register an increase of 49% YoY to PKR17.8bn. This increase will primarily emanate from 29% YoY increase in DAP sales to 205k tons and higher fertilizer prices. Urea and DAP prices (net of sales tax) have witnessed an increase to PKR1,135 (+33%YoY) and PKR3,460 (+34% YoY) respectively. Top-line for 2QCY11 shall witness a phenomenal surge of 82% YoY to PKR9.7bn on the back of higher DAP sales and fertilizer prices.
Gross margins expected at 36%, up 400bps YoY
We expect the company to register 400bps increase in gross margins to 36% during 1HCY11, where DAP primary margins averaged USD330/ton during the period. Phosphoric acid prices are expected to increase to USD1,050/ton for 3Q, while we expect DAP prices to rise by PKR170/bag and offset 56% of the increase in phosphoric acid cost, given its price sensitive nature. Resultantly, DAP primary margin for 2HCY11 would settle at USD250/ton taking CY11 average to USD280/ton. We maintain our long term assumption at USD 200/ton.
Investment perspective – Time to go 'All in'!
We have revised our June-12 PT for FFBL upwards to PKR51/share on the back of upward revision of DAP primary margins for CY11-13. We have increased our CY11 DAP primary margin to USD280/ton (+USD25), while also increasing our DAP primary margin assumption for CY12/13 to USD250/ton (+USD25) and USD225/ton (+USD25), respectively. As a result, we have revised up our CY11-13 EPS estimates by 20% to 28% while also increasing our DPS estimates by 20% to 28%. At current levels, the scrip offers possible upside of 15%, while trading at CY11E P/E multiple of 5.3x and CY11E dividend yield of 17.8%. BUY!

Book by Hillman JamesReseña del editor:
What is the meaning of strong emotions? What is emotion itself? What is really happening in therapy when people "express their emotions?" As James Hillman writes in his new preface to this sweeping study, he intends nothing less than "to vitalize a standard topic of academic psychology by making the theory of emotion as crucial as is emotion itself in our lives." Hillman offers an informative and readable survey of a range of theories of emotion, focusing on the twentieth century but moving also from Greek thought to early Christianity to nineteenth-century German physiology. The work challenges readers to rethink our concepts and thereby to re-experience emotional phenomena. Hillman's study contributes to today's renewed interest in the history of the body. Furthermore, his understanding of emotions in terms of epiphany makes a stimulating contribution to phenomenology. It is equally thought-provoking for the therapist, the philosopher, the intellectual historian, and the general reader.

A relation between the breast cancer risk factors, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and mammographic density, is biologically plausible, but results from cross-sectional epidemiologic studies have been mixed. Our objective was to examine the relation in a longitudinal manner, i.e., between the change in circulating IGF-1 concentrations and the change in mammographic measures over one year. Data from an exercise intervention trial conducted in 302 postmenopausal women aged 50 -74 years were used. Blood drawn at baseline and post-intervention was assessed for IGF-1 and its binding protein (IGFBP-3) by direct chemiluminscent immunoassay. Area and volumetric measurements of mammographic dense fibroglandular and nondense fatty tissue were made. Statistical analyses were based on multiple linear regression. Results: A one standard deviation (20.2 ng/mL) change in IGF-1 over 1 year was associated with small changes in percent dense area (mean: 0.8%; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.1 - 1.4) and dense area (mean: 1.2 cm2; 95% CI: 0.2 - 2.1). Change in IGFBP-3 was also associated with percent and absolute dense area. Absolute and percent dense volume, and mammographic measures representing fatty tissue (nondense area and volume) were not associated with changes in IGF-1 and IGFBP-3. Longitudinal associations may be more detectable than cross-sectional associations due to the absence of confounding by invariant personal factors. Absolute and percent dense area, measures that are related to breast cancer risk, may be affected by IGF-1. Confirmation should be sought in further longitudinal studies in which larger changes in the IGF system are evoked.

Here's an uncanny namesake: This elderly couple share the same names as the two powerful hurricanes that we're mostly all quite familiar with now—Harvey and Irma—which have been wreaking havoc and making headlines. However, in stark contrast with the ferocious hurricanes, these two have hearts of gold, and have fostered over 120 children during their long lives.
Harvey, 104, and Irma Schluter, 92, have been married for 75 years. The couple have witnessed many major events during their lifetimes, such as the Great Depression, Neil Armstrong walking the moon, and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
But never did they imagine that they would be in the news for bearing the same names as the two hurricanes, Harvey and Irma, that have dominated the news after wreaking havoc in the Caribbean and southeastern United States.
Following the hurricanes, however, the elderly couple have been making the news across the world.
"I don't know how they've done that, to have a Harvey and Irma," Mrs. Schluter told the New York Times.
As a matter of fact, the World Meteorological Organization has been assigning men's and women's names for tropical storms formed in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and the North Atlantic since 1979. There are six lists of names rotated for usage every six years. That means the 2017 list of names will be repeated again in 2023.
Hurricane names will be retired if the said hurricane caused memorable destruction. Seeing the devastation wrought by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, their names won't appear again in 2023.
However, unlike the massive damages caused by the namesake hurricanes, Mr. and Mrs. Schluter, who tied the knot in 1942, are kind folks with hearts of gold.
Mr. Schluter was a barber and owned a barbershop named Harvey's shop in the Hillyard suburb of Spokane. Other than being a barber, his most gratifying achievements include playing the banjo and being a foster parent.
Though the couple have two children of their own, they spent most of their lives fostering over 120 children. Most of them were physically or developmentally disabled, according to the Spokesman.
Many of their adoptive children still keep in contact with the two, whom they dearly call "Mom and Dad."
One of their adopted children, Dona Schluter, said, "They're the most loving, wonderful, giving people I know."
The good-hearted couple also hosted Sunday school at First Free Methodist Church.
Mr. and Mrs. Schluter, who have never been through a major hurricane, were sad to see their names on TV screens, with news of flooding, death, and evacuations.
"I have no idea what I'd do; I've never been in that kind of a situation," Mrs. Schluter told the New York Times.
Nonetheless, Mrs. Schluter offered her heartfelt advice, "If you can help someone, then help them."

If you want to understand why Canada's immigration system works, and why its immigration rate has generated so little political backlash despite being so much higher than America's, take a look at the surprising nuances of Canada's immigration policy. That policy may be softer-hearted than America's, but it's also harder-headed. Surrounding the Canadian welcome mat is a bed of nails.
Canada's immigration success thus far is not a liberal story or a conservative story—it's both. If the country's image appears to be entirely liberal, that's largely because its methods of controlling immigration are simply quieter, subtler, and less obvious than America's. It's that commitment to policing immigration that has, paradoxically, sustained such high levels of support.
Since the late 1980s, Canada has consistently been a high-immigration country, at least relative to the U.S. As a result, the proportion of Canadians born outside the country hit 21.9 percent in 2016. That same year, America's foreign-born population was 13.4 percent. That's a record high for the U.S.—but it's been 115 years since Canada's foreign-born population was at such a low level. As Derek Thompson put it in his article analyzing how Canada has escaped the "liberal doom loop," Canada's floor is America's ceiling.
So why has Canada managed to sustain popular acceptance and cross-party support for so much legal immigration? For one thing, the movement of people into the country has generally been so law-abiding and orderly as to be uncontroversial and barely newsworthy. Canada, unlike the U.S., is a country where nearly all arrivals come in through the front door, in the open, during daylight hours.
Almost everyone who immigrates to Canada has to first apply from overseas, and before they're granted entry they're subjected to extensive vetting by Canadian authorities. Those who make the cut have to wait months or years for …read more

I forgot to mention this in last night's post, but 'The Final Solution' audiobook was read by Michael York, and maybe that's why I didn't dig it too much. Not that he isn't great, but the whole time I was thinking of that episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where he and Ted Danson open a restaurant and everyone suddenly starts swearing. It's brilliant.

I love most free stuff. I do not say all as viruses, spam and grey hairs are free but unwelcomed.
A couple of weeks ago I celebrated my birthday and that is when a number of companies offer discounts or freebies if your get on their email lists. IHOP offers a free stack of pancakes, Boston PIzza offers a dessert, Montanas has an appetizer and my favourite, Red Robin's offers a burger.
My son's birthday is exactly 2 weeks after mine. I signed him up for Red Robin's birthday club as well. Here is the dilemma. The coupons are good for one week before your birthday and one week afterwards. That leaves Josh and I one day shy of being able to go out and both get free burgers.
I decided to phone the restaurant and ask if I could use my coupon even if it was a couple of days past due. They said yes! I pressed "print" from my iPad. Problem. The coupon only half printed out. I went with the email and coupon in hand and to my relief they accepted it. Big points for Red Robin's. We saved $21 and I made sure I tipped on what would have been the total without the coupons. Two happy customers and a very happy server.
Next I needed a cake for Josh's party. I'd received a Dairy Queen coupon in the mail for $7 off an ice cream cake but it was only good for a location 20 miles away. Since I have one 7 blocks away that didn't work for me. I called the restaurant and the worker was not sure. She asked me to call the manager. The next day instead of calling I stopped in. The manager was happy to help and explained that though each location runs its own promotions they would honour the coupon. Hooray! Josh ended up with a cake that was over budget but right priced after the discount.
I saved $28 just for asking. Now that is a happy birthday.

Health minister urges abortion debate
28 March 2017 | Health
Health minister Bernhard Haufiku says the time has come to renew the debate on decriminalising abortion after more than 7 100 women were treated at state hospitals last year for complications arising from suspected illegal abortions.
The minister said 7 335 abortions were recorded at health facilities, of which only 138 were legally performed on medical grounds.
The minister said the vast majority of the abortions were back-street abortions, and these numbers indicated that a fresh debate was urgently needed.
"I am reporting it here because obviously this is a major concern as unsafe abortions pose a major risk to women's physical and mental health. We need an honest and thorough national reflection on the reasons why so many women risk their lives by [getting] unsafe abortions in a country where contraceptives are widely available.
"Most importantly, we need to ask ourselves whether it is not time to relook at the legislation and decriminalise abortion. The facts speak for themselves."
Doctors confirmed yesterday that at least three women had died from botched abortions since 2015, and that many more were treated for serious complications following illegal backstreet abortions.
Haufiku said a wider debate on the issue was crucial.
Doctors pointed out that many of the more than 7 100 abortions recorded could have been miscarriages with natural causes.
Still, Haufiku emphasised that the numbers were a red flag showing that the situation was "completely out of control".
The majority of women who attempt illegal abortions in Namibia are under the age of 25, and many are in their teens, doctors said. Complications from illegal abortions are numerous and could lead to lifelong health complications, infertility and death.
In Namibia, baby dumping regularly makes headlines and some experts feel that it results partly from the limited reproductive rights Namibian women enjoy.
Haufiku warned that the actual number of illegal abortions was probably much higher than official records indicate.
"It is suspected this is only the tip of the iceberg as it is common knowledge that most abortions are done in secret. Often an abortion will only be presented to health facilities when it is incomplete or if the woman develops complications."
He said in many cases women only reported to a hospital when they were already "very, very sick".
"We tend to brand [women who have abortions] as the naughty ones. But there are a lot of reasons why people terminate pregnancies. And these are the issues I want us to debate as a country. Not only debate, but come up with possible solutions," the minister said.
Doctors say between six and ten women are admitted to the Windhoek Central and Katutura state hospitals daily, presenting with complications from spontaneous miscarriages.
Dr David Uriab, the chief medical supervisor at the Windhoek Central Hospital, said: "How do you prove it is a backstreet abortion? It would not make sense to report everyone [to the police] coming in with a bleeding. Obviously the majority will claim that this happened spontaneously, or through an infection or an accident."
Dr Shonag McKenzie, head of the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at the Windhoek Central Hospital, said medical staff are trained and equipped to treat miscarriages in order to reduce the risk of complications.
They also offer long-acting contraceptive options to patients, particularly very young women.
In addition, mothers are referred to social workers to help them plan their pregnancies and to help them cope psychologically and socially.
"A lot of these are unplanned pregnancies," McKenzie said, adding that the hospital focuses on providing long-term assistance.

I scanned the entire thing with Kaspersky 2009 Internet Security on 11/1/2009 and there is NO virus. HOWEVER if you go to the grizl777 website, which is the box in the upper left hand corner, that when you hover over says "don't touch me" the website it links to will redirect you to a phishing website so DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK. If you DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK then you will have NOTHING to worry about and everything is FINE.
This works 100%
I give this program an B because of the website link, but in all other aspects an A

Universal Elementary Education in India: An Exploratory Study of Movements in Civil Society
As one of the largest democracies in the developing world and with a large population of children in poor and disadvantaged sectors and not enrolled in school, India has experienced a rising revolution of demand for education in recent years. Even after 50 years of independence, free universal elementary education (UEE) promised by the Constitution has not been achieved.1 However, during the 1990s, the issue of UEE has assumed unprecedented importance among policy makers, civil society actors and parents compared to the previous four decades in the postindependence period. This concern is reflected both in the emergence of movements and initiatives within civil society to promote UEE, as well as faster progress in basic literacy and elementary school attendance throughout the 1990s. The National Sample Survey (NSS) and the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) in 1998–9 reveal that school attendance accelerated during the 1990s compared to the earlier period in the 6–14 age group, rising to nearly 80 per cent. There was a narrowing of the gender gap as well, driven by a comparatively rapid increase in female attendance from 59 per cent to 74 per cent between 1992–3 and 1998–9 respectively in the 6–14 age group (Dreze and Sen 2002: 152–3).
