Hate spending hours in an emergency room for a deep cut or some other minor medical crisis?Now, consumers who are pressed for time don't have to wait around. They can text, go online or download an iPhone app to find the emergency room wait times at eight HCA North Texas hospitals and one free-standing facility. Billboards with clocks also display average wait times as part of HCA's "Moving at the Speed of Life" campaign.The promotion is the latest effort to meet consumer demands for fast medical care at a time when ER visits nationwide hit a high of 123 million in 2008, compared with 117 million in 2007.On average, patients nationwide spend four hours in emergency rooms. Patients with minor injuries or illnesses may wait one or two hours before seeing a physician, according to the American College of Emergency Physicians.The wait-time campaign isn't aimed at someone having a heart attack or stroke, but at people with urgent care needs such as a sprained ankle.It's an easy way to find the closest ER with the shortest wait time, said Winston Borland, president and CEO of Medical Center of Arlington."If you've ever waited in the ER, you certainly notice how much time it takes," he said. "People coming to the ER want to be seen quickly and they want to have good care."The average wait time for all HCA hospitals in North Texas is 21 minutes from door to doctor. The goal is 15 minutes.For the most part, such initiatives are public relations campaigns that are being used in large, competitive markets, said Dr. David Seaberg, president-elect of the American College of Emergency Physicians.On the positive side, the campaigns offer transparency and provide information that can help consumers. On the flip side, if someone is having a serious medical problem, emergency department personnel are trained to triage patients, he said."It doesn't matter if the wait is 27 minutes or what it says on your app or a billboard, if you have chest pains, you're coming back right away," Seaberg said.Other hospitals are offering their own fast-service campaigns.Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano is advertising a 30-minute promise to see a physician, said Whitney Jodry, a spokeswoman for Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth, which has a 30-minute average wait.Texas Health Resources uses an iTriage smartphone application that allows consumers to search medical symptoms and possible causes, find the nearest Texas Health hospital emergency department and check the location on a map.During an emergency, people by nature head to the nearest hospital, according to research conducted by HCA. By checking the wait time, someone may find it is worth driving an extra 10 minutes to a hospital that can treat them sooner.On Monday afternoon, the wait time for Medical Center of Arlington was 22 minutes, but about 15 miles away at Las Colinas Medical Center it was five.Even during a busy flu season or other demanding periods, HCA plans to keep the wait times short."We've put in place procedures, so if we get a rush of patients for something such as the flu we'll have additional providers ready," Borland said.Jan Jarvis, 817-390-7664

SDCC: The Superior Spider-Man Panel
- Written by ThanosCopter on Friday, July 19 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: The Beat
Here's some highlights from the Superior Spider-Man panel at SDCC, which featured Steve Wacker, Christos Gage, Chris Yost, Humberto Ramos, Kevin Shinick, Nick Spencer, James Robinson and Chris Samnee.
- Agent Venom will square off against the Superior Spider-Man in a four issue arc called 'Darkest Hours'. The arc will take place entirely in Superior Spider-Man.
- Yup, Spider-Man 2099 is coming. He'll be integrated into the main arc of Superior Spider-Man.
- Black Cat is popping up in Superior Spider-Man #20. This will be an important issue, I guess.
- The Punisher will pop up in Superior Foes of Spider-Man.
- Superior Spider-Man Team Up will feature SpOck making his own Sinister Six after getting the boot from the Avengers (did that happen? I totally missed that.)
- Scarlet Spider will face off against Kraven in that series.
- Daredevil will be teaming up with a bunch of monsters, including Satana and Frankenstein. No, not our Frankenstein. Another one.
- Peter Parker is coming back in Superior Spider-Man #25.
- Okay, that last one was a complete fabrication. Give up Parksnores, he's dead. Never coming back. Ever.
That's all that happened in the panel. Enjoy some pretty art.

I've noticed, that there are now quite a few merge commits in the main
wireshark repo:
All of them are trivial merges, which means, that local git branches
of the developer have been merged by a "git pull" with the global git
repo, and then pushed to the main repo, bypassing gerrit in the
As I have used gerrit for 2 years now in our company, I can say, that
those commits happen mostly because the workflow for pulling and
pushing changes has not been handled correctly.
In general, people tend to work on the master branch and commit on
their local master branch. If they pull a patchset for review, this
will get merged into the master branch, therefore leading to automatic
merge commits by git. With the next push, this will be pushed as
"Merge" to gerrit.
From my personal experience, we tend to keep the local master branches
clean, and allways do all our work in sub-branches. As soon as we need
to view a patchset, we can pull it with
git fetch <gerrit_repo> refs/changes/xx/xx/x && git checkout -b
review_branch FETCH_HEAD
into a new branch. This keeps the work branches clean and more
importantly the master branch clean as well.
The remote branch you push to will allways be determined by the
refs/for/* tags. Therefore keeping a lot of local branches won't
pollute the online git repo.

Shift The Darkness Around, It Won't Help Any
It's funny when people make distinctions about whether it's darker in the morning or the evening, as if it isn't the most obvious truth of our time that it's all darkness, and it's not going to get any better, ever. That said, the clocks go back this Sunday, so the inherent sense of gloom and futility you feel of an afternoon—the crushing knowledge that there's no point to any of it and no one is less useful than you and the sorrowful certainty that the things you spend your sad little days worrying about are just additions to the list of wasted time and chances missed—will be settling in an [...]
Bing & Ruth, "The Towns We Love Is Our Town"
As everything becomes progressively more terrible and the pace of the progression accelerates at a clip that, each time I notice it, seems even more aggressive and unlikely when compared with the speed at which the previous increase in awfulness occurred, it seems that the few new things in which I find comfort are those which reduce or eschew altogether the use of words. Words are terrible. Our only hope is in everyone shutting up. The future is wordless sound. Listen to this. [Via]
Man Persists
I first heard the words "My friends are gone and my hair is grey/I ache in the places where I used to play" when I was sixteen and, at that age, I assumed it was some sort of sorrowful commentary on the failings of the flesh. Now that I am older and all of those things are happening to me I realize that it is a rueful acknowledgment of how even the spaces which memory marks as the scenes of your happiest occasions are freighted with accumulations of sadness and regret. But also the thing about the body breaking down, because what doesn't hurt at this point, right? Anyway, [...]

When Lights Are Low In London
"SCARED residents are snapping up stab proof vests and protective clothing to shield themselves from attacks during the street light switch-off, an Essex defence company boss claims."
Thomas Berger, 1924-2014
"More than anything, the paradoxical logic by which Berger unfolds his scenes connects him to Kafka. Too many contemporary writers kowtow to Kafka in mummery: ostentatiously dreamlike settings, Shadows and Fog-ian Eastern European atmosphere or diction. Berger engages with Kafka's influence at a more native and universal level, by grasping the way Kafka reconstructed fictional time and causality to align it with his emotional and philosophical reservations about human life. Berger's tone, like Kafka's, never oversells paranoia or despair, and the results are, actually, never dreamlike. Instead, Berger locates that part of our waking life that unfolds in the manner of Zeno's Paradox, where it is possible only to [...]
Preview: 'Lucy'
"The average person uses 10% of their brain capacity. Imagine what she could do with 100%," is the tagline for Lucy, the new Scarlett Johansson speculative thriller, but isn't it just as likely that the reason our average brains max out at around one tenth of their dimensions is due to an abundance of caution? Given our transcendent abilities to do damage to ourselves and those around us with that mere sliver of cranial capacity it seems probable on an evolutionary standpoint that the other 90% of our head-stuffing chooses to remain fallow from the firm conviction that exercising even another couple percentage points would result in destruction on [...]

This interdisciplinary study will draw on memoir, reporting, cultural criticism, scientific and anthropological research to understand the fear and fascination behind genealogy, and why it has become the second most popular hobby in the United States.

Buffalo, N.Y. (WKBW) - Andres Bernard has had a tough run the past few years.
"I'm originally from Columbia, South America and I came to the U.S. Five years ago. I've been fighting my refugee status ever since," Bernard said.
He came to stay at Vive La Casa in Buffalo. It's an organization that helps people who cannot go back to their country because of legal and safety issues seek Asylum in the US. Andres and others say Vive is a safety net.
"Now, I can keep fighting for my asylum but I can do it in a peaceful quiet way," Bernard said.
He said that is just what the organization offer. Now, a Williamsville teen wants to make it even better for Andres and others. Emily Pawlowski, 17, has decided to build a gazebo in front of the facility. This is all part of her Girl Scout Gold Project.
"I saw that they had no place to sit and relax out of the sun. I really wanted to give them that," Pawlowski said.
The gazebo will be built right next to the playground you see behind me. It's a 12 feet by 12 feet structure to accommodate many of the people here. Emily said she hopes it will give them the comfort and safety they are seeking.
Pawlowski and her volunteers built the gazebo over the weekend. She said about twenty people came out to help and $2200 in funds were raised through donations from the community.
"It makes me feel really good especially seeing the peoples faces and hearing their reactions when they see it," Pawlowski said.
As for Andres, he said this gazebo is a great addition to a place that has brought him some peace in his long fight for freedom.
"It's like this little oasis in the desert. Where you can just (sighs)," Bernard said.

Employees who have been made redundant will be receiving full wages earned during the administration. Deloitte will also provide assistance in claiming payments from the government's Redundancy Payments Office.
In the interim there have been no redundancies at Comet distribution centres or 236 retail outlets, which continue to trade as normal. Deloitte has clarified that no further redundancies are planned and staff will continue to be paid.
Neville Kahn of Deloitte said, "We remain extremely grateful to the staff and management for their continued loyalty and support at what is clearly a very difficult time. We are in discussions with a number of parties who have expressed interest in parts of the business and we continue to work hard to preserve jobs," he added.
"An in-store sale across all stores commenced yesterday and will continue through the coming weeks. We are pleased with the response so far, as the discounts have helped generate record levels of sales," Kahn said.
Comet was forced into administration earlier this month after private equity firm OpCapita failed to turnaround mounting losses at the retailer.

Through out our world of time.
We had prophets that led us through our lives.
Not one prophet has led us wrong.
God punished many for not for not doing what they where told.
Our prophets cried then beg and begged.
God punished many, many people for wrong told livings.
Some of our Prophets was so powerfully great.
They wielded powers that no others would ever think.
Their preaching's went inside their souls so clear every mind did feared.
They had no choice but to listen to pray for heavens grace so load and clear.
Some of our prophets have been laughed out of town.
Then when they not listen brimstone has been rained to the ground.
Our faith is always on trial.
Please remember our Prophets then pray with a smile.
Be ever so glad that we still have that great Book of Life.
Jesus was our last prophet, with out that Bible our would not be alike.

Global Investing
Fund manager Insight's parental problems
Lloyds TSB's acquisition of HBOS will give it a supersized asset management arm with over 200 billion pounds in assets, but this new funds powerhouse will nevertheless be born somewhat inadvertently.
The combination of Lloyds' SWIP and HBOS's Insight will be the biggest active manager – i.e. funds that try to beat markets rather than just match them – in the UK.
Its access to Lloyds and HBOS's huge branch network will give the funds unit a commanding position in distribution and a big slice of sales to ordinary investors.
Yet whatever the merits of the deal, it is nevertheless a deal done quickly, following the collapse in HBOS's share price amid fears the bank was struggling to raise funds in the wholesale market.
Few in the City saw the deal coming, least of all Insight.
On its website it tells clients of its "solid foundations provided by the parentage of the HBOS Group".
On its website it tells clients of its "solid foundations provided by the parentage of the HBOS Group".
I guess they have little chance to update the website. The financial meltdown stunned everybody.
No one expected Lehman and Merrill Lynch to disappear from the screen at the same time and Morgan Stanley was seeking merger partners days later.
I agree. The speed of events last week surprised almost everyone, even those who had been bearish

Recently, I had another birthday—it's funny how that happens every year, right? Last year I wrote down 21 lessons that I would like to pass on to my future children from that stage of my life, and I'm doing a similar thing this year. While I am honestly writing this for my future children, if I have any, I thought I would share it with all of you as well. –Michael
Hey again, kids.
It's been a year since I wrote to you last, and what a year it's been. Your old man grew a lot over the past 365 days, and I'd like to think I'm better for it. While I know that if you're anything like me, you'll learn best through experience, I still want to take the time to share some things that will hopefully help you maximize your good experiences while minimizing your bad ones. If there is one thing that I've learned this year, it has simply been not to worry. It's funny, there are so many sources out there telling us not to worry from the Bible to Bob Marley (some sources are more accurate than others), but as a culture we don't really take that to heart. On a personal level, it is so easy for me to get worked up about the future, and I can't even do anything to control the future! The past year has really driven home the verse that tells us not to worry about tomorrow. God takes care of the animals, and even the plants are clothed and fed, so won't he take care of us as well? I never would have predicted that at 22 I'd be where I am now, and I don't think you'll be able to predict where you'll end up either, so don't stress out over it. Live a good life, love God and love others, and it will all fall into place.
That being said, life's not going to be easy. When I said things "fall into place" that is not me saying that the world will be handed to you on a silver platter. You'll have to work and put in the effort to get results. Even if I end up becoming a billionaire (which I highly doubt will happen), I will not let you coast by on that. If I am doing that, show me this letter so I can remember. Work is not the goal of life, but neither is it the enemy of a good life. Learn to work healthily.
"To give is better than to receive." It might be cliché, but trust me, it's true. Give generously. If you find $20 on the sidewalk, give some (or all) of it to the musician playing on the corner or the homeless person walking by or your brother or friend. It will help them out, and it will help you. Trust me on this. Don't worry about what the person will do with the cash you gave them if you feel you're supposed to give—that's not your responsibility. Your responsibility is simply to give, and pray. The two go hand in hand.
"To be rather than to seem." I don't know who said that, but I saw it one day as I walked around the art museum, and it rang true. I live in a world obsessed with image—you probably will to. We build up a "brand" online and give this image of ourselves that is doctored and edited to fit what we want to portray. Screw that—actually be something. It is so much more fulfilling than putting on a façade, and you will be loved for what you really are.
Embrace the present. Learn to appreciate the past and learn from it, and look to the future to lay some rudimentary plans, but actually live in the present. Don't be that man or woman who is forever looking back to the "good ol' days", and don't always be waiting for the next big thing. It is hard, but being able to embrace the moment is shockingly refreshing.
Read some good books. Find some modern authors you enjoy, but also break open the classics. Immerse yourself in someone else's life and words and learn from them.
Above all else, love others. Be kind. Be gentle. Be gracious. Treat other people like you want to be treated, guys. It's as simple as that. Before you do something to someone, ask yourself if you would like to be treated like that. Total transparency here, kids, your dad has a really hard time with this right now, but I'm working on it.
I love you.I don't even know you yet, but I already love you, and nothing you do will change that. Hopefully we'll have many long years together, and you might get a little tired of hearing this, but I love you.
–Your Dad (August 30, 2013)

Security firm: New computer virus prowling Mideast
A new computer virus tied to some of the most sophisticated cyberweapons thus-far discovered has been found circulating in the Middle East, a Moscow-based computer security company said Thursday. If a link were confirmed, the find would expand the electronic arsenal reportedly deployed by the U.S. and Israel against their rivals in the region.

High Court slams SFO over handling of Tchenguiz probe
Readers' comments (2)
@'It is clear that incalculable damage will be done to the financial markets of London, if proper resources, both human and financial, are not made available for such investigations[…]."
As Sir John say's if the SFO isn't properly funded and supported by the best lawyers in town then they will be faced by an inequality of arms that hands financial wrong-doers a huge advantage. It is like having an army armed with sticks going up against an army with real guns, something the super-rich are well aware of and know how to exploit to the full.
As the FBI eventually did with the US Mafia, we're just going to have to learn to out-smart the enemy. But it requires resources and the best people available. Are you listening George Osborne?
Why would anybody join the GLS, with all the uncertainties and ambiguities that arise out of being a civil servant at the moment, with pensions being sliced away at? All for a starting salary dwarfed by the private sector equivalent, and no prospect of partnership? It neither surprises me that the SFO struggles to recruit or perform, and it is a measure of how seriously government takes the issue of fraud that it is not willing to devote any serious resources to prosecuting or investigating it.

Posted Monday, July 2, 2012 --- 7:10 a.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Milwaukee County sheriff's officials say they're investigating a fatal four-vehicle highway crash caused by a wrong-way driver.
Authorities say two people died and another was seriously injured in the crash on Highway 41 about 1:30 a.m. Monday. The sheriff's department tells WDJT-TV (http://bit.ly/OUNPAp ) a man was driving south in the northbound lanes, causing a chain reaction crash.
The lanes were closed for about four hours, but have since reopened.

Somber notes: Perez passes and Taylor arrested

Former Yankee pitcher from 1990-1991, Pascual Perez, was murdered in his home in the Dominican Republic during an armed robbery (link). The Yankees 1991 1st round draft pick Brien Taylor is facing up to 40 years in prison for selling crack (link). Neither player had ...

Doctoral student Leisenfelder wins SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — SUNY Upstate Medical University doctoral student Stacey Leisenfelder has been named the recipient of 2007 Chancellor's Awards for Student Excellence.
The award is presented annually to students who earn a grade point average of 3.78 or higher and who make significant contributions to their campus or local community.
Leisenfelder, of Albany, N.Y., is one of 283 students from SUNY campuses throughout the state to receive the award that consists of a certificate and a medallion that is traditionally worn at commencement.
"Recipients of this year's awards have excelled academically and, in many cases, far exceeded even their own expectations in their pursuit of higher education and community involvement," said State University of New York Chancellor John R. Ryan. "I commend the campus presidents and their faculty and staff for discovering and enhancing student excellence throughout the year."
Leisenfelder is a doctoral student in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology working in the laboratory of Associate Professor Jennifer Moffat, Ph.D.
"Stacey's achievement in all areas of her doctoral program has been exemplary," said Moffat. "She has made the most of her education and training at SUNY Upstate and is now poised to launch her career as an independent scientist. She epitomizes the best of what we offer at SUNY, and her success promises to enhance our reputation as she moves forward."
Leisenfelder has received international recognition for her research into Varicella-Zoster virus infection. She is the recipient of numerous awards and has presented posters annually since 2003 at the International Herpesvirus Workshops. In 2000 she assisted the New York state Department of Health in the surveillance of West Nile virus in the state's mosquito and bird populations.
At SUNY Upstate, Leisenfelder has participated in the Graduate Student Association (GSA) since her first year here, being elected as the GSA vice president in 2003 and as president in 2004. She has also served as a peer educator in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.
Leisenfelder received her bachelor's degree in biology with high distinction from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts in 2001. She will graduate from SUNY Upstate May 20 with a doctor of philosophy degree in microbiology and immunology.

The master lives in a totally different reality. The psychotherapist lives in the same reality where you live. There is no qualitative difference between you and the psychotherapist; between the patient and the doctor there is no qualitative difference. The difference is that of knowledge, that of quantity. He knows more than you know, but he is not more than you are! He is exactly at the same level. He is worried with the same anxieties. He is troubled by the same nightmares.
Sigmund Freud himself remained obsessed with the fear of death his whole life. How is he going to help? And he is the founder of psychoanalysis. How is he going to help? All his help can only be a pretension. He himself is trembling. He was so afraid of death that even to mention the word death was enough.and he would start perspiring. Just the mention of ghosts was enough.and he would fall in a swoon. And it was not only so with him.
Carl Gustav Jung was exactly the same. He was so afraid of death that he could not see a dead body. He always wanted to go to Egypt to see the ancient mummies. He was very much interested in the occult, and certainly the pyramids of Egypt have great keys of occult knowledge, and those mummies are carrying some great messages to be deciphered and decoded. He had become aware of it. He wanted to go, and many times he tried to go but never could he manage. He would fall ill. Whenever he would arrange to go to Egypt he would fall ill - just the idea of seeing the dead mummies, three thousand years old, was enough to shake him to the very roots. Slowly, slowly he became aware that whenever he made the arrangement he fell ill - that illness was psychological.
Once it happened: somehow he dragged himself to the airport; even though he had a fever out of his fear, he went to the airport - but could not manage to enter into the airplane. From the airport he rushed back home. He became so frightened that he dropped the whole idea forever, and he never went to Egypt to see those mummies. And he was very much interested in them.
Now, how are these people going to help?
A master knows there is no death - not only knows through others but through his own experience. He has looked deep into his life, and death has disappeared like a fog - evaporated. A master is one who is absolutely free, not only from pathological psychology but is free of psychology itself, is free of mind. He has cut the very root of all pathologies.
With the psychotherapist your relationship is that of a patient and doctor. It is not intimate - it cannot be. It is professional. With the master your relationship is that of love; it is not professional. It is intimate. It is the most intimate relationship there is. Yes, not even between lovers does such intimacy exist as exists between a master and a disciple. It is a marriage. And such a marriage where not only bodies, not only minds, but two beings meet.

Anal sex truly is an art form. It takes patience, practice, and love to do it right.
"Some people are afraid of anal sex because they've never tried it, or they had a bad experience once and never went back." says Marie, a brunette beauty from Spain.
21-year-old Marie told us she really enjoys a good ass fucking now and then, and she wanted to share her thoughts on the topic with our members.
"The key to anal sex is to make sure your girlfriend/wife/lover is TOTALLY turned on, relaxed and ready - before you get started. Once her pussy is dripping wet and she's teetering on the brink of orgasm, you'll both find it more enjoyable."
"Next... get your cock nice and wet with her pussy juice, saliva or a water-based lube. Let her get on top, putting her in control and giving you an incredible show!" Marie demonstrated with her lover for our cameras.
"Start out really slow, like this. Push just the head of your cock inside." Marie sat down gently on her lover's bulging cock, taking it only a half-inch at a time.
"Take your time... It's really tight at first. The slower you go, the longer you can savor the experience!"
Gradually Marie slid his entire shaft inside her tight ass.
"One of the best parts about having a cock buried deep in your ass, is playing with your pussy at the same time." she said, stroking her clit and spreading her pussy lips apart.
"When my ass is full, it makes my pussy tighter than ever! Look. I can barely fit one finger inside now. "
Marie bucked and arched her back as she came, gently rubbing her engorged clit as she banged herself with her fingers.
Her lover couldn't wait any longer, his cock exploded in a wave of ecstasy as he shot his hot cum deep in her ass.
The lovers shared a slow, deep french kiss, as Marie added one final thought. "My deepest and most fulfilling orgasms always happen when my boyfriend fucks my ass while I play with my pussy. The feeling is incredible!"

Immediate Events & Short Term Trends to 2015
1. A horrifying report (see Reuters) alleging more than 400,000 women are raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo every year made waves, although the UN has expressed doubt about the findings, claiming the sample size of the study was too small. Most of the women were raped by their husbands or partners. War rape has also been an issue in the Congo (see this 2008 report from CBS News).
Medium Term Trends to 2025
2. Women number 3.4 billion and growing.
a) The world's population is growing, having reached 7 billion in 2010.
b) Most of the growth has occurred in Africa and Asia. Demographic declines have been found in many European and American regions.
b) As one might expect, about half this total is women: slightly more than 3.4 billion in all.
3. There are slightly more men than women – in some parts of the world, and only until about age 50.
a) Globally, there are 57 million more men than women. However, most of the surplus of men can be found in India and China. And, because women outlive men, most of the gender imbalance in favor of men is in the younger age brackets.
b) Gender imbalances by region:
- Europe has more women than men; Eastern Europe, particularly so (88 men per 100 women).
- Asia generally has more men than women, except in Southeastern Asia, where the numbers are about equal.
- The Americas are close to a gender balance, slightly favoring women.
- Africa is generally balanced, but slightly in favor of women.
- The worst male-leaning imbalances by country: China (108 men per 100 women), India (107:100), Pakistan (106:100) and Bangladesh (102:100). This means that in China, 8% of the men will not have the opportunity of local wives (assume everyone married).
- The worst female-leading imbalances by country: Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Russia and the Netherlands (all 86 men per 100 women). This means that all things being equal some 14% of the women in these countries have no opportunity of local husbands.
c) Gender imbalances that favor men tend to indicate prenatal sex determination and abortion if the fetus is female. (For example, the sex ratio for the second birth when the preceding child was a girl was 132 boys per 100 girls—clearly indicating that if one girl is already had, a second girl is not desired).
d) Gender imbalances that favor women are the result of a different trend. If you examine the age distributions of the population in, for example, Eastern Europe, you see that most of the additional women are over the age of 30. Quite simply, the women are outliving the men by a substantial margin, and thus the society builds an imbalance of significantly older women.
4. First marriages are occurring later in life: but this varies by region.
a) In more developed countries, two-thirds or more of women do not marry for the first time until after the age of 20.
b) In less-developed countries, two-thirds of young women will marry before the age of 20—and in some countries, there are high proportions of women who marry before the age of 15.
5. Fertility is declining.
a) Fertility rates—the average number of children each woman has during her lifetime—have been declining for some time especially in more developed countries: globally, from 5.0 in 1950 to 2.5 today. Globally, the average "replacement level" (number of children needed to sustain the population) is 2.5, but this varies depending upon factors like infant and child mortality.
b) However, the rate varies vastly by region:
- Every European region is experiencing fertility rates deeply below the replacement level.
- East Asia is also deeply below the replacement level: it has stabilized its population but now faces a different sort of demographic crisis.
- Most of the Americas are at or slightly below the replacement level.
- South America, the Caribbean, and Central America are all slightly above replacement level rates.
- Southeast Asia is likewise slightly above replacement level rates.
- All of Africa as well as Southern, Central, and Western Asia are above replacement level rates.
- Western, Eastern and Middle Africa are significantly above, with rates still in excess of 5 children per woman.
c) Early marriage and high fertility tend to limit the opportunity for education and employment in many situations. Early marriage and larger families may be an acceptable or even desired situation theologically, yet hopefully with new advances in distance education it may be possible to provide more education for girls and women.
d) Maternal mortality remains high in less developed countries. Unfortunately it is also difficult to track. It remains one of the UN's Millennial Development Goals on which the least progress has been made. To positively change this, access to prenatal care and skilled medical personnel at birth are essential. The proportion of women receiving prenatal care has improved but much remains to be done.
e) The UN estimates the total number of abortions worldwide to have fallen from 46 million p.a. in 1995 to 42 million p.a. in 2003. Of these 7 million were in more developed regions, and 35 million in less developed regions.
f) Once born, in many areas girls have a better chance of surviving to age 5 than boys. In Africa, for example, the under5 mortality rate for girls is 130 per 1,000; whereas for boys, it is 142 per 1,000. (Although the reverse is generally true in Asia, especially in Afghanistan, China, India and Pakistan.)
6. Women as a group are aging. Women tend to outlive men by at least an average of 5 years worldwide. In Russia, women outlive men by more than 10 years on average. The number of people aged 60+ tripled between 1950 and 2010, from 204 million to 760 million. Of these, 413 million are women (about 11% of all women). Globally, women make up about 55% of the older population.
7. The educational status of women is improving.
a) One simple measure of progress in education is the adult literacy rate. Women make up 66% of the world's 774 million adult illiterates—and this proportion has not changed in 20 years. However, there is reason for hope: the literacy rates of youth, both male and female, are higher than those of adults, which indicates the trendline is changing.
b) Worldwide, there are some 72 million children out of primary school, and half of those are girls. Yet there is hope here, too: primary school enrollment for children of both sexes is increasing. Although many countries are far from universal primary education, measurable progress is occurring and the gender gap is closing.
c) Secondary education continues to lag behind primary education.
d) There has been a substantial expansion in tertiary education, and one noticeable change is the number of women enrolled. There is a new gender gap in college enrollment: there are now substantially more women than men. Men make up only 40% of college students; women are closing in on 66% and receive the majority of degrees. However, women remain underenrolled in science and engineering.
e) Use of the Internet is growing exponentially worldwide; however, although the gender gap has narrowed, women still do not have the same level of access as men in most countries.
8. Women are the majority of HIV-positive adults in southern Africa, northern Africa and western Asia. Of the 33 million worldwide living with HIV (2007), two-thirds are found in sub-Saharan Africa (22 million). Of those, 60% were women. (The other substantial areas of infection are South and Southeast Asia, 4.2 million, Latin America, 1.7 million, Eastern Europe & Central Asia, 1.5 million and North America, 1.2 million; in each of these, women made up between 20% and 33% of those infected). Many of the women have been infected by their husbands.
9. Women and girls make up 80% of the nearly 2.5 million people from 127 different countries trafficked each year. Half of all trafficked victims are underage minors. Most of these girls are recruited into prostitution or sexual exploitation, with the average age of entry into the trade being 12 years old. Womenstats.org has a map of the trafficking of females. See also our Status of Human Trafficking 2011.
10. The sex trade and prostitution remains vibrant. While I have not found any specific globally aggregated statistics on prostitution, many of the larger countries estimate that between 0.5% and 1% of their total female population is involved in the sex trade. In Southeast Asia, the trade accounts for between 2% and 14% of GDP.
11. Women are working, and more of them are getting paid for their labor.
a) Women constitute half the world and thus potentially half its work force. Yet in truth they do far more than half the work.
b) Globally, half of women work in the paid labor market (while about three-quarters of men do). Women's participation in the workforce held fairly steady over the past two decades, while men's participation fell, thus leading to a substantial rise in women's share of the labor force. In more-developed countries, women are mostly employed in services. In Africa and Southern Asia, women are mostly employed in agricultural work.
- In northern Africa, about a third of women are employed; in southern Africa, about two-thirds.
- In Eastern and Central Asia, between two-thirds of women are employed. In Southeast Asia, a little more than half. In Southern Asia, just a third, and in Western Asia, about 20%.
- Throughout Latin America, between 40% and 60% of women are employed.
- In the Pacific, about two-thirds of women are employed.
- In the rest of the world, slightly more than half of all women on average are employed.
b) Research has identified four patterns of participation in the workforce on the part of women, based on age:
- Pattern 1: low participation to age 20, then sharply higher, maintained throughout childbearing years, peaking at age 50 and then a gradual decline. (This is common in many more developed countries.)
- Pattern 2: participation high from early age and maintained throughout life, with very slow declines after age 60. (This is common in agricultural economies.)
- Pattern 3: low participation to age 20, a spike to age 29, and then a sharp drop with very low participation thereafter. This is common in North Africa and Western Asia.
- Pattern 4: an early spike of participation in the 20s, followed by low participation, followed by a spike much later in life (post-50s). This is common in Asian countries where people have an early start, then leave the labor force to have children, and return later.
c) Women are often employed in part-time work: this is common in every region and is increasing.
d) In addition to the paid labor market, most housework and childcare is still done by women. In every region women spend at least twice as much time as men on unpaid domestic work, and in many regions much more than this. Thus most women who work carry a "double burden" of employment plus unpaid domestic duties, and their total work hours are far in excess of those borne by men.
e) Girls, too, carry a larger share of household chores than boys, and as household duties increase, globally school attendance decreases.
f) In many Western countries, women are taking a larger share of management. In America, there are now more women in management positions than men for the first time in American history—and these trends are reflected in Europe and Asia. In an interesting analysis piece, however, the Wall Street Journal questions whether women actually want to be in upper management.
12. Women are making gains in positions of authority but there remains a considerable gender gap. Women are underrepresented in governments worldwide: 17% of legislative seats are occupied by women, and 5% of heads of government/heads of state are women. Of the 500 largest corporations in the world, 13 have female CEOs. (I'm not familiar with any large mission agency, denominational or parachurch, with a female executive.)
13. Women are more exposed than men to the hazards of poverty.
a) In many homes, the burden of water collection rests on women. In many countries it takes over six hours a day to collect enough water for every family (WaterAid). In rural Africa women often walk ten miles or more every day to fetch water, and in the dry season may walk twice this distance.
b) The amount of time it takes to basic household work can have a major impact on women. The Vatican said the washing machine did more to liberate women than anything else (and was bashed by mainstream media, see for example NPR's riff). But then, the globally-beloved-statistics-geek (by everyone including me) Hans Rosling agreed: see the magic washing machine (at TED). See also "Of women and washing machines: employment, housework and the reproduction of motherhood in socialist China," by Jean Robinson. The point of this is less about liberation and more about the fact that any technology which relieves a woman of some household work will have an impact on the world because she will have more free time to do more productive things with.
c) Some 3 billion people live in homes where food is cooked on stoves or over fires burning organic matter. These stoves produce toxic fumes in places with poor ventilation. Dirty smoke kills 2 million annually: most women and children, and twice as many as malaria. Women are more exposed to the smoke from interior cookstoves than men, and more likely to develop respiratory difficulties as a result.
d) In many regions, female-headed homes are more likely to be poor than male-headed homes.
14. More women are joining the rising international migration, and in some places there are more female than male migrants.
a) In 2010, it was estimated that 105 million made up 49% of all international migrants.
b) Fewer women in Central Asia, Southern Africa and Northern Africa ever migrate. More come from Eastern Europe, Central and Eastern Asia, and Northern Europe.
15. Violence against women continues.
a) Sexual assault of women is worldwide: as of 2001, 1 out of every 3 women worldwide has experienced rape or sexual assault Globally, most of the violence that occurs against women happens in their home at the hands of intimate partners. One study found that 24% of dating relationships involved sexual violence, and another report found that two-thirds of assault victims knew their attackers. For more horrifying statistics see the George Mason University two-page statistical summary (2005).
b) Female genital mutilation is thankfully on the decline, although it is still reported in some countries.
c) Rape is horrifyingly widespread in conflicts all around the world (Economist). It has been used as a "weapon of war."
16. Many women have been forced into marriages that represent a religious conversion. See for example these stories from Human Rights Watch Asia.
17. Women who are hidden away by their religion may only be reachable by other women. This approach will require a long-term incarnational presence by female missionaries.
Long Term Trends to 2050 and Beyond
18. The number of women will likely continue to grow, and particularly older women, as populations age and women outlive men. This will be especially true in the Western world. At what point, if any, will they reach a "tipping point" of change and transform population growth trends?
19. The education of women will continue to expand, especially as college-educated women raise their daughters.
20. College-educated women will be moving into the workforce and will likely eventually move into upper management positions. More and more women will become executives.
21. Eventually, I think it's more and more likely we will see women in the upper executive leadership of mission agencies. There are already women on the boards of directors.
22. Human trafficking will continue to be a challenge, but we may see some significant reversals in the worst spots.

Costs and consequences
The British captured some 11,400 Argentine prisoners during the war, all of whom were released afterward. Argentina announced that about 650 lives had been lostabout half of them in the sinking of the General Belgranowhile Britain lost 255. Military strategists have debated key aspects of the conflict but have generally underscored the roles of submarines (both Britain's nuclear-powered vessels and Argentina's older, diesel-electric craft) and antiship missiles (both air-to-sea and land-to-sea types). The war also illustrated the importance of air superioritywhich the British had been unable to establishand of advanced surveillance. Logistic support was vital as well, because the armed forces of both countries had operated at their maximum ranges. (See also naval warfare: The age of the guided missile.)
Argentina's military government was severely discredited by its failure to prepare and support its own military forces in the invasion that it had ordered, and civilian rule was restored to Argentina in 1983. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher converted widespread patriotic support into a landslide victory for her Conservative Party in the parliamentary election of 1983.
