Introduction

Index of Anything

This is a .html file index to my research files and writing, it just may have the most comprehensive list of statistics and rankings in the world, and I've got rankings by religion, gender, and orientation with all 4 or 5 major racial categories also in some spots.

Some entries give file locations on my local hard drive which you can't look at, but I try to put a good summary into the web index. For best results, go to asianam.htm since this is an Asian-centric database with every statistic every dug up on Asians and Asian Americans. You get the other races for no extra charge.

Files whose location is under priv are often copyrighted or private. You can read them under "fair use" as in a library, but not distribute them without permission. I don't yet have enough web space to put everything on line. Until I do, I can email you a small number of files you would like to look at as attachments, or as ascii files if I have them.

Index Levels - how to search for next level with a
text editor like emacs or vi

Under MS windows, you can use copy the name to the clipboard
and then use ^V to enter the name in the file open box for
a text editor, or Excel spreadsheet.

"The Proud Armenians" National Geographic June 1978 p. 846 Robert
Paul Jordan "In 1915, the Ottoman Empire, allied with the Cental
Powers, embarked on a mass deportation of its Armenian minority, some
of whom were collaborating with the enemy, Russia. Starvation and
mass executions killed two-thirds of the empire's Armenians." "In all
an estimated million and a half died" (That would make it one of the
most devastating exterminations as a percentage of population) The
most obvious sign of ethnic identity - a name ending in ian or yan
meaning "of" or "from". About a half-million Armenians live in the

The Seattle Housing Levy builds new affordable housing in the city for $60-100,00 
per unit, pays an 8% management fee to the non-profit developer. It is said that it 
reduces the rate of homelessness, yet most residents have jobs and a steady 
income (they could probably afford rents elsewhere, just in less expensive 
neighborhoods and used condition housing) Pays $600 in rent. A $59 million levy is 
being proposed to build more housing.

"Report: How to make housing affordable" Seattle Times aug 
29, 1995 p. b3 David Schaefer

The Forum for Regulatory Balance found that 
- 1 bd apartment cost $70,000 to build, would cost $840 / 
month to rent "more than many can afford"
- median family income is $51,500, qualifies for a mortgage 
of $144,000, but the average price of a house in King County 
is $164,000 [that's only 13% more, and only 50% of people 
typically live in detached houses, there's absolutely no 
reason to expect that a 50th percentile family can afford 
75th percentile housing]

@@average size

The average size of a house has increased to 2000 square feet,
average apartment 900.

According to the National Association of Home Builders, the average

Date sent: Sat, 13 Sep 1997 07:09:59 -0700 To: "CELTIC-L - The Celtic
Culture List."  From: Moira
 Subject: Irish as slaves for life in
Caribbean/Virginia

 Since some of the Scottish/Irish indentured servants went to
Barbados and other Caribbean countries in the 17th and 18th
centuries, can anyone point me to a good source of information on the
state of Celts in those areas today?  Isn't there an annual Celtic
Faire in Barbados?  Can anyone give me information on that?  

Actually, Barbados and Montserrat had hundreds of thousands of Irish
slaves.

For complete details on Irish as slaves for life in the Caribbean,
Virginia, and New England, you could write to:
