ATHENS, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- Two people died in a small plane crash near Kalavryta in southern Greece, local authorities reported on Monday after locating its debris.
The single-engine Cessna with two persons on board took off from Megara air base on Sunday for a training flight.
According to the Civil Aviation Service, the airplane disappeared from radar on Sunday afternoon over the mountains of Achaia, in the northwestern part of the Peloponnese peninsula.
Due to thick fog in the area, the search teams were unable to locate the plane.
After 19 hours of search operation, a Super Puma helicopter located the remains of the Cessna airplane three km north of the ski center of Kalavryta on Monday. The pilot of the helicopter landed and found the bodies of the victims. Enditem
BEIJING Malcom Brown Black Jersey , Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- Chinese stocks opened lower on Friday, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index down 0.19 percent to open at 3,392.68 points.
The Shenzhen Component Index opened 0.16 percent lower at 11,519.92 points.
BEIJING, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- China's securities regulator has approved IPO applications from seven companies, which will raise up to 3.2 billion yuan (about 480 million U.S. dollars) in the A-share market.
Three companies will be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, two on the Shenzhen small and medium enterprise board, and two on the ChiNext, a NASDAQ-style board, according to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).
The firms and their underwriters will confirm dates and publish prospectuses following discussion with the exchanges.
Under the current IPO system, new shares are subject to approval from the CSRC. China's IPOs are gradually switching from an approval-based to a more market-oriented system.
Since suspending IPOs between July and November 2015, China has sought to normalize IPOs by giving approvals at a faster pace to raise financing efficiency and direct more money into the economy.
The internet is full of stories about how various surveys “prove” something about a man’s manhood size – it’s too big, it’s too small, it’s just right, etc. People tend to put a lot of stock in these surveys, but the fact is, the vast majority of them are not really very useful. Putting aside for the moment the fact that other factors, such as a man’s attention to his male organ health, are ultimately more important than manhood size, why are these surveys often unreliable?
Sample size vs. manhood size
First, one of the primary reasons that many surveys – especially online surveys – come up short in the quality department is the size of the population being surveyed. In order to have validity, a survey needs to be answered by enough respondents to obtain a roughly representative sample size. The more people who respond, the more accurate a survey is likely to be. So if an online survey only has 100 respondents, it’s less likely to be accurate than one with 100,000.
But there’s a further problem with many online surveys – duplicate responses. A survey that claims to have 100 respondents may in fact have far fewer. For example, what if a survey which includes questions about manhood size recorded 100 responses – but 25 of them came from one man who claimed to have a10-inch manhood? That would skew the results significantly.
Sample composition
Another problem isn’t the number of respondents but how well they fit the profile of the intended topic. If a guy wants information on manhood size in the whole population, it needs to be diverse – meaning respondents need to come from different ages, ethnicities, geographical areas, etc.
Sometimes a site may purposely seek respct representative. This can be done for a legitimate reason, but it also can be done to try to push a product they are selling. For example, a website that seeks to encourage men to use their manhood enlargement product is likely to have a viewer base which tends to have smaller members – and their responses may skew results in a survey about manhood size.
Truthfulness
There’s also the matter of truthfulness in respondents’ answers. Many online sites don’t check to see if the respondents are who they say they are – which means, for example, that a woman could easily fill out a survey about “his” manhood. It’s also no secret that men often tend to exaggerate their manhood size. Even in an anonymous forum like an online survey, many men are likely to claim a greater length andor girth than they actually possess. (This just goes to show, once again, the inflated importance placed on manhood size.)
Variation in measuring
There can be errors due to inconsistencies in determining manhood size. If 100 men answer a survey and half of them measure the member while fully firm and half measure it while only partially firm, that would affect the outcome. Similarly, a guy can get a different measurement if he measures the fully tumescent manhood from the top of the base to the top of the head than if he measures the underside from the intersection of the member and the sacks to the top of the head. (The latter tends to give a longer measurement.)
