Abstract
The paper focuses on the family structures, ethnicity and religion in the regions of Lika and Krbava based on the census from 1712. This area, which today belongs to Croatia, was of extreme importance as it was on the triple border (triplex confinium) of the three mighty powers:Ottomans, Austrians and Venetians.Therefore the paper aims to reconstruct and explain by statistic and quantitative methods of the epoch.
From the Paper
"A historical reality of Lika and Krbava regions, which belonged to the Triplex Confinium area, where the three very strong powers (the Republic of Venice, the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire) met was an exceptionally complex one. The area was conquered by the Ottomans in 1527 and during the following one and a half centuries most of the inhabitants were Muslims and Vlachs, who were concentrated in strong fortresses constructed for defense in the case of attacks of the Habsburg Empire and the Republic of Venice. However, soon after the disastrous Ottoman attempted siege of Vienna in 1683, the Habsburg troops conquered several Ottoman fortresses. Consequently, in 1689, the last Ottoman fortresses in the Lika region gave up and their inhabitants left for Bosnia. During these battles, most of the population left the Lika region. Most of the Muslim population fled to the remaining Ottoman territories. The same happened with the Vlach population. They left their homes and inhabited partly the Habsburg territories and partly Venetian territories. In a meantime, during the battles, the Habsburg regular troops were being supported by the irregular ones, which also contributed to the formation of a very various ethnic/religious picture of the region. One of the irregular troops was Bunjevci of the Habsburg border regions who entered the Lika region and helped in its reconquest. Therefore, after 1683 the region was re-conquered and resettled in a somewhat irregular and unplanned manner. Having in mind that some Muslims chose to stay in the region but converted to Christianity after the withdrawal of the Ottoman troops (New Christians or Neochristians), the ethnic/religious map of the area became even more complex."

From the Paper
"In 1798, English philosopher and political economist by the name of Thomas Robert Malthus wrote the Essay on the Principle of Population in which he suggests that population doubles in size every quarter of a century or increases in geometrical ratio, whereas the means of subsistence cannot increase more quickly than arithmetic ratio (Lieberman, pg. 361, 2000). In his essay, Malthus claims that the economic destiny of the human race is impacted by rates of fertility, mortality, population size, and real wages."

From the Paper
"Even though the actual long form of census was not devised until 1940, when the whole country was struggling to survive from the Great Depression, the concept of using the census data to help distribute the federal aid and to benefit the people?s lives has had its early root back in 1800s. Census data has since become a dominating statistical engine driving decisions made by the government or the private enterprise. In order to be able to make right decisions, not biased by either extremes of the population, sound and complete information of all aspects of life is therefore an imperative. Yes, the question ?Do you have a flush toilet? seems to be trifling to most Americans, if not ridiculous. But the fact that there are still people living in the US without flush toilets makes the question important, however few they are in the whole population. Thus next time, if you happen to be the one who receives the long form of census, please remember that ? sound information is the basis for correct decision making?. It is not impossible that you be the beneficiary of that correct decision!"

Abstract
This paper takes a look the process of redistricting in the state of California every ten years, the year after the national census is taken. This paper shows how this process of redistricting becomes particularly contentious as this process is a legislative process and the legislators in power at the time the boundaries are to be redrawn, are the ones who determine the final outcome.
From the Paper
"The Supreme Court of California appointed a small committee to handle the redistricting. Johnson's work shows that although the committee specifically stated they were not purposely trying to create competitive districts, voter districts drawn to ensure the most competitive election process, they actually did through their "community of interest approach" (Johnson, 2005). This approach included eight criteria, one of which was maintaining the integrity of minority influence areas as stated in the Federal Voting Rights Act (Johnson, 2005). With the extremely large minority population in California, the application of this criterion can have far-reaching effects. Such concerns and effects were underlying factors in a number of groups' opposition to Proposition 77. Thus, coupling the inherent problems with the process and the complexity of the procedure with the significant presence of state representatives in the House of Congress, it is easy to see why redistricting in California is a complicated and hotly debated topic.
As may be expected, Governor Schwarzenegger has criticized the redistricting process in California as one of the major roadblocks to reforming the state. He believes that the politicians should not be the ones to choose their own districts. Consequently, he fought hard for the passage of Proposition 77 during California's special election on November 8, 2005. Proposition 77 would have amended California's Constitution by changing the process for redistricting California's Senate, Assembly, Congressional and Board of Equalization districts. Had it passed, it would have put the line drawing into the hands of retired judges ("Proposition 77," 2005). Unfortunately for the Governor, voters rejected it. "

Abstract
This paper analyzes the city of Detroit, using Census Data from 2002. The writer notes that the social geography of Detroit shows a city that has experienced major shifts in employment and a city that was long tied to one major industry, an industry which has either moved elsewhere or that does not offer the same stability it once did. The writer points out that such changes have affected the way the city has developed physically and the balance between urban and suburban regions.
From the Paper
"The social geography of Detroit shows a city that has experienced major shifts in employment and a city that was long tied to one major industry, an industry which has either moved elsewhere or that does not offer the same stability it once did. Such changes have affected the way the city has developed physically and the balance between urban and suburban regions. Theorists note that what is often called the Heartland shows a "nested hierarchy" of levels from metropolis to village, and the different transportation systems bind these levels together. The presence of the Great Lakes provides a gateway to overseas regions."

Hispanics generally do not view themselves as victims of discrimination, but their test scores and educational record account for institutionalized failure that adversely affects them.?

Abstract
The history and current demographics of the latest U.S. census are analyzed in order to demonstrate the changing face of America. Factors influencing this change go as far back as the birth of this country. Issues such as the creation and existence of the "one-drop rule" are questioned along with identity development concerns of multiracial individuals.
From the Paper
"In 1967, in the Loving v. Virginia case, the anti- miscegenation laws were struck down and whites were then allowed to freely marry whomever they chose. (Wright, 1994) Since that time, a dramatic increase in interracial marriages has been seen between whites and other races. Due to the increasing number of interracial marriage and the obvious population growth of children who identify with more than one race, the U.S. Census Bureau made several changes to the race category. For the first time, this allowed people of multiracial decent to properly and accurately acknowledge their existence. Two percent of the U.S. population classified themselves as belonging to more than one race (6.8 million). White and ?other? were the most common combinations (32%) with White and American Indian/Alaska Native at 16%, White and Asian at 13% and White and Black at 13%. Of the 63 possible combinations of racial categories, the four listed above make up 72% of persons of all multiracial persons. (AmeriStat, June 2001)"

From the Paper
"Herman Hollerith
In examining the life and contributions of Herman Hollerith, two things become immediately apparent, he was both incredibly petulant and incredibly intelligent. While Hollerith may be considered an imaginative inventor, he would likely not be seen as an astute business man. Both his business and personal relationships were marked by acrid disagreements. Yet the strength of his most famous invention, the Hollerith Electric Tabulating System, his own commitment to excellence, and the abilities of those with whom he joined forces, brought him the financial success he likely deserved.
Born in Buffalo New York in 1860, Hollerith advanced rapidly through school. He graduated from Columbia University School of Mines at the age of 19 as an Engineer in Mines. It is interesting ..."
