	Cognitive Daily: Is 17 the "most random" number?
		Yes, "17" was chosen significantly more frequently than the 5 percent of the time we would expect, but even in a truly random sampling of a finite number of numbers, we would expect that some numbers would come up more than 5 percent of the time, and some would come up less.
		The number 17 has long been recognized as the most interesting integer, championed at the math program (see www.YP17.org) from which numerous 17 facts are collected.
		17 is smack in the middle of the second part of the second sub-list while 7 (another high scoring response) is in the same position in the second part of the first sub-list.

		There were roughly the same number of 2-digit responses as 1-digit responses, and a few less 3-digit reponses.

		The activities that provide the basis for these studies are being undertaken by a number of centers of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) and are organized within a five-year project begun in 1993 to identify cost-effective alternatives for increasing micronutrient intakes.
		The project has two main components: one is a multicountry effort to breed nutritionally improved staple foods; the other is the collection and analysis of household data on agricultural production, household resource allocation, and nutrition to provide a basis for policy formulation.
		The lesson for CGIAR research is that ensuring nutritional improvement depends on a multidisciplinary understanding of complex farming systems and their connection with the marginal food intake patterns of the poor.

		The authors show that if governments and the international community maintain recent levels of commitment to agricultural growth through cost-effective investment in agricultural research, extension, irrigation and water development, human capital, and rural infrastructure, there will not be overwhelming pressure on aggregate world food supplies from rising populations and incomes.
		Declines in world food prices could reverse, and the number of malnourished children would grow to more than 200 million in 2020.
		Higher agricultural and social investments, for instance, would reduce the number of malnourished children by one-fourth in 2020.

		The technical challenges of this 1932 "old dark house" mystery are largely what appealed to Alfred Hitchcock, who uses a staircase quite inventively to create a series of emotional and dramatic thresholds from which to tell a story (adapted from a play) about a policeman, a hobo, and a gang of jewel thieves.
		The story focuses around a stolen necklace, and a series of colourful characters, including a cockney who was a scene stealer, a deaf mute woman, a rather nosy lead actor and a number of "bad guys".
