  Worldandnation: Exact count for civilian death toll proves elusive
Exact count for civilian death toll proves elusive
The AP count is based on records from 60 of Iraq's 124 hospitals - including almost all of the large ones - and covers March 20, when the war began, to April 20, when fighting was dying down.
The AP excluded all counts done by hospitals whose written records did not distinguish between civilian and military dead, which means hundreds, possibly thousands, of victims in Iraq's largest cities and most intense battles aren't reflected in the total.

 Summary of Sho's pip count "Five-Count"
An exact pip count is derived by eliminating those errors from the "rough count number", and this process is called an "adjustment" in this system.
In order to get a rough count number after a group counting process, all you have to do is multiply the rough count number by 5, or multiply it by 10 first then divide it by 2.
Finding 10s in both a group count and an adjustment process reduce your arithmetic tasks, and it is quite easy to find 10s in the both process.

 Exact count may never be known - The Boston Globe
Counting the dead from this week's tsunamis in South Asia is a logistical nightmare, as relief officials contend with casualties spread across 11 countries, including many remote islands and villages whose exact populations were never officially tallied.
Thousands of bodies are probably lost at sea, making them impossible to count, and relief groups say the government of at least one country, Burma, is not being candid about the extent of the disaster there.
There has been no great accurate count of these people while they were living" and it's unlikely to happen now that they're dead, said William Moomaw, professor of international environmental policy in the Fletcher School at Tufts University.

 Pterocount.org - South Asian Bat Monitoring Programme
It is therefore best to conduct the count during the day (not dusk or dawn) as this minimizes the chance of missing a bat in the count or multiple counts of the same individual.
Counts should be conducted by enumerating the number of bats on individual branches to create a tree total and then summing bats across all trees.
Count the number of bats on this branch and multiply that number by the total number of branches that are occupied by bats.

 Census Summary Files: Technical Issues
The totals reported in data products from the short form are exact counts (100% count data) while the counts in products from the long form they are estimates (sample data).
A difference can occur for the same totals derived when one is exact count data based on the short form and one is an estimate based on the long form.
Suppression is the non-reporting of data when the total count for the selected population within a geographic area is so small that the members of the group could possibly be identified.

 kirupa.com - Hit Counter in Flash using PHP
What we're going to do is draw the appearance of the counter in flash, write a php script that will store the visitor count in a small text file, and then call the php script from flash.
So that the first element in the array is just the word "count" and the second is the exact count of visitors (right now it's "0").
Since the elements in an array are counted starting from 0 (0, 1, 2, etc) we take the first element (actually the second one numbered "1") and increase the value of that number.

 Lymphoma Information Network - Testing: Blood Counts
Blood cell counts are used during diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up to determine the health of the patient.
Blood counts cannot by themselves determine whether a person has lymphoma but there are values that can determine whether everything is fine or if more tests are needed.
During treatment blood counts are very important to determine if that treatment is depleting healthy blood cells in addition to cancerous cells.

Unless all your pieces are trapped, you must use both your numbers and move at least one of your travelers at each turn, be it only to return to the same field or to have two of your people switch places with each other.
If one of your pieces cannot move forward the full number on a die because an exact count is required to arrive on a field ahead, step forward into that field and then one step backwards for each excess point on that die.
Count its points forward along the track from wherever you enter it, touching down only on those fields, like a knight's move, not counting the spaces between.

 Language Log: Language, thought and counting in Amazonia
reports of subjects who appear indifferent to exact numerical equality even for small numbers, and who also do not count verbally, add weight to the idea that learning a communicable number notation with exact numerical reference may play a role in the emergence of a fully formed conception of number.
They usually uttered a numeral without counting, although (if asked to do so) some of them could count very slowly and nonverbally by matching their fingers and toes to the set of dots.
By requiring an exact one-to-one pairing of objects with the sequence of numerals, counting may promote a conceptual integration of approximate number representations, discrete object representations, and the verbal code.

 Counting Constrained Patterns   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The two small programs introduced here purport to count the exact number of conforming patterns for certain rectangular bit arrays.
The program logic computes the exact count by induction on the length of one of the edges of the rectangle.
The count is 0, of course, for configurations that do not themselves conform and we save much space by not storing these zero counts.

 East Bay Newspapers •
A unanimous vote can be declared without an exact count, but if there is even one "no" vote, a count is required.
Several moderators I have spoken to get around this by accurately counting the "no" votes and declaring, without a count, the "yes" votes as a number great enough to assure a two thirds majority, but clearly less than their total.
That way the dissenters are accurately counted, the two-thirds majority is declared, there is no danger of over-counting the yeses since they were clearly more than 100, and the meeting is spared the time-consuming full hand count.

However, since it’s very hard to determine which schools are doing full-fledged Service Learning, we have decided to measure this capacity by counting only schools that have gotten Service Learning funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service before.

Exact phrases override the logical "and/or" choice; however, you may still select case-sensitivity or non-case-sensitivity for the words in the phrase.
Exact phrases are very demanding about spaces, and thus can be used to search for complete words.
An alternative is to paste a series of five or six words from the chapter, and later search for them as an exact phrase by surrounding them with quotation marks.

They think they are card counting like a pro ("It's so simple!"), when in reality their error rates are high enough to wipe out their edge and put a smile on the pit bosses’ faces.
All effective card counting systems to date required both addition and subtraction, and it was stopping average players dead in their tracks even with simple level one systems (just adding and subtracting one).
Converting the run count to true count meant dividing by the number of decks remaining, which is something you have plenty of time to do: before a bet, and occasionally before a play decision.

If you are using count(*), the database is free to use any column to count, which means it can pick the smallest covering index to scan (note that this is why count(*) is much better than count(some_field), as long as you don't care if null values of some_field are counted).
count(*) is arguably one of the most abused database functions there is. I've seen it used in many cases where there was no need.
Finally, if you have to have an exact count and performance is an issue you can build a summary table that contains the number of rows in a table.

 COUNTING THE POSITION3 Backgammon For Newbies
In using the count to decide whether or not to double, bear in mind that the average roll in backgammon has been computed to be 81%, allowing for the extra plays with doubles; so if it is your roll, you have a decided ad-vantage in this case: 9 points plus whatever your roll will be.
While the exact count is important, you must add some common sense to it.
His count is 12, but he can get off in one roll with double 6, double 5, double 4, or double 3, and his chance of getting off in two rolls (see Table 4) is 78 per cent.

 washingtonpost.com: Survey Abroad Disappoints Census Bureau
The U.S. Census Bureau is counting on a last-minute publicity campaign to boost what the agency's chief calls a disappointing response so far to its first-ever test of counting U.S. citizens abroad.
There's no exact count of U.S. citizens living overseas so it is impossible to gauge a response rate, though other records show 112,000 Americans in France alone who have registered with the State Department.
The question of whether and how to count U.S. citizens abroad drew increased scrutiny after the 2000 count, when Utah fell about 80 residents short of being allocated another congressional seat.

Thus, any theory that implies that the Mayan Long Count would have been designed to reflect astronomical phenomena, be it the precession of the earth or a solar zenith, is a warning signal that its originator is off the mark.
Since the Long Count consists of exactly 7200 tzolkin rounds then the true end of creation must fall on a day that is 13 Ahau in the tzolkin count so that the tzolkin rounds even out.
The issue of the exact correlation between the creation cycles and physical time may not have been as critical in the age of the Maya as it is to us, since creation is currently operating at a 400 times higher frequency.

 Count Property (AddressEntries Collection)
The Count property returns the number of AddressEntry objects in the collection, or a very large number if the exact count is not available.
This is the largest positive value for a long integer and is intended to prevent an approximate count from prematurely terminating an indexed loop.
If the Count property is not reliable, that is, if it is andH7FFFFFFF, a program using it to terminate an indexed loop must also check each returned object for a value of Nothing to avoid going past the end of the collection.
