As we know by now, the LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012) will be available starting on May 1 but they have already shown up at LEGOLAND Billund. One of the main questions of the series was the box distribution and it looks like we have that answer via someone in the Legend Bricks LEGO 交流交友區 Facebook group which are as follows. As you can see, you can still get three complete sets in an unopened, unsearched through box which is great. The distribution is pretty even because there aren’t any minifigure that come five in a box now.Statistics depends on math, like a lot of other disciplines (physics, engineering, chemistry, computer science). But just like those other disciplines, statistics is not math; math is just a tool used to solve statistical problems. Unlike those other disciplines, statistics gets lumped in with math in headlines. Whenever people use statistical analysis to solve an interesting problem, the headline reads: “Math can be used to solve amazing problem X”
The Mathematics of Lego - Using data on legos to estimate a distribution The Mathematics of War - Using data on conflicts to estimate a distribution Usain Bolt can run faster with maths (Tweet) - Turns out they analyzed data on start times to come to the conclusion The Mathematics of Beauty - Analysis of data relating dating profile responses and photo attractiveness These are just a few off of the top of my head, but I regularly see headlines like this. I think there are a couple reasons for math being grouped with statistics: (1) many of the founders of statistics were mathematicians first (but not all of them) (2) many statisticians still identify themselves as mathematicians, and (3) in some cases statistics and statisticians define themselves pretty narrowly. With respect to (3), consider the following list of disciplines: All of these disciplines could easily be classified as “applied statistics”. But how many folks in each of those disciplines would classify themselves as statisticians?
More importantly, how many would be claimed by statisticians? LEGO Ideas Third 2015 Review Results Over the past several months, we’ve once again reviewed nine amazing projects that reached 10,000 supporters between September 2015 and early January 2016, which was our third review qualification period of 2015.

Adam Pally still talks to his Happy Endings costars every day As the issue of dominates the political stage, gun safety at home should be on the minds of homeowners who keep firearms in their houses.
There's reason to be vigilant: Stolen guns is a big problem. Statistics show an alarming rate of weapons being stolen during home burglaries -- and more often than not, they never get recovered. According to the coalition -- which counts political heavyweights such as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg among its high-ranking members -- as many as 600,000 guns are stolen from private homes every year. The group said on its website that it got that figure by culling polling data on households that own guns. The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics last November with lower -- but still alarming -- numbers. According to the report, 1.4 million firearms were stolen during burglaries and other property crimes between 2005 and 2010. That's an average of 232,400 annually. Here's the most frightening part: At least 80 percent of the stolen guns had not been recovered by the time the report was released. A look at recent news reports indicates that the problem is widespread: • A New York homeowner who was identified in The Journal News' infamous gun map as a gun-permit holder was at his house last Saturday.
(Officials have said that it's too soon to tell if there is any connection between the burglary and the suburban New York newspaper's map.) • A Denver police officer's home was burglarized Jan. 15, and his police gear and guns were stolen, . Police said that they were concerned that the burglar might intend to impersonate an officer. • Six guns were stolen from a homeowner's wooden gun cabinet in Aurora, N.C., on Monday, eastern North Carolina TV station . Police said four of the guns were assault weapons, including three rifles. • Two masked men -- one of them armed with a gun -- robbed a home in Milan, Ill., of three firearms Wednesday, the . So how can you prevent this from happening to you? Watch for a post on gun safety at home soon, but the National Rifle Association -- currently in a heated political fight with the Obama administration over gun control laws -- in all types of situations. Generally speaking, the best way to store your guns at home is to keep them in lock boxes or gun safes.
