There is no study about the age distribution of our users, the only knowledge about it relies on a questionnaire we made last year. The people who answered our questionnaire, where
under 18 years 14%
18-35 21%
36-45 12%
46-55 26%
56-65 21%
over 65 6%
This tells off course firstly about who answers questionnaires, but also something about our users. As you can see the age distribution is quite even, whe have people asking questions from every age group.
The is a power-point about the questionnaire, but it is in Finnish. It can be found under this page, which tells about our national meeting day http://www.kirjastot.fi/Page/15c00449-390e-4489-ba31-b9f49ab0e267.aspx , questionnaire slides http://www.kirjastot.fi/File/33c525c4-72ee-4e...st%c3%…

The most famous classic about sociological aspects of suicide is Émile Durkheim's "Suicide: A Study in Sociology", which was originally published in 1897. The book is still relevant and many studies concerning suicide has Durkheim as the starting point.

Here you can read about the flora in the Daintree Rainforest, Australia: http://www.daintreerainforest.com/flora.html. They say on this site, that the Daintree rainforest is home to one of the highest populations of primitive flowering plants in the world. These ancient plant families may hold secrets to a number of unanswered questions regarding the origins of the flowering plants - plants on which the human race depends for food and medicines.
In the Daintree Rainforest many of the plants are deadly poisonous. Medicine plants are often poisonous if wrongly used. There are also plants that are harmful when touched.
