unavailable in many countries. As a result, separate projections are not possible for atheists or agnostics. The projection model was developed in collaboration with researchers in the Age and Cohort Change Project at IIASA, who are world leaders in population projections methodology. The model uses an advanced version of the cohort-component method typically employed by demographers to forecast population growth. It starts with a population of baseline age groups, or cohorts, divided by sex and religion. Each cohort is projected into the future by adding likely gains (immigrants and people switching in) and by subtracting likely losses (deaths, emigrants and people switching out) year by year. The youngest cohorts, ages 0-4, are created by applying age-specific fertility rates to each female cohort in the childbearing years (ages 15-49), with children inheriting the mother’s religion.

Sikes puts a gun to his head and is ready to pull the trigger when Toby grabs Oliver and says

A villain's lieutenant may survive him to pursue you, or you may find you have only killed an underling in the Ordeal. There may be a bigger M r . Big who wants revenge for the loss of his servant. An avenging force may strike a costly blow to the hero's fortunes, wounding him or killing one of his cohorts. T h i s is when Expendable Friends come in handy. T h e villain might also steal back the elixir or kidnap one of the hero's friends in retaliation.
