My 24-hour international audience

Introduction

Ever since I published an essay called Trojan horse legislation on my "Conserving the Nation" blog, I have seen a dramatic increase in the number of international visitors to that blog.

More than a week after the essay was published, there is still an extremely large audience for that essay, and I am extremely grateful for all the people all over the world who have read it.  I have seen more than 100 people per day reading that blog every day for weeks!

As a blog author, I have access to the names of the countries that have read one or more of my blog essays over various time periods.
  1. two hours

  2. 24 hours (one day)

  3. one week

  4. one month

  5. since the blog was begun
However, even I cannot see more than ten countries on any list that covers a specific time period.  This is part of the reason why I have recorded the names of the countries that have visited my "Conserving the Nation" blog during the past hours and days.

In an effort to document, for the benefit of my readers, the immense additional international readership, and in order to try to maintain the accuracy of the Readership Statistics page for that blog, I updated that page yesterday with the international readership over the previous 24 hours and the previous two hours.

The international readership of that blog has continued, approximately twelve hours later.  The number of readers per hour has gone down, but the number of countries that have seen one of the essays on that blog is still going up, so I have decided to create this page.  There is only one reason for it.  I want to document the international readers.

All these visitors will be added to my list of international readers when I update that page.

Starting approximately 8pm December 17, 2015, my "Water Economics" essay, which had over 600 readers per day for almost two months is now being read by even more people, so I am using this page to document it, just as I did then.

Thank you, Anheuser-Busch


Thank you twice.


This television commercial, sponsored by the Anheuser-Busch company, aired only one time, immediately after the mass-murder on September 11, 2001.




This video honors the men and women who honor our country by protecting it in any one of several military uniforms in any one of several very dangerous parts of the world, sometimes at the cost of their lives and always at the cost of the time they could be spending with their families, friends, and better-paying jobs.






I, David A. Cain, pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

and to the republic for which it stands.

One nation under God.

Indivisible.

With liberty and justice for all.
