The suitcase :unsure:
I recommend clicking on the link at the end which goes to the pdf journal translation.

Glatt, there is more evidence linking HFCS to obesity than grain. Not that grain is all that great.

Except for barley.

A niche blog called WTF Visualizations. They collect charts, graphs, and other visuals from articles, reports, print and digital. No explanation beyond the visual itself so a lot of them are real head scratchers. I found a lot of them amusing.

The circle charts there...uh, I'm confused.

2% = about half the circle chart. ?

3% = 25% of the circle chart. ?

Lather, rinse, repeat.

?

And 10% and 80% look the same. Oh, and it doesn't say those contacts are with the same potential customer. There's a lot they don't say. :haha:

I think the blog is mocking these infographics.

glatt 07-21-2014 07:42 PM

Heh. I didn't even look at the graphic. Just the numbers.

All I can say is that, for me, a sale (medical equipment etc.) is made on either the first or second contact. I evaluate the product and decide. After that, contacts are utterly unwelcome.

Come to think of it, most approaches fit that paradigm.

The Measure of America 2013–2014
 
The Measure of America project by the Social Science Research Council, came up with some interesting conclusions about how the quality of life is affected by things going on around us.
YMMV because Asians living the longest with Latinos second, may or may not concern you.

The actual people, and the actors who portrayed them, compared.

#s 1, 3, 9, 10, and 12. Especially 12. And, maybe, 21.

Why the post office pays private shippers $3200 a pallet to fly Coke/Pepsi to rural Alaska.

Mapping the Spread of the Military’s Surplus Gear

My county has received from Uncle Sam 43* assault rifles, 5 pcs of body armor, 2 pcs night vision equipment, and 2 shotguns.



* We don't even have 43 officers, city and county combined.
