Organize and share things you love.
Things I find that I'd like to absorb, hopefully mostly infographics / datavisualization
"Up until 1920, its published usage was exclusively in veterinary magazines and court cases about dogs. During the year 1920, suddenly the word gained popularity in fiction, magazines, and even some news sources. Why? What happened in 1920? Women's suffrage. Suddenly, "bitch" was used to paint women in this light: malicious, difficult, or "sexually brazen." In short, bitch is the first backlash to feminism."

TheFullTimeWife I always encourage my sisters to ask for what they want and need when it comes to business or life! Close that gap by stepping in!
Lesly Clarke-Matter Thank you Emily and "TheFullTimeWife" (I am too, at present), Those comments by Kelley...wow, I just couldn't believe it. Female Sexist is right, hard to believe you would actually fight AGAINST yourself and your sisters, mother, daughters and granddaughters. It looks like she has daughters too in her picture.
Claret Associates Check out this interactive graph. Great info to ponder as a woman.
Chris Hoffman Some of my bestfriends are women? I laLove my mom,sisters,cousins & neices & want the best for them.
Benjamin Johnstone Another data point that would be interesting is what level each man or woman is producing in performance. Ex. Are the men outperforming the women in their field in sales or other measures of performance areas or are men and women mostly preforming equally. Or possibly women are outperforming and being underpaid? That would give a better perspective.

Cindy Fowler This is really telling. I wish US politicians had to answer to this data.
Carrie Gold It's not as much of a political thing as it is a lifestyle and money thing.
Beth Turner I thought this shows that we need universal health care, which would be a political issue, right?

Jon Butt That must have taken some work!
The unemployment rate for recent graduates was highest in architecture, at 13.9 percent. Even architecture majors who went on to receive graduate degrees, which usually safeguard workers from unemployment, are doing poorly in the job market. With a jobless rate of 7.7 percent, architecture majors who hold graduate degrees are still more likely to be unemployed than newly minted college grads who studied journalism (!).

Android and iPhone update history / "I went back and found every Android phone shipped in the United States1 up through the middle of last year. I then tracked down every update that was released for each device - be it a major OS upgrade or a minor support patch - as well as prices and release & discontinuation dates. I compared these dates & versions to the currently shipping version of Android at the time. The resulting picture isn’t pretty - well, not for Android users"

They discovered that global corporate control has a distinct bow-tie shape, with a dominant core of 147 firms radiating out from the middle. Each of these 147 own interlocking stakes of one another and together they control 40% of the wealth in the network. A total of 737 control 80% of it all. The top 20 are at the bottom of the post. This is, say the paper’s authors, the first map of the structure of global corporate control.

Cassy La Cass So.... they're ALL too big to fail?
Deb Roy's team reaped the power of data and captured every time his son ever heard the word water along with the the context he saw it in. They then used this data to penetrate through the video, find every activity trace that co-occurred with an instance of "water" and map it on a blueprint of the apartment. That's how they came up with wordscapes: the landscape that data leaves in its wake.
