Is Google Glasses the next step in mobile evolution?
If you're a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, you've seen Google Glasses. The villainous cyborgs knows as the Borg have tiny transparent screens in front of their eyes that constantly feed them information on their systems and the world around them. In fact, Enterprise chief engineer Geordi LaForge had some wild, computerized glasses, as well. As has been the case in the past, Star Trek predicted new technology decades ahead of time.
Google Glasses, dubbed Project Glass at Google HQ, look like silver, wraparound eyeglasses but with only one small lens. On that lens a person can see text messages and directions and video calls, you name it. It's a form of augmented reality technology beyond anything yet seen.
Google employees are testing the glasses now out in the real world. So if you live in Mountain View, Calif., keep your eyes peeled for these staffers. They'll be the ones stumbling into light poles. OK, maybe they won't be walking into things, but one has to wonder just how disruptive this technology can be. I pray these Google employees don't wear them while driving.
What do these glasses mean for the world of mobile technology? Probably that things are just going to continue to evolve at the frenzied pace they have been for years. We have little idea today what mobile technology will look like in five years. Though I'd wager these glasses will be part of that world. Put on these glasses and one of those earpiece phones and before you know it you'll become a Borg.
Some experts agree that this is another step in mobile's evolution, and that augmented reality will have a big part to play in the future.
"What this means for retailers is that location-based and augmented reality programs will become more important," says Tom Nawara, vice president of digital strategy and design at web and mobile marketing firm Acquity Group LLC. "As we've begun to see with mobile devices in general, the geofencing of store, product and offer information will become more necessary, and the need to personalize that information based on the user and associated conditions—time of day, weather, etc.—will become not only more important, but more possible. Retailers also need to be cognizant of the fact that devices such as Google Glasses will change the way we interact with television and advertising."
I don't know if I'd like Google Glasses. Call me old-fashioned, but I like my smartphone. (Are smartphones already old-fashioned?) The glasses seem very intrusive, and I can get everything I need, and I'd bet more, on my smartphone. Once the glasses hit stores, it will be interesting to see if they take off. I'd say the 13-18-year-olds will love them. But if they gain any traction, they'll be yet another mobile device that retailers have to contend with.
I'd also suggest that for your well being if you see someone with Google Glasses heading toward you, get out of the way.

Never a good sign when you bring in a fourth writer, especially after Goyer took a crack at it.

Thanks to DarthoftheDead for the submission.
Never a good sign when you bring in a fourth writer, especially after Goyer took a crack at it.
Just keep it simple and try to avoid any shots of Godzilla swimming/laying eggs.
My gosh, how difficult can this possibly be?! All we want to see is a bad-ass looking Godzilla laying complete annihilation on a big city!
I guess they haven't been able to create the right love story to fit into the script... sheesh!
Instead of another Godzilla there should be a movie based on that old Nintendo game, Rampage. Who here didn't waste a lot of "homework time" playing that mindless game? Totally awesome, bra.
I agree VTGamehendge.......I played Rampage a LOT when it was in the arcades, long before it became a home game! Put a ton of quarters in that machine! Totally bad ass, panty.....(you know, as in BRA and PANTY!)
Sorry, lame joke.......
They have to make sure it sucks worse than the Matthew Broderick version
They have written Sherlock Holmes 3! Now that is news.
Godzilla should be the easiest script in the world to write. Forget the American version. It doesn't matter how old the human characters are (just lose the annoying kid). I hate to break it to them, but it is not Shakespeare. People want to see Godzilla tearing the hell out of Tokyo (or, insert whichever city. Just not New York City.) If I were their team take a cue from the original. Did I care if the lead was a middle aged white dude? No.
I'm surprised Goyer's version wasn't golden. Guess in the meantime, I can get a real fix by just playing the video game.
i think it's a good thing to take another shot at it. it shows they realy want to make a good godzilla film instead of just rushing it. then again if this keeps on, and they don't get it together it will be a disaster in a non godzilla way. about the age group i think it's playing it safe, who wants a love story in a godzilla film? or a anoying kid, and such.. no doubt the FX will be great so hope they figure it out and get rolling.. and if all else fails just have a big monster bash of epic faild portions, lol...
What's to re-write? A fishing trawler is destroyed off the coast of Japan under mysterious circumstances. A seaside village gets trashed soon after and giant radioactive footprints are found there. Before you know it, a giant lizard shooting atomic flames from it's mouth is ravaging Tokyo. Humans invent a Deus Ex Machina to drive Godzilla away until the sequel. Credits.
There's no need to re-invent the wheel here. They tried that once already, and it was a disaster. K.I.S.S.
Not sure if I got mod'ed or not, thought I posted.
How hard is it to make a Godzilla movie? He shows up, stomps the city, humanity fights back as creatively as they can. They really over think this.
From what I've read it seems they're going for an older lead which brings a smile to my face. It gets annoying having some tweener or teenager save the day.
I also read on other sites that Godzilla will be fighting other monsters. So she'll be more in the role of hero as opposed to city stomper.
Can't wait for this. And btw this re-write doesn't appear to be causing any delays on the announced release date. So we should see this in 2014 as planned, at least so far

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Long-term care in aging US: Not for me, poll says
Friday - 4/26/2013, 12:02am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- We're in denial: Americans underestimate their chances of needing long-term care as they get older -- and are taking few steps to get ready.
A new poll examined how people 40 and over are preparing for this difficult and often pricey reality of aging and found two-thirds say they've done little to no planning.
In fact, 3 in 10 would rather not think about getting older at all. Only a quarter predict it's very likely that they'll personally need help getting around or caring for themselves during their senior years, according to the poll by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
That's a surprise considering the poll found more than half of the 40-plus crowd already have been caregivers for an impaired relative or friend -- seeing from the other side the kind of assistance they, too, are likely to need later on.
"I didn't think I was old. I still don't think I'm old," explained retired schoolteacher Malinda Bowman, 60, of Laura, Ohio.
Bowman has been a caregiver twice, first for her grandmother. Then after her father died in 2006, Bowman moved in with her mother, caring for her until her death in January. Yet Bowman has made few plans for herself.
"I guess I was focused on caring for my grandmother and mom and dad, so I didn't really think about myself," she said. "Everything we had was devoted to taking care of them."
The poll found most people expect family to step up if they need long-term care -- even though 6 in 10 haven't talked with loved ones about the possibility and how they'd like it to work.
Bowman said she's healthy now but expects to need help someday from her two grown sons. Last month, prompted by a brother's fall and blood clot, she began the conversation by telling her youngest son about her living will and life insurance policy.
"I need to plan eventually," she acknowledged.
Those family conversations are crucial: Even if they want to help, do your relatives have the time, money and knowhow? What starts as driving Dad to the doctor or picking up his groceries gradually can turn into feeding and bathing him, maybe even doing tasks once left to nurses such as giving injections or cleaning open wounds. If loved ones can't do all that, can they afford to hire help? What if you no longer can live alone?
"The expectation that your family is going to be there when you need them often doesn't mean they understand the full extent of what the job of caregiving will be," Susan Reinhard, a nurse who directs AARP's Public Policy Institute, said. "Your survey is pointing out a problem for not just people approaching the need for long-term care, but for family members who will be expected to take on the huge responsibility of providing care."
Most people who have been caregivers called the work both worthwhile and stressful. And on the other end, those who have received care are less apt to say they can rely on their families in times of need, the poll found.
With a rapidly aging population, more families will be facing those responsibilities. Government figures show nearly 7 in 10 Americans will need long-term care at some point after they reach age 65, whether it's from a relative, a home health aide, assisted living or a nursing home. On average, they'll need that care for three years.
Despite the "it won't happen to me" reaction, the AP-NORC Center poll found half of those surveyed think just about everyone will need some assistance at some point. There are widespread misperceptions about how much care costs and who will pay for it. Nearly 60 percent of those surveyed underestimated the cost of a nursing home, which averages more than $6,700 a month.
Medicare doesn't pay for the most common types of long-term care. Yet 37 percent of those surveyed mistakenly think it will pay for a nursing home and even more expect it to cover a home health aide when that's only approved under certain conditions.
The harsh reality: Medicaid, the federal-state program for the poor, is the main payer of long-term care in the U.S., and to qualify seniors must have spent most of their savings and assets. But fewer than half of those polled think they'll ever need Medicaid -- even though only a third are setting aside money for later care, and just 27 percent are confident they'll have the financial resources they'll need.

Perforated Well
Application ID: 472
Analysis of fluid flow into wells often begins with the assumption that the intake fluid is uniform along the entire length of wellbore. This assumption runs into trouble when applied to the modeling of perforated wells. When these wells are emplaced, the deep bore hole is lined by impermeable materials. Later a machine pierces the lining intake fluids in the productive reservoir zones and nowhere else. The perforations are relatively small, typically less than 0.5 m long and with a diameter of less than 5. They typically are oriented at regular intervals cycling down the casing axis.
The ability to describe how fluids funnel into tiny perforations oriented about a well bore is the subject of a rapidly growing number of analyses. In that the perforations are isolated piercings as opposed to rings, the flow field is not suited for axisymmetric analyses - fully 3-D simulations are required.
This example demonstrates several useful COMSOL Multiphysics features. Included are instructions for using Lagrange multipliers to calculate a high accuracy flux on a relatively low density mesh. The model also shows how to set up boundary integration coupling variables to automate the flux calculations.

Savages (2012)
Savages Synopsis
Three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone returns to the screen with the ferocious thriller
, featuring the all-star ensemble cast of Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Benicio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, Emile Hirsch and Demian Bichir. The film is based on Don Winslow's best-selling crime novel that was named one of The New York Times' Top 10 Books of 2010.
Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Johnson), a peaceful and charitable Buddhist, and his closest friend Chon (Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry--raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Lively). Life is idyllic in their Southern California town...until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them.
When the merciless head of the BC, Elena (Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon--with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent (Travolta)--wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills.

Zimmermann hopes to continue hot start vs. Padres
Right-hander looks to notch league-best eighth victory
Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann became the Majors' first seven-game winner on Monday. Will he become the first eight-game winner on Saturday?
We'll find out when the Nationals take on the Padres at Petco Park, a place Zimmermann is 1-0 with a minuscule 0.69 ERA in two career starts.
Facing the Dodgers in his last start, Zimmermann (7-1, 1.69 ERA) allowed just two runs on nine hits in 72/3 innings for his fourth straight win.
Striking out five and walking none in the contest, it marked Zimmermann's fourth straight game that he tossed seven or more innings and allowed two runs or less.
"He just kept attacking the zone," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said after the game. "He was getting himself in good counts, and it's a good way to pitch, ahead in the count. He did a great job of that."
Meanwhile, left-hander Eric Stults will be on the hill for the Padres, hoping to regain his command after a shaky start his last time out.
After walking only eight batters in his first seven starts, Stults (3-3, 4.57 ERA) issued five free passes in a loss to the Rays on Sunday. In 5 1/3 innings, he allowed three runs on five hits.
"To walk five, that's not my game," he said after the game. "It was a struggle for me. I didn't have a real good feel for my pitches."
Manager Bud Black was still impressed with Stults' effort.
"He battled his command a little," Black said. "It looked as though he wasn't making his pitches. But he competed, battled."
Nationals: Detwiler to miss next start
• Washington left-hander Ross Detwiler will not make his next start on Monday against the Giants due to a lower back injury.
Detwiler had a second MRI on Friday and the results were still inconclusive. He'll get more tests done Saturday.
Manager Davey Johnson said Detwiler could have an oblique strain. Doctors are also going to check to see if there are any problems in Detwiler's vertebrae.
"He did say he felt a lot better," Johnson said. "It doesn't hurt him when he sneezes or walks, so that is a good sign. He says he hopes he misses one start."
Padres: Stauffer called up; Quentin on paternity leave
• San Diego selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Tim Stauffer from Triple-A Tucson and placed outfielder Carlos Quentin on paternity leave on Friday.
To make room for Stauffer on the 40-man roster, the team designated right-handed pitcher Thad Weber for assignment.
Stauffer, who started Opening Day for the Padres in 2011, had a 2-2 record with a 3.16 ERA over eight starts with Tucson.
"It was encouraging, from a health standpoint, it felt good and from a pitching standpoint, I was able to build on some things. I felt I was throwing the ball the way I needed to throw the ball," said Stauffer.
Worth noting
• Washington is 17-2 when scoring first this season, compared to 6-17 when its opponent gets on the board first.
• Since joining the Padres last year, the club is 15-7 in Stults' 22 starts, with the left-hander going 11-6 with a 3.50 ERA.

TTB-109 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau Final rule; Treasury decision. This final rule is effective on January 1, 2015. 27 CFR Part 25 The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is adopting as a permanent regulatory change a flat $1,000 penal sum for the brewer's bond for brewers whose excise tax liability is reasonably expected to be not more than $50,000 in a given calendar year and who were liable for not more than $50,000 in such taxes in the preceding calendar year. TTB originally set forth this change in a temporary rule issued on December 7, 2012. In addition, TTB is adopting as a final rule its proposal, also issued on December 7, 2012, to require small brewers to file Federal excise tax returns, pay tax, and submit reports of operations quarterly. TTB expects these amendments to reduce the regulatory burdens on such brewers, reduce their administrative costs, and create administrative efficiencies for TTB.

Looking for Digital Cameras?
Start shoppingVideo: Tips for using Memory Cards
J., Crutchfield photographer, gives us some tips and tricks for getting the most out of your memory cards.
J: Of course we have a handful of memory cards here in the photo studio. When buying memory cards look for a high capacity the bigger capacity the better. Probably 16GB is a pretty common one now. You'll never ever say "Gee I wish I had less capacity on this card."
The other thing to look for is speed. There's always a speed number written there now. And with a compact flash, it's a large number with an "X" behind it. This is a 600X. With SD cards, it's called a class number. I think we're up to class 10. So that's the speed at which it can accept information, so the faster your card the faster you can write to it if you're shooting really fast with an SLR. If you're shooting video that's when it's really important.
The other thing to always do once you transfer the image files off your card, I always like to do it redundantly, so you have maybe an external hard drive and your computer, is when you're done, when you've moved them all off that card and the card goes back into the camera, to go into the menu, it's hidden somewhere in every camera, and select format so that will essentially erase that card. And I've found doing that each time has kept any of our cards from ever becoming corrupt, which can happen.
If you have any questions about cameras or camera accessories feel free to give us a call at Crutchfield.

Realistically though, I can't see them caring. Not enough people will go after them for it to matter.

Presentation of gender statistics in graphs
Modified on 2013/05/21 12:06 by Haoyi Chen — Categorized as: Chapter 4 - Analysis and presentation of gender statistics
Graphs can be used to great effects in publications. They can summarize trends, patterns and relationships between variables. They can illustrate and amplify the main messages of the publication, and inspire the reader to continue reading. Graphs are generally better understood and interpreted by the average reader, and therefore appeal to a wider audience. If done well, they can give readers a quick and easy understanding of the differences and similarities between women and men.
Every graph should make a point and that point can be given in the title. Nevertheless, in many publications, titles state the subject and the coverage of data in the graph. In this case, the title should start with the key word(s) of the statistics presented.
There are many types of charts. The type of chart used depends on the kind of data used in the analysis and what point the authors wish to make. Choosing the correct chart can make the difference between providing the reader with a strong message and confusing the reader.
Line charts
Line charts give a clear picture of changes over time or over age cohorts that cannot easily be discovered in data tables. Time-series data that are often shown in line charts are life expectancies at birth, infant mortality, literacy rates, and labour force participation rates. In general, it is expected that advances in human development over time are reflected in declining infant mortality rates and increasing literacy rates and life expectancies;labour force participation rates are expected to respond to changes in overall market and trade conditions.
Chart 4.1, for example, shows trends in life expectancy at birth for women and men in South Africa.
It is generally recommended that charts start from zero at the y-axis of a quantitative variable, so that the differences or similarities between women and men are not distorted. However, at the same time, it is important that the comparison between women and men is facilitated. In this case all the values of life expectancy are concentrated above age 35. The focus on differences between women and men in the chart presented, allows the viewer to see how the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa changed in the 1990s women's and men's trends in life expectancies.
Chart 4. 1 Life expectancy at birth by sex, South Africa, 1950-2010
Source of data: United Nations, 2011.
World Population Prospects
Line charts are also useful in revealing changes from one age cohort to another, in labour force participation, employment, or literacy, for example. Chart 4.2, for instance, shows age patterns in labour force participation for women and men in Chile, for two points in time. The chart illustrates three main points: (a) at all ages, labour force participation rates are lower for women than for men; (b) in the last two decades women's participation rates increased more than men's participation rates; and (c) in the most recent year observed, women tend to withdraw from the labour market after age 30.
Chart 4. 2 Labour force participation rate by age group, by sex, Chile, 1990 and 2008.
Source of data: ILO, LABORSTA table 1A (accessed January 2012).
Vertical bar charts
Bar charts are common in presentation of gender statistics. One of the axes, usually the x-axis, is formed by a qualitative variable with distinct categories. This variable can be sex or other breakdown variables such as urban/rural areas, regions, or wealth quintiles. The other axis can represent absolute frequencies or percentages, sums or averages. Bar charts can be used to illustrate data that do not vary in magnitude too greatly.
Chart 4.3 is an example of simple vertical bar charts. It shows the percentage of women in India who have ever experienced physical violence for different categories of wealth, ordered from the poorest quintile (poorest 20 per cent of the population) to the wealthiest quintile (wealthiest 20 per cent of the population). Other examples of simple bar charts may include total fertility rate by region, antenatal care by urban/rural areas, or proportion of women married before age 18 by level of education.
Chart 4. 3 Women age 15-49 who have experienced physical violence since age 15 by wealth quintiles, India, 2005-06
Source of data: Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Government of India, 2007.
National Health Family Survey 2005-06
Grouped (or clustered) bar charts present the same characteristic for two or more categories of population at the same time, thus facilitating comparisons. Often, the values of a characteristic for women and men are shown as two sets of differently colored or shaded bars side by side for each category. For example, in Chart 4.4, data on school attendance in Yemen is presented for girls and boys side by side within two categories of population,the poorest and the wealthiest quintiles. It is shown that girls have school participation rates lower than boys in both wealth groups; however, the gender gap is much more substantial in the poorest group of population
Chart 4. 4 Primary school net attendance rate for children in the poorest and wealthiest quintiles, Yemen, 2006
Source of data: Ministry of Health and Population and UNICEF, 2008.
Yemen Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2006, Final Report
If more categories or data points need to be illustrated, the bars can become too thin and difficult to interpret. In such cases it is recommended that some dot charts are used instead of grouped bar charts. For example, by comparison to Chart 4.4, Chart 4.5 presents gender differences in school attendance for all wealth quintiles and for urban and rural areas. Chart 4.5 shows the disadvantage of girls in school participation in all groups and how this disadvantage is greater in the poorer population and in rural areas.
Chart 4. 5 Primary school net attendance rate for girls and boys by wealth quintiles and by urban/rural areas, Yemen, 2006
Source of data: Ministry of Health and Population and UNICEF, 2008.
Yemen Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2006, Final Report
Stacked bar charts
Similar to the grouped bar charts, stacked bar charts illustrate data sets consisting of two or more categories. Stacked bar charts can be used for most kinds of data but they are most effective for categories adding to 100 per cent. A common problem with stacked bar charts is that one or more segments are too short to be visible on the scale. Another problem is that more than three segments of the bar are difficult to compare from one bar to another.
Some stacked charts illustrate the percentage distribution by sex within various categories of variables, such as the share of women and men among categories of occupations. Chart 4.6 is one example of this type of stacked charts and it shows that in Viet Nam women hold only a small proportion of property titles.
Chart 4. 6 Distribution of property titles by sex of the owner and urban/rural areas, Viet Nam, 2006
Source of data: Viet Nam Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and others, 2008,
Results of Nation-wide Survey on the Family in Viet Nam 2006: Key Findings.
Other stacked charts, however, can illustrate the distribution of variables within the female and male population, for example, the distribution of female and male deaths by cause of death, or the distribution of female and male employment by sector of employment. Chart 4.7, for example, shows that women's employment in Morocco is concentrated primarily in agriculture, while men's employment is concentrated primarily in services and secondarily in agriculture.
Chart 4. 7 Employment by aggregate sector, by sex, Morocco, 2008
Source of data: ILO – KILM. Accessed April 2012.
Horizontal bar charts
Bar charts can also be presented horizontally. They are often considered when many categories need to be presented, or where the categories presented have long labels. Men and women can be presented side by side for each category, as in Chart 4.8. Similar to the vertical bar charts, when the graph needs to display the sex distribution within a category and the values for women and men add up to 100 per cent, a stacked bar chart should be considered.
Chart 4. 8 Proportion of obese persons, by sex and wealth quintile, Egypt, 2008
Source of data: El-Zanaty, Fatma and Ann Way. 2009.
Egypt Demographic and Health Survey 2008.
Cairo, Egypt: Ministry of Health, El-Zanaty and Associates, and Macro International.
Horizontal bar charts are also ideal for showing time use data, because the left-to-right motion (in Western culture) on the x-axis generally implies the passage of time. Chart 4.9 provides such an example.
Chart 4. 9 Average time spent on care for children, sick and elderly by sex, urban/rural areas and marital status, Pakistan, 2007 (minutes per day in total population aged 10 and above)
Source of data: Government of Pakistan, Statistics Division, Federal Bureau of Statistics, 2009.
Time Use Survey 2007.
Bar charts are often used to present gender statistics for different regions of a country. When there are many regions to be presented, a horizontal bar chart may be preferred. It is important that the regions considered are presented in such a way that they facilitate the comparisons between women and men within and between the regions. Ranking of the regions alphabetically is seldom a good solution. When no other dimension is the focus of analysis (such as level of economic or human development of the region, for example), it is important that the regions are presented in the graph according to the rank of values observed for women or, less frequent, for men. Ranking of the regions by gender gap may also be considered if the graph does not become too confusing.
Another way to use a horizontal bar chart is to plot against each other (extending left and right from the y-axis) two variables that are visibly correlated. Example of a pair of such variables would be the proportion of women married before age 18 and adolescent fertility rate, both disaggregated by region; or total fertility rate and women's contraceptive use, both disaggregated by region. The two variables considered for this type of plot do not need to have the same scale.
A variation of the use of horizontal bars is the "age and sex pyramids". Traditionally, age pyramids plot the age composition of the population of women and men as horizontal bars originating from the y-axis, using absolute number of women and men by age group. Because they use absolute numbers, they tend to emphasize the concentration of population in particular age groups. Alternatively, this type of chart can be constructed using percentages instead of absolute numbers, emphasizing the groups where women or men are overrepresented. For example, Chart 4.10 illustrates the composition of population in Swaziland by sex, age group and level of educational attainment. By comparison, Chart 4.11 illustrates, for the same country, the proportion of women and men with at least secondary education within age group.
Chart 4. 10 Distribution of population by sex, age group and educational attainment, Swaziland, 2007
Source of data: United Nations, DYB data on line. Census data sets (accessed January 2012).
Chart 4. 11 Proportion of population with at least secondary education, by sex and age group Swaziland, 2007
Source of data: United Nations, DYB data on line (accessed January 2012)
Other examples of age and sex pyramids would be foreign-born population by sex, age group and marital status; or proportion of population smoking by sex and age group.
Pie charts
Pie charts are suitable for illustrating percentage distribution of qualitative variables and are an alternative to bar charts. Pie charts must always show shares that total to 100 per cent. A common error with pie charts is to show too many categories, resulting in labels that are hard to read or shares that are too narrow. When too many categories need to be compared, bar charts are more suitable.
Pie charts are best used when only one or two shares of the whole are shown for different years, different population groups or different related categories. For example, Chart 4.12 shows the percentage of women married before age 18 in urban areas as compared to rural areas. Other examples would be the share of time used by women in total time invested by women and men in various types of unpaid housework; or the share of women among managers at two points in time.
Chart 4. 12 Proportion women married before age 18 in urban and rural areas, Gambia, 2005/2006
Source of data: The Gambia MICS Survey 2005/2006 report
Scatter plots
Scatter plots are often used to show the relationship between two variables. The two variables are plot against each other, in order to show patterns of their grouping. Scatter plots are also used in identifying and analyzing outliers in the data.
Scatter plots are particularly useful when many data points need to be displayed, such as in the case of a large number of regions or sub-regions of a country that cannot be easily presented in tables or bar charts. Chart 4.13, for example, shows school attendance rates for girls plot against school attendance boys for children in the states of India. The dots that are close to the diagonal represent the states where girls and boys have similar school attendance rates. This is the case for most of the states in India. However, there are a few exceptions. A number of states with generally lower school attendance have higher rates for boys than for girls. These particular cases may be highlighted on the graph.

This owl not barred from Connecticut
A barred owl. Credit: contributed |
When visiting their Rochester home in the White River Valley in winter, I'm always on the lookout for boreal species. A visit in late fall found her neighborhood full of evening grosbeaks, and a pre-Christmas delivery run on Dec. 21 turned up common redpolls at a neighbor's feeder.
Our drive up on Christmas Eve morning showed evidence of a natural event of a different kind. The finches noted above are known for periodic southward irruptions, and they're usually quite conspicuous when they make their move. Northern predators such as snowy owls, great gray owls and rough-legged hawks, given their use of open habitats, are also rather easy to find when on the move.
None of these predators have made a major thrust into our region so far, but a much less conspicuous bird, the barred owl, apparently has. I say apparently, because barred owl movements are hard to detect for a couple of reasons.
First they nest throughout Connecticut, so it's hard to tell where a given individual has originated. Second, they're forest birds that easily disappear into our large woodlands.
Evidence of a movement has accumulated over the last couple of months, mainly through sightings in places, such as metropolitan Boston, where barred owls don't usually occur. Reports logged into eBird have shown Boston sightings up significantly this year.
Some were also found perched in the open during daytime on Connecticut Chrismas Bird Counts or during scouting for the counts. There were 20 reports to eBird from Thanksgiving to Christmas, including birds in downtown New Haven and in Norwalk.
With this in mind, I had one eye on the road shoulder as we drove north on Interstate 91.
Not unexpectedly, I saw a road-killed barred owl as we passed through Rockingham, Vt. This incident alone doesn't prove I'd seen an owl on the move from rodent-poor northern areas, but it was suggestive.
So was a second one we saw on the way home, road-killed on Interstae 91 in Greenfield, Mass.
