The leading
QUESTION: I want to change the subject, if I could. Yesterday, in meetings with Deputy Secretary Armitage, these two officials from the EU asked for the United States to expand the Visa Waiver Program to include all EU members. I presume that means that they want Greece, which wasn't in the program before but was in the EU before May 1st, as well as nine out of the ten because Slovenia, one of the new ones, is already in the Visa Waiver Program, that they want all of those countries, citizens of those countries, to be able to come in the U.S. without visas.
What was the response, and how likely is that to -- how likely is that?
MR. BOUCHER: The United States will look at these countries on a country-by-country basis, but they -- really, participation in the Visa Waiver Program is a matter of statute, it's a matter of
machine-readable passport program in place, that they demonstrate adequate safeguards against fraudulent use of passports, and be sufficiently stable to ensure that conditions which could affect the program-qualifying criteria are not likely to change in the future.
Once nominated, the country must demonstrate that it has effective border controls in place for all territory under its control and that the country's law enforcement must demonstrate significant cooperation with U.S. counterparts, as well as international entities such as Interpol.
So those are the criteria that are applied that must be applied by law and that would be applied to any EU members. We are certainly willing to look at this in terms of any given government, but actually qualifying for the program requires meeting those statutory requirements.
QUESTION: Well, in fact, isn't -- aren't you more likely, at least at the moment, to drop at least one EU country from the Visa Waiver Program, Belgium, which is kind of on a double secret probation?
MR. BOUCHER: I'm not going to make any prediction. We, as you know, regularly review countries that are in the Visa Waiver Program to ensure that all the criteria are continuing to be met. And we have had discussions with the Belgian Government, along with other governments about that, but I wouldn't make any prediction on that, at this moment.
QUESTION: Can you just make -- is it not correct that Belgium has been warned that it may be dropped --
MR. BOUCHER: I'll check on what I can say about the exact status from Belgium. We've had discussions about the criteria, and making sure that all the various safeguards are in place, and if we're satisfied they will continue.
QUESTION: Are you under the impression right now that any -- either Greece or any of the nine of the 10 newcomers that are not in the program now, if any of them come close to meeting these criteria?
MR. BOUCHER: I don't think we --
QUESTION: Or has it never been --
MR. BOUCHER: We don't necessarily publish refusal rates on governments, but we always do look at the countries that are coming close or are becoming eligible. So I'm sure we'll be willing to look at it for countries that may be coming close on that. But, at this point, it's a country-by-country determination. And, as I said, we're happy to look at it for countries that join the -- are joining the EU, but they're going to have to meet the requirements if we are able to accept them under the law.

May 1, 2010
Not Equal As In Math (and also not really equal at all)
Senator Lindsey Graham assures us that he cares equally for the immigration and climate change issues. This is manifestly an odd statement, even allowing for the colloquial quality and inexactness of much natural language. There are all sorts of reasons one should try harder to be more worried about one of these than the other: if you were a catastrophe type of the Gore stripe, for instance, you'd presumably care a helluva lot more about failing to address the warming planet than you would a political issue like immigration reform. (Global catastrophic disaster versus an ongoing issue with undocumented immigrants, I mean.)
If, on the other hand, you were skeptical—like the majority of Americans—about the veracity of the Global Warming notion in the first place(the hypothesis that the warming of the Earth is or will become destructive, and that it is human-caused), you'd likely care more about the socio -economic-political consequences of the immigration issue than speculative scientific views about possible outcomes driven by folks with one foot in atmospheric science and the other in politics. Not much use getting worked up about catastrophes that aren't really going to happen.
And so the issue here is not Graham's implausible ceteris paribus exhortation to curry favor with voters (which means: everyone who was listening to him), but rather a somewhat deeper issue about science, that it's still and I suppose necessarily, and essentially, about what's true, and so our degree of belief in scientific claims is largely still what matters when determining how much we care. Senator Graham, for his part, just cares a damn lot, and equally so. But for the rest of us, whether we believe, in some robust apolitical sense, that a claim is factual or not, weighs heavily on how much value we give issues that rely on these claims for their moral or ethical force. It determines, in other words, how much we'll care about them.
Fair readers of this blog, you've now been armed with the tools of reason. The next time a Global Warming Alarmist accuses you of not caring, cheerfully agree that, yes, in fact you don't care much . And the reason of course is that you don't have a strong belief in the factual claims, and hence the issue itself is a dubious recipient of your care. (When this elicits howls of protest about taking care of the planet, tell them that you DO care about THIS issue. Then you'll have owned the part that matters—the environment does require our care—and jettisoned the stupid politics of alarmist science, pushing the speculative theory part back to the controlling alarmist, keeping the General Environment issue that she wanted to invoke, shiftily, as proof of your moral turpitude. If she then counters with something about "leaving it to the scientific experts", point out that many experts actually disagree on this issue (which is quite true), and ask which experts we should "leave it to". This will likely elicit a pathetic response about "many more think it's true than not", to which you inquire about whether scientific facts are properly established by popular vote. If this leads into the weeds, just ask the alarmist to name another scientific theory that is considered established in the same sense as the Global Warming Catastrophe theory. This is a devastating question, because if she's honest, she'll have to abandon hard science completely, and the discussion will end up with something squishy like economic theory. At this point you've won, though the Alarmist may hang on for a while if only out of stubbornness. Don't worry about this, though, because you're a wascally wabbit for the control-minded alarmist at this point, and even if she grumbles or blusters a bit, she'll soon sulk away to find some easier target. But it won't be you, not anymore. Because you're armed. You're ready. Really.)

As we promised! Here's an interview with our Manager – Eric Hallbäck!
So Eric, are you ready?
– Yes!
Tell us about your background and history in music?
– I grew up with my father in Jönköping, Sweden, and he is and has allways been a huge fan of metal and hard-rock music. So it became naturally for me to listen to it.
When I was about 3-4 years old, I searched through his collection of old vinyl-discs and found Alice Cooper's "Constrictor". I still remember the fear I felt. The dude had a SNAKE IN HIS MOUTH. I couldn't even touch the cover. (When I was older I finally did put it on, and I loved it. Still do.)
Anyway! I moved on and I found the coolest and most awesome cover I've ever seen. Iron Maiden's "Piece of Mind". Looks kind of scary too if you show it to a 3-4 year-old, but I loved it. So I screamed loud until my father put it on. And that was it. That disc wasn't removed from the vinyl player for 2 years. I'm not kidding.
Iron Maiden led me to Black Sabbath, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, DIO, Gun's n' Roses and so on.
Long story short; Maiden is the reason I started listening to hard-rock and metal-music.
In school we had something called "Happy hour", where we could team up with a friend or two, and give the rest of the class a show, set up a play, or anything else that you wanted to share with your classmates. This was in 3rd class (I was about 8 years old). Most of my friends took their pets to school and talked about them, or lip synced to a shitty Backstreet Boys-song. Not me. I stood for 5 and a half minutes and played air guitar, screaming "..if you're gonna die, die with your boots on if you gonna die..!"
Everybody loved it.. at least my friends did.. My teacher and principal didn't..
After 30 min of bullshit at my principal's office, with my father and teacher attending, my father and I got in the car, he gave me the highest of fives and we laughed our asses off the whole way home.
When did you first hear about The Embodied?
– My brother introduced me to The Embodied on a party he had a couple of years ago. His father is a guitarist and knew the guys. So he put on some songs and I'm glad he did. Thank's Tom.
Later, about 6 months ago I met Marcus. We play in the same hockey-team in the "Swedish Raven-series", and I asked them if they wanted some help feeding the world with the sick tunes of The Embodied. And that's where we started!
What is your favourite track from the album?
– I really think the whole album is awesome. But if I have to choose? Wow.
That's impossible… Oka… No, I can't… If I… No… Yah, what the hell. If I really had to choose I'd go with "Born from shadows", "Heaven Burns Tonight" and "Deception".
How will you help the band, any special plans?
– My plan at the moment is to help the guys to come out and play everywhere! I'll give them feedback if they want me to give it. I'm gonna help them as much as I can, with everything so that they can focus on the music and their creativity.
And of course, slap their faces and kick their asses if they drink too much liquor.
Give a short description of the guys.
– F**ki'n he… Where should I start?
Marcus? Our half-finnish viking. A clever guy with a voice that I'd cut off a leg to have myself.
Chris is the calm guy. He's not the one that usually stands up and scream at the other guys, but when he do, some serious shit comes out of his mouth!
Axel is our hungarian warrior. Gives 110% in everything he does, and if it's not perfection, it's not Axel's work. Gotta love him.
Agust… slaps the bass like he hasn't done anything else before in his life. He doesn't care if the merch is black, yellow or pink, as long as he gets to play.
Jonathan. Denmark's finest. If he hadn't married his guitar, he could be a comedian.. A slightly disturbed one. But I think he made the right choice. When he plays that electric guitar, it's like watching Guitar Hero live.
– Usain Bolt, Speedy Gonz.. What? This wasn't the question?
Beer or beer
– Beer of course.. Who answers "beer" on this one?
Man boobs or Man beard
– Man beard. I read that bra's can give you cancer.
Dickinson or Hetfield
– Bruce Allmighty
Ozzy or Lemmy
– Lemmy. ..or Ozzy.. no Lemmy
Do or Don't
– Do! If you don't, you ain't never gonna find out.
Thank you Eric!

What tips and rules do you follow when riding a bicycle on a road? Do you teach the same things to your children, family and friends?
Many people forget to always obey the Rules of the Road when riding a bicycle in Pennsylvania. These rules are contained in the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code.
There are two types of bike/car accidents that are more common than others. The first is a when a vehicle going in the opposite direction turns directly into your path. The second is a right hand turn in front of you where the vehicle passes you on the left and makes a right turn directly into your path.
Always call the police following a bicycle accident, if for no other reason than to recover for the damage to your bicycle; it could end up being your biggest single loss.
Always go for a physical exam following an accident. Many times, aches and pains do not show up until days after the accident.
In Pennsylvania, your medical bills will be paid by the first-party coverage under your automobile insurance. In Pennsylvania, all automobile insurance owners are required to buy a minimum of $5,000 in medical coverage. If you do not own an automobile, then you may be eligible to collect medical benefits from the policy of the driver that hit you. Once your automobile insurance medical limits are exhausted, then the next level would be your private health insurance.
Also realize that insurance claims adjusters typically are not as knowledgeable about bikes as you are, so when you are in an accident and expecting to file a claim for your damaged bike, make sure that you have more than enough information to get fair value for it. You may have to educate your adjuster on how much your bike is really worth. Try services such as Craigslist to get an idea of the value range for your bike. If the bike is one that is not commonly sold, go to your bike shop and talk to the owner.
Always wear your helmet and be safe!
If you have been injured in a car wreck or accident involving a car and bicycle in Central Pennsylvnaia or anywhere else in Pennsylvania contact Chuck Schmidt and Gerry Kramer at SchmidtKramer Injury lawyers.

- What counts as Original Content (OC)?

- Reposts
- Describing the data plainly

What is a data visualization?
For the purposes of this subreddit a visualization is:
- Automatically generated, and not manually drawn or a photograph. Legacy data visualizations (e.g. charts from the 1800s) are an exception. (See also: Infographic vs Visualization)
- Based on non-visual data. It can't be a form of image effect or pixel shader.
- Based on real or simulated data. If the image represents one number (pi), sequence (primes), or equation (sin(x)), then /r/mathpics is a more appropriate place.
- Fake data, goofball statistics, and trivial analysis—for the sole purpose of making a joke—is not permitted. Go to /r/data_irl for your humor needs; our standards are a bit higher than that.
- A mapping of information to a visual property. Text in a table is not sufficient. A data variable must be transformed and mapped onto a visual property such as color, size, or position.
- For maps and heatmaps: If the visualization features spatial data, geographic position alone is not sufficient. It must be more than dots on a map. In addition, binary TRUE/FALSE maps are not enough to communicate something that a table couldn't. If your map doesn't apply, you can always post to /r/mapporn.
- Made with the intent to communicate data. A music visualization from a media player, while pretty and mesmerizing, doesn't convey information. You can't differentiate songs just by looking at the images.
The definition was adapted from Eager Eyes and this InfoVis paper
Original sources
All posts need to link to the original author's article that introduced the visualization. It doesn't matter where YOU first saw it. You need to find the actual source.
If you found the image somewhere:
Please note that we require you to post the complete original source article, so that the readers can get context, the author can get credit, and third parties don't get hits from stealing another person's work. Posts must directly link to the visualization where it was originally introduced by the author (not an image on the site, but the actual full web page article).
The source is rarely Gawker, Tumblr, Imgur, etc. Figure out where they got it. Usually a link to the original source is in the first couple paragraphs of where you found it. You may wish to try TinEye or Reverse Google Images. If you need assistance, click here.
If you are trying to submit a Wikipedia link:
Try submitting the Wikipedia or Wikimedia commons link instead of the raw file. A quick look at the URL should confirm this. Compare the following links:
- Link A: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Minard%27s_Map_%28vectorized%29.svg
- Link B: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_visualization#/media/File:Minard%27s_Map_(vectorized).svg
- Link C: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Minard%27s_Map_(vectorized).svg
Take a look at Link A. That is just the image, and is the same issue with hotlinking an article image from a website; there is no context. Now look at Link B. There is a lot of enriching information, e.g. copyright license, author, source, and even a link to the revision history. The same is the case with Link C. In the ideal case, the B or C examples are the acceptable links.
If the original source is a PDF:
If you posted a link to an image within a PDF, but your image was autoremoved, leave your post as-is and message the mods. We'll make an exception for you. In your modmail message, be sure to include the original PDF.
Your post will be manually approved by the mod team, and we'll sticky the original PDF to the top of the comment thread so our readers can get context.
This is due to the fact that PDFs generally end up being a bit cumbersome for mobile browsers and data plans. We try to keep mindfulness of our mobile users while running the subreddit.
What counts as Original Content (OC)?
Original Content is a post where the person who posted the /r/DataIsBeautiful submission is also the author of the visual displayed. This means that they had gone through the steps of working with the data, performing the analysis, and finally designing the visual.
If that author's role in creating the visualization was little more than taking a screenshot, animating, or filtering, it's not OC. Authors must have designed the visualization somehow. A program as simple as Excel is fine because the user at least chooses the chart type. Google Ngram or mouse trackers are not OC unless you are a creator of that software.
Put simply, you need to do more than image manipulation (such as cropping or animating) or filtering (such as panning, zooming, and subset selection). You need to control not just which data is visualized, but how it's visualized.
You must substantially change the visualization if your OC is based on an existing visualization. This means you cannot simply change the colors or positioning and claim OC. We consider such weak edits plagiarism (see below), and we have a two-strike policy.
Tips for making a great OC post.
What is Plagiarism?
It actually pains me to say this, but there have been several instances of blatant plagiarism we've caught here in a reasonably short period of time. A lot of these instances are actual spammers who are trying to pull a quick one on us to promote their websites, but still other instances are redditors who have been getting warning after warning about why it's unethical to steal hard work from another viz practitioner and claim it as your own.
It's really sad that we have to spell it out, but here's a brief case study on what doesn't constitute OC:
- Taking someone else's data viz and hosting it on another site.
- Taking someone else's data viz and hosting it on another site, after making insignificant touchups in photoshop.
- Taking someone else's data viz and hosting it on another site, after relabeling the axes to make it look funny.
- Taking a screenshot of someone else's mobile app or website, and hosting it on another site.
- Generating a replica of someone else's viz using someone else's code, without proper attribution.
- Generating a copy of someone else's viz; without changing the data, the way it's presented, or adding anything unique.
Rule 2 is very clear, telling you to link to the original source. If it's not your viz, don't claim it as OC. In a perfect world, we shouldn't have to post a reminder about what plagiarized content is, since that's something that's taught in Elementary School---but here we are. Original Content (or "OC" for short) often takes redditors hours to complete. A lot of professional data practitioners take many workdays to complete their viz. Please respect their time by linking directly to the original material they created. If you are basing your work off of theirs (aka remixing), then take the time to give them credit. If it's not your OC, then don't claim it as OC. Period.
If you come across an instance of plagiarized content, or you need clarification about something, please send us a modmail and we'll respond as soon as possible.
If you are remixing someone else's content, as opposed to plagiarism, that is perfectly allowable. However there must be a significant transformation to the visualization. The remix should have one or more of the following qualities:
- Using a different source dataset, or "updating" someone else's work to apply to a more recent set.
- Displaying a dataset quantifiably differently (e.g. changing a staggered bar into a stacked area).
- Performing an analysis on the same dataset, but in a way that's different from the original post.
All other minor touchups should be done as a comment in the original thread (not a separate post), to avoid offending our plagiarism rule. In all cases whatsoever, you should give the original author credit. Again, if you're unsure, please send us a modmail and we'll respond as soon as possible.
Infographic vs Visualization
An infographic is made manually (e.g., via Illustrator), whereas a visualization is automatically generated from data. Here (1 2 3) are some example infographics.
Notice that while infographics are based on data, they are not generated systematically from data. A good test is that swapping out a dataset (e.g., to a different year or different location) should require little to no manual intervention. A visualization can just be regenerated, whereas an infographic has to be remade manually.
Sometimes a visualization is embedded in an infographic, which is sometimes acceptable but makes the boundary a bit fuzzy. If you're unsure, please contact the moderators before posting it.
If a post is clearly an infographic, please report it.
Note: We have nothing against infographics. They're just harder to regulate and require a categorically different skill to create. See /r/infographics for more infographics.
We believe authors should be credited for their work. To achieve that, we ask that all visualizations posted in /r/DataIsBeautuful link directly to the original source of the work.
Blog posts and other articles that sidestep this by rehosting multiple visualizations from several authors will not be allowed.
Popular posts (that have 100+ upvotes) posted in this subreddit within the past 2 months cannot be resubmitted. Please check /new or search for a couple keywords before posting.
Describing the data plainly
This rule was crafted due to the high amounts of sensationalism we started seeing in this subreddit.
The title of your post should avoid:
- ALL CAPS, which is BASICALLY SHOUTING.
- Same thing with exclamation marks!!!
- Phrases like "you won't believe", in "one simple chart", and other clickbait headlines
- Sweeping generalizations, impending doom, wild conclusions or postulations, especially if they have nothing to do with the visual or are based on outliers
- Keywords like "Amazing", "Incredible", "Shocking", "Stunning".
- Superlatives, when they don't apply.
It doesn't matter if you copied and pasted the title from the article; sensationalism is sensationalism. Let the visual's "amazingness" stand for itself; good design should be its own headline. If the graph is showing "Baseball player batting averages by season", then that should be your title.
While not required, it's good principle to avoid putting conclusions in your title, and also avoid pointing out the outliers. Instead of titling "Tribbles are wigglier!" or "This Tribble is falling behind", simply post "Tribble wiggliness over time" and let the readers come to their own conclusion in the comments.
We have a restriction on political posts, especially given the popularity of this sub and the massive flareup in political content. American Politics are only permitted on Thursdays (ET). It's still our most popular rule to date, and our loyal readers had been asking for it for ages.
A lot of great content often gets posted in this sub. But these posts get completely overlooked because of political bandwagoning on submissions; often submissions that the voter didn't read at all, but upvoted because it reaffirms their political bias at the time. This phenomenon has been choking out a lot of the often very good, high-quality submissions that actually do belong in this subreddit, and what made this sub a powerhouse of awesome content in its history before default.
What qualifies as Politics?
A quick rule of thumb: if you can find a flamewar about the United States people or policy on your Facebook feed, it's likely going to be removed if you post it here. Topics in the news, culture wars, outrage porn, federal policy; essentially, stuff that's about America and guaranteed to generate a good amount of heat in the comments section.
But in case that's not clear enough, included are common examples below. (Included are the examples below, not limited to)
Topics that are not gonna fly unless you post on Thursday:
- The Federal budget, especially when there are budget talks in Congress
- Gun policy, gun deaths, praising/complaining about guns. (An exception: if you went to a shooting range and made a heatmap of your targets, that's OK. We're concerned more specifically with guns as they relate to policy in the US and the flamewars they create in the comments section.)
- Trump, Hillary, Jeb, Bernie, Obama, Bush, and other knuckleheads, their Twitters, their personalities, whatever.
- X statistic by Party, by Presidential Administration, by control over House/Senate, etc.
- What politicians think about Global Warming policy in the US, Paris Climate Deal visuals, etc.
- US healthcare stats, US healthcare policy, US healthcare bankruptcies, how US healthcare is awful, US compared to other countries, US healthcare anything.
- Why it should be legal to smoke weed in the US.
- Information about a recent protest.
Here are some topics that are likely OK to post (and why):
- The EU budget (Remember: the rule restricts American politics, it doesn't restrict European, Canadian, Australian, etc. politics)
- A heatmap of last week's target practice with your AR-15 (see above)
- UK election results (Remember: the rule restricts American politics, it doesn't restrict European, Canadian, Australian, etc. politics)
- Global Warming (As long as it doesn't relate directly to policy in the US, or knuckleheads who said a thing, it should be fine)
- Marijuana sales (Again, as long as it isn't directly preaching about policy in the US, or knuckleheads who said a thing, it should be fine)
- The history of Alcohol Prohibition in the US (Policy that's 100 years old is probably going to be fine, as long as it's not preachy about modern policy)
- Information about a protest that happened in 1932 (again, as long as it's not preaching about modern protesting)
All we're asking is for you to hold on to the political visuals in your browser tab until Thursday, Eastern Time. If you need a reminder, try sending a PM to this little fella, or using a scheduler.
Why Thursday?
A lot of political events in the US occur on Tuesdays. This includes primary votes, elections, gubernatorial events, and so on. This kind of timeline gives viz designers (professionals as well as amateurs) roughly 36 hours to work with the data, perform the analysis, and finally design the visual.
Why all the rules? Why not let the votes decide?
The official Reddit FAQ answers this exact question:
The reason there are separate subreddits is to allow niche communities to form, instead of having one monolithic overall community. These communities distinguish themselves with a unique focus, look and policies: what's on- and off-topic there, whether people are expected to behave civilly or can feel free to be brutal, etc.
One issue that arises is that casual, new, or transient visitors to a particular community don't always know the rules that tie it together.
As an example, imagine a /r/swimming and a /r/scuba. People can read about one topic or the other (or subscribe to both). But since scuba divers like to swim, a casual user might start submitting swimming links on /r/scuba. And these stories will probably get upvoted, especially by people who see the links on the reddit front page and don't look closely at where they're posted. If left alone, /r/scuba will just become another /r/swimming and there won't be a place to go to find an uncluttered listing of scuba news.
The fix is for the /r/scuba moderators to remove the offtopic links, and ideally to teach the submitters about the more appropriate /r/swimming subreddit.
Self-promotion, spam, and you
Dataisbeautiful thrives off of the visualizations and OC our submitters make, as well as visualizations users have found. We welcome original content by our users, but please try to contribute to our community instead of just using DiB to promote your site/blog/whatever it is. Users should make 9 non-personal submissions (both posts and/or discussion-focused comments) for every post containing content they own or from which they benefit in some way. If you post a link to your visualization on your blog to /r/dataisbeautiful and to /r/infographics, you should make at least 18 comments. If more than 2-3 items on the first page of your posting history are self-promoting, it's very likely you would be considered a spammer.
- Any post on reddit, whether it is a link, text, or comment submission, that links to content that is an attempt by its author and/or submitter to gain traffic is considered self-promotion.
- Posting or linking content that does not benefit you is not considered self-promotion. Content that "benefits you" includes content you own, content you helped create, content featuring you, and content released by a company you work for.
- For comments to be considered in the ratio, they must be part of a discussion, answer questions from other users, not be short one or two-word comments, and they must not include your content. "Shotgunning" comments on random posts in order to post your content is greatly frowned upon.
- If you wish to advertise, you can do so through reddit.
Common Questions
Where can I get ____ dataset?
Try searching or asking in /r/datasets or /r/SampleSize.
How do I make a visualization?
- Don't underestimate the power of Excel, Google Docs, or Plot. A "simple" line chart (or a collection of them) can be powerful tools in conveying interesting information.
- Tableau Public and StatTrends are free tools that can make some powerful visualizations.
- If you're comfortable with programming, try d3.js, R with RStudio, or matplotlib with IPython Notebook.
- If you're really comfortable with programming and have a sufficiently complex dataset, hacking away with a graphics library (opengl, webgl, directx, canvas, etc.) is time consuming but can yield some powerful results.
Can I post a question?
Yes, but you have to include a visualization with the question. You may want to add [Critique] to the title of your post. This community can be very helpful if you want to improve an existing visualization. However, you have to show a willingness to take the first step. You can request a critique and suggestions, but you can't just ask "How do I get data and make a visualization about topic X?" See the above two questions.

Can I post my own visualization?
Please do! Be sure to add [OC] to the post title.
- Please review this guide to a great post.
- Consider submitting your work to the Wikimedia Commons for use in Wikipedia.
- Please share your data or source code. It's not required, but it can be useful. Giving everyone an opportunity improve your visualization helps everyone learn how to improve. Also, it's awesome to see different takes on a common dataset. And remember to give credit if you use someone else's code or dataset.
We prefer that DataIsBeautiful is composed of original content. The more we build off of each other's work (modifying and redesigning other submissions), the more useful DataIsBeautiful becomes.
Does appearance matter?
Yes! But pretty pictures are not the aim of this subreddit. Posts should strive to present information as effectively as possible. Part of that process is visual design. Default output from Excel, R, mapping programs, etc. can be overly cluttered and hard to understand. Try looking at font sizes, erroneous grid lines, alignment, and aliasing. A lack of good design ultimately limits the ability of a visualization to convey information.
However, don't downvote because you think a post is ugly. If you have some design experience, please add some constructive criticism, so people know how to improve.
Shouldn't it be "data ARE beautiful"?
In modern English, ''data'' is primarily treated as a mass noun. If we were discussing the beauty of an individual ''datum'', and we had many of these, then it would be plural.
Here, we refer to ''data'' as a whole, akin to water, fire, or information. "The water ARE cold" is not correct.
Oxford English Dictionary:
In modern non-scientific use, however, it is generally not treated as a plural. Instead, it is treated as a mass noun, similar to a word like information, which takes a singular verb. Sentences such as data was collected over a number of years are now widely accepted in standard English.
Guardian style guide:
takes a singular verb (like agenda), though strictly a plural; no one ever uses "agendum" or "datum"
"Data" has become a synonym for "dataset" or "information". And the word "datum" is of little practicality in the context of visualization design, where it could refer to a row, a cell, or a bit.
TL;DR: "Data is beautiful" is a grammatically (and semantically) correct statement.
Here's some data on the use of "data" by /u/philshem
Haha, Data from Star Trek IS beautiful
Seriously, it was funny the first fifty times. Now it's annoying. Go bother these guys instead.

Pittsburgh Behold Your God!
Here's a typical Pittsburgh reaction: We'll Behold Our Own God, Thank You Very Much." That was actually the title of a column in the city's second most widely read newspaper, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. You can see it here.
We also had a letter to the editor published in response to a previous article in the Post Gazette:
We're Not Outcasts
I thank Ann Rodgers for her balanced story on our Behold Your God campaign this month ("Jews for Jesus on Way to Town: Two-Week Stop Part of Worldwide Outreach," Sept. 18). I do, however, want to comment on the quote by Lisa Steindel, director of the Pittsburgh chapter of the American Jewish Committee, who charges that we are deceptive.
Behold Your God is about talking to those Jewish people who want to find out about Jesus. Saying that those who do consider the message are victims of deception demeans Jews and Christians in Pittsburgh. It grieves us that instead of dealing with and debating the issue—is Jesus the promised messiah of Israel?—we are treated like sinister outcasts. Isn't this a place where all people can think for themselves?
Garrett Smith
We had a great debate between Dr. Michael Brown (a Jewish believer in Jesus who is well versed in countering anti-missionariy arguments) and Rabbi Boteach. At least 400 people attended, of which about half were students. From what we could tell there were at least 100 Jewish people in the audience. Michael Brown told us that a Jewish student came up to him after and said "I felt both loved and offended at the same time!"
Some Christian friends of ours picked up one of our broadside tracts from the ground in Squirrel Hill (a predominantly Jewish area) before driving to Erie. The waiter at the restaurant where they ate was Jewish. The couple witnessed to him and then the husband pulled the tract from his pocket and asked the waiter, Joshua, to read it. He said that he would. Pray that this little gospel seed will bear fruit.
One student wrote in University of Pittsburgh News (a campus newspaper), "The complete lack of respect that Jews for Jesus show in their unwillingness to understand and tolerate real Jews' choice not to recognize Christ demonstrates their own lack of humility, understanding and respect." Convoluted though the sentence may be, it once again spells out that in today's society, humility is seen as a lack of conviction, and tolerance is seen as a commitment to the notion that one's religious beliefs ought to be kept to oneself.
From campaigner Deb Banhart: "I was in Squirrel Hill last week and felt a tremendous amount of resistance. Two days later when I went returned to the area, my teammate and I ran into a Christian woman. She got so excited that she ran back into the building where she and seven of her Christian friends committed to pray for us. After that, the whole atmosphere of Squirrel Hill changed. I had good conversations with three Jewish people."
Campaigner Harry Brown reports: "On Forbes and Grant, a young man came up and asked, 'Do you have time to talk with me?' He said he was a drug addict and that he knew he was doing wrong. Two years ago his mother had committed suicide. That day Ben asked Jesus to forgive his sins. Please pray for him to grow in faith and be delivered from substance abuse."
Campaigner Rick Banhart reports: "On campus at Carnegie Mellon University I met a very difficult, resistant crowd. I said, 'Lord, you ask us to be prepared to give an answer to anyone who asks. Please give me someone.' I met Dan, who asked me how Jews could believe in Jesus. I turned to Isaiah 48. He read out loud, verses 12 through 16. Then he read Jeremiah 31. I asked, 'Is there any reason you wouldn't want to consider accepting your Messiah?' He said he wanted to get together and talk a little more. Pray for Dan's salvation."
Garrett Smith reports: "I was walking Forbes Boulevard on Squirrel Hill during a noontime sortie last week, when an elderly, slightly stooped Jewish man approached and asked if I was Jewish and what had made me convert. His demeanor was gentle and sincere. I told him that I am still Jewish, but that I have found my Messiah. I told him how I had searched the Tanakh and had seen so many passages written by our prophets that clearly pointed to the fact that Yeshua truly is our Messiah. He appeared to be considering my story. I asked if he had a Bible and if he would read Isaiah 53, and he volunteered that he would read it that evening. His eyes and facial expressions showed that he was really searching. Pleae pray for this man and many like him who did not necessarily give us their contact information, but who seem interested enough to talk and to search their Scriptures."

I have some family staying with us tonight on their way to another family member's home for Thanksgiving…I got a text from one of the family members (a person who married into the family, so a spouse of my relative) and he said they will be in at roughly midnight tonight and will leave "after breakfast" tomorrow. Does that mean I have to feed them!!?!?! I have a doctors appointment at 9:00 am tomorrow and my husband has plans to be elsewhere early in the morning. I find this so bold of him.

Another fine example of that high typographic art form known as 'Brown Bin Graffiti' brought to you, yet again, from West Norfolk.
Strangely it doesn't let the offenders, and we assume they're persistent offenders, know what the penalty is if they get caught red or brown-handed in the act of depositing 'dog poo' in the bin. We've seen gates with notices on warning people that the householder has a shotgun and will use it but that would be a somewhat noisy solution. We think it would be a crossbow or bow, something silent but deadly.
Then it would be into the bin and away to the council digester or composter.
Please and thank you, full marks for the good manners.

Tournament lacrosse - Turf field venues in Pennsylvania from West Chester to Downingtown were teeming with girls' lacrosse talent last weekend with teams from Texas , Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, Chicago and the Eastern Shore of the Delmarva Peninsula. The older 2013-14 Eastern Shore team was coached by Zen Master P.J. Kesmodel and the younger 2015-16 team by Dave Frederick. Kesmodel's team won the championship in its division while the Frederick team lost to a New York squad by a goal in the championship game. I was with the younger team on Sunday and watched the girls play four full 50-minute games from 10.a.m to 4 p.m. Intellectually, that sounds crazy and ill advised, begging for an overuse injury. Can any animal look more tired, beleaguered and cranky than a teenage girl awakened at 6 a.m.? Speaking of googling ACL injuries in young women, I found this, "Females have a biomechanical disadvantage to males when it comes to ACL strength and stability." Now, I'm not orthopedic surgeon John Spieker, which is a comparison that would make him wince in pain, but that has proven to be pretty much if not absolutely true. If you think a teenage athlete awakened before she's ready is a tough person to deal with, try one with an ACL injury. Preventative stretching and strengthening exercises are the key but no guarantee of injury prevention.
Climbing hills - "Have fun out there and remember to do your best because college coaches are watching and also remember 'no pressure.'" The pressure on young athletes to perform can lead to an implosion and sudden rejection of the entire process, because there comes a point when enough is, in fact, enough. Summer camps and travel tournaments where canopies and coolers rim the pitch where players perform are fun if you don't have to play bunches of games over three days but just sit in a webbed chair sucking down bottled water and eating hoagies. Note: water with a hoagie is as offensive as throwing away a hotdog bun.
Foot Locker - This re-lax ref's dogs were barking after three days and 10 games and no one needs their barefoot in the park picture taken by some sneaking photographer but seriously that doesn't look like a working man's foot; they tend to be discolored, cracked and dry with hammer toes. Who invented feet anyway?
Olympics of Mind - Back when my 35-year-old twin sons were 9, they were drafted onto a Little League baseball team where the starting infield was made up of Olympics of the Mind veterans which meant on a grounder with runners on base and less than two out they had no idea where to throw the ball, assuming someone caught it. Last Sunday I watched Cape's Corrine Cannon play four games of lacrosse as a defender. I know she's smart and has a theatrical/comedic side, but that girl can play and play smart, and her dad Gary is 6-foot-5 and played football at Villanova and Delaware so watch out "a star is born" may be made into a musical?
Snippets - The Gold All-Star team football scrimmage is at Milford on Wednesday night at 5:30. I showed up a week early last Wednesday because I am that guy. Who was Robert of "Robert's Rules of Order," because someone needs to find and smack him. Ordinary people sit around tables and members of boards and play "Rules of Order" games quite often at the expense of actually communicating. Yes, I was at a Cape school board meeting - begging for something - and told them, "I am the king of informality," to which Board President Sarah Wilkinson replied "You never followed the rules in your life; no sense in starting now." Don't forget the informal and friendly recognition and induction of Tom Hickman into Legends Stadium will be Sunday, July 15, at 10 a.m. in the Cape High cafeteria and later will move to the field house. All friends of coach Tom Hickman are invited and yes, he will be there. Can I get a second on that? The Cape baseball job has been officially reopened and Dave Doherty is no longer the coach. I saw Dave last Saturday morning at the Milton Irish Eyes 5K. I have known him 25 years. He was supporting his wife Linda who ran in the race. Neither of us talked baseball but rather pond fishing and how we'd each look better pond fishing sporting a ball cap with fishing license pinned to the back, bottom fishing for freshwater carp. Cape baseball has been chewing up coaches and spitting them out like boiled wieners; I can name three over the last six years. Next question: Who wants that job? To quote the late Milt Roberts, "Not this gobbler." Go on now, git!

A Paradise For Rescued Birds
However, it also offers an important service in that it accepts previously caged birds and tiny monkeys whose owners want to give them a better life.
The creatures live under a wire mesh dome which covers over 2.3 hectares of lush indigenous forest, with a volume of over 375 000 kilolitres.
To more easily visualise the dome's surface area, imagine an international rugby field, which has a total playing area of roughly one hectare including the area behind the dead ball line. Then imagine two and a half rugby fields next to each other. In volume terms, a kilolitre contains 1 000 litres.
At its maximum height the dome soars 55m above the ground, giving the birds plenty of room to fly. It's supported by a network of cables running between 28 masts which vary in height between 2m and 34m. According to Birds of Eden, the mesh and supporting structures weigh about 80 tons.
The dome encloses a dam for waterfowl and a gorge with a waterfall. The forest vegetation is Afromontane, and includes tree species such as Ironwood olive (Olea capensis), the Outeniqua yellowwood (Podocarpus falcatus), the black (Ocotea bullata) and white (Celtis african) stinkwood, and the Cape beech (Rapanea melanophloeos).
Bird lovers may opt to take the official guidebook and wander through the dome on their own, over some 1.2km of walkways, or as part of a guided tour. The majority of walkways are elevated, so visitors can get close to birds perching in trees.
Birds of Eden is affiliated with the next-door Monkeyland primate sanctuary, and both are run under the South African Animal Sanctuary Alliance, previously known as the Touch a Monkey's Heart Foundation.
Monkeyland operates on much the same principles with its four-legged charges, although there is no covered dome but rather a 6.5m-high electrified fence surrounding the 12ha of primate paradise.
Some monkey species, such as tamarins and marmosets, are too small to be released into the larger sanctuary, and these are the ones who've found a home next door with the birds under the dome.
A second chance
Among Birds of Eden's 204 different species are waterfowl, louries, toucans, macaws and parrots, lorikeets and parakeets, cranes, flamingos, starlings and robins – but no raptors.
There are over 3 500 individual birds in the dome, which is also home to leopard tortoise, several species of snake, little duikers, and other creatures.
"We take previously caged birds, mostly exotics," says Lee Dekker, manager of the sanctuary. "African birds can in many cases be released, but birds that originate from further afield simply won't survive in the wild."
Birds are also taken in after SPCA confiscations, or may come from zoos or experimental facilities.
Using a tried and tested technique called the Eden Syndrome, staff prepare birds for their new life.
In the pre-release stage, which can take many months, the birds are dehumanised, put onto the right diet for their species, and allowed to socialise with others in a large aviary. Here they can also build up their flight muscles, especially if they've had to sit on a perch in a cage for a long time.
"When we receive a bird we do a health test so that we know what we have to do to get it flying fit," says Dekker. "The birds are put onto a natural diet and are closely monitored after their release."
Most birds are easily able to recognise their own kind but, says Dekker, some have made friendships across the species divide.
Their natural instincts are also unimpaired – when they get released into the main dome, it doesn't take them long to find the spot that's exactly suited for them.
Colourful characters
Over the years, many colourful characters have found their way into the hearts of staff and visitors.
One of these is 38-year-old Meisiekind, a Catalina macaw, who has lived in cages for most of her life. Meisie was frustrated with her circumstances and when her owners had a baby, the bird became angry that she wasn't getting all the attention, which added to her temper problem. Finally, she bit her rival's finger off and while surgeons were able to reattach the child's finger, the macaw had to go. Birds of Eden was the answer.
Rosie the galah cockatoo is another celebrity bird. Australian in origin, the galah is one of the most common and widespread of Australian birds. True to her name, Rosie is pink and grey in colour and is a confident and friendly bird, often greeting visitors by asking, "Hello, what's the time?" It took 18 months to get Rosie ready for release into the dome, but she has settled in and is now familiar with all parts of her new home.
Before any of these creatures can be released into the dome or the larger enclosure, they have to be able to find food and shelter on their own and be able to fly or move around with confidence. Feeding platforms throughout the forest offer a selection of seeds, fruit, vegetables and nuts, and the birds and monkeys have to learn firstly that the platforms exist and secondly, how to find them.
But thanks to the Eden Syndrome, says Dekker, Birds of Eden has never had a failure.

Companies like Encompass Media Group showcase the true potential and power of alternative media in the out-of-home industry. They're creative, exciting and reliable, everything a client wants in an alternative media company.
EMG started in 2002 when they saw a need for a company who could reach consumers at multiple times in their day.
"Back when we started, alternative media was the wild west," co-owner Don Winter said.
The founders began with 5 media offerings: coffee cup and sleeve advertising, truck side advertising, dry cleaning advertising and pizza box advertising.
"There was a very favorable response to the alternative media space." Winter said. "Just starting out you don't get a ton of traction. But once you get that big first deal it kind of snowballs."
EMG knew they had to legitimize both the alternative industry and their company if they wanted to survive. EMG differentiates themselves from other alternative groups because of their emphasis on backend of operations.
Flash forward to 2016 and EMG offers over 30 media channels. Their numbers speak volumes with over 4,000 campaigns in the past 10 years.
"We work with well-known, recognizable brands that everyone is familiar with," said Winter.
When the great recession hit and many companies folded EMG grew in business. Something co-owners Don Winter and Adam Pierce credit to clients' trust in their business.
"Agencies and clients trust us."
But EMG isn't done yet. Both Don and Adam are constantly looking for new and exciting networks to bring their clients.

- The Childhood Friend: 4
Kitsune and Sasuke Fan Fiction
(Kitsune is a character made by me.)
I'm Starting To Like You
It was another day. 7:00am to be exact.
Kitsune was walking to the Ramen Shop she saw yesterday. She thought of having a part time job.
She's living with Sayuri until she gets the money to rent her own apartment. Sayuri was born with a rich family that's why she had her own apartment.
Kitsune enters the Ramen Shop and finds a blonde haired boy with an orange jacket and pants. It was Naruto. "Naruto-kun! Hi!" Kitsune greeted him with a smile. " Oi! Tachikawa-chan. Ohayo." Naruto replied while slurpping noodles from the bowl. "So you like ramen huh?" Kitsune started conversation. "Yeah! I LOVE it!" Naruto replied with a big smile on his face. "Hmm. I see." Kitsune answers. "I'm going get a part time job. I'm gonna work here." Kitsune informed. "Um? Really!" Naruto said with a gasp. "Yeah! I'm gonna need some money for an apartment." Kitsune answered not mentioning her grandfather. "Oh.I See. I can help you get the job! I'm close to the guy who owns this place." Naruto said pointing to the man who owns the ramen shop. "HEY OLD MAN!" Naruto shouted to the man. The man twitched in hearing Naruto. "What is is Naruto-kun?" the man said smiling. "My friend needs a part time job." Naruto informed the man while pointing to Kitsune. "Oh! What is you name young lady?" the man asked Kitsune. "Ohayo. My name is Tachikawa!" Kitsune answered bowing her head. "Tachikawa-chan, since you're a friend of Naruto here, I'm going to hire you right now." the man said patting Naruto's head. "Hai!" Kitsune bowed. "Arigatoh Naruto-kun!" Kitsune hugged Naruto to show thanks. Naruto blushed a little "Heheh. No problem Tachikawa-chan." Naruto said scratching his nose. " To show my thanks, I'm gonna order 5 more Ramen bowls for you Naruto-kun!" Kitsune said smiling. "REALLY!? WAAHAHAA! TACHIKAWA-CHAN! I THINK I LOVE YOU!!!" Naruto shouted teary eyed. Kitsune laughs knowing what Naruto said about he loves her is a joke.
---Ninja Academy---
All the students are in the classroom.
They were seated on their same chairs as yesterday.
The class started. Kitsune enters the room. Naruto and Sasuke sees her enter. Kitsune sat on her seat beside Sasuke. Naruto transferred to the vacant chair beside Kitsune. " Tachikawa-chan! Thanks again for the ramen!" Naruto said smiling at Kitsune. "No problem Naruto-kun!" Kitsune answered also smiling. "You helped me get a part time job anyway." Kitsune continued. "
"You got a part time job?" Sasuke asked, hearing their conversation. "Yeah! I helped her get the job! She's working in my favorite ramen shop." Naruto answered his hands on Kitsune's shoulders. Kitsune just smiled. "Um." Sasuke said with a straight face.
---After class outside the school building---
Sasuke is walking with Naruto.
"You know what Sasuke, Tachikawa-chan is not half bad. She's better than Sakura. Sakura keeps on punching me. But Tachikawa-chan always buys ramen for me." Naruto said smiling with his hands at the back of his neck for his head to rest on. "Hmm. Sure whatever." Sasuke said slighty blushing hard for Naruto to see. "Say! Why don't we pay Tachikawa-chan a visit? I'm sure she'll give us free ramen!" Naruto informed. Sasuke followed Naruto to the ramen shop.
---Ramen Shop---
"TACHIKAWA-CHAAAN!" Naruto shouted entering the shop. "Naruto-kun! Konichiwa!" Kitsune turned to him serving a bowl of ramen to a costumer. Sasuke entered ramen shop not saying anything. "Sasuke-kun. Your here too." Kitsune said walking towards Naruto. "Are you guys here for ramen?" Kitsune asked. "Yeah Kitsune-chan. The usual please!" Naruto said smiling. "What about you Sasuke-kun?" Kitsune asked Sasuke putting her finger on his nose. "I-I'd like to have what Naruto is having." Sasuke said blushing. "Okay then guys! Find a spot!" Kitsune said smiling and putting her hands behind her back.
Kitsune turns around and headed to the kitchen. "TACHIKAWA-CHAN!" Naruto shouted to her. Kitsune turns to them again. "YOU LOOK GOOD IN YOUR UNIFORM!" Naruto continued smiling and slightly blushing. Sasuke looks at Kitsune and sees her in the uniform. He just noticed it now. He turned red. She actually looked good in the uniform. Kitsune was wearing a black offshoulder short dress. The dress was just above her knees but a little higher. She's wearing a white apron over the dress. She's also wearing a maid-like hat.
A few minutes later. Kitsune comes out of the kitchen with Naruto and Sasuke's ramen. She was holding the tray with one hand. " Naruto-kun! Sasuke-kun! Here's your order!" Kitsune arrived at their table. Kitsune places their orders on the table. "Naruto-kun? Where's Sasuke-kun?" Kitsune asked looking for Sasuke. "Oh Sasuke had to use the restroom." Naruto answered slurpping his ramen. "Oh okey then." Kitsune replied. "TACHIKAWA-CHAN!" the man who owns the ramen shop called out to her. "Can you put this mop back at the closet near the restrooms?" the man ordered Kitsune. Kitsune took the mop and headed to the restrooms. She was dragging the mop so the mop left water trails. Kitsune puts the mop back in the closet. When she started to walk she slipped because of the water trail the mop left behind. "KYA!!!" She fell to the ground on her back. "Itai..." Kitsune whispered. She can't stand up for she had a really rough fall. Sasuke suddenly comes out of the restroom and also slipped. "Huuwah!" Sasuke shouted as he slipped. Sasuke fell to the ground. He didn't notice that he was leaning over Kitsune his eyes were closed. " S-Sa-Sasuke-kun?" Kitsune said blushing, knowing that they were in an awkward position. Sasuke opens his eyes. He now knows they were in an awkward position. He blushed and swiftly stood up. "G-Gomenasai Tachikawa-chan." Sasuke said holding out a hand still blushing. Kitsune grabs Sasuke's hand and Sasuke helps her up. Kitsune straightens her dress and apron. "Your ramen is at the table. You better eat it now or Naruto will finish it up." Kitsune said smiling, with her hands behind her back, still blushing. "O-Okay." Sasuke replied still blushing and he walks to their table.
Kitsune walks to the counter and talked to one of her co-workers. Sasuke was looking at her while slurpping his ramen. Kitsune was laughing. Her smile was so beautiful. Sasuke blushed in seeing the scene.
---Uchiha Mansion---
Sasuke is in his room sitting on the side of his bed.
He was thinking about Kitsune.
"Tachikawa-chan..." he whispered to himself.
He then shook his head. " Why can't I take her out of my mind?!" he thought.
"Could it be, that I'm starting to like Tachikawa-chan?" Sasuke said his head resting on his hands.

Congress has discussed creating a Space Corps to counter Russia and China's aim to develop anti-satellite weaponry.
While speaking to US Marines in San Diego on Tuesday, President Donald Trump suggested creating a branch of the military for space.
"My new national strategy for space recognizes that space is a war-fighting domain just like the land, air and sea," Trump said at Miramar Air Station. "We may even have a Space Force."
"You know, I was saying it the other day cause we're doing a tremendous amount of work in space," Trump said. "I said 'maybe we need a new force, we'll call it the space force.' And I was not really serious, and then I said 'what a great idea, maybe we'll have to do that.'"
"That could happen, that could be the big breaking story," Trump said. "Look at all those people back there," Trump said, pointing to the media in the background. "Look at them...Ohhhh, that fake news."
While Trump appears to have wandered into the issue in his Tuesday speech, the idea is not new.
The Congressional Strategic Forces Subcommittee even proposed creating such a branch last July, which they called Space Corps. But the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act that passed last November actually banned it.
The proposed Space Corps would have fallen under the Air Force branch.
Republican Mike Rogers, the chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, however, said in February that he expects such a force to be built in three to five years, according to Defense News.
Supporters of the Space Corps have argued that it's needed to counter Russia and China's desire to build anti-satellite weaponry.

BOCA RATON — The Fats and Uglys beat the Pregnant Women on the Run. But the Pregnant Women on the Run beat the Boca Raton Police Department.
There`s more.
Mike Angus of the Coronado Ocean Club, after sprinting to finish the first 4.8-mile leg couldn`t find his team`s second runner, John Boynton, and ended up running the second leg (2.4 miles). The two had never met and Boynton didn`t get a team shirt in time.
Still with us?
Former New York Ranger Lou Loungo started drinking beer at 5:30 in the morning with his Zimmer-Johns & Associates teammates to get psyched to run his 1.8-mile leg.
Every team had its own story in Saturday`s inaugural Boca Delray Relay Marathon, which started early Saturday morning in 48-degree weather in downtown Boca Raton and ended 26.2 miles (eight legs) later at Boca Pointe. After the lead police car led the runners off course for one block at the start of the race and the traffic was brought under control, the race turned into one big, happy family -- literally.
``Let`s hear it for all the babies with headaches after today`s race,`` said the race announcer as Kathy Johnsen of Coconut Creek finished the 3.5 anchor leg for Pregnant Women on the Run, carrying a bright pink dog rattle as her baton, in 35 minutes. The team finished 73rd out of 74 teams in 4:04:56.
There were no pickles at the finish, but plenty of hot dogs. Her seven teammates (five pregnant and two who had run during earlier pregnancies) were already busy eating, waiting for Johnsen to finish. Millie Wood handed Johnsen a hot dog at the finish line.
``We thought we were going to be last. How much more of a handicap can you have?`` Wood said.
``I almost beat the Fats and Uglys,`` Johnsen said.

The dismissals came amid allegations of corruption relating to shipments of nuclear spent fuel from Bulgaria. However, sources close to the ministry said the changes simply reflected Rumyantsev's desire to bring in his own people.
Revmir Fraishtut, president of Tekhsnabeksport (Tenex) also resigned. A Tenex shareholders meeting is to elect a new general director in February. In the meantime, St Petersburg entrepreneur Vladimir Smirnov has been filling in as acting general director.
Nikolay Shingarev, head of Minatom's public relations department denied that the resignation was linked with an announcement by the State Audit Chamber which concluded that Russia was facing a crisis in the storage and disposal of radwaste and spent nuclear fuel. He also dismissed suggestions that it was the result of complaints from environment protection organisations regarding the transport to Russia of spent nuclear fuel from Bulgarian Kozloduy nuclear plant. The Audit Chamber said that, over the past 50 years, Russia has accumulated waste with a combined radioactivity of more than 6 billion Curies that it does not have the capacity to store and nuclear storage facilities were on the verge of collapse due to a lack of government attention, funding and legislation. "Most of the storage facilities are nearly full, and the equipment is in need of urgent modernisation and repair," the chamber said. It said a 1996-2000 government programme for nuclear waste disposal received only 10.7% of the necessary funding. Funds had been misappropriated, the Chamber added and it will send a report of its investigation to both houses of parliament, the Cabinet, the Atomic Energy Ministry and the Finance Ministry.

Over the years, chinaSMACK has endeavored to provide a glimpse into what Chinese netizens are looking at and talking about. We do this by translating the original Chinese content and comments into English. We do this to make it accessible to readers both inside and outside of China who are interested in Chinese internet pop culture but don't read Chinese.
We've enjoyed unexpected success with this editorial mission, to the point where chinaSMACK has become one of the most popular English-language sites about China. We're humbled by this, by the support of our fans, who know what we're trying to do and appreciate our hard work.
We regularly get complaints from people both in our lively comments section and through email that this or that story we've covered isn't relevant to their interests. For example:
For the most part, we have staunchly stuck to our principle of presenting what Chinese netizens are seemingly interested in rather than what our core audience of expats and foreigners might be interested in.
We're not going to stop doing that, but we can no longer ignore the demands of our audience.
Over the next month, we'll be phasing in coverage for the stories, topics, issues, the "news" that expats and foreigners care most about when it comes to modern China and Chinese society. This includes government corruption, state media censorship, and criticisms of the pervasive social norms that mark Chinese society as backwards relative to the rest of the world.
We won't abandon our beloved format either. A key part of chinaSMACK's appeal over the years has been our pairing of what netizens are responding to with what they are responding with. In other words, expat and foreign netizen reactions will be part of this coverage. This is because like Chinese netizen comments, how people are responding often helps our readers better understand the story, as well as why the story was popular in the first place.
Also like our coverage of the Chinese internet, we will source our stories and reactions from the most popular websites and internet social media platforms where expats and foreigners congregate to discuss topics involving China. We will present these stories and reactions as they are, with minimal editorializing and commentary, choosing the most popular comments whenever possible with the understanding that doing so doesn't represent everything, but it still represents something.
As usual, we welcome tips and contributions from our readers. If you notice a viral or trending article, picture, or video relevant to the interests of expats and foreigners, please let us know by sending us an email through our contact form.
chinaSMACK wouldn't be where it is without its contributors and this remains true as we expand our coverage to cater to what our audience wants.

Iowa State's 84-74 victory over Alabama in the CBE Classic semifinal Monday before 8,321 at the Sprint Center required every flurry the Cyclones could generate, from familiar players — and one who was suiting up for the first time this season.
The newbie was Matt Thomas, one of two Cyclones who missed the exhibition games and first two regular season contests after violating unspecified team rules.
Thomas was at his sharpshooting best midway through the second half when he buried deep three-pointers on successive possessions and erased a Crimson Tide lead. He also topped Iowa State with eight rebounds, several of the hustle variety.
"Everything was flowing, I was just having fun," Thomas said.
Alabama caught up and passed Iowa State again, and this time Naz Long provided the play of the night, swishing a corner three pointer while getting his hand smacked by Alabama's Riley Norris.
Long completed the four-point play with 10:49 remaining, and scored the next four points on free throws for a personal run that gave the Cyclones a lead they wouldn't surrender.
"They made timely shots," Alabama coach Anthony Grant said. "We'd get some momentum, and it seemed like they'd come up with a play or two and change it.
Early and late, the punch was provided by Georges Niang, who proved why he's among the nation's most versatile offensive players, scoring at the basket and from deep to stake the Cyclones to a halftime lead.
Niang finished with 28 points, and he was on the receiving end of some of Monte Morris' 12 assists.
Niang, is looking for a big season after his previous one ended prematurely. He suffered a broken bone in his foot during the Cyclones' first NCAA Tournament game last season against North Carolina Central.
Iowa State had enough to beat North Carolina in the second round, but fell short in the Sweet 16 against Connecticut. Niang averaged 16.7 points last season and is off to a faster start this season.
But Thomas and Long were the top guns against an Alabama zone in the second half that proved effective. Iowa State shot 58 percent, making 29 of 50.
"That's the makeup of our group," Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg said. "Whoever the hot guy is we're going to go to him."
Iowa State will meet Maryland in the championship game at 8:30 p.m.
Alabama got 27 points from Rodney Cooper.
Maryland 78, Arizona State 73
Maryland's Melo Trimble delivered the best outing of his four-game college career with 31 points in the Terrapins' victory over Arizona State. But he didn't author all of his team's big moments.
Dez Wells, the team's top returning player, put Maryland ahead to stay on a turnaround one-hander in the lane with 38 seconds remaining.
"When the game was on the line, we went through Dez," said Maryland coach Mark Turgeon.
That was the idea in the final minute of a game that was tight throughout. Trimble got the Terps there with free throws that tied the game at 73-73 with 1:22 remaining, and another pair that gave Maryland a four-point cushion at the 18-second mark.
But the game's pivotal moment belonged to Wells, who finished with 12 of his 14 points in the second half, and helped make a winner of Turgeon, the Topeka native and Kansas guard who had coached at Wichita State and Texas A&M.
"Dez brings the energy and I try to match it," Trimble said.
Arizona State's Jon Gilling tied a CBE Classic record with seven three-pointers — in 10 attempts — for his 21 points.
The Sun Devils will meet Alabama at 6 p.m. in the consolation game.
Central Missouri at Sprint Center
Defending Division II champion Central Missouri will meet Quincy at 2 p.m. today at the Sprint Center. Admission is free. The Mules are 4-0.

Don't risk a claim against your deposit
To minimise any risk of a claim against your deposit it is vital to return the property in good, clean condition. The property will be checked against the thorough independent inventory created when you checked in, so if you take time to ensure it is returned in the same condition all should be fine. If you fail to do this you could risk claims on your deposit, and/or long delays.
If you have inserted nails or screws into the walls during your tenancy, or walls have developed marks, then you should touch up or paint the walls where necessary, ensuring it is the same colour as agreed with the Landlord. If you don`t know the paint colour then please ask us or your landlord.
The entire property should be cleared of ALL your items and thoroughly cleaned. The cooker, hob and extractor should be 'professionally' cleaned immediately prior to your vacation, especially if they were 'professionally' cleaned before your tenancy. You will be expected to provide a receipt when you vacate, just as the previous occupant did before your tenancy. Please note that Oven Pride self cleaning will not be sufficient.
Carpets should also be cleaned professionally (especially if they were professionally cleaned before your tenancy). You will be expected to return them in the same condition.
The full monty - it really is worth the effort
Be sure to pay attention to the detail. Any marks made during your tenancy should be treated, removed &/or redecorated. Any damage should be repaired, windows, skirting boards, doors, cupboards, sinks and bath etc. should be cleaned and the garden should be left neat. The lawn (where relevant) must be cut and bins emptied and the loft and garage must be cleared of all items and left clean.
Commonly missed areas consist of:
Don't hesitate to contact us if you would like to know who we use for oven/carpet cleaning.
The last day - Check out
Either a member of easilett, or the independent inventory clerk, will meet you for your checkout appointment. This is when your inventory will be checked and any discrepancies or variations will be compared to the condition described when your tenancy commenced, this especially includes cleanliness.
During the check out we will:
Deposit return
Providing the property is handed over in good and clean condition then there is no reason why deductions should be claimed against your deposit, and the process for return should begin shortly after you vacate.
Protect your identity:
Just a final tip. Tenants have been known to steal the identity of previous occupants by opening their mail. We urge you to set up a mail forwarding service with the Post Office to help prevent this from happening to you.
