James Bond: Cars, catchphrases and kisses. 25 October 2012Last updated at 03:05 ET With the 23rd official film Skyfall hitting cinema screens, and the franchise marking its 50th anniversary, we look back at how the films have differed over the years, and how much they have earned. Skyfall is the third outing for Daniel Craig as 007 - but how does he match up against previous Bonds? We totalled up how much each film is estimated to have made at the box office worldwide, and our intrepid reporters sat through all 23 films to draw up definitive data on women kissed, villains dispatched and catchphrases uttered. Keep scrolling down the page to find out more. Continue reading the main story All figures are for global box office revenue, adjusted for inflation.

In 1902, Ebenezer Howard, an unassuming stenographer and amateur inventor, published one of the most influential visions in the history of city planning, called Garden Cities of To-morrow.
In it, Howard created a series of diagrams that helped to establish the orthodoxy of 20th-century city planning. The crisis behind what Howard called the “Garden City idea” — the pollution and overcrowding of the industrial city — is encapsulated in one diagram’s title: “A Group of Smokeless, Slumless Cities.”
Howard proposed decentralizing industrial cities by constructing a regionally coordinated series of smaller Garden Cities in the countryside. Linked by railroads and canals and separated by a permanent greenbelt, the Garden Cities would offer the best of both town and country life to their 32,000 residents, including employment in factories and workshops, affordable rents and abundant open space. .

Interactive: Mapping the World's Friendships. Technology bridges distance and borders. Individuals today can keep in touch with their friends and family in completely new ways — regardless of where they live. We explored these international connections through Facebook and found some trends — some predictable, some wholly unexpected, and some still inexplicable.
Who can explain the strong link between the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the poorest countries in the heart of Africa, and Ecuador? The reason the Central African Republic might be good friends with Kazakhstan is likewise mysterious to us. But as we did a little research, some unusual connections become surprisingly clear. Immigration is one of the strongest links that seems to bind these Facebook neighbors, as thousands of people pour over borders or over seas, seeking jobs or fleeing violence, and making new connections and maintaining old friendships along the way.

When we started taking a look at their customer’s behavioral patterns, we noticed that each one of those customers tended to buy a specific set of products. We found movie fans, who love the 2x1 discount in tickets, a lot of foodies, who tend to pick some specific foods from sushi to barbecue, and others who love shopping, enjoying some great discounts in clothing and accesories. This caused an interesting problem: As the number of users and products grew, the brand started feeling generic and not really tailored to anyone in particular. This posed the question: How do we make each one of those individuals feel identified with the brand? (from the website through the newsletters) We arrived at a unique solution: Making a thousand different websites for a thousand different customers By applying clustering algorithms to the consumer database we taught the servers to recognize which customers belonged to each segment.

And no one knows the term better than George Takei, a former crew member on the Enterprise who has found a whole new, outspoken identity on Facebook. Whether it’s gay rights or silly meme-riffic photos, his posts sit at the epicenter of hundreds of thousands of shares. But what does all this sharing look like beyond the like button? Facebook tapped data visualization specialists at Stamen to answer that exact question. The full design story is told over on Stamen’s blog, and it’s a worthy read. Arabesque Ultimately, watching George Takei share a simple Photoshop of Marvin the Martian becomes an almost transcendental experience. I want to use so many cliches to describe this unbelievable animation--fireworks, tentacles, spider legs, starbursts--yet they all fall a little bit short of explaining exactly what it is that we see.

Do you remember a scene in The Matrix when Neo opens his eyes and says “I know Kung Fu”? I bet you wished you could learn that fast. I know I did. I have wonderful news for you. You can become an expert in a similar way, just not as fast, by using the power of your mind. You just need to learn a technique called visualization. What is Visualization? In laymen’s terms, it means recreating all the images, sounds and feelings in your mind surrounding an activity in order to practice in a perfect environment.
It may sound hard, but let me prove to you that you can do it. Were you able to imagine the cup of coffee? Don’t worry if you didn’t catch all the details, just like any other skill, you need to practice. Some Proof That This Technique Works This example has been used to death because it proves visualization works time and time again.

Semantic event tracker (SET) is an interactive visualization tool for analyzing events (activities) in a three-dimensional environment. We model an event as an object that describes an action, its location, time, and relations to other objects. Real world event information is extracted from Internet sources, then stored and processed using Semantic Web technologies that enable us to discover semantic associations between events.
We use RDF graphs to represent semantic metadata and ontologies. SET is capable of visualizing as well as navigating through the event data in all three aspects of space, time and theme. Temporal data is illustrated as a 3D multi-line in the 3D environment that connects consecutive events. Visualizing Emancipation. Www.public.iastate.edu/~dicook/Tufte/review.pdf. Information Visualization for Knowledge Discovery – MAT 595M Seminar Series. Speaker: Ben Shneiderman, University of Maryland–College Park Abstract Interactive information visualization tools provide researchers with remarkable capabilities to support discovery. These telescopes for high-dimensional data combine powerful statistical methods with user-controlled interfaces.
Users can begin with an overview, zoom in on areas of interest, filter out unwanted items, and then click for details-on-demand. With careful design and efficient algorithms, the dynamic queries approach to data exploration can provide 100msec updates even for million-item visualizations that can represent billion-record databases.

Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".

45 Ways to Communicate Two Quantities. Back in 2010, I was giving a workshop on interactive data visualization in Lima, Perú, discussing whether a dataset has a unique or at least an ideal way to be visualized. For a simple data structure — a list of some hundreds of numbers, for instance — around half of 20 participants were convinced that there’s one way that is clearly better in communicating the data, regardless of the unit of the values, their range, meaning, context and possible aim of the visualization.
This discussion actually came out as a consequence of another idea, which resonated with most participants, as well: that there should be a guide that indicates the best way to visualize each possible dataset. So I proposed the following exercise: let’s try to find all possible ways to visualize a ludicrously small data set of two numbers. With such a tiny dataset, you would think we would complete both exercises in less than 5 minutes. The following is a list of different ways to visualize two numbers. 75 and 37 5. bars. Gradient Labs. Synchronoptic: World History Chart. Interactive Dynamics for Visual Analysis. Graphics Jeffrey Heer, Stanford University Ben Shneiderman, University of Maryland, College Park The increasing scale and availability of digital data provides an extraordinary resource for informing public policy, scientific discovery, business strategy, and even our personal lives.
To get the most out of such data, however, users must be able to make sense of it: to pursue questions, uncover patterns of interest, and identify (and potentially correct) errors. In concert with data-management systems and statistical algorithms, analysis requires contextualized human judgments regarding the domain-specific significance of the clusters, trends, and outliers discovered in data. Visualization provides a powerful means of making sense of data. The goal of this article is to assist designers, researchers, professional analysts, procurement officers, educators, and students in evaluating and creating visual analysis tools. Some visualization system designers have explored alternative approaches. 3 Trends That Will Define The Future Of Infographics.
