Infographic Shows The Differences Between The Diseases We Donate To, And The Diseases That Kill Us Julia Belluz created the infographic below to compare how much money is donated to fight various disease and how many people in the USA die from those same diseases for an article in Vox. The graphic has since developed a bit of a life of its own. Belluz uses it to critique celebrity-driven campaigns for rare diseases such as the ice bucket challenge for ALS, compared to more frequent, but less glamorous conditions The discrepancy the graphic is pretty striking, and certainly worth thinking about, but it's hardly the last word. It's also relevant to think not just about numbers of deaths, but numbers of years lost. Timing is also an issue. Its certainly good to think about the way your donations can have the most impact, and if you're looking for help with that there are some great websites available. However, high profile events like the ice-bucket challenge tend to disguise how little relatively wealthy people actually give away on average. Read this next: Is the universe a hologram?
Dride - Connected Dashcam With Safety Alerts & Apps. No center stack screen? No problem - Aurora Audi relocates display behind steering wheel Audi relocates display behind steering wheel Audi's Allroad Shooting Brake concept lacks a center console screen. Related Links Related Topics Designers have been trying to devise a center console screen that could display infotainment apps without distracting the motorist. Audi's solution: Ditch the screen altogether. At the International CES show last month in Las Vegas, the German automaker showed a concept cockpit for the next-generation Audi TT that had no center console screen. All infotainment functions -- including navigation, music and phone numbers -- along with a virtual speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, etc. were displayed on a screen behind the steering wheel. In case anyone missed the point, the Audi Allroad Shooting Brake concept, which debuted last month at the Detroit auto show, also lacks a center console screen. Translation: If you're going to drive fast, we want you to look at the road, not your console. advertising
Most Underemployed Majors The Most Underemployed Majors Students choose their majors for all kinds of good reasons, including enjoying the field of study or preparing for a dream job that requires a specific degree. No one would ever suggest that undergraduates modify their decisions based solely on occupational outlook or even college ROI. But it's never a bad idea to go into a years-long commitment armed with information. For that reason, it's worthwhile to take a look at PayScale's latest research, which shows the college majors whose graduates most frequently describe themselves as underemployed. A few takeaways from the list of the most underemployed majors above: there are no STEM degrees in the mix, unsurprisingly. Also, nine of the 10 most underemployed majors are female-dominated. Then there's the fact that even an MBA is no guarantee of a job.
