Honey-Bee Death Conclusively Linked With Pesticide Use<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nAbout: The ongoing debate about the cause of colony collapse disorder has finally ended. Mongabay recently reported that \u201cHarvard researchers have re-created the mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) in several honeybee hives simply by giving them small doses of a popular pesticide, imidacloprid.\u201dBayer pesticide linked with bee deathImidacloprid is manufactured by Bayer and the company even released a statement to say that the chemical has no effect on colony collapse. However, the Harvard research conclusively shows that the opposite is true.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Create an interactive bubble chart with HTML5 canvas | Tutorial | .net magazine<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nAbout:<\/p>\n

Josh Marinacci, software engineer, researcher, part-time designer, and general miscreant, explains how to use HTML5 canvas to build an interactive chart that works on desktop mobile and then populate it with real data<\/p>\n

Infographics are a way to make data understandable and entertaining. Some achieve their goal through creative graphic design, such as print infographics. Others achieve it through animation and interactivity. The best example I’ve recently seen is a series of talks by imaginative speaker and professor Hans Rosling. I highly recommend you watch his 20 minute whirl of a TED talk where he debunks common myths about the developing world.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
