Research: Composition           Kirk & Wen-Mei (2016) argues that composition is the most basic requirement for a designer. The first thing a person or reader looks at when viewing at a set of data is the colour, position and presentation of the diagram. Composition form the last step for designers where they have to think of composition in a way such as the positioning of the graphics, their arrangements besides sizes of the charts, how the interactive controls, as well as annotated elements, have been used across the project and finally the decisions made regarding each table. All these considerations are observed due to the need to accomplish the final objective, which is optimum readability. Therefore, this paper will discuss composition using the project level as well as chart-level composition options. Composition The composition is considered an essential aspect of data visualization. It concerns with particular physical preferences, connections between visible possessions in which may result in efficient readings and understanding for the reader. The composition is significantly vital during project construction and emphasizes on bringing together various elements in…

Number of Household Members and Wealth Index Score Summary of the dataset The data utilized in this case was adopted from the Demographic and health survey, where a total of 6290 respondents were included in the survey. The wealth index score provides a cumulative understanding of a household’s living standards based on the integration of different measures. The different levels of living standards present a different approach, which helps define a different level emphasis under which it is easier to maintain a proper focus on individual development (Chakraborty et al., 2016). Low-income countries tend to have a very low wealthy index compared to high-income countries. This is mainly a result of different factors that present a highly specific consideration on critical aspects such as the average age of household heads, education attainment, and employment status (Duraiappah, 2018). The wealth index encompasses different factors that can be assessed independently to help understand specific concepts that help in building an understanding of individual social and economic development within a given setting. Therefore this research focuses on establishing the underlying factors which influence…

Reader Response Exercise “Dogs, the Other Victims of the Opioid Crisis” is an article by Douglas Main published in the National Geographic Magazine. The article explores how the opioid crisis has impacted dogs. According to this article, dogs are often the unrecognized victims of the opioid crisis. For instance, a recent peer-reviewed study revealed that around 600 calls are made each year to report accidental ingestion of opioids by pets (Main). Dogs are usually very curious, which results in them ending up sniffing or eating all kind of drugs. Just like in human beings, opioids can have severe effects on dogs. The article by Main left me in disbelief.  Before reading this article, I knew that the opioid crisis a serious problem in the country. I knew that the problem has negative effects on the country’s healthcare sector and the economy. However, I was not aware that the abuse and misuse of opioids was a serious problem for dogs. Most importantly, I care very much about dogs. For me, dogs are just as important as human beings. While human beings…

They further pointed out different kinds of incivility issues, such as placements. Besides, the…

Time Travel According to Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity, time is an illusion in a way that it can speed up or slow down depending on how fast you move relative to something else. According to his theory, one would age much slower moving at the speed of light through space and thus making time the fourth dimension in addition to length, width, and height-the coordinates of space. Time can also be adjusted by gravity, according to a second Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Gravity increases speed in space relative to earth, a situation proved by the GPS satellite technology where clocks gain 38 microseconds a day, calling for calibrations by engineers to adjust the difference (Howell). Scientists often disagree with the concept of time travel. Einstein’s theories make time travel an extremely difficult scenario to accomplish.His equations provide for travelling through wormholes although they would only be suitable for small particles. Stephen Hawking describes a wormhole as a theoretical tunnel that links two places in space-time where space and time are pulled into the tunnel by negative energy…
