How to make a line chart race visualization | The Flourish blog | Flourish | Data Visualization & Storytelling The world has gone crazy for bar chart race visualizations. Since we launched that template a few months ago, inspired by a chart by the FT’s John Burn-Murdoch, loads of people have made fun and engaging animated graphics with it. So today we’re unveiling a follow-on template. The line chart race builds on our long-standing “Horserace” template, but adds a cool new feature: instead of the axes being fixed, you can now turn on the “zoomed” view to keep the dots representing the competitors in the centre while the axes animate in the background. As the second example below shows, you can even set the y-axis to be dynamic as well, so the vertical scale updates as the race moves along, much like the value axis in a bar chart race. Adapted from a Flourish visualization by the Google Trends team We also made some other improvements to the underlying template. And of course the new line chart race template includes all the older features, such as: Happy racing! Make a line chart race »

Alexander meditated great marriages for his children. The general political outlook in Italy was of the gloomiest, and the country was on the eve of the catastrophe of foreign invasion. Alexander availed himself of the defeat of the French to break the power of the Orsini, following the general tendency of all the princes of the day to crush the great feudatories and establish a centralized despotism.

LibriVox | free public domain audiobooks Meet the Former Cook Who Draws His Every Meal A marbled slice of tonkotsu pork rests on a bed of yellow noodles, nestled next to three shiny green sheets of nori, some boiled spinach, and a few shreds of kikurage, or wood-ear mushroom. A pair of disposable chopsticks raises a tangle of noodles above the red bowl, as if headed to a waiting mouth just off the edge of the page. A description of the meal is printed next to the drawing, along with the price, date, and source: Family Mart, a Japanese convenience store. Itsuo Kobayashi draws what he eats every single day. While his drawings are individually compelling, each discrete element rendered in loving detail, his body of work as a whole gives an intimate window into everyday Japanese food: not the haute cuisine that is lauded by international chefs, celebrated on foodie sites, and shown off by the Japanese government. Kobayashi worked in food service from a young age. Today, Kobayashi lives with his elderly mother and spends most of his time in bed.

Rodrigo Borgia "He is Rodrigo Borgia, one of the most powerful men in all of Europe, and leader of the Templar Order." ―Mario Auditore to his nephew, Ezio.[src] Rodrigo Borgia (1431 – 1503), born Roderic Llançol i de Borja, was the head of the Catholic Church from 11 August 1492 until his death, serving as Pope Alexander VI. Originally hailing from Spain, Rodrigo moved to Italy where he studied and joined the Catholic Church. In 1488, Rodrigo was responsible for shipping an Apple of Eden from Cyprus to Venice, before it was stolen by his arch enemy Ezio Auditore da Firenze and the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins. Under the leadership of the Borgia, the Templars focused primarily on establishing their power and control in Europe, losing sight of their true ideology. Biography Early life Roderic Llançol was born at Xàtiva in the Kingdom of Valencia, one of the component states of the Crown of Aragon, present-day Spain.

Pope Alexander VI Pope Alexander VI, born Roderic Llançol i de Borja (Catalan pronunciation: [roðeˈɾiɡ ʎanˈsɔɫ i ðe ˈβɔɾdʒa], Spanish: Rodrigo Lanzol y de Borja [roˈðɾiɣo lanˈθol i ðe ˈβorxa]; 1 January 1431 – 18 August 1503) was Pope from 11 August 1492 to his death on 18 August 1503. He is one of the most controversial of the Renaissance popes, and his Italianized Valencian surname, Borgia, became a byword for libertinism and nepotism, which are traditionally considered as characterizing his papacy. However, his reputation is mostly drawn from his enemies, the Italian prelates and barons whose power he subverted. Birth and family[edit] Roderic Llançol was born on 1 January 1431, in the town of Xativa near Valencia, Spain, one of the component realms of the Crown of Aragon, in what is now Spain. Mistresses and family[edit] Before his elevation to the papacy Cardinal Borgia's passion for Vannozza somewhat diminished, and she subsequently led a very retired life. Education[edit] Personality[edit] Italy 1494
