This Incredible App Might Just Turbo-Charge The Speed We All Read
With the Spritz speed reader, you could read an entire novel in 90 minutes.
Here's the app. Doesn't look much, does it?
Well Frank Waldman, the CEO of Spritz, thinks it'll change the way we take in our information online.
Via spritzinc.com
Here it is running at just above average reading speed – 250 words a minute.
Ok, but speed reading apps have been around for ages, haven't they? Yes, but there's one crucial difference.
It uses a method called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation. When your eyes fixate on one point, your brain has a much better chance of processing the word.

Here it is at 400 words per minute.
Pretty impressive, huh?

Right then.

9 Glorious Infographics Through History
From the British Library’s new exhibition, Beautiful Science .
John Graunt's “Bills of Mortality”, 1662.
From 1603, London parish clerks began to collect health-related population data in order to monitor plague deaths, publishing the London Bills of Mortality on a weekly basis. John Graunt amalgamated 50 years of information from the bills in Natural and Political Observations on the Bills of Mortality (1662), producing the first known tables of public health data.
British Library / Via pressandpolicy.bl.uk
Eberhard Werner Happel's “Early Ocean Currents”, 1685.
This unusual map of 1685 illustrates ocean currents as understood at the time based on the observations of explorers and mariners. Though necessarily conjectural in many ways, it highlights the remarkable effort made by early cartographers to make sense of an accumulation of data from such reports without the visualisation tools we have today.
British Library / Via pressandpolicy.bl.uk
Florence Nightingale's “Rose Diagram”, 1854.
This the data from Florence Nightingale’s “rose diagram”. It shows not only the lasting relevance of Nightingale’s diagram as a visual icon, but also demonstrates how data can be pictured in different ways. It's a form of the pie chart now known as the polar area diagram, and was meant to illustrate seasonal sources of patient mortality in the military field hospital she managed.
British Library / Via pressandpolicy.bl.uk
John Snow's “On the Mode of Communication of Cholera”, 1855
Snow was a sceptic of the then-dominant miasma theory that stated that diseases such as cholera and bubonic plague were caused by pollution or a noxious form of “bad air”. The germ theory of disease had not yet been developed, so Snow did not understand the mechanism by which the disease was transmitted. This map didn't conclusively prove a pump was responsible, but he did convince the council to disable it.

Lady Gaga And Kelly Osbourne Have Ended Their Feud And All Is Right With The World
They’re like, totally BFFs now.
Stop what you're doing, this is very important news. Lady Gaga and Kelly Osbourne are officially over their feud.
Here they are, hanging out with Elton John at the Oscars.

So over it, in fact, that they're able to make fun of their spat.
Look at Kelly pretending to strangle Gaga as though she really hates her.
But it's fine because she's just joking.
They have decided to forgive and forget.

Look at this amazing photo of forgiveness.

It makes their whole feud seem a bit silly, doesn't it? Remember when Kelly called Gaga a 'buttaface'?

The victims described him as being approximately 6′ tall or a little taller, approximately 25 to 30 years old with no or very thin facial hair, and a muscular build. His nose was straight with no flare in the nostrils. He has short black hair and a round face, with tattoos covering both arms and a tattoo on the left side of his neck. The victim was adamant about the tattoo on his neck having a lot of red ink in it, authorities said.
