Friday, August 29, 2014

In collaboration with the AC3 Hip Hop Festival coming up in Atlanta, on October 8-12, Pop Chart Lab has created The Periodic Table of Hip Hop, featuring 223 of the biggest names of the genre.
Produced in conjunction with A3C, hip-hop's biggest stage, this tabular arrangement of eminent MCs catalogues 223 naturally occurring, never-word-slurring artists in all, from N(as) and (Dr) Dre to (Mf) Doom and (A$)AP Rocky to (D)rake and Snoop D-O-(gg). Featuring color-coded labels indicating their favored genres--with special indicators for originators of a style--each MC has been meticulously hand-illustrated and assigned an appropriate chemical symbol, along with notations for debut year and geographic area of origin. Boasting chemistry like no science class has ever seen, this fly-entific periodic table swaps halogens and noble gasses for rap’s hallowed-gents and noble lasses—and is sure to be enjoyed far more than periodically.

The 90s iPhone Case is designed to house your iPhone in a status infused flip top case while providing protection from bumps and scratches at the same time.

The rice bucket challenge

Thursday, August 28, 2014


Inspired by the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, a woman in India has created the "Rice Bucket Challenge," which is aimed at feeding the poor in her country.
The 'rice bucket challenge' was the innovative idea of Hyderabad-based Manju Latha Kalanidhi who posted the challenge, seeking friends to cook or buy one bucketful of rice and feed the poor in the locality. One can also donate medicines worth Rs. 100 to the nearest government hospital.

"It's local, desi and a practical solution to issues in the vicinity. Instead of wasting water on ice bucket challenge, save water and feed the hungry," Manju Latha wrote on her Facebook page.

Her post has got over 150 responses within 24 hours, and people have started making voluntary donations in their respective localities.

Infographic: Where we donate vs. diseases that kill us

Thursday, August 28, 2014

In light of the recent ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Vox.com analyzes data provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and compares the diseases people raise money for with the diseases that kill most people.
Between 5,000 and 6,000 people in the US die from ALS every year. (The most accurate and recent data available came from CDC, which reported that 6,849 people died from motor-neuron diseases including ALS in 2011.) To put that number into context, consider the chart below: it shows money raised from popular fundraisers and the number of related disease deaths.
