 Mrs Parker owns and operates a meat shop that processes and packages parcels of minced meat that is being sold to schools in the US. Her scales are all calibrated to perform measurement in pounds, however when the parcels are packaged, they need to be labelled in ounces. Mrs Parker has established that 1 pound is equivalent to 16 ounces. In each production cycle, 250 packs of meat are processed and the weight in pounds varies for each package. Mrs Parker is also interested in knowing the total costs, the total revenue and the total profit of each production run, given that the costs to produce and package an ounce of meat is US $0.25 and that the selling price of an ounce of meat is US $0.55. Because you are a budding Software Engineer, she has sought your assistance in creating a software solution that can be used within the business establishment.

Annotation is a crucial component of a good dataviz. It can turn a boring graphic into an interesting and insightful way to convey information. Dataviz is often separated in two main types: exploratory and explanatory analysis. Annotation is used for the second type.

Our current attention span for looking at things online is, on average, less than five seconds. So if you can’t grab someone’s attention within five seconds, you’ve likely lost your viewer. Adding accurate annotation can greatly help to grab audience attention. Use keywords, shapes, colors and other visuals to help them go straight to the point.

Annotation is a general concept, and hundreds of different ways to annotate a chart exist, depending on the context.

What are effective ways to leverage annotation in data visualizations? Provide 3 examples of how you would effectively use annotation in a data visualization. Describe how you would use them to keep viewers’ attention.

Google+ is a social networking site that lets users define and manage various groups of people and how they interact with them.  With Google+, users can define various circles, which might include people from work, good friends, and family, as well as casual acquaintances. Using such circle definitions, users can better control the posts they allow others to view.

For this project, research Google+ features.  Compare and contrast the Google+ features with those of at least two other social networks (such as Facebook).  This paper should be written in third-person.
