		<description><![CDATA[Now I&#8217;m not saying that perhaps the US has its forces spread a bit thin across the world, but this illustration shows which countries they have troops in and it is more than its ever been. 156 countries with US forces in them, 63 with bases and troops. If I was playing Risk, I think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to the New England Journal of Medicine, this 108 second long visualisation, hosted by the Washington Post) shows a network of friends connections (the original type of social network!) and how obesity spreads through it. I&#8217;d guess it&#8217;s about life styles and sharing it with friends. Who wouldn&#8217;t want to sit around, watch a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like this but that&#8217;s probably because I got 17 out of 20 correct. It&#8217;s on the BBC&#8217;s website. You are shown 20 short video clips of people smiling. All you have to do is say which is a fake and which is genuine. Easy? Well I didn&#8217;t do too bad. It isn&#8217;t that easy [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s well done but isn&#8217;t exactly safe for work- some bits have a touch of nudity and baby making but as a piece of art it&#8217;s tremendous!

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not often that I see something completely original but this I think qualifies although the name is not strictly accurate- Glass Cisterns might be better, albeit less imaginative.
