How Electric Cars (and the Tesla Model S) Work

With more and more electric cars hitting the mainstream market in the U.S., the way we drive and refuel is changing. First shown to the public in 2006, the Tesla Roadster was the first highway-capable car produced in the U.S. By 2008, 100 cars had been delivered to consumers across the country. Since then, more and more research has been done on how electric cars compare to all other standard vehicles on the road today. It is estimated that electric cars emit one-tenth as much climate pollution (15 tCO2) as a large gasoline fueled SUV (over 160 tCO2). Charging an electric vehicle also costs drivers less than drivers who are required to fill their tanks with gas (on a national average, people who drive electric cars pay the equivalent of $1.41 per gallon of gas in fueling expenses), and cost of maintenance is lower for electric car owners. The following infographic sheds more light on the differences between electric and standard vehicles, illustrates how an electric car is built, and hints at what the electric car industry might look like in the future.

Diamonds Are Forever: Process of the Diamond Ring

“The French are glad to die for love. They delight in fighting duels. But I prefer a man who lives, and gives expensive jewels. A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” Those famous lyrics sang by Marilyn Monroe back in 1953 might be one of the reasons why men across the country still to this day continue to get down on one knee—diamond ring in hand—to profess their love to their future brides. In 2011, $11 billion was spent on wedding and engagement rings in the U.S. Picking the right ring is an important part of the proposal process. It’s estimated that grooms can sometimes take somewhere around three months to find the right diamond ring for their brides. This comes to no surprise, thanks to the various diamond types, sizes, and styles that exist on the market and in jewelry stores today. This infographic illustrates how diamonds are valued (the 4 C’s), outlines the process by which a diamond is readied for sale to consumers, and sheds light on some of the most famous diamonds and wedding rings in existence. - See more at: http://blog.weddingtonway.com/diamonds-are-forever-infographic/#sthash.Ns98h4zV.dpuf

The food one decides to eat for breakfast can vary greatly from person to person, especially when you’re thinking about what people outside of the U.S. prefer to eat to start their day off right. Breakfast sandwiches, cold cereal, coffee, eggs, fruit, and juice are all common breakfast choices for people living in the U.S. What about the rest of the world? The following infographic will take you on a trip around the world, giving you a “taste” of what people cook and eat for breakfast in different countries.
