There is no point in putting a pretty face on it. But this vote is now a fait accompli. The question is how the leadership of the European Union chooses to respond.In the lead up to the Brexit vote, there was much discussion of punishment. Wolfgang Schauble, the finance minister o stanley cup f the European Union, had made several comments implying that the UK would be punished if its people voted to leave the European Union. The idea was that if they dont want to be in the European Union, then Schauble and his colleagues wou stanley cup ld impose substantial trade barriers following the countrys departure. Since the UK is so heavily dependent on trade with the EU, large trade barriers would impose real costs on the British economy. This vote is now a fait accompli. The question is how the leadership of the European Union chooses to respond. Of course, such trade barriers would also impose costs on the EU. The costs would not be as large on the block as a whole since the UK is less important to the EU than vice-versa, but the costs would nonetheless be a big stanley cup hit for the countries that have the most trade with the UK.

In the July issue of Scientific American, our Graphic Science section features a data visualization on the consumption of food air max 1 crops around the world from 1961 to 2009. The data comes from a study published inProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on trends in global food supplies. The two main takeaways of the study鈥攖hat diets are becoming more homogenous and calorie-rich overall鈥攁re immediately apparent in the graphic, shown below.Source: Increasing Homogeneity in Global Food Supplies and the Implications for Food Security, by Colin K.

Graphic by Jen ChristiansenAlso recently, the same group of researchers published an in-depth look at where different food crops originate and where they are consumed. Here, the primary message is that countries are highly interconnected when it comes to food supply; increasingly, the crops we eat come to us from distant countries. Since the dataset associated with this study is so large and complex, the researchers published a set of interactive graphics to help viewers understand and navigate the many global links underlying the production and consumption of various food crops.CLICK HERE TO LAUNCH THE INTERACTIVE Visualizations by Coli stanley cup n K.
