CharticlePronunciation: chahrt -ti-kuh l
Function: noun
Etymology: chart + article
: more commonly referred to as an infographic, the word charticle is used mostly in the newspaper industry to describe a the use of visual imagery, design elements, and text as a narrative device thought to allow a reader easy access to the information presented.USA Today is best known for its charticle usage, but Gawker also embraces the term. Another good example would be New York magazine’s Approval Matrix.
In Mia Eatons own words: "The short answer: I'm cataloging neologisms as they're born, and spanking them til they give a healthy cry. *I was instant messaging my friend Charles Michelet, and because of the custom splint on my left hand from a recent injury I accidentally hit specific key-combinations — and the typos triggered random emoticon faces that were pretty funny. I spontaneously apologized for the typoticon and the idea grew from there.

On a very round-about-way I found myself surfing the web for coffins tonight.

We've frequently been contacted by people from all over South Africa asking "where can I take my recyclables?" Unfortunately the enthusiasm of first-time recyclers all too frequently wears thin after struggling to find information. Well help is on its way - we've done a bit of investigating to come up with information which will hopefully be of assistance...
You can find links to general information about recycling, as well as links to websites with lists of recycling companies and drop-off centres for recyclables including cans, electronic waste and metals, glass, hazardous waste, paper, plastics and tyres in the Green home and Office: Waste section of the Going Green Links.
Recycling can sometimes be quite an effort, so if you are looking for somebody to help you, you can find various recycling businesses in the Waste & Recycling category of the Going Green Directory. Maybe there is somebody right there in your area. Also take a look at the WWF Be the Hero Recycling Directory for the addresses of various recycling places for paper, cans, plastic, medical waste, cooling and motor oil, cardboard, nylon polyester, builders' waste etc.
Many of you have also contacted us requesting further information about using worms - vermiculture - for dealing with your organic waste (kitchen scraps etc). You can find out more about the fascinating world of worms by exploring the Green Lifesyle: Composting section of the Going Green Links or by searching the Composting category of the Going Green Directory where you will find the contact details of businesses who sell worm farming kits.
In general our first suggestion would be to re-think the way in which you do things and to reduce the amount of waste you create - reduce & re-think, reuse & regenerate, recycle & repair - less clutter in the home also contributes to greater peace of mind:

I have just been made aware (by my good and i confirm good friend Corli and apparently also my self appointed conscience)
that i haven't blogged about this past Sunday's food intake!
Suppose she is right, i can not only blog about the right's, i should also blog about the wrong's
So to set the record straight here is the Sunday's kj's facts.
In my defense a girls gotta have fun sometimes, and we did work very hard rearranging her new living room.
I had:
2 x cuppa's with cream and sugar (yum)
half a pizza
half a bottle of red wine
2 slices french toast with syrup and cheese
another glass of wine
4 (small'ish) home made peanut butter & condense milk sweet
This must be about 12000kj, but you will note that the Monday intake was less than 6000kj.

I just love button pins and badges. Maybe one day i will have a whole bunch printed, just for me. Don't know what i am going to do with it. But in the meantime this is a new service added by Paperjet Print, if you are in Cape Town and need buttons, seems they are the people to contact.
