Hi. This is a great article. However, you may wish to consider using a bar graph instead of a pie chart, as pie charts have many problems in displaying quantitive information such as the list of percentages you present in the article. An excellent overview on this issue is here:

Thank you! I pasted the pie chart image directly from another source (i.e. I don't have the source data to hand) but will take note of this going forward.
