Nowadays, many cities collect measurements from several sources of data about the environment, through IoT and other sensing devices that are placed around the city. However, accessing raw data on its own is not sufficient to meaningfully show the data being collected and to allow a range of users to explore what this data may mean for them. This paper presents a novel approach for visualizing urban data and has been implemented as a pilot in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK.
Urban data is being collected in increasing quantities as smart cities around the globe seek to understand and improve their operations and plan their growth. This trend is set to continue as UNICEF predicts that 75% of people will live in cities by the end of the 21st century. One of the aims of Smart City initiatives is to improve inclusivity by communicating more about the city to citizens and organizational stakeholders. The large amounts of data and computational cost of the calculations required to do this mean that cloud-based analytics and visualization is an attractive option as it can deliver results to virtually any client device.
In this article, we describe the design and implementation of the Urban Insight Cloud Engine (UICE) a pilot cloud-based 3D visualization system for Smart Cities that has been created using open software and data sets. This delivers a continuous live view of data collected by Urban Observatory sensors in the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. We precede this with a discussion of our experience designing the facilities that exist, are being built, or are being planned to be built, to support our visualization research and production at Newcastle University.

With 'Cloud Cuckoo Land,' Anthony Doerr Dazzles And Disturbs
Published September 28, 2021 at 1:38 PM EDT
This is FRESH AIR. Anthony Doerr's 2014 novel, "All The Light We Cannot See," won the Pulitzer Prize in fiction. His much anticipated new novel, "Cloud Cuckoo Land," is just out, and our book critic Maureen Corrigan says it will not disappoint.
MAUREEN CORRIGAN, BYLINE: Of all our contemporary literary fiction writers, Anthony Doerr is the one whose novels seem to be the purest response to the primal request - tell me a story. "All The Light We Cannot See," Doerr's 2014 novel set during World War II, was a hectic network of stories - love stories, war stories, coming-of-age stories. His latest novel, "Cloud Cuckoo Land," ups the ante. It's not only packed with stories, but it's about how stories can give us light and hope.
Doerr makes up a comic novel from ancient Greece about a shepherd who yearns to turn into a bird and fly to a beautiful cloud cuckoo land. This imaginary story will sustain five young people, each of them living in dangerous times across the span of eight centuries. The opening section here introduces us to Konstance, a 14-year-old girl who's a passenger on the Argos, a 22nd-century spaceship fleeing an Earth that's been ravaged by climate change. Konstance sits alone in a sealed room reading about the fall of Constantinople in the 15th century.
Meanwhile, other characters in this novel are enduring that terror. Omeir is a teenager who's been conscripted into the sultan's army, laying siege to Constantinople. Within that city, Anna, an orphan, works in an embroidery house - what we would call a sweatshop. Anna prefers to dash through the city streets rather than sew, and one day she stumbles upon a tutor reciting the "Odyssey" to a group of boys. Bartering stolen wine for lessons, Anna will eventually learn enough to decipher an ancient Greek codex she finds that tells a tale about a shepherd who yearns to fly.
And here's one more thing to know about Anna, courtesy of Doerr's stoic, omniscient narrator who introduces her at age 7. Anna and her older sister Maria sleep in a one-window cell, barely large enough for a horse-hair palette. Anna has never tasted sweet cream, never eaten an orange and never set foot outside the city walls. Before she turns 14, every person she knows will either be enslaved or dead.
Doerr coolly thrusts the violence of the present upon us with the stories of Seymour and Zeno. Their lives intersect at the Lakeport Public Library, where Seymour, an emotionally fragile young man, decides to plant a homemade bomb in the stacks. What he doesn't anticipate is that a group of children are upstairs rehearsing a performance of "Cloud Cuckoo Land," a fantastic adventure tale they've been introduced to by Zeno, an elderly, self-taught classic scholar. Spiraling out from that awful situation, indeed, from all these awful situations, are dizzying stories that coalesce into a spectacular master narrative about love and the balm of humor and the inescapability of suffering.
The correspondences in "Cloud Cuckoo Land," between the disasters faced by Doerr's characters and our own anxious age when it can sometimes feel, as his narrator says about the fall of Constantinople, that the time of man on earth is ending, are stark and deliberate. But Doerr optimistically insists on the possibility of words to connect and uplift people across time and other divides. In a flashback tale about the teenage Zeno's time in a Korean POW camp, we meet a minor character named Rex, who testifies memorably to the power of stories. In civilian life, Rex was a classics teacher. And when Zeno tells him that he's read the "Odyssey" thanks to the librarians in his hometown, Rex begins quoting passages he's memorized of the "Odyssey." Here's the scene.
(Reading) Wood smoke, a rumbling generator, the Chinese flag, the reek of the latrines - Zeno can see a darkness seize Rex, then slowly release him. I know why those librarians read the old stories to you, Rex tells Zeno, because if it's told well enough for as long as the story lasts, you get to slip the trap.
"Cloud Cuckoo Land" also allows us readers to slip the trap. It transports us to places far above the stars and down into the mud. It dazzles and disturbs. And I, for one, wanted Doerr's vast and overwhelming story to last much, much longer.
GROSS: Maureen Corrigan teaches literature at Georgetown University. She reviewed "Cloud Cuckoo Land" by Anthony Doerr. Tomorrow on FRESH AIR, our guest will be Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement. She started using the phrase in 2005 in her work with Black and brown girls who were survivors of sexual violence like she is. The #MeToo hashtag went viral when victims started coming forward after the Harvey Weinstein allegations. Burke has written a new memoir. I hope you'll join us.

Thousands of libraries all over North America issue physical cards that patrons can use to checkout materials at the branch or to use online. In a world of e-readers, smartphones and tablets this is counterproductive and the Harris County Library in Houston Texas has just developed the first digital library card.
The program is dubbed iKnow, doesn't offer all of the amenities of a full-service library card. It only allows you to borrow audiobooks, e-books, music and video online via Overdrive and can't be used to check out hard copies of books.
Many people who want to use the library to read books, newspapers and magazines might not live close to a branch and if they do, parents are juggling a job or two. This iKnow program is perfect for the smartphone generation or kids who just want to read. Since the launch on September 1st, over 300 people have registered for a card, including 10 children.
I think this iKnow program is very intuitive and makes perfect sense for the digital world we live in. It allows adults and children who live far away from a branch to be able to read e-books on demand and there is no excuses anymore to not read.
Following a few processing errors after returning physical books and a DVD, my library use of Toronto Public Library is limited to online services, but every year around now the card expires and I have to physically visit to renew it – that entails showing ID at the counter to confirm residence. A quick look at its site seems to show Houston requires similar proof of residence at registration and renewal – if an annual "brick and mortar" visit is required for that not sure why go "computer only".
One thing I'd like to see in Toronto is Houston's $40/year non-resident subscription to its services. My family in Montreal has no Overdrive or Zinio service (I surmise because the comparable services don't exist for the large French majority.) I suspect Toronto could get a lot of money from out of town and out of province users for a computer-only subscription.
e-books, music and video online via Overdrive and can't be used to check out hard copies of books.
I can borrow online items from my local library system with the number on my physical card, along with a password. In addition, the number w password on my physical card enables me access to digital information which my local library has access to via the statewide library system. While this statewide library digital information is not quite on the level of the digital information available to students or faculty at a flagship state university, it is close. I have recently downloaded JSTOR articles via the system, which beats having to pay JSTOR myself. And it is accessible via the number on my physical library card.
I don't see the alleged great deal about this digital library card. Unlike the digital library card, I can check out hard copies of books with my physical card, in addition to having access to extensive digital resources. Conclusion: the physical library card is more useful.
My local library system changed the renewal requirement from one year to two years.
I like it, because it can be applied for online and just used online. Its solid for low income families that basically just have a smartphone and hardly anything else to read e-books on.
Since the Houston library services are available online, could you get a non-resident subscription there?

New York City Looking To Buy 300 Teslas For Its Fleet
New York City is reportedly looking to add hundreds of Teslas to its fleet of vehicles, if a proposed contract is approved. The contract is in the amount of $12.4-million and the main part is the acquisition of 300 Model 3 electric sedans to be used by the city, as well as some additional infrastructure to facilitate their use (mostly charging stations of various kinds).
Electrek says the contract will be made public and discussed on December 16, but it has found the notice announcing the public hearing when this will be discussed.
IN THE MATTER OF a proposed contract between the Department of Citywide Administrative Services of the City of New York and Tesla, Inc., located at 3500 Deer Creek Rd., Palo Alto, CA 94304, for procuring Tesla Model 3 All-Electric Sedans. The contract is in the amount of $12,360,000.00. The term of the contract shall be five years from date of Notice of Award. PIN #: 8572200042, E-PIN #: 05622S0005001.
The source also lists all the parts of the contract, not just the 300 Model 3s. These were 275 fast charging points, 20 portable chargers, 11 solar charging carports, three electric buses, 78 electric ambulances (neither supplied by Tesla), as well as the conversion of 125 existing city buses from diesel to fully-electric.
It's worth noting that the City of New York operates a fleet of over 30,000 owned or leased vehicles and it currently has 400 EV charging points to cater for the EVs that are already in its fleet. It currently runs 2,260 EVs and PHEVs, of which 250 are Nissan Leafs and over 300 are Chevrolet Bolts and it wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent until 2025; adding more electric cars to its fleet is one of the ways it wants to achieve the goal.

Most can agree the hardest part of being an artist is showcasing your work. Unless you are in a big city like Los Angeles or New York, it can often seem like no opportunities exist at all, but that is not entirely true.
There are about six different events no further than a 40-minute drive from the CSUSB campus, where an artist of any level can set up shop. These events are called art walks, and they happen all year long, some as often as once a month.
A typical art walk is an organization- or city-run event that is open to the public and features artists of all kinds in a family-friendly environment. Art walks allow visual artists and vendors to set up booths to showcase and sell their original work, and they allow performing artists like musicians and dancers to perform and promote themselves.
Local businesses such as cafés, retail shops and galleries also contribute to the creative festival. Many of them will host an open mic night or showcase an artist's work within their business, while others may simply remain open to the public during hours they are usually closed.
The six major hot spots in the area for these walks are Riverside, Claremont, Pomona, Redlands, Rancho Cucamonga and Ontario. Each city hosts the events at different times of the month so both attendees and artists have the opportunity to visit them all or find one that reigns closer to home.
Pomona's art walk happens the second Saturday of the month and has wonderful reviews. It's located in the Pomona arts colony downtown and features a farmer's market and many businesses and galleries are open late. For more information, you can look it up online at downtownpomona.org.
Redlands art walk happens biannually, hosting one event in fall and one in spring. The next event date is March 25 and will showcase many local artists, and provide live music next to a beer garden. The event is always located in the heart of downtown Redlands on State Street.
Riverside's art walk happens the first Thursday of every month from 6-9 p.m. It's a tad smaller than Pomona's art walk, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in talent. The largest attraction to spot in this event is the Artist Vendor lot on the corner of Lemon Street and University Avenue in downtown Riverside.
Claremont's art walk happens the first Saturday of every month, from 6-9 p.m. Claremont has had a rich art culture since the early 1930s and has continued growing since. You can visit Claremontartwalk.com for a quick history of the city's art culture, as well as a list of all participating art galleries.
The Ontario Artist Lofts and art walk happens every few months. It allows the public to tour artists' personal lofts and studios, where many of them paint live for the public. To learn more about the dates and the event, you can visit Ontarioartlofts.com.
All art walks help to create and maintain a sense of community within their cities in their own unique way. They allow local artists an opportunity to showcase and sell their work while providing attendees a relaxed evening out close to home.

Salisbury Education & Business Partnership needs your help
A new Salisbury partnership that links schools and businesses to develop "home-grown talent" is asking for help.
Salisbury Education & Business Partnership, which launched on Tuesday (July 20), aims to support schools to develop the talents of school pupils, who are "the future of this city".
The launch event, which more than 75 individuals and businesses attend on Zoom, introduced the partnership's first initiative, 'Investing in our Talent'.
A key objective of the partnership is for schools, colleges and businesses to work together to ensure pupils have the qualifications, knowledge and skills to be able to work their way into the business world.
In the first half of 2021, a comprehensive list of activities for the next academic year needing support from business was collected from secondary schools in the area.
These have been summarised to seven key areas common to all schools.
Businesses are now being asked to support these activities by completing a short survey here: forms.gle/3WMAJsDV7rcJtvsS6
Businesses and schools can work together by holding workshops, providing work experience placements, judging competitions, mock interviews and help with CV writing.
As well as benefits to schools and pupils, there are also positives for businesses too. Involvement in the project could lead to future recruitment, staff development opportunities and it offers businesses a chance to give back to the local community.
Daniel Rhind-Tutt, Chair of the partnership, said: "The launch night was a fantastic success with a great array of representation and some of the largest employers of the area in attendance all keen to be part of this moving forward.
"Our first initiative is an important one to be part of – the students of these schools are the future of this city."
David Clayton, Managing Director of Boatwrights Estate Agents, added: "By supporting and interacting with schools at an early stage, we know from personal experience that this will help to develop and grow their ambitions and hopefully retain their talent locally, rather than lose them elsewhere."
Dan Collins of Salisbury BID said: "There has been an amazing response from local businesses, and I would like to say thank you to all those who have expressed interest in such a worthwhile project.
"This launch has been an accumulation of six months of hard work from the team, but it is just the beginning. We need more businesses to sign-up and help inspire future generations and work towards developing talent for the local area."
Salisbury Education & Business Partnership is the creation of Salisbury BID, Salisbury and District Chamber of Commerce and Sarum Rotary, who came together to forge closer links between businesses and schools.
They joined with schools and colleges across the area to launch the Salisbury Education & Business Partnership (SEBP) after education establishments voiced a need to connect more closely with the local business community.
Previously, forums were held once a term with schools as a way to understand how businesses could best assist them, and this new partnership takes that joint working a step further.

Working From Home in the New Normal/ / May 4, 2020
Being Home All the Time Is Taking a Toll on Our Work, Families, and Sanity
We're emotionally exhausted and everything seems stuck. But there are glimmers of hope.
Eric Stine, SAP, Customer Success
Eric Stine is the Chief Revenue Officer at Qualtrics. Recently, for the first time in his professional life, he became a full-time remote employee because of the coronavirus pandemic. Each week, he'll share the highs, lows, and learnings of a WFH newbie. You can read all of his diary entries here.
Week Six — Shreds of News and Afterthoughts and Complicated Scenes
In case you're losing track of time, this was the week that several states reopened certain non-essential businesses, including barber shops, nail salons, and spas — though the C.D.C. was recommending that social distancing continue as these businesses resumed.
One can only truly understand the meaning of the word "surreal" by watching a certified medical doctor attempt to explain how you can get a manicure from six feet away.
Surreal is probably a good word for this week. Everyone's emotions seem much closer to the surface — we're home all the time but exhausted. The energy it takes to keep everyone fed, occupied, educated, entertained, working, and connected is becoming exhausting. No one really seems to know if we're at the end of the beginning or the beginning of the middle, and without any new medical information — progress on the vaccine trials, encouraging studies about the use of remdesivir, clarity about the availability and accuracy of antibody testing (or even if the antibodies protect someone who has had COVID-19 from being re-infected) — everything seems stuck.
Even spring seems stuck here in Connecticut. Every day that manages to crack 60 degrees seems to be followed by one in the 40s. One morning there were snow flurries. We are all eager for Next, because Next is one step closer to After, but Next seems stuck.
It's taking a toll.
I'm pulse-checking my team regularly, and engagement is still good, but the question "How have you been feeling this past week?" is only getting lukewarm responses. I worry about how long my team can keep doing this without it taking a toll on their work, their families, their marriages, their sanity.
That appears to be a prevailing sentiment. The best article I read this week was a piece in the New York Times Magazine by the fabulous chef and restaurateur Gabrielle Hamilton, written about her East Village restaurant, Prune. In it, she questions the relevance of the place she's given her life and livelihood to for the past 20 years — now closed, like many restaurants — and wonders if she will ever reopen it; if there's a place for it in whatever New York emerges After.
Chef Hamilton — in the off chance that you read this, please come back. I love Prune, and will forever associate it with the year I moved back to New York: 2004.
I had been gone for 14 years — and everything about the city had changed from when I left for University in 1990. It was safe, but still exciting — you could see remnants of gritty lower Manhattan, of Soho and the Village and the Lower East Side, a nostalgic and romantic visage of New York peeking through. But it was safe, the threat of receivership long past and the junkies and tent cities gone from Tompkins Square Park.
I moved to New York, single — having just made a little bit of money for the first time in my life — and the city felt like an adventure in a way it never did when I was a child. I got my first summer rental on Fire Island, I made a slew of friends, and — soon — I would meet Neil.
Everything I did was underscored by the restaurants I ate at that first year back. I didn't know it at the time, but 2004 would be a watershed year for New York restaurants. The week I moved, New York Magazine published its "Best of New York" issue. I was determined to eat every place they listed — and every week scanned the listings in the back of the magazine for their recommendations. That first year I ate everywhere from Per Se to Shake Shack; from Frankie's in Brooklyn to Telepan and Cesca on the Upper West Side. I found you could get in anywhere — yes, even the coveted Spice Market — if you were willing to take a 9 p.m. reservation on a Tuesday.
The first time my Mom met Neil, I took them to Barbuto, Jonathan Waxman's iconic California-Italian restaurant in the West Village that was my go-to for YEARS before it closed last fall. I mourn it.
But Prune was special. I ate at Prune my very, very, very first weekend back. My dad came to see my new apartment and I dragged him to the corner of First and First (that's 1st St. and First Avenue for non-New Yorkers) and waited — on a wait list kept in pencil — for the table right after Claire Danes (she had to wait, too — and gave her name simply as "Claire"). My dad and I walked — got coffee at Katz's and bought some stuff at Russ and Daughters — until our table was ready an hour later. We spent hours at our table, the first real time I connected with my father as an adult.
I've been back many times since — Neil and I would occasionally go for dinner or the incredible brunch with a Bloody Mary menu as long as your arm. I go because it always reminds me of the New York I love the best; the one that had finally recovered from September 11th, the one that was clean and safe but not too bourgeois, the one that existed right on the precipice of the internet takeover — when people still communed in restaurants and bars, and talked on streets and stoops. It was a New York that was tangible and palpable and real. I miss it and Prune always brings that feeling back. So, Gabrielle, bring back Prune.
Our twins Nicholas and Noelle turned 4 at the end of the week. Do you know what it's like to cancel a 4-year-old's birthday party? How about two 4-year-olds?
But Neil rallied. Because Neil is the best, and Neil makes everything — even quarantine — better. He organized a birthday parade. The twins' friends' parents gathered at the Barnes & Noble parking lot two blocks away… they decorated their cars with signs and balloons, blasted music, and honked their horns, and came driving down our cul-de-sac at 11 a.m.
I was so touched, I cried through the whole darn thing. It was really the best party ever, to see how many people cared enough about our kids to venture out and do this. (Also, it helped that we didn't have to spend three hours cleaning up.) It was supposed to rain, but by some miracle the rain held off so my kids could have their birthday. It's making me optimistic that Next might get unstuck.

Readying for Armistice Day
Present and correct . . . Checking the names on their field of remembrance crosses to make sure the fallen from World War 1 are all present and correct, at the Milton Bruce RSA are (from left) Bert Pringle, Ian Carruthers and Donna Williams. Each cross carries the name of a fallen soldier from the Milton-Bruce area and their next of kin. PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE
The 100th anniversary of the end of World War 1 is not far away and planning is under way for commemoration services to be held on Armistice Day around the region.
The Clutha District RSA (Balclutha) secretary, Pauline Soper, said they are already planning to hold an event on the 11th of November, at 11am, and were talking to other organisations in Balclutha who wanted to be part of the commemoration.
The Milton Bruce RSA will also be hosting an event and will again be planting more than 280 white crosses its field of remembrance at the cenotaph in Milton the month before.
Milton Bruce RSA President Ian Carruthers said this year the final 39 crosses naming the last soldiers to fall in the final months of the war will be added to the 250 already displayed.
They have been put out in recent years to name all from the Milton-Bruce area who had died during WW1.
"There has always been a very good response from locals about the crosses we have put out since the Gallipoli centenary. No-one has ever touched them or moved them, even the young people seem to understand what they mean and respect them," Mr Carruthers said.
Over the past four years, communities throughout New Zealand have recognised those who served and lost their lives in WW1 with their own cross-filled fields of remembrance.
Each town's field carried a named cross for every soldier killed up to that point in WW1. Red poppies symbolising hope and regrowth were also placed by every cross.

Vandana Gupta was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma, but her doctors busy schedule and lack of communication skills resulted in her knowing practically nothing about her ailment, apart from its name. However, she wasnt going to be one of those patients who took things lying down. Insufficient information about her illness led Vandana to start a patient-support group for patients with cancer called V Care, which prescribes patient-friendly Information Therapy. She recounts her experiences.
You have Hodgkins Lymphoma, but we will treat you. A chilling silence engulfed the room, as the doctor delivered those words. All I could comprehend was that I was afflicted with a serious ailment. That was all I knew, and the doctor did not have the time for further explanations, so my husband and I were left with no choice but to scan through information in a medical encyclopedia (Google did not exist 18 years ago!). Reading about Hodgkins provided us with greater insight, and we were shocked to realize that it was a type of cancer. The next day, we met the doctor in a crowded room at a leading hospital in Mumbai. In barely five minutes, I was shooed out of the room with a prescription in my hand and instructions to go to the day care center to start chemotherapy.
In one day, I had to learn so many new words . Hodgkins lymphoma, day care, and chemotherapy . without understanding the meaning of these terms. My husband made the mistake of asking the doctor for some information. We were promptly handed a medical journal article which was published to teach doctors how to handle the side-effects and complications of the medicines used for treating Hodgkins disease. This was the worst possible thing that could have happened. The doctor was trying to be helpful, but after reading the article (laden with statistics and complex technical terms), both of us started wondering why treatment was being prescribed at all, and whether it was even beneficial taking the treatment, since the chemotherapy would cause all the organs to fail anyway!
I sincerely wished that the professional, the doctor whom I trusted, had prescribed some information along with the diagnosis and medicines. I would have been empowered and the starting point of this empowerment would have come from my doctor who was going to help me fight this life-threatening disease for the next six months. However, despite my bitter experience, I have forgiven the doctor. I guess he was complying with our request and trying to arm us with information, but he forgot that the information must to be tailored to the patients needs. Otherwise, the information can actually be detrimental. Sadly, the doctor did not have access to patient educational materials . and may not even have known that they existed!
Two days later, in the dead of the night, I got a phone call from my uncle (he lives in Leeds, hence the midnight call) congratulating me. Puzzled, I asked him the reason, and he said If you had to have cancer, you have the best one. Of course, this was hardly a consolation for me. All I could think was that I had cancer and it was a serious issue. I simply could not fathom anything good about my illness. The one good thing however that emerged as a result of this lack of information was the birth of the V Care foundation. I started this after completing my treatment, and my goal was simple . to provide information to patients in terms they could understand. Having suffered the results of an information famine during my treatment, I wanted to do my best to make sure that other cancer patients did not go through the same experience purely because of the absence of doctor-prescribed Information Therapy!
Doctors and patients seem to come from completely different worlds, especially in India. Doctors usually are highly privileged, affluent, upper-class professionals, who think, read, and write in English. Patients, on the other hand, come from all strata of society. Many are illiterate; they can only understand their regional language; they are poor; and have limited ability to read, write, and understand. Given these constraints, it is not sensible for us to blindly adopt the U.S. model for providing Information Therapy . this would never work in India. This is both a challenge and an opportunity. Indian doctors and patients are smart and by working together, they can devise clever inexpensive solutions that are tailored for India. The Information Therapy movement must ensure that information is universally available and tested on real patients, so we know that it does effectively serve their needs. Different patients have different learning styles . some people process written material easily, while others need visual information or interactive communication. Multiple approaches will help in ensuring that Information Therapy reaches out to everyone.
The diagnosis of cancer . a life threatening disease . sends patients (and their family members) into a state of shock. Such patients must be made familiar with hospital procedures . for example, the implications of being registered in a particular type of category (free, general, private, etc). The patient should be informed of the various tests that would be required, and a general time frame in which they need to be done. Every centre should have patient-support groups, and information about these groups should be routinely shared with patients. Medical treatment can be very expensive, and ideas about the cost (and sources of financial assistance), blood requirements, long stay facilities, available treatment options such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, and the role they play in treatment, must be provided in a non-threatening environment. It may not be the doctors job to do all this . and in fact, it is not sensible use of the doctors time to even ask him to do so. But it is the doctors job to ensure that the patient has easy access to all this key information. With this kind of guidance, the patient and his caregivers are prepared for what to expect, and their involvement with the treatment starts from the first day. It also builds a good reputation for the hospital, since it shows that the hospital really cares about its patients. Even today, there are patients who come from villages, expecting to return home in a few days, not being aware that treatment for cancer could go on for a couple of months or more.
Patients equipped with information are in a more confident frame of mind to meet their doctors. Doctors too are happier interacting with knowledgeable patients . it makes their life much easier if they do not have to spend precious time explaining the basics to each patient. Once the diagnosis is known, then the patient would like more information before the treatment commences. The biology of the patients cancer can be explained, along with the available treatment options. Patients must be told what to expect, possible side-effects, success rate of every treatment, survival statistics and prognosis, and the future course of action if things do not go as planned. The practice of providing information proactively to patients will help them to contribute to their personal healing.
Engaging the patient is powerful medicine! Doctors sometimes forget that a consultation is very stressful for a patient, and fifty to eighty percent of everything that a patient hears in a doctors clinic is forgotten (or distorted) by the time he or she gets home. This is why ongoing Information Therapy sessions will help patients immensely. It is not necessary for doctors to do this personally. They can train volunteers and clinical assistants to provide this information. This reassures patients because they now know that they are in the hands of a genuine, caring person. Well-off patients have easy access to the internet, but often they complain that the information they receive from their doctor is markedly different from the information on the net, and they do not know whom to trust or how to make sense of this conflicting information.
The end of the treatment often marks the end of the frequent doctor-patient meetings, and while doctors get busy taking care of new patients, their former ones are often left high and dry! The treatment is now over, but what next? Can they celebrate? Is this really the light at the end of the tunnel they were looking forward to, or is it the start of another uncertain journey? More sessions of Information Therapy at this time would be of great benefit to patients. How they can take care of themselves at home, and what follow up is required must be explained to patients to avoid making them feel neglected and uncared for. They must be assured that their doctors are just a phone call away, should there be any doubts or concerns. Such queries are common among cancer survivors, especially in the first year. Is that fever just a viral infection? Or is it a more ominous sign? A patients mind plays lots of games, and Information Therapy can help to settle problems which may be minor to a doctor, but are a source of major stress to the patient!
There is a huge gap in what a doctor knows and what the patient understands. The ideal situation would be to actively engage patients so that they are completely aware of all the intricacies of treatment. Information Therapy is a great tool which enables the doctor to achieve greater patient participation. This is true, even for illiterate patients, provided the tools are designed thoughtfully. As a patient advocate, I would like every patient to be provided a recording of the conversation and an after-visit summary routinely. For patients, visiting a doctor or hospital is not just a clinical encounter . it is a visit to a trustworthy and knowledgeable professional who has the power to find the right treatment and assist them on the road to recovery.
Doctors, apart from being entrusted with the obvious responsibility of ensuring that their patients get better, also need to be able to comfort their patients and put their doubts to rest. All patients are deserving of respect . and the best way to empower patients is with Information Therapy. Who is better positioned to provide this to them than their team of health professionals, in whose hands they place their lives?

2015 was good and bad for me both.... I went to a new college to learn more computer skills because it helps me to become a hardware engineer.... The collage name is m. P institute of management and engineering. I had exams in my college and it went well and I am having much fun with my friends also.... The bad things in my life were the things related to the case for which FairMail closed.
So now i have to study 2 more years to finish the college and I need much money for that course for admission and for books and stuff. So i hope my cards will be sold well so that I'll get money for study, I really want to become a hardware engineer to help my family and my own wife and family in the future.
Thanks again for your support and your love for us and i hope you all are happy and well. Praying for you guys and take care.
My favorite photos to take are photographs with motion because I find they best capture the chaos and noise of my neighborhood. I tried this year to improve my techniques with panning and blurring the background. This year I hope to create more and better images that will be sold as postcards.
Through Fairmail, I was able to invest in a bicycle to use in transportation to school. The rest of the money I am earning I am saving for higher education. I have high hopes of becoming a hardware engineer in the future. I know that I will have to study hard to achieve this goal. So next year I want work harder in school to get better marks.
I really like being in FairMail because I learn so many things about taking photos and the cameras. Before I knew nothing. I had never used a camera. I like photography because when I take a photo I get to decide what is a good photo and what is not. I feel that I can make a difference by taking good photos because people then enjoy looking at them. I dream of becoming an engineer and also becoming a great man.
The money I earn from FairMail I would like to use for a house, help my parents, and to buy things for school. In my free time I like to read comics, ride my bicycle and play with the other kids in the streets.


THE PLAINS, Ohio — The Meigs High School softball squad scored at least twice in each inning on Monday, and amassed 21 hits en route to defeating the host Athens Bulldogs 17-8 in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division tilt.
The Lady Marauders, in completing the season sweep of Athens, scored two runs apiece in innings one, two, four, six and seven — sandwiched around a three-run third inning and a four-run outburst in the fifth.
Athens amounted one run in the first, followed by two apiece in the third and fifth — before finally scoring three in the sixth.
Meigs led 2-1 after one, 7-3 following three, and finally a 13-5 advantage after five before the 17-8 final score.
With the win, the Marauders remain right behind TVC-Ohio leader Alexander, as Meigs is now 6-1 in the division with Alexander — which handed Meigs its only league loss — atop at 7-0.
The Marauders moved to 12-2 overall, as Athens fell to 4-7 — and 3-4 in the TVC-Ohio.
Three pitchers took the circle for Meigs, as Alliyah Pullins pitched the opening three innings and earned the win with three strikeouts.
Morgan Lodwick worked the fourth and fifth and Maddison Woodyard the sixth and last, as Woodyard struck out two.
Devyn Oliver and Katie Gilkey garnered four hits and three runs scored apiece to pace the Marauder offense, as Gilkey had a pair of doubles.
Lodwick landed three hits with Pullins, Danielle Morris and Peyton Rowe rapping out two.
Rowe recorded four runs batted in, with Pullins, Rowe, Woodyard, Lodwick and Taylor Swartz each smacking a double.
The Bulldogs boasted 11 hits, paced by Kat Kroutel who was 3-for-4 with two singles, a double and two RBIs.

In this "deftly and originally executed" (Booklist) New York Times best-selling novel, Vaelin Al Sorna must help his Queen reclaim her Realm. Only his enemy has a dangerous new collaborator, one with powers darker than Vaelin has ever encountered...
"The Ally is there, but only ever as a shadow, unexplained catastrophe or murder committed at the behest of a dark vengeful spirit. Sorting truth from myth is often a fruitless task". After fighting back from the brink of death, Queen Lyrna is determined to repel the invading Volarian army and regain the independence of the Unified Realm. Except, to accomplish her goals, she must do more than rally her loyal supporters. She must align herself with forces she once found repugnant - those who possess the strange and varied gifts of the Dark - and take the war to her enemy's doorstep. Victory rests on the shoulders of Vaelin Al Sorna, now named Battle Lord of the Realm. However, his path is riddled with difficulties. For the Volarian enemy has a new weapon on their side, one that Vaelin must destroy if the Realm is to prevail - a mysterious Ally with the ability to grant unnaturally long life to her servants. And defeating one who cannot be killed is a nearly impossible feat, especially when Vaelin's blood-song, the mystical power which has made him the epic fighter he is, has gone ominously silent...

What listeners say about Queen of Fire
Joe Chad
The Completion of the Collapse of Potential
Please bear with me, because this review will be long and not particularly flattering. I will not give any spoilers to the plot. When I first read Blood Song about a year ago, I was very impressed. It was a refreshing blend of storytelling and coming of age story, told from the first person point of view of one character, whitch is hard to do well anymore. I was shocked and disappointed by the second novel in this trilogy, Tower Lord. Mr. Ryan changed his style of telling the story to four different points of view and seemed to lose a lot of control of the plot. The book wandered and was filled with tons of generic fight scenes that got very repetitive after a while.
Despite my misgivings about the third novel, I felt I had to get it because I had made it this far in the series, and I was curious as to whether Ryan would be able to pull his plot threads together or not. The answer to my question was not at all. Queen of Fire wanders as much if not more than Tower Lord, and to make matters worse there seems to be much useless material in the book, that is simply filler.
The next problem I had with this novel were the characters. Besides the four main view point people the rest of the cast, and there are a lot of them, all are very generic badass men and women who are as one dimensional as a piece of paper. I found myself trying desperately to recall all of them when I started the book, because nun of them stuck in my mind from book two. I rarely have this problem of forgetting characters, and to give an example I had no trouble recalling everyone of the A Song of Ice and Fire characters from book to book and that cast could populate a small town.
Problem number three with this book and I suppose series in general is the utter lack of humor. I know what you people are thinking this is a war story and it shouldn't be funny, but throw in a little dark humor or something to spice up the story. I found myself blanking out for a few minutes at a time, because of the tedius conversations and endless supply of very similar battle scenes.
Now we come to the end of this book. NO spoilers, but the ending is rushed, unconvincing, and anticlimactic. Also, Ryan throws in several twists whitch aren't twists, but complete changes of the situation without warning. I won't give anything away, but there are a few moments where the situation flips on its head with no warning or foreshadowing whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, I love a good surprise, but the surprise has to make sense afterword when you think about it. The reader has to be able to put the pieces together, usually from hints the author drops earlier in the book. I love a book that makes one think, but not one that makes no sense. The final smaller issue with this book was the narrator. I am not sure why I never noticed it before, but Mr. Brand has little to no voice between characters. Everyone sounds almost exactly the same. The reason why I still gave him 3 stars is because I do think his storytelling voice is good, he just can't differentiate characters well. Overall, I would not recommend buying this book, unless you really need something to read or you have that hankering to finish the series that I had. This isn't the worst book I have ever read, but it is much closer to the bottom of the list than the top.
My, what happened??
the first book read like a dream, and was a very welcomed alternative to the world of westeros. Then something strange happened...the books got progressively less interesting as the characters got less and less interesting. I really wish it didn't, but for me it did. This book was a very difficult disappointment as I wanted to like it. But it was quite long winded and very thin on character and heavy on plot. weak character + complicated plot = tired by the end of chapter 2. I really hoped this would have been better.
I was so excited for this book to come out, as I absolutely loved Bloodsong, and Tower Lord was pretty good as well. However, this was a downer compared to the other two books. Steven Brand does an excellent job narrating the book, but he can't control the weak story. Frankly, each book in the series got progressively weaker, in my opinion. Queen Of Fire starts out rather slowly, builds serious steam towards the middle and end, but the climax was very boring. It left me thinking "that's it?" There were also several loose ends from the previous two books that did not get wrapped up (they are barely even mentioned, in fact), and I was left with many questions unanswered that I expected to be addressed in this book.
This is not to say it was wholly unenjoyable or boring, quite the opposite. The series as a whole is great. QOF in entertaining and Anthony Ryan is a great character-driven writer. There were some real "wow!" moments in the book as well as some heart aching moments.
Overall, it's worth a listen if you've read the other two books in the series and want to reach the conclusion of the world that has been created through the Raven's Shadow Saga. Otherwise, you may want to stop with Bloodsong and call it good.
I don't think I can finish the book
Book 1 was fantastic, Book 2 was great and book 3 is just sad. Story jumps all over the place, conversations just seem to be babble. I can' take it anymore!!

Too Long, Too Slow, Too Much...
After reading the first two books in a matter of days, this last installment caused a completely different response from me. I literally zoned out during some of the audio version because it was so boring at times. There was way too many characters that didn't help the story in anyway. We're introduced to these people who have no meaning. I expected an epic battle from Vaelin or some extremely cunning strategy from Queen Lyrna. But instead, I got a dragged out story with too many meaningless conversation. The Ally was also alittle disappointing. The power this one had didn't match how easily he was captured and destroyed in the end. This book is not in the same league as the first. That is expected from any series, but this one really hit a plateau. I was happy to finally finish this book and not because it was satisfying.
Queen of Mean(inglessness)
What would have made Queen of Fire better?
This book is all narrative exposition--some of it rather grandiose. It lacks sense of place, clear purpose, and the characters just mindlessly do what the script tells them. I forgot which side I was supposed to be rooting for and just came to want everyone dead.

What happened, this book was just boring. I really enjoyed the first two. This book just got lost somehow. It derailed from anything even remotely interesting. It is sad to say, but I am not sure I can finish it, it has been a 26 hour waist of my time.
what a disapointment
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would not recommend this to anyone who read the first two as the story here seemed to have degraded a lot.
What could Anthony Ryan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
If he had not left the story so open and Vaelin in this book seems to have been there simply to make his life miserable with very little to do with the main conflict. in short there was no real end and the final battle against the Ally was simply anticlimactic.
Have you listened to any of Steven Brand's other performances before? How does this one compare?
Steve Brand is the reason this got an overall three stars from me as his performance was great and he is one of my favorite narrators.
Do you think Queen of Fire needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
this would most certainly need a follow-up to clear all of the unanswered questions and give reason to the pointless foreshadowing in the prior books.

A poor end to an otherwise good trilogy.
Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle, battle. The entire book just moves from one high level description of battle to another. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with a good battle. It's sometimes integral to advancing good fantasy, but it seems like that's most of this book, with very little actual character development in between. After a while it becomes monotonous and numbing. It's unfortunate that Ryan basically abandons a great main character in Vaelin Al Sorna from books one and two, who's growing song and abilities were the drive of the story, and relegates him to essentially a secondary character in the book. Inexplicable.
It doesn't help that Steven Brand's narration became unbearable within the third book. His bland monotone delivery just sounds like someone reading in a classroom. There's zero effort to differentiate between characters. No change in dialect, intonation, pitch, or pacing. As a result, everything just predictably runs into everything else. It's a disservice to authors to narrate this way. I think maybe this was bearable within the first two books of the series because they were better stories, but the third book was quite weak, which just made the deficits in narration that much more pronounced.
Um, wait, what...huh?
I thought the first book in this series was excellent. The second book was okay but wandered all around without direction. This third book in the series was almost unbearable. I only finished so I could hear what happens in the end. It jumps around much worse than the second book, confused, and unimportant to the main story. I found myself often just tuning out for long periods knowing somehow that whatever was going on would not matter much in the end. Truly, by the midpoint of this novel I just had it on waiting to hear what happens in the end. I suggest you skip the third book in this series (seriously, just give up). If you do feel compelled to close it out like I did, just keep your expectations very low and maybe listen to the first half and then skip to the last chapter. You won't miss much.

Great conclusion to the trilogy
Wow, what can I say. This trilogy has to be amongst the top stories I have read.
many of the questions I had were answered in this book. Although not all have been. I guess it leaves it up to my imagination to fill in the blanks.
The story does get confusing at times with all the names and characters. Especially during a few dialogues, where the narrator has done similar if not the same voices.
Other than that, the story is thrilling, packed full of action and very sad at times.
I have listened to the first two books twice and I will definitely be listening to this one again!

This Juneteenth we look at a snapshot of the history of racism in American agriculture
On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived at Galveston with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. This date, now known as Juneteenth, is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. It took the Union two and half years after Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to make sure every enslaved person knew they were free, and there are stories surrounding the delay. One story is that the news was deliberately withheld by enslavers in order to maintain the labor force on the plantations; another is that federal troops waited for slave owners to reap the benefits of one last cotton harvest before going to Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. Whether or not these stories are true, the relationship between Black Americans and agriculture have a long and tumultuous history.
As a people who were once considered property themselves, the idea of being able to call "40 acres and a mule" their own was momentous. Black farmers worked tirelessly to build their own agricultural economy, and by the time World War I happened, there were around 1 million Black farmers in the U.S. However, in 1992 there were only 18,000 Black farmers. What happened during that time, and what does it mean for the urban, local, and sustainable agricultural movements in Austin today?
Vann R. Newkirk II wrote a story in the Atlantic about the disgraceful dispossession of land from Black landowners in the United States. He notes that a war waged on deed titles led to 98 percent of Black farmers having 12 million acres stolen from them over the past century, 6 million of which were lost between 1950 and 1969 alone. This financial loss translates to trillions of dollars today.
Both private and public sector investigations have found that systemic racism impacted a Black farmer's ability to take out loans and access legal services for succession planning. Outside of the legal systematic dispossession, physical violence and police brutality were used as intimidation tactics to force Black people off their land.
During the Civil Rights era, systems built from and for white wealth continued to disenfranchise people through methods reminiscent of Jim Crow. In the South, there were plans to crush small independent farmers, many of whom were Black, in order to force them out of the state to reduce their voting power.
In the mid-80s, an effort was made on the part of the U.S. government to help nearly 16,000 farmers maintain their land; only 209 of which were Black. Throughout the 20th century, the number of Black farmers decreased by 98 percent compared to only 66 percent of white farmers. In today's America, fewer and fewer children of white landowners are choosing to continue farming, leading to much of U.S. farmland being sold to trusts and investors instead of to other farmers. Thus, the majority of land that was originally owned by Black farmers is now owned by either Whites or corporations.
Austin, in particular, has its own relationship between race and agriculture. A report by Kathryn Koebert Vickery showed that East Austin had been a farming community since 1883, but due to the economic crash of the 1920s, all of the farmers had to sell their land. Austin's 1928 Comprehensive Plan, which was the formal push to force Black people out of the west side, encouraged toxic industrial businesses to reside on the east side as well, and in the 1960s I-35 was built to create a physical border between the wealthy white side and the impoverished black and brown side of the city.
Despite the industrial use of the east side, the land maintained its richness and farm-friendliness. The urban farming movement of the two decades has inspired a new generation of farmers, and those who live in Austin have chosen the healthy soils of the east side to start their enterprises. The fact that most of the visible urban farms are owned and operated by White people and reside in historically Black and Latinx neighborhoods, coupled with the ever-increasing threat of gentrification that's causing the housing crisis in these areas, leaves many communities of color at odds with the agricultural community. Studies have found that Black Americans often see in urban farming the echoes of slavery and sharecropping left behind in the migration from southern to northern cities.
Many Back Americans are choosing to reclaim their relationship with the land and are re-entering the agricultural field. But as history has shown us, Black farmers were assaulted on several fronts - from voting suppression to financial suppression to legal suppression to physical violence - and continue to face these barriers today. There is so much work left to do to ensure equity within the American agricultural system, and if we hope to grow the network of sustainable farms throughout the nation, the agricultural world MUST be inclusive to our Black brothers and sisters. It is from their lineage that the American economy and agricultural system was built in the first place, and this is something that must be remembered today as we commemorate Juneteenth. Celebrate the true Independence Day by supporting a local Black farmer near you!

Q: coldfusion bind failed when using jquery's modal Hi i have a cfoutput to loop a query and i'm using dynamic variables to display the layout in client's side, every works fine except for the binding that only works when i'm not using jquery's modal.

            >
            </cfselect>

</cfoutput>

and jquery code
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />

    <cfoutput query = "RSSelect.rs">

        </cfoutput>

I'd apreciate your help.
I tried using showmodaldialog as well but it only works on IE
any other options using a modal dialog would be ok.

A: It appears as though your jQuery code is contained within the header of your HTML document. Of course your CFML is contained within the body of your HTML document. When using jQuery you need to be careful that you only access items in the DOM when they are available. You can avert some of these issues by wrapping your jQuery code within the $(document).ready() function. Something like this...
<cfoutput query = "RSSelect.rs">

</cfoutput>

Here is the documentation on the ready() function.

Initial issue that has since been corrected in the question
I'm not sure if this is the issue but your
 tags are not positioned correctly. The opening
 tag is within the <cfoutput> block...
<cfoutput query = "RSSelect.rs">

but the closing tag is after the </cfoutput> and thus outside the loop...
</cfoutput>

The closing
 tag should be within the cfoutput block, so that each opened div is also closed...

</cfoutput>

A: Basically a call a function to open the modal dialog.
Well i think I coded too much but here it is =).

Then I returned the values on an array then i put the values on hidden inputs to call them after submit
Here is the modal javascript code that returns the array.

Hope it is clear enough if not let me know to improve my answer thank you for your patience =)

The mystery is revealed. Christ is made known. The Apostle Paul is rediscovered and the Church is reborn. The apostolic mission that kicked off at the start of Plerosis 2017 to administer supernatural deposits in the nations for the rising of the glorious Church, just witnessed a phase in the political capital of Cameroon, Yaoundé. The fifth edition of Christ Commission International (CCI) came to an effective conclusion on Saturday, 22 July.
The week crowned with spiritual education gathered ministers of the Gospel from all ten regions of the country, as well as representatives from other African and European nations, flooding the hall built with a capacity for about 2000 people.
Dr. Shawn Smith, the Prelate of CCI, elucidated, among other subjects, the accurate paradigm of ministry to possess, the two ministries of Jesus Christ, the distinct apostleship of Peter and Paul, the hermeneutic principles of right division, the Mystery revealed and justification in Paul's theology. The entry of the Word brings forth light and the shouts of praise and thanksgiving that resounded in the hall was simply revealing of the true light that now illumined the eyes of the understanding of the receptive ministers. The Word of the Lord had free course to every heart and is glorified. God is taking us out of the diminishing glory to the surpassing glory and He Himself demonstrates to us what is of surpassing glory.
Quoting Karl Barth, Dr. Shawn Smith tells his audience that the Church is reborn when someone rediscovers Paul. This fifth edition of CCI provided the avenue for the men and women partaking of the ministry of Christ to be fueled by the revelation of the Apostle Paul, that they may impact and influence this world for Christ.
Discerning men and women in this age desire a new type of Christianity that will unveil the reality of Jesus Christ as He is in the now. The veil of misinterpretation has been taken away. Now, we have come to understand the Greater Commission which we have received in this dispensation of grace; that our ambassadorship on behalf of Christ is to announce to the world that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their transgression unto them. We are the special envoys of Jesus Christ.
Speaking forth the mind of the Father concerning the nation, Dr. Shawn Smith declared that Cameroon will be known for the unveiled face of Jesus Christ; and from the nation will emerge churches that will preach the revelation of Paul. The Man of God also declared words of blessing over the continent of Africa, which he called a continent destined for greatness. His benediction to the ministers present was for there to be a quickening for the effortless flow of the Holy Spirit in their lives, for restful increase, and that we may minister with Jesus Christ as co-laborers, knowing what it is to work with the Father and how to walk in the Spirit, with God giving us the tongue of the learned that we will rightly divide the Word of Truth.
The Blessed God has blessed us with all blessings.

Giant Galaxy Supercluster Found Lurking in Early Universe
October 20, 2018 - by Rakesh Sashmal
Scientists have discovered a primitive "supercluster" of galaxies forming in the early Universe, just 2.3 billion years after the Big Bang.
The structure, nicknamed Hyperion, is the largest and most massive to be found so early in the formation of the Universe, which sprang into existence around 13.7 billion years ago.
Its titanic mass is one million billion times that of the Sun.
"This is the first time that such a large structure has been identified at such a high redshift, just over two billion years after the Big Bang," said Olga Cucciati, a researcher at the Astrophysics and Space Sciences Observatory in Bologna and lead author of a study detailing the discovery.
Redshift is a measure of the changing wavelength of light travelling away from an observer.
"Normally these kinds of structures are known at lower redshifts, which means when the Universe has had much more time to evolve and construct such huge things," Cucciati said.
Located in the constellation of Sextans (The Sextant), Hyperion was identified by analysing the vast amount of data obtained from the VIMOS Ultra-deep Survey, which provides a unique 3D map of how more than 10,000 galaxies are distributed in the distant Universe.
Hyperion is similar in size to nearby superclusters, though it has a very different architecture, the researchers said.
The findings were published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
"Superclusters closer to Earth tend to have a much more concentrated distribution of mass with clear structural features," explains co-author Brian Lemaux, an astronomer from University of California at Davis.
"But in Hyperion, the mass is distributed much more uniformly in a series of connected blobs populated by loose associations of galaxies."
This contrast is most likely due to the fact that nearby superclusters have had billions of years for gravity to gather matter together into denser regions — a process that has been acting for far less time in the much younger Hyperion.
Over time, Hyperion will likely evolve into something like the Virgo Supercluster, which contains our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
