Morstad, Julie. how to. Simply Read books, 2013. Print. Anyone who is a fan of creative and lateral thinking will love this book. The simple text and illustrations evoke complex connections and imagination. The title gives away that it is a “how to…” book but the things to do and learn are not your usual “… make cookies” or “… build a birdhouse.” I love that the text problems are answered by text-less illustrations. For example, “how to make new friends” is answered by an image of a child making sidewalk chalk drawings of various creatures (including people) and “how to wash your socks” is accompanied by a group of children stomping in a puddle of clean-looking water. While a few “how to’s” are answered with several possibilities, most have only one. This might be considered a weakness or, on further reflection, the multiple-answer examples suggest a pattern so the reader will search for their own variations.I’ll admit to some discomfort with the choice to make all the “how to” phrases unpunctuated and in lower case letters because I believe proper writing is learned through example. However, it is a tiny quibble about an inspirational book. I will be sure to feel the breeze and appreciate the face wash on my bike ride home in the rain.Recommended:  4 out of 4 starsReviewer: David SulzDavid is a Public Services Librarian at University of Alberta and liaison librarian to Economics, Religious Studies, and Social Work.

We proposed and developed a Bike-sharing system that accepts bike passengers’ real-time ride requests sent from smart phones and schedules proper bikes to pick up them via ride sharing, subject to time, capacity, and monetary constraints. The monetary constraints provide incentives for both passengers and bike drivers. Passengers will not pay more compared with no ridesharing and get repayment if their travel time is long or extended due to ride sharing; bike drivers will make money for all the long way around distance due to ride sharing or they contribute money for petrol. While such a system is of important social and environmental benefit, e.g., saving energy consumption and satisfying people’s commute, getting minimum vehicles, saving petrol, saving environment, relieve traffic jam. Real-time bike-sharing has not been well studied yet. To this end, we plan a mobile-cloud architecture based bike-sharing system. Bike riders and bike drivers use the bike-sharing service provided by the system via a smart phone App. The GPS first finds candidate bike quickly for a bike ride request using a bike searching algorithm. A scheduling process is then performed in the cloud to select a bike that satisfies the request with minimum increase in travel distance.
