hi rie! i know you’re off tumblr this week but if you have the time when you’re back, what do you find “wormy” abt the pacific?

hi!!! i'm back :))

so this is in reference to this post, where i say that the pacific is a whole new can of worms that is. wormy

which isn't exactly a bad thing to me, but i do feel like the pacific can be more difficult for people to watch. i.e., i have trouble watching it because of some of the language used, and i know my brother has trouble watching it because of the amount of deaths that are just. useless.

i think maybe because of when it was made, the pacific didn't really have rose-tinted glasses on for its plot (as opposed to band of brothers, where in the end, it shows that everything was worth it and it was all a common goal and all killing was for a reason etc etc etc), and that the level of violence and pain that is shown in the pacific can be harder to watch

so on top of the violence and death in the pacific, along with the language, it can be harder to watch for a lot of people (in my opinion) and has a lot more moving parts.

the best way i can find to explain this in the end would be like. for example, i can't watch episode six of band of brothers or m*a*s*h anymore, not because i don't love them or because they're bad, but because my experience as a paramedic and working in an er have made those shows upsetting for me, for a bunch of different reasons, to watch just casually for entertainment.

in the end, i guess i'd say that the pacific is "wormy" because in the end, it's more about brutality than anything else, and can be difficult to watch.

idk! that's just what i think :) thanks for asking!

#rie answers #does this make sense? no? okay #also the pacific has a lot of leckie sex which for me removes some of its quality. i'm nothing if not a hater of nonrequired sex scenes tbh #anywho! #band of brothers #hbo war #the pacific

Earth, Ohio, To Be Named U.S. City of the Future Finalist 

NEW YORK CITY—I asked the rocket pilot while we waited to land if Earth was always like this: fair weather, good visibility—and hundreds of people moving through the sky in hundreds of ways.

“Pretty much,” he told me—and then spit out the pilot-side window with a walloping smack.

So I settled back into my harness and waited for air traffic control to clear the rest of our descent, delayed to my great surprise by all the colorful flight paths and passengers that fluttered and fell from the skies over the city of Earth. There were divers and parachuters in sparkling jumpsuits whizzing past us on their way down; children's bottle rockets peeked over the clouds; a trio of antique planes buzzed on the horizon; and bright red hang gliders drifted below us like kites. The spitting captain must have noticed my concern, for he assured me they'd move out of the way in a minute. 

“I won’t hit ‘em,” he promised—and spit again. 

We were suspended above hundreds of squares and acres of farmland and forest, the roar of the hovering rocket was filling our ears, and I had never seen so many rural and suburban landings and launches in my whole life—so many torpedo-shaped hatchbacks coming up from emerald-green backyards and then heading back down to the shining little city below. Amazing, I thought, albeit sheepishly. I was used to the hustle and bustle of New York City’s hover taxis, rocket elevators, and smoggy skylines; when I accepted this assignment, I imagined myself used to the “country,” too—but I had never seen spaceships nesting down among the trees and picket fences and patios the way they did in the small Midwestern city of Earth, whose sign read: Welcome to Earth… Where we just can’t keep our feet on the ground!

I’m turning 40 at the end of the month, so I just spent a half hour writing out a list of everything I’ve done in the past ten years. They have been years of extreme highs and lows. Everything significant I’ve accomplished artistically (so far) happened in my 30s. I’ve been extremely fortunate and have also had a lot of bad luck. I’ve worked hard to achieve a lot of my goals even under the most chaotic and upsetting conditions. Here’s a basic highlight reel:

I entered my 30s in a fog of postpartum depression and spent much of the first year and a half single-parenting our baby while Dominic was gone on deployments and work training trips. 

I bought another house (Dominic really managed this, but my name’s on the mortgage, so it counts).

I ran three half-marathons.

I lived in Omaha, Pensacola, Colorado Springs, Montgomery, and then in Omaha again.

I did adjunct work at two different colleges and writing center work at another college.

I started writing and publishing poetry again. All in all, I’ve published 70 poems in various literary journals over the past ten years.

I travelled to Mexico, Spain, Roatan, Belize, Portland, Tampa, San Antonio, New Orleans, Vermont, Boston, New York City, Cape Cod, and honestly several other places.

I euthanized one cat and adopted another.

I survived the first year after our kid was diagnosed with ADHD and autism. I learned how to be a better parent to him. Together with my spouse, various therapists, and teachers, we’ve worked with him on communication, impulse control, and managing his emotions. At ten he’s in such a better place than he was when he was diagnosed at six, but it’s a journey, and there are lots of ups and downs.

Speaking of ups and downs, we all survived a big regression my kid had at the beginning of the pandemic. It was scary and sad, but we made it through.

Also, ugh the pandemic the pandemic the pandemic.

I won a poetry prize through my press and published my first book of poems. I won a poetry prize through a literary journal. I won a poetry prize through my graduate department. One of my poems was anthologized in the 2019 Best American Nonrequired Reading.

I was awarded funding to attend the Sewanee Writers’ Conference and the Vermont Studio Center.

I started doing editing work for the literary journal I volunteer for.

I attended three AWP conferences.

I was accepted to a PhD program in Creative Writing after applying to it three times over the course of about ten years.

My IUD failed and I got pregnant. That pregnancy ended tragically, just three weeks short of viability. 

I’ve done a lot of therapy the past two years.

I did life drawing sessions briefly but regularly just before the pandemic hit.

I met so many people, mostly other poets and writers and artists. Before the pandemic, I felt happy with my social life. Now, I feel isolated and sad and lonely, but I’m hopeful that eventually I’ll find more equilibrium. 

I twirled batons twice as a Leijorette in Chewbacchus, which is a Mardi Gras parade.

I finished the coursework portion of my PhD program. I mostly excelled as both a student and a teacher even though each semester brought a new crisis and unimaginable difficulty. 

I have grown creatively and empathetically. I still like to run and draw and write. I still haven’t had much of any kind of professional career, though I’m trying to establish the beginning of one through this PhD. I’m not the best spouse, but I’m a good spouse to Dominic (most times.) I’m not the best mom, but I’m a good mom to my kid (most times.) I’m not the best poet, but I work hard and write and publish good poems sometimes. I’m lucky to have the life I have; I’m also frustrated by how difficult my life has been at times during these past ten years. I’ve navigated a lot of hard stuff, but I’m still here, about to enter the next decade.

Healthcare Smart Card Reader Market Will Reach USD 2,642 Million by 2030

As per a statement by a market research institution, P&S Intelligence, the healthcare smart card reader market generated a value of USD 953 million in 2022, and it is projected to generate a value of USD 2,642 million, growing at a 13.60% compound annual growth rate, by 2030.

The growth in the industry of healthcare smart card reader is driven by the increasing digitization rate, the growing number of medical records, and the mounting number of patients.

Additionally, the advent of smart cards with micro-IC chips has provided more value to healthcare facilities, promoting them to offer such cards to their staff members or employee, therefore boosting the reader systems requirement.

Moreover, in recent years, the industry has increased its emphasis on gaining trust among the medical fraternity and the patient. This has resulted in the implementation of smart card technology in administrative processes for an enhanced protected workflow.

In 2022, the contactless category accounted for the largest revenue share in the healthcare smart card reader market, at 27%. This is credited to the fact that smart card readers are accessible with several interfaces. Contact-based types need manual card insertion into the device, on the other hand, the contactless type necessitates no physical interaction.

The major benefits of contactless readers are advanced processing of data and access granting speed, the nonrequirement to insert the smart card into the reader, and its suitability.

The healthcare industry is widely using smart cards to store and retrieve identity credentials of patients securely, for instance, photographs, imaging or laboratory results, and treatment data.

Moreover, this technology allows cashless payment transactions at clinics and hospitals and reduces the need for carrying cash. Additionally, smart cards enhance the security and confidentiality of patient information, as well as enable secure hospital access.

In 2022, the European industry, healthcare smart card reader generated over 32% revenue share. This is attributed to the increasing emphasis of the private and governments sector in Europe to provide the best possible care.

Additionally, various European countries have their national identity cards for healthcare services, therefore promoting businesses to produce distinctive and secure card readers.

The APAC industry is will witness the fastest growth, at approximately 14.6% compound annual growth rate, in the years to come. This is attributed to the advancement of technology in the healthcare industry and advantageous initiatives by the governments.

It is because of the increasing rate of digitization, the mounting number of patients, and the rising record of medical, the global industry of healthcare smart card reader will continue to grow significantly in the years to come.

Stress and Excitement as City of 150,000 Prepares for a Whole World’s Fair

Cleveland, Ohio—Roughly an hour due south and then a little to the left of Cleveland lies the small city of Earth, Ohio, a historic pilot’s town and rocket epicenter that’s been quietly thriving near Wooster for hundreds of years. But why do we think of Earth as quiet? As Clevelanders, it’s easy to be caught up in the sparkle and shine of our city’s zipping rocket traffic and silvery lakeshores and get to thinking of anything less as rural and uneventful. But in fact, the city of Earth has been appearing and reappearing in history books for as long as it’s been around.

It was in Earth, after all, that Amy Earhart II launched her historic solo flight across the torus-shaped sea of looming asteroids that now populate the spaceway tourist traps and rest stops along Flight Path 66. And it was in Earth that June Skipper landed, after becoming the first person ever to skydive from above the atmosphere. It was in Earth, ten years ago, that the last toxic ecological accident on this planet occurred.

And now, perhaps in part to celebrate its many successes while also making up for its greatest shame, Earth, Ohio, is being true to its name and hosting an event of positively planet-sized proportions: The 2157 World’s Fair—coinciding with this upcoming Earth Day, no less.

It’s exciting for not just the small city but also Cleveland and all of Ohio—and indeed, Ohioans have been talking about it ever since the year turned over in January. And yet, when the decision to host the event was first announced four years ago, many resented the idea.

“They called it foolhardy,” says the former mayor of Earth, Ohio. “Earth Day is a big travel day, of course; everyone wants to get back to the home planet for the holidays, and we know that—we get twice as much travel as Wooster does on Earth Day, you know.”

Local city rivalries aside, the date has caused some arguably justified panic over rocket parking and sky capacity. The city already celebrates a crowded Earth Day each year, with many local festivities enjoyed by residents and their loved ones. Several small businesses in the area have also found opportunities to share with their communities on Earth Days past. The fear this year is that with traffic choked by visitors to the fair, community traditions will have to be canceled and loved ones returning from the Solar System might not be able to find a clear path down to the planet in the days preceding the event.

“I know it’s good for the city’s image and whatnot,” says local resident Jill Cometmann. “But to me, Earth Day is about family and the ground below our feet and the roots we all share.” Deciding not to risk her sister's absence on April 22, Jill intends to head to their mother's place in Indiana for the holidays. “It's a pain, but it's the only guarantee I'll have that everyone can be in the same place, I think.”

Other residents, like Ray Scott, agree with Jill. “The city sold out Earth Day with this fiasco!” argues Ray. “They weren't thinking about us at all!”

But the former mayor of Earth, Ohio, says that's just not true.

“We went after this event because we believe in the city of Earth. We've come so far from the disaster ten years ago, and our city has so much to share with the world—from futuristic meteorological wonders to planet-friendly marvels and ultra hope-modern accessibility aids, this fair will be a huge leap forward for mankind. We'll have celebrities and food—and our local businesses will flourish. We're really out there to show the whole world a good time this year, to show everyone how bright our future could be, and to stand proud as good stewards of the Earth and all its creatures.”

The 2157 World's Fair, “Earthstravaganza: The Greatest Future on Earth” will take place April 22 to April 29 and feature dazzling visions of the past and future, hosted by the proud city of Earth.
