Itâs no secret that we live in a data driven world: a world where technology has allowed us to get to the point where, according to IBM, more than 90% of the worldâs data was created in the last two years alone. It is a phenomenon that has led to the emergence of data science and data scientists, the increased need for statisticians, and experts in informational design such as Edward Tufte, fellow of the American Statistical Organization.
The problem is that the massive amount of data that we generate is difficult to keep up with, access, comprehend, and thus effectively use to our benefit.
The Purpose of Data Visualization:
Emerging heavily as a result within the last few years are data visualization tools, designed to help us work more effectively with data.
Most of us interpret and understand information best visually and thus information visualization is often key to true comprehension. Data visualization is, as its name suggests, a visual representation of data, its main benefits being in making complex data more accessible, interpretable, and presentable. It is closely related to the fields of information visualization, information graphics, scientific visualization, and statistical graphics.
David McCandless, London based author, data journalist, information designer, and founder of the website Information is Beautiful acknowledges that, in an age where we are often plagued by âinformation overload,â in addition to looking really cool, visualizing information allows us to see patterns and connections that matter and thus design information to make more sense, to focus only on the information thatâs important, and to tell stories.
Challenges and Limitations of Data Visualization Tools:
The challenge in not only recognizing the value in big data, but in actually making use of it, lies in the ability to effectively understand it. There are some obvious limitations when it comes to using data visualization tools to decode your data and actually benefit from the results.
The original ZoomCharts team recognized these limitations. There was no data visualization library available where data could be explored interactively on all modern devices. What was out there was either data visualization tools where data could be displayed on modern devices in static visualizations, or where it could be displayed interactively, but not on all modern devices.
How ZoomCharts Aimed to Solve These Issues:
The story of how ZoomCharts got started began with recognizing the limitations of simply working with current technology, and not anticipating the needs and desires arising with the advancement of newer and future technologies. The teamâs focus thus became creating charts and graphs that would be supported by the technology of tomorrow. The resulting software:
⢠Is 100% interactive and responsive, allowing users to see only the information they need, and drill down further into the data when necessary
⢠Is able to support massive data sets
⢠Works with any modern device, including tablets, phones, and other mobile devices that use touch screens, giving users the ability to tap, swipe, and pinch their way to exploring the intricacies of their data
⢠Performs at incredibly fast speeds, with no lag or waiting time involved when making changes to data presentation, even with big data sets

The church of the Holy Innocents at High Beach, Epping Forest, is a delightful building of entirely 19th century origin which I have driven past many times and have occasionally photographed on the outside. However I was lucky enough to spot the church doors were open one Saturday while out with 'MCE' and we met the ladies of the church who were tidying up after an event. They kindly showed us around inside and are clearly very proud of their building.
www.flickr.com/photos/barryslemmings/sets/72157594558470717/ to see the full set including earlier pictures taken last year.
The church history is somewhat complicated but the shorthand version is that the present building was built in 1873 by local man Thomas Baring [of Baring Brothers' Bank] who was a parish warden at the old church and who offered to build the new church at his own expense provided he could have the final say in the design.
The architect was Arthur Blomfield [later Sir Arthur] who chose the Early English style. Poet John Betjeman later said Blomfield could: "turn out an impressive church in almost any style". The design consists of an apsidal chancel, transepts, a nave and a north west tower. It cost £5,500 to build.
Curiously the parish, which had first started at the St.Paul's site elsewhere in 1836, appeared to exist somewhat outside the church hierachy. Although opened without ceremony on June 22, 1873, the new church was only licenced for Sunday services and baptisms with all weddings still being performed at St.Paul's.
Indeed the new church was not actually consecrated until 11 years later, in 1883, and only after a petition for consecration to the Bishop. Two days after the consecration the vicar applied to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for the church to be made a parish church only to find that he first needed the permission of the vicar of nearby Waltham Cross.
The original parish area had been taken out of Waltham Cross's orbit in 1836 but no signed waiver existed from Waltham Cross over the parish fees. All this came as a surprise to the vicar of Waltham Cross as he had exercised no claim over the fees and didn't even know he was entitled to them. However he was a good sport and willingly signed a waiver on all fees paving the way to parish church status.
The earlier St.Paul's church was finally demolished in 1885 following vandalism by day trippers who now flocked to Epping Forest from the East End of London and because the earlier church was poorly sited and needed repairs. The old site is near Lippitts Hill but contains no traces of the 1836 building.
Today Holy Innocents has a tower and spire 125 feet high and the tower contains thirteen hemispherical bells cast in 1873 at Whitechapel Foundry. These are not controlled by traditional bell ropes but by a carillon, a framework of wooden handles which control hammers in the belfrey. Mrs Jane Begley demonstrated these to MCE and myself. She explained the sheet music uses a simple numbered notation and - after a little prodding by myself - MCE had a go and was soon broadcasting "All Things Bright and Beautiful" over a three or four mile radius of Epping Forest which made for an interesting afternoon. My thanks to Mrs Begley for her patience and enthusiasm.
There is some controversy over the spelling of 'High Beech' or 'High Beach' and Mrs Begley pointed out that the carpet in the chancel hedges its bets by including both spellings [see photos].

I have driven past Winchester on the M3 five times this year, on the sixth passing, I tried to find a place to park so I could visit the cathedral.
It costs £8.50 to go in, but you can take as many pictures as you like, which is fine by me.
The Nave and Chancel are huge, and long. All surfaces are apparently covered with memorials, with other spaces filled with chapels and shrines to past Bishops, as well as the relics of St Swithun.
It did rain after I left. Not a good sign.
-------------------------------------------
Winchester Cathedral is a cathedral of the Church of England in Winchester, Hampshire, England. It is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe, with the longest nave and greatest overall length of any Gothic cathedral in Europe.[3]
Dedicated to the Holy Trinity,[1] Saint Peter, Saint Paul, and before the Reformation, Saint Swithun,[4] it is the seat of the Bishop of Winchester and centre of the Diocese of Winchester. The cathedral is a Grade I listed building.
The cathedral was founded in 642 on a site immediately to the north of the present one. This building became known as the Old Minster. It became part of a monastic settlement in 971.
Saint Swithun was buried near the Old Minster and then in it, before being moved to the new Norman cathedral. So-called mortuary chests said to contain the remains of Saxon kings such as King Eadwig of England, first buried in the Old Minster, and his wife Ælfgifu, are in the present cathedral.[5] The Old Minster was demolished in 1093, immediately after the consecration of its successor.
In 1079, Walkelin, Bishop of Winchester, began work on a completely new cathedral.[6] Much of the limestone used to build the structure was brought across from quarries around Binstead, Isle of Wight. Nearby Quarr Abbey draws its name from these workings, as do several nearby places such as Stonelands and Stonepitts. The remains of the Roman trackway used to transport the blocks are still evident across the fairways of the Ryde Golf Club, where the stone was hauled from the quarries to the hythe at the mouth of Binstead Creek, and thence by barge across the Solent and up to Winchester.[citation needed][No sign of any Binstead Creek on the map]
The building was consecrated in 1093. On 8 April of that year, according to the Annals of Winchester, "in the presence of almost all the bishops and abbots of England, the monks came with the highest exultation and glory from the old minster to the new one: on the Feast of S. Swithun they went in procession from the new minster to the old one and brought thence S. Swithun's shrine and placed it with honour in the new buildings, and on the following day Walkelin's men first began to pull down the old minster."[6]
A substantial amount of the fabric of Walkelin's building, including crypt, transepts and the basic structure of the nave, survives.[7] The original crossing tower, however, collapsed in 1107, an accident blamed by the cathedral's medieval chroniclers on the burial of the dissolute William Rufus beneath it in 1100.[6] Its replacement, which survives today, is still in the Norman style, with round-headed windows. It is a squat, square structure, 50 feet (15 m) wide, but rising only 35 feet (11 m) above the ridge of the transept roof.[8] The Tower is 150 feet (46 m) tall.
After the consecration of Godfrey de Luci as bishop in 1189, a retrochoir was added in the Early English style. The next major phase of rebuilding was not until the mid-14th century, under bishops Edington and Wykeham.[10] Edingdon (1346–1366)[11] removed the two westernmost bays of the nave, built a new west front and began the remodelling of the nave.[12]
Under William of Wykeham (1367–1404) the Romanesque nave was transformed[clarification needed], recased in Caen stone and remodelled in the Perpendicular style,[13] with its internal elevation divided into two, rather than the previous three, storeys.[14] The wooden ceilings were replaced with stone vaults.[13]
Wykeham's successor, Henry of Beaufort (1405–1447) carried out fewer alterations, adding only a chantry on the south side of the retrochoir, although work on the nave may have continued through his episcopy.[15] His successor, William of Waynflete (1447–1486), built another chantry in a corresponding position on the north side. Under Peter Courtenay (Bishop 1486–1492) and Thomas Langton (1493–1500), there was more work. De Luci's Lady chapel was lengthened, and the Norman side aisles of the presbytery replaced. In 1525, Richard Foxe (Bishop 1500–1528) added the side screens of the presbytery, which he also gave a wooden vault.[10] With its progressive extensions, the east end is now about 110 feet (34 m) beyond that of Walkelin's building
King Henry VIII seized control of the Catholic Church in England and declared himself head of the Church of England. The Benedictine foundation, the Priory of Saint Swithun, was dissolved. The priory surrendered to the king in 1539. The next year a new chapter was formed, and the last prior, William Basyng, was appointed dean.[17] The monastic buildings, including the cloister and chapter house, were later demolished, mostly during the 1560–1580 tenure of the reformist bishop Robert Horne.[18][19]
North Transept
The Norman choir screen, having fallen into a state of decay, was replaced in 1637–40 by a new one, designed by Inigo Jones. It was in a classical style, with bronze figures by Hubert le Sueur of James I and Charles I in niches. It was removed in 1820, by when its style was felt inappropriate in an otherwise medieval building. The central bay, with its archway, is now in the University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at Cambridge;[20] it was replaced by a Gothic screen by Edward Garbett, its design based on the west doorway of the nave.[21]
This stone structure was itself removed in the 1870s to make way for a wooden one designed by George Gilbert Scott,[22] who modelled it on the canopies of the choir stalls of the monks (dating from around 1308).[23] Scott's west-facing screen has been much criticised, although the carving is of superlative workmanship and virtually replicates the earlier, albeit finer, carving of the early 14th century east-facing return stalls on to which it backs. The displaced bronze statues of the Stuart kings were moved to the west end of the Cathedral, standing in niches on each side of the central door. Scott's work was otherwise conservative. He moved the lectern to the north side of the quire beside the pulpit, facing west, where it remained for a century before returning to its present central position, now facing east.

It's difficult to read this much text while driving... especially at 60 MPH and trying to hold the camera steady! Garmin FAIL!
A cartel driven SUV that was part of a two vehicle attempt to cross the border in the early hours of May 14, 2016, lies on the Mexican side of the border.
While the perpetrators were able to cut through the steel barrier with a cutting torch, this Ford SUV became buried in the sand when the perpetrators attempted to pull the large piece of the barrier that they had cut free into Mexico, in order to drive their vehicle(s) into the United States.
The Border Patrol spent the rest of the day playing "wack-a-mole" with about ten individuals from this group who were trying to cross the border without the use of their vehicles.
The SUV had California plates but the one on the front didn't match the one on the back, the vehicle looked like it was built from more than one car and the whole scene just screamed "half ass."

Wind driven rain and sea. I just love a bit of a gale. I tried down the pier a bit but it was SO wet! Makes for dire photography but just had to do something.
