About the Webcast
The technological components of a “smart city,” including everything from smart grids and driverless cars to automated buildings and advanced sensors, can be complicated. But the core question behind the purpose of a smart city is quite simple: does it make human lives better?
That’s the key theme explored in the webcast “The Connected City: Trends and Developments Driving Smart City Innovation,” produced by MIT Technology Review and IEEE Collabratec. Three influential subject matter experts with different backgrounds in developing smart cities delve into how these cities influence their human populations. Other discussion topics include government’s role in advancing smart cities and key trends affecting the smart-cities landscape. The speakers also examine the required factors for creating intelligent urban environments including a vision, efficient use of technology, an environment that attracts a talented workforce, and an enabling infrastructure.
Dr. Massoud Amin, a professor at the University of Minnesota and IEEE fellow, focuses his research on the energy that powers smart cities, such as the important global transition dynamics needed to enhance these intelligent systems and the technology influencing them. Dr. Ryan Chin, CEO of OptimusRide, concentrates on urban mobility systems, with intriguing work on a network of self-driving, shared-use, and electric vehicles called Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) Systems. Finally, Nigel Jacob comes from the world of civic innovation, working specifically on making urban life better via cutting-edge, people-oriented applications of technology and design.
“Everything we do is geared towards improving human condition and advancing the civilization that we often take for granted,” Amin says. “As engineers, we enable better quality of life for people.”
The bigger-picture discussion continuously points to the idea of promoting a “people-first” approach to developing smart cities. For example, one topic of concern is how involved residents are in transforming their communities into “smart cities.”
“For the past several years, we have been experimenting with several online platforms that are designed to make civic engagement as easy as possible,” Jacob says. “We have always seen this as an opportunity to explore the interface between the public and the private sectors.” By incorporating public input into the decision-making process, communities can feel confident that the systems are doing what’s needed and requested.
“The whole idea of a smart city is not just about power or buildings. It’s about the whole ecosystem--how you educate people, how you empower people, the economic growth it can bring and what opportunities it can bring,” Amin says.

Boil These Leaves and Say Goodbye to Diabetes without Taking Any Medications
by Sublime
August 4, 2016, 8:20 pm These leaves are very beneficial for our overall health, because they are rich in vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and many other minerals.
Diabetes is a common condition that affects many people all around the world.It happens when your pancreas stop producing insulin or when your body is not able to properly use the insulin which is present in the body. It is as common as it is deadly. (Source) What are the symptoms of Diabetes?
Urinating more often than usual, especially at night
Feeling very thirsty
Unexplained loss of weight
Itching around the penis or vagina
Cuts or wounds that heal very slowly
Blurred vision
Feeling very tired When ignored or left untreated, Diabetes can lead to a series of other serious illnesses such as blindness, nerve damage, kidney failure, heart disease, erectile dysfunction (in men). With processed food and fast food readily available, the number of diabetic people increase by the day. So, what can we do to cure diabetes if we don’t have money for medication? Simple: a few mango leaves, and a pot of water. Here’s how:
First take 10 to 15 tender mango leaves, then boil them in a glass of water and leave them to say overnight. In the morning álter the water and drink it on an empty stomach. For best results you should use this method for two or three months.
You can also dry the leaves in a dark place and ground them. Use half a teaspoon of this powdered mango leaves two times a day.
Mango leaves tea can is beneficial to our overall health. They can treat many health conditions such as: fever, diarrhea, insomnia, varicose veins, asthma, bronchitis and colds. Also these leaves can lower your blood pressure and strengthen your blood vessels.

I am not diabetic. But I would say try it while taking your regular insulin. It should show results in tests after 2 months.
As for side effects, everything has side effects on prolonged use. So fdy Stop Go.
Finally the potential benefits seem tremendous at a low cost. The risks seem observable. Go. For It.

The pervasiveness of kidney failure in our clime has been attributed, among others to the unrestrained consumption of concoctions called "agbo." These are scientifically untested and unproven preparations, often without dosage. Without scientific data showing what is in these substances that reverses the effect of the ailments they are claimed to cure, they are at best dangerous, and need be regarded with caution. Consumer beware!

If you are a scientist why not investigate if the leaf has other dangerous substance, instead of always criticising everything African.

Nkaninye Amadi . No need making some one's observation sound stupid. We learn every day. Honestly, no one says herbs don't have their usefulness. However, the only problem we really have is scientific analysis to know if they also contain poisonous substance. But most especially the dose to take at what time. I have a friend who was right from age 20 was taking every thing in ogogoro with herbs roots and other concoctions on a regular bases, today just above 50 years, one of his kidneys is damaged. Doctor told him he is lucky the other one is still good. So that is the point w are making.

Folks, those in the pharmacitical industries are not going to tell you the truth because if they do, they will be out of business. There will be no jobs for them and for the doctors. Some independent research institutions need to be setup to validate this finding. That does not mean that the above finding is false.

This mango leaves pretty sure for real helps in curing diabetes...it's true that the pharmaceutical industry will not tell people about the cures because they wanted to maintain sick people for life and get their billions...remember no money on healthy people and a butt load of money on sick one's...so it really depends on us if we wanted to go that route...diabetes runs in our family, I just hope I don't get em especially now that am in my mid forties...I chose to eat whole, no processed, 70% mostly plant based foods and organic as possible...i eat fresh garlic about 5 small wedges/cloves on my smoothie almost everyday...I juice on a daily basis with ginger, beets , carrots , cucumber, celery and apples about 1000 to 1500 cc total fluids of pure organic juice in the morning on an empty stomach consumed in 45 min to an hour...am not just triggering one thing at this point...inflammation is d main cause of everything including diabetes...

Melva Davis caution with cinnamon it can cause other problems such as kidney damage if overdoing it. Turmeric powder as a tea helps with many people. It can also be used as a seasoning rather than a tea. Just need more of it that way

There needs to be scientific studies- randomized or cohort looking at the use of this treatment for diabetes as well as the side effects if any. Please do not use this treatment to replace your diabetic medication for now. After appropriate studies have been done showing benefits and side effect profiles maby then you can discuss with your doctor. For now do not use...you can damage your organs.

In the Caribbean we use bush tea for everything. These medications kill you faster than bush tea of any sort. My grand mother never take medication in all her life she use bush. When she died at 104 year old it was not because of sicknesd but old age.
