+Q: Question about this table from "The Blind Mechanic." Chapter title: "And Then It Happened."
+A few words in the last column are cut off. For example, in the 9th row, it says "Childrens" and then the next word is cut off. In the 13th row, the doctor's name is cut off. What should I do for the cut-off words?
+{{ :public:nnels:etext:images:blindmechanicchart.jpg?400 |}}
+Also, for the Halifax Relief Committee form from my last question, I noticed that there is a name under the "Children" section that is blurred out. It occurred to me that Eric has an older sister and that the blurred-out name is probably the sister's name. The "badly burned" description also seems to be in line with the sister's name.
+I do wonder if readers may be confused as to why Eric's sister doesn't appear to be mentioned at all on the form. Should I mention somewhere that there is a blurred-out name?

+Q: This is an image from "The Blind Mechanic" from the chapter titled "Recovery and Transition." I'm having trouble reading some of the words on it (particularly the handwritten parts and the parts near the top where some words are crossed out). The image's caption suggests that the important details are the descriptions of the injuries and the note under "Investigator's suggestion as to what should be done." Would a full long description be necessary for this image?
+{{ :public:nnels:etext:images:bmechanicimage.jpg?400 |}}
+A: A long description should be done for this image. You can use multiple modalities (lists, subheadings, paragraph breaks) as needed.
+No need to describe what is crossed out. Divide the form into subsections below the main heading and describe all the data in either lists or tables depending on the data type. You may need to play around with this, it looks like it may need a mixed of both.
+The top reads:
+Surname: Davidson
+Address: 584 Gottigen St.
+No. of Rooms: 5
+Rent: 17.00
+Hand written note: Block 3 Apt. 26, North Park St.
+The second section seems fairly straight forward.
+The third section is in columns. The info is as follows:
+Children: John, Eric
+Age: 2 1/2
+Condition: Badly burned, badly injured, and two eyes out
+Losses: House (owned), Buisness (plant), Furniture and and clothing, Injury to health
+Description: All destroted (sp) aligns with Furniture and clothing, all very badly injured aligns with injury to health.
+Estimated value: hand written note reads: Claim
+The other sections are fairly clear to read.
+The other handwritten note appears after clothing and reads: "food"
+(I did archival work, and you get good a reading old scanned documents)

+Q: Alt-text/ long description for chart in Part 5 of the NKJV Life Application Study Bible. I know this information should be in a table because of a previous similar (but simpler) chart, but I’m not sure how many columns, or possibly how many tables.
+For kings of Israel and kings of Judah, there is the following information:
+  * Year of start of reign
+  * Length of reign
+  * King’s name
+  * Events associated with king
+  * Accomplishments of king
+  * Bible references
+There are also bars that represent prophets that prophesied during the kings’ reigns, and sometimes the prophets overlap with multiple kings.
+Here is image 1 of 4 that connect. In images 3 and 4, there are additional bars representing the prophets in the bottom section as well as the top section.
+{{ :public:nnels:etext:harmonychart1.jpg?600 |}}
+A: You would do the same thing as you did for the other table. Create a heading for the prophets. If they repeat, repeat the name in the corresponding cell. If there is no prophet then treat as a blank cell.
+Q part 2: So to confirm, all of the information about each king (length of reign, events, accomplishments, Bible references) can go in one cell? So I would have only 1 table of 4 columns (date, king of Israel, king of Judah, prophet)?
+A: A table is designed for the organization of tabular data, this means every column needs to be its own piece of data that aligns with the header row. You will need to have a column for each piece of data in this visualization. Let me know if you require more clarification.

+Q: In the NKJV Life Application Study Bible, there are links to other sections that look like asides and many include images. We have agreed that some images are decorative and can be removed. I have also come across some that include thumbnail images of the image in the section that it is linked to. (And have since realized that some in a previous section I submitted are like this as well--the maps.) Can I also consider these decorative and wait to describe them fully in the later section? Or should I describe the thumbnails thoroughly because the reader comes across them before the full-sized image?
+First screenshot is an example of already-determined-to-be-decorative images. Second is an example of a thumbnail.
+{{ :public:nnels:etext:images:linkdecorative.jpg?400 |}}
+{{ :public:nnels:etext:images:linkdecorativeq.jpg?400 |}}
+A: Both are decorative.

 Q: Follow up question about the timeline lists in NKJV Life Application Study Bible. I’m not sure if ordered or unordered lists are better. Most of the events already have dates associated with them, which means I could use an unordered list with multiple levels for the multiple events. However, the first two events in the first image of the timeline has two events that are undated; I think an ordered list would more clearly show where those events are in the sequence. What do you think?

-A: It would be better to use a more clear and direct word for the reading level, for example ''she cries: "Sob, Sob, Sob".  The prod not for this book should be fairly brief, do not use the full comic prod note as this is not a comic. Include note about illustration style, and background style. The speech bubbles can be included in your note about the illustration style. For example: ''All the images in this book are drawn as simple line figures over a background that imitates a lined piece of paper. Many of the images include the characters speaking to each other with speech bubbles, as well as sounds represented with words. These have been transcribed directly into the Alt-text as they occur.'' Feel free to reword that as needed.
