German man rides moped naked as Europe sizzles in record-breaking heat
One German man found a temporary solution to beat Europe's record heatwave: by riding his moped naked.
Police stopped the man who was riding in the northeastern German state of Brandenburg. He had reportedly taken off all his clothes as he rode his moped through the streets.
Brandenburg police shared images of the man on Twitter on Wednesday; when the nude man was pulled over, he said to the officer: "It's warm, eh?"
"We're speechless," the police wrote, using the hashtags "#heat," "#safetyfirst," and "#lifeatthelimit."
Other German police departments weighed in with jokes, with Frankfurt's police tweeting: "Citizens in Frankfurt pay a lot of attention to their health and skin, and normally are dressed when they're underway."
Germany, like most of Western Europe, is currently facing sizzling high temperatures as hot air comes in from the Sahara. Some parts of the country have seen record-high temperatures this week, with one area near the Polish border recording a temperature of 38.5 degrees Celsius, or 101.3 Fahrenheit.
In some parts of Europe, temperatures are due to reach up to 45 C (113 F), and scientists say climate change is to blame.
Authorities across the continent are utilising a number of options to keep citizens cool. In the Czech Republic, a city worker parked a sprinkler truck in the public plaza and sprayed water into the air.
Paris officials have opened swimming pools, introduced new water fountains and mist machines. Extreme measures have included closing schools, postponing exams, and urging people to avoid alcohol and exercise.

Several activists and citizens outlined their support for a pro-Syrian refugee resolution at the Takoma Park City Council meeting on Monday night. For their part, councilmembers said that their resolution will go beyond words to action in encouraging refugee settlement and support — but shared little more than that about a resolution they have already been crafting.
The meeting was tinged with sadness about the death of Anita Datar, the Takoma Park public and reproductive health expert and activist who was among 27 victims murdered by terrorists in Mali last week. Mayor Kate Stewart began the meeting with brief comments about the tragedy and a public remembrance this weekend, followed by a moment of silence for her and all victims of terrorism.
Public comment period was dominated by speakers advocating a Syrian refugee resolution. Lois Wessel told the story of a teenage Jewish girl who escaped Nazi Germany with her parents to find a new home in Scattergood, Iowa and then Eureka, Illinois. That teenager was Ms. Wessel's mother, who never forgot the kindness shown to her by those American communities. Ms. Wessel closed by urging that Takoma Park join other cities like New Haven, Connecticut in welcoming new immigrants and
"…offering them what others offered my mother so long ago. This is truly the American and the Takoma Park way."
Thomas Nephew of the Montgomery County Civil Rights Coalition followed. He described the draft resolution developed by MCCRC and Peace Action Montgomery — based on a Chicago City Council resolution of 11/18/15 — as a statement of facts about the city, the refugee crisis, and the U.S. screening process, followed by reaffirming the city's status as a sanctuary city, and urging diplomatic efforts, streamlining the vetting process, and encouraging refugee relocation. He concluded:
I see this as a civil rights issue because of the blatantly xenophobic, Islamophobic rationale for suddenly excluding Syrian refugees; this wouldn't be an issue if, say, a stream of Ukrainian immigrants suddenly materialized. We should be honest with ourselves that this debate about "refugees" is really a debate about some people's discomfort with American Muslims. Such sentiments must not go unchallenged. A pro-refugee resolution would be taking a stand both for fellow human beings across the globe, and for our fellow citizens here at home.
Liana Smith of Jewish Voice for Peace spoke as well, noting that her daughter knows people who have died in Syria, and repeating the request that council take a stand for refugees and against xenophobia and Islamophobia. (Video of some speaker remarks may be available later.)
Comments by nearly all councilmembers after the comment period were encouraging, if circumspect. (Before the meeting, Councilman Tim Male let me know he'd probably recuse himself from the vote next week, because he works at the White House.) The common theme was that Takoma Park City Council seems to be readying itself not just to issue a statement, but to take action as well; the precise form that action will take remains unclear. At any rate, the published agenda for next week's council meeting confirms that a resolution of some kind will come to a vote next Monday.
Whatever form the resolution takes next week, we urge Takoma Park residents and neighbors to join us again next Monday evening to attend and — we hope — applaud a historic vote for really supporting human rights, Takoma Park style.
Here's a Facebook event page to use to invite friends and inform yourself about and discuss the refugee issue and what Takoma Park can and should do about it. See you on the 30th!

Logo Design
The most prominent and most influential brands in the world have logos that have established them and only by merely looking at them we immediately evoke a feeling that we associate with the brand.
A logo is memorable and essential even for those who have never used your company's product because it makes them pay more attention to you and recommend you to their friends who are more suitable for what you have to offer.
It is essential to have a properly designed logo, as it is a critical part of your corporate identity.

It is recommended that you start dialysis before you start to have any severe symptoms or complications of kidney disease. Your nephrologists will advise you.Can the need for dialysis be delayed?
If someone with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has not yet developed End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF), it may sometimes be possible to delay the need for dialysis by controlling blood pressure, eating a special diet and taking medication prescribed by your doctor.Will dialysis or a transplant solve the problem?
Neither dialysis or kidney transplant can cure a problem with Chronic Kidney Disease however treatments are very effective at making symptoms better and prolonging your life.Where is dialysis performed?
Dialysis can be performed either at home or at the hospital. At home you can choose between haemodialysis (HD), or peritoneal dialysis (PD). HD treatment in hospital takes place 3 times a week.Which treatment is the best, Haemodialysis or Peritoneal dialysis?
Both methods are equally effective. Haemodialysis is usually done in three short sessions of 3 to 5 hours each, 3 times a week. PD is a more gentle form of dialysis and needs to be performed every day. It is possible for most patients to experience more than one treatment during their life with kidney disease.What do I need to do to take care of myself?
Learn as much as possible about your treatment. When you understand the benefits of following a special diet, taking medication and having dialysis treatment, you will feel more in control and more confident in adapting to this new lifestyle, particularly when you have been following your treatment routine for a while. It is also important for you to return to as many of your past activities as possible. Getting back into your usual routine will help you to feel that sense of normality again.

Cover letter pointers for brand-new grads
Fire up your post-college work search with a personalized cover letter that reveals your enthusiasm, prospective and also motivation. Right here's just how.
New graduates, you have a great chance of touchdown a job if you launch an aggressive search. A well-crafted cover letter should become part of this proactive technique– specialists say that personalizing your letter can open up doors to new possibilities. Here s how.
Know the company
While distributing the very same cover letter to every company saves time, you won t attract attention from the group of applicants doing the same point.
Research the business, find out about their society as well as organisation demands, as well as speak straight to those needs, says Kim Mohiuddin, certification chair for the National Resume Writers Organization and also president of Movin On Up Resumes, a resume-writing company in San Diego. This personalized method shows that you care around and also are received the chance.
Louise Kursmark, co-author of Cover Letter Magic additionally encourages grads to tailor their letters. Program your excitement as well as attach your understanding, experience and also profession rate of interests to the particular company and task possibility, she states.
Kursmark additionally suggests personalizing not only just what you state in your cover letter, but also whom you send it to. Make an individual link with a person who workings from the company and request for a reference to the employing authority, she claims.
What to Consist of.
You might lack real-world work experience, yet your cover letter could be chock-full of activities that show your capacity to be successful.
These tasks might consist of volunteer work, class projects and after-school activities, along with unique interests such as taking a trip or playing sporting activities, claims Barb Poole, head of state of career-management firm Work with Imaging in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
New graduates could also mention a high Grade Point Average, college leadership placements and seasonal work in their cover letters to stick out, says Betty Williams, a nationally licensed resume author as well as proprietor of BW Custom Resumes.
Williams recommends learning just what skills are essential to the employer, after that showing just how you have actually used those skills.
For example, Williams assisted a graduate in the tourism field that was looking for outdoor leisure course teacher settings. She included the adhering to in her cover letter to highlight the management skills that were essential to the task: My management experience includes functioning as a backpacking journey leader for an on-campus club that collaborated outdoor journeys. I likewise developed as well as carried out ropes programs for neighborhood teams of as much as 100 participants. (See a sample cover letter for a current graduate.).
Be enthusiastic.
Communicating that you re really into the kind of work you re seeking is essential, states Anthony Spadafore, supervisor of Pathfinders, a Washington, DC-based career-consulting company and also coauthor of Now Just what? The Young adult's Guide to Selecting the Perfect Occupation.
Program that you re strolling the walk by how you have currently been doing exactly what you intend to do, he states. If you want to work for a company that constructs Internet site, do you have a profile of Internet site or blog sites that you created for buddies?.
Your interest and inspiration for launching your occupation is a selling factor– this kind of excitement isn t constantly apparent with even more experienced employees. In the cover letter, talk regarding 1 or 2 pertinent instances from your major life choices, long-lasting rate of interests, pastimes as well as interests, with the objective of demonstrating how your predispositions and also perfects are lined up with the company s tasks as well as contributions to the world, Spadafore states.
Cover letter layout.
Your cover letter is not your autobiography– appealed the bottom lines that would intrigue employers, yet maintain the letter short.
Consist of a brief opening paragraph that discusses the specifics of the position you are targeting, followed by four to five bullets mirroring credentials that relate to their demands, Poole claims.
The last paragraph needs to end with a bang– clearly state exactly how you would contribute to the employer s operation, and also confidently request for an interview.
Unsure of your profession goal?
Do some career expedition prior to writing a cover letter. Hiring managers must not have to determine how your abilities fulfill their needs– do that benefit them, Mohiuddin states. If you have even more compared to one feasible direction, write different cover letters for every goal.
As you gain clearness about just what you re proficient at and many desire, you ll be all set to connect from a real, confident room, Spadafore claims.

West Ham are willing to keep the athletics track as a part of their bid for London's 2012 Olympic Stadium, after originally criticising the plans.
The Hammers had previously questioned the organiser's commitment to keep the athletics track after the Games, but now appears to have backtracked.
"We acknowledge the need for the stadium to host world-class athletics and so it should," West Ham vice chairman Karen Brady said. "But it can accommodate football too - and a whole lot more. There has to be a way of achieving that."
West Ham partnered with the Newham Council to outline a plan that would change the original plan of having the venue downsized from 80,000 to 25,000 seats. An Olympic visitor centre and a football museum will also be proposed.

When you are buying your air filter online most important thing to know is Air Filters have two sizes that you need to understand the Nominal size and the Actual Size. Not understanding these numbers often leads to consumers purchasing a filter that does not fit their Furnace or HVAC system. See the complete list of Air Filters by Size Rating and Brand.
Not understanding the Nominal Filter Size is the primary culprit for incorrectly purchased filters.The Nominal Size is the usually the dimensions used to Label the filter. For instance 16x20x1. These dimensions are a rounded value on the filters actual measurements. The actual measurements on this filter may be 15.5x19.5x.75, but that could vary by brand and manufacturer. So in order to make sure you have the correct size filter, especially if you are replacing with a different brand it is important to confirm the actual size on the filter. When purchasing filters on the internet the Nominal size is usually found in the product title.
The actual size as you might have guessed are the actual dimensions of the filter by length, width and thickness. This size is often on the filter right below the Nominal size and is usually labeled as the actual size. When you are buying a filter online the actual size is sometime in the product bullet point or the product description. If your filter does not have actual dimensions on the outside of the filter, you can measure you filter to get the correct dimensions. Some brands have a foam gasket on the outside of the filter, in this case, you will want to make sure you have a compatible actual size and that it also has the foam to ensure a snug fit.
|Example 1
|Example 2
|Nominal Size
|Actual Size
Furnace filters should fit securely but should not have to be forced into position. If you have to force the filter into its slot, then it is probably too big. Forcing an improper filter size in a filter can cause it to buckle, damaging the filter or reducing its ability to function properly. Filters are a smaller than their slot to allow for easy replacement. Some HVAC units may need a filter with dimensions that are unique or uncommon. In these cases, a custom filter needs to be ordered.

This is a note I wrote to a friend:
Below is an interesting and sad take on Buechner's term of teaching at Harvard Divinity School.
He missed community. I also sense that he is blaming it on "pluralism," which I think is a mistake as I believe there can be "unity in diversity; holding us together in loving mystery."
I think he was just a lonely guy and it makes me sad for him at that time in his life. He accuses students of being "dead fish." I think he was a fish out of water.
My experience at Western Theological Seminary (a denominational seminary and not a divinity school) was just the opposite; it was four years filled with community, love and affirmation — perhaps it had more in loco parentis for fledgling clergy just learning to spread their spiritual wings and that was just fine even for those who were 21 to 25 and older chronologically but babes in faith, some might say "lambs before the slaughter."
Perhaps there was too much "sameness" in those years, and I chafed at it a bit, and, of course, was never shy about speaking up, much to the chagrin of faculty, I'm sure. Then later I developed a theology/spirituality of prophet, priest on my own (something to fit my personality), but the nurturing spirit prepared me to go on my own in search and affirmation of community elsewhere — campus ministry, installed ministry, hospice ministry, interim ministry, adjunct teaching in pastoral care and preaching at Western, the RCA, PC(USA), the UCC and finally a sense of being a part of all of it and, yet, none of it anymore and that's okay. I'm content being where I am, on the way as Dorothy Day would say: "All the way to Heaven is heaven, because He said, 'I am the Way.'"
By the way, my wife Chris who just read Buechner's meditation, wondered if he was just talking about himself and not bringing the students in at a place they could relate, say at the place of their "issues." Perhaps his "sharing of secrets" was too threatening for them and he could have drawn them in over something less personal but important, nevertheless, and perhaps, thus giving them the courage to share on a more personal, feeling level. I knew there was a reason I married her.
HARVARD DIVINITY School was proud, and justly so, of what it called its pluralism—feminists, humanists, theists, liberation theologians all pursuing truth together—but the price that pluralism can cost was dramatized one day in a way that I have never forgotten. I had been speaking as candidly and personally as I knew how about my own faith and how I had tried over the years to express it in language. At the same time I had been trying to get the class to respond in kind. For the most part none of them were responding at all but just sitting there taking it in without saying a word. Finally I had to tell them what I thought. I said they reminded me of a lot of dead fish lying on cracked ice in a fish store window with their round blank eyes. There I was, making a fool of myself spilling out to them the secrets of my heart, and there they were, not telling me what they believed about anything beneath the level of their various causes. It was at that point that a black African student got up and spoke. "The reason I do not say anything about what I believe," he said in his stately African English, "is that I'm afraid it will be shot down."
At least for a moment we all saw, I think, that the danger of pluralism is that it becomes factionalism, and that if factions grind their separate axes too vociferously, something mutual, precious, and human is in danger of being drowned out and lost. I had good times as well as bad ones that winter term. I was able to say a few things that some of my students seemed to find valuable, and some of them said things that I value still, but if there was anything like a community to draw strength and comfort from there at Harvard as years before there had been at Union, I for one was not lucky enough to discover it.

Proven approaches to the industry's best monitoring and tuning techniques for Linux servers
If you're responsible for administrating complex machines, you'll really need insights into how they work and some clues about what they might do next! Since the overwhelming majority of server workloads in use today are running on Linux, it is important to know how to read all the performance data they produce.
In this course, you'll learn best practices for configuring and managing system resources such as CPU, memory, storage, and network connectivity on behalf of your running applications. You'll get your hands on tried-and-tested optimization performance-tuning tools and techniques such as disk input and output operations on Linux and checking statistics using vmstat. You'll also use monitoring tools such as Munin, nmon, and nagios then master power management tools for better performance on your Linux server. You'll find the necessary owner permissions and implement process management. Finally, you'll learn how to intelligently consume the dataflow that your servers are constantly generating.
By the end of the course, you will be able to give your server a good makeover and optimize process and application performance on Linux systems in a way that will help you improve and make your infrastructure foolproof.
- Tracing, profiling, and instrumentation techniques across a wide range of conditions
- Use CPU management tools to run queue and disk operations
- Manage the performance of your Linux server by making use of process management and statistics report tools
- Monitor server improvement by making use of advanced tools such as nagios, Munin, and nmon

Astro A20 Wireless Multiformat Gaming Headset Review
Peter Donnell / 3 years ago
A Closer Look and Performance
The hub is nice and compact, so it'll sit on your desktop or under your TV just fine. It's got a small light on it for when it's powered on, but otherwise, it's unobtrusive.
Around the back, it's as you would expect given the included cables, and there's also a compatibility toggle for PC/PS4 mode.
The Headset
My first impressions of this headset are very promising. The headset isn't heavy, but it does have a nice weight that gives it a premium quality vibe, and it feels really well balanced in your hand… and more importantly, on your head. Out of the box, it comes with some protective film to keep the shiny bits safe, but also a quick button guide sticker that you can remove.
Built-in Controls
As you can see, there are power controls, volume adjustment, and an EQ button. The volume wheel is neat though, as you can toggle its function between game and voice, allowing to you set the levels of each of them individually to suit your needs. Obviously, the master power button is handy too, as you don't want the battery going flat between uses, although it will power off after a bit of inactivity too.
Fold-Up Microphone
The microphone is unfortunately hard-wired, and since I so rarely use one myself I do like to detach it and store it away in the drawer. This is one of the reasons I like the Astro A40. However, all is not lost and there are some perks here. For one, you cannot lose the darn thing this way. It also has an auto-mute function, just fold the microphone up and it'll turn off, which is handy.
Long Boom is Long
The boom is a good size too, so you can easily bend it around and find that perfect speaking position without having to suffer it sticking to the side of your mouth like some cheaper headsets. The quality is OK, nothing innovative, but it has a decent dynamic range, and doesn't pick up too much wind or background noise. I'd say it's better than the A10 but not as good as the A40/50 microphones, but that's hardly a surprise.
Size Adjustable
The headband design is interesting, it's not as rigid a design as the A10, but borrows the A40 design of the easy sliding sidebars to adjust the fit. There's a big range to it too, so it'll easily fit younger gamers as well as adults. The cables pass through the headband internally, but it's exposed on the sides, with a blue flat cable that looks pretty cool.
Adjustable Ear Cups
The drivers are mounted into a square-ish frame, with a small pivot about 1/3 from the top. This allows a little bit of wiggle room for the driver to provide a more comfortable fit around your ears. At the base of the driver, there's a tiny bit of ventilation too, allowing for a semi-open driver sound. This means you can hear a little of your surroundings and gives the drivers a bit of a brighter sound overall.
The padding on the ear cups is super soft, and Astro have always had some of the most comfortable foam and fabric anyway, so it's nice to see that tradition is upheld here. You can comfortably wear this headset all night without getting a sore head or sweaty ears, and that's obviously a good thing.
Powerful Drivers
Astro is well known for their high-performance drivers, and the A20 Wireless don't let the team down. They're very powerful and pack plenty of punch to keep a big smile on your face. It doesn't matter if you're playing music, movies, or just gaming. They're powerful and clear enough to enjoy whatever you throw at them. However, it gets way more involved from there. With the built-in EQ modes, you can boost the bass, treble, or everything with a single button press. The pre-installed presets are all fantastic; I found myself using all of them based on what I was doing.
Let's Go Deeper
Don't like the pre-installed profiles? The Command Center software allows you to change absolutely every aspect of the EQ. You can then save these settings to the headset profiles to use as you see fit. Push midranges up a little, scoop the higher end, and this headset really comes to life. Obviously, sound can be subjective, so play around with the EQ a bit for yourself. The headset handles extensive tinkering with the sound really well.

Mark 10:17-21
He was setting out on a journey when a man ran up, knelt before him and put this question to him, 'Good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?' Jesus said to him, 'Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not give false witness; You shall not defraud; honor your father and mother.' And he said to him, 'Master, I have kept all these since my earliest days.' Jesus looked steadily at him and he was filled with love for him, and he said, 'You need to do one thing more. Go and sell what you own and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.'
Some days are designed to alter your consciousness. This is what Sabbath is to be, a day to re-enter your right mind so you might dwell there through the week. Autumn days, too, seem intended for this change of mind.
We travel streets of fading color, reminded that the beauty we are and see does not last forever. It beckons the eye to linger, to take in the best show in town that comes for free.
While it carries the melancholy awareness that summer ends and we do, too, it speaks a deeper truth.
The beauty that surrounds us, the beauty we each are, is given. Life and color comes without our asking as the first and original blessing of the One who loves to bless.
Autumn days and Sabbath time bring awareness that we do nothing to gain life's goodness. We can only receive with gratitude from the One whose goodness is spoken in every leaf on every tree and in every breath we take.
Awareness of the towering goodness of the One who is all good, and the good in all, arises with each conscious breath. It comes in each moment of awareness that we are surrounded by splendor we did not make.
Each conscious breath: Jesus calls us from sleep to consciousness awareness that there is One who is good and who is giver of life. Look at that One. Look for that One. Feel that One in every … single … breath. Touch that One every moment that love and beauty touches you.
Be amazed that you are alive and your skin can feel the brisk bite of autumn days. Hear the whisper of the breeze. It awakens awareness of the love of the One who is good. Breathe it in until it fills your lungs with life and your soul with happiness.
Awakened souls know: You do nothing to inherit life, and you do nothing to inherit the treasure of heaven. All is gift from the One who is good.
Look and pray to see the wonder of it all.
Pr. David L. Miller

Stone is one of the oldest building materials, and its conservation ranks as one of the most challenging in the field. The use of alkoxysilanes in the conservation of stone can be traced as far back as 1861, when A. W. von Hoffman suggested their use for the deteriorating limestone on the Houses of Parliament in London. Alkoxysilane-based formulations have since become the material of choice for the consolidation of stone outdoors. This volume, the first to cover comprehensively alkoxysilanes in stone consolidation, synthesizes the subject's vast and extensive literature, which ranges from production of alkoxysilanes in the nineteenth century to the extensive contributions from sol-gel science in the 1980s and 90s. Included are a historical overview, an annotated bibliography, and discussions of the following topics: the chemistry and physics of alkoxysilanes and their gels; the influence of stone type; commercial and non-commercial formulations; practice; lab and field evaluation of service life; and recent developments. This book is designed for conservators, scientists, and preservation architects in the field of stone conservation and will also serve as an indispensable introduction to the subject for students of art conservation and historic preservation.

More from the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees meeting, courtesy of Fox 16's David Goins on Twitter:
The trustees split sharply, but voted 5-4 for the slate of tuition increases for UA campuses as reduced earlier by a board committee. That panel recommended, for example, a 3.5 percent rise for UALR, rather than the 4.9 percent that had been requested.
The Arkansas State University Board of Trustees also approved similar tuition increases today: 3.3 percent at Jonesboro, 3.5 percent at Beebe, 1.2 percent at Mountain Home and 2.3 percent at Newport.

The focus of NCETM work on teaching for mastery has been aimed at Primary / Secondary age phases. This has led to schools and practitioners questioning what a teaching for mastery approach might mean for younger children and how to adapt the current curriculum to support effective transition from Reception to Year 1. There is currently a tension between the ELG and Yr 1 expectations that may lead to younger children accelerating through mathematical concepts as opposed to deepening their thinking.
This workgroup has been developed by Sarah Coltman EY Consultant and Kim Mitchell NCETM Mastery Specialist and Teaching for Mastery Lead at YR Maths Hub. The work undertaken seeks to ensure firm mathematical foundations are developed and embedded ready for Year 1 learning and beyond.
Outline of the Programme
The programme comprises 4 full training days.
Days 1 & 2 to be held at Harrogate Grammar School on Friday 14th June and Friday 12th July will focus on:
- Development of specialist EY specific mathematical subject knowledge
- Development of knowledge and understanding of early number sense and supporting pedagogy
Days 3 & 4 are North Star local networks to be held at Boroughbridge Primary School (dates TBC) and will focus on:
- Development of practice in the classroom. We will take a close look at the maths provision in an EY setting and carry out lesson study following a short teaching session.
- Work on gap task in own setting

Unknown Unknowns: Windows Server 2012 Power Saving
So, you've got your brand new Windows Server 2012 configured, you've got all your power saving methods switched off through the UI, and all the BIOS power saving features are turned off, powering your new box to the best it can get. There's only one problem; you keep on losing network connectivity! Why is this? We were recently working on a new cluster, and after doing the customary checks to ensure all saving features were switched off I spoke to one of the sys admins to verify that everything had been done. And he showed me one power saving feature on the network cards that is switched on by default, irrespective of all the other power saving features being disabled.

ISA's products and services are organized by technical topic – a selection of technologies, trends, and areas of focus that are relevant to your on-the-job performance:
By Bill Lydon, InTech, Chief Editor
Ecosystem is a hot buzzword in business circles today, and ISA is an ecosystem that automation and control people should exploit to their advantage to advance their careers and the profession. Exploit here is used in a positive way meaning to put to good use, make the most of, capitalize on, and benefit. In nature, an ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting as a system in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air, water, and mineral soil). ISA is an ecosystem of people focused on common goals and visions with a wide range of automation and control backgrounds, experience, expertise, and know-how. ISA provides a broad ecosystem and platform where members can gain information and skills to improve operations, quality, and productivity, which is critical for manufacturers to compete.
The ISA ecosystem of automation profession members is a culture that helps members increase their knowledge, grow in their careers, and drive positive industry change. Leveraging what they learn, members are in a position to contribute entirely new value to their employers' operations, making them more successful. The ISA ecosystem resources include the ISA.org website, InTech Plus mobile app, InTech magazine, Automation.com, books, standards, technical papers, webinars, ISA Interchange, training, and events. The most important part of the ISA ecosystem is ISA members who have a wealth of knowledge and experience.
ISA conferences and symposiums are a great example of bringing people together around subject-matter topics that create focused ecosystems. ISA conferences and symposiums include ISA Analysis Division Symposium (AD), Foundations of Alarm Management, ISA LDAR Fugitive Emissions Symposium, International Instrumentation Symposium (IIS), ISA POWID-EPRI Symposium, and ISA Water/Wastewater and Automatic Controls Symposium.
Symposiums and other events have great content value, but the interactions among people who share the same interests, challenges, and problems also provide a wealth of knowledge. I believe there is great value at these events where people interact formally and informally in conversations, creating lasting connections and, in many cases, long-term friendships. In Judith E. Glaser's book, Conversational Intelligence, she talks about how conversations actually rewire our DNA and brain chemistry for mutual success. Over the years, these personal connections from events become your own specialized ecosystem of people with common interests and a wealth of knowledge. In my experience, asking people in my ecosystem for ideas and thoughts proved invaluable for solving automation control problems and improving operations. Today, it is much easier to continually stay in touch and share with people you have met using email and the ISA LinkedIn Group with more than 45,000 members.
The automation industry is faced with rapid change and challenges, and the diversity of ISA members throughout industry is a great resource of experience, ideas, and know-how to deal with rapid changes in the automation industry.
Whether you are a young person just entering the workforce, new to the industry, or an experienced veteran, the ISA ecosystem can help you navigate industrial automation challenges and new technology.
The broader ecosystem outside of your organization is important for protecting against the dangers of people in a company becoming inwardly focused and not changing with the times. Companies that are completely inwardly focused run the risk of missing new opportunities for improvements and being blind to changes in the external reality.

**WARNING: The following is a link with detailed information about how a man planned and executed his own death. Also, the link may not work because network administrators have been shutting it down.**
Sportswriter Martin Manley meticulously planned and blogged about his suicide. Manley spent the last year of his life blogging about his life and how and why he planned to commit suicide. On the morning of his death he paid for 5 years worth of Yahoo web-hosting services, published his site, and then ended his life. Yahoo quickly shut down the site, citing it violated the terms of service. Within hours, hacker group Anonymous had republished the site. Yahoo! has not confirmed whether or not they will refund the 5 year payment to Manley's family. His family has appealed Yahoo's decision and Yahoo! has stood by their decision.
This is an interesting ethical conundrum. The obvious, is Yahoo! not wanting to be associated with or accused of advocating suicide. The second is money–should Manley's family be reimbursed the amount he paid for the web hosting service? Then there is Martin Manley's side of the story. He made a very detailed website about his life and his decision so his friends and family would have closure, and a place to go and remember him. A trip to a digital cemetery, so to speak. Do they not deserve to have that? Often times deceased loved ones are memorialized on social media. Why not a blog site? Had Manley blogged about his death if he were terminally ill would it be different?

What a bunch of Gangsters! The real Bonnie and Clyde!
Welcome to the Clintons ' $11 Million Dollar Mansion in New York state
Don't forget Bill Clinton's $500,000 speaking fees to countries that benefited by Secretary of State
"Bonnie" Clinton decisions; as well as donations to their HillBilly and Chelsea Foundation
Disgusting, isn't It ?
HillaryRodham Clinton, as a New York State
Senator now comes under this fancy
"congressional retirement staffing plan" which
means that if she never gets re‑elected, she STILL
receives her Congressional salary until she dies.
If Bill out-lives her, he then inherits HER salary
until he dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary ($20,000 a month) until he dies. If Hillary
out-lives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies!! Guess who pays for that?? WE DO!
Clinton's 20 Acre – $11 million mansion is common knowledge. For her to establish NY residency, they purchased this mansion in upscale Chappaqua,
New York. Makes sense, right?
They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense.
Here is where it becomes interesting. Their
mortgage payments are around $10,000/mo.
But an extra residence had to be built by the government on their acreage to house
the Secret Service Agents. Any improvement to the property
is owned by the property owners…the Clinton's. So….the Clinton's charge the federal
government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of the extra
residence to house the Secret Service staff which
is just about equal to their mortgage payment.
He is the ONLY ex-president to use this loophole,
thus earning the name 'Slick Willie'.
This means that we, the taxpayers, pay the
Clinton's, salary, mortgage, transportation,
safety and security as well as the salaries for
their 12 man staff and it is all perfectly legal.
And here we are trying to make ends meet and we have to cough up to support thievery such as this!!
More every day I believe that if it is POLITICS,it is crooked in one fashion or another!!
Oh, don't forget Bill Clinton's $500,000 speaking fees to countries that benefited by Secretary of State
" Bonnie" Clinton decisions; as well as donations to their HillBilly and Chelsea Foundation.
If she runs for President, will you vote for her?
One question:Could Obama be divulging her crimes because he is jealous that the HillBilly's
are able to steal more than his cabal of Chicago Thugs?.
Send this to everyone so they will know the truth of What BROKE is!

Olesya Telizhenko was born 1984 into an artistic family in Cherkasy, Ukraine.
A graduate of the National Academy of Arts, Olesya since become known as an "ethno-modern designer," which is evidenced by her most recent collection that she presented at Lviv Fashion Week (20-23 May).
"Wild Space" is a collection that boldly mixes natural materials and textures—all decorated with hand-stitched embroidery.
Each garment rides us across the sun-scorched grass of the Cossack Steppe, from the grey morning fog to the starry black nights.
Chocolate, grey, blue, and black undergird the color palette. This 2016 autumn/winter collection draws particular attention to the Ukrainian male.

Almost 200 people took part in Winchester's first ever Starlit Trail organised by Wessex Cancer Trust and are well on their way to raising £15,000 to help local families with cancer.
Winchester MP and former cancer minister, Steve Brine, welcomed walkers to the Guildhall and spoke about why it is so important to support those living with cancer and how the power of community can change lives, before Mayor of Winchester, Cllr Eleanor Bell, greeted them at the start line and sent them on their way via a starlit curtain held aloft by stilt walkers.
As night descended and the stars shone over the City, walkers took a 5km route through the historic streets, enjoying entertainment along the way including a wishing tree, stilt walkers, trapeze act, dance act, hula hoopers, a harpist and choir.
Mary Mould, who walked with her two daughters and close friend, said it was a poignant evening:
"Last year we lost a very special person to us all and we wanted to do something to help raise money and awareness for this charity. Cancer affects so many of us, and so it's easy to relate to why it's important to support anyone who has to live with it. It was a wonderful event, a proper starlit evening with some lovely surprises along the way! We all thoroughly enjoyed it."
Trethowans Solicitors in Southgate Street was the lead sponsor for the event.
Wessex Cancer Trust's next event is a Christmas celebration at Turner Sims concert hall on Wednesday 4th December at 7.30pm. Find out more at https://www.turnersims.co.uk/events/wct-christmas-celebration/.
Wessex Cancer Trust provides free and local support to anyone living with cancer at its five support centres in Hampshire, Dorset and Isle of Wight.

One minute guide.
This phrase describes how many buyers would like to source goods. They would like the exporter to ship first, allowing the buyer to pay later.
But this can be problematic for many reasons:
By shipping first, the exporter has the credit risk of the buyer who may not pay
The exporter has already incurred costs and has to fund these whilst waiting for payment
The exporter's local bank may have a pledge over the goods which he is reluctant to release before the buyer's payment comes.
PrimaDollar's trade finance allows supply chains to work on a "ship now, pay later" basis.
Using our supports, exporters have been able to:
Win bigger orders
Gain better margins
Avoid taking buyer credit risk
Keep their local bankers happy
Avoid breaching foreign exchange controls
Buyers working with PrimaDollar have been able to support their supply chain at a low cost without using bank lines or compromising on their covenant compliance.
A buyer who gets credit is able to manage his cash flow better.
This means that the buyer can commit to larger orders straightaway because he has more liquidity, and is not limited in his order volumes by working capital, banking lines and financial covenants. Better margins arise because orders are larger, reducing the unit costs of production and logistics.
Everyone wins from this process.
There are different phases in most supply chains running from purchase order to the date when goods are fully sold. Here is a simplified example from the garment industry:
Day zero: purchase order, raw materials purchased
Day 90: goods are made and loaded on the boat
Day 120: cross-docking completed and goods are in the shops for sale at full price
Day 150: first discount process to shift stock
Day 180: goods sold out after final discount
Someone has to fund this process from day zero to day 180, with the total amount of finance required increasing over time as goods reach the shops and then declining as goods are sold.
The different parties involved in the supply chain have different access to finance, and different costs of money. Partly this is driven by risk allocation between the parties and any financier involved, and partly by the financial standing of the parties themselves.
There is no free lunch. All the financing costs in the supply chain are paid for in the price of the goods.
The answer varies from buyer to buyer, industry to industry, supply chain to supply chain.
But it is possible to identify an optimum financing model for each situation, which may also change from season to season and from year to year. The PrimaDollar team has the ability to assist with this analysis.
The three main factors are:
the marginal borrowing cost of the buyer and the exporter.
the opportunity costs of using credit lines to support the supply chain.
the presentational and accounting benefits that can flow from how and where the supply chain is financed
This last point is important, especially to buyers. Free operating cash flow is a driver of equity valuation and trade finance, intelligently deployed, can help buyers to manage the presentation of their business.
Trade finance should usually be part of the optimum supply chain finance solution.
Many exporters have fully pledged their collateral and have limited ability for additional borrowing. This means they cannot easily provide buyer credit.
At the same time, many buyers are motivated to preserve banking lines and show positive operating cash flow to boost shareholder value.
On the buyer side, these are not completely economic questions - but judgments - and can lead buyers to consider requiring their exporters to use export finance even if it is marginally more expensive than their own borrowing costs.
Moreover, the optimum model can change from time to time - and PrimaDollar trade finance can be stepped into and out of supply chains as needed without commitment costs and facility fees.
