When life gets challenging, we turn to simple pleasures and age-old traditions to help us manage. Bread Therapy is a love letter to the art of making real bread.

Erica Davies' really useful style guide ditches archaic fashion rules and helps women to reignite their love of clothes.

Our massive, global system of consumption is broken. Our individual relationship with our stuff is broken. In each of our homes, some stuff is broken. And the strain of rampant consumerism and manufacturing is breaking our planet. We need big, systemic changes, from public policy to global economic systems. But we don't need to wait for them.Since founding Fixup, a pop-up repair shop that brought her coverage in The New York Times, Salon, New York Public Radio, and more, Sandra Goldmark has become a leader in the movement to demand better "e;stuff.” She doesn't just want to help us clear clutter-she aims to move us away from throwaway culture, to teach us to reuse and repurpose more thoughtfully, and to urge companies to produce better stuff. Although her goal is ambitious, the solution to getting there is surprisingly simple and involves all of us: have good stuff, not too much, mostly reclaimed, care for it, and pass it on.Fixation charts the path to the next frontier in the health, wellness, and environmental movements-learning how to value stewardship over waste. We can choose quality items designed for a long lifecycle, commit to repairing them when they break, and shift our perspective on reuse and "e;preowned” goods. Together, we can demand that companies get on board. Goldmark shares examples of forward-thinking companies that are thriving by conducting their businesses sustainably and responsibly.Passionate, wise, and practical, Fixation offers us a new understanding of stuff by building a value chain where good design, reuse, and repair are the status quo.

"The world runs on social media--and so should your business. While over 54 percent of users make purchasing decisions using social media, only 49 percent of companies have a documented social media strategy. Your business can't afford to be left behind."--Page 4 of cover.

The story of the people who see beyond the stars...

A searing critique of our contemporary policy agenda, and a call to implement radical change.

A succinct but complete guide to Schopenhauer's metaphysics that renders it coherent and intuitively compelling.

The first book that examines India's mega-publicity campaigns to theorize the global transformation of the nation-state into an attractive investment destination.The early twenty-first century was an optimistic moment of global futures-making. The chief narrative was the emergence of the BRICS nations-leading stars in the great spectacle of capitalist growth stories, branded afresh as resource-rich hubs of untapped talent and potential, and newly opened up for foreign investments. The old third-world nations were rapidly embracing the script of unbridled capitalism in the hope of arriving on the world stage. If the tantalizing promise of economic growth invited entrepreneurs to invest in the nation's exciting futures, it offered utopian visions of "e;good times,"e; and even restoration of lost national glory, to the nation's citizens. Brand New Nation reaches into the past and, inevitably, the future of this phenomenon as well as the fundamental shifts it has wrought in our understanding of the nation-state. It reveals the on-the-ground experience of the relentless transformation of the nation-state into an "e;attractive investment destination"e; for global capital.As Ravinder Kaur provocatively argues, the brand new nation is not a mere nineteenth century re-run. It has come alive as a unified enclosure of capitalist growth and nationalist desire in the twenty-first century. Today, to be deemed an attractive nation-brand in the global economy is to be affirmed as a proper nation. The infusion of capital not only rejuvenates the nation; it also produces investment-fueled nationalism, a populist energy that can be turned into a powerful instrument of coercion. Grounded in the history of modern India, the book reveals the close kinship among identity economy and identity politics, publicity and populism, and violence and economic growth rapidly rearranging the liberal political order the world over.

Denne bog giver en introduktion til Struktureret Tekst (ST)der benyttes i Programmerbare Logiske Controllere (PLC) Denne 3. udgave er opdateret og udvidet med mange af de forslag og spørgsmål som læserne og de studerende er kommet med, herunder ønsket om mange flere illustrationer og programeksempler.INDHOLD- Baggrund, fordele og udfordringer ved ST-programmering - Syntaks, datatyper, bedst praksis og grundlæggende ST-programmering - IF-THEN-ELSE, CASE, FOR, CTU, TON, STRUCT, ENUM, ARRAY, STRING- Guide og tips til navngivning, fejlfinding, opgaver, test og programstruktur- Sekvensprogrammering og opdeling i funktioner og funktionsblokke- FIFO, RND, sortering, skalering, simuleringssignaler og digitalt filter- Tankstyring, instrument puls tæller, puls-pause, adaptiv pumpe algoritme- PLC-kode til pumpestationer, 3D parkeringshus, vaskehal og robotstyring- Eksempler: Kom fra LADDER over til ST-programmering Bogen indeholder mere end 150 PLC kodeeksempler i farver og der er fokus på at læseren lærer at skrive robust, læsbar, og struktureret kode.Bogen går systematisk frem med beskrivelse af de grundlæggende ST-begreber og programmering, herunder tips, og med inddragelse af forfatterens 25 års praktiske erfaring.Der er mange steder uddybende forklaringer til PLC-koden og der er fokus på at læseren lærer at skrive robust, læsbar, struktureret og overskuelig PLC-kode. Desuden fokuseres på at kunne skrive PLC-kode, som ikke kræver en bestemt PLC-type og PLC-kode der kan genbruges, samt PLC-løsninger, der kan benyttes internationalt.Grundlaget for bogen er et materiale, som er udarbejdet løbende med feedback fra undervisere og studerende på automationsteknolog-uddannelsen hos Erhvervs-akademi Dania. Materialet er således løbende opdateret, så det giver svar på de spørgsmål og udfordringer, de studerende typisk har gennem deres studie.ST-programmering til PLC-styringer er fra omkring år 2010 begyndt at blive mere udbredt i Danmark, og siden år 2015 er mange virksomheder i Danmark begyndt udelukkende at levere PLC-styringer, hvor der benyttes ST som det foretrukne programmeringssprog. Dette kræver at flere medarbejdere kan ST og det er et af argumenterne, for at udgive denne bog.Bogen er primært udarbejdet til brug på den videregående fuldtidsuddannelse Automationsteknolog og deltidsuddannelsen Automation og Drift.

This book explains data quality management in practical terms, focusing on three key areas - the nature of data in enterprises, the purpose and scope of data quality management, and implementing a data quality management system, in line with ISO 8000-61.
