  Pollinators are among the most vital creatures on Earth, playing a crucial role in the health of ecosystems, food production, and biodiversity. Bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators help fertilize plants by transferring pollen, enabling plants to reproduce and produce fruit. Without these remarkable creatures, the world would face a drastic decline in the availability of many foods and flowers, not to mention the overall environmental balance. As pollinators continue to face mounting challenges from habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change, the need to support and protect them has never been more urgent. 
  Pollinator gardens provide a practical and rewarding solution to this pressing issue. By cultivating spaces specifically designed to attract and support bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators, gardeners can contribute to the conservation of these essential species. A well-designed pollinator garden doesn’t only benefit the creatures that visit it; it can also enrich the garden itself. These spaces foster a vibrant, diverse environment that promotes soil health, provides a haven for wildlife, and offers an aesthetically pleasing landscape that changes with the seasons. 
  This book is a guide to creating and maintaining pollinator gardens that provide much-needed resources for these important creatures. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced gardener, you’ll find practical tips on choosing the right plants, designing your garden, and understanding the specific needs of different pollinators. We will explore the different types of pollinators—bees, butterflies, birds, and other creatures—and provide insights into

  About the Class  
  This 6.5hr course will provide the piping designer and engineer with the broad, but specific information they need to perform their job more efficiently and effectively. It will provide a better understanding of regulatory compliance, system ratings, and leak testing requirements. The attendee will gain the information they need in order to better understand pipe specifications, the piping design process, and its various elements in the preparation and execution of a project. 
  The course will be delivered in three sessions. Each session will be divided further into subject matter parts, providing somewhat convenient increments for a momentary pause or a lengthy break. 
  What will you learn in this course?Session 1 sets the stage by introducing the student to the history of codes and standards, how to interpret codes, and learning how they are developed what is done to avoid conflicting rules between codes.Session 2 steps through the ASME B31.3 Process Piping code chapter by a chapter explaining key points of each chapter. It then touches on code boundaries and project planning.Session 3 pulls it all together to step the student through developing pipe material specifications, selecting flange ratings, various design elements, welding, fabrication, examination, inspection, testing, installation, leak testing, and turnover documentation.

  In a world where technology is advancing at an astounding rate, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) are leading the way in bringing about previously unheard-of changes to almost every aspect of our lives. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become ingrained in modern life, from smart homes anticipating our needs to modern medical diagnostics, demonstrating its indispensable role as a partner in human progress rather than merely an aid. 
  With its title, "Artificial Intelligence: Harnessing the Power of Machine Learning and Deep Learning," the e-book seeks to serve as your introduction to this fascinating and ever-evolving world, where the limits of human capabilities are continually being pushed to the limit. Whether you are an experienced practitioner looking to expand your knowledge or a curious mind exploring this field for the first time, this thorough guide aims to provide insightful information. 
  We will go on an insightful journey together in the upcoming chapters as we examine the complex web of ideas, advancements, and technologies that make up the field of artificial intelligence. We will discuss the algorithms that enable machines to learn from and forecast data as we delve deeply into machine learning principles. As we continue, we will delve deeper and deeper into the fascinating field of deep learning, a subset of machine learning that is described by neural networks that can remarkably mimic the functioning of the human brain.

  Wild Waters - The Magic of...

  'I often sit by the bank of the small river that flows through our farm in County Wicklow, fascinated by its many moods ... Getting to know a river is like reading the story of a person's life ...  from its young energetic stages in the hills to the slower-moving mature river, through to the tranquil water of lakes and finally to its resting place in the sea.'
  Richard Nairn is an ecologist who has been visiting waterways around Ireland for over half a century, fascinated by how they sustain and enrich our lives. Here he sets out on a year-long adventure to explore every stretch and tributary of the Avonmore River, which runs through Co. Wicklow. From source to sea, he immerses himself in the wildlife, archaeology, history and people connected to the river. Travelling to explore more of Ireland's rivers, lakes, wet woodlands, ponds and canals, Richard details encounters with dragonflies, crayfish, otters and great flocks of migratory waterbirds, and finds himself awestruck by the sense of a lost wilderness they convey.
  With our waterways now under serious threat, this is a love letter to Ireland's rivers and lakes, and a reminder of what we stand to lose.
  'Opens the window into a watery world. Personal yet panoramic.' Colin Stafford-Johnson, filmmaker.
