I learned a lot this afternoon from simply asking library staff if I could take some photos in the library. First of all, that no one whom I initially asked knew the answer to my question suggests that not many people take photos in the library, for whatever reason, for which reason the staff did not know whether or not I could take photos. Second, that the more I asked around, the more my question crept quietly up the chain of command, until at length the director of the library was asked, when she walked onto the premises after lunch, suggests that there is a centralized command in the library; in that regard, this institution is not organized in a similar manner to the way by which HKU is organized. Finally, that nobody knew the answer but rather than assume authority deferred to the director's discretion suggests that there are very few change agents, if any at all, in this institution. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, however, because this organization likely doesn't have to deal with major change at the moment: the best course of action is plodding straight ahead.
Likewise, no one whom I asked knew about the library's renovation cost and the cost of being a donor; but these staff members did point me to someone else who could possibly answer my question!
The lights were off in the men's washroom. It seems as if the washroom isn't used much. Inside the washroom, I noticed the automated sinks, urinals and paper towel dispenser -- that reminded me much of Hong Kong and South Korea; automation has arrived in America! In addition, I enjoyed the hot water flowing from the sinks. That was a pleasant surprise.
What impresses me the most about this library is the seating variety. There are not only many different types of seating furniture, but also many different environments in which these seats are placed: by windows; inside rooms; in seating areas; in corners. In addition, just as there were many different types of furniture looks, so there were, in fact, more broadly, many different, conspicuous areas in the library. They were clearly labeled to boot. In this way, this library shares its best feature with the City University of Hong Kong library: such a variety of learning spaces that surely one would find at least one type conducive toward studying. In this instance, I liked to study at the rectangular table in the cafe area. Many libraries, including the HKU library, could certainly improve its learning space by following the diversity model adopted by both the CityU library and the Livingston library.
What also makes this library conducive toward studying is its underuse. One could find a seat anywhere in the library: no squatting, thankfully. The shelves also seem underutilized. While on an individual basis, this surplus in seating is a boon, this surplus is lamentable for the community since it obviously isn't taking full advantage of this invaluable learning space!
I gushed about the effectiveness of the library's learning space to the staff. Perhaps they were amused that such a mundane environment to them could be so special to me.

Samples are moved from the autosampler tray to the test position using a suction transfer system. This system is highly tolerant of non-ideal sample geometries, so uncured rubber from many sources can be used. Samples are loaded on a carousel and more specimens may be added while another test is in progress, allowing for uninterrupted productivity.

This is a very basic example of a process flowchart that could be followed with Advanced Marketing Automation. The key difference between lead nurturing via preset email, and Advanced Marketing Automation is that Marketing Automation happens as the result of a leads actions. Different actions can trigger different events, since this happens in real-time it allows you to present opportunities while your lead is using your website or a social media site.
Robotic process automation (RPA)— commonly used to automate organized, back office programmed process tasks—turns out to be the opening plan in many organizations’ for digital transformation methods.
I had never happened upon a w-c with this much automation. Ok, I am easily impressed but as I often say, I like to think of it as having retained my capacity for wonderment.
Mrs. J. William Clark House, 49 East 68th Street, Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States.
This house adjoins and may be considered a part of that outstanding group of neo-Federal townhouses which extends along the west side of Park Avenue, between East 68th and 69th Streets. The houses on Park Avenue are sometimes referred to as the "Pyne-Davison Blockfront" due to their uniform architectural quality.
It was designed by the architectural firm of Trowbridge & Livingston and was built in 1913-14. The height of its first story base, the belt course between the third and fourth floors and the roof cornice are set at approximately the same level as those of the corner house, No. 680 Park Avenue.
Only two bays wide, No. 49 East 68th Street Is given interest and importance by a twin-arched loggia at street level. This is made possible by having the wall of the first floor set back about six feet from the building line. The arch on the right leads to the arched entrance doorway, while that on the left leads directly to the basement stairs protected by a low iron railing and gate. An arched window is set above the basement entrance door.
The second-story windows were originally muntined casements extending to the floor. These and all the other windows facing the street were replaced with single fixed sheets of plate glass, when the entire structure was air-conditioned, however, the two second-story windows have retained their thin vertical limestone reveals at the windows. The second floor lintels consist of delicate projecting cornices supported on console brackets.
The third story windows have paneled stone lintels, while a limestone horizontal belt course separates the third and fourth floors and serves as a sill for the fourth floor windows. A simple limestone roof cornice crowns the brickwork of the facade, which is laid up in English bond. The copper covered gambrel roof above is pierced by two Pedimented dormer windows.
This house was built as a residence for J. William Clark, a grandson of the Patrick Clark who invented the form of cotton sewing thread, that was first produced in Paisley, Scotland in 1812. Clark's sewing thread was introduced to America in 1818, but, during the Civil War, when importing became difficult, William Clark and his brother opened a thread mill in Newark, New Jersey, where a 6-cord thread, trademarked "O.N.T." (Our New Thread), was perfected and became famous. Today this building is known as "Automation House".

Automation is stripping away jobs from entire industries in the United States -- and the pace of job loss is accelerating. Whole segments of the population are forced to work harder, for less money. Our education has been stagnating for centuries, leaders like Alibaba CEO Jack Ma argue that we are heading for disaster if we continue to train students to compete with machines. Employers, and our society needs to train individuals for the new world of work, where automation will rule.
It’s natural to look to technology to spark a massive change in the way we educate our citizens. It has not just disrupted, but completely remade entire industries in the last decade. Traditional retail, manufacturing, transportation, media and even hospitality companies are all facing deep reshaping brought about by advances in software by companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Lyft and others. Even though the internet has put the sum of human knowledge in our pockets, it has so far failed to disrupt, much less solve, the education puzzle. Yet, savvy employers are now increasingly looking to hire individuals with the skills to do the job day 1 and the ability to learn new skills rapidly and on their own.
The European Data of Tomorrow Conference was both an educating and inspiring event about information,
data and all its relevant, innovative and value-adding aspects.
