The flow of terrestrial groundwater to the sea is an important natural component of the hydrological cycle. This process, however, does not explain the large volumes of low-salinity groundwater that are found below continental shelves. There is mounting evidence for the global occurrence of offshore fresh and brackish groundwater reserves. The potential use of these non-renewable reserves as a freshwater resource provides a clear incentive for future research. But the scope for continental shelf hydrogeology is broader and we envisage that it can contribute to the advancement of other scientific disciplines, in particular sedimentology and marine geochemistry.

Roman Reigns' announcement that he had leukemia 11 years ago was something the WWE Universe never saw coming. He relinquished the WWE Universal Title and then took off to go back home to focus on his health.
As we previously reported, Roman is currently undergoing treatments to beat leukemia again. Paige is GM on SmackDown Live, but Reigns' announcement sent shockwaves through the entire company. She spoke to Planeta Wrestling recently where she revealed how everyone is pulling for The Big Dog.
We can't wait for Roman to make his return either. Hopefully, he will be able to pick up where he left off and continue his journey as a WWE Superstar without any more setbacks. But until he comes back, he has a ton of support everywhere he looks which has to help as well.

Dirty Down There: The Selling of "Feminine" Products by Lu Bailey
Dirty Down There: The Selling of "Feminine" Products
by Lu Bailey
Several years ago, I attended a workshop about the history of douching. The topic was very intriguing to me. In fact, the young lady who presented the workshop used part of her dissertation as the foundation for her presentation.
She mentioned that she was given a full scholarship to research women and douching. I didn't know what to expect. Would our presenter ask the crowd if we douched today? Would she show those terrible feminine hygiene commercials (where women are cowering in a corner with a hoodie on because they stink) and ask us to respond?
She did none of those things. She simply directed our attention to a table where she displayed a bottle of Lysol, bleach and a pop bottle. She asked if we knew what these items had in common. We didn't. She told us that all three items have been used to help eliminate feminine odor.
The presenter showed us magazine ads from the 1940s and 1950s, portraying a women cleaning the house with Lysol and a suggestive tag line that read ... "Lysol can clean the house and other important things, too." Another Lysol ad asked: "Why Does She Spend Evenings Alone?" A smelly vagina, no doubt.
We also learned that some women mixed a small portion of bleach with water for their douching purposes. And, women in Latin America mixed cleaning products with water, poured them into a pop bottle, shook it up, and then sat on top of the bottle for the full effect of douching to achieve vaginal cleansing. By this time, everyone in the room was on the edge of their seats.
During the breakout session, we talked about the presentation and most of the women couldn't believe that women used Lysol as a douching product. Is the vagina so smelly that we have to use a product that can strip dirt from a linoleum floor to remove dirt and odor from our vaginal canal?
The world, it seems, is concerned about the "scent of a woman." I've watched those feminine hygiene product commercials with a critical eye. The theme of the commercials are the same: sad looking woman with dingy clothes walking down the street (this huge street) hoping that no one can sniff out her smelly vagina. Actually, the woman in the ad looks more like a crack or crystal meth addict and I'm sure most of the people who pass her on the street are more concerned that she may rob them and not so much about her personal hygiene problem.
And then, of course, a friend tells the woman about a product that can make her vagina smell like flowers or a summer breeze and the woman is made whole again. The next time we see her, she's at an office party doing the electric slide or, even better, riding a mechanical bull. The voice over says ... our product makes you feel like yourself again. Fade to black.
My first gynecologist told me many years ago: "Douching is dangerous because it may actually push bacteria further up inside the vagina, causing an infection. Douching also robs the vagina of necessary (built-in) fluids." She also told me that the vagina is self-cleaning and douching is never necessary for any woman -- it's a choice. After the workshop I attended, I realized douching is a choice that's inflamed by marketing campaigns, focus groups, and the fear that a woman won't get (and keep) a man with a smelly "love box."
There may have been another intent to douching with such strong products. As the Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health notes, "Women also used Lysol as a birth-control device, douching with it to kill sperm."
But there is one thing we women do know for certain ... the financial impact of feminine hygiene products. Cleaning our vaginas is a multi-billion dollar industry. And thanks to pop culture's insistence that a clean, sanitized vagina leads to great sex and a happy marriage, the clean vagina business show no signs of slowing down. In fact, according to a report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. and cited in January 2011 on the San Jose, CA Vocus/PRWEB the global market for feminine hygiene products is expected to reach $14.3 billion by 2015.
Coupled with the revenues generated by feminine products is the environmental impact. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some feminine hygiene products (pads and tampons) still use a byproduct of the bleaching process used to manufacture tampons and pads. This process has been known to release a chemical known as dioxin.
In 2000, writer Gina Kolata at the New York Times reported that some scientists believe that the chemical dioxin is ten times more likely to cause cancer than previously estimated..
In addition, the website Organic Beauty Vixen states: "Feminine hygiene products that are not eco-friendly pose a huge environmental problem. Nearly 13 billion sanitary pads and seven billion tampons get dumped in landfills each year. With non-biodegradable constituents like plastic and dioxin, the materials severely pollute the environment." And, the environmental journal, Emagazine, reports that, according to the Center for Marine Conservation, over 170,000 tampon applicators were collected along U.S. coastal areas between 1998 and 1999.
The truth of the matter is that more independent studies documenting the safety of menstrual products are needed to ensure product safety. Right now, most of the testing is paid for by the feminine products manufacturers themselves and there are very few independent studies, according to The Fertility Sourcebook by M. Sara Rosenthal.
To douche or not to douche seems to be a defining moment for most women. I remember when I was faced with this decision. I also remember the red water bottle (with a white nozzle) that my mom had in the bathroom that hung behind the door. I never really knew why it was there, but it was a fixture in my house. I later learned about my mom's (other) monthly ritual. I never used the water bottle method. My generation used the pre-mix bottle. I tried douching with them a total of six times and realized it wasn't for me. I didn't want to smell like a summer breeze or a midnight oasis. As my grandmother would say ... "If hot water and soap can't get ya clean, you betta go see a doctor."

Data Crunch: Verstappen the new 'Boss' in town
Kevin Melro
His father was universally known as Jos 'The Boss', but Max Verstappen is proving to be the leader of the pack in this year's Formula 1 Championship, completely in control of his rival Lewis Hamilton whos is being relegated to second best.
Below I have assembled "Best Case Race Pace" for the Mexican GP. I have extracted the best lap of each driver for laps between 6-10, 11-15…….65-71. Laps 1-5 have been ignored due to the safety car on the opening lap. I then averaged those times into one single time to compare the delta between the drivers, ultimately representing each driver's race pace lap time relationship.
The Near Miss
It was no secret heading into the 2021 Mexico City GP that it was Red Bull's race to lose. The Austrian outfit has a strong foothold on the competition in Mexico which dates back to when Mercedes were far stronger than they are now. You'd have been crazy to bet against them and why would you? Well, a massive free practice pace advantage for Red Bull evaporated in qualifying which quickly sounded alarm bells from the F1 community and fans alike.
As qualifying concluded, a scramble ensued to find an excuse, with any being plausible: cracked rear wing, 'Tsunoda'ed', track temperatures, soft tyres don't work, Mercedes sand bagging again, not to forget the "Red Bull actually wanted to qualify on the second row" story, but none of them held any water.
Nobody wanted to point out the painfully obvious, Red Bull and Verstappen screwed up. Neither Verstappen nor Sergio Perez were able to connect with a competitive lap in Q3, as Yuki Tsunoda just about connected with Perez on the Mexican's final flying lap.
On Sunday, during Martin Brundle's grid walk, Helmut Marko suggested that perhaps starting from the second row wasn't a bad situation to find themselves in, but history showed otherwise. The Mexican GP as it is known today was added to the calendar in 2015, and until this year, not a single driver has managed to lead the race into Turn 1 from the second row of the grid. The idea that Red Bull would purposely blow qualifying is pure fallacy.
Here's some Mexican GP sprint to Turn 1 history:
2015 – Mercedes' Nico Rosberg leads from pole position
2016 – Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton leads from pole position
2017 – Red Bull's Max Verstappen leads from second on the grid
2019 – Ferrari's Charles Leclerc leads from pole position
A Supreme Drive, Perfect 10
Order was restored on Sunday, as Verstappen made quick work of both Mercedes and sailed away to victory. The young Dutchman put a legendary race start launch together forcing his way to the lead and did something no other driver had yet to do, which was to lead the Mexican GP into Turn 1 without a front row start.
It was a jaw-dropping showcase of extreme skill, blended with determination and immediately juxtaposed to Lewis Hamilton airing a grievance about his brakes over the radio to his engineer. As the race unfolded, it became clear how valuable Verstappen's pass for the lead was, as seen in the Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo race long battle.
The Finn was the pole sitter after all and would have, more or less, had the race pace equivalent to that of Hamilton. With five cars surviving to stay on the lead lap by the end of the race, Hamilton appears as nearly two seconds on average faster than Ricciardo per lap, which paints a brutal picture for Mercedes, that Bottas was stuck behind a car that much slower than his own. Perhaps it's also not such a great look for F1 itself either.
Max managed to put an astounding 0.290s per lap on average between himself and his championship rival throughout the race as Mercedes could formulate no response to the Dutchman's devastating pace.
Verstappen was the quickest car on the circuit 53% of the race, with Red Bull dominating Sunday's race pace for 77% of the race duration, when Perez's efforts are factored in.
At the first pit cycle, Bottas lit up the timing screens with the fastest in-lap of the bunch at 1:24.441 on Lap 40. Perez was second best on the same lap at 1:24.496, Verstappen third on lap 33 with a 1:24.863 and Hamilton slowest of the group despite pitting first on lap 29 at 1:25.054.
All things considered it was an exceptional drive from the Championship leader, surely among his best to date.
Mercedes and Hamilton
If there's any consolation for the seven-time F1 World Champion, it's that the advantage Red Bull had in Mexico should have left him with a third place finish at best. It goes back to the qualifying hiccup where Red Bull left a bit of lemon behind for the Briton to squeeze just enough lemonade and squeak out a second-place finish.
However, in stark contrast, Bottas failing to score points is a far worse scenario for Mercedes to have ultimately found themselves in. Mercedes lead the Constructors' Championship by a single point as an equally difficult race to Mexico lies ahead in Brazil.
Heading to the Brazilian GP this weekend, there is no reason why Red Bull can't lock out the front row in qualifying and go on to deliver a 1-2 finish result in the race. Worse yet for Mercedes, a scenario is beginning to emerge that not only sees Verstappen winning the Drivers' Championship, but it would appear that Mercedes may very well end up losing the Constructors' battle as well.
The unfinished nature of the upcoming Jeddah Corniche Circuit certainly paints the probability of a low grip and slippery surface. The Losail International Circuit resembles Bahrain with a thinner track width, and Red Bull won the last time out in Abu Dhabi. At face value, nothing looks favourable for Mercedes for rest of the way towards this F1 season's conclusion.
There are no guarantees, but who cracks next is anybody's guess. Otherwise, advantage Red Bull.
Horner backtracks on Tsunoda criticism
Hamilton: We must dig deeper than ever and keep fighting

Grieving couple left frightened by Truro stand-off describe nightmare trapped in their flat
Kevin and Sheila Burns were trapped inside their flat for 28 hours and said they were given no information about what was going on

A grieving and frightened couple who were trapped inside their homes for 28 hours during a tense police stand-off on their roof have described living in their own home as a "nightmare".
Kevin and Sheila Burns were unable to leave their ground-floor flat on George Street in Truro for the entire duration of the high-profile incident.
The incident kicked off at 10.15am on Tuesday (October 16) when one of the Burns' neighbours, dressed in cycling gear, climbed on the roof and began throwing heavy tiles. He didn't get down until 2pm the following day.
Already grieving for the sudden and unexpected loss of Sheila's son, in August, the couple were unable to sleep and were left frightened by what was unfolding around them.

"When it started I just saw four policemen go upstairs, and that was it," Kevin, 61, said.
"And then all hell started breaking loose. We could hear shouting, see tiles flying across and the riot police going, 'don't throw that, don't throw this'. One tile hit one of the riot shields.
After 28 hours, the man climbed down the roof and gave himself up
"It was scary. It was so loud. We didn't get any sleep. We stayed in the front room trying to see what was going on out there but I was blinded by the flood lights, a great beam of light coming straight at me. The fire engine was out there all night long."
Kevin and Sheila said the man, who is not being named at this stage, has always been "pleasant and friendly".
Full rundown of tile-throwing man's 28-hour rooftop standoff with police in Truro
"He was quite pleasant and respectable, he kept himself to himself," said 58-year-old Sheila, who is disabled. "He was a nice lad really.
"We've had a Christmas card off him, he's said hello and waved to a few of the neighbours.
Kevin and Sheila burns have been married for eight years
"We've had no problems with him but the last couple of months he's been acting strange. I was worried about him, but what can you do?
"He loved his fitness, walking, cycling. He's been wearing that cycling gear for weeks."
Residents on the first floor were evacuated shortly after the incident began but police were unable to smuggle out one woman, who is in her eighties.

"It took them until 10.30pm to get her out," Kevin said. "They were saying to him (the man on the roof), 'we've got to get this lady out, she's done no harm to you', and he said, 'no, no, no'.
"I assumed then that the cherry picker was being used as a decoy to draw his attention to that end, so they could shelter her coming down the balcony.
At around 10.30pm a cherry picker was brought in to reach the man
"And Gerald, next door, who is partially sighted, was on his own. He seemed to be okay, we were ringing him to check on him.
"We were stuck in here the whole time. We were told not to leave."
The couple said that police were giving them no information about what was happening and that it was several hours before Cornwall Housing, which runs the flat, contacted them.
"Not one policeman knocked on the door to tell us what was going on," Kevin said.

"We got two phone calls from the council in the early afternoon to tell us to keep our doors and windows shut. And they'd only just got the information from the police themselves."
For the next 24 hours nobody told them anything. When the man gave himself up, the couple weren't even informed that they could safely leave their home.
Scene of destruction uncovered after Truro rooftop standoff ends
"Nobody came to say it was all over, we just saw it," Kevin said. "I went out there to take some pictures of the devastation afterwards and not one police officer spoke to me. Some of them turned around and saw me, but then looked away. Nothing."

For the past three years the couple said they have been desperately trying to find another place to live. This incident was simply the final straw.
"We're trying to get away from here," Sheila said. "When we moved here it was for the over-55s so I gave up my house because I was having trouble with the stairs, as I'm disabled.
"It was fantastic here for the first two years. We were really happy, everybody was.
"Then a person died, somebody else moved in and that's when it started kicking off. Since then it's just gone downhill. The whole area has.
"Everybody had a pride here. It was nice and clean. It's not anymore. I know people who have moved because of it. And it's putting pressure on our relationship. All we want is some peace, and we don't get it here."
Kevin added: "The last three years we've been through hell trying to get out. All we get told is, 'we understand where you're coming from'.
"The council are saying people with issues have got to be housed somewhere – but it's getting to the stage where we've got issues just as bad, just a different type."
As night fell, police night lights were brought in
The couple are grieving for the loss of Sheila's son, Michael Rabey, who took his own life in a car park at Plymbridge Woods, Plymouth, in late August.
Kevin, who is on compassionate leave from work and also cares for his disabled wife, was tearful when he explained how worried he was about her.
Sheila added that she was angry the Government "isn't putting more money into mental health".
She said: "My son went for help, but he didn't get it. He died because he was in pain, in agony.

"A week before he died he went to a consultant and his girlfriend went with him and she told the consultant, 'he's not going to survive if you don't help him'. A week later, he was gone."
Kevin said: "It hit me hard. So God knows what my wife is feeling like. We got the call today from the Coroner's office that his body has been released."
on Wednesday night (October 17) the couple stayed in a B&B, hoping that being away from the flat would enable them to get some rest. But their dog, Molly, was agitated, which put paid to any hopes for a peaceful night's sleep.
On Thursday morning roof specialists and staff from Cornwall Housing arrived at the scene to strip the tiles from the two-storey building.
At the time this interview took place, workers repairing the roof were banging and crashing just metres above Kevin and Sheila's flat.
But Kevin and Sheila haven't been given any indication as to how long the works will take.
The couple added that all proceeds from Sheila's son's funeral will go to mental health charity Mind.

With a huge increase in visitors from nearly 25 percent over the previous year and fully booked halls, the LogiMAT 2016 once again set new records. On the crowded stand of S & P, many visitors came to see demonstrations of our innovations for intelligent warehouse management live. Focus topics this year at S&P were Big Data, mobility and robotics.
Big Data is becoming an increasingly important issue that should not be ignored for warehouse management. Every day a WMS generates tons of data which could be analyzed and used to learn from developments in the warehouse and take proactive decisions.
The SuPCIS-L8 cockpit visualizes important events and conditions in the warehouse and illustrates metrics in real time. Tis year S & P presented an extension, which provides the cockpit the ability to save data and make developments and trend visible with a single click.
The collected data can be used for example to optimize staff planning: with one view recurring peak periods in picking areas can be identified.
At the LogiMAT 2016 S&P presented a new mobile client for the warehousemanagement software SuPCIS-L8.


When I used to get my annual review at my old job, if I received a bonus I'd buy myself something to celebrate. One year I bought a Brahmin bag, one year I booked a trip to the beach, one year I pampered myself at a spa. It was a way to congratulate myself for a job well done, a year of hard work.
Bloggers often celebrate a big campaign or a milestone in their career with a similar purchase. Many of us have seen the blogger who suddenly owns a Chanel bag or a pair of Gucci loafers. To get those achievements in blogging also takes a lot of work – pitching, rejection, calls, meetings, creative ideas, collaboration, editing, and more editing. So much work can go into a single blog post or photo on Instagram that most will scroll right past.
I decided instead of a designer bag to buy myself The Wing.
For those who haven't heard of it, The Wing is a female-only club and coworking space. The first location of The Wing opened in NYC two years ago, and this week they opened up down here in DC, Georgetown to be specific. The Wing believes that the act of coming together as women creates new opportunities, ideas and conversations that will lead to greater mobility and prosperity for womankind. I love this and want to support such an endeavor. On top of that… I'm finding I get distracted working from home. I was looking to join a coworking space but wanted it to also be a way to network, socialize, and meet fellow creatives.
The Wing is literally a block from my sister's office, so I can ride into work with her. Also, being located in Georgetown, it makes it easy then to head to client meetings during the day and blogger events in the evening (trying to get to Georgetown from the Maryland suburbs in rush hour is torture… two-hour torture). I plan to go a couple times a week, while still working from home half the time. I can bring up to four guests at a time.
With my sister, I bumped into my friends Prerana and Tanvi, the opening night pamphlet.
The party to celebrate the opening was this past Tuesday, I took my sister as my date. My Uber ride to Georgetown was surprisingly quick and I got there 15 minutes early. Good thing, as there was already about 20 women in line. By time they opened the doors, the line reached the end of the block. The Wing said 1,200 women attended that evening. Think about that… a room of 1,200 women. Only women (okay there was one male photographer but everyone else identified as female). 1,200 DC-based creative, professional, badass, powerful women in one space. All of us were excited, so many were open and smiling and wanting to connect. I was so in awe I hardly got any photos and only shared a bit on InstaStories. All of the photos in this post except the ones directly above are via The Wing.
The space is utterly gorgeous and well-appointed. There's showers with toiltries, grooming areas with hair appliances and products, a restaurant, private cubicles for calls and conference rooms for meetings. There's a library (organized by color just like my living room) that is all books focused on or written by women, the largest library of any Wing locations. And the staff is so welcoming, friendly, and wanting you to feel at home.
The Wing is a coworking space, but it also has so many events. Live viewing of the White House Correspondents Dinner, classes in meditation, happy hours, conversations with inspiring women (Hillary Clinton was recently a guest at the Wing NYC and they're hostng Kirsten Gillibrand and Diane Feinstein later this month), panels of authors, actors, artists, and more. All of these are free to members and members can bring up to two guests.
I'm excited about this change to my everyday, and look forward to meeting the strong women of the DC area. If you're a member of The Wing (I met a couple of you Tuesday which was AWESOME), reach out and I'd love to meet up!
That office is gorgeous and fits you to a T! My sister is a 100% teleworker and I don't know how she does it! I can only handle my current once a week situation.
I am sure potential brands/clients will be very impressed when they meet you at your "club." Nice way to level up!
There's quite a few SF women-only coworking spaces.
This sounds like a great idea. Wouldn't it be perfect if they also offered childcare?
That would be cool but I have no idea where they would fit it, and supposedly DC is one of the bigger locations!
I recently listened to a podcast about these all female co-working spaces and thought it sounded fabulous. This one is truly beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
They're opening one in LA and one in San Francisco!
… but why would you be investing in this service if you weren't making at least that much for whatever you want to work on while you are there? much cheaper than renting office space?
I would be. I find myself distracted at home and coffee shops around me are a premium. If I show up at 10am I'll already be out of a table. To be able to have a workspace where I can meet with brands, chat with clients, network with women in my city and have space to focus will help my business and my bottom line.
I have to ask – how is it practical to arrange the books by color? In your own house I can understand that you might know where to find what you're looking for, but in a library? Is there an index system where you can search by title or author and then know which color to go to? I'm intrigued!
Honestly I'm not sure. Tuesday night was overwhelming with the crowd and I didn't really get to see how everything works. I opened a book and there wasn't any bar codes or stickers for organization or to track rental. But that is one of the first things I am going to find out when I go back!
I am a 10 minute walk from The Wing. Give me a buzz when you want to grab coffee . . . .
What an interesting concept! Unfortunately, I can't swing the $215 per month fee. Do they offer financial assistance? I would think they would in order to be more inclusive of a variety of women.
Good for Audrey Gelman for calling out the expectation like that. She's a businesswoman and she's selling a service.
Q. As expansion continues, are there going to be changes in pricing or additional membership levels/options?
A. The Wing's scholarship program will be launching in the coming months, and we are actively looking at introducing new membership tiers to The Wing more accessible to women at all stages of their lives and careers.
Tiered membership is such a great idea.
What an amazing gift to yourself! Congratulations!!

How often jumped from global manufacturing superpower to a manufacturing power needs? May this year, issued in accordance with the "Made in China 2025" strategic blueprint sketched and upgrade schedule, just ten years. In this document known as the Chinese version 4.0 of industry, China will strive to manufacturing power entered the ranks within a decade, and among the world's manufacturing power in the forefront when the founding years. Now, this document fall for several months, but for many just completed the automation of manufacturing enterprises, intelligent manufacturing still just a vision, road resistance and long.
Many customers are interested in, they have this demand also have a budget, but now the problem is customer awareness of their needs is not clear, we need to take a long time to help them diagnose how the status quo, what issues should the development of wisdom from factory Where to start, this is a complex process. At the recent 2015 Shanghai International Automobile and Manufacturing Technology Exhibition of equipment and materials, Electronics Company, Ltd. Elco (Tianjin) Zhang Xin news of surging frankly, compared to German companies a clear upgrade goals, many domestic enterprises for Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing although very interested, but often not exactly understand the profound meaning of these words, such enterprises as the FAW-Volkswagen, you can explicitly set out the requirements. But many customers not only demand is unclear, even some kind of demand can be achieved are still a question mark.
2025 is often regarded as the Chinese Manufacturing Industry 4.0 Germany as a mirror like wisdom Factory concept in the country emerging from Europe and America the same industry, the typical case is the German industry leader Siemens Amberg established in the local electronics factory, and in Chengdu, Sichuan Amberg sister plant. In Germany Industry 4.0 Strategy Report, the smart factory means humans, machines, and resources can communicate with each other, like social networks as natural. Intelligent product know how they are made out of details, but also know their purpose.
After graduating from the Department of Computer Science, Tsinghua University, Zhang Xin went three strong traditional German Darmstadt University of Science and Technology to study after graduation to enter the German industrial automation field, after five years in Germany in the early 1990s to return home. This company under his leadership from developed industrial automation and control products started, we are now committed to providing customers wisdom factories and intelligent manufacturing solutions.
Siemens Digital Factory from a constant stream of visitors can be seen in domestic enterprises for smart factory high spirits. And Zhang Xin as optimistic in this business, and a minority. Intelligent Manufacturing, Industry 4.0 is that they introduce some keyword CPC data, but their idea of dismantling the plant wisdom, but also with Siemens and other German companies are very similar.
According to Zhang Xin reports, listed companies, large state-owned enterprises or industry leaders tend to be more intelligent manufacturing desire. But there are many traditional companies, may still between 2.0 and 3.0, is now said to do 4.0, the span is still relatively large.
Bosch Rexroth is another German industry 4.0 In addition, Siemens plans an active participant. Vice president of Bosch Rexroth China factory automation business unit sales Liutian Peng opinion, German and Chinese manufacturing industry 4.0 2025 coverage is not uniform, the former broader extension. German Industry 4.0 focus on the whole industry chain design and promotion, Made in China 2025 raised only intelligent manufacturing industry 4.0 part of one of the areas of the plant.
Before I went to the customer, many people will confuse automation and industrial 4.0, in fact, the two concepts. 2025 does not mean that Chinese manufacturing is highly automated, Industry 4.0 is based on certain manufacturing automation, integration processes and reduce costs.Tianpeng Liu say how the man better integrated into the production line is the key, which is the key industry 4.0. Core is people, not machines. For those who are still wandering manufacturing enterprise 2.0, it may take 3--5 years to change the thinking, then spend 3--5 years to upgrade equipment.
I think Chinese enterprises is still in the process of digestion intelligent manufacturing philosophy, there Lindemann from Germany. Chinese customers are currently not against us on the German Industry 4.0 product requirements. I think this idea is still stuck in the enterprise management stage, the next five years, will be gradually extended from management to production sectors. TRUMPF (China) Co., Ltd. Vice President of Sales Lindemann (MarkusLindemann) on said news that the show of emotion. The company's parent company TRUMPF Laser Group is the world's largest laser companies, Lindemann was stationed in Shanghai to develop the Chinese market for up to five years.

To see a loved one die in front of your eyes is really bad. I have personally seen my grandparents leaving us alone and crossing to the other side. It was heartbreaking to see them take their last breaths in the same bed.
But not every individual has the same bond with their loved ones. There are families that have a lot of complications and problems within them. Sometimes, some parents don't get along well with their children and vice versa. It all depends upon how you maintain your respect and bond with your loved ones.
But there are also families, which are closely knit together. Some of the parents earn well and leave a huge amount of property for their kids. No doubt money can't replace them, but it is nothing, but their blessings and good wishes for their children.
If you have recently suffered from the loss of a loved one, you surely know how difficult it is to cope up with his death. However, if he has left something for you in his will, you should consider yourself lucky; not everybody gets such a gift!
However, it is not easy for you to get the money or property soon. There are hundreds of formalities that are expected to be completed, before you get the money in your hands. This is the only reason why people opt for advance inheritance, so that they use the money to meet their needs, before they are blessed with the money or properties.
• You need to search for a particular company, which is into such a service. You can surely take the help of internet to get the best companies, out of which selecting one isn't a major problem.
• The website then asks for certain details from your end. It may also need some of the personal details, which you surely have to fill to get the loan. Once you fill in the basic information related to the estate as well as your relationship with the deceased individual, the details go for confirmation.
• After confirmation and finding out about your share in the inheritance, the company trusts you. It then provides you with an advance loan on your inheritance and waits for the day when you bang your luck in the court.
• The moment you receive your inheritance, you sell it for a good amount of money. As soon as you get your money, you then assign a small portion of it to the advance inheritance company.

There are three requirements to starting a successful truck driving career – the will, the training, and a truck driving job to get you started. If you provide the will, we'll deliver the training. What about the job? Do you have access to a database of over 10,000 potential employers? We do, and so can you if you undertake your truck driver training Diesel Truck Driver Training Schools.
Having been in the business for fifty years, we have developed a strong relationship with thousands of employers, many of them constantly looking for new drivers.

As a truck driver, you'll soon develop a reputation that makes you attractive to employers, and this makes this transition from one job to another an easy one.
However, it's that first job following training that is so important. This is the job that first tests your skills, your reliability, and has a major affect on your future career. We have a team devoted to helping our graduates find their first job following graduation, and their work starts with students from day one. They will work with you to determine where you would prefer to work, the type of work you would prefer to do, and the types of trucks you would prefer to drive. We can help to match you up with potential employers that meet those criteria while also developing your soft skills – the skills that you need to sell yourself to an employer.
If you are looking for a change of career, and truck driving appeals as a great career (and let us tell you – it is), then contact us for information on how we can help you achieve that goal. Truck driver training is only the first step – getting that first job is what really makes you a truck driver, and we can help you achieve that.
