In a world where there is a growing awareness of the possible
effects of human activities on climate change, there is a need to
identify the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) from wastewater
treatment plants (WWTPs). As a result of this growing awareness,
governments started to implement regulations that require water
authorities to report their GHG emissions. With these developments
there exists a strong need for adequate insight into the emissions
of N2O and CH4. With this insight water authorities would be able
to estimate and finally reduce their emissions. The overall
objectives of the different research programs performed by partners
of the GWRC members WERF (United States of America), WSAA
(Australia), CIRSEE-Suez (France) and STOWA (the Netherlands) were:
To define the origin of N2O emission. To understand the formation
processes of N2O. To identify the level of CH4 emissions from
wastewater collection and treatment systems. To evaluate the use of
generic emission factors to estimate the emission of N2O from
individual plants

"John Willis has looked deep into Dr. Deming's history and
teachings and profoundly explains his profound knowledge. Read this
book and you will understand like never before the wisdom and sound
advice of Dr. Deming." --Jeffrey K. Liker, author of The Toyota
Way"A thoroughly entertaining and educational look at Deming, a man
whose insights are fundamental to modern software development. This
book includes delightful stories of those around Deming who
influenced his work and helped create the foundation for agile and
DevOps." --Jim Whitehurst, Senior Advisor at IBMFrom the birth of
modern industry to winning WWII to Japan's Economic Miracle, W.
Edwards Deming helped shape some of the most profound moments in
modern history. Deming, an American engineer and statistician, is
widely recognized for his contributions to the field of quality
management. But his teachings go beyond quality management; they
influence not only how we work today, but also how we can continue
to succeed in the future. Part business history, part biography,
part journey into deep business sense, bestselling author John
Willis captures the full picture of Deming's life and influence.
Most importantly, Willis reveals the experiences that led to
Deming's greatest discovery: the System of Profound Knowledge, a
collection of fundamental truths that show how any system or
process can be transformed into something greater.From the
real-life Rosie the Riveter to a hacker writing US cybersecurity
law, Deming's ingenuity and system of thinking changed how we think
in the modern world. This book shows how we can take that influence
and continue to apply it our own future."Deming's Journey to
Profound Knowledge is a must-read for any student of Lean, Agile,
quality, the Toyota Production System, and continuous
improvement--or any leader who seeks to create a culture of
excellence in their organization."--Katie Anderson, author of
Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn
On August 3, 2019, a mass shooting occurred at Walmart Supercenter
#512 in El Paso, Texas. A twenty-one-year-old white supremacist
from El Paso targeted "Mexicans" and shot and killed twenty-two
people - thirteen Americans, eight Mexicans from nearby Ciudad
Juarez, and one German - and injured twenty-seven others. It was
the seventh deadliest mass shooting in the United States since 1949
and the deadliest attack on Hispanic and Latina/o Americans in U.S.
history. This book and the traveling exhibition that accompanies it
are meant to honor the memory of those twenty-two beautiful,
innocent beings who lost their lives in El Paso on that summer day
and to help heal not only the twenty-seven others who were injured,
but the countless others in America, New Zealand, Norway, and the
world who suffer and have suffered from hate in whatever form it
takes. All royalties earned from the sale of the chapbook and all
special collections received at the exhibit are being donated to
the families of those who died and were injured on that fateful day
in El Paso.

In the vein of the bestselling The Phoenix Project and The Unicorn
Project, Investments Unlimited radically rethinks how organizations
can handle the audit, compliance, and security of their software
systems-even in highly regulated industries. By introducing
concepts, tools, and ideas to reimagine governance, Investments
Unlimited catalyzes a more humane way to enable high-velocity
software delivery that is inherently more secure. Investments
Unlimited, Inc. has accomplished what many other firms in their
industry have failed to do: they have successfully navigated the
transition from legacy ways of working to the digital frontier.
With the help of DevOps practices, Investments Unlimited delivers
value to its customers with speed and agility. But now, all that
work is about to fall apart. Sure, DevOps helped the company adapt,
but it also failed them. While features moved through the
organization swiftly, their governance process became inundated
with friction, frustration, and failure. And now, their inability
to deliver what they promise has led regulators to slap them with
an MRIA (matter requiring immediate attention), the final warning
before cease-and-desist letters and fire sales. With the future of
Investments Unlimited on the line, a cross-functional team of
executives and engineers has just months to develop a modern
governance process that satisfies regulators but doesn't slow down
the company's ability to compete in the market. It is up to this
ragtag team to navigate trials, tribulations, site failures, and
supply chain attacks, all on their path to save the company from
disaster.
