This book focuses on the historical and current place of religion in the Irish education system from the perspective of children's rights and citizenship. It offers a critical analysis of the political, cultural and social forces that have shaped the system, looking at how the denominational model has been adapted to increased religious and cultural diversity in Irish society and showing that recent changes have failed to address persistent discrimination and the absence of respect for freedom of conscience. It relates current debates on the denominational system and the role of the State in education to competing narratives of national identity that reflect nationalist-communitarian or republican political outlooks.This book will be essential reading for students and researchers in the fields of education policy and Church/State relations in Ireland and will also engage non-academic audiences with an interest or involvement in Irish education.

The iconoclastic host of the PBS show Enjoying Wine with Mark Phillips, has been turning the wine world on its ear since it first aired. In his 2009 wave maker, Swallow This, Mark stirred things up even more to the delight of consumers. Now comes the second edition, and it's a doozy. Among its new material are topics such as how to "fix" wine if you don't like it; wine selection and pricing ratings for major retail chains' additional food and wine pairing guidelines; how global warming is significantly changing wine growing regions; and a list of restaurants with the best deals on wine in the major metros of every state. Mark offers a whole new approach to wine, which flies in the face of what has been traditionally taught and serves as a practical and empowering alternative. Witty, unique and never boring, Swallow This will change the way you think about wine.

The programmable logic controller represents a key factor in industrial automation because, before programmable logic controllers, manufacturing plants employed relay-based circuitry to energise different loads based on how the relays were wired together. The circuit patterns used for these drawings are known as ladder diagrams. Relays were costly, required constant maintenance, and could not be easily reconfigured. As PLCs took over this process, it was essential to maintain a similarity to the old system; thus, ladder logic was created as the first PLC programming language. Ladder logic is one of the top 5 most popular types of PLC programming languages used in various module syllabuses in various fields of Engineering courses, including Electrical, Electronics, Telecommunications, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electromechanical, Oil and Gas, Ship Building and Marine Engineering, Pneumatic and Hydraulic Systems, to design various projects and systems in various areas, including domestic, residence,industrial systems, control of machinery, commercial, mining sector, aircraft, electric vehicles, marine automation, power stations, power substations, electric train and railway electrification systems, etc.

A Second Helping: Whining and Dining on Long Island picks up where Tom Schaudel’s first book, Playing With Fire, left off as a playful romp through the crazy world of restaurants, dining rooms, and professional kitchens. Filled with short stories of neurotic customers, stressed out servers, crazed cooks, and the undeniably unhinged, his unique and humorous observations will have you wondering how the expression, “The customer is always right,” ever came to be. Looking back through a fifty-year restaurant career, Tom has assembled a cast of characters that would be the envy of fiction writers everywhere. In this book, you will meet an f-bombing octogenarian, a D-level celebrity asking for separate checks at her wedding, an aspiring counterfeiter with a seriously flawed gift certificate, the nine-year-old antichrist, and a woman who flushed a six-carat diamond ring down a toilet bowl. This latest collection is guaranteed to make you stay up late and laugh out loud and is a must read for anyone who has ever eaten in a restaurant, worked in a restaurant, asked to use the restroom in a restaurant or, God forbid, dreamed of owning a restaurant.

This pioneering work transcends its time period and remains a foundational text in the field of microbiology. Louis Pasteur, renowned for his contributions to germ theory and pasteurization, brings his expertise to bear in 'Studies on Fermentation', offering a transformative perspective on the intricacies of beer production. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the history of microbiology, the scientific method, and the evolution of brewing techniques.

From USA Today bestselling author Sally Kilpatrick comes a country-fried take on Romeo and Juliet. The second worst thing Romy Satterfield ever did was fall in love with Julian McElroy. The first was to marry him. For decades, her family and his have been locked in a feud—their farms separated only by a narrow creek and thick band of bad blood with both sides committing their fair share of sins. Once upon a time, Romy and Julian thought they could change that—right up until the moment he stood her up on their wedding night. When her father breaks his leg, Romy reluctantly returns to care for him and the family farm. Seems like the universe is saying it’s time to get that divorce—especially since she’s engaged to Nashville’s most eligible bachelor. All she has to do is get Julian to sign the papers—too bad he’s never been one to make things easy for her.
