The Spirits do not rest easily in Buffalo, New York. Specters of those who perished in the War of 1812 still wander along Main Street, where charred remains of their homes once stood. The ghosts of Erie Canal brawlers and loose women, even now, ply their trades along the former bustling towpath. Learn about strange Native American witchcraft that caught the attention of the U.S. government and lost cemeteries rediscovered during private and municipal improvement projects. Visit hidden passages located under the respectable streets of the Nickel City where gangsters held card games and stored illegal liquor. Find out about miraculous healings occurring in heavenly basilicas, as well as in humble chapels. These are just some of the fascinating and terrifying tales of one of the most historically significant cities on the Great Lakes.

As automation becomes more thoroughly networked with advances in speed, connectivity, and security; this fifth edition of an ISA best seller is still designed to give technical professionals with little or no background in data communications the knowledge they need to succeed. Additionally, even those with nominal knowledge will find information to enhance troubleshooting and to understand both legacy systems and the more advanced systems now being installed throughout automated facilities. As before, the text emphasizes the practical aspects of commonly used systems rather than design criteria. It contains a complete description of the relevant terminology, standards, and protocols including EIA/TIA-232/485, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.11, and IEEE 802.15. New material in this edition includes information on updated Ethernet and router technologies; a more detailed description of VPNs; and expanded information on cybersecurity (including ANSI/ISA/IEC 62443). A complete glossary and index allows the book to be used as a handy reference. SCADA, DCS, and fieldbus systems are all explained, as well as operating system considerations from a communications perspective. This is a book for newcomers to automation data communications, as well as a reference for those who are currently working in the field.

The Rev Tim Shaw is the author of Ghosts of Buffalo, Please Talk To Me: The True Story Of The C2D1 Haunting, Haunted Rochester, and co-author of Rev. Zombies Common Sense Look At Divination. In The Dogma ... of ME, the acclaimed radio host of The Black Cat Lounge brings you his wit and wisdom, as he gives his readers joy, hope and laughter in some of the best thought provoking sayings outside of a Chinese fortune cookie. Such quotations like "Instead of blaming others for what you can't do, perhaps you should look around and ask yourself what is it that you can do. Anyone can be a self- created victim, it takes a real person to set a goal and begin the journey of accomplishment."With humor and compassion, Tim shares his reflections on life with sayings, poetry and his photography.
