This is the toughest & longest option of the AES Picketpost courses. It is a lollipop shaped course following the Arizona Trail south from the Picketpost trailhead down to the Gila Rive. Riders will then ford the river in water ranging anywhere from calf to waist deep water depending on flow. The route continues on a series of jeep roads up out of the Gila River Valey over to the small town of Kelvin. From there it is 37 miles back to Picketpost along the Arizona Trail. There are no re-supply options on route. Water is available either by filtering the Gila River or going slightly off route to the Wilson Trailer Court in Kelvin.
This is truly a backcountry ride experience. Come prepared. GPS is highly recommended.

Blog Tour {Review, Excerpt & Giveaway}—A Missing Peace by Beth Fred
A turbulent, emotionally charged YA novel that breaks down barriers and challenges the status quo…
Angry, seventeen-year-old Iraqi war refugee Mirriam Yohanna hates her new life in Killeen, Texas, where the main attraction is a military base, populated with spoiled army brats like Caleb Miller.
Caleb has much to be angry about too, including Mirriam who turns him down flat in front of everyone. Eager for retribution, Caleb agrees to a dare that will see him take Mirriam to the prom and regain his pride.
But their relationship soon moves beyond high school antics. Mirriam and Caleb are bound together by more than location, and as they are forced to work closely together on a school assignment, they start to uncover an explosive story that has the potential to ruin lives — and both of their futures. One single truth changes everything and strengthens their bond.
When Mirriam's family discovers their relationship, they decide it's time to arrange her marriage to a proper Iraqi man. Caleb must convince Mirriam that he is in it for forever — or risk losing her for good.
A Missing Peace is a sweet YA Romance of two teens with very different ethnic backgrounds finding peace—within themselves, with their pasts and beliefs, between all their differences and the unexpected challenges, along with society's assumptions, prejudice, and peer pressure.
Mirriam Yohanna, an Arabic Christian and Iraqi war refugee, moves near a military base in Kileen, Texas. Though in the beginning she appears a bit stuck-up and removed from her classmates, I liked her immediately. She's trying to protect herself from the ridicule and hate she expects. Stereotypes on top of new-girl status, in a school of military kids who think they know the world? Well, her attitude is understandable, especially considering her past encounter with U.S. Forces.
Enter Caleb Miller, school jock who lost his father in Iraq. Despite his hate for the enemy, he agrees to a bet to take Mirriam to prom. To win, he must get close to her, and what better way than to become her study partner. But they soon learn their similarities far outweigh their differences, shattering everything they both thought they knew.
This story had so much promise. Not only was I drawn in by a different YA Romance of two heritages that are at war, but being a military brat myself, I enjoy any military setting and seeing authors portray it correctly. I'd like to say Beth Fred did, but the physical and tangible aspects of military life for a teen is hardly touched upon in the novel; it isn't the focus, but I would've been pulled into scenes and the characters' lives more if there were minute details were included.
The important, overall feel of gratitude and loyalty is definitely there, though. The effect of loss and distance on immediate families and fellow soldiers is, too. Not as strongly as I like and expected, but still present.
Sadly, I feel this way about every aspect of the book. Good, nice, but could have been so much more. The plot, with how entwined and complicated Caleb's and Mirriam's pasts are, is interesting but a little predictable. I'm glad it went deeper and farther than the bet, but I wish story was dragged out more to develop the characters, relationships, and resolution. The bet was unnecessary to begin with. It didn't affect anyone's choices, emotions, nor actions, and I completely forgot about it until the end; same with the school project. What seemed to be a big deal in the beginning had very little place in the rest of the book, and I found the ending sweet but … unbelievable, unrealistic.
A short read, with fast pacing and potential depth. A lot of discussion-worthy topics and emotional perspectives—from racism to religion, enemy and friendly fire to global warming, PTSD and suicide to conspiracy and duty. But everything was rushed, skimmed over, and many events felt convenient. Also, naturally overdramatic because the characters are teens, but not dramatic—heavy—enough in the areas that mattered.
Still, young teens might enjoy this story. It is sweet, has some good lessons, and ends fairy-tale like. I simply had high expectations. I greatly appreciated theme of finding peace, though, no matter how small or big the war, and how one can honor the heroes who sacrifice their lives for it.

Mirriam
I'd had it. That girl had called me a raghead before class started, and I didn't care. But this teacher was stupid. No wonder Americans were so ignorant. They were taught ignorance."It wasn't that bad," I started to say, but then realized I'd spoken out of turn. My hand shot up, but Mrs. Culpepper kept going like she didn't see it. I kept my hand up until she acknowledged me.
"Yes, Mirriam?""It wasn't that bad.""What?""Iraq. I lived there until two years ago. Honestly, we were all much safer before the bombing started. And I thought we were at war because the U.S. believed we had stockpiled nuclear weapons, which they never found?""If it wasn't so bad, why are you here?" the All-American jerk beside me asked.I rolled my eyes. "Because the bombing destroyed everything.""What about all the women on the news who said Hussein's sons raped them?" Caleb asked."What about the woman who said the same about your President Clinton?" I asked. "You can't tell me it was safe there. People were starving. Everyone turned against that man," he said."He wasn't popular, but we didn't really turn against him, either. He was better than the bombings, and a lot of things you call 'maltreatment' we call culture.""So you liked needing a male escort to walk outside?""I had to have a male escort, because my father insisted. Women didn't need male escorts. Even here, my brother usually goes with me when I'm out." It keeps strangers from calling me beautiful."This is a good debate," Mrs. Culpepper said.But All-American Boy shook his head. "We saved you people."That was too much. "Saved us from what?" My pitch and volume both went up. Instantly, I regretted it, but it was too late. "We didn't need saving, until you came with guns.""My dad died helping you people, so I don't appreciate that," he snapped."Let's calm down—" Mrs. Culpepper started."Appreciate it or not, it's the truth. My dad was gunned down for trying to save a man. Who exactly did that save?"I never talked about that. If I didn't say it out loud, maybe I wouldn't think about it. If I didn't think about it, maybe, for one second, I could forget about it. And then maybe, I could forget how much I hated the world.But I would never forget it. Yet at the same time, I couldn't really remember it. I knew that it had happened like I knew my name or that the earth was round. But the details, they'd disappeared.A terse silence filled the room. Caleb looked at me—looked into me—with deep brown eyes, and I wondered why. Was he trying to come up with his next insult? Did he feel guilty for the things he'd said?"I didn't mean for the conversation to get so lively," Mrs. Culpepper said.When Caleb finally spoke, his voice had gone soft, almost sympathetic. "We're there to keep terrorists from doing things like that."
A single tear rolled down my cheek, scorching my face. In spite of this, I let out a laugh. "Except, he was shot by an American soldier."Caleb's mouth gaped. He rocked back in his chair and didn't say anything else.

"… Benedict's concept of obedience is rooted in the ancient notion of listening. The Latin root words upon which obedience is based mean hearing in a way that involves meeting/encounter. The foundation of true obedience is a deep attention in order to receive more fully that which is being spoken/given. The whole point of the Benedictine life is to train your heart to listen for the Word that matters, and when it is hard, to respond with all your being, so that life springs forth."~~Norvene Vest, Preferring Christ: A Devotional Commentary on the Rule of St. Benedict.
1. The very first sentence of the Rule of Benedict tells us how very important listening is. Benedict says (paraphrased by John McQuiston II), "Attend to these instructions. Listen with the heart [in the original rendering of the Rule, "the ear of the heart"] and the mind; they are provided in a spirit of goodwill. These words are addressed to anyone who is willing to renounce the delusion that the meaning of life can be learned; whoever is ready to take up the greater weapon of fidelity to a way of living that transcends understanding."
The Rule is a radical document that calls us to a much more profound life, one rooted in the present, and always with the needs and interests of others paramount to our own. We have been told many times in our individual pasts that we need to listen, or that we aren't listening. Think of and discuss a time when your failure to listen to someone and be attentive to their needs and interests resulted in the failure to be of help to them and to fulfill your Christian obligation to them.
2. In the film, Jonathan spent a considerable amount of time explaining what obedience means, and he also equated it with the ability to listen. In a monastic order in particular, but also in our ordinary lives, how does listening relate to obedience?
"It is very difficult for me to set aside my own concerns and tasks when my husband asked me for something, for example-- at all, much less at once. I remember a time when I was a teenager. My father asked me to do something and I stopped and asked him "Why?" He was outraged, and I shouted back, "Why are you paying all that money to send me to college, if you don't want me to ask why?" I felt entirely in the right.
Apart from normal teenage issues of asserting a separate identity from one's parents, it occurs to me that another issue here touches the core of obedience. The goal of a harmonious union of mind, heart, and spirit is utterly shattered by an inconsistence that each request/instruction be evaluated to determine if it is reasonable and appropriate. It is a form of insisting on separation that is poor training indeed for life in Christ. There must, at some point, be a simple willingness to do what the other asks out of love for the other-- simply because he or she asked. And painfully, that willingness must be expressed with a real live person, one whose frailties I see all too well.
4. If you are interested in forming a Benedictine Way Group to continue the study of the rule of Benedict, and the ways in which we can live the rule in our personal lives, along with our spiritual lives within our spiritual community, please let me know. I am very much interested in contacting people from other churches in Mount Sterling, and also perhaps other Episcopal churches that are fairly close to us geographically, such as Morehead, Winchester, or Flemingsburg. I have some materials from the Washington National Cathedral that I will be happy to share with you, and also some information from St. David's Parish in Washington DC. You may also find it helpful to access, if you have a computer, the website called Friends of Benedict. There you will find reading recommendations, other churches throughout the United States and elsewhere who have Benedictine Way Groups, and a way to contact Kurt Aschermann (who is mentoring me) for additional information you might need that I have not provided you. I thank you most sincerely for your participation in this adult Sunday school class, and I look forward to further discussions with you.
In the monastic mind, work is not for profit. In the monastic mentality, work is for giving, not just for gaining. In monastic spirituality, other people have a claim on what we do. Work is not a private enterprise. Work is not to enable me to get ahead; the purpose of work is to enable me to become more human and to make my world more just.~~Joan Chittister, Wisdom Distilled from the Daily: Living the Rule of St. Benedict Today.
"Tasks and activities may indeed differ in weight, but the one is not worthy of more attention (is "more sacred") than the other. This attitude is especially difficult to cultivate. It is very tempting and quite natural to view some activities is more worthy of our time and attention than others: the writing of an important executive notice, the preparation for crucial meeting with a generous philanthropist, the writing of a keynote lecture for an international scientific Congress, or the composing of a report for a meeting of bishops. But we might be tempted to consider other activities less important such as the following: repairing your daughter's bicycle tire, the recreational reading of a bedtime story to a child, or the careful scrubbing of your kitchen floor. But when we realize that all of these tasks, though not the same, are equally worthy, and that all of them deserve to be done attentively, as opportunities "to praise God," or, in a more secular vein, to attend and get things right, and when we respond to this awareness then all activities will increase in quality."
1. What rhythms of prayer and work shape your life? Whether you are together or not, how do you share those rhythms with others?
2. "The Benedictine view of work is rooted in spirituality. Through our work we serve God by serving one another. In our work we use the gifts that God has given us in a generous, responsible, and humble way. Work is important but it doesn't define who we are. Work is an occasion to "step aside" and let our actions glorify God. Through work we can exercise and hold our "Christian muscles." We can seek God as we do each task of the day. Our true work as Christian people is to be Christ's body here on earth, committed to the work of fulfilling the promises we make in our baptismal covenant: to proclaim by word and example the good news of God in Christ, to seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves, and to strive for justice and peace among all people, respecting the dignity of every human being."
What does this mean to you, and how does it work out in your own life?
you will have life abundantly.
Seek to do good for others, and you will find fulfillment.
and you will discover what you're seeking.
on account of our good works.
and be grateful to serve as its medium.
How do you think this relates to your own specific professional work?
Try to incorporate the information given in these five lessons into a one-paragraph summary and affirmative statement of how the Benedictine way could improve your life significantly.
In the movie, Jonathan mentioned something that Benedictines do when they read the Bible-- he called it lectio divina, or "sacred reading." Lectio is a kind of reading with which we are vaguely unfamiliar-- when we read, especially biblically, we normally take a passage at a time and then reflect on that specific passage. Lectio takes this a bit further. Michael Casey speaks of lectio as "more than the pious perusal of spiritual books. Lectio divina is a technique of prayer and a guide to living. It is a means of descending to the level of the heart and finding God. In the past two decades many people have been initiated into lectio, although often this is been merely a matter of refining an existing practice. It has been a common experience to discover that binding prayer to the Scriptures is an effective means of overcoming the obstacle of subjectivism and of finding a way out of what had become a blind alley of blank spiritual experience."
"Lectio divina is a practice of being present to each moment in the heart centered way. We invite God to speak to us in an unmediated way. Our memories, images, and feelings become an important context for experiencing God's voice active in us, and we discover it when we pray from our hearts those words moving through us break open God's invitation to us in this moment of our lives and call us to respond."
According to Benedict, Scripture has four "senses." These are what we would refer to as the literal sense, the Christological sense in which we find added meaning to Scripture through the use of allegory and metaphor, the behavioral sense, which is also referred to as the moral or tropological sense, meaning the way in which Scripture shapes our beliefs and values so that our behavior is eventually evangelized. The final sense is the mystical sense, which is the sense that refers to the leading of us deeper into prayer.
Each of the senses requires different responses on our part-- the literal sense engages our intellects, the Christological sense engages our memory, the behavioral sense engages our conscience, and the mystical sense engages our spirit.
So how does one choose texts for prayerful reading? There are any number of ways in which this can be done. One may choose a brief passage from any part of Scripture, and then using that daily for two or three days. One may use the lectionary in the same way. Ancient monks would select a book of the Bible and began at the beginning, and then pray with the words until a particular word or phrase struck them, either positively or negatively (even disturbing words or phrases can be used most effectively), and then they paused there to allow their prayer to unfold. When they returned to the text they picked up at the same place and continued forward from there. In this way a specific book of the Bible might sustain a prayer for many weeks. And the passages chosen do not have to be from the Bible. Other texts can be used, such as noncanonical texts or other spiritual books, such as those I have referenced from Richard Rohr, Michael Casey, Joan Chittister, and others.
Let's experiment with a couple of passages taken from different sources. The first passage we will take from the book of Exodus (3:1-5).
Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. Then Moses said, "I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up." When the Lord saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am." Then he said, "Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."
The second passage is from the Rule of Benedict, Chapter 31.
Let him regard all the utensils of the monastery and its whole property as if they were the sacred vessels of the altar. Let him not think that he may neglect anything. He should be neither a miser nor a prodigal and squanderer of the monastery's substance, but should do all things with measure and in accordance with the Abbot's instructions.
Begin the practice of lectio divina, either on your own or with the company of others. Typically, monastics did their reading in groups, though they were silent during this time. It can be done in any way, and please know that there are no hard and fast rules about how it may be done. It is simply a matter of using spiritual texts in order to deepen one's prayer.
1. Joan Chittister refers to stability as a "revelation of the many faces of God." What do you think she means by this?
2. What is it that often demands your attention when you are doing something else?
3. Do you see any connection between vulnerability, attention to the present moment, and beginning again?
"Recently I have become aware what a demanding spiritual discipline is this simple practice of attention to the present moment! At times of stress, I find myself enmeshed in a complex pattern of self denunciation, guilt, frustration, and weariness, which effectively blocks me from being aware of what is actually going on. Basic simplicity of the heart, rooted in the truth about what really is, turns out to be the disposition of profound spiritual maturity. I find myself having to begin over and over, needing to start yet again as a novice, in humility. Yet, oddly, there's often a greater gentleness and self-care in such simplicity that there is in complex psychological assessment. Both are needed, of course, but how liberating it is to be able to imagine and hope for the possibility of simplicity as the truest reality of my being!"
Reflect on this during the week, and try to take note of the times you are able to bring yourself back to the present moment in the midst of all that is around you at any given time.
It should be the work of Christians who believe in the Paschal mystery to help people when they are being led into the darkness and the void. The believer has to tell those in pain that this is not forever; there is light and you will see it. This isn't all there is. Trust. Don't try to rush through it; we can't leap over our grief work. Nor can we skip over our despair work. We have to feel it. That means that in our life we will have some blue days or dark days. Historic cultures saw grief as a time of incubation, transformation, and necessary hibernation. Yet this sacred space is the very space we avoid. When we avoid darkness, we avoid tension, spiritual creativity, and finally transformation. We avoid God, who works in the darkness-- where we are not in control. Maybe that is the secret: relinquishing control.~~Richard Rohr, Everything Belongs.
1. How was humility defined in the video? What does it mean to be "at the center" of the Rule? What models of humility do we celebrate?
3. In Chapter 7 of the Rule, Benedict outlines what he means by humility. In the process of salvation, which could also be called liberation, humility plays a crucial role. But it isn't in the sense of which we ordinarily think of humility-- "although it may indeed manifest itself in a manner that is self-deprecating, it does not do so out of a sense of low self-esteem. Rather, it is a simple recognition of the reality of one's limitations, especially in relation to God. To be humble is to be realistic about what one can or cannot achieve by personal effort. It is opposed, not to self-esteem, but to the illusion of personal autonomy." (Dumm, 2008) Why might we refer to this understanding of the process of salvation as liberation instead?
4. As Jonathan mentions in the film, Benedict wrote the rule specifically for beginners. It is always for beginners, and for no other level, because Benedict believed that there was no other level. People who have been monastics for 30 years, or 60 years, or two days, still remain novices. Every day, and always, we began again in our spiritual life. As Rohr says, we are not born again-- we are born again and again and again. Derske explains it this way: "With Benedict, there is only one level: the level of the beginner, and there's only a slow tempo: the level of the beginner: the one from day to day where we practice piecemeal spiritual improvement management, which is called in Latin conversatio morum (one of the three vows which the monk makes). Do you find this to be disappointing? Why or why not?

The iconic Loftus 200 team will revive this year with a match planned against the Currie Cup team of the Valke on 7th July 2018 at Loftus Versfeld. The JVL Loftus 200 team was established in 1986 as an invitational team featuring leading club players from within the BBRU club structures and have recorded many an impressive victory over Currie Cup teams in the past.
The team will be coached by Victor Matfield with another legendary Blue Bulls Akona Ndungane as Team Manager. Victor will be assisted by Carlton League coaches Gert Mulder of QBR and Marinus van der Watt from Naka Bulls Rugby Club.
According to Mr Willem Strauss, President of the Blue Bulls Rugby Union, the JVL Loftus 200 team will fill the vacuum which was created by the cancelling of the National Amateur Tournament. "With the JVL Loftus 200 Team we want to create a pathway for club players to the Blue Bulls Currie Cup squad. It is also part of our strategy to align the structures within the BBRU with one another, thereby broadening the base from which representative teams could be selected". "I also believe that the days of contracting huge number of players are not financially viable anymore and that we need to create an additional pipeline for players with potential via our schools and club structures, as well as initiatives such as Loftus 200, to eventually progress to professional squads of the Bulls.
Dr Eugene Hare, Chief Executive Officer of the BBRU confirmed that a second match is planned for JVL Loftus 200 later in the year to give even more exposure to the top club players in the Union. Dr Hare also confirmed that the Blue Bulls Reserve League Team, as well as Limpopo, selected from the non-Carlton league clubs, will play a number of representative matches during this year.
The Vodacom Bulls returned to Loftus after losing against the Jaguares and they have no choice but to correct their ship in Round 15 of Vodacom Super Rugby.
Cause for concern for the Vodacom Bulls camp would not be so much that they were outplayed by the Jaguares, but more because of the inconsistency in performances. There was a night and day difference between the team that beat the Cell C Sharks and the one that fronted up to the Jaguares. As they like to say in sport, " the team just didn't pitch up on the day". The team seemed to lack urgency and cohesion and the coaches will be hoping to put that down to the long travel time to Argentina, rather than any kind of rugby-related issue.
The men from Pretoria did score two tries towards the end of their Argentinean dogfight that added some gloss to the loss but it goes without saying that they let themselves and the Loftus faithful down.
After getting a proverbial hiding from the Emirates Lions last weekend, the Brumbies are also facing a must-win situation in Pretoria.
Head to head, the Brumbies hold a considerable advantage over the Vodacom Bulls as they have only lost seven of the 19 matches played but the home team did record an emphatic 44-23 win against their foes from Down Under when they last met at Loftus Versfeld in 2014. The average score is 30-26 to the visitors with the Brumbies scoring an average of four tries to three per game.
The Brumbies will be without Rory Arnold as he was red carded for his dangerous tackle on Springbok pivot, Elton Jantjies, and was subsequently banned for three weeks.
The visitors will not be too perturbed about him missing out as they have a number of stalwarts in their team including lock Sam Carter, flank David Pocock, flyhalf Christian Lealiifano and wing Henry Speight who have enough experience to know how to win matches.
This is one of those games where if the Vodacom Bulls fire anywhere close to 100%, the Brumbies will stand very little chance of a win.
On the home front, Vodacom Bulls head coach John Mitchell has welcomed back regular captain and inside centre Burger Odendaal. His return sees Handrè Pollard shift back to flyhalf while Manie Libbok moves to the bench.
Amongst the forwards, Nic de Jager starts at blindside as Thembelani Bholi is rested on the bench. On the topic of bench warmers, lock Ruben van Heerden takes over from the injured Hendre Stassen while there is a possible Vodacom Super Rugby debut for prop Mathys Basson who replaces Frans van Wyk.

The Nation in Conversation topic "Agriculture 2035", focusing on how new technology will change the face of agriculture as we know it today, is sure to spark debate around how to feed a burgeoning global population with natural resources that are already under pressure, as well as the sustainable development of the sector.
For AFGRI, South Africa's leading agribusiness, innovation is one of the key aspects of remaining relevant to today's farmers. "At AFGRI we strive to place innovation at the forefront of solutions to enhance productivity, creativity and ultimate value to customers. It is quite simply a way of doing business today," says Chris Venter, CEO of AFGRI Group Holdings.
While innovation is encouraged across all of AFGRI's products and services, including farming equipment and FinTech products such as the group's eAccounts offering, AFGRI Technology Services ("ATS") was set up some 18 months ago to focus on introducing innovation and technology across the agricultural value chain and bringing AgTech solutions to customers.
Neumann lists some of these challenges to be: the limited access to resources, finance, markets and information; increasing demand for farming efficiency – the constant demand to do more with less at a cheaper price; changing consumer demands, particularly towards increased food traceability and alternate protein sources; the demand to produce more to meet the exponential growth in the population; supply chain inefficiency and wasteful value chains; climate change, decreasing availability of land, water scarcity and changing weather patterns.
Innovation and technology advisory services for farmers and businesses.
The design and co-design of new technology-driven business models, digital products and services for the sector.
The building of new technology through co-creation and outsourcing services for Ag-specific innovation and digital activities.
In the FinTech space, AFGRI has for some time led the pack amongst agricultural businesses with its afore-mentioned eAccounts offering. "In this age of technology, where most financial transactions are done through the touch of a button rather than in the presence of a teller or the bank manager, it is essential for financial services companies to offer top-notch electronic platforms from which clients can transact. eAccounts does just this – it's a ground-breaking electronic account management solution offered to customers through UNIGRO," explains Tinus Prinsloo, CEO of AFGRI.
Customers can, from a handling and storage perspective, view and receive invoices and statements, as well as draw detailed reports and information of their respective grain delivered for storage at any of AFGRI Grain Management's 85 locations across the country. An ability exists to calculate storage rates according to grade and grain type. Customers are also able to access and monitor their procurement contracts, which contain detailed information, as well as movement reports. Another feature enables farmers to record rainfall on their lands. Future developments on this platform include an insurance and claims functionality.
Of course, when it comes to agricultural equipment, staying at the forefront of innovation is a must. AFGRI Equipment has ensured that farmers in Africa have had access to the finest agricultural equipment through the largest single John Deere franchise on the continent since 1962. What's more is that AFGRI Equipment can support farmers with mobile servicing and maintenance workshops, ensuring effortless management of an agricultural fleet. Workshops are manned by highly qualified personnel, accredited by John Deere.
What's more is that to ensure farmers have ground-breaking technology to hand in order to best manage their equipment, the AFGRI Equipment and John Deere partnership are currently implementing JD Link, a near real-time telematics system connecting all makes and models of agricultural machinery in the field with the farmer's office and mobile devices.
"The JD Link system, which AFGRI Equipment has already started rolling out to farmers, helps collate telematics and a wide range of data from all machines. Vital information to prevent downtime as an example, is available at any time to the farmer, and this, in our opinion, will improve efficiencies even further," says Prinsloo, adding that AFGRI Equipment would be making more information available on this system in the next few weeks.
The spectacular John Deere machines, along with specialist potato equipment, will be on display at the AFGRI Equipment John Deere stand as well as the new AFGRI stand, H2 at NAMPO – we urge you to come and take look at our latest range.
One of the debate topics at this year's Nation in Conversation is around the importance of economies of scale, and the benefits of having an economy of scale in business, and specifically in South African agriculture.
From a business perspective, there is none closer to this subject than AFGRI itself. Now a leading agricultural services company, the group had a humble beginning. Back in 1923, 150 people attended a meeting called to establish the Oos-Transvaalse Landboukoöperasie, with 29 people signing the list of original members.
By 1930, 5,400 tons of maize was being handled by AFGRI – then considered a record, this in fact was hardly enough to fill the tube of one modern silo today. And 42 years later, in 1972 the total business silo capacity was 587,700 metric tons. Today AFGRI's handling and storage capacity is more than five million tons!
Over the 95 years it has been in business, AFGRI has grown its offerings to encompass a wide variety of services and products, geared to support farmers no matter what their size.
"Constant innovation and in-depth knowledge of the agricultural sector means that we have also kept pace with the changing needs of our customers. We now offer grain management services, financial services, including insurance solutions and a financial transacting platform, agricultural equipment, animal feeds, retail outlets, commodity and currency trading, and commodity hedging amongst others," says CEO of AFGRI, Tinus Prinsloo.
According to Prinsloo, South African farmers are also world leaders in adopting technology to enhance and economise farming.
To ensure farmers have ground-breaking technology to hand to best manage their equipment, the AFGRI Equipment and John Deere partnership are currently implementing JD Link, a near real-time telematics system connecting most makes and models of agricultural machinery in the field with the farmer's office and mobile devices.
He adds that another logical progression of economy of scale, and the experience gained over more than nine decades of working side by side with South Africa's farming community, is AFGRI's involvement in assisting emerging farmers, where the goal is to support their growth path of becoming the commercial farmers of the future.
Prinsloo concludes that at AFGRI it is not one divisional approach that supports the success of the farmer, no matter whether large or small, but the total offering of AFGRI, which has been moulded over nine decades and which continues to be enhanced upon as requirements and economic challenges change.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the iAutocue presentation.
Let me first start by answering the question that I guess all of you have: What is iAutocue?
iAutocue is a simple Autocue (or Teleprompter) app to help you read your speech at a presentation. The same way I am reading this presentation to you right now!
You can set the letter size and the scroll speed.
It also has a mirror mode, in case you are going to use it with the usual one-way mirror glass.
You can download your Speech (either as plain text or as formated HTML) from your computer or any on-line download file hosting service (like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc).
The Main (Speech) screen has several controls to help you set up and deliver your speech.
The first thing you do (after you load your speech and select the desired Font Face (both from the Settings Screen)), is set the Font Size that you can comfortably read the text.
Using the Slider on the right, set the desired speech-scrolling speed. The Slider will always be visible, to enable you to control the scrolling speed at any time.
On the bottom of the screen (BotS), there is the [Show / Hide All Buttons] button. When you tap it it will toggle the visibility of all the other buttons on this screen.
The 3 BotS buttons will always function, even if they are not visible.
So when you tap the [S/H A B] all the buttons will become invisible, but if you tap again (the area where the [S/H A B] button was) they will all become visible again.
On the left of the [S/H A B] button, there is (if you have selected the "Stop Button" option) a [Stop/Go] Button. This will stop (and resume) the scrolling of the speech, even if it is not visible.
On the right of the [S/H A B] button, there is a small clock. If you tap on it it will toggle its visibility.
Above those 3 BotS buttons there is the [Settings] button. It has to be visible to work.
Above there is the [Show Timer] button (if you have selected the "Use timer", it will stay visible - useful for a "Moment of silence"-type situations).
When tapped, it will show a timer at the top of the screen and when you tap it again, it will start the Timer (counting up, or down, according to your settings) and stop the scrolling of the speech. If you tap the Timer, both buttons will hide and the speech will resume scrolling.
There is also a large [Resume Scroll] button, that appears when needed, just in case.
Of course, you can manually scroll the speech at any time.
This concludes my sort presentation of iAutocue. I hope you liked it.
Please join me, at they foyer of this nice venue, for a glass of wine and answers to your questions about iAutocue.

Hippie Priest — Gaia Variants (June 24, 2016) • A Chicago–based record label lifting up homegrown American talents. Parent label of Tasteful Nudes and Stolen Kisses sub–labels.
• Since its inception in 2012, Argot's mission statement has remained the same: to promote, showcase, and support American electronic music. Four years and numerous 12" singles later, Argot proudly presents Hippie Priest's "Gaia Variants", the first full–length album released on the label. The debut work of 21–year–old Illinoisan Will Justice, "Gaia Variants" is a 50 minute long psychedelic journey that pairs cosmic textures and moods with a warm dancefloor sensibility.
• From its first minute, the album plays with mood and motif. "Einn" is sunny and lively. "Field Hats (Reflection Mix)" is grand, a contemporary vision of Tangerine Dream built from arpeggiated synthesizers. The light–hearted "Interdimensional Traveler" tweaks expectations, highlighting the album's playful sense of humor. "Into The Gangway," which closes the album's first side, is its most arresting work, written in a pentatonic scale with a driving deep house beat — like Philip Glass meets Mr. Fingers. The second side features some contemporary R&B flavor, most notably on "Vibe Uuu," featuring a warped, rubberized vocal sample. It ends with "He's Drifting" and "Windowed Ceiling," two spectral, emotional works that become one.


The University of Reading recently launched the College of Benefactors to appropriately celebrate the exceptional contribution made by its most generous donors.
At the launch, during the Graduation Ceremony in July, the eight donors (or representatives of) were invited to join the graduation procession at the London Road campus in Reading. Henley Business School's members included Sir John Madejski OBE DL, The British Land Company plc, CBRE, SEGRO plc, and The International Capital Market Association (ICMA).
Each donor has given several hundred thousand pounds or more to the University or RREF and their generosity has transformed the lives of students, from providing scholarships through to supporting the development of new buildings and the acquisition of the latest research equipment and technology.
A familiar name, Sir John Madejski became Chancellor of the University in 2007 a result of the continuation of a distinguished relationship with the University. Sir John is patron of the John Madejski Centre for Reputation within Henley Business School, and was also a supporter of the new Agriculture Building in 2000, after which the Madejski Theatre is named.
CBRE are the largest and longest standing donors of Reading Real Estate Foundation (RREF) and have been Corporate Patrons since 2003. Ciaran Bird, CBRE Managing Director UK said: "CBRE is very proud of its long standing relationship with RREF, which has been going for over 10 years. We are strong advocates of a close partnership between academia and industry which is why we took the decision many years ago to fund a Chair in Real Estate Finance at the School of Real Estate & Planning. RREF plays a vital role in supporting young people at an important stage of their lives and as a company which is passionate about attracting and nurturing talented individuals we are pleased to be Corporate Patrons helping to fund bursaries for students in need. In addition, the work of RREF on projects such as the careers fairs, work experience placements and Pathways to Property help us and the industry to work towards our aim of increasing the diversity and quality of people coming into property."
British Land are principle donors funding Pathways to Property, a widening participation initiative established in 2012 by RREF and The Sutton Trust to encourage students from UK state schools and colleges to consider a career in property. British Land have provided expertise, industry knowledge and volunteers to help raise awareness of real estate as a subject of study amongst academically able pupils from disadvantaged and non-traditional backgrounds, breaking down barriers to applications.
The ICMA Centre at Henley Business School was founded at the University of Reading in 1991 through a unique collaboration between the University and the ICMA. In 2005 the ICMA further supported the University with a £5 million gift to expand the Centre's teaching facilities and add new dealing and seminar rooms.
Sir David Bell, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Reading, added: "Our donors make a huge difference to the lives of students, as well as to the University as a whole. Their generosity ensures that Reading continues to provide the very best student experience, as well as enabling us to continue with our cutting-edge research which is making a genuine difference to the world. We thank all of these donors for their exceptional support and welcome them to the College of Benefactors."


In Pilgrimage of affection pleasure Ann McDougall bargains an unique examining and demanding research of German Protestant theologian J?rgen Moltmann's social trinitarian theology. She identifies the using theological impulses, methodological convictions, and useful matters that form the author's evolving trinitarian imaginative and prescient. She uncovers the narrative of divine love in Moltmann's early trilogy and indicates how its conceptual trajectory shifts and deepens in his six-volume Systematic Contributions to Theology. construction on her research, McDougall advances a compelling case for the idea that of trinitarian fellowship because the structuring theological precept in Moltmann's later paintings. She demonstrates how this idea of divine love unifies the author's theological anthropology, theology of grace, and the practices of the lifetime of religion. eventually, she exhibits how this "social trinitarian analogy of fellowship" serves as an elastic rule of religion within the own, political, and ecclesial nation-states of human life. whereas McDougall highlights the prophetic power of Moltmann's trinitarian theology for Christian praxis, she additionally demanding situations the author's underdeveloped doctrine of sin and concept of theological language. Pilgrimage of affection deals one of many first entire interpretations of Moltmann's mature trinitarian theology. It introduces, systematizes, and clarifies the idea of 1 of the main major Protestant theologians on the flip of the twenty-first century. This examine could be a useful source on Moltmann's inspiration for students of contemporary Protestant theology, and for all these attracted to the present renaissance of trinitarian theology.

Q: Magnetic Field at centre of Hemisphere
MY APPROACH:
I know that we have rotate by an angle theta from centre  and take an angular element which corresponds to a ring and write the expression for field accordingly. But my main problem is that i am not able to interpret how the turns of the wire are distributed. I assumed that they are distributed over the surface area uniformly however that lands up the value for 'N' as 3. However the answer given is 4. All I need to understand is how the turns vary with angle theta. It would be great if someone could help me out with this one

A: Consider a current looping uniform arc distribution. The loop density per arc length
$$
  \lambda = \frac{N}{\pi R / 2}
$$
the nunber of loops $dN$ between $\theta$ and $theta + d\theta$:
$$
  d N(\theta) = \lambda R d\theta =  \frac{2 N}{\pi} d\theta.
$$
These rings at angle $\theta$ contribute a magnetic field of:
$$
   dB = \frac{\mu_o R^2 \sin^2\theta }{2 R^3} \frac{2 N i}{\pi} d\theta,
$$
The total field is:
$$
   B(O) = \int_{\pi/2}^{\pi} \frac{\mu_o N i \sin^2\theta }{\pi R} d\theta
$$
$$
   = \int_{\pi/2}^{\pi} \frac{\mu_o N i}{\pi R} \frac{1-\cos 2 \theta}{2} d\theta
$$
$$
   = \frac{\mu_o N i}{2 \pi R} \left[ \theta - \frac{\sin 2 \theta }{2} \right] _{\pi/2}^\pi
$$
$$
   =  \frac{\mu_o N i}{2 \pi R} \frac{\pi}{2} =  \frac{\mu_o N i}{4 R}
$$
We assume the uniform arc distribution to obtain $n=4$.

The global economic crisis has affected different countries in the world with United States of America being the worst affected as this crisis begun in this nation. Nearly, every economy in the world has been shaken by the wave of economic instability that threatens to slow down these economies with some of them being forced into recession. Among the national economies that were not speared by this wave of economic destruction is the United Kingdom. Different industries, businesses and organization have registered a retarded growth in the past few months, with some companies being severely affected.
The United Kingdom, having been hit by a wave of economic downturn between 2008 and 2009 is in the process of recovering from what is claimed to be the worst recession since 1960. As a result, there are still economic issues that are yet to be set in order with most businesses operating below their standards. However, analysts have argued that the United Kingdom is still far from being freed from the chains of economic downturn and instead, faces challenges on how it can align itself in such a way that it would be able to recover from this season of negative economic growth. According to Hamilton (2010), there is a high likelihood that the United Kingdom will slump back into economic recession if there are no critical measures that are taken to ensure that the road to economic recovery is maintained. On the other hand, he also reiterates that current economic conditions are not favorable to the running of businesses.
Before proceeding far, it is important to define what a recession is. A recession can be described as a turn down in economic growth that affects nearly every sector in an economy over a period of more than a few months, and it is usually revealed in the real income, GDP, employment, wholesale-retail sales, and industrial production (Bernstein 2008, p.77). It is important for one to understand that recessions has negative impact rather than positive impact on the economy. For example, the current economic recession in the United Kingdom has had a very negative impact on Manchester United Football Club.
First, there were arguments as recent as May 2009 that the football arena remained untouched by the ongoing recession in the United Kingdom and across the globe in general (Financial Times Express 2009). However, there are tremendous changes that have occurred so far and the football world is now feeling the pinch of economic recession. Manchester United that had not been greatly affected as per May 2009 has an uncertain future since the sponsorship it was receiving from AIG is unpredictable, especially after a subsidiary company of AIG went under in the United States (Kelso 2009). Similarly, there has been a drastic drop in the number of tickets that are bought by its fans. As a result, there has been a drastic reduction in revenues that are collected by this club. This is attributed to the fact that most people have been affected and they are working on reducing expenditure and increase their savings. Thus recent company ratings reveal that Manchester United has fallen behind Barcelona FC on the rich list (Gibson 2010).
According to Andrews (2004), the mission statement of Manchester United states that the goals of this team are to protect the brand through evolution, commitment and innovation and through sustaining the playing success on the field and growing the business in order to enhance the financial strength of the group (p.1). The mission statement reads; Our goal is, through innovation, commitment and evolution, to protect and develop the brand by sustaining the playing success on the field and growing the business to enhance the financial strength of the Group (p.1).
Manchester United as a company has been able to maintain its performance standards in terms of finances and growth. This team, working as a company has not only enhanced the standards of its game on the pitch but has also opened up business franchise to enable it to continue earning extra income thus leading to a tremendous overall growth. On the other hand, there are different revenue channels that have been employed to ensure that it is able to have a continuous earning, whether on the field or off the field. For example, this team has been able to enhance its earnings through advertisements, merchandise, investments in the hotel industry, etc.
Similarly, it has continually enhanced its mutual relationship with its partners and sponsors such as AIG and other partners. This has guaranteed it a never ending support whenever it is needed.
One of the greatest strengths of Manchester United is its brand recognition on the world market. Throughout the world, Manchester United's brand is well known and this has led to easy identification of its products. For example, if Manchester United came up with a new product, it will not struggle in selling it since its brand is well recognized among its fans across the globe. Another strength of Manchester United arise from the fact that this team has been able to establish a broad network of fans, who through their buying of tickets are able to contribute highly to a rise in its revenues (Thinking Made Easy 2008).
Despite having strengths in its strategies, Manchester United has weaknesses too. Among these is a fact that seems to have emerged whereby, due to a large fan and customer base, this team has introduced too many products in the market to exploit the available channels of income. There is doubt whether there were consultations with fans as part of its stakeholders on the kind of products to be introduced in the market. On the other hand, it is difficult for this team to monitor and follow up on the products that are doing extremely well on the market resulting in high revenues and those that are not. There is also of focus on football game and instead the company has concentrated more on its business earning. This is a weakness that can easily ground this team since the football game is its backbone (Thinking Made Easy 2008).
There are various opportunities that are available to this company. While it has been a challenge in venturing into the US market with its merchandise, Manchester United Company has been working on coalescing with the New York Yankees with an aim of not only promoting football in this country but of also introducing their precious merchandise on the US market, which would increase the risks if Manchester United ventured in this market alone (Thinking Made Easy 2008).
However, it is important to recognize that the opportunities that are presented to Manchester United Company do not guarantee automatic success. This is because it is not a monopoly in this market. There are other competitors in the market such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea who have for a very long time threatened to take the position held by this club in terms of financial growth, state of play and business. It can also be noted that the English teams are not the only competitors. There are also the Spanish teams which have performed equally well on the market and can easily overtake Manchester United if there are no appropriate strategies that are laid in place. Another threat to this team is its leadership. This is because of the current leadership has been trusted by the fans and other partners of this club and any transition can easily affect this team (Thinking Made Easy 2008).
Manchester United has a bright future due to the position it has curved for itself in the market and also in the football arena. Having been able to secure a large number of fans, this teams needs to work on how to convert these fans into merchandise customers. As a result of this, it stands a better chance of leading both in the field and in business. On the other hand, there are various challenges that need to be tackled and fixed once and for all. Among them is the issue of financial debt that resulted from the owners of this club borrowing money from bank at a premium interest rate. According to the Telegraph (2010), the Glazer family that bought this team through a loan from bank has to come up a strategy that would enable them to reduce borrowing and work on repaying the remaining amount of the loan. Without doing this, Manchester United will land into financial problems.
The current economic challenges have not only affected the government but have also impacted negatively on different companies within the economies that are affected. Among the economies is the United Kingdom with Manchester United as one of the company that has been impacted negatively by the current economic crisis.
On the other hand, the decisions and strategies employed by Manchester United have been found to have both positive and negative impact on its growth with its business sector being in a position of shifting the focus from the core mission of this company i.e. promoting football to exclusively doing business. This can endanger the future of this company on the global markets. On the other hand, the current debt of this team remains to be a nagging issue that needs to be approached with a lot of precision to avoid plunging this company into financial problems.

U.S., Ivoirian Special Operations Forces Sharpen Skills to Counter Violent Extremists
U.S. and Cote d'Ivoirian special operations forces conduct joint combined exchange training in Cote d'Ivoire on July 5, 2021. (AFRICOM)
Special Operations Command Africa forces concluded Joint Combined Exercise Training with Côte d'Ivoire Forces Speciales Ivoirennes in Abidjan and Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire, July 9, 2021.
"Training alongside partners not only sharpens our military skills but also builds the relationships we all need in difficult times," said U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Jamie Sands, commander, U.S. Special Operations Command Africa . "We are proud to work alongside our Ivoirian counterparts as they face violent extremist encroachment on their northern border."
The JCET program's primary purpose is to provide special operations units specific training to hone military skills. JCETs often enhance U.S. relationships with partner nations by developing and maintaining critical military-to-military connections and improving joint and allied readiness and interoperability.
"Today, the level of professionalism required of those who wear a uniform is higher than ever before," U.S. Ambassador to Côte d'Ivoire Richard Bell said at the closing ceremony. "Security is fundamental to creating an environment conducive to progress. Mutual trust between authorities and civilians is crucial – it is precisely this trust that the enemy is trying to break."
These engagements are part of a series of U.S. engagements with the Côte d'Ivoire military that provide opportunities for units to work together, learn from each other, build interoperability, and strengthen relationships.
Côte d'Ivoire, a partner contributing to regional security, is scheduled to host one of the training locations for Flintlock 2022. Flintlock is the premier special operations exercise in Africa with 30 participating nations.

Network bridge explained
A network bridge is a device that divides a network into segments. Each segment represent a separate collision domain, so the number of collisions on the network is reduced. Also, because each collision domain has its own separate bandwidth, a bridge also improves the overall network performance.
Unlike hubs, bridges allow multiple devices to send at the same time. This is why there are considered to be predecessors of network switches.
A bridge works at the Data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, just like a switch does. It inspects incoming traffic and decide whether to forward it or filter it. Each incoming Ethernet frame is inspected for destination MAC address. If the bridge determines that the destination host is on another segment of the network, it forwards the frame to that segment.
Consider the following network:
In the example above we have a network of four computers. The network is divided into segments by a bridge. Each segment is a separate collision domain with its own bandwidth. Let's say that Host A wants to communicate with Host C. Host A will send the frame with the Host C's destination MAC address to the bridge. The bridge will inspect the frame and forward it to the segment of the network Host C is on.
Network bridges offered substantial improvements over network hubs, but are not widely used anymore in modern LANs – switches are commonly used instead. Here is why:
most bridges have only 2 or 4 ports. A switch can have tens or even hundreds of ports
bridges are software based, while switches are hardware-based and use chips (ASICs) when making forwarding decisions, which makes them much faster than bridges
switches can have multiple spanning-tree instances, bridges can have only one
switches can have multiple broadcast domains (one per VLAN)

OSI & TCP/IP models
OSI model
OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model was created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an international standard-setting body. It was designed to be a reference model for describing the functions of a communication system. The OSI model provides a framework for creating and implementing networking standards and devices and describes how network applications on different computers can communicate through the network media.
The OSI model has seven layers, with each layer describing a different function of data traveling through a network. Here is the graphical representation of these layers:
The layers are usually numbered from the last one, meaning that the Physical layer is considered to be the first layer. It is useful to remember these layers, since there will certainly be a couple of questions on the CCNA exam regarding them. Most people learn the mnemonic "Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away":
So, what is the purpose of these layers?
They are most commonly used by vendors. They enable them to implement some functionality into a networking device, which then enables easier interoperability with devices from other vendors.
Here is a brief description of each of the layers of the OSI model.
Physical – defines how to move bits from one device to another. It details how cables, connectors and network interface cards are supposed to work and how to send and receive bits.
Data Link – encapsulates a packet in a frame. A frame contains a header and a trailer that enable devices to communicate. A header (most commonly) contains a source and destination MAC address. A trailer contains the Frame Check Sequence field, which is used to detect transmission errors. The data link layer has two sublayers:
1. Logical Link Control – used for flow control and error detection.
2. Media Access Control – used for hardware addressing and for controlling the access method.
Network – defines device addressing, routing, and path determination. Device (logical) addressing is used to identify a host on a network (e.g. by its IP address).
Transport – segments big chunks of data received from the upper layer protocols. Establishes and terminates connections between two computers. Used for flow control and data recovery.
Session – defines how to establish and terminate a session between the two systems.
Presentation – defines data formats. Compression and encryption are defined at this layer.
Application – this layer is the closest to the user. It enables network applications to communicate with other network applications.
It is a common practice to reference a protocol by the layer number or layer name. For example, HTTPS is referred to as an application (or Layer 7) protocol. Network devices are also sometimes described according to the OSI layer on which they operate – e.g. a Layer 2 switch or a Layer 7 firewall.
The following table shows which protocols reside on which layer of the OSI model:
The TCP/IP model was created in the 1970s by the Defense Advance Research Project Agency (DARPA) as an open, vendor-neutral, public networking model. Just like the OSI model, it describes general guidelines for designing and implementing computer protocols. It consists of four layers: Network Access, Internet, Transport, and Application:
The following picture show the comparison between the TCP/IP model and OSI model:
As you can see from the picture above, the TCP/IP model has fewer layers than the OSI model. The Application, Presentation, and Session layers of the OSI model are merged into a single layer in the TCP/IP model. Also, Physical and Data Link layers are called Network Access layer in the TCP/IP model. Here is a brief description of each layer:
Link – defines the protocols and hardware required to deliver data across a physical network.
Internet – defines the protocols for the logical transmission of packets over the network.
Transport – defines protocols for setting up the level of transmission service for applications. This layer is responsible for reliable transmission of data and the the error-free delivery of packets.
Application – defines protocols for node-to-node application communication and provide services to the application software running on a computer.
Differences between OSI and TCP/IP model
There are some other differences between these two models, besides the obvious difference in the number of layers. OSI model prescribes the steps needed to transfer data over a network and it is very specific in it, defining which protocol is used at each layer and how. The TCP/IP model is not that specific. It can be said that the OSI model prescribes and TCP/IP model describes.
Network hubs explained
A hub serves as a central point to which all of the hosts in a network connect to. It is an OSI Layer 1 device and has no concept of Ethernet frames or addressing – it simply receives the signal from one port and sends it out to all other ports. Here is an example 4-port Ethernet hub (image source: Wikipedia):
As mentioned above, hubs have no way of distinguishing out which port a signal should be sent to; instead, an electrical signal is sent out each port. All nodes on the network will receive data, and the data will eventually reach the correct destination, but with a lot of unnecessary network traffic:
In the example above you can see that the hub has sent out the receiving signal out all other ports, except the incoming port. Hubs are therefore considered obsolete and switches are commonly used instead in modern LANs. Hubs have numerous disadvantages over switches, such as:
they are not aware of the traffic that passes through them
they create only one large collision domain
a hub typically operates in half duplex
there is also a security issue with hubs since the traffic is forwarded to all ports (except the source port), which makes it possible to capture all traffic on a network with a network sniffer!
Hubs are also known as multiport repeaters because that is basically what they do – repeat the electrical signal that comes in one port out all other ports (except the incoming port).
What is a network?
A computer network can be described as a system of interconnected devices that can communicate using some common standards (called protocols). These devices communicate to exchange resources (e.g. files and printers) and services.
Here is an example network consisting of two computers connected together:
In the example above, the two computers are directly connected using a cable. This small network can be used to exchange data between just these two computers.
What if we want to expand our network? Then we can use a network device, either a switch or a hub, to connect more than two computers together:
Now all of the devices on the network can communicate with each other.
We'll talk more about hubs and switches in just a moment. For now, just remember that these devices serve as a central point to which all of the computers connect to.
