Here you will find a step by step walk through of our campaign builder and funnel mapper (visual map) features. This will allow you to build and share your campaigns and content as a marketable product within the Kartra software.
Before we begin, there are some notes and terminology to consider:
A campaign is a collection of Kartra based content that can be shared with other Kartra users. They can import the content into their own Kartra account from a campaign; such as sequences, broadcasts, checkouts, and any other Kartra based feature. A campaign can also have a "visual map" attached to it to show how the campaign's content is intended to function.
A "Visual Map" or "Funnel Mapper" is a graphical representation of a funnel. This is not a feature that has a tangible action within the Kartra software like a campaign would have. To clarify further, this visual map is more akin to a image rather then an actual funnel used to show how a funnel will function; and is often attached to a campaign.
You can find full procedures on the content within this technical documentation:
Campaign Walk-through
Funnel Mapper (Visual Map) Guide
This walk-through will be a step by step guide on how to create a campaign within the Kartra software. A campaign being a Kartra feature that allows you to combine a variety of Kartra based assets to share with other users or to organize content on your own account.
*Please note: User created content within a campaign such as a uploaded image in a Kartra page is not duplicated when you provide a campaign to another user. If you delete that image in your content on your account as an example, it will remove the image from all other users that are utilizing that campaign. This is important to know when managing / deleting past campaigns as this can drastically affect existing campaign users. If you use stock images and content from Kartra then this behavior should not occur, even if you delete the campaign on your end. We highly recommend the use of stock images and Kartra based templates to ensure continued campaign functionality even in the case of removal or account closure.
The first step will be to access the campaign tab via the left menu within Kartra and clicking either the "+ campaign" button to create a new campaign or editing an already existing campaign.
Once you name and describe your campaign the first step will be to provide a preview for the campaign. This will be a image or video that will display on the campaign itself within the Kartra interface.
Once you have created a campaign preview you can then click "Save and next" to move on to the next step.
*Please note: In order for a campaign to be created and show in Kartra you must complete all steps of a campaign builder until you reach the "finish" step. If you do not go through all the steps on your first campaign creation at least once the campaign will not be saved or created (despite clicking "Save and Next" multiple times).
The "Assets" tab is where you will add your Kartra based content into the campaign for sharing. Whatever content you put within this feature will be the content that is uploaded into any user who downloads / uses this campaign.
*Please note: Just because you add content to a Funnel (Visual map) does not mean it will be added to the assets of the campaign. Since the Funnel (Visual Map) is a separate feature, you will still need to add any pages or other content into the "Assets" tab to ensure they will be given to anyone who uses the campaign.
The "Marketplace" tab is how you will set your privacy options for the campaign as a whole. You can keep the campaign private, which means you need to utilize a sharing code to give access. Or you can list the campaign on the Kartra marketplace where it will be available to the public.
*Please note: Keeping a campaign private does via this step does not mean it cannot be shared. Private vs. public is merely when relating to the Kartra marketplace only.
Upon setting a campaign to be shown within our marketplace, you will see a variety of new tabs to manage your content via our public forum.
Free or Paid
Pitch your campaign
Share Visual Map (Funnel)
Send the campaign share code
Share code email
Free or Paid:
When sharing your content via a public forum you will have to choose whether or not customers will have to buy the campaign or if they merely have to opt-in.
Paid services will require the customer to purchase via a product you have setup on your account while free options require them to fill out an opt-in form. Either way a lead will be added to your Kartra account.
We also allow our users to setup a user-locked share code. This is on by default and ensures only one person can use a given code. Turning this off will allow people to share the code around to multiple users.
Pitch your campaign:
The pitch builder will be the content shown to leads before they opt-in or purchase your campaign. In short, this is the information that will show when the "click" the campaign to see more information.
Users can add elements such as images, video, and text to create a short "blog" about their campaign.
*Please note: You are not limited to one of these options and can add multiple ones as different elements.
*Please note: You cannot move sections within this mini-builder and you will want to ensure you add each section in the correct order / location.
Share Visual Map: (Also known as a Funnel)
This step allows for a variety of options on how to share / use the Visual Map (Funnel) created within the Funnel builder. This includes showing the full visual map (Funnel), the visual map (Funnel) with a simulation of the data within it, and not sharing any visual map (Funnel).
A visual map (Funnel) is a graphical representation of a campaign. This has no real affect on any Kartra content and is meant to create a means to show how a campaign will function. Most notably when you complete and share your visual map (Funnel), it will have different viewing and download options when presented to users via the marketplace.
You can find a comprehensive walk-through on our visual map builder here: https://documentation.kartra.com/visual-map/
Send the campaign share code / Share code email:
Though separate sections these two tabs are related to each other. When a user opts-in or purchases a campaign via the Kartra marketplace our system will need to send them a share code. "Send the campaign share code" involves setting up the email gateways that will be used to send the email. The "share code email" tab is a typical email editor that will allow you to customize the email your leads will receive when getting the email for the share code.
*Please note: It is important that the campaign_code dynamic variable be added to the email, otherwise the leads who purchase or request this campaign will not be able to see a share code in the emails they receive.
Once you "Save and Next" via the sharing section of the campaign builder your campaign should be completed and will show up within the "campaigns" tab located here: https://app.kartra.com/campaigns
And with that you are done! Congratulation on setting up your campaign!
This feature allows our Kartra users to create a visual representation of a campaign; known as a Funnel. This visual representation can also be downloaded as an PDF or shared as a Kartra URL if the Funnel designer so chooses.
*Please note: This is not a functional bit of content and is more akin to a image or a simulator. As actual campaign content will still need to be added separately during the creation of a campaign; the creation of a Funnel will not create the campaign.
To begin editing this feature you will need to select "+ Funnel" button on the Funnels tab under campaigns, then you will have to create a name with a description, and finally where you will then be redirected to the Visual Map (Funnel) builder (a feature similar to our Page and Sequence builders).
*Please note: This builder does not have an auto-save feature and you will want to save your content periodically via the "Actions" drop-down menu to ensure you do not lose your progress on designed content.
Here is an example of what the builder will look like:
In the left hand column via "Assets" you will find any assets that can exist within the Kartra software:
As you drag any of this content into the builder you can either reference an already existing Kartra based asset or you can create a "placeholder" (in case you have not created the asset yet).
*Please note: You can toggle a view to see placeholders via the menu option at the top of the screen.
There is also the "Actions" option which allows you to set markers that create a graphical representation of a consumer behavior:
And finally you can add graphical representations of where your lead traffic is coming form via the "Traffic" options:
Once you drag your assets, actions, and traffic icons into the main body of the builder you can then proceed to connect them via the arrow options on the sides of the boxes.
*Please note: This is just a graphical representation of a funnel's design and there is no direct functionality tied to the arrows mentioned in this image.
Upon completion of your design the final step will be to click "Save and Exit" from your "Actions" menu in the top right.
This should then exit you out of the builder and take you back into the Funnel tab. Where you will see your funnel shown in the list.


I am an aspiring stained glass artist, but that doesn't usually travel with me, for obvious reasons. I currently have 2 rescued dogs that now have a happy, stable home.
I travel for work to many places around the world and would prefer staying in someone's home, taking care of their pets over staying in a hotel.
I do not have house sitting experience, however, I have lots of pet sitting experience as I was a sitter for Rover.com for 2 years and had several repeat customers. I also run an Airbnb out of my house and know what it means to take care of a house.
Gaye has taken care of my 2 Golden Retrievers at her home for a long weekend and the dogs were very comfortable in her care. She is very responsible and has a great home to accommodate them. I would use her service again in a heartbeat.

Sermon – Change & Decay?
The newly retired Moderator of a fellow Scottish Presbyterian Church has an Internet blog, written in his capacity as a Parish Minister in his particular denomination.
He seems to spend virtually every post, criticising, condemning, and commentating negatively on the Kirk.
According to this narrow minded bigoted view, the Church of Scotland has become apostate, heretical, unbiblical – because of recent decisions made by our General Assembly and by words spoken by individual ministerial colleagues. He has actually gone as far as to suggest that the Kirk deserves to die – an appalling and unsavoury remark from a fellow Christian minister.
In the immortal words of Dad's Army's Private Fraser (John Lawrie – from just down the road in Dumfries), "We're doomed. Doomed, I tell ye!"
Certainly, there is a lot happening within the Kirk that is causing strain and stress.
Take for example, the Assembly's discussion and debate on the Overture regarding Ministers in Same Sex Marriage. Although that comparatively brief discussion was, on the whole, conducted in a civilised manner, before this, there has been so much bile, unpleasantness, and a downright lack of Christian charity.
Several ministers and some congregations have left the Kirk as a result.
Last Saturday, at the Assembly, 215 commissioners voted against the Overture. 339 voted "for".
Division, disagreement, disruption
Over the years, numerically, we are in decline….. for many different reasons – such as members becoming older and sadly being no longer with us; of younger people who have no interest; of some long term members who – for whatever the reason – have just given up.
The way we were – St Mary's Church, 1901
I was ordained in 1974. Then Kirk membership was about a million. 42 years on – it's standing at around 370,000.
I remember sometime around 1990, a member of staff from the Church Offices came to address my then Presbytery – Lothian.
He talked about church decline by way of membership numbers, and mentioned that if the trend continued, Edinburgh (our neighbouring Presbytery) would have no members by 2029 – and would effectively disappear.
Friendly rivalry caused many of us there at that evening's meeting to guffaw – though it was no laughing matter.
He paused for a moment, then said: "I don't know why you're laughing; YOUR Presbytery will disappear the year after – in 2030!"
But – let's say this…..
The Church still stands.
Despite knock backs, despite setbacks, despite the downward trajectory we seem to be on – we're still here….. we always will be.
Do you remember the story of Christ arriving in Heaven, and being asked how many folk he'd left to carry on, and he answers "Twelve"
"Twelve!" comes the incredulous reply, "Is that all?"
And he answers, "It's enough".
Things may not get as few as that here, but think of how the Church is actually growing – in Africa, Russia, China…… that's more than enough!
I read yesterday that in 1900, there were 8 million Christians in Africa. Now there are 335 million. And the growth rate continues to accelerate.
For Christianity the 20th century was numerically the most successful century since Christ was crucified. By 2010, there were 2.2 billion Christians in the world, 31% of its population.
And we stand for something.
Societal patterns are changing, as are attitudes, and as is need.
What is Church? It's a group or congregation. Very often interpreted as people coming together on – usually a Sunday – to sing hymns, listen to the Minister say prayers (as to actually praying themselves) and listening to a sermon for ten/fifteen minutes…. then going home for lunch.
That may be "being" Church…. but "doing" Church involves more, so much more.
Helping, feeding, caring for those in need should be the 'why' of what we, if we truly want to "do", not the how or the what. Following Christ's teaching demands that we share the essentials of life unconditionally.
This is integral not peripheral, the beginning and not a side-line or optional extra. Jesus' unequivocally states that we encounter ultimate meaning when we treat others as we would wish to be treated, love others as we love ourselves and meet the needs of the vulnerable, excluded and marginalised.
This is the imperative which drives and shapes the Church and its existence as a servant community, taking us back to Christ's theology as found in his Parable of the Kingdom in Matthew 25
And the Church doesn't stand still
If you cast your mind back to the short address I gave near the beginning of today's service – about the dog and the rabbit……
Let me – as it were – turn it around a bit…… and remind you of that wonderful poem written by Francis Thomson – The Hound of Heaven…..
"I fled Him, down the nights and down the days; I fled Him, down the arches of the years; I fled Him down the labyrinthine ways Of my own mind; and in the midst of tears I hid from Him…"
Thomson's story is punctuated by sorrow, failure and addiction. The squalor and self-medication of his age come through in every chapter of his life, ultimately ending in his death at age 48. But Thompson's real legacy is not the opium that consumed his body, but the paw prints of a Hound he says relentlessly pursued his soul.
Thompson knew that Hound as the God Who draws sinners to Himself even as they flee from His voice, a dauntless Hunter of hearts.
In the 1930's Stalin ordered a purge of all Bibles and all believers. In Stavropol, Russia, this order was carried out with vengeance. Thousands of Bibles were confiscated, and multitudes of believers were sent to the gulags-prison camps-where most died, unjustly condemned as "enemies of the state."
An American missionary team were many years later to discover that there was a warehouse outside of town where these confiscated Bibles had been stored since Stalin's day.
They got permission to remove them, helped by several Russians .
One helper was a young man-a skeptical, hostile agnostic who had come only for the day's wages. As they were loading Bibles, one team member noticed that the young man had disappeared. Eventually they found him in a corner of the warehouse, weeping.
He had slipped away hoping to take a Bible for himself. What he did not know was that he was being pursued by the "Hound of Heaven." What he found shook him to the core.
The inside page of the Bible he picked up had the handwritten signature of his own grandmother. It had been her personal Bible. Out of the thousands of Bibles still left in that warehouse, he stole the very one belonging to his grandmother-a woman, who throughout her entire life, was persecuted for her faith.
the "Hound of Heaven" who had tracked him down to that very warehouse with devastating effect.
Jesus is truly the ever-present, all-seeing "Hound of Heaven." He can still track us down wherever we're hiding!
He called that young Russian man and how many more like him will he seek and find!

Jack Spong (article in the Herald)
Church to meet over preacher's lectures
PLANS for two Scottish lectures by a controversial American preacher are to be discussed by Church of Scotland figures at a meeting next week.
Glasgow Presbytery is expected to seek to address concerns raised by some Church figures over the booking of Bishop Jack Spong – an Episcopalian who rejects the idea of a supernatural God and does not believe Christ died for man's sins – at Cairns Church, Milngavie, and Orchardhill Parish Church in Giffnock.
He is due to lecture at the two churches' Thinking Allowed series of events that will take place over the coming months. Each of the October lectures costs £12 per ticket.
Mr Spong, who also rejects the virgin birth and believes the resurrection was not a physical rising, has attracted admirers and critics alike. The preacher has been firmly in favour of Christian churches permitting homosexual clergy, but the points thought to have raised concerns are over his wider outlook to Christianity.
The meeting at the presbytery is expected to address issues over Mr Spong's views on the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is still a single God.
A Church of Scotland spokesman said no concerns were raised with the presbytery over Mr Spong's views on gay ordination and the public lectures are expected to go ahead as planned.
a comment by the Rev Louis Kinsey in his Blog "Coffee with Louis" copyright
If the matter is to be discussed, I do hope that the Presbytery will remember that the church is not a university lecture hall, where all manner of ideas are debated and theories tossed around. Instead, the members of our congregations are the flock of God, to be shepherded and fed, not confused and scattered. Whilst we must all be open to what the Spirit has to say, we should also remember that the Spirit never says anything to the Church that contradicts the holy scriptures, given by the Spirit's own inspiration.
These are precisely the moments, and there are likely to be more and more of them to come, when members of Presbyteries, in this case Glasgow, will need to get to their feet if need be and speak up for Christ and for His people, for scriptural orthodoxy and truth, with courage and unity. We must all be ready to pray for one another at these crucial times, and not be found wanting or indifferent.

Gratitude, Appreciation and Praise
A few years ago a group of studies was carried out: the "Family Strengths Research Project" It identified six qualities that make for strong families. The first quality and one of the most important to be found in strong families was the quality of appreciation. Families that are strong are strong in part, it was discovered, because family members express to each other their appreciation for what the other members DO and for who they ARE.
In a similar study another researcher looked into the effect of praise in the workplace. His study showed that the ratio of praise to criticism in the workplace needs to be four to one before employees feel that there is a balance – that there must be four times as much praise as there is criticism before they feel good about their work and about the environment they work in. That is pretty staggering information – information that tells us that if we want to do something good, that if we want to have a healthy family, a strong workplace, or any other effective group that we need to be sure that appreciation, praise, and thanksgiving are heard at least four times as often as is criticism. Praise and thanksgiving are important – and not just to our families and our workplaces, but in the end important to us as individuals before God.
God asks us for our thanksgiving – whether we feel like making it or not – so that we might experience the blessings it brings – blessings it brings to us, and blessings it brings to others.. Look around you – find that which is good and thank God for it – find that which is caring and thank God and the person who is doing it – look around – look inside – look outside – and think on that which is noble and true and beautiful and express your praise for it – express it no matter what the bad or the ugly may be up to.. God is hid in the ordinary routine events of our life – our practice of thank-giving will bring him to our sight and in so doing bring to others and ourselves a better world.

Why not $0, with two year contract? That would be a wow factor.
hi. is galaxy s2 best phone?i would like to buy it but i am not sure.what is your idea?
pollux, 22 Sep 2011If you do the math.. You->18*35=630 pounds American->15*24+199.99=559.99 dollars If y... moregood point pollux, well played, your way is cheaper but at least mine's 18 month I suppose.
Anonymous, 23 Sep 2011please explain how the asian version is better. i'm curious. let us know :)I have two of the Samsung Galaxy S2 which I bought from Asia and travel with it to USA , Europe and south America. It works every where on all Bands & 3G. Works on AT&T.
The only matching 3G band is 2100 :( but I'm from India and mostly I will be using the 2G GSM network. I think it should be fine. Right?
It's an Android phone man. Who cares about bloatware or carrier lock. It is fundamental for every Android user to mod their phones to their liking.
big head, 22 Sep 2011$199.99!!! i got mine (sim free) for free on £35 a month 18m contract. glad im not american.If you do the math..
If you take into consideration the pound-dollar exchange rate you'll see that you will pay 963.9 in dollars at the end of the 18m. You're paying almost double on contract than no contract price in the US.
You should be paying a max of 366 pounds just to be even with the american price.
EdB, 22 Sep 2011I don't think so. Apple doesn't have to jump through hoops with bloat ware and different modif... moreThe carriers DO make the demands. The iPhone was an exception to the rule because of two reasons.
First, the iPhone started out as an exclusive for AT&T. Everyone knew that if you had an iPhone it was from AT&T. The carrier also didn't need to try and fill the phone with AT&T branded apps because they didn't have to compete with other carriers who had the same phone and try to make their version better. There was ONLY their version. They didn't need to modify the iPhone to make them stand out from the other carriers because simply having the iPhone itself is what made them stand out.
In addition, unlike other phones there simply wasn't any direct competition. With the GS2 there are alternatives. HTC, Motorola and other companies make alternative Android phones with similar specs. The GS2 may be better but it's nowhere near as unique as an Apple phone. If Samsung wasn't willing to make carrier specific versions than the carriers would simply go with a manufacturer who would. The carrier would still sell phones but Samsung would be left out in the cold. The carrier has all the power. Do it their way or they don't sell your device and you have no market in the USA. With the iPhone however there was no alternative so Apple had the power. The carrier could get the iPhone on Apples terms or they didn't get the iPhone at all.
$199.99!!! i got mine (sim free) for free on £35 a month 18m contract. glad im not american.
Everyone! US Market version S2 is NOTHING compared to Asian Market version of S2! It's all the US Carrier's fault! Don't blame Samsung if you don't like the changes. Galaxy S2 is th BEST phone so far, I DITCHED iphone 4 it n BEST CHOICE EVER!.
AnonD-23131, 22 Sep 2011Guys I have doubt. I am not from the US n waiting for the T mobile SGS2 to come out. I plan ... moreno it wont. cause the version or att and tmobile have different frequency they catch. if you know the ones in your town then look up the att model or tmobile and make sure it has the ones you need for your town. they both have verything the same but att runs of a signal of 1900mhz and tmobile runs of 1700mhz but they dont have both. most universal phone have both with work almost everywere.
Tha is RIP OFF in U.S. by this particular carrier. Now way you would have to pay 140 GBP for device. I got mine for free and only pay 25 pounds a months.2 year contract. Unlimited data. 500min 600 text + 60 international minutes all inclusive.I am sorry for you guys have to put on with that.
AnonD-23131, 22 Sep 2011Guys I have doubt. I am not from the US n waiting for the T mobile SGS2 to come out. I plan ... moreAFAIK, u cant use it because i unlock it @ tmobile shop/counter.
"It is the fault of Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile who insisted on having their own specific versions with different hardware, carrier logos and carrier apps (and then the carrier testing to make sure all the changes they demanded work correctly on their networks)." agree with previous comments. AT&T - are you going to be the next General Motors and need bail out money from the fed????

Case Studies » Lending limit doubled for new NI Small Business Loan Fund
Lending limit doubled for new NI Small Business Loan Fund
The new NI Small Business Loan Fund can now provide loans of up to £100,000 for small businesses, sole traders and partnerships that find it difficult to access funding through traditional sources. This is double its previous lending limit of £50,000.
Since it launched in 2013, the Fund has supported almost 400 local businesses by providing over £7.5million in loans. The new fund has an increased loan level of £100,000 with the potential to lend over £8million to local SMEs, helping them to invest, grow and create jobs. Start-up enterprises can obtain initial loans of up to £15,000.
Ulster Community Finance Ltd (UCF) has been appointed manager of the new fund.
Making the announcement, William McCulla, Invest Northern Ireland's Director of Corporate Finance said: "The first Small Business Loan Fund made a significant contribution to small businesses in Northern Ireland, ensuring SMEs could access the type of finance needed to support their growth. The new Fund will continue this success, providing much needed finance to businesses that find it difficult to access funding through traditional sources."
Harry McDaid, UCFs CEO said: "We are delighted to be appointed as managers of the second Small Business Loan Fund. The first Fund supported a wide range of businesses across Northern Ireland, providing scope for capital investment, new product development and geographic expansion. In the process, jobs were created and employment protected.
"Companies such as Portadown based Iota used the fund to develop and manufacture its innovative negative pressure unit, aimed at contractors operating within the asbestos removal industry. The company is currently working to generate sales in Canada, New Zealand and Europe.
"I would encourage small businesses with a legitimate funding need to get in touch to see how we can support their ambitious business plans."

SIR - You will remember during the summer I wrote saying that if I received £1 for each time I saw a car driver using a mobile phone, I would be a millionaire by Xmas.
I would like to revise my forecast to the end of October. Things have got steadily worse, simply because no one enforces the law.
Perhaps the council should be asked to levy the appropriate fines. They would collect a fortune and that would benefit all of us.

Made from real natural wood from Australia and around the world – in an exciting and wide range of grain patterns such as stripes, fiddle-back and quilted figure. This range also includes less common veneers like Black Heart Sassafras, special veneers such as NSW Coachwood and highly valuable veneers such as burls. Suitable for low-wear and dry vertical interior applications where character and uniqueness are required. Supplied raw at a thickness of around 0.6mm, veneer then goes through several stages such as pressing, sanding and clear coating to make the finished product on substrate.

Discussion in 'Mac Apps and Mac App Store' started by florencevassy, Jan 15, 2006.
I have been running cocktail for over a year about once a week without any problems (to clean cache, update prebinding, repair permissions).
Today I tried to run it and it just seems to hang, it has been on "Repairing disk permissions" for about an hour. This is my third try running it today and I have restarted my PowerBook twice. I am not having any other problems with my PowerBook at the moment.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks a lot.
What OS are you running? 10.4.4? If so, is Coctail updated for 10.4.4?
I haven't updated OS X since I started using Cocktail. Thanks.
If you're running Panther, and have updated to iTunes 6.0.2 this past week, it's likely to be due to a much-reported issue with the new iTunes package causing the Disk Management Tool to fail.

That worked too! I am not very technical and I don't know about receipts, do you know why that works as well? Thanks again.

The Countryside and Community Research Institute (CCRI) is working in partnership with the University College of Estate Management (UCEM) and the Royal Agricultural University (RAU), who led a successful bid for funding to stimulate and support enhanced leadership in the land management and agri-food sectors, post Brexit, that meets the challenges of the 21st Century.
£1.1m of funding for the project was awarded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) through its Catalyst Fund, in December 2017. [1]
The funding period is between April 2018 and end of March 2021.
The project brings together academics from different disciplines and the partner organisations who will work alongside a group of industry stakeholders.
The RAU will be offering two new postgraduate programmes from September 2019, followed by two new undergraduate programmes in 2020. This new offer will focus on leadership in the food and agri-business sector, rural policy and strategy, agro-ecology, sustainability and innovative land management.
A range of experts from the food supply chain, farming, land management, banking and NGOs, are supporting the project. Involving industry partners in programme co-design and delivery will create an 'innovation bridge' with industry and ensure there is sustained and meaningful engagement with students, preparing them to lead future change in their careers.
UCEM is a leader in digital delivery and will build an appropriate infrastructure enabling programme delivery as supported online learning, accelerated degrees and part-time programmes, thereby providing truly flexible learning opportunities upon which people already in the workplace can capitalise.

The overall aims and objectives of the project are:
To establish a new academic team working in key disciplines who will build an "innovation bridge" and develop a programme offer that reflects the sectors' emerging needs;
To build academic capacity in key disciplines This new team will include specialists in- agro-ecology; sustainable food supply chains and international agri-food business; animal welfare; rural leadership and behaviour change and policy.
To develop a new undergraduate and postgraduate programme offer This suite of complimentary programmes, championed by the new academic team, working in partnership with existing academics at the RAU and the CCRI and the wider sectors, will be designed to meet the sustainable land management and the agri-food sectors' increasing need for holistic thinkers and innovative leaders with a local and global outlook:
1 x MBA programme - Leadership in Sustainable Food & Agri-Business
1 x MSc programme –Sustainable Rural Policy & Strategy
2 x BSc programme – Agroecology and Sustainable Land Management
These new programmes will be co-designed with industry partners and all will involve students engaging with industry (placements, internships, project assessments etc.).
In addition, the RAU will enhance and extend its existing portfolio of PG and UG programmes in agriculture, food, business management and rural land management following a "Brexit focused" module review.
All new post graduate programmes will be offered as full time, part time and blended (distance plus block teaching) routes. Accelerated PG learning will offered for the MBA via an Executive MBA route, depending on industry demand. The two BSc programmes will be offered as 3 or 2 year (accelerated learning) degrees.
The CCRI is a key HE partner in this project, which includes four joint CCRI/RAU appointments with one of them being based solely at the CCRI.
Rationale for the project
Brexit offers a once in a lifetime opportunity for the agri-food sector to embrace new approaches to managing land and the food supply chain that enable increased productivity while ensuring the welfare of habitats, animals and rural communities. It also creates an historic opportunity for the UK to develop gold standard policies for agriculture, land use, biodiversity, animal welfare, habitat and resource management etc. that meet the demands of the twenty-first century in terms of climate change and economic, environmental and social resilience
Addressing the post Brexit paradigm will require farmers, land managers and those employed in the agri- food (and drink) sectors to develop new skills and knowledge. Labour shortages must be addressed. Improved collaborative leadership and greater innovation will be essential to succeed, following the current mantra of 'get bigger, get out or do something different'. Adaptive capacity and greater resilience will be required and the ability to learn and adjust to embrace both change and innovation. Larger commodity producers will seek new export markets, entrepreneurial activities and further sustainable intensification, while smaller farmers may need to focus on local environmental delivery, niche/value added markets, diversified incomes and more collaborative land management arrangements.
The overall impact on the sector highlights the need for leadership and innovative solutions to land management, environmental and governance issues.
[1] HEFCE closed as an organisation on 31 March 2018. The Office for Students (OfS) was established as the new regulator for higher education in January 2018 and began operations in April 2018, taking over many functions from HEFCE. The OfS will therefore continue to monitor the investment in this initiative.

Q: Installing SKPM (Sketch Plugin Manager) via npm I've been attempting to install a npm package, which has been throwing a bunch of errors which I'm not too familiar with. Keep in mind that these errors are after executing sudo npm install -g skpm:

Originally I'd thought that I needed to install keytar to make this work, but after installing I still had the same errors.

A: Avoid use sudo npm -g install
During gyp compilation you will have such problems again and again.
Fixing permissions is the solution.
Quote from npm docs:

You can fix this problem using one of three options:

*

*Change the permission to npm's default directory.

*Change npm's default directory to another directory.

*Install Node with a package manager that takes care of this for you. You should back-up your computer before moving forward.

  Option 1: Change the permission to npm's default directory
Find the path to npm's directory: npm config get prefix For many systems, this will be /usr/local.
WARNING: If the displayed path is just /usr, switch to Option 2 or you
  will mess up your permissions.
Change the owner of npm's directories to the name of the current user
  (your username!):
sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}
This changes the permissions of the sub-folders used by npm and some other tools (lib/node_modules, bin, and share).
Option 2: Change npm's default directory to another directory
There are times when you do not want to change ownership of the
  default directory that npm uses (i.e. /usr) as this could cause some
  problems, for example if you are sharing the system with other users.
Instead, you can configure npm to use a different directory
  altogether. In our case, this will be a hidden directory in our home
  folder.
Make a directory for global installations:
mkdir ~/.npm-global
Configure npm to use the new directory path:
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
Open or create a ~/.profile file and add this line:
export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH
Back on the command line, update your system variables:
source ~/.profile
Test: Download a package globally without using sudo.
npm install -g jshint
Instead of steps 2-4, you can use the corresponding ENV variable (e.g. if you don't want to modify ~/.profile):
NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=~/.npm-global
Option 3: Use a package manager that takes care of this for you.
If you're doing a fresh install of Node on Mac OS, you can avoid this
  problem altogether by using the Homebrew package manager. Homebrew
  sets things up out of the box with the correct permissions.
brew install node

A: usually EACCES: permission denied occurs trying to install a package globally (with -g) without providing permissions. Supposing that you are on os with sudo, try call
sudo npm install -g skpm

or, if you don't want it global
npm install skpm

A: I found the issue as to why skpm was not installing.
Make sure you install x-code + command line tools access
This fixed the issue and SKPM installed.

Here's why we want a 'Selling Sunset' spinoff for Christine
Maybe it's quarantine, the desire to watch something different, or just looking for some good old fashion reality TV, but Selling Sunset has blown up over the past few weeks. Season 3 just hit Netflix in August, and there's plenty of drama for fans to digest between Christine's wedding, Chrishell's divorce, and Davina just being awful as usual.
After season 3 of Selling Sunset though, fans are wondering when Netflix is going to sign off on a Christine Quinn-focused spinoff. One of the original faces of the Oppenheim Group, Christine has become a fan favorite on the show for consistently speaking her mind and her top notch looks.
It doesn't hurt Christine just did a very honest interview with Vogue that made us fall in love with her even more. We're all on the same page now: We need a Christine-focused Selling Sunset spinoff.
A close look at her own business
Christine has said in a few interviews since season 3 premiered she's looking into starting her own real estate business. While she doesn't have a lot of specifics, Christine has made it clear she wants to set up her own business and work on her own.
As Christine puts it in her interview with Vogue, "A spin-off solo show would be a great idea, I'm so tired of sharing screen time with those five other bitches – I'm done. Give me my own show already!" Imagine getting to see her new business from close up?
Never afraid to tell the truth
Christine is known as the "mean girl" on Selling Sunset because she's not afraid to speak her mind. Sure, it gets her into trouble, but it also keeps her honest, and also, we're in love with the drama it causes. Off-screen, Christine isn't afraid to open up and tell the truth, even if it's a bit TMI at times.
When people ask Christine about her killer looks, she'll openly admit a lot of her is fake. "I tell people all the time: I got my boobs done, I get my lips done, tons of Botox, tons of make-up. How I look on [Selling Sunset] is not how I look when I wake up in the morning." she revealed to Vogue. We know we'll get even more honest Christine in a spinoff.
Miss Independent
"Don't wait for a knight in shining armour, build your own castle. I knew I wanted to meet a rich husband, but first I wanted to be my own rich husband. I wanted to work hard, be independently wealthy and be a self-made millionaire — which I did." She's been independent for so long, Christine could easily hold her own in a solo show.
We mean, talk about a woman who knows what she wants! Christine has bragged about her now-husband's wealth and achievements on Selling Sunset season 3, but she's got her own trophy room full of achievements. Between her achievements as a model in her early 20s, to the big sales she's accomplished as a real estate agent, Christine made her wealth before her man came along. That's independence.
Christine's style
Really, her lewks are the main reason we want a Selling Sunset Christine spinoff. The clear style icon of Selling Sunset, Christine serves look after look throughout season 3, and that's exactly what we need more of.
Imagine: A Christine-centered show would mean nearly every scene would feature a new bomb lewk from the real estate agent. It's the show we deserve. So Netflix, get on the Christine Quinn spinoff that we Selling Sunset fans deserve.

Oliver C. Allison was a missionary with a long record of service in the Sudan–a total of 35 years serving in various capacities.
The son of an English clergyman, Allison was the second of four boys. He was born in Stafford, England on May 28, 1908. He received Christ as his personal Savior when he was fourteen years old. As a young boy he was greatly influenced by the life and works of famous missionaries such as Hannington and Mackay, who were both missionaries in Uganda. He regarded these men as his heroes and mentors, and although he never actually met them, he very much wanted to follow in their footsteps.
Allison spent one year at Cambridge University Mission in Bermondsey where he gained experience in Christian education by teaching the Gospel before seeking theological training for the ordained ministry. He was ordained in 1932 and served for three years as a part-time curate in Boscombe. At the same time, he was also the youth secretary in the Diocese of Winchester.
It was through Bishop Guy Bullen, who then was assistant bishop in the Sudan that Allison came to know about Sudan. At this time Allison offered to join the Church Missionary Society (CMS). His desire was to serve in the Nuba Mountains region in northwestern Sudan. God answered his prayer, and on September 30, 1938 he traveled to Sudan. After three weeks at sea, he arrived Port Sudan and continued his journey on a train to Khartoum where he met Bishop Gwynne, the first Anglican and CMS missionary to set foot on Sudanese soil.
After staying in Khartoum for a while, he was informed that, he would go to Juba in South Sudan to work there. This complete change in his original plan came, of course, as a surprise to him but it made him realize that God intended him to start work in South Sudan, rather than in the Nuba Mountains, and so he accepted the change without a complaint.
The journey from Khartoum to Juba took fifteen days on board a steamer sailing southward on the White Nile. On arrival, he attended the annual conference of the CMS Gordon Memorial Sudan Mission, which was always held in January. There he met great missionaries like Archdeacon Archibald Shaw, Canon Ewell, Canon Paul and Mary Gibson. He was put in charge of the Bari Parish in Juba where he not only served as a parish priest but was also responsible for primary education and for church services for the English speaking congregation in Juba. It was at this time that he realized the necessity of knowing the Bari language and started seriously studying it. To familiarize himself with the extent and the nature of his parish jurisdiction, he immediately went on a tour of the whole Juba District.
Allison had a gift for talking with people, and so during this trip, he made a lot of friends among the local people–teachers, school children, chiefs, and indeed, all the people in his parish and beyond. Because he talked a lot, the people always described him as the talkative "Bwana." Bwana is a Kiswahili word with a variety of meanings but here it is used as a title of respect for all the white missionaries. In fact, the Episcopal Church of the Sudan until recent years, was known by the local people as "the church of bwana" in contradistinction with "the church of padre" (the Roman Catholic Church).
While he was officially designated to work among the Bari-speaking people, Allison also served among the Dinkas at Malek. It is worth noting here that the Bari, Nyangwara, Mundari, Pojulu, Kuku, and Kakwa tribes all speak the Bari language. So, for purposes of clarity, it is better to refer to these groups as the Bari-speakers or Bari-speaking tribes, as they would want to be called. This will also save us from confusion when referring to the Bari tribe itself.
Yona Lawi, Allison's house helper, accompanied him on all his tours of the district. Yona also made it easier for Allison to pick up the Bari language within a reasonably short period of time for he spoke fluent Bari after only one year in Juba.
In 1947, when he was at Malek, he received a letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury, informing him of his appointment to the office of assistant bishop in the Sudan. This appointment was made by Bishop Morris Gelsthorpe, who became the first bishop of the new Diocese of Sudan in 1945. Allison was consecrated on April 25, 1948 in St. Alban's Abbey in the United Kingdom, thus becoming an assistant to Bishop Morris Gelsthorpe.
In 1952, Allison succeeded Gelsthorpe as bishop of the Diocese of Sudan. He was not only bishop for the Sudan, but he also had responsibilities for Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, and Eden. He served both the local communities and the British nationals who lived in these countries. He attended Episcopal synods in Cyprus, Egypt, Iran, Sudan, and London. In his time, the church in the Sudan expanded greatly. He confirmed thousands of Christians and ordained more deacons and priests. It was during Bishop Allison's episcopate that the Rt. Rev. Daniel Deng Atong was consecrated as the first Sudanese bishop in 1955. In 1963, more Sudanese were consecrated as assistant bishops, namely Elinana J. Ngalamu and Yeremaya K. Datiro. Allison visited all the parishes in his diocese once a year.
Bishop Allison's life journey was not without danger. On one journey, the plane in which he was travelling crashed into the Red Sea, but Bishop Allison managed to swim ashore. One time he was travelling in a plane from England to Sudan and their plane was hijacked and forced to land in Benghazi, Libya. On another journey, their plane developed an engine problem in the air but fortunately did not crash. He also had several car accidents but always escaped unhurt.
Most of the time he spent in the Sudan, Bishop Allison had no fixed abode. When he arrived in the country, he was immediately transferred to Juba, where he lived for a period of eight years. In 1947 he was transferred to Malek in the Upper Nile Province, and in 1948, he stayed in Khartoum for a short period of time. He also lived for short periods in both Maridi and Lainya. When the Clergy House in Khartoum was confiscated by the Sudanese government in 1974, the bishop had no house until his retirement as the bishop of the Diocese of Sudan in 1976.
Bishop Allison witnessed the suffering of the South Sudanese Christians at the hands of the Arab Muslim government. He was a witness to the events that took place between 1947 and 1955 which led to the mutiny of the Equatoria Corps, thus marking the beginning of the long war between the Christian South Sudan and the Arab Muslim government of North Sudan, which has continued up to this day. He also witnessed the enactment of the "Missionary Society's Act 1962," according to which all Christian missionaries were expelled from the Sudan. During the Khartoum incident in December 1964 when thousands of South Sudanese living in Khartoum were killed by Arab Muslims, Bishop Allison became a host to hundreds of South Sudanese who took refuge in the Clergy House. He witnessed the dispersion of the Christians in 1965, when the shooting and killing of South Sudanese in the southern towns of Juba and Wau was carried out by the Sudanese government army. Many South Sudanese had to flee to Congo, Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Central Africa Republic, to live the life of a refugee. Truly, Bishop Allison shared with the Sudanese Christians their times of grief and sorrow and never forgot these incidents.
He kept in close contact with all those who were in exile. Where possible he visited them and saw their physical conditions. With his help, many men and women were trained while in exile for service in the Church of Christ in the Sudan. (But God Is Not Defeated, p. 92).
Rev. Canon Clement Janda confirmed this when he wrote: "We were kept together by sharing stories told by the roving Bishop Oliver Allison. He informed us of what was happening to the other Episcopalians in other parts of the world; but more particularly in Eastern Africa." (ibid., p. 25).
As mentioned earlier, Bishop Allison made many friends in the Sudan. The Arab Muslim administrators both in South Sudan and in the north were always willing to listen to him when he expressed his views on the Sudanese conflict. Both the southern and northern peoples of the Sudan found in Oliver the spirit of love. He always told the Sudanese people–especially the Arab Muslim authorities in the north–about love, emphasizing that peace could only be achieved through dialogue.
He retired as bishop of the Diocese of the Sudan in 1976 and went back to England. He died in June 1989.
This story is partly taken from the profile of Bishop Oliver Allison written by Gordon Tikiba, in Samuel E. Kayanga and Andrew Wheeler, eds., But God Is Not Defeated, Celebrating the Centenary of the Episcopal Church of the Sudan, 1899 - 1999 (Nairobi, Kenya: Paulines Publications Africa, 1999), pp. 90 - 93.

Q: What's the difference between Control.Select() and Control.Focus()? In WinForms, to set focus to a specific control, I always seem to wind up calling Control.Select() and Control.Focus() to get it to work.
What is the difference, and is this the correct approach?

A: For an example of how they are different, if you are trying to set a control for a Forms App to default focus to when you open it, only Select() will work when called in the constructor after InitializeComponent().  Focus() will not.

A: Focus() is the low level function that actually sets the focus.
Select() is a higer-level method. It first looks iteratively upward in the control's parent hierarchy until it finds a container control. Then it sets that container's ActiveControl property (to the called control). The logic in those methods is not straightforward however, and there is special handling for UserControl containers.

A: Just to add to this thread I found that when writing a user control that moved other controls from one form to another (newly created form).  The original form could no longer select the control but using focus allowed it to do so.  I think this emphasises the answers about the levels these methods work at.  But it also means it is not simple enough to say use Select at the higher level since select no longer worked as expected on the orginal form (not that it should being I placed it into a different form - I accept that)

A:
Focus is a low-level method intended primarily for custom control authors. Instead, application programmers should use the Select method or the ActiveControl property for child controls, or the Activate method for forms.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.focus.aspx

A: Focus(), in some situations, can cause a window owning the control to gain focus if it didn't have focus. Select() does not cause a focus grab by the window.

A: From personal experience I wrote a user control inheriting the Windows ComboBox. I had to write code to override the OnEnter event and I had a statement in there saying
If Me.Focused Then ... Else ...

However, unfortunately it returned the unexpected result. If I called MyCustomerComboControl.Select (in either Load, Shown or Activated events) it called the OnEnter method but failed to register it had the focus (i.e. Focused was False) but if I called Focus it worked. Furthermore Select worked if the form was open i.e. if I selected another control then re-selected the original control all was fine. So in any other circumstances other than my scenario, use Select because it says so above.

Back to the drawing board to save water
26 March 2018 Photo Pixabay
We've managed to damage nature's 'filter' with air, ocean, and soil pollution, and by destroying wetlands.
Dr Cindé Greyling, a University of the Free State (UFS) DiMTEC (Disaster Management Training and Education Centre for Africa) alumni, studied drought mitigation with a strong focus on communicating important water-saving information.
Can we run out of water?
Yes, and no, says Dr Greyling. "To our knowledge, water is not 'leaking' through our atmosphere. We have what we have, but that doesn't mean we will have enough clean, fresh water forever. Nature has a magnificent way of purifying water through the water cycle. We, on the other hand, must use a lot of money and energy to purify water. Also, we've managed to damage nature's 'filter' with air, ocean, and soil pollution, and by destroying wetlands. The other problem is a simple supply and demand scenario. More people will need more water, but not only that, population growth calls for industry development and increased food supplies – all of which require more water."
A war over water
Besides some Hollywood impressions, it is difficult to imagine a war over water, but it is possible. "Some experts are convinced that we are heading there, and others claim that such tensions already exist. Personally, I don't favour these kinds of shock tactics (or truths) – social research has shown us that it rarely leads to behavioural changes. We can learn a lot from what was has been done in Cape Town. Although we all think people were bombarded with 'Day-Zero'-scares, they were actually encouraged to adapt their behaviour with a communication campaign that hardly ever used the term 'Day-Zero'. This approach mobilised citizens to reach record lows of water usage."
Adapt a new normal
Dr Greyling encourages the "new normal" set in motion by Capetonians. "Water consciousness is needed, even when the rain comes again. We've taken water for granted for too long. As consumers, we have the power to turn this situation around – drop for drop. Be aware about the amount of water you use, how you use it, and for what. Keep in mind that any wastage and pollution (of 'dry' things) also wastes and pollutes water. Generally, we need to behave better regarding consumption."
Council votes on appointment of senior staff
The Council of the University of the Free State (UFS) today voted on the filling of three senior vacancies, including one post at Dean level and two at the level of Vice-Dean.
The Council voted as follows:
Dr Natie Luyt will be offered the post of Dean: Student Affairs Prof Engela Pretorius will be offered the post of Vice-Dean: Faculty of Humanities Dr Choice Makhetha will be offered the post of Vice-Dean: Student Affairs
"There are special challenges for the UFS in the short and medium term regarding transformation of our residences, and a certain combination of management qualities and skills is desirable. As a result of the diversity of the UFS's student community it is therefore important to us to follow a team approach to deal with the challenges. With the combination of Drs Luyt and Makhetha, I believe we will be able to manage student affairs effectively and skillfully," says Prof Frederick Fourie, Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the UFS.
"It is wonderful that we are able to celebrate the outcome of this process that has brought forward such excellent candidates who reflect our country's diversity. It shows that we can achieve the goals of quality and diversity at the same time," says Prof Fourie.
Prof Pretorius obtained all her qualifications (BA, BA (Hons) (cum laude), MA (cum laude) and D Phil) from the UFS, except for the Certificate in Gender Policy Management (cum laude) which she obtained in 2000 from WITS. She joined the Department of Sociology at UFS in 1980 and has headed the Department since 2001. She acted as Vice-Dean: Faculty of Humanities since July 2004. She has some thirty publications to her credit, published both nationally and internationally and has delivered 20 national and international papers. She is a member of the South African Sociological Association and is a member of the Council of the association and of the Editorial Board of Society in Transition, the society's journal. She is also a member of the South African Academy for Science and Art and the Federation of African Women Educationalists in South Africa (FAWESA). Project involvement includes the Australian Women's Executive Development Programme and the project Executive Development of Senior Women in South African Higher Education Institutions. She is also an NRF panelist.
Dr Luyt obtained his qualifications (BA, BA (Hons) (cum laude), MA (cum laude) and D Phil) at the UFS and started his career at the same institution in 1980 as lecturer in Political Science. He was promoted to senior lecturer in 1983 and appointed as Director: Student Affairs in 1997. He has been acting as Dean: Student Affairs since 2003. Dr Luyt completed several work-related training courses, among others a course in ethnic and multiculturality at the Swiss Institute for Federalism and a course in conflict management at the South Tyrolean Economic and Social Institute.
Dr Makheta also obtained all her qualifications (BA, BA (Hons), MA in Political Science and Ph D in Political Science) at the UFS and started working as a student assistant in Political Science at the same institution in 1999. She was promoted to junior assistant in 2000, coordinator and facilitator of Political Science in 2001, assistant/acting Director: Student Affairs in 2001 and acting Director: Student Affairs in 2003.

GTA V and The Legend of Zelda: Dumbing down or moving on?
Benjamin AbbottFriday 18 Oct 2013 12:40 pm
It's brilliant to see how a well-loved franchise can mean so many different things to gamers across the world, and the comments on my recent The Legend of Zelda piece demonstrated this admirably.
That divide raises some fascinating questions on where the series should go next, but what caught my eye more was an accusation of the series 'softening' its approach for newcomers.
Although I don't necessarily agree, it's a problem I suspect every successful developer finds themselves faced with when they strike gold. What a conundrum; do you try and branch out to increase your audience (games are there to be sold, after all), or do you stick to your guns to please the faithful?
When precisely do you begin selling out what made your IP great in the first place?
From the fans' side of the fence, attempting to attract fresh blood is seen as an exorcism of the depth they adore. I suppose it brings on a sense of being demeaned; a suspicion that the enjoyment of the faithful is deemed less important than increased sales, true or not.
take Grand Theft Auto V. You know as well as I do how fantastically that sold, and it never compromises its hardcore credentials at any stage.
This comes part and parcel with a worry that mechanics have been diluted for that hateful accessibility, lessening the experience in the process. To a degree, I can genuinely understand why some see this as a betrayal of the original game's core.

For everyone else, on the other hand? It could be a welcome change which makes them want to jump in for the first time, and it's a little unfair to willfully exclude those individuals.
Such an initiative doesn't always have to dumb down a franchise in order to succeed either. In the case of Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, one of 2011's most complex titles became the second highest-grossing game of that year.
If you want another example, take Grand Theft Auto V. You know as well as I do how fantastically that sold, and it never compromises its hardcore credentials at any stage. Ergo, attracting a broader audience doesn't always have to mean a departure from what made that IP so beloved (though I wouldn't ever say this isn't occasionally the case).
Following on from this train of thought, broader audiences can actually be a benefit if you look at it from the right angle. Greater sales might lead to a bigger budget. This allows developers to add in more appealing content for everyone, expanding their scope and their vision. I get where core gamers are coming from, yet sometimes I think we forget that streamlining complicated mechanics isn't an inevitable spiral into mediocrity. Games must change and evolve to survive.
There's no right or wrong here, of course, and it must be very difficult – if not outright impossible – for developers to walk that line and please us all. The only thing I'm certain of is that it's a can of worms with no perfect outcome.
To me, it seems more important to honour the 'essence' of a property rather than being faithful to intricacy. Deciding what lies at the heart of a series, however? That's the difficult part. As shown by my Zelda blog, you can't always keep everyone happy.

Abstract: Objective Code generation is the key to realize the numerical controlled (NC) machining of mortise and tenon joint, but the traditional NC programming is difficult, inefficient and over-dependent on CAM software. So it is necessary to develop an intelligent programming system for the numerical controlled mortise and tenon joint.Method Firstly, the joints were classified by group technology, and a parameterized artifact database was established based on the extraction of joints ' dimension parameters. Intelligent dimension matching was implemented by transforming plentiful process experience and existing research results into functions. Then, the standard NC code template of each joint was set up according to template technology, and these standard NC code templates constituted the module of toolpaths. We used expression algorithm to complete the instantiation of code templates. The change of machining parameters leaded to the change of values in NC code templates, so the NC codes can be programmed automatically, the parameterized and modularized NC programs can be achieved. Based on the principle of post-processing, the compensation of NC code was achieved through the add-in that can calculate the compensation value automatically. At last, on the basis of those researches, an intelligent programming system for numerical controlled mortise and tenon joint was developed by the visualization program VB.Result Combined with the actual authoring of three-way mitered joint part, the feasibility of the system was verified. By checking the dimensions of the processed part, the accuracy of the machining codes generated by the system was also verified.Conclusion This system is simple, stable and efficient. It can simplify the programming process and generate program NC codes automatically. The system is helpful to transform processing of mortise and tenon joint from experience type to knowledge-based type.

Occupy Baltimore protesters set a new scene Tuesday for their stand against corporate greed and social injustice: a red-brick rowhouse in Union Square where a 65-year-old widow has made her home for nearly six years.
As many as 100 protesters gathered outside Lila Kara's house, where faded American flags occupy a curbside flower bed, to block the Baltimore City Sheriff's Office from evicting the Bulgarian immigrant — at least for a day.
The action is an evolution of Baltimore's version of the three-month-old national movement, when protesters camped at McKeldin Square.
Chris Lavoie, a Towson University art professor from Hampden, said the Occupy protesters used the Inner Harbor encampment as a springboard to grow their localized movement around the issues that excited or enraged them. Fraudulent foreclosure is among the issues they have pledged to fight, Lavoie said, along with matters such as the planned youth detention center downtown.
The protesters were evicted peacefully from their encampment Dec. 13.
Kara, who works in merchandising, said she reached out to the Occupy protesters for help when she received an eviction notice. She said she would have to pay more than $50,000 to bring her mortgage up to date and that her loan is for $138,000 more than her home is worth. Her house has been in foreclosure for about three years. She has tried unsuccessfully to modify her loan and has a pending court case to appeal foreclosure.
"At least for one day I will not think about this," Kara said.
The sheriff's office scheduled the eviction for Tuesday, but Capt. Sam Cogen, deputy chief of operations, said the office postponed it because of the protest. Cogen said the office is evaluating its options and is sympathetic to the situation.
Still, Cogen said the eviction is expected to proceed and could occur Wednesday. The sheriff has an obligation to act on the court order, he said.
Kara said she will continue to pack up and make temporary living arrangements but hoped Tuesday's protest would give her a month to sort out the situation.
Athena Tsakos, a 30-year-old activist from Pigtown, said Tuesday's effort was part of the vision for local Occupy protesters from the start.
"We've always had plans to fight injustice," Tsakos said. "Foreclosures around the country are a huge injustice, the way people have been rammed through the process. People are not getting due process. This is just one avenue, one voice of our larger cry."
Lila Kara, (second from left) a 65 year old homeowner, joins members of Occupy Baltimore as they gather around her home at 1433 W. Lombard street in west Baltimore. The group was attempting to prevent a sheriff's eviction because of Mrs. Kara's home being in foreclosure. The sheriff never arrived, which caused the eviction to be postponed.

BWP – Botswana Pula
Country: Botswana
Code: BWP
Symbol: P
The pula is the official currency of Botswana, and it is used in an unofficial capacity in Zimbabwe. This decimalized currency is divisible into hundredths in units called thebe. The name of the currency comes from the Setswana language and translates into "rain." Because the climate of Botswana is so arid, rain is considered very valuable. The name of the subunit currency, thebe, is from the Setswana word for "shield."
Botswana was officially declared an independent nation in 1966. For the first 10 years, the country used the South African rand for its currency under an agreement called the Rand Monetary Area, which included several African countries. In 1974, a Botswanae commission decided to withdraw from the RMA, despite the advice of leading international financial experts, including those with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Although it was a risky move, it did have the advantage of allowing Botswana financial independence to pursue its own economic strategies. To this end, the Bank of Botswana was established in 1975 and the new Botswana pula was introduced in 1976. The day of issuance, August 23, remains a Botswana holiday called Pula Day.
The pula was introduced at an on-par rate with the South African rand. This allowed the banks to maintain their assets in rand as foreign reserves. At the time, the rand was pegged to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 1 rand: 1.15 USD. The following year, the pula was revalued against the rand by 5 percent. In 1979, a managed float system was enacted, but the peg on the U.S. dollar was not removed until 1980. After this, an exchange rate regime relying on a weighted basket of currencies was maintained. This remained in place until 2005, when a crawling band mechanism was adopted in which the rate of crawl is linked to the difference between Botswana's inflation objective and the predicted inflation of trading partners.
In the 1980s, the country's reserves grew substantially, and the Bank of Botswana was required to develop strategies for the management and investment of their new assets. The return from these strategies has been a major source of revenue for the country since this time. The Bank of Botswana, and the economy of the country as a whole, is one of the most stable on the African continent. The Bank went through a new reorganization in 2010 aimed at keeping the currency relevant on the international exchange.

Two women were killed in a car crash on July 10, 2018 on Berg Road in Southfield. (WDIV)
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - Police have released the identities of two young women who were killed in a crash early Tuesday morning on Berg Road in Southfield.
Marcia Gingles, 21, and Tyana Bryant, 20, both of Southfield, were killed when the vehicle they were passengers in crashed into a tree and rolled onto Berg Road near Civic Center Drive. Southfield police said the 20-year-old man behind the wheel of the car was turning from Northwestern Highway onto southbound Berg Road at about 6:10 a.m. when he lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree.
Police said the man ran from the scene, leaving behind the two women in the vehicle. Police located the man a short time later. He was given a preliminary breath test and was taken a to a hospital for a blood draw. He is expected to be arraigned on charges later this week.
Audrey Cameron witnessed the fatal crash and said she is praying for the families of the victims.
"I heard the car screeching ... and then the car, boom, boom, boom, and I saw a lot of smoke and I saw the debris," Cameron said. "The car rolled twice and it stopped, and at that time, I ran in the house and I called 911."
Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to get the victims out of the vehicle, which had rolled over onto Berg Road.
Anyone who may have witnessed it is asked to call the Southfield Police Department at 248-796-5500.
