digital cultural heritage: FUTURE VISIONS a landscape perspective
The adoption of the Charter on the Preservation of Digital Heritage by UNESCO in 2003, formally expanded the concept of heritage to encompass cultural works and informational products either 'created digitally, or converted into digital form'. The Charter was primarily a response to the concerns of institutions appointed to maintain repositories of public knowledge, such as museums, libraries and archives. The Charter affirms the role of such institutions and acknowledges opportunities to broaden access to historic resources through digital technologies. It also recognises the risks posed by technological obsolescence and the need to address supportive legislation for digital heritage. The Charter's focus has, however, since been criticised for taking too narrow a view of what has become a rapidly progressing environment of digital tools, technologies and applications.
The concept of heritage also expanded with the recognition of cultural landscapes as a distinct category of World Heritage in 1992. This was followed by the adoption of UNESCO's Convention for the Safeguarding the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2003, and Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape in 2011. While not as technologically seductive as the digital environment, cultural landscapes present unique preservation, presentation and sustainability issues associated with their spatial, temporal and intangible heritage qualities. The cultural landscape concept has similarly received criticism. Through failure to adequately articulate the dynamic nature of cultural heritage, the concept remains essentially conservation-driven and lacks the descriptive precision necessary to position cultural landscapes within mainstream planning and development frameworks.
Driven by these developments and criticisms, there has been significant interest in both digital heritage and cultural landscapes over recent years. The junction between the two, however, remains essentially under-explored. Digital technologies can improve conservation documentation and preservation techniques, enhance interpretation with interactive media, enrich archives with sensory experiences, and augment histories with crowdsourced data. Cultural landscapes can epitomise the nexus between cultural and natural heritage, acknowledge significant human interaction with environments over time, and recognise enduring intercultural dialogue across space, time and societies. Yet both can also provoke questions about authenticity, ownership and value, and challenge the concept of 'living heritage' and the sustainability of heritage values.
This conference seeks to explore the multiple implications and theoretical challenges of digital technologies for cultural landscapes. The conference will focus less on descriptive projects and more on how digital technologies can contribute to debates about the relationship between the cultural and natural past, present and future. What do we capture, commodify and experience using digital technologies and why? How are dynamic cultural landscapes interpreted, negotiated and represented and for whom? When should cultural landscapes be protected for future generations and how can they be managed sustainably for the present? The conference will focus on the emerging disciplines of digital cultural heritage and the established practice of heritage management, providing a platform for critical debate between those developing and applying innovative digital technology, and those seeking to integrated best practice into the preservation, presentation and sustainable management of historic cultural landscapes.

In this section, we apply the control framework to the generic system described above. Figure 9.6 presents a completed control matrix for the systems flowchart shown in Figure 9.5.
This matrix shows format and assumptions similar to those made in Figure 9.4. The recommended control plans listed in the first column in Figure 9.6 are representative of those commonly associated with controlling the data entry process when master data is available. Most of the control plans described with Figure 9.3 and Figure 9.4 may also be applicable. But, for simplicity, we will not repeat them here.
In this section, we first see in general terms how several of the control plans work.1 Then, Table 9.3 describes each of the cell entries in the control matrix. As you study the control plans, be sure to track where they are located on the systems flowchart.
P-1: Enter data close to the originating source. This is a strategy for capture and entry of event-related data close to the place (and probably time) that an event occurs. Online transaction entry (OLTE), online real-time processing (OLRT), and onlinetransaction processing (OLTP) are all examples of this processing strategy. When this strategy is employed, databases are more current and subsequent events can occur in a more timely manner. Because data are not transported to a data entry location, there is less of a chance that inputs will be lost (input completeness). The input can be more accurate because the data entry person may be in a position to recognize and immediately correct input errors (input accuracy). Finally, some efficienciescan be gained by reducing the number of entities handling the event data.
P-2: Digital signatures. Whenever data are entered from remote locations via telecommunications channels like the Internet, there is the risk that the communication may have been sent by an unauthorized system user or may have been intercepted/ modified in transit. To guard against such risks, many organizations employ digital signatures to authenticate the user's identity and to verify the integrity of the message being transmitted. To learn more about how digital signatures work, see Appendix 9A, and Technology Application 9.1.
P-3: Populate inputs with master data. Numeric, alphabetic, and other designators are usually assigned to entities such as customers, vendors, and employees. When we populate inputs with master data, the user merely enters an entity's identification code and the system retrieves certain data about that entity from existing master data. For example, the user might be prompted to enter the customer ID (code). Then, the system automatically provides information from the customer master data, such as the customer's name and address, preferred shipping method, and sales terms. Fewer keystrokes are required, making data entry quicker, more accurate, and more efficient. To ensure that system users have not made a mistake keying the code itself, they compare data provided by the system with that used for input. Finally, the entry cannot proceed without valid (authorized) master data that includes such items as terms and credit limits that were previously recorded via a data maintenanceprocess.
Input/master data dependency checks. These edits test whether the contents of two or more data elements or fields on an event description bear the correct logical relationship. For example, input sales events can be tested to determine whether the person entering the data is listed as an employee of that customer. If these two items don't match, there is some evidence that the customer number or the salesperson identification was input erroneously.
Input/master data validity and accuracy checks. These edits test whether master data supports the validity and accuracy of the input. For example, this edit might prevent the input of a shipment when there is no record of a corresponding customer order. If there is no match, we may have input some data incorrectly, or the shipment might simply be invalid. We might also compare elements within the input and master data. For example, we can compare the quantities to be shipped to the quantities ordered. Quantities that do not match may have been picked from the shelf or entered into the computer incorrectly.
How does each control plan listed in the control matrix in Figure 9.6work?
Explanation of control matrix cell entries. Armed with an understanding of the mechanics of certain control plans, let's now turn our attention to Table 9.3 —Explanation of Cell Entries for Control Matrix in Figure 9.6. Notice how data entry by the customer affects these controls. See whether you understand the relationship between each plan and the goal(s) that it addresses. Remember that your ability to explainthe relationships between plans and goals is most important.
P-1: Enter data close to the originating source.
Operations process goal A, Efficient employment of resources: This strategy places users in a position to process events immediately (i.e., no time taken to send to a data entry location). Being familiar with the input may allow the user to input events more quickly. In this processs, the direct entry of input data by customers eliminates the cost associated with the handling of the event data by additional personnel.
Input completeness: Because inputs are captured at the source, they are less likely to be lost as they are transported to the data entry location.
Input accuracy: Because customers are familiar with the event data being entered, they are less likely to make input errors and can more readily correct these errors if they occur.
Security of resources, Input validity: Digital signatures authenticate that the sender of the message has authority to send it and thus prevents the unauthorized diversion of resources.
Input accuracy: Detects messages that have been altered in transit, thus preventing input of inaccurate data.
P-3: Populate inputs with master data.
Operations process goal A, Efficient employment of resources: Direct entries of data by the customer should improve the speed and productivity of the event because the order entry department does not have to type in additional data about the customer's order after the customer submits it. In addition, direct customer entry means that the department does not need to reenter the original order information.
Input validity: The code entered by the user calls up data from existing records (e.g., a customer record, a sales order record) and those data establish authorization for the event. For example, without a customer record, the sales order cannot be entered.
Input accuracy: Fewer keystrokes and the use of data called up from existing records reduces the possibility of input errors.
P-4: Compare input data with master data.
Operations process goal A, Efficient employment of resources: Events can be processed on a more timely basis and at a lower cost if errors are detected and prevented from entering the system in the first place.
Input validity: The edits identify erroneous or suspect data and reduce the possibility of the input of invalid events.

Tesla Model S falls from cliff, gets totaled; owner walks with a scratch on his arm
by YeoPaper.com
A latest story of a Model S P90D crash from Puerto Rico is proving to be some of the exceptional but. Despite the automobile getting totaled from the incident, the driving force reportedly walked away from the wreck with simply a scratch on the arm. Needless to say, the crash has caught the eye of the web electrical automobile group, together with CEO Elon Musk, who preferred a Twitter submit in regards to the incident's aftermath.
Photos of the Model S P90D's wreck had been shared on Twitter by Tesla and electrical automobile advocate Elias Sobrino Najul, who famous in a later remark that he personally is aware of the individual concerned within the accident. As could possibly be seen within the photographs, which seem to have been taken after components of the automobile had been taken off by emergency responders, the crash was very severe. Any automobile much less secure than a Tesla might need resulted in one thing far worse than an arm scratch on the driving force.
The concept of a Tesla defending its passengers after falling off a cliff could sound loopy to some, however this has truly already occurred up to now. Back in June, a Model 3 loaded with passengers was concerned in a extreme accident alongside Highway 18 between Snow Valley and Big Bear Dam in Southern California. Based on investigators' accounts, the Model 3 appeared to be going at an unsafe pace, which resulted within the automobile falling off the side of a mountain. The drop was 100 toes.
Despite falling off a peak equal to about 9 tales, and regardless of coming to relaxation vertically on the mountainside, the Model 3 was nonetheless in a position to defend its passengers. All 4 occupants of the Model 3 had been in a position to depart the automobile's wreck. They had been later transported to a close by medical facility so they may get handled for minor and average accidents. Just just like the latest Model S crash in Puerto Rico, the California incident all however proved that Teslas are extraordinarily powerful autos.
Teslas could look very glossy and futuristic, however they will truly take a lot of injury and defend their occupants very effectively. This is basically attributable to a lot of things, from their heavy weight, their low middle of gravity, and their substantial crumple zones attributable to their lack of an inner combustion engine. This turned grimly evident in an incident again in 2019, when a Tesla Model S received concerned in a violent head-on collision with one other automobile in Barcelona, Spain. After the scary crash, which resulted in the one that crashed into the Tesla tragically dropping his life, the Model S driver could possibly be seen within the video getting out of his automobile after the incident, disoriented however in any other case unhurt.

During his interaction with DH, Kumaraswamy refuted the oft-cited concern that an elevated corridor network would only end up increasing the number of cars, defeating the project's objective of decongesting the city. "This will be for the public transport system. Not for cars. We're doing this to expressly curb air pollution," Kumaraswamy said.

Chicago's Wrigley Field granted top historic landmark status
Updated 11/21/2020 12:54 PM
CHICAGO -- Wrigley Field, the 106-year-old baseball shrine that's the Chicago Cubs' home, has been designated a National Historic Landmark.
U.S. Secretary of the Interior David L. Bernhardt announced the designation Thursday, saying the ballpark has played a significant role in Chicago's history and the history of professional sports.
'œThe historical significance of Wrigley Field is interwoven into our nation's story and a key part of what has become America's beloved pastime for over a century,'� he said in a statement.
The historic landmark status will give the Ricketts family, who own the Cubs and spent about $1 billion renovating the ballpark, access to federal income tax credits on the 'œ1060 Project'� that started at the end of the 2014 season.
National Historic Landmarks are buildings, sites, districts, structures and objects that have been determined by the secretary of the interior to be nationally significant in American history and culture, federal officials said.
Wrigley Field now joins other renowned historic places, including Fenway Park in Boston, among some 2,600 other landmarks across the country.
Built in 1914, Wrigley Field has been the home of the Chicago Cubs since 1916. The ballpark is two years younger than Fenway Park, is the second-oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, and is also the National League's oldest ballpark.

The Man of Sin
1 "As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him. 2 Now will I show you the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. 3 A mighty king shall stand up, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 4 When he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these. 5 The king of the south shall be strong, and (one) of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion. 6 At the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened her in those times. 7 But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, who shall come to the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail. 8 Also their gods, with their molten images, (and) with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north. 9 He shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land. 10 His sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through; and they shall return and war, even to his fortress. 11 The king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand. 12 The multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail. 13 The king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, (even of) years, with a great army and with much substance. 14 In those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among your people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall. 15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city: and the forces of the south shall not stand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to stand. 16 But he who comes against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction. 17 He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions; and he shall perform them: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him. 18 After this shall he turn his face to the islands, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yes, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn on him. 19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found. 20 Then shall stand up in his place one who shall cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle. 21 In his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 22 The overwhelming forces shall be overwhelmed from before him, and shall be broken; yes, also the prince of the covenant. 23 After the treaty made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people. 24 In time of security shall he come even on the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: yes, he shall devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time. 25 He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise devices against him. 26 Yes, they who eat of his dainties shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow; and many shall fall down slain. 27 As for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. 28 Then shall he return into his land with great substance; and his heart (shall be) against the holy covenant; and he shall do (his pleasure), and return to his own land. 29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former. 30 For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do (his pleasure): he shall even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 Forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual (burnt offering), and they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. 32 Such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and do (exploits). 33 Those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, (many) days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves to them with flatteries. 35 Some of those who are wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed. 36 The king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper until the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done. 37 Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in his place shall he honor the god of fortresses; and a god whom his fathers didn't know shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 39 He shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god: whoever acknowledges (him) he will increase with glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price. 40 At the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many (countries) shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 42 He shall stretch forth his hand also on the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 44 But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many. 45 He shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
This chapter contains a portion of those things which the angel said were written in "the scripture of truth," and which he came to disclose to Daniel. The revelation also embraces the twelfth chapter, and the two comprise the last recorded communication that was made to Daniel. The revelation which is made in these chapters not only embraces a large portion of history of interest to the Jewish people of ancient times, and designed to give instruction as to the important events that would pertain to their nation, but also, in its progress, alludes to important periods in the future as marking decisive eras in the world's history, and contains hints as to what would occur down to the end of all things.
The chapter before us embraces the following definitely marked periods:
I. The succession of kings in Persia to the time of a mighty king who should arouse all the strength of his kingdom to make war on Greece - referring doubtless to Xerxes, Daniel 11:1-2. Of those kings in Persia there would be three - three so prominent as to deserve notice in the rapid glance at future events - Cambyses, Smerdis, and Darius Hystaspis.
II. After this succession of kings, one would stand up or appear who would be characterized as ruling "with great dominion," and "'according to his will," Daniel 11:3. The dominion evidently would pass into his hand, and he would be distinguished from all that went before him. There can be no doubt, from the connection, and from what is said in Daniel 11:4, that the reference here is to Alexander the Great.
III. The state of the empire after the death of this mighty king, Daniel 11:4. His kingdom would be broken, and would be divided into four parts - referring doubtless to the division of the empire of Alexander after his death.
IV. The history then proceeds to notice the events that would pertain to two of these portions of the empire - the conflicts between the king of the south, and the king of the north - or between Egypt and Syria, Daniel 11:5-19. This portion of the history embraces, in detail, an account of the policy, the negotiations, and the wars of Antiochus the Great, until the time of his death. These kingdoms are particularly referred to, probably because their conflicts would affect the holy land, and pertain ultimately to the history of religion, and its establishment and triumph in the world. In the notice of these two sovereignties, there is considerable detail - so much so that the principal events could have been readily anticipated by those who were in possession of the writings of Daniel. The destiny of the other two portions of the empire of Alexander did not particularly affect the history of religion, or pertain to the holy land, and therefore they are not introduced. In a particular manner, the history of Antiochus the Great is traced with great minuteness in this portion of the prophecy, because his doings had a special bearing on the Jewish nation, and were connected with the progress of religion. The commentary on this portion of the chapter will show that the leading events are traced as accurately as would be a summary of the history made out after the transactions had occurred.
V. A brief reference to the successor of Antiochus the Great, Seleucus IV, Daniel 11:20. As he occupied the throne, however, but for a short period, and as his doings did not particularly affect the condition of the Hebrew people, or the interests of religion, and his reign was, in every respect, unimportant, it is passed over with only a slight notice.
VI. The life and acts of Antiochus Epiphanes, Daniel. 11:21-45. There can be no doubt that this portion of the chapter refers to Antiochus, and it contains a full detail of his character and of his doings. The account here, though without naming him, is just such as would have been given by one who should have written after the events had occurred, and there is no more difficulty in applying the description in this chapter to him now than there would have been in such a historical narrative. The revelation is made, evidently, to prepare the Jewish people for these fearful events, and these heavy trials, in their history; and also to assure them that more glorious results would follow, and that deliverance would succeed these calamities. In the troubles which Antiochus would bring upon the Hebrew people, it was important that they should have before them a record containing the great outlines of what would occur, and the assurance of ultimate triumph - just as it is important for us now in the trials which we have reason to anticipate in this life, to have before us in the Bible the permanent record that we shall yet find deliverance. In the twelfth chapter, therefore, the angel directs the mind onward to brighter times, and assures Daniel that there would be a day of rejoicing.
This chapter gives a more particular explanation of those events which were predicted in the eighth chapter. The prophet had foretold the partition of Alexander's kingdom into four parts. Two of these, in which were included Egypt and Syria, the one to the north, the other to the south, in respect of Judea, appear to take up the chief attention of the prophet, as his people were particularly concerned in their fate; these being the countries in which by far the greatest number of the Jews were, and still are, dispersed. Of these countries he treats (according to the views of the most enlightened expositors) down to the conquest of Macedon, A.M. 3836, b.c. 168, when he begins to speak of the Romans, vv. 1-30; and then of the Church under that power, Daniel 11:31-35. This leads him to speak of Antichrist, who was to spring up in that quarter, Daniel 11:36-39; and of those powers which at the Time of the end, or the latter days of the Roman monarchy, (as this term is generally understood), were to push at it, and overthrow many countries, Daniel 11:40-43. By the king of the South, in the fortieth verse, the dominion of the Saracens, or Arabs, is supposed to be intended, which was an exceeding great plague to the Roman empire in the east, and also to several papistical countries, for the space of one hundred and fifty years, i.e. from a.d. 612, when Mohammed and his followers first began their depredations, to a.d. 762, when Bagdad was built, and made the capital of the caliphs of the house of Abbas, from which epoch the Saracens became a more settled people. By the king of the North in the same verse the prophet is supposed by some to design that great scourge of eastern Christendom, the Ottoman or Othman empire, by which, after about a hundred and fifty years of almost uninterrupted hostilities, the Roman empire in the east was completely overturned, a.d. 1453. The chapter concludes with a prediction of the final overthrow of this northern power, and of the manner in which this great event shall be accomplished, Daniel 11:44, Daniel 11:45. But it should be observed that, notwithstanding the very learned observations of Bishop Newton and others upon this chapter, their scheme of interpretation presents very great and insurmountable difficulties; among which the very lengthy detail of events in the Syrian and Egyptian histories, comprising a period of less than two hundred years, and the rather uncouth transition to the incomparably greater transactions in Antichristian times, and of much longer duration, which are passed over with unaccountable brevity, are not the least. On all these subjects, however, the reader must judge for himself. See the notes.
In this chapter the angel makes good his promise to Daniel, that he would show him what was written in the Scripture of truth, concerning the monarchies of the earth, and what would befall his people the Jews in the latter days; and after he had observed that he had strengthened and confirmed Darius the Mede, who was the first king of the then present flourishing monarchy, Daniel 11:1, he foretells the number of the kings of Persia, and particularly describes the fourth, Daniel 11:2 predicts the rise of the Grecian monarchy under Alexander the great, and the disposition of it after his death, Daniel 11:3 and then proceeds to give an account of the two principal kingdoms of that monarchy, into which it was divided, the Seleucidae and Lagidae; and of their kings, the king of Egypt, and the king of Syria, under the names of the king of the south, and the king of the north, and of their power and agreement, Daniel 11:5 and then of their various wars between themselves and others, and the success of them, Daniel 11:7, and particularly of Antiochus, his character and manner of coming to the kingdom, and of his wars with the king of Egypt, and the issue of them, Daniel 11:21 and of his persecution of the Jews, and the distress he should bring on them, and the use it should be of to the godly among them, Daniel 11:30, and then his antitype, antichrist, is described; the western antichrist, his character and actions, Daniel 11:36 then the eastern, his power, wealth and riches, hail and rain, Daniel 11:40.
The vision of the Scriptures of truth.
The Revelation of the Future - Daniel 11:2-12:3
Proceeding from the present, the angel reveals in great general outlines the career of the Persian world-kingdom, and the establishment and destruction, which immediately followed, of the kingdom which was founded by the valiant king of Javan, which would not descend to his posterity, but would fall to others (Daniel 11:2-4). Then there follows a detailed description of the wars of the kings of the south and the north for the supremacy, wherein first the king of the south prevails (Daniel 11:5-9); the decisive conflicts between the two (Daniel 11:10-12), wherein the south is subjugated; and the attempts of the kings of the north to extend their power more widely, wherein they perish (Daniel 11:13-20); finally, the coming of a "vile person," who rises suddenly to power by cunning and intrigue, humbles the king of the south, has "indignation against the holy covenant," desolates the sanctuary of God, and brings severe affliction upon the people of God, "to purge and to make them white to the time of the end" (Daniel 11:21-35). At the time of the end this hostile king shall raise himself above all gods, and above every human ordinance, and make the "god of fortresses" his god, "whom he will acknowledge and increase with glory" (Daniel 11:36-39). But in the time of the end he shall pass through the countries with his army as a flood, enter into the glorious land, and take possession of Egypt with its treasures; but, troubled by tidings out of the east and the north, shall go forth in great fury utterly to destroy many, and shall come to his end on the holy mountain (Daniel 11:40-45). At this time of greatest tribulation shall the angel-prince Michael contend for the people of Daniel. Every one that shall be found written in the book shall be saved, and the dead shall rise again, some to everlasting life, some to everlasting shame (Daniel 12:1-3).
This prophecy is so rich in special features which in part have been literally fulfilled, that believing interpreters from Jerome to Kliefoth have found in it predictions which extend far beyond the measure of prophetic revelation, while rationalistic and naturalistic interpreters, following the example of Porphyry, from the speciality of the predictions, conclude that the chapter does not contain a prophetic revelation of the future, but only an apocalyptic description of the past and of the present of the Maccabean pseudo-Daniel. Against both views Kranichfeld has decidedly declared himself, and sought to show that in these prophetic representations "the prediction does not press itself into the place of historical development, i.e., that it does not concern itself with such future dates as do not connect themselves with the historical present of the prophetic author (Daniel), as the unfolding of religious moral thought animated by divine influence." This is on the whole correct. Here also the prophecy does not become the prediction of historical dates which do not stand in inner connection with the fundamental idea of the book, which is to announce the unfolding of the heathen world-power over against the kingdom of God. This vision, also, as to its contents and form, is accounted for from the circumstances of time stated in Daniel 10:1, and contains much which a supposed Maccabean origin makes in the highest degree improbable, and directly contradicts. First, it is "against the nature of a fictitious production which should be written in the time of the greatest national commotion, that the great repeated victories of the people over the Syrian power should have been so slightingly spoken of as is the case here (Daniel 11:34)," i.e., should be designated only as "a little help." Then the prophetic representation over against the historical facts of the case is full of inaccuracies; and these historical inconveniences are found not only in the description which had reference to the history of the times preceding the author, but also, above all, in the history of the times of the Maccabees themselves. Thus, e.g., in Daniel 11:40-45 an Egyptian expedition of Antiochus Epiphanes shortly before his death is prophesied, for which, besides Porphyry, no voucher and, in general, no historical probability exists (Kran.).
Kranichfeld, however, goes too far when he holds all the special features of the prophetic revelation to be only individualizing paintings for the purpose of the contemplation, and therein seeks to find further developed only the fundamental thoughts of the great inner incurable enmity of the heathen ungodly kingdom already stated in Daniel 2:41-43; Daniel 7:8, Daniel 7:20,Daniel 7:24; Daniel 8:8, Daniel 8:22, Daniel 8:24. The truth lies in the middle between these two extremes.
This chapter contains neither mere individualizing paintings of general prophetic thoughts, nor predictions of historical dates inconsistent with the nature of prophecy, but prophetic descriptions of the development of the heathen world-power from the days of Cyrus to the fall of the Javanic world-kingdom, as well as of the position which the two kingdoms (arising out of this kingdom) of the north and south, between which the holy land lay, assumed toward each other and toward the theocracy; for by the war of these two kingdoms for the sovereignty, not merely were the covenant land and the covenant people brought in general into a sorrowful condition, but they also were the special object of a war which typically characterizes and portrays the relation of the world-kingdom to the kingdom of God. This war arose under the Seleucidan Antiochus Epiphanes to such a height, that it formed a prelude of the war of the time of the end. The undertaking of this king to root out the worship of the living God and destroy the Jewish religion, shows in type the great war which the world-power in the last phases of its development shall undertake against the kingdom of God, by exalting itself above every god, to hasten on its own destruction and the consummation of the kingdom of God.
The description of this war as to its origin, character, and issue forms the principal subject of this prophecy. It is set forth in the revelation of the angel from Daniel 11:21 to the end (Daniel 12:3), while the preceding description, as well of the course of the Persian and Javanic world-kingdoms as of the wars of the kings of the north and the south (Daniel 11:2-20), prepares for it. But this preparatory description is not merely individualizing pictures of the idea of the incurable hostility of the heathen ungodly kingdom, but a prophetic delineation of the chief lines of the process which the heathen world-power shall pass through till it shall advance to the attempt to destroy the kingdom of God. These chief lines are so distinctly laid down, that they contain their concrete fulfilment in the historical development of the world-power. In like manner are so described the appearance and the wars of the enemy of God, who desolates the sanctuary of God and takes away the daily sacrifice, that we can recognise in the assault of Antiochus Epiphanes against the temple and the worship of the people of Israel a fulfilling of this prophecy. Yet here the foretelling (Weissagung) does not renounce the character of prophecy (Prophetie): it does not pass over into prediction (Praediction) of historical facts and events, but so places in the light of the divine foresight and predetermination the image of this enemy of God, and his wickedness against the sanctuary and the people of God, that it brings under contemplation, and places under the point of view of the purification of the covenant people for the time of the end (Daniel 11:35), the gradual progress of his enmity against God till he exalts himself above all divine and human relations.
From the typical relation in which Antiochus, the O.T. enemy of God, stands to Antichrist, the N.T. enemy, is explained the connection of the end, the final salvation of the people of God, and the resurrection from the dead, with the destruction of this enemy, without any express mention being made of the fourth world-kingdom and of the last enemy arising out of it; from which the modern critics have drawn the erroneous conclusion, that the Maccabean pseudo-Daniel expected the setting up of the Messianic kingdom in glory along with the overthrow of Antiochus Epiphanes. At the foundation of this conclusion there lies an entire misapprehension of the contents and object of this prophecy, namely, the idea that the prophecy seeks to furnish a historical sketch, clothed in an apocalyptic form, of the development of the world-kingdoms from Cyrus to Antiochus Epiphanes. In support of this error, it is true that the church interpretation given by Jerome is so far valid, in that it interprets the prophecy partially considered under the point of view of the very special predictions of historical persons and events, and from this view concludes that Daniel 11:21-35 treat of Antiochus Epiphanes, and Daniel 11:36-45 of Antichrist; according to which there would be in Daniel 11:36 an immediate passing from Antiochus to the Antichrist, or in Daniel 12:1 a sudden transition from the death of Antiochus to the time of the end and the resurrection from the dead. But the prophecy does not at all correspond to this representation. The Angel of the Lord will reveal to Daniel, not what shall happen from the third year of Cyrus to the time of Antiochus, and further to the resurrection of the dead, but, according to the express declaration of Daniel 10:14, what shall happen to his people בּאחרית היּמים, i.e., in the Messianic future, because the prophecy relates to this time. In the אחרית takes place the destruction of the world-power, and the setting up of the Messianic kingdom at the end of the present world-aeon. All that the angel says regarding the Persian and the Javanic world-kingdoms, and the wars of the kings of the north and the south, has its aim to the end-time, serves only briefly to indicate the chief elements of the development of the world-kingdoms till the time when the war that brings in the end shall burst forth, and to show how, after the overthrow of the Javanic world-kingdom, neither the kings of the north nor those of the south shall gain the possession of the dominion of the world. Neither by the violence of war, nor by covenants which they will ratify by political marriages, shall they succeed in establishing a lasting power. They shall not prosper, because (Daniel 11:27) the end goes yet to the times appointed (by God). A new attempt of the king of the north to subjugate the kingdom of the south shall be defeated by the intervention of the ships of Chittim; and the anger awakened in him by this frustration of his plans shall break forth against the holy covenant, only for the purifying of the people of God for the time of the end, because the end goes yet to the appointed time (Daniel 11:35). At the time of the end his power will greatly increase, because that which was determined by God shall prosper till the end of the indignation (Daniel 11:36); but in the time of the end he shall suddenly fall from the summit of his power and come to his end (Daniel 11:45), but the people of God shall be saved, and the wise shall shine in heavenly glory (Daniel 12:1-3).
Accordingly the revelation has this as its object, to show how the heathen world-kingdoms shall not attain to an enduring stability, and by their persecution of the people of God shall only accomplish their purification, and bring on the end, in which, through their destruction, the people of God shall be delivered from all oppression and be transfigured. In order to reveal this to him (that it must be carried forward to completion by severe tribulation), it was not necessary that he should receive a complete account of the different events which shall take place in the heathen world-power in the course of time, nor have it especially made prominent that their enmity shall first come to a completed manifestation under the last king who should arise out of the fourth world-kingdom. For that the Javanic world-kingdom shall not form the last embodiment of the world-power, but that after it a fourth more powerful kingdom shall arise - this was already revealed to Daniel in Daniel 7. Moreover, in Daniel 8 the violent enemy of the people of Israel who would arise from the Diadoch-kingdoms of the Javanic world-monarchy, was already designated as the type of the last enemy who would arise out of the ten kingdoms of the fourth world-kingdom. After these preceding revelations, the announcement of the great tribulation that would come upon the people of God from these two enemies could be presented in one comprehensive painting, wherein the assault made by the prefigurative enemy against the covenant people shall form the foreground of the picture for a representation of the daring of the antitypical enemy, proceeding even to the extent of abolishing all divine and human ordinances, who shall bring the last and severest tribulation on the church of God, at the end of the days, for its purification and preparation for eternity.


Police in British Columbia will be getting more money to support road safety.
The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) is cutting its annual advertising budget in half and redirecting those funds to police traffic enforcement.
Next fiscal year, ICBC will direct an additional $2.4 million for enhanced traffic enforcement throughout the province, bringing ICBC's total annual investment in road safety traffic enforcement to $24.8 million.
ICBC is extending its contract with its existing advertisement agency for one year, to use the agency's deep understanding of ICBC to help communicate more effectively and efficiently with customers about the changes coming to auto insurance in B.C.
ICBC has a funding agreement (Road Safety Memorandum of Understanding) with government to support enhanced traffic enforcement and related enforcement advertising.
Last year, there were 350,000 crashes in B.C. or about 960 per day — a record high.
ICBC will retain approximately $2.4 million in its advertising budget for the next fiscal year — money that will be spent educating British Columbians on the changes taking place to B.C.'s auto insurance system over the next 12 months, along with support for road safety enforcement campaigns.
ICBC road safety campaigns will also continue to be supported through social media, earned media and community outreach throughout the province.


Some of the landscape technology students from CPUT pictured with part of the paving laid during the Corobrik sponsored construction week.
Since 2013 landscape technology students at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) have benefited from a construction week sponsored by Corobrik. It provides an opportunity for the students to participate in a landscape design and construction project; this year the students constructed a paved pathway through a (to-be-constructed) medicinal plant garden that will be used to grow a variety of plants researched by researched by the Medicinal Plant Research group within the Faculty of Applied Sciences.
Approximately eighty students involved landscape technology across foundation, first and second years were involved. Students ranged across different years working collaboratively on a single construction project which provided a vital opportunity for peer learning and skill transfer. One foundational student commented that the construction week has assisted them to interact with senior students, which has improved and enhanced their knowledge in managing and in how a leader should be.
Corobrik generously donated 100m2 of clay pavers to enable the practical learning and has done so since the event's inception in 2013. Each student was instructed to install their own square meter of paving after a training session conducted by Ishmael Rothman, Corobrik's Bricklayer Training School Coordinator.
Focusing on the essence of the construction week, Christine Price from CPUT explained that the initial aim of the construction week was to provide a practical experience of landscape architecture- from design to construction. The practical process is helpful to many of our students in demonstrating the reality of working in the landscape field. She went on to share that, every year the construction week challenges students, not only in terms of skill development but also attitudes, motivation and problem-solving.
For the fourth year in a row, the CPUT-Corobrik construction week was a success.

A kiosk is a small, stand-alone booth typically placed in high-traffic areas for business purposes. It typically provides information and applications on education, commerce, entertainment, and a variety of other topics. Kiosks are popular due to the number of advantages they provide.
This is a stand-alone device that features a touchscreen interface and uses highly advanced programming software. Such kiosks are often used in the retail or consumer industry, and are placed in high traffic areas where people can get information with the touch of a finger.
These kiosks offer internet access to the public. They are usually installed at the airport, hotel lobbies, or apartment offices. Aside from monitors, mouse and keyboard, this type of kiosk sometimes offer credit card swipe and bill payment capabilities.
Some of the most common types of photo kiosks are instant print stations, digital order stations, movie ticketing, DVD vending, building directory and public transport ticketing kiosks.
Interactive kiosks are indispensable in today's modern environment. Here are some of the most common and innovative examples of interactive kiosks for business.
This type of interactive kiosk is utilized purely for information. Typically they are installed in large areas with a high density of people (like malls or theme parks) to provide useful details about the area.
Product promotion kiosks are often used in retail to provide information and offer a chance for potential customers to take advantage of promotions.
These kiosks are widely used as they help businesses and customers save time and money. Functions include paying bills, filling out application forms and other easy tasks that can be done without requiring staff assistance. Some of the most common self-service kiosks are self-ticketing at movie houses, self-ordering at restaurants, and self-check in at the airport.
Vending kiosks directly sell a product. They were previously only used to issue tickets, but have now expanded to dispensing small, basic items, such as makeup.
Kiosks can also refer to a booth with a person who handles the transactions. These non-interactive or manned kiosks are still popular among businesses today and can be found in a wide variety of locations, including city streets, shopping malls, and airports.
No matter what type of business you're in, a kiosk can help bring your company to even greater heights. Here are some of the most important benefits of having a kiosk.
Kiosks can provide your customers with detailed information about your products and services. Since kiosks are easily accessible, your customers will find it convenient to visit a kiosk for inquiries such as product pricing, feature comparison, etc. It will also instill confidence in your potential customers, since you are using the latest technologies to improve their buying experience.
Since kiosks are often placed at strategic locations, you'll be able to reach more potential customers. This helps expand your customer base, which ultimately increases your company's ability to sell more products. Kiosks allow you to expand reach and generate more sales without the need for a costly investment.
Interactive kiosks can be used in place of staff. Since you don't have to pay a kiosk a salary, you'll save a good amount of money. Also, since kiosks can provide your customers with answers to many of their buying concerns, you can focus your labor costs on sales professionals to further increase your total sales volume. Moreover, opting for a kiosk instead of a traditional retail space will keep your rent and overhead costs down while you still benefit from increased visibility.
You can utilize a kiosk to assist your business operations to help save time. For example, you can have both a cashier and a kiosk helping to check out customers. This will cut waiting times by up to 50%. As a result, your customers will have a more positive experience at your store and will be more likely to return.
Kiosks provide a great opportunity for branding and advertising purposes. You can design the exterior of your kiosks according to your specific corporate image, such as the color scheme, logo, taglines, etc. Innovative kiosks can effectively draw the attention of potential customers by streaming your brand message. The opportunities for messaging are infinite. For instance you can feature a new product or hold a contest or a giveaway.
Mall kiosks and carts can serve as testing grounds for your new products and can help generate public interest. Just make sure your product or service is appropriate for where your kiosk is located.
Bottom Line: What Is A Kiosk?
Modern customers demand more interactive features when making their purchase decisions. This is why more and more companies are incorporating kiosk technology into their operations. You cannot afford not to consider using a kiosk if you want your company to grow in today's ultra-competitive business environment.
Here is an article on vending machines, if that helps.

This year, take an insightful journey through the pages of the New Testament.
Fifty-two pastors bring New Testament scripture alive in "Walk Through the Word." Each day offers a passage of the New Testament and a meaningful devotional, and each week readers will be encouraged to journal their thoughts on the scriptures and commentary they have read. As readers continue their walk through God's Word, their knowledge of Him will grow, and they will find themselves becoming more like Christ.
Coupled with New Testament scriptures, daily devotionals help readers absorb biblical truths and practically apply scriptures to everyday life. Devotional topics include: the vastness of Christ's love, investing in the growth of others, how repentance leads to transformation, how God uses His children to accomplish His purpose, and more.

If you do the math that is approximately 40% of the population of each respective county that is visiting Facebook EVERY day!
That means if your target audience is ANYWHERE in North America, over the age of 13 with access to a computer, chances are they are pretty heavily represented on Facebook. Therefore ignoring this hub as part of your marketing might not be the best call.
Your posts only reach about 16% of your followers, but boosting exposure of these posts for as little as $5 can increase exposure dramatically, and can be directed not only to your followers, but also to your targeted audience on Facebook.
" I'm not a Facebook user"
"I'm marketing to businesses, not consumers"
My response remains the same. Don't knock it until you give it a decent try. It will cost you little in time and money to do so, and the payoff could be well worth it!

LLB from a Private Institution: Admission granted
In Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd v The Kwazulu-Natal Law Society and Others (2019) ZACC 47, the Constitutional Court had to decide whether the LLB degree offered to students by the applicant, Independent Institute of Education ("IIE"), met the requirements for admission as a legal practitioner.
Section 26(1)(a) of the Legal Practice Act 28 of 2014 ("LPA") indicates that a person qualifies to be admitted as a legal practitioner when s/he has met all the requirements for the LLB degree obtained from a university.
The respondent, the KwaZulu-Natal Law Society ("KZNLS"), argued before the High Court that the IIE does not qualify as a university and is also not on the list of institutions with an accredited LLB degree. This means that a person who obtained an LLB from the IIE cannot be admitted as a legal practitioner.
The High Court declared section 26(1)(a) of the LPA unconstitutional as it infringed the IIE's constitutional rights to:
establish a private education institution in terms of section 29(3) of the Constitution;
equality before the law in terms of section 9(1) of the Constitution; and
freedom of profession, occupation and trade in terms of section 22 of the Constitution.
The matter was sent to the Constitutional Court to decide on the validity of section 26(1)(a) of the LPA.
The Constitutional Court did not confirm the order made by the High Court and found that the KZNLS was wrong in its interpretation that a registered private educational institution does not fall under the definition of a university.
Even though the Constitutional Court did not declare section 26(1)(a) of the LPA to be invalid, it stated that the LPA existed in order to provide entrance into the legal profession for everyone who completed the LLB degree from a standard acceptable to the South African Qualifications Authority. This means that the focus should be on whether the LLB degree is properly accredited or not.
This judgment means that a student who completes his/her properly accredited LLB degree at an accredited private institution qualifies to be admitted as a legal practitioner.

Book Review — Broken Course (Wrecked & Ruined) by Aly Martinez
November 7, 2014 by Aestas · 6 Comments
"Seven years ago, my life changed forever. Then fate led me to Leo James. He taught me that crazy could be perfectly normal and it shouldn't hurt to breathe…"
Buy BROKEN COURSE (Kindle)
I loved this book!! It was a gorgeous romance and a perfect conclusion to this series — a sexy, heartwarming story of two broken people finding love in the most unlikely of places. I highly recommend these books for all fans of unique love stories, second chances, and protective Alpha males.
My strong recommendation is to read this series in order.Chronologically, Broken Course is actually the fourth (and last) book you should read about this set of characters. While each book is a standalone about a different couple, all the stories are strongly tied in together and I promise you'll have a much stronger emotional attachment if you read them in order. (See the bottom of this post for more details.)
This is Sarah and Leo's story and it was so fitting to have theirs be the final part of this series. Since the beginning, Sarah's journey has been tragic, painful, and while I would understand why some reader might have even disliked her, I personally felt pity for her. What happened to her was life changing and devastating and I was so happy to see her finally reach a place of happiness and healing. Seven years ago, she was involved in a horrific accident that she survived but at the cost of the losing the woman she used to be. Her personality change was like turning into a new person. Overcome with guilt, she struggled for years with her new reality, feeling utterly unworthy of love or life and just wanting things to end. Her previous emotional connections were no longer meaningful and she felt lost, and completely alone…
"My world may be filled with people, but somehow, I still find myself completely alone in the shadows of my mind… I had every memory from my old life but none of the emotions to match them. "
Leo James was protective by nature and profession, and tortured by a past he was forced to relive each day in his head. The never ending guilt of the horrific things he was forced to do while working as an undercover agent haunted him. Both him and Sarah reached points where they thought they couldn't make it any further, both so broken by their pasts that they lost any hope for their future. But somehow, together, they were able to build something beautiful.
"I like her despite her past, and in some sick way, I'm hoping that, if I can overlook the things she did, maybe she will be able to do the same with me."
Now, despite the pain in their pasts, this book was actually a lot of fun. I really appreciated that the author lightened it by incorporating oodles of humour. I must have laughed right out loud at least once per chapter. Everything from their hilariously horrific first date, to their non-stop banter, to their flirty texts really balanced out the more emotional sides of the story.
"I really fucking hope you cleaned the cobwebs out of your panties, because… I want you to run into that man's bed, strip naked, and let him kiss you wherever the hell he wants. You did NOT tell me he was that good-looking."
"Yes, I did!" I whisper-yell back to her while glancing over my shoulder to make sure Leo can't hear us. But, much to my dismay, he's very obviously listening. His confident shit-eating grin is impossibly wide.
I actually think that Sarah's best friend said it best. Her accident had essentially made her into a new person and the only hope she had of building a future would be to embrace that new person with someone who would accept her as she was now without judgment.
"Everyone in Sarah's life has known her for years. I think someone finally needs to hear her side of the story without the clouds of the past fracturing her truths. Someone needs to finally know that woman standing in the parking lot right now."
And I loooooved the way Leo was with her. As someone with a dark past of his own, he understood the need to be accepted and there were no double standards in his mind. He was calm, patient, caring, and protective of her… allowing her the safety to just be herself and willing to stand up for her no matter what.
"Aw, did you get upset because someone made me cry?" …
"I'm serious, Sarah. I was pissed."
She wraps her arms around my waist and starts laughing again. "Oh God. What did you say?"
"I don't even remember exactly. But I'm pretty sure I called you my woman and pissed on someone's leg."
This story has a really wonderful way of standing on it's own while tying together all the parts of the stories in the series so far. All these people had had their lives entwined in some way. Everything all tied back to that fateful accident that changed all their lives and this was the last piece to be healed.
"He takes two giant steps forward, pulling me into his arms. "We're going to be okay. I refuse to accept it any other way."
And, true to this author's style, there's a twist towards the end that added an absolutely wonderful storyline in that honestly just made the book. It was the missing link and perfectly rounded out the story. But I won't say anything because it's a really great surprise to discover as you read.
Ooooooohh!! And lets not forget the infamous vegetable report!! Its here. *waggles eyebrows* Pretty sure I'll never look at parsnip and plantain the same way again!
Gah. And the epilogue was perfect!! I literally just started crying when I saw whose POV it was in. Truly a gorgeous way to end all these stories. It tied everything up, was loaded with emotion, and brought the stories in all the books full circle in every way.
I highly recommend this series as a top favorite. These love stories are quite unique and unconventional but that's what makes them so wonderful. They're emotional, funny, angsty, heart-wrenching, sweet, and everything you could ever want. I'm such a huge fan of Aly Martinez's writing. I've now read every book in this series and loved every one. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
Rating: 4.5 stars!!

Just finished this book! OMG! I have loved this entire series, but to see how far Sarah has come. I'm overwhelmed right now. Leo!!! I loved Leo and to see how broken he was and how he and Sarah helped each other. I'm just a mess! Great writing, and the Epilogue!
