Running a small business often means wearing many hats; you're sending emails, paying suppliers, invoicing, building workflows, and putting together all sorts of reports. On top of that, the ever important job of actually delivering the product or service that customers are paying for.With this in mind, it gets even clearer why it's important to embrace digitalisation, and a key part of helping make running a business easier means modernising the way they do accounting.Rhys Brown, CEO of ABSS, gets into what businesses should keep an eye on when getting an accounting software, but also takes us through the evolution of ABSS and its products over the years, and how their offerings differ from other players in the market
ABSS students and district leaders emphasize female trailblazers during Women's History Month. Margaret Faust talked to 5th grader Dasia Roberson, ABSS Board or Education Chair Sandy Ellington-Graves, and Chief Academic Officer Revonda Johnson about what this month means to them.
The presence of vehicle safety features on entry-level vehicles in South Africa is improving, with the majority of vehicles in this category offering moderate to acceptable safety features. This is according to the 2022 Automobile Association (AA) Entry-Level Vehicle Safety (ELVS) Report, which assesses the available safety features on entry-level vehicles in the domestic market. The ELVS Report is produced utilising desktop research, explains the AA. Thirty-eight vehicles have been included in this year's report. They are assessed for the safety features stated in the written literature of the vehicles in available printed or online brochures. The report does not consider the structural integrity of the driver/passenger compartment. The value threshold for vehicles considered has been raised from previous years, to R270 000. The 38 vehicles are categorised into three groups based on their safety ratings. These categories are: Acceptable Safety; Moderate Safety; and Poor Safety. In the 2022 ELVS Report, four vehicles are in the Poor Safety category, 23 in the Moderate Safety category, and 11 vehicles in the Acceptable Safety category. The vehicles in the Poor Safety category are two JMC goods movers, the Mahindra Bolero BMT and the Suzuki Super Carry 1.2 Pick-Up. “The fact that so many vehicles offer moderate or acceptable safety is extremely encouraging and indicates that manufacturers are taking the presence of critical vehicle safety equipment seriously,” says the AA. “This is a good trend, and we hope to see even fewer vehicles in the poor category in the years ahead. “The purpose of the research is to provide consumers with a starting point for vehicle purchases – be it new or second-hand,” adds the AA. “We point out what safety features are stated as being available on these vehicles and urge consumers to consider these a priority as part of their decision-making process.” The association reiterates that its research does not provide a definitive measure of a vehicle's safety, as this can only be determined through crash-testing. Call For Mandatory Safety Features The 38 vehicles surveyed for the 2022 ELVS Report were evaluated against the number of active safety features they have, namely antilock braking systems (ABSs) and electronic stability control (ESC), as well as passive safety features, namely airbags. Points are awarded to vehicles for the existence of each active and passive safety feature. Additional points are awarded to vehicles crash tested under the NCAP system, in this case, the Global NCAP's #SaferCarsforAfrica programme. Of the 38 vehicles researched in 2022, 34 are equipped with ABS and 33 with driver and passenger airbags. Only seven of the vehicles researched have ESC. The least common safety feature is curtain airbags (no vehicles) and side airbags (only one vehicle). In 2019, the AA supported the #StopTheCrash partnership to demonstrate the effectiveness of, among other technologies, ESC and ABS. The technologies which were showcased have the potential to save thousands of lives every year, and the United Nations is encouraging countries around the world to mandate these life-saving technologies. “The inclusion of these safety features protects motorists – it's as simple as that,” says the AA. “The inclusion of ESC, for instance, must be considered more seriously by manufacturers as this is proven technology which can reduce road crashes. We reiterate our call that this technology come as standard for entry-level vehicles available in South Africa.”

Isabelle Drouet (Paris-Sorbonne) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (4 June, 2014) titled "Agent-based simulations in empirical sociological Research". Abstract: Agent-based models and simulations are more and more widely used in the empirical sciences. In sociology, they have been put at the core of a research project: analytical sociology, as theorized and practiced in, e.g., Hedström’s Dissecting the social (2005). Analytical sociologists conceive of ABMs as tools for causal analysis. More precisely, they see ABSs as the one method enabling the social sciences to produce genuine explanations of macro empirical phenomena by micro (or possibly meso) ones, and the purported explanations clearly are causal ones. My talk aims at clarifying in which sense exactly and under which conditions agent-based models and simulations as they are used in analytical sociology can indeed causally explain, or contribute to causally explain, social facts.
It was a packed agenda at Tuesday's Alamance-Burlington Board of Education work session. Jessica Williams has been writing about it all week. Here's what she's covered and what we tackle in this clip: Proposed redistricting at crowded Hillcrest Elementary to undercapacity E.M. Holt Elementary; Rising school construction costs and the bond; Changes to the academic coaching program - after a walkback of the wholesale elimination of the program, which supplies teachers with instructional support; and Incentives and plans for attracting teachers to Title I middle schools with high staff turnover
The short answer: Teacher turnover. The school board and ABSS central office are concerned about a lack of stability at particular schools and the cycle that perpetuates on a campus. Teachers with provisional -- temporary -- licenses are either in classrooms on an emergency basis or as lateral entry -- teachers with degrees in subjects outside of education working toward their education certificate. Those positions have higher turnover rates (15.8%) than teachers as a whole (around 8.5 percent). In ABSS, these teachers are concentrated at certain campuses -- which happen to be lower-performing academically. The point isn't that these aren't good or qualified teachers. They may be excellent and enthusiastic, but they lack classroom experience and are more likely to leave teaching for a different job within several years.
Alamance Community College is asking voters to approve $39.6 million for new buildings and improvements to campus. Reporter Jessica Williams gets into the details there, and also talks about the proposed ABSS high school and what would happen to Cummings and Graham (No: They aren't closing!).

The $6.5 million1958 school bond built four of Alamance County's six current high schools. The issues it addressed and controversy around it were similar to Alamance-Burlington Schools and the public are grappling with in 2018. This year, ABSS is petitioning the county commissioners for a potential $150 million bond to build a new high school and add additional space at others.
