The Universal Socket Prosthetic is an open-source project that tackles the challenge of limb differences from a new angle, allowing anyone to create a customized prosthetic system that they can adapt and use over long periods of time. Rather than attempting to design a "jack-of-all-trades" arm, this socket system uses varying custom attachments to accomplish a wide range of tasks. It consists of a mesh, sandwich interface with the residual limb, combined with a hexagonal socket that accepts a corresponding shaft on attachments. Users can resize the mesh to fit different arms, and the attachment system allows for easy development of new components with simple CAD skills. The open-source files are available for download and remixing on Thingiverse.
With its low cost and ease of use, the system is particularly suited to children, who rapidly grow, break things, and try new activities; the system has been designed so that even children under age five can use it. Informed by the team's user research on facilitating participation in sports and hobbies, the prosthetic can attach to anything the user wants by adding a simple 3D-printed hexagon to any object — from a baseball bat to a painter's palette. By distributing high-level functions across a modular system, the team's design aims to equip prosthetic users with a toolkit for effectively and enjoyably participating in a wide range of activities.

21 artists for 21 years
When Pravesh Kumar MBE, founded Rifco Theatre Company 21 years ago, his vision was simple: "If no one else is willing to represent the stories and experiences of the British South Asian community, I will".
21 years later, the way representation looks on our stages has dramatically changed, and Rifco has been and continues to be a major part of this journey. The company has drawn from the vibrancy of the British South Asian community, who have in turn shown unwavering support for the work produced. This has provided opportunities to draw underrepresented artists and audiences together to create and enjoy relevant and accessible stories.
21 Artists for 21 Years
This project is a celebration of the enormous contribution that British South Asian creatives have made, and will continue to make, not just to the success of Rifco but to the UK theatre sector. Rifco will commission one artist for every year of our journey - playwrights, craft makers, lyricists, visual and spoken word artists – to create new work that celebrates Rifco's 21st anniversary and gives voice to artists and the British South Asian experience.
As we look back on how far we have come, Rifco is incredibly excited to present proof that British South Asian artists are placed to lead the arts sector over the next 21 years.

The commission: Ede: Past and Present
Hafsah explains:"My commission will take the Muslim Festival of Eid from being celebrated intimately with family and friends privately, right into the heart of a public space by encouraging the local community to submit their stories.I'm keen to shine a light on how Eid celebrations, cultural practises and family dynamics have changed over the decades and contributed to the rich fabric of society we have today.
A gallery exhibition will explore both pre- and post-millennium traditional family photographs accompanied by a soundscape of community voices talking about the importance of Eid and what it means to them."
Where to view the commission:
The Eid Exhibition was exhibited Oldham Coliseum Theatre and the Kushi Festival until August 2022.

The commission: Rishta
Taqi says about his play: "Rishta is a satirical rom-com that is deliberately unapologetic in celebrating South Asian marriage culture in all its beauty, glory and flaws. At its core, it is about challenging misconceptions that being British and South Asian is mutually exclusive. Working with Rifco to craft the bold world of Rishta is a beautifully creative challenge. From day one, Pravesh and Ameet have been committed to not only developing Rishta, but to honing my professional practice as a playwright."

Satinder Chohan

The commission: Koh-i-Noor Trilogy
Satinder explains about her commission for a new play: "As a (British) Punjabi Sikh woman, I have long wanted to tell the compelling, oft-neglected story of Maharaja Duleep Singh, the last Maharaja of Punjab and favourite of Queen Victoria, later nicknamed the 'Black Prince of Perthshire'. But I wanted to connect Duleep's story to the equally fascinating stories of two formidable women in his life: his mother Jindan Kaur (once Regent of the Sikh Empire) and his suffragette daughter Princess Sophia Duleep Singh.
Against the rise and fall of the British Empire in India, the Koh-i-Noor Trilogy will be an epic drama of family, exile and belonging, of stolen power, stolen identities and the coveted, cursed, Koh-i-Noor diamond, taken from the boy Maharaja along with his inherited kingdom of Punjab by the British.
The Koh-i-Noor Trilogy captures the spirited resistance of these three feisty figures, each separately fighting a controlling and oppressive British establishment, across generations and continents, bound by blood."
Radhika Jani
Radhika Jani is a British-Indian writer-performer from North London and works as the Digital and Creative Learning Assistant at Jacksons Lane.

Musician/Songwriting
Raxstar is a British Rapper who first came to prominence in 2005 with his producing partner Sunit. Their breakout single Keep It Undercover documented young love and the internal conflict when choosing between following your heart and going against parental expectations or conforming.
"This duality is an integral part of my identity as a British Asian. The culture I inherited and the one I was brought up in are worlds apart but there are millions like me who are also trying to figure it all out. Music is my creative outlet to explore that journey."
This unique perspective allowed Raxstar to create songs like "Jaaneman" "Sun Raha" and "Ankhiyaan" drawing from the influences of Bollywood and the smooth R&B records he grew up with. The mixtapes Lost Ones (2008), Spring Cleaning (2010), About A Girl (2011) and Late On Time (2012) continued to showcase his work ethic, versatile subject matter and lyrical prowess. Seen as the go-to-guy for rap features, Raxstar has also collaborated with over 100 artists and this list continues to grow.
The commission: A Spoken Word Piece (Title TBC)
A celebration of 21 years of the British South Asian journey. Where we came from, how we persevered and ultimately excelled in so many fields. The nuances that make us unique.

The Walls of Troy
David Griffiths
Composer: David Griffiths
About Work
Walls of Troy is the fifth opera I have written while lecturing at The University of Waikato. The idea was instigated by John Davies whose fascination with the Greek epics and tragedies kindled in me the inspiration to composer the opera. John's libretto was written over the summer of 2010-2011 and I began composing in February. The work was finished in May and rehearsals with the students started soon after.
The characters albeit to some extent mythological, express a complex and very real humanity and this made creating the music a very engaging process. Specific musical motives and instrumental highlights are given to the roles. For example Achilles is often accompanied by two trombones; Hermes, the only god personified in the opera, has a recurring minor 7th interval to glissandi strings; Priam and Hecuba, the aging king and queen are punctuated by both strident musical gestures and heart-felt lyricism; the chorus, as in Greek tragedies, comments on proceedings but also enacts the looming tragedy of the Trojan people, and the orchestra, energized by the inclusion of the University Brass Quintet adds a rich palette of sound.
Setting the libretto was a joy and it is to John's credit that I barely changed a word since the pattern of the story was so tightly constructed. In some ways to yet again visit this famous encounter with Achilles and Hector, which has been rendered on film and other operas, may seem less than fecund, however it is a great story and the many incarnations only serve to amplify its value. My thanks to all those who have committed so much time and energy into bringing this production alive.

Congregate Housing is similar to independent living except that it usually provides convenience or supportive services like meals, housekeeping, and transportation in addition to rental housing.
Designed for seniors who require little or no assistance with the activities of daily living, independent living communities provide services for seniors such as housekeeping, laundry and meals. Residents of independent units may have some home health care services provided by in-house staff or an outside agency.
Many independent living settings for senior adults provide hospitality or supportive services to enhance the experience. Under this living arrangement, the senior adult leads an independent lifestyle that requires minimal or no extra assistance. Generally referred to as elderly housing in the government-subsidized environment, independent living also includes rental assisted or market rate apartments or cottages where residents usually have complete choice in whether to participate in the community's services or programs.
Assisted Living and Long Term Care communities for individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia are often referred to as Memory Care units. Often housed in a special wing with additional security, cueing devices and other specific architectural features these areas are state licensed and provide programming specific to the population being served. These neighborhoods are staffed with individuals who are specifically trained to work with individuals who have some form of dementia. Memory Care neighborhoods can differ in the level of care they provide along the continuum of the disease. For instance, some assisted living communities will accept individuals with Alzheimer's or related dementia through the entire disease process whereas other will only accept individuals who are in the early stage of the disease.
A CCRC or SLC are communities which offer several levels of assistance, including independent living, assisted living and nursing home care. It is different from other housing and care options for seniors because it usually provides a written agreement or long-term contract between the resident (frequently lasting the term of the resident's lifetime) and the community, which offers a continuum of housing, services and health care system, commonly all on one campus or site.
These CCRC communities and Senior Living Campuses offer housing, services, and nursing care, typically all in one location and are paid for through long term care insurance, paid privately, Medicare (if applicable in therapy) and in some rare cases, through waiver programs. Each part of the community may be subject to separate oversight. For example, housing could be regulated at the local level, assisted living regulated at the state level, and the nursing home part of the community governed by state and federal regulations.
Home health care is a variety of health care services that can be given in your home and is generally used by individuals with an illness or injury. Home health care helps an individual regain independence through part-time or intermittent skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or speech therapy.
Nursing Homes/Skilled Nursing Communities are medical care options which provide care of chronic conditions or short term convalescent or rehabilitative care, for which medical and nursing care are indicated. Some residents are admitted for short stays of convalescent or rehabilitative care following hospitalization. This may include physical, occupational, speech therapy, and varied specialized rehabilitation programs to get you on your feet quickly.
Funding options for nursing home care include: private funding, long-term care insurance, Medicare, and many times Medicaid. Paying for nursing home care is a major concern for many families and speaking to the communities' social worker can help you walk through the process.


When researching industry information, a good first step is to brainstorm the industry by making a list of appropriate keywords, including synonyms, and related, narrower and broader terms. For example, when looking for information on the recording industry you can focus your search by using more specific terms such as recording studios or widen it to the entire music industry. To find additional keywords, try the thesaurus located in the top menu in Business Source Complete.
After compiling your list of keywords, find relevant industry classification codes using the indices below. Use these keywords and codes when searching the databases and websites listed in this guide.
Industry classification codes broadly classify the industry areas in which a company operates.
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) uses two- through six-digit codes and is the standard used by federal statistical agencies in classifying businesses. Developed jointly by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, NAICS allows for the comparability of business statistics across North America. NAICS replaced the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system in 1997.
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system uses four-digit codes. Though it has been replaced by NAICS, some publishers continue to use this classification system. However, NAICS provides classifications for many more business types.
The International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) system is maintained by the United Nations Statistics Division. Many countries around the world have used ISIC as their national activity classification or have developed national classifications derived from ISIC. ISIC is an important tool for comparing statistical data on economic activities at the international level.

Tarts and Pornography
Sexual cocktails to tantalise your taste buds.
Location: 117 Charterhouse Street, EC1M 6AA
Description: Well... the defining image of this Smithfield cocktail joint - as printed on the menus and in various locations around the place - is a heavily lipsticked woman jamming cake into her mouth, while a full-scale orgy takes place behind her... and why not!
Alas it's the former that inspires the bar's main content - that of tarts, cakes, puddings, yummy sweet stuff - with London mixologists tinkering with everything from berries to breakfasts.
'Tart' takes its inspiration from classic desserts: Lemon Meringue Pie is made with Vodka and lemon curd here and topped with a disc of meringue - meanwhile the Tiramisu is bathed in rum, coffee liqueur and mascarpone.
Tart makes a very successful bid for originality by putting pudding in a glass and pornography on the walls - and it's a simply fantastic place to go for a bit of tart...whatever your fancy.
Fine English food fare from Monday to Friday.

In committing to something new, something about which I knew, and still know, very little, I have managed to overlook writing about what was my most ambitious paper cut project. Setting up a tiny business, learning how to draw, practicing paper cutting, learning social media strategy and tax regulations in two countries, photography, and continuing to produce something worthwhile and quality, means perhaps I can be forgiven. No? Well I'll just show the paper cutting then. It's good, I promise.
I started my second large paper cut in January of this year. One of the impetuses for my maps is my love of travel, but when travelling I cannot find any kind of souvenir that I like enough to bring back. I'm not precisely a minimalist, but I am overly discerning. I particularly remember being struck by this difficulty in Venice. It is a city perched above, in and on water. To me it was completely unique. I had an exceptional 5 days there that I will remember until I am no longer capable of memory, but of all the shops and streets and canals, I couldn't find one thing to bring back. I thought about purchasing a glass balloon every day, but decided the connection was too tenuous and their ubiquity disenchanting. It's a beautiful thing, but didn't say Venice to me.
So when I visited Budapest twice last year, I knew I wanted something different. Both holidays were in winter, at opposite ends of the year. I will spare you the details: hot springs, early 19th century architecture, gorgeous bridges, fantastic food and alcohol, cherry pastry, raspberry chimney cakes and some very nice people. It became, concerns about its shifting right politics aside, a place I placed immediately on my "I will live here" list. It's a short list and never included London, which tells you something about it's practicality. So I decided to make my a different sort of souvenir instead.
The first step is choosing a boundary for the map. The paper is 22" x 30" and 300gsm. This means it's really very thick card, and is not at all necessary to create a work like this. A much thinner paper of 150gsm (the thickness of two sheets of printer paper) would suffice. I prefer to leave a thick border, much like a mat around my work. I wanted a sufficient density of streets to look impressive, but not so dense as to be unmanageable. Using Open Street Map and some other paper reference maps I chose enough memorable landscape features, like Margit-sziget (Margaret Island) to help the viewer orient that would fit roughly in the cut out space I had designed so I started to draw.
I drew the map in digital format first. I can then manipulate the size of the streets and features. I chose to make all the roads roughly the same width in this piece. It is easier to cut that way. I then printed the map in reverse and traced it in pencil on the back of the paper. I cut the map from the back to the front, so that mistakes are easier to hide, any extra graphite does not impact on its appearance, and it's easier to move the work around my home.
The full size map, almost complete.
The drawing of the map itself, from computer to complete trace is about 20 or so hours. In the centre of the map you can see I haven't finished drawing the last bits of Pest. I often think about stopping here because there is a simplistic minimalist appeal of the map as drawn in outline with a lead pencil. It's beautiful in its own right. But I'm made of meaner stuff: a scalpel, so I do not stop. I use a Swann Morton number 3 (I think) handle here. I buy blades by the hundreds. I also use an NT Cutter. The head swivels and is great for curves. The ruler on the right is a cutting ruler, clear acrylic with a thin edge of metal to cut against. It sometimes helps, but not always.
That's 25 minutes worth of cutting, and I did not notice I had missed part of my map until I reached that section. In the left corner you'll see the missing lines.
As time progresses I occasionally flip the map over to check on the progress and feel accomplished. I don't have an A1 self-healing mat, I use 2 A2 mats.
This is a quick video of how I cut out the maps. You can still follow me on instagram but at @kartegraphik (this was before the app made it easy to switch between accounts).
The final piece, completely cut out. Unfortunately, I noted the time, but didn't photograph it. It was 36 hours.
There is not as much of a sense of accomplishment in the pile of paper chips, as I call them, as there is in the map. Still, the blades were changed less frequently than my previous large scale map of Chicago, and the result is excellent.
Budapest framed on the wall. It's hard to see due to the awful chipboard wall paper of my flat, but the map is framed between two pieces of acrylic, meaning you can see through it to the wall behind it.
It's easier to see here that it's been float framed. What I love about this method of framing is that the shadows on the wall, particularly when placed a specific distance from the wall change and move as the light source in the room does. It interacts to create a liveliness and movement on the wall.
I won't share your email address with anyone else.
The weather is damp here in London, and I'm reminded again that in the UK there are not any holidays, not really, between August and Christmas. Something I miss about Chicago, and bore my friends, colleagues, and acquaintances with, is the defined change in seasons back home. There's a joke, familiar to many, that there are really only two seasons: winter and construction. There are more, and fall is my favorite. Many of memories of growing up are rosier now, I think than they were then, but I loved fall. The crisp dry air, the possibility of snow on Halloween, and the absolute manic consumption of Halloween decorations, pumpkins, and candy. I didn't realize until many years later that this was the harvest festival in the Mid-west. When I was young there were cornfields behind our house, and I remember my mother putting up dried Indian corn on the door. These things say Halloween and fall to me.
These sort of decorations are very New World, and really do not exist in England. Well, certainly not in London. I put a small pumpkin in my office and all I get are endless comments about how someone once had pumpkin soup! Feeling a bit of desperation for a change from cold and damp to crisp and anticipatory I drew out a skyline of Chicago.
This is a new type of cutting for me. Many other folks online draw out their designs onto tracing paper and then tape it down on top of their paper. They then cut both of these out. I tend to draw my designs direct onto my paper and then cut it out. This time I wanted to ensure I had the correct skyline formation so I drew on tracing paper. I tried, and partially succeeded, at intertwining the bottom of the city with the tree branches.
It's always the trees that tell us it's turned to fall, but I didn't want a skeletal tree of warped branches so I added a few leaves.
I was particularly proud of the roots and the twisting shadows they produced.
Here is the final piece. Hello, Chicago!

This year in Victoria, Over 22 house fires have been directly related to unprotected downlights. A ceiling inspection is your best defense against potential fire dangers. To book in your ceiling inspection call us on 1300 797 616. The Downlight Doctor ...Protecting your family.
The percentage of house fires that begin in the roof is growing rapidly every year.
While down lights are an extremely popular choice of lighting these days, they can also be extremely dangerous if not correctly covered. It is a major problem that is not made known enough!
Exposed High temperature down lights in a ceiling is an accident waiting to happen that can easily be prevented.
Movement in the ceiling caused by rodents, nesting birds and even people, can easily cause unfixed or loose material to move against just one down light (among many?) that can reach a temperature of 200-300 degrees. As you can imagine old dry insulation would not take long to ignite.
Another scary reality is that smoke alarms can give people a false sence of security rarely detecting ceiling fires early...so by the time you realise what is happening it is generally too late.

I have had a sporterized Mauser since I was a kid. It has always had feeding issues. I recently decided to dress it up a bit, and took it down to refinish all the worn metal and apply a texturized finish to the metal. Upon inspection, I found the original magazine spring was cracked, and causing the magazine follower to push towards one side. I bought this brownells magazine spring to replace the old one, and upon inspection of the new spring, I realized not only was my old spring cracked, it was seriously worn out with much less tension. This new spring has taken my finicky mauser to rock solid. I was so happy with the improvement, I also order the alminum magazine follower, new guard screws, and a nice leupold scope.
My magazine follower often tilted and jammed in the magazine. This new spring solved the problem. It fit my M24/47 without modification.
This fit my Yugo M48 perfectly after the factory spring broke.Only down side is, it doesn't allow you to push the 5 round below the bolt to carry on an empty chamber with a full magazine.

Caballo Island (which means "Horse Island" in Spanish) is a bluff, rocky island located at the entrance to Manila Bay in the Philippines. It is about  long with the highest elevation at 381 feet high. Caballo, along with the larger Corregidor (2 km to the north), divides the entrance to the bay into two broad and deep channels, known as the North and South Channel.

The whole island was formerly occupied by Fort Hughes, a U.S. defense fortification before World War II. It was heavily bombed during the war.

Geological history
Caballo and Corregidor Islands are believed to be the rims of the Corregidor Caldera.  The gap between the two islands is only about 1/4 mile with a depth of  and is never used for large vessel navigation.

In November 2014, Filipino peacekeepers from Liberia who were quarantined on the island for 21 days due to concerns about Ebola were cleared to return to the mainland. At that time West Africa was having an outbreak of the disease.

Current tenants
The island is currently occupied by the Philippine Navy and is off limits to civilians. Remains of the old fortifications, batteries and structures are left rusting in the open after it was abandoned after World War II.

NIgeria yellow fever outbreak update: WHO
On 14 September 2017, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) informed WHO of a confirmed case of yellow fever in Kwara State. On 15 September, an official notification as per the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) was issued by the Nigerian National IHR Focal Point.
Nigeria map/CIA
The case-patient was a 7 year-old girl from Kwara State who developed symptoms on 16 August 2017 including fever, vomiting and abdominal pain. She had no previous history of yellow fever vaccination and no travel history outside of the state in the two years prior to illness onset. Her blood sample tested positive by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, and confirmed by serology tests performed at the regional reference laboratory, Institut Pasteur de Dakar (IPD).
From 2 July through 19 December 2017, 341 suspected cases of yellow fever have been reported from 16 states, including Abia, Anambra, Borno, Edo, Enugu, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Kwara, Kebbi, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Oyo, Plateau, and Zamfara states. Six states have reported confirmed cases of yellow fever (Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa and Zamfara).
As of 19 December, a total of 213 samples have been tested in five laboratories in Nigeria. Of these 213 samples, the Nigerian laboratories tested 63 samples positive for yellow fever and there was one inconclusive result. Of 63 samples sent to IPD for laboratory confirmation of yellow fever infection, 32 were positive, 24 were negative, and 7 results are pending at the time of publication of this update.
Of the 341 suspected cases, 214 (62.8%) are males. The most affected age group is people aged 20 years and younger who account for 65.9% of cases. The total number of deaths (among suspected, probable and confirmed cases) is 45 and nine among the confirmed cases. The case fatality rate for all cases (including suspected, probable and confirmed) is 21.1% and 28.1% for confirmed cases. Further epidemiological investigations are underway.

When Morgan, my youngest daughter, moved out the end of August, I was expecting to be a little sad. I thought I might be filled with nostalgia as my baby girl moved into her own place. I thought I might cry a little. I didn't shed a tear, I was just glad to be there. I was glad to be able to help haul her bed up a narrow stairway to the 3rd floor, I was glad to buy us all lunch. After what had happened Friday night I realized that her being able to move out was a very good thing. Being alive is good.
I realize this is post is coming as a shock to many. Why, it happened about month ago, yet I've been mostly silent. For someone who likes to post status updates and pictures of the details and passions of my life, I was left without a keystroke to post. I didn't know what to say, or to whom to say it.
As anger melted to conscious thoughts; as the situation continued to unfold, I began to contemplate it all more profoundly. While a friend helped me squeeze out the BBs, which were well beneath my epidermis, I realized it was more serious than I had believed. When she confronted the kid's mom and family who reluctantly came out of the house, I began to see myself as a small actor on a large stage. When I biked home, was met by my wife, granddaughter, son and fiance, I realized how different this moment could have been.
I have had to wait this long to write to begin to know what I really even think and feel; what is shock and what is idealistic thinking? How do I communicate this experience in a way that is honest, both to me and to my community? I have committed myself to communicating truthfully about my life, my family, and my neighborhood. I am committed to seeking and promoting the "Beloved Community" but does my commitment change with copper BB's being coaxed from beneath my skin?
Just a few weeks ago I was writing to challenge neighbors on Facebook to focus on the good and not the bad in our Northside. How does that work when I feel victimized?
And me? I'm just glad to be here. I'm thankful for each day, and I've renewed my resolve to be a neighbor who fulfills my role in helping build the beloved community.
I think when we step into 'the abyss' where darkness reigns; where we lose our sense of "up and down"; where we aren't sure whether to scream, what to scream, or if a scream could be heard; where all seems broken but there is no ground to stand on; where suddenly all that gives a sense of identity, place, how to be, what to do, etc. disappears; when we have no sense if/how the Gospel might be manifested; when there is no right answer; or any answer at all; then, maybe, we are getting closer to 'standing in the gap' .
It is the most dangerous and lonely place. And the only safe place.
I appreciate your thanksgiving; of making the space to receive the flipside of this sin-filled world: i.e. grace.
You have decided to stand with and stand for peoples who live in the abyss and usually suspect those who ought come to their aid are the very people who put them there. Their desperate calls to 911 are not answered.
We don't have clear vision of the abyss nor of the grace that enables us to be there. There is no way ultimately to make rational sense of the abyss. But God will make clear in our hearts, when it is needed, that His grace is present and sufficient.
Glad the BB did not take you out Marque…really Bro Ham!
Wow Marque, this had to be a really hard post to write. And I appreciate that your heart has not been hardened towards the very people that you are trying to do community with after this incident. Its a hard road that we have to travel sometimes, and I see you navigating the tension between wanting to make excuses for this kind of behavior and vilifying the perpetrator of this act. You navigate it well!
thanks for the kind words, I couldn't do it if not for people like you on this journey as well.

Bye-Bye Cartoons
Filed under: Main — admin @ 12:01 am
For years, the For Dummies books — the good ones, at least — featured a healthy quantity of humor. Part of that humor included cartoons. They're funny cartoons as well, some of them being incredibly spot-on. And the readers enjoyed them. O how I wish that were still the case.
When DOS For Dummies was being written, I had no desire to add cartoons. In fact, it was my editor who phoned me up and said, "Oh, by the way, we're sticking cartoons in the book." I protested that decision most vehemently.
Fortunately I was overruled. The cartoons in For Dummies books turned out to be decent and appreciated. From my computer book publishing history, however, that wasn't always the case.
Back in the mid-1980s I worked for CompuSoft publishing. The books featured cartoons as a way to lighten up the learning process. The books were very consistent, very popular, and the humor helped. Yet I received a lot of complaints about the cartoons. Some readers really disliked them.
Figure 1 shows a typical cartoon that appeared in just about every one of the Learning BASIC line of books. The cartoons were penned by Bob Stevens, who was famous as an aviation cartoonist and illustrator.
Figure 1. A Bob Stevens cartoon from CompuSoft's Learning IBM BASIC. Used illegally without permission.
You can see more cartoons that appeared in CompuSoft books by visiting fellow CompuSoft alum Morgan Davis' web site here.
I didn't think anything of the cartoons at first, but after getting complaints I leaned against them. After all, I'd prefer not to read angry letters (this is before email), but the publisher insisted, so the cartoons remained.
When my DOS For Dummies editor phoned to tell me that cartoons would be a staple in my book, I cringed. I didn't want more angry letters.
My fear turned out to be misplaced. People loved the cartoons. They were so much better than the earlier cartoons I had to contend with, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. The first cartoon that appeared in DOS For Dummies, used completely without permission.
Now things have changed.
For Dummies books no longer feature the cartoons by Rich Tennent. Penny-pinching by narrow-minded weasels has replaced the cartoons and diminished the books' rich value. Instead of humor you now see bland "In this part" text, coupled with an insipid graphic. It's boring, and publisher wants it that way for every book.
It was a terrible decision by the higher ups to remove the cartoons. As I've told them eternally, they just don't understand what makes the books special. Sure, they'll save some money by not having to pay Tennent, but this decision makes the books less classy. That kind of proves my point about them being narrow-minded weasels.
Where I once despised the cartoons, then grew to love them, now I find myself missing them.

SUVs are known as more prominent and more powerful cars than your standard passenger vehicle, making it a common choice amongst drivers in the UAE.
A lower SUV value could be legally more expensive to insure than an average Sedan of the same price.
But sometimes insurers are willing to charge higher premiums due to the way the cars are built, and since they prove to be higher risk vehicles, from rollovers to theft threats.
It's important to compare your car insurance online as you could get reasonably low prices.
There are always a few things that should typically run through a person's mind before buying a car; is it what I need? Will it last long? Is it within my budget? But one thing most people tend to overlook is how much they're willing to pay for insuring their vehicle.
In the UAE, many people choose to buy smaller, more affordable vehicles to get from A to B. But those with families or larger budgets will choose cars such as SUVs. An SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) is supposedly safer, given its sheer size and performance. A lot of brands have invested in the designs of their new models, making them ultra-comfortable with extra safety features, essentially creating a higher demand for this type of car.
In today's modern world, more and more car companies have invested a lot into the design of their new SUVs, making them a lot safer and more stable on the roads. With ESC (Electronic Stability Control) systems, the likelihood of the car skidding or the driver losing control of the vehicle is decreased.
Car insurance companies calculate premiums based on a variety of different factors such as features of models, how well they work, the car model, the car value and the year of manufacture.
Surprisingly, a lower SUV value is by law, more expensive to insure than an average Sedan due to a higher minimum premium of at least AED 2000.
BUT! Premium SUV's such as Porsche Cayenne or Range Rover can be cheaper to insure than a sedan of the same price due to the fact that people with families often drive them.
The lesson for today? It is crucial to always to compare your car insurance policy online as you could get reasonably lower rates. Discover your options on Aqeed. Get a Free Quote!
SUVs generally ride a lot 'higher' off the road, meaning that the distance between the car and the road is a lot greater than a regular car. This means that if involved in an accident, an SUV has a more significant chance of having a rollover accident, where the vehicle itself can roll onto its roof or side. Rollover crashes are known to be fatal as passengers aren't protected by any airbag systems above their heads, but also, the chances of the roof caving are that much more. The height and weight of an SUV make them so much more vulnerable. With this in mind, insurance companies will charge a higher premium for more protection.
SUVs are a lot larger and heavier than standard, smaller passenger cars, and therefore are more likely to cause more damage if involved in an accident. This means that if the fault is of the SUV driver, the insurance company would have a lot more to pay out due to the more considerable damages inflicted on the smaller vehicle. That's why premiums are already set at higher rates so that insurance companies can make sure that they're covered, as a driver won't just pay for their losses, but the damages they cause too.
As unlikely as it may sound in the UAE, theft poses a significant problem for SUV owners – they're more desirable as they are stronger vehicles with more storage room. With this in mind, insurance companies are aware of the fact that covering a larger car costs much more, and will, therefore, include that cost from the start with a higher premium.
SUVs generally cost a lot more than a standard car, not just because of its size, but also the fact that there may be a lot more packed into it. This means that should insurance need to cover the replacement of a part or parts; it can be costly and a lot more than the average vehicle. It's easier for an insurance company to make sure that they have their bases covered with a higher premium, while also ensuring that they're able to cover the customer when the time comes.
SUVs not only bring size and height to the table, but they also have incredibly powerful engines to pull that weight. This is why most SUVs are classified as high-performance vehicles since some drivers might be inclined to drive more recklessly on the roads. Insurers tend to avoid any bias, so while they do look at a driver's past records, they do take this factor into account when calculating a premium.
SUVs are seen as safer, more reliable and stronger vehicles on the roads of the UAE. So, if you're considering one for your next car, make sure you understand the terms of your policy to avoid being caught off-guard.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has published two recently approved Cabinet Decisions on the Value Added Tax (VAT) treatment of gold and diamonds, and exhibitions and conferences.
Cabinet Decision no. (25) of 2018 relates to the VAT treatment of the supply of non-investment gold, diamonds and any product where the principal component is non-investment gold or diamonds (the "Product").
The decision would apply only to commercial transactions between registered dealers. Where a registered dealer supplies the Product to a tax registered recipient who intends to resell the Product, or use it to manufacture the Product, the dealer may not be liable for VAT. To apply this treatment the recipient must account for the VAT due via the reverse charge mechanism and issue the required written declaration to the supplier.
The decision is effective from 1 June 2018.
Cabinet Decision no. (26) of 2018 relates to VAT charged on certain supplies relating to exhibitions, conferences, and related services. It is effective immediately.
According to the decision, the supplier of exhibition and conference services shall, in certain cases, not be required to collect VAT from customers who are not established in UAE and are not VAT registered / required to be registered in the UAE. The supplier will instead declare the output tax on its VAT return and may claim a corresponding refund on its VAT return where the relevant conditions are met.
A user guide has been published for suppliers of these services along with a declaration form, organizer form and space supplier form.
Please contact Mark Junkin or your usual Deloitte contact to understand how these decisions may impact on your business.
The FTA has released a user guide on Tax Agents and Tax Agencies. The guide provides detailed guidance on the criteria for becoming a Tax Agent or Tax Agency.
The guide also provides a detailed explanation on how to complete the related forms.
This week the FTA published Decision no. (3) of 2018 which provides that a supplier may choose not to include the physical address of the recipient of its supply on the corresponding tax invoice / credit note, provided the mailing address of the recipient is mentioned on the tax invoice.

New York State's World War One Website Now Online
The New York State WWI Centennial Commission website now contains links to oral histories with WWI soldiers and free access on Ancestry.com, through a partnership with the New York State Archives, to information compiled from federal WWI military service records for Army officers, enlisted men, sailors, Marines, and nurses who enlisted or were drafted in New York.
This service information is particularly valuable because most World War I Army service records were destroyed in a 1973 National Personnel Records Center fire. New York's information, however, exists for exploration only because, shortly after World War I, New York's adjutant general gathered the military records for New Yorkers.
Updated regularly, the site includes a statewide calendar with more than 40 WWI events and exhibits. Commemorating this year's 100th anniversary of the United States' entry into World War I, the site features resources on the significant role New York and New Yorkers played in the war, and a digital tour of New York historic sites connected to the war. Visitors can search through the Roll of Honor that includes more than 13,000 New Yorkers who died in World War One, profiles of the 25 New Yorkers who were awarded the Medal of Honor – the nation's highest military honor – and information on regiments that served.
Additionally, on the website, New Yorkers are encouraged to share stories and photos of loved ones who served in the war, or submit an event that honors those who served. More than 500,000 New Yorkers served in World War One. Click here to learn more.

Guwahati: In order to defend Arunachal Pradesh from the impending threat of China, India has decided to deploy a supersonic cruise missile from the BrahMos regiment.
China has made a long standing claim that the Northeastern state is a part of it and with the recent development of reports of Chinese military lining up in the Line of Actual Control, India has decided to step up its security.
The regiment will operate around four to six BrahMos batteries and three to four Mobile Autonomous Launchers (MALs). The regiment will command up to 100 BrahMos Block III cruise missiles, each armed with a 290 kg warhead. The missile can be launched from multiple platforms–submarines,ships, land etc and can engage targets as low as 10 meters.


This building was built in 1951.
1951-56: Swatez Department Store, owned by Manny Swatez and managed by Chester Cicharz. (Picture in Dispatch November 6, 1952). Amos Heilicher may also have had an ownership interest. Manny's father had started Swatez Dry Goods in 1919 in North Minneapolis. The store became Swatez Department Store, at 1227 Olson Memorial Highway. It closed at that location in 1971, displaced by the Glenwood urban renewal project. At that time Swatez purchased two Record Lane stores at 806 Nicollet Ave. downtown and in Knollwood. Swatez lived at 2560 Xenwood Ave. in the Park.

1966: Stanley's House of Styling. This was apparently the place to go to get a great beehive hairdo. Russian ladies in the back engaged in aromatic cooking.
1951-58 Meyer Hardware (Picture in Dispatch November 6, 1952); Emil Meyer, proprietor. Ad in March 1951 issue of the Echo.
1980-86: The Park (True Value) Hardware. A puzzling ad in the March 25, 1981, Sun includes the words Grand Opening, but also says that March 29 is Park Hardware's birthday.
In this photo from @ 1951, the building is in the center.
In the Summer of 2014 the building was purchased by the Oak Knoll Veterinary Clinic and gutted to become the Clinic's new home. A look inside shows that it's larger than it looks from the outside – and it has a basement.

Communities, doctors rush to help as blast kills more than 70 workers, report Wei Tian and Cang Wei in Kunshan, Jiangsu, and Su Zhou in Beijing.
Chinese Valentine's Day on Saturday was a traditional day for loving couples to have happy reunions.
But for some in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, it was a day of tragic separation.
At about 7:30 am, Wen Zhao was awakened by a huge blast from a nearby factory.
Unlike many who ran for their lives, the migrant worker from Henan province rushed to the scene. That's because his 25-year-old wife, Liu Jinhua, works there.
"There were bodies lying on the ground in disorder, and the injured were struggling to stand up," Wen said with tears in his eyes, recalling the painful sight.
"There was so much dust that I couldn't recognize anyone's face. But I eventually heard a weak groan from my wife, and I pulled her out and carried her to the ambulance."
A total of 264 workers were in the wheel-polishing workshop of the auto parts plant when the explosion occurred at 7:37 am. Official figures showed that 44 died at the scene, and 27 others died on the way to hospitals. About 187 of the injured were receiving medical treatment.
The blast, which investigators said was likely an aluminum dust explosion, shattered the two-story building of Kunshan Zhongrong Metal Products, a Taiwan-funded auto parts producer and sub-supplier for General Motors.
The severity of injuries inflicted by the blast stunned even some seasoned doctors.
"During my 27-year career, I have never seen a situation where every patient suffered burns to more than 80 percent of their body," said Zhang Qin, a doctor at the burn department of Shanghai's Ruijin Hospital. He was among the first experts to arrive. His team treated about 40 burn patients on Saturday morning.
Zhang said the death rate from severe blast injuries is "quite high" and that the final casualty number is likely to climb.
President Xi Jinping ordered an all-out effort to treat the injured and comfort the families of the dead. He has demanded a full investigation into the accident and harsh punishments for those responsible.
Premier Li Keqiang called for safety checks to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
Families and friends quickly gathered at the hospitals that received the wounded. Many of them traveled long distances from other cities.
But their loved ones were often not easy to find. Because of the large number of casualties and frequent transfers of patients, the hospitals had few options for keeping track of them. In many cases, they quickly collected saliva samples for DNA matching and wrote down contact information for future use.
A 32-year-old man from Anhui province who gave his surname as Cheng said he had tried three hospitals but still couldn't find his wife, who had been working in the factory.
Cheng, who was also a former employee of Zhongrong, said working conditions at the factory were "the worst" in Kunshan's industrial development zone.
"In the dusty environment, the only protection workers got was a mask and gloves. The air-filtering equipment is basically useless," he said.
Workers at Zhongrong could earn 5,000 yuan ($830) per month, high pay compared with neighboring factories.
