This two-part article is relevant to candidates sitting Paper F6 (UK) in either the June or December 2013 sittings, and is based on tax legislation as it applies to the tax year 2012–13 (Finance Act 2012). Read part 1 here
Paper F6 (UK) will always contain a minimum of 10 marks on value added tax (VAT). These marks will normally be included within Question 1 (focusing on income tax) or Question 2 (focusing on corporation tax), although there might be a separate question on VAT.
VAT returns
VAT returns are normally completed on a quarterly basis. Each return shows the total output VAT and total input VAT for the quarter to which it relates.
VAT returns have to be filed online within one month and seven days of the end of the relevant quarter. Any VAT payable is due at the same time, and must be paid electronically.
Example 1
For the VAT quarter ended 31 March 2013 Jet has output VAT of £12,400 and input VAT of £7,100.
- Jet's VAT return for the quarter ended 31 March 2013 will have to be submitted online by 7 May 2013, being one month and seven days after the end of the quarter.
- VAT of £5,300 (£12,400 – £7,100) is payable electronically, and this will be due on 7 May 2013 when the VAT return is submitted.
Because VAT is a self-assessed tax, HM Revenue & Customs can make control visits to VAT registered companies. The purpose of a control visit is to provide an opportunity for HM Revenue & Customs to check the accuracy of VAT returns.
VAT invoices
A VAT registered business will usually have to issue VAT invoices in respect of standard rated supplies. VAT invoices must contain certain information.
Example 2
Keen Ltd registered for VAT on 1 March 2013.
The company only sells goods, and at present issues sales invoices that show (1) the invoice date and invoice number, (2) the type of supply, (3) the quantity and a description of the goods supplied, (4) Keen Ltd's name and address, and (5) the name and address of the customer. Keen Ltd does not offer any discount for prompt payment.
The company wants to know the circumstances in which it is and is not required to issue a VAT invoice, the period during which such an invoice should be issued, and the additional information that it will have to show on its sales invoices in order that these are valid for VAT purposes.
Issue of VAT invoices
- Keen Ltd must issue a VAT invoice when it makes a standard rated supply to a VAT registered customer.
- A VAT invoice is not required if the supply is exempt, zero-rated, or if the supply is to a non-VAT registered customer.
- A VAT invoice should be issued within 30 days of the date that the supply of goods is treated as being made.
Additional information
The following information is required:
- Keen Ltd's VAT registration number.
- The tax point.
- The rate of VAT for each supply.
- The VAT-exclusive amount for each supply.
- The total VAT-exclusive amount.
- The amount of VAT payable.
The default surcharge
A default occurs if a VAT return is not submitted on time or if VAT is paid late. If the default involves the late payment of VAT then a surcharge may be incurred.
Example 3
Li has submitted her VAT returns as follows:
|Quarter ended
|VAT paid
|30 September 2011
|Two months late
|31 December 2011
|One month late
|31 March 2012
|On time
|30 June 2012
|On time
|30 September 2012
|On time
|31 December 2012
|On time
|31 March 2013
|Two months late
Li always pays any VAT that is due at the same time that the related VAT return is submitted.
- The late submission of the VAT return for the quarter ended 30 September 2011 will have resulted in HM Revenue and Customs issuing a surcharge liability notice specifying a surcharge period running to 30 September 2012.
- The late payment of VAT for the quarter ended 31 December 2011 will result in a surcharge of £572 (28,600 x 2%).
- In addition, the surcharge period will have been extended to 31 December 2012.
- Li then submitted four VAT returns on time.
- The late submission of the VAT return for the quarter ended 31 March 2013 will therefore only result in a surcharge liability notice (specifying a surcharge period running to 31 March 2014).
Errors in a VAT return
A VAT registered business that makes an error in a VAT return that results in the underpayment of VAT can be subject to both a penalty for an incorrect return and penalty interest.
Example 4
During March 2013 Zoo Ltd discovered that it had incorrectly claimed input VAT on the purchase of three motor cars when completing its VAT return for the quarter ended 31 December 2012.
- If the error is less than the higher of £10,000 or 1% of Zoo Ltd's turnover for the quarter ended 31 March 2013, then the error can be voluntarily disclosed by simply entering it on the VAT return for the quarter ended 31 March 2013.
- If the error exceeds the limit, then it can be voluntarily disclosed but disclosure must be made separately to HM Revenue and Customs.
- There will only be penalty interest where separate disclosure is required, but a penalty for an incorrect return might be imposed in either case.
The amount of penalty is based on the amount of VAT understated, but the actual penalty payable is linked to a taxpayer's behaviour.
Example 5
Continuing with Example 4:
- HM Revenue & Customs will not charge a penalty if Zoo Ltd has taken reasonable care, provided the company informs them of the error.
- However, claiming input VAT on the purchase of motor cars is more likely to be treated as careless, since Zoo Ltd would be expected to know that such input VAT is not recoverable.
- The maximum amount of penalty will therefore be 30% of the amount of input VAT incorrectly claimed, but this penalty could be reduced to nil if unprompted disclosure is made to HM Revenue & Customs.
Imports and exports
When a UK VAT registered business imports goods into the UK from outside the European Union, then VAT has to be paid at the time of importation. This VAT can then be reclaimed as input VAT on the VAT return for the period during which the goods were imported.
Example 6
Yung Ltd is registered for VAT in the UK. The company has the choice of purchasing goods costing £1,000 (exclusive of VAT) from either a UK supplier or from a supplier situated outside the European Union.
- If Yung Ltd purchases the goods from a UK supplier then it will pay the supplier £1,200 (1,000 plus VAT of 200 (1,000 x 20%)), and then reclaim input VAT of £200.
- If the goods are instead purchased from a supplier situated outside the European Union, then Yung Ltd will pay £1,000 to the supplier, £200 to HM Revenue and Customs, and then reclaim input VAT of £200.
- In each case Yung Ltd has paid £1,200 and reclaimed £200.
Regular importers can defer the payment of VAT on importation by setting up an account with HM Revenue & Customs. It is necessary to provide a bank guarantee, but VAT is then accounted for on a monthly basis.
When a UK VAT registered business exports goods outside of the European Union then the supply is zero-rated.
Trading within the European Union
When a UK VAT registered business acquires goods from within the European Union, then VAT has to be accounted for according to the date of acquisition. The date of acquisition is the earlier of the date that a VAT invoice is issued or the 15th day of the month following the month in which the goods come into the UK.
This VAT charge is declared on the VAT return as output VAT, but can be reclaimed as input VAT on the same VAT return (this is known as the reverse charge procedure). Therefore for most businesses there is no VAT cost as the output VAT and the corresponding input VAT contra out. The only time that there is a VAT cost is if a business makes exempt supplies, since an exempt business cannot reclaim any input VAT.
Example 7
Continuing with Example 6:
Yung Ltd also has the option of purchasing goods from a supplier situated in the European Union.
- Yung Ltd will pay £1,000 to the supplier. Then on its VAT return the company will show output VAT of £200 and input VAT of £200.
- The end result is the same as with an import from outside the European Union, but with a European Union acquisition there is no need to actually pay the VAT subsequent to its recovery as input VAT.
When a UK VAT registered business supplies goods to another VAT registered business within the European Union then the supply is zero-rated.
International services
Services supplied to a VAT registered business are generally treated as being supplied in the country where the customer is situated. Therefore, where a UK VAT registered business receives international services the place of supply will be the UK.
Example 8
Wing Ltd is registered for VAT in the UK. The company receives supplies of standard rated services from VAT registered businesses situated elsewhere within the European Union. As business to business services these are treated as being supplied in the UK.
- VAT will be accounted for on the earlier of the date that the service is completed or the date it is paid for.
- The VAT charged at the UK VAT rate should be declared on wing Ltd's VAT return as output VAT, but will then be reclaimed as input VAT on the same VAT return.
The supply of international services by a UK VAT registered business will generally be outside the scope of UK VAT as the place of supply will be outside the UK.
The cash accounting, annual accounting and flat rate schemes
The cash accounting, annual accounting and flat rate schemes are all available to small businesses. Be careful that the schemes are not confused, as they are completely different from each other.
The cash accounting scheme enables a business to account for VAT on a cash basis. The scheme will normally be beneficial where a period of credit is given to customers. It also results in automatic relief for impairment losses. The disadvantage is that input VAT will only be recovered when purchases and expenses are paid for.
Example 9
Ming is registered for VAT. She has annual standard rated sales of £800,000. This figure is inclusive of VAT. Ming pays her expenses on a cash basis, but allows customers three months credit when paying for sales. Several of her customers have recently defaulted on the payment of their debts.
- Ming can use the cash accounting scheme if her expected taxable turnover for the next 12 months does not exceed £1,350,000 exclusive of VAT.
- In addition, she must be up to date with her VAT returns and VAT payments.
- Output VAT will be accounted for three months later than at present since the scheme will result in the tax point becoming the date that payment is received from customers.
- The recovery of input VAT on expenses will not be affected as these are paid in cash.
- The scheme will provide automatic relief for an impairment loss should a customer default on the payment of a debt.
In contrast, the advantage of the annual accounting scheme is mainly administrative, since a business only has to submit one VAT return each year.
Example 10
Newt Ltd is registered for VAT. The company has annual standard rated sales of £950,000. This figure is inclusive of VAT. Because of bookkeeping problems Newt Ltd has been late in submitting its recent VAT returns.
- Newt Ltd can apply to use the annual accounting scheme if its expected taxable turnover for the next 12 months does not exceed £1,350,000 exclusive of VAT.
- In addition the company must be up to date with its VAT payments.
- Under the scheme only one VAT return is submitted each year. This is due within two months of the end of the annual VAT period.
- The resulting reduced administration should mean that default surcharges are avoided in respect of the late submission of VAT returns.
- Nine monthly payments are made on account of VAT commencing in month four of the annual VAT return period. Any balancing payment is made with the VAT return.
- Each payment on account will be 10% of the VAT payable for the previous year. This will improve both budgeting and possibly cash flow where a business is expanding.
The flat rate scheme can simplify the way in which small businesses calculate their VAT liability. Under the flat rate scheme, a business calculates its VAT liability by simply applying a flat rate percentage to total income. This removes the need to calculate and record output VAT and input VAT.
The flat rate percentage is applied to the gross total income figure (including exempt supplies) with no input VAT being recovered. The percentage varies according to the type of trade that the business is involved in, and will be given to you in the exam.
Example 11
Omah registered for VAT on 1 January 2013. He has annual standard rated sales of £80,000, and these are all made to the general public. Omah has annual standard rated expenses of £12,000. Both figures are exclusive of VAT. The relevant flat rate scheme percentage for Omah's trade is 13%.
- Omah can use the flat rate scheme if his expected taxable turnover for the next 12 months does not exceed £150,000 exclusive of VAT.
- In addition, the expected total income (including VAT and exempt supplies) for the next 12 months must not exceed £230,000.
- The main advantage of the scheme is the simplified VAT administration. Omah's customers are not VAT registered, so there will be no need to issue VAT invoices.
- Using the normal basis of calculating the VAT liability, Omah will have to pay annual VAT of £13,600 (80,000 – 12,000 = 68,000 x 20%).
- If he uses the flat rate scheme then Omah will pay VAT of £12,480 (80,000 + 16,000 (output VAT of 80,000 x 20%) = 96,000 x 13%), which is an annual saving of £1,120 (13,600 – 12,480)
There is quite a lot to remember when studying VAT, although the subject itself is not particularly complicated. You will normally find that several different topics are covered within each VAT question, and so it is important that you cover the whole subject area.

New Product Introduction (NPI) is a cornerstone of the capabilities that Summit offers to the EMSmarket. As they say, "Everything must start somewhere, sometime". Here are some of the recent highlights.
Summit Helps Turn Camera Glasses Into RealityJuly 7, 2017
A interesting project Summit/ems is working on for an entrepreneur in Wyoming was recently featured in the Pharos-Tribune. Read more about Robert Fuziak's smart glass project Omniwearables- and how Summit/ems is helping to make the dream a reality - here:
Made to order - Logansport firm helping turn camera glasses into reality
Production Launches ContinueNovember 21, 2016
The economy seems to be supportive towards new product launches. Two prototypes projects completed in the last few months have been approved for full rate production. Two products are entering the electronic production phase. This is the goal at Summit because this is where our customers start to recover their development costs and validate the demand for the products.
New Virginia CustomerNovember 21, 2016
A Virginia customer came to Summit to help resolve quality and delivery problems with an existing source. The product is an open source 2.4GHz wireless development platform suitable for Bluetooth experimentation and a second product that supports RFID/NFC research. Qualification products were produced and full rate production is just around the corner in early 2017.
Motion Sensor PrototypeNovember 21, 2016
A new Indiana customer came to Summit to produce the second iteration prototypes for a motion and presence sensor for automatic door control as well as pedestrian, bicycle and traffic sensing. In addition to producing the electronic prototypes, software programming and production testing were also validated in the early stage to allow an acceleration of the production launch. Sensing controls are becoming more of a Midwest industry and Summit is partnering with OEM to reduce the time to market timeline.
Solar Power Charging ControlNovember 21, 2016
The second iteration prototype for a portable charging control that converts solar energy to stored energy in a Lithium Ion battery pack to charge USB chargeable devices when you are off the grid. Product Launch is targeted for the first quarter of 2017. Summit has provided prototype and production manufacturing services for this OEM developer since 2010 and the new solar charger is the latest in a string of New Product Introductions.
Wireless Controller for LED lighting systemSeptember 14, 2016
Summit was approached by a Midwest LED system OEM to produce its first wireless LED controller for a mobile application. Working closely with a Midwest Design Center located in Ohio, the prototype units were delivered on time and are now in field testing with our customer. Immediate movement to field testing was enhanced as the PCBA worked the first time in the test lab.
Eye Glass Mounted CameraSeptember 14, 2016
OK, call us crazy but we signed on to produce a product for the recreational biking market of a look behind camera that mounts on the user's eyeglass frame (camera on one side and battery pack on the other). The prototype was one of the most complex PCBA's that Summit has manufactured and was needed to produce the Crowdfunding video to gain investor interest. The product was delivered to the Ohio design center for testing and then off the mountains of Wyoming for field testing. We will keep you posted on this one.

The more things change, the more they stay the same in the AFL; 14 rounds into the 2016 season competition heavyweights Hawthorn are on top of the ladder.
The challengers have come thick and fast for the Hawks this year, but Alastair Clarkson's men have overcome inconsistent form and injuries to key personnel to claw their way to the top of the pile once again.
For all of their doubters, Hawthorn's bid for a historic fourth premiership in a row appears on track as they head into their bye – albeit after a surprisingly hard-fought win over lowly Gold Coast.
"All you can do in this game is keep notching up the challenges that you've got from week to week and we've been able to do that on 11 occasions now," Clarkson said after his side went top with an 11-3 record.
"We're pleased that we get a little bit of a break now.
"We've worked hard to get to this point in time but it will be good to have a bit of a deep breath for four or five days and then get ourselves ready for what promises to be a really fascinating battle against Port Adelaide next Thursday week."
Geelong held top spot by percentage heading into round 14 but slipped to third after they were upset by St Kilda, by three points at Etihad Stadium.
The enthralling contest produced a major talking point after red-hot Brownlow Medal favourite Patrick Dangerfield was involved in a brief scuffle with Jarryn Geary.
Dangerfield caught Geary in the head with his knee as he attempted to break free, but the Cats' onballer said he wasn't worried about receiving a ban over the incident.
"From my perspective it is (a beat-up) … it's hard to get up when someone's grabbing your leg," Dangerfield told the Nine Network's Sunday Footy Show.
"From my perspective the contact was very much insufficient (to warrant a report)."
The Saints joined the logjam of five teams with 6-7 records sitting two games outside the eight.
Port Adelaide, Melbourne, Richmond, St Kilda and Carlton – in that order – occupy ninth to 13th on the ladder, with all holding onto faint hopes they can mount a charge for a finals berth.
Adelaide, Collingwood, Richmond and Greater Western Sydney were the other winners from round 14.
North Melbourne, Greater Western Sydney, Brisbane, Fremantle, Geelong and Hawthorn have the last of the byes before full rounds resume.

When the narrative identity "I" free itself from all the impressions of Mind, body and emotions, and merge itself in the soul, the man attains Moksha or Liberation, in ones life time. Buddha and Mahavira are the fine examples of it.
It is an extremely high state of illumination. A kind of freedom or Liberation as it is generally known. It is not the final realisation of the Self. This is total, conscious, inseparable and last for 24 hrs every day. It is irreversible.
Moksha sits at the top of the tree,sure, or you could say that this Soul has entered the Palace-Mansion from a side door only. The freed Soul is on the top of the tree but afraid to climb down lest he be caught by ignorance. The Realised Soul has free access to the top of the tree and bottom also, and can come and go at His sweet will. He has access to the entire Mansion which has become His.

It's been a few years since the "are video games art" question has been raised and pretty much resolved. Yes, video games are art. But with that question out of the way, we're left with "what's next?" To that end, I believe we are lucky that many outlets (such as our own) are more than willing to discuss games as an art form, in a similar vein to the way we discuss books or movies. For this week's web crush, I want to highlight Vice's gaming division: Waypoint.

Self-Care & Geeky Shows to Help You Deal with the Rise of Facism
I don't know about you all, but I have been struggling a bit recently. It's hard to deal with life when you wake up every day trying to figure out what damage the current administration has done to your country and the rest of the world. During times like these, self-care is really important. Yes, we need to stay proactive and keep fighting, but we also need to remember to take a break and recharge ourselves once in a while. I always turn to my favorite geeky shows to help me recharge. A lot of geeky media is about fighting the government/powers that be, which is great, and sometimes, that is exactly what I need. But other times it's nice to just forget about fighting the good fight. So here are some of my go-to favorite geeky self-care shows that'll let you relax, at least for a little while.
Web Crush Wednesdays: Are They Gay?
I'm not sure where I first stumbled upon the Are They Gay? web series, but I'm sure glad I did. This series provides a funny, inclusive, and informative analysis of various slash ships that starts and ends with asking the titular question: are these two people gay? It features a wide variety of pairings including mlm and wlw slash ships, and is a great primer to the history and background of certain ships in addition to ultimately offering an answer to that pressing question.
Web Crush Wednesdays: Betty Dodson & Carlin Ross
With a hellish election season finally wrapped up here in the United States, I can't help but think back to all of the disgustingly sexist things that have happened. It made me think for the billionth time that we need better sex education in this country. Particularly, we need better sex and gender education, and everyone regardless of gender needs to learn about feminism. Well, sadly, we all know that isn't happening in our current education system, which is why I am so grateful for those people on YouTube who try to educate others. Today I specifically want to talk about Carlin Ross and Betty Dodson, two amazing feminists and sex educators whose goal is to help de-stigmatize women's bodies, help women learn about their bodies, promote a healthy sex-positive attitude, and promote women's rights.
Warning for explicit discussion of sex and general NSFW-ness after the jump.
Trailer Tuesdays: Arrival
As a bit of a language nerd, I was beyond thrilled when I first stumbled across this trailer. A sci-fi movie where the real enemy is ignorance, and the protagonist is a linguist and translator who's just been tapped for the most important ethnography of her life? Sign me up.
Trailer Tuesdays: Star Wars: Rogue One
It's been ten or so days since the trailer for Rogue One first dropped, which means I've had time to cycle through a full circuit of emotions.
The Everyman vs Every Human: Why The Martian Is Worth Your Time
I've been traveling a lot for work lately, and instead of listening to the same twenty songs on every radio station I pass, I've opted for an Audible subscription, so I can entertain myself with audiobooks. My first choice was The Martian, by Andy Weir. The Martian follows in a well-established heritage of survivalist fiction, but in a way that counts as science fiction. There's a movie coming out next month starring Matt Damon and a bunch of other famous actors, which is what initially inspired me to "read" the book. The premise for The Martian is simple: American astronaut Mark Watney is left for dead on the surface of Mars when his team is forced to flee a massive dust storm… except whoops, Mark's actually alive. What follows is a story of questions: Can Mark survive? Will he ever be able to contact Earth, and if he does, can he even survive long enough to come and get him? How much is one person's life worth, anyway?
I won't spoil the ending for you, I promise. But I do want to take a look at how The Martian is a wonderful, thought-provoking new addition to the world of science fiction on multiple levels. Science fiction isn't just about advanced technology and space stuff; the real hallmark of the genre pushes for answers to the big questions of life in new ways. It imagines what could be, not what is. The Martian has a universal quality to its story, and that's what makes it a success.
Minor spoilers for The Martian below the jump.

Rayani Airlines makes its maiden flight
The world's first airline compliant with Sharia law has been unveiled in Malaysia.
Rayani Airlines, a new low-cost airline, says it strictly follows Sharia rules "based on guidelines by relevant authorities", according to managing director Jaafar Zamhari.
Speaking as the firm launched its maiden flight , Mr Zamhari announced the rules include mandatory hijabs for female Muslim cabin crew, while non-Muslims must wear "a decent uniform".
Prayers will be recited before the departure of each flight – while alcohol is strictly forbidden and any food and beverages provided will be halal, according to local news outlet Astro Awani.
The airline currently only provides domestic flights, but plans to expand its network internationally over the next year.
Mr Zamhari mentioned plans to introduce routes in the Middle East and flights for the Umrah and Hajj, which are annual pilgrimages taken by Muslims to Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
Plans for a UK-based sharia-compliant airline are also underway, with the launch of Firnas Airwaysset for next year.
Firnas Airways, founded by Bangladeshi businessman Kazi Shafiqur Rahman, seeks to combine a "Sharia-compliant approach to funding, alcohol and food with a more upscale cabin product than available to many Islamic destinations", reports Bloomberg.
Other airlines that comply with some Sharia laws include Emirates, which does not serve pork products on its flights, and Etihad, which has a travel prayer before take-off.
'Sharia law' refers to the legal framework based on the moral and legal code of Islam. Malaysia is a majority Muslim country, with over 61 per cent of the population identifying as Muslim.
According to an international Pew Research Centre poll of Muslims, 86 per cent of Muslim Malaysians surveyed agreed Sharia should be the official law of the land in their country.
The Malaysian government has long promoted the country as a "moderate" Muslim country – although conservative attitudes appear to be on the rise, according to a report by local news outlet Free Malaysia , reported by independent.co.uk

Good Hotel Guide Review
Admirers of Sue and James Murray's 'characterful', 'beautiful old manor' continue to sing its praises. 'It is uniformly excellent, with high standards of hotel-keeping, comfort and service,' says a guest this year. 'Welcoming and hospitable', the Murrays 'create a very friendly atmosphere'; 'they are always on hand to give advice and answer any questions'. Once home to the Duke of Albemarle, 'the hotel is full of history, including lots of antiques, portraits and books'. Individually decorated bedrooms (an oversized sleigh bed in one, a roll-top bath in another; glossy magazines throughout) overlook parkland and hillside, woodland or gardens. At aperitif o'clock, nibble on canapés by the log fire in the bar – 'the owner served our drinks himself, chatting amicably' – before sitting down to an 'impeccable' dinner. Chef Matthew Peryer wins acclaim for his modern dishes, perhaps citrus-roasted pollack, home-grown parsley root, steamed mussels and clams. Fruit compotes, yogurt, freshly squeezed juice and 'copious' amounts of smoked salmon are served at table at breakfast; 'a great basket of various breads and freshly baked pastries just for the two of us'. (Richard Batson). This hotel is a member of Pride of Britain hotels.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE PRINCE HALL SHRINERS A.E.A.O.N.M.S. (Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine) (From the Book: HISTORY OF PRINCE HALL SHRINERS A.E.A.O.N.M.S.) by Noble Frank J. Butler 33 degree H.P.I.P. Imperial Deputy of the Desert of California Copyright (c) 1991 WELL IN THE DESERT RBBS/L.STEVENSON all rights reserved (r) HISTORY OF THE NOBLES OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE. Back through the days of the Middle Ages and into the early Christian period runs the history of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The shores of the Mediterranaen gave this Order birth,and fostered it for thirteen hundred years. There it prospers as of old, but now serving largely a different purpose. Originally it was used for the propagation of the Moslem faith and to aid in the enforcement of the laws, rendering justice where the usual means were too slow or too uncertain. The Order of today - the Order as we know it in this country - practices the virtues of Charity and Brotherly love. No longer Moslem, nor yet Christian, it is builded upon the broader plane that receives all men alike if they believe in a Diety and are of character such as will pass the strict qualificatons for membership. The modern Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine insists upon the highest Masonic qualifications,,hus insuring that none but men of unquestioned character may cross its portals, but the ancient Order required a firm belief in the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and obeisance to Allah. Founded in Mecca, in Arabia, in 644 A.D., the Order spread through Arabia, Syria, into Egypt, Morocco,and other countries bordering on the southern shores of the Mediteranian. It was carried into Italy in 1698, to Bavaria, and thence to Germany and England in 1778, but was not fully established in the U.S. until 1872. Wm. J. Florence, white, the noted American Comedian, first received the Order in France, afterwards gaining further instructon in Egypt; and he was responsible for its introduction into this country. John G. Jones, black, was authorized by Imperial Deputy Robert Pasha to confir the Degree of the Order,to establish Temples and a Grand council. Under his authority,Temples were organized in Chicago, Indianapolis, Pittsburb, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, New York, Providence, St. Paul, and other cities. Discord came,and John G.Jones was expelled by the Supreme Council, October 22, 1896. After much storm, the Imperial Council was organized, under which Council the Prince Hall Masons are allied. Many high men in Masonry opposed Shrinedom, fearing it would be to the dettriment of Masonry, to which nothing can be added or taken away. In time however, they saw that the Order had nothing to do with Masonry except the very high compliment it payed the Ancient and Accepted Order of receiving only its most honored members;but finally they had to admit that the Order of the Mystic Shrine was a monument to Masonry. The qualifications for membership to the Shrine are either being a Thirty-second Degree Scottish Rite Mason, or a Knight Templer in good standing to assure an association of men of the highest calibre and type - men who have been subjected to the rigorous tests of all the degrees of Masonry, principle among which are character, respect for the laws of the country and the city, integrity, right living, - and all that goes to make up a good citizenship. Every Noble should be a God-fearing man. The Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, - in all ages - no less today than in the years when savage hoards roamed over the Arabian deserts,swooping down upon the scattered oases on missions of murder and robbery; have had valuable and mighty feats to perform;strong organization was necessary then to hold these hordes in check. Right living is necessary now to keep back the outlaws of ir-religion,of intolerance, of bigotry, and of excess. In character, the Order of the Mystic Shrine - may be said to be the broad plane of religion and the enforcement of the laws, whether based upon the Koran the Books of Moses, or the Scriptures of the Christian apostles. The Order of the Mystic Shrine was founded when Kalif-Alec, cousin-german and son-in-law of the Prophet Mohammed himself, conceived the idea of a superior court. Strictly Arabian in its composition, this court was to deal out justice to violaters of the law where the ordinary process would not reach, - to break down corrupt influence, to form respect for and support of the law, - to be an inquisition - -if you will - the founders of the UNWRITTEN LAW. The Order of the Mystic Shrine, though its character is altered by the advance of Civilization,is still one of the most highly favored of the many that abound in the Orient. As at the outset, it continues to gather into its membership men of THOUGHT, of CULTURE, of TOLERATION, and of JUSTICE! Christians became identified with the Order, and likewise Jews. Its field as well as its fame soon spread out from under the Star and Crescent. -- Allah and the God of Issac and of Jacob were worshipped from the same altars! This history of the Order, in regards to the Order's history in Arabia, in Egypt, and Persia, and in Turkey, is incomplete at the present time. The work was interrupted by many revolutions, and for many years it lay dormant. From time to time, - however, it was revived and doubtless the secrets of the Order were handed down through a few Nobles during those intervals, for we find that when occasion arose, the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine were in evidence to carry out the unwritten law, in co-operation with the written law, or Koran. THUS ENDS THE LECTURE ENTITLED HISTORY OF THE NOBLES OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE. THE PLACE OF THE ORDER OF THE NOBLES OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE- - AMONG FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS. In trying to depict to you the place of the Order of the Nobles of the Mysic Shrine among other fraternal organizations, - I would say that the Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine stands as a preacher among a group of Christians -Second to none! Because of the Superior requirements to become a member of the Shrine you will find that its membership consists mostly of men of thought, of culture and of justice. When brought to this country,it was deemed expedient to place it in the hands of Freemasons only, owing to the fact that Masons were regarded as a choice of the best men in the land. Then also, having past the ordeal of obligation, the Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine would be safer with them than with the general run of the unobligated masses. So there you can see that its place is at the apex. May I digress to explain to you a few things about Freemasonry, the foundation upon which Shrinedom is built? Freemaonry is not only the oldest, - but also, and in a real sense - - THE MOTHER OF ALL SIMILAR FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS. Its exact origin is unknown, but according to the "old charge" delivered to candidates candidates it is an ancient and honorable institution - ancient no doubt, - as having subsisted from time immemorial, and honorable it must be,since by a natural tendency it has served so to improve all men who obey its precepts. A man must have a good reputaion before he can be selected as a Mason, and after all, - a Shriner is nothing but a Mason. It is a well known fact, to Masons at least, that in every clime, among all colors, castes, and creeds, a Mason may be found, consequently, a Mason's charity is bounded by shoreless seas and a never setting sun. The lapse of time, the envy of men, and the ruthless hand of ignorance are trying to destroy the cream of worthwhile organizations, including Shrinedom. Even the Temple of Solomon, so spacious and magnificent, and constructed by so many celebrated artists,escaped not the unsparing ravages of barbarous force So let us remember that the Temple of Solomon was destroyed,also material structures perish, while spiritual values - such as those lessons inculcated in the several Masonic Degrees - will live forever. Our fraternity, Shrinedom, is no transient hobby. It has numbered among its members the wisest and best men of the ages. To be a member of such a fraternity is indeed a privilige and an honor, because the men who make up the organization have worked and labored up through the Consistory & the Commandery,which are among the highest degrees in Masonry, and as a result, it takes its place among other fraternal organizations,as well as in the world at large. There are two charactoristics prevalent in the maintenance of Shrinedom: -first - Trust in God - for Masons must be trusted to keep faith -- and one who beleif in Diety is not to be trusted because he has no anchor to has no beleif in Diety is not to be trusted - because he has no anchor to hold him steady in times of storm, hence, sound Masonic character would exclude the athiest. Secondly, trust in one's fellow-man, for one's faith in his fellow-man must endure, whenever possible, good council, abolish error, and aid in reformation, because one is a poor Mason when he fails to offer the friendly rebuke where it is needed with just as much admiration as he gives the means of praise and com-- mendation. So the God of Masonry and the Prophet of the Mohammedans find common ground for discussion when they remember that when Hagar and her outcast son, Ishmael, were perishing of thirst in the desert, an Angel revealed to them - a spring of pure water near the sight of the ancient tabernacle. This is today as known as "The Well of Zem Zem," now sacred in the eyes of the Faithful. In this Temple was later placed the ancient Kaaba stone which was given the builders of the tabernacle by the angel Gabriel. Each may survive without the other (Masonry and Shrinedom) but, through the ages they, though different, yet find a common ground of behavior in that one day they work as devoted craftsmen and the next day, during periods of refreshment, they play in the ancient sands of the Nomads of old. In conclusion Brethren - we are living in a world in which the strings of selfishness,irreverence and intolerance need to be torn off the violin of life. IF THERE ONLY BE ONE STRING LEFT ON LIFE'S HARP, LET IT BE THAT OF SERVICE!- Therefore-We should think the best, expect the best, then trust God for the rest! and in so doing, Shrinedom will find itself paramount to other Fraternal organizations. THUS ENDS THE LECTURE ENTITLED: THE PLACE OF THE NOBLES OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE AMONG THE FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS. By Henry C, Clausen 33~ Past Sovereign Grand commander A.A.S.R.

Dr. Varsha Bundela on Craze of 'Desirable Looks' through Cosmetic Surgery
- IWB Post
- June 10, 2015
Cosmetic surgery is a growing practice these days. There is always a general debate about the appropriateness of cosmetic surgery and the risks involved. JWB chats about this choice women make with Jaipur based Dr. Varsha Bundele, Cosmetic Surgeon from Vivan Hospital.
JWB: For what kind of surgeries patients mostly approach you?
Dr. Varsha: Patients usually come in for correction of the facial profile, especially rhinoplasty (surgery of nose). Quite a few of them also come for removals of the localized fat collection (liposuction). Some women opt for breast augmentation and reduction also.
JWB: Would you say that this tendency of opting for cosmetic surgery is more prevalent in females as compared to males?
Dr. Varsha: Not really. Male patients are equally conscious of their facial profiles, and the percentage of males and females opting for surgeries like rhinoplasty is almost equal. A number of male patients goes for Gynecomezia Surgery, which essentially involves reduction of enlarged and protruding male breasts which tend to give men a feminine look.
JWB: Have there been instances when you refused to perform surgery?
Dr. Varsha: Yes. Breast surgery is not recommended unless there is some serious reason like a burn scar on the breast that can hamper its proper development. To perform surgeries like rhinoplasty and genioplasty (surgery of chin), a patient has to be at least sixteen to seventeen years old, so that the development of the face can be complete.
JWB: What percentage of plastic surgery cases do teenagers account for?
Dr. Varsha: Teenagers account for 10-20% of total plastic surgery cases. However, if looked at aesthetic surgery specifically, the number would approximate to about 8-10%.
JWB: You have been in this profession for past several years. Has there been any significant difference in the quantity and form of patients?
Dr. Varsha: With increasing incomes and the enormous exposure provided by media, there has definitely been an increase in the demand. However, it depends on us to counsel them on pre- and post-operative complications and explain the emotional as well as the physical implications that comes with plastic surgery.
JWB: What are the possible reasons for such a trend among the youth?
Dr. Varsha: The huge importance that is given to physical appearance these days is unbelievable. Plastic surgery is becoming more acceptable as they are becoming sensitive about their appearance and self-image in public.
JWB: Do people really understand the permanence of procedures?
Dr. Varsha: Plus there are risks and stress related to realistic expectations. It all has to be discussed carefully. Our foremost job is to detect unrealistic expectations.
JWB: Are there guidelines available to help plastic surgeons with the psychological assessment of patients?
Dr. Varsha: When you evaluate a patient, it is not just the physical examination; it is also an assessment of patients' emotional and mental health and stability. The consultation is a 2-way street: The patient assesses the surgeon to determine whether the surgeon is competent, caring, and appropriate for them, and the surgeon assesses the patient for appropriateness for the surgery.
JWB: Should the number or type of cosmetic procedures that are available for teens be limited?
Dr. Varsha: Some types of procedures simply are not appropriate. For instance, we generally do not perform breast implants until at least 18 years of age, and silicone implants cannot be done until patients reach 22. It is unusual to perform breast reduction before 15. An exception may be made for young patients with dramatically uneven breast development.
There are several procedures that are increasingly performed on teens. For example, liposuction in teenagers is discouraged, but some patients have specific medical conditions that make it appropriate. Obviously, it should not be done until nonsurgical approaches have been tried.
You should never do surgery – at any age or in any patient – unless the benefits outweigh the risks, and the improvement that is possible is greater than the costs and risks of surgery.
JWB: Should there be legal limits?
Dr. Varsha: There is no legal prohibitions because there are often special medical circumstances.
JWB: Do patients ever have regrets about their cosmetic surgery later?
Dr. Varsha: There are always a small percentage of patients, at any age, who have some regrets after the surgery is done. That is why doctors need to try to evaluate "How are you going to feel about this in 2 or 3 years?" and not just "What do you want today?"

May 27, 2014 10:56:13 AM
The Columbus Police Department confirmed this morning that a man wanted in connection with a fatal shooting Friday has turned himself in.
Latasha Key, with CPD criminal investigations division, said Kale Scott turned himself in to authorities Sunday. The 19-year-old, whose last known address is 3531 West Lindsey Rd., had been wanted for questioning in connection with a shooting that occurred at a graduation party at the Columbus Fairgrounds around 12:05 a.m. Friday.
Key said Scott is expected to go before a judge today and be charged.
He is expected to face murder charges.
Investigators claim Scott pulled a gun at the party and started shooting after an argument.
Devin Montgomery, 21, suffered a gunshot wound to the back during the incident and was later pronounced dead at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle, according to Lowndes County coroner Greg Merchant.
Another person was shot in the leg and treated at the hospital for non-life threatening injuries, according to Merchant.
Interim Police Chief Tony Carleton said Scott turned himself in at roughly 6 p.m. Sunday. He was booked at approximately 6:15 p.m. at the Lowndes County Detention Center.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
William Browning was managing editor for The Dispatch until June 2016.

The Renault F1 Team qualified strongly for tomorrow's United States Grand Prix this afternoon at Indianapolis, with Giancarlo Fisichella taking third position and Fernando Alonso fifth.
Both drivers endured a difficult morning, struggling to get rid of an understeering car balance, and Fernando in particular continued to battle against this during the qualifying session.
Giancarlo Fisichella completed a pressured qualifying hour in style with competitive laps in the final part of the session to put him third on the grid, while Fernando Alonso will start fifth -- with hopes of racing for a podium finish tomorrow.
In the face of particularly strong competition from Ferrari, the team's objective will be to score the maximum number of championship points possible in order to preserve as large an advantage as possible in the constructors' chase.
Giancarlo Fisichella, 3rd position:
"I am really pleased to be third on the grid because this has not been the best circuit for us so far this weekend. I was quite happy with the car today, but we still have grip problems and we don't know why. Looking to the race, I am feeling confident and we have to be optimistic about our chances. We need to fight for a good finish to keep ourselves in a strong position in the championship."
Fernando Alonso, 5th position:
"I did the maximum possible today. The car was understeering this morning and we worked to try and correct it during practice. In the end, we were adding front wing during qualifying as well to get a better balance, but it was still difficult to drive and costing me time. The Grand Prix tomorrow will be a long one, so hopefully the strategy will work well for us and help me gain positions. I will be aiming for the podium, and trying to limit the damage in the championship."
Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering:
"It seemed obvious after practice this morning that we would not be able to race Ferrari this weekend, and it would have been wrong to compromise our race strategy by going for the front row today. Giancarlo put in some excellent qualifying laps today and deserved his place on the second row."
"We were not able to get rid of the understeer on Fernando's car but although this has compromised his performance today, things may turn in his favour tomorrow with track temperatures expected to be in the high 40s."
"On the tyre side, the main concern this weekend was the durability of the tyres. The professional engineering approach Michelin took to the problems they experienced last year has solved that, and we look forward to a safe race tomorrow. There is no doubt it will also be a very tough Grand Prix, but we will certainly be racing for the podium."
Denis Chevrier, Head of Trackside Engine Operations:
"Last weekend in Montreal, our grid positions made us favourites for the race; today, we are much more clearly the challengers, with very strong opposition ahead of us on the grid. On the engine side, the weekend has unfolded normally and the RS26 engines have performed strongly. Our straightline speeds are competitive, which leaves us in a strong position for the race, and we are confident in our strategy."
"It will be an extremely hot Grand Prix, which could have consequences for the reliability of all the engines on a circuit where they are under extreme duress. We expect a race full of difficult challenges, but one in which, if we perform to our potential, we can still score plenty of points."

Some DP1 Merril first test results
I've fumbling through the Sigma experience for a few years now. Like my SD14--with either an old 15-30mm or a 28-70. Like the DP1s--an Amazon sale prize from a few years ago--nearly the only digital camera I've taken with me anywhere for the last 2+ years. Some 6500 shots on the DP1s and still going--very consistent and reliable results in the field in all manner of light.
I was probably making harsh assessments yesterday on the DP1m. The shots taken in mid-day when a bright sun was actually getting through clouds show the camera takes nice, neutral-looking colors and careful exposure catches all the higher values at 100 ISO--but the late day, waning light shots just look to take more care and possibly more processing. What I was shooting was limiting for assessing the camera as well.
The ca is manageable--but the purple fringing seems something on top of typical ca. Nearly all of it about disappears if one uses the All Fringe removal feature in Photoshop camera raw--but this makes subtle deductions of color across the whole image. Have noticed the images from the DP1m seem to tolerate more of Sigma's fill feature in the current SPP. I should try and post a few jpgs from yesterday.
I'll keep the camera and make it work. Plan to haul it around Yellowstone with a lot of old film TLR's and German 6x6 folders and a few bigger cameras from time to time.

I saw the Fantasticks off-Broadway in the early 70s. My favorite character was the wall, and the thing I recall was how such a spare set allowed each member of the audience to fill in individual details from their experience. Such a vast difference from (say) 19th century novels with their overly-long passages of description.

Opportunities to learn are all around us, if we will open our minds & hearts (and not be too afraid of getting rocks back when we toss flowers.)
I've never seen this play, but I often go to summer stock productions, and I will keep an eye out for it.

Farmers Markets have many benefits beyond helping the food desert problem. Did you know that the average grocery item must travel 1,300 miles just to get from the field to your table (WSFMA)? Furthermore, most produce is harvested while it is still immature so that it can withstand travel better. You could also be eating ethylene gas, which is used to treat some fruits and vegetables to make them look ripe, but the appearance doesn't mean it tastes ripe (WSFMA)!
Many people would be shocked to find out that the quality of fresh fruits and vegetables begin to decline right after harvest. Broccoli loses 1/3 of its vitamin C in two days and by the time Mexican asparagus gets to Seattle, it has already lost 2/3 of its vitamins (WSFMA).
When shopping at a Farmers Market, the majority of the time the produce was harvested hours before arriving at the market. Many people believe that shopping at a farmers market might be more expensive than a grocery store, but a national survey of 15 cities found that the food items were cheaper at a farmers market a whopping 91 percent of the time (WSFMA)! When a dollar is spent at a farmers market, the farmer keeps the entire dollar. When selling to grocery stores, a farmer only sees a percentage of that dollar. This allows the consumer to save money by buying directly from the farmer. Next time you need fresh produce, get real freshness at your Farmers Market instead of foods that have already lost the majority of their vitamins and nutrients. You'll find that it tastes better, you're supporting your local economy, and you could save money! Try supporting your local Farmers Market or try to get one set up if you don't already have one.

Safe And Reliable Enclosed Auto Transport
Enclosed auto transport is a safe and reliable way to move vehicles without the worry of damage, wear and theft. Moving several cars at once can be a logistical nightmare, especially if the cars are highly valuable. Driving them can be a problem as many owners do not want to put extra miles on the cars. Additionally, there is worry about the cars getting wrecked in an accident. Placing them on an open car transport still leaves them vulnerable for road damage or theft. In this situation, car owners often rely on enclosed auto transport to move their vehicles. The cars are protected, and the car owner can relax knowing the cars are safe.

Help me name a company
So, my roommate is building an augmented reality company. He'd provide AR interfaces for commercial purposes. For example: you could try on clothes by holding up your smart phone to a mirror with you in it to see which Threadless shirt looks most badass on you. There is only one other company similar, and it is called APPEAR with the AR at the end a different color, which is a great name. You guy are good at naming shirts, perhaps you'd have great names for a company. :)
ETA: Remember, the company does general purpose AR. I used the clothing thing as an example. It can be used to see the interior of a house for sale, stats for a baseball player when he goes up to bat, or how a 60 inch television will look in your house.

BOZEMAN – Two more satellites built by Montana State University students and partners at the University of New Hampshire have launched on a NASA mission.
Originally set for Jan. 29, then Jan. 30, the launch finally occurred at 7:22 a.m. Mountain time Saturday, Jan. 31. Less than three hours later, reports came in that both satellites were communicating with Earth. About 75 minutes after the launch, MSU's satellite development program was featured on NASA TV.
"The opportunity our MSU students have to design and build sophisticated space flight hardware, get it launched on a NASA mission, and then actually operate their own satellite once it's in space adds an incredibly important element to their education not available at most universities," said David Klumpar, director of MSU's Space Science and Engineering Laboratory.
FIREBIRD 3 and 4 – the name of the tiny cube satellites called CubeSats -- rode on a Delta II rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. They were originally supposed to be launched on Jan. 29, but NASA scrubbed the launch because of upper altitude winds. The launch was then set for Jan. 30, but it was delayed again to make minor repairs to the launch vehicle. The launch finally occurred on Jan. 31 after conditions were predicted to be 100 percent perfect.
Shortly after 8:30 a.m. Mountain time -- after the launch and when the satellites were deployed -- a segment on MSU's satellite program began airing on NASA EDGE, a program that gives an "offbeat, funny and informative look behind the NASA curtain." MSU's segment lasted more than 30 minutes and included a live interview with MSU student Matthew Handley. It also included pre-produced videos with Klumpar, research engineer Keith Mashburn and four MSU students. NASA EDGE co-host Blair Allen performed an ongoing bit where he wore MSU gear and supposedly grabbed MSU's satellites from Cobleigh Hall and ran with them to California. Accompanied by songs like "On the Road Again," the journey took him past cows, through trees and down roads until he reached Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Viewers watch NASA TV on every floor of NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C., and every NASA facility in the United States, said Klumpar, who returned to MSU in the fall after working two years at NASA headquarters. Allen said NASA EDGE can be seen on NASA TV or accessed on iTunes, YouTube and the NASA website at http://www.nasa.gov/nasaedge.
Three MSU-built satellites are currently orbiting the Earth. The Hiscock Radiation Belt Explorer (HRBE) was launched Oct. 28, 2011. FIREBIRD 1 and 2 – the precursors of the new satellites -- were launched Dec. 6, 2013. FIREBIRD refers to "Focused Investigations of Relativistic Electron Burst Intensity, Range, and Dynamics."
Because of that work, Allen said MSU's satellite development program has been on NASA EDGE's radar for a while. To feature MSU on the program, Allen and two other NASA EDGE crew members came to MSU in September to film the CubeSats before they headed to California to be loaded onto the rocket. The crew filmed inside the Space Science and Engineering Laboratory in Cobleigh Hall. They interviewed Klumpar, Mashburn and four students or recent graduates who were involved in building and operating the satellites. The students were Handley, Jerry Johnson, Adam Gunderson and Nathan Fite.
Fite is a recent MSU graduate with a master's degree in engineering management. A native of Wheelersburg, Ohio, he has worked on CubeSats for at least six years and continued to work on them as a graduate research assistant in the Space Science and Engineering Laboratory until November when he left MSU for an aerospace position in southern California.
Gunderson, a Kalispell native, told NASA EDGE that he started working on CubeSats as an undergraduate in electrical engineering and eventually became responsible for their power systems. He recently earned his master's degree in electrical engineering. Four days after the NASA EDGE interview, he left Bozeman to start working for Northrop Grumman Corp., an aerospace and defense technology company.
Being able to say that he had been involved with four satellite missions from cradle to the grave made him a much better job candidate than if he hadn't had the experience, Gunderson said.
MSU is the third university to have its satellite program featured on NASA EDGE, Blair said. One past show focused on California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), but it included an appearance by Ehson Mosleh, an MSU graduate and current employee of MSU's Space Science and Engineering Laboratory. Another show featured Medgar Evers College of The City University of New York (CUNY).
FIREBIRD 3 and 4 are the fifth and sixth MSU satellites to be launched through NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) program. Their most important job is gathering more information about the loss of electrons from the Van Allen Radiation Belts, Klumpar said. Radiation in space affects Earth in a variety of ways, including interference with communication systems and power grids.
Klumpar said electrons become trapped in the Earth's magnetic field, but the trap is leaky, causing electrons to be lost into the upper atmosphere from the Van Allen Radiation Belts. To better understand the process and impacts, MSU and the University of New Hampshire designed satellites that will gather information in tandem. The satellites are slightly taller than HRBE, which is a cube about four inches on each side. The FIREBIRD satellites conform to a nanosatellite size standard, known as the CubeSat standard, which allows them to ride together in a container called a PPOD.
FIREBIRD was funded by the National Science Foundation under the NSF's CubeSat-based Science Missions for Geospace and Atmospheric Research program. The University of New Hampshire, where Klumpar earned his Ph.D., built the instruments that will take scientific measurements. MSU students designed and built the satellite buses that hold those instruments. They also integrated the instruments into the satellites and tested them to prepare them for launch.
The main job of the rocket carrying FIREBIRD 3 and 4 is to launch a NASA mission, called Soil Moisture Active Passive. SMAP will measure and map the moisture and freeze/thaw state of soil to better understand water, carbon and energy cycles on the Earth.
