Long Weekend Projects - The Big Issue and Skills Universe

By sylviahammond, 1 May, 2015

A happy Workers Day to everyone,

Two projects worth pursuing this weekend:

1.   Buy a copy of the new Big Issue - The sellers are working to make a living for themselves, they are not begging or asking for handouts.  Help people trying to help themselves and reduce poverty.  For R20 it's full of really interesting articles:

  • are vaccinations and innoculations safe?,
  • penis transplants - did you know SA apparently did the first successful one at Tygerberg?,
  • wonderful images of Cape Town - then and now, and
  • Mangosuthu Buthelezi really hasn't changed much from his youthful appearance, and

2.   Check out the changes to the skills-universe categories.  Following some discussions about opinion and referencing comments, there are now two re-named area:

  • "Opinion and discussion" for exactly that - of course you can still use the relevant Groups for discussion, and
  • "Knowledge Area" for academic discussion, uploading papers for comment, book reviews, and downloads of state legal and policy documents.
