The web-based system provides an integrated, electronic process for faster CO application and certification. It also allows the immediate transmission of certified COs to designated third party recipients in a secure electronic environment.
CertOfOrigin liberates the exporters from the manual tasks of submitting numerous supporting documents for their CO application, and physically dispatching the certified CO to the relevant parties after collecting it from the Authorised Organisation.
Exporters can now print COs conveniently from their desktop. They can also forward the document to a designated third party electronically via CertOfOrigin.
The entire application process is thus reduced from weeks to minutes, resulting in significant time and cost savings for the exporters.
Banks, overseas buyers, customs and other third parties can now conveniently access and download CO, as well as verify the authenticity of the CO, via the Internet through CertOfOrigin. They are also able to electronically connect to the exporters for seamless business collaboration.
CertOfOrigin allows integration with the authorised organisation's workflow to enable automated data validation for faster processing and certification of COs. The online process results in reduced paperwork and better efficiency for the authorised organisation.

NBC opens private banking facility centre for affluent customers
Affluent people in the society will now be subjected to special banking services, thanks to the introduction of Private Banking suite Facility by the National Bank of Commerce ( NBC). The suite will enable NBC affluent customers to access a range of products and services designed to meet their individual requirements and benefit from easier access to credit facilities offered by the bank. Under this service customers will be required to have a minimum of Sh75 million in the bank account. The NBC has opened a special centre in Dar es Salaam yesterday for that purpose. Gracing the occasion for the introduction of a newly bank service, the IPP Executive Chairman Dr Reginald Mengi said the move will help cater for the country's growing economy. However, he thanked the bank for the step it has taken as this shows that, the bank has reached at the top higher level of performance in the country bearing the fact that, being a financial institution it plays a key role in facilitating country's economy. He said as the number of people who require financial services in the country keeps on increasing everyday and this is made evident by the increasing number of registered banks in the country, it's therefore prudent for banks also to think of ways to expound their services to cater for their regular needs. At this remark, Dr.Mengi praised the MD and her entire management team for the ability which has made the NBC to come at this surprise that it has enabled it to launch such a vital service at the opportune time when the country's economy is growing at such an exceptional rate. Commenting on the launch of the bank's Private Banking Suite. Mengi said, "The need for tailor made services is very important and added that, this is underscored by the fact that organizations which succeed are usually those which adopt to the constantly changing market dynamics by providing solutions for their customers".
Speaking on behalf of the bank, NBC's Managing Director Ms. Mizinga Melu said, "since NBC has been in operation for the last 46 years the bank has been receiving new customers and hence there is a need to cope with the emerging global technological change. In view of this, therefore the bank has to look for specific requirements which have to be taken into consideration for the development of emerging technologies to suite new products and services. It is for this reason, however she added that, the bank has decided to introduce Private Banking Suite to cater for financial requirements to help achieve their ambitions and also create ways for convenience for customers by building an environment where they can realize their ambitions with ease. She said that, the centre is the first to be launched by the bank in the country, and noted that seven other centers would be replicated later in other cities and big towns in the country by end of 2014. Cornered for an exclusive interview, the Head of Bank's retail services Mmoloki Legodu said that, with this launch the bank aim to service the diverse financial needs of their customers including their families with exclusivity. However, he said and added that, customers will be able to enjoy the attention of a dedicated relationship manager and use of this State-of-the –art exclusive facility centre to meet all the banking needs, and moreover will not need to stand in queue. Describing the suitability of the service, the Bank's Marketing, Communications and Corporate Affairs Edwin Mhina said that, customers under this category of service would use their Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards free for every transaction. He further noted that customers will enjoy a reduction on costs for sending money through telegraphic transfer to settle payments of imported goods. These he said would be reduced to a certain percentage rate which he couldn't immediately indicate. NBC is one of the most highly recognized retail banks in the country with 46 years experience in providing financial services. Apart from offering traditional banking services, NBC also prides itself with an expanded branch network and footprint. It has 52 branches with over 1,200 staff, Visa and MasterCard enabled ATMs and over 250 points of sales strategically located throughout the country.

Lwaitama calls on government to accept people's views over new constitution
As three days have remained prior to the winding up of a nationwide discussion about the new draft of national constitution, former lecturer of the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) Dr. Azaveli Lwaitama has called on government to accept people's views as directed in relation to the three tire government structure. The issue which has become a subject of debate in all constitutional council meetings in the country has sparked fear and mixed perception among Tanzanians most of whom have noticed that, the union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar would come to an end if the idea would be finally approved in the constitution. Dr. Lwaitama made a remark early this week in Dar es Salaam at a constitutional council meeting which was organized by a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) known as Change Tanzania, a forum was held at a British Council hall. Describing about the issue, the don noted that, the three tire government structure would limit the President's power and there is no means whatsoever as this issue is entirely upon Tanzanians to decide while voting for their opinions. He said that, apart from the three government system, Tanzanians must know that there are a lot and more helpful matters to be discussed in the draft constitution which has come out with sixteen phases, in view of this, has urged Tanzanians to concentrate on other matters which will help build their economic and social life in future. The forum was attended by academicians, human rights activists, lawyers and ordinary people who gathered to discuss the way forward about the new constitution for which Dr. Lwaitama was among the three main speakers.
Others speakers were Deodatus Balile who is a member of Tanzania Editors' Forum (TEF) and the Managing Editor of a weekly investigative Kiswahili tabloid called Jamhuri, and Irenei Kiria who is the Managing Director of a civil society group known as SIKIKA. Dr. Lwaitama has urged Tanzanians not to spend more time to discuss much about the three tire government structure and instead they should concentrate on other basic issues which could bring revolutionary change of mindset. He said people must go further and scrutinize their mindset which would bring about some revolutionary changes for the development of the country in general. However, he also took time to warn Tanzanians not to make a criticism on whatever has been outlined in the new draft and instead should talk with evidences tendered so as to approve their arguments the impact on the three tire government structure. "People should also talk of good things put across by Judge Joseph Warioba's review commission team and should not criticize anything in the constitution without proper explanations" he said. He reminded the audience that the essence of demanding for a new constitution started way back in 1964 after the army mutiny, this was first amended in 1965 with the purpose of preparing the coming of the policy of Arusha Declaration which ushered the building of a socialist state. TEF's member Balile noted that, the draft constitution did not carry some of the most important views earlier recommended by the TEF members. He mentioned them as the formation of the journalists' council as the current one is not recognized by the constitution. He clarified a point that, in the draft is not stated directly that the rights of the people to be informed is not only through media organs, but people can also be informed through other means so longer as it is their rights to be informed.

Sitta dismisses claims leveled against Rwanda and Uganda
THE Minister for East African Cooperation Samwel Sitta has dismissed rumors which have spread within the East African Community (EAC) regional bloc that, Rwanda and Uganda member states are planning to boycott Dar es Salaam port with effect from September this year. Minister Sitta made clarification in Dar es Salaam last week in an on the spot interview when cornered by journalists who attended the swearing in ceremony of the newly appointed 8 Permanent Secretaries and 14 deputies of various ministries at State House grounds. He told journalists that, his office has not yet received official documentation as related with the withdrawal of the two EAC landlocked member countries from using Dar es Salaam port as earlier speculated, and that are planning to shift to Mombasa port for cargo handling of their goods. However, he declined to say anything further when questioned to tell the truth about the details of the current status of the two countries and their political tension as related with the recent UN report that revealed their relationships of the M23 rebel groups in Eastern DRC. On the trade link between Tanzania and the two countries, Minister Sitta said that, his Ministry has tried a bit enough to reduce the number of barriers from 43 to currently 15 along main roads linking the two countries in the country since 2011. However, Minister Sitta who is a Member of Parliament (MP) for Urambo constituency and former Tanzania's National Assembly speaker noted that, many barriers have been noticed to be disturbing traders while transporting their goods an aspect that results into high inflation. He has thanked the Minister for Transport Dr. Harrison Mwakyembe who has played a bigger role to ward off the menace which before that was contributing to a slow pace towards the achievement of the economic development of the EAC member countries. He noted that, in order to facilitate smooth operation of the trade movements within the region, his office has put in future plans to reduce the barriers and remain with only 3 by 2020. The occasion of swearing in newly appointed Permanent Secretaries was witnessed by almost all Ministers of the designated portfolios. Also in attendance were leaders of the opposition parties in the country, close relatives of the appointees including other invited government officials. The sworn secretaries have pledged to take charge of their new positions and work effortlessly in order to ensure the government's concept of achieving the big results now. Consolata Mgimba the new deputy permanent secretary of the ministry of Education and Vocational Training said that, as she is taking a new ministry, she is prepared to work in collaboration with close subordinates so as to ensure that, the education sector comes up with good reputation.

However, she has pledged to make sure that, she advices her boss in the office to ward off the on-going controversy over poor educational standards in the country. She has also pledged to work on the results to be issued by the recent commission formed by the Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda to investigative the real cause of this year's massive failure of the National form four students. Dorothy Mwanyika of the Finance Ministry has noted to work on the impending challenges that constraints the development of the entire ministry and promised to bring changes upon working closely with the stakeholders to ensure a success. On Tuesday this week, President Jakaya Kikwete announced a major reshuffle of permanent secretaries, promoting 10 deputies and dropping three others. The President also moved three permanent secretaries to new portfolios and tapped Prof Sifuni Mchome from the Tanzania Commission of Universities as the new Education Permanent Secretary in changes that saw the Permanent Secretary of the ministry of Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Patrick Rutabanzibwa stepping down voluntarily. President Kikwete also picked 14 new deputy PSs and shuffled five in a decision that saw the return of a suspended chief medical officer in the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Dr Deodatus Mtasiwa who now will head the ministry of Local Government Authority and Regional Administration. Those dropped were Sethi Kamuhanda from the Ministry of Information, Omar Chambo from Transport and Mrs Kijakazi Mtengwa from Community Development, Women and Children. Announcing the changes at a news conference on Tuesday evening at State House in Dar es Salaam, Chief Secretary Ombeni Sefue, said the three dropped PSs will be re-assigned to other duties but were not specified.

TWCN: Include high leadership roles for women in constitution
MEMBERS of a coalition group, the Tanzania Women Constitutional Networking (TWCN) have analyzed various shortcomings in relation to women's rights evident in the new constitutional draft. About 25 women groups with their representatives from various parts of the country gathered last week in Dar es Salaam in a two day seminar that aimed to deliberate various matters together with how the new constitution will help protect women's rights in the country. The group members also had time to register their views pertaining to basic rights of women, demanding epoch making changes in key elements, apparently skipped in the draft for a new constitution. The seminar organized by the Women Fund of Tanzania (WFT) in collaboration with the Tanzania Gender Networking Program (TGNP) came up with some recommendations for consideration in finalizing the process for enacting a new constitution. One such proposal is that women should hold one of the highest ranking government positions such as president, vice-president or prime minister, by placing it in the constitution that it is part of women's basic rights of leadership functions. Prof. Ruth Meena of the Dar es Salaam based Institute of Diplomacy, who represented WFT group, said in an interview that gender balance consideration is non-existent in the selection of high ranking government officials. This aspect of gender balance should be included in the new constitution so that it opens an avenue for women capable of holding top most positions to do so, similar to what is being done in other countries. Women's rights on breastfeeding after child birth are not highlighted in the constitutional draft as earlier recommended by most women groups, she said. As this is a most sensitive issue for child growth, the constitutional draft should make it clear that employees (women) who are breast feeding obtain a proper time frame to feed their babies, recommending that the time frame should be six months instead of three as it is now, the don underlined. There are no basic gender rights in national values, which should be introduced to value leadership ethics, she said, noting that this would lessen discrimination.
Professor Ruth Meena analyzing a point during her presentation.
According to her, women's rights should be made clear and with transparency embedded in the manner of implementation, such that the government's obligations of protecting women's rights are raised to a higher level. A regulatory tasked with following up on women's complaints or technical inquiries is needed, to make the legal implementation process adequate, the don specified. Usu Mallya, executive director for the Tanzania Gender Network Program (TGNP), said that concern about women agenda had been raised at all levels so that they are given rights as deserved. There are still some challenges that need to be addressed in this quest, she stated. Government needs to put in place legal and policy arrangements that will facilitate equal participation of women in top level leadership, she said, underlining that a democratic constitution must acknowledge substantive gender equality. It must include collective voices of both genders, "highlighting shared values and key principles," she further asserted. A Gender and Development Seminar Series (GDSS) bringing together people with disabilities, youths, entrepreneurs, small scale farmers and marginalized groups is being organized to chart the way forward in building a gender balanced society, the director noted. Susan Lyimo, the deputy chairperson of the Tanzania Women Parliamentary Group (TWPG) affirmed the vital inputs of women in attaining a democratic constitution accepted by all. Women MPs were delighted with the draft as most issues they proposed had been taken up but a few issues relating to essential expectations of women constitutionally, she said. It is vital to have a constitution which caters for the needs of all and throughout recognizes the positive contribution of women in society, she said, informing seminar participants that the deliberations and views would be tabled in the forthcoming session of the National Assembly.

Substandard products dominates local market despite ban
THE government's efforts over the control of the illegal supply of imported counterfeit products from entering in the country might have hit a snag as the local market is still dominated by substandard products, the survey can establish. The survey carried out at Kariakoo main trading hub of the central wholesale and retail market complex for all things in downtown Dar es Salaam has found out that, imported goods mostly electrical and electronic communication products of the same brand are sold at a different price rates irrespective of their country of origin. Buyers are openly informed and sometimes briefed of the nature of a product they intend to buy by shopkeepers in order to make them be assured of the manufacturing company and their countries of origin. Some interviewed shop attendants said in interview that, most of genuine products comes from European nations as they have longer durability, with the poorest and low quality products coming from far East countries mostly China, a factor that drives a substantial number of buyers become perplexed and rather confused. The survey has noted that, it is a normal thing to see that an electrical product of the same brand, size and shape such as Circuit breakers, Earth rod and a Main switch which are used largely for wiring purposes in residential houses are sold at different price rates.The same thing applies in most retail shops selling imported cell phone batteries displayed in frames made of glasses. The extensive bulk of these products put on display have different price rates depending on their durability. This is confusing in regard to the normal saying among the people who attributes the fact that, a product which is sold in lower price rate is low in terms of quality, compared to those sold at a higher price rate which buyers assumes to be of good quality. The perception confuses the minds of many buyers and users of such products who together with their inferiority complex towards the general understanding of the concept, scores of them ends up buying counterfeit products without their knowledge. Johnson Msigala (36), a resident of Mwananyamala who was cornered by this writer strolling around in a shopping spree noted that, there is a possibility of cheating on these products most of which are imported and are on high supply by some shop owners. A spot check reveals that, a genuine earth rod assumed to have longer lifespan is sold at Sh. 45,000 while others with shorter span can be fetched at between Sh. 3,500, Sh. 8,000 and Sh. 15,000 respectively depending on their sizes and their country of origin. Shopkeepers have revealed that, earth rods have different sizes and quality in such that the highest paying product has a copper lining while the fake ones do not have copper and are purely made of iron. An electrical circuit breaker which is among important electrical equipment is sold in two different prices, the one for China made is fetched at Sh. 18,000, whereas another one supposed to have been imported from UK is fetched at between Sh. 80,000 and Sh. 100,000 respectively. The main switch with four way gang is also sold at different price rates although there are only two types available in the market. These are main switch for MCL Co. Ltd based in Dar es Salaam which can be fetched at Sh. 45,000, A similar type of the main switch being supplied by a Dar based TAN-UK firm is fetched at Sh. 18,000. Both of these two types of main switches are imported from China, but the two companies are the main suppliers say one shopkeeper Ismail Khan, a Tanzanian of Asian origin. However, he said in an exclusive interview that, a product which sells at a lower price rate definitely has shorter lifespan than those sold higher. James Peter a resident of Buguruni queried and wondered if shopkeepers confess themselves to be selling products with low quality design standards, what then is the government doing to save consumers in the country? Commenting on the effects of such equipment a long experienced electrical technician working as an agent for TANESCO, a sole power utility firm in the country said that, electrical goods with the lowest price rates do not last longer if used for wiring. Jeremiah Mukoyi (35) revealed that, by using such equipment it will require regular replacements in a periodical check up as most of these equipment are not sustainable enough in terms of use for they are prone to leakage and thus causing frequent lose connections in the whole wiring systems. The government through its organ the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) has since early this year put down various major strategic measures as precautions in order to curb with the increased phenomenon that caused fear to buyers of such goods in the country. Consumers of such products have ever since threw a blame to TBS for what it had shown as a total failure of accountability which has ultimately resulted into giving rise to mushrooming of counterfeit products in the country. However, TBS Spokesperson Roida Andusamile was recently quoted by the media as saying that, despite of much efforts spearheaded by TBS, less has been achieved to fully curb the phenomenon by 100 percent rate simply due to the presence of numerous ways used by unscrupulous traders as porous borders better known as "panya routes" within our country's national frontiers. According to the Executive Director of Tanzania Consumer Society (TCS) Bernard Kihiyo, counterfeit products will stop flowing in the country if there would be a joint collaboration of the stakeholders among the five East African countries. Kihiyo is on the view of the fact that, there should be a mechanism that needs to be established which would be able to destroy syndicate behind the importation, distribution and sale of sub-standards goods.

Dar airport beefs up safety equipment
Tanzania will soon install a $Sh3.4 billion surveillance and communication equipment to boost the country's airspace monitoring system in the Eastern regions. Currently, the Tanzanian airspace is mainly monitored by the multi-billion shilling radar purchased controversially from the British Aerospace Engineering (BAE) Systems. The new surveillance and communication equipment would boost the current radar system, which also suffered technical problems recently. Ms Bestina Magutu, a Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority ( TCCIA) Information Officer, said in Dar es Salaam on Friday last week that the two equipment to be installed at the Mwalimu Julius Nyerere International airport would cost a whopping Sh 3.3 billion to be disbursed during the 2013/14 financial year. She said the surveillance equipment known as Automated Data Surveillance (ADS-B) would cost Euro 959,490 (Sh 2.0 bn/-) and that of collecting and sending aviation reports known as Aeronautical Message Handling System ( AMHS) would cost Euro 621, 345.2 (Sh1.2bn/-), both of which would be procured from Germany. She said the move was aimed at revamping the country's aviation communication and safety, and that a German firm known as Comsoft had since been awarded a tender which will also install satellite machines. She further noted that implementation of this project was would commence early next year. Describing the suitability of the two devices, a TCAA technician, Engineer Valentina Kayombo said that installation of these two machines would give air traffic controllers a quick and overall control of the eastern horizon of the country, including the Indian Ocean. She said this was just the beginning of a larger project which would soon cover the country's northern, western, and southern horizons -- depending on the availability of funds in forthcoming budget allocations. Engineer Kayombo noted that TCAA was determined to catch up global technological changes within the civil aviation industry, to effectively maintain the highest standards of air traffic control. She noted that Tanzania becomes among the first African countries to have used the newly introduced technology once installed. Asked if these were new radar equipment, she said although were similar in function, these would help the current radar to receive more aviation information because they have greater capacity to grasp information from afar. She made these clarifications in relation to the controversial radar system -- the biggest in the country -- which was bought from the UK-based BAE Systems company. Kayombo said the two devices were bought specifically to help boost the capacity of the current radar system, whose lifespan would soon come to an end. Meanwhile, the government through Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) will provide sponsorship for the training of pilots during the 2013/14 financial year. TCAA Information Officer Bestina Magutu told a news conference that the government would ensure it gets enough and well trained indigenous pilots. She said the pilots' training programme would be sponsored by a special training fund -- earlier established by the TCAA in 2007 -- known as 'Civil Aviation Contribution and Administration of Training Fund'. Various civil aviation stakeholders have since donated some $200,000 (equivalent to Sh. 320 m/-) to run the fund, she said, adding that more donations were expected. She said five Tanzanians had been selected for sponsorship during this financial year to undergo a 14-mpnth training session in South Africa – out of 272 candidates who had applied for sponsorship. TCAA is a semi-autonomous public institution responsible for overseeing the country's aviation industry. The authority was established in 2000 as a corporate body and is governed by seven board members. The authority is charged with ensuring safety, security and regularity of civil aviation in Tanzania by providing effective oversight and efficient air navigation services while maintaining quality, protecting the environment and safeguarding the interest of consumers and the public.

While other systems only ever offer the last state-of-the-art technology, in other words technology that is already old, the future is built into the design principle of the M51. After all, the M51 is designed to grow as your requirements grow. New functionalities can be continuously integrated through new modules, very simply, through plug-&-play. Tomorrow or several years down the road. And always reflecting the current state-of-the-art technology.
The basic device
Your requirements and aspirations are as individual as you. And this is why the Re:system M51 adapts itself to your personal lifestyle. Its consistently modular construction enables you to create your individual Revox World ranging from a standalone audio/video centre right up to a comprehensive Multiroom solution for the whole house.
In the basic version, the M51 has a 5-channel output, a high-quality DVD drive as well as the basic requirements for the modular expansion of the system. In total, the M51 has 7 slots where Re:source modules can be inserted.
Two slots are reserved for the DVD module and the decoder module needed for decoding the different audio signals. Using the other five slots, the M51 can be perfectly customised to meet the requirements of the user.
The Re:source decoder module decodes the different audio formats for the Re:system M51, so that both stereo and surround formats can be played through the M51. One particular feature is the X-stereo function that enables the use of four speakers, even with pure stereo operation, which is the case well over 90% of the time. The module gives music lovers the option of pure analogue listening. In this case, the digital signal processor is switched off and the music can be experienced in its purest form, just as the sound engineer mixed it.
The best of both worlds
You will find that the fundamental idea of modularity has been consistently followed in two different M51 output concepts. One selection is to equip your system with an analogue 5 x 60 watt output, which is sure to delight every music-loving audiophile. For particularly large rooms, Revox offers one of the best digital outputs in the industry: The powerful 5 x 200 watt PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output delivers a uniquely warm and pleasing sound.
The logical layout of the operating elements, together with the functional and clearly structured display, guarantee the uncomplicated handling of all functions of the Re:system M51 source management. If required, this user interface can be transferred to external control systems so that, independent of the system, a uniform, intuitive user interface controls the complete Revox system.
One of the most popular user interfaces is the App for the Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. With these you can control all functions of the M51 from the comfort of your sofa and get an immediate feedback about the system status.
You will find more details about the control options in the category 'Control', particularly under Re:control M208, Wall-mounted control and Revox Apps.
A foundation for sustainable development
The modules for DVD, decoder and amplifier are already included. Further functions such as tuner, input/output, audio or video server, Multiroom and the Multiroom Side room module can be simply integrated on a plug-&-play principle. Therefore, it is not only possible to combine all functions as you want, but they can be retrofitted at any time in the future.
With the Multiuser submodule you can even integrate your M100 into the Revox Multiuser System. The advantages about the integration at a glance.
The aesthetics of perfect functionality
The Re:system M51 source management combines innovative functionality with aesthetic perfection. High-quality materials and extensive processing support the clear and functional contours. The housing is made of solid aluminium with a brushed-finish surface. Great attention was paid to the details. For example, the solid turning knob is positioned in a brass bearing, guaranteeing perfect rotary movement. The particularly large and clear display is characterised by functional aesthetics.
Intelligent today. Ingenious tomorrow.
Always on station
The Re:source tuner module is designed to receive FM radio stations and is characterised by its excellent reception properties. Up to 50 stations can be stored in memory in any order using their RDS identifier or an individually assigned name. By deploying up to four tuner modules in the Re:system M51 or M10, up to four different radio stations can be listened to simultaneously within a Revox Multiroom system.
Open for everything
The Re:source in/output module offers four analogue audio inputs and one audio output. This enables external devices to be integrated tonally in the Revox system. If required, input 1 can simply and quickly be converted to allow a record player to be connected. All the inputs on this module can be given the name of the currently assigned source, e.g. Play Station or MP3 Player in the menu. Each input can be individually levelled out so that the volume level stays the same when switching between sources and doesn't have to be adjusted.
Radio and further sources
Alternatively, the two modules mentioned above are available combined in one - the FM tuner / IO module. Merely input 1 of the IO module is omitted as the FM tuner is applied at this point. With this module one slot of the M51 can be saved, provided that no record player ought to be applied, and either FM radio and analogue inputs and one analogue output can be used.
Picture and sound
The Re:source dvd module is the audio and video interface for the DVD drive that is integrated in the M51. High-quality video drivers take care of an excellent picture, which consistently receives critical acclaim as being one of the best on the market. At the same time, the module offers the analogue audio input for the sound signal from a TV device. As a true all-rounder, the DVD module can read CDs and DVDs including different ROM formats as well as MP3, JPEG and DIVX formats. The DVD module is available with SCART or Cinch connectors for connection to the picture reproduction device.
See better
As an optional add-on to the DVD module, the Re:source dvs module scales up the standard video signal to high-resolution formats, as high as 1080p. This enables the currently highest possible Full HD resolution. Because of the high level of integration in the controller, all signals are transmitted exclusively digitally and with extremely short signal paths. This gives Revox an advantage over external scalers that can't offer this feature.
Complete freedom of movement
The Re:source Multiroom module makes the Re:system M51 or M10 into the controller of a Revox Multiroom system. Using the module, all analogue sources connected to the system can be distributed over four different listening zones. Within each listening zone, the programme can be transmitted into up to four rooms. Then for each room, up to four timer events can be set up. In this way, you can set a wake-up call in any room at any time or you can pre-program your entertainment with the desired programme, at the required time.
Surround yourself with sound
The Re:source multiroom slave module is used where multi-channel audio reproduction is needed for more rooms. In this case, the M51 with Multiroom Slave Module operates as a multi-channel side room amplifier with integrated DVD player. It is connected to the Multiroom Module in the central Re:system controller and imports the signals from there. Furthermore, the M51 with Multiroom Slave Module enables true Home Cinema surround sound, even in the side room, through the integrated DVD player or a local SAT receiver.
Everything under control
The Re:source server module communicates with products that for reasons of space, cannot be integrated into the Re:system M51, M100 or M10. This includes the M37 audio server from Revox. The content of the audio server is shown through an interface on the M51 display or on external Revox displays and can be selected simply and easily. Additionally, the module offers four analogue audio inputs so that up to four different audio signals can be reproduced at the same time, depending on the configuration.
Request programmes, 24/7
The Re:source Kaleidescape TM module integrates the Kaleidescape TM video server in the Revox system. The server audio content can be shown on the displays and called up very simply. The films stored on the server can be selected through an intuitive OSD on the television. The perfect, simple to operate Home Cinema experience is a result of the system's seamless task distribution. The image data is distributed through the Kaleidescape TM World. Revox handles the processing and the complete control of the audio signals.
Gateway to the multimedia world
With the Re:source multimedia module, we have opened up completely now horizons for the Revox system. The module enables the seamless integration of Internet radio, iPod, USB sticks and network hard discs into the Multiroom System. In this way, content from these sources can also be selected easily through the Revox displays and the Revox Apps.

What is BuDS?
BuDS is a statewide initiative that focuses on early identification of children from birth to five years old who may develop social, emotional or behavioral challenges.
We have 3 fundamental goals:
- The implementation of a strategic plan to build a comprehensive statewide System of Care (SOC) for children birth to five and their families.
- Annual workforce development training for providers and clinicians from all over the state, so that we can develop an increased expertise and capacity in the state.
- Building strong relationships with existing organizations and groups that work on early childhood issues in the state.
Most importantly to families, parents and children, we provide prevention, intervention and ongoing support in the home, school and community.
Why do we say "beginnings determine success"?
Research over the last 10 years has shown overwhelmingly that early childhood education and intervention has substantial benefits for young children and over the course of their lives this will result in better health and educational success. For children who may have social, emotional or behavioral challenges early in their lives, screenings and if necessary intervention are critical to the future of the child and their ultimate success in life.

Saints, Oxwick
Step in the heroes of Norfolk County Council, who have made it their business to save and consolidate 20 or so of the most significant of Norfolk's 100-plus ruined churches. In 1993, the ruin was completely cleared of overgrowth, and the walls topped off to prevent further decay. The graveyard was also cleared, and several of the graves showed signs of being recently maintained.
Oxwick had obviously lost its tower some time in the 18th or early 19th century, and the base of the tower had been converted into a shack-like vestry. This looks most odd now that it is roofless. Also odd is the arrangement of windows in the west wall of the nave. There are two high up that must once have flanked the tower which are mysterious. John Salmon wonders if they might have given access to some kind of gallery.

Time savers – Presents and One Stop Shopping
If you are short of time for whatever reason, my time saver for presents – bottles of wine, red, white, rose and sparkling which is also my favourite, wrapped up in a wine bag, a bottle box or some pretty paper is always a popular gift (at least with my friends) and if you need a bottle of wine to drink at home you always have one on hand, and it's easily replaced. Double up and put into a double bottle basket carrier for a more generous gift. The great thing about wine is that it does not go off, it is disposable, and the bottles can be recycled so no worries buying some knick-knack that they may hate. Try a bottle of brandy or single malt which is nice for a special gift, this would delight my husbands . If you have teetotal friends a delicious tin of European chocolate biscuits (cookies) or some nice chocolates is a great gift and you can pick these up at your grocery store.

Three Tips To Know Your Septic System And Prevent Serious Problems
If you rely on a septic system for waste treatment, repairs to your system can be costly. Regular maintenance is important to ensure you do not have problems, but there are also other things that you can do to protect your home, such as map out the components of your system, inspecting for problems and landscaping that is friendly to your septic system. Here are some tips to help you know your septic system and avoid costly repairs:
1. Mapping All The Components Of Your Septic System
It is a good idea to know where your septic system is to avoid problems. You should know where the tank is and the location of the drain field. You may want to mark the area of the tank lids to make maintenance easier. You can also have risers installed to be able to easily access the tank. When you have maintenance done, you can also draw a map of the septic system and drainage for future reference, in case there is ever a problem with your septic system.
2. Avoid Overuse Of Water With Your Septic System
Overuse of water with your septic system can cause problems. The water can quickly fill the tank and cause overburden and solids to get into plumbing lines or the drain field. To prevent these problems, limit the use of appliances that use a lot of water, such as washing machines. You may also want to consider solutions like grey water irrigation, which can keep the water from appliance out of your septic tank and reduce problems with excessive water usage.
3. Planning Your Landscaping With Your Septic System In Mind
You may also want to plan your landscaping with your septic system in mind. Keep trees and plants with deep roots away from the tank and drain field. In addition, it is also important to avoid heavy loads over your septic system. This can include things like decks, patios and above ground pools that can cause damage to your septic system. Also, avoid driving over your septic system, which can cause lines to collapse and need to be replaced. You can create a landscaping design that will help to prevent these problems, such as adding a retaining wall or barrier to mark the area of the septic system.
These are some tips to help you know your septic system and avoid costly problems. If you need help with maintenance and planning of your septic system, contact a septic service company like AAA Cesspool & Rooter Service.

Wrapping up a three-day meeting in Copenhagen's Bella Center, the Congress embraced digital technology and the Youth Olympic Games as powerful tools for sharing Olympic values with the world's young people. The 66 recommendations included proposals to get young people engaged in sport; to better protect athletes - medically, psychologically and after their sporting careers; to take full advantage of new digital technology; and to use the new Youth Olympic Games as a model for youth competition worldwide.
"The XIII Olympic Congress will be remembered as the Congress of Youth and Athletes. It has delivered clear guidance that serving young people and athletes should be our top priority," IOC President Jacques Rogge said. "We will find new ways to share Olympic values with the world's young people and get them involved in sport. We will redouble our efforts to protect the health and safety of athletes, and help them prepare for life after sport."
Recommendations related to athletes included:
- "Protecting the physical and psychological health of all athletes must be a major priority for the entire Olympic Movement." (Recommendation 4)
- "Congress recommends the establishment of an IOC Commission in charge of matters relating to coaches, trainers and the athlete entourage." (Recommendation 13)
- "All involved in the Olympic Movement should develop and implement a standard code of conduct and certification system in order to protect the rights of athletes towards agents, managers and sponsors." (Recommendation 6)
- "The Olympic Movement reaffirms its strong opposition to the trading of nationalities and passports, which abuses the spirit of competition inherent in the world of sport." (Recommendation 14)
- "Athletes from across the globe and from all sports should have access to an appropriate level of basic legal advice and guidance throughout their sporting careers." (Recommendation 10)
- "The Olympic Movement should at all times seek to promote equal opportunities for women, both in their participation in sports competition and in administration and coaching." (Recommendation 18)
Recommendations related to youth and digital technology included:
- "To pursue the interests and aspirations of young people it is proposed the IOC design a comprehensive strategy to promote and respond to the needs and challenges faced by young people…It is recommended that the IOC consider establishing the most appropriate forms of institutionalized and interactive dialogue." (Recommendation 50)
- "All constituents of the Olympic Movement should call on all governments to renovate, upgrade and construct more sporting facilities and allocate more time for the practice of sport in all schools, at all ages and at all levels." (Recommendation 56)
- "Everyone involved in the Olympic Movement must become more aware of the fundamental importance of physical activity and sport for a health lifestyle…and must reach out to parents and schools as part of a strategy to counter the rising inactivity of young people." (Recommendation 51)
- "At the national level, sports clubs and local schools should cooperate more closely, by, for example, developing more sporting events and competitions for young people at all levels."(Recommendation 57)
- "The Youth Olympic Games are a unique opportunity in the history of the modern Olympic Movement to raise the bar worldwide in terms of the delivery of educational and sports programmes for all young people, and to determine future action by the IOC and the Olympic Movement with regard to youth educational and sports programmes." (Recommendation 53)
- "The Olympic Movement should use the opportunity of the Youth Olympic Games to disseminate information to International Federations and all other stakeholders on educational and cultural programmes and initiatives aimed at inspiring the world's youth." (Recommendation 55)
- "The establishment of a Digital Taskforce including the IOC and other stakeholders is recommended; with a mandate to optimise the development and exploitation of digital technology." (Recommendation 64)
- "The Olympic Movement should strengthen its partnership with the computer game industry in order to explore opportunities to encourage physical activity, and the practice and understanding of sport among the diverse population of computer game users." (Recommendation 66)
The recommendations cover each of the five themes that Congress delegates discussed under the overarching theme of "The Olympic Movement in Society." The five topics were "The Athletes," "The Olympic Games," "The Structure of the Olympic Movement," "Olympism and Youth," and "The Digital Revolution."
The recommendations were drawn from hundreds of ideas and suggestions offered over the past two years by Olympic Family members, academics, medical specialists, coaches, referees, athletes, journalists, representatives from non-governmental organisations and members of the general public. More than 1,700 contributions were delivered via the "Virtual Olympic Congress," an online forum.
Congress delegates refined the proposals and offered their own perspectives over the course of their three-day meeting in Copenhagen.
Rogge will appoint working groups to review the proposals before forwarding them to the appropriate decision-making bodies within the Olympic Movement.

Important Security Announcement
We don't update this blog often, but from time to time something significant happens that we feel the need to update you on.
Earlier this week we experienced something very unfortunate. Our office was broken into by opportunistic thieves. Valuables including laptops, printers and even a kettle – yes, a kettle! – were stolen.
When we got to the office the next day, it was like a dream seeing everything scattered and disorganized, with doors hanging off hinges and files and paperwork scattered everywhere.
I'm not ashamed to admit, there were a few tears shed.
We immediately contacted the Police. It took them nearly ten hours before an officer was sent, and a further three hours before a DNA analysis team came to take fingerprints around the office.
Now, as frightening an experience as this was, we want to reassure you that no personal details or data of clients, children or teachers was taken during this burglary. The stolen laptops contain no confidential information and our company policy has been to safely host data on third party encrypted sites.
There's a lot of talk in the news at the moment about the new GDPR legislation, created precisely to protect data getting into the wrong hands. Fortunately for us, we've been taking safeguards like this for many years now, and we'd like to assure you that all your data is safe.
Naturally we've been forced to reassess our office security, and we have subsequently installed an office alarm and contracted a London roller shutter repair company to install metal roller shutters on our front and back entrances.
Whilst the events of this week have obviously knocked the wind out of our sales, we will be back to work as of Monday 28th May 2018.
We apologize for any delay and inconvenience this may have caused.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to resuming business as usual next week.

Reelz B2B Marketing Program
The Challenge
REELZ is an independent television network whose programming revolves around the real lives of celebrities. For the 2018/19 upfront season, DX was tasked with the conception and development of an interactive presentation that sales executives could bring to media agencies around the US.
The Solution
DX designed and developed a Family Feud-style video game called REELZ Media Feud that could be presented to media agencies both large and small. The game was developed with 3D graphics using the Unity game engine to create a spectacular audio-visual experience that can be controlled in real time by a game administrator. The game included a fully customizable game board, a back-end content management system, commercial break capabilities, and sound effects that mimic the original game show.
DX Services
- B2B Marketing Strategy
- Copywriting
- Creative Concepting
- Game Development
- Video Treatment
REELZ Media FeudThe live game board displays answers and points as teams attempt to guess the correct answers. Five normal rounds plus two lightning rounds were built in to enable REELZ sales executives to host the game in the same way it's played on TV.
Custom Admin Panel
A backend dashboard allowed REELZ sales executives to control the live game board from a separate device in real time.
Video Storytelling
DX was also tasked with creative concepting and scripting for faux commercial breaks that would be shown in between each round. The videos helped further drive home the benefits of choosing REELZ in your media buy.
