Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
South African Airways has added two more travel options to our African route network as part of the airline's growth plans on the continent.
Effective 17 January 2012, SAA will commence operations from Johannesburg to Kigali (Rwanda) and onwards to Bujumbura (Burundi). The return flights will operate from Bujumbura to Kigali and onwards to Johannesburg's OR Tambo International airport. These flights are now available for reservations in the Global Distribution System (GDS's) and via flysaa.com, the airline's online website.
SAA is focused on strengthening its intra-Africa network in line with its Africa Expansion programme. Adding even more destinations to our already extensive Africa route network gives our customers more travel options to thriving destinations that were previously difficult to reach by air.
In addition to being the capital city of Rwanda, Kigali is also its economic, cultural and tourist transit hub. Bujumbura is Burundi's capital and largest city and is close to the country's main port, shipping coffee as its primary export.
The route between Johannesburg to Kigali and onwards to Bujumbura will be serviced three times a week by a SAA's A319 aircraft which is able to accommodate 120 passengers in a two class (business and economy) configuration.
SAA's most recent addition to its African route network was the start of flights to Ndola, Zambia on 2 October. The Ndola service is largely aligned to growth in demand from mining executives, especially those flying into South Africa from countries such as Australia.
*All times are local. Please note that these slots may change.

In line with our strategy of expanding SAA's presence in Central Africa we will introduce a service to Pointe Noire in the Congo, effective 26 January 2012.
This welcome addition to the airline's ever-expanding route network on the continent offers our customers further access into Central Africa. SAA will operate to 21 cities on the continent with the commencement of this service.
Pointe Noire, the economic capital of the Congo, is SAA's fourth new destination on the continent this financial year (2011-2012), joining Ndola (Zambia), Kigali (Rwanda) and Bujumbura (Burundi) as the airline's most recent additions to its expansive route network in Africa.
Pointe Noire is also the second-largest city in the Congo, after the capital - Brazzaville, and the main commercial centre of the country. Pointe Noire is the centre of the oil industry in the Congo, which is one of the main oil-producers in Central Africa.
Our first flight to Pointe Noire departs from Johannesburg on Thursday 26 January 2012 to arrive at the Agostinho Neto Airport, one of the busiest international airports in the country, on the same day at 13h05.
Pointe Noire will be served twice a week, with a narrow body aircraft, the Airbus A319. These aircraft offer 120 seats - 95 Economy and 25 in Business Class.
*All times are local. Please note that these slots may change.
Back to top
We are pleased with the introduction of yet another route to our African schedule as part of our plans to focus growth in Africa. Effective 17 May 2012 we will extend our new route from Pointe Noire in the Congo - which was introduced from 26 January - to also include Cotonou in Benin.
Cotonou will be served twice a week with an A319 aircraft. The flights are already available for sale in our reservations system.
Cotonou will be the fifth new destination on the continent that the airline has introduced since October last year. Ndola (Zambia), Kigali (Rwanda), Bujumbura (Burundi) and Pointe Noire (Congo) were other recent additions to our expansive route network in Africa.
SAA also has flying rights between Point Noire and Cotonou and introducing Cotonou as an add-on flight on the newly-opened route between Johannesburg and Point Noire, allows us to also serve this market. The flights have been timed to ensure easy connections with the rest of our route network.
Cotonou is the economic capital of Benin and the country's largest city. In addition to being Benin's largest city, it houses several of its government and diplomatic services including the Beninese seat of government.
International relations have been strengthened between South Africa and Benin with the state visit by President Yayi of Benin by invitation of President Zuma in November 2011.
*All times are local at departure/ destination points.
Back to top
From 17 August 2012, SAA will introduce twice-weekly services to Abidjan in the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire). These flights will be added as an extension to our Accra (Ghana) flights on Tuesdays and Fridays. In addition, SAA also secured traffic rights between Accra and Abidjan which enables us to serve customers flying between these two cities in either direction.
Abidjan is the economic capital of the Ivory Coast. It is also the largest city in the nation and the third-largest French-speaking city in the world, after Paris and Kinshasa.
Considered a cultural hub of Francophone West Africa, Abidjan is characterised by a high level of industrialisation and urbanisation. This picturesque city stands in Ébrié Lagoon, where several converging peninsulas and islands are connected by bridges.
The city grew after the construction of a new wharf in 1931 and its designation as the capital of the then French colony in 1933. The completion of the Vridi Canal in 1951 enabled it to become an important sea port. In 1983, Yamoussoukro was designated as the nation's capital, but most government offices and foreign embassies are still in Abidjan.
Note: Days 1467 JNB-ACC-JNB remain unchanged
*All times are local at departure/ destination points.
As from 13 September 2012, SAA will introduce a twice-weekly service to Brazzaville in the Republic of Congo. This route will be served using an Airbus A319-200 aircraft and is scheduled to fit optimally with the arrival and departure of our international flights at OR Tambo International Airport thereby offering our passengers convenient connections through Johannesburg.
Brazzaville is the capital, and largest city, of the Republic of the Congo and is located on the Congo River. As of the 2001 census, it has a population of 1, 018, 541 in the city proper, and about 1, 5-million in total when including the suburbs located in the Pool Region.
The populous city of Kinshasa (more than 10-million inhabitants in 2009) and capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo; lies just across the Congo River from Brazzaville. Together with Kinshasa, the combined metropolitan area of Kinshasa-Brazzaville has nearly 12-million inhabitants.
Over a third of the population of the Republic of Congo lives in the capital, and it is home to 40% of non-agricultural employment. Brazza, as the capital city is affectionately called by residents and visitors alike, is the financial and administrative capital of the Republic of Congo.

SALT LAKE CITY A Utah businessman accused of running a fraudulent $350 million software scheme says the state attorney general arranged a deal to pay Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to make a federal investigation into the software business disappear.
St. George businessman Jeremy Johnson, whos accused of billing hundreds of thousands of consumers for products they never ordered, told The Salt Lake Tribune that newly elected Attorney General John Swallow set up a deal in 2010 for Johnson to pay $600,000 to people connected to Reid.
Johnson says be believed that Reid, a Nevada senator, might intervene in the Federal Trade Commissions investigation.
Swallow strongly denies the allegations and maintains he offered only to connect Johnson with a lobbying firm. At the time, he was serving as Utahs chief deputy attorney general.
The FBI and Reids office would not comment about the allegations.
Federal prosecutors initially charged Johnson, 37, with one count of mail fraud. He had been set to enter a guilty plea Friday.
But that deal fell apart after Johnson and prosecutors disagreed about the terms. Johnson instead decided to maintain his not guilty plea, and the case is set to go to trial.
If convicted, Johnson could face decades in prison. He is currently free on a $2.8 million bond.
On Saturday, the Tribune reported that Johnson provided emails, financial statements, photos, and a transcript of a recorded meeting with Swallow to the newspaper. Only one email from Johnson was available on the newspapers website.
After the Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against Johnson and nine business associates in December 2010, Johnson said he asked Swallow to return part of the $250,000 he had paid. Johnson said he doesnt know if anyone connected to Reid received it.

Area represented well at Tae Park World Class Championship Tournament
Tradition, discipline, and strength were celebrated in downtown Grand Rapids as students of Tae Park Taekwondo came together to honor their newest Grand Master and display their own individual skills as well.
The annual Tae Park Taekwondo World Class Championships Tournament was held on Nov. 10 at the Grand Rapids Community College Ford Field House. Approximately 500 students, including those from six other states came to Grand Rapids to compete.
This particular tournament was momentous because Grand Master Tae Zee Park promoted one of his students, Grand Master Rick Warren, to eighth degree black belt. This makes Warren the second Grand Master in Tae Park Taekwondo's 38-year history.
There were also several fourth, fifth, and seventh degree Master Instructors that received promotions.
Patricia Ramos, a fourth degree Master Instructor, said the importance of the promotion ceremony is to relay that getting a promotion into the higher ranks is not something to be taken lightly, and Taekwondo is not only about fighting and defending oneself, but according to Ramos, it is about having to display skills of leadership, integrity and having a moral character in one's personal life.
"It's a commitment to the organization, and to the art," Ramos said.
Ramos teaches Taekwondo in Lowell, Saranac, and Ionia, and she had 17 students competing in the tournament for both form and sparring.
"I was very proud of my students' abilities and of their willingness to compete in a tournament so large," Ramos said. "For most of them, this is the first time they've ever competed. They went from practicing in a safe, closed environment to walking into this huge event and competing against the unknown."
Ramos's students that competed in the event were; Jenny Anderson (silver in form and sparring), Ryan Antles (silver in form and one-step sparring), Jeff Batey (bronze in form and sparring), Megan Day (gold in form and sparring), Kevin Hadley (silver in form in sparring), Ben Irish (bronze in form), Jeff Irish (bronze in form and sparring), Darren James (silver in form and sparring), Kyle James (gold in form), Joe Kovacs (silver in form and bronze in one-step sparring), Aidan Lane (silver in form and gold in sparring), Devin Nash (bronze in form), Max Phillips (silver in form and bronze in one-step sparring), Zuriel Ragan (bronze in form and silver in sparring) Julia Smelt (silver in form and bronze in sparring) and Maddie Smith (silver in form and sparring).

Lincoln County voters overwhelmingly voted to renew the county's one-cent sales tax for another five years during Tuesday's elections, while a $5.6 million school bond issue in Stroud narrowly failed.
Lincoln County voters overwhelmingly voted to renew the county's one-cent sales tax for another five years during Tuesday's elections, while a $5.6 million school bond issue in Stroud narrowly failed.
The current penny tax in Lincoln County expires in December 2013, so the new five-year term for the tax begins Jan. 1, 2014.
Unofficial results show that 1,341 voted yes for the sales tax renewal, which is 81.5 percent, while 304 voted no, which is 18.5 percent.
The one-cent sales tax allocations for the 5-year term are similar to the current tax in place, with allocations of the each penny slated for the following:
• 60 percent to county road and bridge improvements
• 13 percent to the Lincoln County jail
• 6 percent to the Lincoln County Extension Center, capped at $120,000 yearly
• 6 percent to senior citizen nutrition sites
• 8.5 percent to Lincoln County Fire Departments
• 2 percent to the Lincoln County Free Fair
• 2.5 percent to economic development
• 2 percent to emergency management and Lincoln County Safety Office, capped at $25,000 yearly
Any funds collected over the yearly caps for the Lincoln County Extension Center and the Lincoln County Safety Office will be earmarked for a courthouse improvement fund.
A $5.6 million bond issue in Stroud was narrowly defeated after not getting the required 60 percent majority vote for the bond issue to pass, election board officials reported.
Unofficial results show 275 voters, or 59.1 percent, voted no, while 190 voters, or 40.9 percent, were in favor of the proposal.
Voters in Lincoln County also decided school board races as well.
For the Office No. 3 school board seat in Agra, Benny Austin tallied 64 votes, or 53.3 percent, to defeat Rhonda Carole Cox, who had 56 votes, or 46.7 percent.
For the Meeker Office No. 3 school board seat, Ashley Sellers tallied 194 votes, or 54.2 percent, to win the race against Becky Briggs, who had 164 votes, or 45.8 percent.

Usually interns work on projects that provide valuable hands-on experience and will have the chance to learn from more experienced professionals. At the culmination of the internship, you'll have enough experience to determine if you're prepared to launch your career in EU.
EU companies have a well structured internship programs that sets their interns up for success. Students have the opportunity to utilize the knowledge they have gained in the classroom and see how their studies translate into a professional setting. It's no surprise that an internship helps bridge the gap between being a successful student and an invaluable member of the team.

The solitary wolverine, last reported in Colorado in 1919, could be reintroduced as an experimental population under a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposal.
It wont be done quickly, Randy Hampton, statewide spokesman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said Friday. Theres a long way to go.
If the wolverine is listed as endangered, Colorado Parks and Wildlife would lead the reintroduction.
Hamptons agency three years ago shifted its own wolverine reintroduction discussions into neutral pending a lawsuit settlement that required Fish and Wildlife to decide by this year whether to protect the wolverine.
The decision came Friday when Fish and Wildlife proposed to list the species in the lower 48 as a threatened species and to designate the southern Rocky Mountains (Colorado, Wyoming and northern New Mexico) an experimental, nonessential population area.
Climate change, which is reducing some of the spring snowpack that provides protective habitat for young wolverines until they are weaned, was cited as the threat.
The wolverine, a member of the weasel family, resembles a bear cub. The animal is compact with short legs, fierce, weighs up to 55 pounds and has inordinate strength for its size. It is a carnivore but also eats carrion, eggs, roots and berries.
In the 1990s, the lynx and the wolverine were being considered under the Endangered Species Act, Hampton said. There was not enough money to study both, he said, but once the reintroduction of the lynx was deemed a success, attention turned to the wolverine.
Parks and Wildlife began reintroduction talks after a male wolverine outfitted with a GPS collar, designated as M56 from a wildlife project near Grand Teton National Park, arrived in Colorado in 2009.
The fugitive took up residency in Colorado and crossed Interstate 70 several times but remained largely north of the interstate, Hampton said. M56 apparently still is hanging around.
The suspended talks involved such stakeholders as the mining, timber and ski industries, agricultural interests, off-road recreation and environmental groups and private-land owners.
There were too many questions looming about the status of the wolverine under a Fish and Wildlife designation, Hampton said. Now well need to review the situation.
Listing the wolverine as endangered will require approval from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission and the state Legislature, Hampton said.
A statement by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Friday said 250 to 300 wolverines inhabit the lower 48 states, where trapping and poisoning led to near extinction in the early 1900s.
More than 90 percent of wolverine habitat in the 48 states is federal land.
Hunting and trapping the wolverine would be prohibited if the endangered status is given, the statement said. The listing would not affect current land uses.

Rumors circulating that Novell is going to kill off its popular Linux desktop lines are completely false. [However,] Novell is making one large strategic change. The GNOME interface is going to become the default interface on both the SLES and Novell Linux Desktop line. KDE libraries will be supplied on both, but the bulk of Novell's interface moving forward will be on GNOME. "The entire KDE graphical interface and product family will continue to be supported and delivered on OpenSuSE."

San Francisco Bay Area[edit]
Summary Information[edit]
- Operating Frequency: 144.390 MHz
- SSID Protocol: Most users follow the "new protocol"; refer to Symbols and SSIDs page.
- Local Coordination: Informal, mostly via California APRS Users Group (Yahoo group)
- Local Monitoring and Info: Northern California APRS Information
The San Francisco Bay Area is home to many radio amateurs and has an active APRS network. The San Francisco Bay Area terrain offers some of the best digipeater siting in the world. From almost anywhere in the central Bay Area you will have line-of-sight and clear reception to at least one high-level mountain-top digipeater. Exceptions to this are of course in areas such as the "urban canyon" of San Francisco, parts of the western side of the Coastal Range mountains from Santa Cruz north to Pescadero, the eastern side of the Diablo Range from Mt Hamilton north to Pleasanton, etc.
Due to the large number of APRS users, the 144.390 APRS frequency is almost constantly in use and efforts are always being made to reduce excessive or redundant packets. Use of "old paradigm" digipaths (RELAY and WIDE and TRACE and TRACEn-N) is strongly discouraged and most if not all San Francisco Bay Area digipeaters will no longer respond to these paths.
Solution: Digipeater Siting Strategy[edit]
The near-ideal geographic layout of the region implies there is usually no reason for an APRS user to set up and run low-level, supplemental, or fill-in digipeaters within the central Bay Area. Doing so will almost always generate redundant packets which increases collisions and channel traffic, reducing throughput. Exceptions to this may be in urban canyons, pocket valleys, or remote areas along the coast where it can be demonstrated that a mobile station's packets do not otherwise reach the network. A special event occurring in such remote "shaded areas" may benefit from a temporary "fill-in or event" digi (which only responds to packets addressed via WIDE1-1 or it's own callsign) sited overlooking the operating area for the event duration.
If you have reason to believe that a supplemental or fill-in digipeater is needed routinely, you could join the California APRS Users Group (hosted on Yahoo Groups) and post a proposal detailing where and why. The folks there will help you determine proper settings to ensure that your digipeater is beneficial to the local users.
Attentive Digipeater Sysops have determined that there are too many "S" Digis in California. Network overload occurs daily during peak hours. Much of the overload is increased by "low value" timed beacons from stations that beacon the same info 24/7 using multiple hop paths. Some Sysops have successfully reduced network traffic in their areas by reconfiguring their "S" Digis to Fill-in Digis. California Fill-in Digis are often located on high level Mountain tops. This design can light up an area for moving objects that use WIDE1-1 without greatly increasing network load. Fill-in Digis listen quietly, waiting for first hop fresh packets from properly configured mobiles. Stale packets, and non-moving objects are ignored. Courteous Fill-ins beacon without a path. (KPC Settings: UIDIGI ON WIDE1-1 || UITRACE OFF || UIFLOOD OFF)
Digis that habitually import stale WIDE2-2, or higher, packets into a localized RF area can be modified to only react on specific paths. An "S" Digi could be reconfigured to only react to WIDE1-1 WIDE2-1 and NCAn-N. These measures can be used to "cellularize" a geographic area. This example of a modified "S" Digi would still forward fresh traffic using the recommended paths. These Modified Digis are encouraged to beacon the locally recommended path. "Mobiles Please use WIDE1-1, Fixed WIDE2-1, or NCAn-N". (KPC Settings: UIDIGI ON WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 || UITRACE NCA,30 ||UIFLOOD OFF)
Many "S" wide area Digis are set to trap large paths. High level "S" Digis that are heard directly by several I-gates could be set to limit network load by trapping common multi-hop paths. The wide area Digi is set to Trap WIDE2-2. This Digi would replace the WIDE2-2 with MyCall then Digipeat it. The WIDE2-2 would be treated as a single hop packet going out over the wide area Digi. (KPC Settings: UIDIGI ON WIDE2-2,WIDE3-3,WIDE3-2,WIDE4-4)
Solution: Receive-Only IGate Strategy[edit]
FM capture effect at Bay Area digipeaters is an issue; distance and channel congestion often results in a higher-powered station (mobile or base) covering packets from a lower-power mobile or handheld. Therefore those wishing to contribute to the local APRS system are encouraged to consider establishing receive-only IGates instead of supplemental or fill-in digipeaters. These receive-only IGates pass packets heard on RF to the Internet via APRS-IS but do not add duplicate packets to the VHF airwaves as another digi could.
Solution: Localizing Paths[edit]
Even with the "new paradigm" paths (WIDEn-N) being implemented there are still occasionally cases where local traffic will wander in or out of the Northern California region. To reduce this, high-level network "S overlay" digipeaters (and some stations) have started using the NCAn-N in place of WIDEn-N paths. This ensures that packets intended for Northern California users remain within the region. Digis and other fixed stations are encouraged to beacon local information locally, with no path, and beacon position with a path once an hour. Most Digis trap abusive paths, many trap WIDE3-3, and some high level Digis even trap WIDE2-2. Fill-in digis usually only respond to WIDE1-1, and do not respond to packets addressed via NCA1-1. So a mobile station could use a path of WIDE1-1,NCA1-1 instead of the routine WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 mobile path. Commuters in areas that have I-gates and digis nearby could simply use WIDE1-1. Taming paths and timing to our intended audience shows good amateur practice, and can help alleviate network overload. We have helpful web sites like APRS.FI RAW that make it easy to examine our own settings. Northern California's APRS HOGS web site can help those of us within it's ear shot to attempt to stay off the top of the "Hogs" list. Check to see if your call shows up on the APRS Errors list (It's a big list, put the callsign in your browser's find/search tab to parse). These tools can help us find the settings that work best for our own needs. Ultimately each individual chooses the settings that they require for their own enjoyment of the hobby. Hopefully not at the expense of others.
Recommended path settings for mobile stations[edit]
- WIDE1-1 : "Commuters" may find that a short, single hop, mobile path of WIDE1-1 is adequate for their needs. This "Tracker" path works well throughout California since most Digis are within direct earshot of one or more I-Gates. Single hop paths are light and polite on the RF network. If internet maps are your target, WIDE1-1 is the courteous choice.
- WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 : Two hops in all directions with potential to use fill-in digis. Best routine, and for events.
- WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 : Three hops in all directions. Not normally required; use is discouraged. (Potential for packets to be propagated into neighboring States, activating up to 36 distant digipeaters).
- NCA1-1 : or NCA2-2 can be used if you don't travel outside the Northern California (NCA) region. No access to fill-ins
- Aircraft are recommended to use a single hop path, or no path when at high altitude. (WIDE1-1, or WIDE2-1, or NCA1-1 in NORCAL)
- WIDE3-3, or higher, is not recommended since many Digis trap or ignore WIDE3-3 and above.
Recommended path settings for fixed, non-moving stations[edit]
- NCA1-1 : or NCA2-2 may be used. NCA1-1 is more courteous to our neighbors, and is equivalent to WIDE2-1.
- WIDE2-1 : One hop... Recommended if you are within earshot of a "high" WIDEn-N digi with a large footprint. Avoids use of all fill-in digis.
- WIDE2-2 : Two hops in all directions... maximum for routine use in most areas.
- WIDE3-3 use is discouraged, three hops in all directions. Not normally required, many digis trap WIDE3-3 and higher
- WIDE1-1 Use is discouraged for fixed stations unless your target is a fillin digi.
- RELAY and WIDE and TRACE and TRACEn-N are obsolete and strongly discouraged.
Recommended path settings for 'RF Only' stations[edit]
Some stations have intended targets that they reach directly over RF. It is up to the individual to test different paths that will suffice. The routine mobile or fixed two hop path can propagate out several hundred miles in all directions. The Routine two hop paths work good for most users that rely on the RF network.
- SSn-N is usually not trapped by digis. NCA2-2 can blanket Norcal.
- DigiCall Directed paths via Digi callsigns are very courteous when sending RF messages (Path:DIGI1,DIGI2,WIDE2-1). An APRS message can be sent from Redding to Southern Cal via a directed Path: N6RZR-3,W6PKT-5,WR6ABD,W6BXN-3,SCA2-2. Directed paths reduce potential for fratricide collisions, but also often need multiple retries to complete long paths.
- RFONLY added to the end of the path can block packets from being forwarded to the internet via I-Gates. (Path:NCA2-2,RFONLY). Many I-gates are setup to ignore packets with RFONLY or NOGATE set in the last path.
- Emergency Paths TEMP and SSn-N paths are usually not trapped, or restrained. New Paradigm digis in Northern California with a "S" overlay will Digipeat NCAn-N. An emergency message could be propagated throughout Northern California by using a Path of NCA3-3. A path of NCA3-3,SCA3-3 will blanket the whole State, not advisable for routine traffic. TEMP is encouraged to be enabled in fillin digis, Home stations, and mobiles. It can be enabled in Kenwood D700 radios. This gives us another backup network path. Routine use of TEMP is discouraged on 144.390 MHz, except on Field Day or during emergencies.
Recommended timing settings for mobile[edit]
- Position Beacon : While moving, a beacon rate of once a minute, with a single hop path (WIDE1-1) would be about the fastest TX rate a local network could handle. Many courteous users set 3 to 10 minute beacons, with a routine two hop path (WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1). Smart Beaconing is recommended over timed beaconing when available. Powering Trackers from the Ignition switch or using a Power off timer is recommended. Leaving a mobile tracker on while stationary, with a TX rate of more than once or twice an hour can cause a great load on our RF network over time. Look at the top few users at APRS Hogs, several users let their TNC's transmit at a rapid rate, 24/7. It wouldn't take many uninformed users to overload our precious frequency, that we all have to share. Ultimately it's up to each individual to decide what settings are required for their intended audience.
- Smart Beacon : SmartBeaconing™ transmits beacons depending on speed and direction. This technique is more channel efficient than simple time based beaconing, as it dynamically reduces the number of packets being sent as the unit velocity decreases. The default settings are courteous. Changing the default settings could be detrimental to the network. If the Bay Area APRS.FI map shows someone's tracks as a constant red line, they might have changed smart beacon settings, or Position timing to a rate that adversely affects the RF network.
- Stationary Mobile : Non moving objects TX rate should be similar to fixed stations, once or twice an hour is courteous, and will keep an object on the maps. A stationary mobile that's beacon rate is at once every 10 minutes could be considered a spammer, that's 144 worthless beacons in 24Hrs. Properly setup SmartBeaconing™ transmits a packet once every 30 minutes while stationary, which compensates for the sometimes "spastic" beaconing while CornerPegging™. Setting APRS DC power to vehicle's ignition switch, or use of a timed power off relay is advised to limit needless QRM.
- Status Message : Many Trackers can be set to send a status message once every 10 or 15 position beacons, instead of with every position beacon. This allows quicker air time, less chance of packet collisions, and an increase in successful packets to APRS-IS. Trimming long messages, telemetry, Altitude, TX delays... Can also increase successful packets.
- TX Delay : In the old days 300 milliseconds was the standard. Today in the age of PIN diodes 180 milliseconds should be more than enough.
- MIC-E : Compression can cut air time by more than 50%. Short packet bursts have a much greater success rate, especially in busy Northern California.
Recommended timing settings for fixed, non-moving stations[edit]
- Position Beacon : Position beacons with a path of WIDEn-N, or NCAn-N, are recommended once an hour, any additional position beacons with no path.
- Status-Local info : Repeaters, EchoLink, and IRLP objects are recommended not more often than once every 10 minutes without a path. Keep your local info local.
- TX Delay : 180 Milliseconds is recommended.
Recommended settings for Digipeaters[edit]
- Carrier Detect Software detect is superior to using squelch, it's fast, (squelch off, set to noise all the time) no squelch delays on decode, or TX delays from noise.
- Digi Wait : Set digi wait to minimum: Kantronics UIDWait=OFF || TNC-2 UIDIGI PPERSISTANCE=255 and SlotTime=1 || OT2 SLOT=0 || TT4 PPERsist=0 Quiet=0
- Duplicate Dup limit 30 seconds is recommended for WIDEn-N digis.
- Preempt, if available, is recommended on Digis that have aliases like: SSn-N or SAR.
- Position Beacon : Position beacons with a path of WIDEn-N, or NCAn-N, are recommended once an hour, any additional position beacons with no path. WIDE2-1 or NCA1-1 is adequate for high level Digis. Some High level Digis never beacon with any path. (The latest recommended digi settings from Bob, WB4APR are: Fillin || KPC-3 ver 8.2 || KPC-3+ || UIDIGI ver 1.9 || OT2)
- Status-Local info : Repeaters, EchoLink, and IRLP objects are recommended not more often than once every 10 minutes without a path. Keep your local info local. APRS Objects for Echolink/IRLP and WinLink
- Symbols : WIDEn-N Digis are recommended to be updated to support NCAn-N and display a Green star symbol with an "S" overlay. Fillins Have a Green Star with a "1" overlay. The overlay and digi symbol are placed in the position beacon after the Lat & Long. The following position has a S# to indicate a S overlay Digi. (!DDMM.hhNSDDDMM.hhW#PHGphgdr/ W2, NCAn, We finally updated Intermod Ridge Digi to New Paradigm settings A=003900). Helpful links:Symbol Chart || Good PHGR calculator
- TX Delay : 180 Milliseconds is recommended.
- Trapping : Trap abusive paths from near or distant users. Settings will depend on individual geographic factors. Many digis are now trapping down to WIDE3-3, some high level digis even trap WIDE2-2. This allows users one additional hop via the trapping Digi. A Northern California digi that constantly receives QRM from a WIDE5-3 beacon from out of State could trap it to one additional hop by using the UIDIGI command: KPC-3 (UIDIGI ON, WIDE2-2, WIDE3-3, WIDE3-2, WIDE5-3) Kantronics TNC's allow four trappable paths. || TNC-2 UIDIGI ver1.9 can have up to eight trappable paths: (UIDigiCall = WIDE5-4, WIDE5-3, WIDE4-4, WIDE4-3, WIDE4-2, WIDE3-3, WIDE3-2, WIDE2-2). || OpenTracker2's can trap hops of any WIDEn using HOPlimit, or set up to eight valid aliases with individual hop limits. || TinyTrack4's can allow up to three valid aliases:(WIDE1,WIDE2,NCA1) ignoring potential abusive paths.

Brasil Summerfest kicks off in NYC
by Brazil Club - Let The Music Take You There on 07/17/2014 - 02:58 pm
Listen Live!
Live365.com is the official webstream provider for The Sounds of Brazil!
The World Cup is over but the Brazilian party will go on—in New York City.
Over nine days beginning July 18, nearly 20 acts representing a cross section of Brazilian popular music will play at venues across the city for the fourth annual Brasil Summerfest (Event Schedule).
The festival may do little to avenge Brazil's spectacular World Cup flame out, but at the very least it will show that the South American country has more than soccer: They still have their samba.
What happened to Brazil at the World Cup? Read about Brazil's World Cup demons here.
"Hopefully all the artists will be happy because soccer is a sensitive topic to talk about in Brazil," said Brasil Summerfest founder Petrit Pula, adding that he thinks the festival will get a boost from the Cup, "because you're thinking about Brazil all the time, you're hearing, you're watching a sporting event that's taking place in Brazil and here you have a Brazilian music festival."
While Spanish-language sounds are amply represented in New York City, Portuguese-language Brazilian music has long flown below the radar. Pula aims to change that.
"There was never really a platform for these Brazilian musicians," he said.
When he tried to persuade producers at Central Park's Summerstage to do something to change that, he couldn't seal the deal until he took one of them down to Brazil to hear great music together.
"It was supposed to be a day or two but it turned out to be week and now it's growing fast," he said.
This year's acts range from Bebel Gilberto, daughter of bossa nova giant João Gilberto, to Lenine, who spikes intricate rhythms from Brazil's northeast with dashes of electronica. Gilberto will be opening the festival with a free show at Celebrate Brooklyn, while Lenine will play a free show on July 19 at Central Park's Summer stage.
Bebel Gilberto is coming to Chicago. Details here.
One of the most intriguing acts is Roge, who will play at the City Winery on July 22. The modern samba star has a surfer-boy image many liken to a Brazilian Jack Johnson, a comparison Roge chafes at.
"Our sounds have very different roots. I have a swing, a dance beat that he doesn't have. But you know, having a beach life style, being a beach character, I can see that we share a similar image but I don't see it in the sound," Roge said in telephone interview from his home off Ipanema beach.
Regardless of how you classify him, Roge's sound is winning converts through with his album, "Brenguele," recently released in the United States.
"With the World Cup, Brazil will be in evidence. Because of some songs I'm doing for ESPN, people will have more access to my work," Roge said. "It's my time to arrive."
Warner Brothers Vice President and Sire records co-founder Seymour Stein, who signed Roge, agrees.
"I saw him live at a club, and my god, he had everybody up and moving and was just incredible," said Stein, adding he believes Roge's energy can translate in America even if he's not singing in English.
Pula said that recreating the context for Brazilian music is one of the Brasil Summerfest's main goals.
"The festival itself brings a lot of that energy here. Even in Brazil you wouldn't see all of these artists together," Pula said. "Last year, I felt like I was in Brazil the whole week." AP
So, will you be going? Which of this year's musicans are your favorites?

For blinds outside a recess
We recommend a minimum allowance of 20cm above the recess opening to allow the blind to clear the window when pulled up.
We also suggest that an additional 5cm is allowed on either side and at the bottom of the recess to ensure that the closed blind will cover the window. You can however make the blind as large as you want.
Our Roman blinds are lined with a premium quality lining as standard.
In addition, we offer interlining for extra warmth, or blackout lining for improved light blocking (particularly useful in children's bedrooms). Please see our Advice/Linings for further information on these options.
General considerations for Roman blinds
If the width of your recess is larger than the width of the fabric you've chosen - don't panic! Your blind will be made with one central panel and two side panels (left and right) to ensure a balanced finish.
If the required width of your blind is only marginally wider than your fabric, you may want to consider an edging instead of a join. We can help with this decision, so please ask.
Chain mechanism
All our blinds now come on a chain mechanism and comply with health and saftey regulations (as long as fitting instructions are followed). You can choose the chain colour and the side you would like the control to be on.
Size restrictions
To ensure your blinds work well and look beautiful for years to come we would not recommend having one single blind made wider than 2.5m (cord control) or 2.75m (chain control). If your fabric is particularly heavy weight these widths should be reduced - we are happy to advice you on this.
In these cases, considering a pair of blinds is recommended. Feel free to contact us to discuss your requirements. We're happy to help!

baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Using a system of grading codes based on those established by price guides such as Beckett, Tuff Stuff, Sports Collector's Digest, collectors can determine the approximate condition of items offered by interpreting the following grades. Grading is very subjective and there can also be grades in between the levels below.
MINT (MT) - while we rarely use this grade, occasionally it can be found for items that we appraise as appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. With respect to cards, it would be defined as one with 50/50 centering all around, razor-sharp corners, a photo that is well-registered and completely focused, and no visible imperfections on card front or back.
NEAR MINT-MINT (NRMT/MT) - is qualified by at least 60/40 centering, only the slightest hint of corner wear upon close inspection, and may have a barely visible print spot, lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
NEAR MINT (NRMT) - card displays at least 70/30 centering, may have a visible slight touch of corner wear all around, and/or a few slightly visible print spots, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT-MINT (EX/MINT) - centering equivalent to NRMT (70/30), but 2 or 3 corners display an obvious "fuzzy" quality. Essentially, a card that would have been deemed NRMT if not for the corner wear being more apparent. May have a barely visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT (EX) - all four corners show visible signs of wear, but are not rounded. Centering at least 80/20. May have a visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
VERY GOOD (VG) - Corners are rounded and the card may have creases or wrinkles.
FAIR TO GOOD - in this grade, card has rounded corners and other major defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, multiple creases. In general, a markedly worn card and often used as a "filler" until a better one comes along.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!!

I farmed this Schematic from Library Guardians not far from Ulduar, I don't know if the drop chance has been increased or not but I got it just after a few kills.
I also recieved a engineering quest that is required to learn how to make Scrapbot Construction Kit from the same mobs, which is a reagent for Jeeves.
It only drops for engineers since they are the only ones able to salvage the robots :) Good luck in your farming!

Northern Ireland is a place tinged with poignancy and mystery. A land of great beauty, it has seen its fair share of sorrows and strife. But like its people, it has a natural resilience and this year it is ready to celebrate some important anniversaries.
It's been 100 years since the Titanic rolled off the slipways in Belfast and Northern Ireland's capital is commemorating the event with the Titanic Centenary Festival. This fusion of events throughout April includes plays, music, light shows and exhibits showcasing Belfast's most famous maritime export. The festival officially opens the new memorial garden by the existing Titanic sculpture on the east side of Belfast City Hall as well as Titanic Belfast.
This six-storey, 14,000 sq. m (150,700 sq. ft) complex is located on the original Harland and Wolff shipyards where the RMS Titanic was built. The centre's majestic facade replicates four 27-metre-high hulls created with three thousand shaped panels of silver-anodized aluminum. Visitors take glass elevators to the bridge, where they travel through nine galleries of interactive exhibits recreating the tragic history of the ship, including its final hours.
The Titanic exhibit is only one reason to visit this vibrant but compact city built between three rivers. Belfast has a rich legacy of Georgian, Victoria and Edwardian architecture reflecting its history as an industrial centre. Belfast City Hall was once an international Linen Exchange, and its Baroque Revival towers and lantern-crowned copper dome still dominate the skyline. Other beautiful Victorian buildings also draw tourists today after being converted into chic hotels, restaurants and bars.
The city's rich heritage is reflected in its many churches. One of the most beautiful structures is St. Anne's Cathedral, also known as Belfast Cathedral, with its Hiberno-Romanesque facade and beautiful stained glass windows. Another is the twin-spired St. Peter's Cathedral, an imposing Victorian Gothic Revival building.
The Belfast Festival has long been considered a cultural oasis in the city and it continues to play a part in Belfast's renaissance. Originally a small gathering on the campus of Queen's University, the festival quickly grew into a major cultural event showcasing Irish artists and musicians. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the festival, and from Oct. 19 to Nov. 3 it promises a wide selection of music, drama, theatre, talks, film, dance and comedy featuring an international roster of artists.
Belfast is also a dynamic centre of European popular music where many genres of music thrive. The Belfast Music Exhibition at the Oh Yeah centre showcases much-loved Irish musicians who have provided the soundtrack to our lives. There is also the kitschy but fun Belfast Music Bus Tour for those who would like to follow in the footsteps of their favourite musicians.
North of Belfast are the ravishing Glens of Antrim, known locally as simply The Glens. These nine valleys start at the Antrim Plateau and end at the Eastern coast. Famous for its breathtaking beauty, it's an area immortalized in hundreds of films and TV series. The first half of the Causeway Coastal Route to the small fishing village of Ballycastle in The Glens is dotted with castles and other historic buildings. Among the many sights there is the Norman Carrickfergus Castle, built in 1180; the Roman site where St Patrick was brought as a slave in 399; Glenarm Castle, the 400-year ancestral home to the McDonnell family; and the supposed haunted 17th-century Ballygally Castle. The small town of Ballycastle is the home to a traditional music festival in late June, the Fleadh Amhran agus Rince Festival, which gathers traditional musicians and dancers to perform Irish song and dance. This is the place to hear authentic Irish music.
Nearby lies Rathlin Island, Ireland's closest point to Scotland. This small limestone and basalt island is speckled with standing stones, cairns, passage tombs, cashels, and ancient church and castle sites. It's been the site of many skirmishes between the Vikings, Scottish, English and Irish and is a natural stop for history buffs.
Just beyond Rathlin lies the Giant's Causeway, a 60-million-year-old volcanic formation of 38,000 basalt columns. These hexagonal stones stretch out as far as the sea with some standing as tall as 12 metres. Popular legend has the giant Finn McCoy using these stones to create his homestead. In the summer of 2012, the National Trust opens the Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre, with interactive exhibits, guides, art galleries and restored trails. If you're up for it, take the 17-kilometre coastal path to the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. This 20-metre suspended bridge links the mainland to tiny Carrick Island.
South of Belfast, the Mourne Mountains offer still more astonishing scenery. This is a popular destination for hikers and bicyclists who frequently travel along the Mourne Wall. Built between 1904 and 1922, this 35-km granite wall passes over 15 mountains. The view is said to have inspired C.S. Lewis to write his Narnia series.
The Mourne Mountains region is also home to many picturesque villages. On the craggy coast of Carlingford Lough is the tiny village of Rostrevor. It lies at the foot of the Slieve Martin and has the Kilbroney River flowing through it. The village is known for its folk music, particularly the Fiddler's Green Festival. What started off as a small, one day-event has evolved into an internationally acclaimed festival for Irish music fans. This year's eight-day festival, July 22-29, is celebrating Fiddler's Green's 26th anniversary with 200 musical events in a free outdoor venue. The village makes a perfect base for those wishing to spend a few days exploring this area.

With several tactics already proposed by utility companies and state legislators in the wake of Hurricane Sandy to protect gas and electric infrastructure from future storms, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities is working with the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University to determine the costs and benefits of driving power cables underground or raising utility substations before those efforts are implemented, BPU President Robert M. Hanna said at a Senate committee hearing on utility storm response today.
"We're not going to sit here and wait on what the utilities companies can come up with. We know what the problems are, and we're already on it," Hanna said. "There are benefits to undergrounding, but it can also be incredibly expensive. If a feeder cable goes down, tens of thousands of people could be out of power, so maybe we should only consider moving those cables underground, or adopting a more aggressive tree-trimming policy for those major cables."
But in her testimony at the hearing, Stefanie Brand, director of the state Rate Council, said the agency should first consider reinforcing standards for utility companies' storm response before initiating a cost-benefit analysis of new practices, as Hanna said "the grade on communications is still an 'F' " for the companies.
"We need to go out and check that the regulations are being complied with, and find out what are we already spending on and if there are ways to enhance that spending. Then, we can look at new things, and then we can look at a cost analysis," Brand said. "We've heard testimony today that it will cost $1 billion for (Jersey Central Power & Light) and (Public Service Electric & Gas) to install smart meters. So, for over $1 billion, we get a meter that, as it goes out, it tells the utility it's out, and then when it comes back on, it tells the utility it's back on — when it might be better to spend that money on raising the substations or improving the reliability of the power grid."
No matter how many investments utility companies make post-Sandy, state Sen. Kevin J. O'Toole (R-Cedar Grove) said the BPU must ensure any profits generated by rate increases remain in New Jersey, as he noted JCP&L "needs to be a better business partner in the state, instead of sticking profits in suitcases and shipping it out to Akron, Ohio," where parent company FirstEnergy Corp. is located.
"A lot of things went wrong — some were OK and some were a complete disaster. The learning curve has got to stop, because after Sandy we're dealing with the same problems we had after Irene," O'Toole told JCP&L President Donald M. Lynch at the hearing. "Maybe it's time some of the profits have to be kept in New Jersey where they're generated."
Ralph LaRossa, president and CEO of PSE&G, said in his testimony that his company is willing to invest in improving its substations, switching stations and other infrastructure in New Jersey, but "first we need to figure out: What are we building to?"
"Are we building to a category two, three or four storm? If we solved the problem for a storm surge, we would not be prepared for an earthquake," LaRossa said. "What we really need is to build more redundancy into the power grid and enact more stringent tree-trimming policies."
While Hanna said "it's certainly true that in extreme weather events, one of the causes of widespread power outages is wind knocking down trees," he noted there's "not much political will for aggressively pruning those trees or chopping them down."
"If we turned Shady Lane into Sunshine Drive, we would have less outages, but (the municipalities) don't want to do it," Hanna said. "And I'm not sure the BPU or the state Legislature should be making that call."
Other recommendations from regulators, Senate committee members and utility company executives included improving automated outage communication tools between utilities and the public, dispatching the influx of line workers more efficiently, and investing in combined heat and power facilities that do not rely on the power grid.

After barely nudging its foot in the door of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through a community revitalization program five years ago, Newark-based consulting firm BCT Partners has been flooded with government contracts related to the initiative — including a recent three-year, $3.3 million award to provide technical assistance and supportive services for that original job's expansion program.
"A lot of very experienced companies were bidding on this contract, but our experience providing the same services to the predecessor to this Choice Neighborhoods program put us right in the winner's circle," said Randal D. Pinkett, chairman and CEO of BCT Partners. "Unless you have a name in the business, no one wants to give you work. But now, HUD is our largest customer."
According to Pinkett, BCT Partners won its first prime HUD contract "where preparation meets opportunity," as the firm originally lost the contract that had been set aside for small disadvantaged businesses to another bidder, but "a couple of days later, we got a call back from HUD saying the firm they selected was not eligible for an 8(a) contract, and since they placed us second out of three finalists, we won it by default."
Under that three-year, $2.4 million contract — which HUD extended by an additional $800,000 and another year, to conclude in March 2013 — Pinkett said BCT Partners provides technical assistance to community housing authorities that receive grants under the Hope VI neighborhood revitalization program.
For that national initiative, Pinkett said his company "fills the gaps in certain expertise necessary for the grants to be successful, like providing a lawyer to represent a housing authority in a contractual agreement with a developer."
But under the program, Pinkett said his firm was not proactively addressing the extensive issues in public safety, health care and education — and as a result, "we were limited in how much we could do to transform neighborhoods through better affordable housing, because the context that existed around the work we were doing somehow undermined it."
However, Pinkett said BCT Partners will have the opportunity to address those broader issues by providing the same technical support under the Choice Neighborhoods program, which gives grantees access to resources not only from HUD, but also the departments of Justice, Health and Human Services, and Education.
Though BCT Partners currently employs 50 people at its Newark office, Pinkett said the two neighborhood revitalization contracts are projected to create a total of 14 new jobs at his company — and "the contracts keep coming."
"We're hitting the ground running, because we've landed 25 or more government contracts just in the past few years," Pinkett said. "Getting this new HUD contract is a reminder of where we've been, when we were working so hard just to break in. All we needed was to get in the door … and now we have about 60 percent of our revenue coming from federal contracts."
