The act targets tax avoidance by closing loopholes that allow companies to benefit from low-tax jurisdictions, potentially raising R8 billion in revenue by 2026. Rooted in the OECD's global tax reform framework, it applies to firms with annual revenues exceeding €750 million. While some organizations applaud the move, critics argue the threshold is too high, leaving many companies unaffected. Implementation begins this year.

In South Africa, more than 8 million of our 12.5 million school pupils walk to school as their families cannot afford private transportation. The danger some of them face has been highlighted by a recent story of the pupils of a remote village of eNkovukeni in far northern KwaZulu-Natal who have to cross a lake with hippos to get to the Nhlange Secondary School in Manguzi. A non-profit organisation, The Love Trust, which runs the Nokuphila School in Tembisa, has devised a plan to provide safe and dependable transport to its pupils. They invite businesses to sponsor a seat through the Nokuphila Transport Programme. Mmatsie Motimele, a fundraiser for The Love Trust, told BizNews in an interview that a key contributor to the school's high attendance record is their commitment to providing safe and dependable transport to their pupils. Seats can be sponsored on the GivenGain website. The annual cost per child is R8,941.

https://forums.eveonline.com/t/creatnos-for-csm19/462978 Hello Gamers, I am Creatnos, a once youthful kid saddened by the loss of his cormorant, now a slightly more mature kid saddened by the loss of skyhook raiding. I am running for CSM for the first time. For my Eve career I have mostly stayed out of the spotlight, so many of you probably do not know me by name, but chances are, someone you know, knows me. I started playing this game back in 2010 right around the time I was starting high school so i pretty much grew up with this game. I started off in Hisec, enjoying the day to day missioning, fighting off the mean wardeccers, and occasionally peeking into lowsec to see what real pvp was all about. Over a decade has passed and I have experienced pretty much everything this game has to offer. I participated in the Great Wars, like being a line member in a drake in DBRB fleets. Bombed armor bs fleets of old with Wrik Hoover and Cloak Squad in the south. Fought the world with Elo in Black Legion and the fcs of old in Pandemic Legion. Roamed wormhole space with Noobman and HK. Founded NSH (the original GW version). Ran faction warfare complexes and spearfished individual ships out of entire fleets. I've spent more hours than I can count practicing for Alliance Tournaments and hunting supers moving through lowsec and nullsec. The last couple of months I have enjoyed all that skyhook raiding had to offer, killing the occasional traveling super and more recently am involved in a small war that has broken out in lowsec. The reason I am running for CSM is in hopes of keeping the flame going that keeps us wanting to play this game. I have made many friends in the years I have played this game that I have known for almost 15 years and still make new friends to this day. My focus on CSM would be improvements related to PvP for those primarily in lowsec and their interactions with nullsec, as well as with nullsec as on its own. Some of the things I am interested in below. Skyhook Raiding - This is a huge content driver. Admittedly the stealing was too easy, but the proposed changes are bad. Very bad. I hope to help bring some parity to this mechanic where both the aggressor and defender want to interact with it. Equinox changes as a whole started out looking promising, but have been on a gradual decline ever since the first patch. Metenox Moon Drills - This is another big content driver, and fighting over them day in and out for the last month I have a pretty good feeling on the hp amounts that attackers and defenders have to deal with. I think some healthy changes can be made that would put these in a better state. Also I have had some shower thoughts about limiting drills to only harvesting R8 and higher. Force Projection - Eve has become significantly smaller since I started playing, and back in the day we were able to take 50 supers and go north to south in 10 minutes. Between uni wormholes, ansiblexes, zarzakh (prior to recent events), maneuvering the universe became too easy. At least in the past, the wormhole highway required people to put some effort into scanning to get around places. Fozziesov - I personally dislike ever going away from SBUs to the way sov wanding works now. I would like to see some change because the state it is in now isn't particularly fun. Capital/Supercapital Ship Changes - I think there is a lot of work that can be done to better the state of all capitals. Carrier changes were definitely a good start. I would like to see a world where people are at least somewhat interested in using their supers outside of beacons, but cost and effectiveness prevents that. Lancers being used almost exclusively for killing jump freighters also seems like a void that can be filled. Carrier fighters could use some refinement. Contact and Bookmark QOL changes - Allow for more contacts slots (currently 1024) for the purpose of NPSI fleets. Also increase shared bookmark folders from 3 to 5 and maybe add some more bookmark slots to those folders. Pochven - I personally dislike pochven in its entirety, but I especially would like to see some of the isk faucet cut down. I don't have immediate solutions for all these topics, nor do I expect to please everyone, but what I can say is that I am very good at talking to people and I regularly interact with people from all across our community. I want to hear what people's opinions are about all aspects of the game and I hope to be as transparent as possible both with you all and with CCP in hopes of bettering this game we spend too much time playing. I have a ton of experience in this game and hopefully that history can better our future.

What do you do when you're bored of being one of the fastest 5-cylinder drag cars in the world?

Durante unas décadas la disposición con el motor atrás era considerada la mejor para aprovechar el espacio y rebajar el coste de fabricación de un coche… hubo muchos y muy conocidos coches “todo atrás” … y también muchos poco o nada conocidos. Hoy toca hablar de los desconocidos. ¿Qué ventajas tiene el motor posterior? Voy a enumerar las más importantes: - Aprovechamiento del espacio. No hay árbol de transmisión por en medio. - Más barato, pues es más sencillo y con menos piezas que fabricar. - Aerodinámica, puedes hacer el morro muy bajo, porque ahí no hay “nada”. ¿Y el inconveniente? Pues no es lo ideal para la estabilidad, como te contamos en un video que hicimos titulado “Coche “todo atrás”, ¿Por qué son un peligro?”. En ese video aparece alguno de los coches que vamos a citar hoy. Vamos ya con la lista…. ¡a ver cuántos conoces! 1. Mercedes-Benz 130 (1934). Si miras este coche te puedes creer que estás ante un precursor del VW Escarabajo… pues no, es todo un Mercedes, pero con motor posterior. Tuvo diversos sucesores, los 150 y 170H. Las malas lenguas dicen que este modelo se inspiró en el Tatra T77 que apareció poco después y que era muy parecido… 2. Tatra 77a (1935). Tatra es una desaparecida marca checa por la que tengo gran aprecio. Hemos hablado de ella en muchas ocasiones, porque es injustamente olvidada. Prácticamente siempre apostó por grandes motores colocados atrás y por modelos con refinada aerodinámica. Uno de los primeros de esta saga es el 77a que he elegido para esta lista… ¡no me digáis que no es precioso! 3. SMZ (1954). ¡Una verdadera rareza! Es un coche ruso destinado a personas discapacitadas… En las desaparecidas URSS se le conocía como “la silla de ruedas con motor” y contaba con una mecánica de dos tiempos, 350 cm3 y 10 CV en la versión A. 4. Subaru 360 (1958). Os traigo al primer Subaru. Hay muchos modelos japoneses con motor trasero, muy desconocidos por estos lares, por eso he querido traer por lo menos uno y os traído este, del que se fabricaron casi 400.000 unidades y que permitió a Subaru afianzarse como marca. 5. Hino Contessa (1961). Hino es una empresa japonesa ahora propiedad de Toyota y que fabrica camiones. En 1953 fabricó en Japón y bajo licencia el Renault 4 CV, conocido como 4/4 en España. Hay varios modelos de Hino Contessa, de diseño Michelotti, inspiración americana, en el Corvair, un coche fracasado pero muy inspirador, y basado en la tecnología francesa… una verdadera rareza. 6. NSU Prinz 4 (1961). Me gusta especialmente la generación 4 inspirada en el Chevrolet Corvair americano… de hecho parece un encogido. Contaba con motor posterior de 535 cm3, de 2 cilindros y 4 tiempos que desarrollaba 35 CV… que no estaba nada mal. De hecho, es un coche que tuvo cierto éxito en competición para coches de menos de 750 cm3. 7. Hillman Imp (1963). Como se cuele decir, en este caso “el niño nació muerto”. ¿Por qué digo esto? Porque cuando se lanzó este modelo en 1963 el Mini llevaba muchos años en el mercado. Por calidad de realización, acabados y fiabilidad, el Imp era mejor. Pero por comportamiento estaba a otro nivel. Luego, además, por temas políticos, se trasladó su producción a Escocia y dejaron de ser tan buenos y fiables. 8. Renault 10 (1965). No he podido resistirme a incluir al olvidado R10, una versión alargada y más lujosa del R8. Renault quería competir en coches de la categoría superior al R8 y se le ocurrió alargar el citado R8 ¡Ojo!, los voladizos, porque la distancia entre ejes era la misma, pero se alargaba nada menos que 10 cm delante y 8 cm detrás. Pasaban varias cosas. En primer lugar, era más de lo mismo. En segundo, la habitabilidad era idéntica, aunque el maletero fuese algo mayor. Y tercero, curiosamente, al alargar el coche y con el capó plano, parecía más estrecho, Nunca fue percibido como un coche netamente superior al R8 y se puede decir que fue un fracaso. 9. Škoda Rapid (1980). Škoda tiene mucha tradición en coches con motor posterior. Este Rapid de 1980 fue de los últimos, pero un coche que yo probé y me sorprendió su calidad. Sabía que los checos eran buenos haciendo coches, aunque su tecnología estuviese, en esos años, algo anticuada. Era un coche con encanto, bien hecho, diferente… de los que Škoda ya no hace. Los hace mejores, pero no tan especiales. 10. Tata Nano (2008). El más moderno de la lista, que se fabricó hasta hace solo 6 años. Era un coche muy especial, un coche mínimo que debía ser muy práctico y muy, pero que muy barato. Y lo fue. Cuando se puso a la venta en la India, el precio de este coche era de alrededor de 1.500 €. Si lo hacemos en “euros constantes” teniendo en cuanto la inflación, estaríamos hablando de unos 3.000 €. O sea, muy barato. Tenía motor posterior de dos cilindros, 624 cm3 y 33 CV con un consumo homologado de alrededor de 4 litros a los 100 km. Conclusión. Me he dejado varios en la recámara, pero alguno de ellos saldrá en el video que desde ya estoy preparando de coches carismáticos con motor trasero, y os adelanto que alguno de esto también os va a sorprender. Coche del día. Como coche del día os traído un clásico del canal, un coche que me entusiasma porque no puede ser más raro, el Dymaxion. Es el único coche que conozco con motor posterior y tracción delantera y, además, dirección a la única rueda situada en el eje trasero… ¡este hecho al revés! Pero estará conmigo en que no puede ser más raro, más curioso y más atractivo.

For this, the 68th episode of the World's Number One Open Source Film Photography Podcast, the gang invited our friend and film photographer Johnny Martyr to share with us his love of Leicas.  As is the case any time the topic of cameras made by everyone's favorite Wetzlar based company is mentioned, the Force™ beckons our own resident Leica Master, Dan Tamarkin, who also joins us on our first ever April Fool's Day episode! What is real and what is fake?!  Are Johnny and Dan really here or did Mike just find a really convincing AI voice generator?!  NO ONE KNOWS! Helping Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike differentiate between reality and imagination, are returning callers Bob Rotoloni, Mark Faulkner, Patrick Casey, Raymond Nason, and first time callers Alan Peres, and Brock's Garage! Starting off the episode, Johnny talks a bit about his business, shooting film and digital with his wife and what kinds of customers would hire a film photographer.  Of all the reasons someone might want a professional photographer, there is one type of gig that people tend to favor film more, but what is it?  Johnny also talks about how when he first got started, his customers struggled to differentiate his film shots from his wife's digital shots, so he sought out ways to come up with his own style. For the second episode in a row, Leica R SLRs have captivated the Camerosity Crew, and Paul, Mike, and Dan discuss all of Leicas different SLRs, and what they like about each one.  Mike recently shot three different Leica SLRs and clearly loved one over the others, but which one was it? Have you ever struggled loading film into bottom loading Leica screw mount (and similar) cameras?  Does trimming the leader to the necessary length cause you heartache and slow you down too much?  If so, Johnny has found a new type of take up spool that works in most screw mount Leicas (and copies) that greatly simplifies loading film into these cameras without having to trim the leader.  Enter Ausgeknipst, a small German company who 3D printed a new design that both Johnny and Mike have tested. Finally, Mike shares his thoughts on a camera he thought would make a good April Fool's Discussion because of how well it "fooled" the community upon its release, but strangely, he ended up liking it way more than he thought he would.  But what was it? As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.

We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, rather than discuss a certain brand or type of camera, we thought it would be fun to discuss an entire decade worth of cameras, and what better decade to start in, but the 1970s!  Get out your hair picks, put on your bell bottoms, and spin up some Kiss records and call in to share with us your favorite 1970s cameras!

RENAULT R8 TS: El GTi Español

El Garaje Hermético de Máximo Sant

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 27, 2024 21:55


El Renault 8TS en España fue todo un referente. Para muchos, entre los que me incluyo, se podría decir que fue el primer GTi. ¿Por qué? Era una versión deportiva derivada del utilitario R8, fiable, práctico, atractivo y con un comportamiento deportivo muy destacable. En este video, te contamos todos los detalles y además contamos con nuestro “Consultorio Clásico” con Jaime Sánchez de “Seat en rodaje” como protagonista… menudo lujo. Hay que reconocer que en su momento el R8 era un referente, sobre todo en España. En Francia se había presentado en 1962 y en España 1965 y se vendió hasta 1976, nada menos que 11 años. Y, seamos honestos, frente a su competencia, los Seat 850 y Simca 1.000, ofrecía un nivel de calidad claramente superior. El R8 fue sustituido por el R5, con motor y tracción delantera, un modelo claramente más moderno. Fue el último de su especie, pero ¿de qué especie hablamos? En Francia el preparador especialista en Renault, Gordini, ya se incorpora a la fábrica para hacer modelos deportivos sobre los ya existentes. Así nace el R8 Gordini, un R8 con motor 1.108 cm3 en vez de 956 cm3. Con 77 CV y menos de 900 kg, era un coche muy deportivo para la época… pero caro y hasta cierto punto complicado por su carburación. A la vista de este problema Renault toma una decisión muy inteligente. Por un lado, se produce una huida “hacia adelante” presentando un nuevo R8 Gordini, pero de 1.255 cm3 y nada menos que 88 CV gracias a 2 carburadores dobles. Pero al mismo tiempo lanza el R8 S, de Sport, una versión civilizada del Gordini, de la misma cilindrada, pero de solo 51 CV, mucho más económico y sencillo y con una carburación que no daba problema alguno. El coche fue un éxito. Tanto que Renault en España pensó… ¿y si lo lanzamos aquí? Dicho y hecho: el motor de 1.108 cm3 con Weber 32 y un escape con un sonido bonito e inconfundible conseguía 56 CV frente a los 41 del modelo básico de 956 cm3… hablamos de una mejora del ¡¡¡36 por ciento!!! Un coche con una relación peso/potencia en torno a los 13 kg por caballo y una velocidad punta superior a 145 km/h era un verdadero “tiro”. Pues sí, porque el TS funcionó muy bien como “motor de imagen”, una expresión de mercadotecnia, o de marketing que se dice ahora, que se refiere a versiones que no es que se vendan bien, sino que se hace que se vendan bien otras inferiores. En esto también tuvo mucho que ver la competición… El R8 TS aportaba mejoras objetivas, pero también subjetivas. Por ejemplo, la estética, pues los colores más habituales, azul Francia, amarillo y naranja, le sentaban fenomenal y lo convertían en un coche joven y deportivo. La combinación de los 4 faros delanteros, con dos centrales de largo alcance, con ese ángulo en el morro, le concedían un aspecto agresivo… a lo que colaboraba el inconfundible sonido que salía de su escape, propio de un coche de más “caché”. Y siguiendo con lo subjetivo: Te subías al coche y ese volante y ese salpicadero, “salpicado” nunca mejor dicho de un montón de relojes… lo convertían en un coche muy deportivo. Hasta aquí los subjetivo. Vamos a lo objetivo. En recta, el R8 TS era un tiro. A pesar de sus tambores traseros, que en el R8S francés eran discos, gracias a su bajo peso el R8 TS frenaba bien, muy bien. El cambio era agradable y rápido de utilizar, pero lo mejor era el motor, como diría mi padre “alegre”; que subía rápido de vueltas, pero tenía buenos bajos… un motor perfecto porque además era fiable y económico de consumo. Hablemos de estabilidad. Pero no lo hagamos con la perspectiva actual, porque diríamos que era un peligro. Y no era así. El R8 era una mejora clara del Dauphine, que en España algunos llamaron “fabricante de viudas” y era mejor que el Seat 850 y al nivel del Simca 1000. Vamos a dar un “empujón” a los monográficos y a las comparativas Vintage así que ahora os pongo la “pelota” en vuestro tejado: ¿Cuál queréis que sea el próximo? O la próxima comparativa… tengo algunas ideas, pero espero vuestras sugerencias.
