The comparative effectiveness of fighter guns in the Second World War is a subject of perennial fascination (and a great deal of argument) among technical military historians. This is an attempt to take a fresh and objective look at the evidence in order to draw up comparative tables of cartridge destructiveness, gun power and gun efficiency. The effectiveness of typical day fighter armament fits is also considered.
There are two types of energy that may be transmitted to the target; kinetic and chemical. The kinetic energy is a function of the projectile weight and the velocity with which it hits the target. This velocity in turn depends on three factors: The muzzle velocity, the ballistic properties of the projectile, and the distance to the target. There are therefore two fixed elements in calculating the destructiveness of a projectile, its weight and chemical (high explosive or incendiary) content, and one variable element, its velocity. The key issue is the relationship between these three factors.
A high muzzle velocity will provide a short flight time, which is advantageous in increasing the hit probability and extending the effective range, and will also improve the penetration of AP rounds. However, it might not add much to destructiveness, as unless an AP projectile hits armour plate (and not much of the volume of an aircraft was protected by this), a higher velocity just ensures that a neater hole is punched through the aircraft; the extra kinetic energy is wasted. Also, if the projectile is primarily relying on HE blast or incendiary effect, the velocity with which it strikes the target is almost immaterial. Provided that it hits with sufficient force to penetrate the skin and activate the fuze, the damage inflicted will remain constant. In contrast, AP projectiles lose effectiveness with increasing distance.
It is sometimes argued that a projectile with a high muzzle velocity and a good ballistic shape (which reduces the rate at which the initial velocity is lost) provides a longer effective range. To some extent this is true, but the greatest limitation on range in air fighting in the Second World War was the difficulty in shooting accurately. The problem of hitting a target moving in three dimensions from another also moving in three dimensions (and probably at a different speed and on a different heading) requires a complex calculation of range, heading and relative speed, while bearing in mind the flight time and trajectory of the projectiles. Today, such a problem can easily be solved by a ballistic computer linked to a radar or laser rangefinder, but at the time we are examining, the "radar" was the human eyeball and the "ballistic computer" the human brain. The range, heading and speed judgements made by the great majority of pilots were notoriously poor, even in training. And this was without considering the effects of air turbulence, G-forces when manoeuvring, and the stress of combat. These factors limited the effective shooting range to around 400 m against bombers (longer in a frontal attack) and against fighters more like 250 m.
For all of these reasons muzzle energy (one half of the projectile weight multiplied by the square of the velocity) has not been used to calculate kinetic damage as this would overstate the importance of velocity. Instead, momentum (projectile weight multiplied by muzzle velocity) was used as an estimate of the kinetic damage inflicted by the projectile. It might be argued that even this overstates the importance of velocity in the case of HE shells, as noted above, but the effect of velocity in improving hit probability is one measure of effectiveness which needs acknowledging, so it is given equal weighting with projectile weight.
Chemical energy is generated by the high explosive or incendiary material carried by most WW2 air-fighting projectiles. First, there is the difference between HE and incendiary material, which were often mixed (in very varying proportions) in the same shell. HE delivers instant destruction by blast effect (plus possibly setting light to inflammable material within its blast radius), incendiaries burn on their passage through the target, setting light to anything inflammable they meet on the way. The relationship between the effectiveness of HE and incendiary material is difficult to assess. Bearing in mind that fire was the big plane-killer, there appears to be no reason to rate HE as more important, so they have been treated as equal.
The comparison between kinetic and chemical energy is the most difficult and complicated subject to tackle. This complexity is revealed by the example of a strike by a delay-fuzed HEI cannon projectile. This will first inflict kinetic damage on the target as it penetrates the structure. Then it will inflict chemical (blast) damage as the HE detonates. Thirdly, the shell fragments sent flying by the explosion will inflict further kinetic damage (a thin-walled shell will distribute lots of small fragments, a thick-walled shell fewer but larger chunks), and finally the incendiary material distributed by the explosion may cause further chemical (fire) damage.
There will therefore always be a degree of arbitrariness in any attempt to compare kinetic and chemical energy, as it all depends on exactly where the projectile strikes, the detail design of the projectile and its fuze, and on the type of aircraft being attacked. To allow a simple comparison, we will reduce all these factors to an increase in effectiveness directly proportional to the chemical content of the projectile. We assign to projectiles that rely exclusively on kinetic energy an effectiveness factor of 100%. For projectiles with a chemical content, we increase this by the weight fraction of explosive or incendiary material, times ten. This chosen ratio is based on a study of many practical examples of gun and ammunition testing, and we will see below that it at least approximately corresponds with the known results of ammunition testing.
To illustrate how this works: a typical cannon shell consists of 10% HE or incendiary material by weight. Multiplying this by ten gives a chemical contribution of 100%, adding the kinetic contribution of 100% gives a total of 200%. In other words, an HE/I shell of a given weight that contains 10% chemicals will generate twice the destructiveness of a plain steel shot of the same weight and velocity. If the shell is a high-capacity one with 20% chemical content, it will be three times as destructive. If it only has 5% content, the sum will be 150%, so it will be 50% more destructive, and so on.
The following table for the most common cartridges and loadings used in aircraft guns shows the consequences of these assumptions and calculations. The first few columns should be self-explanatory, as these are basic statistics about the ammunition. HE(M) means Minengeschoss, or high-capacity mine shell. The 'DAMAGE' column shows the results of the calculations described above. To run through an example, let us look at the case of the 7.7x56R (.303") incendiary. The projectile (a "De Wilde") weighs 9.8 g, (which equals 0.0098 kg) and was fired at 747 m/s. Multiplying these gives 747 x 0.0098 = 7.3206, so you have a momentum factor of 7.32. As the bullet contains 5% by weight of incendiary material, the momentum is multiplied by 1.5 to give a destructive power score of 10.98 - rounded to 11.
The last column - 'POWER' - takes into account that different types of ammunition, with different destructiveness scores, were commonly loaded into an ammunition belt or magazine. Many cannon shells were also available with tracers, which reduced the weight of HEI mix. This column therefore shows an average score for the different types to give an overall destructiveness assessment for that calibre. For convenience, the result is divided by ten and rounded to the nearest whole number (except for HMGs), which helpfully leaves the least powerful cartridges, the rifle calibre rounds, scoring 1.
Comments on Table 1
Clearly, the resulting scores can only be approximate, and in particular will vary depending on the particular mix of types included in an ammunition belt. The power calculation takes a typical mix of ammunition, where known. They also take no account of the fact that some incendiary mixtures, and some types of HE, were more effective than others were. However, they do provide a reasonable basis for comparison. There is no point in trying to be too precise, as the random factors involved in the destructive effects were considerable.
If we compare the values with the few data known from ballistic tests, we have some indications that the factors assumed in the calculations are realistic. The 20x80RB M-Geschoss and the 20x110 (Hispano) HE were rated as about equal; the greater blast effect of the M-Geschoss was countered by the greater penetration and kinetic damage inflicted by the Hispano. They do indeed emerge with similar scores. Also, the Luftwaffe reckoned that it took about four or five times as many 20 mm shells to destroy a heavy bomber as it did 30 mm rounds. The power relationship here is 3.6 times for the MK 108 and 6.2 times for the MK 103, which neatly brackets this observation.
Cartridge illustrations
These photos illustrate the different cartridges listed above (with the exception of the 40mm CL). The first PHOTO includes rounds from 7.7x56R to 20x101RB; the second PHOTO starts with the 20x101RB and finishes with the 37x195.
The cartridge destructiveness table above only shows the relative effect of one hit. When comparing the guns that fired the cartridges, other factors come into play, namely the rate of fire (RoF) and the gun weight.
To calculate the destructive power of the gun, the 'POWER' factor from the above table has been multiplied by the RoF, expressed in the number of rounds fired per second. This gives the relative 'GUN POWER' figures in the table below. It is important to note that all of the RoF figures are for unsynchronised guns; the exception is the 12.7 mm UB (Soviet Berezin) where the lower RoF figure is for a synchronised gun (which it commonly was in fighters), the higher for unsynchronised. The effects of synchronisation on other guns varied considerably; for German weapons, which used an efficient electrical system, the reduction in RoF was around 10%. For other systems it typically varied between 20 and 40%.
To judge how efficient the gun was, the 'GUN POWER' result is divided by the weight of the gun in kilograms to provide the 'GUN EFFICIENCY' score in the last column. This is, in effect, a measure of the power-to-weight ratio of the gun and ammunition combination.
Comments on Table 2
Two factors not included are gun reliability and total ammunition weight. The former is simply not available in most cases. The latter involves too many variables. First, the ammunition supply for most guns varied according to the installation. Furthermore, in searching for comparators, there would be the problem of which measures to take: the weight of the number of rounds fired per second, or the weight of the number required to inflict a certain amount of damage? There would be a case for either of these, but they would produce very different results. This issue is however addressed in the next table.
The lower rate of fire of many of the larger guns tends to reduce their power advantage over the smaller calibres. However, in power-to-weight ratio, larger guns are generally better performers (the slow-firing American 37 mm M4 and low-velocity IJA Ho-301 excepted).
Most of the Soviet guns show up as being remarkably efficient, with scores of around 4, but the Hispano and the MG 151/20 also show up well, as do the simple MG-FF and Japanese Type 99 API blowbacks because of their light weight.
The American Browning .50 M2 is an undistinguished performer, particularly when compared with its closest competitor, the 12.7 mm Berezin. The relatively small incendiary content in the .50 API (0.9 g instead of 2 g) gives the Soviet round a flying start, which it adds to by its usefully higher rate of fire, then finishes off in style by being lighter as well, and thereby almost twice as efficient overall. The Browning also makes an interesting comparison with the Japanese Ho-5, which was basically the M2 slightly scaled up to take 20 mm cartridges.
It may appear that this low score of the .50 M2 is in disagreement with the satisfactory experience the USAAF had with this weapon. The answer to this apparent contradiction is that the .50 M2 proved very effective against fighters and (not too sturdy) bombers, if installed in sufficient numbers. Six or eight guns were specified as standard armament, resulting in a destructive power total of 360 or 480, at the cost of a rather high installed weight. Most American fighters were sufficiently powerful to have a high performance despite this weight penalty. Incidentally, the mediocre efficiency score of the .50 M2 is not only an effect of the low chemical content of its projectiles. Even if only the kinetic energy were considered, the efficiency of this gun would remain inferior to that of the UBS, B-20, ShVAK or Hispano, although better than that of the MK 108 or MG-FFM. To sum up, the preferred US armament fit was effective for its purpose, but not very efficient by comparison with cannon.
A further validation of the calculations is provided by the outcome of tests by the USN, which stated that the 20 mm Hispano was about three times as destructive as the .50 M2. In the above table, the ratio between their scores is 3.3.
The outstanding performer is clearly the German 30 mm MK 108, which achieves ten times the destructiveness of the .50 M2 for only twice the weight. It makes a particularly interesting comparison with the MK 103, which fired the same M-Geschoss projectiles. The MK 103 gains an advantage because of its higher velocity, but loses most of it due to its lower rate of fire, then is finally eclipsed in efficiency because of its much greater weight. No surprise that the Luftwaffe considered the MK 108 their premier air-fighting gun despite its low muzzle velocity. The Me 262 jet fighter, with four of these guns clustered in the nose, completely outclassed the firepower of every other WW2 fighter.
Finally, a consideration of how the firepower of day fighters compared with each other, and in particular how it increased during the war. The aircraft have been grouped in early-war, middle-war and late-war fighters, and have been chosen to be representative of their period.

Comments on Table 3
The armament installations are listed in the second column. In some cases there were several alternative armament installations for the specified type of aircraft; of these one has been chosen. The (e) and (s) in the armament column indicate engine cannon and guns synchronised to fire through the propeller, respectively. Where the rate of fire for the synchronised installation is not known, a reduction of 25% of the unsynchronised rate of fire has been assumed. An exception was made for the MG 131 and MG 151/20 with their electrical priming systems (10%) and the big Browning .50 M2, Ho-103, and Ho-5 (40%), as these weapons reportedly suffered badly when synchronised.
The specified weight is the weight of the bare guns and the ammunition. It does not include belt links, ammunition tanks, gun mounting points and recoil buffers, synchronisation systems and trigger gear, et cetera. Realistic figures for the weight penalty would probably be 30 to 60% higher; for example, values are known of 685 kg for the P-38J and 495 kg for the P-39D.
The ammunition power value is the cartridge power value from Table 1, multiplied by the number of cartridges carried. The gun power value is the sum of the gun powers as in Table 2, but recalculated to take into account the effects of synchronisation.
The final column gives the time in seconds, needed to fire the equivalent of an ammunition power of 2320. The choice of this value is somewhat arbitrary; it was selected simply because the heaviest armed fighter - the Me 262 - was capable of delivering this firepower in one second, so it enables easy comparisons to be made. Not all fighters carried that much ammunition; for those aircraft that did not the time has been put between brackets.
During 1939 - 1941 we see that all fighters of the Axis nations and the USSR have fairly modest firepower. This characteristic is also shared by the Hurricane Mk.I (and of course the Spitfire Mk.IA). Near the end of this period the UK and USA started to build fighters with much more firepower, and by 1942 the Curtiss P-40E and Hawker Typhoon were established in service. With those fighters the armament pattern preferred by these two nations emerged: six .50 M2 guns and four Hispano cannon, respectively. We see that these choices are approximately the same in weight, but the second offers twice the firepower. Armed with six .50 guns in the wings were also the F4F-4, P-51D, and most of the production of the F6F and F4U. Some US fighters - the most important of them was the P-51B - had only four .50 M2 guns, resulting in a firepower value of just 240, well below average after 1941.
In the second period the firepower of Axis fighters is substantially improved, mostly by the introduction of multiple and better 20 mm cannon: the MG 151/20, Ho-5 and Type 99-2. The weight of their armament installations remained fairly low, especially compared with that of the new American fighters, the P-38 and P-47. But the empty weight of these aircraft was 5.8 and 4.5 tons, compared with 2.6 tons for a Bf 109 and 3.5 tons for an Fw 190A, so the weight of the armament was roughly proportional. The Japanese made an interesting attempt to improve the firepower of the Ki-44 by installing the 40 mm Ho-301 cannon, firing caseless ammunition. But the 245 m/s muzzle velocity of these weapons was far too low, and they failed in combat. Not many of these Ki-44-IIc aircraft were built.
In the final period specialised bomber-killers such as the Fw 190A-8/R8 and Me 262 appeared, with impressively high firepower values due to their MK 108 cannon. These too had a relatively low muzzle velocity, but at 505 m/s this was still sufficient for engaging bombers. Exchanging two MG 151/20 for MK 108 cannon nearly doubles the firepower of the Fw 190A-8. It is also obvious that the armament installations of these fighters are quite heavy, especially for the small Fw 190; the A-8/R8 was heavily armoured as well. The need to destroy heavy bombers had an adverse effect on the performance of German fighters.
An obvious overall tendency is that towards steadily increasing firepower: The average gun power in the three periods is 210, 460 and 870. This comes with a rise in the average weight, which climbs from 175 kg over 300 kg to 340 kg. In the first years of war a third of the selected fighters fails to reach the 2320 ammunition limit, but in the last years they all carry much more than that.
Of course, the projectiles could only inflict damage if they hit the target, and in aerial combat the great majority missed (estimates for an average pilot's hit rate varying between two and five percent). Pilot skill was by far the most important factor in this, in combination with the quality of the gunsight; it was claimed that the gyroscopic sight (which entered UK/USA service in 1944) put deflection shooting within the ability of the average pilot and thereby doubled armament effectiveness. Other factors were the nature of the target (its size and whether or not it was manoeuvring), the steadiness of the fighter as a gun platform, the muzzle velocity of the guns (the higher, the better) and the location of the guns, centre-mounted ones being more efficient than wing-mounted over a wide range of target distances.
Criticisms and Alternatives
The publication of this study has created much interest and comment. Unsurprisingly, the most vocal commentators have been those with criticisms of the methodology used. This section has therefore been added in order to describe and answer the criticisms.
There are four principal criticisms, which are mainly centred on the validity of the comparison between the .50 Browning and the rival cannon. In these tables, the Browning compares rather poorly and this is sometimes, of itself, taken to discredit the entire comparison on the grounds that the USAAF was the most successful air force, so its chosen armament had to be much better than this study suggests. This general point will be returned to later. The specific criticisms are:
1. The kinetic element of destructiveness is measured at the muzzle, not at combat range. The subtext of this argument is that the .50 Browning, having better ballistics than cannon, retains a higher percentage of its destructiveness at long range than cannon.
In fact, while it is true that most cannon shells slow down more quickly than the .50 calibre bullets, it is not true that their destructiveness reduces pro rata. As has already been pointed out in this study, much of the destructiveness of cannon shells lies in their HE/I content, which is not affected at all by the striking velocity as long as it is sufficient to actuate the fuze. So while both .50 bullets and cannon shells lose kinetic effectiveness with range (the cannon shells at a faster rate), in overall destructiveness (kinetic +chemical) most cannon shells actually lose effectiveness more slowly than the bullets.
It is also worth pointing out that most successful attacks in WW2 took place at fairly short ranges at which different projectile ballistics would not have had a major effect on destructiveness. During 1940 the RAF rapidly dropped the harmonisation distance for their fighter guns from 370 to 230m, and were annoyed that the narrow gun bays in the Spitfire's wing prevented them from harmonising the 20mm cannon down to their preferred distance of 180m (at which they did most ammunition effectiveness testing). Although successful attacks at longer ranges were possible, particularly against large, stable targets like heavy bombers (as the Luftwaffe discovered), it seems probable that the great majority of shoot-downs took place between 100 and 300m. This is often not appreciated by players of combat sims, who think that the ability to score routinely at ranges of 1,000m or more in their games reflects WW2 reality � it doesn't!
2. The way of calculating the chemical destructiveness is too crude. It is suggested that instead of just adding an arbitrary percentage to the kinetic destructiveness depending on the percentage weight of HE/I filling, an energy calculation should be produced. This would calculate the kinetic energy of the projectiles (in joules) at some typical combat range, then add to this a calculation of the chemical energy (also in joules) contained within the high explosive (if any).
There is a lot of merit in this suggestion, which is more scientific in its approach. However, there are some drawbacks also. First, there is the question of what constitutes a typical combat range. And whatever range was selected, the kinetic energy with which the projectiles struck the target would vary considerably depending on whether the engagement was a tail chase, a beam attack or a head-on attack.
Second, there is the comparison between the various HE and incendiary compounds used. Some of the information required as to their chemical energy is difficult to obtain, and in any case the filling of some shells varied through time, in ways which have not always been recorded.
The final response is the simplest: this approach, while affecting the relative scores of some of the projectiles, doesn't actually change the 'order of merit' very much. Basically, the lower-powered AP or small-HE-capacity cannon shells (which derive most of their effectiveness from kinetic energy) tend to show up as less effective than in Table 1, while the high capacity HE shells show up as being more effective. As these types were typically mixed in an ammunition belt, the net result is no significant change in the rankings.
Henning Ruch has done some calculations on the basis of the 'kinetic+chemical energy' equation and compared the results with those in Table 1. If the .50 Browning is taken as the baseline and given a score of 1.00, the following are some results for other rounds: As you will see, the 'total energy' calculation as much as doubles the performance of the high-capacity cannon shells, while almost halving the score of the AP projectiles.
3. The shorter flight time of the .50 bullets, plus the larger number fired for a given weight of armament, greatly improves the hit probability of this armament by comparison with the slower-firing cannon, making shoot-downs more likely.
The first part of this criticism is undoubtedly correct, but the second part does not follow. The relative lack of effectiveness of the .50 bullets mean that it is necessary (on average) to score many more hits to shoot down a plane than with cannon armament. These two factors probably more or less cancel each other out.
As has already been observed, hit probability is also affected by many other things apart from gun performance: the quality of the gunsights, the location of the guns, the stability of the aircraft as the gun platform, and above all, pilot skill. These cannot be taken into account in a study of this type � there are just too many variables.
4. That the calculations understate the effectiveness of cannon in general, and large-calibre cannon in particular. This is partly because while a machine gun bullet relying in kinetic energy has to hit something vital to have an effect (or score so many hits close together that it shreds the structure) - it otherwise just makes small holes - a single cannon strike anywhere on the aircraft can inflict significant damage. It is also argued that a hit by one large cannon shell is more effective than hits by several smaller shells generating the same total damage score, as these will be spread across the aircraft instead of being concentrated at one point.
These points are valid. However, it is also true that cannon shells did not always explode when they hit � the fuze could sometimes fail to function � in which case they were reliant solely on their kinetic damage. Again, it seems likely that this would more or less counteract the criticism.
In Conclusion, while it is admitted that some elements of the calculations � especially concerning the relative weighting given to kinetic and chemical damage � are open to criticism, in practical terms the results stand up quite well. Changing the method of calculation affects some scores but has surprisingly little effect on the overall 'order of merit' of the destructiveness rankings. Where it does have an effect, it is generally to boost the scores of high-capacity HE shells while reducing those of lower-velocity AP cannon shells, which is validated by the Luftwaffe's decision to focus on chemical rather than kinetic energy in developing their aircraft weapons.
To return to the obviously controversial question of the relatively poor performance of the .50 Browning: as has already been stated in this study, "the preferred US armament fit [of six or eight .50 HMGs] was effective for its purpose, but not very efficient by comparison with cannon". It is worth pointing out that for as long as the battery of .50s proved adequate against the targets usually encountered, there were strong arguments in favour of retaining the weapon, as the standardisation of production, supply, maintenance and training provided great logistic benefits by comparison with the plethora of different weapons fielded by the Germans and Japanese in particular. Of course, the USA did make some use of the 20mm Hispano cannon, but this was severely limited by production problems: that is another story, told elsewhere on this website!

This Airsprung memory foam mattress has a total depth of 22 cm.
An insulation pad prevents 'spring feel', and added relaxation comes from generous amounts of soft white polyester fillings.
But the real key to the comfort levels is the extra deep 50 mm of visco elastic (memory foam). This moulds to the unique contours of your body, offering extra support.
The mattress is finished with quality damask material on the borders, a knitted panel on the sleeping surface and a micro quilt 3 chevron pattern.
4 vents allows the mattress to 'breathe', and it's non-turn for easy maintenance.

2014 Subaru Impreza Summary
Changes for the 2014 Subaru Impreza:
For 2014, the Subaru Impreza's optional navigation system includes Aha smartphone integration technology and the Impreza Limited is equipped with a standard reversing camera.
Model Lineup:
Subaru sells the 2014 Impreza as a 4-door sedan or a 5-door hatchback. The performance tuned WRX and WRX STI variants are based on the previous-generation Impreza, and are covered in a separate summary. The 2014 Impreza Sedan is sold in 2.0i, 2.0i Premium, and 2.0i Limited trim levels. In addition to these models, the Impreza 5-door hatchback is offered in 2.0i Sport Premium and 2.0i Sport Limited trim.
Premium models add 16-inch aluminum wheels, a rear stabilizer bar, body-color exterior mirrors, cruise control, additional stereo speakers, and upgraded interior trim. The Sport Premium is further equipped with 17-inch aluminum wheels, fog lights, and unique seat fabric.
Limited and Sport Limited models add leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, an automatic climate control system, heated front seats, heated side mirrors, a wiper de-icer system, automatic headlights, a reversing camera, and an upgraded audio system with Bluetooth, HD Radio, a USB port, and more.
Engines and Transmissions:
All Imprezas have a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine making 148 horsepower. A 5-speed manual gearbox is included for 2.0i, 2.0i Premium, and 2.0i Sport Premium models. A Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) is optional for the 2.0i Premium and 2.0i Sport Premium models and standard for 2.0i Limited and 2.0i Sport Limited models. It includes a 6-speed manual mode, paddle shifters, and Incline Start Assist.
All-wheel drive is standard for all Imprezas. With a manual gearbox, the AWD system delivers power in a 50/50 split under normal driving conditions, and then varies power distribution as is necessary based on wheel slip. With the CVT, the AWD system is an Active Torque Split system that powers the front wheels, transferring it rearward when the front wheels slip.
Fuel Economy Ratings:
With the standard manual gearbox, the Impreza is rated to return 28 mpg in combined driving. Choose the CVT, and the Impreza delivers 30 mpg, according to the EPA.
Safety Ratings:
In crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the 2014 Impreza earned a "Top Safety Pick+" rating thanks to structural changes that help the compact car to earn a "Good" rating in the difficult new small overlap frontal-impact assessment.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration (NHTSA) gives the Impreza a 5-star rating for side-impact protection and for rollover resistance. The NHTSA does not assign the Impreza a frontal-impact or overall crash-test rating due to the changes Subaru has made to the vehicle's structure for 2014. Last year, the Impreza earned an overall rating of 5 stars, so the Impreza should repeat this performance for 2014.
Technology Highlights:
For 2014, the Impreza offers Aha smartphone integration, allowing vehicle owners to pair their phones and stream music, access Facebook and Twitter, choose from 40,000 worldwide radio stations, and more. The Impreza Limited models have a standard reversing camera this year.

Time to re-evaluate your server provider? It's time to give HP another look
By Don Randall, WW Marketing Manager, HP Technology Services
It's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And this is the time of year that you want to be in Seattle, where I live. – It's sunny, not raining, and the region is packed with things to do like taking part in outdoor experiences, or watching great sunsets, and many visitors are here to enjoy the uniqueness of the city in the shadow of Mount Rainier. Recently we had old friends come through town, and we had a chance to get reacquainted. In a way it was like we were the same as we were some time ago, but in many ways we'd changed and had a lot to catch up on.
There's an analogy here to the IT industry, particularly given the recent uncertainty created by IBM's decision to transition its X86 business to China pc manufacturer, Lenovo. In the services business especially, uncertainty is not good. Change and uncertainty can disrupt longstanding relationships, and since you've got to launch new products and systems, keep IT operations at peak efficiency, and move quickly on innovations, you may be looking into other IT partners.
I'd say HP deserves another look.
You may have known HP before, but as with my old friend who had quit smoking and lost 15 pounds since we last got together, some things may have changed for the better. HP is one of few in the IT industry that has been delivering datacenter services for decades, building expertise and capabilities that qualify our claim of being a top tier IT partner. You're going to need both stability and innovation from a partner. You can't push forward with new solutions without a reliable support team-mate who's got your back, who can help you navigate the challenging road forward, through potholes and dead ends, and help you stay on track on the way. In addition, you'll want and need innovation in products, solutions and in services so that you can be the one to leapfrog ahead of your competition -- instead of watching others leapfrog you.
It's tough to do.
HP qualifies in both respects. We work with the world's leading enterprises every day with expertise they can count on, and as their one accountable partner for support. And HP, long known to be a leader in IT innovation, is bringing more groundbreaking products, services and software to market. We're launching more innovative solutions today than in any other time in our history. New solutions such as Converged Systems, new technology such as Apollo, and innovative services such as Flexible Capacity.
Is your server vendor exiting the market? Then it's time to re-evaluate.
We're qualified and ready to help and I would encourage you to get to know us again. Start by watching this short video, or by visiting www.hp.com/go/smartchoice . Then, get in touch with your HP team and ask them how you can make the Smart Choice when it comes to choosing a new partner.

LOS ANGELES — According to Controller Wendy Greuel's analysis of a 2002 contract Los Angeles held with CBS Decaux, the city moved slowly on permitting street furniture, which decreased the ad revenue the city could earn, dailybreeze.com reported. As part of the contract agreement, CBS Decaux would install street furniture, including public toilets, transit shelters, newsstands, and public amenity pillars and kiosks containing 3,430 advertising panels. However, the company is hesitant to install the remaining panels because of the initial permitting delays. For the full story, click here.

Application forms and documents |
Attached is the relevant information and criteria requirements for persons seeking to obtain a underground mine or quarry manager's certificate in SA, including; Application form
Information for second class quarry manager certificates
The Handbook on Quarrying can be purchased for $35 from the Resource Information Centre: phone +61 8 8463 3000 |
The Chief Inspector of Mines from the Department of State Development (DSD) has the responsibility for assessing applications for underground mine and quarry manager's certificates, under the provisions of the recently amended Mines and Works Inspection Regulations dated 30 October 2014.
All applicants require a minimum 3 (three) years relevant underground (for underground mines) or quarrying (for above ground quarries) experience to apply for a certificate, with at least 1 (one) years worth of relevant 'hands on' experience out of the total three years required. An applicant must also be at least 25 years of age.
Any mining or quarrying operation that employs 20 or more persons will require a Manager to hold a First Class certificate. A degree or diploma in mining engineering or equivalent is required for First Class certificates (refer to the Regulations and Guidelines). A mining law examination is also required to be passed.
Applicants who do not have the relevant degree or diploma may be eligible to apply for a second class certificate which will only allow for the management of operations where up to 19 persons are employed (refer to the Regulations and Guidelines).
There are four examinations required to be passed to obtain a second class quarry manager's certificate (Quarrying, Explosives, Quarry Machinery and Mathematics). For information regarding the content of these examinations please refer to Appendix 1 below. There is also a Handbook on Quarrying available to purchase that may be of assistance (see below for information).
A mining law examination is also required to be passed after the four examinations above have been successfully passed.
There is provision for restricted certificates, however a covering letter from your employer explaining why a restriction is sought will be required. A mining law examination is also required to be passed.
Applicants who apply for a certificate must ensure that all required information is included in the application as per the Application Checklist. Not submitting all required information in the application to the Chief Inspector of Mines' satisfaction can result in unneccessary delays as the applicant may be required to provide further information or clarification before a decision can be made.
Once an application has been assessed by the Chief Inspector of Mines, you will be advised in writing of the outcome as to whether your application has been approved or not and/or if further information or clarification is required. If an application is approved, the next stage is to pass a mining law examination. You will be provided with some information and legislation for this examination.

This is my first post, so please forgive me if it's in the wrong place. I have aimed a single LNB dish and a Hughes 2-way satellite dish numerous times and Azimuth, Skew, and Elevation and a plumb mounting pole are familiar to me. I have DirecTV HDTV dish and hr22-100 receiver. The dish is a slimline and I think it has 5 LNBs. Anyway, I moved my dish and want to get it pointed. On the setup screen, I found 99 (KA), 101 (KU), 110 (KU), 119 (KU) and 103 (?). Each of these birds has a lot of transponders and I am wondering if there just one I need to peak I know this question has been asked before, so I'll guess all I need is a link to find the answer. Also, the mast that I planted in the ground is about 1/16-inch too skinny and I can't tighten up the mounting collar. Any tricks? Thanks.
Welcome to SatelliteGuys! You might try duct tape for a temporary solution to the mast size, peak to 101 first, then take slow and very gradual steps to get 110 and 119 with 99 and 103 being the hardest to get in... I'm on the wrong computer or I could point you towards some videos that would help you a lot.
Try a piece of PVC - use it as a sleeve (attach it to your pole with sheet metal screws). Preset the EL & tilt to whatever your zip code calls for. Focus on the 101 bird first. Adjust the AZ & EL only to nail the center of the peak on 101. Lock down the AZ & EL. Switch to the 119 bird and adjust the tilt ONLY to center of the peak. Lock down the tilt. Double check the 101 (fine tune only). That's it! The others simply fall into place.
straight south. as far as tilt and elevations.. you can find out what it is on D* by selecting DISH POINTING and type in zip code and it will tell you all that. for example.. im in SD and mine is 181 azimuth, 40 elevation, 89 tilt.
Okay, I wrapped duct tape around the mast. Az is 139, El 47, Tilt 112. El & Tilt were alaready set. Using a compass, I aimed the dish at 139. I then went to menu>Parental, Fav's & Setup>system setup>Satellite>view signal strength>signal meters. Then I aimed the dish at 139 and set the "test Signal Strength" page to satellite 101, transponder 1. I scanned back and forth and between each scan, cranked on the elevation bolt a bit. After several tries, it was getting late, so I decided to let it rest until tomorrow. but noticed that 110 is acquired with high 90 signal strength on transponder 8 and in the mid 70's on 10 and 12 . Anyway, 101 has lots of transponders on it. Which one do I choose? Similar question for the other birds.
Since you are in SOCAL - use TP 18 on 101 and 28 on 119 - they are both VERY strong TP's (I install D & E in San Diego). Excellent TP's for you to use anywhere south of the grapevine if you are doing this without a really good meter. Make sure you follow the "nail" 101 bird mentioned above (with a dead level mast top) then tilt only for 119 & fine tune on 101. If you do - strong sigs and virtually no rain-fade in our area (all bets off if El Nino visits us ). Not a fan of the duct tape solution for long term, prefer the PVC sleeve since it doesn't slip or react to the weather - but it's your dish. Make sure you use monopoles for the Santa Anna's.
I don't like the duct tape idea as it seems to be too sloppy. Perhaps the hunk of water pipe that I found in a bone pile behind our Resort shop is just a freak, but it is 3/32nds smaller than needed by the dish's 2 " mounting collar. Slipping a PVC sleeve over it isn't possible. Perhaps replacing the metal pipe with a hunk of PVC would work. I'll have to check that out tomorrow in the daylight (it's dark out right now). Question: If I can find a hunk of PVC that has the right O.D. and bury it in the ground about 18-inches, is that solid enough? What do you guys think? Any other ideas on how to make this too small pipe bigger and not sloppy? I'm trying to avoid using the supplied bracket as it takes up too much space.
I have had Direct TV for 20 plus years, I was an early adopter when the 18" dish was RCA and I have moved it about 11 years ago to a new current location. It still works fine with my Low Definition Receivers. I have added and changed receivers twice (I have 3) and now one of them is starting to act squirley. So I went out and bought a HD Receiver from Best Buy, but I do not want HD TV yet. I just thought I would buy a HD receiver because in the future I may want HD, but not now. I bought a new "DIRECTV MULTI-SATELLITE kA/kU LNB" dish and Now I need to Aim it properly. Although I installed the Single LNB Dish I am not sure of what procedures to do next. I cannot find the Dish I have listed in the list on the receiver and I am not sure which 101o Satellite to aim at. My Model No is 151647 Lot 0208 for my dish. The satellite pointer using 101.1W Dir TV 4s 9s Suggest the following: Elevation 44, AZ True 196.5 Mag 197.0, and Skew 12.8. Are these the correct settings, am I looking at the right satellite? Another question, Can I make sure the Satellite dish is tuned before activating the card with Direct TV. I want to make sure everything works before activation, in case I have to take the receiver back to Best Buy. I know I am probably qualified to receive new Dish, Receiver etc from Direct TV, But I wanted to do this myself and do not want to change any plan I currently have. A lot of information but I hope someone can help, Thank You.
really? you must of been some sort of beta tester as I thought there service was launched in 94 as far as shimming your mast aluminum flashing material wrapped around the mast will work fine, pvc pipe would not be a good replacement for your steel mast.
yOU GOT ME Sorry about that, I looked up my invoice and it was dated 4/17/1994 Seemed like more than 20 years, I guess it is the aging process. Thanks
boy you do sound like a fed up installer, I did cable installs in the early 80's and it was a tough racket. had to bust ass to make any money.
Haven't had to aim my dish for about a year, but I am traveling now and aimed my dish today. I am wondering what the process is now that the 119 bird doesn't seem to be available to me here on the Oregon Coast. Looks like 99 and 103 need my attention. I am recalling from memory of how I aimed the dish today that There's a 99 "s" and "ca". as well as a 103 "s" and "ca". I am wondering what the "by the numbers" procedure is now. Any advice?
Depends what dish your using now. If your using a Slimline (needed if HD is needed) level mast, set Tilt and Elevation, move for azimuth slowly, peak the 101, dither to fine tune the 99 and 103.
How do I aim my DirecTV Slimline dish Okay. I did peak the 101, then moved to 99 (ca) and 103 (ca) and peaked those signals. Ignored 99 (s) and 103 (s). Please excuse me if my memory on this isn't correct. I don't want to go back to the aiming process for fear I'll screw something up. One note: I tried using one of those Radio Shack screamers to find the satellite and it was problematic. Ended up having my wife doing the screaming into a personal communicator. Worked well, however, if she's not around, I'm out of business.

A Cure For Digital Myopia
my·o·pi·a /mīˈōpēə/
- Nearsightedness
- Lack of imagination, foresight, or intellectual insight.
Last week I was in Cannes and noticed a stark contrast between those who were immerse in the broader marketing picture, and those that were looking through a digital pinhole at the event and trying to bring digital to the forefront. I call this latter group the Digital Myopics. Do you or someone you work with suffer from Digital Myopia? That undying belief that digital is the only future that matters, and all other vehicles for marketing, content, or communication are backwards and antiquated? As a 20 year veteran of digital marketing and media (my first marketing project was in 1994 after the advent of the first Mozilla browser), I am a big believer that digital has opened up the marketing world to possibilities never considered in a linear TV or print environment. So I too at times have suffered the symptoms of Digital Myopia. You can spot the digital myopic because they:
- Believe that everything is measurable and that targeting discrete individuals is the best way to market. The digital myopic is hooked on Big Data to create micro-segments, and believes every marketing problem can be solved by algorithm. Belief in the power of digital is based on this tenet. But talk to a CMO of a major brand, and they'll tell you that TV and print still drives sales and brand lift through creative expression that digital myopics don't see, and targeting the 33 in-market truck buyers in zip code 55408 is a very challenging that doesn't pay off productively. Plus 90% of all products are still sold through physical stores, which means in-store display, end caps and shelf space still count.
- Can be myopic even within their digital silo. Social media wonks believe everyone wants to "have a relationship with the brand." Online video mavens believe that display is dead. Display advocates think search is a lower-funnel follow-on to the great banner campaign they are running. And of course, mobile is the new black so everyone wants to build an app. But many of these folks start with mastering the end game, not thinking about the consumer's perspective.
- Assume that people seek out content on predefined, very narrowly defined interests. The digital world is truly interconnected, interlocked, and interpersonal. It allows disparate items – ads, articles, and social experiments – to converge on one page as if they were magic. Yet the Super Bowl and sporting events remain powerful "tent pole" events with high production value, and shows like "The Voice" are able to attract a live audience for some period of time. People still like the passive entertainment experience, which gives broadcast and cable networks (and Netflix NFLX +1.36%, Amazon and Hulu) new oxygen to breathe as people binge on linear programming.
- Have limited interest in the core principles of marketing. Digital myopics are not brand experts. Brands don't love static banners and simple text ads. Digital myopics see the world as brand advertising or direct response. But in reality these approaches need to live complementary lives that support each other to master the overall marketing mix in order to fully engage the consumer in today's fragmented media universe.
- Work for a digital media vendor, either in marketing, sales, or executive management. Let's face it, to succeed in the digital world over the past 15 years required intense, intelligent evangelism in order to move budgets. These firms have driven the massive growth of this market (Forrester forecasts digital marketing spend to reach $76 billion in the US in 2017, equivalent to the size of the TV business in 2012). This unique case of digital myopia creates a confusing array of digital competitors, few of whom can actually deliver the results a CMO needs to succeed, and in some cases make the symptoms contagious.
Unlike most Pharma ads, I will not go through a litany of side effects that result from trying to cure you or members of your team from this disease. But the disease is real, and it is an evangelical virus that permeates the minds and the strategy of marketing technology vendors, digital media sellers, online shopping startups, and assumptive heirs-apparent to the CMO spot.

Systems officials map out their procedures for change in the alternative minimum tax
IRS Oversight Board fears tax processing delays
White House plans to knock out tax-relief extension
The Internal Revenue Service has begun printing its 1040 form and instructions for taxpayers to file their 2007 tax returns, despite uncertainty about changes to the alternative minimum tax and calculations for 11 related tax credits.We were able to very cleverly make this form and instructions work, no matter what happens, said Bob Erickson, senior technical adviser for tax forms and publications at the IRS. The IRS is preparing several versions of 1040 forms to be ready to accommodate whatever measure Congress passes, and it plans to be on time with the forms by the end of the year, Erickson said. However, he added, that does not mean well be on time with our programming. Mary Mosquera

For those who brave the harsh seas of Runeterra, attaining one's own ship and crew is the pinnacle of success. Sarah Fortune, a well-respected (some would say legendary) bounty hunter from Bilgewater, was able to achieve this feat just after her sixteenth birthday, etching out her name as the go-to gal for resolving special troubles. No bounty was too difficult or too dangerous for her feminine charm and her renowned use of her twin pistols, "Shock and Awe". Her success gave her the means to legitimately purchase her own ship - with a little flirtatious haggling, of course. Things weren't always so fortunate for Miss Fortune, though. When she was young, trade ships began to dot the horizon of her quiet home along the northern shores of Blue Flame Island's largest chunk. Trade routes brought piracy, and the inhabitants soon found themselves caught in a frenzy of pillage.
One day, young Sarah returned home to hear gunshots and screaming. Her front door was smashed open; inside, she saw her mother lying in a pool of blood. A sudden blow to her head made her collapse next to her slain mother. The last thing she could remember were her attacker's red eyes, as his face was blocked by a rogue's bandanna. Miss Fortune has a strong distrust for pirates and she finds herself constantly bickering with the infamous Gangplank (the only captain to resist her charms) over the direction of Bilgewater politics. Her two goals: to unite the people of Bilgewater, making them into a strong and independent society, and to find the pirate who killed her mother. To that end, she has entered the League of Legends as a champion, trading her skills for the wealth and influence that will help her accomplish both.
"More men have voluntarily surrendered to the care of Miss Fortune than any other bounty hunter." ― Grinnick Torip, Bilgewater Bonds

Fiora obviously needs to be top or mid. Jungle Fiora is so stupid thematically, which appears to be the ONLY reason they're changing her, for her theme. Not that jungle Fiora doesn't work, it does, I just wish it didn't. And again first someone compared the end of Fiora now to life ending, then someone compared it to the end of LoL completely. Really guys? I see no reason in playing her now that I know her current kit is a lie and will be gone in a few months. A few months is NO way comparable to years until I die or years until this game finally ends. I'd rather not put on my nostalgia glasses early. You guys wanna scrap her entirely, screw it, now she's nonexistent.
WoW Guinsoo you are a legend in LoL. Good luck with Fiora, maybe you can make she become a tier 1 champion o/
Super Explosion
The King K Rool
He is going to ruin Fiora. She is going to be destroyed and wrecked in team fights. She is not going to have a way out like Yi, or Yasuo. Fiora needs SOME teamfight potential and all this is doing is single target ONLY. Fiora was mainly single target with an ult that did teamfight damage. Now she has nothing. She will be terrible in teamfights now, and this rework is un-needed. JUST REWORK HER PASSIVE AND FIX HER W. That it. That's all she needs. FIX HER PASSIVE. Fix HER W. And if not, If this rework goes through its a change of the champion I bought, and should be refunded the Rp and EVERY SKIN (I have them all for fiora) should also be refunded. You are making Fiora a terrible new champ. If this moron is trying to change an already amazing (enough) champion, Riot should compensate for the people who payed to play the real Fiora.

LONDON — A BBC broadcaster has pleaded not guilty to charges of sexually abusing three girls.
The charges against the well-known 82-year-old sports broadcaster Stuart Hall relate to events alleged to have occurred in the 1970s and 1980s.

He has been a broadcaster for more than 50 years.

Quirky hotel, with good variety of breakfast items and a lovely view of Gothenburg.
We stayed at the Barken for one night and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and comfort. The hotel is located conveniently to all shops etc. The price was very reasonable especially for Gothenburg and we will not stay anywhere else in future when we visit.
Modern hotel, described as a hostel but the rooms are as you'd expect from a budget chain hotel (bunk beds). Fantastic central location in the main shopping area, just behind the Radisson Blu. Friendly staff. Very cheap for Gothenburg - especially for the quality. Parking next door is discounted when booked in advance. Room for 4 people was large enough for a budget hotel.
We were looking to connect with the stories my wife had heard from her Grandmother, who had emigrated to America from Gothenburg in the 19th Century. Although the hotel has had upgrades, it retained the charm and feel of that Era. Room was large. The location was very convenient for rail and public transportation.
Second time at this Hotel and it's still FIRST CLASS wouldn't stay anywhere else in Gothenburg.
In the middle of Gothenburg's stopping centre. In the morning noise from trucks (un)loading. No elevator, therefore not suitable for people with a bad leg. Entrance of the hotel not very welcoming (closer gate, door full with posters), but the staff is!

Boat sales mixed in June
When boat sales rebounded in May, some industry observers hoped it was a sign of a late-blooming spring selling season that would extend into early summer. From that perspective, the mixed June results that Statistical Surveys reported today were disappointing. Sales in the main powerboat segments rose a modest 1.8 percent, or 173 boats, to…more
