If I was in public school up until my...
junior year, would it be silly to switch to homeschooling? I feel I would get a better education learning by myself in an online academy but I am worried about college. I am also worried that maybe I should just stick it out. I don't know what to do. Anyone else that was in my situation?

I wanted to add it, and sign about the progress, but during unpack, and data preprocess I can not, because 1st page contains the code, and 1st part of packed data, 2nd page contains the 2nd part of packed data, 3rd page is untouched, but I need CPC system variables, and 4th page is fully used for unpacking.I wanted to use 3rd page from 8000h-9fffh for print, but i forgot that CPC video addressing is not linear, so the 1st character row would overwrite CPC system data The name of the song or/and a picture can be displayed after data preprocessing.
It's easier to dev for 128KB CPC (8 pages)
I found a smaller error in SIDB9, volume values were adjusted twice for Sawtooth, Triangle, and noise, it has been corrected.
Got no sound with SIDB9 (but nice border-raster )
The previous version of SIDB9 had sound? I have sound with ep128emu, but i do not have normal sound on WInCPC with any versions. Which emulator do you use, or did anybody tried it on real machine?
I tryed it on MiST-board FPGA and on WinAPE emulator. I'll retry on them this evening.
And only SIDB9 had problems? I will have to look into AY write.
The problem is the register selection in your code.In one place you are sending 88 in another 89.The upper 4 bits must be 0. See this document:http://www.ym2149.com/ay8910.pdf"high order chip select"."Unless otherwise specified, address bits DA7-DA4 are programmed to recognise only a 0000 code".ep128emu seems to be wrong here.
AY register selection has been corrected, playback did not changed, sample rate remained 7299 Hz, only providing data for playback loop became 8 T-state slower. I tested it on Winape, and WinCPC also, it seems we can forget SIDB and SIDB3, because the quality in these 2 emulators is very poor, probably on real machine also. SIDB8 and SIDB9 was ok.
@Geco:I can't run it from drive B. My drive B is gotek and my drive A is not connected at the moment.The best way to do this is to use BASIC to load the file and then it will use the drive that the basic program was run from.
@Geco: Is the sid player designed for CPC speaker or CPC stereo output?
Tests on MiST-board: sidb is degraded but good on its way (can be interesting for sound designers). Got bad cristal noise on sidb3. sidb8 is really cool, sidb9 works fine (more agressive: cool also)
Do you mean the program should be loaded by a basic loader?
If yes, I have to make small modification, as i see it can not be loaded to &80 from basic.
It designed to sounds somehow 3 SID channels are written to 3 AY volume registers, so it becomes stereo.
When using basic you can load to &384 (this is lowest), but it's fine to load and relocate to &80.When loading from basic you do not need to initialise any roms. It is done for you.
Last Ninja with SIDB8 sounds soooo good!!! Well done buddy
Cool I thought that SIDB9 is better, on EP128emu i heard it better , and I tried to compensate non linear AY volumes in SIDB9.
Have you lowered twice the CPC channel B volume ?SID has 3 channels (ABC) and is done for mono sound, and CPC Yamaha has 3 channels (AB) + (BC)
No I thought the difference is only is 2/3 1 2/3, but if i do it, it cause a bit worse quality, because the digi loop slows down by 28 T-States, I think I will try to create a SIDB10 with lowered B channel.
In fact it depends : using headphones or not. So you can choice between half and full for channel B. I'm not really expert but I don't think half is really the best choice, perhaps has to try several ratio : 50% 66.6% 75% 83.3% 100%

Working out of a oneman workshop in Woodstock, New York, Harvey Citron has been a respected member of the boutique luthier community for close to 40 years. Though best known for his hollowbody basses, Citron's distinctively handcrafted instruments include solidbody basses, as well as a variety of guitars and baritones that have drawn the attention of artists across the genre spectrum, from Steve Swallow to John Sebastian to Doug Wimbish, among others.
With a background as both a guitarist and an architect, Citron is able to draw on his passion for both music and design when creating his absolutely unique offering of instruments. Aesthetically unique, yes. But he is also part of a very small group of guitar craftsmen with expertise in making their own pickups, and he winds, voices, and positions each one to complement the individual instrument. A true innovator, Citron's distinctive, piezo-loaded and intonation-adjustable wooden bridge defines the combination of science and art.
Citron got his start as a luthier in 1974. Co-founding a partnership with Joe Veillette the following year, Veillette-Citron had an eight-year run during which a few hundred handcrafted guitars were produced. But eventually, Citron felt like a factory worker in his own business, putting in too many hours just to pay the bills. A desire to return to designing his instruments led him to set up shop as an independent luthier.
Premier Guitar recently caught up with Citron as he prepared to exhibit at the 2012 Montreal Guitar Show. Here he discusses his background and building philosophies, gives insights into modern lutherie trends, and even shares his thoughts on building a traditional acoustic guitar.
As a working musician and
former architect, which of the
two was the biggest inspiration
for your getting into
building guitars?
It's actually very hard to separate the two. I grew up being interested in tools, working with my hands, building things since I was very little, playing guitar by age 11, and loving music completely. I attended Brooklyn Technical High School where I studied drafting and engineering, and then studied architectural design at City College School of Architecture. I was incredibly frustrated as I started out working as an architect, since I was not really doing anything more than producing working drawings of others' designs. I was very young, but had a fire burning inside to create. I was creating through my music—and my furniture and interior design—but not through my job. Then the opportunity came to build a guitar. Because of all my years drafting and studying design, I knew I could look at a guitar, understand how it was built, and could actually build it! I could explore to my heart's content. So what better avenue for a musician and a designer? I was able to meld these two areas of creativity that I loved.
Built for renowned jazz bassist Steve Swallow, Harvey Citron's AE5 Swallow bass is an acoustic/electric 5-string with a 36" scale length using Honduras mahogany for the body and neck, spruce for the top, and rosewood for the fretboard and bridge.
Which has had the biggest
influence on your work?
Again, it's very hard to say which has been the larger influence. As a designer, I have always been seeking out what hasn't been done yet, or to solve a problem. Each of my instrument models sets about creating something new sonically and/ or physically—they are not just pretty boutique instruments. Because I am a designer, I can play with woods, construction, electronics, and shapes. Because I am a musician, I can use those elements to explore new tone.
What were your formative
influences insofar as guitarists,
bands, and instruments?
I started playing guitar in the 1950s at a very early age and was listening to people like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry. But I only had an acoustic guitar at the time. We were poor and my mom bought the cheapest Martin you could buy—a 00-17 with a mahogany top and no binding. I did everything with that guitar and amplified it with a DeArmond pickup and an Ampeg Rocket amplifier. Even later on, I was using that same guitar for soul music. Developing my own style back then, I was pretty much a rhythm guitar player for a long time, but later on became a lead player, too.
Eventually you began building
basses as well. Was your
attraction to the rhythm side
of playing part of the reason
for that?
I just love instruments and playing. Building basses for me was always part of the deal from the beginning somehow. Veillette-Citron's first prototypes were a 6-string neckthrough electric guitar and 4-string neck-through electric bass. Our first batch of instruments was also mixed, and I'm sure we built more basses than guitars over the years our company existed from 1975 to 1983. With the exception of Alembic, bass design had not really been explored that extensively in the mid-'70s. While in process of building our first two prototypes in 1974, I visited the Alembic woodworking shop in Cotati, California. It was a mind blower. I was enamored of their work, and followed their lead somewhat in construction at Veillette-Citron. I have always noticed that bassists are a little more open to new sounds, and are already hi-fidelity minded. So many guitarists are looking for the sound that a hero of theirs made some time ago, and they are under the illusion that it if they have the same equipment, they can recreate that tone. I never had the desire to build what has been made before. It also seemed like there were more orders for basses.
Citron's intonation-adjustable rosewood bridge on the AE4 Swallow features bone saddles and six EMG under-saddle piezos.
Why is that?
It's always been my impression that there are far fewer bassists than guitarists. Therefore, the chances of a bassist working are much higher than that of a guitarist. And the quality of the bassist doesn't even have to be as good necessarily, because you need them and there aren't that many around. [Laughs.]
Can you tell us about your
pickups and how you got
started making them? Was
it a matter of wanting to be
involved in all components
of building? Was it out of
necessity or just an interest in
Pickup making and guitar making came about simultaneously for me. I knew some pretty serious players in the guitar electronics field way back, found out how to wire a guitar, and then how to build pickups. It was very exciting to build a pickup. The person who taught me how to build them was Sal Palazolla, who worked with Bill Lawrence making pickups downstairs in Danny Armstrong's shop on LaGuardia Place in New York City. This was in 1974. The first guitar I built had some pretty strange pickups, and people started asking me to modify their guitars with my pickups and different switching arrangements. Veillette-Citron started building prototypes in late 1975 and those instruments included my humbucking pickups. We liked the idea of having a part in virtually every piece of the instrument, from making our own pickups to the bridge hardware and strap pins. Though when I started Citron Guitars and Basses in 1994, I had no desire to build my own pickups, except for one very unique single-coil that I began to make for some models. As time went on, I felt that my pickups would make my instruments more unique, so I currently build several kinds of single-coil guitar pickups, guitar humbuckers, bass humbuckers, and J-bass-style pickups. They are extremely popular and are, in fact, used in other luthier's instruments.

Patrick Joseph Murphy on Civil Rights
Proponents support voting YES because:
Rep. CASTOR: The march towards equality under the law for all of our citizens has sometimes been slow, but it has been steady. Over time, Congress has outlawed discrimination in the workplace, based upon a person's race, gender, age, national origin, religion and disability, because when it comes to employment, these decisions are rightly based upon a person's qualifications and job performance. This legislation that outlaws job discrimination based upon sexual orientation was first introduced over 30 years ago. A broad coalition of businesses and community organizations strongly support this landmark civil rights legislation, including the Human Rights Campaign; the Anti-Defamation League; and the NAACP.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Rep. HASTINGS: Federal law bans job discrimination based on race, color, national origin, or gender. In addition, 19 States have passed laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. I strongly oppose discrimination in the workplace. However, I do not think it is the place of the Federal Government to legislate how each and every workplace operates. A number of States have enacted State laws in this area. That is their right. Many businesses have chosen to adopt their own policies. That is appropriate as well. This bill as written would expand Federal law into a realm where PERCEPTION would be a measure under discrimination law [which I consider inappropriate].
Prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity by covered entities (employers, employment agencies, labor organizations, or joint labor-management committees). Prohibits preferential treatment or quotas. Allows only disparate treatment claims. Prohibits related retaliation.

John Couric: Father to late legislator Emily has died at 90
The father of late legislator Emily Couric has died at the age of 90 in a Washington, D.C.-area hospital, the Washington Post reports. John Couric was a frequent presence in Charlottesville, with visits including the 2008 groundbreaking and the 2011 dedication of the UVA cancer center dedicated to the memory of his daughter who served Charlottesville in the State Senate before losing her battle to pancreatic cancer in 2001. John Couric is survived by his wife Elinor and three children, John Couric Jr., Katie Couric, and Clara Batchelor.Read more on: emily couric

emily couric passed away due to colon cancer. i know. she was my neighbor growing up
Sorry to disagree neighbor, but I believe Emily had pancreatic cancer and Katie's husband passed away from colon cancer in his 40's
Actually, Emily Couric did die from pancreatic cancer in 2001. Katie Couric's husband, Jay Monahan, died from colon cancer. The Couric family certainly knows the heartache of this dreaded diagnosis. Praying this new center will result in far more cures than deaths in the coming years.

To start with we have forked https://github.com/biopython/biopython as https://github.com/huttonics/biopython which we'll use as a read-only mirror - but now we want to keep it up to date with commits pushed to the upstream repository.
How can we automatically mirror the upstream repository? Enter GitHub Deploy Keys, which we can use to grant read/write access on a repository basis - which a cron job can use to push changes to our mirrored git repository.
My plan requires an online server where we can setup a cron job which will essentially run:
$ git pull --ff-only origin master
(Update: Original version did not push new tags to the mirror)
This assumes you've left the default remote branch (origin) as the upstream repository you want to pull from, and added mirror as the downstream mirror you want to push to. In this example, I did:
Given we're mirroring a public open source project, the fetch doesn't need any special permissions. However, we do need write access to write to our mirror machine. You could do this with a pass-phrase-less personal SSH key associated with your user's account - or a GitHub account setup just for the script, but a GitHub Deployment Key seems the best option.
So, we'll make a new pass-phrase-less RSA SSH key just for this mirroring task:
Then go into the GitHub settings for the mirror repository, and add this deployment key (copy and paste the biopython_key.pub file contents):
If this was a personal account, you could configure which SSH key to use with GitHub via your ~/.ssh/config file, but to do this at the command line seems easiest via the $GIT_SSH environment variable which points at the binary or shell script to use in place of the default ssh command. So we have a simple shell script named mirror_ssh,
ssh -i /path/to/deploy_key -F /dev/null -p 22 $*
The basic task script becomes:
$ git checkout master
$ git pull --ff-only origin master
I wanted to be able to extend this to mirroring multiple repositories, each of which could (and perhaps should) have their own unique GitHub Deploy Key. I'll setup up local git repositories and keys for each, and do the sync via a master script mirror_git (see mirror_git gist) taking the git folder and deploy key file path as arguments:
Then I add multiple calls to mirror_git to cron, one for each repository, e.g.
As written mirror_git takes two arguments, the directory name where the temporary git repository is, and the location of the (private) SSH key used to push to the mirror repository, and does some minimal sanity checking before pulling and pushing to GitHub.
These cron-jobs are running on an existing server under a non-user account (without any admin privileges).
Update (20 May 2016)
In testing when there were no new commits, everything looked fine - the deploy key seemed to be working. But now there are some upstream changes, as shown by a dry-run:
However actually pushing the changes gives a novel git failure I've not seen before:
error: failed to push some refs to 'firstname.lastname@example.com:HuttonICS/biopython.git'
Adding --verbose didn't reveal any clues. Adding using ssh -v in the wrapper script confirmed the deploy key was accepted, and that some data was sent.
If we deliberately don't use the deploy key, even the dry-run will fail:
GitHub seemed to be working (pushing to other repositories as myself worked, and there were no problems reported on the GitHub Status page)
Update (23 May 2016)
Update (23 May 2016)
GitHub replied that this does look like a problem at their end, and they are looking into it.
Update (1 June 2016)
GitHub confirmed yesterday that this was due to their protected branch settings, and have updated their system to give a much more useful error message:
The master branch on the mirror repository was protected (to prevent force-pushes etc), but also "Restrict who can push to this branch" was ticked (I wanted to avoid any accidental updates) which had the perhaps unexpected side effect of preventing use of a Deploy Key. Unpicking this has fixed my automated deployment.
Update (12 July 2016)
Update (9 October 2017)Added --tags argument to the push command.
Update (2 February 2018)Added --tags argument to the fetch command (in case any tags were changed).
Update (17 August 2018)
I've posted the mirror_setup script I used to simplify adding more repositories to the collection we mirror under HuttonICS:

Ace acquires Chubb for $29.5 billion. Aetna proposes to buy Humana for $37 billion. There's no doubt that eye-popping M&As in the insurance industry are grabbing headlines. But no matter the size of the deal, getting customer integration right is key to optimizing value. It's not as easy as it sounds . . .
The past few years has seen a feeding frenzy of large-scale mergers and acquisitions in the insurance industry. In 2014, nine transactions valued at $1 billion or more went into the books. That number shot up to 24 last year, with the proposed Anthem buyout of Cigna busting the charts at a whopping $48.4 billion. (The deal is still under review by the federal government.)
No matter the size of the deal, the potential rewards of M&As in insurance are almost too good to pass up. Shareholders stand to gain and the acquiring company benefits through improved synergies such as cost savings, operational efficiencies, and an expanded customer base. The risks are essentially the same as well, although when it comes to billion dollar deals, attention on the value gets vastly magnified. Fall short of all those billions and the shareholder price can take a hit and heads can roll.
When a deal falls short of value, the reasons can be traced to a number of areas. There may have been overstated values that led to incorrect price adjustments, for instance. Post-merger disputes and failure to find cost savings can also cause trouble. But the most important area any company should be aware of—and one that's easy to get wrong because it's seems so deceptively simple—is in customer integration. Companies that assume they can simply combine customer bases without due diligence risk coming up short of value.
The following four situations are the primary risks associated with customer integration in an insurance M&A.
Assuming One Customer Plus One Customer Equals Two Customers
As logical as this "customer math" may seem to be, it just doesn't add up. Combining customers into a single base can in fact overexpose the merged company to greater risk. One example might be a customer who purchases general liability insurance from the acquirer, and excess general liability from the seller. In that case, either the acquirer or seller might want to stop writing one of those layers or the customer can buy his or her additional insurance from another carrier. Another is doing too much business with a single customer, also known as accumulated counterparty exposure.
There's also the real possibility of losing customers after the merger for myriad reasons, including reduced customer service, poor perception of the merged company's brand, or dissatisfaction with claims handling.
Too Many Agents Servicing Too Few Customers
This risk typically occurs when a customer has purchased property insurance from one agent or broker, and liability insurance from another. Following the merger, the customer should only have to purchase insurance from, and be serviced by, one broker or agent for both convenience and to improve synergy for the insurer.
Missing the Opportunity to Sell to Newly Acquired Customers
The new customer base can be a veritable goldmine for service agents—if they have a complete view of those customers and their needs. In that case, agents can "round" an account by adding auto coverage to a policy holder's home insurance, for instance, or "up sell," by increasing coverage limits or adding business interruption coverage.
Failure to Effectively Integrate Customer Data
This may be the most prevalent—and elusive—customer-related post-merger risk. Both the acquirer and seller can be at fault. Causes may be a lack of cohesive architecture, governance structure or an effective process for the integration. Whatever the cause, this missing element deprives the companies of insight and the ability to use all sources of data strategically to support decision-making.
Optimizing the Opportunities
Most M&A transactions are time sensitive. They move forward with urgency to cut off the possibility of negative impact from internal or external factors outside the control of buyer or seller. Closing quickly can also lower the overhead cost of the transaction. As a consequence, deals may be rushed through the M&A lifecycle with proper due diligence falling through the cracks.
Smart companies will enter into an M&A with eyes wide open by conducting as much customer-related planning, due diligence, and pre-integration activity as early and thoroughly as possible. Early in the planning phase, they'll ask questions such as What is the customer management strategy of the target company? Who are the most profitable customers? What accounts are likely to follow brokers and agents if they leave? Conducting a baseline customer survey can help answer those questions, and align the integration plan to fulfill customer expectations.
Whether a proposed deal grabs headlines for its billion dollar values or is more modest, addressing the customer experience early on helps ensure opportunities are not overlooked, the customer is front and center, and money is not left on the table.

|Knowledge leads to understanding. Understanding leads to imagination.
What's New? FOR SALE page Copyright Notice
My interests include electric guitar, playing live music, writing MIDI sequences, programming in Visual Basic, dabbling in electronics, with a casual interest in popular science. I learned my craft with curiosity, trial and error in times before the Internet when much of this information was held secret by the experts. I have many years of experience in these fields, and use these Web pages to share my knowledge freely.
This site is offered in the hope that readers will better understand electric guitar technology, leading to creative use of your musical tools. Of course, only practice will improve your musical vocabulary and articulation. These pages have been online, without advertising, since the mid 1990's and I'm delighted to observe a significant improvement in general knowledge of guitar technology since that time. Of course, I don't pretend to take all the credit for that, but I do believe I've contributed.
It's probably inevitable that musical advertisements continue to claim their gear contains magical properties that will transform you into a guitar hero. Quite simply, just because a piece of gear may happen to be built identically to one allegedly used by a particular guitar legend (often conveniently now deceased), it will NOT make you instantly play or sound like him or her. It will give you a sound that may or may not suit your own style, abilities and other gear.
So please read and enjoy. I've attempted to describe this technology in lay terms and avoid technical jargon as much as possible. I've also attempted to write as objectively as possible, however, I expect you'll soon note my preferences for hearing tone from all components in the signal chain: the guitar, amplifier and speaker. This requires subtlety, restraint and control: less really is more. Those who've been around a while have had the privilege to witness many guitarists mature in their playing and tone with that exact formula.

The South West Prospect of the City of Worcester
Samuel and Nathaniel Buck (1696 - 1779)
Coloured engraving1732
About the work
- Location
Country: Sweden
City: Stockholm
Place: British Embassy
About the artist
Brothers Samuel and Nathaniel Buck were the leading British topographical draughtsmen and engravers of the 18th century. They produced several hundred drawings and engravings, including 87 'Prospects' of England and Wales. The engravings are important visual records of the appearance of British urban landscapes prior to the Industrial Revolution. In many cases, the places depicted have since disappeared or changed beyond recognition. Their dedication in recording almost every corner of the country has left modern viewers with an invaluable record of Britain's past. As demand for their prints fell away, Nathaniel took over a furniture business, while Samuel tried several professions, including teaching draughtsmanship and cleaning pictures.

Pre Departure Info
Important notes
Group sizeMaximum of 18 travelers per group
Your fellow traveler's
This trip is operated in "Join-In" basis and you may travel alongside other Capey Tours or non-Capey Tours traveler's during included activities.
Please note many of our Short Break Adventures operate with a minimum of 2 people, so there may be instances where there are only 2 people on the trip.
Hotel / Guesthouse / Backpackers depending on your choice
Meals & Drinks
As per the itinerary. Drinks are for your own account
Money Matters
The official currency of South Africa is the Rand (ZAR). The best way to manage your money in Africa is a mixture of cash and an ATM card (best to have both Visa and MasterCard).
Cash is easily changed at exchange bureaus and they generally offer the best rates. ***PLEASE NOTE: MANY BUSINESSES AND BANKS IN AFRICA DO NOT ACCEPT US DOLLAR NOTES OLDER THAN 2006. IF YOU ARE BRINGING USD, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND LARGE BILLS IN GOOD CONDITION, 2006 SERIES ONWARDS ONLY. ANY OLD OR DAMAGED NOTES MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED. ***
The South African Rand can also be used widely in countries of Southern Africa. When changing money, only use reputable authorized money exchange vendors and never anyone on the street. There are many instances of traveler's being given counterfeit notes or being tricked when money is being counted out.
Visa & Master Card
With ATMs being increasingly available in the many major towns and cities and even some campsites, credit or debit cards are a convenient way to access money. Throughout Africa, cards with the Visa logo are most readily recognized, although MasterCard is also accepted in most places. A charge is made for each international transaction - please check with your bank how much this fee will be. Check with your bank before leaving home that your card can be used as a debit card in Africa. You may also want to notify your bank that you are visiting Africa as it's not unknown for banks to freeze cards which show sudden transactions in other countries. At "A Team Tours" we are serious about your safety and strongly advise that you follow the following rules when drawing cash at an ATM:
When it comes to money matters on the trip, every traveler is a little different. You know your spending habits better than we do, so please budget a sensible amount for things like meals not included, drinks, shopping, optional activities and laundry. It's always better to bring a little more than you think you'll need.
Also make sure you've read your trip details thoroughly so you know what's included in the trip price and what isn't. This should make budgeting a little easier. You'll find this info in the Inclusions section of your Essential Trip Information (that's this document).
Emergency Funds
Please also make sure you have access to an additional US$500, to be used when unforeseen incidents or circumstances outside our control (e.g. a natural disaster, civil unrest, strike action or an outbreak of bird flu) necessitate a change to our planned route.

For general enquiries or questions about your booking, please visit us at www.capeytours.co.za/contact-us While we always endeavor to provide the best possible holiday experience, due to the nature of travel and the areas we visit sometimes things can and do go wrong. Should any issue occur while you are on your trip, it is imperative that you discuss this with your group leader or our local representative straight away so that they can do their best to rectify the problem and save any potential negative impact on the rest of your trip. We recognize that there may be times when your group tour leader/guide may not be able to resolve a situation to your satisfaction - if this is the case, please ask the leader to speak to their direct manager? You may also choose to provide details in your online feedback, which we ask you to complete within 30 days of the end of your trip. But we do ask you to be aware that it is very difficult for us to provide any practical help after the trip is complete.
Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveler. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the country or countries you're visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your nationality. Your consultant will also be happy to point you in the right direction with acquiring visas. Visas can take several weeks to process, so familiarize yourself with any requirements as soon as you have booked your trip to allow for processing time.
SOUTH AFRICA:Australia: No visa required Belgium: No visa required Canada: No visa required Germany: No visa required Ireland: No visa required Netherlands: No visa required New Zealand: No visa required Switzerland: No visa required United Kingdom: No visa required USA: No visa required
Citizens of the above countries do not need visas to visit South Africa as a tourist for up to three months. Citizens of all countries should check with the relevant consulates as to whether a visa is required.
Entry Requirements - Passports
Please note that non-machine readable passports are no longer accepted by South African immigration. All visitors to South Africa must have a machine readable travel document (e-passport). Failure to present an e-passport will result in denied entry. Passengers with a valid visa issued in a non-machine readable passport will be handled on a case by case basis, but a fine will still be applicable.
Entry Requirements - Travelling with Children
A new immigration regulation came into effect on 1st October 2014, whereby parents will need to produce an original unabridged birth certificate if they are travelling with children. The new regulation has been put in place to protect children from being abducted, kidnapped and preventing child trafficking. The Department of Home Affairs has urged all parents to apply for unabridged certificates for their children. Additionally, further documentation including permission to travel, may be required if only one parent is travelling. These are requirements of the immigration regulation 6 (12)(a) for parents travelling with children. So just to be on the safe side, more information can be found here: http://www.dha.gov.za/index.php/civic-services/traveling-with-children
We recommend traveler's check requirements before travel as they can change.
What to Take
What you need to bring will vary according to the trip style you have chosen, the tour you have chosen and when you are travelling. Generally speaking, you should pack as lightly as possible.
Most traveler's carry their luggage in a backpack, although an overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you travel lightly. Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient although we recommend your bag has carry straps. You'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc. for day trips.
Water Bottle
Consider bringing your own water bottle to refill along the way. We recommend at least a 1.5litre capacity. The sale of bottled water contributes to an enormous environmental problem around the world. In addition to the water in bottles, the production of a 1 litre plastic bottle takes 2 litres of water and 200ml of oil. A large proportion end up in limited landfill or discarded in waterways and natural environments.
All Capey Tours traveler's need to be in good physical health in order to participate fully on this trip. When selecting your trip please make sure you have read through the itinerary carefully and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please note that if, in the opinion of our group leader or local guide, any traveler is unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group, Capey Tours reserves the right to exclude them from all or part of a trip without refund.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information or for any necessary vaccinations and anti-malarial requirements before departure. We recommend that you carry a first aid kit as well as any personal medical requirements (including a spare pair of glasses) as they may not easily be obtained at the locations on this trip. For legal reasons our leaders and guides are prohibited from administering any type of drugs including headache tablets and antibiotics. Please ensure that you are adequately prepared.
Yellow Fever
A valid international certificate of vaccination against Yellow Fever is required in many countries. You may need to present this on arrival at the airport or border crossing. Some countries will refuse entry if you are unable to present your certificate. It's also quite common for your home country to request a Yellow Fever certificate on your arrival back home.
It is your responsibility to check with your doctor well in advance of leaving home about the Yellow Fever requirements for the countries you'll be visiting.
Travel Insurance
span style="font-size: 14pt;">Travel insurance is compulsory for all our trips. We require that, at a minimum, you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects.
When travelling on a trip, you won't be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number has been seen by your leader.
If you have credit card insurance your group leader will require details of the participating insurer/underwriter, the level of coverage, policy number and emergency contact number rather than the bank's name and credit card details. Please contact your bank for these details prior to arriving in-country.
A Couple Of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on our trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land, but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for Capey Tours traveler's. Capey Tours philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter and in particular, the local people who make our destinations such special places. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Everyone has the right to feel safe and secure on their trip. We don't tolerate any form of sexual harassment at Capey Tours, either between passengers or involving our leaders or local operators. Sexual relationships (consensual or otherwise) between a leader and a passenger are unacceptable. If you ever feel another person is behaving inappropriately, please inform us immediately by contacting the emergency contact number detailed in these trip notes.
Responsible Travel
We believe strongly in low impact or rather positive impact tourism. Broadly speaking this means that we try to minimize the negative aspects of tourism on the local cultures and environments that we visit and highlight the positive aspects.
At Capey Tours we take your safety very seriously. Like any other country in the world, South Africa also has "hotspots" where it's not safe to go. In order to keep you safe at all times, we have listed a few pointers below that will go a long way in ensuring your safety in various situations:
In the Street
After your travels, we want to hear from you! We rely on your feedback. We read it carefully. Feedback helps us understand what we are doing well and what we could be doing better. It allows us to make improvements for future traveler's.
We trust you enjoyed your adventure and look forward to seeing you return ASAP!
