One of the most pressing questions in the life of an early tax filer – when can I expect my tax refund to come? Before e-filing, this was always difficult to predict. First, you mail in your return. Then someone inputs all your information (and later, computers scanned in your information), then the Treasury had to issue a check, which was then mailed to you. Now, with a free IRS e-file, you can get your refund in as little as 8 days from when you file, if you elect for direct deposit.
You can get leather from animals ranging from alligators, pigs, to eels. Every animal produces a unique hide for any task or occasion. Here are just a few animals that are used for as leather, and their characteristics: 1. Cattle Leather: Hide from cattle is the most popular and common type of leather.

KissAnime is known to be one of the most renowned Anime video sharing portals these days. It provides a vast catalog of Anime shows in the different genres. Aside from that, it is one of the most organized and user-friendly websites among Anime sites available. Categories are organized per tab according to Anime list, shows compatible with mobile devices, Anime that are dubbed in English, Cartoons and a tab where you can request a specific Anime that does not exist in the site. What makes this site stand out among the others, it provides a complete episode of each Anime in a high-quality maximum of 720pixel. Though this site is a pleasant haven for Anime lovers out there, there are also tons of websites like KissAnime, and some of them can be stream via Android or iOS phones. That is why we listed some of the most commonly visited sites where you can watch Anime online.
Sony encourages you to use “Rest Mode” on your PlayStation 4 instead of completely powering it off. Rest Mode is a bit like sleep mode on your PC–it goes into a low-power mode instead of turning off entirely, so you can get to your games faster when you wake it up. The only downside to using Rest Mode is that it uses more energy than turning your PS4 off–but how much more, and how much does it cost?
Some web sites suggest the Super-J has a full 3 dB gain over the plain J-Pole which is a pretentious claim obvious to anyone with a copy of the ARRL Antenna Book and other references1. Indeed, the Super-J will never approach the gain advantage of a properly separated two element collinear antenna, but we can get closer to this goal. 2m Slim Jim antenna made for under £10 Most people make these for 2m use, but you can make them for 70cm use if required.If you decide to make a 2m antenna, you’ll end up with 1.5 metres of ladder line as the main antenna that can roll up neatly in a coil and can be used hanging from a curtain rail above a window, dropped down from a tree, or taped to the side of a fishing pole and raised into the air.
The Slim Jim can be a great portable ‘roll up’ antenna, if made out of 300Ω or 450Ω ladder line / twin feeder. Add a loop of string to the top, and hang it on a tree branch, use it with your handheld transceiver, then roll it up and put it in your pocket when done! A Slim Jim for 2m (145MHz) will be 1.5 metres long, and 70cm (433MHz) will be 0.5 metres. Alternatively, for permanent installations, the copper tube or aluminium J-pole is a good choice. I have had good success with both, but regularly use the balanced feeder Slim Jim mounted on a 9m fibreglass pole, as can be seen in the photo at the bottom of the page. It is recommended to use some sort of choke at the feedpoint. Around 6 close turns (for VHF) of the coaxial cable around a 40mm former (PVC pipe etc), or taped up and hung freely should be enough. I have also used a clip on ferrite for VHF. As with any balanced feed antenna, this will help prevent the braid of the coaxial cable from radiating, and becoming part of the antenna, and therefore affecting SWR and performance. The 6 turns is tested as adequate for VHF operation (145MHz) More may be needed lower down in frequency. The spacing between elements, I have shown as 45mm on 2 metres. This is not critical. It will have some effect on where the 50Ω feed point is, but i’m sure you’ll find it! ‘D’ and ‘F’ work together in the calculations above. The critical lengths are B, C, and E then adjust the feedpoint to find a perfect match. Ignore B and E if building the 'J pole'. *Velocity Factor: I have added the ability to select the velocity factor of your conductor. It is set by default to 0.96, which is for bare copper or bare aluminium. If you use balanced feeder such as 300Ω or 450Ω, adjust it to 0.91 (or set to the cable manufacturers specification if available). 50Ω feed point: The 50Ω feed point varies between the Slim Jim and the J-Pole. A Slim Jim has a higher feed impedance, due to it being a ‘folded dipole’, therefore it will be lower down. I have included a 50Ω feedpoint value for both the Slim Jim and the J-Pole, however, it really is a starting point and should be adjusted up and down until you get a 1.1 SWR with your antenna. You could even use a 4:1 coax balun and feed it higher up the matching section. I made one for 4m (70MHz) which is 3 metres long. The quarter wave matching section can be made horizontal, with the half wave radiator section vertical, 90° to it if space is an issue, although this will affect radiation pattern slightly. Just remember the whole antenna needs to be in the clear, away from any objects, especially conductive objects!
So, how does this thing work?
I hope this has been of help to you. If you decide to build this antenna, I’d like to know what you think of it. Please leave a comment! Thanks, 73 John.
