Recorder Codes
Gaetan Boren
The staff of the Recorder's Office are forbidden by California legal codes to practice law or provide legal advice; this prohibition includes giving advice about what forms you might need or how you should fill them out.
The Documentary Transfer Tax (DTT) imposes a tax on each deed,instrument, or writing by which any lands, tenements, or any other realty sold,shall be granted, transferred, or otherwise conveyed to another person.
The following are examples of the some of the most common conveyances that are exempt from Sonoma County Documentary Transfer Tax Ordinance No. 1058, Section 12-23. A claimed exemption must be stated on the document. Recorder staff cannot provide legal advice on DTT Exemptions.
Before the advent of on-screen displays, the only interface available for programming a home video recorder was a small VFD, LED or LCD panel and a small number of buttons. Correctly setting up a recording for a specific program was therefore a somewhat complex operation for many people. G-Code, VideoPlus+ and ShowView were introduced in the late 1980s to remove this difficulty.
The central concept of the system is a unique number, a PlusCode, assigned to each program, and published in television listings in newspapers and magazines (such as TV Guide). To record a program, the code number is taken from the newspaper and input into the video recorder, which would then record on the correct channel at the correct time. The code could also be entered into a dedicated remote control device that would then control the VCR. The number is generated by an algorithm from the date, time and channel of the program; as a result, it does not rely on an over-the-air channel to serve as a conduit to ensure the recording is properly timed. This means it will not compensate for a disrupted schedule due to live sporting events or bulletins for breaking news events, however many video recorders with these systems also incorporate Programme Delivery Control (PDC) and use that to alter times if possible.
The system has been licensed to television and VCR manufacturers in about 40 countries, but is branded under different names depending on the country. It is known as VCR Plus+, VCR Plus+ Silver and VCR Plus+ Gold in the United States and Canada; G-Code in Japan, China, New Zealand and Australia; VideoPlus+ in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Japan; and ShowView in the rest of Europe as well as in South Africa. The system is branded as VideoPlus+/ShowView in Europe due to an existing trademark registration for "VCR" by Philips in that continent, and as G-Code (the "G" standing for the system's developer Gemstar) in Japan because VCR is not a common abbreviation there ("VTR," for videotape recorder, is used instead). Japan initially used the name Video Plus+ and later changed to G-Code, an example of this is the Victor (JVC) HR-880. Because television programming schedules are different, the coding has to be adjusted in each of the regions and recording equipment is not interchangeable.
The International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) is an international standard code for uniquely identifying sound recordings and music video recordings. The code was developed by the recording industry in conjunction with the ISO technical committee 46, subcommittee 9 (TC 46/SC 9), which codified the standard as ISO 3901 in 1986, and updated it in 2001.
An ISRC identifies a particular recording, not the work (composition and lyrical content) itself. Therefore, different recordings, edits, and remixes of the same work should each have their own ISRC. Works are identified by ISWC. Recordings remastered or revised in other ways are usually assigned a new ISRC.[1]
ISO 3901 was completed in 1986. In 1988, the IFPI recommended that its member companies adopt ISRCs for music videos. In 1989, the ISO designated the IFPI as the registration authority for ISRCs. The IFPI, in turn, delegated part of the administration of ISRCs to several dozen national agencies, which allocate ISRCs to both record companies and individuals.[2] The national agencies began assigning ISRCs for music videos in August 1989.
The Japanese recording industry began encoding ISRCs on audio CDs in November 1989. The IFPI and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) then developed detailed recommendations for this practice, and for ISRC assignment in general. The IFPI adopted the recommendations in March 1991 and they went into effect for IFPI members on 1 January 1992.
ISRC codes are always 12 characters long, in the form "CC-XXX-YY-NNNNN". The hyphens are not part of the ISRC code itself, but codes are often presented that way in print to make them easier to read. The four parts are as follows:[3]
The provision of ISRCs is overseen by appointed national ISRC agencies. These national ISRC agencies issue codes directly to the public and may also utilize authorized ISRC Managers to issue ISRCs. In the United States, the appointed agency is RIAA. ISRC codes can be obtained in large blocks directly from RIAA for an administrative fee ($95 at time of this publication), in quantities as little as 1 from ISRC.com ($2-$5), or in conjunction with other music-related services from other authorized ISRC managers.[8] In territories where there is no national ISRC agency, users can obtain ISRC codes directly from IFPI or from ISRC.com, Quansic and Sound Credit.[9]
In his presentation, Raffensperger made several requests that were not in the budget proposal approved by Gov. Brian Kemp, including hiring new staff focused on election security, security measures to prepare for the upcoming election and new software for corporate filing.

Senate Ethics Committee Chairman Max Burns said Tuesday that his Senate Bill 189 intends to restore greater confidence in the accuracy of votes cast in elections statewide. The bill calls for replacing the QR code that tabulates votes recorded on paper ballots with a new method of either readable text or a bubble style mark similar to what is currently used for absentee and provisional ballots.
The bill now moves to the Senate Rules Committee, which sets the agenda on which legislation is brought to the floor of the chamber. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and House Speaker Jon Burns, both Republicans, have listed the elimination of the QR code on ballots as a priority for the 2024 legislative session.

The Georgia Associated Press Managing Editors named Stanley a finalist for best deadline reporting. The Tennessee Press Association honored him for his reporting on the disappearance of Holly Bobo.
I would therefore assume that these codes should appear an approximately equal number of times throughout the file, but this is not true. I've constructed a code to iterate through each combination of bits and log the number of times these codes occur, and the results generally show that the 1st and 4th codes appear a large number of times (thousands to tens of thousands), but the second and third codes only appear a handful of times (tens to hundreds). This seems very inconsistent with the literature of ARINC 717. I have tried these codes most and least significant bit first. I have assumed therefore that the data had been processed in some additional way, be it encryption or compression, but I'm at a bit of a loss.
After consultation with a third part organisation, I've discovered that the issue here was that there was an additional layer of proprietary encoding above the Arinc 717 that rendered this approach useless without information on this additional encoding scheme.
Q. How often should an implantable loop recorder (Reveal, Reveal LINQ, Confirm, Confirm RX, Bio2) be checked?
A. Based on Heart Rhythm Society and manufacturer guidelines, all implantable loop recorders must be monitored continuously and a review of all transmissions must be done at least one time per 30 day period (12 times per year.) While these devices may automatically trigger many times per month, both the technical and professional CPT codes are only billed once per 30 day period (day 31).
Q. What is the technical monitoring CPT code for an implantable loop recorder?
A. Effective January 1, 2020, the technical CPT code for remote monitoring of implantable loop recorders has changed from CPT 93299 to CPT G2066. This code is carrier based and should be used for all remote monitoring sessions that are billed after January 1, 2020.
