Jumpstart Northern California
Jumpstart is a national early education organization that recruits and trains college students and community Corps members to serve preschool children in low-income neighborhoods. Our proven curriculum helps children develop the language and literacy skills they need to be ready for kindergarten, setting them on a path to close the achievement gap before it is too late.
When Jumpstart Northern California launched in 1999, we served just 100 children in underserved neighborhoods in San Francisco. With the help and generosity of our supporters, our region continues to grow and inspire children to learn, college students to teach, families to become involved in their children's education, and communities to progress together.
During the school year, more than 780 preschool children throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, who are most at risk of school failure, join 200 college Corps members to grow and learn together in Jumpstart sessions. And it's proven that our programs work: 95% of children served by Jumpstart Northern California make gains in key kindergarten-readiness skills over the school year, preparing them to succeed in school and in life.
As the only program of its kind, Jumpstart infuses the community with a new generation of dedicated and well-trained teachers; after serving with Jumpstart, 94% of Northern California college Corps members indicate that they intend to pursue careers in education or public service.

The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charity, is the authorized fundraising and support organization for the Toys for Tots Program. The Foundation provides the funding and support needed for successful annual toy collection and distribution campaigns. Local campaigns are conducted annually in over 700 communities covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
Local toy collection campaigns begin in October and last until mid to late December. Toy distribution also takes place mid to late December. Members of the community drop new, unwrapped toys in collection boxes positioned in local businesses. Coordinators pick up these toys and store them in central warehouses where the toys are sorted by age and gender. At Christmas, Coordinators, with the assistance of local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other local community agencies, distribute the toys to the less fortunate children of the community. Over the years, Marines have established close working relationships with social welfare agencies, churches and other local community agencies which are well qualified to identify the needy children in the community and play important roles in the distribution of the toys.
While Toys for Tots Coordinators organize, coordinate and manage the campaign, the ultimate success depends on the support of the local community and the generosity of the people who donate toys.
Local business leaders play key roles. They allow Coordinators to locate drop-off/collection boxes in their stores; provide free warehouse space for storing and sorting toys during October, November and December; provide vehicles to collect toys from drop-off sites; sponsor toy raising events; and help Coordinators arrange media exposure for Toys for Tots in the local community.
National corporations support Toys for Tots by establishing affiliations with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. These corporations make donations to the Foundation or conduct cause marketing initiatives from which they share royalties with the Foundation. In almost every instance, the marketing initiatives of these corporations give significant added visibility and name recognition to Toys for Tots. Such visibility enhances the campaign at the national and local levels. The funds emanating from these affiliations enable the Foundation to purchase toys to supplement local collections; purchase promotion and support materials and defray the costs of annual Toys for Tots campaigns.

Congratulations to "Team Cindy" on their great success with their effort in the 2017 ALS WALK, which was held on 11th June. Teri Healey Evans led the team in memory of her dear sister, Cindy, who passed away from this devastating disease. Teri was joined in the ALS Walk by friends and other members of Cindy's loving and loyal family and together they raised $500.00.
Teri has sent us this picture of some of those who walked for Cindy. They seem to be enjoying some well earned refreshments.
L-R: Teri's son Matthew, Teri, Matthew's girlfriend Melanie, Cindy's sister Sharon Healey O'Neill and Sharon's husband Owen O'Neill.
Cindy's brother Charlie Healey, Teri's daughters, their friends, and Sharon and Owen's grandson Zachary also did the walk but, Teri tells us, by the time she remembered to take a picture they had left. Perhaps we will get them on next year's walk!
Thank you, Teri, for shedding some light on ALS and for sharing this wonderful family effort with us. Keep up the good work and if we can help by posting events for you, please just let us know.

Can anyone provide me a link where I can get information on how to build an Android tablet on my own and what components I need to buy? Please do not give me that age-old YouTube video link of that Chinese person building his own iPad. That is dated and i am not too impressed with that 3 part video. I need a more structured and scientific documentation, need not be a video but also textual instruction will be fine.
I maybe onto something here. I found a components builder, which may assist onto my project. I just now have to find out how to source it in India. The website is http://www.liquidware.com/ . I am now marking the question as resolved. If I do make some headway, I will keep people updated on the project then.
I'm not sure. Try maybe buying parts on aliexpress.com and wing it (make it up as you go along). Also look for an engineer on fiverr.com to help you. See if you can pay someone $5 or $10 to help you engineer it. Then write up your results and launch you own howto website. I guess you could use a Rasberry Pi or similar inexpenive computer as the guts.
Also does the help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLPC_XO-1 http://one.laptop.org/? I know they are not necessary build it yourself articles. Maybe you can write to the people there for more hints and links.
Build Your Own (Android) Tablet!
How to build a 23? Android tablet
I did check the first website earlier also before posting this question as the url name sounded really promising, however I was dissapointed with it, as porting Android OS on a HP Touchpad or other non android pre-built tablets is exactly as same as building a android tablet from components per se.
The second url I was not aware of, but after checking it I just found that the person connected a huge 23" screen with the connector to a android tablet to get a bigger display. Again, not exactly what I am asking for.
I am looking more of a DIY build up project from the components up.
A DIY Beagleboard-based Android Gadget Starter Kit
Ultimate Beagle Gadget Pack
Accessory Development Kit
Android Hardware Developers
Adventures in Android ADK Development: Hardware
Dude that is obviously the first resource I have already tried before posting the question here :)
These guys just keep commenting for points!
a tablet has basic components of a computer like cpu, ram, etc. just check samsung or nexus links to look which components they use. but it would really hard to get these components as well as assemble them to make it into a fully functional android device. there is also the compatibility issue with the choice of your Android ROM and the components you will be using. Best of luck on your quest.

The deal marks the first time the network has tied in with an advertiser for the event, though Dr Pepper and NBC have teamed up for joint marketing campaigns in the past.
In specially tagged promotion spots and Diet Dr Pepper commercials, viewers will be asked to call a toll-free phone number or go to a Web site (www.nbc/goldenglobes.com) to predict winners in four categories: Best Musical or Comedy Movie; Best Drama Movie; Best Musical or Comedy TV Series; and Best Drama TV Series. There will be 55 winners, with the grand prize being a 55-week supply of Diet Dr Pepper and a trip to Hollywood to see one of NBC's Golden Globe-winning series taped.
Greg Castronuovo, NBC's director of marketing, said the promotion "is very focused and it's part of our overall strategy to aggressively get eyeballs to specific NBC shows while at the same time meeting the marketing goals of the advertiser."
For Diet Dr Pepper, the goal is to increase brand awareness, said John Clarke, chief advertising officer, Dr Pepper/Seven Up.
John Miller, NBC's exec VP-advertising and promotion, is designing the on-air promos. The promotion will also be supported with ads in People, Entertainment Weekly, and TV Guide.

The meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Portage Public Schools Administration Building.
The meeting was posted at the end of the workday Friday, about an hour after the district issued a press release saying that a due-process hearing would be held Jan. 25 to decide whether to sever Perry's contract.
"There was a development late Friday that may render that hearing unnecessary," Snyder said. "The board will consider this development at the special meeting."
He said the board will meet in closed session to discuss the development. However, a vote on terminating Perry would have to occur in public.
Snyder declined to say whether Perry and the board had reached an agreement on the superintendent's departure.
Perry has been on paid leave since Dec. 14, when the board voted 7-0 to suspend him for having an "inappropriate relationship" with a Portage school employee, who has not been named.
The board also announced it was starting the process to terminate Perry's employment for cause, as stipulated in his contract. The due-process hearing was part of that process.

Financial Options Las Vegas
As a result, we have several financing options available for patients.
Plastic Surgery Insurance Coverage
Since most procedures we perform are elective, insurance companies do not consider them a benefit of your policy. There are a few exceptions that vary from policy to policy when a procedure is considered medically necessary. If you would like us to contact your insurance company to determine benefits, please let us know at your consultation.
Plastic Surgery Costs
For many reasons of practicality, Dr. Parker does not publish his fee schedule on the website. However, you will be happy to know that over the years, the cost of cosmetic surgery has gone down. As a result of advances in surgical techniques, procedures are shorter, less invasive and easier on the patient. These advances have reduced hospital recovery time and surgical operating room time. In return, procedure costs have gone down. Unlike many surgeons in the valley, Dr. Parker has opted to pass these savings along to you. You will find his fees to be very competitive, if not less than the other surgeons in the area.
Receiving a Price Quote
At your consultation, Dr. Parker will listen to your needs, examine the troubled area and determine the procedure best for you. A price quote will then be tailored to your individual needs and presented at your consultation. All quotes include Dr. Parker's fee, anesthesia charges, operating room and nursing fees, implant expense, and all pre- and post-operative office care. We only use the highest standard in surgical care and provide the luxury of general anesthesia.
Payment Options
As with all elective procedures, payment is due one week prior to surgery. We understand that sometimes it is not convenient or feasible to pay the entire balance up front. That is why we have contacted two of the industry leaders in patient financing. Their patient finance programs offer an affordable, manageable way to pay for your procedure. We are happy to assist with these companies and are available to discuss options if necessary.
Below you will find a detailed summary of a few convenient finance options. These are by no means the only options available. If these options do not appeal to you, please contact the patient care coordinator and she can help find one that better meets your needs.
Cash Discount
For those patients that are able, we are pleased to offer a cash discount. To receive the cash discount, you must pay one week prior to your surgery via cash or cashier check. Personal checks are accepted as cash; however, they must be received no later then two weeks prior to surgery.
Credit Cards
For those patients interested, we accept all major credit cards: Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover. Credit cards do not receive the cash discount.
Finance Options
Care Credit is a revolving line of credit (credit card) to be used for healthcare expenses. They are very quick and extremely convenient. They can process an application via the web or phone within 90 seconds and there is no obligation to accept the loan if you dislike the terms. Please note, this plan does not qualify for the cash discount. Click here or call (800) 677-0718 to apply for a loan through Care Credit.
Medical Finance Solutions is a lender that specializes in different credit levels. If previous lenders have denied you, you may want to consider Medical Finance Solutions. They can process an application via fax, web or phone within 24 hours and there is no obligation to accept the loan if you dislike the terms. Please note that this plan does not qualify for the cash discount. Click here or call (800) 728-9585 to apply today.

If you are concerned about your wrinkles and fine lines showing on your wedding day, go easy on your powder. Powder settles into fine lines and wrinkles which calls attention to them. Just dust powder onto your forehead, nose and chin since these spots tend to get the shiniest. Avoid your eye, cheek and neck area if you want to look youthful.

Alternative Investment
Most people today are now having different sources of income. They wanted to augment their finances by joining any form of businesses that will provide them a little bit of financial stability if not as other income. Investments are in different form. They can be as high as those big companies or they can be as small as those small business which get most of their assets and capital from investors.
If you're planning to get into investments there are things that you should learn first before you plunge in and investment your money. It is better that you'll have knowledge of what you are getting into rather than depending on the flow and stories of others. The only way to be successful is to learn your craft.
There's a website that provide education and knowledge about alternative investments. They are offering this education for free. This is good for those who are starting with their investments. So what do they offer for free? According to them they are offering the following learning for free Managed Forex, Private Placement, and Managed Futures. So there are videos and materials that will help people about alternative investment.
Personal Loans
We often try to get some investments by doing some Personal Loans. In order to make some adjustments on our businesses we try to mix it with personal money as investments in the business. Sometimes people tend to have their loans no matter how or what are the plans. Sometimes they go even beyond what is really applicable.
A Poor Credit Loans and No Credit Loans are applicable for those who are really in need of a loan. This is not applicable for business entities that are really making a high profit with their business. Those who can only try this credit loans are people who don't have any much means of earning to pay enough their debt.
Loans are loans no matter what's the nature of it. It can be as big as you need for your multi-million dollar business or as small as your micro business. For as long as it requires payment and collateral it is an obligation that needs to be dealt with. Loans can be really helpful for those who are in need.
Earning a Few Cents from CloudCrowd
I found this site called CloudCrowd which is an application for earning money on Facebook. I have been a member for quite some time already but I actually doesn't really understand how the site give projects and earnings for the member. Just a few weeks ago I was able to complete some task in the Available Work Area. I was able to submit completed tasks and I'm glad that some of it were approved and were already paid. The payment was immediately sent to the Paypal account after the tasks have been approved by the admin. Once approved the corresponding amount will be sent through Paypal as payment for the completed task.
The only thing that I don't understand about this is how to maintain the high rank of credibility. It's just something that I don't know how will you be able to accumulate credibility if the credibility points for the tasks is higher than your score. So meaning you'll have to wait for the free one's just to be able to raise your credibility score.
If you want to try about CloudCrowd just visit it here and try it for yourself.
Instant Loans
The easiest way to get instant money is Instant Loans. Yes, it is indeed a very fast way to get money but of course it is a loan. Most of the businesses who are striving to make their company grow commonly leads to loans. That's there only way to get fast and easy cash. By doing so they can expand their businesses or even go beyond on having branches in different areas. With good credits businessmen can easily get a Guaranteed Loans to any lending or financial institutions. The only thing that they should avoid is to get Bad Credit Loans Online. Most lending or financial institutions are tracking and background checking you and your company if you have any unsettled financial obligations. This can really affect you when you're going to loan again.
Loans are good for businesses if you know how to run and manage your business correctly. This can really give you success and even give a good break for you business. Just always know when to settle your obligations.

One of the most familiar buildings in Keighley — an old mill town in the heart of Bronte country in West Yorkshire — is the former police station, with its underground car park, on Devonshire Street.
The 'cop shop car park' — as it is still known today — is the unofficial divide between Keighley's two Asian areas: Highfield, which lies on a hill rising from the centre of Keighley up towards the moors, and, at the opposite end, Dalton Lane and Lawkholme.
Young Asians from these neighbourhoods refer to themselves as 'Top Enders' and 'Bottom Enders' respectively. Rivalries between them, fuelled by the drugs trade, have sometimes spilled over into violence.

believe that doctors need to take the time to read the latest research on viral latency. Latent viruses are active, and can be dangerous. - Gregg Bennett, CBCD
Rochester, NY (PRWEB) December 08, 2013
The CBCD believes that those scientists, who view latent viruses as harmless, are wrong. One can find an example of such a view in a study published as recent as 2012 in the journal of Medical Microbiology and Immunology. Researchers wrote that the Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV), "stays for the lifetime of the host in a non-infectious, replicatively dormant state known as 'viral latency' (2)." Notice that the researchers equate 'dormancy' with 'latency.' Even the CDC considers the two as one and the same. On its website published on May 16. 2006, the CDC stated that "EBV remains dormant or latent in a few cells…" (2). Note that the website uses the word 'or', meaning according to the CDC, 'dormant' and 'latent' are interchangeable.
This is a misconception.
There is much research, which shows that latent viruses are not dormant. In fact, as a new study found, "…advances in techniques to study global changes in gene expression have begun to show that HCMV latency is a highly active process which involves expression of specific latency-associated viral gene products which orchestrate major changes in the latently infected cell (1)." In addition, "as techniques for studying HCMV at a molecular level have become increasingly powerful, it is now emerging that latent HCMV infection profoundly modulates the latently infected cell and the surrounding cellular environment (1)."
In particular, researchers wrote that all of the herpes viruses, which are responsible for much of the viral disease burden in humans, affect the body while latent. Research shows the existence of "a common unifying theme in the biology of herpesvirus latency and reactivation (1)."
Thus, all herpes viruses, including the Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV), oral herpes (HSV-1), genital herpes (HSV-2), and the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), have a similar impact on the body, specifically during latency. They all replicate, and express proteins.
Another study showed that human ganglia (a mass of nerve cells), which were infected with the latent Varicella Zoster Virus, showed multiple VZV transcripts. "RT-PCR and in situ hybridization studies have identified multiple VZV transcripts in latently infected human ganglia. State-of-the-art multiplex PCR technology, capable of detecting all 68 annotated VZV gene transcripts, revealed transcription of at least 12 VZV genes during latency…(3)." This is according to a study published on September 14, 2013 in the journal, Viruses.
"We believe that doctors need to take the time to read the latest research on viral latency. Latent viruses are active, and can be dangerous. One great source of information on this subject is "Microcompetition with Foreign DNA and the Origin of Chronic Disease," a book by Dr. Hanan Polansky, which includes an explanation on how latent viruses cause most major diseases." – Greg Bennett, CBCD
The following is a simplified explanation of that theory. Dr. Hanan Polansky discovered that foreign DNA fragments, called N-boxes, cause most major diseases. When the foreign N-boxes belong to a virus, microcompetition between the viral DNA and the human DNA can lead to disease even when the virus is latent or the viral DNA is broken into pieces and cannot express proteins.
To learn more about Dr. Hanan Polansky's research and the Theory of Microcompetition with Foreign DNA, visit: http://www.cbcd.net
(1) Human Cytomegalovirus Manipulation of Latently Infected Cells. Published on November 21, 2013.
(2) Viral latency drives 'memory inflation': a unifying hypothesis linking two hallmarks of cytomegalovirus infection. Published in November, 2012.
(3) Varicella zoster virus (VZV)-human neuron interaction. Published on September 4, 2013.
The CBCD is a research center recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization. The mission of the CBCD is to advance the research on the biology of chronic diseases, and to accelerate the discovery of treatments.
The CBCD published the "Purple" book by Dr. Hanan Polansky. The book presents Dr. Polansky's highly acclaimed scientific theory on the relationship between foreign DNA and the onset of chronic diseases. Dr. Polansky's book is available as a free download from the CBCD website.

In between the south of Tulum and Playa del Carmen you can find more than 700km of lines spread in between 50 systems that are among the 15 most important in the world. This area is the biggest playground for everyone that wishes to discover the underwater world in crystal clear water.
"Angelita" or Little angel, is without question one of the most unique cenotes in the area. It is located 17km south of Tulum, it is a sinkhole that goes down 60m deep. The particularity of Angelita is the thick hydrogen sulfate cloud located about 30m from the surface, creating a surreal and unique atmosphere. Some experience is required due to the depth of this dive.
"Gran Cenote", is considered one of the best for snorkeling, cave and cavern diving, which makes it a very popular cenote. It is located 4km of Tulum. The cavern dive leads along the edge of the circular shaped, which allows us to stay in a semi permanent open area whilst having a roof on top of us. This is the perfect place to start nice and calm dives. The maximum depth is 10m.
"Casa Cenote" gives us the impression that we are diving underneath the jungle. It is the closest cenote to the ocean and offers a variety of salt and fresh water marine life. Casa Cenote is located 10km north of Tulum. We do the dive alongside the jungle and the mangrove. This dive is available for certified divers with or without experience, in a good day it is one of our favorites. The maximum depth is 8m
"Car Wash", this name comes from the fact that not so long ago some taxi drivers used its water to wash their vehicles… Located 8km from Tulum, it is a dive out of this world. Most of the time water looks green, but after several days of rain it can seem red. This circuit is relatively short but full of light effects and is a great cenote to see potsherds. At the surface the hydrogen sulfate cloud creates a surreal atmosphere. The maximum depth is 10m.
"Dream gate" it is one of the most impressive cenotes; this is the reason why it has been featured in different TV documentaries, BBC being the most outstanding. Located near Dos Ojos, this cavern offers charming dives that give us the feeling like we are flying in between columns and thousands of fine stalactites… You are required to have good buoyancy control to avoid damaging the delicate decoration and avoid stirring up the sediment. The maximum depth is 8m.
"Dos Ojos" is located about 50km south of Playa del Carmen. You must drive a 4km road to reach the parking lot. It is without a question the most touristic cenote and the one with the best facilities in the area. In fact you may find lots of local souvenirs in the restaurants and shops within the cenote area, they have everything! It is one of the best options to discover the beauties of the cenotes.
"Bat Cave" its is the darkest of the Dos Ojos dives, it is a series of rooms and chambers that lead to an air dome where you can find some light filtrations. The decorations and the bats that make of this cavern their home turn this cenote into one of the best in the area. Cave divers can explore more than 60km of lines interconnected with more than 25 cenotes, in fact Dos Ojos is one of the longest cenotes systems in the Yucatan peninsula.
"The Pit" is a deep gash in the jungle floor located 3km from Dos Ojos. The entrance is steep and narrow. We descend in the middle of the cenotes through a shallow halocline towards the hydrogen sulfate cloud at 30m deep. Like in Angelita, the tree branches eerily protrude from the cloud; but the dive doesn't stop there, we can find stalactites of different shapes and sizes.
"Tajma Ha" is located a little bit further down, about 26km south of Playa del Carmen; during the summer, you can see where the light enters through the ceiling holes and penetrates in the water like laser beams. Along the cavern floor you can find hundreds of stalactites lying in the sediment as well as a great quantity of fossils. In the deeper areas the halocline creates a very interesting mirror effect.
"El Eden" o "Ponderosa" located 25km south of Playa del Carmen. It is a beautiful and big cenote that looks like a pool lost in the middle of the jungle. Big rocks covered with moss and plants are home to a variety of fish, freshwater eels and abundant aquatic life.
"Chikin Ha" is located around 25km south of Playa del Carmen. This is the first cenote in a system that connects several cenotes through more than 10km of underwater passages. During the dive you will be making your way near "Rainbow Cenote". Upon reaching a depth of about 10m, strange visual effects can be seen as salt and fresh water start to mix; this is called a halocline.
The first room is relatively large with much light entering from the ceiling. In the second room, a portion of the ceiling collapsed creating an air dome where divers can surface allowing them to be at the same level of beautiful stalactites. In a sunny day, the light effects are amazing. You can see the halocline in this cenote. With its large rooms and a maximum depth of 12m, Chac Mool is perfect for any novice cavern diver.
"Kukul Kan" is part of the Chac Mool system, the access to this cenote is through a beautiful pond on the side of the cenote. For this dive we have to go through a large cavern that goes around the entire cenote. The light effects are impressive. Take a moment to look towards the ceiling at the entrance to see the colors of the rainbow.
"Zapote" is located on "The Cenote Route", it is a dive for experience divers due to its depth. Once you reach 30m deep you will find a room in the shape of a bell. In between a halocline and a hydrogen sulfate cloud you can see lots of very impressive formations. This cenote is full of amazing formations generally described as bells or elephants feet.
"Kin Ha" located south "The Cenote Route", on the way that goes from Puerto Morelos to Leona Vicario. This is a dive for experienced divers due to its depth, it can go deeper than 40m. However we advice you to ascend until 10m deep to enjoy the unique formations and amazing light effects
The Cenotes are more than 10,000 sinkholes spread throughout the jungle in the Yucatan peninsula. This cenotes mark the entrance to an underwater system unique in the world, due to its shape, complexity and ramifications. One system corresponds to two cenotes at least, connected by underwater rooms. What makes this cenotes systems unique is the length of their tunnels and the underwater caverns. For instance, Sac Actun has about 248km in underwater tunnels and Dos Ojos 83km.
The Yucatan peninsula is a limestone plateau originated for the decomposition of marine organisms millions of years ago, like corals, shells and urchins, that once dead created this limestone material highly porous and soluble, this allowed rain water to filtrate through the rock creating cracks, cavities, and eventually caverns and tunnels. In some of this caverns, the ceiling collapsed due to the weight of the jungle around it, creating an access to the exterior.
It is important to know that Mayans live in the Yucatan peninsula to this day. Around 700 thousand people speak the Mayan language in the area. The term "cenote" comes directly from the Mayan word "tzonot" that means "sacred well". For the ancient Mayans, this wells where not only to provide potable water to drink, cook or to bath in it, but they were also sacred locations; they saw these tunnels and passageways to Xibalba, the world of the dead. They performed some ceremonies and funerary rituals in the cenotes, in which we can see to this day human and animal skulls and bones, funerary vessels, totems and shells. For the ancient Mayas, cenotes were the home of the Alux, the forest spirits. To this day Mayan people still ask these spirits permission to enter the cenotes and they make fruit and flower offerings, especially on the west side of the peninsula. All of this adds up to the strength of these dives tinged with spirituality.

The Research and Development Tax Credit is a tax incentive to encourage businesses and companies of all sizes to conduct research and development in the United States, according to AlliantGroup. When a company invests in certain research and development activities, it qualifies for the credit, which lowers the amount of tax the company pays, according to the Tax Foundation.
The Internal Revenue Service typically considers research and development expenditures as capital expenses, but its research and development tax credit rules allow qualified business and corporate taxpayers to deduct their expenditures as business expenses, according to the IRS. The taxpayers can claim the research and development credit against their tax liability and combine the credit with other parts of the general business credit.
Companies with laboratory scientists are not the only ones eligible to take advantage of research and development tax credits, notes AlliantGroup. Based on the Internal Revenue Code definition of research and development, many businesses and industries can qualify for the tax credits. The manufacturing, architecture, food and beverage, tool and die, and agriculture industries are among those having common practices that make them eligible for the tax credits.
Research and development tax credit supporters contend the credits encourage research that typically does not produce short-term economic benefits, but does produce long-term societal benefits, explains the Tax Foundation. Tax credit opponents contend that instituting the credits, especially at the state level, gives government agencies the power to decide what research is beneficial and that the credits make the tax system more complicated.

The myCharge Hub 6000 is a worthy successor to the myCharge Peak 6000 battery pack that we reviewed a while back. Lets face it, battery packs are becoming a dime a dozen these days, so it's becoming more and more difficult to stand out. Fortunately, myCharge's The Hub 6000 manages to offer something unique, and that is because its design packs in pretty much everything you could want in a versatile battery pack.
If you take a look at the landscape of battery packs out there, most external battery packs that don't double as cases, just pack in 2 USB ports for you to plug in a cable with for charging. That system is pretty convenient because it offers support for most devices, but it's also inconvenient because that means that you have to remember to carry around all of the necessary cables. So not only is that irritating, but it also can get messy in your bag. MyCharge solves this problem by offering a built-in Lightning cable, built-in Micro USB cable, and even a built-in USB port – for support for just about any non standard device. To top it all off, the device also offers a dedicated wall prong for fast charging the device. Again, this last feature of having a built-in wall prong is something that most external battery packs lack.
So you're on the road and you and two of your friends' devices are dying? No Problem. You can actually charge three devices into the Hub 6000 – all at once! Yet again, this is another way that the Hub 6000 wipes the floor with the competition, and that is that most other battery packs can only charge 2 devices at once.
Furthermore, MyCharge has not only made sure to include all of the important connectors, but they have also made sure that the design keeps all of the connectors nice and protected. They have also included a convenient battery indicator that lights up to indicate that there is power left in the device. Unfortunately, this battery indicator does now offer an indication of how much charge capacity is left in the device.
And when it comes to charging capacity, the Hub 6000 offers 6,000 mAH of power. According to MyCharge, That is enough for nearly 27 hours of additional smartphone use, but that timing will vary according to what device you're charging. If you're using an iPhone 5, that is about 3 full charges. Oh, and the device comes charged out of the box to boot!
Our biggest gripe however with the Hub 6000 device is that it's a bit heavier than some other battery packs we've tested. However, myCharge does offer the smaller capacity Hub 3000, which is quite a bit smaller and lighter, but lacks a wall prong. That said, even though the Hub 6000 is a bit hefty, it's a fair trade off for all of the features it packs in.
MyCharge has not only managed to be one of the first out the door with a lightning battery pack, but they have also managed to wipe the floor with the competition when it comes to versatility. While we do wish that the device was a bit lighter, and also more affordable, you can't deny the fact most of the competing battery packs that are over 3000 mAH do not offer as much versatility and innovation as the Hub 6000 does. All in all, the Hub 6000 truly is the "Swiss Army Knife of portable power devices." The Hub 6000 retails for $99 and will be available soon.
The Good: While most battery packs top out at – the Hub 6000 can charge 3 devices at once! Design packs in every connection you can want – including lightning and a wall prong. Comes pre-charged out of the box. Super smart design with battery indicator, also protects the connectors.
The Bad: On the pricey side for a 6,000 mAH battery pack. A bit heavy. Battery indicator does not indicate remaining power percentage.

Today is a special day. Not only is it the birthday of England's finest writer, William Shakespeare, it also marks the 30th birthday of the ZX Spectrum - a plucky British product that went on to become the best-selling consumer computer in the world.
It offered high-resolution colour graphics and sound. But one of its main strengths over its closest rivals was its affordability - a principle in which Sir Clive Sinclair, the man behind Spectrum computers, firmly believed. The ZX base model sold at a reasonable &#Array;125, while the 48k model went for &#Array;175. The high-end model was still much cheaper than the BBC Micro (&#Array;299/&#Array;399) and Commodore 64 (&#Array;299).
The ZX Spectrum was also much more elegant than its competitors. Simplicity is often regarded as the highest form of sophistication, and the ZX Spectrum, with it's thin black case and elegant keyboard, made it stand out in the marketplace.

Painting leads me to my next painting and on it goes.
I learned early that my painting process is a tug and a push and not necessarily a peaceful and serene pursuit. A stint in front of the easel for me is a fight to the end and once I had accepted this problematic reality a negotiated harmony fell into place. Adversarial harmony is better than no harmony at all.
For me the method of painting is the tools and tricks. I find with paint and brush that an image can be moulded as if you were sculpting it with clay. Every time I touch the surface of a canvas there is a push and pull of the image. This is the delight that I receive when painting at my easel.
I refer to myself as a painter that is always trying to develop an artist. Having played the guitar since high school I have found that I will never really finish learning how to play the guitar. There is always something more. This is the same with my paintings. Painting has this quality of infinite leaning that gives me a great satisfaction that always keeps me interested and progressing forward.
"There is always more for me to learn".

My new "I don't know what to buy them gifts"
Friday 14 May, 2010
Hi Nancy and Bob,
I just had to let you know that I love the Tree of Remembrance ball, as well as the oil lamp and heart, that I purchased. The detail and crafting is very nice. How excited I was that they arrived in perfect condition and when indicated on the order sheet. My friend was totally in awe this morning when I gave the ball to her (in memory of her brother).
When looking for the stands, I didn't look in the right spot and ordered the brass one but the 6" ball was way too heavy for that--I'll keep it for something else though. I'm having her decide how she'd like to hang hers and I'll reorder it after that.
Thanks for the vast selection you offer. I feel it was a great gift to give instead of flowers or fruit, as it will be ever-lasting. I'm actually giving out the information to many of my friends as a suggestion in the future should they need a special gift for someone.
Take care and may your business continue to thrive in this economy.

text: My wife plays a game on her iPhone all the time. It's called shake n spell. It's not a facebook game but you can link it to your facebook profile. So she got on this morning to play a game and when she was looking for someone to challenge, she saw that someone was using her facebook profile picture as their picture! This is a picture that she just started using a few days ago. I instantly started laughing and wondering how this person is going to try making money from this game! Well she's already gone to the shake n spell website and reported this person. Now I have to try and figure out if there is anyway I can figure out if this person has a facebook profile. I don't think I'll be able to though since it's not a facebook game, it's an iPhone game that you can link to a facebook profile. But the username for this game can be anything, it doesn't have to be the same name as your facebook profile. I told her not to worry about it, since they probably aren't trying to do anything illegal with it, they probably just needed a picture of a hot girl. I told her she should feel flattered by it. It's always funny when what we do comes back around and is used against us! P.S. If I find out what this person's facebook profile is, don't get mad if it's yours but I have to get it deleted.

© A page from my sketch book
Want to be the rockstar of the sketch book world? Then this is a project you want to be a part of. Like it says on their website "Its like a concert tour but with sketch books".
I first heard of it while chatting with a young artist and docent from a art museum at Starbucks. She was very excited about this project and her description and enthusiasm got me interested in it too. I immediately registered for it and opted for a random selection of a theme.
Finally got my sketch book in mail and my theme is 'Down your Street'. Now I am looking forward to some sketching fun. My first destination, the farmers market round the corner, down the street from home. I will keep you all posted on my progress.
If you want to know more about this project then just click on the image of 'The Sketch Book Project' on the right side of this page. It will take you to the official website of this creative project.

5 Things You Didn't Know a Fitness Tracker Could Do
by Rachelle Dragani
There's more to fitness trackers than just, well, tracking fitness. These connected solutions are affordable and easy to integrate into your lifestyle, and they do much more than just count your steps. From helping you monitor diet and sleep to encouraging some friendly competition between active friends, there are several ways that fitness trackers can guide you towards an active, well-rested and overall happier lifestyle. Read on to learn a few of the ways a top fitness tracker can enhance your well-being.
1. It can help you analyze your sleep. Top fitness trackers are designed for both daytime and nighttime use in order to help you monitor your sleep patterns. Sure, it's easy enough to wake up and recognize that you've had a restless night, but fitness trackers provide users with more in-depth information about the quality of their slumber. In the morning, you can open your device's sleep-tracking app to check out how many hours you were in different sleep cycles, including REM. Once you track some good and bad nights of sleep, you should be able to figure out the daily habits (such as exercise or caffeine intake) that contribute to the quality of each night's rest.
2. It can remind you to get moving. You've probably heard all about the dangers of being stationary. Often, spending too many hours per day sitting in a cubicle, car or couch without movement can lead to overall poor health and sluggishness. Top fitness trackers are proactive in making sure you get moving. You can set a reminder so that every 30 minutes, a gentle buzz on your wristband encourages you to get up and do something, even if it's as simple as walking to the kitchen for a glass of water, so you don't get those sedentary blues.
3. It can encourage friendly competition. Fire up that top fitness tracker and get your friends to do the same. Then, connect with them via the accompanying smartphone app, check your friends' progress and set up challenges. Maybe the last person to hit 200,000 steps buys the first round of drinks next weekend. It's the perfect incentive to light a little fire under a stuck-in-a-rut exercise routine.
4. It can help you monitor your daily calories. A top fitness tracker is easily synced with apps that help you track caloric intake and diet. The integration here is what's important: data regarding your daily activity, everything from steps taken to sleep and workouts, is essential for determining what kind of calories you should put into your body. This is especially helpful if you're working towards nutritional goals such as putting on muscle, or adjusting your diet while training for a triathlon.
5. It can draw a map of your walks or runs. If you're the kind of runner who sets off on foot without knowing exactly what path you'll take, you need a fitness tracker that can help you on your way. Some fitness trackers use GPS data to track your path. That not only means your exercise info is more accurate, but also that you can map out your favorite routes and save them for later or suggest them to friends. Plus, this feature allows you to integrate your music player with the activity tracker, so you can run free to your favorite tunes.
Counting your steps is one way to see just how much you're doing each day. To get a better idea of your daily activity and to figure out what steps you can take to be your healthiest self, you need much more information than just your step count. A fitness tracker can help you monitor your calories and sleep quality, as well as your activity level, to give you a full picture of your health progress. Your first day with a top fitness tracker will be the first day of the rest of your life.

Wow, remember back in 2005 when this song came out from an animated
And it was just amazing that Damon Albarn from Blur was making such great music on the side
Then their second album featured just as many awesome songs
Tomorrow Comes Today
On Melancholy Hill
Jamie Hewlett was disappointed that not everything on Plastic Trees was animated. See this video
And thus, here's probably the last Gorillaz music video you'll ever see
Speaking of Gorillaz, it looks like the reported falling out between Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett in 2011 may have been true, despite representatives squashing those rumors at the time. Albarn called the band's future "unlikely" and said that it was Hewlett's decision to end the band. He also hinted that Hewlett's anger likely came from the lack of visuals on the Plastic Beach tour: "The music and the videos weren't working as well together, but I felt we'd made a really good record, and I was into it. So we went and played it." Gorillaz' "DoYaThing", the Converse song featuring James Murphy and Andre 3000, just came out in February.Farewell Gorillaz. You were probably one of my favorite bands of the 00's.

The color he chose-Sugar Cane 101-is the same one used by "Sex & the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker in a $60 million campaign from Publicis Groupe's Publicis USA, New York, that has helped propel Nutrisse sales well beyond expectations. For the 52-week period ended July 15, Nutrisse racked up sales of $51.9 million, up 36.9% from the same period a year ago, according to Information Resources Inc.
The campaign targets women over 30 by touting a gentler conditioner-based formula to cover gray hair with sexy colors. The timing of signing Ms. Parker was a coup for Mr. Patel, 35, who says: "She sets trends, she's approachable and she has a warm personality that fits perfectly with Garnier."
Before joining L'Oreal in 1994, Mr. Patel worked at Procter & Gamble Co. handling fragrance brands. Recently, he was promoted to general manager of L'Oreal's Maybelline Worldwide. And these days Mr. Patel says he's trying out a plum tone from Garnier's hair color line.

MILAN (Reuters) - The Italian economy could grow above 1.5 percent this year, Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan told La Repubblica in an interview.
"Even though I've seen forecasts that indicate a slowdown in 2018-19, we expect that the recovery will be sustainable," Padoan told the paper. "Already for this year there is a possibility that matters could improve: I think growth, in the end, could exceed 1.5 percent," he said.
The minister added that the case of Banca Carige and Creval, which have to issue shares to stave off the threat of being wound down, were not a sign of a banking system in difficulty.
He also added authorities had supervised Italy's banking sector in an adequate manner but bad management at lenders should have been dealt with in a more decisive way.

Jaunpur: A local court on Saturday directed the police to register a case against social activist Anna Hazare for allegedly showing disrespect to the National Flag during his visit here on July 29.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Narendra Bahadur Prasad directed the Line Bazar police to register the case and probe the matter.
The court`s direction came on a petition filed by a local lawyer Himanshu Srivastava.
In his complaint, Srivastava has alleged that Hazare had come to a college here to address a meeting during his `Jantatra Yatra` on a vehicle, on which a full size national tricolour was pasted. The meeting went on till 8 PM and this amounted to showing disrespect to the flag.
Earlier, a delegation of local lawyers had also met the Superintendent of Police stressing that though they were supporters of Hazare`s anti-corruption campaign and had therefore gone to the meeting, they were hurt by the disrespect of the National Flag at the meeting and demanded lodging a case.
According to the rules, the national tricolour should be hoisted from sunrise to sunset and not beyond that.
