This document discusses optimizing tax savings through the IC-DISC export incentive. It provides an overview of the IC-DISC, which allows qualifying export income to be taxed at a lower rate of 20% rather than the typical corporate rate of 39.6%. A detailed transactional analysis of export sales can maximize tax savings by increasing the IC-DISC benefit beyond the standard 4% of export sales or 50% of export income formulas. Care must be taken to properly set up the IC-DISC entity initially, but ongoing administrative costs are typically minimal as most needed data is already tracked.
Check Point Software Technologies reported record financial results for the first quarter of 2009. Revenues increased 2% to $195 million compared to the first quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP operating income reached a record $109 million, representing 56% of revenues. Net income was $80.9 million and non-GAAP earnings per share increased 6% to $0.45. Cash flow from operations was a record $172 million. Check Point also introduced a new software blade architecture and acquired Nokia's security appliance business.
Este documento resume varios temas relacionados con la naturaleza. Explica que la naturaleza se refiere al mundo físico y a la vida en general. Describe a la Tierra como el quinto planeta del sistema solar y el único lugar con vida humana. Define los ecosistemas como comunidades naturales con interacciones entre organismos y flujos de energía. Finalmente, señala que la ciencia ve a la naturaleza como materia que obedece leyes naturales, y que la materia puede convertirse en energía y viceversa.
Este documento trata sobre la argumentación. Explica que argumentar es presentar razonamientos para defender una idea u opinión con el fin de persuadir. Los tipos de argumentos incluyen autoridad, hechos, racionales y ejemplificaciones. También habla sobre las refutaciones y falacias, como sobrenombres negativos y ataques personales. El documento proporciona la estructura básica para un ensayo y discute la importancia de la introducción, el desarrollo y las conclusiones.
This document provides instructions for creating a watercolor effect in Photoshop. The steps include:
1. Selecting the background of a portrait and adding a vector mask.
2. Placing the portrait on a blank canvas.
3. Desaturating and adjusting levels of the portrait.
4. Creating brush presets and using them to reveal the portrait under a layer mask.
5. Adding watercolor splatter effects and a gradient overlay layer to complete the watercolor look.
Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness characterized by psychosis, disorganized personality and thinking, and loss of contact with reality. It has multiple potential causes including biochemical, genetic, stress, and physiological factors. Symptoms can be positive such as hallucinations or negative such as reduced emotional expression. Treatment involves medications, therapies, and programs to help patients function independently. The film A Beautiful Mind accurately portrayed some experiences of schizophrenia including obsessive hallucinations, and showed that those with the illness can still live normal lives with treatment and awareness of their condition. Nurses must understand schizophrenia from the patient's perspective to effectively support them.
The National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) is a youth uniformed organization under the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Home Affairs in Singapore that aims to develop responsible citizens. Students who join NPCC participate in a variety of activities including lectures on national education, total defense, law, and community service. These activities teach students values like care, empathy, and civic duty while also building confidence, resilience, and leadership skills. Membership is open to Singaporean and permanent resident students in secondary schools that offer NPCC.
The National Cadet Corps (NCC) pledge is for members to be loyal to Singapore and the Corps, and maintain high standards of discipline and performance to better serve the country. The NCC's vision is to nurture responsible, resilient and resourceful cadets to become successful citizens through challenging military activities. Its core values include responsibility, resilience, leadership, discipline, commitment, care for fellow cadets, an adventurous spirit, and achieving high standards in drills, shooting and competitions.

Monitor your car from the cloud! DIY Telematics and the Internet of ThingsTom Gersic
My Dreamforce session on DIY Telematics for OBD-II with a Raspberry Pi.
What if your car was connected to the Cloud, and had been logging sensor data for the past 30 days? What if it could automatically file a Case with your local dealership with the Diagnostic Trouble Codes from your car and all that log data attached? What if the Service department could give you a call to schedule an appointment to get it fixed, so you don’t even have to remember to call them? Since they have all the automotive log information they need to diagnose the problem before you even show up, they can even tell you what’s wrong over the phone and quote you an estimate for the repair.
Here’s a Raspberry Pi DIY project that does just that.

Beyond Software: The Role of Content & Connectivity in Global Trade ManagementIntegration Point
This document discusses the importance of investing in a global trade management (GTM) solution. It states that manual processes are no longer sufficient for managing global trade operations due to increasing regulatory requirements from government agencies. A GTM solution requires three critical components: compliance, content, and connectivity. Compliance focuses on automating customs and regulatory activities. Content includes up-to-date trade information for all countries a company operates in. Connectivity is important for linking with trading partners and customs authorities but is challenging for companies to manage themselves. A GTM SaaS solution can help companies by continuously updating content and facilitating necessary connectivity between parties.

25. ACE Account Best Practices
+1 (416) 510-8800 3RDWAVE.COM INFO@3RDWAVE.COM
26. ACE Account Best Practices
Getting The Most From The ACE System
Ensure you perform a regular review of your trade activity, and make any necessary updates to
your ACE account.
Cross check brokerage reports vs. ACE activity vs. company records (i.e. new company activity).
The Trade Account Owner (TAO) has responsibility (not the US Government) to ensure you have your
ACE account created and/or updated.
If you have an existing ACE import account, ensure all of your businesses and locations are also
registered for exporter visibility.
This does not take place by default because you have an existing account
Do not make a registration decision based on import activity. The two activities are distinctly different.
Any entity can be an exporter of record or USPPI
List all of your address locations for “exporter” to ensure full trade visibility
+1 (416) 510-8800 3RDWAVE.COM INFO@3RDWAVE.COM
27. ACE Account Best Practices
Account Health Check
Check your account on a regular basis to ensure:
Accurate authorized users (i.e. change in staff or roles and responsibilities)
User access (correct granting of visibility and privileges)
EINs registration and visibility
• Once an EIN is added to the primary account, you must manually add it to the shared account holders
to grant visibility
+1 (416) 510-8800 3RDWAVE.COM INFO@3RDWAVE.COM
28. ACE Account Best Practices
Reporting
Important key point about visibility:
User should obtain the report data dictionary to understand the report data you’re pulling
Exports
Legacy data is immediately available for the export reports for the last five years plus the current year
Import
Reports in ACE will only reflect data from the date the EINs was added to your account.
