Congress has provided a number of tax incentives to encourage employers to provide employee education. This article discusses one of the most overlooked employer education tax incentive, Section 127 plans.Section 127 allows employers to create a program for providing employee education (up to $5,250 per year per employee), while permitting the employer a deduction and allowing the employees to exclude the amounts from their taxable income.Absent a Section 127 plan, the education tax rules can be a bit, well, confusing. Absent a Section 127 Plan (and assuming that the Section 117 scholarship provisions are not applicable), the cost for education provided by employers to employees is (generally) deductible by the employer as an "ordinary
Now you’re on the plane and you’ve had dinner; your eyes close as you drift into sleep, to dream of maharajas, elephants and computer geeks…
After sailing the skies for an interminably long time, you finally arrive in the Indian subcontinent. Hot, humid air surrounds you as you disembark from the aircraft; flocks of parrots and other exotic birds streak by overhead.
Immigration takes anything between 10 and 90 minutes depending on the inflow of passengers... it pays to move fast and get a good position in the line.
Customs is usually a breeze, since the officers are only after the big offenders (and hopefully you’re not one of them!). They usually wave foreign citizens right by since they know these visitors are potential customers.
Incidentally, from the moment you entered the terminal, surveillance has been on, but since it's hidden, you've no idea it's in place.
If you now walk straight out of the terminal, voracious taxi drivers will descend upon you en masse, much like vultures on an African kill, after which they will proceed to confuse and destroy your thinking process in their attempt to sell you a ride.
So don't venture outside unprotected. Buy a controlled-rate coupon inside the terminal at the 'prepaid taxi' counter for a taxi ride to your hotel. The salesperson will also assign a taxi and driver to you.
The prepaid taxi coupon is your body armor against those unregulated taxi-drivers... they will not come near you when they see that slip of paper in your hands. You can walk to your taxi without fear of attack.
Once you're at your hotel, you're in safe hands, because indeed, Indian business hotels are havens for travellers. Their managements are seriously concerned about guests' well-being and comfort; their environs are restful and healing.
Knock back your welcome drink and decompress. Once that’s done, gently channel your thoughts towards acquiring a vital necessity: a mobile phone with GSM connectivity.
If you are a seasoned traveller, you will have a 'tri-band' mobile, in which case all you have to do is buy a SIM card and a prepaid connection, which will cost you about US$35 (as of 2005) including nearly 250 minutes of talk time.
If you don't have a tri-band, buy an inexpensive GSM mobile for about $45 in addition to a SIM card. SIM cards and phones are available at any of the myriad phone shops in any Indian metropolis; your concierge will tell you where the nearest one is.

In any type of production facility, fire control encompasses a wide range of equipment or systems from building sprinklers to plant site fire departments. A spark detection/extinguishing system must be thought of as part of a plant’s overall security and safety network. Just as a residential alarm system provides protection to a homeowner, a spark detection system provides preventive protection against potential loss of human life, production facilities, equipment and costly downtime.Where do Spark Streams appear?Spark streams in dust collection systems are a very common danger. They are not easily detected and this means that they may exist but are not known! Consequently, attention is paid to a spark stream only when it is to

Incorporation is the process of setting up a corporate entity. During this process certain documents are filed with the authorities concerned. These documents provide general information about the entity, which is commonly known as a corporation.More specific information about a corporation is contained in certain other documents, which are often referred to as by-laws. Incorporation is useful for small business owners, as it protects them and other shareholders from certain liabilities. After incorporation of a business, the personal assets of shareholders are safe; business creditors cannot lay claim on their personal assets.But before you decide to incorporate your business, you should be aware that there are certain costs which you wi

Inaugurate your new phone by calling the vendor you came to see. Get to the vendor's office by car (yours or theirs, as long as it has air conditioning); other means of transport like auto rickshaws may look exciting but will likely result in a missed appointment...
When at the vendor's place, look for:
* Capacity: (workstations and people);
* Supervisory arrangements: (floor managers, project leaders, group heads);
* Security: (controlled physical access and password-protected network resources).
Most importantly, meet the person who will be in charge of the project you are thinking of giving the vendor. Is s/he articulate? Tech-savvy? Quality conscious? Deadline oriented? Easy to get along with? Is there a second line to take over if s/he is away?
You must of course also hand over a copy of your RFP and discuss each point in fine detail.
Bear in mind that most often, Indians are formal to begin with. If you invite the key people to a meal, they will be very happy to relate to you on a personal level... this is better for all parties concerned.
Conclude each visit by asking for your quotation within a specified timeframe; encourage the vendor to email you freely regarding any questions s/he may have.
At the end of a visit, ask yourself if you have a good feeling about the interaction. If the answer is an overwhelming “NO!”, you had better strike the vendor off the hopefuls list. For any other answer, keep them in the running.
Follow these steps for all the hopefuls, and do extensive Internet research on the final candidates from the broadband connection in your hotel room.
Great, the business part of your trip is over, it’s time for recreation!
There are many unusual things to see in any Indian city, and you’d best ask your mentor what these are. There’s no point seeing typical big-city sights… look for the ancient or the ethnic (Akbar’s tomb, Kerala waterways or the Hindu temple at Madurai, for instance).
Be careful when deciding what to eat or drink. Only eat in restaurants that are clean by your country's standards; stick to bottled water from reputed companies like Kinley or Aqua Fina. And no matter how badly you may be tempted, do not eat from those small roadside carts and kiosks!
