Saving Money: Could You Benefit from the Savers Tax Credit?
Sign up for our FREE Monthly Email Newsletter
It's always worthwhile to plan for saving money, even when the stock market is tanking. The fact is that you don't need to put your money into anything risky—there are always savings accounts and certificates of deposit, for example. You may not earn much with these options, but you won't lose anything either.
Folks who want to save money but who don't earn very much money may even get a little incentive from Uncle Sam. The Savers Credit is designed specifically for people whose adjusted gross income is not more than $55,500 (married filing jointly), $41,625 (head of household), or $27,750 (single, married filing separately or qualifying widow/er).
This credit is worth up to $1,000 per person ($2,000 on a joint tax return). A credit is a refund of taxes paid, which means that it's worth more than a deduction.
How can you get this luscious gift from the IRS? All you have to do is contribute money to your IRA, 401(k) plan, or other retirement plan at work and then claim this credit using Form 8880. You must be 18 or older to qualify.
If you also take distributions from your retirement plan or IRA in the same year, you must deduct those distributions from the amount you contributed to the IRA or retirement plan. Essentially, your credit is based on your net contributions for the year.
What's the Savers Credit's catch? There usually is one, right?
Alas, when your income is low enough to qualify, you often have enough deductions (mortgage interest or medical expenses) or other credits (child tax credit or earned income credit) that wipe out your tax liability anyway.
The Savers Credit is a non-refundable credit. In other words, it is only designed to reduce your taxes. There is no refund once your tax liability is wiped out. And it doesn't carry over to the next year. It's a one-shot deal.
Most of the tax returns I see where the taxpayer's income is low enough to qualify end up not being able to use the Savers Credit at all. However, other tax professionals say they've seen the opposite effect, so, clearly, it's worth testing each tax return to see if you can use it.
And if you can't use the Savers Credit? At least you ended up setting some money aside for your own future.

"Pacify Enemy Leaders" Missing
The "Pacify Enemy Leaders" mission (the one that gets you dilithium for doing 3 arena PVPs) only shows up for me to take about once a month. I thought it was supposed to be a daily. As it's the only mission that rewards for PVP arenas (at least the only one I know of), I would like to be able to get it more often.
Does anyone else have this problem? |
Not anymore; but I think it wouldn't show on one character.
And as it turns out the reason it wouldn't show was because I didn't complete the initial k7 mission with Naomi Wildman on that character. Once I finished that one I got the daily. |
It's one of three dailies. Each day has a chance to be war zone, cap and hold or arena. Unfortunately random chance can make it appear to get stuck as sometimes you'll have a week straight of cap and hold.
The wrapper missions should still be available all day every day though (excluding war zone). |
first time in about a month i got the kerrat daily.
I can't remember the last time I got it...
...would be nifty if they were to add more themed warzones and have a daily that randomly selected one of them. Borg Warzone Undine Warzone Tholian Warzone Mirror Universe Warzone Dominion Warzone Tal Shiar Warzone Breen Warzone Etc, etc, etc Warzone... |
Considering the increasing number of ways that players can earn rewards from PvE, it would be nice if they would consider removing the randomness of PvP dailies. They could:
- Make all 3 available daily (yes, in addition to the wrapper missions) - Establish a preset rotation that cycles through each type every 3 days (Warzone, Arena, C&H, Warzone, Arena, C&H) The wrapper missions with rewards were a really great addition, but the Ker'rat wrapper was removed (and understandably so). Still, even though the zone needs some adjustments it would be nice to see that Daily more often too. |
All times are GMT -7. The time now is 12:26 AM. |

Revolution in Cairo
60 minutes
FRONTLINE dispatches teams to Cairo, going inside the youth movement that helped light the fire on the streets. We follow the "April 6th" group, which two years ago began making a bold use of the Internet for their underground resistance--tactics that led to jail and torture for many of their leaders. Now, starting with the "Day of Rage," we witness those same leaders plot strategy and head into "Liberation Square" to try to bring down President Mubarak. Also in this hour, veteran Middle East correspondent Charles Sennott of GlobalPost lands in Cairo for FRONTLINE to take a hard look at Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood--the most well-organized and powerful of the country's opposition groups--as a new fight for power in Egypt begins to takes shape.

Newsies on tour appeals to youth- and youthful dreams
Dan DeLuca is a dreamer.
Continue Reading
So is Jack Kelly, the 17-year-old leader of the news boys who sell papers on the streets of New York in Newsies the Musical.
"He's a dreamer," said DeLuca, 22.
"Jack is a charismatic, rebellious leader of the newsboys... the big brother who's charming and cocky."
DeLuca in real life may not be cocky or rebellious, but he's certainly charming and charismatic onstage in the national tour, which continues through Sunday at the Ohio Theatre.
"I'm such a Disney freak that to sing an Alan Menken song is a dream come true for me," DeLuca said.Posted by Michael Grossberg on January 14, 2015 06:29 PM -

Mark Mann: Noted play director tackles his first professional musical with Gallery Players' Fiddler on the Roof
Director Mark Mann learned something unexpected from his father that helped him direct with a deeper appreciation Fiddler on the Roof, which continues through March 17 in a Gallery Players production at the Jewish Community Center.

"I find it interesting that my father, who comes to see my plays, has probably seen Fiddler a dozen times in his life," Mann said.
"He said he could watch it every week, and I wondered why since he's not a theater guy but a retired policeman. But he has three daughters, and the story completely resonates with him."Posted by Michael Grossberg on March 06, 2013 05:25 PM -

Reynoldsburg native, script revisions make a difference in Shrek: The Musical
For those who saw Shrek: The Musical on Broadway, the current national tour will be intriguing for its differences – and notable improvements.
Continue Reading
Meanwhile, for a Reynoldsburg native who is playing one of the two leading roles, the tour's visit through Sunday at the Ohio Theatre represents a happy homecoming – and a chance to strut her stuff for family and friends.
Liz Shivener plays Princess Fiona, who develops a feisty relationship with the hulking green title ogre during their journey through a faraway kingdom.
"What's challenging is adding the truth to the slapstick and physical comedy, so that people laugh with you rather than at you," said Shivener, a Reynoldsburg native who graduated in 2009 from Otterbein University.

Broadway review: Dark 'Matilda' pushes boundaries of family musical
NEW YORK - You expect a family musical to be amusing, touching, even inspiring.
But disturbing?
Seriously disturbing?
Matilda, an award-winning London musical produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company, has arrived on Broadway to herald the expanded possibilities of children's fables.

Next to Normal: Pulitzer-winning musical worth a drive to Cincinnati
You'd think that central Ohio theater troupes would be eager to tackle the most recent musical to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama.
Continue Reading
Next to Normal only needs six characters to work its magic – wonderful, full-bodied characters that touch your heart and lift your spirits (not to mention taking you on a thrilling roller-coaster ride of emotions) – so it would seem like a do-able show that many smaller troupes might feel capable of tackling someday soon.
I've certainly been impatient for central Ohio audiences to see this powerful and poignant musical which touched me deeply when I saw it in New York.
Meanwhile, central Ohio theatergoers who don't want to wait for a local production have an enticing alternative: Drive about an hour and 45 minutes southwest to see the first professional U.S. production since the national tour at the Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati.

Not Chicago, the sassy Kander and Ebb musical about two women who get away with murder by manipulating the media and the justice system. Shadowbox Live's popular Sundays-only revisal continues through Nov. 11 at the Shadowbox Live Building.
"Although set back in the '20s, Chicago has a very current theme: There's good, bad and ugly, and not much has changed," said Julie Klein, who co-diirects with Stev Guyer.Posted by Michael Grossberg on November 05, 2012 01:43 PM -

Next to Normal? Xanadu? Caroline? Spider Woman? You may not have seen 10 notable musicals yet in Columbus, but local troupes would benefit from the excitement of their area premieres
As a new year begins, my wish is that central Ohio theatergoers will have a chance to see more interesting and attention-getting fare.
Continue Reading
Lord knows, the theater scene always can benefit from enhanced visibility.
And I've long felt that local theater troupes are missing good bets when they don't seize more opportunities to present the area premiere – or even the Ohio premiere or Midwestern premiere – of a notable work that's generated excitement and crowds elsewhere.
Few things fit that bill better than a musical that's been tried and tested and found worthy in a major theater center such as New York, London or Chicago.

"Everyone seems to have a really good time," Wolk said.
She's one of four new cast members who joined four returning cast members for the month-long October production, which continues with an expanded splatter zone and twice as much blood through Oct. 31 in the Riffe Center's Studio Two Theatre.
"I'm not at all a fan of science fiction or horror.... I didn't know entirely what I was getting into with the genre, but it's so campy and ridiculous and over the top that it's more fun than scary," she said.

Shadowbox's Scrooge may not be nice but the troupe's first holiday musical is family friendly
Tom Card inal's iconic title character may initially be a dislikable and greedy fellow.
After all, he is Scrooge.
But rest assured there's no profanity in his performance – or anyone else's in Scrooge, Shadowbox Live's version ion of the Leslie Bricusse musical adapted from Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol.
The veteran actor is playing the title role in Shadowbox Live's first holiday musical, which will open Sunday night (Nov. 27) and play Saturdays and Sundays through much of December at the Shadlowbox Live Building, 503 S. Front St.
"My Scrooge doesn't really like anyone," said Cardinal, 41.
"We don't have a lot of chances at Shadowbox to have such a dramatic arc where a character goes from being hardnosed and bitter to being open-hearted and reformed."

The troupe's first holiday musical also will be its first family-oriented production – which basically means its rated G and children are welcome.
(Quite a change of pace from Shadowbox's usual fare, which is rated R - or at the very least PG-13 - because of profanity and sexual innuendo.)
"Any time we do something new it lets people know that Shadowbox isn't just one thing. So we think our first family-friendly show will expand our audience base," Cardinal said.
"So many patrons are excited that they can finally bring their kids or nieces."
While the Broadway musical is traditionally presented with a Victorian-era setting, Shadowbox has updated the setting to be more contemporary while adding a rock orchestration to Bricusse's melodic score.
"We're tweaking the language so it doesn't sound Elizabethan while minimizing modern cultural references," director-producer Stev Guyer said.
"We're not trying to drag the show into the 20th century, but demonstrate that the ideas that permeate this classic are as true today as they ever were."
"This musical highlights the ideal that giving is better than receiving."
"Now that we've moved into our new space, we knew we wanted to do musicals year-round, which meant coming up with something we'd be happy with for the holidays...
This is the first truly G-rated show at Shadowbox, A Christmas Carol, the quintessential story for all ages, is 100 percent family-friendly."IF YOU GO

Aiming for $60 billion by 2023, Turkey R&D spending grows by a third
Investment in research and development (R&D) grew 29 percent in 2013 to reach TL 5.8 billion, though Turkey has a long way to go to reach its ambitious R&D targets for 2023.
R&D funding climbed to 0.37 percent of Turkey's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013.
This remains well below Ankara's goal of 3 percent by 2023, the year Turkey celebrates the centennial of the establishment of the republic. It is estimated that 3 percent of GDP will be $60 billion in 2023.
According to a Turkish Statistics Institute (TurkStat) study released on Wednesday, budget allocations for R&D amounted to TL 5.8 billion on R&D in 2013, an increase of 28.9 percent from 2012.
The study, based on data provided by public institutions, also shows that Turkey has allocated an estimated TL 5.52 billion for R&D for 2014.
The lion's share of public R&D funding -- 38 percent -- is allocated to universities, followed by the defense industry at 24.5 percent and industrial production and technology at 16 percent.
Indirect R&D support through tax incentives and exemptions, reductions in R&D workers' income taxes and social security contributions cost TL 923 million in 2013. Indirect R&D support has been estimated to be at TL 1.17 billion for the year 2014.

Significance and Use
The data obtained from the bearing test are the bearing ultimate and yield strength. The data provide a measure of the load-carrying capacity of a material edge loaded with a close-fitting cylindrical pin through a hole located a specific distance from the specimen edge.
Bearing properties are useful in the comparison of materials and design of structures under conditions where the pin is not restricted.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers a pin-type bearing test of metallic materials to determine bearing yield strength and bearing strength.
Note 1—The presence of incidental lubricants on the bearing surfaces may significantly lower the value of bearing yield strength obtained by this method.
1.2 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

A chef hailing from Bihar who claimed to be the original composer of the Oscar-winning 'Jai Ho' song from the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' was arrested on charges of threatening to burn alive the manager of music director A.R. Rahman here on Friday night.
According to police sources, Afroz Rasal Khan (30), of Bediya district, Bihar, went to the studio of Rahman in Dr. Subbarayan Nagar, Kodambakkam, and wanted to meet him. Even as the staff there explained that Rahman was out of the country, Khan who claimed to have composed 'Jai Ho' remained adamant.
"When studio manager Faizuddin (28) intervened, Khan threatened to burn him alive. Preliminary enquiry has revealed that Khan was in touch with Faizuddin for quite some time. About six months ago, Rahman had even agreed to meet him," Assistant Commissioner of Police (Ashok Nagar) K.N. Murali said.
Based on a complaint, police arrested Khan. "He works as a chef in a catering firm in Mumbai. We are coordinating with the Mumbai and Bihar police to check his antecedents. There was no damage to the studio," he said. Police have registered a case under Sections 448 (trespass), 294 (b) (using abusive language) and 506 (1) (intimidation) of IPC against Khan. The accused was produced in a city court and remanded to judicial custody, police sources added.

Christmas on the islands

Finally Martinna arrived with the van and I was done after 14 miles. I shuttled to the first rest stop where I drank some 7up.

5 of 10 Everyday Mathematics IOS Apps will be free until April 28, 2012
The publisher of Everyday Mathematics, McGraw-Hill is offering five of its ten EM game Apps for free until April 28, 2012. The following apps will be free and available via the iTunes App Store: Addition Top-ItTo learn more about the game apps and direct links to the free apps go to https://www.mheonline.com/apps/ My kids have used these games and they work on core skills in an entertaining way. Mind you, it's no Angry Birds, but perhaps 15 minutes of a math game to earn Angry Birds or similar education free gaming . . . (I posted this as a heads up a few days ago, but the deal is live now, so I'm reposting) |
Has anyone tried these? I did, last time they were free, and I found them to be a disgrace. They are not entertaining at all, they don't keep your progress, they don't challange you in any way, they don't adjust the difficulty level based on your performance. In short, I am sure a 3rd grader could code better "games" and learn way more in the process than by "playing" these useless ones, a disgrace really from such a big name as McGraw Hill.
Without being very smart phone friendly, but if you want your kids to learn easily and even in an entertaining way, try www.khanacademy.org from your computer (from your smartphone/iPod you should be able to see the instructional videos, but for some reason it doesn't always work). At www.khanacademy.org both you and your kid can set up accounts (or just use the Gmail or Facebook accounts) and then as a tutor of your kid you can see their progress, they receive badges for good activity, they will probably have fun while learning a lot. Disclaimer: I am not associated in any way with khanacademy.org. I just recently saw Salman Khan, its founder, featured in TIME magazine as one of the most influential persons of the year, characterization made by Bill Gates. Then I checked the website, did some practice tests, watched some videos, saw Salman Khan's talk at TED, I have been blown away.If you are not convinced yet, watch the TED talk first: http://youtu.be/gM95HHI4gLk, and then check out the website. EDIT: There seem to be a number of unofficial apps for iPhone/iPod that will display videos from Khan Academy. Just search the app store and see if you like any. I don't have an iPad but I saw one app mentioning that there is an official app for the iPad. EDIT 2: If you use your iPhone and you point the Safari browser to www.khanacademy.org, just switch to the full website (the last option, at the bottom of the mobile page). You will need to do a little zooming and panning, but everything seems to work fine, videos and practice as well. EDIT 3: Here is my original review for some of these McGraw-Hill apps after I tried them in September last year: Horrendous games
Thanks for the post, it sounded very good and I downloaded them all. I also trust the McGraw-Hill publishing... or I used to until I tried a couple of these games. I played the fraction comparison game and the "beat the computer" multiplication challenge and I think that these are not only among the worst games I have ever seen, but they are also of very little educational value. The fraction comparison works a bit as a solitaire card game, so it is a matter of chance to find the fractions that match (admittedly skill too, but you might have the skill and not find the right cards). It is also very annoying because it gives you the verbal and visual instructions before every game and you can not skip them. Also it is not rewarding at all because it doesn't record your high scores and it doesn't tell you when it's over either. The only option that you have is to start a new game when you realize that you are stuck with some cards that don't match. So it is not fun, it is unrewarding to play and of no value, educational or otherwise. The multiplication challenge (beat the computer) is poorly and very simply executed, basically all it does is to ask you to submit the correct result within a certain time frame. The result is a bit difficult to type (for an iPhone at least) and the computer does not adjust the difficulty based on your answers. For instance you answer 6x8 and then it gives you several multiplications by zero or ten. It also doesn't record the high scores, so just as the other game it isn't rewarding, it isn't fun, it is of very little if any educational value. Last edited by zseba; 04-25-2012 at 11:39 AM.. Reason: EDIT added info about khan academy |
zseba- Just wanted to thank you for posting the info on khanacademy.org. I took a look, it looks really great! I feel like passing it on to some teachers to have their kids who have a hard time w/ math. I might. But first I will look at more learning videos, really great. Thank you.
I use the apps mostly away from home, handing over the phone while waiting somewhere. They will not blow you away, but they are worthwhile, especially when free.
If people are looking for a good math helping site via a decent web browser, try https://www.xtramath.org/home/student_sign_in This site gives assignments based on where a kid is and only gets harder as the child masters a given level. Khan Academy is also an excellent site and hopefully education will adapt to his vision.
You are welcome. Bill Gates calls it the future of education and I personally agree with him. I think that also the higher education could benefit from a format similar to the one offered by the website. |
If kids actually play with them it's fine I guess. My worry was that these games would not keep children interested and even if they would, the educational value would be questionable. As for xtramath.org, it isn't as open as khanacademy.org is. I registered for a 9th grader, and when I logged in as her I have been given a ton of simple additions and then that was it... "see you tomorrow" the guy said, and logging out was the only option. I don't know how it goes further, but I can see few problems: -first, you don't need dozens of simple additions against the clock in order to assess the addition ability; they actually give 100 operations split in 2 sessions of 50 each, all the operations are fairly simple. Few operations of various difficulty levels would have sufficed in my opinion. If the kid can do the more complicated ones fast enough, you can probably stop the assessment early. -they seem to apply the "one size fits all" strategy, and this shouldn't be applied as much as it is now in classroom, much less if at all for individual study; I understand that they might adjust the practice sessions along the way, but only offering simple additions for the first day doesn't sound right to me. I for one mastered these simple additions when I was somewhere in the 2nd grade or earlier, as in the 2nd grade I mastered the simple (1 digit) multiplications. In the 9th grade I was struggling though to learn calculus, so I would have benefited from being able to jump straight to those lessons as I could at khanacademy.org I can not assess xtramath.org further at this point, but at first sight khanacademy.org seems to be more valuable and more effective. |

Watch Can We Help in high quality on iview
watch on iview
Glass eyes used to be made out of glass until WWII. At the time, all good glass came from Germany and due to the war; the supply of glass from Germany was restricted. This shortage drove some very clever dental technicians to come up with the techniques of making artificial eyes with acrylics which were used to make dental dentures at the time.
These days, 90% of the worlds artificial eyes are made of acrylic. The benefits of using acrylics mean that they dont break when they are dropped and can be fitted specifically to fit the eye socket. In comparison, a glass eye is blown to a generic shape.
Pete thought that the artificial eye would resemble the shape of an eye. Wrong Pete, artificial eyes have never been spherical. Jenny says that about 15 or 20 years ago, implants were invented that fit at the back of the eye socket, this is a round ball that fills in most of the shape of the eye socket. The ocularists then make a thin shell that fits over the implant at the back of the eye socket. The implant has muscles attached to it which means that artificial eyes have very good movement.
Artificial eyes are individually tailored which means that the process of making them is labour intensive.
The process commences with an impression of the eye being made. The ocularist and the patient have a sitting where the iris is painted. The iris button is embedded in the white mould derived from the impression, the mould is then painted in intricate detail.
There are no courses for ocularists; Jenny and her brother Paul were taught the art by their mother. It is no surprise that they are in high demand internationally and Jennys brother Paul Geelan travels to the Philippines and Bahrain to make artificial eyes and is even starting clinics in Dubai and Malaysia.
So there is only a very small market for glass eyes in Germany and other countries around the world. It may be time to rename glass eyes acrylic eyes!

A rare letter from the Chief District Court Judge
June 13th, 2014 at 9:00 am by David FarrarHat Tip: Whale Oil
It is rare for the Chief Judge to write a letter to the editor. She is obviously concerned that Labour's policy paints a false picture of the situation in Christchurch,
The key aspects if her letter are:
- A specialist list has been in place since February 2012
- Earthquake cases get priority over other civil cases
- Court cases get before a judge within 55 working days
- Of 76 cases filed, 43 have been disposed of of which only 1 went to a full hearing
- Of the remaining 33, 17 are on track for a negotiated settlement
- 10 further cases may be negotiated also
So basically there are possibly only six cases that may go to a full trial at the District Court.

Proton magnetic resonance data are presented for the hydrogen alloys of plasma-deposited amorphous boron, carbon, silicon carbide, and silicon nitride. Linewidth and lineshape analysis leads to the conclusion that hydrogen nuclei are clustered in a-Si/C:H, a-C:H, and a-Si/C:H. Both a-Si/C:H and a-C:H data show that the hydrogen exists in two phases. Modeling of line- widths in a-Si/C:H indicates that the two phases are heavily hydrogenated carbon clusters imbedded in a weakly hydrogenated a-Si lattice. Finally, evidence is presented for the presence of motionally narrowed hydrogen spectra in a-Si/N:H, a-B:H, and a-C:H. It is suggested that the hydrogen nuclei giving rise to these spectra are associated with disorder modes.

I played it, for a long time, from the "all paying" to the "hey see that, we have 1% of the game free", I've seen a lot of changes in the classes and gameplay (basically, all classes but archers got nerfed before they understood they overdid it).History : You are sent to seek the dragon's eggs (called Dofus) which are here and there in the world. You can chose between 14 or 15 classes (despise the world is named World of 12.. they added some after) which all have their specificities : range, dolls, time magic..Gameplay : The world is divided in a lot of minimaps, with groups of foes. The fights are turn-based, the quickest character begins, then the opposide side, then again the 1st caracter's side... If you begin for example, the turns are :youfoe1ally1foe2etcTeams of 8 max, once a player die his turn is automatically passed (so double turn for ennemy), and the pets take action right after you. Also, the turn is ruled by your movement points and action points. You have 3 MP and 6 AP base, and can gain some with items.Also, the skills are divided in 5 elemental attributes : fire (intelligence), wind (agility), water (luck) , earth and neutral (both strengh). The classes also have elemental affinities, so you can build a unusual character tpe if you want (will be very hard for a first character though)I think I resumed it pretty well..Ah also : the community is really childish and it's hard not to be spammed by RMT.

Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults
Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults (IIDCYA, Persian: كانون پرورش فكری كودكان و نوجوانان , Kanoon-e Parvaresh-e Fekri-e Koodakan va Nojavanan, better known as Kanoon) is an Iranian institution with a wide range of cultural and artistic activities in the field of mental and cultural development of children and young adults among its tasks.

In consequence of about four decades of active presence in the field of production of cultural commodities such as books, audio tapes, films and toys, IIDCYA is regarded by Iranian schoolchildren, teachers and parents as a trustworthy name; the brand of "Kanoon" is a guarantee of quality of the product. IIDCYA's official status and its numerous branches all over the country, along with the production of attractive, healthy and relevant products for all age groups, have caused these products to be well received in educational and family circles.
From the time of its founding in 1961, through production of artistic works, and organizing festivals, discussion panels, competitions and various conferences, as well as a variety of practical measures and consulting services, IIDCYA has answered an extensive part of the cultural and developmental needs of the children and young adults of our country. All this has been carried out in two main directions: activities "for children" addressing children and young adults directly, and activities "about children" with the purpose of promoting the knowledge of adults about the peculiarities of world of children. With a high average annual statistics in the fields of production of books, tapes and toys and a considerable investment in the fields of recreational and literary activities, these colossal task of culture-making and consolidation of cultural infrastructure is being pursued. 519 libraries and cultural centers with more than 2000 tutors throughout the country help to realize these goals.
Cinematic Affairs of IIDCYA is one of the main departments of the organization. Its brilliant achievements in the field of production of animation, documentary and fiction films, is such that not only in Iran, but also on international level, the look of "Kanoon" is recognized. The high international prestige of Iranian cinema today is indebted to filmmakers who started their work and grew in Kanoon or made some of their best works there.
Film productions[edit]
The following is a list of some of the main films produced in IIDCYA:
Films by Abbas Kiarostami[edit]

- The Axe (Ahmad Arabani).
The success of Children of Heaven in many International festivals and its candidacy for the Best Foreign Language Film of academy awards (Oscar) in 1999, was a significant achievement for Kanoon productions.
Because of this outstanding background and unrelented production of animation films in "Kanoon", its name has been on the top of the list of independent producers of excellent and unforgettable animation works. Since 1970, when first animations of "Kanoon" were produced, 180 animation films have been produced there and almost all of them have regarded artistic and noteworthy works of art in internal and international festivals. This, and also the need to exhibit and independently analyze the animation films produced by other state and private producers throughout the country in a systematic manner, holding of an international animation festival became part of the agenda of "Kanoon". The inaugural festival was held in February 1999 and it is scheduled to be held biennially afterwards.

yields a discrete wavelet data object with wavelet coefficients corresponding to wavelet index , wavelet wave, and wavelet transform wtrans.
yields a discrete wavelet data object assuming data dimensions .
Details and OptionsDetails and Options
- DiscreteWaveletData[{wind1->coef1,…},…] is always converted to an optimized standard form with structure DiscreteWaveletData[coefs,winds,…].
- The coefficients can be arrays of any depth, Image[…], Sound[…], or SampledSoundList[…] objects.
- The options used by the wavelet transform wtrans can also be used as options to DiscreteWaveletData.
- In standard output format, only an abbreviated wtrans, the number of refinements and dimension of the original data, is printed.
- Normal[DiscreteWaveletData[…]] gives a list of rules that gives the correspondence between wavelet index and the corresponding coefficient array .
- DiscreteWaveletData represents a wavelet decomposition tree, where each node holds wavelet coefficients. Each node in the tree has a unique wavelet index vector that can be used to access wavelet coefficients.
- A wavelet index wind is a vector of integers. The length of the vector represents the refinement level in the wavelet decomposition tree. For an index vector of length , the first integers indicate the parent node and the last integer indicates how the current node is related to the parent node.
- For one-dimensional data, the index wind consists of 0s and 1s. A 0 represents lowpass filtering, and a 1 represents highpass filtering.
- For -dimensional data, the index wind consists of integers from to . Each integer represents a vector of operations performed along each dimension of the data, where the exact correspondence is given by MapThread[Rule,{Range[0,2^n-1],Tuples[{lowpass,highpass},n]}].
- The wavelet index wind can be used to extract wavelet coefficients from a DiscreteWaveletData object dwd. The following specifications can be given:
dwd[wind] extract coefficients corresponding to wind dwd[{wind1,wind2,…}] extract several wavelet coefficient arrays dwd[wpatt] extract all coefficients whose wind matches the pattern wpatt dwd[All] extract all coefficients dwd[Automatic] extract coefficients used in the inverse transform - By default, coefficients are returned as a list of rules .
- can be used to control the output form. Possible include:
"Rules" rules "Values" coefficients only "Inverse" inverse transform individual coefficients "ListPlot" simple list plots for 1D coefficients "MatrixPlot" simple matrix plots for 2D coefficients "Image" images for image coefficients "Sound" sound objects for sound coefficients "SampledSoundList" sampled sound objects for sound coefficients - Overall properties can be obtained from DiscreteWaveletData[…]["prop"].
- DiscreteWaveletData[…]["Properties"] gives a list of properties available for the DiscreteWaveletData object.
- Properties related to transform coefficients include:
"BasisIndex" wavelet indices used for inverse transform "Dimensions" give the dimensions of wavelet coefficient groups "EnergyFraction" fraction of energy in groups of coefficients "Padding" the padding used to transform data "Refinement" the number of refinement levels performed "Transform" type of wavelet transform {"TreeView",pos} tree view of decomposition, with pos as in TreePlot "Wavelet" wavelet family used "WaveletIndex" list of all wavelet indices - Properties related to input data include:
"DataDimensions" dimensions of original data "DataChannels" the number of channels of data "DataWrapper" wrapper function applied to data after reconstruction - Properties unique to packet transforms include:
"BestBasisBlockView" block grid view of best basis "BestBasisCostValues" cost value for each wavelet coefficient "BestBasisCostTable" formatted cost value table - Properties available for dwd from WaveletThreshold include:
"ThresholdValues" threshold values for each wavelet coefficient "ThresholdTable" formatted threshold values - The following options can be given:
Method Automatic method to use Padding "Periodic" how to extend data beyond boundaries SampleRate Automatic sample rate to use for sound data WorkingPrecision MachinePrecision precision to use in internal computations - The settings for Padding are the same as those available in ArrayPad.

Solar-Powered Laptop with Dual-Sided Display Detailed in Apple Patent
Apple has been awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (via AppleInsider) detailing an "electronic device display module" for a laptop that would include the ability to act as a secondary rear display featuring touch controls. The patent also details a photovoltaic system located in the display unit which could power the device with solar energy. The patent, which was originally filed in 2012, details a portable computer that would encompass both upper and lower housings, consisting of materials such as metal, ceramic, carbon fiber, and glass. The rear housing of the computer would feature a logo similar to Apple's current line of MacBooks, but would be made of a patterned ink layer instead of a plastic material. The electrochromic glass that could be integrated into the rear display is also detailed, as the glass would receive signals from light sources with the ability make itself opaque or translucent depending on user input. In theory, this would allow the rear display to remain hidden from view when not in use, which would assist in preserving battery life and privacy. Quote:
It is unknown whether Apple plans to create such a product or not, but the company has researched similar technology before. A patent in August 2012 detailed significantly enhanced iPad Smart Covers with secondary displays and solar cells, and a patent in 2008 showed the company's interest in producing solar LCD powered iPods, iPhones, and laptops. Other reports on Apple's interest in solar-powered devices have also popped up on numerous occasion throughout the years, though it is unclear as to whether Apple is ready to make a serious attempt at integrating the technology into its products or is still focused solely on researching methods.

I can see a future product doing away with the keyboard and track pad, it takes up a lot of space which could incorporate a iPad like screen, possibly morphing both iOS and OSX into one operating system, keeping the functionality of the MacBook. Even modifying programs for touch, like FinalCut Pro, iPhoto, etc. Call it the MacPad or PadBook what ever you prefer. Slap a $1600 price tag onto it, and market it for consumer use. Now you got yourself a new product line.

Really? I'm not. Think about it, if a solar panel were to be on an iPhone it would have to be on the back. When you're using it your holding the back, when you're not, its usually in your pocket. When its on a table or bench where it has access to light you're usually home, so you may as well be re charging it.

IMO, solar technology would be awesome in that it cold extend the batter to true all day power for a computer (10 hours is not all day). However, the technology is just now getting to a conversion rate that would allow for it to work in indoor spaces. I think that more work and evolution is needed before it is Apple ready, but I support the idea of harnessing the sun. Not sure that works for a phone that is in your pocket most of the time. Maybe for an ipad, but that would really need to be built into the cover not that the tablet itself.

Apple will never make this
Yet another example of Apple squashing innovation by protecting themselves. Apple will never make a solar powered laptop and do something as cumbersome as putting screens on both sides of a surface. But they are ensuring nobody else will either.
I know Apple is innovative and comes out with neat stuff, but this whole patent war has to end soon as the whole point of patents are to share innovation, not suppress it. Apple rarely, if ever, cross licenses their patents and IP which is a shame because Apple sits on a large stockpile of potentially great ideas that will never see the light of day (excuse the pun). |

"in theory" this may work...
but in reality, will it ? All i gotta say about this is its good for solar, but don't expect to be of any use in a dark room/dim for a extended period of time. Anything that doesn't require electricity i'm not interested, and i'll say the word "limited" again.. I can see a use for this in other areas, but i'm not one of them.

SYNOPSIS The goal of Computational Science Training for Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (CSUMS) is to enhance computational aspects of the education and training of undergraduate students in the mathematical sciences -- mathematics and statistics -- and to better prepare these students to pursue careers and graduate study in fields that require integrated strengths in computation and the mathematical sciences. The core of the activity is long-term research experiences for cohorts of at least six undergraduates. Projects must focus on research topics that require interplay between computation and mathematics or statistics. They should expose students to contemporary mathematics, statistics, and computation, addressed with modern research tools and methods. That is, projects must be genuine research experiences rather than rehearsals of research methods. Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged, and appropriate mentorship from the disciplines involved is welcomed. In addition, we expect that projects will strengthen the research and education capacity, infrastructure, and culture of the participating institutions. To this end, we welcome projects that create models for education in the mathematical sciences and influence the direction of academic programs for a broad range of students. CSUMS is a joint effort of the Education and Human Resources (EHR) and the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) directorates at the National Science Foundation (NSF).
