The Section 179 Deduction

Monday, November 16th, 2009

SOURCE: Section179.org

What is the Section 179 Deduction??
Most people think the Section 179 Deduction is some arcane or complicated tax code. It really isn’t, as the following will show you.

Essentially, Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment purchased or financed during the tax year. That means that if you buy (or lease) a piece of qualifying equipment, you can deduct the FULL PURCHASE PRICE from your gross income. It’s an incentive created by the US Government to encourage businesses to buy equipment and invest in themselves. It is sometimes referred to as the “SUV Tax Loophole” or the “Hummer Deduction” because many businesses have used this tax code to purchase qualifying vehicles (like SUV’s and Hummers.)

Teen Obesity Linked to Vitamin D Deficiency

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

iStock_000003725750XSmallObesity, especially teen obesity has numerous effects on physical and emotional health. Poor dietary habits, a lack of exercise and smoking all contribute to obesity. However, new findings suggest that a lack of vitamin D can also contribute to adolescent and teen obesity.

In addition, low levels of vitamin D can lead to high blood pressure and high blood sugar, which compound the health issues.

A new study by Jared Reis of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health said that teens in the study with the lowest vitamin D levels were more than twice as likely to have high blood pressure and high blood sugar. The teens were also four times more likely to have metabolic syndrome, defined as having three or more conditions that contribute to heart disease and diabetes – including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, big waists, and high cholesterol.

The use of NXT technology in ETS’ new E3 tanning beds is a testimony to the wide ranging application of NXT’s award-winning technologies. NXT speakers are built into the canopy, transforming it to a loudspeaker and providing a surround sound user experience while reducing the noise pollution throughout the tanning salon. Compatible with MP3, DMX, or other sound sources, the built-in NXT speakers also eliminate the need for costly and bulky sound systems, allowing for a more spacious environment. A keypad remote control is located just in front of the bed for easy access to the multiple functions of the beds, which are also equipped with illuminating ‘mood mode’ light effects that change colors and can be customized to fit the salon theme or personal preferences.
