How to Burn Photos to a CD

The following instructions explain how to burn photos to a CD using a Windows-based computer. Step 1. Double-click the "My Computer" icon on your desktop to open up Windows Explorer. Step 2. Find the photos you plan to burn to the CD. Step 3. Insert a blank CD into your CD-burning drive. A window should pop up to ask how to open the CD. Choose "Open Writable CD Folder Using Windows Explorer". Step 4. You should now have two windows open: The one where you have the pictures you want to burn, and the one with the writable CD folder. Click and drag the names of the photos you want to copy over to the writable CD folder. Step 5. Once you're done clicking and dragging the files you want to copy over to the writable CD folder, click "Write these files to CD". Step 6. Name the CD then click "Next". Step 7. Wait for the CD writer to finish burning the image to the new CD. Step 8. When the "Completed the CD Writing Wizard" window pops up, click "Finish". Your computer will probably pop the CD out automatically. Step 9. If the CD writing directory is still open, click "Delete temporary files". If you don't see this option, don't worry about it.

Panasonic - Lumix DMC-FH20

Introduction

Front

We were drawn to the candy apple red version of the Panasonic Lumix DSC-FH20 shown here, with its high-gloss paint job. The camera will also be available in silver, black, red and violet.

Up in the top right corner is a lamp that serves as both the self-timer indicator and an autofocus assist lamp when shooting in the dark.

This bright red number caught our eye at Panasonic's CES booth.

Back

The 2.7-inch 230,000-dot LCD is raised on a beveled platform above the control section (or the control section is indented -- your choice). Unlike most recent cameras, Panasonic uses a physical switch at the top right to move between recording and playback modes, Given the camera's slender depth, a MODE button is used instead of a mode dial on top of the camera.

The four-way controller provides direct access to exposure compensation, flash control, macro mode and the self-timer. Pressing the center MENU/SET button brings up the main menu, pressing the Q. MENU button at the bottom right brings up the quick menu screen overlay. DISPLAY rotates information display alternatives in record and playback modes.

The raised LCD provides more depth for gripping top and bottom.

Sides

The left side is bare, the right has the wrist strap connector and a small hinged door (don't bite your fingernails!) covering the single I/O connector.

The right side

Wrist strap connector and I/O on the left

Top

The speaker lies behind the four tiny holes on top of the camera. It's tough to see here, but there's a single hole on the shadowed side of the beveled top for the mono microphone. The unusual control up here is the red iA button on the right. It takes you directly to Panasonic's Intelligent Auto mode, which uses scene recognition to set aperture, shutter speed and ISO.

The controls are well positioned for easy access.

Bottom

The latched battery compartment on the left will accept SD, SDHC and the new high-capacity SDXC memory cards. Actual retail models will not come with the umbilical cord shown attached to the tripod socket here: this was shot on the floor of a trade show, where untethered cameras tend to run away.

The tripod socket is oddly positioned at the right edge. http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/content/Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-FH20-First-Impression-Digital-Camera-Review-21424.htm

New Form 15CA & 15CB relating to remittance of payments to a non-resident or to a foreign company & CA Certificate

Step 1 : Obtain a certificate from a Chartered Accountant in Form No 15CB

Step 2:Furnish the information in Form No15CA

TDS - LATE DEPOSIT TDS -PAY INTEREST 1.5 % PM

The Finance Bill proposes to create a separate class of default in respect of tax deducted but not paid to levy interest at a higher rate of 1.5 per cent per month, i.e. 18 per cent p.a. as against 1 per cent p.m., i.e. 12 per cent p.a., applicable in case the tax is deducted late after the due date. The rationale behind this amendment is that the tax once deducted belongs to the government and the person withholding the same needs to be penalized by charging higher rate of interest.

It may further be noted that the benefit of the proposed amendment under the Section 40a(ia) of making the payment before the due date offiling the return shall be available only in those cases where tax has been deducted during the previous year but paid after the end of the previous year and before the due date of filingthe return. Accordingly, all such persons in terms of the Section 201(1A) need to pay a higher rate of interest, i.e. 18 per cent, from the date of deduction of tax till the date it is actually paid before furnishing the statement under the Section 200(3) of the Act.In case any person claims that tax has been deducted after the end of the previous year and hence a higher interest rate of 18 per cent is not applicable, such a person will not be eligible for the benefit of the proposed amendment to the Section 40a(ia), as this benefit is available only when the tax has been deducted during the previous year itself. So pay your TDS deduction on time ,otherwise you have to bear heavy interest cost. Summary of New provision

Interest up to 30.06.2010

• For late deduction of Tax deduction at source-(rate 1 % per month or part thereof)
• For late deposit of TDS after deduction (rate 1 % per month or part thereof)

Interest from 01.07.2010

• For late deduction of Tax deduction at source-(period date from tax deductible to date of actual deduction )(rate 1 % per month or part thereof)
• For late deposit of TDS after deduction (period :date from tax deducted and date of actual deposit)(rate 1.5 % per month or part thereof)

TALLY DATA MIGRATION FROM 7.2 TO 9

Introduction The Tally Data Migration Tool helps you upgrade from Tally 7.2 to Tally 9, by migrating Data and TCP (Tally Compliant Product) files. It also restores 7.2 backup files. You can also migrate Payroll data using the Tally Data migration Tool. Tally 7.2 data and TCP files cannot be used on Tally 9 unless you migrate them, for which you need to be a licensed user of Tally 9. Tally 6.3 users can also use the migration tool, which will rewrite the version to Tally 7.2 and then migrate the data to Tally 9. Tally Data Migration Tool The Tally Data Migration Tool works with the tally 9. exe and helps you migrate Tally 7.2 company data. It also helps you migrate Tally 7.2 TCP files.
