Viral videos amuse, entertain and shock, and sometimes make us laugh or cry. They spawn Internet memes, like 2011's "Sh*t Girls Say," 2010's "Bedroom Intruder" and 2012's "Facebook Parenting." With the proliferation of camera phones and the availability of inexpensive video editing software, everyone has the potential to create viral content. Viral success is as much a combination of creative content as it is luck, which "Friday" singer Rebecca Black knows all too well. When videos make it big (and even turn into their own meme), we all remember the "actors" - whether it's a mischievous little boy biting his brother's finger or a wedding party dancing their way to fame. So, where are they now? This book covers 15 YouTube videos that went viral and what happened to each of these viral video stars.

It is estimated that over 1,600 new businesses are started each day. While entrepreneurship has been forced upon many people during the economic downturn, most people who start a business do so in pursuit of a dream, or the quest for independence and financial security. The U.S. government, through its tax code, encourages entrepreneurship and small business start ups by providing small businesses with a number of tax incentives. For small businesses, it is a double-edge sword, as the tax code can also be frustratingly complicated. The unfortunate reality is that many business owners, already overwhelmed with the demanding tasks of starting and managing their business, fail to treat the tax aspects of their business as a year-round endeavor. As a result, they are unable to take full advantage of the tax incentives, and worse, they fall into traps that can be very costly. The purpose of this guide is to help you navigate the maze of tax issues that confront small businesses each day in order to make the filing process far less taxing. The following topics are covered: Small Business Taxation Overview Planning Your Business for Tax Efficiency Record Keeping Essentials Paying Your Estimated Taxes Calculating Business Capital Gains and Losses Tax Implications of Financing Your Business Structuring Retirement and Health Benefits for Maximum Tax Advatanges Getting the Most from Business Deductions (while staying out of trouble) Online Resources for Tax Help 365 Day Tax Planning

If you think you have a problem with porn, you probably feel alone--a lot of people would laugh if you say you are addicted to porn. Viewing porn is just normal behavior, right? If you feel like porn is tearing apart your life, then it's not normal behavior--it's a problem that you need to fix, and this book can help. Addiction isn't just a habit or a behavioral choice. All forms of addiction, including addiction to pornography, bring about changes in the brain that make it increasingly difficult to stop using. The brain's reward system, which is activated by pleasant or exciting stimuli, releases dopamine during porn use. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps carry nerve signals across a synapse. When it is activated, dopamine enables generalized feelings of well-being and satisfaction that can make porn users experience feelings similar to a drug user's high.
