   What Is Accounting Anyway?      Anyone who's worked in an office at some point or another has had to go to accounting. They're the people who pay and send out the bills that keep the business running. They do a lot more than that, though. Sometimes referred to as "bean counters" they also keep their eye on profits, costs and losses. Unless you're running your own business and acting as your own accountant, you'd have no way of knowing just how profitable - or not - your business is without some form of accounting.      No matter what business you're in, even if all you do is balance a checkbook, that's still accounting. It's part of even a kid's life. Saving an allowance, spending it all at once - these are accounting principles.      What are some other businesses where accounting is critical? Well, farmers need to follow careful accounting procedures. Many of them run their farms ye...

Watching the news the other day, it occurred to me that people who have “words to live by” often begin to attack and even kill others. I thought back to my own angry youth, when I could easily use words to justify violent thoughts which might have become violent actions. Words are tools, and yet it seems that they can be more dangerous than gunpowder. Imagine two men facing each other, pointing past one another. One is pointing at a tornado that is coming, and the other at a raging fire headed towards them. Each sees their own truth and is angry at the sight of the other’s hand. Each feels that the other’s hand is “wrong.” This may seem silly, but replace the tornado and fire with any modern issues, and the hands with words, and this scene describes how we often try to communicate. We point past each other with our words, arguing as though we are looking at the same facts and experiences. We want to prove our words are the right ones, instead of learning to look at what the other’s wor...

Of all of the celestial bodies that capture our attention and fascination as astronomers, none has a greater influence on life on planet Earth than it’s own satellite, the moon. When you think about it, we regard the moon with such powerful significance that unlike the moons of other planets which we give names, we only refer to our one and only orbiting orb as THE moon. It is not a moon. To us, it is the one and only moon. The moon works its way into our way of thinking, our feelings about romance, our poetry and literature and even how we feel about our day in day out lives in many cases. It is not only primitive societies that ascribe mood swings, changes in social conduct and changes in weather to the moon. Even today, a full moon can have a powerful effect on these forces which we acknowledge even if we cannot explain them scientifically. The most obvious physical phenomenon that is directly affected by the gravity of the moon are the tides of the ocean. The tides are an integral ...

I'd be a millionaire if I had a dollar for every time a parent asked me what to tell their children about money. There are numerous aspects of money management that you can and should discuss with your children. Here, I'll share with you seven of the most important principles. 1. Money can be used to purchase goods or services. This is one of the first few lessons you should teach your child once he or she is old enough to understand – usually around the age of three. Allow your child to hand the money to the cashier the next time you go to the corner store to buy one or two items. They will gain a better understanding of the concept of being able to exchange money for things they want or need as a result. 2. One should exercise caution when dealing with money. Some people I know seem to believe that any coins worth less than 50 cents are simply too small to bother with, and will simply throw these smaller coins away when cleaning out their loose change from around the house. W...

It is an undeniable fact that the internet is here to stay, and its influence over the way people shop is ever-growing. A concerted internet marketing effort is vital for almost every sort of company. This article will present a few easy tips that can boost the impact that online marketing can have for your business. Tell a story about your product. Explain how you developed your product, to meet a pressing problem that no one else had addressed or how it helped you work your way through college. Puppies and cute kids never hurt, but try to keep it relevant to the product itself and help the customers consider how it could help them, too. Try upselling your customers. When they reach an older page on your site, provide them with links to related newer products. This may cause them to add additional items to their orders, as they may see it as a convenient way to save by purchasing related items at the same time. Ascertain that the style of your website is appealing and does not detract...
