Housing and income, a Statistics Canada study
(communiqué from Statistics Canada, June 21, 2002)
Two-thirds of households owned their homes in 2000, while the remainder were tenants, according to a new statistical profile of housing. One-half of owners had a mortgage, and the other half were mortgage-free.
The article "Housing: An income issue," available today in the online version of Perspectives on labour and income, used data from the 2000 Survey of Household Spending to examine issues such as ownership and income as well as condition of homes.
Only 4 in 10 households in the lowest quintile (the bottom 20% of income recipients) owned their homes, compared with 85% in the top income quintile. Couples were more likely to own their homes than unattached individuals and lone parents.
The vast majority (86%) of households were suitably housed in 2000 — that is, the dwellings did not need major repairs and were big enough for their needs. Female lone-parent families had the highest rate of living in unsuitable housing (23%).
Households in the lowest income quintile were almost three times as likely as those in the top quintile to be living in unsuitable housing — 1 in 5 compared with 1 in 13. Couples with children were almost 50% more likely to be in unsuitable housing than couples without children.
On average, Canadian households spent about one-fifth of their after-tax income on housing. Households in the lowest income quintile spent 39%, almost twice the proportion of those in the top quintile.
One in 5 renters spent more than 40% of their after-tax income on housing. Seven in 10 low-income households were renters.

Kulkarni International Students Scholarships 2022 at Walsh College
by Opeyemi
Walsh College is awarding the Kulkarni International Students Scholarship to selected international students who want a scholarship to support their study costs at the Institution.
Why choose to study at Walsh College? Walsh College provides a transformative business education that combines theory, application, and professional experience to prepare graduates for successful careers. The college is committed to its mission and passionate in its advocacy as it embraces its diverse society and provides opportunities for all. Walsh operates at the highest level and seeks continuous improvement collaboratively.
The college began with the founding of the Walsh Institute of Accountancy and the introduction of the Pace Accounting Method, at the time an innovative way of teaching accounting. Mervyn B. Walsh, a certified public accountant, purchased a Pace & Pace franchise to offer the Pace Accounting Method exclusively in Detroit. He founded the Walsh Institute of Accountancy on July 7, 1922, and on September 18 of that year, 23 students were enrolled in the first courses at the institute.
When Mervyn Walsh retired in 1965, the State of Michigan had adopted a new bachelor's degree requirement for candidates to sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Examination. At this time, Michigan's community college system was developing and a pivotal decision was made to build upon, rather than compete with, the community colleges by becoming an upper-division college.
On December 31, 1968, Walsh Institute became an upper-division college offering a business education to juniors and seniors who had finished two years of college. The new Walsh College of Accountancy and Business Administration forged partnerships with Oakland and Macomb community colleges and in 1970 broke ground for a 10,000-square-foot building in Troy, Michigan, near both colleges. Community college partnerships continued to flourish over the next two decades, and business leaders were invited to teach and develop curriculum.
The college offered its first bachelor's degrees, a Bachelor of Accountancy and Bachelor of Business Administration, in 1970. The first graduate degree, the Master of Science in Taxation, was offered in 1974. The following year, the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) accredited Walsh College. Over the next several years, Walsh introduced Master of Science degrees in Professional Accountancy (1980), Finance (1986), and Management (1989). During the 1990s, the College continued to enlarge its facilities, offer classes at other locations in metropolitan Detroit, and introduce new degrees and online technology. The Master of Science in Information Management and Communication (MSIMC) degree was introduced in 1996.
In 1998 the Novi campus was opened and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree was introduced. The first online courses were offered in 1998.

Home Flight Safety Accidents/NTSB Accident Probe: Lack Of Peer Pressure
Accident Probe: Lack Of Peer Pressure
Discussing a proposed flight with a pilot-friend can be the difference between success and disaster.
When I was a student pilot, I was lucky to have some grizzled mentors. There were a lot of "do this" and "don't do that" admonitions, a lot of tips regarding shortcuts and rules of thumb, plus some sage advice about decision-making. A lot of that advice could be broken down into the old "It's better to be on the ground wishing you in the air than to be in the air wishing you were on the ground" genre, but it was often accompanied by a "Let me tell you what I learned the hard way" kind of introduction.
Later, as I gained experience, other pilots began treating me more as a peer than someone who needed additional knowledge. Looking back, it's obvious the methodology changed: Once I became something of a peer to other pilots, the questions I might be asked about a planned flight became more detailed and focused on the consequences of my decisions and actions.
Often, the peer's objective was to get me to think about what my preflight planning was telling me and how that would translate into in-flight conditions. The airplane's capabilities and equipment were a part of the discussions, as were terrain, time of day, loading, fuel and endurance and, of course, weather. We also talked about how I would be faring, perhaps after a long work day, and my ability/willingness to, say, shoot an ILS to minimums. Alternatives also were always a topic, including the time-honored 180-degree turn.
As a result of those interactions, I canceled a few flights over the years, and a few more on my own. Here's an example of when a more skeptical and less-trusting pilot-peer's input regarding actual conditions might have saved the day.
On February 25, 2017, at about 2040 Mountain time, a Cessna 172H Skyhawk was substantially damaged during impact with terrain while maneuvering at a low altitude about 11 nm north-northwest of Panguitch, Utah. The non-instrument-rated private pilot and two passengers were fatally injured. Dark night instrument conditions prevailed.
The flight departed Page, Ariz., about 1930, with Salt Lake City, Utah, as its destination. The direct route between the two points is 223 NM and includes terrain in excess of 11,000 feet. Minimum en route IFR altitudes along plausible airways are as high as 14,000 feet.
Before taking off, a pilot-rated friend of the family texted back and forth with the accident pilot, discussing VFR route options. Weather was also discussed, with the friend telling the pilot the clouds to the east of his house "are all low." At 1923, the friend informed the pilot, "My radar app shows weather over Tropic, but light and some over by Beaver. Nothing bad." At 1924, the pilot replied, "That's what I'm seeing too. I'm just going to stay over the highways." That was the last communication the friend received from the pilot. Earlier, the FBO at Page had topped off both fuel tanks.
When the pilot failed to arrive at his destination that evening, local authorities were contacted. The FAA subsequently issued an alert notification at 0509 on February 26, and search and rescue operations were initiated.
Recorded radar data identified the airplane departing at about 1939. The flight proceeded northwest and climbed to cruise between 9100 and 9900 feet MSL. The last radar return occurred an hour later, at 2038:38, about 80 NM northwest of the departure airport at 9600 feet MSL. At about 1100 on February 27, the wreckage was located.
Examination revealed the airplane had impacted snow-covered mountainous terrain at about 7358 feet MSL in a nose-low attitude and on a southwesterly heading. All necessary components for flight were accounted for at the accident site. There was no evidence of a post-crash fire. The cabin and cockpit areas were destroyed during the accident sequence. Examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
The surface analysis chart depicted a stationary front located across central Arizona with a high-pressure system over northern Utah. The accident site was located north of the front in an area with a weak pressure gradient. Light north and west winds with variable cloud conditions were being reported, with a station northwest of the accident site reporting light continuous snow.
Weather radar revealed snow showers over the accident site, and infrared satellite imagery depicted stratiform clouds over it with bases estimated at 8700 feet MSL and tops near 14,000 feet. The Salt Lake City ARTCC's Center Weather Service Unit had issued a statement applicable to the accident area that indicated widespread MVFR/IFR conditions in snow with low ceilings and visibility.
An automated observation taken 22 minutes after the accident and about 12 nm south-southeast of the accident site at an elevation of 6763 feet MSL included wind from 040 degrees at three knots, visibility of 10 SM, few clouds at 3900 feet AGL and an overcast at 4800 feet AGL. Temperature was minus three degrees C; the dew point was minus six C. At the time of the accident, the moon was more than 15 degrees below the horizon and provided no illumination. The investigation found no evidence that the pilot had received a weather briefing before takeoff.
The NTSB determined the probable cause(s) of this accident to include: "The pilot's continued visual flight rules flight into instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in controlled flight into terrain. Contributing to the accident were the pilot's inadequate preflight weather planning and his poor decision-making." According to the NTSB, "The changes in heading and altitude between the end of the radar data and the impact suggest that the pilot began maneuvering the airplane after radar contact was lost."
The accident pilot had a friend reaching out to him, but neither was taking seriously the weather or dark night conditions. Discussing certain issues—perhaps including what the accident pilot's (nonexistent) weather briefing contained and the limitations of a loaded 145-hp airplane over mountainous terrain—might not have saved the day. But minimizing the flight's risks wasn't the best input the pilot could have received from a peer.
The NTSB On Avoiding CFIT
An NTSB Safety Alert (SA-013, "Controlled Flight Into Terrain in Visual Conditions") from 2008 offers several tips for avoiding CFIT at night, which we've summarized below:
CFIT accidents are best avoided with proper preflight planning.
Terrain familiarization is critical to safe visual operations at night. Use sectional charts to ensure your altitude will safely clear terrain.
Darkness may render visual avoidance of high terrain nearly impossible, resulting in loss of horizon reference.
When planning a nighttime VFR flight, follow IFR practices such as climbing on a known safe course until well above surrounding terrain and choose a cruising altitude ensuring terrain separation.
When receiving radar services, do not depend on ATC to warn you of terrain hazards, since they may not always be able to recognize that a particular VFR aircraft is dangerously close to terrain.
When issued a heading and instructed to "maintain VFR," be aware that the heading may not ensure terrain clearance.
ATC's radar software is configured to protect IFR flights and is normally suppressed for VFR aircraft.

I worked at Flight Service for 20+ years at many locations including Utah and Alaska. Aside from aircraft handling accidents (moose stalls, density altitude issues, running out of gas, flying up a canyon where terrain elevation increases faster than your climb rate, etc), I've come to the conclusion that the three most important safety considerations in VFR flight are: 1.Night 2.Mountains 3.Weather (low ceilings and/or visibilities). Flying with any one of these factors can be relatively safe if you have the proper experience, equipment and training. Flying with two of these factors and the margin for error is getting slim, you'd better be a pro and on your "A" game. Few VFR pilots survive an attempted night flight, in mountains, in bad weather.
Night VFR flights can be an awesome thing……. under the right conditions. Trying to make a trip like the one described in the article obviously a very good idea for a pilot with this guy's experience / training level. Flight's like that are best left to the guys / gals in the F-15E with all their magic boxes. It should be noted that over the years, some of them didn't come home either.

Night, low ceilings, precipitation, mountain terrain what could go wrong? It is a shame this pilot took three other people with him. This was basically a suicide mission.
Tord E. July 3, 2019 at 10:25 am
The margin of error in a situation like this near nil, as pointed out above, few VFR pilots survive nighttime flights in bad weather, with mountains around!
It is close to doing nighttime mail delivery by plane in the '30s, when not even all the professional pilots survived. Charles Lindbergh was one that survived, but many of his colleagues did not.

Not Your Average Wipeouts, New Excerpts From "The Dock"
Not everyday you're going to watch a wipeout video like this. Sure, sports have their varied crash and burns, errors and fails, but when it comes to surfing, there's only a few things that could go wrong. Although, when you're dealing with this unusual stunt that was put together by Stab and Volcom, you're going to get all sorts of wipeouts and fails, none of which has been experienced by any surfer until now.
It was both parts thrilling and dangerous to attempt what these guys conquered. Anchoring a 100-foot floating dock in the middle of a surf break to ease the entry into riding a wave seemed questionable. The dock ripped from its anchor a couple times and trampled its way to the shore. The surfers slipped off its wet surface countless times. Some misjudged its location in the lineup and had to jump to safety, and others had to duck and cover as the dock whipped around like a snake when the waves started breaking.
Was it worth it? Of course it was. Would we do it again? Of course we would. It's all part of the experience of going out on a limb and trying something new. Something that hasn't been done before to give the people something worth viewing. The Dock was a memorable event, and we couldn't have done it without Stab. Special thanks also goes out to our team riders who joined us in this venture, and the entire production crew who made it all possible.

This handcrafted wooden hair stick has been painted black to show off the bright colorful purple and white painted polka dot design adorning the top. Carved into a leaf shape this hair fork has a style that stands out! If you want to do something different with your hair, rock an everyday updo hair style with our organic hair jewelry ornaments. Our two prong hair jewelry is ideal for those who have very thick and curly hair, who normally struggle to achieve real hold with a single hair stick. Additionally, double prong hair sticks are awesome for people with fine hair who are looking for a great updo accent for pony tails or braids.

Q: How do I make a Tweet in Zapier code The following does not work in the "Code by Zapier" Action.
fetch('https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json?status=' +encodeURIComponent(textToTweet))
  .then(function(res) {
    return res.json();
  })
  .then(function(json) {
    callback(null, json);
  })
  .catch(callback);

However, I get the following.
errors:
    message:
    Bad Authentication data.
    code:
    215

What additional authentication does one need to do? The Twitter account is already connected to Zapier, or does that not matter?

UPDATE: per feedback below the following code now gives me an 89: invalid or expired token
fetch('https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json?status=' +encodeURIComponent(textToTweet), {
  headers: {
        Authorization: 'Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_BEGINSWITH_OWNERID'
  }
})
  .then...............

A: This is fairly straightforward if you know the incantations:

*

*Get a token from https://dev.twitter.com/oauth/overview/application-owner-access-tokens.

*Add a Authorization: Bearer <yourtoken> header to your fetch() call.

And you should be good to go!

Drive your dream with Bowater Toyota
Let's not beat around the bush. Reputations are earnt the hard way.
The locals love the Toyota Hilux. It has been the regions top selling new vehicle for a very long time. There is a reason for that. We live in a demanding area, and the vehicles we need to use on the land need to be tough enough to cope. The Toyota Hilux has proved time and time again that it is, that is why the companies that rely on it keep coming back. Click here to learn more about the all new 2016 Toyota Hilux.
The new Toyota 86 - Fun is back! Start your engines.
Take the long way home.
If there's a car that makes you want to rediscover the simple joy of heading out for absolutely anything, then this is it.
Fun is back in a big way. Fun this good ought to be illegal. That is what the Fun Police thought and got in on the act when the first shipment arrived.
The goal of the designers of the soon to be legendary Toyota 86 was to create a sports car that puts fun first, and makes thrilling driving accessible to everyone. From the core of its design, to the carefully chosen technology that completes it, the 86 lives and breathes that promise.
The 86 combines mind-boggingly accurate handling with the smooth acceleration of a 2.0L boxer engine to bring you the most fun you'll ever have on four wheels.
The fun starts with a smile.
The 86 model line up starts with the 86 and the GT86, each designed to slap a huge grin on the face of any driver.
The entry level 86 brings sports driving to the many, providing the thrill of pure driving exhilaration with the kind of looks that make grown men - and women - sigh.
The GT86 adds premium features, with every detail carefully considered to make you feel like a motorsports superstar from the second you slip into the driver's cockpit. The GT86 is next level fun with extras that top off the experience.
A back seat… that's actually a back seat
The 86 has turned the notion that all small sports coupes are basically two-seaters on its head.
There are actually two completely usable rear seats in this performance car; the sports buckets support a child's safety seat perfectly. They even feature ISO fixings, making getting car seats in and out that much easier.
After all, there's no harm in getting the next generation of 86 fan keen, is there?
Steering contest
Did you know the 86's steering wheel is the smallest Toyota has ever made for a production car? It has a diameter of just 365mm, giving you a sportier set-up in the cabin.
There are also special thumb rests that optimise grip and contribute to the absolute precision of the 86's steering system.
Oh, and here's something else you might have already noticed; unlike other Toyota models, this steering wheel doesn't have audio controls or Bluetooth buttons on it. The 86 provides for such an engaging drive, you simply won't want the distractions – your mind can stay focused on the open road ahead.
Engine design - a New first for Toyota powers this car to new limits!
The design of the flat 4 engine that drives the 86 is revolutionary. The low centre of gravity and the combination of the Subaru boxer engine and Toyota's remarkable fuel injection systems, created the world's first horizontal opposed engine with D-4S fuel injection technology - and a whole lot of fun!
Functional, precise design for car lovers. Meet the GT86.
The GT86 range took the already impressive 86 and added more luxury and flair to create a sports car of monumental driving proportions.
The pure exhilaration felt while driving the GT86 is enhanced further by adding the optional Aero Kit. This includes front and rear lower spoilers, side skirts and wing spoiler.
For those wanting something a little extra: The TRD Special Edition.
And then there's the TRD 86.
Built to order, individually numbered, and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity, the Toyota Racing Development Special Edition 86 is our limited initial run masterpiece of fun-to-drive sports car engineering. The best of the best. This machine is built for one thing only.
Sports pedigree with a pure heritage.
Engineering and design elements from all three of the 86's forefathers — the Toyota 800, 2000GT and AE86 — contribute to the 86 as we know it today.
From the 1965 Toyota 800 the modern coupe takes the boxer engine and classic front engine/rear wheel drive layout.
There's no denying a certain sensual style – especially around the shape of the belt line that runs through the middle of the 86 – was inspired by the legendary 2000GT of 1967.
As to the 86's highly customisable character? That's from the original AE86 of 1983; a car that has become a cult classic (and also the generational inspiration behind the 86's name).
It's easy to see that the 86 family as we know it today comes with a rich history of Toyota performance and design.

You are very right on the mark, John! I also struggle endlessly to communicate about what I see humanity doing to its planet. Not a Christian myself, I used to cringe at the "Jesus talk" that I'd hear from some environmentalists. I'm way past that now.
We're in the midst of a profound spiritual crisis, which underlies all the bad ecological decisions that human governments and businesses continue to make on our behalf. Lets shout louder!
Good to see you here. I hope that my work is neither Christian nor non-Christian. The ecological crisis knows no boundaries.
When I was a sophomore in college I had an experience that illustrates what shub (metanoia-repentance) means to me. I had food poisoning from a tainted batch of beef at the university food service. After days of vomiting and a week of not being able to consume anything but modest amounts of liquid, I felt viscerally that I never, ever wanted to eat meat again. This was 1980. Vegetarianism was not all that common. Veganism even less so. My friends all told me that I was crazy. They all told me I had to eat meat in order to be healthy, virile, intelligent, etc. I ignored them all and stopped eating meat, because I had emptied that poison out of my system and could not turn back to it. That visceral emptying also awakened my latent love of all creatures. It was like blinders being removed from my eyes. For 20 years I had simply accepted what my family and culture had assumed was normal: eating animal flesh. I discovered where my heart lies: serving life in all of its manifestations. Thus I have been vegetarian for 37 years. There might be other ways of showing that devotion to all of life, but not eating meat is a pretty good place to start. It is good for our health and it is good for the health of the planet. But I didn't know any of that intellectually at the time. I just knew, once I had been emptied, that I needed to be very conscious about what I took in. I could not just swallow whatever my culture handed to me.
Shub is not just an idea or an intention. It is a visceral emptying, and the inevitable change of direction that follows. The Greek translation metanoia makes it sound like something that happens only in the mind. I experience it as something visceral: a complete change of direction including mind, body and relationship to the biosphere.
We all have poisoned minds. Our cultural assumptions make us think we are the star attraction here on Earth. We think the rest of the living world exists only to serve us; it is a "resource" that exists for our consumption. When we vomit out that poison, we discover that unless we exist to serve life, we cease to exist. That is what repentance-shub means to me: vomiting out the destructive poison of human superiority over all else, and consequently discovering the communion of all of life.

Old injuries, chronic conditions and repetitive movement patterns often comprise a large amount of a massage therapy practice.
Compensatory patterns develop and enable to dysfunction to spread, creating pain and limitations in life.
Manual therapy uses vacuum cups and specific techniques to relieve pain and restriction, along with those compensatory patterns—no matter how old the injury may be.
The body responds to injury via the neurohormonal and immune systems. The tissue shifts from a healthy alkaline PH to an acidic one, in order for the body to send chemicals via blood and lymph to address pain and other factors.
The area fills with lymph and the inflammatory response kicks in. This is a normal part of the healing process.
The biggest challenge is allowing the injury to fully recover. People often let it heal, wrap it up and get back to life's activities as soon as possible. The tissue stays in the acidic PH and that becomes the new "normal" for that part of the body.
Chronic conditions such as diabetes and arthritis mimic this pattern. And the longer the condition is present, the more likely it is to become systemic as other areas are affected. Repetitive movement is also similar in that it is simply an injury created over a long time.
For recent injuries or conditions, vacuum manual therapy is used to assist the body through the healing and recovery process to prevent long-term acidic and inflammatory issues, along with compensatory patterns.
A truly effective tool used to shift the PH and break the pattern of the tissue are negative pole magnets. The negative pole is used to shift the charge and PH of the tissue, so the body will release the cycle and release the protective mode it has adopted.
This is a bit similar to the body's reaction to rapid weight loss where it lowers the metabolism. Even when the person starts eating a higher caloric value, the body will not easily adjust the metabolism out of starvation mode.
There are wonderful sets of tools that feature a very strong magnet in a small micro-cup. These can easily be applied and left in place for about two to three minutes prior to using a vacuum cup with slow pumping or gliding movements to move the congestion out of the area.
These magnets are also very effective to relieve acidic or inflammatory conditions and pain associated with arthritis and diabetes.
Manual therapy movements using glass, silicone or polycarbonate vacuum cups create space in the fascia to encourage full range of movement, soften scar tissue to ease restrictions in lymph and blood flow and encourage drainage of fluids and debris.
Congested lymph: Congestion is usually old lymph that thickened from dehydration associated with inflammation. The vacuum creates vasodilation and uses that heat to liquefy the lymph so it can flow.
The vacuum is also effective at opening up space for the lymph to flow and stimulating the lymphatic system when pumping movements are used. This thick debris that is trapped at the site restricts movement and flow of blood and lymph from areas distal to the site.
Trapped blood: Congestion can also be blood from an old injury or micro-tears in the tissue associated with recurring movement patterns. Athletes suffer quite a bit from this issue, with tissue congestion interfering with normal contraction and elongation of the muscle fibers.
This is the situation where a discoloration can occur under the cup, even at it is moved. The vacuum liberates the old blood, which can then be carried away and eliminated. Darker discoloration often indicates older blood deposits.
The main reason you do not want to place the cups and let them sit in place longer than 3 minutes, especially on athletes, is to prevent the blood congestion from getting stuck in the dermal tissues and lymphatic terminations. The best method is to move the debris out slowly and with movement toward pre-cleared lymph nodes.
Scar tissue: Scar tissue is another condition that creates restriction and traps congestion while limiting blood and lymph flow, along with affecting movement. There are many types of scar tissue, and knowledge of them is the key to successful treatment. Overstimulation of hypertrophic scar tissue can result in more tissue formation, while gentle work can result in significant changes in appearance and flexibility.
Use a large cup first to visually identify any adhesions that may attach deep into the tissue and bony structures. Then loosen the adhesions with gentle pumping and rolling rotations with the cup. Use a smaller cup that fits the size of the scar and begin with pumping movements to soften rigid tissue.
Once congested lymph and old blood is softened and liquefied, it can be drained through the newly created space around the scar and toward the appropriate pre-cleared nodes.
Vacuum manual therapy is used to affect the major components of dysfunction such as inflammation, pain, nervous system imbalances, restrictions, hydration and congestion. Injury recovery, chronic conditions and repetitive movement issues can be broken down into these factors to create a customized protocol for each person.
Adding vacuum manual therapy techniques into a larger treatment system that includes other great techniques, products and professional referrals produces results that positively affect quality of life.

A: You're calling drupal_mail with the wrong parameters. The correct way to send mail in Drupal requires you to implement the hook_mail hook where, based on a key and some parameters sent by drupal_mail you return the title and the subject of the email.
Take a look here for a simple example: http://api.lullabot.com/drupal_mail
If, however, you want to skip drupal_mail you can use this:
<?php
    $message = array(
      'to' => 'example@mailinator.com',
      'subject' => t('Example subject'),
      'body' => t('Example body'),
      'headers' => array('From' => 'example@mailinator.com'),
    );

    drupal_mail_send($message);

Make sure you pass all text through t() since drupal_mail_send doesn't take care of localisation.

There are many elements to running a business, and it's no secret that some are more fun than others. Dependant on your skills and interests, these likes and dislikes will vary. One sphere of operating a business that is usually dubbed as undesirable for business owners is accounting. A separate skill all on its own, accounting is a sector that most business owners either don't understand or don't have time for. For this reason, many individuals, business owners and companies are adopting automated accounting processes. Want to know why automated accounting is being dubbed as a bigger trend than cloud computing? Read on.
Amongst other key benefits, an automated bookkeeping system means that all of your company's essential financial information is stored in one place. This means that employees can enter their own expenses and other financial information, which can simply and conveniently be viewed and shared by other staff members. As well as this, key business processes such as sending invoices and keeping track of payments can be easily tracked via an automated accounting process. Having all of this important information in one spot means that - from reporting to replying to emails - you can speed up your business processes across the board.
If you're a small business that's getting started, or an entrepreneur who has just thought up an incredible idea, the last thing you want to be doing is sinking time and money into unnecessarily extensive accounting services. If you don't have the financial resources to hire an outside firm or employ an in-house accountant, automating your accounting processes is an easy, flexible and affordable solution. You can have the option to tailor the accounting software you need to suit your budget.
If you're lucky enough to be amongst the ranks of companies who are rapidly growing, automating your accounting processes can be an advantageous mechanism. This is because using an off-the-shelf accounting software program probably won't meet the needs of a fast evolving entity. Moreover, when you do need to hire in-house help or an outside accounting firm, they will most likely recommend that you switch to an automated accounting process. However, if you already have this in place, you can streamline your finances from the get go.
As automated bookkeeping is likely to become a part of your business strategy down the line, why not simplify things for yourself and incorporate an appropriate process for you? The great thing about automating your accounting processes is that you can evolve it as your business grows. This means that from the day you start your business, you will have a central location for all your financial data, whilst simultaneously saving money and time.

Who is a douchebag's douchebag?
I'm sure there's little dispute that the individual pictured is what is widely considered to be a douchebag. Dissent on this opinion may only come from the individual himself and his like minded peers. Given the fact that this person is a douchebag, desperately latching onto whatever trendy new looks and terminology are flying around, there is little doubt that at some stage he would take it upon himself to refer to someone else as a douchebag. But what kind of person could a douchebag be calling a douchebag? We can only delight in the irony of him using a term that exemplifies himself on somebody else less deserving.
While the phrase may be tossed around carelessly by all of us, used to describe any guy who is irksome in a general sort of way, if six different guys were put in a line up, the one most closely resembling the gentleman pictured below would no doubt be selected as the individual most befitting the term "douchebag".
When searching for images of douchebags, this image came up many times. I wonder if this douchebag, after becoming the Google Image Search definition of "douchebag" amended his ways or embraced his title. A douchebag of this magnitude would find himself in a terrible conundrum, though I imagine ignorance being a key trait, he may remain unaware.
There is no question that the douchebag, ignorant of the fact that he is one, will be calling others douchebags. As I manage to steer clear of douchebag hangouts, my dream to one day hear a douchebag call someone not typically considered a douchebag, a douchebag, may never be realised. Below is an image of wrongful use of the word "douchebag". Someone may be dumb enough to dislike the President, but the term "douchebag" does not at all suit him. In an effort to express some superiority, a douchebag might call President Obama a douchebag, feel quite triumphant, not aware that he is only raising his own douchebag points by proudly displaying his ignorance to true douchebags, a trait which led him to douchebaggery in the first place.
This man is not a douchebag.
Merriam-Webster describes a douche as 1 a : a jet or current of liquid (as a cleansing solution) directed against or into a bodily part or cavity (as the vagina) b : an act of cleansing with a douche. It is interesting that while men are usually eager to gain passage to the vagina, and most unscrupulously of all the aforementioned douchebag, that an item whose sole purpose is to gain said passage is regarded so poorly. Is it that the bag resembles a limp penis? The antithesis of what is supposed to occur upon conquest? If so, so too is the douchebag the epitome of what a man is supposed to be.
I honestly found and saved this picture and then discovered it was Luke Goss from Bros. I fancied this douchebag's twin brother Matt when I was 10 years old. The Ed Hardy shirt and like prints are important for douchebag style.
The designer shirt with a screen printed logo is a must for any douchebag's closet. Most likely the douchebag feels that this expresses the "class" he requires to enter the nightclub of his choosing, while the printed graphic is a hint to his casual side and his depth. The graphic appears meaningful at a glance to anyone shallow, however on closer inspection, it means absolutely nothing. The image should be enough to placate the kind of girl who goes for douchebags.
The neck of a t-shirt is an important douchebag indicator.
Below are douchebags at play, living in the illusion that they have conquered something. Physique is very important to the douchebag, though he doesn't realise the more he shows off his hard work of iron pumping, his douchebag score soars.
The douchebag singer from Third Eye Blind. Photo by Heather Leah Kennedy
While douchebags are clearly described by all these examples, the Third Eye Blind kind has a sporting chance to be fingered in our douchebag line-up. While fashion and chest exposure play an important role, the misguided belief of self importance is what I believe truly defines a douchebag.
With that final piece to the puzzle, we may be able to figure out who a douchebag considers a douchebag. Given that the classic douchebag is clearly over compensating for his lack of intelligence and personality, it would stand to reason that he would then feel threatened by most anyone. As just about anyone may appear, in his pea brain, to exude undeserved confidence, the true douchebag would feel completely justified in calling anyone a douchebag, blissfully unaware of the irony.
May this investigation not impede your use of the word. Feel free to describe the jerkoff you spoke to in customer service as a douchebag, or the guy that cut you off in traffic. Should you catch up to him and find his head crowned in spiky hair and wearing studded sunglasses, that can only serve as a minor victory.

Some interesting facts about this blog!
All images were found by including the search term "douchebag"! (except the Third Eye Blind image which Heather gave to me. It was already marked as shown)
The word "douchebag" appears 57 times including this sentence.
The only spelling error that came up in spell check was "douchebag".
Now "douchebag" has appeared 59 times, including THIS sentence.

IITMadras is even raising a startup fund. The time is all set for IITs to give a shot at teaching entrepreneurship in the classroom. IITs have always produced a steady stream of entrepreneurs, including those behind celebrated companies such as Flipkart and Snapdeal. There are so many IITs that are looking to liberate a number of entrepreneurs.
IIT-Madras is raising a fund for start-ups. "We're tapping into our alumni network to handpick mentors who could guide the student entrepreneurs," said Ashwin Mahalingam, assistant professor, department of civil engineering, IIT-Madras.
The entrepreneurship initiative has also created an impact on IIT-Patna that is looking to launch a minor in entrepreneurship. "With a subject like entrepreneurship being taught by actual entrepreneurs, it will help, support and guide young entrepreneurial ventures in the right direction," said Ajai Chowdhry, founder of HCL, who also teaches the subject at IIT-Hyderabad and is chairman at IIT-Patna.
IITs in Delhi, Kharagpur and Hyderabad are planning to bring entrepreneurship at the forefront of their BTech curriculum, and plan to launch minor as well as elective courses on the subject from next year. Other IITs in Madras, Mumbai, Gandhinagar, Kanpur, Patna and Mandi have just taken baby steps to include entrepreneurship in their curriculum.
These steps could further whip up a culture of entrepreneurship at the IITs and in the country, entrepreneurs and investors say. "This will benefit students who are not born into a business family, but yet aspire to run a company," Sasha Mirchandani, managing partner and founder of Kae Capital and founder of Mumbai Angels, a network of investors, said.
"If you have faculty members teaching entrepreneurship, students would be more willing to learn about startups and businesses," he added. IIT-Delhi recently introduced courses on entrepreneurship. These could evolve into a minor, PV Madhusudan Rao of the mechanical engineering department of IIT-Delhi, said. A 'minor' is a pre-defined course in a focus area whereas an 'elective' is an optional departmental or open-category course.
IIT-Kharagpur is considering a micro or thin specialisation in engineering entrepreneurship for its BTech students from next year, said PP Das, head of Rajendra Mishra School of Engineering Entrepreneurship at IIT Kharagpur.
IITs may even consider offering full-time degree and diploma programs on entrepreneurship, Rohin Kapoor, senior manager at Deloitte said. Many engineering institutes abroad already offer formal courses like Masters in Entrepreneurship etc.
The minister referred to the rankings while underscoring the need to inculcate an entrepreneurial mindset among the youths, noting that knowledge and entrepreneurship are key to take the country ahead. Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are ranked fourth on a list of 50 best entrepreneurial undergraduate institutes in the world, HRD Minister Smriti Irani said on Friday.
The ranking was compiled by PitchBook Data, a US-based private equity and venture capital research firm.
In the study, the research firm found that the IITs had a total of 264 entrepreneurs, who have founded 205 companies and cumulatively raised USD 3.15 billion.

Marcus's MA04 Candidate Profile: Natalia Linos [OPINION]
Natalia for Congress via Facebook
As an epidemiologist and a lifelong social justice activist, Natalia Linos' entire life was calling her to meet this moment in history. Linos not only has unparalleled educational and professional credentials in public health, but from a young age, she traveled the globe in an effort to make it a more healthy and habitable place. At 19, Linos traveled to Pakistan to help meet the educational and health needs of an Indigenous tribe that lived on the Afghan border. At 20, she was helping Iraqi families by volunteering at a refugee camp in Greece.
Linos then began a career at the United Nations in Lebanon and later New York. While there, Linos was engaged in global progressive causes such as alleviating poverty, ending gender-based discrimination and violence, and leading the UNDP's work at the intersection of health and climate change. Most notably, Linos organized youth and advocacy groups across the globe, urging governments to take greater action to combat climate change and meet their obligations under the historic 2015 Paris Agreement.
During the Ebola epidemic, Linos was Science Advisor to the New York City Health Commissioner. While there, she was a key orchestrator of several sweeping public health reforms in NYC including ThriveNYC, an $800 million mental health initiative to address opioid addiction, depression and suicide, and Cure Violence, a gun violence initiative. She also helped launch community health profiles for each of the city's 59 districts. This not only gave public officials a more comprehensive picture of how systematic inequities affect public health in the city, but it gave people important data to advocate for community investments to combat these inequities.
Linos currently resides in Brookline with her husband and three children. She works at Harvard University as the Executive Director of the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard and serves on the Poor People's Campaign COVID-19 Health Justice Advisory Committee. She holds three Harvard degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, a Master of Science in Social Epidemiology, and Doctor of Science in Social Epidemiology. She also holds a Certificate in Forced Migration from Oxford University's Refugee Studies Centre. Linos is also multilingual.
In this unprecedented crisis, Linos wants to bring her unique professional experience in tackling public health issues on a local and global scale to Congress, where she can best advocate for desperately needed reforms to ensure a society that's healthier and better prepared to deal with these crises.
Why did you decide to run for Congress?
"As an epidemiologist, I had been monitoring the evolving COVID-19 pandemic closely and became increasingly frustrated by the government's inadequate response. I began sounding the alarm about the disproportionate impact this pandemic could have on the most vulnerable Americans – especially communities of color – in early March, and used my role at the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard to call for a more equitable response that adequately met the needs of families and communities who are struggling through this crisis.
But as the death toll and unemployment claims skyrocketed, it became clear that standing on the sidelines and asking politicians to do better was simply not enough. We urgently need a Congress that can combine scientific evidence from public health with the values of equity and social justice, and I have the technical skills and knowledge to be that person. So I have decided to run for Congress because our health can't wait."
How has your campaign adapted to the new realities of the COVID-19 pandemic?
"My campaign was catalyzed by the current pandemic. I declared I was running on April 29, less than a week before the May 5 deadline to submit 1000 nomination signatures. A team of 50 volunteers came together to reach out to their networks, phone bank, and do physically-distant canvassing with QR codes to collect 1200 signatures in just over five days. Our ability to collect so many signatures in such a short amount of time, without the usual tools of campaigning, shows that District 4 is ready to have a conversation about public health and equity. I will use technology moving forward to connect with residents and listen to their concerns, anxieties, hopes, and wishes."
What experiences and qualities do you have that separate yourself from the other candidates in the race?
"In the middle of a pandemic, I'm proud to offer my technical skills as an epidemiologist and my experience working to protect and advance the well-being of communities. At Harvard, the United Nations, and NYC's Health Department, I have worked to move the needle forward on some of the most critical issues facing District 4: mental health and the opioid overdose crisis, climate change and environmental protection, and poverty alleviation.
Health is not just the absence of illness. I see healthy communities as those where every person has the resources and support they need to thrive. If we do not address this pandemic and its real mental and economic consequences in an equitable way, everyone will suffer."
What do you think is the most important issue facing the country today and how do we address it?
"The most important issue facing the country today is how to handle this global pandemic in a way that protects both lives and livelihoods. I have spoken to frontline health-care workers in our District who are angry at the inadequate response and limited protection they have. Our local restaurants, shops, daycares, and other small business owners and workers tell me that they need more support. As unemployment claims soar, Congress must meet the needs of all families, protect workers, and ensure small businesses can survive.
We must also correct systemic and longstanding issues like poverty, growing inequality, environmental degradation, and structural racism that COVID-19 has exacerbated. We have a unique opportunity to ensure that we do not simply 'go back to normal' but reimagine a better future and put in place measures and policies that will get us there."
What is one of your favorite features of MA04 District?
"The diversity of District 4 – linguistically, ethnically, religiously, and more – is part of why I love living here. As a Greek-American and mom of three young children, I have found it so reassuring to be welcomed by so many, to share in their traditions and food. For example, while we are not Jewish, my twins Leo and Alexandra are students at the Frances Jacobson Early Childhood Center at Temple Israel of Boston, where we celebrate the Jewish faith and have been so warmly welcomed by the community. Similarly, in my daughter Amalia's classroom at Pierce School, over 11 different languages are spoken at home. What a wonderful gift for my daughter!
During this crisis it has also been encouraging to see neighbors help each other, step up to deliver food to the elderly, to volunteer at food pantries, and to witness deep kindness between strangers. So while celebrating our District's diversity, I also celebrate our shared humanity in times of crisis."
