This is a question that many business owners ask. While many of the duties are the same for a CPA and an accountant, there are some very distinct differences. A CPA or Certified Public Accountant can perform all the duties of an accountant but the reverse is not true. \n\nThe requirements to become a CPA vary from state to state. Becoming a CPA in Florida requires 120 semester hours of undergraduate education including accounting courses and business courses. A candidate must also pass the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination and get a specific number of hours of on-the-job training.\n\nWhile an accountant need not be a certified professional, many have taken a number of business courses and have a good working knowledge of balance sheets, cash flow, owner’s equity, and the chart of accounts. An accountant is responsible for completing financial reports and most are fully capable of handling quarterly IRS tax reports and filings, as well as the annual tax return for a small business.\n\nThe CPA profession is regulated by the state of Florida and it requires ongoing training each year. Though this is not true for accountants, many are eager to stay current with any tax law changes or advancements in business and financial matters. Both the CPA and accountant perform very detailed financial work and understand the importance of getting reports and other work done correctly.\n\nIn both professions, you will find highly skilled individuals with a passion for numbers. They are capable to provide a wide range of assistance to business owners from tax preparation and auditing to accounts payable and receivable.", "role": "assistant" } ]

They reminded you that if you slump all the time or walk slumped over, this can permanently alter the curvature of your spine. This is actually true although it would take years of slumping to do this.\n\nThe thing is though, that if we develop poor habits as youngsters, they often follow us through to adulthood. You rarely ever see classes or information on back health but some schools do teach this during science class or gym. If you’ve been having chronic backaches, then some simple back exercises can strengthen those muscles and cut down on the number of aspirin you have to take each day.\n\nYou can practice sitting up properly best in a straight-backed chair. Sit down and press your back up against the chair back and take several deep breaths. Close your eyes and try to envision your spine completely straight. This combines bio-feedback with back exercises to help you be more aware of your spine and back.\n\nWalking and swimming are both good exercises for your back as well and they can improve your health in other areas. One exercise that stretches the back muscles and the backs of your legs at the same time is to stand up straight. Extend your hands to the ceiling, take a deep breath, and then release it as you bend forward touching your fingers to your toes. If you can, hold this position for a few moments.\n\nHere are a few other tips:\n1.\tNever twist and bend at the same time.\n2.\tAvoid carrying large, heavy purses or sling bags\n3.\tDon’t slump while sitting watching TV or while driving the car.\n4.\tUse a chair with a backrest and change positions often.\n5.\tChoose a good mattress that lends support in all the right areas.", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Can you give me some suggestions on things I can do to help save on my energy costs?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "1. Switch to LED Lights \nAlthough LED lights may cost more than traditional light bulbs, they will help you save tons of money on your energy costs over time. Switching to LED bulbs is an excellent way to conserve energy and save on your electric bill. LED lights will not just help you save on your energy bill, but they can also help you save money on your overall lighting costs since they last at least 25 times longer than traditional bulbs. That means you will not need to replace your light bulbs as often. \n\n2. Do Not Leave Your Refrigerator Door Open \nWe all look inside our fridge as we decide what we want to eat. But did you know that doing so can cause you to waste a lot of energy? It takes more time for your refrigerator to cool back down after the doors have been open for several minutes. To eliminate this extra cost, try deciding on what you want to eat before you open your fridge doors to help reduce the amount of energy used. \n\n3. Keep Your Oven Door Closed \nIf you frequently open your oven door while cooking, it will take twice as long to get back to the cooking temperature. Instead of opening your oven door all the time, consider using an oven light if your oven has a window on the door that allows you to peek inside. \n\n4. Shut Down your Electronics \nOne of the easiest things you can do to help save on energy costs is to shut down your electronics when they are not in use. We all tend to leave our devices such as our TV and laptop on making it more convenient than waiting for it to boot up again. But leaving your devices on while they are not in use can contribute to your high energy costs. When we leave devices plugged into an outlet, they are still using power. This is something known as \"phantom power\". To help reduce your energy use and costs, try connecting everything to a power bar and turning that off whenever you leave the house. \n\n5. Decrease Energy Use During Peak Hours \nThese days, many homes are now equipped with smart meters that keep track of when you are using the most energy throughout the day. If you are interested in conserving energy, you should use most of your electricity during non-peak hours. By doing so, you will save as much as 10 cents per kilowatt. \n\n6. Make Use of Small Appliances \nIf you are cooking a small meal, you will want to make good use of your smaller appliances instead of firing up your large electric oven. Toaster ovens, electric skillets, air fryers, and other countertop appliances are now versatile enough to help you create a full-course meal without using a ton of energy. \n\n7. Wash Laundry in Cold Water Only \nIf you have any delicate items in your wardrobe, you may already know about the benefits of washing your clothes in cold water. Doing so can help your clothing last longer and the fabric is less likely to shrink. Another great benefit of using cold water while doing laundry is that it will help keep your electricity bill low. It is estimated that as much as 90% of the energy used by your washing machine is spent on heating your water. Therefore, many consumers have caught on to the benefits of using cold water to wash their laundry. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

The love you might feel towards these people is different from the parental love you feel from your parents. Then, there is romantic love between two adults like your parents. Your parents love each other in a different way than they love you, their friends or other family. Romantic love is a more mature feeling of love with understanding, compassion, and physical and mental attraction. Finally, there is universal love, where a person has a love for everyone and everything, regardless of whether or not they receive love in return; this love does not expect anything.

They wore bright whites while vacationing while those that remained in the city wore darker clothes. There's another theory that says it happened after Labor Day was made a national holiday. The wealthy put away their white clothes to signify that Summer was over. \n\nOkay, so now that we've got that history lesson out of the way. Let's talk about breaking this so-called rule.

The sea turtle population has been in a state of rapid decline due to human interference. Marine pollution has been a major factor in the drop in the sea turtle population. Things like sewage disposal, oil spills, and toxic waste are harming the reptile group greatly. In addition to this, there are 100 million tons of plastic in our oceans, 80% of which comes from people. Many turtles are killed or injured due to plastic trash alone but the harm that is being done to this aquatic reptile doesn't stop there. About 250, 000 turtles have been captured, injured, or killed by fishermen, often even by accident. Fishing nets used to catch other ocean creatures have captured many sea turtles by mistake. The nets keep the turtles held underwater and cause them to drown. According to the data, the issue is very severe. One species in particular, the leatherback, has had its population decline by 40% in the past three generations according to the NOAA. \n\nNeedless to say, something must be done about our precious sea turtle population. Nearly all species of sea turtles have made their way onto the endangered species list. Some steps we could take to try and reverse this catastrophe include participating in coastal cleanups, reducing the rate at which we use single-use plastics, and even conserving the water we use at home. Those are things we can all do as individuals to help. However, we must also hold corporations that dump toxic waste into the ocean accountable. Although it is illegal in most places to dump waste into the ocean, that does not stop it from happening. The ocean is a very difficult place to regulate and perhaps society as a whole should at the very least try to make these regulations even more strict to better enforce these rules but it is easier said than done. \n\nIn conclusion, the world's sea turtle population is in rapid descent due to ecological factors caused by humans that affect their immediate environment. There is currently little we can do to reverse the situation, but I wanted to help bring attention to it so that we may all do our part in reducing plastic use and helping stop other waste from affecting our oceans. Turtles are not the only sea creatures harmed by these atrocities, they are simply the most affected. I hope my essay inspires whoever reads it to make changes in their everyday lives to help our endangered turtle friends as well as all of the other ocean creatures impacted by marine pollution and the other factors I mentioned to continue to survive. Most of all, I hope it calls into question our current policies on ocean regulation and if they are enough.

Hopefully, the following four tips will help you make a smoother shift from home to a college living situation. \n\nCongratulations on making the big move toward an independent future! \n\n1. Ask your family, friends, and loved ones for help. \n\nYou’ll probably need physical help making the move to college, but you’ll also need support and emotional help. For many college newbies, it’s not easy to leave the familiarity of a childhood home but knowing that you have the emotional support and love of those that you care about can give you a much-needed confidence boost and lessen your doubt or anxieties. \n\n2. Sharing a dorm? Be open-minded as to who your roommate may be. \n\nWhile you can request a specific type of dorm room, it’s not often that you can request a specific type of roommate. So, be open-minded and respectful of whoever you’ve been paired with. You’ll be spending a lot of time together in the same space, so you must establish a cordial rapport from the start. If you and your roommate have too many differences, you can always request a transfer later in the school year. \n\n3. Pack the essentials, but save décor and organizational extras for after you’ve moved in. \n\nToiletries, clothes, and comfort items, like a favorite blanket, are all essential for any college student on move-in day. Otherwise, everything else is extra that can wait until you’ve settled into your dorm room. \n\nDon’t overload the car with things that you don’t need right away. There are stores and shops galore in college towns, so it should be easy to find any décor or organizational tools that you may need after you’ve officially transitioned from home to college. \n\n4. Anxious? Arrive on campus earlier than everyone else to ensure you don’t get caught in the move-in rushes. \n\nAnxiety is the biggest problem for most new college students, especially because they don’t want to feel dumb or make a fool of themselves on the first day around everyone else. It’s a common fear, and one that’s typically unfounded, particularly when everyone is worried about the same things. \n\nHowever, you can lessen your anxiety by planning on earlier arrivals. If you’ve packed only the essentials, it should be easy for you to find your room and get settled in before the other students make a mad dash to do the same. The general rule of thumb for anxious students is to arrive two to three hours before the move-in rushes.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Her mother had died peacefully in her sleep, but Kyra couldn't reckon with a lifetime of living to justify one iota of death. Still, she was coping; the hole in her heart was smaller every day, albeit by a little. \n\nLooking at the painting helped. Her great, great uncle Keith had been an exceptional artist, and at some point, he'd gathered as many family members as he could find, both near and far, to be painted. His work was immaculate, with clear, recognizable features on every person. He must have truly loved them. \n\nShe would brew a cup of tea in the morning and spend some time with the painting before heading to work. She didn't recognize many faces, but it was comforting to know that they had passed on like her mother. That was an odd thing to appreciate, she knew, but it gave her solace, nonetheless.\n\nOne day, in a moment of strong emotion, she touched the painting. The world seemed to shimmer around her, and she found herself in another world entirely. Somehow, she remained calm, possessed with the strong inclination that she should show no emotion in this place of reverence. \n\nShe had some inking of where she was, too. In some way, she recognized the gathering place up ahead as the place she would one day live with her family after this life. It was cast with a silver sheen; everything seemed slightly out of focus, as if the existence of the place was constantly being challenged and only maintained by conscious effort—perhaps that was exactly the cause.\n\nUp ahead, she saw her mother, and despite the thumping of her heart and the inner voice warning her to go back, she raced toward her, calling out her name. The figure disappeared as Kyra approached, leaving her alone at the table.

It's a particle accelerator, and its job is to smash tiny particles together. It's built inside a huge underground tunnel that's 27 kilometers long. The tunnel is a closed loop though, it's not just a tunnel that goes 27 km away from the starting point.\n\nThe collider uses magnets and other arrangements to accelerate particles to nearly the speed of light. At this point, the particles are put on a collision course with each other and ultimately collide. The magnets I referred to previously have to be kept at a temperature of ‑271.3°C. There are thousands of magnets in the collider, so it makes sense it's a long loop.\n\nOne thing that's amazing about the LHC is the precision with which it operates. It has to collide tiny particles into each other, so you can imagine trying to shoot two needles at each other from 10km apart and trying to make them collide — it's no easy task! The collider is operated by the wonderful people at the CERN Control Centre, and I'd encourage you all to learn more.

But when the powerful Witch of the Waste deems Sophie a danger to her plans, she casts a spell that turns her into an elderly woman. Sophie must abandon the shop and eventually finds work as a maid for the infamous wizard Howl in his moving castle. \n\nBefore even meeting the castle owner, Sophie strikes a deal with Howl's fire demon, Calcifer: if she can break a contract between Howl and Calcifer, then Calcifer will restore her to her original youthful form. However, according to the terms of the contract, neither Howl nor Calcifer is allowed to reveal the main clause, leaving Sophie to deduce it for herself.\n\nSophie discovers that Howl spreads false rumors about himself to escape work and responsibility. Howl is a rather self-absorbed and fickle but ultimately kind person. While Howl pursues his ever-changing paramours, Michael Fisher, Howl's apprentice, handles the bulk of the day-to-day activities of the wizarding business. For Sophie, Michael acts as a steady and dependable figure, guiding her through the often perplexing and uncertain world of the moving castle. His unflinching support and dedication to Howl, in particular, are crucial in assisting the wizard in facing his past and overcoming his fears.\n\nAfter Prince Justin, the King of Ingary's younger brother, vanishes while attempting to locate the Wizard Suliman, the King orders Howl to find them both and slay the Witch of the Waste. As the narrative progresses, Sophie learns that there is more to Howl and herself than meets the eye.\n\nThroughout this daring novel, readers are transported into a delightful world filled with enchantment and wonder.
