article: A balance sheet shows the company's assets (what it owns), liabilities (what it owes) and equity accounts, such as common stock and additional paid-in capital for a specific date. Title the first page of your financial report "Balance Sheet" and then list the organization's name and the balance sheet's effective date. The balance sheet items are reported as of a specific day of the year. For example, the balance may be prepared as of December 31. Most balance sheets feature assets on the left and liabilities/equity on the right. Alternatively, some may show assets on top and liabilities/equity below. Add the title "Assets" to first section of the balance sheet, then list the different assets held by the company. Start with current assets, such as cash and any items that will be converted to cash within one year of the balance sheet date. At the end of this section, include a subtotal of the current assets. Next, list the non-current assets. Non-current assets are defined as any assets that are not in the form of cash and will not be converted to cash any time soon. For example, property, equipment and notes receivable are non-current assets. Include a subtotal of the non-current assets. Finally, sum the current and non-current subtotals and label this line "Total Assets." The next section of the balance sheet shows the liabilities and equity accounts. This section of the balance sheet should be titled "Liabilities and Equity." Begin by listing current liabilities. These are liabilities that are due within one year, and typically include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the short-term portion of mortgages and other loan payments. Include a subtotal of the current liabilities. Next, include the long-term liabilities. These are any liabilities that will not be settled within one year, such as long-term debt and notes payable. Include a subtotal of long-term liabilities. Sum the current and non-current subtotals and label this line "Total Liabilities." The equity section of the balance sheet comes after the liabilities portion and shows the amount of money the company would have left if all its assets were sold and liabilities paid off. Here, make a list of all the equity accounts, such as common stock, treasury stock and retained earnings. Once all the equity accounts are listed, sum them and add the caption "Total Equity." Combine the totals from "Total Liabilities" and "Total Equity" sections together. Title this "Total Liabilities and Equity." The figures you have calculated for "Total Assets" and "Total Liabilities and Equity" must be equal on the balance sheet. If this is the case, then your balance sheet is now complete and you can begin preparing the income statement. Shareholder's equity should correspond to a company's assets minus its liabilities. As mentioned previously, this is the money that would be left over if all assets were sold and all liabilities paid. Hence, liabilities plus equity should be equal to assets. If the balance sheet does not balance, double check your work. You may have omitted or miscategorized one of your accounts. Double check each column individually and make sure everything is included that ought to be. You may have missed a valuable asset, or a significant liability.

article: Eating the same meals consistently can affect the way we taste. Get out of this rut and actively try to experience different foods. A great way to start this process is by seeking out renowned foods from different cultures. Whether it's Indian Curry, Lebanese Humus or a Pad Thai, try to find restaurants that prepare genuine cultural specialties. Strong tastes can linger on your taste buds and affect the way you taste each course. As such, you essentially have to "reset" them between courses. You can do this in a few ways: Sip lukewarm water. Suck on an orange slice. Snack on a soda cracker or bread stick. Don't go slathering all your meals in hot sauce. Even if you might not be a master chef, you should consider expanding the contents of your spice rack, which will liven up your meals tremendously. A great start is with a classic marinara sauce. You can add oregano one week, swapping it for thyme or basil in the following weeks. Once you understand how different spices affect your meals, you can branch out and perform the same experiment with different foods. Your sense of smell plays a vital role in how you taste different foods. As you eat, chemicals are released that reach olfactory receptors in your nose, which combine with your tastebuds to create the flavors you know. Here are a few ways to improve your sense of smell: Exercise. Our sense of smell is most attuned right after exercise, this will make you more sensitive to the way your food tastes. Eat only when you're hungry. Your sense of smell is much more sensitive when you are at your hungriest. . Long-term smoking can damage the nerves that detect smells. Do this gradually, and ask your doctor for recommendations on how to quit smoking. Wine and cheese tasting are the most common, as they are known for having strong tastes with subtle differences. For instance, you might be able to tell the difference between a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Pinot Noir, but might not be able to describe each flavor accurately. Attending these types of events exposes you to people with refined palates, which will let you learn the language used when describing flavors, as well as letting you experience them for yourself. You can find these events through a quick online search through directories such as Local Wine Events.

This may sound crazy, but it's actually a great rule of thumb when you're trying to speak kindly and mind your manners. You probably wouldn't curse someone out in front of your grandmother, even if you really, really want to. This is great when you absolutely have to be nice to someone but don't even know how to start. Whether or not you agree with them, they have got to feel heard. People often lash out at others because they feel like that is the only way they will be heard or taken seriously. Maintain eye contact and nod to convey that you're taking in their words. Say things like, "I understand what you're saying." This does NOT mean that you agree with it, but that you are taking in everything. Do not interrupt. Do not speak over them. Just let them say what they need to say. Tell them that you can see that they're angry or upset, and simply ask what you can do to alleviate their stress. Just offering this can help the situation immensely. If you cannot do what they ask of you, try to find a compromise. Make effort to end the tense situation by being helpful. By asking them what they need, they also may realize that there isn't anything you can do personally. This might help them realize that they're taking their anger out on the wrong person. It's great to keep calm and speak kindly to them, but you can take it one step further to alleviate any tension or friction that may exist in the relationship. The most important thing is to be genuine and gracious, and a random act of kindness or a spontaneous favor can go a long way. If you're dealing with a grumpy coworker, pick up an extra coffee for them in the morning. Not only will they appreciate the gesture, but the caffeine may improve their mood as well! Deliver sweet treats or flowers to a callous neighbor. It's a lovely favor that is outside of your comfort zone, and it will show them that you want a friendly relationship. Give them a handwritten note. Let them know what you appreciate about them or simply wish them a great day. Handwritten notes are less common nowadays, and they show the person that you've put in time and effort to brighten their day. The easiest way to be genuine is to be transparent with the other person. If you're doing them favor or giving them a gift because you want to improve your relationship, just say that! Clarify that your kindness is wholeheartedly sincere, and eliminate any suspicion of sarcasm or ulterior motives.
