Part II : An accountants cloud. Its features and importance

By TC Griffin


To replace their in-house server most businesses purchase a Cloud, this gives them an online edition of a product that they can access any time and anywhere. The Accountants cloud also hosts the clients and is therefore a bit difficult It is a direct reflection of their firm and must perform for their clients as they themselves would. This presentation includes all of the details involved with the cloud product including ease of use, security, and of course performance. It is important to recognize these differences and see that if the Accountant is hosting their client's data on their Cloud and they go down for any reason, not only is the Accounting Firm down, but their clients are down as well. Purchasing a Cloud Computing provider is a serious decision, failing in this task is devastating for both the Accounting firm and its clientele.

Accountants differ from other businesses by using more than the traditional office suite. There are a number of things Accountants can use Cloud based services for. The list is endless to the type of programs and applications that Accountants, their employees and the clients use. Real-time data is essential to the end result.

One of the most important features that accountants take into consideration when choosing a Cloud provider is security. Cloud will host their client's financial information and confidential records without risk to security breach at any time. Be sure to find out where the actual servers are located and what they are doing to ensure your data is secure as well as their redundancies. It is obvious that an Accountant cannot re-create the physical or intellectual security that an enterprise level hosting company can, but the details in which that host rolls out their security protocols needs to be researched as well. A typical standard of any Cloud Computing provider is that they are at a SAS70 Type II data center that is highly secure as well as staffed with on-site security at all times. You can save money by outsourcing data storage to the Middle East or Asia.. Though it is perfectly acceptable to the Accountant, the IRS requires that the client notifies and sign a release to confirm that they too are comfortable with their data being sent outside the US. The technical support team may also be outsourced and this is something to be sure to ask about when researching the proper provider of Cloud services for an accounting firm.

Now that the Accountants Cloud has been distinguished as needing some specialization and is not cookie-cutter virtualization, let's discuss the benefits of the Cloud to the Accounting Professional and why a firm would want to take the leap. Business companies take to cloud for great many reasons, but the most compelling and common reasons for an accounting firm are mentioned here.

Cost Savings: Numerous firms fail to recognize their excessive, annual IT expenditures. When you add all of the costs up, using the cloud instead of having many other solutions can save up to 50% annually on IT.

Security: It is a misnomer that using the Cloud is less safe than using a normal client server setup. The cloud services providers have made a secure environment that one firm couldn't create without spending an extreme amount of money.

Convenience: The cloud offers anytime access. The accountant only needs internet access to get their files.

Scalability: You pay for what you use and use what you need, like a computing power grid. Nobody buys huge servers anymore. Virtualization has created an environment that is more cost effective than a traditional IT managed infrastructure.

Shift the Focus: Accountants need to focus on their skills and not IT management. By using the cloud, accountants can now focus on billable hours vs IT work.

Collaboration: Let's you work well with others. This provides real time numbers and financial data to help the client and the accountant to make important business decisions

Transforming IT: The new trend is to move away from a hardware set up to an IT where you pay as you go.

New Service Offerings: New and innovative service contributions enable Cloud services to proffer its accountants with additional sources of revenue and profits. They can charge their clients for "e-services" like an online portal, document management and storage, disaster recovery plan and much more.

In Conclusion: Its easy to throw the word Cloud around and there are a lot of companies that offer Cloud services. Meeting a client's specific need of give them a specialized product that brands their company as well as an all in one virtual office solution is often the most challenging problem. It's important for modern accounting firms to research their options when selecting a vendor; they should ensure that their vendor is secure, can adapt, and that it has accounting technology. The benefits of moving to the Cloud are evident, the timing and the selection of who to provide those services is more complex.

Separation anxiety: what's normal and when to be concerned

By Shelly Newman


Just about every parent has experienced separation anxiety. Perhaps your child cries for you when you drop him or her off at daycare, or they cling to you when a new babysitter arrives for the evening. These behaviors are not only quite common, they're also perfectly normal, depending on your child's age and developmental level. If your elementary-age child exhibits school refusal, it might be a sign of an underlying, clinically significant separation anxiety disorder.

It is possible to treat school refusal and improve your child's chances of performing well in school. However, it's important to treat early and effectively.

School refusal: the facts

* School refusal occurs in 75 percent of children who have separation anxiety disorder.

* Separation anxiety is defined as an anxiety disorder that affects children 18 and younger and lasts for at least four weeks.

* If you experience school refusal or separation anxiety from your child, you should also get him or her screened for selective mutism, which is the inability to speak in certain settings and often considered a type of social phobia. In some cases, school refusal can be a sign of selective mutism.

What's normal?

In fact, separation anxiety is part of normal child development. Separation anxiety in infants and toddlers is normal until age 4. Mild stress, emotional reactions and clinging to caregivers are all symptoms of normal separation anxiety.

Should I be concerned?

If extreme anxiety surrounds your child's school refusal, he or she might have clinically significant separation anxiety. Consider whether your child exhibits these symptoms

* Unrealistic or persistent worrying that something bad will happen to a loved one. This symptom might be especially apparent when the child is faced with the possibility of separation from the primary caregiver.

* Severe emotional or physical distress

* The inability to perform basic functions because of the severity of the anxiety. This includes resisting sleep unless the caregiver is near, temper tantrums and nightmares about separation.

* A strong desire to contact or return to the caregiver when separated

* Physical symptoms such as stomachaches, heart palpitations, dizziness, nausea, cramps, vomiting and muscle aches

What does it mean?

If your child's anxiety progresses to school refusal, he or she might be at risk for decreased academic and social achievement later in life. Studies show that first-graders whose anxiety significantly affects their academic performance have lower performance in math and reading five years later. Additionally, children with separation anxiety might suffer depression years later or abuse substances.

Where does it start?

These days, schools, sports teams and colleges are more competitive than ever. Many parents understandably want their children to succeed, but emphasizing that success too early on could pile unnecessary stress on your child. In elementary school, recess games shouldn't become competitive sports; they are a valuable opportunity for your child to learn teamwork, fitness and friendly competitiveness without the pressure of needing to win. When studying for tests, children should be allowed to develop good learning methods, study habits and test-taking skills without feeling like they must get an A. Friendship and community service should be gratifying social opportunities, not networking or resume filler.

How stress affects different age groups?

As you might imagine, the pressures faced by your second-grader are different than the ones your 15-year-old experiences. In the same way, stress implements itself differently. Elementary-school children are still learning self-control. Their social skills aren't fully developed, and they are trying to learn how to control their emotions and make friends. Because they're still learning, outbursts can happen. If parents and teachers don't recognize occasional misbehavior as part of a completely normal developmental process, the child can experience stress.

Signs that your young child could be stressed:

* Fears and nightmares

* Stomachaches and headaches

* Negativity and lying

* Withdrawal or severe shyness

Pre-adolescent children face possibly the most difficult age. They could be experiencing any number of changes-physical changes, hormonal fluctuations, changing schools and more. The result can be frustration in their inability to master situations they previously could. It is important for parents to be available listeners for middle-schoolers. In some cases, you might be their only source of constant support and unconditional acceptance. The most important thing to offer a pre-adolescent is patience. They might be unwilling to talk, or they might be experimenting with things you don't like. Make the effort to spend time with them, but establish your house rules. Let them know that you're always there to listen and support them, but hold them to their responsibilities.

High school-age kids face the enormous stress of getting into college. With admissions becoming increasingly competitive, they have to consider the advice of their peers, parents, and school counselors. Do they pursue the major Dad wants them to, or do they enroll in a program that matches their passions? Can they afford to go to a good college? Will they have to take on student loans? Will they be homesick if they choose a college far away? Will they even have good enough grades to get into college? The stress can be overwhelming.

Stress can be evident if grades drop and misbehavior escalates. Some teens attempt to micro-control the parts of life they can and develop eating disorders. Some go the other route and abuse substances. If you see a change in grades or attendance, lack of interest in school or at home, or any significant change in your child's normal behavior, he or she might be overstressed.

The best way to alleviate your teenager's stress is to respect their ability to make decisions while offering advice and support. You must give up some control while still monitoring their behavior and intervening if necessary. Curfews and mandatory check-ins are good ideas, especially when your teen can drive. Keep open communication with them, but allow them some freedom.

How to find a balance

It's not that children should never feel stress-challenges can actually help the brain develop, as children learn new things. Mastering something new always produces some amount of stress, but too much stress is never a good thing. When stress begins affecting your child's development, he or she could become immobilized and experience stunted development.

Balancing age-appropriate guidelines and expectations with your child's natural learning process isn't easy. But with the right kind of encouragement, you can help motivate your child without putting unhealthy pressure on them.

* DO maintain perspective.

Remember that everyone makes mistakes, and nobody's perfect. It seems like common sense, but parents tend to get caught up in the potential they see for their children and forget that they aren't superhuman. Think about the way you'd like to be treated by a superior. Do your expectations for yourself align with the ones you have set for your child? Chances are, you've been given some wiggle room in your own life, so make sure you're giving the same to your child.

* DO choose praise over rewards

Rewards are a natural tool many parents use to provide their children with incentive, motivation and gratification. But experts say that offering rewards-such as candy, a special toy or money-might not be the most effective form of motivation. Instead, work to instill a sense of pride in your child. When he or she achieves something great, offer verbal praise, and ask them, "Aren't you proud of yourself?" Tying hard work to a strong self-worth and self-confidence will help your child develop work habits related to those qualities, not material goods.

* DO hang out with your children.

Spending time together is one of the best ways to recognize, prevent,and manage stress for your child. Quality time allows everyone to develop healthy and realistic expectations of each other. You will be better equipped to offer support if your child is experiencing stress.

* DON'T be a rule breaker.

A child's home life significantly affects all other aspects of what he or she does. If the home life is unstable, it can contribute to a feeling out of control and, ultimately, stress. Set rules for your household, and stick to them. When a child can rely on a routine he or she is comfortable with, new challenges and experiences won't seem so daunting.

* DON'T talk at them-DO talk with them.

Communication is a two-way street. Ask your children to tell you their side of the story, and resist merely punishing them when they misbehave. If you understand the reason they acted out, you can help them move past it in a constructive way that will assist in their development. Likewise, have conversations with your children about what they're learning, what they're excited about and what scares them. The more you know, the better you'll understand the pressures they face academically, socially and developmentally.

Getting More Tumblr Followers The Easy Way

By Rinny Todd


If you are new to social media marketing, it can be somewhat daunting, because there are so many websites to choose from. But, the good thing about this kind of websites is that they work pretty much the same. The difference is only in your actions and results they bring. It might get frustrating, seeing that your marketing actions bring no results. But, there are some simple steps that will help you in getting more Tumblr followers.

It is always good to track other people when first starting out on Tumblr. Accordingly, take a look at the big boys and follow them. They will have hundred and thousands doing the same, but a fraction of these will inevitably come to you too.

You should follow people you have similar interests with, which will also add some new visitors to your profile. Members who have similar interests tend to follow each other. Then, their visitors may be a part of your traffic as well.

There is caution needed here however. Simply signing up to follow as many people as possible with a view to getting deflected followers will be seen by many as spam. As such, keep things relevant and have a dedicated process on a daily or weekly basis.

Reblogging is a winning plan too, particularly of popular blogs. This gives presence to both parties which always goes down well, whilst adding a comment can help a great deal too. Simply liking what other people are saying, commenting on, and showing, is also good; it all gets your name out there; which is the point really.

These are great ways to attract more guests to your profile. But, very soon your visitors might drift away, if they see that nothing new and exciting is happening on your profile. People rarely think twice about leaving and finding something else to do online.

Make sure that your profile is not only attractive but also interesting and useful. Information should be relevant and really help people. Thinking of an interesting and unique nickname also works. People are more likely to remember an unusual nickname. If you post pictures, it is good to comment on them as well. This will provide people with explanation, which they appreciate.

Keeping your posts as entertaining as possible is highly fundamental for getting more Tumblr followers. Again, this needs to be managed carefully though; too often and people will not appreciate it. Too few and, they will not see the point. As a minimum, a daily post at a regular time is good and certainly a great starting point.
