Hey People, I started with a small gift shop in the neighbourhood shopping precinct and later started a website and online shopping. It changed the shape of my business as orders started pouring in from across Victoria. My wife helped out with the accounts as she had studied accounts and had done it before. However as things moved up, it became difficult to manage things, so I outsourced the task. But when I was shown the reports, I didn’t know how to interpret them. So my wife educated me about the same. If you too are facing difficulty in understanding your reports, then take a look at the article shared here.
So far this year nine* women have been killed in Australia by violence at the hands of men.

Artist Paulette Hayes wept when she saw yet another death and felt compelled to honour these women in her artwork ‘Control. Abuse. Kill. She’ll be right mate’.
Comprised of 79 houses intricately crafted out of scrapbooking paper, the series honours the 79 women who died over the course of one year in Australia from a violent crime.
“The thing about paper is it’s very fragile,” Ms Hayes said.
Motioning to one of her small, picket-fenced houses, the Lismore artist said, “I could just hit that with one fist, and it’s destroyed”.
Ms Hayes carefully researched each death that occurred throughout the year 2013, the lives of the victims and the circumstances of their deaths, and built each paper house as a memorial to those women, incorporating symbols inspired by their story of life and death.
“What I’ve done in each of them is to try and put the story inside of them,” she said.
“Because they’re mainly a memorial, I want them to be beautiful.”
Wallabies great Paul McLean has replaced Cameron Clyne as chairman of the Rugby Australia board effective immediately.
McLean will take over the role on an interim basis to aid in the transition of the new chair, who will be elected at the RA annual general meeting next month.
The move means McLean, 66, will have oversight at a crucial time amid the governing body’s broadcast rights negotiations, collective bargaining agreement and 2027 Rugby World Cup bid.
Initially intending to stay on as chairman until the AGM on March 30, Clyne will remain on the board until that date.
“The board has collectively made the decision to make this change, with the full support of Cameron, to enable us to provide support and a comfortable transition for the new chair following the AGM,” McLean said in a statement.
Clyne revealed in November he would not be seeking re-election this year, and said that negative sentiment and media coverage contributed to his decision to step down.
“Unfortunately, recently, much of the focus of the media has been directed at myself, which has overshadowed a lot of great work that has been done and continues to be done at the community level through to the national level by our volunteers, administrators, players, coaches, and match officials across the country,” Clyne said at the time.
“It is hoped that with my resignation, the attention can return to where it rightfully should be, which is on the field and that this positive work will be highlighted.”
Australia’s booming gas sector is becoming a drag on efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Three of the five largest-emitting sectors — electricity, agriculture and transport — all recorded reductions in carbon emissions in the year to September 2019.
The other two, known as “stationary energy”, which includes industrial and residential uses, and “fugitive emissions”, which includes leakages from fossil fuel production, both recorded increases.
The Department of Industry’s quarterly update on greenhouse gas emissions linked increases in both to the booming LNG sector.
Overall, emissions were flat in the year to September 2019, and 13 per cent below emissions in 2005.
Energy Minister Angus Taylor described the performance as a “very strong result”.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg was quick to scotch rumours recently that he was set to increase taxation on oil and gas mining in this year’s budget, despite indications that the outcome of a current treasury review could recommend changes to the application of the petroleum resource rent tax.
The fact that the current Senate inquiry into Australia’s oil and gas reserves has pushed its reporting date back, from 1 March to 16 September, also suggests that any decision to reform this notoriously ineffective tax is being put in the “too hard basket” by the government.
The moment you realise that there is something better than waxing and shaving, you jump at it. However, the lack of information and the myths related to the procedure make it all the more essential to read about it as much as possible. So when I started gathering data on laser hair removal, I came across a wealth of information about the way laser works on hair follicles and how it is an almost permanent solution. However, there is lack of information about the things that need to be done before the session. So here is an article that will help you get this info. Read on.
Fans of cricket in the 1990s rejoice – the iconic gold helmets are back!
Australia’s batsmen will don the famous yellow lids for the first time in two decades in next month’s Gillette ODI Series against New Zealand, adding an extra dash of retro goodness to the throwback series.
The return of the gold helmets will complement the official unveiling of a replica kit from Australia’s 1999 World Cup triumph, which the Aussies will wear during the series following an online fan vote last year.
The Australian government has released an Aboriginal man from immigration detention after a landmark high court case decided Aboriginal Australians are not aliens for the purpose of the constitution and cannot be deported.
On Tuesday afternoon the acting immigration minister, Alan Tudge, said the government is still reviewing the decision but “in the light of the court’s ruling, Mr [Brendan] Thoms was this morning released from immigration detention”.
Former resources minister Matt Canavan repeatedly delayed releasing documents about his interactions with coal lobbyists until he resigned his post, rendering a freedom of information request void.
The case again highlights a significant flaw in Australia’s FOI regime, which makes it exceedingly difficult to access documents held by a minister if they shift portfolios or resign.
In November, the Australian Conservation Foundation sought access to all records of Canavan’s interactions with New Hope Coal and its lobbyists in the weeks leading up to the announcement of a crackdown on the use of secondary boycotts by environmental activists.
As the number of people dying from coronavirus rockets well ahead of those killed by SARS, experts say the disease’s spread is now at a critical stage. Nine weeks after the novel coronavirus was first discovered, Australian infectious disease experts are only beginning to understand its severity, how it is spread and how to contain it.
In Australia, there are only 15 confirmed cases and Health Minister Greg Hunt said five people had recovered from the illness, while the remaining 10 were stable and in a “recovery process”.
So the question remains: with thousands of Australians dying every year from influenza, and no coronavirus deaths reported in Australia, why are we still so worried about it?
According to leading virologist Ian Mackay, from the University of Queensland, the fact China has been “swamped” with cases means there are still many unknowns about the disease.
“[At the moment] the Chinese authorities can’t even rely on the numbers being calculated in China,” Dr Mackay said. “Their hospitals have been inundated.
