I'm getting February's financials out a week earlier than I normally would, because I'm going to do a three-part series on safety and compliance, and I want to be able to do them all in a row, without interruption. Here is a sneak peek for what the episodes will be about. Episode 41 - What Is the FMCSA CSA Program? Episode 42 - How To Prepare for a DOT Audit Episode 43 - How To Pass a DOT New Entrant Audit What To Expect From Episode 40 February could have been worse. I had to take more than half the month off because of my military service, so I didn't start my first load until the 18th. With that being said, I still made a profit. Here is a quick overview. Craig and I talk about all the details during the episode. Scroll to the bottom and you’ll see copies of the Profit and Loss Statement and the Balance Sheet. Total miles ran - 4,668 Deadhead miles - 247 (5%, Much better than last month) Total revenue - $10,087.00 All-in rate-per-mile - $2.16 Full days on the road - 5 Partial days on the road - 4 In the end Haulin Assets realized a profit of $2,427.52, which is pretty good for having to have the truck sit for over half the month.

Tim Gearty, Editor-In-Chief and National Lead Instructor for Becker CPA Review, as well as Managing Partner for Gearty & McIntyre, joined us for this episode of Life In Accounting, a podcast production of Where Accountants Go. Snow Shoveling Is Hard Work Like most of our episodes, we started off by asking how Tim got into the accounting profession.  And like many guests, it came down to a very practical decision for Tim early in life.  He had experienced other ways of making income as a kid (snow shoveling, a paper route, etc), and realized that many of those required a high amount of physical labor.  That was hard work!    So instead, when a family friend suggested he consider accounting as a potential career choice, he felt it would be a more practical way to make a good living. His career started as many do.  He worked for a short while in industry, and then with Peat Marwick Mitchell, a predecessor to KPMG.  After about 3-4 years in public accounting, he decided to take time off for law school. Becoming an Instructor Almost immediately after deciding to pursue law school, he was invited to become a professor due to an emergency need at the university.  He found that he thoroughly enjoyed teaching, and by the time he was finished with law school he found that it wasn't necessary for him to return to a full-time accounting role at a national firm.  With both his teaching income as well as accounting work that he had picked up along the way, he was actually better off.  Plus, he loved helping others learn, so continuing along the teaching route just made sense. Present Day Tim now spends his professional efforts in three main areas, as managing partner for their accounting firm, providing CPE for Fortune 100 companies, and in his role with Becker of course.  You can tell from the interview that he is extremely passionate about his work, and he definitely enjoys the variety. We couldn't end the podcast without getting Tim's insights on passing the CPA exam as well of course.  Make sure you listen all the way to the end.  Tim shares not only some insights into being successful with the exam, but also some of the pitfalls that candidates can encounter these days. If you find value in this episode, please also check out our episode on “How To Pass the Exam” where we interviewed 5 recently certified CPAs on the techniques they used to ensure they passed. Thank you again for joining us.  To listen in on our interview with Tim Gearty, please click on the player below:

What’s the difference between straw and hay? Cattle and poultry? To sow and to plough? You’ll learn some farming and agriculture vocabulary in this episode of Aprender Inglés con Reza y Craig. Las notas del episodio y más podcasts para mejorar tu ingles están en: http://www.inglespodcast.com/  Shownotes and more podcasts to improve your English at: http://www.inglespodcast.com/  Voice message from Tania from Ukraine living in Spain ("Thank you a million") What is the fastest and easiest way to learn vocabulary? Read! Apps or notebook Memrise (flashcards) - Website: http://www.memrise.com/  Write words on Post-it notes and stick them around your flat or office Duolingo - Website: http://www.duolingo.com/Duolingo  (iOS /Android) Use mnemonics (memory tricks) - ‘rathaus’ Research show that it's better to write down vocabulary and other information by hand rather than digitally. Voice message from Juan from Argentina who’s in Australia Farming and Agriculture Barn - a farm building (granero) - Were you born in a barn? - Close the door! Have you ever been to a barn dance? Cattle - animals like cows and oxen (buey) used for meat or milk Poultry - chickens and turkeys, etc. Livestock (ganado) Dairy = made from milk - vaquería (farm), lechería (store, shop), dairy product (producto lacteo) Crops - (cosecha, cultivo) We had a bad corn crop this year. Maize is an important crop. (sweetcorn, corn on the cob) Crop rotation - The practice of rotating use of different fields from crop to crop each year, to avoid exhausting the soil. Harvest - (cosecha, cosechar) ‘A bumper harvest’ = a very good harvest Vintage - Cosecha de vino To pick - (escoger, coger) pick flowers, fruit, grapes. You can pick grapes from a vine whick grows in a vinyard. Drought - sequía - Did you know that Spain imported water by ship in 2008? Drought in Spain’s northeastern region of Catalonia grew so severe in 2008 that Barcelona began importing water by ship from France. Soil (tierra) erosion Fertile land (producing crops) Fertilize (fertilizar) - fertilizer (fertilizante) Irrigation (irrigacíon, reigo) Orchard (fruit trees) an apple orchard, a cherry orchard ripe - maduro Pesticide (chemicals that you spray on crops) Hay - heno (dried grass) Hay bale/bale of hay - paca de heno Straw - paja To plough - arar To plant (plantar, sembrar) - to sow seeds To sow - sembrar. “To sow the seeds of...doubt (duda)/unrest (inquietud)” To reap - segar/cosechar. “To reap the rewards”= to benefit from good work/planning "You reap what you sow" Idioms to farm something out - to send work to someone to be done away from one's normal place of business; to subcontract work. “We farmed the podcasting editing out.” a funny farm – a hospital for people who are mentally ill Example: My grandmother had to send my uncle to the funny farm when she couldn’t take care of him at home anymore. Note (¡OJO!): This is a humorous or funny expression, but could be considered rude by some people. I’m so hungry I could eat a horse – to be very hungry until the cows come home – for a very long time I could record podcasts until the cows come home! the last (final) straw – the last of a series of events/annoyances/disappointments that lead a person to losing his or her patience/temper/hope “He’s been late a few times, but this is the last straw!” “Yesterday my neighbours were partying until 3pm. This was the last straw. I called the police. From the proverb: “It is the last straw that breaks the camel's back” spring chicken – a young person I’m no spring chicken! to make hay while the sun shines – (hay = heno) to take the opportunity to do something when the time and conditions are right - Work was going really well, so I decided to make hay while the sun shines and keep working for another 3 hours. don’t put all your eggs in one basket – don’t make everything dependent on one thing (same in Spanish) to reap what you sow – every action has a consequence; what you do comes back to you one way or another. If you treat your friends badly, you won’t have any friends. ‘What goes around comes around) This expression is usually used in a negative sense. (reap = cosechar “to reap the benefits of a situation = see the fruit) to take the bull by the horns – to be brave and confront difficult situations If you’re unhappy in your job, perhaps you take the bull by the horns and leave your company. Discussion Have you ever worked on a farm or picked fruit? Have you ever driven a tractor? Would you like to see more organic farming? Why (not)? Are you worried about too much intensive farming? ...and now it's your turn to practise your English. Are there any farms in your area? Have you ever worked on a farm like Juan?

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/PortraitEvanTroxel.jpg () How To Pass the Architect Registration Exam When Real Life Gets in the Way How long did it take you to become a licensed architect? How many years went by before you focused on your studies and passed the Architect Registration Exam (ARE)? How do you do all the things that are going on in your life and find enough time to study and pass the ARE? This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Evan Troxel of Archispeak Podcast talks about How to Hack Your Life for ARE Success and Beyond. Evan grew up in the mountains as a very outdoor-loving person, always building houses and projects out of rocks and sticks. He jokes that his dad must have had the longest-standing permit for an addition to their house in Tahoe where they worked indoors in the winter and outdoors in the summer. He learned carpentry and construction skills from working with his dad, loved taking this apart and putting them back together, and developed technical drawing and writing skills throughout his education. He went on to win a Regional Opportunity Program (ROP) house design competition at the age of 16. He was accepted into Cal Poly Pomona, where he became aware that he would have to unlearn the things that he had learned all his life. In his third year, it finally clicked and he became more aware of why he was there: to be an architect. He currently works as a Senior Designer on higher education, K12 and civic projects. Evan loves involving his family and kids in helping to create things that allow them to go on adventures together. Right now, they’re working on designing a family camping trailer from the ground up. Follow their journey on http://spaceshop.co (SpaceShop.co). One day, Evan, http://naparchitect.com/ (Neal Pann), and http://www.flickr.com/photos/14003615@N04/sets/72157630449805880/ (Cormac Phalen) connected on Twitter following an AIA Convention and the idea of starting a podcast got thrown into the mix. They came together with various talents and created http://archispeakpodcast.com (Archispeak Podcast) as “the talk you’d hear in the office around the water cooler”. Evan’s newest project is a book he’s been working on about his 15-year process of completing the Architect Registration Exam and earning his license to practice architecture. http://www.arehacks.com (Learn more about ARE Hacks here). Why go through the Architect Registration Exam process when you don’t NEED to?  Becoming a Better Person // Studying caused Evan to get up earlier, cut out things that weren’t important to him or pushing him to grow, and create discipline in his life. Finding a Seat at the Table // Being a licensed architect allowed him to be “in the club” to make the profession better. Personal Pride // The title of “licensed architect” freed him and allowed him to acknowledge and take pride in the work he completed to get there. What are some life-hacks to accomplish the Architect Registration Exam? Ask yourself: Where can you study? When can you study? What are you studying? How will you have study materials with you when you need them? How can you show up every day to accomplish the task? It’s very easy to schedule a test and show up to take it, but the hard part is to prepare: diet, nutrition, how to deal with distractions, learning to study, choosing to study with others or without, how to study around your family, etc. It’s less about hacking the ARE and more hacking your life. What is the one thing that small firm architects can do today to build a better business tomorrow? “Start. Whatever your ideas are, whatever you’re thinking about doing, don’t wait anymore: start. If you start today, you’re not taking on a giant mountain all at once, you’ll chip away at it one piece at a time.” – Evan Troxel You can sign up...
