A Low-Priced Cup of Coffee With Rich History

by Leroy Calstard

Beer and wine are in close competition as far as the oldest man-made brew, but beer wins just slightly. Beer recipes date back as far as 6000 B.C. while winemaking only goes so far as the first millennium. Coffee came onto the scene just a few hundred years later, although how old the coffee plant is still is unclear. Some evidence suggests that people were eating the berries as much as a hundred thousand years ago.

It has been said that an Ethiopian goat herder saw his goats become very excited after eating the red berries from one of the nearby trees and experienced the same stimulation when trying the berries himself. By 600 A.D., this stimulating berry and the resulting brew from its dried and ground seeds made its way to the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula to a location called Yemen.

Some stories speak of a native of India smuggling these seeds from a tree in Arabia around 1650 A.D. after which he planted them in the Chikmagalur hills since the law of Arabia at the time did not permit the exportation of beans that could germinate. This successfully controlled the coffee trade for many years. Whether this is myth or historic fact, the berries from those seeds now make up one-third of India’s large coffee production.

The coffee bean then spread to many other countries thanks to travels of the Europeans, Dutch, French and British, among others. The Dutch introduced the coffee bean to Java during the eighteenth century which history relays as the famous tree the king of France coveted so greatly and that was finally gifted to him.

Louis XIV of France soon found that the tree did not grow well in frost and, consequently, he had a greenhouse built so he could continually be supplied with the beans that made the brew he so much desired. This is said to be the source of cultivators used in South and Central America.

Having reached Martinique around 1720 A.D., the seeds grew well in the Caribbean climate. Some of the thousands of trees that sprouted were transported to Mexico which is now one of the largest exporters of this coffee product.

The tree also grew well in the steamier environment of French Guiana when it finally reached this area around the same time. Francisco de Melo Palheta managed to get the help of the governor’s wife to help smuggle the seeds out of the country. The story is that she handed him a bouquet of flowers containing the forbidden bean as he prepared himself to leave for Brazil. Interestingly, Brazil has become one of the largest coffee producers.

From Brazil, these seeds made their way to Kenya and Tanzania during the late nineteenth century which is, coincidentally, not far from Ethiopia. They nearly made a large circle as they traveled the globe, only taking around six centuries to do so. So, next time you enjoy a tasty, low-priced cup of coffee at a local restaurant, think about the history behind that drink. It may be plentiful now, but there was a time when it what just beginning its journey to where it is today.

Nonprofit Reports – How to Complete Them Sooner Each Month

by Nancy Church

Monthly financial statements convey critical information to a nonprofit’s management and board. Sometimes, though, these people are in such a hurry to get the results after month-end that accountants feel pressure to take short-cuts and eliminate procedures they believe are necessary to create complete and accurate reports. Following are some problems accountants commonly face, and some suggestions for increasing month-end efficiency without compromising or distorting the message in the numbers.

Waiting for bank statments to arrive: Sometimes, your checking account statement doesn’t arrive in the mail for a week after month-end, and you have to hold up other procedures because you haven’t reconciled your accounting records to the bank. But you don’t have to wait anymore! Thanks to internet banking, you can have access to the checking account on-line. Internal controls over cash are not compromised if you have read-only access.

Late invoices from vendors: When you know you owe but the invoice hasn’t arrived, you don’t need to hold up your month-end close. If the amount you expect to owe is large enough that it will have a material effect on the results of operations, contact the vendor and ask for an email or fax of the invoice, or an estimate of the amount they’ll be billing. Post an estimate to Accrued Expenses as a reversing entry to the GL. Then, when the bill arrives, post it to AP as you normally would.

Difficulty with a reconciliation: Some accounts need to be reconciled before you issue financial statements – these are the ones where missing or incorrect data would cause managers to make different decisions than they would if that data were included or correct. But if only small amounts are involved – $50 here or $5 there – the financial reports will be just as useful before the reconciliations are done as they will afterwards. Weigh the benefits of timely reporting against the benefits of absolute accuracy, the disadvantages of missing information against those of tardiness.

Gathering back-up for credit card purchases: It’s common for some employees to be late in turning in their receipts to support charges they’ve made to organization credit cards. While you’re waiting for your reminders to be effective and cause the receipts to be turned in, you can code the unsupported expenses to an Employee Receivable account and close the month (or pay the bill).

Vendor invoices missing expense coding, or with coding that’s wrong: It’s worth your time to get accurate and complete expense coding – account, program, and funding source – before you post transactions. You can help managers and others get it right by using a custom-made rubber stamp that has a blank space where they are to write each bit of data that you need. Or you can set up a purchase order system, which requires the coding to be provided before a purchase is approved.

Executive directors or other colleagues’ urgent requests for reports or projects at the last minute: We’re all familiar with this one, and it can be difficult to manage without putting in overtime. It helps to be proactive: make sure you have a calendar showing when grant reports are due. At month-end before the closing process starts in earnest, ask your executive director about other requests that may be coming in the next week or two.

It may be a few months before you manage to clear all of these obstacles out of the way and even then, some of them will require monthly attention to make sure they don’t come back. The results will be worth whatever energy it takes, so stick with it until you experience the rewards!

Traditional Turkish: Inimitable

by Rob Carlton

Not a big shock, but coffee makers have been around basically since coffee has. The very first brewer was Turkish. It was called the Ibrik and it is a copper container, a long handle, and a grooved tongue all in one. It is still used to make coffee in the Middle East. There is no filtering involved which leaves the coffee quite strong.

For those who want a filtered cup of coffee there are many different kinds of brewers available. The most common of the current coffee makers is the conventional drip coffee machine. These are quite inexpensive now. But there are still certain things to look for. The drip makers work by water being poured into the machine, it is then heated by an electric coil and then the water passed through the coffee grounds, then a filter and into a glass coffee pot that sits on a heated plate, to keep the coffee warm. These of course are only the basics.

Just like the rest of the world, coffee makers have advanced with technology. There are drip machines now with LCD screens to display all the important things like time, brew time, temperature, and much more. More features than less may be preferred by most now. Although the degree of brew desired, is the minimum of extras. The auto-shutoff is quite a popular addition to the coffee maker, especially for those forgetful types. The auto shut-off also stops the coffee from flowing when the pot has been pulled away, for the impatient coffee drinkers. Then there are lighted displays when the bed head does not want to flick the light on or cannot find it.

The cleaning of coffee makers has advanced as well. With the new coffee pods, there are no lose grinds that can stuck to things and imbedded in crevasses. When the coffee has been brewed, the pod is simply thrown away. These are essential for the too busy to clean or the too lazy.

There are many different options as well when it comes to the water filters. Water filters are important for people who want to brew coffee but do not like their tap water. Although these filters can be pricey they are essential for some who wish to seek the ultimate in home made coffee.

There are coffee makers now that have permanent filters, so paper filters do not have to be used and discarded, however, the use of pods does take this element away as well. There are several debates about which way are more environmentally friendly and alter the taste less. There are also coffee brewers that come with attached coffee grinders, however, this can make clean up a little more difficult. It probably will no be too long before they come with attached roasters. Technology is good, but sometimes the old fashioned and traditional is best. Strong coffee lovers can always stick with the Turkish brew, it?s inimitable.

Area carpets may be a good choice

by Adam Peters

The article is about area carpets. It compares the alternatives like wood flooring and others.

Wood flooring give you a touch of the natural air, where as, the area rugs transform the entire look of your house from a wooden cottage to a lavish manor. But the debate that which of the two has a better appeal is always unsettled.

The beauty of nearly any room can be augmented with the help of area carpets. A large number of people love hardwood floors but that echoing sound and bareness that it causes is really annoying for some. Covering them with area carpets helps keeping the room warm and those echoing sounds can be reduced.

However, for most of the people the element that counts the most when they install hardwood floors is that it is a natural material. Such natural materials are great for the people who are allergic, as the dirt and dust do not become imbedded into the floors, which is quite the case with wall to wall carpeting. Most of these wall to wall carpets are composed of synthetic fibers.

There are other families who have a taste pre-developed for area rugs but suffering from allergies at the same time. For them the rugs made out of non-synthetic material always does it. Natural area carpets are offered in a wide collection of colors and styles and these carpets are sure to suit just about any d?cor.

Nice rug, if added, can increase the home d?cor and it also warmth in the environment. Area carpets, chosen with a sense of contrast, can increase the warmth and also provides with the stability in the rooms. Rooms with such setting look nice and give cozy feeling and above all it provides with the balance between the two.

The factor of comfort counts a lot. Hardwood flooring looks quite decent and beautiful but it remains a little cold and hard as well. On the other hand, area carpets make it more welcoming, comfortable and give your room a soft touch. Bare floorings are hard and cold which contrast with the area carpets.

Sparing sometime to your purchase decision can eligible you to make bold style statements. Area carpets not only add grace to your room but also enhance its beauty by putting in an air of formality. There is a variety available for you; you can have one with an Asian touch or the one with clean, modern design.

Initially the area rugs used to have a timeless appeal that could suit almost any home. You have a Victorian home even a country cottage you can easily find a numerous area carpets for it. Traditional-style homes are still incomplete without the classic touch.

Homes that have in them a touch of relaxation like islands can also benefit from the area carpets, specifically the rugs that possess natural fibers and casual style. These settings can provide the perfect environment for a laid-back design which can functional and it looks attractive as well.

These carpets do allow echoing sounds. They can help to maintain the warmth and comfort and they can count a lot to your homes style and personality. Reviewing and thinking over the options can also help you unveil yourself as well. Reviving and changing your settings can make your thinking patterns a little more flexible and that counts.
