A Certificate of Status is sometimes called a Certificate of Compliance or a Certificate of Good Standing and in Ontario a Certificate of Status is issued by the Ontario Ministry of Government Services. All companies can obtain a Certificate of Status in the jurisdiction in which they have been incorporated.

Certificates of Status are issued when you need to provide some institution or person with confirmation that your Ontario company is in good standing and is up-to-date in its filings.

If you obtain an Ontario Certificate of Status it will show the following: (a) the current name of the corporation; (b) the number assigned to the corporation by the government called the Ontario Corporation Number; and (b) whether or not the corporation is in good standing.

All Ontario companies have to file a federal tax return within six months of the financial year end of the company in each year. If returns are not filed the tax department will request the Ontario Companies Branch to dissolve the company. If a Certificate of Status is ordered for a dissolved company it will not be clear.

Ontario companies must file Ontario annual returns each year and if those returns are not filed for a number of years the company will be dissolved. You will not receive a favourable Certificate of Status if a company has been dissolved for non-filing of Ontario annual returns.

When you order an Ontario Certificate of Status it will be issued whether it is clear or not and you cannot get your money back if it is not clear. The Certificate will show the company is not in good standing. Before you will be able to obtain a clear Certificate of Status you will need to update your filings. Any document that is being certified by the Ontario government has a high cost to it. Therefore you will want to ensure that you know in advance whether your company is in good standing so you do not have to order the certificate more than once. If you have outstanding tax returns you can still get a favourable Certificate of Status as long as you have not been dissolved for this reason but you will not receive a favourable certificate if Ontario annual returns are outstanding

An Ontario Certificate of Status is not the same thing as an Ontario company search. If you are looking to find out information such as addresses, names of officers and directors of a company, etc., this would be considered a corporate search and an Ontario Corporate Profile Report should be obtained instead.

If your corporation is selling or buying property, is entering into a major contract, wants to register a car against the corporation, a Certificate of Status might be requested by the law firm, by the government or the bank involved. Any corporation might be asked for confirmation that it has made its proper filings and be requested to provide a Certificate of Status.

Resources for Canadian Business Owners provides information about an Ontario Certificate of Good Standing and other legal products including Ontario Company Searches.

There was once a canal linking the city to Port Carlisle but this has since been filled in. Today the railway follows the old canal.

There is still some very well known food companies with manufacturing plants and offices located in the area such as Kangol, Metal Box and Carr’s of Carlisle. One of the largest employers of local residents was Cavaghan & Gray as they produced refrigerated products for many of the well known supermarkets. Carr’s is known worldwide for their biscuits and crackers.

Many railway lines run through the city and at one time over 7 stopped here. This was once the home of the largest railway marshaling yard in all of Europe but it has since closed down. The West coast Main Line is the main railway today and it stops at the citadel stations. Citadel station is also the terminus for the Settle Carlisle railway line.

Football is common in Carlisle and the local team is Carlisle United. The first of the football teams was formed in 1928 and while it has been successful over the years Carlisle United is more known for producing excellent players rather than a top football team.

The interior design of any personal or office space should take care of many vital aspects. By sticking to the basic tenets given below, most of the important matters will be taken care of. Each of them plays a significant role in the attractiveness of a place, though they may be used in different ways in various situations.

Unity: This entails the idea that the whole house or any other structure is to be seen as a single unit, partitioned or divided only by walls and staircases, and that there should exist a certain amount of internal consistency in the design of the unit as a whole. The central theme should never be lost sight of.

Balance: This means appropriately arranging objects in a given space. It is crucial to position objects with comparable visual character at cautiously chosen positions to get that ideal balance from a specific point. There are three types of balance. The first is symmetrical, which is the most conventional, and the easiest to achieve. The second is asymmetrical, which needs a great deal of imagination, but is increasingly popular. The third type of balance is radial, where you pick a proper centre and place things relative to it.

Proportion: This takes into account sizes of different objects in relation with each other. It is vital that different objects are in sync with each other and with the space as far as proportions are concerned. The absence of proportionality will make some pieces of furniture stand out, while certain others will be subdued, which will significantly hamper the overall beauty of the room.

Focus: A focal point in interior design of a room is essential for its attractiveness. What type of focal item you pick is up to you. It could be any attractive thing like a nice painting or a furniture item. This object must make an impression on the observer and also be relevant to the design of the rest of the room. It must be appealing without seeming irrelevant in the room.

Rhythm: This is again a necessary factor of good interior design. The design should seem to flow according to a pattern from one point to another. Using several arcs, ornate walls or ceilings, decorative fixtures at carefully chosen distances, alternate shades etc can help attain a discernible rhythm.

Bearing these guidelines in mind will help in effective and appealing interior designing of your house. However, it is best to use the expertise of an interior design professional who can assist you with these factors and much more.

How do we teach one another? How can it be that we were instructed in everything that we now know?

At some points in history, knowledge was elitist and even a forbidden concept. In 399 BC, Socrates explained that he was known as the wisest of all men since he understood that he knew nothing. Socrates was ultimately executed because of his unyielding questioning to the Athens population to find out how they knew what they knew.

In this days, we still ask Socratic questions and have yet to fully understand the answers; however, technology is bringing us closer and closer.

Science and technology discovered is that the human brain is capable of processing 10,000 to 50,000 units or single words in one minute. But, these are older statistics from the 1980s, but new technology studying speed reading combined with brain development research indicates that you can most likely read even faster. Most high school graduates read 200 words per minute, down from 252 wpm from 25 years ago. College students, only one or two years older, have improved to 120% words per minute simply from having to read so much and the brain practicing reading so much. Regardless, of your beginning reading speed “increases for 50-60% the first day is more than likely, in two days of reading practice ” youve doubled your reading speed.

The brain is a computer composed of human organic materials. If you were to consider your brain as the hardware (CPU = Central Processing Unit or a computers own brain) and your mind (the thoughts you think) as the software, you wouldnt be far from what the scientists evaluating the brain believe; that the mind and brain are component parts of our physical bodies is to give us an efficient way to determine more things.

The human mind is connected to our physical bodies to make life more convenient for us to learn and succeed. This amazing tool allows us to absorb a universe of knowledge in many different ways.

Childhood education creates the first limitations to reading ability. Heres what the first two years usually look like to a young learner of language: 1. First, we are introduced to the alphabet and how each letter sounds. 2. Then, we move on to put letters together into syllables and hear their unique sounds. 3. Later, we formed words and their individual pronunciations. 4. Then, we progressed to sentences and lastly paragraphs, which we read loudly.

In that learning method, we move our lips slowly and carefully so that we would pronounce each syllable and every word clearly. There were entire classes dedicated to learning how to read out loud.

We did pronounce every single word correctly, and then we were praised by our teacher and we felt the thrill and excitement because we were learning so well. Soon, it was determined that we could indeed read, so we no longer read in the classroom out loud. Most of us, nevertheless, were still concentrating on the syllables and reading each word out loud to ourselves for confirmation. This phenomenon, called sub-vocalization, is what causes us to have the 200-300 words per minute limitation to our reading speeds in high school and University. Interestingly, its the same speed at which most people talk (unless you live in the Southern US and have learned the Southern Drawl that slows you down even more).

Theres been research to show that high school students that use speed reading techniques can double their reading speed. When these techniques are practiced on a regular basis, the results are even more impressive.

With the power of the brain and mind combined, you can stretch out and achieve far greater abilities. In fact, the quantity of words that can be read per minute has no bounds. It is only a persons inner voice that can limit us, stop us and confuse us while reading or studying.

These voices tend to Babble On while you are striving to perform tasks, such as reading. It is the same voice that can make you panic before an exam. It is only when you quiet this Babblers voice that you can truly transfer and speed read material at a phenomenal rate.

SPEED READING can assist you to overcome slow reading habits developed from your early education. You can then retrain yourself to read faster.

It is remarkable how your brain and mind have the ability to absorb thousands of bits of information in a small amount of time. You are like many people that read slowly on account of early education. You become bogged down when you are mouthing syllables and words. Even though you have developed these bad habits in early education, its great to know that from this moment on, you can retrain yourself to be a powerful SPEED READER and your potential has no limit.

One benefit of Speed Reading is that it can help you in reading and understanding written information much quicker. Speed Reading is useful in careers, especially where you are required to master large volumes of information quickly. Many people run into burn out from information overload. Speed Reading assists you to absorb and retain, for later recall, all the information that you read.
