In larger companies these guidelines are quite formal and can be found either in print form or electronically on the company’s intranet.

Introduction Government securities are obligations that the issuing government must meet. It is the role of governments and their appropriate agencies to issue government securities. Various governments issue securities for diverse reasons such as raising funds to finance deficit budgets as well as repaying national debts (Boston Institute of Finance 5). Various securities such as treasury notes, bonds as well as bills are issued via the treasury department to the citizens. The United States government offers a safe way of investment since its securities bear minimal risks. As a result, their yield is generally low as compared to investments made in the high-risk corporate world. The issuance of government securities is based on the condition of repaying a certain amount upon maturity. The paper focuses on the various aspects of the treasury bills, which are the most issued government securities. Treasury Bills Among the various government securities, such as floating rate notes, treasury notes and bonds as well as savings bonds, treasury bills are the most issued. They are vital in diversifying an investor’s investment portfolio as well as providing a secure and low risk short-term investment. The US government sells securities to its citizens electronically, through the primary market and/or secondary markets. The primary market is mainly for newly issued securities while the secondary market is for securities that are changing hands. Treasury bills are a direct way of short-term investment since their maturities range from a month, six months up to a year. The minimum period of owning treasury bills is ninety days, the 91-day bills then wait until they are mature for repayment. The US government issues the treasury bills through a rigorous bidding process and at a discount from their face value. This means that only the appreciation of the bills yield returns to the investors since they do not earn interest like other securities such as conventional bonds. The issuance of treasury bills is done through denominations of $1000 to a maximum of five million dollars in the secondary market. However, in the primary market, the minimum denomination is $100. The selling of treasury bills is in the book- entry form as opposed to paper security as with other government securities. In the year in which the treasury bills mature, a federal tax is payable by the investor to the government to facilitate the raising of finances (Boston Institute of Finance 3). However, the income is free from local and state taxation. The interest rate for Treasury bills is determined during auctioning since the sale is via the bidding process. The rates also depend on the period of investment such as four, thirteen, twenty-six, and fifty-two weeks. As of 31 January 2014, the average interest rate for Treasury bills was 0.085%. However, the secondary m
Introduction Graham Greene’s work, “ the destructors” has on many occasions elicited debate on whether it is commercial or literary fiction. This is because the analysis of the whole story reveals that it’s more bent towards a commercial than literal fiction. This essay aims to analyze and arrive at a conclusion on whether this great story is commercial or literary fiction. This will be primarily achieved through the analysis of the story and structure. Story and Structure First, the story uses some of the basic formulas that are inherent in commercial fiction. The existence of a protagonist whose aims and goals do not go on smoothly as planned. There is the existence of various obstacles along the chain of events that hamper the processes aligned towards the achievement of the protagonist’s goals. The achievement of the goals is eventually realized after a long struggle. The main aim of the story is to illustrate that human beings can make decisions. In the whole story, this theme is reflected in the destructors by the decisions and the actions of the characters. This is a clear projection of an entertaining piece of work that leaves the reader with the desire to discover what the Wormley gang is going to execute next in their plan. Set in post-WW II in England, Greene has effectively used a group of young boys who collectively refer to themselves as the common Wormley gang to entertain his readers. In addition to the above, the use of figurative language defines it as more of a commercial than literary fiction. This involves the use of several metaphors and paradoxes in the story. The use of paradox is presented by the gang’s leader – T – who intones that “Even the grown-up gangs who ran the betting at the all-in wrestling and the barrow-boys would hear with respect of how Old Misery’s house had been destroyed” (Greene, 37). The exact meaning of T’s words in this extract is a paradox as no right-thinking member of any society can gain respect from the other by acts of vandalism and destruction. T also admits that he doesn’t hate Mr. This demonstrates two important facts about the pre-teen boys who are members of the Wormley Common Gang. First, they are still innocent yet they are still unable to keep their selfish decisions and second, their motives are driven not by hate but by other reasons. This forms one of the major themes in Greene’s work. In the belief of the young boys, destruction is another form of creation. The “abductors” fall under the subgenre of adventure. Figurative language that defines a commercially entertaining piece of literature has been widely used in this piece of Green’s work. “Streaks of light came in through the closed shutters where they worked
It is very common for computer operating systems, windows, to corrupt especially when the computer is attacked by a virus. This will render to be unusable. There are many ways of putting the computer back to use. This includes; window repair, upgrade, or clean windows installation. The best option though is clean windows installation. So, how do you perform clean Windows XP installation? Start by checking if your computer meets the minimum requirements for Windows XP installation. Many computers have a sticker indicating the machine’s specification but if you are not sure you can consult a technician. Most computers are supplied with a full version bootable CD containing the operating system and in some cases drivers for the computer hardware. Start by a switch on the computer and insert the full version bootable windows up CD. Watch the computer screen for the message that the bootable CD has been auto-detected followed by the “press any key boot CD” message. Press any key on the keyboard as soon as this message appears. Files will start to load from the bootable CD to begin the installation. In due course, a message asking you if you want to install Windows XP will appear. Press the enter key in the response. Next is the End User License Agreement which must be accepted to continue the installation. Press F8 to accept, you can read the agreement if you want but it is not necessary. The next screen displays the available partitions where windows XP can be installed. If your computer has more than one partition, select the one you want and press the Enter key. This will move on to the screen where you should select a file system, either FAT32 or NTFS. The preferred choice is NTFS. It allows stability and security features that are not possible with FAT32. Make your choice of formatting options and press the F key to start the process. Once the format process completes the installation will continue. The windows XP installation will continue without interference since you are installing from a full version windows XP CD. This is as opposed to when you are using an upgrade edition CD where the installation will prompt you to put a verification code from Microsoft. Setup will continue and eventually, the computer will restart. Watch the onscreen message but do not press a key when the “Press any key to boot CD” message appears. This will start the installation again. The windows Installation will continue, asking you from time to time to supply additional setup information. Respond by putting the correct information. The installation will restart the computer and this time it will take you back into the Windows XP Activation screen. You can either activate your copy of XP now or delay the activation for u
Introduction Economic reality plays a central role in the practice of accounting and the standard-setting process. However, the problem with economic reality is that it exists in different forms, some of which are ambiguous. Therefore, with the lack of a standard framework on how to construct this reality, accounts get a free pass to present reality as they deem necessary or “as is”. The images that accounting theorists and researchers bring to their subject of investigation shape the way they understand the world around them, hence their reality. The set of constructs that accountants use to shape reality in their practice generates numerous insights, hence diverse implications. Accountants could even use assumptions to create a certain reality in the process of making sense of complex situations. Constructing reality for accountants is easy because accounting does not have any philosophical presupposition, and as such, the difference between distorted accounts and desirable objective ones is primarily assigned to the practice. Lack of Philosophy in Accounting The link between philosophy and accounting is, in most cases, seen as an ambiguous concept. Other fields of study are anchored on some philosophical framework, which is used to question the basic and fundamental concepts associated with such professions and the need to have a meaningful understanding of the same. However, even though accounting is underlined by an overarching theory, scholars in the field rarely illustrate or even define it. As such, the lack of philosophical presupposition allows accountants to construct reality as they wish, which has probably led to the many financial scandals that have been witnessed in this century. There lacks of a framework to assess the accuracy and faithfulness of the information provided in accounting and financial reports. Accountants have the liberty to identify what is relevant concerni
The issues of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar of 1946 – 1948 and 1952 – 1954 are very interesting to study. They have very distinct style and noticeable design. First of all, many of the fashion shots of that time are black and white. The fashion artists and photographers of the 1946 -1948 and 1952 – 1954 that worked with colorful images had a tendency to employ contrasts in their works. The backgrounds of the beauty shots and fashion spreads of those times can be characterized by the use of plain backgrounds with minimum details. The main colors of 1946 are grey and black, the main shade used during 1947 is beige or mustard, in 1948 they used a lot of grey again. As for 1952, it is has significant impacts of ivory, cream and light blue, in 1953 the brighter shades started to be fashionable, the magazines are filled with tints of red and pink, in 1954 darker blue and red were the prevalent colors. The outfits the models in the photographs are wearing have multiple accessories that stand out yet keep the color composition together making it very light and homogenous. The most interesting and significant element employed by fashion artists, designers and photographers of 1946 – 1948 and 1952 – 1954 is that the photographs with generally light and homogenous compositions of pastel colors always have bright parts and areas that stand out the most. For example there can be a model posing in a gloomy morning, the landscape or room around the model contains beige and grey colors, but the outfit the model is wearing is bright red. Another variation of application of contrasts is including bright colors into the mainly light or plain outfit of models, for example inserting bright accents on the lips, shoes, scarves of the models (Vogue Magazine Archive, par. 1). Advertisements on these issues of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar contain a lot of yellow and red colors they also use the colorful accents making some parts of the images stand out more than others. The difference between fashion shots and advertisements in that the former ones prefer gloomy and more solemn colors, while the latter use brighter and more cheerful shades. One of the main Zeitgeist influences for both 1946 – 1948 and 1952 – 1954 is the fact that this is a post Second World War era. 1946 – 1948 are the years right after the end of the war nightmare, people tired of clothes regulations and limitations turned to fashion. This became the main Zeitgeist influence. Fashion industry benefited a lot after the end of war. Some of the most famous beauty and fashion icons of this period of time were Ingrid Bergman, Rita Hayworth, and Hedy Lamarr. Their influences made soft, yet distinct hair waves and strict but elegant and noticeable outfits with distinct silhouettes popular. 1952 – 1954 were the years of the rising consumerism. Stylish clothes stopped being a luxury, everyone tried to be in trend. The icons of this period of time were Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, whose styles are still copied by many women today (Style Icons From Every Decade (20’s-60’s), par. 17). Due to their influences richer and more interesting fabrics started to be popular, besides, these women
Descriptions of Small- and Large-Scale Projects Small-Scale Project: Organization Website Development The small project involved creating a website for a research organization, and it captured all information about its core departments. The departments included human resources, research, development, quality control, supplies, and procurement. The website had email functionalities that facilitated internal and external communication of organization affairs; it was developed using Java programming language. The website was developed at the cost of $1500, and it was completed by a team of three professionals for a total of 14 days. Large-Scale Project: Construction of Footbridge The large project involved constructing a footbridge on a highway and was expected to cost $1,000,000 within a period of four months. It was facilitated by a large team comprising project managers, structural engineers, quality control professionals, and geologists. Knowledge Areas of Small- and Large-Scale Projects The ten knowledge areas according to the Project Management Body of Knowledge include: Project Integration Management: Integration management reflects activities that hold the project as a single entity. It entails creating a tool called the project charter, which initiates the whole exercise. The charter is used to improve the venture’s success, and it has categories including inputs, tools and techniques, and the outputs as displayed in Table 1 below. Inputs: Documentation, project plan, agreements, organization process assets Tools and techniques: Expert judgment, data gathering, team skills, meetings, and minutes Outputs: Charter and the assumptions log Table 1: Project Charter Project Scope Management This area outlines the project’s work because scopes continuously change. Therefore, it is important to clearly define boundaries and expectations at the beginning of every project cycle. The scope management plan is a document within the project plan management. The scope statement defines the project’s boundary and needs to reduce risks that might arise. It also has the work breakdown structure (WBS), a tool created to monitor the project deliverables to their logical conclusion. Both the small and the large projects have a Work Breakdown Structure. The website project has
Causes for Moving West and Contributions of Early Industrialization to Westward Extension The westward migration was a significant movement of settlers, agriculturalists, and industry towards the western part of America in the nineteenth century. The Americans believed that it was their God-given duty to conquer the western territories, and therefore, their borders should run from one ocean to another. This belief is what is considered Manifest Destiny; however, besides the conviction, specific reasons contributed to the need for the possession of the west. Some of the reasons Westward migration became necessary are Opportunities for adventure, the opening of the civil war, free land given by the government, and the crowded and expensive east cities. Early industrial growth contributed positively to the westward expansion by extending transport services such as the railway system. Thus, the expansion significantly boosted the connectivity between the western world and other parts of America. Gold mining in the region gave birth to the need for more laborers, who opted to settle in the region. The westward region expanded because populations could access the region in search of employment and the free land that the government was awarding. Subsequently, agricultural growth in the west boosted the expansion because many people opted for employment as cowboys. Additionally, slavery contributed to the area’s growth since Americans brought more slaves into the areas. How Indian Removal Affected Native Nations Many white Americans and settlers in the east termed the Indians as enemies of progress because they were not maximizing their lands fully to cultivate cotton. They were stereotypic and considered the Indians as pastoralists who did not know how to take full advantage of land use. Therefore, they required that the federal government demands land from the Indians and reallocate it to others who would use it well. The Indian removal involved a presidential land granting to the Indian natives in exchange for the land they owned within the states. Some of the tribes that accepted to be evicted from their lands are the Choctaw, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creeks, and Seminoles peacefully, while others disagreed with moving and made an appeal to the court (Ostler, 2019). Failure of some of the tribes to accept the removal prompted wrangles within the communities, leading to the killing of some of the natives to grab the land forcibly. The Americans murdered the natives, who denied them the power to possess the Indian lands. The war also gave rise to the displacement of the Sauks to Kansas. A civil war built up between the natives who wanted to retain their land and the Americans who wanted to take over the land, forcing the death of three thousand to four thousand deaths of natives, known as the Trail of Tears. Eventually, over sixty thousand Indians were forced to the west. The Indian removal negatively affected the association between the natives and the administration. The
Instrumental music is not an easy matter to write about, especially when we are to try to trace the development of this kind of music through the history of mankind. Such a kind of art as instrumental music is rather unique because it combines in itself the ability to describe the objective reality by means of sounds, but at the same time, demands great skills from the person who wants to master this art. The development of instrumental music is a very interesting process because it goes through all the stages of human social development and presents a considerable volume of information concerning not only music but also the history and philosophy of human life. But, nevertheless, it is the task we are going to deal with in this essay. We are going to study the working path of the famous Venetian composer and one of the prominent violinists of his time, Antonio Vivaldi, and the influence that historical events of that time had on his life and music. We will deal with this topic in the context of the social and political development of 18 th century Venice. So, firstly, let us take a brief look at the epoch Vivaldi lived and worked in. The 18 th century is known in the history of this Italian city as the period of considerable decline in almost all respects. The political influence of Venice decreased greatly as such countries as Austria and France were taking the leading positions in Continental Europe. Venice, which was one of the leading powers on sea lost the major part of its possessions and, soon, its independence. After the Great French Revolution at the end of the 18 th century, France headed by Napoleon started waging wars in Europe, and Venice was the object of the war between France and Austria. At first France, then Austria ruled the free city up to the establishment of the united Italian kingdom in the 19 th century (History World, 2008). All these events seemingly should have suppressed the national identity of the Venetians and their culture as well, but in fact, they did not. Even vice versa, during the epoch of the political decline and decrease of the international positions of Venice, the culture of this Italian city experienced an incredible rise. This process was accompanied by the appearance of the famous Venice Carnival and the strong impact on the development of instrumental music. This was the time when the genius of instrumental music, Antonio Vivaldi, lived and created his eternal masterpieces of art (Barbier, 2003). Antonio Vivaldi was born in 1678 in the fam
