Problem: Article: Know whether the bond sold at par, at a premium, or at a discount. Determine the time elapsed since the bond's issuance. To calculate the carrying value of a bond, you will need to know how much of the premium or discount has been amortized, which will depend on the time elapsed since the issue date. Most premiums or discounts will be amortized on a straight-line basis, meaning the same amount is amortized each reporting period. For example, suppose a 10-year bond was issued two years ago. Two years of amortization have been recorded, and eight years of amortization remain. You need to know the remaining amount of unamortized discount or premium to calculate the carrying value. For example, suppose a company issued a 10 year bond with an $80 premium two years ago. Each year, $8 of amortization is recorded ($80 / 10 years = $8 per year). If two years have passed, then $16 of amortization has been recorded ($8 x 2 years = $16) and $64 is unamortized ($8 x 8 years = $64). Suppose a company sold $1,000 10%, 10 year bonds for $1,080 and 2 years have passed since the issue date. Calculate the premium by subtracting the face value from the sale price with the equation $1,000 - $1,080 = $80. The $80 premium will be amortized over the term of the bond at $8 per period. Since two years have passed, two amortization entries have been recorded. Eight amortization entries remain. Calculate the remaining amortization with the equation $8 x 8 = $64. The carrying value equals the face value of the bond plus the remaining premium to be amortized. Use the equation $1,000 + $64 = $1,064. Subtract the unamortized discount from the face value. For example, suppose a company sold a $1,000, 10%, 10 year bond for $920, or an $80 discount and two years have passed since the bond issuance. The annual amortization of the discount is $8. Two amortization entries have been recorded. Eight remain, for a value of $8 x 8 = $64. The carrying value of the bond is $1,000 - $64 = $936.
Summary: Determine the terms of the bond in question. Calculate the amortized portion of the discount or premium. Calculate the carrying value of a bond sold at premium. Calculate the carrying value of a bond sold at a discount using the same method.

Problem: Article: Modern slings are much more comfortable, ergonomic, and protective than what most individuals can craft. However, arm injuries can happen and you may have to improvise. If you are injured in the wilderness while on a camping trip, if may be impossible to obtain cloth to make the sling above. It is certainly better than no sling at all. Use a sweater, sweatshirt, button-up shirt, or other long-sleeved garment. Tie the garment's sleeves behind your head and carefully insert your injured arm through the loop formed. Allow the clothing material to support the weight of your arm somewhere along the forearm or wrist - wherever is comfortable. Try to adjust the length of the garment's sleeves that your knot allows to hang so that your arm can hang at a roughly 90 degree angle (horizontal to the ground). If you have safety pins handy, you may want to try "closing" the fabric of the long-sleeved garment around your elbow as a makeshift backstop for your sling as described in the method above. One piece of clothing seemingly tailor-made for improvised slings is the belt, due it having the built-in ability to form a loop with an adjustable size. Secure the belt buckle behind your neck and slip your arm through the loop formed by the rest of the belt. Allow your arm's weight to be supported by the belt along the forearm or wrist. Tie or fasten the belt behind your neck so that your arm is supported at a 90 degree angle. The belt's buckle can be uncomfortable against the back of the neck, so may want to shift the belt so that the buckle is in the length of belt stretching between your arm and neck. You can also put padding between the belt and your neck for greater comfort. If you're injured in an office setting or while wearing formal wear, a necktie can suffice as a makeshift sling until a real one is available. As with the methods above, simply tie the necktie behind in a simple knot your neck and pass your arm through the loop formed. Adjust the positioning and length of your makeshift sling so that your arm hangs at a 90 degree angle. Duct tape can be used very effectively to help immobilize the arm. It has strength, flexibility, and a fabric-like quality which lends itself quite well to this situation. A loop of duct tape can substitute for a belt or tie, supporting the wrist, arm, and elbow. Duct taping the injured arm to the torso can help reduce movement. Be sure to avoid getting duct tape residue on the skin. Duct tape should be faced so that it does not adhere to the skin. The types of situations in which you'll need to make a sling from your clothing are usually situations in which actual medical care is for some reason unattainable. If your injury is at all serious or persistent, seek the help and advice of a trained medical professional as soon as you can. Improvised slings are usually better than no sling at all, but they are no substitute for a real sling (to say nothing of the other treatments for an injured arm that a hospital can provide). It's better to be safe than sorry - don't risk worsening your arm injury by neglecting to show it to a doctor.
Summary: Improvised slings are not as good as professionally-designed slings. Use a long-sleeved garment as a sling. Use a belt as a sling. Use a tie as a sling. Duct tape. Seek medical attention (and/or a real sling) immediately.

Problem: Article: Add one part acid, one part oil, one part aromatics and salt and/or sugar to taste. The following are excellent ingredients to use in marinades: The best acids for meat are vinegar, lemon juice lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. If you use soy sauce, don't add extra salt, since it is a main ingredient in the sauce. The best oils are neutral oils, like canola oil and olive oil. Granulated sugar or honey adds sweetness and also encourages a brown color and caramel taste. Use aromatics like crushed garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, ginger, bay leaf or steak seasoning. Paprika, chili pepper and jalapenos or other fresh peppers are perfect for a spicy, smoky flavor. Grab a spoon and taste a small amount. The marinade should taste good before it goes on the beef, since the majority of the marinade will stay in the first few cm of the surface. The enzymes penetrate the meat and help tenderize it if used for two hours or less. Turn the beef to coat it entirely. The longer the beef is marinated, the more intense the flavor will be.
Summary:
Mix your marinade. Whisk the marinade together. Consider replacing lime, lemon or vinegar with fresh pineapple or kiwi juice if your meat is very tough. Pour the marinade into the plastic bag or bowl. Place it in the refrigerator for no less than two hours and no more than 24 hours.
