    IIWhat type of features do I

    need?

     want?

     

    Document types can range from simple letters and memos to proposals

    reports, legal documents, books, newsletters, scientific packages. Forexample, if you write articles that require references, you will need the

    footnoting features; if you develop a newsletters, having the multicolumn

    layout features would be handy; if scientific nation is needed, you will

     want super scripts (X2+Y2) and subscripts (A21); and if you send

    “personalized” form letters the mail merge feature is a necessity.

     A number of add-on program are available to enhance the functionality of

     word processing packages. These include:

    On-line thesaurus

    HUMAN RIGHTS

    Historical images of Apartheid in South Africa

     Apartheid consisted of numerous laws that allowed the ruling white

    minority in South Africa to segregate exploit and terrorize the vast

    majority: Africans, mostly, but also Asians and colored people of mixed

    race. In white –ruled South Africa, black people was exploited, their lives

    segregated.

    Under Apartheid, racist beliefs were enshrined in low and any criticism of

    the law was suppressed. Apartheid was racism made law. It was a

    system dictated in the minutest detail as to how and where the large

     black majority would live, work and die. This system of institutionalize

    racial discrimination defled the principles of the United Nations charter

    and the universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    In 1976 the united Nation unanimously condemned the elevation of oneof the “homelands”, Transkei; into an independent state because it

    remained dependent on South Africa .Not one country in the world

    recognized the new state. In 1982, almost one million black South

     Africans were transferred to another country -- Swaziland—without their

    having ant say in the matter.

    Ultimately, blacks demonstrated, held strikes and rioted over such

    discriminatory practices. As a result, diplomatic pressure mountedabroad for exchange. In 1990 Nelson Mandela who had devoted his life to

    democracy, equality and leaning for all South Africans was released from

    prison after serving almost 30 years for those beliefs.

    Question twenty five

    Using Microsoft word, type the statements below and answer the

    questions that follow.

    IRR analysis is generally used to evaluate the project’s cash flows, rather

    than the income from the project that would be shown on an income

    statement (also known as the profit and loss statement). Why? Because

    on a P&L reflects depreciation, but depreciation is not an out –of-pocket

    expenses. For instance, if revenue of $10,000 is reduced to $7,000 of

    income because of a $3,000 depreciation deduction, you still have theuse the full $10,000. So the cash flow figure of $10,000 is usually the

    more instructive one to look at. However, if you are very concerned about

    the appearance of your income statement (for example if you anticipate

    putting the business up for sale or seeking the major financing in the

    future, or if you’re under stockholder pressure for increased income) you

    may decide that the income figure is more appropriate to use.

    How do you compute the IRR? .The easiest way is to use a good financial

    calculator. if you don’t have one , or don’t want to take the time to learn

    to use one, you can also use the present value table located inBusiness.

    Don’t fall for expensive products. Service contracts that are pitched to

     you when you buy a piece of business equipment are often good deal for

    the supplier – but not for you. In most cases, the amount you‘d spend on

    a service contract is wasted money. This is especially true in case of

    generic equipment that normally caries a warranty anyway – if some

    thing is going to go wrong, it will generally do so in the first 30 days to 60

    days, when your warranty should cover your problem.

     There may be situations where service contracts are good deal. For

    example if the equipment was custom-built and is expected to needregular maintenance in future, if the space parts and knowledge lobour

     will be hard to find, or if getting repair done immediately is extremely

    important to your business’ operation, you might decide to purchase a

    service contract on trial basis.

    Compare the NPV of loan payments. If you have decided to purchase a

    major asset and are planning to take out a loan, a good way to compare

    option available is to do a net present value analysis of your cash flowsunder the various interest rates and terms your local lender have

    available. Your cash flow project should consider the loan payment

    outflows as well as revenue inflows that would result from your purchase

    or project.

    Is network marketing just a scam

     There’s huge difference between network marketing and pyramid

    schemes. Learn the truth here.

    Q: Some friends try to recruit me into network marketing deals that seem

    like some type of money game or pyramid. Other friends tell me they’re

    illegal and I’ll get into trouble. How do I know what’s legal and legitimate?

     A: To help you understand what network marketing is, I must first

    explain what it isn’t.

    First, network marketing isn’t a pyramid scheme. Pyramids are programs

    similar to chain letters where people just invest money based on

    promises that other people will put in money that will filtrate back tothem and somehow, they’ll get rich. A pyramid is strictly a money game

    and has no basis in real commerce. Normally, there is no product

    involved at all, just money changing hands. Modern-day pyramids may

    have a product, but it’s Cleary there just to disguise the money game.

     The bread and side dishes

    Harry was a married man who succumbed to the temptation of a

    girlfriend. But this new catch did not like his beards. From the first day,

    she started coaxing him into shaving them off. “But my wife loves this

     beard; I could not possibly do it. She would kill me,” Harry replied.

     That set the girlfriend to have the beard cut if only to check her prowess

    against hers. A month later, she told Harry the relationship had to end

     because he had refused to shave off his beard. Harry was madly in love

    and decided to have the beard removed.

     That night, fearing his wife would raise hell over the beards she loved so

    much, Harry came late and sneaked into bed while the wife was sleeping.

     When the wife woke up and left him, she startled out of her sleep.

    “Mike!” She exclaimed. “You still here? How did you forget? You must go

    home before my husband comes. He must be on his way. He will be here

    soon.”

    MY SHOES Thank God for my shoes-they fit.

    I woke up one day and realize that there were many things about my life I

     was not satisfied with or better still, there were challenges that were

    threatening my soul and I said to myself, “Why should anyone envy me

    and want to in my shoes”. They said did not know how far I have come,

    they do not know what lies ahead of me, and neither do they know what

    dissatisfaction I get with myself from time to time.

    People do not know the trouble that you have had or the price you had topay to get where you are. All they to know is that they wish they were like

     you. Why should you wish you were in any body’s shoes when you hardly

    know how they fit? When you have worn your shoes for a while, they take

    the shape of your feet and align to the way you walk. If you were to wear

    my shoes, you would not be comfortable in them. So I stop to wishing

    that I am in some ones else shoes because they might not fit: rather I

    thank God for my shoes, because they fit! I have learnt to be the best in

     what I do and I know no one can replace me anywhere and in my sphere.

    I am original, my God is not in the cloning business. He makes originals!

    Make the best of you do; besides you have this beautiful life to live ONLY

    ONCE. Live it to the fullest.

     Thinking that Man. United is the only EPL top-four team in trouble is a

    reflection question. United whenever they started underdogs they

    performed well. Reflect on the 2011/2012 season.

     When they clear off their seemingly games for the 2013/14 season, it isgood for May 2014. Ferguson one time said that the premiership is won

    in may. United are the defending champions.

    United never had fleets of high profile players.

    David Moyes has support of almost everybody at Old Trafford Fergusson

     was not chased the Mourinho was by Chelsea.

    Crossing to Merseyside was never a joke.

    David has a point to prove

    Players will continue to be paid on results. When one says that United is in trouble because of playing Chelsea.

    Liverpool and Man-city in the opening games, and you do not appreciate

    the fact that also Chelsea, Liverpool and Man-city are in trouble because

    of going to play united, and then we do not deserve to be in the logical

    sports world.

     The term “tree” is used in computer science to denote a particular

    type of abstract data structure. Trees contain data in structures called

    nodes, which are in turn linked to other nodes in the tree. Every tree has

    a primary node called a root, from which all other branch nodes in the

    tree descends. In continuance with the botanical naming system, the

    nodes that have no descendants are called leaf nodes.

    Root node

     

    Leaf node

     Why should you use trees?

    Primarily, trees are useful for organizing data in a manner that

    makes it efficient to retrieve it. To illustrate this, is a picture of acollection of data organized in a linked list structure.

     A binary tree is made up of nodes that can have at most two offspring

    (children). The root node is the node that is not a child of any other node,

    and is found at the top of the tree structure. A node with no children is

    referred to as a leaf node. Nodes that are not root nodes or leaf nodes are

    often referred to as non-leaf nodes.

    HUMAN BEINGS

    Most infants are guided through life by a parent or guardian and taugh

    how to talk, walk, eat and generally behave. The socialization process

     beigins as soon as we are born when we being to imitate people around

    us, copying the shapes and noises in our environment. Many other

    people and circumstances affect our appearance, attitude and behavior,

    such as work, lifestyle, ethnicity, family, environment, peer group(friends), gender, media etc.

    Human beings are very different throughout the world and opinions of

     what constitures a natural or nurtured human being differ enormously.

     Without socialization, an individual would bear little resemblance to any

    human being defined as “normal” by the standards of his or her society.

     There have been some instances where a person has been deprived of the

    assistance of a parent or any other social and human presenc. Thsee beings are oftern referred to as feral peopol meaning “wild”.

     An example of feral people was the Wolf-infants of Midnapore who were

    reportedly found in a wolf den in a Bengal forest in 1920. The infants,

    age two and eight, walked on all fours, preferred a diet of raw meat,

    howled like wolves and lacked any form of speech.

    STAYING VIRUS-FREE

    omputer viruses are some of the biggest nightmares that

    computer users all over the world face. A computer virus can

    corrupt or delete important files, slow down the computer,

    produce annoying pop-ups and even steal confidential information like

    passwords and credit card numbers.

    C As you have always heard time and again, you need an antivirus program

    on your PC. However, most people use the free or trail programmes which

    do not catch some new viruses or they expire soon and leave the PC

    Spreadsheet software is used to organize data in rows and columns and

    performing calculations. The intersection between a row and a column is

    called a cell. The figures are inserted into cells.

    FEATURES OF SPREADSHEET PROGRAMS

    Some of the popular features of spreadsheet programs include:

    Recalculation. This helps the user to work out the rest of the worksheet

     whenever work changes(available tool for what-if-analysis)

    Built in functions. Allow the user to use functions to add, multiply,

    make percentage, count and basic statistical functions.

     Adjusting columns. Allows the user the ability to sort data accordingly

    Data formatting. Helps the user to change both text and numeric data.

     The fonts, sizes and styles can also be changed and the worksheet can

    also be made attractive by using borders and shading.

    Data validation. This is meant to ensure that correct data is entered in

    the spreadsheet.

    Printing. This allows the user to print the entire worksheets, proportions

    of worksheets or several worksheets. E.t.c
