LIBOR: Libor stands for London

Inter-Bank Offered Rate This is a

favourable interest rate offered for

U.S dollar or Eurodollar deposits

between groups of London banks

It is an internationl interest rate

that follows world economic

conditions and is defined by the

maturity of its deposit term (i.e

30-day LIBOR, 60-day LIBOR)

This market allows banks with

liquidity requirements to borrow

quickly from other banks with

surpluses The LIBOR is officially

fixed once a day by a group of

large London banks, but the rate

changes throughout the day The

difficulty with some LIBOR based

loans is that the terms can be

based upon set dollar amounts to

draw-down or repay at specific

dates

Lien: An encumbrance against

property form money due, either

voluntary or involuntary

Life Cap: The upper and lower limit

for changes in the borrower’s

interest rate over the term of his/

her loan

Lifeline Account: A bank account

meant for customers with low

of time

Liquidated Damages: A clause,which is commonly found incontracts, wherein the partiesagree to pay a fixed amount, incase of any breach of thecontractual provisions The party,who violates the provisions has

(to be continued ) ( continues from August 2016 Issue)

TERMINOLOGY

SOCIAL SCIENCES TERMS

Cultural superstructure: In

socio-cultural materialism, the shared

symbolic universe within a

so-ciocultural system, including such

components as the art, music,

dance, rituals, sports, hobbies,

and accumulated knowledge base

of the system.

Cultural transmission: The

social-ization process whereby the

norms and values of the group

are internalized by individuals.

Cultural universal: A value or

prac-tice shared by all human cultures.

Culture: The values, norms, and

material goods shared by a given

group Some sociologists prefer

to restrict the term to symbolic

aspects of a culture (values and

norms).

Culture of poverty: A social theory

proposing that the poor have a

different value system that

con-tributes to their poverty As poor

children are socialized into this

value system, the inability to

es-cape poverty is perpetuated.

Culture shock: Disorientation

different culture or rapid social

change in one's own culture.

Cumulative change: A distinctive

kind of change associated with

systems composed of multiple,

interrelated parts Within these

systems, some parts change

while others remain unchanged (to be continued )

( continues from August 2016 Issue)

Thus, cumulative change is a process that combines elements

of continuity with elements of change; many parts of the sys- tem are preserved for extended periods while new parts are added and other parts are either replaced

or transformed Evolutionary change tends to be cumulative

in nature.

Custodial care: Health care in which the focus is on the needs of the institution (convenience and effi- ciency, for example) rather than

De facto segregation: The tion of social groups in fact, al- though not by law Housing pat- terns in North America often re- flect de facto segregation.

separa-The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes is the final set of twelve Sherlock Holmes short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in the Strand Magazine between October 1921 and April 1927.

In these stories, with his changing of narration styles, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle also threw caution to the wind with the crimes Instead of always being about money, we have far more complex motives than ever before.

As for the innovations, we finally get to read a story wherein the client is the guilty party We have oddly been longing for this day Of course Holmes always suspected his client, so therefore it’s not as interesting as

if Holmes had been found fallible, but still, liking the change The cases overall had a dash more romance Jealousy, love, these are the cornerstones

to these new set of tales As well as real tails! Dogs play significant parts

in two of the adventures! While these are a refreshing change, one of the two more sensational tales caught our imagination the most These are really interesting in that they almost verge on pulp fiction, with death by sea creature, and notably, the heavily Poe influenced, with just a dash of H.G Wells, “The Adventure of the Creeping Man.” It’s this second tale that we found most fascinating, while also very out of place Seriously, this guy is injecting himself with a drug extracted from monkeys just to become young again for the woman he loves? Sadly it has some amusing though unintended side effects This is so odd a tale that it instantly is the most memorable one.

And with this love and jealousy there’s a consequence that we don’t know

if it’s intentional or not In “The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire” and

“The Problem of Thor Bridge” both stories concern men who married SouthAmerican brides whom they fell out of love with and the wives went a littlebit crazy Each of the stories even captures little personality traits fromBertha In “The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire” the supposed vampirismand the biting can obviously be seen in Bertha’s attack on her brotherwhen he comes to visit Thornfield Hall Then in “The Problem of ThorBridge” the psychotic jealousy and eventual suicide just scream crazywife in the attic!

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle basically gave up on Holmes after four volumes,and really had to be coaxed back into continuing the series infrequentlythroughout the first 27 years of the 20th century This collection gathersthe last short stories—although chronologically, they’re all set before WWI.Overall the book is a captivating one
