A resurgent Kmart, home of the blue light special, is buying the once-dominant Sears department store chain in a surprising $11 billion gamble it is counting on to help both better compete with Wal-Mart and other big-box retailers. Led by Kmart Holding Corp. chairman Edward Lampert, the new Sears Holdings Corp. would be the nation’s third largest retailer. Both chains would survive, but several hundred stand-alone Kmarts throughout the country are expected to be transformed into Sears stores. The

being classified as temporary. Many accountants have complained about how ambiguous the guidelines for this classification can be. The classification of an impairment of a security as temporary is highly advantageous for a company as it is recorded in OCI and can be recovered. This means that the loss is excluded from operations and does not affect some of the financial statements. However, if the loss is determined to be “other than temporary”, the loss goes against operations, the value of the security

Honore De Balzac - Eugenie Grandet Kratki sadržaj - U Somiru, jednom od sela Francuske živjela je obitelj Grandet: Čiča Grandet, njegova kći Eugenie, gospođa Grandet i služavka Nanona. U ovoj mračnoj i sjetnoj kućici svaki dan je sličio prethodnom, svaki trenutak bio je već preživljen. Grandet čije bogatstvo nitko nije znao točno odrediti smišljao je lukavstva i smicalice kako bi nadmudrio svakoga i skupio što više zlata u kojem bi, kao svaki tvrdica mogao uživati, gledati ga i dodirivati kao

Oĉi su im bile gladne; usta su im se otvarala i zatvarala kao da će je celu progutati, a glasovi su im se utišavali i oticali poput talasa koji udaraju o stenu.

Nastavi da se krećeš, nastavi da se krećeš, zapovedao je mozak njenim drhtavim nogama dok su je ĉvrste ruke gurale kroz gomilu ka stepenicama sudnice. Oĉi su joj zasuzile od jakog svetla, pa je potraţila

Alan Gratz has a very different style than most authors. One thing that I love about Alan Gratz is that he mixed the history of Japan and Baseball into an action packed book. There are books that usually compare history and another subject, but Alan Gratz has used the two books to create a struggle. That is another element that I like most books. Another different quality is that he has added a sense of confusion to Toyo. In most books, you see a slight view of confusion but in this book Toyo is
