My memories about Composition of Bank Liabilities

There are many different types of liabilities. Transaction accounts usually pay relatively low explicit interest rates but have higher non-interest processing costs. Other accounts offer limited check writing capabilities but pay higher rates. Liabilities with long-term fixed maturities typically pay the highest interest rates but have the lowest non-interest transaction costs. Customers who hold each instrument respond differently-to interest rate changes. Thus, the composition and maturity/duration of each bank's liabilities are important deter­minants of the interest cost and liquidity and interest rate risk associated with performance.

Government regulators determined allowable interest rates, and virtually all banks paid the maximum. Banks could compete for funds only by differentiating the quality of service and paying implicit interest through lowering service charges or offering premi­ums to open accounts. The primary strategy for most retail banks is centered on having a well-located home office and branches.

About Planting

When the spring planting season comes upon us, there is something to be said for planting flowers that require little care. However, any garden worth having is never going to be effort free. We need to be able to give our flowers proper care in order to cultivate a beautiful garden. What is more effective than looking for flowers that require little care is looking for flowers to plant based on your geographical climate. As spring rolls around into summer are you more likely to have ample rain or do you live in an environment that offers mostly droughts to the young flowers you have planted?

Opting for weather tempered flowers means that they will be easier to care for. If you plant flowers that are going to well with minimal water, you won’t find that you have to deal with watering issues throughout the warmer months. If you opt for flowers that do very well during the wetter season, and you receive much rain, you won’t have to worry about your flowers drowning. This is a simple way to help minimize your flower bed care. You will still need to mulch, weed, and pay attention to the small details of caring for a flower garden but you won’t have to worry about the weather ruining your flower garden without the chance to save it. Planting flowers in a garden can rather costly and the last thing you want is uncooperative weather destroying your flowers and your efforts.
