This article examines local publications regarding horticulture, botany and garden design from the first 50 years of Queensland history. The primary aim was to critically review the documentary data with a focus on understanding designed landscapes. A secondary objective was to reveal the major historical figures responsible for writing about design and horticulture in general between 1859 and 1915. This article represents a summary of these sources and their authors, rather than a detailed discussion about the contents of these writings. Apart from newspapers, which devoted columns to horticultural and on occasion aesthetic matters, there were various other types of relevant publications on designed landscapes in early Queensland, including books, almanacs, nursery catalogues, gardening guides, essays, annual reports, journals and bulletins. The following review is arranged chronologically by publication date, and divided across two major eras: 1850s–1870s and 1880s–1910s. The biographical information provided with each author emphasises their design experiences and influence as part of the evaluation of the significance of these sources for the research.

This assignment deal with the “A Study on the Evaluation of Working Capital Management with reference to SHILLONG URBAN COOPERATIVE BANK.'

The study of working capital management is important because, unless the working capital is managed effectively, effectively monitored, properly planned and periodically reviewed at regular intervals to remove bottlenecks, if any, the company can not gain. profits and increase its turnover. Working Capital research is based on instruments like Trend Analysis, Ratio Analysis, Operating Cycle, etc. Further the research is based on the Annual Reports of the last 5 years. And even factors such as the assessment of rivals, the assessment of the sector was not regarded during the preparation of this project. The secondary technique of information collection is used for this research. The purpose of the information compilation was to study the company's management of working capital. Working capital in the form of current assets is needed to cope with the issue resulting from the absence of instant realization of money against sold products. Therefore, adequate working capital is needed to maintain sales activity.Efficient management of working capital involves firms to work with a certain quantity of net working capital, the precise quantity varying from company to company and depending, among other things; on the nature of the firms. This research has some constraints such as restricted information, restricted period, restricted region, and the length of the research is very small.
