In finance and economics, a bond or debenture is a debt instrument that obligates the issuer to pay to the bondholder the principal plus interest. Thus, a bond is essentially an I.O.U. issued by a private or governmental corporation -- that corporation "borrows" the face amount of the bond from its buyer, pays interest on that debt while it is outstanding, and then "redeems" the bond by paying back the debt.
- For alternate meanings, such as chemical bond, see bond (disambiguation)
Bonds are securities but differ from shares of stock in that stock is an ownership interest (termed "equity"), but bonds are merely "debt": Therefore a stockholder is an owner, but a bond-holder is merely a creditor.
Some theories of economics, notably Islamic economics and green economics, argue that the overall impact of any debt on ecosystems and society is so negative that no bond should have any legal status. These theories are part of a broader category called creditary economics. In these, there is no creditor, only a joint venture partner or investor.
"Convertible bonds" or "convertible debentures" are those that can be converted into some other kind of securities, usually common stock in the corporation that issued the bonds.
"Subordinated bonds" are those that have a lower priority than other debts of the issuing corporation, so if there is not enough money to pay all the company's debts, the "senior" (= higher-priority) ones get paid first, and the subordinate ones get paid out of what, if anything, is left.
Bonds are issued by the government or other public authorities, credit institutions, and companies, and are sold through banks and stock brokers. They enable the issuer to finance long-term investments with external funds. The total volume of a bond issue is the sum of the individual bonds.
The most important features of a bond are its initial value, known as the "par value," its maturity date, the "coupon" or "nominal yield," effectively the interest rate, and whether the interest rate is fixed or floating.
The rights of a particular bond issue are specified in a written document, usually called an "indenture," and federal and state securities and commercial laws apply to the enforcement of those documents, which are construed by courts as contracts. Those terms may be changed while the bonds are outstanding, but amendments to the governing document often require approval by a majority vote of the bondholders.
Interest is paid on the first "coupon date" and subsequently on coupon dates at regular intervals, if the issuer has the money to make those payments then. If the interest ("coupon") payments have not all been made when due, and so are in arrears, the issuer must also pay those back-due amounts when it redeems the bond, in addition to the principal ("face") amount.
The bond may have a "call" provision that allows the issuer to pay back the debt (= "redeem the bond") before its nominal maturity date but, even when there is no such provision requiring a holder to let the issuer redeem a bond before its maturity date, the issuer may offer to redeem a bond early, and its holder may accept or reject that offer.
Bonds classified according to various categories:
The interest rate that the issuer of a bond must pay is influenced by a variety of factors, such as current market interest rates, the length of the term and the credit worthiness of the issuer. Since these factors are likely to change over time, the market value of a bond can vary after it is issued.
- Fixed-rate bonds, where the interest rate remains constant throughout the life of the bond.
- Floating-rate bonds, with a variable interest rate that is tied to a benchmark such as a money market index.
- Zero-coupon bonds, which do not bear interest, as such, but are sold at a substantial discount from their par value. The bondholder receives the full face value at maturity, and the "spread" between the issue price and redemption price is the bond's yield. (Series E savings bonds from the U.S. government are zero-coupon bonds.) Zero-coupon bonds may be created from normal bonds by finance institutions "stripping" the coupons (the interest part of the bond) from them - that is, they separate the coupons from the principle part of the bond and sell them independantly from each other.
- Inflation Indexed bonds, in which the principle (or "face" value) is indexed to inflation. TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) and I-bonds are examples of inflation indexed bonds issued by the US government.
The market price of a bond may include the accrued interest since the last coupon date (possibly some bond markets include it in the trading price and others add it on explicitly after trading). The price including accrued interest is known as the "flat" or "tel quel price," although it will presumably fluctuate with the interest payment period. (See also Accrual bond.)
The interest rate adjusted for the current price of the bond is called the "current yield" or "earnings yield" (this is the nominal yield multiplied by the par value and divided by the price).
Taking account the expected capital gain or loss (the difference between the current price and the redemption value) gives the "redemption yield": roughly the current yield plus the capital gain (negative for loss) per year until redemption.
High-yield bonds (with a correspondingly high risk) are sometimes known as junk bonds. Bonds issued by the government of the United Kingdom in sterling are known as gilts.
Bonds may be issued by various types of institution:
- Sovereign bonds are issued by national governments.
- Municipal bonds are issued by local governments.
- Corporate bonds are issued by companies.

In chemistry and allied sciences, a chemical bond is the force which holds atoms together in molecules or crystals. In simple compounds, concepts such as valency or oxidation number can help determine whether or not atoms can bond with other atoms of the same or different type in a certain way. With more complicated compounds, such as complexes, valence concepts fail and a more thorough understanding of quantum mechanics is necessary.
The spatial characteristics and range of energies encompassed by chemical forces span a continuum, making the terms for the different types of chemical bond somewhat arbitrary or overlapping in their applicability, but the types include:
In all types of bonding, the electronic configuration of the molecule or substance (in the case of extended array structures, such as found in crystals). The types of bonding are differentiated by the extent to which electron density is localized or delocalized among the atoms of the substance. In the case of ionic bonding, electrons are more tightly associated with individual atoms, with net charges being assigned to discrete constituent atoms throughout the substance, with the nature of the interatomic (or more appropriately) interionic forces largely characterized by isotropic continuum electrostatic potentials.
- ionic bond
- covalent bond
- coordinate covalent bond
- metallic bond
- hydrogen bond
In contrast, the electron density distributions within covalent bonds are not so readily assigned to individual atoms, but are instead delocalized across the molecule in structures sometimes described as molecular orbitals, which may have more directed, anisotropic properties. Intermediate situations certainly exist, with bonds having some mix of polarized ionic-like nature and some more electronically dispersed structure.
Ionic bonding can largely be described by classical mechanics, but the complexity of covalent bonding relies more heavily on concepts from quantum mechanics.
Other attractions between atoms/molecules
Other types of interatomic and intermolecular forces that occur within the chemical energy regime, but which are not characterized as bonds are:
- London forces
- hydrogen bond attraction
- Intermolecular force
- See also: atomic orbitals, double bond, periodic table

In chemistry, a hydrogen bond is a type of attractive intermolecular force that exists between two partial electric charges of opposite polarity. Although stronger than most other intermolecular forces, the hydrogen bond is much weaker than both the ionic bond and the covalent bond. Within macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, it can exist between two parts of the same molecule, and figures as an important constraint on such molecules' overall shape.As the name "hydrogen bond" implies, one part of the bond involves a hydrogen atom. The hydrogen must be attached to a strongly electronegative heteroatom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, which is called the hydrogen-bond donor. This electronegative element attracts the electron cloud from around the hydrogen nucleus and, by decentralizing the cloud, leaves the atom with a positive partial charge. Because of the small size of hydrogen relative to other atoms and molecules, the resulting charge, though only partial, nevertheless represents a large charge density. A hydrogen bond results when this strong positive charge density attracts a lone pair of electrons on another heteroatom, which becomes the hydrogen-bond acceptor.
The hydrogen bond is not like a simple attraction between point charges, however. It possesses some degree of orientational preference, and can be shown to have some of the characteristics of a covalent bond. This covalency tends to be more extreme when acceptors bind hydrogens from more electronegative donors.
Strong covalency in a hydrogen bond begs the question, to which molecule or atom does the hydrogen nucleus belong, as well as which should be labelled "donor" and which called "acceptor." According to chemical convention, the donor generally is that atom to which, on separation of donor and acceptor, the retention of the hydrogen nucleus (or proton) would cause no increase in the atom's positive charge. The acceptor meanwhile is the atom or molecule that would become more positive by retaining the positively charged proton.
The most ubiquitous, and perhaps simplest, example of a hydrogen bond is found between water molecules. In a discrete water molecule, water has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Two molecules of water can form a hydrogen bond between them. The oxygen of one water molecule has two lone pairs of electrons, each of which can form a hydrogen bond with hydrogens on two other water molecules. This can repeat so that every water molecule is H-bonded with four other molecules (two through its two lone pairs, and two through its two hydrogen atoms.)
Liquid water's high boiling point is due to the high number of hydrogen bonds each molecule can have relative to its low molecular mass. Water is unique because its oxygen atom has two lone pairs and two hydrogen atoms, meaning that the total number of bonds of a water molecule is four. (For example, hydrogen bromide- which has two lone pairs on the Br atom but only one H atom - can have a total of only two bonds.)
- H-O-H...O-H2
In ice, the crystalline lattice is dominated by a regular array of hydrogen bonds which space the water molecules farther apart than they are in liquid water. This accounts for water's decrease in density upon freezing. In other words, the presence of hydrogen bonds enables ice to float, because this spacing causes ice to be less dense than liquid water.
- H-Br...H-Br...H-Br
Were the bond strengths more equivalent, one might instead find the atoms of two interacting water molecules partitioned into two polyatomic ions of opposite charge, specifically hydroxide and hydronium.
Indeed, in pure water under conditions of standard temperature and pressure, this latter formulation is applicable only rarely, on average but once in every 10-14 times (which is the value of the dissociation constant for water under such conditions).
- H-O- H3O+
Hydrogen bonding also plays an important role in determining the three-dimensional structures adopted by proteins and nucleic acids. In these macromolecules, bonding between parts of the same macromolecule cause it to fold into a specific shape, which helps determine the molecule's physiological or biochemical role. The double helical structure of DNA, for example, is due largely to hydrogen bonding between the base pairs, which link one complementary strand to the other and enable replication.
In proteins, hydrogen bonds form between the backbone oxygens and amide hydrogens. When the spacing of the amino acid residues participating in a hydrogen bond occurs regularly between positions i and i+4, an alpha helix is formed. When the spacing is less, between positions i and i+3, then a 310 helix is formed. When two strands are joined by hydrogen bonds involving alternating residues on each participating strand, a beta sheet is formed.(See also protein folding).

James Bond is a fictional character, a sophisticated British secret agent spy invented by and and appearing in books by Ian Fleming (and later Kingsley Amis, John Gardner and Raymond Benson). Bond has an identity number of 007, pronounced: double-oh seven. The 'double-oh' prefix indicates a 'license to kill' in the course of his duty. There are a series of filmss, and some notable videogames about the character.

Personal Information
James Bond is the son of a Scottish father and a Swiss mother, both of whom are dead from a climbing accident by the time of the books and movies. He went to school briefly at Eton College. In the movies he has a degree in Oriental Languages from Cambridge University, although this contradicts the information in the novels. He served in the Royal Navy before joining the Secret Service, and holds the rank of Commander. In both the book and movie of On Her Majesty's Secret Service he marries, but his wife is killed the same day.
Overview
Bond movies are known for their cartoonish villains, beautiful women (most of whom end up in bed with Bond), amazing gadgetry manufactured by "Q", and outrageous stunts. Most had little to do with the real activities of intelligence agencies, involving Bond in violent acts of derring-do to save the world from various apocalyptic madmen. The madmen invariably attempt to kill Bond using rather improbable and elaborate methods, from which Bond escapes after the gloating villain gives him the critical information necessary to thwart his fiendish plot. Despite the films' description as "thrillers," Bond's cocky character is rarely troubled, regardless of the odds facing him. Many of the original books have a much darker tone however, with fewer fantastic elements and gadgetry.
Bond is employed by the British Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6, a real-life institution. His superiors are known by single letters such as M and Q, a practice which is also used in the real institution where the chief, for example, is known as C.
Bond's female companions, as well as being beautiful, are often given names that are double entendres, leading to a succession of corny jokes. Examples include "Pussy Galore" in Goldfinger, "Plenty O'Toole" in Diamonds Are Forever, and "Xenia Onatopp" (a villain who gets sexually excited by strangling men between her shapely thighs) in GoldenEye. Despite Bond's patronising attitudes towards women, most of these leading ladies end up, if not in love with him, at least subdued by him.
Bond films began to look increasingly outdated throughout the 1980s, with the main character's sexism and the fixation with glamorous locations looking anachronistic and his unruffled exterior increasingly incongruous when compared to movies such as Die Hard. After a relatively unsuccessful attempt to turn Bond in a harder-edged direction with Timothy Dalton as the main character, the successful 1990s revival with Pierce Brosnan in the lead role has increasingly turned the series into self-parody.
At least a little of the Bond character was based on the life of its creator, who was noted for his glamorous lifestyle (including a fair number of female companions). The character is also believed to have been inspired by several of Fleming's contemporaries in British Intelligence during World War Two. The famous Casino in Estoril, Portugal is credited as the birthplace of Bond. The Casino was a home away from home for many spies operating during WW2, with Portugal operating as a neutral ground during the conflict. Fleming was inspired by the atmosphere at the Casino, where much of Europe's royalty mingled openly with many of the world's covert agencies.
The first actor to play Bond was American Barry Nelson, in a 1954 CBS TV production of Casino Royale. In 1956, Bob Holness played the spy in a South African radio dramatisation of Moonraker.
James Bond is a moderate to heavy drinker, having consumed 100 alcoholic beverages in his films up to 2002, and more than 250 in Ian Fleming's novels. In the films, he has champagne 32 times, and drinks 20 vodka martinis.
James Bond is a household name (arguably the most successful fictional character ever) and has had a definitive impact on the spy genre, including some parodies like Casino Royale (1967), the Austin Powers movies, and Johnny English (2003). In the 1960s, the success of the 007 films inspired numerous television imitators, including The Man From U.N.C.L.E, I Spy, Get Smart, and The Wild Wild West.
Video games have been released based on all the movies from A View to a Kill (1985) onwards. There was also a generic Bond game based on the Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening engine.
Fleming saw the cover of a book on ornithology by an American author named "James Bond", and thought it would be a good name for his spy, since he wanted a name that sounded 'as ordinary as possible'.
Bond characters
- Bond's boss, M
- Bond's Quartermaster, Q
- Felix Leiter - Bond's CIA liason
- Miss Moneypenny - secretary to M.
- Ernst Stavro Blofeld - head of S.P.E.C.T.R.E
- Bond girls - miscellaneous female companions or enemies of Bond, invariably beautiful and rarely appearing in more than one movie.
Bond Bits
- Bond introduces himself with the words "The/My name is Bond, James Bond." This introduction is so well known that it has entered the US popular culture
- He prefers his vodka martinis "shaken, not stirred" (although in the books, it was the other way round, for the films, the better flowing description was used)
- His family motto is Orbis non sufficit (The World is Not Enough)
Books
Fleming himself wrote twelve Bond novels. In order of publication, they are:He also wrote two compilations of short stories featuring the character:
- Casino Royale (1953)
- Live and Let Die (1954)
- Moonraker (1955)
- Diamonds are Forever (1956)
- From Russia with Love (1957)
- Dr. No (1958)
- Goldfinger (1959)
- Thunderball (1961) - with others. Because of controversy surrounding Thunderball's conception, this led to film-rights wranglings
- The Spy Who Loved Me (1962) - Not exactly a Bond adventure -
- On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1963)
- You Only Live Twice (1964)
- The Man With the Golden Gun (1965)
Almost all of these stories later served as the basis (though sometimes little beyond the title) for Bond films. One additional short-short story, "007 in New York", appeared in Fleming's collection of travel essays, Thrilling Cities (1964).
- For Your Eyes Only. Five Secret Occasions in the Life of James Bond (1960)
- including "For Your Eyes Only", "From A View To Kill", "Quantum of Solace", "Risico", and "The Hildebrand Rarity"
- Octopussy and The Living Daylights (1966)
- including "Octopussy", "The Property Of A Lady" and "The Living Daylights"
Other writers have written sequels since the death of Fleming, the first being Colonel Sun, by Kingsley Amis (writing as Robert Markham).
Films
Every Bond fan has their own favourite actor who has played the part. Connery played him as the tough guy, always ready with the clenched fist beneath the polished exterior. Moore's Bond was much smoother and more sophisticated, rarely getting a hair out of place while saving the world. The films of Timothy Dalton attempted to take Bond back to the darker roots of the books, making him a more complex and troubled character.

James Bond (ornithologist)
James Bond (born January 4, 1900) is (as noted above) also the name of the ornithologist who wrote Birds of the West Indies. This book was first published in 1936, is now in its fifth edition and is still in print (ISBN 0618002103). Ian Fleming acknowledged borrowing the name which he felt to be suitably "dull" and "anonymous." James Bond (spy) can be seen examining what appears to be this book in Die Another Day.
A 1997 New York Times article on Ian Fleming refers to Bond as "the late ornithologist."
Terance James Bond is the name of an ornithological and wildlife artist born in 1946 in Suffolk, Great Britain.

A particularly intense or prolonged personal relationship may result in a psychological bond. Thus we speak of the "bond of marriage" or of a mother "bonding" with a new-born baby.Advocates of teams in business organisation would have potential team members "bonding" with each other and (especially) with team leaders.

John Locke | 1690 | This is a power, which neither nature gives, for it has made no such distinction between one man and another; nor compact can convey: for man not having such an arbitrary power over his own life, cannot give another man such a power over it; but it is the effect only of forfeiture, which the aggressor makes of his own life, when he puts himself into the state of war with another: for having quitted reason, which God hath given to be the rule betwixt man and man, and the common bond whereby human kind is united into one fellowship and society; and having renounced the way of peace which that teaches, and made use of the force of war, to compass his unjust ends upon another, where he has no right; and so revolting from his own kind to that of beasts, by making force, which is their's, to be his rule of right, he renders himself liable to be destroyed by the injured person, and the rest of mankind, that will join with him in the execution of justice, as any other wild beast, or noxious brute, with whom mankind can have neither society nor security.
