Описание: More than ever before, institutional investors and their consultants are probing investment management firms' risk management policies and procedures. Beyond market, credit and liquidity risk, their concern extends to investment managers' back- and middle-office functions. For example, investors and consultants are asking: - Is the firm managed and staffed by qualified people? - Are workflows properly documented and consistently followed? - Are employees cross-trained to handle one another's jobs? - Does the firm keep track of collateral in the hands of prime brokers? - How does the firm plan ahead for changes in the regulatory and competitive environment? In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, clients and prospects want to know the answers to these and many other questions. And they will not entrust assets to organizations whose day-to-day operations are chaotic or whose long-term business prospects are doubtful. "In worst-case scenarios, an investment firm's failure to identify and mitigate operational risk can result in significant direct costs and a devastating loss of reputation," write Holly H. Miller and Philip Lawton. "It may take years to reassure investors, regulators and trading partners that the firm is well-managed." Internationally known as dynamic speakers and engaging writers, the authors of The Top Ten Operational Risks draw upon their extensive practical experience to offer clear, compelling and-above all-useful advice about how to recognize and lessen the risk of loss due to inadequate internal processes, people and systems or external events. Starting with complacency on the part of senior management, each of this book's central chapters addresses one of the ways in which investment management firms may be exposed to unwelcome surprises. There are succinct, readable essays on staffing, training and the special attention due hand-offs among individuals, teams, systems and external service providers. Other chapters focus on technology, workflows and aspects of the segregation of duties that are especially significant in the investment management industry, such as observing the distinction between the firm and the funds it manages. The authors additionally bring their experience to bear on reconciliation gaps, the importance of knowing the firm's counterparties and the regulatory regimes to which they are answerable, and the challenges of effective strategic planning in a rapidly changing marketplace. C-level executives and middle managers in sales and marketing, client and consultant relations, compliance, human resources and internal audit will find The Top Ten Operational Risks intriguing. Their colleagues in risk management and investment operations will find it indispensible. As Milton Ezrati writes in the foreword, "The investment of an hour or two will offer managers numerous ways to improve their firm and their client service and, critically, a means to guard against rather large, unexpected expenses."

Описание:
Amy's Story begins with Amy moving from Italy to New York City to live near her American father. Her journey from immigrant to successful publisher is intertwined with the story of Stella, her childhood friend, whose unfinished memoir she intends to publish. They both experience love, friendship, obstacles, success, and more, as their path runs parallel to the Vietnam War, student protests and the Kent State shooting, hippie culture, the birth of radicalism and feminism, presidential elections and assassinations, the Watergate scandal, up to the 9/11 attack and beyond, providing a commentary on the historical highlights that influenced the development of American society over the past 40 years and brought about the current outcome.
Additional captivating characters complete the picture and sustain the action: Jim, a heartthrob who conceals his sensitive nature under a bravado fa ade. Steve, Stella's husband, conformist and uninspiring; Nik, a passionate and extravagant Russian intellectual; Rosa, once a maid at Amy's grandmother's country estate and now married to the owner of a New York pizzeria; and others.
Stella's memoir never gets published, because Amy transforms it into a very successful novel. This twist will have the reader re-imagine the entire story and see it from a surprising new perspective.

Описание:
A home invasion uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to overthrow a nationwide criminal enterprise.
For Marco Salazar, it was supposed to be a routine home invasion. Except, as he learned, there's no such thing. With the help of his longtime friend, Antonio Esposito - the soft-spoken wingman - and his pizzeria-owning uncle, Amelio "Big Sal", Marco's journey for righteousness for his falsely imprisoned father, Bartolo, leads them through the suburbs of Boston. A string of home invasions leaves the trio just shy of having the money needed for Bartolo's defense attorney's retainer, and they've saved their prime target for last. But even the target - a 1941 Victorian in a quiet neighborhood in Stoneham - has secrets trapped deep within its walls, and unlocking them might unravel a whole new world that has its own set of rules. And the players who loom in the shadows are ruthless, with its net stretching even wider than anyone could imagine. Nobody can be trusted.
And that's only the beginning.
What the secrets may reveal could tear down an underground criminal enterprise, and it threatens to destroy everything that Marco has worked for. Families will be torn apart, bonds will be broken, and faith in one another will be put into question. All the while, the clock is ticking on Bartolo. And if Marco somehow makes it out alive, his life will be changed forever.

Would you like to de-stress your life and take back complete control?
How liberating would it be if you could remove much of the hurt from the painful experiences in your life?
How would you like to guarantee yourself that you'll never be a victim of anyone or anything ever again?
Ever since our early ancestors started inventing various gods, humanity has been trying to find ways of explaining why bad things happen. So crops failed because they hadn't sacrificed enough virgins. By contrast in our increasingly secular age we've been conditioned to accept that sh*t just happens sometimes. Which sounds like a wonderfully laid back and philosophical approach to adopt. The only trouble is it's just plain wrong.
All the modern evidence - from the world of sport, through out-of-body exploration and channelled messages from wise entities, to modern scientific research - suggests the primacy of the 'law of attraction'. That is, we create our experience, both good and bad, via our beliefs, conditioning, thoughts and intentions. So we attract sh*t into our lives not because God is vengeful, or because random chance just deals us a bad hand sometimes, but because of negative or limiting beliefs stored mainly in our subconscious that are often at odds with our conscious desires. Think of the person with low self-esteem who constantly attracts abusive partners.
The trick then is to recognise we're responsible for attracting the entirety of our life experience, both good and bad, and to maximise the extent to which we create consciously rather than unconsciously. Above all we need to remember that we're not puny human beings buffeted by outrageous fortune, nor are we ever victims of anyone or anything. Instead each of us is a divine 'creator god' possessed of incredible power and wisdom.

Описание:
A new consciousness is emerging on planet earth.
Huge swathes of the human population are waking up to the incredible truth of who and what we really are.
And now the next pieces of the jigsaw reveal a power in each of us way beyond our wildest imaginings... the power of our SUPERSOUL.
In the latter decades of the twentieth century a degree of spiritual consensus emerged. It centred around the idea that we all have a soul that survives our physical death; that lives many lives to gain a rich variety of experience; and that will at some point have overcome the multitude of challenges the human experience has to offer, and move on to grow in other ways in other realms. Some have taken a different tack and focussed more on ideas of illusion and addiction, but arguably their influence has remained more on the fringe.
This worldview has served us well as the tide of the new consciousness has gathered momentum. But what if it only scratches the surface of an underlying reality that is far more complex and intriguing?
The clues have been available, scattered here and there, for decades. In Robert Monroe's pioneering journeys out of his body, when he met with supreme intelligences that he eventually realized were only 'other aspects of himself'. In Jane Roberts' seminal Seth channelings, which revealed that he and she were part of the same 'oversoul'. And in the widely channelled messages from the 'group entity' Michael, who describe 'themselves' as comprised of many individual 'soul fragments'.
All these sources remain hugely popular, yet somehow the vital clues they left for us have remained somewhat overlooked. But now they can be pulled together into a worldview potentially enhanced by scientists who propose a fundamentally holographic and digital reality. A radical worldview that opens up huge new possibilities for us all as we collectively pioneer the most radical change in human consciousness ever witnessed on planet earth.
