The document summarizes a fundraising event held on July 18, 2013 in Charlotte, NC to benefit the SEAL Legacy Foundation, which supports fallen and wounded US Navy SEALs and their families. It describes how the event came about through connections between families in the local community, including one family whose son attended the Naval Academy and later became a Navy SEAL. The casual event at BelleAcres venue included food, drinks, fellowship and a presentation about the Foundation, drawing 75 attendees and raising $16,100 to support the SEALs and their families.
The document discusses how the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group, can support technology businesses in developed countries by financing their green projects in emerging markets. The IFC aims to find "win-win" partnerships that promote sustainable growth in emerging countries while benefiting technology companies in developed countries through capital, experience, and technology gains. The IFC offers long-term financing, political risk mitigation, expertise in emerging markets and industries, and helps scale businesses globally in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

I put this presentation together while I was doing my LL.M at The University of Sydney.
I was watching the London 2012 Olympics and I thought this presentation would be appropriate. I hope proves useful!!
Securitisation is used for a number of reasons, including risk transfer, balance sheet management, funding diversification and lowering funding costs.
Though securitisations were first applied to mortgage loans, later, in the 1980s, its techniques where applied to credit card receivables and auto loans. Today, these asset classes have grown into their own markets in which an extensive and subtle array of financial products has developed. Thus, nowadays, new assets, such as pharmaceutical patent revenues, trademark leases or future tickets receipts, are part of these transactions.
Apparently, the key seems to be whether the asset is capable of commoditization: if its cash flows are sufficiently stable and predictable and if the asset class relates to a service provided en masse to the public its chance of survival and promulgation increase.
One of the markets which has used securitisations is sports, particularly football clubs in the United Kingdom.
Since 1999 English football clubs such as Newcastle, Southampton, Leicester City, Ipswich Town, Leeds United and Arsenal FC have used securitisations as a devise to raise millions of pounds.

This was one of the feature articles for the NFSA Arbitrage Winter edition 2010. It included a feature Interview with Jeff Rubin, Former Chief Economist for the CIBC & Author of: *Why Your World Is About To Get A Whole Lot Smaller*
This document provides an introduction to algorithms and flowcharts. It defines an algorithm as a set of instructions to carry out a process and reach a solution. Examples provided include recipes, knitting patterns, and assembly instructions. The document explains that a flowchart uses boxes and arrows to visually represent the steps in an algorithm. It includes shapes to represent different step types. Two tasks are provided as examples - creating an algorithm and flowchart for making a cup of tea, and modifying it for making coffee.
