Risk Analysis for Lunar and Martian ColoniesShawn Nicolen
Created as a part of my Information Assurance Master's Degree coursework, the assignment is to document a system security authorization program for a fictitious U.S. government agency. I had fun here and created the "Office for Lunar and Martian Affairs" based on some creative rewriting of 20th century history.

Investment banking tombstones and deal toys are frequently associated with the word “Lucite”. In reality, materials other than Lucite and acrylic are frequently selected to be used in deal commemoratives.
Because of the level of customization usually demanded in deal toys, there are certain sectors and industries that lend themselves to the use of resin. Certain 3-D figures and buildings, for example, benefit from both the color reproduction and 3-D detailing that resin offers.

Over 100 of the city’s senior business community gathered at the 2015 Marketing Birmingham AGM, to review the past 12 months and look ahead to even greater progress in 2016
Today, cities around the world are seen as the engines for sustainable regional economic growth. But the playing field for cities is changing dramatically.
Fundamental changes such as climate change, technological advances, increasing societal demands and shifting power from national to local levels are changing the playing field of cities worldwide. While many cities in emerging and advanced economies continue to thrive (including Auckland), it's uncertain whether such growth can be sustained overtime.
Within this context and utilising the assessment methodology, this presentation was given by PwC global experts Hazem Galal and Egon de Haas at an Auckland Conversations event, in association with Auckland Council. It considers how Auckland is coping and what Auckland needs to do differently in the future, to ensure sustainable success in a global context.

Startups & Venture Capital in the United Kingdom: The Global Startup HubFrontline Ventures
A lot is riding on the UK remaining the premier destination for European startups. In light of Brexit, and tremendous growth in other European markets- will London remain the city of choice for European entrepreneurs?
In our third edition of “Startups & Venture Capital in…” (following Germany in collaboration with Point Nine Capital and the Nordics in collaboration with Northzone), Frontline takes deep dive into its own backyard — the United Kingdom.
We believe it is the most comprehensive report ever created on startups and venture capital in the UK.
Shoreditch, East LondonWhat we have learned:
The UK is unique for its late stage capital compared to other major European technology hubs. London counts 8 funds with £1b+ in funds raised — versus 2 in Germany and 1 in the Nordics.
London has more than 2x the engineering talent of Paris or 4x that of Berlin. London even beats New York in terms of absolute number of developers.
The United Kingdom is unmatched in terms of £100m+ exits in quantity and diversity among sectors. There are £1b+ tech companies in eCommerce, fintech, gaming, travel, proptech, telecom, and enterprise software.
Will Europe tops UK post-Brexit?
With a high concentration of talent, capital and leadership, the UK will remain a significant tech hub for the next decade.
However, Brexit is likely to slow the pace of immigration; this is a significant issue in a country where 75% of new businesses are set up by immigrants.
With venture activity in Berlin, Paris, and other European hubs growing much faster than London, will the UK cede its position as Europe’s leading tech hub?
Read through our “Startups & Venture Capital in the United Kingdom” deck and find out for yourself.
