This document provides an introduction to cathodic protection systems. It discusses how corrosion occurs via electrochemical processes between anode and cathode sites on a structure. Cathodic protection aims to minimize corrosion by applying current to equalize potentials across a structure. There are two main types of systems - galvanic uses sacrificial anodes, while impressed current uses an external power source. The document outlines the design process for both systems, including determining protection needs, selecting anodes, and calculating required currents and resistances.

Goldman Sachs is a global investment banking and securities firm founded in 1869 with headquarters in New York City and offices worldwide. It provides services including global investments, trading, asset management, and mergers and acquisition advice. While known for its "long-term greedy" philosophy of prioritizing long-term gains over short-term losses, Goldman Sachs has also been involved in several famous crises, including underwriting debt for Penn Central Transportation Company which later went bankrupt, receiving bailout funds from the Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis, and paying large fines for its role in the Abacus CDO scandal.
FindLaw | AIG Bonus Details Letter from NY AGLegalDocs
The Attorney General wrote to the House Committee on Financial Services to provide information about his investigation into executive compensation at AIG. He expressed dismay that AIG distributed over $160 million in retention bonuses to its Financial Products unit after receiving taxpayer funds. While AIG claims it had no choice, the AG argues AIG had leverage as employees agreed to $1 salaries in exchange for bonuses. The AG is seeking the names of bonus recipients to determine if AIG's claims that they were crucial to unwinding the unit are valid, as some recipients are no longer employed there. His office subpoenaed AIG for the names and will enforce compliance, as American taxpayers deserve to know where money is going.
This shareholder derivative complaint alleges that the Board of Directors of Chesapeake Energy breached their fiduciary duties. Specifically, it alleges that the Board approved transactions that created conflicts of interest for CEO Aubrey McClendon due to his personal financing arrangements, and failed to properly oversee McClendon or disclose these conflicts. The complaint seeks to hold the Board accountable for these alleged breaches and remedy any resulting harm to the company.
This document summarizes a recent Quebec court case regarding the restructuring of an insolvent construction company under Canadian insolvency law. The court approved an arrangement allowing for a partial release of claims against the company's surety. This was permitted because the surety's continued participation in providing required bonds was critical to the viability of the company's restructuring plan. While some case law suggests third party releases may not be allowed under insolvency law, the court found the circumstances here distinguishable and the arrangement fair and reasonable given the surety's central role in the plan.
This document discusses two cases of hedge fund fraud - the Bayou hedge fund fraud from 1996-2005 and litigation brought by the San Diego County Employees Retirement Association against Amaranth Advisors following Amaranth's collapse in 2006. The Bayou fraud involved fabricating financial statements and account balances to conceal trading losses from investors. Amaranth allegedly misrepresented its investment strategy and risk management practices, resulting in $6.6 billion in losses from natural gas trades. Both cases highlight the harm caused to investors from hedge fund fraud and the challenges investors face in obtaining evidence to support legal claims against fraudulent funds.

Grain of salt as with anything, but since I share this article once in a while thought it may be helpful to you. I\'ve witnessed claim issues and people should know about what unfortunate things can occur. File can be found online at http://www.justice.org/docs/TenWorstInsuranceCompanies.pdf
This document discusses several corporate fraud cases, including Enron, Worldcom, and Parmalat. It provides details on the fraudulent accounting techniques used by Enron to inflate profits and conceal losses, such as manipulating earnings, hiding uncollectible receivables, and concealing failures in business segments. For Worldcom, it outlines how the company misstated cash flow by improperly recording expenses as capital expenditures, and overstated earnings by $7.2 billion total.
1. American International Group (AIG) was bailed out by the US government during the 2008 financial crisis after facing bankruptcy from risky bets on mortgage-backed securities.
2. A new study found that AIG executives were wrong to claim the underlying mortgage assets were "money good" or safe long-term investments, as they actually incurred substantial losses.
3. AIG's risky bets through credit default swaps and securities lending, as well as a liquidity crunch when counterparties demanded payment, left the insurance giant vulnerable when the housing market collapsed.
1) The document discusses the events leading up to the 2007-2008 financial crisis, including the rise of subprime mortgages, collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), and credit default swaps (CDS).
2) It describes how losses in the subprime mortgage market led to the collapse of Bear Stearns in 2008 and how the Federal Reserve intervened to prevent further damage.
3) Key events that exacerbated the crisis included the bankruptcies of Lehman Brothers and the rescue of insurance giant AIG by the Federal Reserve.
MAJOR CORPORATE SCAMS eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeePRESENTATION.pptxGanesh Panda
Major corporate scandals in India and abroad are discussed. Enron manipulated earnings through fraudulent accounting techniques like improperly reporting revenues and expenses to consistently report earnings growth of 15-20% annually. Worldcom improperly accounted for $3.8 billion in expenses to hide losses. Xerox improperly recognized revenue from copy machine leases. Tyco's CEO and CFO were indicted for fraud after paying themselves unauthorized bonuses of hundreds of millions. In India, Satyam's CEO admitted to manipulating accounting for years by overstating assets and understating liabilities by $1 billion each.
The document discusses the causes of the subprime mortgage crisis and how it spread through the financial system. It describes how low interest rates led to overinvestment in the housing market. Mortgage lenders lowered standards and offered risky loans. When housing prices declined and interest rates rose, there was a wave of defaults. Financial institutions had transferred risk through securities and derivatives, spreading losses throughout the global financial system and causing the near-collapse of some major firms.
Merck set up a partnership with a British bank to move drug patents and the profits from them offshore. This allowed Merck to reduce its US tax bill by $1.5 billion over 10 years. The IRS is now disputing this arrangement and says Merck owes $2.3 billion in back taxes, interest and penalties. These types of international partnerships that exploit differences in tax rules are increasingly being challenged by the IRS as improper tax avoidance. Merck says it did nothing wrong and was simply raising financing, while the IRS argues the deals lack economic substance and were designed only to avoid taxes.
This document discusses how title insurance has evolved to help manage risks for lenders. Specifically:
- Title insurance was traditionally used to minimize errors and manage problems with real estate liens and priority. It has now expanded to also provide insurance for personal property collateral through new "UCC insurance policies".
- UCC insurance works similarly to traditional title insurance but insures against issues with perfecting security interests in personal property. It helps establish the strength of commercial loan assets.
- Risk managers see insurance as a key tool for mitigating operational risks. UCC insurance in particular imposes discipline and reduces legal risks associated with personal property collateral.
1) The document summarizes governance issues at several large companies, including Massey Energy, Nabors Industries, Yahoo, and Chesapeake Energy.
2) At Massey Energy, a mine explosion that killed 29 workers revealed a history of safety violations and a culture of putting profits over compliance. The CEO was eventually sent to prison.
3) At Nabors Industries, the CEO received extremely lucrative compensation, including stock options that netted him over $400 million, drawing criticism from shareholders.
4) Yahoo had frequent turnover in CEOs as the company struggled, with five CEOs in six years, drawing criticism for poor governance and decision making during acquisition negotiations.
By David F. Larcker, Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series. Corporate Governance Research Initiative (CGRI), April 14, 2016
Institutional investors pay considerable attention to the quality of a company’s governance. Unfortunately, it is difficult for outside observers to reliably gauge governance quality. Oftentimes, poor governance manifests itself only after decisions have been made and their outcomes known. We examine four companies that have had experienced chronic governance-related problems in the past, including Massey Energy, Nabors Industries, Yahoo!, and Chesapeake Energy.
We ask:
How can shareholders diagnose the issues facing a company to determine whether they are the result of bad corporate governance?
How can shareholders tell if the CEO or the board is the root cause of the problem?
How can shareholders tell if the board is “captured” by the CEO?
How can shareholders tell when a company begins to “drift?”
How can they tell if the “right” CEO is in charge?
Brief for amicus curiae professor Anne Krueger in support of the Republic of ...Foro Blog
This document is a brief submitted by Professor Anne Krueger as an amicus curiae in support of reversing the district court's decisions. The brief discusses three key issues: 1) circumstances under which sovereigns become unable to service their debt, 2) importance of international capital markets for emerging markets, and 3) need to address unsustainable sovereign debt. The brief argues that requiring ratable payments to holdouts from debt restructurings would have negative consequences, including higher sovereign borrowing costs, problems for sovereigns in debt distress, and difficulties for the IMF.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

2. Wayland Adams, a machinist supervi-
sor, the $992,208 investment he made
with Mr. McFadden in 1998 was worth
$302,265 by May 2003. Mr. McFadden
made a commission of $66,679 on Mr.
Adams' investment, in this case a varia-
ble annuity, according to Mr. Peiffer.
The arbitration panel awarded Mr.
Adams $629,740.32 in damages and
another $189,418.60 in punitive damages.
Securities America was purchased
by Ameriprise in 1998, and its brokers
operate like independent business peo-
ple.
Ameriprise yesterday, in a regulatory
filing, said the award, if upheld, will not
have a material impact on its earnings.
