Technical presentation demonstrating Ubuntu running on EC2 as well as management tools to manage EC2 with some preview of the upcoming Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud
Cloud computing refers to applications and services delivered over the internet. There are three main types of cloud offerings: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Private clouds run on internal infrastructure behind a company's firewall while public clouds exist outside on external infrastructure. Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) allows companies to build private clouds using their own infrastructure that match the API of Amazon EC2, the standard for public clouds. Future releases of UEC aim to improve integration with management tools and provide increased portability between internal and external cloud environments.

1) The document analyzes how different investment horizons and herding behavior impact investor returns over multiple market cycles from 2001-2008.
2) It tracks sales volatility and changes in investor herding to identify phases where returns were most impacted by shifts in sentiment.
3) The analysis finds that discipline around selling, rather than buying, had a greater impact on returns. Investors with medium-term horizons of 2-5 years tended to perform best when taking a bearish stance, while bullish investors favored longer horizons of 5+ years.
The document provides notes from the author's experience attending the Citywire Montreux Fund Selector conference in May 2012. Over three days, the author interviewed 12 fund managers overlooking Lake Geneva. On the first day, the author met with three managers: 1) Hiromitsu Kamata of Amundi, who manages a conservative Japanese equities fund focusing on undervalued stocks with high dividends, 2) Jesper Madsen of Matthews Asia, who manages an Asia dividend fund seeking 4% yields from the region, and believes Asian companies will prioritize dividends over growth as they mature, and 3) SooHai Lim of Baring ASEAN Frontiers, who manages a Southeast Asia fund utilizing both fundamental analysis and quantitative screening
The document summarizes the findings of a 2011 survey conducted by Davis Advertising Inc. on the performance of job posting and aggregator sites on Google searches. The survey found that Indeed and SimplyHired were the top results for 60% of searches and that being the first organic search result on Google generates 5-8 times more clicks than other positions. It recommends optimizing jobs for Indeed and SimplyHired as the most important step and supplementing with paid social media advertising.
Intro To VaR, Distributions, KRIs And Logic TestJon Beckett
The document discusses using Value at Risk (VaR) as a risk measure to demonstrate Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) outcomes to regulators. It explains how VaR fits into a fund's distribution pattern and can flag unexpected risks like volatility spikes earlier than traditional measures. Key Risk Indicators are presented that can help analyze whether funds are performing as expected based on investor guidelines.
The document proposes a framework for evaluating fund governance and whether funds behave as expected based on their stated objectives and guidelines. It involves identifying key risk indicators (KRIs) and thresholds for different types of funds, monitoring for unexpected behaviors, and escalating issues based on the number of "yes" responses to a logic test involving the KRIs. Tracking various risk measures and performing targeted attribution analysis are part of the proposed approach. The goal is to systematically evaluate funds and identify any issues requiring action.
This document discusses the different types of conditional clauses in English grammar. It explains that conditionals have two parts, the if clause and the main clause. It then defines the three types of conditionals: 1) real or possible situations where the if clause is in the present and main clause is in the future, 2) unreal or hypothetical situations where the if clause is in the past and main clause uses "would", and 3) past conditionals referring to hypothetical past situations where the if clause is in past perfect and main clause uses "would have". Examples are provided to illustrate the tense patterns for each type of conditional.
These maps really help illustrate the suprise factor of the credit crunch.. little of the previous patterns would prepare the UK investor for what was about to come. The flows show that investors did not recognise the risks inherent in 2006-2008. This is because conventional fund metrics were at best outputs not guides..!
