|Hold my watch, because if it breaks I'll kill everyone on this train.
|~ Tom Ripley in Ripley's Game
Thomas "Tom" Ripley is the protagonist villain of Patricia Highsmith's crime novel series Ripliad as well as in its several movie adaptations.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Thomas "Tom" Ripley was orphaned at the age of five when his parents drowned in Boston Harbor. He was raised by his cold-hearted aunt Dottie, who mocked him as a "sissy". He tried to run away many times until the age of 20, when he moved to New York City. There, he lives a hand-to-mouth existence as a small-time con artist. He manages to get by on his three talents: "forging signatures, telling lies, and impersonating practically anybody".
Tom Ripley is described as "suave, agreeable and utterly amoral". While he is charismatic, polite and friendly, he has no conscience and is willing to do anything - even commit murder - to get what he wants. He is deeply insecure and envies people who have the money and status he craves. He also covets their identities, as he believes it is "better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody".
It is also implied throughout the series that he may be gay or bisexual; he harbors strong, quasi-romantic feelings for several male characters, and, while he is married to a woman in later books, they have a nonexistent sex life and he seems to regard her as more of a possession than a spouse.
The Talented Mr. Ripley
Tom is approached by wealthy shipbuilder Herbert Greenleaf, who thinks that Tom was a college classmate of his son, Dickie. He offers Tom $1,000 to go to Mongibello, Italy, where Dickie lives, and bring him back to the U.S. to join the family business. Tom accepts, even though he has never actually met Dickie. In Mongibello, Tom befriends Dickie and his girlfriend Marge, and insinuates himself into their lives. He falls in love with Dickie's opulent, carefree life; he also becomes obsessed with Dickie himself.
Eventually, Dickie grows tired of Tom and spurns his friendship. Not wanting to go back to his life of poverty, Tom gets the idea to kill Dickie and steal his identity. He murders Dickie on a rowboat by beating his head in with an oar, and disposes of the body. He then forges his name on Dickie's passport and uses it to access Dickie's trust fund and live the good life. He also copies Dickie's dress, hairstyle and mannerisms; he becomes Dickie, to the point that he is better at being the other man than being himself.
When Dickie's friend Freddie Miles catches Tom in the act of impersonating Dickie, Tom kills him, and goes on the run from the police, switching identities as needed. He forges Dickie's will, leaving himself Dickie's inheritance, and writes a suicide note in which "Dickie" confesses to killing Freddie; Herbert Greenleaf and the police are thus convionced that Dickie killed Freddie and committed suicide. Tom goes to Greece to enjoy his newfound wealth, but reflects that he will pay for it with a lifetime of paranoia, as he would "see police waiting for him at every pier he ever approached".
Differences between novel and films
The various film adaptations of the novel have made changes to the story and, thus, the character. In Purple Noon, Rene Clement's 1960 film adaptation, Tom and Dickie (here named Phillipe) are old friends, although Phillipe treats Tom with contempt. Tom decides to murder Phillipe after Phillipe plays a cruel prank on him, setting him adrift on his yacht's lifeboat for hours. After killing Phillipe, Tom throws the body overboard; unbeknownst to him, however, the body gets tangled up in the boat's propeller. In the film's final scene, Phillipe's corpse washes ashore, and it is implied that Tom will be caught.
In Anthony Minghella's 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley, Tom meets a young heiress named Meredith Logue (who does not appear in the novel) while traveling to Italy and introduces himself as Dickie Greenleaf. After Tom murders Dickie and steals his identity, Meredith appears at several inopportune times, when he is with people who know him as Tom Ripley. At the end of the film, Tom runs into Meredith again on an ocean cruise after Dickie has been declared dead; as Dickie, he convinces her that he is in protective custody and will be given a new identity.
The film also creates another character, Peter Smith-Kingsley, one of Dickie's wealthy acquiantances who takes a liking to Tom. By the end of the film, it is implied that he and Tom are lovers. However, Peter sees him kissing Meredith and demands to know what is going on. Tom realizes that, since Peter and Meredith know each other and will eventually discover the ruse, he will have to kill Peter; he cannot kill Meredith because she is traveling with her family and would be missed. Realizing that he will always be alone, a sobbing Ripley strangles Peter and returns to his cabin.
Ripley Under Ground
Six years after killing Dickie, Tom is living a life of leisure at a country estate, Belle Ombre, in Villeperce, France. He still lives off Dickie's trust fund, but has added to his fortunes by marrying a wealthy socialite named Heloise Plisson and becoming a silent partner in a gallery that sells forged paintings, purportedly by a long-dead artist named Derwatt. He also does occasional work for small-time gangster Reeves Minot, but avoids direct involvement in crime as much as possible to preserve his somewhat shady reputation.
He runs into trouble when an art collector named Thomas Murchison contacts him with suspicions that his Derwatt paintings are fake. He tries to bribe Murchison, but Murchison refuses and threatens to go to the police. Tom kills him by hitting him over the head with a bottle of wine, and disposes of the body in a river near his house.
His problems are not over, however: Bernard Tufts, the artist who forges the paintings for Tom's company, suffers a crisis of conscience and says he will turn himself in and expose the fraud. Tom impersonates Derwatt at a gallery opening to allay suspicion. When Bernard sees him, he has a breakdown and believes that Derwatt has come back from the dead to punish him; frightened and consumed with guilt, he commits suicide. Tom is briefly afraid that he has been caught, but the police investigation leaves him in the clear.
Ripley's Game
Tom is insulted at a party by a neighbor, Jonathan Trevanny, a poor picture framer who has leukemia. To get back at him, Tom spreads a rumor that Jonathan's leukemia has gotten worse, and tells Minot that Jonathan is a hitman who can help him dispose of a rival gangster. When Minot approaches Jonathan with the job, he refuses, but reconsiders when he hears the rumors about his health. When he receives news (supplied by Tom) that he has only a few months to live, he becomes Minot's freelance assassin in order to provide for his wife and son after he is gone. Tom is fascinated by the situation, and decides to intervene in one of Jonathan's assassinations, ultimately saving his life by helping him kill a gangster and several of his bodyguards.
When the Mafia comes after both of them, Tom and Jonathan hole up in Belle Ombre, sending Heloise and Tom's housekeeper, Madame Annette, away on vacation to keep them safe. They kill several Mafiosi, but Jonathan is mortally wounded while pushing Tom out of the way of their gunfire. Touched and puzzled by Jonathan's sacrifice, Tom leaves his wife and son the money Jonathan had earned as a hired killer.
The Boy Who Followed Ripley
Tom befriends Frank Pierson, a teenage boy from a wealthy family who has run away from home. When Tom finds out that Frank murdered his own father, Tom feels a kinship with him and takes him in to live at Belle Ombre. Eventually, however, Frank is kidnapped and taken to Berlin. Tom goes to Berlin and rescues Frank with Minot's help. He takes Frank back to his family, and tells him to forget about the murder and get on with his life. Later that day, however, Frank commits suicide by jumping off the same cliff he had pushed his father from. Tom is surprised to find that he is devastated by Frank's death.
Ripley Under Water
Tom's new neighbors, David and Janice Pritchard, hear of Tom's shady reputation and begin prying into his life, simply because they dislike him. When they find evidence incriminating him in several murders, Tom goes after them with the help of his business partner at the gallery, Ed Bradbury. Tom and Ed eventually get into a confrontation with the Pritchards that ends with the couple falling into a lake; Tom does nothing to help, allowing them to drown over Ed's half-hearted objections. Tom once again escapes capture by the police, and goes back to his life as if nothing has happened.

I would say that for DITA 2.0 we need to think pretty deeply about the architecture of maps as regards the relationship of one map to another map—things have been way underspecified and clearly reflect a particular processing model or environment that does not generalize well as currently specified.
We have at least the following facilities in DITA 1.3:
There's lots to think about here and clearly competing ideas about what the most appropriate technical solution is. I agree with Don that specific processing environments and tools have inappropriately influenced the design of these features. We need to try to undo that as much as we can.

HP iPaq 4150 Rumored Device
Pocket PC Italia has posted more news about rumored upcoming iPaq devices from HP. This time they have a picture of what is being dubbed the 4150. The look and feel of this iPaq is more like the 1900 series of devices but it includes features from the bulkier high end 5000 series iPaq devices. The iPaq 4150 is rumored to include:
– Wi-Fi 802.11b
– Bluetooth
– 1000mAh Lithium Ion battery that will be removable
– 3.5 " TFT display
– Intel XScale 400 MHz processor
– Windows Mobile 2003
– Bluetooth, Wi-Fi LED Indicators
– 113.6 x 70.6 x 13.55 mm dimensions (length x width x depth)
– SecureDigital expansion
This product makes sense for those that like small form factor but don't like to give up the features of the larger devices. You won't have the CompactFlash expansion capability for some accessories you might want, but in my opinion this is becoming somewhat less relevant as various types of accessories are being brought out in the SD Form factor and Wi-Fi & Bluetooth are already built into this device. This device is very similar in specs to what we believe the Dell Axim X3 will be. It will be interesting to see if this product does make it to market and what the price point is, my guess is it would retail for around $450, but they'll need to get it lower than that to compete with a new Axim of similar type specs.

In any case, symbology itself is now a science, and this volume is a necessary instrument in its study.Herbert Read

A memoir of overcoming pain, fear and doubt, and allowing faith to lead the way to a miraculous life.
You can only resist God's call for so long. Ask Moses, ask Paul… ask MaryAnne Connor.
As the owner of a successful real estate marketing firm, MaryAnne Connor appeared to have it all. A happy marriage, the respect of her peers and a thriving career.

"I chose each word in this book based on the countless hours I have spent with grieving people. Not only have they have shared with me the pain of loss but they have taught me about the daunting and sometimes mysterious journey of living."
—Andrea Raynor, The Alphabet of Grief
Chaplain and spiritual counselor Andrea Raynor knows that when the funeral service is over, the friends leave, and the house grows quiet, grief can be overwhelming. In The Alphabet of Grief, she uses the letters of the alphabet as starting points for simple reflections on loss and hope. Each chapter concludes with a meditation and an affirmation—something to do and something to believe.
You are not alone. Find spiritual companionship in these brief but powerful thoughts on the sacred journey of grief.
Author(s): Beth Moore
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Price: $1.99
Based on her bestselling book, Get Out of That Pit, Beth Moore delivers a stirring message of sheer hope, utter deliverance, and glorious freedom of God.
God is in the deliverance business. He longs for you to be free, to know the love and presence that are better than life—and the power of His Word that defies all darkness. In Delivered, Beth Moore shares her own journey out of the pit and the way the poetic expressions of Psalm 40 rewarded her with a new song for her soul—given by her Savior and offered to you here in this soul-stirring book. You also can be free from the worst life has to offer and learn to take Christ's mighty arm when he reaches into the depths and says in a way you can finally hear, Need a hand?

"It is utterly crucial that in our darkness we affirm the wise, strong hand of God to hold us, even when we have no strength to hold him."
John Piper
Even the most faithful, focused Christians can encounter periods of depression and spiritual darkness when joy seems to stay just out of reach. It can happen because of sin, satanic assault, distressing circumstances, or hereditary and other physical causes. In When the Darkness Will Not Lift, John Piper aims to give some comfort and guidance to those experiencing spiritual darkness.
Readers will gain insight into the physical side of depression and spiritual darkness, what it means to wait on the Lord in a time of darkness, how unconfessed sin can clog our joy, and how to minister to others who are living without light. Piper uses real-life examples and sensitive narrative to show readers abundant reason to hope that God will pull them out of the pit of despair and into the light once again.

Some may think the Puritans ruled and had no outward concern but nothing could be further from the truth. Many Puritans were chased and imprisoned by the government for preaching the gospel and this collection of discourses from John Owen shows how the Puritans prescribed standing in faith against those that would distort the truth and destroy those who loved the true gospel.

We normally take our gas from pockets and reservoirs that accumulate within the ground's rock structure as it is relatively easy to exploit.
But much of the world's gas is trapped as molecules within the hard rock itself and has been, up until now, hard and not economically viable to try and release. According to some the amount of gas trapped in this manner within the earth is enough to solve the Earth's energy problems for the next hundred years or so. It would, they say, also help us reduce carbon emissions as well as the by-products that we endure with oil.
Now though a new form of mining, 'hydraulic fracturing' (fracking), has allowed us to get at this huge reserve of gas in a way that makes financial sense.
This method involves drilling thousands of feet into shale and then pumping a mix of chemicals into it which, when pressurised, creates fissures in the rock through which the gas molecules run into the well then up to the surface.
This procedure has been so successful in the USA with 35,000 such wells that there is now a world-wide gas rush in progress.
Now that a potentially huge field of this gas has been found in Blackpool, Lancashire the first true fracking shale gas well in Europe will be established there.
But there are many reservations over this procedure with concerns over the chemical cocktail being used finding its way into the water table and spreading pollution far and wide. Film maker Josh Fox made a film called 'GASLAND'.
The website can be found HERE. According to the description on the site chemicals like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene are used. Water is also used in vast quantities, 1-8 million tons per procedure.
Its proponents though say that these fears are overblown and it is a safe and well-proven procedure.
But before we just leap in on the promise of cheap energy, let's prove it safe and / or make it safe then use it. We do the energy in the end.

MORE THAN 150,000 school-age children bring a gun to school each day.
One in six kids between 10 and 17 has seen or knows someone who has been shot. Every 10 seconds a crime occurs in an American school. These statistics are from the Children's Defense Fund.
The causes of violence are very complex. No one cause can be pin-pointed. Therefore, no one particular prevention method will solve the problems. However, there are specific factors that are linked to violence and strategies to reduce its impact.
Violence has invaded much of the media. Children and adolescents are exposed to it daily. According to the American Psychological Association, the average child has watched 8,000 televised murders and 100,000 violent acts before finishing elementary school.
Television, music, newspapers, video games, and the Internet glorify enraged, violent behavior. There are many beneficial alternatives, such as reading, engaging in after-school activities, and performing community service. More laws should also be enacted to keep violence in the media at a minimum,. Preferably, it should be abolished.
Another cause of violence is a lack of belonging and attachment.
People need someone to simply listen to them with genuine care and respect. This can allow the young person to "blow off steam," which diminishes anger.
Of 300 young perpetrators of violence, researcher Malcolm Smith found that 250 had lost a parent through death, divorce or having been sent to foster care. Others had parents who, while in the home, were unavailable because of addictions or work responsibilities.
Everyone needs a sense of belonging and attachment, and children should get this from their families and friends. Children and adolescents will try to attach to anyone, but their misbehavior is a test to determine whether the person will still love them.
Parents need to love and listen to the child, regardless of his or her fearful and angry behavior. Parents must devote their time to children, even doing something as simple as eating together, reading aloud, playing a game of basketball, and having a discussion. While many adolescents will resist this, parents should continue to be creative in communicating.
Many children and adolescents are surrounded by adults who solve problems through violence. These children mav also be victims of child abuse. They see adults engaged in domestic violence, road rage and other harmful expressions of anger.
We must model healthy expressions of our emotions to set an example from which children can learn. Family and community attitudes toward violence and anger will have a major impact on the child's view.
However, it is ultimately the choice of the child how to deal with his or her emotions. Those in authority should teach the child to think before reacting and use words to solve a problem, not fists or guns. This helps the young person to make a change in dealing with his or her feelings.
"If I've learned anything from Cassie's short life," says the mother of Cassie Bernall, who was killed in the shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., last year, "it is that no adolescent, however rebellious, is doomed by fate.
"I am sure that there must be a way to reach even the most alienated, hostile teen before it is too late. With warmth, self-sacrifice and honesty, with the love that ultimately comes from God - every child can be guided and saved. At least I will never give up that hope."
We have great opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young people. We can help young people find alternatives to violent media, or simply listen to them and give them a good example to follow. I hope that we will all seize the chance and make the most of it.

1. It is an ideal solution for that unbearable jaw joint pain and muscle pains. It can be used at day time, even during eating and talking.
2. Instead of night guards, you wear a small tailor made invisible device in your ears, like earbuds, without affecting your hearing.
3. It is a better alternative solution to the traditional night guards for pain with jaw joints which can spreads to the muscles of the face, neck , head and even shoulders. Many people have experienced this for themself.
4. It works by reducing or completely stopping the involuntary movement of the jaw and muscles that takes place when grinding or clenching the teeth. So you can wear and use it during the voluntary movements such as eating and talking.
5. Cost can be as low as about £12 per month with 0% finance over 36 months.
The Cerezen device is an innovative, custom-made ear device that relieves the pain and symptoms of Temporo Mandibular Joint Disorders (TMJD) resulting from bruxism (grinding teeth in sleep) or clenching with significant efficacy. Patients in a study reported very high levels of satisfaction, with 71% indicating excellent result and pain relief with the device.
Cerezen is very simple, easy to use and much more tolerable than the alternative devices like night time splints (night guards). A small device that fits into the ears, simply like ear plugs, and can be worn all the time day and night. This even helps those that grind and clench their teeth during the day time and cannot wear a splint during the day. The aim of the device is to stop grinding and clenching.
As always the best treatment; on this occasion a visit to hygienist followed by dental check up. I have been going to Dr. Clarke since 1977 as he takes the greatest care of his dental patients. The work he has done has always been of the highest standard possible and he always offers intelligent solutions. Since moving to Wales I still return to Bayswater for my dental treatment. I did have to have emergency treatment in Wales and the dentist was highly respectful of the work done by Dr Clarke. In fact I think he was in awe!
Can't speak highly enough!
Had my wisdom tooth out, was the quickest and least painful dental procedure ever. Melanie and the dental assistant were so patient. Constantly letting me know exactly what was going on and checking that I couldn't feel anything. Would recommend everybody to use this dentist practice!
Great customer service and well-experienced dental surgeons. I was able to book a Saturday appointment after feeling a large bump on my gum on Monday. There was a longer-than usual wait time the day of the appointment and the receptionist was very accommodating and agreed to call me once the doctor was done. I live very close so went home for 15 minutes, hung my laundry, and got the call to come back.
It turned out I needed a tooth extraction as my last wisdom tooth was starting to break through. The dentist assured me he was a specialist in tooth extractions, and he is! Even the needle full of numbing agent was so fast I could barely feel it. The entire process, from me getting into the chair to them finishing the procedure (including taking x-rays) only took 45 minutes—the epitome of quick and painless at the dentist! They were also very accommodating and provided me OTC anti-inflammatory pills to save me a trip to Boots. I required no antibiotics, healed well, and my stitches fell out on schedule after 10 days. Highly recommend Bayswater Dental. :)
Owing to an upbringing in Scotland many years ago (pre Fluoride) and years of travelling as well as an injury to my jaw from a climbing accident, I have had to see well over 20 dentists in the course of my life. I have experience of dentists in several countries and work has included implants as well as other quite complex work. When I visited Dr Vahid at Bayswater, he drew up a comprehensive plan, which included some cosmetic work as I wanted to look my best for my marriage a few months ago. Not only did he explain every stage of the plan but he listened carefully to what I wanted or thought I wanted and adapted accordingly. His cosmetic work was superb and the other work that he did on dentistry that was failing was the best I have ever experienced. He has an engineering background as well as being a very experienced dentist; moreover, he explains extremely well and clearly works to the highest standard. The support staff are also very welcoming and helpful. I would recommend Dr Vahid as highly as possible.

The employer may initially appoint a person who is currently competent and who has appropriate periods of practical firefighting employment experience in a recognised career firefighting agency. The appointment and advancement of these persons, up to and including the level of Leading Firefighter [classification 3(e)], is to occur depending on the level of competency and experience in each individual case. In all cases the Tasmania Fire Service must consult its employees regarding its intention to appoint Firefighters in accordance with this clause.

The psychological demands of firefighting can be very intense and firefighters perform duties that will sometimes involve highly stressful and dangerous situations. As this is the case, it is essential that you are free of any mental illness or psychological symptoms that would prevent you from being able to perform the duties of an operational firefighter.
As a starting point for you to consider for yourself, you may want to reflect on the factors or triggers that led to your psychological disorder and then consider your potential exposure to similar triggers whilst undertaking firefighting duties.
Firefighters from other jurisdictions are welcome to apply for the trainee firefighter development program.
On occassion, we can facilitate international exchanges.

Life as a trainee FAQs
The trainee recruit program is run from the Cambridge training complex in the south of the state. Those who need to travel will be provided accommodation at the Tasmania Police Academy in Rokeby during the week, for the duration of the 15-week course. If you choose to relocate you will do so at your own expense.
The Trainee Development Program runs for 15 weeks. During this period you will be trained to be a "truck-ready firefighter". You are on probation for the first six months of your employment commencing on the first day of the Program. You will graduate from the program as a firefighter, and much like an apprenticeship, you will work through assessments and paypoint progressions over the four years to become a Senior Firefighter.
The Trainee Firefighter Development Program is the beginning of career-long competency-based learning. During the course, Trainee Firefighters become competent in all facets of firefighting including the use of breathing apparatus, driving fire appliances, and fighting bush and structure fires. They are also trained in various rescue disciplines such as road crash rescue, hazardous materials incidents and first aid.
Qualified instructors assess each trainee's performance throughout the course. If for some reason a trainee is not performing to the required level, the instructors will provide mentoring and guidance.
Life as a firefighter FAQs
The operational needs of TFS will determine where you are stationed. We do our best to assign firefighter recruits to their preferred region but this is not always possible.
If you are assigned to the south or north, you will initially be stationed at Hobart and Launceston stations. If you are assigned to the North West, you will be stationed at Burnie or Devonport.
It is unlikely TFS will facilitate permanent transfers to other regions.
Most of our Firefighters work a roster of four shifts on (two days, two night), and then four off. Due to the operational requirements, the rostering does not currently accommodate part-time arrangements.
Shift swaps with firefighters on other shifts can be arranged. This is managed by agreement with all involved, and approved by the shift manager.
Accommodation areas on station are shared but everyone has the privacy of their own bedroom for resting on night shift.
Fire stations have unisex bathrooms and toilets with individual cubicles. Some career fire stations are also shared with Ambulance Tasmania who also use these facilities.
The role of a firefighter is diverse and challenging and requires personal qualities that are not related to gender.
As a firefighter you are required to do shift work. Once you reach the rank of Leading Firefighter and above, there are opportunities to move to day work positions.
Shift work does allow time for TFS employees to gain secondary or supplementary employment. It must not be in conflict with your role as an employee of TFS, and you must allow time to rest appropriately between shifts.
Tasmania Fire Service covers the cost of all items of uniform and personal protective equipment.
Firefighters are expected to maintain a high level of fitness, but there is currently no annual fitness test. Gym facilities are available at each career station, as well as health and wellbeing programs offered by the department.
Relocation costs are at the expense of the employee.
Firefighting is commonly considered to be a dangerous job, and it does come with some risk. TFS requires its people to be highly trained in safe work practices and contemporary firefighting methods to create the safest work environment possible.

Karl Cheong
Karl Cheong is an asset management executive and board director for First Trust Canada, a subsidiary of a privately owned global asset management firm with approximately $150 billion under management.
Launched in 1991, First Trust is headquartered in Illinois with global offices across the United States, Europe, Latin America, and Canada. As a trailblazer and a thought leader in the Canadian Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) industry, Karl joined First Trust in 2013 and currently helps to oversee its Canadian operations. He is the driving force behind the region's strategic direction, from product development, marketing, to service and sales delivery.
First Trust's initial line up of three products on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2013 has since expanded to over 20 as a result of the team's continued focus on growth and innovation. The most notable launches include Canada's first actively managed senior loan ETF, Canada's only U.S. sector funds, and most recently, Canada's only target outcome funds, which provide investors with exposure to the S&P 500 Index with a 10% downside buffer. In particular, the industry has recognized the First Trust AlphaDEXTM U.S. Technology Sector Index ETF in both 2018 and 2019 as the best sector ETF at the Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards and the First Trust AlphaDEXTM U.S. Financials Sector Index ETF as the Best Financial Services Fund by Fundata.
Karl leads his team with a deep-rooted commitment to partnership and collaboration, serving as both player and coach of a team of investment professionals who deliver creative ETF solutions to investment advisors and portfolio managers. "I believe the most effective leaders lead by example. When challenges arise, I roll up my sleeves and get down in the weeds with the rest of my team, always with an eye on First Trust's mission—to offer investors a better way to invest," he shares.
After graduating from a top-tier Canadian university with a degree in finance and obtaining a CFA® designation, Karl was in search of a unique career path instead of following the traditional routes to investment banking and equity research. At that time, the Canadian ETF industry was in its infancy and was a relatively unknown space with only a handful of firms. "The uncharted territory of the Canadian ETF industry excited me. I saw a great opportunity and I wanted to be a part of it." With that in mind, he joined Claymore Investments in 2009 as the head of ETFs and structured product development, where he developed industry leading products for what was once the fastest-growing asset management firms in Canadian history. He jumped in with both feet—and put his mark on what is now mainstream industry.
"It's important for me to add value to the financial community in an impactful and memorable way," says Karl. He regularly shares market insights and analysis through guest appearances on BNN Bloomberg and articles on various financial news outlets including the Financial Post, Globe & Mail, Reuters, Morningstar, and Investment Executive. He was recently featured as an Industry Icon by Wealth Professional.
