1. The Pre-course Assignment of International Finance Group members Magdy A.Sattar Abd El-Hameed Mohamed Yasser Kortam
Group Objectives To analysis the three cases. To recommend what implementations should have been done in order to avoid the collapse of BARING BANK. To create either a futures, an option of a swap linked with weather for ENRON WEATHER DRIVATIVES. To answer the questions at the end of the VIVENDI & SEAGRAM case and to find what has been happening lately for Vivendi Universal.
Presentation Elements The BARING BANK case presentation The ENRON WEATHER derivatives case presentation. The VIVENDI & SEGRAM case presentation.
First Case The Collapse of Baring Group.
First Case Elements BaringGroup presentation.. Current situation & key names. Case summary. Account 88888.
First Case Elements Identified facts & indicators. How did Leeson deceive everyone? Conclusions & reasons. Recommendations.
1-Baring Group Presentation The Baring Group was undergoing an organizational restructuring, creating the Baring Investment Bank Group (BIB), to be an integrating structure to conduct both the banking and the securities business of the Group. The group functioned on a matrix management structure. They were selling and buying money, money value is their core business.
2- Current Situation & Key Names Baring Futures (Singapore) BFS, Sep. 1986. Baring Securities Limited "BSL". Singapore International Monetary Exchange Ltd (SIMEX). BFS start trading on SIMEX July 1992.
2- Current Situation & Key Names Mr. Lesson joined BSL in 1989 in the settlement department. In April 1992 Mr. Leeson was posted by BSL to BFS to establish the settlement operations of BFS. It was decided that Mr. Leeson would also be involved in trading at BFS, as its floor manager at SIMEX.
2- Current Situation & Key Names Mr. Leeson was reporting to a local manager in BFS, and to his product manager in London. "ALCO" the high-level Asset & Liability Committee that monitor the Baring Group's risk positions, trading limits, trading performance, and the allocation of funding. Mr. Norris the CEO of the Group.
3- Case Summary The senior managers of BG did not take firm actions to address the problem? The matrix management structure of BFS did not work in practice. In 1994 the Group Treasury proposed a regional Treasurer to coordinate and resolve the funding problems, Mr. Norris, resisted this on the ground of cost?
3- Case Summary October 1994 the internal auditor highlighted a significant risk, that Mr. Leeson could override internal controls. January 1995 two letters send by SIMEX questioned BFS to meet its financial obligations. BFS answer on Feb. 10, 1995 that the entire assets of the Group were available to enable BFS to meet its financial obligations.
3- Case Summary This letter singed by Mr. Hawes (Group Treasurer), and approved by ALCO? In 1994 Dec. the external auditors discovered a discrepancy of (70m $). When reported to London Mr. Norris downplayed the significance of the matter, and discouraged all independent investigations?
3- Case Summary Mr. Norris took no action against Mr. Leeson, and instead allowed him to increase the size of the positions he managed? One week before the collapse a supervisor with BSL discover a discrepancy of 128m $, on Feb.17 1995. Between Feb. 17 1995 and Feb. 23 (the night Mr. Leeson Fled Singapore) BSL remitted to BFS a sum of over 300m $.
4- Account 88888 The transactions were distinguished by: The large size of positions. Not hedged by matching positions. Consistently reflected losses. Cumulative losses, Sep. 1992 (6m $). Cumulative losses, Oct. 1993 (8m $). Cumulative losses, Dec. 1994 (24m $). By the collapse Feb. 1995 losses are, (1.2 billion $)
5-Identified Facts & Indicators Mr. Leeson was a 25-year old settlements' officer with no experience when he first came to Singapore. Mr. Leeson opened account 88888 and booked large volume of transactions in it (July 1992). Mr. Leeson innovated a series of measures to conceal the true nature of the account from the external auditors and his superiors.
5-Identified Facts & Indicators The net effect of these transactions was to artificially inflate the Baring Group's reported profits which were attributed to his performance. Information related to account 88888 and the margin calls on the account was available in London at all times. In spite of the growing discrepancy between the funds remitted to BFS and the transactions in respect to which the funds had been requested, other Baring Group companies continued to remit funds to BFS.
6- How did Leeson Deceive Everyone? Break down the total number of cross-trade contracts into several different trader at prices different to those transacted on the floor, but still reconciling to the total originally traded. Entry of fictitious trades which were never crossed on the floor of the exchange. These abovementioned actions were necessary to the create the deception that the reported profitability in the switching accounts was a result of authorized arbitrage activity.
7- Conclusions & Reasons This is classical case of lack of control and poor financial management. Barings collapsed because it could not meet the enormous trading obligations, which Leeson established in the name of the bank. Barings had outstanding notional futures positions on Japanese equities and interest rates of US$ 27 billion.
8- Recommendations The collapse could have been avoided if: The group had questioned the integrity and competence of Mr. Leeson having twice made false statements that there were no unsatisfied judgment debts against him. The group has thoroughly and promptly investigate the growing difficulty in recording Mr. Leesons funding request. Steps had been taken to overcome the inability of Group Treasury and BSL settlements since 1994.
8- Recommendations The significant risk highlighted by the internal auditors had been addressed. Initiatives such as the Asian Regional Treasurer or the middle office person had been effectively implemented. ALCO had taken Me. Leeson to task for increasing his positions, despite it's instructions, that he should reduce it.
8- Recommendations The external auditor discovery of discrepancy had been fully investigated and resolved. The reasons behind the requests for very large amounts of funds by Mr. Leeson, in January and February 1995, had been analyzed and understood. ALCO had understood and effectively addressed the concerns expressed by SIMEX in its letters to BFS.
Second Case The ENRON Weather Derivatives Case.
Second Case Elements Firm presentation. Current situation. Measuring Weather Risk. Motives and instruments for hedging weather risk.
Second Case Elements Structures of Weather protection products. The Market for weather protection. A swap Contract Elements. Conclusions & Recommendations.
1-Firm Presentation Pacific Northwest Electric (PNW) is a significant producer of electric power It covers the Pacific Northwest region of USA Marry Watts, the chief financial office of PNW
1-Firm Presentation Company revenue affected by winter temp the colder the season the greater the revenue. Enron Corporation is the world's leading integrated natural gas and electricity company The Co. delivers Physical commodities, risk management and financial services to provide energy solutions to customers around the world
2- Current Situation Marry Watt is reviewing the financial plan for PNW 2000 – 2001 for winter season, PNW revenue in 1999 $11 Billion, net income $800 million and Earning per share (EPS) was $1.04 Last few years weather was warmer than average which resulted adverse financial results for PNW
2- Current Situation The firm reported no EPS growth from 1995 ($1.03) to 1999 ($1.04) which affected its stock price. The weather advisors predicting another warm winter Securities analysts were reluctant to advocate holing PNW share. Its debt rating had slipped from A-to BBB+
3- Measuring Weather Risk The utility industry measured weather conditions in term of heating or cooling degree-days (HDD, CDD) Degree-days were determined by the deviation of the average daily temp. 65 Fahrenheit Weather conditions for a particular season were stated in terms of degree-days accumulated across the entire period.
4- Motives and instruments for hedging weather risk Smooth revenuesOr compensate for loss of demand through insurance Cover excess costsThrough hedging against it Reimburse loss opportunity costsInsurance against stock outs due to high demands
4- Motives and instruments for hedging weather risk Stimulate sales By using weather derivatives to back up their " money back guarantee" of consumer satisfaction Diversify investment portfolios Exploit the low correlation between returns associated with weather and returns from other financial instruments. Weather derivatives could potentially reduce risk, and/or increase return in a portfolio
5- Structures of Weather protection products A floor Provide the customer with compensation if the underlying weather variable such as degree-days falls below the established threshold. The upside opportunity remains unconstrained. A ceiling cap Provide the customer with compensation if the underlying weather variable such as degree-days goes above the established threshold
5- Structures of Weather protection products A collarIs a two-part transaction in which a customer buys a cap or a floor to provide financial protection against adverse weather conditions, and simultaneously sells a floor or a cap at a different strike price that limits its financial upside if weather is favorable. The second par (the sale) helps to finance the first part (the purchase of the insurance)
5- Structures of Weather protection products A swapAllows the customer to generate a fixed revenue stream. If actual degree days were less (grater) than the threshold, the utility receives a payment equal to the degree day differential times an agreed upon price per degree day ($/dd) if actual degree-days were greater (less) than the threshold, the utility pays the seller. A swap was generally similar to the collar in its economic effect except that it offered a single trigger level, whereas the collar offered two.
5- Structures of Weather protection products Futures contractsCan be purchased on the Chicago mercantile exchange and were introduced for trading in 1999. A futures contract is a legal agreement to deliver or accept a commodity at a specified time and an agreed price, the CME contracts are specially designed around temperature variation. Variation in temperature above or below the value lead to a daily cash settlement between the buyer and the seller. Option on futures contractThe CME also permitted trading in options on Futures
6-The Market of weather protection InsuranceThe insurance industry provided weather related protection typically for catastrophic events such as hurricanes, flood and tornados. Capital and commodities marketsIn 1997 Enron had organized contracts in weather protection that were relatively liquid securities and dealt with standard variation in weather. In 1999 the CME began trading in weather futures and options, which also were standardized contracts. The rise of this market as a second source for weather protection reflected the growing trend of securitization of assets through capital market
7- Swap contract for PNWReasons for Swap not Futures Futures contract usually done to hedge Price risk PNW needs to hedge volume risk against the lack of demands due to HDD in winter
8- Conclusions & Recommendations A swap Contract Elements Option type, HDD weather Swap Payment, For both sides after the floating amount for the determination period is determined The seller, Enron The Buyer, PNW
7- Conclusions & Recommendations Reference degree, 65 Fahrenheit The average temperature is less than 65 PNW pays Enron amount of ??/days- degree The average temperature is greater than 65 Enron pays PNW amount of ??/days- degree
Third Case The Merger of VINENDI & SEAGRAM
Third Case Elements Vivendy Presentation. Seagram Presentation. Reasons for Failure. What Was Kept/Sold of Seagram by Vivendi? What is Happening Today ?

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
02 Aug 2004 19:49 GMT
Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge raised the threat level to "high" in portions of Washington and New York on Sunday after reports that the bin Ladin network planned to use truck or car bombs against financial targets, including New York-based Citigroup and Prudential Financial buildings in northern New Jersey.
Speaking on US television early on Monday Ridge said, without giving a specific time or date for the possible attacks, he would rate the quality of the information, which came from multiple, highly-reliable sources, a "10."
"Across the board, everyone that has reviewed the sources has concluded that it is as reliable a group of sources as we have ever seen before," Ridge told NBC's Today Show programme.
Ridge claimed the threat wassophisticated and complex
As a precaution, authorities closed New York's Holland Tunnel to commercial traffic heading into the city beginning on Monday. The tunnel links an area of Manhattan (where several of the financial institutions are located) to New Jersey.
In Newark, New Jersey, police set up metal fences around the headquarters of Prudential Financial, blocked off two streets and armed themselves with assault rifles.
Ridge announced on Sunday the threat level was being raised to Code Orange, or "high", from Code Yellow, or "elevated" in the financial services districts of New York, Washington and the northern part of New Jersey. The rest of the United States remains at an "elevated" threat level.
Police will increase checks on large vehicles entering downtown Washington, and bomb-sniffing dogs will check the area around the buildings, Police Chief Charles Ramsey said.
Washington police also increased security at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, one of the sites where US currency is printed, as well as the Federal Reserve headquarters.
"Across the board, everyone that has reviewed the sources has concluded that it is as reliable a group of sources as we have ever seen before"Tom Ridge,secretary, homeland security, USAAn intelligence official told reporters the information being gathered included details on escape routes, security cameras, the best place to park vehicles with explosives, pedestrian and traffic patterns, and even the degree of garage ramp inclines.
"Across the board, everyone that has reviewed the sources has concluded that it is as reliable a group of sources as we have ever seen before"Tom Ridge,secretary, homeland security, USA
Police warned building managers and corporate security personnel to watch for vehicles that could be rigged with explosives and for chemical agents placed in ventilation systems.
Ridge told NBC television on Monday the elaborate plot demonstrated "the sophistication, degree of complexity and resolve that our enemies have."
The alert increase resulted from a series of events that began with the capture of an al-Qaida computer engineer in Pakistan in mid-July, the New York Times reported on Monday.
Pakistani officials arrested Muhammad Naaim Nur Khan, a 25-year-old computer engineer, on 13 July, according to the Times. The suspect is believed to have used and managed an al-Qaida communications system where information was transferred via coded messages, according to the Times.

text: Hang On - Greg Hurley / Dave Friend see description by The Musical Crucible published on 2013/04/02 02:37:45 +0000 This one was fun - I asked Greg if he was up to doing a Jimi Hendrix style song and he said Hendix was a huge influence on him and that he had all of Hendrix's albums on vinyl. So I did a bed track that was kind of in the realm of Stone Free and Fire and sent it off to Greg. He did the vocals and slide solo at the end; I tried a few solos in the first solo spot but wasn't really happy with any of them. So I took one of the takes and reversed it and I thought - hey this sounds something like what you'd hear in Are You Experienced, so I tweaked it a bit so it fit the track a bit better and that's what you hear in the first solo spot. Greg and I bounced some ideas around for the intro and "You Got Me Floatin'" was what we used as a guide for what would sound cool. Finally as we got down to the short strokes on the mix, we used Spanish Castle Magic as the guide for vocal tone and overall mix balance. If you have never heard of any of the previously mentioned Jimi Hendrix tracks, I urge you to hunt them down and give them a listen - they are really where heavy rock originated and Jimi continues to inspire folks like Greg and I to this day. Comment by The Musical Crucible @beth-sparks-1: SO great to hear from you Beth - I don't think I have your email so I'm going to send you a private message through Soundcloud. Hope all is well!! 2015/02/09 04:37:04 +0000 Comment by Beth Sparks 1 This brings me back to the day! luv it Dave! 2015/02/08 19:37:18 +0000 Comment by The Musical Crucible @greg-cummins: This was one of the most successful collabs that I've done with Greg Hurley.

Chikungunya downs 78 in Albay town
MANILA, Philippines – Health officials are monitoring the rise in chikungunya cases, a dengue-like sickness, in Batan Island, Rapu-rapu, Albay.
Authorities said at least 78 cases of the disease have been reported in the area since July, particularly from Barangay San Ramon.
Health officials from Albay's provincial health office conducted fogging and space spraying at the barangay on Monday to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes, believed to be the source of the disease.
They will also conduct tests based on samples that were collected from waterways.
One of the reasons for the upsurge in chikunguya cases is stagnant water from canals, which become breeding ground of mosquitoes.
Several waterways were also sprayed with insecticides.
Symptoms of chikungunya include fever, severe joint pain, fatigue, nausea, headache and rashes. -- Report from Thea Omelan, ABS-CBN News Bicol

ABB announced that the first vessel to feature Onboard DC (direct current) Grid has been delivered to Norwegian offshore owner Myklebusthaug Offshore by Kleven Yard.
The Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) "Dina Star," designed by Norwegian company Marin Teknikk, is 93 meter long with deadweight tonnage (DWT) approximately 5000 ton and will serve as a multipurpose oil field supply and construction vessel in the North Sea. ABB supplied the Onboard DC Grid system, including all power, propulsion, automation and advisory systems. ABB said the system will allow the ship to operate at the highest energy efficiency level to minimize emissions.
In traditional electrical propulsion vessels, multiple DC connections are made to thrusters and propulsion drives from an alternating current (AC) circuit, accounting for more than 80% of electrical power consumption. ABB's Onboard DC Grid represents a breakthrough for the maritime industry in optimized propulsion by distributing power through a single DC circuit providing significant power savings.
ABB unveiled the Onboard DC Grid concept in mid-2011, with a pilot project contract following six months later. The concept has attracted high levels of interest from ship owners operating a wide range of ship types, namely offshore, tugs, jack ups, ferries and yachts. For the time being the DC Grid is available in low voltage with an installed power up to approximately 20 megawatt. By distributing electricity in DC, the system allows the operation of the generators at a variable speed and consequently at the optimal specific fuel consumption. This is particularly beneficial for offshore vessels operating in Dynamic Positioning (DP) mode, where average power demand is low.
The DC Grid configuration also means bulky AC switchboards and propulsion transformers are no longer required. This, combined with greater system lay-out flexibility, increases the available space and deadweight for cargo.
Green Marine has signed a nine-month contract with Transport Canada to provide insight on underwater noise generated by shipping and its effects on marine life, along with potential solutions.

This is a short list of terms that I have come to treat as terms of art in thinking about cultural evolution. I have no idea how stable these terms and definition will prove to be. I am posting them to a page at New Savanna so that they can be readily referenced. Most of these terms are relatively recent, but my thinking about cultural evolution is broadly scattered aross many posts and working papers and a handfull of formal articles).
Coordinator: The genetic element in cultural processes. Coordinators are physical traits of objects or processes. The emic/etic distinction in linguistics is a useful reference point. Phonetics is the study of language sounds. Phonemics is the study of those sound features, phonemes, that are active in a language.
The notion of a coordinator is, in effect, a generalization of the phoneme. A coordinator is a physical trait that is psychologically active/salient in cultural processes.
If you want to think in terms of computation, observe that computers, both abstract and real, operate on data. Some bits of data are special in that they directly influence processing by supplying the values of operating parameters. Coordinators are data of that type. Coordinators supply the values to parameters of mental "software."
Note that coordinators are not, in this sense, Dawkinsian replicators. Nor is it obvious to me that they form lineages. Finally, where the genetic material of biology exists everywhere in the same substrate – DNA molecules – coordinators can exist on any publically accessible substrate, with most of them being either visible or audible.
Coupler: A kind of coordinator through which the temporal activities of two or more nervous systems are synchronized. When soldiers march in step the rate and length of their strides couple their motions together into a coherent ensemble. The conventions of the blues, or of a particular raga, are more complex couplers. Conversational turn taking is a coupling function too.
Cover (paint): Objects, artifacts, actions and processes, that is, actors in the mesh, are said to be covered or to be painted with coordinators.
Cultural Being: A package or envelope of coordinators along with its trajectory in the minds of all who use it. As such, cultural beings are the object on which cultural selection operates. They are thus the phenotypic entities of culture. If participating in a cultural being was pleasant, then one would be motivated to do so again. Otherwise not.
The consequences of this definition are not obvious and will require careful consideration. I'll give an example from music to give a sense of what I've got in mind. Continue reading

Jon Cryer and wife Lisa Joyner have reportedly adopted a baby girl.
According to People, the "Two and a Half Men" star, 44, and his wife, 42, welcomed, Daisy, who was born on August 11, to the family.
The baby girl is the couple's first child together. The Emmy winner has a son, Charlie, 9, from a previous marriage. The couple wed in June 2007.
The actor nabbed his first Emmy earlier this month for this work on his popular CBS sitcom and joked about the joy of winning, saying, "You know, I used to think that awards were just shallow tokens of momentary popularity. But now, I realize they are the only true measure of a person's real worth as a human being."
After losing to Jon, Emmy host Neil Patrick Harris stopped the ceremony to throw a few barbs at Jon who was backstage with reporters, but Jon told Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell that he didn't fear his fellow CBS star.
"I am not afraid of Neil Patrick Harris, clearly, I vanquished Neil Patrick Harris," Jon joked, adding, "He will have plenty of these, trust me. Just let me get one! You'll have plenty of them down the line."
