"Environmental Finance provides a thorough, objective discussion of the environmental risk issues facing financial institutions and how to effectively manage both the challenges and opportunities they present. A very current, informative and comprehensive reference." –James R. Evans, Manager, Environmental Risk Management RBC Financial Group Today, environmentally irresponsible companies run the risk of hurting their bottom line as well as their image. As a result, environmental risk is reshaping the way insurance companies underwrite to corporate clients, banks lend, investors invest, and companies operate. Banks and insurance companies are also developing new environmental financial products to help their corporate customers protect their bottom line against changes in environmental legislation and the impact of adverse weather and climate change. Environmental Finance: A Guide to Environmental Risk Assessment and Financial Products is one of the first books to explore this emerging field. This comprehensive reference opens with a discussion of the concepts and tools used by financial institutions to develop environmental policies and products, and then details how recent changes in the financial services sector have affected the capacity of companies to respond to the environmental challenge. From here you’ll learn about innovative new products such as tradable pollution permits, weather derivatives, catastrophe bonds, and many other market-based solutions that are being created in response to every type of environmental problem–from hurricanes to asbestos. The financial and social consequences of environmental risk will continue to grow. Learn how to hedge these risks and come out on top with Environmental Finance as your guide.

Praise for Carbon Finance "A timely, objective, and informative analysis of the financial opportunities and challenges presented by climate change, including a thorough description of adaptive measures and insurance products for managing risk in a carbon constrained economy." —James R. Evans, M. Eng. P. Geo., Senior Manager, Environmental Risk Management, RBC Financial Group "Climate change will have enormous financial implications in the years to come. How businesses and investors respond to the risks and opportunities from this issue will have an enormous rippling effect in the global economy. Sonia Labatt and Rodney White's insights and thoughtful analysis should be read by all who want to successfully navigate this global business issue." —Andrea Moffat, Director, Corporate Programs, Ceres "In Carbon Finance, Labatt and White present a clear and accessible description of the climate change debate and the carbon market that is developing. Climate change is becoming an important factor for many financial sector participants. The authors illustrate how challenges and opportunities will arise within the carbon market for banking, insurance, and investment activities as well as for the regulated and energy sector of the economy." —Charles E. Kennedy, Director and Portfolio Manager, MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier Inc. "Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge of our generation. Its impact on the energy sector has implications for productivity and competitiveness. At the same time, environmental risk has emerged as a major challenge for corporations in the age of full disclosure. Carbon Finance explains how these disparate forces have spawned a range of financial products designed to help manage the inherent risk. It is necessary reading for corporate executives facing challenges that are unique in their business experience." —Skip Willis, Managing Director Canadian Operations, ICF International "In this timely publication, Labatt and White succeed in communicating the workings of carbon markets, providing simple examples and invaluable context to the new and changing mechanisms that underpin our transformation to a carbon-constrained world. Carbon Finance will be the definitive guide to this field for years to come." —Susan McGeachie, Director, Innovest Strategic Value Advisors, Graduate Faculty Member, University of Toronto; and Jane Ambachtsheer, Principal, Mercer Investment Consulting, Graduate Faculty Member, University of Toronto

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd
2013
sidottu
Science Sifting is designed primarily as a textbook for students interested in research and as a general reference book for existing career scientists. The aim of this book is to help budding scientists broaden their capacities to access and use information from diverse sources to the benefit of their research careers.The book describes why the capacity to access and integrate both linear and nonlinear information has been an important historic feature of pivotal scientific breakthroughs. Yet, it is a process that our students are rarely, if ever, taught in universities. This book goes beyond simply describing the features of great scientific breakthroughs. It discusses the basis for accessing and using nonlinear information in the linear research context. It also provides a series of tools and exercises that can be used to enhance access to nonlinear information for application to research and other endeavors.Topics covered include focal points in scientific breakthroughs, the use of concepts maps in research, use of different vantage points, information as patterns, fractals for the scientist, memory storage and access points, and synchronicities. Young researchers need useful tools to help with a more holistic approach to their research careers. This book provides the useful tools to support flexibility and creativity across a long-term research career.Roald Hoffmann — Winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry — has contributed the to Science Sifting.

Covenants and Care

Covenants and Care

Rebecca Lee Brenneis; Gary L. Harbaugh; Rodney R. Hutton

Augsburg Fortress
1998
pokkari
Everyone in-or associated with-pastoral ministry knows of the heavy toll on pastors' personal and professional lives. Surveys commonly report time pressures, stress, overextension, loneliness and isolation, marital and family difficulties, spiritual dryness, and feelings of loss of meaning. Covenants and Care takes these hard realities into account as the authors, a team of experts in ministry and the Bible, offer skills for the long haul. They employ the Old Testament notion of covenant and ask ministers to enter a covenant both for their own self-care and as a key to framing and enlivening their care for others in ministry. True-to-life stories show how biblically-based covenantal relationships with clear boundaries promote healthy relationships, and how they are integral to faithful personal and pastoral care. The authors' sensible yet sensitive approach offers practical help for the minister's self-care while providing tools for meeting such challenges as conflict in the congregation, issues of sexual ethics, questions of power and conscience, and the dynamics of spirituality.

R.I.P. The Theory Of Evolution

R.I.P. The Theory Of Evolution

Rodney Hutcheon

Ark House Press
2024
pokkari
The theory of evolution has been around for over two and a half centuries now, and yet, the theory has still not found any significant scientific support. The current science is actually moving us further away from long-term evolution, and more towards a younger earth, and the Biblical narrative.Advances in space exploration, such as the James Webb telescope, are finding galaxies at the outer edges of the known universe, where there shouldn't be galaxies - spiral galaxies that should have wound up millions of years ago if the universe was actually that old - and uniform heat signatures across the known universe, which would not be possible if the universe started with a massive hot explosive force around 13.8 billion years ago.In addition, genetic research and tracing have also thrown up significant issues for a supposed long age of humanity on planet earth. There are also many other concerns that an evolutionary view of our past cannot answer.R.I.P. The Theory Of Evolution explores a range of topics that will demonstrate just how scientifically unsupported the theory of evolution actually is. Starting with the Big Bang Theory and working forward, this book will consider what we do know, and what this implies for our history.Take the time to research this topic yourself. You will be amazed to see how current scientific data is throwing new light on our "recent" past.

Steam in England: The Classic Colour Photography of R C Riley

Steam in England: The Classic Colour Photography of R C Riley

Rodney Lissenden

Ian Allan Publishing
2009
sidottu
R. C. ('Dick') Riley (1921-2006) was one of the country's foremost railway photographers; starting with mono just prior to World War 2, he moved over to colour in the early 1950s, when such film was both expensive and slow. Working in the banking industry gave him the opportunity to travel widely and, aided by his trackside pass and contacts within the railway industry, he was able to access locations and views from which many other photographers were excluded. From his early work through to the end of main line steam in 1968 he took countless thousands of transparencies; over the years a number have been published but there remain a significant number that have yet to see the light of day. This large landscape format book showcases over 200 colour images taken by Dick Riley between the early 1950s and 1968. Although he took a large number of photographs in the Southern and Western regions, the book will also include a significant number of illustrations on both the Eastern and London Midland regions.Dick Riley was also a prolific photographer of industrial railways, and the book includes a brief selection featuring these fascinating sites, as well as recording aspects of the day-to-day life of the railways such as signs and minutiae, which were largely ignored by other photographers.The text has been compiled by his close friend and executor Rodney Lissenden, who had access to Dick Riley's personal diaries for anecdotal tales relating to the images concerned.

Rodney James Alcala, an American serial killer whose true crime story will give you chills He was a killing machine... Throughout the late 1960's and 1970's, a man roamed the streets with a camera. While photography was a "hip "hobby to have at the time, this man was different from the rest. He asked young girls and women to pose for him, often nude, and a few of them he even molested and murdered.It all started with Tali Shapiro, an eight-year-old girl that was saved by a Good Samaritan who witnessed her climb into a vehicle driven by a man. The entire scene seemed off to the man, who called police shortly after he followed the vehicle to an apartment complex. By the time the police arrived on the scene, Tali Shapiro was almost dead, and Rodney Alcala had retreated out the back door. He was apprehended for the rape and torture of Tali Shapiro, but he was released on parole not long after he was convicted and imprisoned.His newfound freedom came at a cost to many women and children.Dubbed the Dating Game Killer because he was on an episode of the Dating Game show in 1978, Rodney Alcala's body count is still rising. He kept photographs of his victims, and police found over 1,700 in a storage locker Alcala had rented. Some of the pictures Alcala took have been released by NYPD (New York) and the HBPD (California) in hope to identify possible victims of this psychopath.This book is about the victims' investigators know about, and it gives a small insight into the life of one of the most vicious and active serial killers America has ever known.Many believe that Alcala may have killed over a 100 women and girls.Warning, information found in this book may be too graphic for some to handle.Scroll back up and grab your copy today

Why COLORING is so THERAPEUTIC: Coloring is a form of art therapy. Art therapy allows us to turn off our mind for a moment and tap into our hearts: -In psychological terms, art therapy allows us to give our conscience a moment to rest, granting our subconscious a chance to be more expressive of deeper thoughts, while becoming more receptive to incoming corrective suggestions, such as the ones found within these pages.-In spiritual terms, it can be said that art therapy allows The Creator to commune with us directly on a soul-level, without the normal blocking and filtering that may come as a natural byproduct of our human experience.-In neurological terms, art therapy allows us to use the right-side of our brain, which is responsible for creativity, emotional-interpretation, intuition and meaning; the left-side of our brain is more analytical and is responsible for logic, mathematical operations and language. Whenever we take a moment to be expressive in a lighthearted and carefree way, we release the hidden blockages / concealed hurts / cloudy tangles that exist within all of us. Just as importantly, we must also remain mindful that when this releasing happens, we become very susceptible to innuendos, to injunctions, and to ideas -- no matter how true, helpful, necessary or kind these suggestions might be. Therefore, it is exceptionally important that we refresh ourselves with empowering concepts that will shape the mentality we desire to have moving forward.This booklet is especially designed to do this.

sidottu
Probability and statistics courses are more popular than ever. Regardless of your major or your profession, you will most likely use concepts from probability and statistics often in your career. The primary goal behind this book is offering the flexibility for instructors to build most undergraduate courses upon it. This book is designed for either a one-semester course in either introductory probability and statistics (not calculus-based) and/or a one-semester course in a calculus-based probability and statistics course. The book focuses on engineering examples and applications, while also including social sciences and more examples. Depending on the chapter flows, a course can be tailored for students at all levels and background. Over many years of teaching this course, the authors created problems based on real data, student projects, and labs. Students have suggested these enhance their experience and learning. The authors hope to share projects and labs with other instructors and students to make the course more interesting for both. R is an excellent platform to use. This book uses R with real data sets. The labs can be used for group work, in class, or for self-directed study. These project labs have been class-tested for many years with good results and encourage students to apply the key concepts and use of technology to analyze and present results.
