Book Description

This is an information rich program providing advice and tips on how to outfox professional thieves and protect your luggage, laptop, briefcase or purse while on the road. Suited to both leisure and business travelers, this program tells you how you can decrease your victim potential and reduce your chances of becoming a mark for professional thieves, pickpockets and con artists. It describes the latest scams that can occur in locations where there are many travelers are such as airports, taxi cabs, shuttle buses and even in public bathrooms!

It only takes a second to be distracted by what you think is a lost traveler, crying child or someone needing your aid or innocently asking you what time it is. While you're distracted by this "actor", another member of the distraction team has relieved you of your valuables. Did you know there are actual schools pickpockets attend to learn their craft and graduate from?

The tape is the only resource that thoroughly covers laptop theft prevention. The theft of laptops from travelers has grown every year. What use to be a thief's coveted prize several years ago was a high end 35 mm camera, five years ago it was the camcorder, today it's the laptop. They are easy to steal and easy to fence to a disreputable pawn shop or unsuspecting buyer who can't pass up a "good deal." This tape will provide the valuable information to keep your laptop in the right hands (yours) while on the road. In addition, the program also discusses all the aspects of luggage, from how dishonest baggage handlers easily open your luggage, to luggage locks and luggage insurance. You will hear an insider's point of view on soft sided vs. hard sided luggage as well as tips on choosing luggage locks and insurance. Do they work, and which ones are best? If you follow the advice the author offers you will travel with greater peace of mind knowing you've done your best to help both you and your property make it safely to your destination. . After you hear this program you will want to make sure your loved ones hear it too before their very next trip.

traveler beware.......2002-03-15

good solid advice of what to be aware of when traveling
a worthwhile listen

Traveler Beware.......2000-08-25

I have been traveling for the last 10 years, but have never traveled overseas. I had heard many stories and have had friends who have wallets and purses stolen gypsies and thieves but have had a hard time finding information that was in-depth. I saw the author on Oprah when she talked about this tape but never got around to buying it, but finally did before my first trip to Italy, Spain and Greece. The tape was just what I wanted, gave all the scams used by crooks. Of interesting note, the author has a web site... that gives additonal information and travel safety tips.

Traveler Beware.......2000-08-25

This book was very helpful to me in my travels. I am in sales and I do a lot of traveling and ever since I listened to the tape it has made me more aware of my surroundings in the airport and other areas that I was not aware of. It is amazing some of the scams Detective Coffey talked about. I would highly recommend this tape to anyone that wants to protect their properties while traveling on business or pleasure.

No-nonsense Discussion of how to stay safe when travelling.......2000-05-24

When I opened the box and saw only 1 cassette I thought for a minute this was nothing more than an audio info-mercial to sell security items. Nothing could be further from the truth. The single 90-minute tape packs a wealth of information about personal and luggage security when traveling domestically and overseas (of course it is slanted towards an American audience). I've traveled extensively in my career and as a part-time tour guide in Europe and Russia. I'm pretty savvy about maintaing situational awareness, not being distracted etc. If you also are an experienced international traveller, you might know some of these hints as well; this tape is great as a refresher. If you don't travel often-well you DEFINITELY need to acquire a copy lest you become a victim. Highly recommended, especially for someone who is an infrequent traveller.

Customer Reviews:

pleasantly surprised with content..........2007-08-16

I've only skimmed the book for content, not read it yet. I was seeking a book to help with internal controls for my husbands medical practice. I am a CPA. This book may be slightly light on that topic, but it was very comprehensive as to running a practice, not just the accounting side of it. After I read through this book I will probably be ready to run the office myself - doing everything but the operations! It was costly so I was apprehensive to buy it, but I think it'll be worth the cost.

Financial Models Using Simulation and Optimization: A Step-By-Step Guide With Excel and Palisade's Decisiontools Software.......2006-04-02

I highly recommend this book to anyone working with Excel & Financial Models. The author has straight forward examples that highlight approaches & methods that will help you leverage the power of Microsoft Excel. Incorporating Excels Solver can be very beneficial for financial planning and this text helps accelerate you along the learning curve at a rapid pace. I have used his "yield curve" technique, "Linear Regression" technique, and "Modeling Relationships Involving More than One Independent Variable" technique. I used this last technique to model prepayment speeds of mortgage loans consisting mainly of ARM loans (COFI & MTA). The investment in the text is small compared to the wealth of information at your disposal. It will make a great reference book.

Nice book.......2005-10-14

nice book for the starters and great concepts to learn excel in an exciting way.

Good guide to learn to develop financial models.......2001-03-18

This book has good examples that one can use to get up and going with basic to intermediate financial models. If you have to start somewhere, this is certainly it.

An execellent guide to intermediate/advanced models.......2000-12-08

This book does what it says it does in the title. It is a hand-on, step-by-step guide to constructing spreadsheet models to assist with decision making. The book guides the reader through intermediate to advanced modelling topics and is written at a level that is accessable to the novice and intermediate user. Advanced users are probably already familiar with the techniques presented.

Someone interested in the tiresome advanced mathematics behind the models should look instead to academic journals . . . someone interested in APPLYING that stuff to something useful should consider this book.

Excellent resource for marketing or finance manager.......1999-10-16

The book provides step-by-step method to guide you to build financial models for your company. Once you understand the basic foundation, you could use the tools to build more complex models.

Book Description

First published in 1998, Financial Models Using Simulation and Optimization quickly became one of the most widely used references for the application of simulation and optimization techniques to financial problems. Now, author Wayne Winston has done it again with a totally new volume! Financial Models II is packed with real-life examples that demonstrate how @RISK, Evolver and Excel can be used to make better financial decisions. Winston's straightforward, step-by-step approach makes his innovative techniques accessible to anyone who uses Microsoft Excel.

Topics covered include:

o Modeling future stock prices and hedging stock price and interest rate risk. Examples include Value At Risk (VAR), incorporating analyst forecasts, correlating stock forecasts, and bootstrapping.

o Portfolio optimization, including minimizing a portfolio's risk, finding the Efficiency Frontier, minimizing the probability of loss, and maximizing the Sharpe Ratio.

o Valuing a firm or a stock price, including modeling key drivers of firm value, incorporating simulation into Proforma models, forecasting income of a corporation, and modeling profitability of a new product.

o Real options and options pricing analysis, including valuing options by arbitrage methods, Black-Scholes pricing, estimating volatility using the historical and implied volatility approaches, option pricing using the risk neutral approach, binomial and lognormal pricing models.

o Pricing and marketing models, including optimal product bundling, price response to currency fluctuations, conjoint analysis, and discrete choice analysis.

o Plus: playing craps with @RISK and simulating the NBA finals!

Examples in this book have been developed and used successfully at companies such as GM, Microsoft, Intel, and Cisco. All files discussed are included on CD-ROM. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduates, MBAs, and most of all practicing financial professionals for both self-study or education classes.

Disappointment.......2006-10-10

I have just received this book and had a look at. It is not what I had expected before buying. The author shows excellent knowledge of Microsoft Excel and does not care about explanations where he takes formulas from. There is very little about the underground Real Options technology. There is almost nothing about "Financial Models" themselves - just how to make calculations using ready to use formulas and Excel.
In my opinion it is not a big deal to use Excel when you know formulas.
What I was really after by buying this book was how to build mathematical models in finance, what kind of numerical methods they use and how they use Excel for getting results. I still believe that Excel is not the best tool for resolving systems of differential equations using numerical methods (Particularly big systems).
I myself am a Russian rocket scientist who has spent more the 15 years in building mathematical models in mechanical engineering. To my surprise differential equations that they use in finance are same type as we have used in mechanical engineering. Now I live in New Zealand and I am trying to enter finance world by building math models in this area. I decided to introduce myself for proving that I know the subject that I am talking about
I am sorry but this book is waste of money- at least for me.

Completely useless !.......2005-12-22

The example files were not included in the CD-Rom and the trial software expires in 10 days. Not enough time to go through a fraction of the material. Don't waste your time with this book.

Book Reviews.......2001-02-07

"Richard W. Corbin served with the Army of Northern Virginia for only the last nine months of its existence. His letters describing Confederate service made a book of fewer than one hundred pages in the original edition, and more than one-fourth of that volume covered Corbin's interesting and arduous trip from Europe to Virginia. Despite the author's relatively short tenure with the army, and the slender extent of the resultant book, Corbin's Letters of a Confederate Officer to His Family in Europe During the Last Year of the War of Secession stands out as an important item in Confederate bibliographical annals for several reasons. It is one of the meager handful of Confederate books published in France; the only published Army of Northern Virginia account by a French emigrant (albeit of Virginian blood); among the half-dozen rarest Army of Northern Virginia books; the most important single source for the curiously unrecorded military career of General Charles W. Field; and, in my admittedly subjective judgment, the best written and most literate book by any Confederate." Robert K. Krick

"Unfortunately rare, this book includes the candid letters of a member of Major General C. W. Field's staff, who described interesting details of operations North of the James subsequent to June, 1864." Douglas Southall Freeman, excerpt from the select bibliography of Lee's Lieutenants

Book Description

Franz Liszt has been described by one biographer as `one of the most wonderful human beings that ever lived, and one of the greatest and most original artists of the nineteenth century'. Born in Hungary in 1811, he rapidly achieved fame throughout Europe as a fabulously gifted pianist, and in the course of his long life - he died in 1886 - he visited almost every country in the continent, including three tours of the British Isles. The adulation bestowed upon him was so extraordinary that it gave rise to the term `Lisztomania'. In Portrait of Liszt Adrian Williams has put together a kaleidoscope of eyewitness accounts and anecdotes - many that are likely to be new even to Liszt specialists - extracted from the diaries, letters, and reminiscences of those who knew Liszt as man, pianist, and teacher. These appear side by side with newspaper reviews and passages from Liszt's own letters and writings. The linking narrative provides information about his activities, movements, and concerts, and gives more detail than any previous publication of Liszt's visits to England, Scotland, and Ireland. There emerges a uniquely comprehensive look at one of the most prodigiously gifted of all musicians as well as an absorbing view of European musical and artistic life in the nineteenth century.

Book Description

In his wonderfully compelling style, author Stephen Kalmar recounts the trials and tribulations of his life, from the point at which he and his family left Mexico for Australia in 1948, to the break-up of his first marriage and the emergence of new love in the decades to follow. Ever the entrepreneur, Dr. Kalmar participated in risky ventures and came up with ingenious products, including the now-famous windmill "beanie" caps. A portrait of a normal businessman thrown into unusual circumstances, Dr. Kalmar's book is also a tale of facing life with "chutzpah" when times are rough. An engaging, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant book for a wide range of readers. Photographs.
