"The author has drawn on his significant personal experience and diligently created a high-quality reference document which helps readers unravel the many mysteries of the Basel requirements, and how these may in turn impact their businesses. Whilst the Basel requirements can be very technical, this book has filled a gap in that it explains them in an easy-to-follow way which will appeal to readers of differing experience from new recruits up to board members". Peter Shaw, Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Risk Committee for Esure and Willis Ltd and, previously in similar roles at Aldermore Bank and Bank of Ireland UK"This book provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of how the regulatory framework evolved, what constitutes its current incarnation and how the framework is put into practice by banks and other financial institutions of all sizes and jurisdictions. The provision of clear practical examples helps the reader absorb the technicalities of the regulations and see how the framework is applied in real settings".Chris Sparks, Chief Risk Officer, Atom Bank"Basel III by its nature is a wide ranging and at times dry and complicated. This book is a valuable and versatile resource being an extensive study with an easy-to-understand narrative across the whole topic. In addition, it is a handy reference tool for when one needs to revisit or check any specific area. A must have for risk professionals across all levels".Paul Howard, Group Chief Risk Officer, Bank ABCDuring the financial crisis governments and central banks had to take coordinated action to prevent well-known banks, such as the Royal Bank of Scotland, from collapsing and to reinvigorate financial markets. As the dust settled it soon became obvious that there were serious flaws in the then prevailing regulatory framework, known as Basel II. Within a few years substantial changes to this framework, referred to as Basel III, were agreed in principle but it took more than ten years for its final details to be finalised.In this context, this book provides an overview of Basel requirements in a readily understandable and logical format. In doing so the book not only provides a description of the key elements of Basel requirements, now referred to as the Basel Framework, but an explanation of how they have evolved, and why, and the challenges that bank management have faced in implementing them. It also sets out the issues and challenges that management, from board level down, face on an ongoing basis as they seek to run a profitable banking operation whilst endeavouring to meet regulatory and other stakeholders' expectations.The book also addresses the questions as to whether the updated requirements have helped level the playing field for banks and have they strengthened banks and financial markets. In this regards it should be clear to readers that, despite implementation continuing to be a work in progress, the changes already embedded by banks has made them much more resilient as evidenced by their ability to absorb the impacts of Covid-19 without raising concerns over their ongoing viability.

He responds to an invitation from a woman whose photograph reminds him of his recently departed wife.

His own liberty becomes at risk as the police investigate the suspicious death of an unknown elderly woman with whom he appears to have been in contact. A solicitor, a journalist, and a priest, all friends from Malcolm's student days in Exeter, try to establish his innocence and protect him from a possible serious physical assault, while facing the risk that they too could be implicated in a crime.
Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Stations in Essex The Centenary of Brentwood and Ongar Radio Stations A hundred years ago Guglielmo Marconi was busy setting up telegraph links between the UK and countries across the world and was operating wireless stations in the west of Ireland and in Wales. After WW1 new advances in valves and electronic technology enabled wireless stations to be built closer to London. With the engineering and manufacturing facilities of the Marconi Company already set up in Chelmsford it was logical to build new wireless, or radio as it was becoming known, stations in Essex and Brentwood and Ongar were the chosen locations for the establishment of new European and Worldwide links. This book tells the story of these two radio stations from their establishment in 1921 until new technology and other factors saw their demise, Brentwood in 1967 and Ongar in 1985.Paul HawkinsPaul Hawkins spent his whole career working in radio communications. He joined the British Post Office International Telecommunication service in 1967 working at Dorchester Radio Station, then Goonhilly Satellite Station and Bearley Radio Station. From 1980-83 he worked in the USA and from 1983 until his retirement in 2013 he worked for the Thales Company in England, where he was involved in the design of antennas and communication systems for Naval vessels. Radio and its history is a personal interest of Paul and he has published a number of articles in the vintage wireless press, conference papers for the IEE and a book concerning the history of radio communications. He has also given lectures to various groups about radio telecommunications history and at one of these he was fortunate enough to meet Princess Elettra Marconi, the daughter of Guglielmo Marconi.Paul ReylandPaul Reyland was brought up and educated in Brentwood. After leaving school in 1965 he started working at Brentwood Radio Receiving Station as an apprentice. When the station closed in 1967, he was transferred to Ongar Radio Transmitting Station at North Weald to complete his training. He was employed by the Post Office International Telecommunication service, later to become British Telecom International (BTI), for nearly 30 years working mainly in radio and satellite operations. From 1995 Paul worked for the International Maritime Satellite organization (INMARSAT), retiring in 2002. After writing an article about Brentwood Radio Station for the Essex Journal magazine in 2019, it was suggested by his friend Paul Hawkins that they should produce a book to mark the centenary of both Brentwood and Ongar radio stations. This book is the result of their collaboration and research.

I guess you must have heard of James Joyce's famously impossible novel, Ulysses, or you wouldn't be reading this. You may have had a go at the book but soon given up; probably in the third 'episode', which is quite challenging. You may have bought a guide to Ulysses and found that was quite hard to understand too! I have been reading and studying Ulysses on and off since I first discovered it in my parents' bookcase at the age of 12. Later on, I looked at some of the guides to the book and found them a bit overwhelming too. So I decided to write my own book. It doesn't go into all the detailed references, but there is enough explanation to let you understand a lot and enjoy everything. Some of the characters will stay in your mind like friends for life. You will find much of it poetic and moving. You will also find yourself laughing out loud because Ulysses is full of jokes and comical events. So go and buy the Penguin paperback edition along with John's Guide. And let's get started!
There was once a general consensus on the Left that anti-Semitism, derided as 'the socialism of fools', had no place in the Labour movement. No longer. Having led his party to its worst defeat since 1935, Jeremy Corbyn's humiliation was compounded when in October 2020, Labour was found by the Equality and Human Rights Commission to have been in breach of the Equality Act of 2010 on three separate counts of unlawful anti-Semitic acts while he was Party Leader. Corbyn himself was criticised by the Commission for protecting those committing such acts, and had the party whip withdrawn for rejecting its findings. This book places the Corbyn affair in the context of a general crisis of the global Left, one that has been fuelled by a toxic mix of an obsessive anti-Zionism, Islamophilia, political correctness, a loathing of western civilisation, 'critical race theory' and an abandonment of its historical roots in the working class.ABOUT THE AUTHORRobin Blick is the author under the pen name of Robert Black of: Workers Councils in the Hungarian Revolution (1966), Moscow Trials Anthology, with B.
