strategy and discuss its effectiveness in managing an Index Portfolio. After defining strategic criteria, we construct an optimal portfolio based on the Mean-Variance theory. We then manage it for the defined one-year period and apply classical (e.g. Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio) as well as CPPI-specific (e.g. Omega Ratio, T2, M2) performance measures to create a consolidated portfolio view. Finally, using data form the Wharton Database we employ a multifactor analysis and discuss the performance of the

He then contemplated killing his 19 month old daughter, Gracie, for 30 minutes before shooting her in the head with the same spear gun he had used to murder Anna.

“The case requires the Court to address one of the most difficult and controversial of contemporary issues, that of determining whether, and to what extent, Parliament may legitimately criminalize obscenity.” The R v Butler case is similar to the Sharpe case as it deals with what could be classified as obscenity and at that time obscenity also included child pornography.

Towering at almost 1000 meters and at a plunge of 807 meters, Angel Falls lies at the edge of the Auyan Tepui mountain nested deep within Venezuela’s natural beauty, Canaima National Park. Angel Falls’s elevation is so high up that the falling water evaporates before it hits the ground, turning into mist. It is estimated that it is 15 times the height of the great Niagara Falls and has a base of 500 feet wide. “It was sighted by explorer Ernesto Sánchez La Cruz, but he did not publicize his discovery
