Jamshidian's trick is a technique for one-factor asset price models, which re-expresses an option on a portfolio of assets as a portfolio of options. It was developed by Farshid Jamshidian in 1989.

The trick relies on the following simple, but very useful mathematical observation. Consider a sequence of monotone (increasing) functions  of one real variable (which map onto ), a random variable , and a constant . 

Since the function  is also increasing and maps onto , there is a unique solution  to the equation 

Since the functions  are increasing: 

In financial applications, each of the random variables  represents an asset value, the number  is the strike of the option on the portfolio of assets. We can therefore express the payoff of an option on a portfolio of assets in terms of a portfolio of options on the individual assets  with corresponding strikes .

Chromium(VI) peroxide or chromium oxide peroxide is an unstable compound with the formula CrO5. This compound contains one oxo ligand and two peroxo ligands, making a total of five oxygen atoms per chromium atom.

Preparation and properties
Chromium(VI) peroxide is formed by the addition of acidified hydrogen peroxide solutions to solutions of metal chromates or dichromates, such as sodium chromate or potassium dichromate. The generally yellow chromates or orange dichromates turn to dark blue as chromium(VI) peroxide is formed. Chromate or dichromate reacts with hydrogen peroxide and an acid to give chromium peroxide and water.

CrO42− + 2 H2O2 + 2 H+ → CrO5 + 3 H2O

With this method, the chromium(VI) peroxide will decompose after a few seconds, turning green as chromium(III) compounds are formed. 

2 CrO5 + 7 H2O2 + 6 H+ → 2 Cr3+ + 10 H2O + 7 O2

To avoid this decomposition, it is possible to stabilize chromium(VI) oxide peroxide in water-immiscible organic solvents such as diethyl ether, butan-1-ol, ethyl acetate or amyl acetate by adding a layer of the organic solvent above the chromate/dichromate solution and shaking during the addition of hydrogen peroxide. In this way, the chromium(VI) peroxide (unstable in the aqueous phase in which it is newly formed) is dissolved in the immiscible organic solvent. In this condition, it can be observed over a much longer period.

CrO5 is unstable and decomposes on standing to form CrO3. It is incompatible with ketones and primary alcohols, as it oxidizes them to aldehydes and carboxylic acids while being itself reduced to Cr3+. Therefore, CrO5 is a good oxidizing agent, even better than chromates and dichromates due to the presence of two reactive peroxo ligands, but due to its low stability it is not used in organic syntheses.

Derivatives

The etherate, bipyridyl and pyridyl complexes of this compound have been found to be effective oxidants in organic chemistry. The structure of the pyridyl complex has been determined crystallographically.

René Mercet (December 1, 1898 – June 13, 1961) was a Swiss international referee in the 1920s and 1930s. He is known for having refereed the Italy v Spain replayed quarter-final in the 1934. René Mercet is accused of having allowed an irregular goal from Meazza, then of having refused 2 others for Spain. "The referee conducted the operations with such casualness that he frequently appeared to be Italy's twelfth man" reads the summary of the french sports daily L'Auto. After his return to Switzerland, he was struck off by the Swiss Football Association and FIFA. FIFA World Cup.

The Clark–Eames House is a historic house located at 230 Middlefield Road in Washington, Massachusetts.  Probably built around 1790, it is one of the town's few surviving 18th-century houses.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

Description and history 
The Clark–Eames House is located in a rural setting in the southeastern corner of Washington; the closest village is that of Becket to the southwest.  It is located on the southeast side of Middlefield Road, roughly opposite its junction with Johnson Hill Road.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior.  Its five-bay front facade has simple Federal period styling, with simple moulded surrounds around the windows, and a center entrance with flanking pilasters and a corniced entablature.  In the late 19th century, the entrance was sheltered by a gable-roof hood with Victorian styling, but that has since been removed.

It is one of only a handful houses constructed in the area during the 18th century, with a construction date sometime between 1782 and 1797.  Its presence in a remote corner of the town exemplifies the town's dispersed form of settlement.  The house was the seat of a  farm for most of the 19th century.  It now serves as a vacation residence, show another trend on how the town's economy has changed in the 20th century.

Parc Festyland is a relatively small theme park situated within the Caen ringroad (A13/A84) in Lower Normandy, France. Sometimes referred to as being in Carpiquet in Greater Caen, the theme park receives approximately 110,000 visitors a year.

Background

Parc Festyland is a true theme park as it has a central unifying theme in accordance with which the whole park - from rides to restaurants to surroundings - is built. The theme of Parc Festyland 
is the 1066 era. Being a family theme park, it concentrates on the architecture and personalities of the time. The park's logo is a friendly, young-looking dragon's head sporting a Viking hat and a large grin.

Visiting Figures
In 2005, the park received 110,000 visitors, compared to Caen's five museums which received 550,000 visitors between them (source: Caen tourist office).

Advertising
Parc Festyland runs an advertising campaign in association with the Caen tourist office. In all language versions of the booklet, the first inner page is a full colour advert for the park. It consists of the Parc Festyland name and logo, the catchphrase ("defiez le!!!"), contact details (website address and phone number), and two pictures of females appearing to enjoy themselves at the park, with a large rollercoaster in the background.

Catchphrase
The park's motto is Défiez le!. The English version of the Caen tourist office booklet translates this phrase as 'brave it'. It refers to braving the main attraction (a 59 second long roller coaster).

Features

Rides in the Park 
The Drakkar Express is a steel roller coaster, the cars of which are designed to resemble Viking ships.
The bumper boats are waterborne dodgem cars. The cars seat either one person, or an adult and a small child, however height restrictions do apply. Each car consists of a plastic moulded steering platform supported by an inflated rubber cushion.

The bateaux les pentes vertigineuses du Piratak are a water slide with boats.

Prehistyland 
A section of the park is themed to the prehistoric era, instead of 1066 as is the rest of the park. The prehistoric area includes life size models of dinosaurs and a rope bridge traversing a lake.

Floral Decorations 
There are gardens with floral decorations and snail-shaped vehicles on a fixed tracks that take visitors on tours.

Malhar Rao Gaekwad was the eleventh Maharaja of Baroda State reigning from 1870 to 1875. He was the sixth son of Sayaji Rao Gaekwad II and became Maharaja of Baroda after the death of his elder brother, Khanderao II Gaekwad.

Reign
Malhar Rao spent money liberally on prostitutes, nearly emptying the Baroda coffers (he commissioned a pair of solid gold cannon and a carpet of pearls, among other expenses) and soon reports reached the Resident of Malhar Rao's gross tyranny and cruelty. Malharrao further attempted to cover up his deeds by poisoning the British Resident at Baroda, Robert Phayre, brother of Lieutenant General Arthur Purves Phayre with a compound of arsenic. By order of the Secretary of State for India, Lord Salisbury, Malharrao was deposed on 10 April 1875 and exiled to Madras, where he died in obscurity in 1882.

The Guianas' conservation significance
The three Guianas (Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana) have between 80 and 98% pristine forest cover and are part of the complex ecosystem of The Guiana Shield freshwater ecoregion, which provides 15% of the world's freshwater reserves.
The forests, wetlands, savannah, waters and biodiversity make the Guiana Shield "essential to enriching and replenishing the world's biodiversity and, consequently, essential to the planet's survival" as Brigadier David Granger - President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana pointed out during his speech at the Opening Ceremony of the IVth International Congress on Biodiversity of the Guiana Shield.
It is also the home of incredible wildlife creatures such as jaguars, anteaters, anacondas, caimans, bats, and sea turtles. A phenomenal variety of fishes populate its waters, and a prodigious amount of different bird species inhabits its trees and skies.
The coasts of the Guianas are home to one of the largest populations of the endangered leatherback turtle in the world and hosts millions of migratory birds from North America. Typical Guiana birds include the red ibis and the cock-of-the-rock.
Multiple Indigenous communities live in key parts of the Shield such as the Iwokrama Forest or the Rupununi region.

Offices and staff
The regional office of WWF Guianas is located in Paramaribo, Suriname. Country offices are also located in Georgetown, Guyana, and Cayenne, French Guiana.
David Singh is the Director of WWF Guianas, Aiesha Williams runs the WWF Guyana Country Office and Laurent Kelle the WWF French Guiana Country Office.
