...ある日本の島への自転車旅行が、愛と食を巻き込んで大冒険に発展。定年退職したばかりの詩人の元大学教授と、ジャズ歌手を目指す若き女性医師が、瀬戸内海に浮かぶ四国を自転車で放浪することになった。この旅は、二人を精神的にも肉体的にも近づけ、またそれぞれが心の奥に隠していた過去の悲劇と向き合い、新しい人生を模索する機会を与えた。二人が乗る自転車、桜、野生的な海岸線、温泉、素晴らしい地元の食が彼らの冒険に華を添えた。旅の道中では、愛、生命、芸術、宗教などさまざまなテーマについて語り合った。恋愛が物語の原動力にはなっているものの、それが唯一のテーマではない。『四国』は単なる「紀行小説」を超えて、主人公たちが新しい人生に向けて冒険を試みる小説でもある。
Everybody in this world needs financial help, they just don't know they need it yet. As a qualified financial planner I can only help so many people and as a business owner I have to charge to do this. But financial advice is so important, I wanted to make this available to everyone. This book is basically like I am working directly with the reader and taking them through our financial planning process - from understanding their financial history, to setting long-term goals and everything in between. The book has specific actions the reader can take in terms of increasing saving, how to be tax-efficient in their investing and what investment strategy they can use.***A wonderful book. Financial planning is, when done properly, as much a question of philosophy and psychology as it is about economics and finance. It is always welcome to see someone recognise this. Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman, Ogilvy
Stuart undertook formal Benefits, Programme and Portfolio Management training and has been employed as a Benefits Manager in Projects, Programmes and Portfolio Offices (P3Os) and In-Service/ BaU teams in Public and Private Sector organisations since 2014.It took Stuart time to implement effective Benefits Management despite attending formal training because there was no practical guide available, there was varied and competing views on the subject and, a successful approach with support from the organisation was hard to find. Indeed, much time had been spent on circular conversations trying to understand the subject, confusion and language. A structured/ informed guide could have saved significant time and money.Stuart used the 'lived experience' to inform this guide and approach so the P3Os and In-Service/BaU teams can see it's practical application. Stuart removes the jargon, gets to the point and, seeks to save time so Benefit Managers can work effectively and at pace and, develop their knowledge and skills using an accepted approach to boost performance.Stuart would like to thank all stakeholders who were involved either directly or indirectly, for their interactions, influence and exchanges and a special thank you to Paul Carter for his time and assistance.

The personal vendetta against prostitutes was over and Michael Maybrick was free to continue furthering his ambitions for fame and fortune, but a persistent problem had yet to be resolved.

Corporate Governance regulates not only interactions between shareholders, management and oversight bodies such as boards of directors, but also ensures appropriate checks and balances exist that can preserve and enhance the viability of any business, including any family-owned business. Family Governance regulates the interactions between a family-owned business and the family owning the business, as well as between the members of the owning family. When both are present and functioning well, the prospects of longevity for the family business and the preservation of the ownership of the business in the family are both enhanced. When one or both disciplines are absent or not functioning well, these prospects are undermined. So, Corporate and Family Governance are not sufficient but they are necessary conditions for the continued viability of a family-owned business and the continued family ownership of the business across multiple generations.
