Book Description
In this groundbreaking guide, former investment banker Philippe Espinasse explains the process of gathering cornerstone investors in connection with IPOs and other equity offerings. Using his trademark simple and jargon-free language, he details the targeting strategies, documentation, marketing, and allocation of shares and other securities to these reference shareholders, and analyses why and how they make or break today’s new listings across Asia’s key markets. This essential guide—and the first of its kind—contains key information on the legal framework for cornerstone investors in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore, and offers practical advice on how best to structure and conduct a cornerstone investor offering. It also discusses some of the more controversial issues associated with the practice of cornerstone investment and includes many real-life examples of cornerstone deals, sample documents, cornerstone investor profiles, an investor target list, and a comprehensive glossary. ‘There is no better person to shed light on the opaque world of cornerstone investing in Asian IPOs. Philippe Espinasse writes clearly, substantively, and expertly.’ —Jasper Moiseiwitsch, Asia companies and markets news editor, Financial Times ‘As engaging as it is informative. Espinasse has cut through legalese and jargon to create a pragmatic overview of this widely misunderstood, and distinctly Asian, investment banking concept. Packed with recent examples, this book doesn’t just teach you about cornerstones; it also provides an insider’s take of the region’s capital markets hubs.’ —Danielle Myles, capital markets editor, The Banker ‘Cornerstone investors have taken centre stage in Hong Kong’s IPO market. This book is needed now more than ever.’ —Matthew Thomas, Asia bureau chief, Euromoney Institutional Investor

Book Description
"Cornerstone" is a new collection of essays offering a dazzling, contemporary spin on the origins of civilization. Pedro Azara s unique architectural and archaeological insights, enhanced by his knowledge of cuneiform script, decode the dreams, myths and ideas that gave birth to the city some 7000 years ago.

Book Description
This book is the fourth in a series of five books. It is when Rome was holding Israel as a vassal kingdom. In our last book, Cornerstone Found, we were in a time when Kong Cyrus of the Medes released Israel after seventy years of exile to return and rebuild their Temple. It was rebuilt with one change in its dimensions. It was the same in width and length, but now it was ninety feet tall. They built it out of the old stones that had been the Temple before. Another conqueror came and was shown the prophecy of Daniel, Alexander the Great. He was not given by name, as was Cyrus. The prophecy said he would come but not destroy; he did and not destroy. Afterward, he did say they would pay tribute and furnish men for war as needed. The Temple continued to stand with the cornerstone. After four hundred years since the rebuilding, the Romans came. The Greek dominance had been broken into four fractions after Alexander’s death. These four divisions were ruled by four of Alexander’s generals, not in his ways. There were rebellions and wars against these generals. Rome came and took Jerusalem for the first time by intimidation. Rome set up its control of government with its assigned kings. Their king in Jerusalem was of mixed blood. His mother was of the blood of Esua and Canaanite, and his father was of Jewish blood. This new king of Israel was Herod the Great. He was an egotist and a lover of building to gain permanent recognition. He could not tolerate the vision of this building, thirty feet wide by ninety feet long by ninety feet high and built with reused stones. This building would corrupt his vision of grandeur for the city. He made a deal with the priests that he would not disrupt the rituals. He wanted to cover the old stones with new ones. In the cladding process of the Temple, he tore the stones off the porch to keep the same dimensions. In the process, the cornerstone got lost, or it could be assumed that it was hidden. In this book, we will take you from Zerubbable’s rebuilding to Herod’s days. We will get into the lives of some of the Israelites and how they lived before and after Alexander to the coming of the Romans with their allies, one of whom was Herod’s father. We have tried to get into the mind of Herod using the information provided by the Bible. When you finish this book, you will be up to date on the events surrounding the Temple and the cornerstone. There has been no change to the Cornerstone events since Herod’s time. It is still hidden.The Romans tore the Temple down sixty six years after his death.

Book Description
The fascinating exploration of a vanished settlement in Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park, told within the framework of an archaeologist’s memoir.

Book Description
This book is the third in a series of five books. The purpose of these books is to bring to light some very important to one's faith by revealing some not widely known facts of the history of events that have come to pass. In this sharing with you these events that might increase your faith. We would be joyfully thinking God may have used us to increase your faith. The time setting in this book is during Israel's captivity in Babylon and their release to return to their land and rebuild their Temple by the Meades, now known as Iraq. They and their ally, the Persians, now known as Iran, had conquered Babylon. We learn of the 'Seventy Years Captivity' prophecy of Israel and its fulfillment by its release as given to Jeremiah by God. We see it gives the name of the person who would release them as Cyrus. The prophecy was given a hundred and fifty years before its fulfillment. If we can place you in that time, living a life as one there and seeing and feeling as one of those that were there, then we accomplished what we set out to do. Making God's witness, Israel, to the world, an actual event in your life, will draw you to seek to know more about God and what He desires from you.

ISBN: 1098072030
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 25
Book Description
The Cornerstone is a children's book about a little girl who fortuitously gained information that would forever help her in her walk with God. Marie and her mother, who is a single parent, lived with her mother's parents. They lived alone and had a room in their home for Marie and her mother. Marie's mother worked a lot and occasionally had to travel out of town and leave Marie behind. Like some children, Marie didn't like being left behind but there was nothing she could do. She often stood and wondered, when her mother pulled away, about the experiences she could have had if she had been allowed to go. Marie's grandfather was a wise old Christian gentleman and had a lot of knowledge to share. Being inquisitive, as most children are, gained Marie some valuable information. Whenever her grandfather spoke with his deep bass voice she listened to him. Making sure that she understood completely, she felt comfortable sharing what she had learned with others and anxiously awaited a time to share. When children are shy about talking, they are more likely to have a desire to speak up when they feel knowledgeable about a topic. Dr. Scruggs has had a lifelong interest in educating not only her own children but others as well. The Cornerstone may be read by an adult to a child so that questions can be answered and other nuggets of truth can be given or it may be read by the child. The book was written with the hope that children will gain a clear understanding of the importance of God in our life. This book could also be used as a read-aloud. The book has illustrations that could enhance the meaning of the book's content. When the book is read, the pictures can be shown and discussed. It is my prayer that The Cornerstone will be a great blessing to all who read it.

The Cornerstone Lost

Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Many people go through the Bible for years and are surprised when they find something they had not seen or heard before. This happened to me. I found the verse in Zechariah 3:10 speaking about a cornerstone that had the engraving cleaned out and to be set back in the temple stones covering the foundation by Zerubbabel and the high priest Joshua. This led to other verses. I became like a detective searching for all the clues. The Bible gives the history of the temples built from Solomon to Herod the Great. The cornerstone is not mentioned in the history Solomon’s temple or of Herod’s temple. A lot of details are given to the building of Solomon’s temple. The amount of gold, silver, and iron used are recorded. The contract between Solomon and King Hiram of Tyre is recorded. How many men working in the forest of Lebanon are recorded, and how often they were relieved. There is no mention of the cornerstone there. It is not mentioned in the history of King Herod. This is because he never set it in his temple. He hid it. We can know it was there because of the record of it being replaced by Zerubbabel, and it was the temple built by Zerubbabel that Herod was tearing apart and remodeling. Zechariah qualifies it being in Solomon’s temple by telling of the cleaning out the engraving and of the old men who saw it reset by Zerubbabel, and when they saw it, they wept loudly from the remembrance of it in the first temple (Ezra 3:12). What is the importance of this stone? It is the engraving. What is the meaning of the seven eyes engraved on it? This is what gives you its importance. Revelation 5:6 tells you what the seven eyes represent. Here is where people get uncomfortable. Revelations speak of God having seven spirits. They get confused, and this is unsettling. But let us think for just a moment. Yes, the Bible speaks of God being one Spirit. He is! The spirit used in Revelation is used in a different way. As God has the spirit of wrath, grief, long-suffering, forgiveness, and others. Why eyes? This represents God looking into the affairs of men in the ways of wrath, patience, and the five others Jesus came in the fullness of God with these ways of looking into men. The cornerstone is the token sign of the coming Messiah to the Jews. He was the cornerstone of their faith, unknowingly. But the cornerstone significance will become known. The Messiah, Jesus, would become their Messiah as they learn and understand the scriptures and his life. This Old Testament verse from Habakkuk 2:11 tie it up: “For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.” It is this author’s belief that King Herod the Great hid the cornerstone in the walls around the temple complex as he remodeled and enlarged it. There are still walls left that were built by him. Question: Why are the Jews and Christians drawn to the section called the “Wailing Wall?” The beam out of the timber is the cross. The stone cried out. The Messiah is coming. The beam out of the timber answered, He has come.

Pages : 250
Book Description
Over the last thirty years, many people who have heard my life’s testimony suggested that I write this book. The book starts off with my verbally and emotional abusive relationship with my father that eventually caused me to accept atheism and to run away from home at the age of fourteen. I went to Hell’s Kitchen in New York City and joined a local gang, the Park Rats. The middle section shows my association with The Genovese Mafia due to work provided in the trucking industry as a driver, which eventually led to my managing two trucking companies. Management also included dealing with the many problems with the Teamsters Union over the years, and there are stories about my criminal activities throughout that time, including, but not limited to, my close relationship with the Genovese Mafia underboss. The third and last section explains how God provided a miracle for me while in the process of the reconstruction of a church in San Diego, CA. That miracle sent me on a search for God. I explain how God changed my life and used me to draw others to Him.
