Book Description
Nate Delaying treatment for my bum knee until the off season isn’t the smartest move, but hey, I’m a big dumb jock. And pro hockey players play, come hell or broken bones. That stupid knee sends me sprawling in front of the prettiest lady in Central Park. She’s also smart, and kind, and she bonds with my young daughter Quinn over strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Can’t hurt to ask her out for coffee, right? Carly There aren’t many options for a laid-off au pair in New York City. I can’t live on couch surfing, ranty blogging, and less ranty freelance articles forever, but I won’t work with kids again. It’s too painful when it ends.

But when Nate has to go under the knife, he asks me to help care for his daughter. I don’t want to be a nanny again, but I can’t turn him down. I’ll just have to keep my guard up to protect my heart.

Scoring is Boring
Author: Saumya Saxena
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Scoring is boring is written for teenagers who find it challenging to score well in studies and find mainstream subjects boring. This boredom keeps them from achieving their academic goals and enjoying their student lives. When they struggle with homework, their playtime is snatched. A low score keeps them grounded and away from friends. And don't forget the rituals of scolds and tantrums that exhaust both parents and kids. Parents have been struggling to find a solution to this problem for a long but only a few have succeeded. What if we believe that kids themselves can solve the problem if given proper direction? This book will guide your ordinary teenager and turn one into an extraordinary person who knows how to deal with life. The book is based on the premise that it’s not the learning that is boring but books, curriculums, and studies because of the pressure of scoring which is exhausting. If only we made studies interesting and meaningful, your kids can realize their true strengths, they would forge their own paths. They don’t need to be pushed but only propelled. The book will also help teenagers grow smarter in other areas socially, mentally, psychologically, and emotionally so they develop holistically. This book will create an extraordinary person who is the jack of all trades and the master of one. It has a set of self-discovery exercises and tested methods to help them realize their dreams by channelling their true potential.

Intelligent Credit Scoring
Author: Naeem Siddiqi
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119279151
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
A better development and implementation framework for credit risk scorecards Intelligent Credit Scoring presents a business-oriented process for the development and implementation of risk prediction scorecards. The credit scorecard is a powerful tool for measuring the risk of individual borrowers, gauging overall risk exposure and developing analytically driven, risk-adjusted strategies for existing customers. In the past 10 years, hundreds of banks worldwide have brought the process of developing credit scoring models in-house, while ‘credit scores' have become a frequent topic of conversation in many countries where bureau scores are used broadly. In the United States, the ‘FICO' and ‘Vantage' scores continue to be discussed by borrowers hoping to get a better deal from the banks. While knowledge of the statistical processes around building credit scorecards is common, the business context and intelligence that allows you to build better, more robust, and ultimately more intelligent, scorecards is not. As the follow-up to Credit Risk Scorecards, this updated second edition includes new detailed examples, new real-world stories, new diagrams, deeper discussion on topics including WOE curves, the latest trends that expand scorecard functionality and new in-depth analyses in every chapter. Expanded coverage includes new chapters on defining infrastructure for in-house credit scoring, validation, governance, and Big Data. Black box scorecard development by isolated teams has resulted in statistically valid, but operationally unacceptable models at times. This book shows you how various personas in a financial institution can work together to create more intelligent scorecards, to avoid disasters, and facilitate better decision making. Key items discussed include: Following a clear step by step framework for development, implementation, and beyond Lots of real life tips and hints on how to detect and fix data issues How to realise bigger ROI from credit scoring using internal resources Explore new trends and advances to get more out of the scorecard Credit scoring is now a very common tool used by banks, Telcos, and others around the world for loan origination, decisioning, credit limit management, collections management, cross selling, and many other decisions. Intelligent Credit Scoring helps you organise resources, streamline processes, and build more intelligent scorecards that will help achieve better results.

Simulations for Personnel Selection
Author: Michael Fetzer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 146147681X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of simulation development, technologies, and implementation, including real-world examples and results followed by a preview of what’s on the horizon that will further revolutionize the industry. More than a handful of books have been written on the use of simulations for training purposes, but this book focuses solely on simulations in employee selection contexts (e.g., hiring, promotion), making it a truly unique and valuable resource for both practitioners and academics. The science and practice of employee selection has advanced at a steady pace over the past two or three decades. However, recent advancements in both technology and assessment methods have been the catalyst for an evolutionary leap in the use of simulations in this area.
