Firewall
Firewall By: Jerry Robert Bain This is the story of how our species got smart, and emotionally driven. It uses common knowledge and common sense to speculate on how EVOLUTION could feed and shelter 7 billion people, build modern computers, the internet, AND Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha, Confucius, Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot. The UNDERLYING force of EVOLUTION, is ENTROPY because TIME is a CAUSE and EFFECT process with predictable CONSEQUENCES, - so we can use mental SIMULATION of the causes to anticipate how to change the future using observation, thinking, and experimenting. However, that was the EASY PART, because that chain of causation then gave us PURPOSE and INTELLIGENCE to achieve it by making us FIGHT among ourselves for millions of years till those left standing were SELF AWARE and able to use reason to define meaning and intelligent purpose in joining together as a SPECIES, to survive and prosper by LOVING each other, with shared JOY in OVERCOMING ENTROPY in a CYBER universe of our own. Jesus and the other prophets just opened the message that evolution had already coded in our genome.

Toll Road Traffic and Revenue Forecasts
Toll roads, bridges and tunnels represent the most popular class of infrastructure attracting international private finance today. Many deals, however, expose financiers, insurers and other project counterparties to demand risk. This moves traffic and revenue forecasts centre-stage in terms of being able to understand and test the investment proposition - yet the forecasting process itself often remains a mystery. Additionally, there are frequent concerns about predictive reliability. Written specifically for credit analysts, investors and other professionals whose primary expertise lies outside transportation, this book lifts the lid on the 'black box' of traffic and revenue forecasting. The author, Robert Bain (ex-S&P and a civil engineer with 20+ years of forecasting experience) has prepared a straightforward guide which highlights key issues to watch for and suggests ways in which the forecasts can be analysed to improve transparency and investor understanding.
Privately Financed Roads in Britain
'Privately Financed Roads in Britain: A Policy Assessment' critically examines the role of private finance in the construction, operation, maintenance and management of modern highways. The focus is on the UK's Private Finance Initiative (PFI) yet many of the lessons learned retain a currency in the context of international public-private partnerships. Separate chapters cover: Public Policy Objectives; Key Project-Level Risks (construction and traffic); Value for Money and Public Sector Comparators; The Financial Architecture of Private Sector Road Operating Companies; Strengths and Weaknesses of the Privately-Financed Roads Model; Alternative Debt/Equity Structuring; and Containing Private Financing Costs.
