Getting Your Presentation From The VGA Only Laptop To The Big HDMI Screen


I needed to project what was on my small laptop screen on to my Bigger Desktop Screen. The Problem was that the Laptop only has VGA and the Desktop only has HDMI.

The Solutions? A VGA to HDMI Upscaler with Audio. The Company StarTech produces just the item.

I only found out that a item like this existed when I worked as a Desktop Support Administrator for a Company that rented out Conference Room Space. Quite often customers would come in with VGA only Laptops and needed to Project on the Huge Flat Screen on the Conference Room Wall whicAh only had HDMI. The VGA HDMI Upcaler with Audio was the solution!

It was just good to know that when I needed Large Projections from any Laptop to an HDMI only enabled screen, The VGA HDMI Upscaler with Audio was a perfect solution.

It is important to note that where a smaller devices that have an VGA connection and a HDMI connection, BUT they do not project from your VGA Laptop to an HDMI Screen. It's important that you get a Upscaler from VGA to HDMI and that AUDIO is projected. This critical.

You can be presenting at a Conference or Meeting and need to project (with or without audio) what is on your Laptop to a Big Screen and wondering how to get this done. This may very well be the solution you need.

If you Laptop already has an HDMI port you are set without using the Upscaler in most cases, but if you only have a VGA connection, a VGA to HDMI Upscaler with Audio might be needed.

Enjoy!

Your Contacts




Your contacts are crucial. Gather up all of your business card and put them in a Contact Database such as where you receive your email. Make sure this program allows you to export them whenever you need to.

Remember the days of the Palm Pilot? I started out then collecting. I moved those contacts to my then Blackberry service and onto other services I used.

There are some programs like, Google's Gmail that will automatically add contacts you communicate with via email.  When these same contacts are added to programs such as MS Outlook and GMail or Social Media sites like LinkedIn, you will also see pictures when available of your contacts.

Some programs will even let you group contacts together so you can have a Group of Friends vs Business Associates within your Contact list. If you are using Google, this contact list with work well with their Google Voice Program as well allowing you to even have specific Voicemail Greetings for certain contacts.

If you are not digitizing those business cards or even capturing your contacts, start today!

For an example of Contact Management with Gmail see the below video:

Bank Custody - The Sub Custodian Network


Within the Global Bank Custody space is a key component, The Sub Custodian Network. As a  Global Custodian, you can have the best systems and best people to manage the client space but if your Sub Custodian Network is weak, this can cripple your business.

The settlement of securities and cash is heavily dependent on your Sub Custodian Network. These are the contacts overseas that ensure that your Cash and Securities settle on time.

You may find that all of your trades (cash and securities) are failing in a foreign market. It may be a time to ensure that your Network Management team is evaluating the service being provided by your Sub Custodian Network overseas. The scorecard show continually low marks, it may be time to change your Sub Custodian. Another Sub Custodian may be settling securities and cash in a more timely manner than the Sub Custodian you are currently using.

Why is this important? You Custody Clients.  If your client does not have an Investment Manager, they may decide to move the business to another Custodian. If your client does have an Investment Manager they may have the Manager move the business to another Custodian.

Again, you can have best systems and people, but your trades are failing in one market and no steps are being taking at the Network Management Level, you can lose the business. The clients may not be satisfied with,  "Settlement is slow in that market", particularly if they have an Investment Manager and find that other custodians are settling their trades in that market on time using a different Sub Custodian.  Your task at the Custodian Level is the make the steps if necessary to change the Sub Custodian and communicate the change to the client before the issue reaches a level that causes the client to move the business away from you.

There can be caste strophic issue with a constant failing Sub Custodian in a particular market.  Quite often your clients depend on the proceeds of a Sale of a foreign security  to fund a potential overdrawn currency balance. If the sale fails, the currency account never get funded unless it's a contractual account that funds the proceeds whether or not the sale settles.  Even in this case you may have to claim the interest earned in the foreign currency back from the client as "undue enrichment" if the failing trade was due to the client and not the sub custodian. These scenarios may happen in any event, but why not make sure your Sub Custodian Network is strong to eliminate that ever being a question?

Have a Strong Sub Custodian Network with a Network Management team rating the timeliness of settlement along with communicating changes to Settlement Instructions is critical to the custody business.
