The new book, "The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend" — which Dalio and his lawyers have pushed back against — describes everything from Bridgewater's investment process to internal grudges and backstabbing to allegations of sexual harassment. Here are the places where the dozens of Bridgewater employees and consultants named in the book ended up. Dalio, the book said, wrote into the firm's bylaws that he could never hold that title again. Before that, she was the head of investment research and a co-chief investment officer for sustainability. He's worked at different funds since leaving in 2006, including Larch Lane Advisors and Bonaccord Capital as an investor and business-development professional.

Cu un volum total de peste 42.000 de metri cubi, echivalentul a 17 bazine olimpice de înot, Blue Abyss ţinteşte către titlul de „cea mai adâncă piscină interioară din lume”, scrie mediafax.ro. Blue Abyss, construită de compania britanică ce poartă acelaşi nume, va avea o adâncime de 50 de metri. Potrivit estimărilor Daily Mail, piscina va măsura pe verticală aproximativ jumătate din mărimea Turnului Elizabeth din Westminster, care găzduieşte celebrul Big Ben. După cum se vede şi în imaginile publicate recent, piscina va fi construită în interiorul unei clădiri aparte, în formă de lacrimă, proiectată de arhitectul britanic Robin Partington. Recordul mondial pentru cea mai adâncă piscină este deţinut de Deepspot din Mszczonów, Polonia, care are o adâncime de 45 de metri şi a fost deschisă în noiembrie 2020.
