Stamp Collection Expert for Cataloging & Market Valuation

I need someone who really knows stamps to take a look at the pictures of my stamp collection from, around the world. This stamp expert, called a philatelist will tell me what each stamp is and what it is worth today. I want to know the value of my worldwide stamp collection. I am looking for a stamp expert to do this for me. About the Collection: Estimated Size: Approximately 150 stamps. I have a bunch of stamps from around the world. The stamps are from lots of countries like India, Pakistan, Italy, USA, Canada, France, Germany, Austria, Kabul, Ceylon, China, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, England and the Netherlands. These stamps are really interesting because they are from such a range of places. The collection of stamps includes stamps from India stamps from Pakistan stamps from Italy stamps from USA stamps from Canada stamps from France stamps from Germany stamps from Austria stamps from Kabul stamps from Ceylon stamps from China stamps from Czechoslovakia stamps from Denmark stamps from England and stamps, from the Netherlands. I want to make it clear that the stamps I have are in bad shape. They are, in poor condition. I know this will lower their value. I am looking for an honest idea of what my stamps are worth. I want someone to tell me the value of my stamps. My Goal: I want to know what I actually have in my collection and find out what it is really worth. I do not need an insurance appraisal. What I am looking for is a list that tells me what each item is worth based on what kind of shape it is, in. I want to get a market value for my collection. Scope of Work: The person we choose to work with will: Receive high-resolution, clear photographs of all stamps (approximately 150), organized by country if possible. Identify each stamp (country, catalog number – e.g., Scott, Stanley Gibbons, Michel, Yvert). Be honest when you look at the condition. Note any problems you see like spots, creases, tears or big cancellation marks, on the stamps. I need to figure out how much each stamp is worth or groups of stamps like a bunch of used stamps from Germany that are in bad shape. The price I come up with has to be fair and take into account that the stamps are not in condition. I should look at what similar stampsre selling for in the real world like on eBay or at auctions, where they are selling stamps that are also damaged. I should not just use the prices that are listed in catalogs because those are for stamps that're in perfect condition. I want to find out what people are actually paying for stamps like these so I can give a price for the stamps or groups of stamps like a lot of 10 common used Germany stamps that are, in poor condition. Deliver a final, organized spreadsheet or document listing: Country, Description, Catalog #, Condition Notes, and Estimated Market Value. I want to point out the stamps that're really valuable even though they are not, in great shape. These stamps are worth a lot of money because of what they're not because of how they look. I will highlight the stamps that have a lot of value like the rare ones or the ones that are hard to find even if they are torn or worn out. The value of these stamps is what makes them special, not their condition. Freelancer Requirements: Proven experience in philately, specifically with classic worldwide stamps and experience valuing damaged material. Access to major stamp catalogs (Scott, Stanley Gibbons, Michel, etc.). Understanding of the market for common/used stamps in poor condition. Please include in your proposal: A brief summary of your experience with stamps from this era and region. Your proposed method for valuing stamps in poor condition. I can definitely work with the budget for this project which's 50€. The project budget of 50€ is something I am comfortable with. I will make sure to do my work, within the fixed project budget of 50€. An estimated timeline for completion. Project Budget: 50€ Fixed Price Skills Preferred: Philately, Stamp Collecting, Appraisal, Valuation, Research, Cataloging.

Data Annual Form 10-k

Overview Accountants must be familiar with the amount of data required in the Annual Form 10-K filing and the Annual Proxy filing for publicly traded companies because they will use the data from these filings to research a company’s competitors. Accountants can even use the data from these filings in their personal life to research investment opportunities. Scenario In this milestone, you will prepare a valuation for a 1% minority shareholder on the assumption that your company is a “going concern” company, meaning that the company will be able to pay its financial obligations as needed for the foreseeable future. Directions In this milestone, you will provide a brief history and overview of the company you selected. Use your company’s most recent Form 10-K filing and SEC Annual Proxy filing from The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) website to gather the information described in the rubric criteria. You will also provide a brief summary of your findings for your valuation team members and include a visualization in the summary. Note: Refer to this module’s Discussion for the list of companies to choose from. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Links Provide the most recent SEC Form 10-K filing link for the company. Provide the most recent SEC Proxy filing link for the company. History and Overview Provide a brief company history overview based on external research of the company. Consider the following questions to guide your response: How long has the company been in business? Who was the original founder of the company? What significant changes to company leadership have occurred? How has the company changed since its beginning? Consider expansion of locations or products/services, etc. Identify all of the company’s major locations for their facilities and/or other properties. Identify all of the customers recognized by the company. List all of the names of the executive management team of the company. Identify all of the competition recognized by the company. Identify all of the major shareholders of the company. Describe business risks recognized by the company. Explain how the company is committed to environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts and sustainability. Describe the company’s leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) status. Consider the following questions to guide your response: Is the company currently LEED certified? If the company is not currently LEED certificated, is it working toward becoming LEED certified? Summary Summarize your findings for the valuation team. Include the following details in your response: Explain what you learned as you researched the company. Identify the key points the valuation team needs to be aware of. Create at least one effective visualization that supports key points. Include the following detail in your response: Provide appropriate labels for the visualization(s). If you need writing support, access the Academic Support module of your course. What to Submit Submit the Business Valuation Template with the Milestone One: Introduction section completed. The Introduction section should be an additional 4- to 6-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins in addition to the current page count. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Note: You will be using this same file throughout all the milestones and your project. Supporting Materials The following resources support your work on this assignment: Website: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission This website allows users to search for a publicly traded company and find their published financial statements. Use this website to find your company’s 10-K filing.

Backend Engineer – Real Estate Valuation Engine + Web Scraping

We’re building a smart wealth‑management platform for real‑estate investors (off‑plan and ready properties), based in the UAE. Multiple backend projects are running in parallel (KPI cleanup, monthly performance snapshots, valuation). Your work will sit in the middle of these, so data quality and robustness matter a lot. We need a skilled Backend Engineer to tackle a crucial project: building our Valuation & Data Engine. This involves two main components: 1. Optimizing Web Scraping: We have an existing web scraper on an AWS EC2 instance that gathers property data from DXBinteract.com. This site does not offer an API, making robust web scraping essential. You will audit and optimize this system for reliability, performance, and data quality, ensuring it extracts clean, structured information (prices, areas, projects, developers, etc.) to feed our analytics. You'll also implement basic logging and monitoring. 2. Developing a Rule-Based Valuation Engine (V1): You will design and implement a transparent, rule-based engine to calculate the current market value of properties. This V1 engine will use our internal property data (purchase details, location, type) combined with market indicators derived from the scraped DXBinteract data. The engine should be configurable and explainable, not a black-box ML model. It will be implemented as an AWS Lambda (or similar service), providing an API for our Bubble app and other AWS services to consume valuation results and store historical data. Key Responsibilities - Review, improve, and maintain our existing DXBinteract web scraper on AWS EC2, focusing on reliability, data quality, and anti-bot measures. - Develop a deterministic, rule-based property valuation service using Python (or Node.js) on AWS Lambda. - Ensure the valuation engine integrates seamlessly with our Bubble application and other AWS backend services, providing accurate data for our KPI and snapshot projects. - Implement logging, monitoring, and clear configuration options for the scraper and valuation logic. We need a Backend Engineer with strong AWS experience (EC2, Lambda, CloudWatch, IAM) and proficiency in Python (or Node.js). Crucially, you must have a proven track record in building robust web scrapers for websites without APIs, ideally in real estate or finance. Experience with designing transparent pricing/valuation models and integrating with no-code platforms like Bubble is a plus. Deliverables (V1) - An optimized, reliable DXBinteract scraping pipeline that delivers structured data. - A functional, rule-based property valuation service, callable via API, that updates property values and maintains a valuation history. - Concise technical documentation covering setup, operation, and configuration of the scraper and valuation engine. Payment Terms (Important) We do not accept proposals that request 100% of the budget as an upfront deposit. We work on a milestone / “no cure, no pay” style basis: payment is released only for working, demonstrable deliverables.

Simple Power BI question

Hi, in the attached power bi I have a table with the colums: - Date - Code - Duration - Outstanding - Valuation I want to show a visual (I think a Matrix) where I can see the columns Code (text) and Duration (shown with 1 decimal). Then I want a group Outstanding, then under that (in headers) the date from Timing[Timing], then the date minus 3 months, then again date minus 3 more months, then again date minus 3 more months (so you have 4 dates, showing 1st date of quarter of 4 following quarters). Outstandingamounts shown as mln (/1000000) with 1 decimal. After duration, just like Outstanding I want to see a group with Valuation with the same 4 dates (also in mln, 1 decimal) After duration, I like to see a group LTV with the same 4 dates. It should show Outstanding/Valuation as % with 1 decimal (so like 44,5%) Please see the attachment.

Python Dev for Dubai Real Estate Market Notifications

We’re a UAE‑based SaaS startup building a wealth management platform for real estate investors (off‑plan focused). We want to add market activity notifications: investors should be told when something interesting happens in the community/project where their property is located (e.g. new listings, price changes). This project is not a full valuation system. It’s a small, focused backend service. 1. What You’ll Build - Lightweight Web Scraper (DXBInteract or similar) - Python script/service that fetches recent listings for a small, configurable list of Dubai communities / unit types. - Capture at least: community/project name, unit type (e.g. 1BR), size (sqft), price, listing date, URL/ID. - Runs on a schedule (daily or weekly) – AWS Lambda + CloudWatch schedule is ideal. 2. Market Activity Detection - Store simple aggregates per (community, unit_type) like: -- active listing count, -- average price per sqft, min/max, etc. - Compare current vs previous snapshot and detect events such as: -- “new listings spike”, -- “average PSF up/down more than X%”. 3. Notification Feed (Backend Only) - Expose a simple interface (API / Lambda handler) that, given community_id + unit_type, returns recent “events” with ready‑to‑use messages, e.g.: -- “5 new 1BR listings in Downtown this week.” -- “Avg price/sqft in your community rose 4% vs last month.” - We will handle showing these per investor in our Bubble app. Tech & Requirements - Strong Python experience (web scraping with requests / BeautifulSoup or similar). - Experience deploying code on AWS Lambda (or comfortable learning quickly). - Basic data modelling: store snapshots and compute simple deltas. - Clean, well‑structured code and clear documentation. Nice to have: - Prior work with real‑estate data or market scrapers. - Experience with rate‑limiting, error handling, and respectful scraping practices. Payment Terms (Important) We do not accept proposals that request 100% of the budget as an upfront deposit. We work on a milestone / “no cure, no pay” style basis: payment is released only for working, demonstrable deliverables.
