This is a girl who has everything going for her. They are very rare not only because of the rare name but because of the combination of excellent personality and beautiful physical features. They have a clouded past that can cause some problems but they are strong women who don't let the past get in the way of what's going well for them in the present. They have a weird sense of humor but when you get to know them, it grows on you and brings out the weirdness in you in a good way and before you know it, you have fallen in love with Erisa and you never want to let her leave. Having a banging body sure doesn't hurt either as an Erisa always will. If you meet one, snatch her up and never let her go because she will love you with all her heart.
Yo bro, I met this girl Erisa. She is so fine and cracks me up all the time. She's a keeper.

(U.S. GOVERNMENT) Employee Retirement Income Security Act (1974); federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established pension and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans.

Very important law was supposed to ensure that employer pension plans were (a) managed by qualified, ethical people, and (b) those people did not take excessive risks with the funds paid into the pensions.

ERISA was subsequently weakened by a Department of Labor ruling in 1978 that allowed pension fund managers to invest in riskier types of portfolios. At the same time this occurred, financial managers were stuck with negative real interest rates, and high inflation. So there was an urgent need for financial vehicles with high yield.

As a result, pension fund money flowed into the new hedge funds and junk bonds.

Another major change to ERISA was the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA-1986) allows workers recently unemployed from a job to keep their group health insurance coverage for a limited period of time.

ERISA regulations for vesting pension benefits were watered down during the '90's, resulting in massive risk taking and erosion of income security for middle class Usonians.
Because the 1978 changes in federal policy were correlated with the flows of venture capital while the 1986 change was not, it seems reasonable to infer than the ERISA ruling was probably more important than the reduction in the capital gains tax in stimulating the flow of venture capital in 1978.

{William D. Bygrave, Jeffry A. Timmons, *Venture capital at the crossroads* Harvard (1992), p.272}

In most years since 1986, Congress has passed revisions to ERISA; during this time, voluntary pension funds have become a tool of economic policy management.

Elisabetta 

A wonderful, mysterious deeply intelligent creature. Untrusting and immensely private, she is beautiful and kind. Upsetting her could well result in (at least) the loss of a considerable volume of blood. Don't consider deliberately pissing her off without considering the question "can I survive without a major limb?".

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
