International Human Resource Managements Multiple Definitions Commerce Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Culture has had multiple definitions and according to Schein (1985) "Culture can be defined as the interweaving of the individual into a community and the collective programming of the mind that distinguishes members from one group from another. It is the values, norms, beliefs and customs that an individual holds common with members of a social group or unit". Hofstede (1988) also identified two main elements of culture which are internal values of culture and external values of culture. He described the internal values as invisible and the external values of culture as observable through practices such as greetings, words and gestures used as well as heroes observable in television etc.(Hofstede, 1998). We are not born with a certain culture but we grow into the culture that surrounds us without being conscious of the values, norms, beliefs that have been conditioned into our mindset in particular during childhood. In other words what each individual perceives as appropriate within a social or work context is a product of the many factors surrounding us. Quite commonly an individual is actually not aware of how many cultural surroundings have conditioned him/ her until the individual has to leave these familiar surroundings and live within a different culture (Dowling, Welch, 2004). This can result in a culture shock which can be moderate during short trips but may have an immense impact for an individual having to live and work and these new cultural surrounding. This culture shock may have critical implications for MNE sending employees to other countries which in the worst case scenario could cause an early return home and therefore to an expatriate failure.
Awareness of different cultures and the implications it may have are therefore very important, in particular for Multinational Enterprises (MNE) and IHRM. This is due to the fact that they are conducting business in different countries and hiring or moving employees from their different business locations to one another. Hofstede (1983) stated "The national and regional differences are not disappearing[...]these differences may become one of the most crucial problems for management-in particular for the management of multinational, multicultural organizations, whether public or private". Ignorant behavior or insensitivity toward culture differences have been named the reason and caused many failures for international businesses in the past (Dowling, Welch, 2004).
In general HR practices and policies would have been developed in the parent country, which of course would be suitable to the parent country culture. These practices need to be adjusted to take into account the cultural surroundings while at the same time maintaining an alignment with the desired corporate strategy and corporate culture while operating in different countries (Schneider, 1988). All HR practices and areas like recruitment selection, training, performance appraisal, remuneration, type of management style and motivation may need to be approached differently depending on the country and type of industry.
Awareness is also critical in order for IHRM to decide if expatriates should be used on an assignment or if a HCN or even a TCN would be more appropriate for assignment type and the cultural surroundings etc.
Hofstede (1988) argued that in particular nationality is a very important factor for management and he named three reasons for this. The first reason he claims is a political reason, due to the fact that each nationality has its own encompassing history, education system, legal system, labour and government systems etc. The second reason he thinks are sociological factor, which he believes has great symbolism for people within a nation. According to Hofstede, each individual defines him/herself belonging to a region or nation because it is part of their identity which in times of war will make them want to fight for their country. The third reason he thinks is psychological, and refers to the way that culture has been conditioned into our mindset through the surroundings of upbringing and experiences.
The differences between HR and IHR management, are not as apparent on first glance as they both encompass the general HR activities defined by Dowling(2004) as human resource planning, Staffing , Performance management, Training and development, Compensation & Benefits and Labour relations (Dowling, Welch, 2004). These activities basically increase and get more complex for a company operating internationally and therefore pose a different challenge for IHRM.
Dowling argues that the following outlined factors contribute to the increased complexity of IHR activities which include more hr activities, the need for a broader perspective, greater involvement in employees life, changes in emphasis as the workforce mix of expatriates and locals varies, greater risk exposure and broader external influences.
Hr activities are increased for IHRM due to the fact that the administrative task like selection of expatriate, relocating, pre departure training, legal formalities such as visa applications or international tax advice, provision of housing, organising schooling arrangements, arranging compensation packages and services to support expatriates would not occur in a domestic hr department (Dowling, Welch, 2004). IHRM needs to provide this supportive network in order to ensure that expatriates assignments runs as smoothly as possible and that outside factors like a cultural shock does not lead to expatriate failure. Relocating overseas can be a stressful experience for expatriates and their families and IHRM support can make or break such a situation. Providing a greater supportive network for expatriates means simultaneously a greater involvement in the personal life of employees including but not limited to the activities listed above.
As already outlined earlier, a person travelling to a new cultural environment may experience a "culture shock". Four phases of cultural adjustment outlined the different stage expatriates (or any other person in a new cultural surrounding) are possible to experience (Cieri, Dowling, Taylor, 1991). The first phase is the Tourist phase; the new culture leaves positive and negative impressions on the individual. The second phase is where the actual culture shock takes place and which leads to negative feelings towards the culture and is likely to cause expatriate failure if it prolongs. The third phase is called the "pulling up" where the individual starts to adjust to the surroundings again. Last but not least the fourth phase is called "the adjustment". During this phase the expatriate will start to recover from the initial culture shock experienced and every day life will start to normalise.
The need for a broader perspective also arises from the fact that IHRM is dealing with employees from various national backgrounds regarded as parent country national (PCN), Host country national (HCN) and Third country national (TCN). Equalities issues may arise due to the very regular view to pay PCN or TCN a premium for working overseas whereas HCN are likely not to be considered for such premiums. IHRM needs to be aware of possible equality issues when it comes to organising and structure policies within an IHR department. IHRM activities have a higher risk exposure due to the fact that an expatriate failure would result in vaster cost compared to domestic HR activities as an expatriate position may cost three times as much as a HCN position due to relocation, premium, training cost etc (Dowling, Welch, 2004). as well as invisible cost such as damaged relationships with subsidiaries or business partners. A possibility for terror threats may be another factor for greater risk depending on the location of subsidiary.
Greater external influence for IHRM may occur where governments dictate labour laws to increase opportunities for minority as was the case in Malaysia during the 1970 according to Dowling and Welch (2004). IHRM must spent more time of understanding and interpreting the way business is conducted in less developed areas where regulations is less strict and maybe quicker overcome compared to other countries (Dowling, Welch, 2004).
Hofstede (1983) defined that natural culture is compromised of four dimensions which include Power distance, Individualism/ Collectivism, Masculinity/ Femineity and Uncertainty.
Power Distance (PD) refers to the way of how a society handles inequalities within the culture. Being aware of power distance is important in terms of hiring, recruitment structure, selection process, training style, type of management style but also how the company structures its organisation. In a low PD country like the US, employees are selected on the basis of educational or past performance achievements (Cullen, Parboteeah, 2005). Contrarily a country with high power distance will select on the basis of social background and at which University a degree was obtained. For example Japanese companies tend to hire employees fresh from university with a generalist education/ background (Beechler, Yang, 1994 p. 479), with is a suitable fit to the company and will receive extensive on the job training. A low PD country will usually adopt a participative leadership style which effectively also flattens the organisations traditional pyramid. If a US based company would operate in a high PD country, a manager would be expected to be an authoritarian leader who will supervise employees closely. This will also influences training style of employees. Compliance and obedience would be a key point in high PD countries.
In an individualistic country the cultural belief is that "competition allows the most qualified individual to get the job" (John B Cullen, K Praveah Parboteah, 2005). A highly Individual country like the US (Hofstede, 2009), believes that every individual is responsible for themselves (Cullen, Parboteeah, 2005). Whereas collectivistic countries view the group they belong to as a definition of their identity in which they will be protected and reach decisions. This will impact the conduction of training and performance appraisals. In Japan the training of an employee will be regarded as an investment to the company (John B Cullen, K Praveah Parboteah, 2005) whereas further on the job training in the US is perceived as enhancing personal skills and traits which may be an advantage for their career. Performance appraisals in the US is based on meritocracy, being higher rewarded for better performance(John B Cullen, K Praveah Parboteah, 2005 p. 447) and is usually desired for individual performance. In collectivist countries formal performance appraisals are less desirable as the team usually knows the low performers within a group and Japanese supervisors may just ignore badly performer as a from of indirect feedback(Cullen, Parboteeah, 2005 p. 449).
In a masculine country, like Japan gender roles are clearly distinguished and work take priority before duties such as family life (Cullen, Parboteeah, 2005). The well recited "lifetime employment' in Japanese firms is actually only for men (Cullen, Parboteeah, 2005 p. 442) as women are expected to leave employment at 25 years of age or work part time (Cullen, Parboteeah, 2005 p. 57). Especially in higher ranking roles in Japan are dominated by men (Tomoko, 2008). In the US work is less centralised and "worklife balance" is promoted to increase quality of life of employees. The distinctions of female and male roles within a company are not as apparent due to a higher female employee's participation rate and greater job opportunities. This is important for filling vacancies but also what a company should provide in terms of childcare facilities, flexible work arrangements etc.
In a culture with high uncertainty avoidance (UA) like Japan (Hofstede, 1983), risky situations are upsetting people, therefore rules structures and guidelines are very important and followed by employees. An employee would not expect to reach decisions individually from the group. In the US (Cullen, Parboteeah, 2005) which is rated as a low UA culture, the managerial prerogative is very important. However employees are encouraged to take initiative and take on responsibility to stick out of the crowd to enhance their career. This has great implications on the management style, training and the way work procedures are organised within a company.
In conclusion, yes the cultural environment can be called a key variable which moderates differences between domestic and international human resource management. Moderate is not supposed to be mistaken for reducing but rather putting emphasis on the differences. Even though human resources practices within country borders have acknowledged and embraced the necessary idea of encouraging and managing cultural diversity, IHRM has to deal with cultural diversity on a grander scale. A lot of research has been conducted into cultural differences and similarities, which are important to be aware of when it comes to operating efficient and effectively across borders with a multitude of stakeholder from different backgrounds. However there can be no one step to step guide which could easily be used when dealing with people from different cultures, as culture is moving and ever changing within cultures itself. Certain identified generalised cultural behaviour patterns, discovered through past research projects like Hofstede but also past experiences of MNE can serve as guidance and assist IHRM to deal with the greatest challenge, simply people.

IDK, if the NoPA part of the Western Addition is so hot hot hot lately, you'd think that this space at 803 Divisadero near Fulton would have gotten a lease deal going by now.
The sign what's still in the window:
Before, it was Film Yard Video (parting shot: "NETFLIX IS EVIL!"), then it was a illegal condo/supposed tarot reading place (you know, yet another one of those joints), and now it's a black hole sucking energy from the "DivCo" "Streetscape" just south of North of NoPA.
(Oh what's that, you're not interested 'cuz you want to run a full-on restaurant? Well, 1751 Fulton is just around the corner (sort of ) and it's still available after years and years of slumber. But instead of $6k per month, it would run you $18k…)
Here's the news of the day:

Basically, the Tu-95 is the Soviet version of Boeing's iconic B-52 bomber, except it has turboprops (instead of jet engines)and it's a narrowbody, you know, for speed.
One wonders why our Ukrainian comrades don't offer to just fly the thing to the highest bidder. Oh, what, it's not in flying condition? Uh oh.
Anyway, have at it, buy it and see just how big of a drain this обтяжливе майно (l'oliphant blanc) will be on your finances.

I think so. Like this place with a parking space is going for less than $100k, plus co-op fess of $300-something a month, which wouldn't even cover the rent for a parking space where I live.

Update June 17, 4:25 PM EST: The results are in and the winner is projected to be New Democracy at 29.5% of the vote, Syriza 27.1% and PASOK 12.3%.
Father's Day will be celebrated today in the U.S. but in Greece it is election day!
For the global economy these elections in Greece represent something of a watershed event that very well could determine, at least for the near-term, the direction that the economies of the EU, the U.S. the U.K. and the rest of the world will be heading in.
While victory by the New Democracy party will likely mean that Greece will opt to at least pay lip service to the fact that they will abide by prescribed austerity measures and thus remain in the EU, that is by no means a victory to be wildly celebrated as Greece is moving quickly in the direction of becoming an economic lost cause.
Victory by Syriza, on-the-other-hand, would likely have swift and negative repercussions for the country and the rest of the world.
Not exactly a situation with win-win characteristics by any means, but as the media around the globe intently focus on the ramifications of the election tomorrow, what does the election and current conditions in Greece mean to the average Greek citizen?
This is an excerpt from an article written by Greek columnist Nikos Konstandaras in the Guardian that addresses the mindset of the Greek people:
"...The world may be watching Sunday's elections in Greece with fascination and awe, as one would approach the scene of an accident before the rescue workers arrive, understanding that the vote could push Greece out of the euro and trigger a series of unforeseen consequences for the eurozone and the global economy.
For we Greeks, though, this is a purely domestic affair. The pressures of meeting our creditors' demands for austerity and reform in exchange for life-supporting loans are straining society to breaking point. The vote will stand as a memorial to the breakdown of our political system, so we have too much on our plates to be overly concerned with how others see us.
We are voting because our political parties could not find the courage to work together in the face of a dire national crisis after the inconclusive 6 May election. Then, they could not even agree on the terms of a televised debate. Now, before Sunday's vote, these masters of diplomacy and compromise who cannot talk to each other all promise to renegotiate successfully the terms of our bailout deal with increasingly frustrated partners in the EU and the IMF..."

Chennai, Oct 9 (UNI) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President M Karunanidhi today appealed to all political parties in the State to sink their differences over the Sri Lankan Tamils issue and rally unitedly to put an end to the sufferings of the Tamils.
In a message, in the form of a poem, Mr Karunanidhi said the need of the hour was for all political parties in the State to put behind their differences in their approach to the ethnic issue in Sri Lanka.
He said it was unfortunate that when the Tamils all over the world had appreciated the efforts taken by the DMK Government and were unanimous for a peaceful settlement to the Tamils problem, political parties were divided (on the issue) in the State.
Mr Karunanidhi also commended the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre for extending a hand of support to the efforts taken by the State Government to save the Tamils in the island.
Referring to Manmohan Singh Government summoning the Sri Lankan High Commissioner in Delhi and lodging its protest over the attacks on Tamils, the DMK leader pointed out ''the Centre has opened its door for help after hearing cries from Tamil Nadu to save the Tamils in Sri Lanka.'' He said the State Governments efforts to put an end to the sufferings of Tamils in the island received commendation from Norway Tamil Sangam, London Parliament Committee, a Physician in America, Sri Lankan Minister Senathiraja, MP and North America Tamil Sangam.

It may seem a little bizarre that a driver who owns a winery and is married to a European supermodel would drive a car sponsored by Wal-Mart, but according to Sports Business Journal, the retail giant is "deep into negotiations" with Hendrick Motorsports to sponsor Jeff Gordon's car in 2011.
"It's very significant," said Mark Dyer, senior vice president at IMG and formerly chief of the licensing division at NASCAR until 2007. "We tried for years to get Wal-Mart's attention when I was at NASCAR and we made some inroads. If they truly decide to take a position in the sport, that's a big deal to get a company that should have been in that space all along."
It does make you wonder why Wal-Mart hasn't been involed in NASCAR, given that – wait for it – much of NASCAR's core demographic is Wal-Mart's target audience. But Wal-Mart's advertising budget has consistently been a lower part of their operating budget than their competitors.
It's possible that part of Wal-Mart's sponsorship could be opened up to the store's vendors, raising some interesting scenarios. Sources told Sports Business Journal that six official NASCAR consumer package goods sponsors had a meeting to talk about a retail strategy for Wal-Mart. Two of those, Mars and MillerCoors, currently sponsor cars in the Sprint Cup Series (Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch, though in 2011 the Miller deal moves to Brad Keselowski) and Coca-Cola is a direct competitor to Pepsi, which is still associated with Gordon.
Wal-Mart was not present, but sources said the consumer packaged goods marketing executives met to discuss ways to take national programs to Wal-Mart, with the belief that the retail giant is close to finalizing sponsorship and merchandising agreements to enter NASCAR.
"We've never been able to put together a national program with Wal-Mart," said one source familiar with the talks. "A multivendor campaign, which would be exclusive to NASCAR partners, would put more weight behind it."
The meeting, which took place just outside of Wal-Mart's headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., was described as an all-day brainstorming session to form plans for a 2011 promotion that would be exclusive to NASCAR official partners.
Of course, the deal is far from official and could ultimately fall apart. But either way, sponsorship activation seems to be the key phrase for the future, given the partnerships and marketing opportunities a potential Wal-Mart sponsorship affords. Budweiser has already said that despite sponsoring 20 races for Kevin Harvick and Richard Childress in 2011 that it will be spending as much as it did for Kasey Kahne in 2010 thanks to increased spending on activation.

Coloradans ponder Amendment 69's ColoradoCare
Just a couple observations from a primary care physician:
A single payer system may be the answer and having it paid for by taxes may be the answer but it will be a disaster if it is only in one state. If one relatively small geographic area decides to give "free" and good quality care where do you think patients will go? If that same area pays providers less than their overhead where will the providers go? This is a set-up for an exodus of providers and massive immigration of extraordinarily expensive patients from the rest of the country.
Medicare comments above are interesting. Medicare appears to be good insurance now because access is still reasonable. The care of medicare patients is subsidized by insured patients. Medical clinics and hospitals can't keep doors open at medicare rates.
Higher prices here locally are partly just scale but are also what allow our hospital to maintain a broad scope of quality services. For a small town it is remarkable to have the facility and specialty care we have here. There is a tipping point where it is no longer worth it, but that's a complicated discussion, especially considering that a flight to Denver is 30 grand that we'd prefer to avoid for premature infants and severe nosebleeds etc. I want the ER physician to be in the hospital when I show up with chest pain at 2 am.
Lots of problems, few good solutions

I agree with the jist of the article, that regular wellness exams are important and that men are less likely to participate in regular wellness. It is however more than a little disappointing to see the extensive plug for the VNA and no mention of the other primary care clinics in town providing excellent primary care and preventative care. The quality physicians at Yampa Valley Medical Associates, Steamboat Family Medicine and my clinic, Steamboat Medical, all provide comprehensive wellness care and we encourage both men and women to be seen regularly.

Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Naxalbari
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Naxalbari was an underground Maoist political party in India. The party had its roots partially in the Maoist Unity Centre, CPI(ML) and partially in the group of Rauf in Andhra Pradesh.
MUC, CPI(ML) was formed when Kerala Communist Party and Maharashtra Communist Party merged in 1997. These two groups were surviving state units of the Central Reorganisation Committee, CPI(ML) (which was dissolved in 1991). CRC, CPI(ML) is also the group from which Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Red Flag broke away, after the Red Flag split in 1987 there was not much left of the CRC, CPI(ML).
Rauf was the leader of the small Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Red Flag unit in Andhra Pradesh. Large parts of the leadership of Rauf's faction were killed in police raids in the 1980s, and the group never recovered. Rauf had been pushing for an ultraleft line within Red Flag, and in 2000 he split. After the merger with CPI(ML) Naxalbari (formerly MUC, CPI(ML)) Rauf became the general secretary for the unified party.
CPI(ML) Naxalbari were members of Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (a Maoist 'international') and CCOMPOSA. The RIM-membership was inherited from CRC, CPI(ML), which was one of three founding organisations of RIM.
CPI(ML) advocated armed struggle and they only recognised groups such as Communist Party of India (Maoist) as truly communist.
On 1 May 2014 CPI(ML) Naxalbari merged with CPI(Maoist) and formed a single party, CPI(Maoist).[1]

Bob Cooper Disclosure Liability in Investor Relations: Managing the Risk
2 Summary Investor relations professionals are exposed to personal liability for actions taken during the course of employment. There is a risk of both enforcement action for violation of securities legislation and exposure to civil liability through secondary market claims. These risks can be managed by understanding where you are vulnerable to regulatory action and by ensuring that your disclosure policies are comprehensive and applied with due diligence.
3 Securities Legislation "investor relations activities" means any activities or oral or written communications, by or on behalf of an issuer or security holder of the issuer, that promote or reasonably could be expected to promote the purchase or sale of securities of the issuer, but does not include: b)Activities or communications necessary to comply with the requirements of i.this Act or the regulations, or ii.the bylaws, rules or other regulatory instruments of a self regulatory body, exchange or quotation and trade reporting system,
4 "officer" "officer" means the chair or a vice chair of the board of directors, the president, a vice president, the secretary, an assistant secretary, the treasurer, an assistant treasurer, the general manager and any other individual appointed an officer of a corporation or acting in a capacity similar to those specified offices on behalf of an issuer or registrant"
5 Special Relationships 3.Definition of special relationships – For the purposes of sections 86 and 136, a person is in a special relationship with a reporting issuer if the person b)is engaging in or is proposing to engage in any business or professional activity with or on behalf of the reporting issuer … c)Is a director, officer or employee of the reporting issuer … d)knows of a material fact or of a material change with respect to the reporting issuer, having acquired the knowledge while in a relationship described in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) with the reporting issuer
6 Agency 155. Offences generally – (1) A person who does any of the following commits an offence: … 4.If a person, other than an individual, commits an offence under subsection (1), an employee, officer, director or agent of that person who authorizes, permits or acquiesces in the offence commits the same offence whether or not that person is convicted of the offence.
7 Agency – cont'd 168.2 Contraventions attributable to employees, officers, directors and agents - (1) If a person, other than an individual, contravenes a provision of this Act or of the regulations, or fails to comply with a deicsion, an employee, officer, director or agent of the person who authorizes, permits or acquiesces in the contravention or non-compliance also contravenes the provisions or fails to comply with the decision, as the case may be.
8 Secondary Market Civil Liability Regime – General Overview Private statutory civil right of action for purchasers and sellers of securities who buy or sell securities during a period that an uncorrected misrepresentation is included in various categories of publicly filed documents or public oral statements Private statutory civil right of action for purchasers and sellers of securities who buy or sell securities during a period that a responsible issuer fails to disclose a material change that should have been disclosed under securities laws
9 Secondary Market Civil Liability Regime – General Overview – cont'd Action for misrepresentation in publicly filed document – potential defendants include responsible issuer, directors, officers involved in a decision to release document and influential persons who knowingly influenced release of document Action for misrepresentation in public oral statement – potential defendants include responsible issuer, person making statement, directors and officers involved in decision to release statement and influential persons who knowingly influenced release of statement
10 Secondary Market Civil Liability Regime – General Overview – cont'd Action for failure to disclose material change – potential defendants include responsible issuer and officers, directors and influential persons who knowingly influenced non-disclosure The relevant period of liability starts on the date that disclosure is made containing a misrepresentation or responsible issuer should have disclosed a material change and ends when proper disclosure is made correcting the misrepresentation or omission
11 Secondary Market Civil Liability Regime – Application of Regime Secondary market liability applies in respect of "responsible issuers", i.e. reporting issuers in a jurisdiction or issuers with a real and substantial connection to that jurisdiction Shareholders of non-Canadian issuers may pursue actions in Canadian courts
12 Secondary Market Civil Liability Regime – Core Documents v. Non-Core Documents "Core documents" for all potential defendants include prospectuses, all types of circulars, MD&A, AIFs and annual and interim financial statements Material change reports are only "core documents" for responsible issuer and officers "Non-core documents" include press releases and, in the case of potential defendants other than responsible issuer and officers, material change reports
13 Secondary Market Civil Liability Regime – Burdens of Proof For "core documents", plaintiff need not prove that there was fraud or negligence in making misrepresentation/failure to disclose – onus is on defendant to establish due diligence (i.e. reasonable investigation) or other defence For "non-core documents", plaintiff must show that misrepresentation/failure to disclose was made knowlingly or recklessly or otherwise as a result of "gross misconduct"
14 Consequences for Investor Relations Important to have more involvement in public statements, disclosure judgments and document preparation Must clearly define the extent of responsibility for particular categories of documents in disclosure policy More responsibility for content of public statements, formation of materiality judgments and due diligence procedures Backup certification procedure not necessarily germane or practical for every type of document
15 "Reasonable Investigation" Legislation enumerates a non-exhaustive list of factors, including: nature of issuer knowledge, experience and function of the defendant adequacy of systems in place for disclosure reasonableness of relying on system reasonableness of relying on officers/employees responsibility of the person making the misrepresentation
16 "Reasonable Investigation" – cont'd At a practical level a "reasonable investigation" will likely turn on: what internal analysis preceded the disclosure/omission to disclose? were appropriate officers, managers and advisers involved? what outside advice was sought and was it followed? was the disclosure/omission made hastily under time pressure? were internal compliance standards/systems followed? was all of the above documented so as to be provable in a meaningful way?
17 Recommendations – Written Disclosure Policy and Disclosure Procedures Policies and procedures will assist in avoiding misrepresentations and failures to make timely disclosure Policies and procedures will assist in establishing due diligence defence: person or company conducted or caused to be conducted a reasonable investigation and no reasonable grounds to believe that the document contained the misrepresentation Important for Multi-lateral Instrument 52-109
18 Recommendations – Presentations and Public Oral Statements Calls and other presentations should be scripted and reviewed after delivery and any misrepresentations or selective disclosure should be corrected Keep records of presentations and oral statements For forward-looking information, must have a reasonable basis for making a forecast or projection
19 Recommendations – Forward-looking Information In addition to having a reasonable basis: i.include reasonable cautionary language ii.Identify information as forward-looking and identify material factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from forecast or projection iii.state material factors or assumptions applied in drawing conclusion or making a forecast or projection
20 Recommendations – Reviewing New Developments and Competitors' Disclosure Policies and procedures should assign responsibility to person(s) for keeping informed regarding developments in case law and securities commission enforcement proceedings affecting disclosure practices as well as reviewing disclosure of competitors Responsible person(s) should report to disclosure committee (or in the absence of such a committee, to CEO and CFO) periodically and promptly in event of any major development in the law or practices
21 Recommendations – Documenting Document Preparation Process In order to establish reasonable investigation, procedures establishing steps to be taken should be in place and there should be some record that they were followed, and the process conducted in connection with preparation of disclosure documents should be documented Consider having documents reviewed, prior to release, by someone uninvolved with preparation who can look at it the way it will be looked at by the public

Silent infarction in women:
The daily stress, overwork, the genetic inheritance and a host of other reasons are linked to the high number of episodes of infarction in women. Compounding this scenario, the silent infarction may catch them by surprise, which makes its early detection.
In women, the disease can occur without generating its typical symptoms, which are chest pain and malaise.
Those who have a family history of heart disease should regularly consult your doctor in order to avoid possible problems.
silent myocardial http://articlewritter.com/article.php?id=18588#.U7twm0B4fcs
In women, the infarction may occur without the presence of any known symptom. Photo: Shutterstock
The silent infarction is considered one of the leading causes of death among women. The reasons that make them more prone to this type of pathology are not yet fully known.
Hormone http://www.articlepac.com/article.php?id=36
It is estimated that a major cause of disease in women is the hormone produced by the ovaries, estrogen. This is because it has a vasodilating effect in the body, which causes becomes a stimulating nerves in the manufacture of proteins associated with resistance to the pain mechanism.
Another possible cause of the greater propensity of women suffer silent infarction is the form that gives the distribution of nerves in the body. Whereas in males the branches radiate to the breast, in women this distribution is directed to the back and the abdomen.
The female infarction is also associated with obesity , high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, physical inactivity and smoking. Women who fall into any of these conditions have six times greater risk of being affected by a silent infarction.
Symptoms of silent infarction
When the silent infarction occurs in women younger than 55 years, he does not manifest with typical chest pain and malaise , but with weakness, nausea, pain in the jaw, the neck, stomach and back or difficulty to breathe. http://www.euarticles.us/article/melanie-addington-review-how-fat-free-products-consume
The infarction may still occur without the presence of any symptom. This table is given by the circulatory estrogen protection factor of women, which lowers the threshold of pain felt by them.
The circulatory system is also responsible for female aggravate this condition. To be more sensitive and fragile than men, female heart attack becomes more aggressive and dangerous.
The risk of stroke is increased when they are in constant stress, take a pill or have complications during pregnancy, such as eclampsia (convulsions small).
Because these symptoms are not directly related to a clinical emergency situation, the women are not looking for medical help immediately, which impairs early diagnosis .
With this, the chosen therapy is usually less aggressive and with the delay in the initiation of treatment, may be an increase in deaths due to silent infarction.
This delay in identifying the problem is considered as the main reason for cause of heart attack and other diseases such as stroke (Stroke) - this is the major cause of death and cardiovascular disability in the female audience. Therefore, all women, after menopause, should consult a cardiologist at least once a year.

Etiological and clinical characteristics of central diabetes insipidus in children: a single center experience
- Janel D. Hunter1 and

DOI: 10.1186/s13633-016-0021-y

Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) results from a number of conditions affecting the hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal system to cause vasopressin deficiency. Diagnosis of CDI is challenging, and clinical data and guidelines for management are lacking. We aim to characterize clinical and radiological characteristics of a cohort of pediatric patients with CDI.
A chart review of 35 patients with CDI followed at North Carolina Children's Hospital from 2000 to 2015 was undertaken. The frequencies of specific etiologies of CDI and characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were determined. The presence of additional hormone deficiencies at diagnosis and later in the disease course was ascertained. Patient characteristics and management strategies were evaluated.
The cohort included 14 female and 21 male patients with a median age of 4.7 years (range, less than 1 month to 16 years) at diagnosis. Median duration of follow-up was 5 years (range, 2 months to 16 years). The cause of CDI was intracranial mass in 13 patients (37.2 %), septo-optic dysplasia in 9 patients (25.7 %), holoprosencephaly in 5 patients (14.2 %), Langerhans cell histiocytosis in 3 patients (8.6 %), isolated pituitary hypoplasia in 2 patients (5.7 %), and encephalocele in 1 patient (2.9 %). Patients were symptomatic for a mean of 6.3 months (range, less than 1 month to 36 months) prior to diagnosis of CDI. Growth hormone (GH), thyrotropin (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and gonadotropin deficiencies were present at diagnosis in 34, 23, 23, and 6 % of patients, respectively. GH, TSH, ACTH, and gonadotropin deficiencies were diagnosed during follow-up in 23, 40, 37, and 14 % of patients, respectively. In patients with structural CNS abnormalities, development of additional hormone deficiencies occurred anywhere from 2 months to 13 years after the time of initial presentation.
All patients in our cohort had an underlying organic etiology for CDI, with intracranial masses and CNS malformations being most common. Therefore, MRI of the brain is indicated in all pediatric patients with CDI. Other pituitary hormone deficiencies should be investigated at diagnosis as well as during follow-up.
KeywordsDiabetes insipidus Hypopituitarism Vasopressin Magnetic resonance imaging
CDI presents a number of diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The diagnosis may be delayed during evaluation for more common etiologies of polydipsia and polyuria, and often requires formal water deprivation testing [1]. After the diagnosis of CDI is confirmed, further work-up to determine the etiology of CDI and to assess for additional pituitary hormone deficiencies is necessary; however, clear guidelines for which laboratory and imaging studies to obtain and at what intervals to repeat these investigations are lacking.
The mainstay of therapy for CDI is desmopressin (DDAVP), a synthetic analog of arginine vasopressin with an extended duration of action; however, education of patients and caregivers regarding the safe use of DDAVP is essential to minimize risks of water-intoxication and hyponatremia. Risks of DDAVP-associated hyponatremia are increased in neonates, in patients without an intact thirst mechanism, and in patients requiring high-volume intravenous fluid hydration for chemotherapy. Given the number of diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with CDI, we performed a retrospective chart review of a cohort of pediatric patients with CDI followed at the North Carolina Children's Hospital (NCCH) in order to describe our experience and to contribute further to generalizable knowledge about the diagnosis and management of CDI.
The study was approved by the University of North Carolina Institutional Review Board, and conducted in compliance with the Helsinki Declaration. The NCCH electronic medical record was reviewed in order to identify all patients with CDI followed in pediatric endocrinology clinic. All patients that have been evaluated for management or diagnosis of CDI in the past year were included. Extracted data included patient characteristics (age, gender, race), duration of clinical symptoms prior to diagnosis in those presenting with CDI, pituitary hormone laboratory evaluation, family history, neuroimaging study results, and pathology findings. Management strategies were also reviewed.
The frequencies of various etiologies of CDI as well as characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were determined. CDI was diagnosed either by water deprivation testing or by the presence of concurrent polyuria, hypernatremia, elevated serum osmolality, low urine osmolality, and low urine specific gravity. The prevalence of additional anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies at each patient's presentation and the incidence of hormone deficiencies acquired later in the disease course were also evaluated. The presence of a hormone deficiency was confirmed by laboratory evidence of insufficient hormone production.

All patients underwent MRI of the brain. Thirty-three patients had neuroimaging performed at NCCH, and reports from referring hospitals were available for the remaining 2 patients. All but one had abnormalities on MRI of the brain including CNS malformations, intracranial masses, pituitary gland or stalk abnormalities. The one patient with a normal MRI of the brain was diagnosed with LCH (biopsy-proven) after presenting with a posterior auricular mass. Of the 17 patients with CNS malformations on MRI, 9 (25.7 %) had septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), 5 (14.2 %) had holoprosencephaly, 2 (5.7 %) had isolated pituitary hypoplasia, and 1 (2.9 %) had a large encephalocele. MRI revealed intracranial masses in 13 patients (37.2 %), including craniopharyngioma (6 patients, 17.1 %), astrocytoma (3 patients, 8.6 %), germ cell tumor (3 patients, 8.6 %), and pituitary adenoma (1 patient, 2.9 %). Four patients had pituitary stalk thickening. Of these patients, 2 were diagnosed with LCH, 1 was diagnosed with a germ cell tumor, and 1 has not yet undergone biopsy to determine a definitive diagnosis. One patient had absence of the posterior pituitary bright spot alone, without other structural abnormalities on MRI.
Six of 35 patients required formal water deprivation testing for diagnosis of CDI. The remaining patients already fulfilled the diagnostic criteria. All patients who required water deprivation test had abnormal findings on MRI of the brain, and etiologies for CDI included LCH, ectopic pituitary gland, pituitary hypoplasia, SOD, astrocytoma, and pituitary adenoma. Two of 6 patients had ADH deficiency alone at the time of diagnosis while the remainder had concurrent hormone deficiencies at presentation.
Twenty-one patients (60 %) had CDI at their initial presentation and 10 patients (29 %) developed CDI as a result of neurosurgical management of intracranial masses (6 with craniopharyngioma, 2 with astrocytoma, 1 with germinoma, and 1 with adrenocorticoptropic hormone (ACTH) secreting pituitary adenoma). Four patients (2 with SOD and 2 with ectopic posterior pituitary glands) did not have CDI at presentation but developed it during the follow-up period. One of the patients with SOD was diagnosed with thyrotropin (TSH), ACTH, and growth hormone (GH) deficiencies at birth but did not develop symptoms of CDI until 2 months of age. The second patient was diagnosed with SOD at 4 months of age but did not develop CDI until 12 years of age. One patient with an ectopic pituitary gland was diagnosed with panhypopituitarism except CDI at 2 months of age and developed CDI 1 year later. The other patient with an ectopic pituitary gland presented with GH deficiency and delayed puberty at 12 years of age and was diagnosed with CDI at 15 years of age.

There were 2 patients with CDI of unclear etiology. The first patient has been followed at NCCH for 6 years. He has undergone MRI of the brain on an annual basis which has demonstrated a stable 4 mm focus of hypoenhancement within his right pituitary gland which may represent a Rathke's cleft cyst or adenoma; however, he continues to follow-up with oncology given the possibility of LCH or germ cell tumor. He has had a total of two osseous surveys (2 years apart) that have failed to demonstrate evidence of LCH. He has undergone pituitary hormone screening every 6 to 12 months without development of subsequent hormone deficiencies. The other patient with CDI of unknown etiology is 13 year old female who presented for evaluation secondary amenorrhea, rapid weight gain, polydipsia and polyuria. She has been followed in our clinic for nearly 1 year, and her evaluation is significant for evidence of pituitary stalk thickening with absence of the posterior pituitary bright spot on MRI as well as TSH, GH, and gonadotropin deficiencies. A skeletal survey was normal. Neurosurgery has not yet agreed to obtain a biopsy for definitive diagnosis.
CDI in 31 patients was successfully managed with DDAVP. Chlorothiazide was used in 3 patients during infancy. One patient was managed with oral free water intake alone per the family's preference. One patient with an astrocytoma had resolution of CDI after four years as a result of surgical intervention and chemotherapy.
In our series of pediatric patients with CDI, nearly all patients (97 %) had abnormalities on MRI of the brain, with CNS malformations and intracranial masses being the most common findings. Our findings are consistent with a recent study by Werny at al [4] that reports a higher prevalence of CNS malformations in patients with CDI than previously reported, as well as fewer idiopathic cases. We identified tumors or LCH in nearly half (46 %) of our patients with CDI, which is similar to the rate of tumors and infiltrative processes (56 %) found by Werny et al [4]. We did not identify any cases of familial/genetic, autoimmune, or idiopathic CDI, which is inconsistent with other previous studies citing familial causes in 7 % [4] and 6 % [5] and idiopathic etiology in 12 % [4] and 52 % [5]. These findings are likely a result of our small sample size. Despite traumatic causes of CDI being reported in 3 % of cases overall [5], we did not identify any cases. This is likely due to the fact that patients may have had either nonsurvivable brain injuries or transient CDI, and we included only patients followed in our outpatient clinic. Also congruent with the Werny study, our patients with pituitary stalk thickening were likely to be diagnosed with LCH or germ cell tumor [4-6]. Given the high likelihood of identifying an underlying etiology, it is of utmost importance to obtain neuroimaging promptly in patients diagnosed with CDI. In our cohort of patients with CDI, there was a high incidence of concurrent anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies. Hormone insufficiencies evolved over time in many of our patients with CNS malformations, particularly in those with SOD, or occurred abruptly as a result of neurosurgical intervention in patients with intracranial masses. Multiple pituitary hormone insufficiencies were identified at the time of diagnosis in 89 % of patients with SOD. Forty-four percent of patients with SOD developed additional hormone deficiencies anywhere from 2 months to 13 years after initial diagnosis [7], highlighting the importance of regular screening. This is in contrast to our patients with holoprosencephaly who were less likely to demonstrate evolution of anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies over time. These patients, who may have abnormal osmoreceptor function (previously termed "essential hypernatremia"), as a result of hypothalamic, rather than pituitary dysfunction [8, 9], may warrant less diligent hormonal screening evaluations over time compared to those with SOD; however, larger studies are needed to identify appropriate time intervals for repeat screening. The requirement for water deprivation testing to achieve the diagnosis of CDI was not associated with a specific underlying etiology or with the presence or absence of concurrent hormone deficiencies in our cohort.
CDI was managed successfully with DDAVP in the majority of patients in our cohort; however, patients in the neonatal period present a particular therapeutic challenge [8]. In our experience, DDAVP titration was problematic in such young patients and often resulted in wide fluctuations in sodium levels, including severe hyponatremia that occasionally resulted in seizures. In agreement with previous reports, we have been able to maintain acceptable sodium concentrations using chlorothiazide and low solute formula in infants up to 6 months of age, after which DDAVP doses may be titrated more easily [10, 11].
There are some limitations to our study that should be considered. First, the retrospective nature of our study results in inter-patient variability in the diagnosis of pituitary hormone deficiencies (random laboratory values versus provocative testing) and evaluation of hormone deficiencies over time. Furthermore, diagnostic laboratory data was limited in patients that had begun hormone replacement therapy prior to referral to our clinic. It is also likely that the incidence of gonadotropin deficiency is underreported given that many of our patients are too young to manifest symptoms of delayed puberty. Additionally, variability in MRI interpretation may result in under or over reporting of pituitary abnormalities. Finally, our population may not be representative of all children with CDI because we included only patients followed in the outpatient setting, excluding those with nonsurvivable CNS insults or transient CDI.
Most children with CDI have abnormal findings on MRI of the brain, with intracranial masses and CNS malformations being most common. Therefore, the diagnosis of idiopathic CDI should be made with extreme caution in children, and only after extensive evaluation, including MRI of the brain, has been obtained. GH deficiency was the most common concurrent hormone deficiency at presentation in patients with CDI. TSH and ACTH deficiencies were more commonly diagnosed during follow-up evaluation; however, the development of additional hormone deficiencies in patients who did not undergo surgical intervention remains unpredictable, especially in those with SOD. Continued screening for endocrine dysfunction is warranted though further studies are needed to determine the most appropriate screening interval.

Comments about Koss UR29 Headphones:
Bought them expecting nothing. I was remarkably still disappointed! Just wanted something isolated and cheap for recording some drum and vocals. Right from the start audio from the fixed cord side worked but other side didnt! and on top of that the side that worked sounded horrible! muffled highs and missing mid rng. lows were distorted
Comments about Koss UR29 Headphones:
The UR-29 is quite a performer. The sound is quite smooth from top to bottom. These headphones do not have that LOUD midbass that works for some rock music and movies. In fact, movie lovers and hip-hop music fans may not find these to there liking. However, if you like pipe-organ or similar DEEP bass, try these out. They are geared more toward accuracy than headbanging.
Comments about Koss UR29 Headphones:
I have bought two of these, they've got a great price, and a lifetime warranty. They come all nicely rolled up, so I though I could re-roll my first pair for storage. Bad idea, I broke it. I'll send it in for a new pair when I have time. Meanwhile, my second pair works great. They DO NOT come with the advertised jack adapters though, unless there is something hidden in the jack that I haven't found.
Comments about Koss UR29 Headphones:
I had these for only a couple of months. They had pretty good sound and were pretty comfortable but somehow they stopped getting sound out of the left ear. Don't know what happened.
Comments about Koss UR29 Headphones:
Just got these, and after buying 3 pairs of unusable headphones, I think these are the one. The past 3 pairs have all been good headphones, for about 10 minutes. Then they became uncomfortable. These are not like those. Very comfortable, and isolating. I don't like headphones that let in the outside. I don't know how well these will hold up. They have a volume slider on the cord. Neat feature, but I've used things like that before, that after 6 months, became worthless. Also, these are folding headphones. A twist and a turn, and they become a compact storage headphone. Another neat feature, but again, I have had a problem with things like this in the past. But if they provide me with a year of good service, money well spent. I hope they prove me wrong.

I actually purchased the light version because I was learning to trade options from the ground up and knew nothing about trading binary options. I have dabbled in forex and noticed options coming up often. I am glad I did buy this system I am thinking of upgrading to the pro because I did alright and want to try more complicated techniques..".
Ted Thomas , Milwaukee
Very glad i found striker9 binary options system. The cost of the pro system was a bit high for my pockets at the time, especially since I was not sure if trading binary options was a thing I would stick with beyond curiosity. The light version however was less than 10% the cost of the pro version, glad i spent the money, worked out for me.
Marion Katelin , Benton Harbor
I wish they had a robot is all I can think of that would have made this system any better. That way I could have been trading using the system while i was learning to trade options myself - that would have been the ultimate. Thanks for the support and thanks for making learn to trade options simple and understandable, you truly built a better mousetrap.
