New International Students
If English is not your native language, you had to meet certain MINIMUM requirements to demonstrate your competence in English in order to be admitted to Illinois. For those international students who would benefit from additional study of English as a Second Language (ESL), there is the English Placement Test.
Some ESL courses focus on academic writing, other ESL courses focus on pronunciation, while still others address both oral and written communication. The results of the English Placement Test ("the EPT") will indicate which ESL courses you should enroll in, if any. Your score report will recommend a particular course for you.
All undergraduate students must fulfill the 'Composition I' General Education requirement. The ESL composition courses do NOT teach you the English language. Rather, they teach you the academic research and writing skills that will be essential for success in your university classes, taking into consideration that English is not your first language. Completing ESL 111-112 or ESL 115 fulfills your Gen Ed 'Composition I' requirement.
For some non-native speakers of English, it is possible that you received the email stating that you are required to take the EPT and yet you know that your ACT or SAT score is high enough to earn you credit for RHET 105. In this situation, make sure that Illinois has received and processed that official ACT or SAT score. You may ignore the requirement to take the Written EPT only if the 'Composition I' requirement is marked as "completed" on your official academic record. Contact PNP if you have any questions.
Be sure to discuss your course enrollment decisions with your academic advisor. If you earned RHET 105 credit based on an ACT, SAT, AP or IB test score, and yet your TOEFL or IELTS scores indicate that you would benefit from additional instruction in the academic communication that will be expected of you in your classes, whether it be written communication or oral communication, you might want to take an ESL class even though it is not required. It can help you prepare for success in future classes.

Will Cortical Cyst Affect the Function of Kidney
2015-02-02 03:12
Cortical cyst is a common type of kidney cyst among people over 50 years old. It is a round sac filled with fluid. One or several cysts can be found on the kidneys. Will cortical cyst affect the function of kidney?
Get facts on renal cortical cyst
In most cases, the renal cortical cyst is small and grow slowly with age. Some people may live with renal cortical cyst the whole life without any damage on kidney function. However, some other factors can stimulate the cysts to grow fast, such as alcohol, spicy foods, long-term over-tiredness or side effects of certain medicines. When the renal cortical cyst enlarges and compress kidneys, it may lead to reduced blood flow to kidneys, causing ischemia and anoxia in the kidneys.
As a result, the kidney tissues cannot get enough blood volume and oxygen, and start sclerosis or fibrosis. The renal function begins to decline day by day.
How to protect kidney function?
To prevent renal cortical cyst from affecting kidney function, you should take treatment to inhibit the growth of kidney cyst, or shrinking big renal cortical cyst.
Are there any medicines that you can take to shrink renal cortical cyst naturally? Yes, there are. We have been almost 30 years of clinic practice. Now, kidney cyst patients can get a holistic treatment in our hospital.

Considered by amounts outstanding rather than numbers, the percentage of quoted SPV bonds rises to 71%. This is because the largest tranches of bond issues (i.e. EUR 50 million or over), with the lowest credit risk, were traded more frequently than the smaller tranches. Most trades took place in the month of October, soon after the start of the turmoil on the financial markets. In that month, 372 of these bonds changed hands at least once. In the preceding months, the number hardly exceeded 150. November and December, finally, were unusually calm. The month of October also deviated strongly from the surrounding months in that many smaller tranches were traded then.
Featured statistic: 35%
- News
Date 20 February 2008
Of all bonds issued by Dutch special purpose vehicles (SPVs) only 35% changed hands during 2007. Whether transactions in a bond took place in a certain month, is shown by the availability of a quotation for that bond in that month. During 2007, prices were quoted for only 696 of the 2,004 SPV bonds in at least one month.

WWE News: Ronda Rousey is pitching ideas for her return
- Rowdy Ronda Rousey could be back sooner than expected.
Rousey's break from in-ring action
Ronda Rousey took the wrestling world by storm when she made her in-ring debut at WrestleMania 34, teaming up with Kurt Angle to defeat Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. In no time, she found herself at the top of the card, and by SummerSlam 2018 she'd captured the Raw Women's Championship.
Throughout the year, Rousey proved her worth in the ring, improving each and every time she stepped out to wrestle. It all led to the first-ever women's main event of WrestleMania, where she and Charlotte Flair both lost to Becky Lynch, crowning the Man as a dual champion.
It was a great end to a dominant run for Rousey, who then took a break from in-ring competition. Since then, the UFC legend has stayed away from the spotlight, all the while watching at home as Becky Lynch took over Monday nights.
The Baddest Woman on the Planet is ready to return
While the former Raw Women's Champion has been absent from WWE since April, the wrestling world has been on her mind. In fact, she's excited for the day she returns to the company. So much so, in fact, that she's been pitching ideas for the day she steps back inside the squared circle. Thanks to a video from MMA Junkie, we finally got some insight on what's next for Rousey in the WWE.
Triple H was asked about Ronda Rousey's status with the company during a recent media scrum in Las Vegas. It was there that he confirmed Rousey would indeed be making a return, though they're not sure when.
"Don't have a specific timeline, but she's with us. This is family for her. She's coming back. She has said it, she calls us all the time. I think the biggest tear for her right now is trying to do what she wants in her personal life and just missing this. There's... it's hard to explain, there is a brotherhood and a sisterhood here that's deep with people."
The Game went so far as to hypothesize that Rousey may not have known just how much she was going to enjoy working in the ring and with WWE. Though she's been working on things in her personal life, she's constantly thinking of ways to step back into the spotlight whenever that time comes.
" She said to me multiple times, 'It was like the family I never knew I was missing, and the group of friends and the environment I never knew I was missing.' I think she misses that greatly. She's constantly with us, and she's constantly pitching her return. So, if I had to guess, it would be sooner rather than later, but who knows?"
Whenever Rousey does return, we can be sure that she'll set her sights on the top prize of whatever brand she lands on. If we're lucky, we'll get a true one-on-one war between her and Becky Lynch in the near future.

Ethiopia: Donor concern over IPP climate
International donors are increasingly frustrated with the Ethiopian government's approach to private power development as projects slow and development banks are shown the cold shoulder. Ethiopia remains a high priority for most donors, with the United States in particular strongly committed, but access to projects is limited and risks are increasing.

Because prostate cancer and its treatment options involve the most intimate of male-related issues—erectile and urinary function—they generate a great deal of investigative scrutiny. From the physician's point of view, a prescribed treatment can be life changing, with both benefits and drawbacks for the male subject. More importantly, treatment can be lifesaving.
February 16, 2017
The ASCENDE-RT (Androgen Suppression Combined with Elective Nodal and Dose Escalated Radiation Therapy) study was the first randomized clinical trial comparing brachytherapy to the traditional use of external beam radiation therapy to treat intermediate and high risk Prostate Cancer patients over a period of between 6 to 9 years. The results show a significant increase in survival rates with an average of 50% of patients showing progression free survival when treated with LDR brachytherapy.

|Cottage Review:
First the minor drawbacks. The property is on a main road so there is some traffic noise and if you sleep in the "roadside" bedroom, car lights can disturb you. The garden is small(but we did enjoy a glass or two of rose wine on the seating facility! The house is spacious;comfortable and very well appointed. It is extremely well equipped. I do not believe that you could not find anything you wanted and the quantities of pots, pans, cutlery and crockery is enormous. We had no issues with water pressure in any bathroom. There was plenty to do in the local area

|Cottage Review:
What a well presented spacious cottage in a gorgeous location. We have teenagers, middle aged parents and grandparents in their 70's. This cottage suits us all, and there is room to spread out. The teenagers are pleased with the wifi, the kitchen amenities are all there. Some beautiful villages and walks around the area, idyllic location. The only thing I could suggest for improvement would be bigger beds, the rooms are large so they could take a kingsize or super king and still have plenty of room. I recommend this property to people of all ages, it's wonde

The e-Waste Awareness Programme for Bulk Consumers envisaged under the Clean e- Bhubaneswar Project was launched today at the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) premises.
Along with the awareness program, the event also marked the commencement of an e-waste collection drive at the BMC premises, and as an initiation of the processes for inventorisation and channelisation of e-waste generated at BMC.
The Clean e-Bhubaneswar Project, under the 'IFC-EU Eco-Cities' program, aims to ensure that the city's e-waste is collected and recycled in an environmentally responsible manner. The awareness event was organised by the BMC and project implementation partners Sofies Sustainability Leaders Pvt. Ltd. and Siddha Development Research and Consultancy (SDRC).
The E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016, were discussed as well as roles of the different stakeholders as defined by these rules. The roles and responsibilities of bulk consumers was examined in detail.
Deputy Commissioner Sanitation, Lalatendu Sahu said awareness generation on e-waste is part of the ambitious Eco Cities Programme as it would help in creating better environment and surrounding.
Zonal Deputy Commissioner Subhranshu Mishra suggested gifting of new electronic gadgets/appliances in exchange of e-waste to incentivise better and efficient collection of e-waste across the city.
He also called for a scientific and meaningful integration of the informal sector in e-waste management so that the city would benefit and citizens would have non-toxic environment to live in.
As per an unofficial estimates the city is generating more than 2,700 tonnes of ewaste in a year. While desktop PCs including their accessories and peripherals constitute the maximum of the e-waste burden, mobiles have become another headache towards the e-waste mess.
However, with an efficient management plan if the ewaste can be processes scientifically, then it could yield 44 types of rare elements on the Periodic Table. The entire country generates around 2 million tonnes of e-waste in a year.

'You sign it because you're hard up'
Gabriel Griffin signed a contract at the new Wendy's outlet in Dunedin that does not guarantee weekly working hours.
(Published on Otago Daily Times Online News)
Unions are fighting them, employers say they do not exist. Carla Green reports on zero-hour contracts.
When Gabriel Griffin signed his work contract with the new Wendy's outlet in South Dunedin, he knew what he was signing.
''I signed it because I wanted the money, and that's why everyone else signed it as well. You sign it because you're hard up, that's it,'' he said.
But that does not mean he is happy about it.
Mr Griffin, a 20-year-old who lives in Port Chalmers, is one of thousands of workers throughout New Zealand employed under what are called ''zero-hour'' contracts - agreements that do not guarantee the worker a set number of hours a week (or any hours at all, necessarily), but usually make it difficult or impossible for workers to seek alternative employment.
The contracts first came into widespread use in the United Kingdom following the global financial crisis in 2008.
Since then, they have become common in New Zealand, especially in the fast-food industry.
Critics generally identify several key issues with the agreements: they do not allow workers to plan financially (because they do not know how many hours they will be rostered on each week); they result in many of an establishment's workers being underemployed when they want to work full-time; and businesses require workers to be on call.
According to the Unite union's South Island organiser, Ben Peterson, Wendy's is just one of several fast-food establishments that use zero-hour contracts.
''It's not that Wendy's is worse than the others,'' he said.
The union is in the process of negotiating with Wendy's on a variety of issues, including zero-hour contracts.
''For the most part, there's been no movement around providing better hours and better protection to those hours,'' Mr Peterson said.

Helen Kelly: Zero hour exploitation
Fast food workers rally against zero hour contracts outside Grey Lynn McDonald's, February 14, 2015
The wellbeing of families is threatened when workers feel insecure, writes CTU president Helen Kelly
We have seen such public concern about the types of arrangements being used to exploit Kiwi workers lately.
Deductions from wages for runners at petrol stations and restaurants; zero hour contracts; breaches of minimum wage laws on farms and in hospitality; serious recurring accidents in industries such as forestry and farming; severe exploitation of our migrant workforce; and below living wages in important industries like aged care.
Is this the new normal?
All of these issues – hours, wages, deductions, and safety – would be regulated by collective bargaining, as they are in countries which recognise the importance of work to society and families. In countries such as Denmark – with high productivity and wages – collective bargaining is the mechanism that brings parties together to regulate labour practices, ensuring all sides to the bargain get a fair benefit.
This country has one of the most deregulated labour markets in the OECD and has some of the lowest collective bargaining coverage. The results are that competition between businesses can be won by exploiting the labour force, at a huge cost to us all. It seems likely this will only continue.

Woodhouse aims to improve zero-hour contracts
Most adult New Zealanders will work a 30-odd hour this week, and tomorrow, will do some more.
But for workers on zero-hour contracts, they may have worked, well, nothing.
Not out of choice, but because their employer is not obligated to give them any work - even though their staff are on permanent contracts.
Last time we talked to Workplace Relations Minister Michael Woodhouse, he told us anyone not happy on a zero hour contract should look at getting a new job.
Campbell Live and many of our viewers don't think it's that easy.
We're not sure the Minister understands just what it's like to live week to week on a zero-hours contract.
Campbell Live reporter Anna Burns-Francis went to Wellington with SkyCity worker Anthony Kavana, to see what the Minister had to say.
"I have sent my officials away so that they can advise me on what we can do to improve the Employment Relations Legislation to remove some parts of the zero-hour contracts that have come to our attention," says Mr Woodhouse.
He wants parts removed like the mutual obligation, where there is an expectation from the employee to be available for work, but no commitment from the employer.
Solidarity needed with Venezuela
Mike Treen on platform of May Day rally in Caracas, Venezuela, in 2006
By Mike Treen, National Director, Unite Union
(Reprinted from The Daily Blog)
The international labour movement together with all supporters of peace and social justice around the globe need to mobilise in solidarity with government and people of Venezuela.
The declaration by the President of the United States that Venezuela is an "unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States" can seem simply absurd on the face of it but it constitutes the first step towards open warfare and "regime change" as official policy.
Just such a declaration by US President Reagan in 1985 set the stage for the imposition of economic sanctions – including an economic embargo – to remove an elected government. The sanctions were followed by funding for a terrorist paramilitary war that combined with the embargo destroyed the economy and led to the electoral defeat of the governing Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) in 1990. The FSLN returned to power in 2007 and have increased their support to record levels.
The threat posed by Venezuela is the threat of a good example. The process known as the "Bolivarian Revolution" began with the election of Hugo Chavez as President in 1998. Until his death from cancer in March 2013 he led a mass process to redistribute wealth, radically increase access to health care and education, expand popular power, and challenge US domination and exploitation in the region.Read more
Minister to zero hours employers: Rethink your rosters
By Anna Burns-Francis Reporter
Hardworking Kiwis keeping our fast-food and hospitality industries afloat are technically employed, but they're not guaranteed any work.
They're hired on zero-hour contracts, and for the second week in a row, Mohammad Ismail's been given zero hours' work at Burger King.
"It's rubbish," says Mr Ismail. "I only get $14.25 per hour – you can't survive on it. No one would like to work for just two hours."
So what does the Employment Minister Michael Woodhouse think of the contract?Read more
Secure Hours Survey
A major survey of fast food workers in New Zealand has exposed the reality of "Zero Hour Contracts" for workers and some of the myths used to justify them.
Over a thousand fast food union members working for the major brands in New Zealand responded to Unite Union's online survey, with nearly 700 giving detailed information on their working hours over the previous four weeks. That is the biggest response Unite Union has ever had to a member survey.

Inspirational U.S McDonalds Workers Join Us Tomorrow
2014 was a massive year for Fast Food workers in the U.S. Two McDonalds' workers from Los Angeles are visiting New Zealand to tell the story and work with fast food workers in New Zealand to keep building the momentum.
Genoby Jaimes, 27, has worked at McDonald's for 6 years and only makes $9.75 an hour. She is a mother of a six year old son. Anggie Godoy,19, has worked at McDonald's for a year and makes $9 an hour.
They will be speaking at the National Fast Food Workers day on Sat Feb 14th (9am, Trades Hall, 147 Great North Road, Auckland, Link Here). They have just been in Wellington meeting with Union Leaders and meeting MP's at Parliament.

If you and your ex-spouse can't be in the same space for five minutes without taking verbal swipes at each other or getting into a spat, how are you ever going to keep custody exchanges civil?
Handling a custody exchange when there's tension
An early offer regarding support and custody may ease a divorce
Deciding to seek a divorce certainly wasn't the easiest thing you've ever done -- but actually approaching your spouse about the divorce may seem even harder. You're likely anticipating everything from tears to threats, and that's not easy to handle.
How do temporary orders work in a divorce?
Once your divorce is final, you'll have a detailed agreement or court order that outlines how every aspect of your split gets handled -- from taxes to child custody and everything in between.
Worried about international child abduction? Here's what to do
If your spouse has strong ties to another country, you may worry that he or she will disappear with your children in tow to some far-off land where you will never see them again.
Is it time to discuss the holiday visitation schedule?
The nights are getting longer, the air is getting colder and we're already in October. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas will all be happening before you know it. That means that it's time to discuss your holiday plans with your co-parent and make any necessary adjustments to your visitation schedule with the kids.
How to protect your children from emotional issues after divorce
You can't completely protect your child from the fallout of your divorce. However, you can minimize the effects. By concentrating on your emotional awareness, you can help your children develop theirs -- and weather the tides of the divorce a little easier.
Trouble dealing with your ex-spouse? There's an app for that!
One of the biggest headaches parents face post-divorce is the fact that their marriage may be over but their relationship with their child's other parent is not.
What rights do grandparents have in California?
Are you a grandparent hoping to obtain legal visitation rights to your grandchild in California? Ultimately, it's possible -- even if your relationship with your grandchild's parents is rocky. However, it isn't necessarily a simple or easy process.
Parental alienation: Know the signs of this form of abuse
Parental alienation is a form of child abuse -- although many people don't think of it as such. Certainly, the parents who participate in the type of mental and emotional manipulation that drives a wedge between their children and their children's other parents likely don't see themselves as abusive -- but that's exactly what they are.
Custody and summer break: Don't forget these issues
Summer break can be fraught with difficulty for a lot of parents -- even under the best of circumstances. When you're divorced, custody issues also come into play. That can make every summer break a hassle unless you take steps to prevent problems before they start.

On the territory of the Riviera of Makarska, is situated the tourist city of Tucepi. The proximity of the town of Makarska on the north-west and the mountain of Biokovo on the south-east gives it an ideal geographic position. The nearby villages, with a traditional littoral architecture, spread all around its slope, full of water springs and on the terrace shaped grounds are located vineyards and olive-trees.
The favourable geographical position caused the population of Tucepi in the antique period. Parts of the furniture of the early roman church from the V - VI century and some medieval grave stones are the older evidence of the inhabitation of Tucepi. Under the name of Tucepi the place is at first mentioned in the 1434. During the transitional time from roman to a gothic stile, near at the end of the XIII century, was built the church of Saint George and in the XVIII century were built the baroque villas of the families Ivanisevic and Lucic - Pavlovic.
Thanks to a beautiful coast and high quality accommodation offer Tucepi became a little paradise on this part of the Adriatic coast. The gravel beaches with the shadows of pine trees or the olive trees are ideal for relaxing and resting.
The offer of the sport contents as a part of the hotel offer and the possibility of renting sport facilities gives plenty of opportunity to sports lovers. For those who like to walking and hiking trips we recommend a trip to Biokovo Mountain. For the yachtsman on disposal are 70 moorages.

Tucepi will offer you unforgettable moments of relax and you will wish to come again...

Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader
You aspire to lead with greater impact. The problem is you're busy executing on today's demands. You know you have to carve out time from your day job to build your leadership skills, but it's easy to let immediate problems and old mind-sets get in the way. Herminia Ibarra—an expert on professional leadership and development and a renowned professor at INSEAD, a leading international business school—shows how managers and executives at all levels can step up to leadership by making small but crucial changes in their jobs, their networks, and themselves. In Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader, she offers advice to help you:
• Redefine your job in order to make more strategic contributions
• Diversify your network so that you connect to, and learn from, a bigger range of stakeholders
• Become more playful with your self-concept, allowing your familiar—and possibly outdated—leadership style to evolve
Ibarra turns the usual "think first and then act" philosophy on its head by arguing that doing these three things will help you learn through action and will increase what she calls your outsight—the valuable external perspective you gain from direct experiences and experimentation. As opposed to insight, outsight will then help change the way you think as a leader: about what kind of work is important; how you should invest your time; why and which relationships matter in informing and supporting your leadership; and, ultimately, who you want to become.
Packed with self-assessments and practical advice to help define your most pressing leadership challenges, this book will help you devise a plan of action to become a better leader and move your career to the next level. It's time to learn by doing.More info →

Competing Against Time: How Time-Based Competition is Reshaping Global Markets
Today, time is the cutting edge. In fact, as a strategic weapon, contend George Stalk, Jr., and Thomas M. Hout, time is the equivalent of money, productivity, quality, even innovation. In this path-breaking book based upon ten years of research, the authors argue that the ways leading companies manage time--in production, in new product development, and in sales and distribution--represent the most powerful new sources of competitive advantage.With many detailed examples from companies that have put time-based strategies in place, such as Federal Express, Ford, Milliken, Honda, Deere, Toyota, Sun Microsystems, Wal-Mart, Citicorp, Harley-Davidson, and Mitsubishi, the authors describe exactly how reducing elapsed time can make the critical difference between success and failure. Give customers what they want when they want it, or the competition will. Time-based companies are offering greater varieties of products and services, at lower costs, and with quicker delivery times than their more pedestrian competitors. Moreover, the authors show that by refocusing their organizations on responsiveness, companies are discovering that long-held assumptions about the behavior of costs and customers are not true: Costs do not increase when lead times are reduced; they decline. Costs do not increase with greater investment in quality; they decrease. Costs do not go up when product variety is increased and response time is decreased; they go down. And contrary to a commonly held belief that customer demand would be only marginally improved by expanded product choice and better responsiveness, the authors show that the actual results have been an explosion in the demand for the product or service of a time-sensitive competitor, in most cases catapulting it into the most profitable segments of its markets.With persuasive evidence, Stalk and Hout document that time consumption, like cost, is quantifiable and therefore manageable. Today's new-generation companies recognize time as the fourth dimension of competitiveness and, as a result, operate with flexible manufacturing and rapid-response systems, and place extraordinary emphasis on R&D and innovation. Factories are close to the customers they serve. Organizations are structured to produce fast responses rather than low costs and control. Companies concentrate on reducing if not eliminating delays and using their response advantage to attract the most profitable customers.Stalk and Hout conclude that virtually all businesses can use time as a competitive weapon. In industry after industry, they illustrate the processes involved in becoming a time-based competitor and the ways managers can open and sustain a significantMore info →
Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm—shattering new way to think about motivation.
Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.
Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.More info →

OK, so it might not be Christmas season right now, but you can relive the spirit of the season with the latest installment of our European trip video series. Today we find ourselves in Germany for the first time on this trip and we're checking out the world's largest advent calendar in Gengenbach.
Gengenbach and the World's Largest Advent Calendar
Two More European Adventure Videos
Our tour continues, this time with a focus on France, specifically the small medieval town of Riquewihr and the much larger city of Strasbourg.
Off to Switzerland
We complete the trifecta of "planes, trains, and automobiles" by taking a rail trip from Vienna to Basel, Switzerland.
One Day in Vienna
After completing our stay in Brno, we grabbed a bus to Vienna, Austria. We traveled with RegioJet, which is a private Czech company which specializes in rail and bus travel. It was a great experience. The ride was approximately two hours but they offered coffee, wifi, and games so the trip went really fast. Essentially it was like traveling by plane but with a bit more room — and not leaving the ground.
Once in Vienna we stored our bags at the hotel and bought tickets for the "Big Bus" which is a hop-on / hop-off tour company. This made getting around the city super convenient and it also provided us with the chance to learn more about our surroundings by plugging the supplied headphones into the audio jack so we could listen to recorded commentary in our native language.
So, what all did we see and do in Vienna? Well, if I told you that there would be no need for you watch the video.
Walking Tour of Brno, Czechia
First full day in Europe involved a tour of the city of Brno. Time to check out a castle and a nuclear bunker left over from the Cold War era.
European Adventure – Calgary to Brno
The jet lag is almost gone so it is time to look back at how our crazy European travel adventure started. From the terminal at Calgary International to Brno, Czechia, it is a long day of travel condensed into a very short video.

Apple seems to be coming around to my way of thinking about shareholders. After all, what do shareholders do to help a company that already is a massive success? They drain the company of money and do nothing else of value.
Hear me out. Early shareholders help newborn companies grow and succeed with their investments in the company. Apple's shareholders– along with Google, Facebook, Amazon, and many others– do not help the company whether buying or selling stock.
Fortunately, Apple has so much money on hand that it can afford to pay shareholders who could revolt and vote out various executives. I say Apple's expenditures on stock buybacks and shareholder dividends are a waste of money.
I'm not alone. Two Davids tell of a trend developing among successful companies who would prefer shareholder step aside.
Nearly 200 chief executives, including the leaders of Apple, Pepsi and Walmart, tried on Monday to redefine the role of business in society — and how companies are perceived by an increasingly skeptical public.
That's journalistic gibberish for what those big companies really want to do. Redefine the purpose of a corporation so that shareholders have less importance.
Companies should no longer advance only the interests of shareholders… must also invest in their employees, protect the environment and deal fairly and ethically with their suppliers.
That would be the first step in making sure shareholders don't screw up a good company.
In the past, shareholder value was the most important thing. The stock price and where it was going. Revenue, growth, profits, company health and cash on hand were never as important as the stock price; translated as shareholder value.
Executives from those companies issued a shot across the bow of shareholders. Note the keyword.
While each of our individual companies serves its own corporate purpose, we share a fundamental commitment to all of our stakeholders… We commit to deliver value to all of them, for the future success of our companies, our communities and our country.
What happened to shareholders?
They became stakeholders, and that includes management, customers, suppliers, and, somewhere down the line– definitely not on top– shareholders.
Apple derives no value from shareholders. They buy stock on the market, not from Apple, and the money they invest is in the stock and its price, not money that goes to Apple. If the stock price goes up, investors in the stock make more money.
When Apple buys stock on the market and retires those shares, that tends to help the stock price and, indirectly, investors. When Apple gives shareholders dividends that helps shareholders, not Apple Inc.
Apple has a shareholder problem because they drain the company's cash reserves without adding value. That Business Roundtable is the first step for successful companies to divorce themselves from shareholders who provide no value to the company.
