INFANTS HEALTH

Jordan Halpern asked:


This baby may not have your eyes or nose, but in many respects it is just like any other human being. The baby is given a name and starts off quite small, but before you know it, your little corporation has grown right before your eyes into a mature adult and a responsible, contributing member of society. In a legal sense, this new member of society is considered a person and a separate entity from its shareholders. It can own property and carry on a business, in addition to enjoying certain rights and even being able to incur liabilities.

In my last instalment, the major issues relating to partnerships as well as the importance and benefit of a well drafted partnership agreement were briefly canvassed. In this chapter, we will delve into similar issues regarding corporations. A good starting point would be to answer the question – “why incorporate?” What is the point of creating this new entity we call a corporation?

The largest and most obvious benefit of incorporating a business is that the shareholders or owners greatly limit their liability. When running a business as a sole proprietorship or a partnership, the owners are entirely liable for all claims against the business. Barring certain specific situations, a shareholder of a corporation risks losing only as much as was invested, whether it is in the form of money, past services or property. The main exception to this is when the corporate veil is pierced. This is a topic that is beyond the scope of the current article, but as a starting point it is vital to recognize that corporate responsibility is an issue that has made its way to the forefront of society’s expectations, especially in the wake of the Enron fiasco, and as such, cannot be ignored.

Corporations can sue and be sued in their own names. Generally speaking, and subject to personal guarantees, this limits personal claims made against the brains of the operation – you. They also have the potential to live indefinitely, a claim not easily made by most entities. Another benefit is the ability to incorporate provincially or federally. A federally incorporated company can carry on business in every province, and so (depending on your business plan or preferences) the opportunity to grow, expand, and reach various markets can be simplified by such a structure.

Corporations are separate tax payers from their shareholders. The taxation of corporations as well as the type and extent of tax incentives that can apply depends in part on the type of corporation that is created. For instance, for a certain amount of active business income in a particular tax year, a Canadian-controlled private corporation (CCPC) in Ontario is only taxed at roughly one-half the regular rate. Incorporation allows for a number of potential tax savings, and as such these are considerations that should be carefully explored.

When a business is incorporated, by-laws must be carefully drafted. The issues that can be dealt with in the by-laws (which will form part of the articles of incorporation) are virtually limitless. Some of the more generic ones are as follows:

Shareholder rights,

Voting structures regarding decisions made by the shareholders or directors,

Limitations on sales,

Meetings,

Resolutions, and

Other matters relating to Directors and Officers.

Another great benefit of incorporation is the varying and creative solutions that can be developed regarding the setup and inner workings of the company. From the outset, the owners (shareholders) can make decisions regarding classes of shares, their differing rights, as well as privileges and restrictions that attach to those separate classes. This can include such topics as voting, amalgamations, revisiting the set up of the corporation or even selling the corporation’s assets. Aside from a few particular limitations, any number of specifications regarding share classes can be arranged. Incorporation also gives the owners the ability to decide if or how the securities of the corporation will be distributed as well as the mechanism that must be followed to implement such distributions.

The freedom and flexibility that incorporation provides makes it increasingly understandable why so many businesses choose that route. However, once such a route is chosen, someone must be prepared to deal with the relevant issues – both the practical management of the business and the ‘backstage’ technical requirements. How many directors are required by law? What are the duties and responsibilities of those directors? Which responsibilities can be delegated, and which cannot? Furthermore, how will the transaction of business work behind the scenes? How does a shareholder ensure their rights are protected? What freedoms are there to buy in or out of the corporation? Is there a shotgun clause? Has a comprehensive shareholders agreement been properly drafted for this corporation to deal with these and many other issues? If not, that should be one’s foremost concern.

Other issues that warrant attention include the nature and details of the different kinds of dividends, purchase or redemption of shares, share capitalization, potential winding up of the company and the tax consequences/considerations of these and every other matter that has been raised in this article.

By no means has this been a comprehensive review of all the issues you must turn your mind to when incorporating a business, nor has it covered all of the requirements that must be fulfilled when you have already incorporated. There are mandatory filing requirements, notices that must be sent and fees that must be paid just to name a few. Moreover, to properly set up the corporation in terms of the by-laws, resolutions and shareholder agreements, legal advice would be ideal for any business person regardless of your degree of experience, so as to properly address all the issues that are of concern for your particular business. Shareholder agreements can range from very simple to dreadfully detailed and complicated. Furthermore, when faced with so many possibilities and arrangements, some external guidance could only help to achieve your goals and specific wishes that much more effectively.

With the proper upbringing, your corporation can grow into a major success. Being a parent is always challenging and seeking assistance with it can only work to the benefit of you and your baby. Wishing you the very best of luck during this exciting time in your life.



Clear For Life. Easy, Simple And Fun Way To Permanently Heal Acne.

Apurva Shree asked:


In the fast life of the day, one often delays the issue of marriage; children and health issues are pushed as further away as possible, as issues of finance gain precedence over all the other issues. Often, career is the main concern. It is very difficult to get into a career of one’s choice in the first place and to maintain it is even more difficult. Therefore, when the question of pregnancy arises, one immediately gets visions of unemployment, which brings jitters of fear. There are other issues as well, like family compulsions and physical weaknesses, which need to be cleared, before one can decide to become a mother. Usually one is so engrossed with one’s work that one easily crosses the age of healthy pregnancy. However, it should not be so, and this is where pre pregnancy planning gains importance. Health issues, foods, women’s most fertile period, all these important considerations should remain in the mind of every woman to deliver healthy babies.

Keep Your Mind And Body Fit

When women older than 35 years decide to get pregnant, they can have congenital abnormalities in the newborn baby. As one ages, one also catches some form of illness or the other. High blood pressure, diabetes, blood pressure, anxiety, piles, weakness in the bones and limbs are some of the common ailments of today’s environment. In case the mother has any of the above, which is not treated properly before conceiving, the prospective child can have many abnormalities.

Some Common Ailments

Hypertension is common when twins are born. Older women too have this condition. During the stage of pregnancy planning, a well-controlled regimen of exercise can handle hypertension. One has to be very cautious in this stage. Constant monitoring is required under the guidance of a qualified medical practitioner. You need to remain stress free, and in a diet plan that keep a check on your weight. A little meditation also helps in curing hypertension. You also have to take medicines recommended by the doctor.

Diabetes is a disease that does not allow you to die and it does not allow you to live as well. In a natural condition the level of sugar in the blood rises with every intake of food and liquid. The pancreas of the body creates a chemical called insulin, which neutralizes the raised sugar content in blood. Under the influence of diabetes, pancreas stops creating insulin and the sugar level continues to rise, affecting the organs of the body. If diabetes is not controlled, you might lose your kidneys, eyes, heart and other organs of your body one by one. Diabetes can be controlled by administering insulin by injection. This condition needs to be in full control at the pre pregnancy planning stage lest this disease cripples the infant.

Heart diseases are common concerns of doctors worldwide nowadays. Especially with couples who wish to become parents at a later stage in their life, doctors insist on a complete checkup for defects in the valve, rheumatic heart disease, hole in the heart etc. After all clearances, the consultant decides whether you should become parents or not. Parents with heart disease are advised complete bed rest in the pre-pregnancy planning period. Any miscalculation can lead to a miscarriage or premature fetal death.

There are other diseases like thyroid, cancer, tuberculosis that need to be disclosed, and discussed in complete confidence with your consultant. The advice of the consultant is the final word in this matter, after all tests to consider competency have been conducted. Never ever, hide such illness, as they can be fatal for the mother and or the baby.

Genetic disorders, exposure to radiation and other harmful fluid (as in factories), Urinary infections and venereal diseases are some other reasons for would-be mothers to remain on their toes. Always be very sure of your medical condition before you attempt to become a mother.

Groshan Fabiola asked:


Pregnancy is a natural condition which involves certain changes in women’s body, behaviour and even lifestyle. Moreover, pregnancies vary from woman to woman, some women may have an easy period of pregnancy and on the other hand some women may face complications and need to be supervised by a doctor during their pregnancy.

First of all, women who find out that are pregnant should be ready for the next period of 9 months, they need to find a specialist in order to have a medical support during the pregnancy, they should learn about their condition and how to take care of themselves and the unborn baby and moreover pregnant women need to make some changes in their lifestyle, such as giving up drinking alcohol or smoking.

Furthermore, a normal period of pregnancy is about 40 weeks. This time is divided into three periods of time called semesters and in each semester things happen to the woman’s body and the baby. So, pregnant women may face natural emotional changes such as anxiety, fear about pregnancy and childbirth.

In the first semester, the baby who is still a tiny cells starts to develop and its heart begin to beat. Moreover, the first pregnancy symptoms that women usually face or not are: period stops or becomes light; some women may feel nausea and cannot eat certain foods and on the other hand many women feel the desire to eat foods that they never liked before. Other specific prgnancy symptoms are the swollen and tender breasts, the nipples and the area around them get darker, frequent urination, pregnant women feel tired and have headches and in some cases women may experience emotional shifts and mood swings, such as sadness or happiness out of the blue, fear and others. Moreover, in the first semester of pregnancy some women may develop complications which can lead to the loss of the baby. So, if a woman is diagnosed with a complicated pregnancy, she should follow a certain treatment and be careful during the pregnancy.

In the second semester, the embryo tends to seem more like a baby, the child has eyebrows, eyelashes, fine hair, can even move his/her hands and can kick with the legs the mother’s tummy. In addition to this, in this semester, women may notice other symptoms, such as weight gain, the breast get bigger, the feet, ankles, and face may swell, some women my experience nosebleeds and also varicose veins.

The third semester tends to be risky too, the pregnant woman should take care in order to avoid a premature delivery. In this last stage of the pregnancy, the belly is quite visible, the navel pushes out, the baby can be seen moving from the outside and because of the big belly, women can suffer from backaches and may have difficulties in walking or moving fast.

All in all, pregnancy is a unique moment in every woman’s life and the three semesters bring new changes and new exeperinces in the mother’s life. By following a proper diet and taking into consideration the doctor’s advice, a future mother can have an easy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

Laurel Levine asked:


Are you frustrated with looking for healthy skin care solutions? Here’s some advice. The first step is to avoid all of the major brand names, including the designer names and learn how to read the label of ingredients. The second is to do a little bit of research about the manufacturer to learn about their philosophy and their standards for purity.

You see, the cosmetic industry is still largely unregulated. Even though we have learned that what we put on our skin is absorbed through it, enters our blood stream, lodges in our tissues and builds up in our organs. Ancient Ayurvedic practitioners knew that, but as technology and society advanced, the old ways were looked at with skepticism.

The standards for judging cosmetics should be as high as those used for judging any healthcare product, but that’s not how the industry was formed. The regulations for cosmetics have always been much more lax, than those for regulating foodstuff and pharmaceuticals.

Like most industries, the cosmetic industry isn’t about to change any time soon. So, if you want healthy skin care, you need to look to a different source.

Several months ago, a company that makes some of the best dietary supplements in the world launched a line of skincare products. Over the years, I have evaluated numerous anti-aging creams and lotions, primarily because most of the ingredients that are including in the products are not safe.

Not only are the ingredients in this new line safe, they have clinical research supporting their effectiveness. I began to use them, almost as soon as they were released, because I get my omega 3s and other nutritional supplements from the company. I’m not that old, but even I have noticed a difference in my skin’s appearance.

Until I found these products, my healthy skin care regimen included the daily use of plain grape seed oil to moisturize my face and body. When I was young, my older sisters used baby oil, but that always left me feeling greasy.

The primary ingredient in baby oil is mineral oil, a byproduct of petroleum production. It is not similar to the oils produced by the sebaceous glands, deep beneath the skin’s layers. Because of that fact, it is not absorbed. It actually clogs the pores and really provides no moisture, at all. Something that we were unaware of, when we were younger, because our only source of information was the promotional claims put out by the companies.

Now, we have better sources for healthy skin care information. A respected dermatologist has noted that mineral oil interferes with the skin’s natural rejuvenation processes and can cause a prematurely aged appearance.

The new line of products does not contain mineral oil or any other petrochemicals. It does contain grape seed oil, my old favorite, but it is combined with other natural oils and extracts that work together to reduce wrinkles, stretch marks and blemishes.

Make no mistake about it, the products not only provide healthy skin care. They provide the healthiest solutions available, today.

Paul Banas asked:


The right diet ensures a healthy and bright future for toddlers. Proper food and nutrients form the building blocks for developing strong teeth, bones, muscles and healthy tissues in this age group. A good diet also helps to build your toddlers immune system. A study by the Journal of American Dietic Association states that kids in an age group of 1 to 2 years get 30 percent more calories than required. Since life long eating preferences are set during the first three years a well balanced diet at these early stages is required. A critical factor is that, though requirements for energy and nutrients are high, parents are besieged with small appetites and finicky eating habits.

The basic constituents of toddlers’ healthy diet include iron, calcium, vitamins A, C and D. Iron is one of the most crucial nutrients for a toddler. Children in this age group often suffer from iron deficiencies due to low dietary intake. This happens due to low or no meat intake. Foods rich with Vitamin C, such as orange juice need to be eaten at the same time to enhance iron absorption. Calcium; which is vital for strong bones, teeth and blood clotting and nerve cells, can be obtained from milk. Vitamin A; which is crucial for healthy skin and cell development can be derived from yellow and orange fruit and vegetables. Vitamin D is necessary for calcium metabolism and is synthesized by the action of the sunlight on the skin. It is also available from oily fish, fortified margarine and dairy products. In order to balance out a healthy diet a parent should ensure that their toddler is getting adequate starchy carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables, milk and dairy foods, meat fish and alternatives. Fatty and sugary foods need to be given in moderation. Avoid or moderate sweet drinks.

Some pointers to ensure a healthy child’s diet are:

• Feed your child with regular meals and snacks at regular intervals.

• Schedule meals at times when your child is not too tired or too hungry.

• Ensure that there is a wide variety of food at meals.

• Choose foods that are colorful and interesting.

• Serve small portions on a small plate in the beginning.

• Keep sweet foods and deserts out of sight till the main course has been eaten.

Toddlers often become hungry in between their main meals. That is when they need small meals or snacks to help them grow up strong. The healthier the snack, the healthier is the effect of growth on toddlers. Therefore, it is very important to distinguish between what is a healthy snack and what is an unhealthy snack for toddlers.

Moreover, what may be classified as a healthy snack for the average adult or teenager cannot automatically be considered as healthy for toddlers.

Here are a few Do’s and Don’ts to help you decide on the ideal snacks for your toddlers:

Do’s –

• Use snacks that comprise ingredients that can be cut or sliced into small pieces. E.g. apples, pears and bananas.

• Use fresh foods rich in protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins.

• Serve snacks in small portions at regular intervals.

• Use fresh fruits sliced or cut into small pieces.

• Use natural snacks such as cheese, milk, yogurt, mini-muffins, fruit juices, and cereal.

Don’ts –

• Avoid snacks that may choke toddlers such as whole fruits and vegetables, hard candies, whole nuts, and seeds.

• Avoid preserved, processed or pre-packaged snacks.

• Refrain from using snacks that are too sweet, too salty, or too oily.

• Avoid artificial drinks such as sweetened sodas and soft drinks.

• Avoid fried snacks such as potato chips.
