Book excerpt: Libres para vivir....Free to live. Living this past year in Valencia, Venezuela, it was amazing to see the Lord work in the lives of students, my teammates, and myself. From extreme adventures to hanging out in the park to discipleship to weekly Bible study to welcome parties, and good-bye parties, to students growing in community and their desire to see God change their campus to a national conference to people receiving Christ for the first time to learning how to make caraotas con arepas to catching a glimpse of how God has worked in Venezuela the past eleven years to living life with students and watching them grow in their love for the Lord, it was an incredible year. I hope that you enjoy living these experiences vicariously through these weekly correspondences. Though such times fade into a memory, we can still rejoice in what the Lord has done and be excited about the eternal hope that we have in Him. -David Hamilton Noyd

Download or read book Corporate Financing Trends and Balance Sheet Risks in Latin America written by Mr.Fabiano Rodrigues Rodrigues Bastos and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-01-22 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Easy global liquidity conditions, stronger risk appetite and a retrenchment in cross-border bank lending led to a surge in emerging market firms’ bond issuance in international markets (what we term “The Bon(d)anza”). Using firm-level data for five large Latin American economies, we provide evidence of a significant change in companies’ external funding strategies and liability structures after 2010, as well as in the balance sheet risks that firms face. We find that stepped up bond issuance was mostly aimed at re-financing rather than funding investment projects, as firms extended the average duration of their debt while securing lower fixed-rates, reducing roll-over and interest rate risks. The shift towards safer maturity structures has come at the expense of a leveraging-up in foreign-currency-denominated financial debt in several countries— reversing a de-dollarization trend seen during the last decade. We also provide evidence that a substantial part of these bonds were issued through offshore vehicles, suggesting regulatory and tax arbitrage strategies. For some corporations, rising dollar debt and high leverage will be particularly taxing in an environment of US dollar strengthening, less buoyant commodity prices and slowing domestic activity.

Download or read book Innate Tolerance in the CNS written by Jeffrey M. Gidday and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-21 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cerebral preconditioning is a phenomenon wherein a mild insult or stress induces cellular and tissue adaptation or tolerance to a later, severe injury, therefore reflecting the efficacy of endogenous mechanisms of cerebrovascular protection. Initially identified for rapid cardiac protection, preconditioning has expanded to all aspects of CNS protection from ischemia, trauma and potentially neurodegeneration. Many different stimuli or stressors have been identified as preconditioning agents, suggesting a downstream convergence of mechanisms and underscoring the potential for translational application of preconditioning in the clinic. Moreover, the fundamental mechanisms responsible for preconditioning-induced tolerance will help in the design novel pharmacological approaches for neuroprotection. While stroke and many other brain injuries are not predictable, in some populations (e.g., metabolic syndrome, patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, aneurysm clipping, or with recent TIAs) the risk for stroke is identifiable and significant, and preconditioning may represent a useful strategy for neuroprotection. For unpredictable injuries, post-conditioning the brain – or inducing endogenous protective mechanisms after the initial injury – can also abrogate the extent of injury. Finally, remote pre- and post-conditioning methods have been developed in animals, and are now being tested in clinical trials, wherein a brief, noninjurious stress to a noncerebral tissue (i.e., skeletal muscle) can provide protection to the CNS and thereby allows clinicians the opportunity to circumvent concerns regarding the direct preconditioning of neurological tissues.
