    There is an acute and growing awareness across the international investment community that annual reports and accounts currently provided too much emphasise on accounting profit - financial data, and that they are typically out of date before they are released. This is in a large part due to the regulatory environment with which companies must comply, as well as reflecting a tradition of market communication which avoids detail on how business value is created and sustained, concentrating instead on 'hard' financial data.

    In this Article, Professors Adler and Peirce examine the development and implications of the reasonable woman standard that is gaining increasing acceptance as the appropriate gauge for measuring the offensiveness of the conduct at issue in sexual harassment cases. The authors begin by reviewing the origins of sexual harassment law under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, paying particular attention to the history of hostile environment causes of action. Professors Adler and Peirce then discuss how and why the reasonable woman standard evolved as an alternative to the conventional reasonable man and reasonable person standards that had been the usual measures of culpable conduct in sexual harassment cases, and how courts have applied the reasonable woman standard in cases involving a wide range of allegedly harassing behaviors. The authors conclude by discussing a variety of important concerns raised by the implementation of the reasonable woman standard, including the fundamental question of whether it is fair to hold men to a standard of conduct that, because they are men, they may be unable to understand or appreciate fully

    PREVENTING the introduction of weeds to a farm is a far cheaper proposition compared to the expensive and laborious process of eradicating a well established infestation. Unfortunately most weeds establish themselves as plants before they are identified, the main reason being farmers are often unable to recognise weeds in the seed stage
