INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Lecture 4: Topics: Corporate Governance and Corporate Goals/Objective Models -- A Global View What is Corporate Governance? Bank for International Settlements definition: "The system of rights, processes, and controls established internally and externally over the management of a business entity with the objective of protecting the interest of stakeholders". Central Issue of corporate governance: How best to protect the interest of stakeholders. Another Issue: who are the relevant stakeholders that need protection? Corporate Governance: Background Recently corporate governance has become an issue in this country and abroad. Interest has been driven by three events: Expanding shareholder base of corporations and the resulting separation of owners and manager. Corporate abuses. The globalization of companies into non-resident financial markets. With the aim of raising capital in those markets. We will develop these themes throughout this lecture series. Possible Stakeholders McDonalds: "good corporate governance is critical to fulfilling the Company's obligation to shareholders." Honda: "Our [corporate governance] aim is to have our customers and society, as well as our shareholders and investors, place even greater trust in us and to ensure that Honda is a company that society wants to exist." Importance of Corporate Governance? Macro Implications: Because corporations play a key role in the generation and allocation of a country's resources. Micro Implications: In the increasing world of globalization, firms need to practice good corporate governance so as to: Continue to attract consumers and workers Have access to global financial markets! Historically, corporate governance appears to have been of greater concern among developed country corporations than developing country corporation! However, globalizations is forcing developing country corporations to assess their corporate governance structures Concerns of Different Stakeholders In reality, it is likely that different stakeholder groups will focus on different criteria in deciding what constitutes good corporate governance. Shareholders probably attach the greatest importance to maximizing the market value of the company's shares. The general public wants to be sure the corporation treats customers fairly and has sensitivity to its impact – socially and environmentally -- on the local community. Corporate employees want assurances the company will compensate them properly, provide opportunities for advancement, offer training and career development assistance, and help with their retirement planning. The issue for managers is what stakeholders to focus on. This impacts on corporate decisions, goals and objectives. Note the difference between McDonalds and Honda. Early 20th Century History of Corporate Governance in the U.S. In the decades leading up to the 20th century, most US corporations were dominated and controlled by wealthy individuals. The Morgans, Rockefellers, Carnegies and du Ponts. However by the 1920s/1930s, the pattern of US ownership of corporate equities had changed from these entrepreneurs to an expanding group of individual investors. At that time it was also recognized that there was a growing disparity between owners of firms and managers of firms. Thus the issues of agency problems and agency costs became relevant. Agency Problems and Agency Costs Agency problems arise when a principal (i.e., owner or shareholder) hires an agent (i.e., manager) to perform certain tasks, yet the agent does not share the principal's objective(s). Agency costs in corporations refers to the potential conflict of interest between principals (owners or shareholders) and agents (managers) in which agents have an incentive to act in their own self-interest. State Statues to Address Corporate Governance In response to the early 20th century changing ownership patterns of US corporations and the potential issue of agency costs a number of states, most notably Delaware, passed "enabling statutes" known as general corporation laws. These state statutes created a legal framework for stockholders investing in US corporations. Today, 50% of all U.S. publicly-traded companies and 58% of the Fortune 500 are chartered through the state of Delaware. Key Element in Early 20th Century Corporate Governance Boards of directors were seen as a potential solution to the agency cost issue. Thus, boards of directors were set up to exercise control over a company and they were seen as representing the interest of the stockholders. It was argued that these boards had fiduciary (i.e., legal) duties of loyalty to owners (shareholders) and they should ensure the "wise management of the corporation in the best interests of its owners." A key element in this process was the "independence of directors" from undue influence by interested parties (including managers). But were these early boards truly independent? The Stock Market Crash in 1929 The stock market crash of 1929 brought the Federal Government into the issue corporate governance for the first time. Congress passed the Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934 to restore confidence in the equity markets. 1933 Act: Established the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); requires registration with the SEC of securities offered for public sale and outlaws fraud in the sale of securities. 1934 Act: Regulates stock exchanges and requires corporate officers to report their trading in securities. These acts also require that public companies undergo an annual independent audit of their financial statements. The 1980s In the 1980s, the focus on corporate government shifted. The decade of the 1980s was characterized by a wave of hostile takeovers, leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, junk bond financing, "poison pills", and a general merger frenzy. Within this environment, shareholder interests again became an issue. But what was different in the 1980s was the growing role of large institutional investors -- banks, mutual funds, public and private pension funds. These institutions were taking on an increasingly activist role as corporate shareholders. The 1990s to the Present By 1990, the direct ownership of equities by households had fallen below 50% in the United States. And in the 1990s it was primarily institutional investors who were driving the issues of corporate control and accountability. Their focus was (and currently still is) on securing top performance from their investments. Today, these institutional investors hold about 60% of all listed corporate stock in the United States (about 70% in the largest 1,000 corporations). Impact of Corporate Abuses in the US on Corporate Governance In recent years, corporate governance legislation has become even more focused in the United States. Undoubtedly corporate abuses have contributed to this: Waste Management and Sunbeam (1998) and Enron (2001). Abuses resulted in passage of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002) This act requires the certification of financial reports by chief executive officers and chief financial officers Act assumes if companies are more transparent in what they are doing, managers will be less tempted to act in a way detrimental to owners. There is no similar regulation in foreign countries so there is also the issue of applying this act to foreign companies listed in the U.S Global Corporate Governance Globally, there are major challenges to the development of "good" (or at least uniform) corporate governance. These challenges stem from the fact among countries there is a wide diversity of laws, regulations, society norms, business cultures, attitudes towards business, ownership concentration, and political and market structures. Thus, the ability for implementing what we in the US might view as "good corporate governance" is often constrained by these differences. Differences in Ownership Concentrations Globally, ownership concentration varies widely. Country Average ownership of 3 largest shareholders United States 20% United Kingdom 19% Italy 58% Germany 48% Brazil 57% Mexico 64% United States and U.K. have a "diverse shareholder base." In other countries, often founding families control the companies. Question: Does concentration have an impact on control and oversight of managers (agents)? Ownership Impacts If ownership is concentrated, it is more likely that a small number of owners will find it relatively easy and advantageous to be involved in the direct monitoring of managers. Thus, in countries like Italy, Brazil and Mexico, a few large shareholders may play a significant role in corporate governance; but this is not necessarily the case in the U.S. and the U.K. (see previous slide). Therefore, in high concentration countries, agency cost may be reduced as owners and managers become better aligned. Differences in Legal Systems Currently, it is possible to identify 2 major legal systems: Common Law Based on precedent, formed by the rulings of independent judges regarding specific disputes. Originated in U.K. and spread throughout the world through British colonization (as well as independent adoption): United States, Australia, Canada, India, South Africa, Singapore, New Zealand. Civil Law Codification of legal rulings. Dominates legal systems globally. France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, China, Latin America, Legal Variations and Corporate Governance Studies have suggested that differences in legal systems may have in impact in variations in corporate governance. Reason: Legal systems vary in how well investors are protected. Shareholder Rights and the Legal System In civil law countries, the "state" has historically played a greater role in regulating economic activity but a less active role in protecting individual (e.g., private property) rights. On the other hand, English common law is more protective of private property and investor rights. Conclusion for investors: English common law offers the strongest protection for investors. Law and Ownership Concentration Civil law countries generally have greater ownership concentration ratios. Legal System Average ownership of 3 largest shareholders English Common 43% French Civil 54% Perhaps these higher concentration ratios are a response to relatively weaker investor protection laws in civil law countries? Or perhaps of the high concentration ratios are seen as alleviating the need for strong investor protection laws? Corporate Goals Corporate goals are specified targets which a company desires to achieve. In the United States, companies tend to produce rather well defined financial goals. For Example, FedEx Corporation Grow revenue by 10% per year Increase EPS by 10% -15% per year American company focus on financial goals is undoubtedly driven by the corporate model used in this country. Differences in "Corporate Model" There are 2 major corporate models in use in the world today: Shareholder Wealth Structure (aka, Anglo-American or Anglo-Saxon) Model: Believes that a firm's objective should be to maximize shareholder wealth. "Shareholder Wealth" countries include the US, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom. Corporate Wealth Structure (aka, Non-Anglo- American) Model: Believe that a firm's objective should be to maximize corporate wealth (which includes all stakeholders; e.g., employees, community, banks, owners) "Corporate Wealth" countries include the EU, Japan and Latin American countries. Shareholder Wealth Model This model focuses on the importance of shareholders to the corporate structure. Wealth is seen as strictly "financial." Within this context, management tools measure impact of their decisions on equity (common stock) values. Shareholder Wealth capital budgeting techniques include: Net Present Value Internal Rates of Return These are aimed at securing returns greater than the firm's cost of capital and thereby increasing returns to shareholders. Within this model, there is a general acceptance of "hostile" takeovers to ensure appropriate financial performance. Again this is seen as benefiting shareholders. Corporate Wealth Model The focus of the corporate wealth model is much broader than the Shareholder Wealth viewpoint. Under the Corporate Wealth Model, consideration of corporate decisions is given to a wider range of interests, including employees, the community, the country, shareholders, lenders... The Corporate Wealth model came about because of distrust of "unrestricted" capitalism especially in Latin America and post World War II Europe (thus, the phrase in search of a "Third- Way" – a middle ground between capitalism and socialism). Corporate Wealth Model In Continental Europe and Asia we the corporate wealth model includes: Advisory Committees (with labor representation): important in Europe as part of corporate structures and involved by law in corporate decisions. Strict labor laws (e.g., on firing employees) in Europe. Life time employment concept in Japan in early post war years. Weakened substantially in Japan in the 1990s. Less attention in Japan of Anglo Saxon capital budgeting techniques; especially equity cost of capital. Payback analysis preferred. Friendly takeovers are the rule in corporate wealth countries. Although this is changing somewhat, e.g., in Japan and in Europe we are beginning to see hostile takeovers. Mergers and Acquisitions in Japan and Germany: Historical Data Japan: Between 1985 and 1989, mergers and acquisitions accounted for just over 3% of the total market capitalization, and all were friendly transactions. Germany: Between 1985 and 1989, only 2.3% of the market value of listed stocks were involved in mergers and acquisitions, compared with more than 40% in the U.S. Historically, in both Japan and Germany mergers have tended to be friendly, arranged deals, rather than hostile takeovers. "Equity" Cultural Differences Shareholder Wealth countries (U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada) Have a well developed equity culture: There is an understanding and acceptance of ownership and, especially, equity capital risk. Thus, equity capital is an important source of funds for corporate financing in these countries. But, perhaps, the equity culture also affects corporate goals and management decisions. Management tends to focus on shareholders. "Equity" Cultural Differences Corporate Wealth countries (Continental Europe and many Asian countries) Historically, relatively less developed equity culture. In Japan and Germany the percent of households holding common stock (in direct form) is roughly half that of the US. Risk is not as well understood or tolerated. Thus in these countries there has historically been a reliance on debt and bank financing. Bond financing important in Japan and commercial bank financing in Germany. These countries also tend to develop interlocking relationships. Banks own approximately 14% of shares of German corporations, while roughly 40% are owned by other German corporations. Keiretsu in Japan and Chaebol in South Korea The Future: Are the Two Models Finding a Middle Ground? Starbucks, Corporate Social Responsibility: "… conducting business in ways that produces social, environmental, and economic benefits for the communities in which we operate." Many Japanese companies are now concern with Anglo- American financial performance. In 1999, Nissan hired a Frenchman, Carlos Ghosn (known as the "cost cutter") as their CEO to turn the company around. One year after he arrived, Nissan's net profit climbed to $2.7 billion from a loss of $6.1 billion in the previous year. In 2005, Sony hired an American, Howard Stringer as their CEO. He has set an operating profit margin goal of 5% for the company by 2008. Governance and Transparency Among the World's Central Banks Financial markets and financial organizations (e.g., central banks) around the world are also working to become more transparent. All central banks now publish their web sites in English. http://www.bis.org/cbanks.htm

Hot answers tagged volume-control
If you are rooted, you can try one of the following 1.NoSafeVolumeWarning in Xposed Framework 2 .Media Tweak Settings in Gravity Box
The problem with understanding any physical buttons on an Android, is that they are extremely hardware dependent. Usually they're connected to some GPIO port on either the application processor (AP) or cellular processor (CP/modem), and on some devices (MTK,Qualcomm) these are combined in a SoC. In other devices, there is a separate touch screen MCU, that ...
Once you are rooted, goto settings/sounds/volumes. Unchecked the safe headphone volume box and agree to warning about potential damage to your ears. That's what I did on my Nexus 7 w/4.4.4 ROM.
Some versions of CyanogenMod have the "Volume rocker" option in Settings → Display; if this option is selected, volume buttons will wake up the phone. There are also other ways to get this behavior (e.g., the GravityBox module for Xposed has the "Volume rocker wake" option in the "Navigation keys actions" screen).
The only way I'm aware of to set media volume outside of an app is to go into the Settings. Specifically, Settings → Sound & notification should give you separate sliders for each of the available volume channels. You'll want to turn down the top one ("Media volume"). On some custom ROMs it may be possible to do this slightly differently. Older versions ...
On many devices there is a setting that can control this. It is also included in many custom ROMs. In Settings > Sounds there should be an option for Increasing ring volume If you turn this off, the ringtone will start at the volume you have set, rather than starting at a lower volume and increasing over the duration of the ringtone.
A root tweak is one option but if you don't want to do this, SoundHUD (avaliable here) will bring more traditional volume controls back to Lollipop. The app has lots of configuration options too.
The problem was caused by an app that I installed for allowing the company I work for to page me. This proprietary app had a bug that caused it to drop the in-call volume during a call; Updating the app fixed the problem.
An option for you might be the Silent Mode Widget. It puts a widget on your homescreen to silence / restore your volume settings with a single tap. (I have not tried this app. There also appear to be several other similar apps that you might try instead.)
There are several ways to get your volume levels back. Personally I like to use the IFTTT app to set my ringer volume to maximum when I connect to my home WiFi. (recipe) If you want to fix your volume at a specific time, say, you can create a new recipe using the Date & Time Channel.
I know this is a really old thread, but I just bought a bluetooth speaker - a CANZ speaker. It sounds great, capturing all wavelength for pure beats, vocal and instrument separation but it is LOUD - on 1. I went into the standard media player and found the settings and tapped advanced. I was able to lower the whole EQ band by band and found a great volume. ...

Microphone Array Design for Localization with Elevation Cues
Analysis of the HRTF characteristics with respect to both azimut and elevation localisation cues would seem to suggest that, whilst inter-aural time difference and inter-aural level difference information give strong azimut localisation cues, we only have spectral variations in the vertical plane to generate localisation cues with respect to elevation. Of course positioning of a 2nd layer of loudspeakers above the horizontal reference plane will already introduce listener spectral differences relative to the horizontal plane reproduction, but the microphone array that feeds this 2nd layer must not generate information that will be in conflict with the localisation cues already generated in the horizontal plane of the 1st layer or main array. In the event of Time Difference and Level Difference information being generated between microphones in both layers, localisation characteristics must be considered as projected onto the main horizontal plane of localisation information.

Hey babe, I'm really, really sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how tough that must be and I'm sure you're feeling all kinds of emotions that are new and confusing to you. Please know that you can get support and that things WILL get better in time.
I know it's not gonna be easy, but you need to get your feelings out so you don't bottle it all up inside. Even if it's not talking to anyone about it just yet, try jotting your thoughts down in a journal once a day. It's a lot more helpful than you might think. Write down some of your favorite memories you had with your friend. You could even pen her a letter telling her how you feel or what you'd really like to tell her.
I'm sure you're not the only one feeling the way you do right now. Your other friends are probably experiencing the same sort of thing, and it could be helpful if you all sat down and talked about it. It's comforting to know you're not alone.
Another way to get help? Turn to your parents. They love you and want you to be happy and healthy. If you want to start seeing a counselor, ask them for advice. Even if your school doesn't have one, search your local church or place of worship for someone to talk to or even a support group. There are other people who know what you're dealing with.
It's going to take time for healing and it's totally normal to be grieving the way you are. You've got tons of GL girls here that love you and are always here if ya need to talk!
Check out our Tough Stuff page for a bunch of articles and advice on dealing with loss.

REGULAR SEASON & PLAYOFFS (Prize-Eligible Leagues)
Bragging rights are what the game is all about. If your team has made the playoffs, then you are one step closer to attaining the ultimate prize! But first, a few notes on the 2008 Fantasy Football regular season and schedule.
LIVE SCORING (all season long!)
ESPN Fantasy Football provides Live-Scoring, free-of-charge, all season long. The live-scoring is displayed from your standings and Clubhouse pages.
It's possible that over the course of the season some scoring plays and player statistics are modified, for example a running back's actual yardage may be adjusted post-game. In most cases these adjustments will be made within 24-hours. The deadline for all weekly scoring or stat corrections made by the system is Saturday the same week. For example, a change to a Monday Night Football game player statistic may be changed as late as Saturday. Any changes entered in the system will automatically reflect in both your Box Score and Standings pages.
ESPN has set thirteen (13) weeks in the regular season for Free-Standard and Prize-Eligible Leagues. This is a fixed setting and thus cannot be altered. If you wish to play in a league which offers flexible regular season and playoff schedules, you must create or join a Custom league.
Your league has battled it out throughout the regular season and you're now ready to see who can win when it really matters - in the Playoffs! Plus you are competing for more than fantasy glory, you are competing for PRIZES! This page details how the playoff system works in ESPN Fantasy Football Prize-Eligible Leagues.
The fantasy playoffs begin in the 14th week of the NFL regular season. In the Playoffs, the head-to-head matchups are a bit different than the regular season. During the playoffs, the matchups are TWO (2) weeks in duration instead of one. Think of it as each week representing a "half".
Round One of the playoffs takes place during the 14th and 15th weeks of the NFL regular season, while Round Two spans the two final weeks of the NFL regular season (weeks 16 and 17).
In each playoff round, the team with the highest combined point total after two weeks advances. Each team will have the opportunity to change their active roster between each week (essentially "halftime") of playoff play.
All teams continue to compete throughout the playoffs. The top four teams – the two Divisional Champions and two wild card teams (teams with the next best overall records) compete for the League Championship. The wild card teams may come from either division and are selected by their records, with ties resolved according to the tiebreaker categories below. The top-ranked division champ plays the lowest-ranked wild card team i.e. the first place team faces the fourth place team while the second place team faces the third place team.
The remaining teams compete in the consolation bracket. Though out of the running for the championship, this consolation bracket is still competitive since no one wants to finish in last place! Plus, don't forget, your final place in the standings may be reflected in your Uber Challenge results! So finishing the season in the highest possible rank is definitely desirable! For more information on ESPN Uber Challenge, click here
Prize-Eligible League Playoffs: Playoff Seeding and Tie-Breakers
In the event that two or more teams have identical won-loss records at the conclusion of the Fantasy Football regular season, and have played the same number of head-to-head games between them, the following tiebreaking system is employed:
1 - Overall record *
2 - Overall points scored
3 - Head-to-head record
4 - Division record
5 - Overall points-against
6 - Coin Flip
NOTE: The Overall record is based on winning percentage. Therefore, a team that is 8-5-0 and a team that is 7-4-2 have the same winning percentage, and thus would be considered tied for overall record.
In the event that three or more teams have identical win-loss records at the conclusion of the season and have played a different number of head-to-head games between them, head-to-head records are not used as a tiebreaker. Instead, the following tiebreaking system is employed:
1 - Overall record
2 - Overall points scored
3 - Division record
4 - Overall points-against
5 - Coin Flip
NOTE: If there is a tie between three or more teams, and one team advances out of the tiebreaker, the remaining teams are then compared starting at the beginning of the tiebreaking formula until all ties are settled.
Standard League Playoffs: Tiebreaker for Playoff Games
In the event that two teams have the same number of points at the conclusion of their two-week playoff game, the tiebreaker for playoff games is each team's original seeding in the playoffs. In short, the team with the higher seed wins.
Playoff Schedule
Winner's Bracket: In the first round of the playoffs, the division winner with the best win-loss record plays the wild-card team with the worst win-loss record; the other division winner plays the wild-card team with the better win-loss record. In the second round, the winners of the first-round games (see table below) compete for the league championship. Each round of the playoffs spans a two-week period. The 5th through 10th-seeded teams in each league compete in the consolation bracket.
Final league standings following the second round of the playoffs
From the Winner's bracket:
1st place - Winner of game 1, round 2
2nd place - Loser of game 1, round 2
3rd place - Winner of game 2, round 2
4th place - Loser of game 2, round 2
From the Consolation bracket:
5th place - Winner of game 1, round 2
6th place - Winner of game 2, round 2
7th place - Loser of game 1, round 2
8th place - Winner of game 3, round 2
9th place - Loser of game 2, round 2
10th place - Loser of game 3, round 2

I'm currently TTC#1 and have been quite secretive about this. I dont like lying to ppl so when Im asked about when Im going to have a baby I usually say a vague answer like 'I dont know' or 'not for a while' (9+ months is while right ).

We didn't tell people we were trying in case it didn't happen but then we didn't announce we were pregnant until 12 weeks either.
I didn't want the questions like "Are you pregnant yet??" if we ended up having trouble conceiving or having to untell everyone if we announced and then lost it early. And I hate drawing attention to myself as well.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 11:28 AM
Nope, we didn't tell anyone and just kept it to ourselves.
If we do again, it will be the same thing. Just Dh and I and again I won't be telling anyone I'm pregnant till 16 weeks.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 11:28 AM
I was going to say no & then realised we have told a few people we are TTC. When asked, we tell people children are on the radar, but just not at the moment.
Thankfully the people we have told are not asking us every second if we are pregnant. They know quite well we will tell when we are ready.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 11:33 AM
My parents and siblings know. My gyno knows (she's a person, right?) and a couple girlfriends know. Aside from that and EB-peeps, no.
I haven't had a direct "we tryin' to TTC!" with DH's parents but we've talked about hypothetical children and blah blah blah so since we've been married several years I assume they know what could happen.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 11:35 AM
We didn't tell anyone. In fact, quite the opposite, everyone thought we'd decided not to have kids. Was MUCH easier for me as I didn't get bugged about it by anyone, and if I had an orange juice at lunch I didn't have everyone staring at my tummy. If people did ask if/when we were going to have kids, I'd just say 'not this week' and laugh it off.

See I don't drink & never have, so I don't actully have this problem either.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 11:46 AM
We did, but I have issues which hamper fertility and we didn't want to hear the "when are you having kids" as we assumed (along with my dr) that we would need some assistance (which we were not going to seek for 2 years) We also announced to our family at about 5/6 weeks and to our friends at 9 or 10 weeks. Reason being we were seeing majority of our friends due to two parties on the same weekend so we could tell them in person, and also we had seen the heart beat 3 weeks ago and whilst I had a subchronic heamotoma to us it was very real and these are people we would have told had we had a miscarriage. We told our wider circle and made it Facebook official at 12 weeks.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 11:53 AM
DH and I made a bit of a joke about it when we started TTC conceive thinking it would happen within a couple of months...
Fast forward three years and IVF, we eventually got there... worst thing we ever did telling people, alot of my friends became uncomfortable around me and often were not sure what to say - I felt very abandoned at times.
So, if I were you, keep it quiet as long as you can, you don't need the pressure.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 12:42 PM
We didn't tell anyone when we were TTC #1, I didn't want people asking me all the time if I was pregnant yet.
I did tell a few close friends when I was 6 weeks pregnant, only to have a miscarriage at 9 weeks, so then had to un-tell them Made me glad I hadn't told our familes or other friends yet.
So then those same friends obviously knew we would be TTC again.
This time around I have only told my 2 best friends we are TTC, as they've both been pregnant in the last year and told me straight away (one of them even told me before she told her husband lol!) so I know I can trust them and they won't be asking me if I'm pregnant every 5 minutes. I personally prefer not telling people when we are TTC, as if they know it makes me feel a bit more pressure for it to happen quickly, when we actually have no say in when it's going to happen
Edited by ~Peaches~, 16 January 2013 - 01:01 PM.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 12:45 PM
Nope we were not telling anyone, when it happens we will.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 01:28 PM
For #1 we didnt tell anyone, we were just married so it might have been obvious! This time round for #2 we are keeping it to ourselves again, except I have told a close friend, only for support (as this is taking longer than I expected). When people ask when we are having another, I have just said, hopefully this year sometime, vague but not lying either not that there is anything wrong with lying about it, it is, quite frankly, no one elses business but you and your DP.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 01:42 PM
We didn't tell anyone with DS1. We're not married so we weren't getting 'when will you have kids?' questions so it was quite easy.
It felt weird to me to announce it actually. You're effectively letting people know that yes, you will be having lots of sex over the coming months.
We also didn't tell anyone until we were past the 12 week check. I knew I wouldn't cope very well if family got all excited about having a baby and then I had to break the news to them that actually the grandchild/niece/nephew wouldn't be arriving after all. I knew I'd tell them if I did miscarry but at least they would feel sad for me and support me through it, rather than feel sad for themselves,which would make me feel like I'd let them down.
My sister didn't get it at all and when we announced our pregnancy with DS1 (in person with all my closest family there as 12 weeks coincided with the Easter holiday) she was quite offended that I hadn't at least told her! Which of course made things all about her, the reason I hadn't mentioned it earlier!
With DS2 a few close friends knew of the planning and my Mother's Group knew of the pregnancy early on, but no one else until after 12 weeks.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 04:24 PM
I would never tell family (even though mum is DESPERATE for grandkids). It would just be "Are you pregnant yet?! Are you pregnant yet?!" all the time.
We get asked a fair bit if we're planning to have kids soon. I have to lie and say "maybe... we're not really thinking about it yet" while inside I'm screaming "YES! WE"RE TRYING BUT IT'S NOT WORKING!!!". Or I have to pretend that I don't want kids to stop them asking again. It's awful!
I have told my best friend and it's wonderful to hear about her TTC frustrations (she also had a MC before having her first, so I know if I do ever have one she will be the best shoulder to cry on).
At 33, there aren't many friends left that don't already have kids. So EB is my safe space for venting for sure!
Posted 16 January 2013 - 04:32 PM
Quite a few people know ... my close friends, parents, my cousin, and a couple of my clients (as I am very close with some of my clients .. and they are actually friends, who happen to pay me money. ha!). I am a very open person by nature.
They are all very supportive ... most have kiddies of their own, and had to go through all sorts to 'get' their kiddies, so its great to be able to have an open chat and learn from their experiences and share where I am at.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 04:35 PM
We told people the first time, but not the second time.
Am I the only one who thinks it's rude to ask people if they're TTC?
Posted 16 January 2013 - 04:37 PM
We are keeping it to ourselves, not telling a sole (except GP for health issues).
We made it very clear when we were married that we would be waiting for 5 years before even thinking about TCC so we didnt get asked often BUT now we have been married for over 5 years and people are starting to ask. i just have a giggle and make some vague responses to any questions.
In theory we dont plan to share our news till 12 weeks but my husband cannot hold water in a cup - so we will see how that pans out if we are fortunate to fall... =)
Posted 16 January 2013 - 04:56 PM
There are at least six couples in our group of friends who are TTC #1, including us, so lots of people know! Hopefully it won't bite us in the bum if there are problems, so far it has been a very supportive and informative situation.
My parents do not know, but assume we must be and have been hassling me since our wedding only a few months ago. "Are you pregnant yet? Why not? What's WRONG??!!!" We won't be telling them that we are actively TTC until I am 12 weeks, regardless of how long that takes.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 05:00 PM
At the moment we're trying to TTC- so haven't actually begun the IUIs yet, although we've got a donor and DP has done all the tests and we've done the counselling. We just need the donations and to wait out the quarantine period. So we should be able to begin the IUI in June.
We've told my mum and DPs mum and DPs sister and my sister and brother and nearly all of our friends that we're planning to have a baby. We've been planning for years, though, so they're probably wondering why we're taking so long. I don't really want to inform them about all the finer points of TTC through ART, though. They can just assume that we had other priorities instead, or decided to wait til we had better jobs, etc., or anything else they like.
I would love to not tell anyone til the 12 week point when/if we get pregnant, but I think DP wants to tell people. I don't want to tell anyone the sex, either, so we don't get lots of pastel pink and blue, but I think DP might want to tell people.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 05:07 PM
I doubt it.. most people think we are 'childless by choice' and it wouldn't occur to them that we were trying "at our age'...
I was forced to tell my family about the IVF due to a family tragedy - however that was so long ago now I assume they think we've given up.
3 people knew about my miscarriage and two of them was by accident (called me at the wrong time and asked why I was crying).
I am a private person......
Posted 16 January 2013 - 05:16 PM
I've had a discussion with several close friends and my sister about general plans for when we might think about trying to have kids, in the context of them and their children mostly. None of them are the type to be asking if I'm pregnant - I think they understand I'd tell them when I was ready.
I think it is rude to ask if/when people are having kids for the sake of gossip but with close friends it can come up in conversation without being rude.

Charlotte Morgan sweeps national player of the week awards
Published: Tuesday, April 8, 2008 at 1:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 8, 2008 at 1:31 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Charlotte Morgan was named national player of the week by both USA Softball and the National Fastpitch Coaches Association for her play with the second-ranked University of Alabama last week.
The sophomore from Moreno Valley, Calif., batted .538 (7-for-13) for the week with two home runs, three doubles, six RBIs and three runs scored. She also pitched a pair of complete-game victories over No. 10 LSU to improve to 9-0 on the season.
It is really an honor, Morgan told USA Softball. Every time our team takes the field our goal is to find a way to win, and I will do whatever it takes to help us accomplish that goal.
I love being able to contribute both at the plate and in the circle, just anything that will help us win.
Morgan allowed just one run in 12 innings as a pitcher with eight strikeouts. LSU batted just .140 against her in two outings.
As a hitter she went 2-for-3 in last weeks mid-week game at Samford. She then went .500 against LSU in three games, playing first base when she didnt pitch. She hit a dramatic three-run walkoff home run to give the Crimson Tide a 9-8, 10-inning victory in the first game against the Tigers and added a two-run shot in the series finale.
Charlotte did a little bit of everything for us this weekend and we are excited to see her rewarded for her efforts, UA coach Patrick Murphy said. Every time we needed a big hit she came through, and in the circle she was in complete command of a very dangerous LSU lineup over the final two games.
Alabama (35-3) held onto its No. 2 ranking in the USA Today/NFCA coaches' poll and is still No. 3 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25.
Alabama begins a seven-game road swing Thursday at Troy. The Tide will play at Auburn in a three-game series this weekend and will play the U.S. Olympic team in an exhibition next Tuesday, April 15, at Liberty Park in Birmingham.

The Carmarthenshire town of Llandeilo isn't quite as stuck in the sticks as the rural location suggests. As well as being home to a branch of fashion store Toast and a glamorous new boutique hotel, it also boasts one of the best small delis in Wales. Originally a 17thcentury pub, this well-stocked foodie emporium has a wide range of local, British and European produce from pickles, cheeses and cold cuts to organic bread, herbs and – on Fridays – fresh fish.

Samsung Galaxy S II [AT&T] Ice Cream Sandwich alpha build hands-on
Now that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is out in the wild and the source is available to all we are starting to see a few ICS ROM's appearing for select handsets. This is not a port from the SDK but a ROM built and modified right from the source code. What I have for you today is the highly popular Samsung Galaxy S II running the latest and greatest 4.0 ICS from Google. Remember this is very much an alpha build and not remotely close to being finished -- but it's still fun to use and enjoy as well as show all of you.

There is no point in life in which forts cease to be fun. Take almost any activity that you do in your living room: Place it in a fort, and that activity becomes 200% more fun. For instance, movie night becomes movie night in a fort. Reading a good book becomes hiding out in a fort, reading a good book. Painting your nails becomes painting your nails in a fort. A fort can make any activity seem clandestine and exciting. For fort inspiration, have a look at the following five project ideas. Indoors or outdoors, a fort is an excellent DIY project to put on your to-do list.
Building the Ultimate DIY Fort
The living room fort: How many ways can you build a living room fort? As many as you can dream up. Can you create a built structure in your living room to promote fort building? Yes you can! You could build a tent or tipi in the living room, or you could create a little booth with cloth walls. Maybe some kind of loft would suit your fancy!
Tree house fort: Blogger The Handmade Home built a totally rockin' tree house fort in their back yard. Huck Finn could have lived in this tree house. Have a look and tell me what kind of mischief/fixing the world Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn could have done in that tree house.

Forma Adventure Boots

Confused on sizing
So my wife ordered me a pair of these last week. We ordered them on the Atomic Moto web site, and in the sizing drop down menu it listed a 44 EU/9.5 US...I'm a US 9.5, so that's what we ordered. I received a pair of boots that have EU44 in the boot, but US10 on the box...and just to confuse things further, I went on the Forma site to look at their sizing chart, and they list a US9 as EU42, US10 as EU43, and US10.5 as EU44.
These feel a little bit big on me. If I was in a store with a selection on the shelf, I would be trying on smaller sizes to see what felt best.
What gives? Are true US9.5 not available? Is the Atomic Moto drop down menu inaccurate?
I really like the boot, but I was hoping to finally be in a quality pair of boots that fit me correctly.
Thanks in advance.

Blog: Think you know the future for rum? Join the club
Andy Morton | 9 May 2014
It was the biggest swing in London since the '60s.
Presented with the motion "The future for rum lies with connoisseurs not clubbers", the audience at last night's Worshipful Company of Distillers debate looked odds-on to uphold it, after a pre-event poll showed a majority in its favour. An hour, and a second vote, later, though, and the room had turned.
To be fair to Ed Pilkington, Diageo's Western Europe marketing head and whose job it was to support the motion, he was up against it. His adversary on the night, former Bacardi man Chris Searle, only had to open his speech with the words "clubbers are many, connoisseurs are few", and the debate, for my money, was over.
We were, after all, in the JP Morgan suite at the old Prudential insurance headquarters in the city of London, the financial capital of the world. Most of the 150-strong audience were analysts, brokers or people otherwise engaged in the pursuit of money.
Pilkington's attempt to persuade them that the niche world of collectors and spirits aficionados could support rum's growth appeared lightweight when compared to Searle's description of a huge clubbing consumer base that is getting bigger by the year.
"Clubbers are aspirational, and going global," Searle said. "And their numbers are compelling for the future of rum."
For many of us in the audience, it was case closed.

What time does your kids school start? Do you feel like it is too early?
School start time
What's a later HS start time?
9:15 - 3:45 for my kids' school. I love it! We are NOT morning people around here.
We live in a large district and start times vary throughout. The late bell was actually a factor in our decision to stay at their current school - I had considered moving to a nearby school with slightly different academic offerings, but it started at 7:40. No thanks.
When I was in HS we started @ 7:45 and got out @ 2:45. The school I work at (nursery thru 8th grade) starts @ 8:00 and get out @ 3:00. Also most kids stay after for other activities that end @ 4:30. Also the school I work at starts back Sept. 3 and ends June 12.

mom to Brian 3/07, Kevin & Patrick 4/09, angels Elisabeth ^11/12^ and Kacey ^1/14^ and our rainbow Finn 12/30/14
It's so weird to me to see that different schools in the same area start at different times. Around here, elementary, middle, and high schools all start at 7:45. But we share busses between schools, too. Like a bus will run its route, then drop kids off at 3 different schools.

Similar packages:
MirBSD Korn Shell
mksh is the successor of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh), a Bourne/POSIX compatible shell which is largely similar to the original AT&T Korn Shell (ksh88/ksh93). It includes bug fixes and feature improvements, in order to produce a modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use. mksh has UTF-8 support (in string operations and the Emacs editing mode). The code has been cleaned up and simplified, bugs fixed, standards compliance added, and several enhancements (for extended compatibility to other modern shells, as well as a couple of its own) are available. This shell is Debian Policy 10.4 compliant and may be used as /bin/sh on Debian systems (the /bin/lksh binary should be used for this), and as rescue and initrd shell (especially the /bin/mksh-static binary).
The mksh-static binary is a version of mksh, linked against klibc or dietlibc (if they exist for that Debian architecture and are usable) and optimised for small code size, for example for use on initrd or initramfs images, installation or rescue systems, or /bin/sh on slow architectures. It omits some leaf features to be even smaller.
The lksh binary is a script shell based on mksh intended to run old ksh88 and pdksh scripts, but not for interactive use. When used as /bin/sh it follows POSIX most closely.
A sample ~/.mkshrc is included in /usr/share/doc/mksh/examples and provided as /etc/mkshrc conffile, which is sourced by another file /etc/skel/.mkshrc users are recommended to copy into their home.

Has anyone had any experiences with Grin & Bare It Charters?
My wife and I are looking for a charter that is clothing optional and google searches keep coming up with Grin And Bare It Charters out of Tampa. But there aren't any reviews on TripAdvisor which makes me a little bit nervous.

Superior Chevrolet Body Center
The Body Center at Superior Chevrolet is able to restore your GM vehicle's safety, comfort, and performance. Here's where you can schedule an appointment, learn what to expect from our body center experts, the reasons for using genuine GM parts, related collision repair information and other services we offer to Atlanta and other nearby communities.
Why Bring Your Vehicle to Us?
What to Expect
Our Certified Service technicians are trained by GM to know every inch of your GM vehicle. We know you want to feel as good about your vehicle today as you did the day you bought it and our Certified Service technicians have the skills and finesse you need to restore your vehicle so it will look and feel like new. You won't find a better Chevrolet Body Center in Atlanta or the surrounding communities than you will at Superior Chevrolet.
We'll create a written estimate of what's recommended to complete the repair of your vehicle and we will offer Genuine GM Parts in the repair. In addition, if there is other service work that is required to restore your vehicle to pre-accident condition, we have Certified Service technicians on hand. We will review this estimate with you and address any questions you may have. Our goal is to be the best Chevrolet Body Center in the Atlanta area and become the go-to for all Chevrolet repair needs.
