When To Save Or Abandon A Troubled Brandby Brad VanAuken The Blake Project
We are happy to answer marketing questions of all types here on Branding Strategy Insider. Today's question comes from Karen, a Marketing Director in Cleveland, Ohio. She writes…
"We have a decision to make regarding the fate of a specialty brand of hardwood flooring. It has been in the market for the past two years — failing tremendously. I am stuck on whether or not to start the brand over or to rebuild it. I personally feel that the brand has a reputation in the industry as a serious failure. Anytime anyone discusses it, they almost laugh about it. I think it would be smarter to abandon the brand and start over with a new brand. What do you suggest? Rebuild or start over?"
Thanks for your question Karen. As you have indicated, your options are to reposition/re-launch the brand or launch a new brand. Either way, it will require a significant communications effort over time to build awareness or change perceptions. And, it is far easier to build brand awareness than it is to change brand perceptions with marketing communications.
I would measure top-of-mind and other unaided brand awareness within your brand's product category by your brand's target customers. I would do this blind (coming from a third party, not your company) to get an unbiased read. Further, I would measure brand perceptions: (a) top-of-mind, open ended question ("Thinking of brand "XYZ," what comes to your mind?), (b) against a battery of brand and product category attributes and benefits (close ended) and (c) against a battery of brand personality attributes (close ended).
If the brand has low or very low awareness, you have the flexibility of repositioning/re-launching the brand or introducing a new brand. If the brand has moderately-high to high brand awareness and significant negative associations, it would be better to launch a new brand. If the brand has moderately-high to high brand awareness and mixed or positive associations, while you could still launch a new brand it might be worthwhile to reposition/re-launch the existing brand so as not to walk away from its awareness advantage. Given what you have shared with us, I am assuming that the brand would not have predominantly positive associations, so this is not a path we need to go down (though, if it did, it would be best to stick with that brand).

Abstract: A review of research activities on opto-microfluidic sensors carried out by the research groups in Canada is presented. After a brief introduction of this exciting research field, detailed discussion is focused on different techniques for the fabrication of opto-microfluidic sensors, and various applications of these devices for bioanalysis, chemical detection, and optical measurement. Our current research on femtosecond laser microfabrication of optofluidic devices is introduced and some experimental results are elaborated. The research on opto-microfluidics provides highly sensitive opto-microfluidic sensors for practical applications with significant advantages of portability, efficiency, sensitivity, versatility, and low cost.

Cheers: To Jason Witten, good old No. 82. If ever there was a "shining" example of how a professional athlete should be, he is: eight-time Pro-Bowl selection, MVP and most notably the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year Award winner -- and a devoted husband and father to boot! An excellent role model.-- Barry D. Wilson, North Richland Hi llsJeers: To our Texas senators for voting "no" on John Kerry as secretary of state. They were two of only three who voted "no" out of 97 senators. In this critical time, we need compromise, not political partisanship.-- Kerri McNabb, EulessJeers: To the local TV stations for not televising the Stock Show parade. Many senior citizens and the disabled are not able to get downtown to view this part of Texas history.-- Janet Morse, BenbrookCheers: To my wonderful neighbor, Andy Anderson. With my painful back, it's difficult for me to roll the garbage and recycling bins to the curb. He has been doing this for me for months. He also places my newspaper at the front door where I can easily pick it up.-- Betty Christian, Fort WorthCheers: To the volunteers of the Lake Worth Senior Association. They sponsor quilt raffles, mail packages overseas to our servicemen and women, and award scholarships to Lake Worth High School. They volunteer their time teaching classes. They are heroes to the community and true volunteers who make a difference.-- Joyce Tidwell-Hardin, Fort WorthCheers: To the lady who found my purse and turned it in at Kroger on Altamesa Boulevard on New Year's Eve. This could have created a financial loss for me, plus the hassle of replacement. A wonderful confirmation that there's lots of good in this world. May you be blessed.-- Peggy P. Barnard, Fort WorthCheers: To over 100 men and women, members of NorthWood Church in Northeast Tarrant County, for serving a God they trust by cleaning and enlarging the park and new ballfield at the Haltom City Senior Center. They worked hard all day one Saturday.-- Geraldine Lewis, Haltom CityCheers: To the Section 2 usher at the Feb. 2 morning Stock Show Rodeo. My daughter's seat broke during the show, and I assumed she would have to sit elsewhere. Instead, a repairman appeared within minutes.-- Kelly Soter-Gunn, Fort WorthCheers: To Renen Williams, DDS, and his caring staff for the help they gave my mother, Norma Jones. Thank you from a very grateful heart.-- Stephanie Duke, North Richland HillsJeers: To the luxury home development off White Settlement Road. The runoff from your fancy, million-dollar homes has ruined that section of the Trinity Trail. Do the right thing and contribute money to Streams and Valleys to repair the damage you have caused to our trail.-- Carol Murray, Fort WorthCheers: To Paul on the Fort Worth Rodeo Amon Carter Garage crew. When a pickup had overstayed its time slot after Saturday's matinee, he worked it out so I could go into the midway and rodeo with my family. He's a fine representative of Fort Worth hospitality and rodeo staff.-- Mark Mourer, BenbrookCheers: To the nice lady at Wal-Mart who insisted that I go ahead of her in the checkout line since I only had one item. Such courtesy is rare these days.-- Gerald D. Smith, Fort WorthCheers: And deepest gratitude to the Wal-Mart shopping cart attendant in Burleson for finding my sister's purse in a cart and returning it to customer service. Jeers to me for waiting so long to recognize this fine young man. We are both extremely grateful to him-- Suzanne Hardin and Lottie Sanders,BurlesonCheers: To Dr. Kraig Pepper, all the people at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth and all the ladies from Encompass Home Health for therapy after a recent hip replacement. This was truly excellent and professional care. Thank you all so much.-- William J. Mahoney, Fort WorthCheers: To the wonderful person who found my purse in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Grapevine and turned it in to the service department. I don't know who you are, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God bless you.-- Linda Jennings, GrapevineCheers: To H&E Movers and the professional service they provided during my mother's move to her new home. A special cheers to Manny and his crew. They were an excellent crew who did an excellent job!-- Judith Tarvin, Fort WorthCheers: To Hailey Mazda of Hurst for the most pleasant and relaxed experiences in buying a car. Our salesman, Jacob Bass, was great. Thanks also to Chris Devero, Andrew Severage and owner Adam Berman, who made sure we were treated OK. Thanks to Beth Selvera for the input.-- Al and Candace Babina, Grand PrairieCheers: To Maria, who works in the men's department at Dillard's in Ridgmar mall! She saw me struggling with a heavy torn bag with items from another department and voluntarily repacked items in two bags, making it more secure and less heavy. I appreciate her kindness and excellent customer relations.-- Virginia Malone, Fort WorthCheers: To the Culinary School of Fort Worth. We hosted a rehearsal dinner there. From the front office, to the chef who planned as well as introduced each course, to the students who prepared the meal, this event was delightful. We highly recommend this venue for your next special event.-- Kay Lewis, Fort WorthCheers: To the guardian angel who dispatched EMTs upon discovering my fiance unconscious from a motorcycle accident Oct. 10. Immediate care was crucial. Cheers also to JPS Trauma ICU staff, Baylor Rehab and Pate Rehabilitation. Jack's progress is miraculous thanks to prayer and support from wonderful friends and excellent care.-- Debbie Smith, Fort WorthJeers: To politicians in Austin for turning our schools into "testing factories" and squandering over $1 billion of taxpayer money on a test consulting firm. Fund education and return our schools to the local districts.-- Philip Arthur, BedfordCheers: To the person who paid for our groceries at the Kroger on North Beach Street on Jan. 27. The cashier would only identify you as our "guardian angel." Please be assured that your generosity will be passed on to those more deserving than we are.-- John and Mary Beth Roman, Fort WorthCheers: To an employee and a customer at the Jett Car Wash on Interstate 20 and Little Road in Arlington. They went out of their way to help me fix my car door so it would close again. I was happy to get safely back on the road with my kids.-- Lisa Wynne, ArlingtonCheers: To Chad at Cotton Patch Restaurant in Lake Worth. There was an error on my bill. Chad took care of it in a highly professional manner. In the future, I will go out of my way to dine at this restaurant.-- Roy G. Barnes, Fort WorthCheers: To the man who rescued me on Jan. 28 at the railroad tracks on North Beach Street. The train ran so long my car battery died. When he discovered neither of us had a set of jumper cables, he left, bought a set and got my car started.-- Elaine Sparks, GranburyCheers: To Vicki Wilkin and the group of residents who gathered to apprehend a lost dog in front of the Albertsons on Alton Road on Monday around 9 p.m. Six to seven people worked together to help the dog and Ms. Lawson drove it to a vet. Good job everyone!-- Julia Wright, Fort WorthJeers: To a mom and pop bike shop in River Oaks. Although there was another customer ahead of us, after spending more than 10 minutes looking without receiving any acknowledgement, we left. Cheers for saving us some really big bucks by us getting just a bike at a big-box store.-- Hans Kevin Hansen,Fort WorthCheers: To the person who found the gift card we lost on Jan. 23 at Tom Thumb on Hall-Johnson Road. Thank you for turning it in. Your honesty is very much appreciated.-- Milton and Karen Godwin,EulessJeers: To those who feel compelled to sensationalize Beyoncé's lip-synced national anthem at the inaugural. It is, at best, a "who cares" item of little or no interest. Get a life.-- John S. Turner, Haltom CityCheers: To Marsha and Danny Ross, owners of the Keys Lounge, for making it a nonsmoking bar. Now we can enjoy some of the best live blues music, indie bands and tribute bands in the Metroplex at this unique and friendly bar in a smoke-free environment. Thanks for your responsible action!-- Sheri McCoy, HurstCheers: To all the optometrists, ophthalmologists, Alcon, Essilor and other sponsors and volunteers at Kids Vision Fest 2013. Sight is such a precious gift that so many take for granted. "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." -- Helen Keller.-- Scott Willingham, Fort Wor thCheers: To the family at the end of Magnolia Court in Bedford for displaying, for many years, thousands of colorful Christmas lights -- dancing to music over the radio -- all over their yard. Viewing your creation has become one of our favorite Christmas traditions. Thank you!-- Vince Basset, EulessCheers: To the staff at Rodeo Exchange for going "above and beyond" in providing excellent customer service. Not only are they friendly and accommodating, they provide patrons a happy, fun birthday celebration as well. Thank you, owner Mike Ware, manager Terry Pyron and waitress/bartender Monice "Mo" Finney.-- Maria Smith, Fort WorthCheers: To Allen Jones of Jones Electric Service for the excellent work he does. I have used him for several years and found him to be very dedicated, conscientious, and willing to go above and beyond to make things right for the customer.-- Laveta Curry, Fort Worth

Who's Online:
Poor Legolas, waking up to an empty bed with that letter. I am glad Rhav followed through with her decision; the first step is always the hardest. I sense a friendship will develop between her and Haldir. Can't wait!
Author's Response: You hit the nail on the head about first steps. It's usually the toughest thing to do. Rhav is tough and she knows what she has to do. One thing is for sure, nothing comes easy and we are in for one hell of a ride. Thank you for always being so prompt with your reviews. It's nice to have your support and you definitely have mine. ; - )
Such a tender love scene yet so hot. What I love about Rhav is that she doesn't let a man define who she is or let him distract her from leading her own life and fullfiling her own destiny. This was a great way to end this chapter and I thought the last paragraph showed her courage and strength.
Author's Response: Thanks so much Duchess. I'm glad you see Rhav like this. I want her to be strong and independent, which she hasn't had the chance to do yet. It's time for her to get up and get on. She needs to get back to her roots and remember who she is and what it is she always wanted to be. But like real life, everything comes with a price and she has no idea what's waiting for her out there. Buckle up and strap in. It's gonna get a little bumpy now.
I can't imagine how it feels to know the one you love may never return, and to feel both encouragement and anxiety at the same time is hard. Understandably they would want to spend their last night together in a memorable way.
As for Rhav, seeing Frodo step up boldly as Ring-bearer certainly made her encouraged to pursue her dreams. I hope she finds what she needs in the Golden Wood. Though now her future with Legolas is hazy at best.
Author's Response: It was a night well spent for both of them, but she will not let him woo her into returning to Mirkwood. For too long Rhav has done what's right by others. And I like to think that Frodo affected everyone that was at that counsel. It was just the thing she needed to give her that final push out the door. It's what's waiting for her that will be her biggest surprise and discovery about herself.
Again, this chapter displays your excellent pacing and ability to sum up events in a only a few words. I like how you call frodo an odd little fellow and I think it's interesting how the ring effects her. I can imagine she is envious that Legolas gets to go but she has to go back to Mirkwood, very frustrating i'm sure. Leggy is charming and probably very charismatic. Not knowing if or when he will ever come back is probably frightening for her too
Author's Response: Thanks again for your comments. Glad everything is still moving smoothly. I had to make the ring affect her. With her job title, she would have jumped right in there to try and figure things out. But it is Frodo who will affect her the most. And Legs, well, I for one would let him affect my anytime. hehe.
Great chapter. I just actually watched FotR and the Council scene reminded me that I didn't review, so here I am :)
Author's Response: Glad you're here and still enjoying it. You know, I haven't watched the movies in a long time. You mentioning it makes me want to go back and watch 'em again.
Another great chapter! It seems Rhavaniel has learned to pick her battles here.
Author's Response: Yes, I think you are right. She knows when to fight and when to keep her cool. And right now she is about to come to a crossroad. Thanks for reading.
Hey, I'm back! For a short time that is. Grand-babies to spoil and take care of. Christmas shopping and Christmas crafts to finish off. Ah yes, ain't it grand to be Grammy Ria. hehehe.
Boy, they both can be stubborn, I think.
She can marry him and pursue her career, and he could allow it. After all he makes friends with a dwarf, a few hobbits and more humans does he not.
They can figure it out! But stubbornness likes to put it's two cents in, and very strongly sometimes.
Yes, we can be talked into things sometimes. Look at me, at five times!lol! That's why i have so many grand babies. hahahaha. Winters can be so cold and ya got ta keep warm ya know. hehehe.
Merry early Christmas to you! Just in case i forget to tell you.
Author's Response: I just want to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read and review. Things are indeed becoming very hectic with the holidays fast approaching. And you sound positively ecstatic about your new grand-baby. Yes, Leggy is very good at making friends but they don't give him the kind of lovin' he needs, if you know what I mean. Anyways, Merry Christmas to you too if I don't hear from you before then.
Yep, them getting along was too good to last, but I don't think they'll be able to stay away from each other either. But who will give in first? Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Hey Mel. You know the routine, love 'em... hate 'em... great make-up *ahem*. Things are far from over though.
Good exchange of dialogue here at the end. It flowed very nicely and I could feel and see the tension between the two. Leaving Mirkwood seems like a bit of a twist! This story is a good example of how to write an OC that the reader cares about.
Author's Response: I'm glad you feel this way. Out of all the female oc's I have written, Rhav has touched me the most. When others might give in and do what's right for loved ones, she wants to do what is right for her. It might be selfish but she's just answering a call to her soul. Rhav knows she can't devote herself to others before fulfilling her own desires.
I look forward to the next update! I'm trying to figure out where you're going with this and I can't! Which is great!
Author's Response: I love it. This is just what I have tried to aim for. You couldn't have reviewed at a better time, when I was beginning to doubt myself. Thank you.
It was bound to happen. Her vivacity is too much for her father and Legolas to handle out of their love and concern. And now that she has been wounded, and could have died, or taken by the Orcs (a far worse fate than death) all the hidden agendas come out. It is too bad that marriage pushed that way seems to her father to be the solution, and out of love for her Legolas feels the same. I just hope Rhav finds what she needs.
Author's Response: She is strong and will pull through. It is like the straw that broke the camels back and she just needs a little push. As you said, her father and Legolas only do this because they love her so much. But she needs to find out what she's made of. I'm so glad you get this. No woman should be held back and she's gonna find her way.
I wasn't prepared for Gollum, how exciting! He definitely is one you pity at first glance without knowing his truly devious nature; I think of schizophrenics when I hear his name. And the fact that the Elves were kind to him is how he really escaped.
Glad that Rhav got her wish, though sadly with a rather disheartening price. At least Legolas was there. And Antien, I am in love with him. :)
Author's Response: I threw Gollum in for a time line and I needed to get Rhav out of the castle. Got your back Rhav. She's gonna fight if it's the last thing I do. Your support for Antien is wonderful. He was a character I just threw in at first and I didn't give him much thought. But he seems to be making a good impression and he's grown on me too. I actually rewrote this chapter. I was going to have him die in this scene, further pushing Rhav to lead a warrior life. It never did sit right with me and I decided to keep him. I might write him his own piece about how he meets Glandur. Don't know. We'll see. Thanks so much for supporting my story. We writers gotta stick together.
Somehow I don't think she's going to be able to settle into life as a princess, not with her nature and Legolas' need to keep her safe. Waiting to see how they clash next.
Author's Response: Poor thing, she would try if she could. But Rhav will always be wild. Some nasty clashing is in their future for sure.
This is the most touching, tender first time I can remember reading. Legolas is a perfect gentleman. No Elf maiden could want more from a lover. I doubt she would have had much pleasure had he lasted the firts time. The fact that he said anything, apologized for not satisfying her, showed a strenght of character rare in males. And your comment to Duchess about lust...Go ahead and try for the lust. We all know two individuals can love each other, be familiar with each other, and lust like mad. So go ahead and write that scene in which he kisses her, throughs her over a chair and F#!*'s her. It's real. And as far as I am concerned if the NC17 warning and a warning of erotica is posted readers need to expect adult language, like the word tit and the word i illude to above. The Elvish language Tolkien left us is a limited one, not complete by his own admission. I would think every culture has slang and "bad words". We do not write in Sindarin. We have to use the words we have. Would two very young lovers, say age 18 use the hard dirty words of our culture, or would they use words like coitus and ejaculate? I as a reader do not want to read that. I want them real. And in just a few days or weeks Rhav and Legolas, as healthy lusty young elves would be all over eachother and speaking the language of young love, and most definately lust, as they get to know each other.
Author's Response: Wow ladyjane. You are very convincing and I am going to try and write a lusty piece. It may not be part of this story for I already have a vision in my mind. But definitely a side piece. I agree with you, as long as all the warnings are there, it shouldn't be a problem. It's time to let the fanticies out. We all have them. We all know what we want to do to our favorite elves, men, hobbits (or dwarves for those of you that swing that way). Anyways, I glad their first time came across as it did for you. This is what I set out to accomplish. Now on with the show. Can't stay in satisfied bliss for ever.
This was a great chapter. Rhav's uncertainties are still there, even though she thoroughly enjoyed the experience. And Legolas' embarassment was adoring, as well as his concern for his lady. Thank you for your description of this Prince.
Author's Response: I just had to make him have this awkward moment. It is their first time and it is not perfect as some might make it out to be. Besides, think of all the practice they will need. *wink wink*
I love that you chose to use the word 'tits', especially from Leggy's POV. That's what males say. I like to be shocked and did not expect you to use that word. Some may not but I do. Also liked your description of his naked body and the way he moved. Frankly, I am a fan of men who...ah, can't last. It sort of shows their vulnerablity and lack of control in the the face of a woman they care about. Even though they love each other and have finally go it on, there is still continuing doubt and conflict. Some very good prose in this chapter too. Love scenes are extremely difficult to write despite what some people think, and a writers true skill is seen through them. It was hot and still sensuous.
Author's Response: I loved that I shocked you. In the past I have used much more mild descriptions but I would like to get a little more raw. It was a start, if only one word and... it felt good. As far as love scenes, I don't know how well I do with them but I love writing them. It is a natural and beautiful act and always between two people who love each other in my stories. But I would like to write something out of lust some time. Thanks again Duchess.
A very rewarding chapter. Rhav has finally let her wall come down a bit. Legolas and she are being themselves not evading each other and it is good to experience.
Happy Majority Rhav! You're legal now girl.
Author's Response: She cannot deny her feelings any longer. She may still have some reserves but Legolas will make her forget about that for a while. He could make me forget my name and I would not care. LOL
This may not be the most insightful review, but I just love the part about sticking each other with arrows. And the fact that you did not say shoot one another,give me a mental image of them fencing with arrows over something that has infuriated them both. Antien is such a character! I love the image i'm getting of him. Tell me if my perception is wronge, but he seems to take life with a grain of salt and has a wonderful sence of humor. He's strong and caring. A very ballanced zen kind of guy. He seems to sway in the wind rather than stand against it or be blown over by it. No wonder he is so adored by his mate.
Rhav is a blood thirsty one. She needs tha ballance that Legolas, and her friend Antien provide. She has adjusted well to her job. But is is obvious her heart lies in defending her royals and her people.
She has a heart but has a huge wall around it as if greatly wounded. There must be more, much more to her than meets the eye.
Author's Response: Glad you caught that arrow thing. If they were arguing, they would be in each other's faces, too close to shoot an arrow. And being they are an accurate shot, they would be quite deadly. I love your description of Antien. You are right on track about him and I am sorry I have not explained him more. If he were a tree, I'd imagine him like a palm tree. He is able to withstand any storm and come out looking like he wasn't even ruffled by it. He is a constant in Rhav's life, her jiminy cricket you might say. Maybe I will expand on him and Glandur in a seperate piece. They deserve a little spotlight time. As for Rhav, she has now tasted battle and smelled the blood of her enemy. It has awoken something inside of her that not even Legolas could have forseen. It will be the one thing that makes them different from each other. I just love your reviews. You always seem to inspire me in some way. Thank you for this.
Well, I think their passion for each other that results in fighting will mean a quite passionate encounter ahead of them in other ways!!
Author's Response: So far it has been the only way for them to release their tension. But that is all about to change.
Jeepers! Why did you have to leave it like that?!! You've done a terrific job building conflict both internal and external with both, but especially with Rhavaniel. At the begininng of the chapt. she still has some doubts about herself and thier relationship, and may be her place in the world, but it seems Leggy is sort of her rock. He sort of grounds her. I like heros that know they care for a girl and show it despite the heroines uncertainty. I thing women want to see that in a hero. Maybe Leggy knows what he wants cause he's older than she is... Very poetic way to confess his love. I do like how you've given her a job in the palace. she's not just sitting around doing needlepoint pining away for a man. Negotiator is an ingenious twist and ghastly uninteresting. totally not suited for her. It makes it seem more real too. That life there isn't all balls and fan fluttering and parties. I can't believe this story is 30,000 words long! Excellent work. Best chapter so far.
Author's Response: She may not know it or would try to deny it but Legolas really is her stability. They both know what they want but it comes easier to Legolas than her for the obvious reasons. I think all my female characters have held some kind of job. As you show in your own story, women did not just sit around and do nothing. I guess I picked negotiator because there would be those times that she was needed outside of Mirkwood. Plus she has a mouth which could come in useful, but you're right, she hates it. So glad you are still enjoying the story. Like yourself, I try to make it seem like real situations in a fantacy world. I always look forward to your reviews.

November 08, 2011, 5:10 PM — After several months of anticipation, Google finally announced Google+ Pages for local businesses, groups, sports, brands, organizations and more. Just a few weeks ago Google granted its Apps customers access to the social network, slowly growing its user base.
After yesterday's announcement, users flocked to create a Google+ Page for their business, but many were disappointed with what they saw. Google+ Pages bear a significant resemblance to personal Google+ pages--in fact, there are very few differences and few features that users expected to see.
Here's a rundown of what you and your business should know about Google+ Pages, and how to remedy problems you may have already encountered.
[10 Google+ Tips for Beginners]
1. Claim your organization's Google+ Page ASAP
When Google opened the flood gates to businesses and organizations yesterday, there was a rush to lay claim to brand names. One flaw in the sign-up page for Google+ Pages was the lack of verification required to set up an account.
When you start the process of creating a page for a product or brand, for example, you only need to enter what you want the page to be called, the website you want to associate with the page, the category and who will be able to see your page.
If your business is actively involved in social media or you think it may want a Google+ Page in the future, it's a good idea to claim your business's name to prevent squatters from holding on to it.
2. Log out of your personal Gmail account before creating a Google+ Page.
One mistake Google+ users made yesterday was following the link to create a Google+ Page for their business while still logged into a personal Google account. As a result, the brand pages were automatically linked to their personal Google+ account, which means they have to toggle between their own and the company's, depending on what they want to post.
For some people--like those who don't want the company account linked to their own--this is problematic. It appears the only way to fix it is to delete the account, then reregister it under a new Google account that you create specifically for the brand.
For others, though, this could be useful, especially if the person registering the company account is the one who will be posting to it.

EDO COLLEGEKnowledge & Wisdom
About Us
What became known as Edo College opened on the 10th of February 1937 as Benin Middle school with total enrolment of 76 students into classes 1 and 2 at Government (primary) school Benin City as temporary site.
The opening of the school was a dream come true and the credit goes to His Majesty Oba Eweka II, Oba of Benin (1914-1933) whose vision it was, to have a secondary school established in his domain. His zeal and doggedness paid off during the reign of his son, Oba Akenzua II, Oba of Benin (1933-1978).
In anticipation of the colonial government's approval, (it is no secret that the colonial Administration did not encourage western education in Benin, for reasons best known to them) construction began at the (then) permanent site in Iyaro in 1936. On the 5th of April 1937 the school moved into the permanent site with 18 boarders and 56 day students. The boarding house was named Eweka house, named after the Oba Ewaka II in appreciation of his role as one of the founding fathers of the college. At a very colorful ceremony held on the 7th of September 1937, the school was formally opened by His Honour, W.E. Hunt, Esq the Chief Commissioner of Southern provinces of Nigeria.
The school was founded and nourished on very solid academic and moral foundation, laid by the pioneer tutors under the headship of Mr. Benjamin David Coker, a Seirra Leonian as principal from 1937-1942. One of the pioneer tutors, Mr. P.N.C Molokwu, a strict disciplinarian, took over from Mr. Coker and was principal from 1942-1947.
There is no gainsaying the fact that the college has been blessed with good principals. From 1937 till date, the college has had 21 of them, some of them expatriates. The first of the expatriates was the famous Mr. V.B.N Powell. Though his tenure was very brief (1947-1948), he left behind very remarkable legacies. He also introduced the British system of education. The government formally took over the college in 1948. The current principal is Deacon Godwin I.O. Osawomwan, a strict disciplinarian and a seasoned administrator, who is working assiduously to reposition the school.
To all intents and purposes, Edo College is a success story and a dream fulfilled far beyond imagination of the founding fathers. This is because the school bore very good fruits from its inception. Among those admitted in 1937 were Hon. Justice Andrews Otutu Obaseki, a retired Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Chief All Ozigbo, Late Emmanuel Eribo, Nigeria's foremostindustrialist and late prof T. bello Osagie world renowned gyneacologist. The second set ĀĀadmitted in 1958 included His Majesty, Oba Orediawe, Oba of Benin.
According to the college Anthem , composed by an old Boy, Mr. Micheal Igbinosa (1945 set), the college hasĀ"brought forth offering of sterling stuff, instilled at last in them is the sense of service devotion to our God, the nation too has tested your greatness". These aptly describe the contribution of old students of Edo College in nation building and service to humanity. These old students, most of them are listed inĀ"who is who in the world".
There is also the young generation of old boys, some of whose names are "brand names" in their chosen careers and professions. The pack includes Engr. Amen Aghedo, Air Marshal Paul Dike, Chief of Staff, Nigerian Air Force, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Rev Chris Okotie and host of others.
In January 1975, the college moved into the present site, into a state of the art building erected. The structures which remain the envy of universities were allowed to rot away due to the neglect of successive state government administrations. The old boys agonized over this for several years, to the extent that they initiated a move to establish a "new" Edo College on a brand new site. It was at this point that Chief Lucky Nasakhare Igbinedion, an old boy and also the former governor of Edo state came to the rescue in the year 2004. He spearheaded a fund raising exercise towards the rehabilitation of the school, thereby restoring the college to its past glory! A model school.
The History of Edo College is indeed, "A success
The specific aims and objectives of the college have always been:
- To provide students of the college with the opportunity for Education of a high quality.
- To prepare them both for useful living within the society and of higher education
- To inculcate in them high moral and spiritual values in inter-personal and human relations.
- To promote and develop their emotional,
physical and psychological health.
- To inculcate national consciousness in them.
- To help them to utilize their leisure well through teaching of Nigerian culture, art and language as well as the world's cultural heritage.
Below is a full pictorial description (organogram) of the school's administrative structure.
Our Vision
To make Edo College an academic citadel par excellence, whose graduates are detribalized, who are spiritually, physically, intellectually and socially developed to face the challenges of the modern world.
Mission Statement
To create an academic environment that is challenging and rigorous. It is our hope to challenge our students to stretch themselves beyond the ordinary both in curricular and non-curricular activities. We will set goals that are both high and real. We shall strive to monitor progress in every facet of the students' programme to see that they are working to the best of their abilities.

Washington - A powerful yet delicate robotic hand has been developed that can pour juice into a plastic cup with ease and lift and place an egg gently.
Pouring a drink into a plastic cup can be a great challenge for a robot, as one hand has to hold the glass bottle firmly, while the other one must gently grasp the cup.
But researchers at Saarland University, together with associates in Bologna and Naples, have developed a robotic hand that can accomplish both tasks with ease and yet, including the actuators, is scarcely larger than a human arm.
This was made possible by a novel string actuator, making use of small electric motors to twist strings.
The robotic hand is thus powerful yet delicate and could one day be deployed as a helper around the house or in catastrophic scenarios.
"We wanted to impart our robotic hand with a broad spectrum of human traits. Its artificial muscles should be able to deliver enormous forces by simple and compact means", Chris May, scientist at Saarland University's Laboratory of Actuation Technology said.
It is an example of some of the new steps taken in robotic research within the scope of the European project DEXMART.
Over the past four years international scientists developed various concepts, especially focussed on increasing the versatility with which two-arm robots can be implemented.
The European Union sponsored the research consortium to the sum of 6.3 million Euros.
"When robots help around the house or should save people from a burning building, they need to have hands which can grasp with strength but at the same time gently," Hartmut Janocha,
Professor of Process Automation at Saarland University said.
The challenge lies in trying to make the necessary technology fit within the robotic arm such that it does not differ significantly from a human arm in terms of size and form.
"We came up with a simple, yet extremely effective idea: using strings that are twisted by small, high-speed motors, we are able to exert high tensile forces within a compact space,"
mechatronic researcher May said.
The sensorised and controlled robotic hand is able to touch diverse objects, to grasp and lift them and place them gently in a new position.
Chris May demonstrated this in Karlsruhe, Germany - where the hand was presented during a meeting at the Forschungszentrum Informatik - with a delicate Easter egg and a heavy glass

The Great Spring Sickness
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
The Great Spring Sickness was a plague epidemic that followed the Great Spring of 209AC, killing tens of thousands in the Seven Kingdoms.
The Sickness
The plague killed tens of thousands in the Seven Kingdoms[1] with the major cities affected the most; it was bad in Lannisport, worse in Oldtown, but worst of all in King's Landing, where four in ten succumbed to it.[2] A strong man could wake up healthy in the morning and die by the evening, so swiftly did the plague strike.[3]
Dorne and the Vale of Arryn did not suffer from the Great Spring Sickness, as they closed off their access roads and their ports to all travellers.[4][2] Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, were in Dorne for the duration of the plague so were unaffected by it.
The plague did not care for status and killed people high-born or low, including King Daeron the Good,[5][1][2][6] his last Hand of the King[2] and his two most immediate heirs, Princes Valarr[7][2] and Matarys,[1][2][6] as well as the High Septon,[2] a third of the Most Devout,[2] and nearly all of the silent sisters in King's Landing.[2]
Lord Brynden Rivers, the Hand of the King to Daeron's successor Aerys I Targaryen, ordered the many bodies be brought to the Dragonpit and burned by the pyromancers. The light of their wildfire pyres could be seen as a dark green glow throughout the city during the night.[2][4] Others known to have died of the Sickness were the last husband of Lady Rohanne Webber,[1] Lord Damon Lannister[6] and the heir and eldest son of Lord Bracken.[2]

Occasionally referred to as the old Italian method, since it's been rumored that early Ferrari race cars were built this way, stump forming holds a great deal of possibilities with very little expense. To begin, find a solid stump from a hardwood tree that doesn't hold a lot of sap and dig a hole in it. There's no strict guideline on how large or deep the hole needs to be, and in truth it doesn't really need to be symmetrical, either. Whereas sandbags work more slowly and subtly, stumps can create a lot of shape quickly.

Mortgage applicants will be better off if they take the time out to thoroughly research what are option it best for them, it has been suggested.This could help house-hunters to look beyond headline rates advertised by lenders and actually see the bigger picture involving all the transactions charges and hidden costs, according to Darren Cook, head of press and PR at Moneyfacts.co.uk.He said: "Calculate exactly how much it is going to cost with fees as well as rate over the term of the mortgage to see which is the better deal."Do the sums to make sure that you are getting the best deal on the rates side as well as the fees side."Recently, a piece of research carried out by moneysupermarket.com found that when borrowing £150,000 at a fixed rate for two years, people could save up to as much as £3,000 if they looked beyond the rate and took into account all the charges involved.

6 keys to a great early retirement
Regardless of your retirement age, you can start collecting Social Security at age 62, although you get docked five-ninths of 1% for every month you are younger than your full retirement age. That means you'd get 25% less per month retiring at 62 than you would at 66.
(That's assuming you were born in 1954 or earlier, making your full retirement age 66. Full retirement age goes up from there; those born in 1960 or later don't reach the required age until 67. That cuts into monthly benefits even more; you'll find the math on the Social Security website.)
While inflation has been held in check recently, over the long haul you're safe in figuring on 3% a year, which means the $50,000 you think you have to live on will be worth only $48,500 next year, $36,871 in 10 years and $27,189 in 20.
There's a big difference between living on $50,000 and on $27,189, and it's unlikely that your expenses will be cut in half in that time.
Lose the mortgage?
So should you pay off the mortgage, or keep making the payments? Like everything else, it depends. After all, the interest you pay on your mortgage is tax-deductible at your regular income-tax bracket, so it's probably the best debt you can have. Go by the old tried-and-true: Pay off more expensive debt first, like credit cards or auto loans.
If you still have enough to pay off your mortgage, it's time to compare the after-tax cost of the debt with how much you're making on your investments. If your portfolio is averaging 11%, as the stock market had been before the recent downturn, and your mortgage is at 8% before your tax deduction, then leave the money in the market and keep paying the mortgage.
Remember, though, that if you're 25 years into a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, you're paying almost nothing in deductible interest. By now, almost your entire payment is going to principal, which is not tax deductible. "Essentially, you're paying so little in mortgage interest, there's no reason to prepay it," Doyle says.
Some people, though, are just more comfortable knowing they own their home free and clear. If that's you and you choose to pay it off, it might be comforting to know that you can get money back out of your house by using a reverse mortgage, in which a lender pays you for a portion of the ownership of your home, or through a home equity line of credit. You also could sell it, of course. But as Doyle says, if you're counting on income from your house when contemplating early retirement, you probably ought to keep working for a while.
"When you retire, your house is your home," he says "Don't look at it as an investment. You can convert it if you need to, but if you're retiring because of the equity in your house, you better get back to work."
The little things
There are plenty of little things to consider when you're thinking about early retirement. Greens fees, for example, and gas for the RV.
Bonnie Arnold of Columbia, Mo., a former retirement consultant at the University of Missouri staff benefits office, says you also should analyze the condition of your home and cars. If your roof is about to cave in or your car is on the blink, figure out if you can afford repairs and replacements. It's much easier to deal with such things while you're still bringing in a paycheck.
Consider, too, your family's financial health. "You always need to make sure that not only can you meet your normal month-to-month expenses, but emergencies, too, because they don't stop happening just because you retire."
Granted, some of your living costs will go down, as you quit buying work clothes, fueling up with that double espresso on the way to the office and paying $8 for a turkey sandwich for lunch. Your at-home food costs can go down, too, because you'll have more time to cook and less need to rip open a package of (expensive) ready-to-eat at the end of your commute. But travel costs may go up, simply because you have more time to go places.
Then there's the question of where to live. If you have more than one home, you need to establish permanent residency somewhere for both tax and estate planning, says Reginald Tilley, a certified financial planner in Bellevue, Wash. Some states have no property taxes, some have no sales taxes and some have high taxes of every kind. North Carolina and Florida even have an intangibles tax, which hits the value of investments.
What to do, what to do
So now that you're free, what are you going to do with your time? Some people go back to their old jobs part-time to maintain friendships and collect a little spending money. Some head off in a whole new direction. If you're the type of person who has worked hard enough and saved enough to retire early, there's a good chance you haven't spent a lot of time on nonwork activities, Tilley says. "If they've been so wrapped up in work to get to this point, there's a whole set of questions they're going to have to deal with," he says. "Some of these types of people have trouble going on vacation without champing at the bit."
Tilley recommends getting a psychological evaluation that tells you more about your personality and about what kinds of challenges will give you a sense of personal worth and fulfillment, even if you're not earning a paycheck from it.
For some, it's volunteering as a mentor, for others it's playing sports or working at the local hardware store for minimum wage. Quitting cold turkey is tough, he says, so it's important to segue into other activity.
Part-time work is more of an option now that you can earn Social Security while drawing a paycheck. But there are others who have no intention of working.
"The biggest challenge for some of these people is going to be how to spend that time," says Tilley, "because if you get six months into this thing and you find that you're bored, you have no sense of purpose, there's a big void in your life, you're probably at more risk from an emotional point of view than you'll ever be from a financial point of view."
This piece started with something few will have - a pension choice (much less one including health). Why not start with a plan for withdrawals from a pre-taxed source that was separately saved in conjunction with retirement contributions? If you are retiring early, some sort of 'bridge' has to be in place to get you from the starting point to 65 or 67. A bridge that is not part-time work (work does not necessarily sound like retirement if it is needed to survive). That bridge also needs to be enough to cover health insurance. I have one of these, it isn't so substantial right now, but in a couple of years when the house is paid for, a greater amount will go in - about 8 to 10 additional years worth of full mortgage payments put away as the 'bridge'.
The remainder of the piece, can't argue too much, although it irks me to read of reverse mortgages - which should be reserved for only the most dire of circumstances. At least there wasn't mention of an inheritance.
