Study Abroad
Program History
Green River College is part of a consortium of Washington State community colleges (WCCCSA) formed more than 25 years ago to jointly send groups of students to study abroad. The groups are accompanied and typically taught by tenured faculty from participating institutions. The consortium has a long, successful history of the London Quarter and then over time other programs were added such as Costa Rica, Italy, Spain, and most recently Germany.
Independent of WCCCSA, Green River developed a Study Abroad program in Australia/New Zealand in the year 2000, now in its 16th year of successful operation. Students spend five weeks in Melbourne, Australia and then five weeks in Auckland, New Zealand. Australian partners are Newman College/University of Melbourne and UNITEC in Auckland. While technically not part of the WCCCSA consortium, other colleges in the State participate by enrolling their students in this program. The faculty leader is Dr. Bruce Haulman, a recently retired Green River Social Science Division faculty member.
Green River also developed a Study Abroad program in Japan. The program was developed in partnership with Kanagawa University in Atsugi, Japan, but later moved to the Tokyo area. Students spend 10 weeks in Hachioji, just minutes from downtown Tokyo. They attend classes at Kogakuin University and live in nearby shared apartments. Led by faculty member Patrick Navin of the Fine Arts Division, the program enjoyed its first successful pilot in 2009. The program has been offered each fall quarter and continues to be very popular with students.
The most recent additions to Green River's study abroad programs are short-term summer programs in the Netherlands and Spain. The Netherlands program is held at the University College Roosevelt in Middleburg. This program began in summer of 2015 and will be offered again during summer of 2016. The Spain summer program will be held at the University of Oviedo. Summer of 2016 will be its pilot program.
Benefits for Students
A study abroad experience for students is highly desirable as part of their development and education. Students develop a broader perspective, learn to appreciate cultural diversity, and are enriched by this opportunity to live and study in another country. Typically students return with increased confidence and maturity and full of exuberance and excitement about their studies and experiences abroad.
Benefits for Faculty
Teaching abroad is a vastly positive professional development opportunity for faculty, who return from the experience more energized, and also more knowledgeable. Developing increased cultural sensitivity is also helpful in working with the international student population at Green River. Over the years, many Green River faculty have had the opportunity to teach in WCCCSA and other Study Abroad programs.

I am grateful to Bernard Theobald, who writes to draw attention to a sentence from our Wednesday coverage of the storm over southern England: "A combination of 'the best forecasters in the world' and technological advancements including a £30m supercomputer allowed the Met Office to accurately predict the St Jude's storm four days before it formed."
"Advancements" should be "advances". Both words come from the same French origin and both date back to the Middle Ages. Both indicate forward movement, but "advance" has a much wider application. Anything from an army to a technology may advance, but "advancement" applies only to a person's career; it means promotion or preferment.
Incidentally, and on a positive note, that sentence also illustrates what a foolish piece of pedantry it is to place an absolute ban on split infinitives. Why is "to accurately predict" seen by some as an outrage, when nobody turns a hair at, say, "will accurately predict"? And in this instance, to place "accurately" anywhere else is visibly to strain for correctitude.
Fowler's Modern English Usage has an enlightening passage on split infinitives.
No joke: "He has borne exhaustive comparisons to Jon Stewart, the American satirist whose nightly show regularly pokes fun at the great and the good in Washington. But for Bassem Youssef, the Egyptian comedian who became a TV sensation following the fall of Hosni Mubarak, satire is a joke where the punchline can mean jail."
That is the opening paragraph of a news story published on Wednesday, and it is desperate stuff. The story is about Bassem Youssef, an Egyptian TV satirist, and it is a good read. Why spoil it with a reference to somebody called Jon Stewart?
The illustration is unnecessary; we all know what a TV satirist does, in Egypt or anywhere else. We don't need to be told that a TV satirist in Egypt is similar to a TV satirist in the US. And who is Jon Stewart?
I'm clearly not the only one who doesn't know, since the writer felt obliged to tell us. If an illustration needs to be explained, it is not doing its job.
Real problem: "Real" is a slippery word. Last Saturday's magazine carried a book extract about Gandhi's friendship with an English couple during his early years in South Africa. This was puffed on the front page of the main newspaper with the words "The real Gandhi, by Ramachandra Guha".
Behind this use of the word "real" there seem to lie at least two unexamined assumptions: that there is a contradiction between being an Indian nationalist and having English friends; and that those two aspects of Gandhi cannot both be equally "real" – one (the one that everybody knows about) must be a mere façade, while the other (the one we are now going to tell you about) reveals the true inner being of the man.
This kind of sub-Freudian tosh often lies behind the word "real". Always distrust it. "Real" is usually false.Reuse content

Chrome OS to Print Through Cloud
Drivers, be gone.
Google wants to use cloud computing to make the Chrome OS independent of local printers.
In the official Chromium blog, Google is of the mind that local printer connections and installing individual printer drivers are no longer feasible for the mobile user community. For the exclusively Web apps in what the search engine maker calls their "Web-connected platform," Google has come up with a new design that makes printing from anywhere to any printer possible.
The Google Cloud Print concept is based on all devices and platforms being connected to the Web, although Google calls it the "cloud" instead. Every app should be able to send data to any printer, no matter if it's a Web, mobile or desktop app. The concept doesn't depend on drivers, but on a not so clearly defined cloud service to which users submit print jobs. The service should take care of sending the print job with its selected parameters to the respective printer.
The Google blog attests that Google Cloud Print is still under development. However, code for a first cut of a Cloud Print Proxy implementation is already available, along with documentation. APIs are to come next. The declared goal is to get the community involved as soon as possible. One open debate is what open standards to use for true Google Cloud Print consistent functioning.

Whether you're young or young at heart, if you like to take it easy and unwind or want a holiday packed with adventure, Jervis Bay has something for everyone and The Mirage Beach House is place for you.
The Mirage is situated between Huskisson and Vincentia just across the road from Collingwood Beach. You will be on Elizabeth Drive with easy access to all the beaches surrounded by nature reserves and national parks, within the Jervis Bay Marine Park and directly ahead of the walkway/bicycle path from Huskisson to Vincentia and down to Hyams Beach if you dare.
Jervis Bay has the clearest waters and whitest sand in Australia and possibly the World. It is one of the most eastern points on our coastline, it provides a unique opportunity to witness Humpback Whales migrating along the coast. It is also home to a large number of seals, penguins, dolphins and if it isn't enough for you to sit on the shore to view these magnificent creatures then whale and dolphin cruises are run each day from Husky Wharf.
The area is becoming renowned for Kite Surfing however all water activities including surfing, diving, snorkelling, fishing, canoeing or sea kayaking are at your fingertips. If a leisurely sightseeing cruise is more your speed, there are cruises departing daily from Huskisson wharf where you can experience some of the most beautiful coastline in the country. If land activities are more to your liking then, you could explore the lighthouse at Point Perpendicular, go bush walking, horse riding, take a bus tour, a moped ride, a game of golf or just stroll around the specialty shops in Vincentia or Huskisson. Maybe the variety of 'markets' would be more to your liking?
Are you after some well earned R and R? Outdoors there are lovely picnic and BBQ areas, playgrounds and the Leisure Centre for the kids or at the Vincentia shops there are great takeaway food stores and cafes. Perhaps take in a movie at the picture theatre in Huskisson or a pie from the famous 'Husky Bakery'.
Give Jervis Bay a try, like everyone who visits, you'll want to stay

Did it work Steve?
Brilliant, thanks both for the info, will give it a go if the sown ones don't come through.
Not long ago found a wheel barrow under a patch of brambles in the alley outside the garden. Perfectly useable and the tyres weren't flat! Been waiting for years to get a free wheel barrow. Not from the garden but very pleased with it
Lovely pictures everyone, really enjoyed looking at them, thanks for posting. It's a great time of year. Mrs Garden, love the loggy area, very sweet
Didn't know that you can germinate sweetcorn on damp kitchen roll Zoomer, do you find this is quicker than doing it in seed trays? Just sown some this way and they are in the plastic greenhouse
If you manage to grow one of these you will never be with out it, there are loads of viable seeds per plant. I found an old brown envelope with collected seeds in the bottom of some pots a few weeks ago. Loads had germinated without soil!
I've potted them up into medium sized pots and they will be planted out when big enough for flowers next year. I think they have quite large tap roots so I won't leave them to long in the pots. I've seen the purple ones in hedgerows, you can get them in white as well
Cool will give it a go, love making new plants
I've got 2 large clumps in pots both in leaf now, one is slightly ahead of the another. This is my first year in this garden so am trying to propagate as many plants as I can.
Didn't know that you can split them now, thanks guys
I found it really easy to grow CharlieBot, I just sowed the seeds and left it uncovered in my coldframes. Plenty have germinated in about 2 weeks.
I grew some a few years ago and they did well in a sunny spot, tough plants don't think the slugs or snails touched them. Be good to know how the chilling works, Larkspur are lovely plants

At least at Wessex Water, the last of the companies to report, a pat on the back may be justified. But Severn Trent, Thames, and the 900 workers facing redundancy at Anglian, are learning the hard way about the need for performance.
The wasted investment on disastrous diversifications at home and overseas has been all too evident in the latest batch of figures.
Water companies deserve no praise for trimming back their costs now.
They have had a pretty generous ride from the regulator, a point that won't be lost on Ofwat's Ian Byatt when he announces the new 'K' factors.
Shareholders have had a good deal out of their investment in water companies, so perhaps it is time for Mr Byatt to redress the balance by keeping price rises and costs down.

This review is from: SAMSUNG XP941 MZHPU256HCGL-00000 M.2 256GB PCI-Express 2.0 x4 MLC Enterprise Solid State Drive
Pros: FAST!! really fast, works with X99 chipset. Interesting price level. Did I mention it is FAST! Works well when the OS is booted
For price-level/performance check out harddrivebenchmark.net
Cons: NO standard BIOS support - This is a showstopper for me, thus only one rotten egg. You can't boot to this drive unless your Motherboard support UEFI bios.
Works with X99 chipset only - for now...
M.2 Interface, you may need the 4 lane PCIe adapter for desktops.
Other Thoughts: Note that you will exhaust 2 lanes on PCIe 2.0 at full speed (1GB/s).
For BIOS machines running linux I suppose you could boot to /boot on some drive or usb stick and then continue loading the system from there
This review is from: Motorola DEFY Black 3G Unlocked Water-Resistant GSM Android Smart Phone w/ Android 2.1 / 5.0 MP Camera (MB525)
Pros: Easy to use, good battery with WiFi, Bluetooth running. Built in FM radio receiver so you can listen to "Pravda" on the go (at least in California).
Dropped it a couple of times, robust Gorilla glass. Impressive display clarity.
Great phone for the price. Exceptional Audio quality, even on AT&T Half-Rate GSM network
Cons: Sluggish handling big files, 800MHz OMAP processor
Other Thoughts: Was hoping for Mini-USB charger, but I guess MOT also switched to cr@ppy micro USB connector for charging (as everyone else).READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Nippon Labs 16 ft. Active extension USB cable Model USB2-EXT
Pros: None
Cons: bought 3 cables, only one was working due to bad cable-wires. When you take the cover of the housing you'll see that the cables are corroded. This was the situation with all cables. I design USB 2/3 equipment and there is no-way these extension cables will provide a stable connection, and it's very unlikely that you will get them working with USB2 speeds at all.
Other Thoughts: I was able to re-use the PCB's, replacing the cable-wire with Shielded CAT6 ethernet cableREAD FULL REVIEW

FEE-HELP is an Australian Government loan scheme that assists eligible higher education students, enrolled in fee paying places, to pay their tuition fees. Fee paying places are not subsidised by the Government.
If you are an eligible student and apply for FEE-HELP, the Government will lend to you the amount of the tuition fees for your subjects.
FEE-HELP loans are not paid directly to you; the Government pays the tuition fees directly to your higher education provider on your behalf.
FEE-HELP cannot be used for additional study costs such as accommodation or text books.
You are eligible for FEE-HELP assistance for a unit of study if you:
- an Australian citizen who will be resident in Australia for the duration of at least one subject that contributes to your course; or
- the holder of a permanent humanitarian visa who will be resident in Australia for the duration of the subjects.
There is a loan fee of 25% applied to FEE-HELP loans used to pay for undergraduate courses of study. The loan fee does not count towards the FEE-HELP limit.
For further information please refer to the Student Centre website.
Applications for FEE-HELP are submitted online in Sydney Student. Summer/Winter School FEE-HELP applications are accessible only once you have been enrolled in a Summer or Winter School unit.
Login into your Sydney Student portal. Please Click on My Finances > Your Finances> Government Forms> Summer/Winter School FEE-HELP.
FEE-HELP must be lodged within 4 calendar days of enrolment.
Please Note: You must also change your payment liability type to FEE-HELP.
Once you have submitted FEE-HELP online you must then change your payment option to FEE-HELP.
Login into Sydney Student, click on My Finances > Your Finances> Government Forms > Summer/Winter School > CHANGE, and follow the prompts to nominate FEE-HELP as your deferred payment option. Once completed Payment will be deferred to FEE-HELP.
Please Note: If this step is not completed you have not deferred payment to FEE-HELP and are liable for upfront payment of fees, within the payment deadline.
Cross-Instutional Students
If you are an Australian citizen studying at another university external to the University of Sydney, then you may apply for FEE-HELP providing you upload written evidence that your home University will credit Sydney Summer School study to your degree elsewhere. You can do this as part of the enrolment process as a commencing student in Sydney Student.
Please note: It is the your responsibility to seek confirmation from your home university that their Sydney Summer School unit(s) will be credited to your degree and foe the amount of academic credit.
Fee-HELP census dates
FEE-HELP students must withdraw from a unit of study in Summer School before the relevant census date to avoid incurring a FEE-HELP debt.

Check and adjust your mirrors and find your blind spots, the area on each side of your vehicle where you cannot see. You may not see people or cyclists when they are in these spots. On some vehicles the blind spot is so large that a vehicle could be there and you would not see it.
Adjust your mirrors so that there are as few blind spots as possible. Blind spots in most vehicles are to the back left and back right of the vehicle. To reduce the blind spots even more, position the interior mirror so that the centre of the mirror shows the centre of the rear window. You should be able to see directly behind the car when the interior mirror is properly adjusted. Position the left outside mirror by leaning towards the window and moving the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your car. Position the right outside mirror by leaning to the centre of the vehicle and moving the mirror so that you can again just see the rear of your car. Avoid overlap in what you can see in your mirrors. Because your side mirrors show only narrow angles of view, turning your head to do shoulder checks is the only way to make sure there is nothing in your blind spots.
You should know the blind spots on your own vehicle. You can learn where and how large they are by having someone walk around your car and watching the person in the mirrors.

Good piece
I received mine a little more than an hour ago and have not done extensive tests yet because I am waiting for the battery to charge. I already own a K5 and a KX and I have previously owned the K100 and K20 models. The K5 was the first model that I felt truly competed with the Nikon and Canon crowd. It handles noise extremely well and most reliably up to 1600 ISO and its DXO rating is tops in its class. I us it for wedding photography and it is capable for well-lit interiors but I have seen results from recent Canon and nikon models that have been making me drool over the low-light results. It is only for that reason - low-light shooting - that I took a flier on the K30. I am blown away by the results. The low-light capability is incredible and I am very, very pleased. I shot 4 test shots starting at ISO 12,800 and going down to ISO 1600, room light only, tungsten white balance, hand-held, JPEG only (medium resolution, which was the default setting). Not only was I blown away by the noise handling, but also by the image stabiliazation. I have found my new work horse for indoor low-light photography!

Lovely little house, really sunny with lovely garden. Easy walk to the main street where all the restaurants and cafes are. Bathroom a little pokey but the house has a bit of character, and it's all part of it. Could easily live there!

Brilliant! Very supportive and extremely comfortable. So good I have brought in blue too!!!!Goes Well With:The matching shorts and yoga leggings!
good quality material, washes and drys well, nice design, can't complain!
Bought this for the gf, fits really well and supports where it needs to according to her!
I used the old pattern of this bra to train in and am so happy there are five more colours to choose from. Rare you find a sports bra you love that is available in such variety. Support is good because the straps are adjustable, you can tailor the support for your activity. Fabric also great, sweat wicking and robust if anything like the other bra. Stitching also holds well. Also love the matching shorts, leggings and tank top. Great collection!Goes Well With:All the other matching parts of the collection!

I have tryed the intructions from this link Flashing LG signed Firmware
with little success. i also had to retrieve the firmware from else where because I couldnt get the link to work.
I would follow the instructions and I would get an error that said the "lgmobileax\image\header_bg.gif" is not found

LeBron James is "Crazy in Love" with longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson … so they got married, and had Beyonce and Jay Z sing at the wedding, of course.
The basketball star tied the knot with Brinson on Saturday (Sept. 14), Us Weekly reports. The ceremony at the Grand Del Mar hotel in San Diego, Calif., had many A-list guest including fellow NBA star Dwyane Wade, his girlfriend actress Gabrielle Union, and singer Neyo.
And as for the entertainment, there is nothing better than having a performance of "Crazy in Love" by the original singers of the tune, Beyonce and Jay Z. In a huge surprise for guests, Beyonce flew in for just one night, having just performed at a concert in Brazil on Friday (Sept. 13). She will be flying back out for another show on Sunday (Sept. 15) — that's dedication.
The Miami Heat player and Brinson are high school sweethearts and have been together since they were 16. They got engaged in January of 2012 and are parents to two children, LeBron James, Jr., 8, and Bryce Maximus, 6.

Protein aggregation occurs in association with a variety of liver diseases and is typically cytoplasmic. A common form of protein aggregates are Mallory-Denk bodies (MDBs) that are found in association with steatohepatitis, viral hepatitis and other forms of liver disease. Recent findings indicate that the presence of MDBs provides an independent poor clinical and histological outcome in patients with hepatitis C. The propensity to form MDBs is linked to the genetic background as supported by higher predisposition to their formation in specific mouse (C57BL >C3H strain) and human (Hispanic >White) genotypes. Among the molecular alterations that positively associate with experimental MDB formation are hypersumoylation and hypoacetylation of keratins (the major protein constituents of MDBs). Also, the overall liver sumoylation is impaired in the C57BL MDB-susceptible strain. Another potential genetic modifier we identified is the ecto-5'- nucleotidase, CD73, whereby a novel and hitherto unknown spliced variant is modulated differently in the MDB formation-prone versus formation-resistant strains. Aside from the cytoplasmic MDBs, a novel type of nuclear protein aggregation that we recently observed in cell culture, in mouse liver injury models undergoing oxidative stress, and in some human chronic liver disease explants involves the nuclear lamins. Formation of lamin- containing aggregates is rapid and is noted within days of exposure to the insult;and is observed prior to MDB formation, which requires weeks. Lamin aggregation could interfere with one or more nuclear functions, and its rapid onset may serve as an early marker of specific types of oxidative injury. Our hypothesis is that genetic variations unmask differences in hepatocyte responses to oxidative injury which manifest as nuclear and cytoplasmic protein aggregation. This hypothesis will be tested using 3 specific aims: (i) Characterize the role of CD73 in strain-selective MDB formation and liver injury;(ii) Characterize keratin acetylation and its relationship to keratin sumoylation and aggregation during oxidative stress;and (iii) Define the biochemical and functional alterations that associate with nuclear lamin disorganization in response to liver injury. Completion of our aims should provide fundamental knowledge regarding genetic modifiers and posttranslational regulation involved in MDB formation. In addition, the exciting finding of a novel CD73 isoform and its genetic background-related differences in response to liver injury may unfold a new paradigm for the role of CD73 in liver and other cell responses to injury. Furthermore, the newly appreciated aggregation of nuclear lamins in response to liver injury provides a potential novel mechanism for direct nuclear involvement that may protect from or promote liver injury, with consequent possible therapeutic, prognostic and diagnostic targets and approaches.
The overarching goal of this proposal is to identify genetic influences on the predisposition to protein aggregation in response to oxidative liver injury. Understanding the role of genetic factors is highly beneficial and relevant since it provides potential diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic targets in human liver disease, in addition to providing possible molecular explanations to the observed differences in susceptibility to a range of liver diseases in humans.

Love or Money: The Effect of CEO Divorce on Firm Risk and Compensation
Jordan Neyland
The University of Melbourne; Financial Research Network (FIRN)
February 2, 2016
I find lower firm risk in the year of a CEO divorce. This lower volatility is consistent with a reduction in risk incentives, as CEOs pay large divorce settlements and are less able to diversify firm-specific risk from their portfolios. Divorce has a larger impact on firms with cash-poor CEOs who lack diversification. The sensitivity of compensation to both price and volatility is significantly higher after divorce, suggesting compensation incentives adjust to portfolio incentives; increasing total compensation by over $2 million on average. I find no evidence the results relate to increased distraction or alternative explanations.

Paying It Forward
Auto dealers are well known for their huge support to local communities. Especially around the holiday season when they do many good deeds including toy drives, donations to food banks and a variety of other activities that have special meaning to those particular dealers. It's noble not to "brag" about the great things we do as businesses. In fact, many repeat good-deed offenders prefer to stay anonymous. And that's OK.
Sometimes, however, the smallest of deeds are the ones that touch the most lives.
Take for example, the story of a boy that has been going viral this holiday season. There's nothing spectacular about him that has been reported. He doesn't have a life-threatening illness that we know of. He's simply a boy being a boy… who happened to like playing video games. He liked playing them so much that he visited his local Best Buy every day to play his favorite video game in one of their demonstration kiosks.
If you worked at the Best Buy, it would be hard not to notice the same boy visiting every day, playing video games at your store's demo kiosk for the Nintendo Wii U system. But, in most cases, that would be the end of the story.
Well, this holiday season, the employees decided to act. These are just normal people working at a retail store. This wasn't a corporate level marketing play. This was simply a group of employees, at a local Best Buy, who decided that this boy deserved their attention.
What they did was special. In fact, it was so special that the video (one version of it) has been viewed over 7.5 million times on Facebook and over 2 million times on YouTube (again, only one posting of the video). What did those employees do? They all pitched in and bought the boy a Wii U console and a copy of the game he came in to play every day (Super Smash Bros.) as a surprise Christmas gift.
Nobody has mastered the recipe for a "viral video" as of yet… and chances are nobody ever will. This was an act of goodwill by employees at a local business in order to make a boy's holiday that much better. It turns out that the boy really wanted this game but his family could not afford it. I bet this boy remembers this act of kindness for his lifetime, becomes a loyal customer and passes that along to any children he may have, simply because these employees cared and gave him a luxury that he couldn't afford.
You don't have to be a mega-corporation. You don't have to have a huge in-house marketing department devising acts of goodwill. I'm sure you see this frequently this time of year: That flat tire that can't be repaired but the owner can't afford to replace or any numerous acts of kindness that dealerships make.
This act of kindness cost Best Buy nothing, and cost the employees around $400. Eight million views later (and counting), that $400 act of goodwill has paid off for this individual store and for the brand.
It's not how much you do, but whether you do it at all that counts. Happy Holidays!
Food is the Way to a Man's Heart… But Not That Kind of Food
This common saying is certainly one that everyone knows. And, whether it's true or not, has endured time. Why? Because someone cooking for you is an intimate act that is satisfying and elicits fond memories. In essence, this act accomplished on a regular basis is supposed to be the recipe (pun intended) to win the love of a man, or woman. The gender of a person has little to do with what it takes to win their hearts.
That being said, this simple saying can easily be transferred from the realm of interpersonal relationships to the world of business. How? Every time a customer visits or interacts with your dealership, you are essentially feeding them.
Customers have appetites for quality products and excellent service. Just look at the hoards that stand in line for hours (or sometimes days) for every new Apple product. With each commercial, tease, leak or ad, Apple caters to that appetite. But why do consumers do this? Well, Apple has created a brand trusted by the masses. Consumers believe the product(s) Apple develop will be of exceptional quality and that they will receive an excellent customer experience while using them. The food in this equation is multi-dimensional.
Let me explain:
Apple is, by nature, a very secretive company when it comes to product releases. However, there are usually numerous "leaks" for any product offering, which culminate with a very short period of time between the customer entering the restaurant (the official announcement) and the main course (product release). These leaks serve as teases to their customers and whet their appetites for the product or service. Without these, customers would be left in mystery, with little information to help in the buying decision, and a rather short period to decide whether they want to plop down the typically premium price, or perhaps wait.
Once the main course is served, all preconceived notions, hopes, wishes, dreams and speculation end and reality sets in. Either the product or service lives up to the expectations of the customer – or they do not.
Customers are constantly fed either the appetizers (your marketing) or main courses (the actual customer experience). How they perceive or experience both can weaken, or strengthen their loyalty. If the experience is everything that it was hyped up to be, and the product fulfilled their expectations, they will probably get in line a little earlier the next time and be less skeptical or trigger-shy.
All dealerships advertise. The messages that you put out there whether it is about price, experience, or other unique selling propositions, whet the consumer's appetite and get them to visit your dealership. Once there, their actual experience can either reinforce your marketing messages or convince the customer that you made false promises and are insincere.
Make sure that the food you are feeding customers – whether it's the appetizer of the main course – fulfills all of your customer's expectations and you'll find that with each visit, they love your restaurant that much more.
And when the food is great, people tell their friends. Which is exactly what you want.
Is The Way to Loyalty Through Your Customer's Stomach?
Companies increasingly invent new and creative ways to earn loyalty from their customers. Every year we hear of companies pulling off interesting and creative ways to gain exposure and foster loyalty through acts of kindness, goodwill or just being fun. For the fourth consecutive year, Uber became the ice cream man. It seems that every year for the past four years, Uber holds what it calls an "ice cream social." On this day, the Uber app opens up a new feature – rather than simply being able to choose which type of Uber you want, on that day you can order up some ice cream. For $25, Uber will send one of its drivers to your house, workplace or wherever you wish and hand deliver five ice cream treats in a goodie bag all from an "Uber Ice Cream" branded vehicle. Needless to say, people went crazy over this on social media. Just search the hashtag #UberIceCream on Twitter and you'll see what I mean. This annual event has been an excellent way for Uber to engage its customers in a fun way while reinforcing its branding and generating buzz.
Car dealers can use the same idea to engage their community. No, I'm not talking about delivering ice cream for $25 but rather finding creative and fun ways with which to provide an unexpected surprise for a customer. A dealer in North Carolina holds "Free Gas Friday" every week. This amounts to no more than a sales manager and second employee (to film) driving around town armed with balloons, a goodie bag filled with a dealership shirt and hat and a gift card for $25 in gas until they find a vehicle bearing their dealership's license plate or sticker. When they find somebody, they cause a big scene thanking the customer for their business and awarding their loyalty with the prizes. Since they make sure that they start this quest at lunchtime, more often than not the person they find is in the midst of eating lunch at a restaurant or other food establishment. Simply by being in public and raising a little ruckus, they gain positive exposure for the dealership and return to the dealership armed with some excellent video content for social media use. This content is by far the most engaged with on their social media accounts and adds some fun into their dealership's personality.
There are many paths to earn customer loyalty. They are, however, becoming harder to navigate as customer loyalty becomes more fragile through new technologies centered around price or convenience. Dealerships should look for unique ways in which they can engage their customers and their communities. Small things like this can generate buzz and exposure while not only directly affecting a single customer but also indirectly affecting many others. And a little ice cream on a hot day or some free gas will almost certainly score your dealership some brownie points.
Amazon Loyalty Program Promises More Deals Than Black Friday
In a recent press release, Amazon announced that, in celebration of its 20th birthday, July 15 will be "Prime Day" – a day on which Amazon claims it will offer more deals to its loyal Prime members than Black Friday. Amazon promises, "new deals starting as often as every ten minutes," with the ultimate goal to make this a global shopping event. For non-members, Amazon is offering free 30-day trials of its paid loyalty program.
Amazon has steadily increased the value of its Prime membership by adding movie and music streaming services, in addition to its free 2-day air shipping. And, that's not all — to increase the buzz and introduce the new Prime Photo service, social media contests are being held, with a rather enticing $10,000 gift card as the prize. The hype surrounding Amazon's announcement, along with its offer to non-members of free trials, will almost certainly result in a membership enrollment spike.
Well … this is all very interesting, but how does it apply to the auto industry?
Dealers who use loyalty programs gain two valuable assets:
- A customer that enrolls in your loyalty program is telling you that they will be returning. This mental commitment in the customer's mind increases with each visit, as they progress towards a reward, or use the membership for savings. As long as you consistently provide a good customer experience, the chances of defection by that consumer decrease. In addition, members of loyalty programs tend to visit more often and, on average, spend more when they do, which increases revenue in all departments.
- These programs usually have robust reporting tools. As such, you gain access to valuable data that can be used to market better. You can also identify customers who are likely to defect through such data as time between visits, or decreased spending. Loyalty programs also help identify – and reward – those customers that are the most loyal. These customers are the most likely to refer friends and family, as well as to become brand advocates.
Innovative dealers that think outside-the-box usually trump the competition. Perhaps it's worth taking a page out of one of the most successful retailers on the planet – Amazon. Consider holding loyalty events, or days similar to the one Amazon is employing. These events don't have to be costly. It could be something as simple as "Free Member Car Wash Day," or an additional savings day in service. This could help to keep your loyalty members loyal AND drive in more members.
Amazon's "Prime Day" sale is likely to be a success. Whether or not it trumps Black Friday in the eyes of consumers is yet to be seen. One thing it will probably accomplish, however, is to add a whole new group of consumers to their membership base, anxiously awaiting the next deal – and there is no business that wouldn't want that.
Would You Like White or Red Wine With Your Oil Change?
If you were to ask today's consumers if they'd like to hang out at a car dealership, chances are that the majority would respond "no." When consumers do visit a dealership to purchase a vehicle or get their vehicle serviced, many times the process can be longer than desired and is not always a great experience for the consumer. Dealerships have been attempting to streamline the sales and service process through the use of technology to make the entire process faster andmore efficient so as to be more consumer friendly.
Some dealerships are going a little bit further to make the customer experience more enjoyable with the addition of delis, Starbucks, movie theaters and hair salons, as permanent fixtures. And thinking even further outside the box, a recent Automotive News article highlighted a Fort Worth, Texas dealership that chose to open a 250 square foot wine store inside their dealership. It has been so popular with their customers that it has actually added $700,000 to the dealership's annual bottom line.
Due to its popularity, the dealership then opened a full size retail wine bar in downtown Fort Worth… with a catch. Not only does the dealership display new Cadillacs inside (and outside) the bar, the bar also serves as a satellite service drive that allows wine bar customers to have their vehicles serviced while socializing and enjoying some wine. The wine bar is 20 miles from the dealership so there are employees on-site who transport customers' vehicles to the dealership for service, then back to the wine bar upon service completion. This provides a very unique customer experience. It also makes service much more convenient for the many downtown Fort Worth employees who would otherwise have to drive 45-minutes to an hour to have their vehicle serviced at the dealership. In addition, the wine bar produces at least one vehicle sale per month, to say nothing about the increased service business.
Regardless of whether you decide that a wine bar within your dealership is a good idea, creating an excellent experience for your customers certainly is. If your customer experience is less than great, it won't matter if you have an amusement park in the back lot, your customer could still leave. Customer loyalty is a fickle creature that can be lost much faster than it can be gained. Give your customers a reason to choose your dealership. Then ensure that the experience they have is one that they would want to repeat. Only then can you really build that relationship and transform your customers into loyal customers that will return because they want to – not because they have to.

There are a lot of places where we currently return 1001 (PROTOCOL_ERROR) when we hit an internal error of some sort. There's no equivalent of the HTTP 5xx series in the WS protocol (IMO an oversight), but Patrick suggests we send GOING_AWAY (1002) in that case.
We also need to make sure that we don't throw exceptions in such cases to the DOM unless the W3C spec specifies we should--I'll audit that at the same time.
Turning this into a grab-bag about a few minor close_close/abort related issues.
Created attachment 613459 [details] [diff] [review]
Set mStopped in a few places where we'd ABORT otherwise.
The alternative is to remove the ABORT check for mStopped=1 in StopSession.
Actually, that's probably cleaner. Let me know what you think.
Created attachment 613460 [details] [diff] [review]
Avoid having AbortSession called twice when ProcessInput called
OnInputStreamReady was already checking return value and calling AbortSession:
this patch changes other call site to do same, and removes AbortSession calls
from ProcessInput itself.
Code also now returns error from OnDataAvailable() if ProcessInput fails--AFAICT
that's the logical thing to do, though I don't think it makes any practical
difference (if we instead have the loop and/or further OnDataAvail calls
continue and call ProcessInput again, it's set up to check mStopped and drop any
additional content, so same result. But this is easier to follow.)
Created attachment 613461 [details] [diff] [review]
Fix some close code cases.
Never send CLOSE_ABNORMAL (1006): spec specifically forbids sending it. We
already have logic in place to deliver 1006 to client when needed (i.e. when no
Fin sent/received).
Send CLOSE_GOING_AWAY for NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED.
Make error code explicit instead of using whatever rv might be, where possible.
Use CLOSE_INVALID_PAYLOAD (1007) for bad UTF-8, per spec.
Comment on attachment 613459 [details] [diff] [review]
Set mStopped in a few places where we'd ABORT otherwise.
I think you can just remove the ABORT in StopSession and replace it with (a mostly redundant) mStopped = 1.. I think that's an impt property to be ale to rely on.
sound good?
Comment on attachment 613461 [details] [diff] [review]
Fix some close code cases.
definitely better. thanks.
Created attachment 614138 [details] [diff] [review]
Remove requirement to set mStopped before calling StopSession.
Didn't remove mStopped = 1 in AbortSession because it seems we want that set right away--no need to delay until we actually send FIN.

var generator = makeGenerator();
Related to bug 698074 ? (The testcase there doesn't involve yield)
This has the same regressing changeset as bug 698074, so fwiw, that bug might just be a dupe of this one.
The flags (-m -n) specified in comment 0 weren't needed either.
autoBisect shows this is probably related to the following changeset:

Chris Brown [1] performed on Tuesday night's "Dancing With the Stars" without addressing his recent outburst on the set of the network's "Good Morning America."
The singer, who last week trashed his dressing room after a "GMA" interview in which Robin Roberts asked him about assaulting Rihanna [2], pretaped the two songs he performed on "DWTS," according to Entertainment Weekly [3].
"DWTS" cast members had mixed feelings about his appearing on the show.
Dancing pro Cheryl Burke, who has said she is a victim of domestic violence, isn't a fan of the singer. "As a victim of domestic violence, I don't agree with him coming on the show, but it's out of my control," Burke told Extra [4].

Meanwhile, celebrity contestant Wendy Williams was on the other end of the spectrum.
"I can't wait, I can't wait! What's gonna happen?" she told Extra before the show started.
On Monday, "DWTS" host Tom Bergeron said he wasn't exactly eager to talk to Brown.

"I did tell the producers it may be to their advantage to not have me interview him," Bergeron said on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show, "because my natural tendency would be to say something. So, don't put me in a position where you are asking me not to say something, because I really won't do that."
Brown later apologized for the outburst, saying on BET's "106 & Park" that he was "disappointed" in the way he acted.
