Your Customers Are Polygamous!
A report done in 2016 shows that almost all the customers cheat on their favorite brand…..this article talks about loyalty programs and steps in reducing those cheating customers.
In the current economic situation developing and actually keeping those loyal customers is essential for your business.
We all know by now that your loyal customers are the ones who spend the most in your establishment and also do your free marketing, spreading word of mouth, and making your brand known.
To take you back to the roots, loyalty programs were first established by airlines, as frequent flyer, still being the most successful one till the present. In these recent times all kinds of business have implemented this strategy, such as restaurants and even airport parking. The core idea of these programs is that the more you use product X, the more special your customer becomes, therefore they get extra benefits they get.
Why should you have a loyalty program in the first place?
The loyalty programs nowadays are evolving, and in order to make it you need to offer much more than merely points. Let's look at some examples of the industry giants:
Marriott changes their loyalty program by offering other rewards which they called "new experiences in the marketplace", offering exclusive cooking classes and Broadway show tickets
Other companies such as Virgin America, United Airlines and Hard Rock International have also announced some changes and upgrades in their rewards programs.
The reason behind this is that your guest might not want to reuse their rewards just for a simple stay in your hotel, but they like having options. I know you might be thinking that I want my guest to come back but offering them more options makes your bond even stronger.
A 2016 Study shows that a typical American household is member in 29 loyalty programs but only active in 12, making these programs a commodity, therefore they need to be spiced up. To remain relevant, you need to take a step back and analyze your situation, looking beyond a simple loyalty program.
Here are three points that you should consider:
So, what are the types of customer loyalty programs out there? I will give you brief explanation so you can have a better view of what you are offering and possibly if you should upgrade.
Enticement Programs
These programs are designed around the idea that your best customers are to be rewarded with special treatment, favors or prizes, some companies offer freebies such as toothbrushes or on the house breakfast. When using enticement programs make sure you do what you promised and don't cut down on your program benefits or cancel them. This would create customer dissatisfaction and obviously you do not want that.
Loyalty Service Programs
No matter how good your enticement program is, lacking the service while offering it is a pitfall. Talk, talk and talk to your guests, listen to them, there lays the key of finding out more about their wants and needs. Give them more than they expect, when you exceed customer expectations you made sure they will be by your side. Be unique to your local community, promote your local community. Show your guests what they can experience outside the hotel too, something that they would only be able to find in that particular place such as historical areas, stores and activities.
Communication Programs
Customers are loyal to those who keep in touch. The communication can be in many ways such as newsletters, birthday cards and social media. Make sure your guests know that you did not forget about them.
As we can see there are a lot of things to consider when it comes to your customer loyalty program, and although you might think you do not need to do more, there is always room for improvement and innovation. Implementing a good loyalty program amongst other things brings you a step closer to being successful in your business.

Ruby is a red kunoichi (female ninja). She was a friend of Princess Kitana and she originated from a realm called Hinpar which fell victim to Shao Kahn's tyranny.
It is assumed that Ruby may have been the killer of Jax Briggs' grandfather, as she states that she "took care" of him before he died.
Jax meets Ruby who is secretly working as one of Kahn's agents. She tries to find out the location of the Earthrealm warriors' base. Jax then finds himself captured by the warriors of Ermac's forces. He is held captive at the emperor's castle where he receives numerous tortures by Kahn's Shadow Priests.
Jax's allies come to his rescue but they are outnumbered by the Emperor's troops and are captured. It seems that their destruction is inevitable. At that moment, Ruby decides to help the Earthrealm warriors escape by leading them through a hidden exit.
Jax offers Ruby a chance to go along with him. Ruby decides that her place is in Outworld in order to fight for her old homeworld. They bid farewell after Ruby sheds a tear.

I bagged them up and took them to her at the pantry, then listened as she shared why they're still there. I am trying to learn from the teachers I've resisted seeing as such.

I remember being a young kid, before caller i.d. and my great grandmother would call. Obviously before Caller i.d., we had no idea who was calling but as soon as you picked up the phone, before hearing her actual voice, you would hear 100 db of television in the back ground. Immediately we knew who it was. The same as when certain others would call, the first word they spoke, you knew who it was. You were in tune with their voice.
What about those times a very distant relative would call. You pick up and hear "guess who!"..Your first thoughts-"i have no idea who this is" and start guessing.
Jesus says: "my people hear my voice and they follow me. They will follow no other name".
We are very in tune with all the noises of every day life. We are attuned to our boss' voice, our spouse' voice, our preachers' voice. We are attuned to the sounds of car horns, sirens, Starbucks lines and the radio. We are surrounded by NOISE all day and every day. The thing that has been challenging me lately is, how will i be able to discern who's calling me without knowing his voice or having tuned in. Gods voice has no caller i.d. and if we aren't spending intentional time in a quiet place meditating on his word, if we aren't IN the word, how will we know if God is speaking? How will we know if the words we hear are coming from his voice?
It's easier said than done-to make time for just God where there is nothing but peace. God has to compete with all the noise of life for our hearts. He has to compete with our schedule, our temptation, our complacency, our families, our hobbies, our technology..the list goes on. God says: "if you would draw near to me, i will draw near to you". Too often, we focus on God and what he does-heals, saves, strengthens, grants wisdom, brings peace..how often do we find a quiet place just to commune with God for WHO HE IS?
My personal belief is, wherever we are with our relationship with God today, should not be the same tomorrow. David was a man after Gods own heart because Davids true desire was just to know God and his constant pursuit was Gods heart.
I want to be like David...I want a deep relationship. I pursue it in spurts..i fall back and shift my focus elsewhere..then pursue Gods heart..I hear his voice and then life gets noisy and distracting..Today, i pray for a no caller i.d. kind of lifestyle..i invite you to join me and for those who are around me in my daily life, in invite your accountability.

Not rambling at all Randal, what you have written gives alot of food for thought. I love what you say about God having to compete with all the noise of life, how very true. Life is so busy nowadays, and I for one am distracted all the time in my relationship with God. Sometimes in prayer I find myself going totally off on a tangent within seconds, without me even realising. I get back on track, only to be distracted again and again. It seems that the harder I try to concentrate the more I am distracted. I reckon God knows what is my heart though, and He knows I am at least trying.
The only thought that comes to mind is that it appears there is a duplicate blog showing up.
Oh, and perhaps a suggestion that if you're in the Word, you don't need to listen for God's voice because you're already reading His words!
I do hear ya on the noise - very good to get quiet and just sit. Read the Word and sit. And pray. I find that things come to mind and I can process them against the Word. I don't do it enough.

Transplantee families enjoyed an informal gathering at the Residence Inn, sharing information and stories.
Several physicians made presentations about advancements in the treatment of MSUD patients. In 2004, CHP developed the world's first protocol for performing liver transplants in MSUD patients. This protocol led to 18 patients receiving liver transplants at Children's, the most of any center in the world. CHP's comprehensive protocol includes the development of specialized computerized order sets (which direct the transplant team every step of the process); the establishment of a completely sterile room needed to mix amino acids for MSUD patients in the event of a metabolic crisis; and specific formulas called total parenteral nutrition (TPN) formulas in the event of a metabolic crisis.
More than 70 people attended the symposium, including many transplanted MSUD patients and their families, caregivers from CHP, the Clinic for Special Children in Strasburg, Pa., and the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. Presentations where made by: George V. Mazariegos, MD, director of Pediatric Transplantation; Gerard Vockley, MD, PhD, chief of Medical Genetics; Hilary Feldman, PhD, of the Child Development Unit, Kevin Strauss, MD of the Clinic for Special Children and Ajai Khanna, MD, of University of Cailfornia, San Diego. Time was set aside for questions and answers following each presentation.
Elan Geffen, transplanted 1/17/06, celebrated his 22nd birthday with friends while attending the MSUD Transplant Symposium.

Problem Set 3
- Due Mar 7, 2019 by 10am
- Points 100
- Submitting a file upload
Problem Set 3 consists of 2 problems:
A) Problem 13.1 in textbook
1. The United States presently emit to the atmosphere 1.3x109 moles day-1 of NOx and 1.0x109 moles day-1 of SO2. We assume that all of the emitted NOx and SO2 are precipitated back over the United States as HNO3 and H2SO4, respectively (this is not a bad approximation). The area of the United States is 1.0x107 km2 and the mean precipitation rate is 2 mm day-1. Assuming that HNO3 and H2SO4 are the only impurities in the rain, show that the resulting mean pH of precipitation over the United States is 3.8
2. What is the actual range of rainwater pH values over the United States? Explain your overestimate of rainwater acidity in question 1.
B) Dinosaurs and Acid Rain
A dinosaur extinction theory suggests that a falling asteroid 65 million years ago would have led to extremely acid global rainfall, killing the land vegetation and hence the dinosaurs' food supply. What acid(s) could have been involved?

Jesse Williams' Powerful Acceptance Speech At 2016 BETs Awards — Watch
Jesse Williams delivered an insanely poignant speech while accepting the Humanitarian Award at the 2016 BET awards. Jesse's powerful speech about the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement got a standing ovation from the enraptured audience.
Congratulations to Jesse Williams! The Grey's Anatomy actor, 34, is a passionate activist, and he was rightly recognized for his work at the 2016 BET Awards on June 26. Jesse took home the Humanitarian award for his work raising awareness of the Black Lives Matter movement, and for his "commitment to furthering social change." He gave a beautiful speech that elicited a standing ovation from the audience, and likely sparked a renewed, important conversation about Black Lives Matter.
."Jesse Williams is the essence of a modern civil rights legend in the making," BET Chairwoman and CEO Debra Lee told the audience. "And a true pioneer of our new generation of leaders. Outside of TV, Jesse's role in life is that of someone tirelessly committed to becoming the booming voice of modern day activism."
PICS: Hottest Hunks Of The 2016 BET Awards
The crowd roared as Jesse took the stage, and gave one hell of a speech. "Now, this award, this is not for me, this is for the real organizers all over the country, activist civil rights attorneys, the parents, the teachers, the students who are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do. All right?" Jesse said.
"It's kind of basic mathematics, the more we learn about who we are and how we got here, the more we will mobilize. Now, this is also in particular for the black women who have spent their lifetime dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves, we can and will do better for you," he continued.
"This invention called whiteness uses and abuses us," Jesse said. "Burying black people out of sight and out of mind while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil — black gold, ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them, gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit."
Jesse spoke about police violence that targets the black community, as well, and called for justice. Jesse traveled to Ferguson, Missouri to support protestors on the frontline after the unjust death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in August 2014. He spoke about the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, fatally shot by a police officer in Cleveland, Ohio, because the cop somehow thought the child was wielding a gun.
"Freedom is always coming in the hereafter. But we want it now," Jesse said, toward the end of his speech. After thanking the audience, and getting huge applause, Jesse walking offstage, fist raised in solidarity.

Good Evening Dolls,
Recently I was lucky enough to get invited to attend a Blogger event at Lush Cosmetics in Exeter on Friday 28th July. Now this was very exciting for me, although I was also extremely nervous that I might be out of my depth as I'm still really new to the blogging industry. However upon arrival at the event my nerves soon settled and I really started to relax and enjoy it.
We started off the evening with a little look around the shop and getting to meet the other local bloggers, and getting the chance to wonder around Lush after hours is quite the treat as it's always so busy when I go in there usually and I always feel somewhat intimidated as I'm never quite sure what product I would like to try other than their signature Bath bombs and the legendary Mask of Magnaminty.
The focus of the evening was to be on their 'Naked products' by naked they mean – to be without packaging as we all know that Lush are an extremely ethical and environmentally friendly brand so it made sense that there is a strong focus on these naked products. These are exactly the products that I was really interested to learn about as these are the ones that come with no packaging therefore very little explanation of what they are and how to use them.
We had a fun little ice breaker game where we were split into two teams and then had to do a relay around the shop with a bath bomb on a wooden spoon and each person in the team did a leg of the shop and the final person had to unwrap the bath bomb from the knot and chuck it in the infamous large silver bowls everyone see's the demo's being done in Lush. And our team won! Yay! This was just a good bit of fun to get us all relaxed.
Next up we got to get our hand dirty and start the mixing process of making our own comforter bubble bars, now I have to hold my hands up and say I have never tried a bubble bar before but I'm a huge fan now, I really like that they can be used multiple times by breaking some off easily unlike the bath bombs which are just for single use. We all got a chance to pour in an ingredient and mash the mixture together – one group did the white part of the comforter and the other did the pink – then it was left to rest for a while for us to return later and complete the process of combining the two mixtures to make our very comforters.
During the night we all also got to have a pampering treat on one of our arms, Adam (lush staff member) gave me a lovely pamper using an array of products I hadn't used before (their names sadly escape me now) but I do know that my skin felt super-duper soft afterwards and I would now definitely like to try some of their shower products / both the naked ones and the bottled ones.
Lou (lush staff member) then moved us onto the naked products in terms of hair care. Now this was fascinating to me, as since children I have struggled constantly with hair loss so it was fab to have a mini consultation with someone who has great knowledge and understanding of their products and what might be suitable for my hair type and my hair concerns. Lou showed us some 'Naked Shampoo' – now this is a completely new concept to me, I'm very used to pouring my shampoo out of a bottle, so shampoo coming in the form of what looks like a bar of soap then this was intriguing to me!
These naked shampoo's give up to 85 washes! That's awesome and for £5.95 each it's absolutely fantastic value for money! Lou recommended the 'New Shampoo' to me which has cloves and cinnamon in it, so its great for hair growth and great for your scalp so of course I had to buy one of these to try – and just as a post blogger event update – I have tried it and LOVE it! My hair felt truly soft and nourished and I would absolutely recommend this product too!
Towards the end of the night we went back to finishing off our comforters which was basically mixing a pink and white ball together and then to 'twist and squish' to make a swirl effect. This was harder than it looked but it was great fun and I was pleased with the end result and we all ended up with our very own giant comforter to take home and enjoy. And man am I enjoying it and so are my kids, and smells amazing and makes the bath a gorgeous and fun bright shocking pink much to the delight of my daughter. ITs super fun to mush into the palms of your hands too, so it's really sensory for kids.
Last up we got to have a private shopping session where I picked up a few things I hadn't tried before and we got to choose an item from a lucky dip and got given an amazing goodie bag too! So all in all the night was fab and I thoroughly enjoyed, not only learning about all the products, but meeting other local beauty bloggers and meeting some lovely members of the Exeter Lush Team!
Big Thank you to Adam, Lou and Elsa who couldn't have been more knowledgeable and welcoming. There will be posts up about some of my fave lush products soon! To check out Lush cosmetics click here

Winter tires a must for drive to Florida
Most consumers have been oversold about how quickly winter tires will wear when run on hot pavement, writes John Mahler. Yes, winter tires do wear faster in the heat than all-season tires, but they do not melt off the car.
What would be best? Driving to Florida this winter with winter tires, then driving around Florida for a month in summer-type heat on softer rubber, or driving south with all-season tires for a month's stay in the warmer climate?
To me, the answer is obvious. Winter tires are the way to go. When it comes to those four small patches of rubber holding the car on the road safely, my philosophy is, "Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best."
It has been a rare driver who has made it all the way down the interstate to Florida without some form of weather raising its head: sometimes a little rain and many times a major snowfall. I think we can all remember TV news coverage of cars sliding — in slow motion — sideways into the ditches in Kentucky and the Carolinas. So depending on how lucky you feel, is it worth taking a chance with your family's safety? I think not. Winter tires are a must for the trip down and back.
Most consumers have been oversold about how quickly winter tires will wear when run on hot pavement. Yes, winter tires do wear faster in the heat than all-season tires, but they do not melt off the car. That may have been true 20 years ago, but not today.
Today, winter tires use materials that can withstand heat much better, especially winter tires that are H-speed rated and above, as well as winter tires that are rated "XL" for extra-load.
The great enemy of winter tires is heat, that's for sure. But if you make sure you do not generate extra heat in the tire, you can help its tread live longer. That means checking the tire pressures religiously. Under-inflation causes extra heat to build up, and that accelerates tire wear.
And don't drive the tires like sport tires, throwing them into corners and braking late. Show the tire some respect and extra wear will be minimized.
I have regularly driven winter tires six to eight weeks in Florida, and they still lasted five winters. A tire company executive sheepishly admitted to me he drove a set of winter tires year-round in the GTA before they wore out in year four. He was just too busy to change them.
I just got an Audi Q5 equipped with Continental Cross Contact LX Sport P235/55R19 all-season tires. On all my previous vehicles, I have used winter tires from November to March, except for a Mercury Villager, which was no problem on all seasons.
However, I am seriously considering not installing winters on the Q5 because of cost and concerns over the handling/storage of spares. Given that the Q5 is four-wheel drive (I know, stopping is the major concern) driven only in the GTA, would you please comment?
You are correct, it is all about stopping when the roads are slushy. The Audi Quattro system is amazing for getting traction to go, but no AWD system can do anything to help you stop. The instant you move your foot from gas to brake, you go from AWD drive to no-wheel drive.
Remember all the traction aids on your Audi (traction control, AWD, stability control, ABS)? Well, none of these electronics can create traction; they can only maximize whatever traction you have. All traction is done by the tires.
The all-season Contis on your Q5 are not Continental's best effort. Their newest SUV tire, the Continental CrossContct LX20 with EcoPlus Technology, deservedly ranks No. 1 on most consumer surveys. In short, it has higher grip levels in winter and summer and lasts longer. However it is still an all-season with little traction below -14C.
If this was my Quattro, and I did not have room to store winter tires and wheels, I would at least get a set of all-weather tires, specifically the Nokian WRG3 SUV. These are winter snowflake-rated but stay on the car year-round. In winter, they will out-stop an all-season tire almost as well as a fully dedicated winter tire.

This appeal was directed against the decision of the Receiving Section (RS) refusing a request for re-establishment of rights in relation to the time limit for paying the third-year renewal fee with surcharge in respect of a Euro-PCT application.
As so often in re-establishment cases, there were several parties involved. The Australian applicant had an Australian patent attorney ("GH") and was represented before the EPO by a European representative. The payment of renewal fees was entrusted to a specialised company ("CPA").
The third-year renewal fee fell due on March 31, 2008 and payment of that fee, together with a surcharge, could still have been validly effected within the subsequent six-month grace period. However, the EPO received no payment by the expiry of that period. As a consequence, with a communication dated November 6, 2008, the EPO informed the applicant that the application in suit was deemed to be withdrawn under A 86(1).
Then professional representative filed an application for re-establishment, stating that :
"I hereby request re-establishment of rights of the above-mentioned European patent application … Please deduct the fee for restoration from our deposit account in accordance with our on-line instructions …GH only became aware that the patent application had lapsed due to the failure to pay the renewal fee when, on 23 October 2008 GH read a report from CPA, informing them that, in the previous month, a renewal fee had not been paid and that this patent application, amongst others, had consequently lapsed …It is requested that rights in the above-mentioned patent application are re-established in their entirety. If anything further is required in order for you to make your decision, please let me know …".
The electronically filed "online instructions" read as follows:
On March 23, 2009, the RS sent a communication to the professional representative, stating that as the third renewal fee and additional fee had not been paid, the omitted act had not been completed within two months of removal of the cause of non-compliance, and that it was the intention of the RS to reject the request as inadmissible. The RS stated that it considered the date of the removal of the cause of non-compliance to be 23 October 2008.
The European representative replied to the above communication in a letter dated 8 May 2009 which stated that:
"...we submit that the principle of good faith applies between the EPO and the applicant, and that the legitimate expectations of the parties to the proceedings must not be violated. Under the principles laid down in the decisions T 14/89 and J 13/90, there is a legitimate expectation on the part of the applicant that the EPO should draw to the applicant's attention deficiencies in a request for re-establishment of rights which are obviously easy to correct. I believe that the EPO has complied with this principle by sending the communication dated 23 March 2009 and that, accordingly, by completing the omitted act within the time period of the letter, the time limit for filing the request for re-establishment of rights will be deemed to have been met.… it is submitted that, since completion of the omitted act simply involves paying the renewal fee and surcharge, this is obviously very easy to correct".
The [applicant] paid the third renewal fee and surcharge on May 8, 2009.
The RS based its decision to reject the request for re-establishment as inadmissible upon the non-completion of the omitted act of payment of the third renewal fee and surcharge; a finding that the letter of 23 December 2008 did not contain an implicit instruction to debit the outstanding renewal fee and surcharge from the European representative's deposit account with the EPO.
Regarding the [applicant's] arguments concerning good faith and legitimate expectations, the RS considered that as the request for re-establishment had been filed on the last day for doing so at 18.35 hours CET, the EPO was not in a position to warn the [applicant] of the non-payment of the renewal fee and surcharge within the few hours that remained before the expiry of the 2 month time limit.
The applicant filed an appeal, but it was dismissed by the Legal Board, for the following reasons:
[2] In order to be allowable, the request for re-establishment has to meet the requirements of A 122, one of these requirements being the completion of the omitted act.
[3] The first issue to be addressed in this appeal is whether the request for re-establishment of 23 December 2008 contains an instruction to the EPO to debit the third renewal fee and surcharge from the European representative's deposit account with the EPO, thus completing the relevant "omitted act" under A 122.
[4] As stated in the third full paragraph, page 2 of the request for re-establishment […], on 23 October 2008 the Australian representative became aware of the non-payment of the third renewal fee and surcharge. Hence there was a period of approximately 2 months in which it could have been arranged for CPA or someone else to pay the fee. The [applicant] has not suggested that 23 October 2008 is not the date of removal of the cause of non-compliance with the period for paying the third renewal fee and surcharge. Hence, the finding in the decision under appeal that 23 October 2008 is the day of removal of the cause of non-compliance is correct. It follows that in accordance with R 136(1) and (2) the period for paying the third renewal fee and surcharge ended on 23 December 2008.
[5] The request for re-establishment of 23 December 2008 does not contain any explicit instructions to the EPO to debit the third renewal fee and surcharge from the European representative's deposit account with the EPO. The same is true for the instructions that the European representative filed electronically on 23 December 2008. The issue, therefore, is whether the 23 December 2008 letter contains an implicit instruction to so debit the European representative's deposit account.
[6] The first argument to address is that it was clear from the 23 December 2008 letter that it was intended to be a complete application, that is to say that all the aspects of the application for re-establishment were intended to be included as part of that submission, CPA being no longer responsible for these fees.
The entire tenor of the relevant text of the 23 December 2008 letter […] is that CPA has been responsible for these fees in the past. There is no indication that this responsibility has now ended and nothing else which could be understood as an implicit reference to the payment of the missing renewal fee and surcharge.
Three declarations were attached to the request for re-establishment. These are from Andrew Mueller, the Managing Director of the [applicant], Daniel Rosenthal, the [applicant's] Australian patent attorney, and Sheila McLean, an administrator with the [applicant's] Australian patent attorney. These declarations set out the history of how CPA was responsible for paying the renewal fees and how the payment of the third renewal fee came to be omitted.
[6.1] These declarations fail to indicate any intention of the [applicant] that it would be the European representative who would pay the renewal fees. Thus these declarations do not assist the [applicant's] case on this point. Rather, the declarations and the electronically filed instructions of 23 December 2008, if read together, suggest, if anything, that CPA was going to pay the third renewal fee and surcharge.
[7] Thus the Board concludes that the [applicant's] request for re-establishment of 23 December 2008 does not contain an instruction, explicit or implicit, that the EPO should deduct the third renewal fee and surcharge from the European representative's account.
[8] Turning now to the arguments, set out in point VII above, based upon the case law of the Boards, the first case cited is decision J 6/90. That decision concerned a situation where the missing renewal fee and re-establishment fee had been paid in time and the applicant filed a letter indicating that "... a written application for re-establishment of rights" would follow. This written application was received outside the time limit and hence the RS found the request to be inadmissible. The Board found the letter, which was filed in time, to amount to a request for re-establishment in itself. A similar fact situation and conclusion can also be found in decision T 585/08 [5]. The [applicant] argues that the situation of decision J 6/90 is analogous to the "reverse" situation of the present case and that hence its letter of 23 December 2008 could be seen as an implicit request for the deduction of the third renewal fee and surcharge from the European representative's deposit account.
Decision J 6/90 would only be helpful to the [applicant] if its letter of 23 December 2008 could be considered as indicating an intention that the third renewal fee and surcharge be deducted from the European representative's deposit account with the EPO. As set out in point [5] above, the content of the 23 December 2008 request and its accompanying declarations do not, on any reasonable reading, indicate to the reader that the European representative would be responsible for paying such fees and would, therefore, intend to have them paid out of his deposit account at the EPO.
[9] Upon the basis of the duty of the EPO to act in good faith and to satisfy the legitimate expectations of the parties before it, the [applicant] sought to argue that the EPO should have informed it of the deficiency in its request for re-establishment, that is the non-payment of the renewal fee and surcharge. As part of its arguments on good faith and legitimate expectations, the appellant referred to the cases underlying decisions T 14/89, J 13/90, and J 23/90. Decision J 13/90 concerned a request for re-establishment following non-payment of a renewal fee. The RS rejected the request as the omitted act, the payment of the renewal fee, did not take place within the time limit. In its request for re-establishment the applicant had indicated that they would pay the missing fee once their rights had been re-established. The Board found that the applicant was "… evidently confusing the provisions of A 122(2), second sentence, with those of national law which would have allowed them to pay the missing fee after re-establishment had been granted" (see J 13/90 [7]). Applying the principle of good faith the Board found that the EPO should have warned the applicant about this deficiency.
Thus decision J 13/90 deals with a situation where the party gave a clear indication that they had a mistaken understanding of the relevant provisions of the EPC and hence, under the principle of protection of legitimate expectations, the EPO had a duty to correct this misunderstanding. This is not the case here and this case cannot assist the [applicant], also for the reason that in the present case, contrary to the one decided under the decision J 13/90, the request was filed so late that the office could objectively not take action before expiration of the time limit in question - see point [10] below.
[10] The [applicant] referred to decision T 14/89 in support of his appeal. Decision T 14/89 concerns a patent proprietor who filed a request for re-establishment of rights well within the time limit for doing so. This request had two deficiencies: the fee for re-establishment had not been paid and the facts to substantiate the request had not been filed. The Board found (at point [5]) that under the principle of good faith, "... the EPO should not fail to draw the appellant's attention to obvious deficiencies in his acts. This obligation certainly exists if as in the present case, the obvious deficiencies can be expected to be remedied within the time-limit for re-establishment".
Decision T 14/89 was commented upon by the Enlarged Board of Appeal in decision G 2/97 where it found that this decision "… related to the particular facts of that case and that there is no generally applicable principle to be derived therefrom" (point [3.4] of the Reasons). In decision T 14/89, it is to be noted that the EPO had ample time, about 6 weeks before the expiry of the time limit for requesting re-establishment, in which to inform the proprietor of the deficiencies of his request. In the present case the EPO received the request for re-establishment on the last day for filing such a request at 18.35 hours CET, that is after office hours. There is a substantial case law on the principle of protection of legitimate expectations. The duties of the EPO under this principle are limited and do not extend to informing a party of missing fees immediately after the receipt of a request for re-establishment (see J 2/94 [2]).
This principle is further limited in that the EPO can only be expected to warn a party of a deficiency if:
(a) the deficiency is readily identifiable by the EPO; and
(b) the party can still correct it within the relevant time limit (see T 455/98 [2]).
In the present case the deficiency was not readily identifiable. The letter and attached documents submitted on 23 December 2008 contain no internal inconsistencies. These documents contain nothing which could be understood or construed as an indication that CPA or someone else was not going to pay the renewal fee and surcharge, and that this was the responsibility of the European representative. Further, the [applicant] filed its request for re-establishment on the last day for doing so and after EPO office hours. Thus there was no time for the EPO to warn the [applicant] about the non-payment of the third renewal-fee and surcharge even if the EPO had been in a position to spot this deficiency. The [applicant's] argument that the "sufficient time" refers to the [applicant] and not the EPO is unconvincing: only if the EPO has sufficient time within the relevant time limit to warn a party of a deficiency can there be a legitimate expectation by the party that the EPO will do so, and only then does that party have sufficient time to rectify the deficiency within the relevant time limit.
Thus the Board cannot follow the [applicant's] argument that the principle of legitimate expectation would have required the formalities officer to contact the [applicant] after the deadline for re-establishment of rights had passed in order to clarify the situation.
As regards the [applicant's] reference to decision J 23/90, this reference is not developed in the [applicant's] submissions.
[11] None of the cases cited support the appeal.
[12] The [applicant] has invoked the principle of proportionality. The provisions of the EPC seek to strike a balance between legal certainty and the proper administration of justice on the one hand, and substantive justice on the other. More specifically, the time limits in the EPC aim to serve legal certainty and proper administration of justice by avoiding any discrimination or arbitrary treatment. The severe consequence of a loss of a patent application in this case cannot be considered in isolation but must be assessed against the values of legal certainty and proper administration of justice that are embodied by the time limits appropriate to A 122. The application of the principle of proportionality that the [applicant] is advocating would empty the time limits of A 122 of any content and would make the provisions of this article uncertain. In addition the boards of appeal do not have the power to apply provisions of the EPC contra legem, that is contrary to their unambiguous meaning and purpose. The Board thus finds the [applicant's] arguments on this point without merit and they must therefore be dismissed.
[13] In conclusion the Board finds that the RS was correct to find that the request for re-establishment was inadmissible due to non-completion of the omitted act within the time limit for doing so. […]
The appeal is dismissed.

He was the artist whose work struck a chord with very many people across the North East, particularly if their families had been coalmining folk. These were Norman Cornish's specialist subject matter throughout most of his 94 years.
Miners heading for the early morning shift in moonlight featured in some of his most ambitious and popular paintings, as did the same men propping up the bar in the evening, flat caps on their heads and whippets at their feet.
Norman had been a miner himself but he escaped – eventually – although not from Spennymoor, the County Durham town where he lived contentedly all his working life.
Unlike the pitmen painters from Ashington, made famous in a book and a play, Norman Cornish was no amateur. Although his fame was largely confined to the North East, where people identified so closely with his work, he became a very successful professional artist.
His work featured in many exhibitions, notably at the Northumbria University Gallery whose director, Mara-Helen Wood, knew it intimately, loved it and fiercely guarded the artist's reputation.
Although best known for his paintings and sketches depicting coalmining – increasingly sought after by collectors as the last signs of the industry disappear from the landscape – the most recent exhibitions have featured the deft portraits he made of family members.
These pictures, showing domestic scenes such as his wife, Sarah, peeling vegetables and his children, Ann and John, lying on their tummies watching television, showed the tender side of Norman Cornish and an artist whose work could stand alongside the very best.
Posthumously, you can't help but feel, his reputation will grow even outside the North East. This process, thanks to the relationship between the Northumbria University Gallery and the Kings Place galleries in London (also overseen by Mara), is probably already happening.
Norman Cornish was born in Spennymoor on November 18, 1919. In his memoir, A Slice of Life, published in 1989, he recalled the outside 'nettie', watching his dad play football at weekends in the cold and the clippy mat in front of his grandmother's fire.
Norman, a bright lad, passed the 11-plus exam. A college education, however, was beyond the family pocket and at the age of 14 – Boxing Day, 1933 – he joined his dad on the payroll of the Dean and Chapter Colliery. Locals called it 'The Butcher's Shop'.
As Norman recalled in print: "I was to learn that the dangers of gas, stone falls, the darkness and the restricted spaces were all to shape these men into industrial gladiators – with strict codes of behaviour."
Norman worked as a miner for 33 years and it was back trouble rather than his growing success as an artist which eventually prompted him, in 1966, to call it a day. He never regretted it and perhaps he should have done it sooner.
Always talented with pencils and paint (he won a school prize for drawing, earning him an old halfpenny), he joined the sketching club at the Spennymoor Settlement – an educational facility set up for working men during the Depression – when still a teenager.
He had a knack for capturing a mood or a moment with a flick of pencil on pad. In 1940 he entered a portrait of his sister, Ella, for a Northern counties art exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery. His first solo show came in 1946 at the People's Theatre.
By the end of the 1950s he was exhibiting regularly at the Stone Gallery in Newcastle (where LS Lowry also showed his work) and designing NUM lodge banners. In 1962 he was commissioned to paint a mural for the new County Hall in Durham and in 1963 he became the subject of Melvyn Bragg's first television documentary, for BBC arts programme Monitor.
Some foreign travel came his way. He was invited to be part of a cultural delegation to Romania in 1954 and in 1966 was taken to Paris for another documentary, Cornish in Paris.
But Norman Cornish was not one for getting his head turned by fame. He had strong views and could be forthright – even cantankerous – in expressing them.
In a piece for The Journal in 1970, interviewer Gordon Burn (who would go on to find success as an author, often probing the phenomenon of celebrity) described a bit of a spat in the Cornish home.
Noman had told him he was fed up to the back teeth with being called "the pitman painter".
He railed: "I'm sick of being looked at like some sort of zoo animal or specimen. You know the sort of thing... out of the depths comes this bloke and paints his pictures.
"It assumes that a man who works in a mine is not up to writing or painting or playing music. But it simply isn't true."
I interviewed Norman a couple of times, the first at his home in Whitworth Terrace, Spennymoor, in 1989, when A Slice of LIfe came out to accompany an exhibition marking his 70th birthday.
I described him as "tall and straight-backed, young-looking for 70 and scholarly".
But he was commanding, too.
A few minutes after welcoming me into his home, he waved me to the far end of his studio so I could get a good view of his "act".
After leaving the room, he then made a shufling entrance, hands dangling, before slumping into a chair and grunting testily.
This was his impersonation of an old chap in one of his pictures who always entered the local pub in this fashion. "He wasn't in very good fettle," explained Norman, the expert people watcher.
He said there had never been any need for him to leave Spennymoor.
"I've got my subjects all around me – about 25,000 of them. The people of Spennymoor are the same variety or shape as people all over the world so why should I go and seek them elsewhere?"
He described himself, perhaps a litle disingenuously, as "an average person who just draws and feels very deeply about people".
Average Spennymoor residents didn't have to play host to 50 members of the Contemporary Art Society, up from London on a tour whose next stop was Durham Cathedral.
Neither could they say, as Norman did with just the hint of a boast: "I know there are works of mine in Yukon, Toronto and Tasmania."
He could be funny, he could be dogmatic, he could even be a little intimidating. But on the subject of painting and his art, he was thoughtful and eloquent. He explained to me why there was more to art than simply recreating a scene.
"When you are drawing something, the sounds and smells are in your mind as well as what you are seeing," he said. "That might sound odd, but there might be a dog in the street and although I can't see it, it might bark and I'll think, 'Ah, a dog', and in it goes.
"I feel that an artist doesn't necessarily depict any one particular incident but he reflects a time. I think it is all right to paint memories of how things were as well as drawing things as they are."
I finished up, back then, asking what turning 70 meant to him.
Norman reacted swiftly to a daft question: "It means I'm getting older."
In his last years Norman's health did start to fail. He died on August 1 and it is true to say the region has lost one of its giant personalities and achievers.
His paintings capture a vanishing – in many respects a vanished – landscape and way of life. But they are still with us and have merit far beyond the mere documenting of history.
The best of Norman Cornish's paintings are, quite simply, great art.
You will find them in many of the serious art collections in this region and beyond and in the future, since this is often the way of things, their appearance in the auction house catalogues will cause even more of a flurry.

|Frank Stewart Johnson - About 1975
I have never forgotten that September day in 1975. I was home from school sick…which was a pretty rare occurrence. Mom had me ensconced on the couch with a blanket and a glass of squirt when the phone rang. I could tell from Mom's face that it was bad news. She did something that I had never seen her do…she called my Dad out at work. About a half hour later, Dad was home and they were packing getting ready to leave. My Dad's father had died that morning and the only thing that my parents were thinking about was getting to Canby, OR as fast as they could, so they could be with my grandmother. Plans were made for my great uncle to bring us down the next day, but they never came to fruition. I think I went to the neighbors and within a short amount of time, Mom and Dad were on the road to Oregon.
I was only 8 years old when Grandpa Frank died. I'm not sure that I really understood the concept that much, but I knew from the look on my parent's faces that it was bad. I really had only been around him a handful of times in my short life that I remembered. My most vivid memories of him involve candy and peeling an orange. I can remember on one occasion when we were visiting my grandparents that we had to go to the store for something. Once we arrived, my grandfather handed the list to my father and took my hand and took me over to the barrels of penny candy. He patiently helped me pick out a very personal bag of candy of all of my favorites and another bag for my siblings. I felt special though…I had my own special bag. I think that all of Grandpa Frank's grandchildren got the lesson of peeling an orange. We would sit on the floor by the coffee table while he rolled the orange around to soften the peel and then would peel the orange in one long peel. To this day, when I smell a freshly peeled orange, I still think of my grandfather.
Once my parents arrived in Canby, OR, my father dove into the process to help my grandmother deal with the numerous details concerning a funeral service. When my Grandmother, Dad and his sisters saw Grandpa Frank, they all agreed that he didn't quite look right. They decided that it must be the glasses. So, a trip was made home to collect his glasses which were always on top of the fridge. The glasses were added and he looked better…but still not quite right. But that was the way it was going to have to be. The next day dawned and the funeral was held. I don't think that there were many of my Grandpa Frank's family members there, except his sister – since most of them lived in North Dakota. However, my Grandmother's family showed up in force.
|Taken at Grandpa Frank's Funeral - Left to Right - Shirley, Fran, Grandma Marian, Gene, Mary Kay & Anne
Back in 2006, Grandma made the decision to move Grandpa Frank and his sister, Mary up to Freeze Cemetery. So, they were exhumed and cremated and brought up to Idaho for a gathering to bury them in a cemetery that was not that far from the home where Grandma and Grandpa raised their children. I can remember joking with Karl that we could still get his glasses back. We had to explain to some family members what had happened – and once again everyone had a good laugh about how Uncle Karl's glasses were buried with Grandpa Frank.

Skyrim's Ending: A Commentary
|This was what exactly happened a few weeks ago
|If only the fight was half epic like this
|This your face after you've seen Skyrim's ending
A blog where a wannabe famous writer pens his thoughts. He also thinks that he's handsome.
|This was what exactly happened a few weeks ago
|If only the fight was half epic like this
|This your face after you've seen Skyrim's ending
omg.. I agree with you on all counts. I love this game, but for the ending of the main quest to be so anti-climatic makes me feel as though the denizens of Skyrim are too self-absorbed. They only care about what they own and what you can do for them. Like you mentioned, it's true that the final showdown takes place in the land of the dead and thus the entire province can't be expected to throw a huge homecoming party for the Dragonborn, but what about the people who know about your destiny? No dancing Greybeards? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2QL2iw_Gqc)ReplyDelete
yea i was hoping for an ending like the one in oblivion, sure its easy as shit but everyone treats you like a hero, you become champion and you get to see a dragon and the TES equivalent of satan fight while daedra swarm the imperial city. i do however understand why the ending may have been easy its probably because if you keep getting owned by alduin youd never leave soverngarde. also i like the way if you talk to the greybeards they tell you that your journey doesnt end here, and whatever you do next is your choice. but yea we kinda deserve a better reward and more recognition for saving the world. but oh well, its about the journey not the ending.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I expected to get some crazy insane weapon or to be able to transform to a dragon. But no, basically nothing is new. Why oh why don't the creators of the game think of these things? WHY
They are very good at programming but not good at thinking of good endings. Since I saved the world I should become a god. But that would be too cool. It would be too much fun for Bethesda to allow.
Apparently skyrim is REALLY getting asked by people that are saying "Why!? Why make me spend months of my life, and yet make an ending like THAT!?.
And i agree with them and you, its the worst anti-climaxed game i have ever played. But yes skyrim does save itself by having a great storyline, not to mention the countless sidequests.
But i do feel that skyrim needed CUT SCENES, I just feel that it makes the game so much better, as you still have the free-choice feeling yet still have the game show you all that it has to offer.
So yeah really good post, and my god they need cutscenes...
If BLIZZARD meets BETHESDA...you will have the greatest open world cinematic rpg...
For consideration: Elder Scrolls multiplayer
amazing game but the end was so crap made me wonder why i played it for so long all in all great game but a let down at the endReplyDelete
I agree!
Not only this, but the lack of resolution of the Thalmor storyline really annoyed me!
Half of the entire story was about the Civil War and how it was engineered by the Thalmor to keep the Empire weak. I chose not to do the Civil War storyline as both sides had valid points & were also annoying b*stards, but mainly, because I noticed early on that the Thalmor were the ones behind the whole plot (even before I discovered their Dossiers in the Embassy which confirmed this).
At the end of the game, OK I said the world, but all I have to show for it is some temporary ceasefire and the arrogant Elves roaming about Skyrim thinking they own the place.
Why on earth after killing Alduin could there not be a new mission where you sit Tullius and Ulfric down again and say "Look, I've killed the dragon. Now let's kill these pesky elves too!" and have an epic mission.
They either better resolve this situation with some downloadable content update OR Elder Scrolls VI - but I don't want to have to wait another 3-5 years to be able to kill the Thalmor so it better be the former!

I'll update this post as soon as I come home.
Hope you all have a great day wherever you are!
Home again after a lovely picnic and open top train ride :) I hope the good weather decides to stay for a while...
Thank you so much for visiting today and I hope my future posts will not be as long winded!

Grace was happy to enjoy Thanksgiving with her Great Grandmother Emmy, her Great Aunt Jenny, Great Uncle Larry, second cousin Elizabeth, Grandpa, Uncle Chris and Godfather Alex. The only person missing was her Uncle Mike, who called us from New Orleans (unfortunately, Grace was taking a nap, so she didn't get to talk to him).
She's still not sure what the big deal with turkey is, but she did enjoy her rice cereal… She also enjoyed all of the napping people who were willing to snuggle her and let her sleep on their lap. She also showed off her new baby vocabulary to anyone who would listen and giggled at her great grandmother's jokes.

What you did was pretty much make the original OSSR with the new OSSR2 grip, trigger, and bipod, and then trim down the barrel and stock a bit.
You may save lots of parts, but you're also losing a lot of stability and power as well. Just a warning.
I know i made it slightly less sturdy but it is still sturdy enough and is not that much less stable also (no offence) but i made better more explanatory instructions

Writing a Resume: 5 Keywords and/or Phrases That Are Attention Grabbers for Employers
Great book to develop resumes.
Keywords and/or Phrases That Attract Employers to Resumes.
So you have a resume and you think it's great. You have the right buzz words sprinkled throughout, you think the format is a good one, you have it posted on various job websites, you've e-mailed it to friends and family for feedback to see what they think of it, and you've gotten good responses from your friends and family, but you are getting very few, if any, bites from employers. What's the deal? Well, have you thought of putting some out-of-the-box attention grabbers on your resume? Attention grabbers that pertain to you - that say something about you or about what you are willing to do? This is more than a local economy and employees must act like it. Not only must employees be dressed to impress, but employees' resumes must be dressed to impress as well.
Here are some attention grabbers you can put on your resume that you may not have thought about.
- Willing to Relocate - I know, this is easier said than done. If you are open to relocation make a list of city and states in which you are willing to reside. Make sure these cities and states are beneficial to your family, if you have one. See what positions are open to your husband or wife in those cities and states. Investigate schools in the area for your children. Check out applicable state and local taxes along with the housing market. Putting this phrase / attention grabber on your resume takes a lot of thought. Many employers have offices in various states and overseas. Employers may ask employees to relocate permanently or for a short period of time. If you don't mind being a road running then this is the attention grabber to place on your resume.
- Willing to Travel - This is much easier. Who doesn't like to travel for the company especially if you get to travel overseas. I do, I do. Along with putting that you are willing to travel, put the percentage you are willing to travel like 30%, 40%, or even 50%. Employers with multiple offices around the country or out of the country love to see this on an applicant's resume.
- Bilingual - If you speak a second language other than English, say so. Again, this keyword / attention grabber is great to place on your resume especially if the company is international. For example, put "Bilingual / fluent in Portuguese." If you read and write that second language that is most certainly a plus. In today's world, being bilingual is an asset. Learn a language that is associated with a growing economy. Being bilingual also may open up more employment opportunities. Employers whose employees predominantly speak a certain language is common place.
- Non - Smoker - WOW! this is really not playing fair, but so what. By placing these keywords on your resume you are sending a subliminal message to the employer that you are a low health risk. Studies show that employees who are not that healthy can cost their employers more money in health benefits than employees who are healthy. Employees who are healthy have less medical issues and therefore make less doctor's visits.
- Dual Specialties - Companies are looking to do more with less, so if you have "the more" that is great. Dual Specialties is wearing two hats. I work in the Quality Assurance field and write food safety programs and audit food manufacturers, but I also have my hands in Environmental Health & Safety. My resume is a compilation of two positions. Being able to wear multiple hats also allows an employee to command more money. Employers are willing to pay a little more for an employee who can wear multiple hats.
Put these 5 keywords and/or phrases at the top corners of your resume so they stand out. Think about what will grab employers' attention and put those attention grabbers on your resume. Other attention grabbers are:
- Willing to Cross-train
- Certifications instead of using the word Proficient
- Hardware Packages, e.g., computer, electrical, etc.
- Software Packages, e.g., DreamWeaver, Microsoft Office Suite, CAD (Computer Aided Drafting), Adobe PhotoShop, etc.
- Willing to reside overseas

Important new research on payday loans
February 18, 2008
Paige Skiba (Vanderbilt Law School) and Jeremy Tobacman (Oxford), "The Profitability of Payday Loans":
Payday loans provide households with expensive, short-term liquidity. This paper studies the profitability of payday lending using standard .nancial data from CRSP and SEC filings and loan-level data from a payday lender. Despite charging e¤ective annualized rates of many percent, we find lenders' firm-level returns differ little from typical financial returns. The data are consistent with an interpretation that payday lenders face high per-loan and per-store fixed costs in a competitive market.
I'd bet a similar analysis applies to the rent-to-own industry.

What's in a Name
This project began in conversation between our co-directors Ernest Morrell and Ansley Erickson in 2012. At that time, we chose "Educating Harlem" as our name. We selected it for the ways it affirms the work of Harlem residents past and present in educating their children and community. This affirmation felt especially important amidst still-powerful historical and contemporary narratives of deficit in urban and Black education.
The name fit well for some initial aspects of our work, including as the working title of an edited volume of essays on Harlem's 20th century educational history. On the cover of a history book, it was clear that we intended to depict the actions and interests of Harlem residents in shaping education there.
Our work has evolved beyond the edited volume to include more collaborative and public history work. In that process, we've heard concerns from multiple partners and community members that the name rang differently for them. Given the fraught history of Columbia's relationship with Harlem, and the community's decades-long experience of being acted upon disrespectfully by the university and others, the name felt off-putting or presumptuous. It seemed to imply that Teachers College or Columbia was the subject, Harlem the object. That is just the sense of hierarchy and disrespect we want to work against.
Thus, we needed a new name. We collected suggestions from community partners in our Wadleigh history work, and from colleagues at TC and Columbia and other local history institutions. We circulated a few possibilities, and with the guidance of feedback on these we chose Harlem Education History Project.
The first three words capture the core elements of this project on the history of education in Harlem, across time periods, modes, voices, and interpretations.
Why "project"? Because we want to signal ongoing work in progress, rather than a fixed body of knowledge or a finished product.
Why not "collaborative"? Many people suggested that we include the word collaborative in the title. We are committed to working collaboratively, but we also recognize that earlier phases of the project have developed collaboratively within the university but not between the university and community members. As our work becomes more collaborative with a greater range of partners, we think of collaboration as something we will constantly striving for rather than as a state we can declare ourselves to have achieved.
The Educating Harlem name will live on in the URL of this website and in earlier iterations of project documentation, publications, and posters. It is part of our project history, and an artifact of the project's development and learning over time.
We hope that our new name can be an umbrella under which exciting and just work can develop, for fostering knowledge about the past as well as thinking about the present.
Ansley Erickson, Co-Director
April 2018
