Priority Issue 1 Together with Customers
KOSÉ creates beauty with the highest priority on safety and security.
Since its foundation in 1946, the KOSÉ Group has always placed the highest priority on providing cosmetics and services that satisfy customers by offering the best possible quality.
In providing such high-quality products and services, KOSÉ, with its focus on creating beauty, is committed to making safety and security its top priority so as to meet the beauty and health needs of its customers and help each one live a more fulfilling life.
Together with Customers (List of Action Goals)
To achieve the highest possible quality
Since its foundation, KOSÉ has focused its passion on producing the best cosmetic products through total quality management from the procurement of raw materials through to manufacturing. In line with the core message of the KOSÉ Quality Policy, established in 2010, which states that "Customer satisfaction is our priority," we are pursuing quality in both a broad and deep sense.
KOSÉ Quality Policy
"Customer satisfaction is our priority."
- KOSÉ offers good products with assured security and safety.
- KOSÉ pursues attractive products and the highest quality.
- KOSÉ provides accurate information to build relationships of trust with customers.
- KOSÉ listens to customers and uses their opinions to improve its products.
- KOSÉ complies with laws and regulations governing manufacturing and services.
To ensure user safety
Customers differ in the ways and settings in which they use cosmetics, which are applied directly to the skin. KOSÉ ensures the safety of its products by maintaining its own high safety standards for everything from raw ingredients to containers and packaging. We only provide products whose safety has been demonstrated at every step through repeated review and confirmation by the Quality Assurance Department and the Development Department. The final products undergo rigid testing under the various possible conditions that customers may use them and are put on the market only after their safety has been confirmed.
Quality assurance in the development process of new products sold by the KOSÉ Group
System to respond to customers in a genuine manner
The KOSÉ Group considers the starting point of its relationship with customers to be the time at which a product is manufactured. We keep samples of all products manufactured during the same period to continuously confirm their safety so that we can ensure quality. Our Customer Service Center, meanwhile, responds to customer inquiries and requests in a genuine manner and enters them into the Smile Data System as useful information. We promptly share the information in the data system throughout the company so that it may be used to improve product quality and services with the aim of enhancing customer satisfaction and trust.
KOSÉ Group Product Quality Assurance System
Response to unexpected events
If a quality-related problem caused by an unforeseen accident or other problem that may result in product liability claims or in which criminality may be involved is detected by any department of the KOSÉ Group, it is required to be reported immediately to the Quality Assurance Department. The Quality Assurance Department determines the level of seriousness of the incident in terms of product liability, health hazards, the possible spread of damage, and other factors. If the quality-related problem is determined to be serious, it is immediately reported to the Risk Management Office and necessary measures are taken on a company-wide basis, including at the executive level, to address the case.
To ensure better safety and quality
With the highest priority on safety, the KOSÉ Group develops cosmetics (including quasi-drugs) without conducting animal experiments.
We ensure the safety of cosmetic products according to our own standards, which are based on the huge amount of safety data that have been accumulated in the development of cosmetics to date. We also use alternative methods to animal testing and conduct various tests on humans to ensure safety. We, including our contracted testing facilities, will continue to develop non-animal-tested cosmetic products.
*This does not apply in cases where we have a safety obligation to conduct animal testing or where, as in the case of some countries, we are required to use animal models by a government agency.
The quality expected from cosmetics varies depending on the needs of customers, the advancement of science and technology, market factors, the social environment, and other factors. In order to foresee these trends and provide the desired quality, we actively undertake a wide variety of activities, including our involvement in the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Technical Committee on Cosmetics and the Health Labour Sciences Research on the Development of New Testing Methods for Safety Assessment.
Regarding the discontinuation of animal testing as an important task for the international community, KOSÉ has been engaged in the development of alternatives to animal experiments since the 1990s with the hope of achieving the discontinuation of animal testing at the earliest possible time. We will focus more efforts on developing and spreading alternative methods, including ongoing collaboration with the Japanese Society for Alternatives to Animal Experiments and active involvement in joint efforts with industry, academia and government agencies.
News releases related to the Japanese Society for Alternatives to Animal Experiments are shown below.
The 25th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Alternatives to Animal Experiments, news related to alternative skin irritancy tests(JP)
The 27th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Alternatives to Animal Experiments, news related to alternative skin sensitization tests(JP)
To meet and exceed the expectations of our customers
Our Customer Service Center aims to provide services that exceed our customers' expectations with the emphasis on "attentive listening," "empathy," "promptness," and "trust." To do this, we regularly conduct customer satisfaction surveys and provide Customer Service Center staff with training to improve their skills to meet customer expectations. In 2014, Customer Service Center staff participated in the Corporate Telephone Operator Contest in the Tokyo-Chuo Region sponsored by the Japan Telecom Users Association and received the Encouragement Award.
We have established a system to share the "knowledge of customer service" that has been accumulated at the Customer Service Center throughout the KOSÉ Group, including affiliate companies. Basic knowledge related to products, such as ingredients, effects, containers and quality, along with sample questions and answers, advertisement information, and other information is integrated in the system and shared among employees via the intranet website. This system helps employees provide satisfactory responses not only to inquiries and requests received by the Customer Service Center but also by retailers and other business partners.
System to gather opinions from an extensive range of customers in order to incorporate them in products and services
Customer opinions, which we consider a valuable resource, are shared in real time via the internal Smile Data System so that we can respond to them promptly. The Customer Service Center organizes and analyzes opinions received and regularly reports them in the form of the SMILE REPORT to the relevant departments. We use these opinion reports to improve our products and services to better satisfy our customers.
One such example is the change made to Hydro Renew Mist from the hair care brand Stephen Knoll. After the launch of the product, we made a minor change so that it can be sprayed by tilting the stopper at the top of the product instead of removing it. However, we received feedback that the stopper is hard to identify, because both the stopper and the part surrounding it are white. We therefore now use a different color for the stopper so that it can be easily identified visually. We also added a diagram showing how to remove the stopper.
Braille stickers available for free
"Braille stickers" on which a cosmetic product's name and instructions for its use are printed in Braille characters and large-font characters have recently been made available for visually impaired customers for free. These stickers can be placed on the container of individual products. Please contact KOSÉ's Customer Service Center to receive the stickers.
(Toll-free number:0120-526-311)
Use of Braille on the outer packaging of products
KOSÉ COSMEPORT CORPORATION has been promoting the adoption of universal design to make its cosmetic products more identifiable and usable. Their efforts include the use of Braille on the outside packaging of as many products as possible to make it easier for visually impaired customers to identify products.
Braille is currently used for major brands, such as softymo, SALON STYLE, and MOISTURE MILD, to provide information about the product type, such as "mousse," "facial cleansing," and "makeup removal." It is planned to use Braille on more product items in the future.
Color universal design for products
One of the universal design elements adopted by KOSÉ COSMEPORT CORPORATION is "color universal design" for partially color-blind people. This is currently adopted for products in the "SUNCUT" series, which received the Accessible Design Package Award in the Japan Packaging Contest 2009.

Newshan Spelling Variations
Newshan Spelling Variations
Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Newshan include Newsham, Newsam, Newsone, Newson, Newsholme, Newsun and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Newshan were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: James and Elizabeth Newsom, who came to Virginia in 1642; Leonard Newsham, who settled in Virginia in 1663; William Newsham, who came to Boston in 1680.

The Back Room Steakhouse Ratings and Reviews
Outstanding in every way. Steakhouse ambiance and delectable steaks/prime rib. Waiter was knowledgeable and fun. Wish the tables in the booths were a bit wider. We four gals had to lean forward or "scoot in" to eat our meal. Maybe optional back pillows for the women!
This used to be my "go to" favorite restaurant. Not sure what has happened with the quality of food. My last two visits to Back Room the food quality was poor. Cream of Spinach is Now spinach floating in warm milk. The filet used to be perfect as you could cut it with a fork. Not so anymore; over done and chewy. The risotto, absolutely no flavor. When served my entre, the food was barely warm. We asked the server if the recipe had changed. Her response was, "I think so." At this point I wanted to ask for the manager, but did not due to the special occasion. I did share my dissatisfaction with the server. She did nothing. I felt ignored. Definitely not worth $40 ++ for filet. We took our very best friends to celebrate birthdays. Set reservations up and added notes. Embarrassed as table not set for 4 but 2 and I had to tell our server why we were there. Nothing like feeling unvalued. Not sure if I will return. Very disappointing.
We arrived at the restaurant quite a bit before our 5:30 PM reservations; but, despite being early, we were seated immediately.
We tossed around some ideas for cocktails and wine, which delayed our ordering. But Brittany was incredibly patient and attentive and gave us time to formulate a plan. We settled on a Back Room Old Fashioned (with Luxardo cherries!) and a Fig & Berry Mule (a staff recommendation.) Our drinks tasted great!
For an appetizer, we went with the crab cakes. They were huge, tasty, crispy, and the remoulade sauce was delicious. They are very close to what I am used to getting in Maryland - yes, that good!
For our main course, we both opted for the Boneless Ribeye, medium rare. The steaks were cooked and seasoned perfectly, not a single complaint from either of us. We got two sides with each steak! My wife had the Asparagus and Risotto; and, I had the Creamed Spinach and Broccolini. The sides were done perfectly, just straight-up terrific food.
To go with our steaks, we had two glasses of wine. I ordered her the Burnside Meritage; and, I went with the Boneshaker Zinfandel from Lodi, CA. Her wine offered up some nice fruit up front, while mine was big, bold, spicey, and terrific with the well-marbled meat.
We split the Creme Brulee, which was the BEST presentation of the dish that we have had in more than 20 years. The caramelized sugar was crispy, and the custard was warmed through. It was an absolute delight to finish our meal with this dish.
The food was wonderfully cooked and had a nice presentation. Everything tasted uniquely special from start to finish. This is fine dining. It is a bonus that The Back Room is a local neighborhood restaurant. From the moment you enter the door you are treated as a special guest by the hostess, multiple servers, and are visited by the owner. This restaurant is excellent in every way.
Was excited. Our first time there. Everything was great until it took 1.5 hours to get our steaks. The place had almost emptied out. Waitress kept saying it was the next out....wrong. When we finally got it all we got was "sorry for the delay" from the owner. Really? Even one of the other wait staff (not ours) came over and chuckled saying "you finally got your food?" Steaks were warm but not hot. What started out great ended with a dud.
It started with excellent customer service... we were greeted with a friendly welcome. We had reservations and were seated right on time. The waitress was awesome! Friendly, funny, and well versed on the menu items. I had steak and my husband had lamb chops. Both were cooked to perfection. The sides were delicious, too. I would recommend the Backroom to everyone. Casual attire, but dressy is ok, too. A gem we were happy to find. We'll go back soon.
I had read reviews that it was the best Steak House in Central Florida and the reviews were right. The appetizers all the way to dessert, everything was wonderful.
The seating and décor was awesome and the staff was extremely helpful and very friendly.
Cant wait to go back!!!
One of my finest dining experiences ever. The service, atmosphere, Furnishings, steaks and food was fantastic. Lighting was a little bright though. I feel strongly that it should be turned down a couple notches. I cannot wait to return again and bring more family and friends.
This was probably my sixth time at the Back Room Steak House and it was just as enjoyable as the other five visits. It's pricey, but well worth the $$ in terms of being able to chat with your date and enjoy excellent food, good wine and friendly, professional service.
The food was excellent! We both had the Ribeye steak and it was very flavorful. Service started slow, but after that was very good. After checking out the rather pricey menu online ($36.00 Ribeye), we were expecting a somewhat hi-end dining experience for our anniversary. The ambiance was lacking for this occasion. It felt more like we were eating in a Chilis' restaurant.
The waitress was extremely loud. Felt like she was yelling at us while we were ordering. My father comment well now everyone in the restaurant knows what we ordered. The food looked and tasted awesome. The manager was nice and gave my parents a complimentary dessert since it was their 50 th wedding anniversary. Would recommend this place to friends for a special occassion. Just be prepared for a loud waitress.
This was my second visit first was much better
We went there as a family of 4 ordered 2 ribeye's medium rare came out medium and were a bit tough
my daughters filet was the highlight very good NY strip was just ok waited 55 minutes for the meals to come out or would have asked for 2 new ribeyes. Staff was friendly Ribeye quality was inconsistent with the ones that were great on our first visit
Upscale food in a non-pretentious atmosphere. The veal chop was marvelous as well as the pork chop. Next time, we must try one of their steaks. Garlic mashed was delicious and we were split on the non-traditional creamed spinach (it was wilted spinach in a thin cream sauce rather than thicker spinach with cheese in it). The desserts were wonderful - creme brulee and chocolate bourbon pecan pie with vanilla ice cream. The one light hanging over our booth was a little bright. The service was great and our server was very personable. Prices were reasonable for the quality of food. We will be going back!
The restaurant was very plain. There was no nice artwork no plants the bathroom was stark. There was no atmosphere. No visual impact. The manager was dressed in all black and he looked sad to be there. Our table was waited on by really nice people the servers were fantastic informative friendly and we got our food in a timely manner. The servers weren't dressed like an upper class restaurant that I was told this place was. My recommendation is there attire needs to be classier . Food was ok but not wonderful and nothing that would make me want to hurry back to it. I spent $400 plus at that restaurant next time I will drive further to get my moneys worth . I do believe though with a little bit of effort they could give that place A personality. If I hear it's been styled I will go back. Even though the food was mediocre atmosphere and visual impact are very important and I'd go back if it were redecorated.
Waitress was excellent .Steaks were of a high quality. Oysters Rockefeller were the worst I ever had anywhere , fried green tomatoes were overpriced for an appetizer three slices of tomatoes and goat cheese for $11. All sides were of small quantity even if you ordered an extra side. We were charged $4.50 as all sides are for three asparagus.
Very disappointed. Had confirmed reservations via email thru Open Table. My wife even confirmed in the afternoon, since it was my birthday. When we got there, there was NO record of our reservation. We were seated at a table with silverware for on!y one. Waiter didn't notice and I had to ask for silverware after my salad was delivered to the table. Food took an extremely long time to arrive after ordered. My steak was not served as I ordered (cooked too long) but didn't want to send it back because I was afraid I'd have to wait another 45 minutes. Since the expansion (multiple visits) service has gone down.
Magnificent. Nice place to go n try out steak. Quality steaks and service at reasonable price. We always get their boneless ribeye and they are grilled to perfection n taste amazing. On our last visit tried their short ribs spring rolls and it was just fantastic. We would love to try the other items on their menu but we love the ribeye so much that we just don't. Please don't waste your money on all those high end steak houses when u can get same quality steak and dining experience at almost half the price at Backroom. Cheers.

GoTandem Brings the Bible to You
I don't often write about products or services, but this is one that I really like and think a lot of people could benefit from.
If you're like many Christians these days, your life may be so hectic that you have trouble finding time to read your Bible.
We all know that's a must for a close relationship with God, but it's difficult when you have a job, school, kids, and other obligations that run you ragged.
GoTandem might just be the answer you need.
I heard an ad on my local Christian radio station about goTandem.
It is a free service that provides "spiritual interruptions" throughout your day.
When you join, you'll complete a questionnaire that helps personalize the experience around things that are important to you.
Then you can sign up for a variety of text, email, and even phone recordings that are sent to you throughout the day, at times you select.
The idea is to provide you with Bible verses and spiritual support personalized towards your life circumstances.
You even have the option of signing up for a weekly (or only a one-time) phone call from a live person who will encourage you and pray for you.
I signed up a week ago for several different subscriptions, and am very glad I did!
It's great to get an email or phone message with a Bible verse and short story that relates to things going on in my life.
These are definitely "spiritual interruptions", because they do exactly that….they interrupt you….when you aren't expecting it.
What better way to stop you in your tracks and force you to focus on God?
Most of us need that. More focus on God and less focus on the things around us.
And did I mention the service is FREE?
Below is a short video that tells you what goTandem is all about.
I encourage you to sign up today if you need help drawing closer to God.
You'll be glad you did!

Ekiti State Chapter of the Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP), loyal to the National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has said Governor Ayodele Fayose is free to leave the party.
The governor had repeatedly said he would leave the party if Sheriff won at the Supreme Court.
In the statement signed by the Deputy Chairman, Olasunkanmi Ogunbiyi; and secretary, Ilesanmi Obe, the faction warned that "the exit of Fayose from PDP will not adversely affect the fortunes of the party.
"All the ward, local government and state executives as well as the state's leadership caucus remain intact.
"Most of the elected and appointed officials at all levels of government have resolved to remain in PDP and are not following Fayose if he eventually defects again…
"All the 177 wards and 16 local governments still believe in the PDP as the party that delivered and performed best so far since the creation of Ekiti State.
"The incontrovertible fact is that on the two occasions he won the governorship elections, it was the PDP that provided the platform and opportunities for him.
"If he decides to leave PDP again, we shall not miss him, as the party remains strong and in fact under the able leadership of Chief Clement Awoyelu, the first state chairman of the party.
"When Fayose dumped the party in 2007, we went ahead to win the governorship election and all the nine National Assembly seats and 13 House of Assembly seats without him," the statement read.

Somehow it sold out by the time the release date rolled round but it has always held a special place in our hearts (when ever we spot one still in existence we get very excited).
On the 5th anniversary we thought it apt to ask (who else) Kieran Gabriel to re-illustrate the original photo. He of course did a wonderful job and we printed 100 of them on white soft style Gildan tees.Looking for something that's out of stock? Click here to get notified if it becomes available again.

Standards For Teachers
February 18, 1999
Education Secretary Richard Riley has proposed licensing teachers at three levels -- teachers who are new, those already teaching and teacher volunteers. While mandatory federal licensing probably isn't in the political cards, education experts say there is abundant evidence that the states need to do more to screen out the deadwood in classrooms.
- When Pennsylvania evaluated its teacher testing, it discovered that teachers could qualify for positions in hard-to-fill subjects just by signing their name.
- In Hawaii, half of new hires failed either to complete or pass certification exams.
- In Long Island, N.Y., a superintendent who decided to give teaching applicants an English test normally given to 11th-graders discovered that only one in four could pass.
- Among the 21 states using the Praxis I math test to screen teachers, most of them set "cut" scores so low that applicants could miss 40 percent of questions and still pass.
Experts note that superintendents and teaching colleges tend to concentrate on the art of teaching -- at the expense of knowledge of content. Forty-four states require teachers to pass pedagogy tests, but only 21 require content tests.
One study nearing completion at the Education Trust looks at those 21 states, comparing what high school students are supposed to know in math and English to what prospective teachers must know to pass certification tests. The two groups' test scores were about equal.

The new wave of value priced, private label, free-form PALs is already fueling a free-form free-for-all among labs. Just the other day I received a promotional e-mail from a lab touting its house brand as "the most affordable free-form progressive." This particular lens was being offered in standard plastic with a "premium" AR coating for as low as $65 wholesale. That's about half of what many labs charge for a name brand free-form PAL in standard or mid-index plastic. By comparison, a top-of-the-line, name brand free-form PAL and coating in a high-index material can wholesale for $150 to $250.
Although low prices are attractive, ECPs need to remember that not all free-form PALs are created equally. Digital designs range from atoric front surface to optimized to fully optimized with position of wear, wavefront, lifestyle or other biometric data. The quality of the design can also vary, depending on the ability of the lens designer.
Lens quality can also vary from lab to lab. A lot depends on how accurately the lab calibrates its surfacing equipment, and how it verifies the accuracy of the lens designs it is producing.
It's important to do your homework before selecting a free-form lens, whether it's a private label or a name brand. These products deliver some of the most advanced lens technology on the market, and can represent the best your practice or business can offer. Be sure to know what you're buying, and choose your brands carefully.

Green Bay Travel Blog› entry 1 of 2 › view all entries
October 18th, 2009 – by: sweetsummerdaiz
Green Bay is one of the oldest cities in the state and the third largest and along with the surrounding communities encompasses a population of about 300,000. This city started out as a fur trading hotbed and has transitioned from the papermill capital to an industry leader for medical care offering 4 state of the art hospitals and home to thousands of doctor specialists.
I have seen tremendous improvement and diversity over the last 14 years since I moved back here, thankfully.
An artists movement is trying to take hold here offering numerous tiny galleries for sculpture, photography, painters, weavers, and glass artisans.
After nearly 100 years of ignoring our vast waterfronts, we are finally getting with the program and clean up our water, our shores, and developing along the water to bring people to nature. Though out Department of Natural Resources is simply ridiculous in restrictions (they feel our water should remain unused like in the caveman days) the city is making progress in appreciating and restoring our water and beauty it brings.
Beginning a few years ago, the Tall Ship Challenge and Festival selected Green Bay as one of 4 Great Lakes Ports as a stop, the only one in the state. The magnificent festival occurs over 4 days and draws nearly 100,000 visitors. With 13 schooners in port the festival draws visitors from about 6 nearby states, as viewing and boarding the ships here to examine up close and personal is easy and uncrowded here. This festival is returning this summer in August of 2010. Put it on your calendar as a "must see" if you are a sailing fan, it is a spectacular and exciting event!

The S100 Corrosion protection is the advancement of the S 100 Motorcycle Total Cleaner. It protects all metal parts reliably against corrosion and even stops already existing corrosion. The improved lubricity provides a better corrosion protection even in confined spaces and folds.
It is better than wax, because it forms a "self-healing", transparent protective film that closes immediately after being touched. Therefore, it is perfectly suitable for the winter storage, because it lubricates and repels moisture.

This dish is in honour of St. David, the Welsh patron saint, whose life is celebrated on March 1. Welsh Caerphilly cheese is slightly salty, with a hard centre, and soft around the edges. Welsh miners would take it underground because the saltiness helped them retain water in the heat, and the hard rind was easy to hold and discard with dirty hands. Originally made with vegetarian rennet, much is now made with animal rennet, so check with your supplier. Good English cheddar is a great alternative. This sensational dish makes a robust first course or a side dish.
Servings: 4
6 leeks, white and light green part only
3 tablespoons butter
½ cup vegetable stock
½ cup whipping cream
1½ cups grated Caerphilly cheese
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
½ teaspoon chopped garlic
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Wash leeks well and slice into 1-inch rounds.
Preheat oven to 375F.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and sauté for about 2 minutes or until slightly tinged with brown. Add stock and cream, bring to a boil, cover, turn heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until leeks are softened.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer leeks to an ovenproof gratin dish. Sprinkle cheese over cooking liquid in skillet and cook over low heat for 1 minute, stirring, or until cheese has melted into sauce. Pour sauce over leeks.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add breadcrumbs and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes or until golden. Season with salt and stir in parsley. Sprinkle over top of leeks and bake for 15 minutes or until sauce is bubbling and top is golden.

Elite package is not all that they say it is. Somethings promised an elite package were not delivered. Activities team could get more involved with people at the resort. Poor service first night at restaurants after that service was great.

This resort was awesome. The rooms, food, drinks & staff were all great. The only tricky thing is the all-inclusive plans. There is all-inclusive, European Plan, and VIP plan. They will let you know if you order something that it is not included in your plan so there are no surprise charges on your bill. So far this is the best all inclusive resort we have stayed at. The beach is really nice too and all thought there are vendors they were not pushy at all. We spent a lot of time on the beach.

As a family of 4, we had an amazing time at el cid el Moro beach. When looking online, I was a bit confused at all the el cid locations there were. El Moro and el Castilla are right next to each other and connected. El granda is connected too, but on the other side of the street by a walkway (no beach). You can use any of the facilities at all hotels. Next time we wouldn't do the all-inclusive. The cabs are super inexpensive with lots of options for dining around. We were not impressed with the restaurants at any of the hotels, except for La Concha in el Moro. With the all inclusive you were given a certain men, where as people not doing all inclusive got a different menu. The pool was great at el Moro. The kids loved the "cliff" jumping. They had fun activities and crafts everyday. Get down there early to save your chair. They do go around and take pictures, and will remove your things if you haven't made an appearance in a certain length of time. Drinks were good. Kids loved the nonalcoholic versions. Beach was fantastic. The waves were awesome for body surfing. Go to Mega by cab and get a bogie board the first day. We would highly recommend this resort, just rethink the all-inclusive part.

Deadline for Applicants March 2018
Result of Outline Stage Announcement - end of May 2018
Full guidelines are on the British Academy's website.
The scheme opens on Flexi-Grant (the new online applications system) on 23rd August.
This scheme provides full funding for a three year full-time fellowship. Applicants must be within three years of the award of their doctorate and they must be a UK or EEA national, or have completed a doctorate at a UK university, or have a strong prior association with the UK academic community. The scheme is not open to applicants who hold or have held a permanent university post. The primary emphasis is on completion of a significant piece of publishable research. Applicants who wish to apply for this funding through the Oxford Law Faculty must secure the support of a senior member of the Faculty as a mentor/supervisor. While the fellowship funding will allow for independent research, both the funder and the Faculty require the Fellow to have a mentor to discuss project progress and wider academic life in general on a regular basis.
The application has a two-stage application process, round one has an October deadline and then some applicants are invited to submit a round two application in March. Successful applicants would start their fellowship the following September or October.
The Law Faculty is able to support applications to this scheme from legal researchers currently in Oxford, or elsewhere in the UK or outside the UK. Since all applications need to be supported by a senior member of the Faculty (a Professor or Associate Professor), potential applicants should first make contact with potential mentors. If this is not possible then the Research Facilitator, Karen Eveleigh, may be able to help to link applicants with mentors. Applicants should remember that it may be more difficult to make contact with potential mentors during the summer and so they should start this process as early as possible.
Workshops and briefings on this scheme are generally held in the early summer in the Law Faculty and in the Social Sciences Division.

The goal of green spaces is to prioritise parking for vehicles belonging to residents of the zone over vehicles coming in from outside. These zones fall within the scope of the comprehensive regulations in that the total parking needs of residents and visitors exceeds supply, generating certain types of conflict and congestion at certain hours.
All vehicles may park in these zones.
Vehicles belonging to authorised residents living in the zone shown on the sign must be identified when parking using the corresponding obligatory time ticket, this can have a duration of one day, one week or three months.

Clifford Chance and Linklaters have scored lead roles on Travis Perkins' £300m rights issue.
Linklaters advised builders merchant Travis Perkins on the deal, with London partners Nicola Mayo and Richard Godden leading the team from the magic circle firm.
Clifford Chance partners Simon Thomas and John Connolly advised the underwriters on the deal.
Clifford Chance has won roles on a number of recent rights issues. Partners Lee Coney and Chris Walton advised on Taylor Wimpey's £510m capital raising earlier this year, while Connolly and partner Adrian Cartwright advised on private equity house 3i's £700m deal, which was announced last week.
Thomas said: "What's interesting is that market practices are evolving. The market was very bad last year. There's been a reassessment of risk allocation between the issuers and the underwriters. These changes are just filtering through now."

Day 6. In which Clippy Mat celebrates her friend.
This is my friend Helen, taken way back when.
We call this picture, 'dancing queen, young and sweet only 17'.
A while back, when I first started blogging, I blogged about my f.o.t.h.s here
The friend of mine who I mentioned as having had a stroke is Helen.
Helen is exactly one day older than me, so i guess she has seniority.
I have to do what she tells me. :-))
She reads my blog regularly and always leaves a comment, which I love.
Helen and the rest of the f.o.t.h.s. Vee, Katie, Mary, Syd and yours truly email each other all of the time to keep up with our friendship of many years.
Before that we wrote letters.
By hand.
Imagine that!!
Helen cracks us up on a regular basis and always has something insightful and funny to say about the trials and tribulations of her recovery since her stroke.
The stroke was 4 years ago.
Before that Helen skied regularly and loved nothing more than to go flying in a microlight plane with her husband, John.
It's been a long road back and, she would tell you herself, she still has a long way to go.
But when her more able bodied friends, such as myself, cannot be bothered to get off their arses and do a bit of much needed exercise to stay healthy, where is Helen?
Why, she's at the gym, with her feet strapped to the exercise bike, or hooked up to the treadmill, and she's slogging her backside off trying to get back somewhere close to where she used to be.
She keeps on going and she's an inspiration to all of us.
Helen types with one hand now.
We met in secretarial college and we used to have fingers that flashed as they flew around the typewriter (before keyboards they had these things called typewriters)
We practiced to William Tell's Overture to increase our speed.
(I realize how much that dates me.)
It takes a lot of effort for her to write now but she does it.
Almost every day.
We love to hear about her antics in the gym and the people that she regularly works alongside.
Or the antics of her one of a kind mother.
I think Helen's writing is her lifeline.
I have said before that she should blog but she just feels like it would be a hassle for her right now, even tho' she would love to do it.
So I have become her Admin. Assistant and now Helen has her own blog.
I hope you will go and visit and leave her a message.
She will have lots of funny stories, some updates on her progress and some tales of her struggles.
I'll be posting for her but it's all her stuff.
Helen is in the UK by the way.
Just outside of Newcastle.
She'll be sending me regular emails and from those I'll be updating her blog until she feels confident enough to do it herself.
Whenever she is ready.
It will take her a while to get to know what to do, hey, I'm still learning, but I think she will get a lot out of blogging because she has so much of a story to tell.
I hope you will think so too.

Only just noticed your comments re quizzes. will send answers when I figure the best way. My wife is better than me on the technical side. See you blog daily. How on earth do you find the time. I've settled on twice weekly. Your blog is well done, I cringe at mine at times. Like the clarity of your photos. Which camera are you using.
The whole blogging thing interests me as I have something in mind in the new year. Have just learnt to list blogs so will put you on my list.Good luck to you
