NCR REA NEWS
FROM CHUCK, OUR PRES!
G reetings everyone! And welcome to our 2nd
Quarter newsletter for 2013. I hope this issue
finds you happy, healthy, and looking
forward to a great summer!
I’d like to get everyone geared up about our Annual
Meeting and Open House planned for Saturday,
September 7, 2013.
On pages 14 and 15, you’ll find the schedule and registration form. If you
plan on attending the event, we encourage you to register as soon as possible,
preferably before August 30, 2013. We will keep you apprised on the progress
of our various initiatives and activities.
And as always, we continue the very vital task of retaining your interest in
your NCR REA through our printed newsletters and directory, which can be
fairly expensive to publish. You can help us control these costs by signing up
to view the newsletters and directory from our website. Remember: The
printed directory is usually out-of-date shortly after it goes to press. Since we
update the online version monthly or as-needed, it is always current.
I want to close this letter with an expression of gratitude to my fellow
Trustees, our Administrator, Sue Schweitzer, our Newsletter Editor, Steve
Wicinski, and our new Webmaster, Lesley Baumann. Together, they are all
doing a great job of stepping up to the plate and trying to improve our product
for you--our valued members!
We hope to hear from you soon and look forward to receiving your
registrations for the Annual Meeting scheduled for September 7, 2013!
Sincerely,
Chuck Stuart

NCR IN THE NEWS . . . . .
PayPal strikes a deal with in-store tech company NCR
eBay's payment division PayPal will soon add deeper integration with retailers into
its digital wallet that will result in a richer shopping experiences from consumers'
phones thanks in part to a new partnership with point of sale company NCR.
The companies are teaming up to bring PayPal's digital wallet app into stores that
are already using NCR's self-service and promotion management technologies in
their retail locations. By combining efforts PayPal will be able to integrate its
payment service and app with technology that retailers are already using, opening
up many possibilities for interaction between merchants and customers directly in
stores.
What this means for consumers is that they will get richer experiences from their
digital wallet. For example, at a restaurant someone will be able to page a busy waiter directly from their smartphone instead of trying to
flag him down. And then they will be able to pay the bill directly from their PayPal digital wallet app on their smartphones. Or they will be
able to order an item from their phone or some other Web-connected device ahead of time, schedule a pick up time and skip the line to
pick up their items.
Jamba Juice is the first chain the company has announced that will use the order-ahead feature. Jamba Juice will allow customers to order
their shakes and drinks from a PayPal smartphone app and select a time for pick-up and pay for the shake right on their phones. When they
come to the store, they check-in via the app, skip the line, and pick up their drinks.
NCR's John Bruno said the possibilities to integrate and enhance the consumer experience while shopping or patronizing a restaurant, cafe,
movie theater or even gas station are endless. At a dinner with reporters on Monday, he described a scenario in which consumers could
preload their smartphones with a shopping list of grocery items and once in the store they could use their phones to scan the items to make
sure they are getting what's actually on the list.
Initially, PayPal's payment offering will be used within NCR's mobile apps, which are used in restaurants and some retailers. But eventually,
PayPal will integrate functionality enabled by NCR into the PayPal digital wallet app. And whenever customers "check-in" to an NCR-
customer restaurant, store, movie theater or gas station, the enhanced experience will be available.
The partnership with NCR not only adds opportunity for adding new functionality to PayPayl's digital wallet, but it will also likely help extend
the company's reach to more locations. NCR, which has been in business for 128 years, has a huge customer base in the restaurant and
hospitality market. It services 38 percent of the top 100 restaurant chains in the U.S. And it has deployed over 100,000 self check-out
kiosks in stores across the U.S.
Working with NCR will help PayPal bring these advanced services to more stores and more consumers faster, said PayPal vice president
Don Kingsborough. PayPal is already making strides in getting its solution into stores. On Monday, it announced that 23 national retailers
are now signed up to accept PayPal in their stores, including Abercrombie & Fitch, Barnes & Noble, Foot Locker and the Home Depot. And
the company said that its PayPal in-store payment methods are accepted at more than 18,000 physical retail locations.
Kingsborough said that what will set PayPal apart from competitors like Google Wallet and the wireless carriers' own version of a digital
wallet called Isis is the fact that the PayPal solution is offering advanced features and services that solve real problems for consumers and
merchants. And the company is going to roll out the services and advanced functionality on a large scale.
"While everyone else is in two or three cities, we will be launching our services at scale," he said. "We'll be in millions of locations in 2013,
while everyone else is still testing their services."
Kingsborough said that PayPal's partnership with Discover, which was announced last summer, will bring PayPal payments to 7 million retail
stores this spring. And once these stores can accept PayPal payments, the company's 55 million PayPal account holders will have access to
easy in-store payments using their existing PayPal digital wallet most places they shop.
"Our goal is to be everywhere people shop," he said. "We must be where the customers are. And that's what we'll be doing in 2013."

IT ’S BRAIN TEASER TIME
ALZHEIMER'S EYE TEST
Test Your Brain
This is really amazing.
First, count every letter "F" in the following text.
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.....
(SEE BELOW)
HOW MANY Fs did you find? Count them again.
Don’t peek at the next page until you think you’ve got it right.
NCR REA News Page 7
ALZHEIMER ’S EYE TEST ( C O N T I N U E D . . . )
WRONG. THERE ARE six Fs. No kidding! READ IT AGAIN ! The reasoning behind this is further down. The brain cannot process "OF."
F INISHED F ILES ARE THE RE SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI F IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.....
Is this cool or what? Anyone who immediately counts all six Fs on the first go is a genius.
Finding three Fs off the bat is normal; finding four is rare. Send this to your friends. It will drive them crazy and probably keep them occupied for a while!

This is a partial view of
the 1,543 leading NCR
salesmen who qualified for
the 1963 CPC in
Hollywood, FL. Back
then, this was the second
largest CPC in NCR’s
history, being exceeded
only by the 1,602-member
CPC club in 1960.
Included were:
Club President, E. L.
Dorsett, Jr., Manager
of the Salina, Kansas
branch office
185 first-time CPC honorees
6 master salesmen with over 30 CPCs
Courtesy of the Core Memory Project, http://www.thecorememory.com
Interesting tidbit: At that time, since 1906, when the first Domestic CPC club
was organized, only 5,387 different men had achieved membership. So this
1963 club represented more than a fourth of all the members who had ever
earned CPC membership.
