7th US Army Aviation Battalion DUI insignia pin. Has the motto "Lucky Seven". Estate purchase.
This 7th U.S. Army Aviation Battalion DUI insignia pin is from a large collection of pins that I purchased at an estate sale. The previous owner was an avid military memorabilia collector. His main focus was on items from WWII and Vietnam, but would also pick up items from other time frames if they were rare or unusual.
The pin is attached to a small thin cardboard square. Any writing on the cardboard was put there by the previous owner and that's great because I can't imagine how long it would take me to look up and obtain information on over 700 pins. I'm using his information. He was the expert, so the information should be correct.
I don't know the exact date on this pin but according to the U.S. Military Metals website, this design was approved in 1963 so it should be Vietnam time frame. The two color split represents day and night activity. The motto on the pin is "Lucky Seven". It measures about 1 inches side to side by 1.25 inches top to bottom. It is enameled. It has a double clutch holder on back.
There are some faint scratches and you should be able to see them in my photo, but you have to look at the pin on a sideways angle to see them.
Although small, when wrapped it will exceed the postal limit of one quarter of an inch for normal envelope mailing. Delivery will be via USPS First Class Mail Package. Buyer to pay delivery charges of $4.15.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can safely fit into a single box. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
Also, every January the postal service increases shipping charges. According to the notices received regarding the upcoming price increase, it will be quite steep with some package categories adding over a dollar on to an already high shipping charge. I try to absorb some of the new charges but that's getting harder with each increase.
International shipping charges will also take a tremendous leap. International shipping will now depend on the country. Buyer must contact seller for international shipping charges before making a purchase. Seller reserves the right to void any international transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.

what is the difference between bottom up estimation and parametric estimation.
One obvious difference is that parametric est. depends of historical information, anything more....
Could anyone clarify ?
Tue, 08/31/2010 - 04:23
That is the key difference.
That is the key difference. Bottom up estimation is when you estimate for each work package and then roll up to get final estimate. In parametric estimation you check for historical records to see that a project of X size took Y Months. So project of 2X size would take 2Y months. Calculation may not necessarily be linear, it can be any extrapolation
However the key confustion is between parameteric and analogus estimate. In Parametric estimation , historical data is used for extrapolating or calculating, in analogus estimate its more of judgement call based on similar projects done in past.

Previously we mentioned about Witstech A81 Arm Cortex-A8 based dual boot tablet PC based on Android and WinCE, but in case you are looking for true Windows Operating System while still maintaining Android OS, the newly announced tablet PC from ViewSonic may be your great alternative. Named as ViewPad 10, the machine will be powered by Intel processor (not finalized yet but likelihood will be thermally efficient Atom family) with 10-inch display featuring dual boot capability and other feature sets.
Unlike its sibling model, a 7-inch ViewPad 7 that is powered by ARM processor running on Android OS only, the newly announced ViewPad 10 has been enlarged in terms of display size to complete against Apple's iPad and at the same time, it has been preloaded with both Microsoft and Android OS for greater usability. Not to be limited to Windows CE but rather a much preferred Windows 7 or Windows XP embedded OS (thanks to its X86 based architecture), it will definitely able to attract users especially those that would like to experience dual boot system with different user interface and running apps. Other specifications include 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, front and back camera, MicroSD card slot, USB ports and many more.
No pricing and availability yet, the ViewPad models will be showcased at IFA 2010 event held in Berlin by next week.

Saint Faustina Kowalska
Saint Faustina was born Helena Kowalska in a small village in Poland in 1905. When she was almost twenty, she entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, whose members devote themselves to the care and education of troubled young women. On February 22, 1931, Jesus appeared to her as the "King of Divine Mercy" wearing a white garment, with rays of white and red light emanating from near his heart. He told her to paint an image according to this pattern with the signature, "Jesus, I trust in You." Three years later the first artistic rendering of the image was performed.
On February 22, Jesus also told Faustina that he wanted the Divine Mercy image to be "solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter; that Sunday is to be the Feast of Mercy." She was asked to become the apostle and secretary of God's mercy, a model of how to be merciful to others, and an instrument for re-emphasizing God's plan of mercy for the world.
In 1935 Faustina wrote of a vision about the Chaplet of Divine Mercy in her diary. The chaplet is about a third of the length of the Rosary. She wrote that the purpose for the chaplet's prayers for mercy are threefold: to obtain mercy, to trust in Christ's mercy, and to show mercy to others.
Saint Faustina suffered in secret, with only her spiritual director and some of her superiors aware that anything special was taking place in her life. She died in 1938 from tuberculosis. She was beatified on April 18, 1993 and canonized on April 30, 2000—the first saint in the 21st century.

Foot and mouth vaccination
Foot and Mouth vaccination – should we or shouldn't we?
When the foot-and-mouth outbreak occurred, independent vet consultant Tony Andrews told Farmers Weekly there were too many issues surrounding whether the government should implement a vaccination strategy.
Speaking this morning after the confirmation of a second outbreak in Surrey, he was adamant the government should still refrain from vaccination.
"Although we now know the strain and are 99.9% sure of the source, that being Pirbright, we don't know the relationship between the two," he explained.
"If we were looking at a further case found in the UK some distance from the Pirbright site and one that has no connection to Pirbight in the form of movements off the infected farms, then we could possibly be looking at a case for vaccination."
However, government must be completely aware of the implications a vaccination policy would have on our industry in terms of trading, exports and whether or not cattle would have to be killed after administration of the vaccine, he added.
"Government is often accused of hiding behind science, but in this instance vaccination decisions must be made on scientific fact, not politics or public perception."

On June 7, 2019 Off. Rothermel took a report for Threats that had occurred over the phone. The victim reported that her ex-boyfriend, John Lugo II, threatened to kill her and her current boyfriend. Lugo also made threats that he would shoot at the house where the victim currently resides. Based upon the information received from the victim, Off. Rothermel filed a Criminal Complaint against Lugo, charging him with Terroristic Threats (M1). A warrant was issued for Lugo's arrest.
On June 8, 2019 at approximately 0228 hrs. Off. Schaeffer and Off. Conard were on patrol. They observed a black BMW where the driver committed several summary violations. A check of the vehicle registration showed that the BMW was registered to Lugo. The Officers made a traffic stop at the intersection of S. Prince St. and W. Vine St.
Once the Officers had confirmation that the warrant was valid and was on file at the station they went to remove Lugo from the vehicle. Lugo restarted his vehicle and fled from the Officers in the vehicle. The Officers returned to their vehicle and attempted to locate Lugo but he eluded capture. Officers went to Lugo's address and located the vehicle. They checked inside the residence but Lugo was not there.
Off. Schaeffer returned to the station and prepared a Criminal Complaint against Lugo. He was charged with Escape (M2), Noise Ordinance (S), Driving at Safe Speeds (S) and Window Tint Violation (S). A warrant was issued for Lugo for those charges.
Anyone with information on Lugo's current location is asked to contact Lancaster Bureau of Police at 717-735-3301 or Lancaster Crime Stoppers at (800) 322-1913, or you can anonymously Text a Tip to Crime Stoppers by using your cell phone.

My Review:
Playing for Keeps by Samantha Lind
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love, love, loved Richard and Maddy! Friends, then lovers, for years, they both hid their true feelings from each other, out of fear that it was one sided! So much time wasted!
Maddy is a sports agent, a strong, independent woman, in a male dominated field. She knows who she is and what she wants from life. But her love life is just…complicated! She and Richard have had a friends with benefits relationship for years, and she has slowly developed feelings for him. Feelings she thinks have no chance of being returned. She has lived in limbo for a long time, neither moving forward in her relationship, nor moving on to something else.
Richard is a professional hockey player. He has strong feelings for Maddy, wants more with her, wants everything with her, but will take whatever she will give him. He doesn't want to rock the boat, for fear that he will loose it all.
This story takes the friends to lovers theme to a whole new level! I love supportive Richard is when Maddy's life spirals out of control. They are so perfect for each other! I love how, even though this is a sports romance, that isn't the focus of the story. It's about romance, and how a real love is about support and family. And did I say that I love, love, love Richard and Maddy?!?

CCS adapting to COVID-19 realities to support Canadians during and after the pandemic
Questions to ask about follow-up
The following are questions that you can ask the healthcare team about follow-up after treatment for cancer. Choose the questions that fit your, or your child's, situation and add questions of your own. You may find it helpful to take the list to the next appointment and to write down the answers.
- What is the schedule for follow-up visits?
- How often is follow-up scheduled with the cancer specialist?
- Who is responsible for follow-up visits?
- What will happen at a follow-up visit?
- What tests are done on a regular basis? How often are they done?
- Are there any symptoms that should be reported right away? Who do I call?
- Who can help me, or my child, cope with long-term side effects of treatment?
What's the lifetime risk of getting cancer?
The latest Canadian Cancer Statistics report shows about half of Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

'They should say, irritation, not iteration,' exclaimed my husband as a voice on the wireless spoke about men's fashion and the promise of 'a new iteration of softer suiting'.
Suiting in itself is a comical word when found outside the technical pages of Tailor and Cutter. In that respect it belongs to the same family as trouserings, which P.G. Wodehouse (already convinced that trousers are inherently absurd) liked to deploy. Bertie Wooster often referred to evening-wear trouserings. Similarly, the determinedly humorous Owen Seaman, born over an artificial-flower shop, and editor of Punch from 1906 to 1932, cheered up a parody of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam with lines like 'We sit in sable Trouserings and Boots.' Quite separately the verb to trouser came to mean stowing profit, licit or not.
Nonetheless, my husband's gripe was with iteration. It should, by rights, mean 'repetition' but is now a fashionable word for 'version'. I rather think this came via computing, for there is in mathematics a method by which an approximation is fed back into an operation several times to produce an increasingly accurate result. Something similar is done in computer science.
So when a new machine is marketed in computing it is called an iteration, rather than a model. Even the Sun has come out with phrases like: 'Surface Pro 6, the latest iteration in Microsoft's productivity-oriented tablets.'
Previously the best known use of iteration had been in Henry IV Part I. Prince Hal says, 'Wisdom cries out in the streets and no man regards it'; to which Falstaff replies: 'O, thou hast damnable iteration, and art indeed able to corrupt a saint.' Dr Johnson noted that the Shakespearean critic William Warburton had changed the word iteration to attraction in his edition, but he commented: 'An editor is not always to change what he does not understand.' For himself, Johnson took it as meaning 'a wicked trick of repeating and applying holy tests'. That seems right.
I'm afraid that iteration has now escaped from the computer shops. I saw a reference recently to 'a new iteration of Daesh'. One seems as hard to extirpate as the other.

It would appear the only thing standing in the way of the Calder Trophy finding its way onto a mantle at the home of Evgeni Malkin (PIT) is voter sentiment. The point being, he may be the only rookie among the current NHL crop who may have to walk on water to earn the award after being anointed as an "automatic" for the award prior to the current season.
With the 2006-07 season in full swing, Malkin continues to be the frontrunner among many Hockey's Future staff writers. Behind the Russian-born forward, Anze Kopitar (LA) has put some space between himself and the rest of the pack with his strong play and offensive prowess. On our current list, seven of the 10 rookies are playing in the Western Conference. Three teams, Colorado, Pittsburgh and San Jose contributed two rookies each.
Following are the results of our January Calder staff poll.
1. Evgeni Malkin (PIT), C
6'4, 190 lbs. DOB: July 31, 1986
Acquired: 1st Round, 2nd Overall 2004
Malkin is the only rookie who has been able to maintain an offensive contribution of at least one point per game. He has scored 21goals and 20 assists in 38 games. Nine of his goals have come on the power play. He has played an average of 23 shifts per game, which translates into and average of 20:11 of ice time per game.
Malkin has established an ability to provide consistent offense. He often skates alongside Sidney Crosby or veteran Mark Recchi, providing a high-end offensive combination that has resulted in success and excitement across the league. The Penguins 'Wonder Kids', including forward Jordan Staal, contributed immediately out of the gate this season, resulting in some early-season promise. However, if the playoffs began today, the Pens would be on the outside looking in.
2. Anze Kopitar (LA), C
6'4, 220 lbs. DOB: August 24, 1987
Acquired: 1st Round, 11th Overall, 2005
The common sentiment among media wags is that Anze Kopitar is doing his thing with the Kings without any help. That being said, he is also toiling on a club that will struggle to play in the post-season. Without question, Kopitar brings a "feel-good story" to the NHL, emerging from the tiny nation of Slovenia.
Entering the 2006-07 season, there were questions as to where exactly he might fit in with the Kings after signing a three-year entry-level contract. His consistent play has cemented him a position on the club's top line and he will very likely become an important part of the Kings organization both on and off the ice for years to come. Through 45 games, Kopitar has scored 12 goals and added 27 assists. A durable centerman, he has appeared in every game this season, averaging 20:31 of ice time.
3. Wojtek Wolski (COL), LW
6'3, 202lbs. DOB: February 24, 1986
Acquired: 1st Round, 21st Overall 2004
Based on his outstanding offensive season in the OHL last year, Wojtek Wolski brought high expectations to the Avs this season. With an organization that no longer possesses a deep roster of offensive catalysts, Wolski has certainly picked up some of the scoring slack in Colorado.
Through 42 games, he has scored 15 goals and added 16 assists while averaging 14:48 minutes of ice time. Six goals have come on the power play. Along with fellow rookie Paul Stastny, the Avs have a potentially effective, long-term, offensive combination.
4. Paul Stastny (COL), C
6', 205 lbs. DOB: Dec. 27, 1985
Acquired: 2nd Round, 44th Overall 2005
Paul Stastny opened the season with a flurry in Colorado and has maintained a consistent contribution through 43 games to date. He has scored 11 goals and 22 assists while averaging 17:18 of ice time.
Since then, his production has remained consistent and his play in all situations is evident by comparing his average ice time in Colorado to that of Wolski. A determined, physical rookie, Stastny is a local favorite as well, having helped to deliver a NCAA championship to the University of Denver during his college days.
5. Dustin Penner (ANA), RW
6'4, 240 lbs. DOB: September 28, 1982
Acquired: Signed as Free Agent, May 2004
Through 46 games, Dustin Penner has made the most of his limited ice time on one of the NHL's top teams. The Ducks are a team on the rise this season, boasting some high-end veteran talent that sees the majority of ice time.
Penner, who has tallied 16 goals and 10 assists this season, has found his way onto the second-unit power play where he has chipped in with six goals. Size and maturity are strong suits for the 24-year-old Penner, who has made the most of his 14:24 average ice time.
6. Alexander Radulov (NAS), W
6'1, 190 lbs. DOB: July 5, 1986
Acquired: 1st Round, 15th Overall, 2004
Perhaps the most highly-touted rookie this season behind Malkin, Radulov has brought explosive offensive skills to the Nashville Predators organization. His numbers in the QMJHL last season were astronomical, including a 51-game scoring streak and a Memorial Cup Championship with the Quebec Remparts.
Through 31 games, Radulov has scored 11 goals and nine assists while playing an average of 10:26 per game. He's achieving a plus-9 ranking and has scored three game-winning goals. A left-handed shooter who plays right wing, Radulov spent a portion of the season in the AHL with the Milwaukee Admirals, scoring six goals and 12 assists in 10 games. With 11 goals in 45 shots, he leads all rookies in shooting percentage at 24.44 percent.
7. Jordan Staal (PIT), C
6'4, 220 lbs. DOB: Sept. 10, 1988
Acquired: 1st Round, 2nd Overall 2006
Of the 155 NHL rookies who have made an appearance this season, only three have scored short-handed goals. Staal is the runaway leader among the group with five, four ahead of both Malkin and Karl Stewart (CHI).
According to Chuck Fletcher, the Penguins assistant general manager, "what he's been able to do as an 18 year old player in the NHL is phenomenal. He's a different type of player than Crosby and Malkin. He doesn't have all that flash and dash that they do but he's a big, strong player that's very smart, very good defensively particularly for an 18-year-old player. He's already been our top penalty killer."
Through 42 games, Stall has scored 13 goals and four assists. He plays an average of 13:51 per game and is among the rookie leaders with a plus-8 ranking.
8. Matt Carle (SJ), D
6', 190 lbs. DOB: September 25, 1984
Acquired: 2nd Rd, 47th Overall, 2003
A steady contributor on the backend in San Jose this season, Matt Carle was the most hyped defenseman entering the NHL rookie class at the outset of the current campaign. Mature and dependable, Carle has delivered a consistent first half for the Sharks.
Through 40 games this season, Carle has collected four goals and 18 assists. He has a plus-1 ranking. His average ice time has decreased over the past 25 games, from over 20 minutes to 18:55. The Anchorage, Alaska leads a strong rookie contingent in San Jose along with Joe Pavelski, Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Ryane Clowe.
9. Marc-Edouard Vlasic, (SJ), D
6'1. 186 lbs. DOB: March 30, 1987
Acquired: 2nd Round, 35th Overall 2005
A teammate of Radulov in Quebec last year during the Memorial Cup championship season, Marc-Edouard Vlasic has proven to be a durable rearguard so far as he has played in all but one of the Sharks 45 games to date.
He leads all rookies with an average of 21:34 of ice time per game. He has become a tremendous shot-blocking defenseman and a reliable penalty killer. Through 44 games, Vlasic has scored two goals and 11 assists and a plus-7 ranking.
10. Travis Zajac, (NJ), C
6'2. 200 lbs. DOB: May 13, 1985
Acquired: 1st Round, 20th Overall 2004
Through 43 games with the Devils this season, Zajac has scored eight goals and 15 assists, while averaging just 15:30 of ice time per outing. He missed a pair of games in late October with a hip injury.
At 21 years of age, Zajac is already a responsible defensive forward who continues to develop in the mold of prototypical Devils' forwards. Zajac is making tremendous progress below the radar in New Jersey, where his skill set and secondary scoring are reminiscent of a young John Madden. He provides offensive depth and is earning more and more opportunities to play on the second unit of the power play.

On Friday, January 31st, SA Theater Director Jenifer Cote set out with 11 students on what promised to be a weekend filled with excitement. This year, Sonoma Academy participated in the 58th Annual Lenaea Theatre Festival, a high school theatre competition in Folsom, California.
In the competition, high school theatre departments from all over California can enter into categories such as Duo Scenes, Monologues, and Musical Theatre. Cote was anxious to return for the second time, after the success of last year when Miles Levin and Grace Martin won a gold medal for their performance of a scene from the production of "Metamorphoses."
This year, Cote wanted to make sure that SA covered all the bases, and entered contestants into almost every available category at the festival.
"My goal for this year was to go back and just sort of get our hands wet in as many of the categories as possible," she said.
She brought with her eight actors, three singers, a director, and a set designer, hoping that SA would be well-represented and leave an impression. SA entered into the Monologue, Duo Scene, Musical Theatre, and (Student-Directed) One-Act categories.
Every day brought on fresh nerves, as SA competed in one or two of these categories each day. The weekend began with Musical Theatre, and ended with the Duo Scenes.
"I had a great time, and all the boys were very cute," said senior Riley Rose Smothers, who sang "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" from "Grease" for the Musical Theatre competition. "When we sang, it was good, and a little scary. But mostly, I had fun!"
Senior Alice Doyle and sophomore Jess O'Connor also competed in the Musical Theatre category. Senior Marshall McGraw and junior Grace Martin brought a duo scene, along with junior Logan Noel and senior Morgan Apostle.
On Saturday, SA competed for the first time in the One-Act category, with Tennessee Williams's "The Pretty Trap," student-directed by Alice Doyle. The one-act starred Marshall, Grace, senior Rachel Scherrer, and junior Jack Lasseter.
"My thoughts in the morning were, 'Alright, we got this!'" Rachel recalled. "My thoughts about half an hour before we went on were, 'Oh God, what are we doing now? What even is life?' And then, like, five minutes before the lights went up I was like, 'I hope I remember my lines.'"
She did more than remember her lines. The One-Act was a success, winning a bronze medal in its category, and Alice Doyle took home silver for her student direction.
"I'm so super proud of the students for bringing a student-directed one-act… A lot of teachers bring one-acts that they've directed, that they want to compete with, but I was proud that ours was a student-directed one-act… It was just as good as the ones that teachers directed, and that just shows that we have great talent across the board," said Cote.
On the final day, four actors from SA performed monologues: Rachel, Jess, Grace, and senior Robert Graham. It was in this category that SA scored highest of all. Rachel Scherrer won a gold medal for her performance of Claudia Shears's "Blown Sideways Through Life."
At the awards ceremony, she had to give a command performance of her piece, in front of all 58 schools that participated in the festival.
"I really enjoyed seeing everyone else's command performance," she said, "But I got up there and I was like, 'What am I doing? I don't know what I'm doing… Oh dear, I hope this goes well.' I honestly couldn't tell you how it went… Apparently it went well."
Jess O'Connor also received a bronze medal for her performance of a monologue, and Marshall and Grace received bronze medals for their performance of a scene.
"It was an amazing wonderful surprise," Cote said. "And I think it was so great to just keep hearing Sonoma Academy called over and over. It made me so happy."
She wasn't the only one who was impressed. One of the judges, Mark Manske, sent Cote an email, filled with praise for her students and for her.
Manske said, "You have instilled in them a wonderful openness and curiosity that is rare and beautiful. At any rate, you have inspired. I just wanted you to know that."
Cote hopes to return again next year with more entries into the categories of original play writing.
"I learn so much every time I go. It makes me want to go back next year stronger, because I'm sort of seeing how to be stronger there… I have a competitive spirit," she laughed.
Although competition is unavoidable, the goal of Lenaea, as their mission statement says, is, "To advance the education of high school theatre arts students by offering opportunities to strengthen, promote, and share artistic skills within an interactive and supportive educational environment."
Asked what the spirit of Lenaea meant to her, Cote said, "To me it's a celebration of high school theatre at its best… Gathering in that location with groups of people who love this as much as we do… Being there in that environment, in that energy, and experiencing what it feels like to be a part of something that feels so exciting and magical, it's amazing. I come back feeling more connected. It makes us feel like we're a part of something bigger."
"It means the world to me, honestly," Rachel said. "I like seeing theatre, I like seeing students do theatre, I like theatre people, I like everything about it. It's kind of a culmination and you get to see a lot of people doing the things they love to do, and the things they love to see, and it's just a nice atmosphere. Everyone likes to be there and wants to be there and it's not like an air of competition. We're all there to support each other, because we love this thing more than we love getting first place."

Karl Kallinger, a former board member of KMP, and TONERDUMPING have signed an agreement with Ninestar to market G&G Cartridges in the German market.
Karl Kallinger, the former board member of KMP and Managing Director of Pelikan Hardcopy Germany, becomes an advisor to the Berlin printer accessory retailer TONERDUMPING. They signed the exclusive retailer marketing agreement with Ninestar for the nationwide marketing of Ninestar's brand, G&G.
"For this goal, we need someone with rich experience and networking in the industry. That is why we are very glad and grateful to work with Karl Kallinger in the future. Hardly anyone knows the German printer accessories market as well as he does. With Ninestar and Karl Kallinger, we bring together the absolute top players in the industry," says TONERDUMPING CEO Daniel Orth.
Karl Kallinger was Managing Director of Pelikan Hardcopy Deutschland for ten years before joining KMP's board of directors. Under his leadership, both suppliers became leading brands in the German alternative printer accessories market. In the future, Kallinger will bring his experience to the exclusive partnership between TONERDUMPING and Ninestar.
"With the G&G brand, Ninestar has the best prerequisites in Germany's highly competitive market for printer accessories. Successfully creating this is another exciting challenge that I am very fond of," says Karl Kallinger.
Ninestar is the largest alternative ink and toner producer in the world. In Zhuhai, China, the factory can produce 20 million toner cartridges annually along with 100 million ink cartridges and 30 million ribbon cartridges. The Ninestar Group also owns the Static Control and Apex chiming systems, the printer manufacturer Pantum and, since 2016, Lexmark. Ninestar produces printer accessory products for many different trade brands. In the future, the Chinese will increasingly rely on the G&G brand. In Germany, TONERDUMPING will officially market the G&G brand as a distributor.
"We have been working with TONERDUMPING for a very long time, successfully and confidently. With many years of experience in various trading platforms, they are the ideal partner for us to make our brand known in Germany," says Oleg Zhao, Managing Director of Seine Holland B.V.
Since 2003, TONERDUMPING has been selling printer accessories through an online shop and in 22 stores in Berlin, Brandenburg and Hamburg. With an annual turnover of more than 10 million euros, the specialist belongs to the most important ink and toner dealers in Germany. In April 2017, the Computer-BILD awarded the TONERDUMPING online shop as a top Shop in the category "Office, Technology and Media".
TONERDUMPING Managing Director Friedbert Baer goes on to say, "We are not only convinced by the quality of inks and toners from Ninestar, we are also convinced by the professional approach and demeanour of the Chinese. We do not know any other alternative ink and toner manufacturer that has such a large development and patent department. We are sure that the cartridges with the penguins will soon convince many customers in Germany. "

The Delhi High Court today issued notice to the Centre on a PIL, seeking implementation of the 2010 National Road Safety Policy to ensure safety and welfare of road users.
A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana sought a reply from Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on the PIL filed by Rajiv Boolchand Jain.
Besides the Centre, the PIL has made National Highway Authority of India and Himachal Pradesh Public Works Department as parties.
"The Government of India should consider time-bound implementation of National Road Safety Policy, 2010 by establishing the National Road Safety Board and the National Road Safety fund," it said.
It has also sought a direction to the authorities to devise measures for effective implementation of the policy to ensure safety and security of road users especially rural folks who are not familiar with the traffic rules.

I have been
- busy (not quite a good excuse)
- lazy (sounds more like it)
In a week or so, Boy is moving to another state to start his studies in a college. Just when he has started making new friends and getting settled in his new surroundings here, he has to change and move to another state again. *LOL* Well.. that is part and parcel of life. Change is always good. We should always embrace change with an open heart.
3 years ago, i uprooted and moved back home to be with dad and Boy. Taking care of them as best i could or know how. It was quite an experience and a teenage kid does teach you loads of things.. hahhahahaa.. I tried to be more of a friend to him than to nag the life out of him. But waking him up in the morning to get to school was a chore. He could probably sleep through the loudest alarm clock. Even with 10 alarm clocks, i doubt he'll even hear one of them ringing.
Both Boy and i plus Dommy went back home last weekend to check on our home in Ipoh. The whole house was still intact. hehehehe The whole garden was quite a disaster.. hahahahhaa Overgrown grass, lot of leaves on the ground and dandelions which was lovely in a way. The rain has kept the garden nicely watered and most of the plants survived.
We went to the church to see mom. Poor mom haven't had a candle lit for her for weeks. The really nice old florist at the church had yellow orchids for us. He only charges peanuts for a bunch. It was nice to be home. To the familiar surroundings. To the quaint life of Ipoh.
On our way back to Kuala Lumpur on Sunday evening, it rained and rained. At one point, it rained so hard that i couldn't very well see the car in front of me. I really hate driving in the rain. Especially when i have precious cargo.
The storms can be pretty vicious. In my heart, i was going.. should i stop or should i go on ahead. With fear (yes.. i am a scardy cat), i moved on. I know my mom will keep me safe and get me to my destination.
In life, we will encounter many storms. Storms as in problems or storms as in the storm itself. If we keep on going and moving ahead, the storm will ease eventually.

Happy New Year and welcome to this, the eighth and final episode of my tutorial series, Sensors/MEMS Marketing: Oxymoron or Opportunity. In the approximately 20,000 words that have constituted these episodes to date from its inaugural episode which appeared on September 22, 2017, I have attempted to distill the key elements of marketing that need to be addressed by participants in the sensors/MEMS community who are responsible for the marketing function in their organization to enhance their organization's success.
This episode will provide insight into the frequently asked question, what are the similarities and differences between IC and Sensors/MEMS marketing strategies and tactics? The second part of the episode will provide a summary and conclusion to this tutorial series which, I would like to believe, has delivered valuable and practical insights from approximately 20 industry luminaries with an aggregated number of years of experience in the sensors/MEMS area approaching 500.
The previous seven episodes are as follows:
Episode 1: Listening to the Voice of the Customer
Episode 2: The Role of Marketing in the Funding Process
Episode 3: Is the "Shine" off of MEMS
Episode 4: Insider Tips for MEMS/Sensor Marketers
Episode 5: Putting the "s" back into MEMS
Episode 6: Marketing Research: Past Failures and Future Opportunities
Episode 7: Integrated Marketing Communications
If you have not had a chance to see the previous episodes listed above, they can also be accessed by going to www.rgrace.com/MEMS. Also of note, I will be making a presentation on this very topic in an upcoming webinar sponsored by Questex Media. The webinar will take place on February 13, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern at https://pages.questexnetwork.com/RogerGraceAssociates-Registration-021318.html?source=rogergrace
Perhaps an early "Valentine's Day present" for you? I hope that you can take advantage of this opportunity and join me. Also, you may wish to submit questions beforehand so I can make every attempt to address them during the webinar…Please send your questions to me at [email protected].
SENSORS/MEMS vs. IC MARKETING: SIMILARITIES AND DISSIMILARITIES
This is one of my most favorite topics from several perspectives…and especially since I have been engaged in both for many years. In my 35 plus years as a marketing consultant professional, I have been fortunate in experiencing the providing of marketing consulting services to clients in both the IC and sensors/MEMS areas and, as such, have a keen understanding of these similarities and differences. To begin, there is significant commonality of the basic processes to required create an IC and a MEMS. However, the big difference is, as we all know, most ICs work in one domain …i.e. exclusively electronic…i.e. electronic signal in…electronic signal out.
MEMS, although their name come from "Micro Electro Mechanical Systems" …in fact can work in multiple domains in addition to electro-mechanical including electro-optical, electro- acoustic, electro-chemical. As such…one of these signals in…and an electrical signal out. This, in my opinion, makes the application support necessary to create a sale much more complex and demanding versus that necessary of ICs. Having personally spent several years as an application engineer from my transition from microwave and RF circuit designer to a sensor/MEMS marketer, I have seen the added value to a successful sales process provided by a top -notch applications engineering team. This point has been frequently substantiated in the many market research projects for my many clients that I have conducted who wish to better understand the "unfulfilled needs of the customer" (addressed in a previous episode) and as a viable attribute to best differentiate their product/service offering from the competition.
The large discrepancy in the existence of standards constitutes another major difference. The Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) organization has fostered the creation of over 950 standards which address the IC industry. In stark contrast, the MEMS industry has approximately 10…. approximately two orders or magnitude less. Earlier in my career, I have personally contributed to the attempted creation of the development of MEMS standards by SEMI by attending many meetings and making contributions to the process. I believe that the absence or lack in adequate standards makes it much more difficult to sell and market MEMS and sensors. Especially in the areas of definitions, testing criteria and testing conditions that can be used by potential customers to conduct "apples-to-apples" comparisons of product specifications provided by different suppliers.
Considering this situation which poses a major detriment to successful commercialization, I have addressed the topic of MEMS standards (or lack thereof) as one of the 14 critical success factors in my annual MEMS Commercialization Report Card [1]. The results of the 2016 Report Card are provided in Fig. 1.
Additionally, the lack of significant roadmap development in the MEMS area versus the various IC industry roadmaps is also a problem in the marketing of MEMS. The Report Card has also addressed this issue [2] [3]. The lack of a detailed and credible roadmap does not provide the adequate support to product planners necessary for them to create their next generation(s) of offerings.
Finally, the number of internationally recognized market research organizations that track the IC market e.g. Gartner Research far exceeds the number that tracks the MEMS market. As a result, sensor and MEMS marketers have less of a choice in accessing important information. And as we have been told in Episode 7 by Steve Walsh and in Episode 6 by Janusz Bryzek, accurately determining market values for emerging markets poses serious challenges.
It is also of interest to know how many of the individuals who have contributed to these previous episodes and who have specifically contributed to this Episode 8 came from the IC industry earlier in their career. I believe in the early days of sensors/MEMS, the goal was to sell components…. like the IC industry. However, as we have address in Episode 5, we need to put the "S" back into MEMS and sell value added solutions…and not components.
Please find following the comments provided by my interviewees on the topic.
Brain Kinkade (Positive Impact) said…" The biggest difference is that MEMS/Sensor devices can require more application support. This could be from interface to the real world, analog circuit, digitization, compensation, and even packaging or environmental effects on results. But the sales process is similar and the first objective is a Design Win.
To get to a Design Win quickly, I recommend some radical modifications to some typical IC sales steps that should be embraced by sensor/MEMS marketers:
- There is no such thing as FREE Samples: To qualify for free samples, have OEMs provide a little information (i.e. application, testing/evaluation plan, potential production volume) and promise to provide their test results back. They might not know how to evaluate your sensor performance correctly. This effort will help you to help them.
- Don't Just Make a Reference Design: Do your customer's job; make a solution they could rebrand. You'll find out a lot trying to design a full solution with your MEMS/sensor device. Worst case, your customer has a concept prototype. Best case, you are selling millions of units quickly.
- Give Away information: You already know all the things required to make your MEMS/sensor work right. Document this information and freely provide it to potential OEMs. Don't make them sign an NDA and spend hours in meetings with your engineers.
Paul Pickering (Micralyne) said…" As the MEMS/Sensor industry matures, I do see a convergence with the Global Semiconductor and IC markets. Sensors and ICs are entities that share a common heritage and have a co-dependency in most applications. It is inevitable that they will eventually be indistinguishable in the marketplace and fall under a generic label of "electronic components". But as of today, sensors are tracking a good 30 years behind the IC market and they will not catch up soon. I believe there is much to be gained from modeling certain market approaches after the semiconductor industry. In my view, the foremost challenge in the MEMS/Sensor industry is the tenancy to develop a single sensor for specific application. We all know that creating a new sensor from scratch for each application will limit growth and prevent the industry from moving beyond niche applications. This is very like the problem that the Micro-controller market faced in the early 1980's. At that time, the market had numerous companies creating small 4bit and 8bit controllers for specific applications. Microchip saw the opportunity to create families of micro-controllers that were easily configurable. This approach leads to a revolution in the industry that resulted in the high volume, low cost micro-controllers that found in everything from toys to medical equipment. Today, we can see some similar approaches emerging at sensor companies. From a marketing perspective, the most successful sensor companies are providing sensor platforms that are easily configurable and can address an array of applications. To expand on this thought, I would add that the configurable components of the platform are the drivers, software and the hardware. In this case, the platform might have a dozen different sensor devices for various applications that plug into a common IC system that leverages a similar code base and offers additional ways to fine tune and configure the sensor application. This approach tends to complicate the product definition for the marketing team, but it should payback in terms of widening the available market and scaling the initial investment across numerous industries".
Janusz Bryzek (eXo Imaging) said…" the major differences in working with the IC market vs. the MEMS/sensors market …especially from a marketing perspective are the following:
- From a Traditional IC market perspective:
- Standard processes following Moore's law, with 10 nm nodes in production.
- Known process roadmaps.
- Excellent device modeling tools.
- Device cost defined by process node (wafer cost) and die size.
- Standard packaging.
- Standard test infrastructure.
- Excellent marketing reports.
- Mostly standard products.
- Market `$380B in 2017, growing 12%/yr. (www.statista.com) before printed IC disruption.
From a MEMs market perspective:
- No process standardization for mature products, emerging custom processes for new products, one product-one process.
- No process roadmaps.
- Limited device modeling tools, requiring prototyping to upgrade models.
- Wafer cost typically much higher than IC wafer cost.
- Custom packaging, one product-one package
- Custom test infrastructure.
- Reasonable marketing reports for existing products, poor for emerging products.
- Mostly custom products
- Market value for MEMS in 2017 is approximately 16 B (US) with a growth rate of approximately 14%."
Mark Laich (Laich Advisory Group) said…" The sales and support infrastructure and methodologies needed to be successful in the IC market vs. the MEMS market have many aspects in common. Both require a sales organization with a high level of technical acumen, support for reference designs via multiple industry partnerships, local sales presence (either direct or indirect), as well as distribution to support a wide geographical customer base.
In my experience, one of the major differences between these two industries is the time to market issue. The maturity of IC simulation tools enables much shorter design cycles compared to the MEMS industry. And this is exacerbated by the lack of standardization – the MEMS industry still needs to make considerable progress to achieve the efficient design and development model of the IC industry, which is enabled by widely available, production-worthy, licensable intellectual property. These issues put pressure on the MEMS sales organization to have strong relationships with the RIGHT customers and partners so that they can understand the design requirements in the coming two years. Another important difference between these two industries has been that the MEMS industry has failed to capitalize on the intellectual property which it puts into reference designs. MEMS companies often give this design knowledge away to close a design win with an important customer, which has led to the commoditization of many MEMS products".
David Mount (Ulvac) said…" There are several reasons why smaller (SPTS, EVG Group, etc.), rather than the larger (AMAT, LAM, Nikon, etc.) capital equipment manufacturers have a larger share of the MEMS equipment market. The MEMS market is much smaller than Semi, in both revenue volume and more importantly in wafer starts. The larger equipment companies are geared up for volume manufacturing driven by the enormous number of wafer-starts required by the large semiconductor manufacturers. Using Intel as an example, they operate 8-major manufacturing lines for their logic/microprocessor device products. They tend to need new equipment after about two technology nodes. As a reference, they have about 40- RIE etchers per manufacturing line. They also employ a copy exactly strategy for each manufacturing line, meaning that when they need new etching equipment there are potentially 320 etchers that will be required. At a selling price of about $3.0M per system is just about $1B in a potential order for some equipment company (just for etchers). Consider that Samsung, Micron, TSMC, GF, UMC, ST Microelectronics, etc., have similar product volume requirements. Only large, well-capitalized equipment companies can participate in this market. The smaller equipment manufacturers can play in the well in the MEMS market, where wafer-start volumes are considerably lower. The big equipment manufacturers have little interest in a market (MEMS) that has low volume potential, but requires a large/long process development cycle (that MEMS devices usually do). The smaller equipment companies can thrive in the MEMS market environment with little or no competition from the big players. Regarding the adage: Bigs sell to big and smalls sell to smalls".
Maryann Maher (SoftMEMS) said…" At first glance, it seems reasonable that the marketing of MEMS components would follow a similar evolution as IC components. Indeed, some MEMS components such as inertial sensors and pressure sensors are marketed with data sheets, and marketed through distribution networks as are IC components or marketed through the same channels as are macro scale sensors. However, due to the lack of standards, reference designs, and similar descriptions (such as SPICE models)-MEMS components typically cannot be marketed in the same manner as IC components. As a result, the marketing and sales cycles are more complex and require longer engagement times. Another complicating factor is that the method for making the MEMS may affect its performance, reliability and failure mechanisms. For example, capacitive microphones will perform differently than piezo-electric ones and an optical gyro will be very different than a mechanical gyro. In addition, combo-sensors may combine several different sensors leading to additional market complexities. Finally, some MEMS sensors are sold into emerging or developing markets where the approaches used to market IC devices just cannot be used and a custom marketing approach is warranted".
In the previous seven episodes of this tutorial, I have attempted to address many of the topics (from a marketing perspective) which I believe have deterred the sensors/MEMS industry to achieve its full commercialization potential. Marketing plays critical roles in the sensors/MEMS technology commercialization process model. In the front end, it provides assistance in product definition, competitive analysis and internal competencies assessment. In the back end, it provides the vehicles to effectively position, brand and promote the product (see figure 2).
My annual MEMS Industry Commercialization Report Card, which made its first appearance in 1998, attempted to provide some possible rationale as to the inequity of the level of success of the MEMS industry versus that of the IC industry, both of which started in the 1950's. However, the IC industry annual sales for 2017 is expected to be approximately $380 B (US) and the sales of the MEMS industry to be approximately $16 B (US). This constitutes an alarming 22.4:1 ratio. Out of the 14 topics addressed in the Report Card, Marketing (see figure 3) and Market Research (see figure 4) and were critical elements which I believe have been comprehensively addressed in this and in previous episodes.
The following are what I deem to be the major "take-aways" of the tutorial series:
Listening to the Voice of the Customer (Episode 1)
Sensor/MEMS suppliers must listen to the voice of the customer in developing new products /services and not adopt the…" build it and they shall come" attitude. This concept could possibly be counter to the mentality of the design team. This can be accomplished by undertaking a rigorous market research program…either internally or vis-à-vis the use of a competent market research firm such as Roger Grace Associates who is familiar with the technology and applications. As previously quoted by Tom Peters, from his book …In Search of Excellence in Episode 6…" the best market research is done with real products with real customers". My experience has unequivocally shown that this can be best accomplished by interviews on the phone or more preferably in-person at technical conferences.
The Role of Marketing in the Funding Process (Episode 2)
The ability to successfully promote the sensors/MEMS organization to the investing audiences is a key element in creating interest and excitement in the market and moreover increasing expected future valuation from investors.
Is the "Shine" off MEMS (Episode 3)
As MEMS mature, enlightened engineers do not look at them as the end- all and be- all of sensors. MEMS, or for that matter, any other technology must be addressed as a valuable tool in the design engineers' toolbox and compared with other technologies in its ultimate selection in providing the optimum functionality or functionalities to a solution to an application opportunity.
Insider Tips for MEMS/Sensor Marketers (Episode 4)
I believe that people and organizations in the MEMS/sensors area have historically been technology push versus application pull believers…and the good news is that this is changing at an accelerated rate. It is all about customer benefits derived from product features….and how best to help the customer make the very best product for the lowest cost…and to differentiate your product/service from your competitors'. Enlightened marketers will use the tools mentioned in Episode 7…" Integrated Marketing Communications" to accomplish this objective. Additionally, I believe that the ever-increasing popularity and use of social media from a LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and other social network vehicles is a sound one that needs to be exploited. Also, the use of webinars is gaining popularity. The name of the game is to educate the customer…an educated customer is a good customer…and I believe that webinars and white papers do this best. The opinions of the interviewees correlated highly with mine.
Putting the "s" back into MEMS (Episode 5)
Sensors/MEMS are, by necessity, finally becoming systems i.e. microelectromechanical SYSTEMS i.e. MEMS. The basic sensor/MEMS element/function must be supplemented by signal conditioning (frequently accomplished by an ASDIC) as well as with additional functionalities including power, power management, security, communications. In addition, it is becoming most critical for the system functionalities to be judiciously interconnected and packaged in highly robust and cost-conscious packaging (see figure 5).
Marketing Research: Past Failures and Future Opportunities (Episode 6)
Market research was a highly contested topic. The consensus of opinion was that existing market research on sensors/MEMS simply is an extrapolation of previous data and cannot successfully address the nuances associated with disruptive markets where many of the applications are major opportunities for sensors/MEMS
Integrated Marketing Communications (Episode 7)
In my opinion, the development and execution of a well-planned and funded integrated marketing communications program is a highly leveraged and underutilized tool in the marketers' tool kit. It is to be considered a "secret weapon" since many organizations tend not to embrace it. I have personally helped plan and orchestrate many successful product launches and several company acquisitions with major success and enhanced value vis-s-a-vis the use of this tool. I have especially found public relations and trade shows to provide the highest ROI of all the tools available. Trade shows especially provide the opportunity to meet with potential customers and additionally…make presentations, launch new products and meet with influential editors and plan feature stories promoting the company's technology and applications of its products. Trade shows also offer a highly leveraged approach to conduct market research.
It certainly has been an honor and a distinct pleasure to have the opportunity to share my, and my esteemed colleagues', thoughts and opinions on sensors/MEMS marketing with you. My sincere thanks go to my colleagues at Questex Media, Ms. Charlene Soucy, Marketing Director for her continuing valuable support throughout the development process of this tutorial project and to Mr. Mat Dirjish, executive editor of Sensors Online Weekly, for his valuable assistance in encouraging the creation of and the publishing of these episodes.
In this eighth episode tutorial series, I have attempted to inform, educate and indulge the readership as to the significant opportunities that exist with the embracing of marketing as it relates to the sensors/MEMS market. I would like to think that this tutorial series will facilitate a positive transformative effect on sensors/MEMS executives and practitioners on the topic and practice of marketing… moving from an oxymoron to an opportunity. Carpe diem!!!!

As a consumer, you can now look forward to a wide range of loans. The selection seems almost unlimited, because the offers prove to be extremely diverse. Many institutes today have focused on consumer credit for private customers and offer special credit products for certain purposes.
The high level of competition among providers creates both advantages and disadvantages for the consumer. The high supply has a particularly advantageous effect on the conditions, especially the interest. A major disadvantage is the comparability. The high number of loan offers makes comparison extremely difficult, so that today a comparison can hardly be realized without tools. If you want to find a loan with little interest, a comparison on the Internet is absolutely necessary, numerous financial portals offer themselves for the targeted comparison of several institutions and offers.
Getting credit with little interest – important criteria
Many providers today lure with a low effective interest rate. This effective interest rate seems incredibly low at first, but this rate is also tied to certain conditions. A flawless credit rating is required if you want to claim the cheapest interest rate, both the Credit Bureau information and the salary are extremely important. Of course, other factors such as the purpose and the loan amount also play a decisive role.
High loan amounts always pose a high risk for the banks, which means that borrowers with a large amount of financing also have to factor in a higher interest rate. After all, the runtime is also of crucial importance. Customers who opt for a long term have to expect higher costs because the loan interest is determined by the remaining debt. If the remaining debt decreases more slowly, as is the case with long terms, the loan costs are consequently also higher.
Compare loan with little interest
Before concluding the contract, it is essential to make a comparison on the Internet. The comparison can now be carried out on numerous financial portals on the Internet, loan calculators offer the possibility of an individual and accurate comparison.

Pierre Heisten is a One Young World Ambassador from South Africa who is passionate about finding ways to identify and unite that which drives every individual.
This week, the focus of the inaugural UN World Humanitarian Summit (WHS), held in Istanbul, was about finding ways the private sector can play a role in humanitarian relief. But as Alexander de Croo, Deputy Prime Minister of Belgium, succinctly said, "It is not giving that is the strength of the private sector; it is managing resources and risk."
Typically, in humanitarian projects, the private sector plays a role in logistics, communications, consulting or construction. Companies are simply service providers rather than invested partners.
Another area that is underutilized is the financial expertise of the private sector and its innovative models to manage debt, revenue and spending.
An example of such a model was launched at the WHS. Speaking on the panel, Deputy Prime Minister de Croo contributed his support for a new Humanitarian Impact Bond implemented by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The bond would allow private capital to support health programs of the ICRC in fragile and conflict-affected countries.
The mechanics of the bond are relatively simple. Whether it will work or not remains to be seen, and when asked whether this could be scaled up to assist other development funding, the Deputy Prime Minister said that the concept needs to be proven before it is rolled out any further.
The bond involves three parties: the social investors (private sector), the ICRC and outcome funders (typically charity foundations and government institutions).
The ICRC proposes a project that has easily quantifiable outcomes, such as providing prosthetic devices to victims of violence in Sudan. A time-scale for completion is set (for example, 3 or 5 years), and the parties agree on what a realistic outcome is for that time – let's say 5,000 prosthetics fitted.
The outcome funder is the party that will eventually pay for these prosthetics, but only once the project is complete. They will only pay for the actual outcome of the project.
To implement the project, the ICRC raises the entire funding for the 5,000 prosthetics from the social investor.
At the end of the set time period, if the ICRC does not reach their goal and fit less than 5,000 prosthetics, then the social investor loses. This is because they paid for all 5,000 devices while the outcome funder ends up paying an amount for less than 5,000 devices – this is the potential risk. If the ICRC exceeds its target, then the outcome funder is liable to pay for more than 5,000 devices, and the difference is earned by the social investor – this is the potential premium.
With this model, the ICRC is able to receive the entire budget for the project upfront instead of relying on annual donations, thus making planning easier and implementation more efficient.
The outcome funders carry no risk of project failure – they only donate funding for work that is completed and where impact is already achieved.
Assuming that the incentive for the social investor is purely financial, the return relative to risk of the Humanitarian Impact Bond has to be higher than standard government bonds. Given the current market, the ICRC would need to offer a return between 1 and 3 percent – depending on the investor's perception of the ICRC's ability to complete projects.
The fragility of the arrangement lies in how expectations are set and how they change over time. To attract investors, in this example, the ICRC needs to repetitively exceed their targets by 1 to 3 percent. But constantly exceeding targets means that achievable targets will be more accurately calculated, and the bond will lean towards a zero-return investment.
It may be enough for altruistic investors to accept a zero-return on average knowing that, without losing money, they have supported a humanitarian cause. But relying on altruism limits scope.
For the bond to sustainably attract private investors on financial grounds, the outcome funders will have to allow the ICRC to constantly set the arranged outcome of the project artificially lower than the expected outcome. This may work – the outcome funders are ultimately interested in impact and may be willing to accept the arranged premium as financing costs for the project.
Mixing incentives is like a conversation in two different languages – it can work, but only if the goals of the humanitarian sector can be translated into goals of the private sector.

History of Sterling Silver
Silver jewelry has been a staple in lives of mankind since humans discovered versatility of silver and many uses it has. Silver has been used for functional and aesthetic purposes. In times of old, silver was used to create flatware and armor to protect soldiers on their way into battle. Silver jewelry was later created and used by Phoenician and Egyptian citizens desiring attractive and convenient pieces to add to their jewelry collections. Over time silver has been used to create flatware, decorative art, coins, dental fillings, jewelry and more.
Silver is produced in many different areas, though highest concentrations of silver output come from Mexico and Peru.
One of reasons sterling silver jewelry is so popular is its affordability and versatility. Sterling silver can be crafted into many different jewelry items including charms, rings and chains. Silver jewelry is often mistaken for other more precious metals including white gold and platinum.
Common Types of Silver
There are many different types of silver that can be used to create sterling silver jewelry. Silver is considered one of precious metals along with its cousins gold, platinum and titanium.
Fine Silver - this is silver in its most natural state, when it is considered 99% pure. Often this type of silver is too soft to create ordinary products and is almost liquid in form. Usually silver has to be mixed with other metal alloys in order to create jewelry and household wear.
Sterling Silver - sterling is a mixture of fine silver and other metal alloys. The silver is considered about 92.5% pure. Sterling is usually combined with approximately 7.5% copper to make jewelry more long lasting and durable. Sterling silver jewelry is usually marked on inside with a "925", indicative of its purity. Sterling silver jewelry made of just right combination of silver and metal allows a jeweler to create a long lasting, durable piece that is shiny and brilliant enough to be mistaken for more expensive precious metals. Sterling silver is more likely to tarnish over time because of presence of copper; however this relatively mild side effect can be minimized through proper care. By consistently cleaning your silver jewelry you'll never even notice anything other than a beautiful shine and luster.
Silver Plating - plating occurs when a base metal such as nickel is covered with a layer of pure silver. This is often one of most durable forms of silver, and is usually much less expensive than sterling silver because percentage of pure silver in jewelry is quite low. Most base metals need a re-coat of pure silver every few years to maintain a shiny outer coat and to prevent base metal from peaking through coating.
Nickel Silver - nickel silver is a combination of nickel, copper and zinc that is not actually silver, but resembles silver. It is an inexpensive and popular item that can be used to create look-alike jewelry.
Vermeil - this form of silver was popular in eighteenth century. Silver is plated in gold, providing a polished and expensive looking custom piece of jewelry.
Caring for Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver jewelry does have a tendency to scratch more often than other metals, and may tarnish over time. Proper care can ensure however that jewelry remains shiny and well kept. The following tips will ensure that your sterling silver lasts a long time and maintains its luster and original appearance:
Silver has been used since ancient times, but has not survived as well as ancient gold because it tarnishes and decomposes. There have been times, however, when silver was in; we are going through such a vogue today.
Silver is commonest of precious metals. Fine silver is pure silver, which is seldom used for jewelry because it is too soft. Sterling silver is 925 parts silver to 75 of copper, alloy most often used. Silver weighs about half as much as gold, has greater flexibility, but is not as malleable, it has always been less expensive as well. A comparable piece of gold jewelry might cost four or five times that of a piece of sterling silver jewelry.
The current fashion trend toward black clothing has made silver jewelry more popular than ever. Silver likes to be worn; it stays cleaner & shinier through movement and friction. So sterling silver is a perfect accessory for todays fast paced lifestyles. Much like gold, sterling silver needs to be cleaned.
Here are Some Tips for Greater Enjoyment of your Sterling Silver Jewelry
·To avoid tarnishing, wrap silver in tissue paper and store in poly bags with anti-tarnish strips (UTL-46). Use polishing cloth (UTL-1) to buff silver. Anti-Tarnish polish (UTL-47) may be used. Cleaning dip (UTL-25) should only be used as a last resort. Do not dip pieces with stones; it may cause damage to stones. ·Minimize exposure of silver to perfumes, hair sprays or household cleaners. Avoid wearing silver in pools, hot tubes or ocean. ·Some people may cause silver in contact with their skin to turn black, which may be difficult to clean. Cleaning Tips

Made up of three days tough riding by daylight and at night, the 2016 edition was not without its difficulties, even for riders who had experience of the race in and around the city of Porto.
Alfredo Gomez successfully launched his bid with a solid win in the spectacular City Scramble Prologue in Porto on Friday night but Roman took him to task in Saturday's Time Trial and pushed him back to second overall. The various components of the competition scored cumulative points and Gomez was hoping to return the favor in the Night Race on Saturday. But this part of the competition proved to be more dramatic than organizers intended when some outside interference to the track markings resulted in many of the competitors getting lost.
Gomez's hopes of a comeback were raised when organizers scrapped the Night Race results for the Pro and Expert riders and he went into the third and final day hoping to claw back the time advantage from Roman. He knew if he was able to take the victory in the feature race the overall win was still his.
Roman was equally determined and he was fastest through the first series of slippery rider beds before Gomez grabbed the initiative and took control half way through the first lap on his new KTM 300 EXC. He then had to fight hard to maintain the advantage and while Gomez finally took the prize, Roman was a fierce opponent throughout the race. Third place went to South African rider Wade Young, who was competing in the Portuguese event for the first time. Germany's Philipp Scholz was fourth.
