To the Editor:
Last month Connecticut became the first state in the nation to unanimously pass An Act Concerning Pollinator Health which, among other things, restricts the use of broad-spectrum pesticides called neonicotinoids (neonics).
Maryland followed quickly on Connecticut's heels, passing a similar bill that restricts their sale and bans their use by consumers. Across the nation, bee populations are declining at a precipitous rate, leading concerned citizens to call for a limit or ban on the use of neonics, a type of widely used pesticide that is absorbed into plant tissues. Neonics are one factor contributing to the alarming decline in pollinator numbers
Connecticut's new law, drafted by Sen. Clark Chapin and Rep. Craig Miner was written in response to the loss of 60% of the state's honeybees and a significant decline in a number of species of bumblebees in the state as well.
The Conservation Law Foundation praised Connecticut for it's forward thinking legislation that provides multifaceted benefits to all pollinators by not only restricting the use of Neonics but also directing the DOT to plant native pollinator habitats along the recently deforested highways and parkways.
Private companies have also started to take action to become more pollinator friendly by clearly labeling plants treated with neonics and reducing their use. BJ's Wholesale Club, Lowes, and Home Depot have all made commitments to pollinator health. They are requiring their vendors to stop using neonics or to clearly label products containing or treated with neonics. Most recently, Ortho, associated with Miracle-Gro, announced its decision to stop using the pesticide completely.
Now it is up to the local consumers to stop using these pesticides on our properties, typically used in backyards at higher doses than on agricultural lands. Check your sheds and garages for any products that contain the following chemical pesticides: Acetamiprid, Clothaindidin, Dinotefurian, Imidacloprid, Thiamethoxam. These sprays and granules, go by common names like Ortho Insect Killer, Bayer Advanced All-in-One, Green Light, Knockout, and Amdro to name a few.
Treatment of your neighbor's yard can kill the bees in your yard. Be a good neighbor and properly dispose of your own neonics and don't buy new ones. In the majority of the cases the insecticides are used when there is no insect problem at all. Unnecessary use of these products kills beneficial insects, which throws off the entire ecological balance of our landscape
This year, if you notice, the population of bees on our flowering plants and trees is shockingly low. I have a completely organic garden and I can count on one hand the number of pollinators I have seen so far this year. Many of my colleagues across the state are experiencing the same absence of bees in our gardens.
By planting native pollinator habitats and halting the use of these broad-spectrum insecticides we can hopefully correct this unintended consequence created by overuse of a product that was designed to be safer for humans and wildlife. We all must understand the unnecessary use of broad-spectrum pesticides impacts numerous species in the web of life. The lack of appropriate testing and regulation of these products prior to coming to market impacts every species and may take decades to correct, assuming the damage can be undone in our lifetime. All we can do it stop using them and hope for the best.

Chairwoman, Trumbull Conservation Commission

The post Boucher's response to mileage tax is a resounding 'no!' appeared first on Trumbull Times.]]>
State Senator Toni Boucher (R-26) is bracing for the reintroduction in the state legislature of a mileage tax — assessing every motorist in Connecticut for every mile they drive each year.
Boucher and Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano, a Republican from North Haven, issued a press release Monday, June 27, after a story published Saturday in the Washington Post reported the I-95 Corridor Coalition, to which Connecticut belongs, applied for a federal grant last month to launch a pilot program for the tax.
"If you thought the idea of tolls was unpopular, just wait until you try to tax Connecticut residents for every single mile they drive," Boucher said in the release.
"That tax will hit drivers every day. It will hit you everywhere you go, even if you are driving to a hospital emergency room. The state needs to prioritize how it spends taxpayers' money and direct that money to the right places, but the current leadership in Hartford has not shown the willingness to do that. I would also note that in the places where the mileage tax has been introduced, it has been highly unpopular and has received a stinging response from the public. Connecticut Republicans will be fighting this mileage tax idea until it stalls permanently, and we invite Connecticut motorists to join us," added Boucher, who is ranking member of the state's Transportation Committee.
A mileage tax was initially proposed in the legislature a year ago, and reappeared in January as part of a proposal to pay for the Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's $100 billion transportation plan.
The Washington Post story said Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire are looking at the mileage tax as an alternative to a gas tax and a federal grant would allow them to test the idea.
California's pilot program is set to get under way in July and Oregon has a volunteer program in place, the Post reported.
One of the hurdles to a mileage tax is how it would be calculated. Counting devices that can be plugged into a port on most cars, cellphone apps, and GPS devices were some of the possibilities mentioned as well as assessing an annual fee.
Oregon's voluntary program charges 1.5 cents per mile. For those who drive an average of 15,000 miles per year, that would amount to $225.

The post Connecticut still has the worst air pollution in the Northeast appeared first on Trumbull Times.]]>
Fairfield County is the 24th most ozone-polluted county in the United States, according to the American Lung Association's 2016 State of the Air report.
Although this is an improvement from last year, when the county ranked 19th most ozone-polluted in the nation, it still has the worst air pollution in the entire Northeast.
Nonetheless, Wilton resident and American Lung Association of the Northeast Board Chair-Elect Jonathon Rosen said he was shocked to see Fairfield County's failing grades and learn that it, once again, had the Northeast's worst air quality.
"No one would assume Fairfield County would have the worst air condition in the region," he told The Bulletin, "but the fact is that it illustrates that air pollution often travels long distances and settles over our area."
Rosen said air pollution levels are affected by locally produced air pollution — "from power plants hundreds of miles away" — as well as topography and weather patterns.
"It's really a combination of what's produced here locally and what we get as it travels from west to east," he said.
Although he does not know how long the county has had the Northeast's worst air quality, Rosen said, he does know that Fairfield County has failed the American Lung Association's ozone pollution test every year that it's done its State of the Air report, which is now in its 17th year.
For the 2016 report, the American Lung Association used data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Air Quality System to look at levels of ozone and particle pollution across the United States in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
According to this year's report, more than 52.1% of people in the United States live in counties that have "unhealthful levels of either ozone or particle pollution."
At-risk groups
Rosen, who joined the American Lung Association 35 years ago after losing his father to emphysema and his son being diagnosed with asthma as an infant, said everyone should care about the findings of the State of the Air report because "air quality affects everyone."
"There are certain populations like children, those with pre-existing respiratory conditions and seniors, who are especially vulnerable," said Rosen.
With 945,438 people living in Fairfield County as of 2014, that means "nearly 1 million are at risk for poor air quality" health problems, said Rosen.
"Over 223,000 of those are children and over 135,000 are 65 and older," he said. "These are at-risk populations when it comes to asthma and sensitivities to air quality."
People who have never had lung disease or breathing problems, Rosen said, "really don't spend a lot of time thinking about breathing."
However, "if you ask anyone suffering from asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema or chronic bronchitis if they think about breathing — especially on a bad air day," he said, "the answer will be a resounding 'yes.'"
Ozone, otherwise known as smog, is "one of the worst and most widespread air pollutants" that "irritates the lungs almost like a bad sunburn when inhaled," said Rosen.
Ozone aggressively attacks lung tissue by reacting chemically with it and can cause serious health problems, including:
According to the report, more than half the people in the United States — 51.1% of the population — live in areas with unhealthful levels of ozone — a 10.4% increase from last year's State of the Air report.
Not only did Fairfield County rank among the nation's most ozone-polluted counties, but compared to Connecticut's seven other counties, it had:
On orange days, according to Rosen, ozone pollution can cause serious health problems for people with lung disease, asthma, heart disease and diabetes, as well as the elderly and very young.
On red days, everyone may begin to feel symptoms of irritation and not breathe as well when spending time outdoors.
In the 2016 State of the Air report, all eight Connecticut counties received F grades for high-ozone days, meaning their residents are at risk for premature death, aggravated asthma, difficulty breathing, cardiovascular harm and lower birth weight.
Last year, six of the eight counties received F grades for high ozone days.
Particle pollution
According the report, particle pollution refers to a mix of tiny solid and liquid particles in the air that pose serious health threats, including the interference of lung growth and performance.
The EPA has concluded that fine particle pollution poses the following serious health threats:
The State of the Air Report examines areas' year-round particle pollution averages and levels over 24-hour periods of time. Fairfield County had the second-highest number of orange particle-pollution days (2) in the state between 2012 and 2014, receiving a grade of B.
According to the State of the Air Report, short-term increases in particle pollution have been linked to:
What can be done
Rosen said there are a number of things people can do to help improve Fairfield County's air quality.
"We need to continue to lessen the burden of unhealthy air for our residents. The best way to do that is to lessen ozone pollution, which means we need to lessen emissions through comprehensive legislation at every level," he said.
"It's time our state adopted a clean power plan to reduce harmful emissions from power plants, which worsen the climate change."
Most importantly, Rosen said, "we need every Connecticut resident to call their representatives and let them know that it's time to implement a real air quality strategy.
"It's time to get in touch with everyone who needs our vote and remind them that the quality of the air we breathe is very critical not only for our health, but for future employment," he said.
To protect themselves from health problems associated with bad air quality, Rosen said people can check the Air Quality Index at airnow.gov each day to help prepare them for the day ahead.

Pay £115 for an X-box box
More bizarre happenings down at the ol' e-bay ranch
Further evidence proving gamers to be nutjobs can be found at the e-home of the internet crazies, e-bay, where some loony is selling a limited crystal edition X-box box. Yes, just the box. For £115.
Right, it may well be rare (ish) and pretty-looking, but who in their right mind would pay £115 for a BOX. The answer is someone like echo910, who in the seller's feedback section complains about having just paid over 100 quid for the box. Well, those weren't his exact words. His exact words are "never buy anything from this f**king w**ker £120 for a box". Oh dear.
The seller claims that the box will make you the envy of geeks everywhere. Maybe he's on about lobotomised geeks (although you could argue those are the only ones who'd buy an X-box in the first place).µ

"Dr Doom" sees Iran-Israel clash, says buy precious metals
Written by Reuters, Wednesday, 07 March 2012
"Political risk was high six months ago and is higher now. I think sooner or later, the U.S. or Israel will strike Iran - it's almost inevitable," Faber, who publishes the widely read Gloom Boom and Doom Report, told Reuters on the sidelines of an investment conference.
Brent crude traded near $123 per barrel in volatile trade on Tuesday on fears of a disruption in Iranian supplies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed no signs of backing away from possible military action against Iran following a Monday meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama, Reuters reports.
"Say war breaks out in the Middle East or anywhere else, (U.S. Federal Reserve chairman) Mr Bernanke will just print even more money -- they have no option...they haven't got the money to finance a war," said Faber.
"You have to be in precious metals and equities... most wars and most social unrest haven't destroyed corporations - they usually survive," he said.
He said that Middle East markets had largely bottomed out, though regime changes from the Arab Spring revolutions were unlikely to be investor-friendly.
Faber said that in uncertain times, investors had to reconcile themselves to volatility.
"If you can't live with volatility, stay in bed," he said, pointing out that even cash.
The 66 year-old, who has earned the moniker "Dr Doom," earlier told the conference that the likelihood of war in the Middle East was boosted by Western powers' imperatives of keeping China in check, given its dependence on Middle Eastern oil.
"The Americans and the western powers know very well they cannot contain China economically.... but one way to contain China is to switch on and switch off the oil tap from the Middle East," he said.
"I happen to think the Middle East will go up in flames," he said.

Distrix (formerly Spark Integration Technologies) has announced the latest version of its flagship network-virtualization software. Distrix 4.1, available now, extends the manageability of remote networks while also improving the programmability of software-defined networking (SDN) environments.
Distrix 4.1 will be demonstrated at @ThingsExpo, in New York City, booth #238, June 10-12. Also at that conference, Distrix president Jay Friedman will give a presentation titled IoT Meets SDN for WANs - Keeping Networks Secure and Manageable, June 11, 2:10-2:45 p.m. (part of the Software Defined Data Center and Enterprise Cloud Stories track).
Both SDN and third-party-controller applications are now able to subscribe to Distrix network notifications and dynamically orchestrate changes using the software's RESTFul API. Version 4.1 features the Distrix Tunnel Policy engine that's now open for third-party integration, enabling better management chaining for tunnel services such as traffic firewall/access control lists (ACLs), prioritization and pre-processing. The Distrix Tunnel Policy's API allows policy rule extensions to include such features as intrusion detection system (IDS) and network-asset-control functions. Additionally, Distrix 4.1 features network security enhancements for Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP)-based certificate validation support before any Distrix gateways or tunnels can be provisioned.
"In our ongoing dialog with networking professionals around the world – from application developers to system architects to chief information officers – the term that arises consistently is agility," said Steve Mueller, senior product manager at Distrix. "They strive to create on-demand networks and by using the type of software-defined infrastructure that Distrix gateways provide, they benefit from simplicity, responsiveness and scalability, while still assuring security and resilience. The Distrix solution was developed from the ground up to provide such network agility, which we've enhanced significantly with version 4.1."
Distrix is a software-defined networking (SDN)-based, hardware-independent solution delivering next-generation local- and wide-area-network connectivity for simple, secure and resilient communications in remote and cloud-based applications, while minimizing network infrastructures' capital and operating expenses as they scale and grow. The award-winning Distrix solution enables IT and OT professionals to refine, rather than replace, their network infrastructures by delivering on-demand network connectivity necessary for modern networking, including machine-to-machine (m2M) communication and the Internet of Things (IoT). The Distrix solution enables organizations to further extend and scale their existing remote connectivity, and deliver dynamic, real-time, on-demand networks.

' 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 In wen furs Mf/ford L/ Dufie Roberf 14- Semraw SLIP RING ASSEMBLY BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As is well known, in many different types of electrical and electronic equipment it is necessary to transfer electrical energy between relatively moving members; for example, such a requirement is common in electronic business machines, audio and video equipment, telephone equipment, and the like. In addition, it is frequently necessary to provide a number of contact points at each transfer location, and a variety of different types of slip ring assemblies having such capabilities have been proposed and are presently available. There is a significant demand for moving contact devices having elements which are relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture and which are adapted for quick and easy assembly. Facility of assembly is of particular importance in producing the miniaturized devices that are now extensively used in much of the sophisticated electronic apparatus. In addition, it is desired to electrical noise and distortion arising from contact between relatively moving parts.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel slip ring assembly comprised of relatively few and relatively simple parts which are quickly and easily assembled.
Another object is to provide such an assembly that is especially adapted to the use of contact members affording highly desirable electrical characteristics including substantial freedom from noise and distortion.
A further object of the invention is to provide such a slip ring assembly which is particularly well suited for production in miniature sizes.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE It has now been found that the foregoing and related objects of the invention are'readily attained in a slip ring assembly comprising an elongated shaft having a multiplicity of axially extending surface channels spaced about the periphery thereof, and a plurality of lead wires, each seated in and extending along one of the channels. A plurality of substantially identical contact sets are adjacently mounted upon the shaft along the length thereof and over the channels, and each of the contact sets includes a generally annular metallic contact member and a generally annular spacer of insulating material. Each spacer has a spacing portion at one end thereof and a support portion extending axially therefrom about which the contact member extends circumferentially with its exterior surface at least partially exposed for external contact. Each of the contact members has an element extending into one of the plurality of channels and electrically connected to the lead wire seated therein. The spacing portion of the spacer of one of the contact sets extends between the contact member thereof and the contact member of an adjacent contact set to isolate the contact member of one set from that of the adjacent set.
In the preferred embodiments of the invention in each of the contact sets the contact member has a cylindrical portion seated upon the support portion of the spacer, and a tab portion at one end and extending radially inwardly therefrom along and beyond the other end of the spacer and into the associated channel to the contact element thereof. Most desirably, the contact member is fabricated of a wrought gold alloy. The
spacer of each of the contact sets may have a generally cylindrical support portion, and the outer surface of the one end thereof may have an annular,coaxial recess formed therein with the cylindrical other end of the spacer of the adjacent set seated in the recess. Most desirably, the assembly will include at least three contact sets, with the outer end of the cylindrical portion of the contact member of each of the sets having a circumferential lip portion extending radially inwardly thereabout. The lip portion may overlie the other end of the spacer, and that end may be bevelled for a short axial distance to facilitate mounting of the contact member. In assembly, the lip portion of the contact member of one set is seated in the annular recess formed in the one" end of the spacer of an adjacent contact set.
Most desirably, the assembly additionally includes a mounting fixture at one end of the shaft and retaining means at the other end thereof; the fixture and retaining means are affixed to the shaft with the plurality of contact sets secured therebetween. The shaft end mounting fixture may have interengaging means to prevent substantial relative rotation thereof.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is an elevational view, in partial section, of a slip ring assembly embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an end view of the assembly of FIG. 1; and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view thereof.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENT Turning now in detail to the appended drawing, therein illustrated is a slip ring assembly embodying the present invention and including an elongated cylindrical shaft, generally designated by the numeral 10, having its circumferential surface formed with a multiplicity of axially extending ribs 12 defining channels 14 therebetween. A radially outwardly extending shoulder element 16 is provided on each of the ribs 12 at one end of the shaft 10, and a boss 18 of lesser diameter projects axially from the opposite end thereof.
The assembly also includes a mounting fixture, generally designated by the numeral 20, consisting of a generally cylindrical hub portion 22 with an axial passageway 24 extending therethrough and a radially extending flange 26 extending about the circumference thereof intermediate its ends. The passageway 24 has an enlarged diameter portion at one end to provide an annular shoulder 28 against which the shoulder elements 16 of the shaft 10 seat to prevent passage of the shaft 10 entirely through the mounting fixture 20. A short axially extending rib or key 30 projects radially into the enlarged portion of the passageway 24 from the wall 32 thereabout and, as is best seen in FIG. 2, the key 30 projects into one of the channels 14 so that interference with the adjacent shoulder elements 16 of the shaft 10 prevents rotation thereof relative to the fixture 20. The flange 26 of the fixture 20 has three reinforcing bosses 34 at equidistantly spaced locations thereabout, and a counterbore aperture 36 to receive through the flange 26 within each of the reinforcing bosses 34 to receive mounting fasteners (not shown); a recess 38 is provided in the outer face of the flange 26, and serves an indexing function.
Mounted upon the shaft are a multiplicity of adjacent contact sets, each consisting of an annular spacer and a contact ring, generally designated by the numerals 40 and 42, respectively. All of the spacers 40 and all of the contact rings 42 are essentially identical, and therefore only one of each will be referred to and described.
The spacer 40 has a generally cylindrical hub or support portion 46 with a bevelled or tapered outer surface 48 at one end and a radially extending collar portion 50 at the other end thereof. The collar portion 50 has a circular channel or recess52 formed in its inner surface adjacent the juncture with the hub portion 46 to define the axially inwardly projecting and circumferentially extending lip 51. On its outer surface, the collar portion 50 has an axially outwardly projecting lip 53 extending circumferentially thereabout to define a coaxial annular recess 54 in the outer end of the spacer 40. As can be seen, the circular aperture 44 extending through the hub portion 46 is dimensioned to seat snugly the shaft 10 which extends therethrough.
The contact ring 42 has a generally cylindrical body portion 56 with a radially inwardly extending circumferential lip 58 at one end and a radially outwardly projecting circumferential flange 60 at the opposite end thereof. The ring 42 is mounted upon the spacer 40 with the body portion 56 overlying the support portion 46 of the spacer 40, with the lip 58 extending inwardly along the bevelled end thereof, and with the flange 60 of the ring 42 seated within the channel 52, An L- shaped contact tab 62 projects radially inwardly from the lip 58 of the ring 42 into one of the channels 14 and then extends axially in contact with the stripped end 64 of the lead wire 66, that extends with the channel 14; preferably, the contact tab 62 and lead wire end 64 will be secured together by soldering, brazing, or other appropriate means.
It will be apparent that the channels 14 permit ready alignment of the contact tabs 62 and lead wires 66, thus enabling contact and interconnection thereof and greatly facilitating assembly. After the full complement of contact sets necessary to provide a terminal for each of the lead wires 66 has been stacked upon the shaft 10, and the tab 62 of each of them connected to one of the leads 66, the assembly is completed simply by frictionally engaging the retainer disk 68 upon the boss 18 of the shaft 10 and against the end-most spacer 40. The contact sets are thereby held tightly in place between the retainer disk 68 and the mounting fixture 20 with the lip 58 and adjacent portion of the ring 42 of one set seated in the annular recess 54 of the spacer 40 adjacent thereto. The slip ring assembly may then readily be installed as desired for rotation and wiping contact with a brush assembly or the like (not illustrated) with the indexing bore 38 serving to identify the several leads 66 by reference thereto and with all of the tab/lead wire interconnections lying beneath the rings 42 and thereby protected against inadvertent disassembly by impact thereon.
It will be appreciated that a different number of contact sets and lead wires may be employed in the illustrated embodiment, and that the length and/or the diameter of the shaft (and consequently, the dimensions of the other elements, to be consistent therewith) may b changed to permit the formation of additional or fewer wire-receiving channels about the shaft, as may be necessary. The specific dimensions and configuration of the various parts of the assembly will depend upon numerous factors and will be apparent to those skilled in the art. However, as has been emphasized, the construction herein described lends itself particularly well to miniaturization; for example, overall dimensions of about three-eight inch in diameter (exclusive of the mounting fixture) and less than 1 inch in length are typical in such a miniature assembly. The present construction also permits the ready substitution of a variety of different independent mounting fixtures or elements, further enhancing the flexibility of usage thereof.
Virtually any electrically conducting metal capable of being fabricated in an appropriate configuration may be employed as the contact member including essentially pure metals such as copper, gold, aluminum, silver, etc., and alloys thereof and of other metals such as beryllium-copper, phosphor-bronze, stainless steels, etc. However, in the more sensitive or sophisticated applications where high corrosion resistance, low contact noise and relative freedom from distortion are essential criteria, noble metal alloys of gold, gold-platinum, etc., are especially desirable. It is particularly significant that the construction defined herein is ideally adapted for the use of contact members os wrought precious metal alloys such as the gold alloy sold by The J. M. Ney Company, of Bloomfield, Connecticut, under the trademark NEY-ORO G. Contact members fabricated from such a wrought alloy may have excellent tensile and hardness properties to resist damage in handling and wear in use, even though they are quite small and thin in cross section (as is the case ofminiature assemblies); accordingly, use thereof constitutes a preferred embodiment of the invention.
The choice of materials for use in fabricating the non-conduction portions of the assembly will depend upon the structural and dielectric properties required therein. Included are synthetic plastic materials, ceramics and graphite. Preferred are the synthetic plastics including the phenol-formaldehyde type of thermosetting resins and thermoplastics such as the polycarbonates, the long-chain polyamides, polyesters (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate resins), polyolefins (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.), vinyl and vinylidene resins (e.g., polystyrene, polyvinylchloride, styrene/acrylonitn'le copolymers, high impact polystyrene, etc.), and the like.
Thus, it can be seen that the present invention provides a novel slip ring assembly comprised of relatively few and relatively simple parts which are well adapted for rapid and facile assembly, the parts themselves being fabricated readily and relatively economically from materials affording high beneficial properties. As will be appreciated, the channels defined in the elongated shaft serve to readily seat the lead wires and to appropriately position the contact elements of the contact sets, so that they may be stacked upon the shaft quickly and accurately for interconnection of each with a selected lead wire. In addition, the assembly is so constructed as to make the use of electrical contact elements affording highly desirable electrical characteristics, and the assembly is particularly well suited for production in miniature sizes.
Having thus described the invention, we claim:
spacing portion at one end thereof and a support portion extending axially therefrom, said contact member extending circumferentially about said support portion and having its exterior surface at least partially exposed thereon for external contact, and said contact member having a contact element extending into one of said plurality of channels and electrically connected to said lead wire seated therein, said spacing portion of said spacer of one of said contact sets extending between the contact member thereof and the contact member of an adjacent contact set to isolate the contact member of one set from the contact member of the adjacent set.

Digital Globe Services, a leading provider of outsourced online customer acquisition solutions for large, consumer-facing corporations, today announced its intention to launch into Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific. N+1 Singer has been appointed as Financial Adviser to assess funding options for the expansion, which may include a flotation on AIM.
Jeff Cox, Founder and Chief Executive of DGS, commented, "We believe our market leading technology and expertise in paid search and online customer acquisition places us at the forefront of a vast and rapidly growing market. With our blue chip customer base and strong financial position we are confident in our ability to replicate our successes in the US telecoms market into other verticals and territories.
"There is clearly a growing momentum in the number of technology companies joining the UK market via AIM and we believe this could provide a credible home for our business, raising our profile internationally and supporting our launch into European and Latin America markets as well as into new verticals."
Overview of DGS
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Colorado, USA, DGS employs over 430 staff both in North America and internationally. The Company currently has over 30 customers globally, many of which are in the US Fortune 500. DGS is a specialist provider of online customer acquisition solutions, through the delivery of optimised paid search, websites and call centre support.
DGS is seeking to establish itself as the leading provider of outsourced online customer acquisition services through its focus on having the premier technology platform for pricing and procuring paid search advertising on a cost effective basis. The Company has been consistently profitable every quarter since 2009, establishing a track record of increasing revenue, profitability, and cash generation, with these metrics and shareholder dividends showing annual growth rates in excess of 40%. The Company believes that medium term revenue growth in the region of 20-30% per annum will be sustainable.
What is Paid Search?
Search providers, such as Google, Yahoo, etc. typically provide advertisers with the opportunity, in exchange for a fee, to position search results or advertisements in response to specific search terms that users enter. In such "paid search" or "sponsored search" opportunities, the search provider will undertake an auction, in real time, for the key search terms which prospective advertisers will compete for in order to have their advertising or search results displayed. DGS uses its proprietary technology and database to enter bids in these auctions at price levels that seek to maximize DGS's profitability and deliver the highest quality customers to DGS's clients.
The Directors believe that DGS's proprietary technology and databases, which include information on over 10 million search terms in over 6,000 geographic locations developed over five years, allow the Company a key source of competitive advantage within its industry.
In addition, DGS provides outsourced call centre and online services in order to respond to client customers who have followed a paid search link and registered their interest in the client's offering. By optimising the results of paid search advertising, DGS is able to efficiently and cost effectively draw customers to DGS's estate of web and contact centre properties. By further managing the process of converting these interested customers to paying customers, DGS provides considerable value in terms of ROI for advertisers seeking to acquire new customers.
The Market for Paid Search
Internet advertising, and paid search in particular, is a significant and fast growing global market. In calendar year 2011, corporations spent approximately $94 billion on Internet advertising out of which approximately 49%, or $46 billion was spent on paid search. Gartner projects that this amount will increase to approximately $138 billion by 2016, reflecting a compound growth rate in excess of 40% over the next three years.
DGS estimates that currently only 10% of the paid search market is outsourced to specialists such as DGS on a "fee per sale" commercial model. The balance is either not optimized to the level provided by the DGS, or advised or managed by third party providers that operate on a "percentage of spend" or "retainer" model. In a percentage of spend model, third parties will contract with companies to acquire paid search advertising in exchange for a percentage of the aggregate amount spent by the buyer. In a retainer model, third parties will contract to provide procurement and optimization services on a time and efforts or other fixed price basis.
DGS believes that both percentage of spend and retainer models do not align the interests of the corporate buyers of paid search advertising with the paid search service provider. DGS further believes that, over time, an increasing proportion of the overall paid search spend by companies will migrate towards providers such as DGS because of the greater transparency and clear return on expenditure provided by the fee per sale model.
A growing component of DGS's paid search advertising has been procured for mobile devices. In fiscal year 2011 such mobile advertising accounted for approximately 25% of all DGS's advertising dollar volume. This grew to approximately 55% of DGS advertising in fiscal year 2012.
Expansion of DGS
To date, DGS has focused on providing its solutions to US corporations operating in the telecommunications sector; all of the fifteen largest cable telecommunications companies (as measured by revenue) acquire customers through DGS. The Company believes the international market for its services to be significant and has begun exploring expansion opportunities.
DGS already has contracted with several clients in Mexico and is in the process of expanding more broadly into the Latin American marketplace. The Company is also in the process of establishing operations in Europe, with an initial focus on the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Finally, the Company is in exploratory stages of developing a market entry strategy for Asia-Pacific with material revenues targeted for 2015. These territories have been selected because of their strong telecommunications brands, competitive landscape and the shift in consumer purchasing behavior from more traditional marketing to internet marketing.
The Company is also expanding beyond its initial focus on telecommunications clients with expansion into adjacent markets such as energy utilities, education, financial services and other consumer facing industries that are seeking to optimize their online customer acquisition efforts. The Company has recently launched in the deregulated electricity utility sector in North America. The Company believes that a material proportion of its revenue will be derived from customers outside of the global telecoms sector by early 2015.
