Since 1940, The Art & Creative Materials Institute, Inc. (“ACMI”) has been evaluating and certifying art, craft, and other creative materials to ensure that they are properly labeled. This certification program is reviewed by ACMI’s Toxicological Advisory Board. Over the years, three certification seals had been developed: The CP (Certified Product) Seal, the AP (Approved Product) Seal, and the HL (Health Label) Seal. In 1998, ACMI made the decision to simplify its Seals and scale the number of Seals used down to two. Descriptions of these new Seals and the Seals they replace follow: New AP Seal: (replaces CP Non-Toxic, CP, AP Non-Toxic, AP, and HL (No Health Labeling Required). Products bearing the new AP (Approved Product) Seal of the Art & Creative Materials Institute, Inc. (ACMI) are certified in a program of toxicological evaluation by a medical expert to contain no materials in sufficient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans or to cause acute or chronic health problems. These products are certified by ACMI to be labeled in accordance with the chronic hazard labeling standard, ASTM D 4236 and the U.S. Labeling of Hazardous NO HEALTH LABELING REQUIRED Art Materials Act (LHAMA) and there is no physical hazard as defined with 29 CFR Part 1910.1200 (c).

  • Milestones of 11.11 Global Shopping Festival
    ▪ Alibaba Group’s 11.11 Global Shopping Festival is the world’s largest online shopping event by number of merchants and consumers. ▪ The presales data and the first sales window of this year’s 11.11 Global Shopping Festival indicate strong consumption rebound and higher-than-ever demand in China. ▪ Following the impact of COVID-19 on the global retail sector, the 11.11 Global Shopping Festival aims to serve as a catalyst for international businesses, helping them meet Chinese consumers’ rising demand for brands. WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR? EXTENDED FESTIVAL TO ALLOW MORE NEW BRANDS AND SMES TO PARTICIPATE o The 2020 11.11 Shopping Festival has two sales windows: November 1-3 and the typical 24 hours over the course of November 11. The presales period will also span across two phases: from October 21 to October 31 and from November 4 to November 10. o This year, we have strengthened our focus on SMEs – exemplified by our first-ever 11.11 “Go Global Pitch Fest” to make it even easier for small businesses to join the event. By creating a second sales window, more merchants representing new exciting brands and small businesses will have the opportunity to participate in the extended festival. LAUNCH PAD FOR NEW BRANDS AND NEW PRODUCTS o More than 250,000 brands will participate in this year’s 11.11, which is expected to attract about 800 million consumers. o Nearly half of Tmall merchants have launched a total of 40 million new products for 11.11. o To meet Chinese consumers’ increasing demand for international products, Alibaba’s cross-border marketplace Tmall Global will bring more than 26,000 imported brands from 84 countries and regions to Chinese consumers, 1.4x the number of imported brands from last year.

  • Montegrappa… First 360º Design Portal Offers Exotic Materials, Hi- Fidelity Rendering and Complete Design Control
    History and Future e live in a world that places a high value on time. Instruments made to count time have come to command astronomical prices. Yet in the manic, noisy crossfire of modern life, objects designed to make time count for more are rare. For more than a century, a family company nested in the Italian Dolomites has remained relentlessly curious about perfecting the deeply personal – often magical – relationship between paper and the human mind. Since beginning our quest for perfection in 1912, we have watched words - and the countless hours we devote to them – become devalued by abundance. ‘Progress’ has often come at the price of values, meaning and truth. Far from representing a suspension of progress, Montegrappa pens exist so that connoisseurs of thought and devotees of words may savour the luxury of slowing time down. “All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.” Ernest Hemingway Write the truest sentence that you knowWrite the Many of our friends and rivals delight in celebrating pens as relics of days gone by. With the greatest of respect, we beg to differ. Whereas others portray themselves as keepers of tradition, Montegrappa remains steadfastly committed to the tradition of innovation. Our manufactory is situated in the exact location where Italian fountain pen production began more than a century ago. Within these walls, antique artisanal high jewellery craft stands shoulder-to-shoulder with high- precision, computer-controlled technologies. But technical excellence is the very least our community of Montegrappisti deserves. Above all, the imaginations of fantasists, visionaries, and our most exuberant users are what spur us on to ever more audacious and uncommon creations.

  • Mass Spectrometric Investigation of the Aging Processes of Ballpoint Ink for the Examination of Questioned Documents
    MASS SPECTROMETRIC INVESTIGATION OF THE AGING PROCESSES OF BALLPOINT INK FOR THE EXAMINATION OF QUESTIONED DOCUMENTS INAUGURAL DISSERTATION For the degree of Doktor rer. nat. submitted to Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Faculty of Biology and Chemistry) Céline Weyermann born on 13.03.1978 in La Chaux-de Fonds Switzerland. Giessen, 23th September 2005 Dean Prof. Dr. Jürgen Mayer 1st Referee Prof. Dr. Bernhard Spengler 2nd Referee Prof. Dr. Pierre Margot 3rd Referee Prof. Dr. Rudolf Geyer Zusammenfassung In den forensischen Wissenschaften ist die Bestimmung des Alters einer Kugelschreibereintragung (z.B. Kugelschreiberstrich) ein wichtiges Kriterium bei der Echtheitsprüfung von Dokumenten. Seit Beginn dieser Untersuchungen ist die Altersbestimmung eine wichtige und meist unbeantwortet gebliebene Frage geblieben. Die forensischen Wissenschaftler streiten sich über die Möglichkeit und die Validierung von Datierungsmethoden. Diese Kontroverse ist der Angangspunkt dieser Arbeit gewesen. Kugelschreiberpasten bestehen aus drei Hauptkomponenten: Lösungsmitteln (50%), Farbstoffen (25%) und Harzen (25%). Nach dem Auftragen der Pasten auf Papier findet mit der Zeit eine qualitative und quantitative Veränderung der Zusammensetzung der Kugelschreibereintragung statt. Während Farbstoffe ausbleichen, d.h. vor allem photochemisch abgebaut werden, wird das Alterungsverhalten der Lösungsmittel durch den Verdampfungs- und Diffusionsprozess charakterisiert. In der vorgestellten Arbeit, sind die Alterungsprozesse von Farbstoffen und Lösungsmitteln mittels
