  • High-Performance, Flame-Retardant Material Results in Battery Connector That Can Take the Heat
    Case Study High-performance, Flame-retardant Material Results in Battery Connector that Can Take the Heat Sustainability To address the environmental issues, SMK also was looking for non-halogenated and bio-based materials that would meet those parameters. Solution The DuPont Japan sales team joined forces with the SMK design team in Japan to initiate the project and to do the material recommendation. Technical teams from SMK and DuPont China then collaborated to run the trial at the SMK facility in China. The onsite technical support from DuPont China’s technical team also optimized the processing for the cell phone battery connector.

  • The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0: America’S Car Dealers Prepare for Change
    The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0: America’s Car Dealers Prepare for Change February 2020 An independent study by Glenn Mercer Prepared for the National Automobile Dealers Association The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0 America’s Car Dealers Prepare for Change by Glenn Mercer Introduction This report is a sequel to the original Dealership of Tomorrow: 2025 (DOT) report, issued by NADA in January 2017. The original report was commissioned by NADA in order to provide its dealer members (the franchised new-car dealers of America) perspectives on the changing automotive retailing environment. The 2017 report was intended to offer “thought starters” to assist dealers in engaging in strategic planning, looking ahead to roughly 2025.1 In early 2019 NADA determined it was time to update the report, as the environment was continuing to shift. The present document is that update: It represents the findings of new work conducted between May and December of 2019. As about two and a half years have passed since the original DOT, focused on 2025, was issued, this update looks somewhat further out, to the late 2020s. Disclaimers As before, we need to make a few things clear at the outset: 1. In every case we have tried to link our forecast to specific implications for dealers. There is much to be said about the impact of things like electric vehicles and connected cars on society, congestion, the economy, etc. But these impacts lie far beyond the scope of this report, which in its focus on dealerships is already significant in size. Readers are encouraged to turn to academic, consulting, governmental and NGO reports for discussion of these broader issues.

They made a major contribution to the success of the best lantern presentations. Yet they received little notice in their own time, and have received even less in ours. Who were these people? Who created the best color for the commercial lantern slide companies? Who colored the slides that helped make the best lecturers into superstars? What were their secrets—their domestic and foreign inspirations, their hidden artistic techniques—the elements that made them so outstanding? What was the “revolution” in slide coloring, and who followed in the footsteps of the revolutionaries?

  • Thesis, the Songs of 10 Rappers Were Analyzed
    ABSTRACT Get Rich or Die Tryin’: A Semiotic Approach to the Construct of Wealth in Rap Music Kristine Ann Davis, M.A. Mentor: Sara J. Stone, Ph.D. For the past 30 years, rap music has made its way into the mainstream of America, taking an increasingly prominent place in popular culture, particularly for youth, its main consumers. This thesis looks at wealth through the lens of semiotics, an important component of critical/cultural theory, using a hermeneutical analysis of 11 rap songs, spanning the last decade of rap music to find signification and representation of wealth in the rap song lyrics. The research finds three important themes of wealth - relationship between wealth and the opposite sex, wealth that garners respect from other people, and wealth as a signifier for “living the good life” - and five signifiers of wealth – money, cars, attire, liquor, and bling.
