Thick Film Materials require Engineering and Manufacturing, as well as an Excellent Technical Service Manager

---

December 14, 2010 – John Whitmarsh, Technical Service Manager of ESL Europe, is recognized as a member of Emerald Who’s Who for Executives and Professionals Inc. for his extensive experience, leadership and dedication.

Retaining an HNC in Applied Physics from Slough-UK in 1975, Mr. Whitmarsh worked in the production of II-VI semiconductors (with Mining and Chemical Products Ltd) and researched into platinum group metals (with Johnson Matthey), and spent a short period of time producing thick film hybrid circuits for Waycom (now Corintech Hybrids). For the past twenty five years he has been Technical Service Manager at ESL Europe, manufacturers of think film pastes for the microelectronic industry. This involves supplying technical information to Sales staff worldwide, solving processing problems, and building prototypes.

Mr. Whitmarsh relates his responsibilities to the applications of thick film materials, involving a large sum of engineering and problem solving. He considers the most important and crucial part of his job to communicate what is to be done as well as what has been done so that problems are solved and no work is repeated by careful planning and organization. This necessitates a great deal of thinking, listening, reading as well as talking and writing. Mr. Whitmarsh is dedicated to the uses of thick film pastes in any electronic circuitry, the support of sales to this end, and the development of new technology within the ESL group.

“My responsibilities have included a certain amount of fire fighting…” Mr. Whitmarsh humors, “but these days more and more time is spent on information dissemination especially via the website www.electroscience.com.” ESL ElectroScience has continuously supplied materials for the fabrication of thick film circuits since its formation in 1962. Having many years’ experience in thick film materials and their applications, Mr. Whitmarsh is able to answer queries about traditional uses of thick film materials and has run many courses to teach newcomers the basics of the technology. Many of the traditional products are processed at 500°C or 850°C but he notes with great interest the move towards plastic electronics (low temperature processing) and high temperature cofired ceramic (HTCC). Articles on these technologies, and others like aluminum as an alternative to steel as a substrate and flexible polymer silvers for smart card, touch panel display and thin film solar cells, appear on the ESL ElectroScience website.

Along with his affiliation with Emerald Who’s Who for Professionals and Executives, Mr. Whitmarsh is also a member of the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society (IMAPS), and has received an Emerald Literati Network 2010 award for a paper that appeared in Microelectronics International. He is looking to network with all kinds of professionals, especially those in emerging and green technologies as “there is so much to learn”.

Is it true? AT&T worst mobile provider of them all? Houston Chronical reports...

http://www.mediapost.com/blogs/raw/?p=4840

What mobile provider do you have? I have heard only good things about Verizon in NY over the years, while all other carriers are sub-par, with dropped calls, dead zone and the lot. I have heard that now that Verizon will start to carry the IPHONE soon, AT&T will need to come up with the next big thing in order to compete.

Interestingly, AT&T has spent billions on revamping their infrastructure according to the article. Perhaps they are waiting to unveil it, I guess this is something we have to see.

So you have an IPHONE now? Would you move over to Verizon when they begin to carry it... Just make sure you check out the prices first if it matters to you. Verizon will be releasing it's 4G technology early next year, and they might be charging extra from this one.

Good Luck!!

Some unemployed may never work again - Possibly Due to "Job Skills Atrophy"

---

Some unemployed may never work again.... an interesting phrase from this article is "Job Skills Atrophy". For those out of the work force a long time 12 months plus, you need to make sure you keep you skills sharp if you want to get back in there. Another worthy note, those who are out for too long, may milk the system... for more paid time out of work. As a colleague of mine stated recently, he took a job, and is now being paid less than he was when on unemployment. Quite disappointing.

http://www.kiplinger.com/columns/dekaser-p...work_again.html

More folks than ever before have been out of a job for a year or more. The prognosis for them isn't good. And that spells bad news for the economy.
By Jerome Idaszak, Associate Editor, The Kiplinger Letter
November 3, 2010
It's likely to take five or more years for the ranks of the long-term unemployed to return to a more normal level. With the unemployment rate remaining stubbornly high and job creation anemic, the number of would-be wage earners who have been out of work for a year or more is ballooning. It's risen from 668,000 when the recession began at the end of 2007 to the current tally of 4.3 million -- nearly 3% of the labor force and almost three times the previous post-World War II high of 1% in 1982.

That time, it took about five years for the number of long-term unemployed Americans to recede to its prerecession total. This time, there's reason to believe the tide will take longer to ebb. One reason: In the roughly 60 months since the inflated housing market crested, about 2 million jobs in construction have disappeared. Although housing construction will gradually recover, it won't return to bubble levels for a couple of decades, at least. As a result, many of today's unemployed construction workers may never earn a paycheck again. Moreover, the longer someone is out of work, the less likely he or she is to return to the workplace. Job skills atrophy, especially in fields that require computer use or other rapidly evolving technology.

What's more, following this recession, the spectrum of workers finding themselves out of work for a prolonged period is broader than in the past. Just 35% of those now counted among the long-term unemployed were working in factories before the recession. In the downturn of the early 1980s, 55% of those with no jobs for a year or more came from factories. This time, a greater portion were earning their livings in finance, insurance, real estate and business services. The ratio of college graduates is higher now, too.

The fact is, "natural unemployment" has probably crept up in recent years. In the late 1990s, many economists considered the nation to be at full employment with a jobless rate around 4% -- just enough to account for folks moving between jobs plus enough slack to prevent wage inflation. Now economists figure that the benchmark is about 5.5% unemployment, maybe even 6% -- closer to what had been considered natural unemployment through most of the previous two decades. Odds are it'll stay near that higher percentage for years, long after the economy is operating at full steam.

That's a bum deal on two scores. Having a larger share of the workforce unable to find jobs at any given time keeps pressure on government to spend more on the social safety net -- not just jobless benefits but also Medicaid, food stamps and more. And more long-term unemployed means millions of shoppers staying away from malls, auto dealerships, restaurants and other businesses.

The outlook isn't good. Almost one-third of today's jobless have been out of work for more than one year. Even though the economy is improving, job creation remains sluggish. It will be several months before employers can be counted on to consistently add 130,000 net new jobs a month, and that will only match growth of the labor force from immigrants and young folks just starting out. To bring the unemployment rate down will take sustained net job growth of much more than that.

Why are there so many long-term unemployed this time around? First and foremost, it's because this recession threw a whopping 8.4 million people out of work -- compared with 2.9 million in the early 1980s. In addition, hiring in this recovery has been slower than in all other postwar economic recoveries.

It's also possible that extending unemployment benefits beyond the standard 26 weeks -- as Congress has done several times -- discourages people from trying to find work. Critics of lengthier benefit periods cite the national average of 90 weeks of benefits in the current recession and recovery versus an average of 55 weeks in 1983. But Federal Reserve economists say that even without the extended benefits, the number of long-term unemployed would total at least 3 million, still a record.

Chickens… The right way to raise them, the humane way to treat them, the healthiest kind to buy and eat. Time to go back to basics.

---

FLOCKMAN and Mini-FLOCKMAN are the world’s two best forms of farming equipment to raise and feed chickens. The innovator of this system and newest member of Emerald Who’s Who for Executives and Professionals inc., is David Filmer. Mr. Filmer is being recognized for his innovation, perseverance and true dedication to his business and for the welfare of birds and the benefit of the farmers that raise them, along with his keen business sense. We welcome David into our esteemed group of professionals.

Mr. Filmer has successfully served as managing Director of FLOCKMAN for 22 years when the company began. Today, together with his son Bob they developed a revolutionary, inexpensive system that most farmers can afford and use to raise chickens in a more humane and more profitable way - “Mini-FLOCKMAN”.

David has a plethora of experience working at several prestigious universities in the United Kingdom, including London and Cambridge, where he taught Poultry husbandry and statistics to degree students. He also worked in leadership positions at high profile organizations such as Silcocks, Dalgety Agriculture and Unilever. To add to his repertoire, David Filmer has educational degrees in Agriculture from London (Wye) and Cambridge Universities.

When he became Animal Nutritionist to Silcocks in 1961, he was responsible for all cattle, pig and poultry feed specifications as well as research and development. One hundred trials were set up, interpreted and acted upon each year. He became Technical Director to Crosfields, then to Dalgety Agriculture and finally headed up Unilever’s BOCM Silcock’s Nutrition department.

David’s interests have been in Digestive Physiology across the species in conjunction with Nutrition, which was led by a study of the Indian Jungle Fowl to the recognition of the limitations of industrial broiler developments. He devised systems capable of improving bird health and welfare as well as digestive efficiency, by providing environments and feeding systems to produce more natural ways of keeping chicken in modern industrial accommodations. His studies have proved that modern “typical” feeding has reduced the quality of life, quality of health and substantially increased the cost to raise birds. In essence, he found that some pre-war methods were lost through mechanization, and “going back to basics”, how things once were, was actually better overall.

FLOCKMAN (the Original) has been in existence for over 20 years. The system has won several awards and has been featured in a recent MAFF LINK project, “Integrated Management Systems for Poultry”. This project enabled birds to be automatically steered along a pre-determined growth curve to reach the desired weight on the correct day.

However the system has proved to be too complex and expensive for most farmers, as it requires automatic feed and bird weighers, water meters and a computer. Mr. Filmer has created a simple system that has most of the functions of FLOCKMAN, but without climate control, feed and bird weighers, water meters or a computer. The result is the dynamic “Mini-FLOCKMAN” that requires no daily attention and is a fraction of the cost of FLOCKMAN, while retaining all of the bird performance benefits.

Mr. Filmer has won many awards throughout his career such as:

Technology Transfer Award, British Pig and Poultry Fair: 1996

ROCHE Award for making an outstanding contribution to the knowledge or practice of livestock nutrition during the preceding five years. (David Filmer was the first winner from the commercial world. Past winners were all academics or research workers from universities and institutes): 1998

HGCA Enterprise Award for increasing the proportion of home grown cereals (primarily whole wheat) in the diet of domestic poultry: 2002

Website Award for Excellence and the high standard of workmanship achieved: 2010 http://www.flockman.com

We recommend all to go to http://www.flockman.com for an in depth review of Mr. Filmer’s products and research to learn more about this revolutionary system. We also encourage you to go to http://www.emeraldwhoswho.com to find Mr. Filmer and other successful executives and professionals to network with. After all it’s not only what you know, but who you know.

Forrest Wright is the Chief Administrative Officer of Beaver Regional Waste Management Services Commission.

At its inception the Commission operated a small regional landfill at Ryley, taking in approximately 5000 ton per year. Commencing in 1993 the Commission undertook to obtain approvals for the expansion of the facility to take large volumes of waste. By 1995 the approvals were in place and Laidlaw Waste Services from the City of Edmonton hauled their first load into a newly engineered cell in early October of that same year.

The Beaver Regional Sanitary Landfill Class II now accepts approximately 1/3 of the municipal solid waste from the City of Edmonton.

Through the acquisition of adjacent properties to the landfill, the facility in terms of capacity is one of the largest in North America, if not the largest. The operation benefits the entire region through reduced dependence on taxpayers to fund the facility and the implementation of the most advanced automated waste collection system on the continent.

Wright's specialization is Executive Management, and his expertise is in Waste Management. He is looking to network on a national level.

His education includes in BA in Political Science and Economics. He is affiliated with the SWANA group.
