About a month ago, I checked out a book from the library called Why Johnny Can't Brand : Rediscovering the Lost Art of the Big Idea . The name is a take off the 1950's title Why Johnny Can't Read, and got my attention enough for me to give it a chance. I'm glad I did.
The goal of this book is to discover what the author calls your Dominant Selling Idea – the combination of your unique name with a specialty that makes you #1 in the mind of the customer. It's the essense, the absolute core, of what your business is all about. Once you know it, it becomes the foundation for every customer interaction and marketing message.
The problem for most companies is that they've got absolutely no idea of what makes them unique to potential customers, if there's anything unique to begin with. Think about some of the brand names you run into every day: Ford, Kmart, Sony, and countless others. Do they immediately bring a single idea to your mind? They don't for me. Now, think about some others: Target, Mazda, and Nintendo, for example. I think, respectively, design, "zoom zoom", and fun. How about you?
Unearthing a dominant selling idea isn't easy, and takes a lot of time that I'm sure a lot of businesses feel they can't afford to "waste". But really, there's nothing more important than for a company to find out what they're all about and what they stand for. That Big Idea can transform a business into one a power house.
Quick: What do you think when I say Apple?

Compression-mount H2.4 connector supports up to 50GHz frequency with a transmission speed of 25GB/s…
SIMI VALLEY, CA — April 20, 2015 — Hirose, a leader in the development of innovative connector solutions, has added a compression-mounted 2.4mm coaxial connector to its extensive RF connector offering that is ideal for applications in lab equipment, test equipment, characterization boards, and high-speed backplanes for data/computing and network analyzers. The H2.4 Series meets the MIL-STD348B standard, and supports up to 50 GHz with a transmission speed of 25 Gbps.
Featuring a stub-less design with screw-mounting to the PCB, the high-bandwidth H2.4 Series coaxial connector simplifies the assembly process and provides several electrical and mechanical advantages over soldered versions. With traditional soldered through-hole type models, signal reflection may be caused by the stub protruding through the board, but the with H2.4 compression-mounted connector, the center contact is mounted flush with the PCB. This eliminates the stub, and signal reflection is significantly reduced. The H2.4 Series also optimizes design flexibility as it can be used with PCB boards of various thicknesses (1.6mm minimum). In addition, the connector is reusable and can be attached and removed to boards for multiple uses, saving time and costs.
"Solder terminations inherently introduce the potential for human error. A screw mount design eliminates this human error variable and ensures a high reliability connector with excellent high- frequency performance and consistent assembly quality," said Rick van Weezel, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Hirose Electric USA. "Through-hole mount types are also limited to one PCB thickness, but a stubless screw mount type allows for various PCB thickness with one connector type."
The H2.4 Series plug is manufactured with a 0.085 inch semi-flexible cable with terminated plugs on each end, and the receptacle features a gold-plated ground ring for stabilizing grounding on the PCB.
The connector has a contact resistance of 4 milliohms max in the center and 2 milliohms max in the outer section. This H2.4 Series connector series is rated for 500 mating cycles with a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms.

Small DF63W Series wire-to-wire connector delivers IP67-rated protection in a compact package…
WATER-RESISTANT IN-LINE POWER CONNECTOR FROM HIROSE
SIMI VALLEY, CA — September 30, 2015 — Hirose, a leader in the development of innovative connector solutions, has introduced the DF63W Series, a small wire-to-wire power connector capable of delivering up to 14 Amps. A slim design and all-plastic shell with smooth contour makes the DF63W Series ideal for wiring in small spaces. IP67-rated water-resistant protection is accomplished utilizing a wire seal and housing seal that is pre-assembled in the housing. The crimped contacts and wire are easily inserted through the seals to complete the cable assembly.
The small size and high durability of the DF63W Series connector makes it an ideal choice for LED lighting, consumer and home appliances, food processing machinery, automatic ticket gates, medical devices, motorized bicycles, robotic machinery, and security systems.
Available in a 2-position single-row, 3-position double-row, and 4-position double-row version, the DF63W Series connector accepts AWG from 16 to 22. Two different keying types are offered in black and white colors to prevent cross-mating in multi-use applications.
"Designed for environments that require IP67 sealing and small size, the compact DF63W Series in-line connector simplifies wiring in narrow spaces," said Rick van Weezel, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Hirose Electric USA.
Utilizing a highly reliable contact structure, the DF63W Series delivers ruggedized connectivity that is resistant to shock and vibration and minimizes contact fretting.
The DF63W Series connector features a center latch that provides a tactile click during mating and visual confirmation of a completed lock condition. The latch is also protected by tapered side guards that prevent entanglement in the conduit and accidental unmating.
The DF63W design has no exposed metal components, reducing the possibility of shock and arcing.
In addition, the plug and receptacle use the same crimping applicator, potentially reducing cable assembly tooling costs.
The DF63W Series features a voltage rating of 630V AC/DC, a contact resistance of 10 m ohms maximum, and an insulation resistance of 1000 M ohms minimum. The DF63W Series has a mating durability of 30 full insertion/withdrawal cycles and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Mill-Max is pleased to introduce new .050" (1,27 mm) pitch spring-loaded right angle and horizontal SMT connectors to its standard product lineup. These new connectors offer space saving spring-loaded solutions for a variety of interconnect applications.
Both connector series are ideal for mating boards in a perpendicular orientation or for parallel, daisy chaining applications. The centerline mating height is .0435" (1,1 mm) from the board surface with a total profile height of .087" (2,21 mm). The fine pitch and low profile are desirable for dense packaging requirements while maintaining the durability and reliability expected of quality interconnect components.
The right angle, 854-22-0XX-20-001101, is a through-hole mount connector with .016" (0,41 mm) diameter solder tails suitable for board thickness up to .100" (2,54 mm). The 854-22-0XX-40-001101 is a horizontal surface mount (HSMT) with .016" (0,41 mm) diameter termination leads held to a .005" (0,13 mm) co-planarity. They each have a .0275" (0,7 mm) working travel (mid-stroke) and a maximum stroke capability of .055" +/-.005" (1,4 mm – 0,13 mm).
Each series is single row and has standard availability of 1 to 20 positions (higher pin counts available upon request). These connector series are also available with mounting pegs on the insulator housing to provide additional strength and alignment. To specify connectors with mounting pegs, modify the part numbers as follows: right angle series, 854-22-0XX-20-601101; horizontal SMT series, 854-22-0XX-40-601101. (See the attached datasheets for pad and hole layouts, as well as part number information). These connectors, along with new right angle and HSMT target connectors, provide great versatility for diverse mating configurations.
These two new series also maintain the quality and reliability of current Mill-Max spring pin connectors by utilizing the same precision-machined external components and internal spring technology. Gold-plated components and springs ensure the highest conductivity, corrosion resistance and durability. The spring-loaded pins used in these connectors have a current rating of 2 amps continuous use (3 amps maximum). The high temperature plastic housing is suitable for all soldering processes and the connectors are RoHS compliant.

MillMax – Target Connector Lineup Expanded with .050″ and .100″ Concave Face Right Angle, HSMT and More
Mill-Max is expanding its selection of target connectors in both our .100″ (2,54mm) and .050″ (1,27mm) grid families. Target connectors are used in place of SMT pads on a PCB as the mating surface for spring-loaded pins. The new series include right angle with concave mating face (.100″ grid), through-hole and surface mount with concave face (.050″ grid) and horizontal surface mount and right angle (.050″ grid) with both flat and concave face options available.
Combining target connectors with spring-loaded connectors on opposing boards can be a simple and convenient solution for making connections between stacked boards or docking stations and devices.
As a complement to our existing .100″ grid right angle target connectors, we are introducing two new series featuring targets with concave faces. The single row series is 399-10-1XX-10-007000 and the double row is 499-10-2XX-10-007000; both are for through-hole mounting.
In our .050″ grid lineup, we have added concave face versions of our SMT and through-hole target connectors: 856-10-0XX-10-002000 (single row, through-hole); 856-10-0XX-30-002000 (single row, SMT); 857-10-0XX-10-002000 (double row, through hole); 857-10-0XX-30-002000 (double row, SMT).
Concave face target connectors provide additional surface area for mating and can aid in centering/alignment of components and/or boards fitted with spring-loaded connectors.
Rounding out the lineup of new target connectors are right angle and horizontal surface mount (HSMT) versions on .050″ grid. These connectors provide low profile options for parallel or right angle board mating arrangements. The HSMT version is especially suited for daisy chaining applications such as those found in LED strip lighting assemblies. These connectors will be available with both flat and concave face options. The right angle series are 856-10-0XX-20-001000 (flat face) and 856-10-0XX-20-002000 (concave face); the HSMT series are 856-10-0XX-40-001000 (flat face) and 856-10-0XX-40-002000 (concave face).
All the pins are precision-machined and gold-plated for environmental protection, durability and reliable conductivity. The connector insulators are molded from high temperature plastic suitable for most soldering processes, including RoHS environments. All of these products are RoHS compliant.
https://pscelex.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/mill-max-target-connector.jpg 300 450 Marketing http://pscelex.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/PSC-logo-trans-300x200.png Marketing2016-04-27 23:02:432017-05-11 01:52:41MillMax - Target Connector Lineup Expanded with .050" and .100" Concave Face Right Angle, HSMT and More
Mill-Max is excited to announce a new addition to its family of spring pin mating products. This low profile SMT disc shaped terminal is perfect for applications where vertical space is at a premium.
The new 1578-3-57-15-00-00-03-0 SMT disc is .078″ (1,98 mm) in diameter and only .055″ +/-.002″ (1,4 mm +/- 0,0508 mm) tall. Employing our precision-machining expertise we are able to achieve flat surfaces on both sides of the disc with virtually no burrs. The flat surfaces are ideal for surface mount soldering and as the conductive mating surface for spring-loaded pins and connectors as well as test probes. The discs are typically placed on solder pasted PCB pads and then subjected to reflow soldering. Once soldered the terminals are ready to be used as reliable, durable contact points.
The 1578-3's are packaged on tape & reel — 16 mm wide x 8 mm pitch, 4,000 parts per reel — making them simple to integrate into existing pick & place equipment and assembly processes. The tape packaging is per EIA-481-D.
These SMT target discs are machined from brass and come standard with a 10 u" hard gold finish with a nickel under-plate. Custom sizes are quickly and easily achievable via Mill-Max's high speed precision-machining processes. Other plating options, such as thicker gold or other materials, are also available. In addition, we offer many other styles of discrete target pins, which may better be suited to your application. As always, if you don't see what you need feel free to contact our technical support team to discuss your particular application and requirements.

Additional Offerings of Straight and Right Angle Machined PCB Pins
Mill-Max has developed additional straight and right angle male PCB pins to complement the existing 35XX and 37XX series. In addition to the .020" (0,51mm), .025"( 0,63mm), .030"( 0,76mm) and .040"( 1,02mm) diameters available, these new pins now offer diameters of .060"( 1,52mm ) and .080"(2,03mm). They are suitable for plugging into receptacles and/or soldering into printed circuit boards. The new .060" (1,52mm ) and .080"(2,03mm) diameter pins are a good fit for applications demanding high mechanical strength or to meet higher current requirements.
The 37XX series is ideal for any situation where a right angle connection is required. They can be soldered on to a daughter card and plugged into receptacles or connectors on a motherboard for perpendicular board mating. They can also be combined with right angle receptacles or connectors to mate boards in parallel (daisy chaining). These brass pins are precision-machined and are closely monitored to produce pins with consistent bends each time. The tips of the pins have a full radius shape making them easy to plug into board holes or receptacles.
The straight pins, series 35XX, come in three lengths, .250" (6,35mm), .500"( 12,7mm ) and .750"( 19,0mm) and are available in diameters of .060"( 1,52mm ) and .080"(2,03mm).
The standard plating option is 10μ" gold over nickel. As always, other plating options are available upon request.

Hi, Tom here, with the Volkl RTM 80, I'm gonna give this 5/5. I think this can be a real game changer for a lot of skiers. It gets up on edge with little to no effort. Super stable, tons of edge hold through the turn, and its got quite a bit of pop at the finish of the turn. You'd think its a advanced type ski, but its forgiving enough that I think an intermediate can jump on here an really start to develop their technique, and improve as a skier. Just as well as an advanced rider can get on it, an use it as a frontside carving ski.

Q: How can I increase the size of the beamer navigation symbols? I am helping someone to create a beamer presentation and due to some physical disabilities, they would like to be able to use the beamer navigation symbols on a touchscreen to advance slides, rather than a keyboard or mouse. However, the navigation symbols are quite small and difficult to press accurately, so they would like to increase the size of the buttons. I've checked the documentation and other questions here on SE but I haven't been able to find any solutions. Is there a way to increase the size of the buttons or am I out of luck?

A: The template you are looking for is called navigation symbols and is defined in beamerouterthemedefault.sty through \defbeamertemplate*{navigation symbols}{default}. One approach is to create alternative symbols through a redefinition of \insertslidenavigationsymbol & Co. but something way simpler is to use an adjustbox for the whole thing and redefine it. An example to scale it to 80% of the \paperwidth:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{adjustbox}

\defbeamertemplate*{navigation symbols}{enlarged}
{%
    \adjustbox{min width=0.8\paperwidth}{%
        \hbox{%
            \hbox{\insertslidenavigationsymbol}
            \hbox{\insertframenavigationsymbol}
            \hbox{\insertsubsectionnavigationsymbol}
            \hbox{\insertsectionnavigationsymbol}
            \hbox{\insertdocnavigationsymbol}
            \hbox{\insertbackfindforwardnavigationsymbol}%
        }%
    }
}

\begin{document}
\frame{TEST}
\end{document}

In case visual impairment is an issue, you could also redefine the color of the elements to be more prominent, e.g. in black and a dark gray (black!60) by stating:
\setbeamercolor{navigation symbols}{fg=black!60}
\setbeamercolor{navigation symbols dimmed}{fg=black}

The result:
