International Online Marketing Outlook Russia

Market Opportunity
With the Russian Ruble gaining strength against the dollar, and the recent dramatic rise in average disposable income, Russia is one of the most attractive emerging consumer markets in the world. Russia has far and away the largest population in Europe, at 141 million, which is over 60 million more than second place Germany. And the Russian economy is burgeoning, experiencing nine consecutive years of growth since the financial crisis of 1998, during which the average growth rate has been above 7%.
"The most striking thing [about the Russian economy] is the overall growth of consumer potential," according to an article recently published in Business Week. This comes as no surprise, as a recent Economist article found that never before have Russians shopped or traveled so much. Former President Putin has proclaimed that salaries in Russia are climbing at a rate of 16%, and the business section of Pravada.ru, a Russian news service, found that real wage growth has advanced more than 12% every month in 2008. Even those with low real incomes find most of that to be disposable, as many Russians reside in subsidized housing with low utilities costs. With disposable incomes (and retail trade) growing twice as fast as GDP, Russian domestic productivity has yet to catch up to the sixth largest consumer market in Europe, creating increased demand for imported goods. And this trend does not appear to be slowing down, with the Russian retail market set to grow 84% by 2011 to exceed retail sales in both the UK and Germany.

Best Import Markets
As an emerging middle class with disposable income fuels consumer demand, US exports to Russia increased by 57% in 2007 to over $7.4 Billion. According to the US Department of Commerce, automotive products, household goods, financial services, and retail products are particularly sought after. Additionally, a construction boom has created a need for equipment and materials, high oil prices are driving demand for oil and gas field equipment and services, and computer accessories and electronics are also in demand as the telecommunication industry in Russia continues to take off.

Regulatory and Tariff Climate
Perhaps the greatest challenge for a business looking to expand into the impressive Russian market is navigating the regulatory and tariff landscape. According to an article in Management Today, a UK magazine, the biggest headache for international businesses is the unpredictability and unreliability of the Russian bureaucracy. While import tariffs are not particularly steep, usually ranging from 5 to 20 percent on manufactured goods, non-tariff barriers to trade are a reality in the Russian market. Russian import legislation is often selectively interpreted, intellectual property rights are poorly enforced, discriminatory charges and licensing persist, and specialist firms like the Russia Import Company ensure that small levels of corruption remain. Despite these potential challenges, things are looking up on the regulatory front in Russia. The US and Russia have tentatively agreed to bilateral terms for Russian accession into the World Trade Organization (WTO), and Russia is currently in the process of negotiating further multilateral terms to gain entrance into the WTO. If Russia were to be accepted, their import practices would come under much closer regulation.

Online Marketing Opportunity
Despite an internet penetration rate of only 20.8%, Russia still maintains an internet population of over 29 million, which is currently the fifth largest market in all of Europe. And this number is poised to increase greatly as Russia leads the impressive internet growth throughout Eastern Europe. Internet World Stats cites that Russian internet penetration has grown 850% since 2000, and the trend does not show signs of slowing anytime soon. eMarketer estimates that the number of internet users will grow to around 60 million by 2012, and in the less distant future, Russia will be the second largest internet market in Europe by the end of 2008.
Additionally, both e-commerce and the Russian online ad market are on the rise. The online ad market is projected to double in 2008 to over $685 million and e-commerce has shown annual growth rates of 45-50% in both 2006 and 2007 according to an Economist Intelligence Unit report. While online credit card transactions remain limited by Russians historical distrust of retail banking, this trend appears to be diminishing as retail banking services have been rapidly developing as foreign players arrive. Small, specialized B2C companies currently dominate the e-commerce market in Russia with books, DVDs, and computers catching the greatest proportion of sales, but B2B e-commerce is burgeoning especially in the computer and office-equipment sectors.

Search Engine Profile
While most of the European search engine market is dominated by Google, Russia remains one of the rare countries where a domestic search engine has retained the largest market share. According to a European search engine report by ComScore, Yandex is the leading search property in Russia with a 47.4% market share, followed by "Google sites" at 31.2%, and another domestic search engine, Rambler Media, at 9.7% of the market. In fact, Yandex ranked third in all of Europe in terms of overall search quantity ahead of both Yahoo and Microsoft with 2.2% of all European searches in March 2008, despite being predominant only in Russia. And Yandex is actually looking to expand its scope internationally, as it is set to IPO on Nasdaq this autumn, planning to raise between $1.5 and $2 billion in its initial posting. Despite its efforts to diversify, Yandex remains dedicated to its domestic constituency. Before March 2008, Yandex had only been indexing web sites in Cyrillic languages, and while it has begun to expand its indexing scope, sites in these languages still get the highest rankings. And with Yandex and Rambler dominating the online advertising market in Russia, a businesses wishing to market in Russian would be advised to have some Russian content on their web site.

Summary
Russia is one of the most promising emerging markets in the world, along with the likes of Brazil, India, and China (termed the "BRIC" by Goldman Sachs). With the largest population in Europe, high oil prices driving purchasing power upwards, a quickly expanding internet population, and continuing negotiations to eliminate barriers to trade, despite its challenges Russia is developing into a premier market for businesses looking to expand internationally. Therefore, GLOBALeMARKETER gives Russia a Tier I ranking for global online marketing.

How To Select SAE Single and Multi Grade Tractor Oil

Image source: http://media.noria.com/sites/Uploads/2015/7/22/cf028082-9c32-408b-9922-6c55c0d2dc53_SAE%20chart.jpeg

General maintenance of tractors and agricultural equipment will include an oil change and the question will arise as to which grade or type of oil to use in the engine. The answer to that varies with several factors, including the engine used, the fuel used in the engine, the operational hours of the engine, and most significantly, the ambient temperatures in which the tractor is to operate in.

Engine motor oil lubricants offer several functions in an engine, including lubrication, engine cooling, removal of impurities in the engine, a sealer of small microscopic holes in seals and gaskets, and as an inhibitor of corrosion by preventing rust from forming on the internal engine components. To perform these functions efficiently, appropriate oils must be chosen based on the engine application and the other functions mentioned above.

The first selection factor is the engine fuel itself. Diesel engines are manufactured to higher compression rations and will need better protection that gasoline engines. Thus, the oil chosen must be specially manufactured for gas or diesel engines.
The ambient temperature is one the most significant factors in oil selection.

For above zero Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit, the single (mono) grade SAE 40 oil can be used for temperatures between 10 degrees C (50 degrees F) to 50 degrees C (122 degrees F). The straight SAE 30 can be used between 0 degrees C (32 degrees F) to 40 degrees C (104 degrees F). The single grade SAE 10W winter motor oil can be used between -25 degrees C (-13 degrees F) to 10 degrees C (50 degrees F).

The multi grade oils have a large variation of temperature applications, with the largest variation oil being the SAE 0W-40 multi grade oil, which can be used in temperatures -40 degrees C (-40 degrees F) to 50 degrees C (122 degrees F). Like the SAE 0W-40, the SAE 15W-40 and SAE 10W-40 can both operate to a maximum of 50 degrees C (122 degrees F), however, the minimum temperature of the SAE 14W-40 is approximately -18 degrees C (-2 degrees F), and the SAE 10W-40 minimum is -25 degrees C (-13 degrees F).

The SAE 10W-30 has the same minimum temperature of the SAE 10W-40; however, a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees C (104 degrees F) can be reached with no negative effects.
The SAER 5W-30 has the same maximum as the SAE 10W-30, but is designed for a slightly lower temperature of -30 degrees C (-22 degrees F).

Machines operating in temperature below -40 degrees C (-40 degrees F) will need to use oil thats typically called "Arctic Oil" which has been specifically manufactured for such low temperature applications.

How to Prepare Schedule C, Part III, Cost of Goods Sold

Image source: http://www.principlesofaccounting.com/ART/C17art/schofwip.PNG

If you are a Sole Proprietor, you must file Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business (Sole Proprietorship). And if you are a Sole Proprietor whose business involves sale of a product, you must complete Part III of Schedule C, Cost of Goods Sold. The purpose of this article is to help you with this all-important task, because it is likely that Cost of Goods Sold is one of the largest expenses (if not the largest expense) in your business.

Part III of Schedule C begins on Page 2 of Schedule C, starting with Line 33 and ending with Line 42. Here's a "line-by-line" description of how to fill out each line.

Line 33. This is an information line, labeled "Method(s) used to value closing inventory". There are three choices: a) Cost; b) Lower of cost or market; c) Other. My advice is to use option "a" - Cost. The "closing inventory" (aka "ending inventory") is the value of any product you have remaining on hand at the end of the year. In other words, it represents what you bought that hasn't yet been sold. You will put the dollar amount of ending inventory on Line 41, so more about this in a moment.

Line 34. This is another information line. It's a "yes or no" question: Was there any change in determining quantities, costs, or valuations between opening and closing inventory? My advice: always answer this question with a "No." As long as you remain consistent from year to year and always value your ending inventory at your cost, you can answer this question "No" and move on.

Line 35. Inventory at beginning of year. If this is your first year in business, this will be zero. If this is not your first year in business, this amount will be the amount from Line 41 of your previous year's Schedule C.

Line 36. Purchases less cost of items withdrawn for personal use. Let's break this down into two parts: 1) Purchases. That's easy. Simply add up the cost (at your wholesale cost, not the retail price you intend to sell it) of all your product which was bought during the year. If you didn't use any of these products yourself, you're done. Just put that amount on Line 36. But if you did happen to take some of your product and use it yourself, then the second part of this description comes into play: 2) less cost of items withdrawn for personal use. If you have any product that was withdrawn for personal use, you must subtract that amount from the total amount of product purchased and enter the difference on Line 36.

Line 37-39. Most Sole Proprietors who sell product don't have anything on these 4 lines. These lines are typically used by manufacturers who must report the cost of labor expense (Line 37), Materials and supplies (Line 38), and Other costs (Line 39) directly related to the manufacture of their product. If you are not a manufacturer, just ignore these 3 lines.

Line 40. Add lines 35 through 39. Yup, just do what it says. This will give you the total of all your product costs.

Line 41. This is your ending inventory. Add up the cost (again, at your wholesale cost, not the retail price your customers pay you) of all product on hand at the end of the year.

Line 42. Cost of goods sold. You simply subtract Line 41 from Line 40 and Voila! You've calculate the cost of the product actually sold during the year. Now take this Line 42 amount and transfer it to Line 4.

Electric Motor Repair can mean small or BIG repairs

Image source: http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB14D3SJpXXXXc9XFXXq6xXFXXXl/545-Large-torque-DC-motor-low-noise-small-electric-motors-scientific-experiment-wind-turbine-Micron-motor.jpg

In the world today there are many different electric motors. We all see equipment that is powered by motors, whether you realize it or not. It might be a pool pump that powers water through a swimming pool, to a lathe in a woodshop that is used to make bowls or pencils. These motors typically average in size to about 5 HP. Then there are the larger electric motors that are used like vehicle motors, airplane motors. And youll hear of electric motors commonly used in business today that are commercial and industrial electric motors like those you might find in factories or warehouses and are used to power large machines. Electric motors are a big part of how businesses and factories are powered, but like everything today, there will be times when something goes wrong and you will need to have parts repaired or replaced on the motor.

Electric motor repairs usually need to be done by qualified repairmen or companies that specialize in electric motor repair. If you have an electric motor that is especially large and heavy, you will need to verify with the repair shop that they have the necessary equipment, like cranes, to be able to move your motor.

When your pool pump motor runs dry and burns up you know you can call your pool technician and he will repair the problem for you or if you need an electric motor repaired on any of your woodworking machines, you generally call in a repairman who works on small machines. When larger more powerful motors develop problems and need parts and repair work it often entails a larger scaled motor repair division found in companies that special in industrial and commercial machine motors.

These companies tend to have repairmen and technicians who are skilled in working on both A/C motors and D/C motors as well as motors that have a higher horse power. They will also have all the necessary tools and equipment needed to repair your motor back to a pristine state. Many of the large scale electric motor repair shops will have the ability to put a high build epoxy varnish treatment on repaired items as well as to do a Core Loss test, and equipment that can do vibrations testing on the electric motors and parts repaired.

At times your motor will have become so damaged, often because of too much heat that damages the insulation or because the winding has been cut, that it will need to be rewound. Almost all electric motor repair shops have the equipment required to test for this and can offer you motor rewinding services. Most shops should be experienced enough to be able to rewind all types and sizes of motors, such as for both A/C and D/C motors. With any electric motor repair work done, make sure to check is the shop is a certified warranty repair facility for your type engine manufacturer. If your machine is still under warranty, it is going to be very important that you use a shop that can do certified repair work on your engine.

Effective Techniques For Identifying Likely Process and Assembly Problems

Image source: http://slideplayer.com/6265316/21/images/33/Why+partnerships+Community-campus+partnerships+%E2%80%93+a+strategy+for+social+change.+Establish+missing+but+critical+connections..jpg

Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a method normally used to investigate manufacturing and assembly processes at the system, subsystem or component levels. It is widely used in the automotive industry as well as other industries that concentrate heavily on developing products, especially when human safety is involved. This kind of FMEA focuses primarily on likely failure modes of the process that originate from manufacturing or assembly process deficiencies. Specific attention is offered to any process step that can lead to a safety hazard for either the machine operator working in the manufacturing or assembly of any product as well as end-user of the item.

SAE J1739 offers guidelines on how to carry out a process FMEA. It offers assessment criteria frequently used in the automotive industry for rating the severity (S) of failure effects, along with the likelihood of occurrence (O) as well as the effectiveness of process controls to stop or detect (D) the cause or failure mode before the failure reaches the customer. The Risk Priority Number (RPN) is usually a measure utilized to assess risk and help recognize critical failure modes. It is calculated by multiplying the Severity, Occurrence, and Detection values, RPN = S x O x D. Even though it is true that larger RPN values generally indicate more critical failure modes, this is not always the case. In spite of the RPN value, always pay particular attention to any failure mode that has an effect resulting in a severity of 9 or 10.

A simple process FMEA example within SAE J1739 looks at each step involved in the process of applying wax to the inside of a car door. Each process step is considered and rated in accordance with the risk that it presents. With this example, the 3rd step calls for an operator to utilize a spray wand to manually apply the wax. Through the evaluation, this task is regarded to be the biggest risk area, since if it is not done correctly, then there could be too light or too heavy a layer of wax applied to the inside of the car door. This high-risk step could be the focus of our process FMEA analysis. The FMEA team would then look at ways in which this process step could possibly be improved.

Beyond just the automotive industry, process FMEA is now more commonly employed in the medical and health care industry, and it's also now being utilized in many service industries. Normally here, the goal is to recognize and prioritize processes that are high risk and then conduct a process FMEA on them. For each process the group would identify likely failure modes where the failure modes would represent various ways that a process or sub-process step could fail to give you the anticipated result.

In health care, this could be an analysis of the process steps in place to assure patient safety. For instance, maybe the analysis team would look into the process involved before a surgical procedure, or some of the process steps involved with post operation recovery procedures to find out if improvements might be made.

After failure modes have been determined for the high-risk processes, then the team would find possible effects for each failure mode. For the most significant effects a comprehensive analysis would be conducted to determine the root cause, after which suggestions would be made to redesign the process to either eliminate the failure mode or minimize the risk, if it did indeed occur.

This information is meant to merely introduce you to the technique of process FMEA. For additional process FMEA examples and a more in-depth discussion about this topic, please make use of some of the resources on our website.

Desire and Belief - The First Steps to Success

Image source: http://m.likesuccess.com/quotes/18/876789.png

There seems to be a lot of mysticism surrounding success. People are always wondering, How can I succeed? They look around at the likes of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, or Lance Armstrong, and think that those people have something that they dont. That somehow, they were just born better, in some way that allowed them to succeed. Or maybe, they just got lucky. They think theres no way that they can enjoy success like that. Sound familiar? If youve said these things about yourself, then youre in good company.

Lets bring this concept a little closer to home. The same things can be said about those whove enjoyed success playing an instrument, or writing a book, or acting. So, why even try to succeed? We might as well all pack up our dreams, head to our 9-5 desk jobs, and just try to forget those passions that burn within us. But, Ill ask you this: imagine what you would do if you believed you could do anything, without any doubts?

Ill share with you a particular conversation Ive had with someone who plays the guitar very well, and says he loves it. I asked him why he didnt think about making money playing (in a band, or whatnot), and he said, Its impossible, and that its, just a hobby, even though he clearly would love to be a successful guitarist. He gave up before even trying, because hes a realist. Whether hes an amazing guitarist, or just average, is irrelevant at that point, and Ill tell you why.

Im going to let you in on a secret. You could say its one of the most important secrets behind success, although it applies almost everywhere. It applies if you want to succeed in business, or music, or just excel at something like swimming, or writing, or acting. You, and you alone, are your worst enemy. Many of us will simply tell ourselves we cant do it, or that its very unlikely, or that its not practical. At that point, you have already failed. Youve failed because either youve given yourself a great excuse to walk away after your first failure, or youve convinced yourself to not even try.

What if someone told you that if you were to try hard enough, you could succeed at anything? What then? This is the mental attitude common among those who succeed. They dont stop after one failure. They dont even stop after two failures, or a thousand failures (in the case of Thomas Edison)! They persist! They persist because they know and believe down to their very core that they will succeed. Failure is not an option. Impossible does not exist they have removed it from their dictionary.

Consider Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company, an extremely successful person. He desired to have an eight-cylinder engine where all cylinders were in a single block. The V-8 engine, as we know it today. His team of engineers told him it was impossible. They said that it couldnt be done. He told them to do it anyway, and so they went off to try and figure out how.

Six months went by, and still Fords engineers couldnt figure it out. They once again told him that it was an impossible task. With calm determination, he told those men that he will have his V-8 engine and told them to continue. They worked for yet another six months, and still came back with nothing. They complained to Henry Ford that the task he had set them on could not be done. Again, Henry turned them away saying that success was inevitable, and that they will give him his V-8 engine. Shortly afterwards, they found a way.

Through sheer determination of will, with a mindset bent only on success, Henry Ford weathered more than a year of failure to turn out the eight-cylinder engine of his dreams. We should all learn something from this. This was not luck. This was done by sheer force of will. He knew for a fact in his mind, beyond any doubt, that he would have his V-8 engine, and through his determination convinced those around him, and he forever changed the automotive industry.

If you look into your future, what you do see? Do you imagine yourself enjoying great success, or disastrous failure? Can you even imagine yourself trying? What we imagine matters, because believing is always the first step to success. Without it, there will always be some failure that seems insurmountable.

In fact, giving up after a failure is extremely common. The old saying, Well, at least I tried, does not exist for those bent on success. As a sci-fi cultural icon once said, Do, or do not. There is no try. It is surprising to know that many people give up just before success. I will illustrate one example from the classic book, Think and Grow Rich.

During the gold-rush of the early 1900s, a man named R. U. Darby and his uncle found a vein of gold. After procuring some equipment for the dig, they drilled for the ore and mined a single car of gold. The results from that single car proved that they had one of the richest mines in Colorado. A few more cars would recover their debts, and then they would be rolling in the profits. But, suddenly, the vein dried up! They kept trying to drill, desperate to find the vein once again, but they were met with failure.

Then, they decided to quit.

They sold their equipment to some man at a junk yard for a couple hundred dollars, and went home. Now, the junk yard man was smart, and hired a mining engineer to come and look at the mine. It turned out that this type of mine was special, and that more gold would be found a few more feet away. The engineer was right, and the man made a fortune.

The road to success is paved with failure. Use it. Learn from your failure. Imagine if Steve Jobs had not come back and rescued Apple from the brink of destruction. Their epic failures before he took over would have been enough for most men to never work for that company. Steve Jobs did not have something that you cannot possess! He was determined. Through his unrestrained desire, bordering on obsession, and his sheer force of will he turned that company around. He did not focus on the failures of the company. He saw nothing but success.

You will succeed. The only thing that can possibly stop you is yourself!
