Diescho's Dictum - Lack of Clarity of Purpose and Roles Lead to Peril [column]
by Professor Joseph Diescho - All Africa Global Media - Tue Feb 25, 8:07AM CST
The ancient Chinese art of war guru, Sun Tzu had an instructive dictum: "To win a war without fighting it is best". This teaching is as true now as it was then. Human beings build and sustain civilizations by norms and values based upon a set of rules and precepts accepted by a critical mass of inhabitants of any given territory on this planet earth. Without these commonly accepted and as a guide, it is impossible to have a sense of a Bonum Commune, the common good and in the absence of this common good chaos, disorder, and lawlessness ensue with an unavoidable outcome: the survival of the fittest - a world wherein the most powerful, the most cunning, the most manipulative, survives better at the expense of the finest and all.

Diescho's Dictum - Lack of Clarity of Purpose and Roles Lead to Peril [column]
by Professor Joseph Diescho - All Africa Global Media - Tue Feb 25, 8:07AM CST
The ancient Chinese art of war guru, Sun Tzu had an instructive dictum: "To win a war without fighting it is best". This teaching is as true now as it was then. Human beings build and sustain civilizations by norms and values based upon a set of rules and precepts accepted by a critical mass of inhabitants of any given territory on this planet earth. Without these commonly accepted and as a guide, it is impossible to have a sense of a Bonum Commune, the common good and in the absence of this common good chaos, disorder, and lawlessness ensue with an unavoidable outcome: the survival of the fittest - a world wherein the most powerful, the most cunning, the most manipulative, survives better at the expense of the finest and all.

The market for IC substrates is expected to benefit from advancements in IC substrate packaging technologies such as stacked packaging, system on package (SoP), wafer-level packaging (WLP) and SiP, among others. In line with the continuous technology innovation in the IC packaging industry to address the ever-increasing demand for superior computing power, as well as optimum line and space utilization in conductors, IC substrates are also expected to witness a parallel rise in innovation. For instance, thin halogen-free IC substrates with superior performance and reduced risk of warpage are poised to witness strong demand.
