One of the set-aside categories recognized on FedBizOpps is the 8(a) small business. Ask anyone in federal government what categories exist for set asides and this will come to front of mind very quickly. However, ask that same person what the program does and you may get a different answer. That is NOT the reason for this blog (let's deal with it another time).
Here, we are talking about the 8(m) program. 8(m) you ask? That would be the Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside section of the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2000. There are some key differences between the 8(a) and 8(m) programs:
- The 8(a) program allows sole-source set-asides; all 8(m) program set-asides have competition.
- The 8(m) program is limited to certain industries.
- Firm owners do not have to be economically disadvantaged to be in the 8(m) program (unless they are participating as an Economically Disadvantaged WOSB [EDWOSB]).
- There is no minimum amount of time for 8(m) businesses to have been in operation, unlike 8(a).
Since 2000, administrations have had a tough time enacting the program. Finally, in 2011 the Small Business Administration (SBA) kicked off the WOSB set-aside program. The program allows government agencies to classify certain contract opportunities as set-aside for eligible WOSBs. The program enables WOSBs to compete when they normally have found it difficult to compete with large contractors for government business. As with any set-aside, the primary benefit is a smaller pool of competition.
Since 2000, agencies have had a hard time reaching the annual goal of five percent of contracting dollars going to WOSBs because no set-aside program existed like those for SDVOSB or HUBzone companies (more on these another time too). The WOSB set-aside program aims at reducing that burden on agencies.
Under the program, contracting officers can choose to set aside contracts for WOSBs if the contracts meet a certain set of requirements:
- The NAICS code assigned to the solicitation must be in an industry in which WOSBs (for a WOSB set-aside) are substantially underrepresented.
- There is a reasonable expectation that two or more WOSBs will submit an offer (known as the "rule of two").
- The award price, including options, cannot exceed the statutory thresholds of $6.5 million for manufacturing or $4 million for other contracts.
In order to participate, WOSBs must:
- Meet small business size standards for primary NAICS code and contract
- Be at least 51% owned by women who are U.S. citizens
- Have a female owner who:
- holds the highest officer position
- works full-time during normal working hours
- manages the day-to-day operations, and
- makes the long-term decisions for the business.
Although the rules seem stringent on the face, there are no easy small business categories anymore and the pool of contractors in this area can be very small depending on your NAICS code. If you are a woman and you own a business and you can offer something to the government – go for it!

Former NATO Commander talks about global leadership on 'The Zeppos Report'by Nicholas Moore Oct. 30, 2017, 8:01 AM
Before taking the stage at Ingram Hall for the Chancellor's Lecture Series Oct. 3, retired U.S. Navy Adm. James Stavridis talked about his journeys on the seas and beyond on the latest episode of The Zeppos Report.
Stavridis, who now serves as dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, spoke with Vanderbilt Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos about the key moments in his schooling at the U.S. Naval Academy that guided him to a lifelong career at sea.
I wish for everyone that they had a moment like that where they suddenly knew what they wanted to do and they could follow that path, that true north.
"I wish for everyone that they had a moment like that where they suddenly knew what they wanted to do and they could follow that path, that true north," Stavridis said.
Stavridis retired in 2013 as the 16th supreme allied commander at NATO. He is a thought leader on 21st-century geopolitics, focusing on the topic in his newest book, Sea Power: The History and Geopolitics of the World's Oceans (2017, Penguin).
In the podcast, Stavridis and Zeppos navigate their conversation through several global security topics, including cyberthreats and environmental changes in the seaways. They end by discussing America's leading role in education across the globe.
"What America does really well is university education and research," Zeppos said. "And we live in a time where I do have to stand up for this role."
Stavridis resonated with this observation, noting that a flourishing higher education system that educates students from across the globe is crucial to America's role in the world.
"Every day I wake up thinking about how we can connect better into this global ecosystem," Stavridis said.
The podcast is available on SoundCloud, Stitcher, Google Play, iTunes, YouTube and The Zeppos Report website.

Driver CPC Remote Courses – BOOK ONLINE NOW – only £49!
DVSA Advises Suspension of Classroom Delivery; Introduces Option for Remote Training
On 24th March, in response to the current emergency situation, DVSA advised periodic trainers to cease the delivery of classroom based periodic training. DVSA, however, decided to allow approved periodic trainers temporary authorisation to deliver approved courses remotely via digital platforms.
As a long established organisation with a solid reputation for delivering quality training in accordance with JAUPT guidelines approval for remote delivery was quickly granted and from 30th March courses have been running 7 days a week.
Utilising the free to download zoom platform, candidates participate in a 'virtual classroom' from the comfort of their own home. The zoom cloud meetings app is easy to install but we can provide technical assistance if required.
Courses run from 0800 – 1630 each day.
Candidates join the class by clicking on a link emailed to them the evening before each course.
ONLY £49 PER DAY – In these difficult times we have decided to pass on the cost savings (venue costs, instructor travel etc) direct to you. We have reduced our fully inclusive price from our normal classroom based £65 per day to just £49 per day.
Candidate feedback has been extremely positive. In addition to the obvious benefits of price and being able to attend from home, numerous candidates have commented on how participative the sessions were and how comfortable they felt asking questions.
FURLOUGHED EMPLOYEES ENCOURAGED TO TRAIN – Furloughed employees can engage in training, as long as in undertaking the training the employee does not provide services to, or generate revenue for, or on behalf of their organisation or a linked or associated organisation. Furloughed employees should be encouraged to undertake training.
To book your course please visit our Book Online page.
Whether this is your first experience of Driver CPC or you are looking to renew your Driver Qualification Card, we are certain that you will find our courses both informative and enjoyable.
We can confidently say that we are one of the country's biggest Driver CPC training providers, boasting 23 classrooms across Yorkshire, the North West and the Midlands. Since 2008 we've helped over 25,000 drivers acquire their Driver Qualification Card.
Our courses are all individual 'free-standing' modules; you can attend in any order and have the freedom to decide how you want to organise your training – be it one each week, each month or each year. Because we are a JAUPT approved training centre (Centre Approval Number AC02152), all our courses are accredited which means that you can be confident of receiving the very best Driver CPC training.
We understand that you have busy lives so we run our courses six days a week almost every week of the year. With this extensive choice and flexibility, you can choose course dates to fit in around your schedule. You can select individual days or block book a full week's worth of courses – the choice is yours. You can even book by phone, on the morning of a course, providing you are still able to make the start time.
We realise that attending Driver CPC courses is a requirement and not a choice, so we appreciate that you do get the choice in who provides your training. For this reason, we constantly revise and update our courses to ensure that they remain accurate. We also ensure that our instructors are continually improving their skills and knowledge. Virtually all of our instructors hold a minimum of an Operators' CPC qualification, with several holding a DGSA certificate and many are approved ADR instructors or DSA registered LGV instructors.
Our course price is £65 per day – this includes VAT and all DSA upload fees. Your certificates of attendance are provided at the end of each day and your Driver Qualification card will be automatically dispatched to you by DVSA. Visit the Course Dates page to see the full list of CPC courses available.
On-site Driver CPC Courses
If you have large numbers of drivers in your company, we can make it easy for you to train them altogether. We provide on-site training for just £35 + VAT + DSA fees per candidate (minimum 10 candidates per course), with discounts available for larger candidate numbers. Our onsite training is available 7 days a week to fit in with your company schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to sit the modules in order?
No – you can sit the modules in any order. To get the most from your training, we do recommend that you attend each of the five different modules so that you keep up to date on all aspects of driving.
£65 per module seems cheap – are there any hidden extras?
No, the price you see is the price you pay – this covers the cost of the course, VAT and the upload fees. It also includes as much tea, coffee and biscuits as you need!
How long does the course last?
Registration begins at 7.30am with the course starting promptly at 8am and ending at 4pm. There are morning, lunch and afternoon breaks but each course must have 7 hours' worth of training.
Do I have to sit an exam?
No! To gain your Driver Qualification Card (DQC), you just need 35 hours of course attendance so no exams are necessary.
I've been driving for years – why do I need to 'go back to school'?
Driver CPC is designed to refresh your understanding of the main rules and regulations and to inform you of any changes happening in the transport industry. Whilst we know you have a lot of experience in all aspects of driving, it is always good to update your knowledge and brush up on important issues such as drivers' hours. Our courses are designed to be interactive, meaning that you get the opportunity to talk about different issues with fellow drivers.
Understandably there was an initial reluctance from drivers to engage with the Government's introduction of Driver CPC. Some drivers were unsure about a return to the classroom and their ability to sit for an entire day! We have had a number of people book just for one day, to then realise that with regular breaks (tea / coffee / biscuits provided) and the opportunity to mingle with fellow drivers, the experience isn't so bad. Would it be too far to suggest some sceptics have even enjoyed the courses?
General Feedback
Drivers who attend our courses have been genuinely impressed by the professional manner in which the courses are delivered and the suitability of our training venues. We work hard to ensure the course content is relevant and informative, meaning that every driver leaves the course with a better understanding of their industry.

Interferometers (General)
Multiple Beam Interference
The Fabry-Perot Interferometer and Etalon
In 1881 the American physicist A.A. Michelson constructed the interferometer used in the Michelson-Morley experiment.(see figure) The Michelson interferometer and its modifications are used in the optical industry for testing lenses and prisms, for measuring index of refraction, and for examining minute details of surfaces (microtopographies). The instrument consists of a half-silvered mirror that divides a light beam into two equal parts, one of which is transmitted to a fixed mirror and the other of which is reflected to a movable mirror. By counting the fringes created as the mirror is moved, the amount of movement can be precisely determined. Michelson also developed the stellar interferometer, capable of measuring the diameters of stars in terms of the angle, as small as 0.01" of an arc, subtended by the extreme points of the star at the point of observation.
In 1896 the British physicist Lord Rayleigh described the Rayleigh interference refractometer, still widely used for determining the refractive indices of gases and liquids. It is a split-beam instrument, like the Michelson interferometer. One beam serves as a reference, while the other is passed first through a material of known index of refraction and then through the unknown. The index of refraction of the unknown can be determined by the displacement of its interference fringes from those of the known material.
The Fabry interferometer (variable-gap interferometer) was produced in 1897 by the French physicists Charle Fabry. It consists of two highly reflective and strictly parallel plates called an etalon. Because of the high reflectivity of the plates of the etalon, the successive multiple reflections of light waves diminish very slowly in intensity and form very narrow, sharp fringes. These may be used to reveal hyperfine structures in line spectra, to evaluate the widths of narrow spectral lines, and to redetermine the length of the standard meter.
Fizeau-Laurent surface interferometry system:The Fizeau-Laurent surface interferometer reveals departures of polished surfaces from a plane. The system was described by the French physicist A.-H.-L. Fizeau in 1862 and adapted in 1883 into the instruments now widely used in the optical industry. In theFizeau-Laurent system, monochromatic light (light of a single color) is passed through a pinhole and illuminates a reference plane and a workpiece directly below it. The light beam is perpendicular to the workpiece. By maintaining a slight angle between the surface of the workpiece and the surface of the plane of reference, fringes of equal thickness can be seen through a reflector placed above them. The fringes constitute a contour map of the surface of the workpiece, enabling an optical polisher to see and to remove defects and departures from flatness.
The Twyman-Green
interferometer, an
adaptation of the Michelson instrument introduced in 1916 by the
English electrical engineer Frank Twyman and the English chemist
Arthur Green, is used for testing lenses and prisms. It uses a
point source of monochromatic light at the focus of a quality
lens. When the light is directed toward a perfect prism, it
returns to a viewing point exactly as it was from the source, and
a uniform field of illumination is seen. Local imperfections in
the prism glass distort the wave front. When the light is
directed toward a lens backed by a convex mirror, it passes
through the lens, strikes the mirror, and retraces its path
through the lens to a viewing point. Imperfections in the lens
result in fringe distortions.

If the two inner surfaces of the plates shown in Figure are coated so as to make them reflect 80 percent or more of the incident light, then the resulting interference pattern will be caused by the superposition of many beams.
The below figure shows an arrangement for producing the fringes of constant inclination by multiple-beam interference. The amplitudes of successive beams are proportional to r, r squared, r cubed, etc. (r is the ratio of the intensity of the reflected light to that of the incident light for one reflection). The phase differences are , 2, 3, etc., in which
= (4e cos)/.
These fringes are much sharper than those obtained with two-beam interference. With a large number of beams the intensity is extremely high when they are all in phase ( = 0), but, even when the phase difference between any two successive beams (e.g., the first and the second) is quite small, the phase difference between the first and, say, the thirtieth beam is so large that the later beams in the series are in opposition to the earlier beams. Thus the intensity is relatively small except when the value of is close to one of the values 2p (in which p is an integer). Multiple-beam fringes of constant inclination were used by Charles Fabry and Alfred Pérot in France for resolution of spectral lines having only small differences of wavelength. Multiple-beam fringes of constant thickness have been used by an English physicist, Samuel Tolansky, to detect surface irregularities down to less than a nanometre.
Back to Top
Until the development of all-dielectric multi-layer reflection coatings, which have low light-loss coefficients, the Fabry - Perot interferometer had very little application to the spectrometry of faint light sources, although it was used by Fabry and Buisson as early as 1911 on the relatively bright Orion nebula, though with lossy metallic layers.
The most common form that it has taken is with two plane parallel reflecting layers. However, there is an interesting spherical version which is not widely used. Here the more common version will be emphasised:
The Fabry-Pérot interferometer consists of two reflecting mirrors that can be either curved or flat.In the Fabry-Perot interferometer the seperation between two semi-silvered glass plates can be varied. One plate remains stationary with respect to the frame of the instrument whilst the other is mounted on a nut threaded on an accurate screw.
The adjustment of the Fabry -Perot interferometer is in many ways similar to that of Michelson. In the Fabry - Perot interferometer, the multiple beam interference fringes from a plane parallel plate illuminated near normal incidance are used. The inner surfaces are coated with partially transparent films of high reflectivity and are parallel, so that they enclose a plane parallel plate of air. The plates themselves are made slightly prismatic, in order to avoid disturbing effects due to reflections at the outer uncoated surfaces.
Only certain wavelengths of light will resonate in the cavity: the light is in resonance with the interferometer if and only if m( /2) = L, where L is the distance between the two mirrors, m is an integer, and is the wavelength of the light inside the cavity. When this condition is fulfilled, light at these specific wavelengths will build up inside the cavity and be transmitted out the back end for specific wavelengths. By adjusting the spacing between the two mirrors, the instrument can be scanned over the spectral range of interest.
The fringe profile may be plotted once a value of the reflection coefficient is known. Such a plot, for several choices of r, is plotted by employing some numerical analysis via Pascal Programming Language:
A plot of Fabry-Pérot fringe profile for different reflection coefficients
Consider a narrow, monochromatic beam from an extended source point making an angle (in air) of with respect to the optical axis of the system. The single beam produces multiple coharent beams in the interferometer, and the emerging set of parallel rays are brought together at some point P in the focal plane of the converging lens L. The nature of the superposition at P is determined by the path difference between successive parallel beams; taking the refraction index for air as 1, the condition for brightness is
2t cos=m.
Other beams from different points of the source but in the same plane and making the same angle with the axis satisfy the same path difference and also arrive at P. With t fixed, the above equation is satisfied for certain angles , and the fringe system is the familiar concentric rings due to the focusing of fringes of equal inclination. When collimating lens is used between source and interferometer, every set of parallel beams entering the etalon must arise from the same source point. Here again, I used Pascal to plot the resultant profile:
A figure showing the circular fringe pattern
When two wavelength components are present in the incident light, the Fabry-Perot interferometer gives a double set of circular fringes, each set belonging to one of the wavelengths. Such a plot for two wavelength components of comparible irradiance is shown in the figure. Although the two peaks are shown seperately (the dashed lines), only the sum of the two, which follows the solid line enveloping the overall shape, is measured. Clearly, if the wavelengths are very close, also the fringes are close, and it may not be possible to distinguish two seperate peaks in the measured irradiance. The minimum wavelength seperation that can be resolved by the instrument depends on one's ability to detect the dip in the measured pattern between peaks.
The Fabry-Perot interferometers have a wide range of applications. All these applications, however, are either based on the study of the fine structure lines, or the comparison of wavelengths as discussed under the title "resolution", above. When a Fabry-Perot interferometer is illuminated by some quasi-monochromatic light, the intensity distribution of the transmitted light differs from its standart form and yields some information about the spectral distribution of the light used. If we imagine that their wavelength difference is gradually increased, and providing they do not differ too greatly in intensity, their presence will eventually be evident from the presence of two mutually displaced sets of maxima in the interference pattern. The components are then said to be resolved by the interferometer. In this way, Fabry and Perot were able to observe directly the fine structure of spectral lines which Michelson could only infer, and the Fabry-Perot interferometer has since played a dominant role in this branch of spectroscopy.
You may have a glance at "hot lines" in the main page, i.e. for the applications of Fabry-Perot interferometers in Astronomy etc.

It's 4/20 again, Oh boy! I'm not big on celebrating 4/20 as a holiday. I mean, if somebody hands me a joint, any day of the year, I'll happily smoke it, but as a holiday, 4/20 comes up a day late and a dollar short, if you ask me.
April 19th is the day to celebrate. Think about it. The psychedelic revolution was born on April 19 1943. April 19 is "Bicycle Day," the day Albert Hoffman first discovered the psychoactive properties of LSD, and took his famous bike ride home from the Sandoz lab in Switzerland. Also, the Battle of Lexington and Concord took place on April 19, the first major battle in the American Revolution. April 19th is a day to remember that sometimes revolution is a good thing, and some things are worth fighting for. That's something to celebrate.
What happened on April 20th that has anything at all to do with marijuana? Nothing. Nothing at all.
What did happen on April 20th? What is the most significant thing to happen, in the whole history of civilization, on April 20? Adolf Hitler was born. Remember him? What a guy. He cast his shadow over the entire 20th Century, and remains an iconic symbol of pure evil to this day. That's not something I want to celebrate.
Hitler's birthday should be marked by a somber day to remember the horrible things the Nazis did, and to remember that people did those things. April 20 is a day to remember that at one time, Hitler was a baby, just like millions of other babies, and his mother loved him and took care of him and sent him to school, and he grew up to become Der Fuhrer of the Third Reich, and to instigate the most ghoulish bloodbath of a blood-soaked century. April 20th is a day to remember that any little baby can grow up to become another Hitler someday, and that's something every perspective parent should think about.
Anyway, the fact that Adolf Hitler was born on on April 20th hangs like a pall over the entire day, making it unfit to celebrate. Unless, of course, you are a fascist. Fascists love to celebrate Hitler's Birthday. If you ask me, fascists are behind the whole business of celebrating April 20th as some kind of pot holiday. I think the whole 420 phenomena is part of a CIA CoIntelPro disinformation campaign designed to derail the revolutionary elements of the cannabis counter-culture.
The whole 420 back-story seems pretty dubious. Supposedly, some Bay Area high-school kids concocted 420 as a code word for getting high, because it took exactly 4:20 seconds for them to walk to their favorite place to smoke herb. That doesn't make sense because: A, Some kids are faster than others. B, Who times their walks like that? And C, Kids would compete to see who could get there faster, so 420 would eventually become 418, 415, or even 412. Within a few years, some particularly fast stoners would have whittled it down to 3:58.
Also, consider this: All over the country, people constantly coin new code-words for marijuana, ranging from "bass strings" to "turf." all of these terms must enjoy a certain amount of popularity to be effective, but all of them lose their "cool" once you hear them on TV. Code-words, after all, have to be changed once the enemy has broken the code. 420 on the other hand just seems to get more popular the more banal it becomes. Speaking of things that get more popular the more banal they sound…
Look at where this story comes from. Apparently, some of these apocryphal 420 kids were friends of Phil Lesh, the bass player for the Grateful Dead. Supposedly, 420, as a code-word for marijuana, arose within the Grateful Dead subculture. That story doesn't check-out either. If you saw the Dead back in the '70s, you never heard the term 420, at least I don't recall hearing it when I saw them back in '78, when I saw them at Music Hall in Cleveland, a great venue that only seats 3,000 people, and the show didn't sell out.
But a few years later, the Grateful Dead sure did. At the height of Reagan's War on Drugs, suddenly, this washed-up Woodstock era band of drug-addled geezers had a smash hit on MTV. Next thing you know, the Grateful Dead were the biggest tour on the planet, selling-out stadiums and arenas all over the country, and all over the country, millions of drugged-up, hippied-out, middle-class white kids started calling marijuana, 420. Coincidence? I don't think so.
I've never trusted the Grateful Dead since then, and I assumed they were a front for the CIA. Here's why: First, they were the least revolutionary of the psychedelic rock bands. The Grateful Dead didn't drop LSD in Nixon's coffee machine, like Grace Slick did,
…and they didn't set things on fire, like Jimi Hendrix did.
They just took drugs and played music. That made the Dead safe for consumption, in the eyes of the CIA. That's why the CIA used the Grateful Dead to derail, demotivate and lobotomize the psychedelic revolution.
By combining pitifully low doses of LSD with excessive amounts of stoned-out bluegrass Americana music, the Grateful Dead turned America's disaffected youth into mindless party animals incapable of original thought, let alone revolutionary action. The Grateful Dead offer nothing remotely revolutionary, original, or even interesting in their music. Instead, with the CIA's help, they threw a huge wet blanket of blandness over the imagination of a whole generation.
The whole point of the Grateful Dead was to stop people from experimenting with music and drugs, and instead, make sure that whenever people found drugs, the CIA could drown them in a murky sea of rehashed country-western, bluegrass, folk-rock pap. The Grateful Dead Disneyfied the psychedelic experience, and Jerry Garcia was a stooge who, wittingly or unwittingly, helped the CIA control the minds of America's youth.
Today, people all over America are celebrating Adolf Hitler's Birthday by smoking a joint while they listen to dumb redneck music. That's how effectively the CIA used the Grateful Dead to subdue and incapacitate the psychedelic revolution. You may think this theory sounds like delusional paranoia, but do you have a better explanation?
I didn't think so.

How does your bar or club rank in the industry? Nightclub & Bar opens the 2012 Top 100 survey today, beginning the process of identifying the nightclub, bar and lounge venues leading the industry in total revenue. Developed in partnership with Chicago-based hospitality market research firm Technomic Inc., and sponsored by Malibu rum, the 2012 Nightclub & Bar Top 100 is the only revenue-based ranking of nightlife venues.
The survey — available here and at Nightclub.com — is open to all nightclub, bar and lounge operators in the United States until Dec. 1. The 2012 Top 100 list will be released in early February 2012 and published in all Nightclub & Bar media outlets. Those venues earning a place in the 2012 Top 100 also will be honored at a lavish event during the Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas, March 12-14, 2012.
"We are really excited to see which clubs and bars will be new to the Top 100 and which have the staying power to hold onto their spots," says Donna Hood Crecca, Publisher and Editorial Director of Nightclub & Bar. "The venues that make the list have powerful bragging rights in the industry, considering that they're succeeding in bringing in the crowds and generating strong sales in an extremely tough economy. Nightlife is a challenging business, and these operators are savvy, smart pros who not only keep their venues fresh and exciting but also run their businesses well."
More than 1,000 operators from across the nation took the survey last year, and the list featured top nightclubs and bars from the major markets as well as outstanding venues from locations around the country. In addition to revenue information, the survey also yields segmentation and performance benchmark information, providing insights on this important aspect of the on-premise industry. To view the 2011 Top 100 click here or visit Nightclub.com.
"Over the past several years we've been delighted to partner with Nightclub & Bar to develop the top 100 list," says David Henkes, Vice President & On-premise Practice Leader at Technomic. "We're excited to begin the 2012 Top 100 process with the operator survey, and are looking forward to having the venues on the final list showcased at the 2012 NCB Show."
For questions relating to the Top 100 initiative, please contact Donna Hood Crecca, Nightclub & Bar Publisher and Editorial Director, via email at [email protected] or by phone at 631-265-3839.

NXP Semiconductors is getting a lot of attention these days.
Late last month, reports surfaced that Qualcomm, the top mobile chip vendor in the world, was in talks to buy the semiconductor maker for as much as $30 billion, a move that would essentially put Qualcomm behind Intel as the second largest processor company.
A week later, there were other reports that Intel and Texas Instruments also were looking at buying NXP, a company itself almost a year after buying Freescale Semiconductor for about $12 billion, part of a larger consolidation trend within the processor industry.
This past week brought a new report from Bloomberg that after speculation about Intel and Texas Instruments, Qualcomm was the only company still in negotiations with NXP and that the two companies were moving toward an agreement. Citing unnamed sources "with knowledge of the matter," Bloomberg said NXP executives were looking for a per-share price of around $120, while their counterparts at Qualcomm were targeting about $110 per share, giving the deal a price of about $35 billion.
Further reading
The sources said the two sides were coming closer together in their demands, an indication that both were pushing to get the deal done. NXP has been working with Qatalyst Partners in its efforts to find a buyer.
There's been no lack of acquisition activity in the chip market over the past two years as vendors have looked to move beyond such legacy spaces as PCs and mobile devices to push into such emerging markets as the internet of things (IoT), autonomous vehicles, virtual reality and augmented reality, and data center systems, from servers, storage appliances and networking gear to converged and hyperconverged solutions.
That was the driver behind NXP buying Freescale, a move that created a $10 billion company and gave NXP a larger presence in such markets as the IoT, general-purpose microcontrollers (MCUs), smart cities and automotive IT.
"The car industry is clearly changing in the next five to 10 years, much more than it's changed in the last 50 years," Kurt Sievers, executive vice president and general manager of NXP's automotive business, said after the deal closed in December 2015. "In combination, we are a powerhouse in the automotive industry. … We will make cars sense, think and act."
That makes NXP a target for other chip makers, according to Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst with Moor Insights and Strategy.
"What's attractive about in NXP in a situation like this is they have a lot of paying customers in areas of interest that a lot of other people don't," Moorhead told eWEEK.
There not only is the automotive IT space, but also in mobile, where its Bluetooth technology is in the Apple iPhone, Near Field Communication (NFC) and sensors, he said. Qualcomm is making a strong push into the autonomous vehicle market, and would like to add NFC capabilities to its networking portfolio, which includes LTE and WiFi. A deal for NXP also would add to the chip maker's bill of materials (BOM) in smartphones.
Qualcomm is seeing tablet sales fall and smartphone revenues slow as the market matures, and officials are moving the company in a range of new areas, including self-driving cars, drones, servers, artificial intelligence and the IoT, a space that promises to dwarf mobile devices. Qualcomm in 2014 bought British chip maker CSR for $2.5 billion to strengthen its position in the IoT.
"A billion smartphones is great, but tens of billions of IoT things is really great," Moorhead said.

Richard DeMillo wants to lift the veil on the inner workings of public universities. The former Hewlett-Packard executive has split his career between university administration and corporate hierarchy. Over the years, he's noticed a few things about how these organizations tend to function.
His latest book, "Abelard to Apple: The Fate of American Colleges and Universities," charts the legacy of modern higher education, from 12th century scholar Peter Abelard to the current proliferation of online courses. But this is no history lecture. DeMillo's book challenges public universities to either adjust their models or be left behind.
"Since medieval times, the natural tendency of the university is to think more about their own value systems and professors' needs than the needs of society," says DeMillo, from his office at Georgia Tech. "I think it's time to start thinking about what a university offers to the public. There's a feeling among leaders that they have to compete with schools above them in rankings. That means they have to become research institutions and spend lots of money on buildings. But is that serving the student?"
DeMillo senses that the changing economic landscape is forcing universities to do some soul-searching.
"There is an elite band of universities that can afford to set their own agendas. And there's some startup higher education organizations that are experimenters," he says. "But in the middle you have some 3,000 institutions that don't have international brands or big endowments, and many are clinging to an outdated model where they hold all the cards. But now you can get the equivalent course material for free online, so it's time to rethink why they can ask a family to pony up so much money."

S and I went for tea to a friend's place on Sunday. They live on this gorgeous farm, about 30 minutes away from the city, and right on the banks of the river Mahi. Its a gorgeous place, so quiet and peaceful. They do a lot of organic farming and even supply fresh milk which is completely untouched. I haven't tried it yet but I am looking forward to it. In case you need more information about the farm and its products, the link is here.
His wife had made an absolutely delicious banana cake. It had no frosting but was so moist and delicious! I knew I had to make it.. She was gracious enough to share the recipe with me and I was super excited to try it out. It helps that I had extremely over ripe bananas which is exactly what I needed for this recipe. I decided to make it in a loaf tin so that I can send it to Bombay easily. Here are some pictures of it fresh out of the oven! Recipe follows.
Delicious Banana Cake
Recipe from a very gracious friend!
1 1/3rd cup of all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 to 5 bananas, peeled and mashed
2/3rd cup melted butter (Use unsalted preferably)
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp honey
50 gms chopped walnuts (optional)
50gms cashew nut powder (optional)
1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
To Serve:
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder
Preheat an oven to 200 degrees celsius or 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a 8 1/2″ by 4 1/2″ loaf tin, with greaseproof paper and grease it lightly with some olive oil or butter
Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and leave aside.
In another bowl, cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the beaten eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. If using, add the chopped walnuts and the cashew nut powder at this point. Add the honey and give the mixture a stir. I added 1 tsp of ground cinnamon to the batter to give it an extra cinnamon flavor.
Fold in the flour gently at this point until it is just moistened.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake it in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the loaf tin for 7 minutes and then turn out onto to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the bread is cooling, mix the powdered sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Before serving, ensure that the banana bread is completely cooled. Dust the bread with the sugar and cinnamon mixture and cut into slices to serve!
This is an absolutely delicious accompaniment to tea and coffee and is very child-friendly. Since it doesn't have any frosting, it is relatively lower in fat. You can add less sugar if you wish to cut back on calories and want to have a slightly less sweet bread. This bread will freeze well and can stay for up to a month in the freezer. If you wish to unfreeze it, allow it to sit out for about an hour and a half and pop it into an oven at the 'warm' setting at 100 degrees Celsius for about an hour. Cover the bread in foil before popping into the oven.
Happy baking everyone!

There is no rioting in the NE , The riots are in part of one district Kokrajhar , Assam.
The North East is 7 continuous states in the North East of India + Sikkim.
You would expect news media (even group blogs) to get basics right. I hope they change the head line.
I also hope that someone responsible – and i hope that firstpost.com has someone responsible in charge – spanks whoever put out that headline.
A long time ago, when I was studying for my Masters at City, my group was in a Seminar on International Relations. The lecturer was talking about post the post colonial Britain, and said something about Afro Caribbean people. a classmate of mine (from Barbados) drawled from the back seat – "pardon me Peter, what is Afro Caribbean – we are either African or Caribbean and there is an ocean between us. Unless you want to lump all blacks (her word not mine) together". That class ended in chaos.
Editors in India have to erase the word North East from their lexicon. the states have nothing in common but geography. And, Geography means a rats ass in this word. Continuous use of that word to represents ignorance, bigotry and deep rooted callousness.

deadlinux posted a topic in Let's Play PavillionHere's the first video in a new series I'm starting, where I want to focus on some of these modpacks in the launcher that aren't in the limelight:
Deadlinux Plays - Technic Pack is Hard
deadlinux replied to deadlinux's topic in Let's Play PavillionI've been on hiatus lately, but that has been remedied. I added a soon to be four-part episode catching up on my progress with building my mountain into more of a home, and getting some of the major mods working. Specifically: Redpower2 sorting machines - the easy way EE, Buildcraft, Industricalcraft -- basic stuff Thaumcraft -- a beginning into researching in Thaumcraft2 Mystcraft -- and how to get jumpstarted in Thaumcraft research Check out the playlist below. I've got two more videos coming this evening to add to my "Technic Pack is Hard!" let's play. Enjoy!
Deadlinux Plays - Technic Pack is Hard
deadlinux replied to deadlinux's topic in Let's Play PavillionNew video posted ... like, uh... maybe a few days ago? Anyway, I've got a mining turtle up and running, and I LOVE IT. Also, crossbows. Fun Stuff. Mining Turtles are Godlike -- Technic is HARD Ep. 10
Revision -- How do you approach changes to your _________?Also, I'm curious. When you redesign for a different purpose than what was originally intended, what steps do you take? (Versus a microrevision of swapping one type of wooden planks for another)
Revision -- How do you approach changes to your _________?Yes, this actually does. I was hoping that some would jump in with their experience, rather than needing a rewording. Again, I'm applying the term "revision" in a loose way, so if a mod sees fit to move it to off-topic, please do so. However, I think most Tekkies (minecrafters using these mods, etc.) revise their designs regularly, but perhaps not thinking in these categories? ... Crap, that doesn't clear it up much ... Does it?
Yes, yes, the Technic Launcher works fine in Linux, 32 and 64 bit. Now, what did you want?
More modpacksNo. Please don't add more modpacks... I still have yet to make rails in railcraft, research a "good" item in thaumcraft, program a computer in computercraft, ... or do _anything_ with Steve's carts... I'm so behind.... i need more time, TIME!
Revision -- How do you approach changes to your _________?I'm hoping this fits under general. I have a discussion question: I teach English composition at a state university (although some may question how ...) and when talking about macrorevision vs microrevision (filthy rhetorical terms), it hit me: How do Minecrafters (specifically "Tekkies") approach revision? In other words, in your playstyle, when you need to change/revise something, what are your experiences when you have to do: Macrorevision -- changes to purpose, structure, support, style, or even audience (like with something on a Tekkit server, for example?) Microrevision -- changes to details, window dressings, small additions, minor upgrades (i.e. regular chest -> crystal chest, etc.) Since many of the mods included in the various packs can produce complicated and enormous builds, I think that this community may produce more interesting answers than a vanilla minecraft forum, but I could be wrong. Your experiences and stories are needed here!

deadlinux replied to deadlinux's topic in Let's Play PavillionSome preparation required -- I actually THOUGHT about what I might need in the Nether before I traveled, I talk about how to find squids....

Damn! Check out the playlist here:
Deadlinux Plays - Technic Pack is Hard
deadlinux posted a topic in Let's Play PavillionThis is something I should've done a long time ago ... Deadlinux Plays -- Technic Pack is HARD! (youtube playlist) ( ) Hello! I'm Deadlinux, and I've been throwing some videos in a playlist of me playing the Technic Pack (through use of the Technic Launcher, of course), but only on Hard mode. Not HARDCORE mode, I'm not that silly. Also, I do experiment a lot with the Technic Launcher in Linux, and when I figure out a way to record (in a decent quality!) in Linux, I will be posting from there. (But heck, I'm still fighting recording in Win7 ... not a windoze fan...) However, there are some quid pro quos. -- I'm an idiot -- generally speaking there's usually an easier way to do what I'm trying to do, and I don't do that. But then pain and suffering is essential to a good game of Minecraft, yeah? -- I'm an old man -- married with children and the whole bit. And I'm playing Minecraft just like every other guy my age! Talk about down to earth -- you don't get more real than that, eh? -- I'm not a genius -- I watch a lot of the other really good LPer's (direwolf20, odedex, docm77, etc) who do amazing things ... and generally make us normal people want to go back to Vanilla. HENCE, I'll often create new worlds just to find new ways of getting started, rather than becoming completely OP. Does that make sense? For example, why else would there be a knife in Balkor's Weapon Mod if you don't eventually end up fighting a werewolf with it, and losing? I don't get along with Werewolves... I really love the fact that Technic Launcher exists -- I love playing these mods, I love watching other people play, and generally all things related. I wouldn't really play Minecraft if it wasn't for all the work going into the Technic Pack, et al. This is my way of saying thanks. Please hop in and check it out -- I currently only play around with the Technic Pack, but I do want to dabble in the Yogsbox. I'm really not interested in Tekkit or Hack/Slash/Mine for recording purposes, so if you're looking for that stuff, you won't find it. I try to post once a week, so there should be some fun stuff to watch! Thanks, and see you soon. Cheers! p.s. if you're interested in the whole channel, you'll find it here: Deadlinux Archives (www.youtube.com/users/comdrdawn)

The Red Bowie Blood Orange Cocktail
If there's one alcohol this office never tires of, it's gin. We keep our bar cart stocked with a variety ranging from floral to piney and are constantly looking for inventive, seasonal recipes.
It was recently brought to our attention that blood oranges are not only in season here in Sacramento, but that we're home to some of the absolute best blood oranges in the nation. A 100-year old family farm, Twin Peaks Orchards offers sustainably grown vegetables, canned goods, jams, olive oil, honey and – blood oranges. Twin Peaks generously provided a handsome bag of fragrant Moros and we immediately set out to find a recipe that would compliment our, well, gin obsession. We call it: The Red Bowie.
The Red Bowie consists of Elderflower liqueur, ginger ale, lime juice, blood orange and thyme for garnish. Anchoring the libation is Darjeeling Gin, a carefully curated composition of rare and unusual botanicals, resulting in a unique mouth-feel. The sweetness of the drink can be controlled by increasing or decreasing the amount of Elderflower liqueur, making this the an enjoyable drink for all. Cheers!

Spain Back to the Trouble Zone
There's a mess of news out of Europe this morning, little of it good for the simmering euro-zone crisis. As a result, our favorite indicators of peril–Spanish and Italian 10-year bond yields–are jumping up in a dangerous direction.
The Spanish 10-year yield now sits at 6.65%, according to Tradeweb, up 18 basis points on the day. Earlier in the morning, it touched 6.72%. Italian yields are at 6.10%, up 21 basis points.
What's notable about this spike? For Spain, 6.72% was its late-November peak, just before the European Central Bank's giant Long-Term Refinancing Operations flooded the markets with liquidity and allowed banks (mostly if not exclusively Spanish) to buy government debt and drag yields back down.
The ECB lent €1 trillion in the LTROs; looks like it bought them six months of calm.
It's over now…

On Tour with Kindness
"There's always a way to help those in need, regardless of what resources you may have, and there's always an opportunity to channel kindness into the lives of others."
-Taylor, Indianapolis Channel Kindness Award Winner
In 2017, when their co-founder Lady Gaga traveled the US on her Joanne World Tour, Born This Way Foundation followed along on their Channel Kindness Tour, working to inspire and promote Lady Gaga's vision of kindness and bravery in each community they visited.
In eight cities, Born This Way Foundation partnered with Peace First to launch the first-ever Channel Kindness Awards, designed to celebrate, empower, and inspire brave young leaders to put kindness into action.
The Channel Kindness Awards were created based on the belief that young people can create a kinder world right now -- not sometime in the future.
Born This Way Foundation issued the challenge -- and young people rose to it.
They wrote cards for refugees in Boston. They organized donations for LGBTQ homeless youth in Salt Lake City. They put on an age-inclusive, trans-inclusive drag show in Dallas. They collected books with diverse protagonists in St. Louis.
Together, the compassionate, courageous, powerful winners of the Channel Kindness Awards organized tens of thousands of acts of kindness in their communities.
And they're just getting started.
Meet the Winners from each city:
Tacoma, WA Channel Kindness Award Winner: Kirah, 17
Chicago, IL Channel Kindness Award Winner: Shay, 20
Boston, MA Channel Kindness Award Winner: Max, 14

The Four Branches Course 2018
Course Introduction
The Four Branches of the Mabinogi is an old Welsh classic that was first written down about 900 years ago. It appears to be a collection of traditional tales that probably originated in the oral storytelling tradition of the early Welsh. The only real certainty is that they were written down by some talented, but unknown, author.
The Four Branches are set in a past where the Welsh aristocracy still claim the Crown of London, and consider the whole of the island to be their sovereign territory. Historically speaking, this would have been sometime between 350 and 500AD. The Four Branches could preserve one of the oldest versions of Britain to have survived.
As a result, the tales can tell us much about what Britain was, is and could still be. They explore in great detail the possibilities and problems that arise for those who seek to claim dominion in her lands.
As one would expect of such tales, The Four Branches contain some quite traditional ideas. One of the most common is the idea of aristocracy and inherited nobility, an idea that sits at the heart of many cultures to this day.
But even though The Four Branches are almost exclusively concerned with the Welsh upper class, what's surprising about these 'nobles' is that their aristocracy (status through lineage) rarely has anything to do with what kind of people they are. The tales suggest nobility isn't something that's inherited from your family or determined by your sex.
The nobility of The Four Branches is something that arises from personal integrity and wisdom, not family genetics. More often than not it's the nobility of heart, not the nobility of inherited status, that's put in service of the land and her people.
It's obvious when characters diverge from the path of nobility because they always cause suffering, and not always their own. When the 'nobility' fail to act from a nobility of heart, the repercussions can be apocalyptic in magnitude.
So often in the tales the positive lesson is brought into relief by a negative example. Ignorant aristocrats inevitably make bad, blinkered choices, and when they do, the right course of action is stressed by its absence. It's for this reason that The Four Branches can be read as lessons for civil life, a life in a civilised Britain.
The Four Branches Course 2018
This is the 5th incarnation of the Four Branches course, and each successive version has built upon the foundations of its predecessor. That's no less true for the 2018 version, as the audio lectures are based on material from The Magic of Meaning courses of 2016 and 2017.
But this isn't just a re-hash of what was explored in those earlier courses. This current version takes a closer look at how the tales present nobility, aristocracy, sovereignty, and ultimately the myth of Britain herself.
As with the earlier versions, the main objective of the course is to stimulate interpretation, to feel out the contours of the myths contained in The Four Branches of the Mabinogi, and attempt to apprehend the old truths concealed in its symbols.
The general approach is to consider The Four Branches as teaching tales, instructive stories that have an almost (but not quite) allegorical quality to them. They are also considered in terms of how they correspond to other myths and stories from Europe and the rest of the world.

A sound limiter monitors the volume (measured in decibels) in a room, and if the volume exceeds a preset limit then the power is automatically turned off to all musical equipment that uses electricity.
1) What is a sound limiter?
A sound limiter (also known as an environmental sound controller) is a pre-installed device that is in line of the mains electrical supply and sockets that a performer uses. Limiters are installed to cut the power to the performer if the sound reaches a pre-defined decibel level. The power will remain off for up to 10 seconds before being re-set.
In other words, a limiter will turn off the power source for the sound if it's higher than the level set by the venue / council.
A sound limiter will have a visual meter to let the performer know if they are within the decibel limit. These usually follow the format of 'traffic lights'. A scale of coloured LED lights from Green through Orange and Red indicate whether the sound level in the area of the limiter is within the pre-set decibel level.
A sound limiter will be usually out of site apart from the meter, which will be either on the ceiling or on the wall in view of the band. Sometimes if installed incorrectly the performers may be unable to see the lights.
A performer's job is to entertain an audience, which is made very difficult if having to keep watching a light meter!
2) Why a limiter?
Although this is a broad question and every situation will potentially be different, a venue will tend to use a limiter if they have had complaints from local residents about sound. In order for a venue to be able to renew it's license to have music they may be forced to comply with council legislation. This is the most common reason for a venue to use a sound limiter, although in some situations a limiter may be installed for the health and safety of the employees at work.
There is no set limit to the volume of the limiter; if for example there is a dispute with local residents an agreement will be made by the local council or enforcement officer based on the type of entertainment and frequency of live music the venue accommodates.
3) How does a sound limiter affect a live gig ?
Live music is dynamic, which means there are many changes in volume with 'peaks' which can set off a limiter. Therefore the overall volume must be set low enough to accommodate these peaks. Pre-recorded DJ music has been compressed to remove the peaks, so the overall volume of DJ music can be set higher than live music without danger of setting off the sound limiter.
The volume of a live performance varies depending on the size and type of a band, and on the instruments they use. An Acoustic Duo act is very less likely to be affected by a sound limiter than for example an 8 piece Soul band that may use Brass instruments, or a Rock band which uses acoustic drum kit and electric guitar amplification. How much a performance is affected will depend on several factors, such as:
*The size of the room
*How acoustic the room is, for example a tiled floor and wall will deflect sound and make it seem louder as opposed to a wooden room that will allow the sound to resonate and will to some degree soak up the sound.
*The limiter's volume limit; most are set in the region of between 83 – 93 decibels (about the volume of a hair dryer or a drill!)
*The placement of the limiter's microphone is a determining factor in how problematic it will be. For example, if the placement of the microphone is above the musicians it's more likely to pick up a lot of sound compared to a placement of 3-6 metres in front of the performer.
*Ambient noise; if you have a raucous audience they will add to the overall ambient volume being produced and may help set the unit off!
4) Venue responsibilities at pre-booking stage
More often than not in our experience the majority of venues are very accommodating to musicians, but unfortunately we have found over the years that if a venue has been fitted with a sound control device they are un-likely to verbally make a client aware and even to explain the limitations of the unit before a client books. A venue will often refer a customer to the very small print of their terms & conditions, which will briefly explain or outline the limitations that have been put in place.
This becomes problematic when a band confirms bookings before a client understands what restrictions their party will potentially be under by the venue or council, and thus ultimately whether the client is able to have the type of entertainment they would like.
In no case are the limitations set by the venue something that a performer cannot deal with, although unfortunately sometimes the 'blame' is shifted to a musician with the implication that they somehow are not 'good enough' or 'professional enough' to deal with the said limits. More often than not it is the lack of communication that can potentially cause issues as it may be more important to secure a booking than concerning themselves with the details of the wedding party / evening event / evening party (anytime where there may be amplified music or sound).
In our experience of working with sound limiters, we are able to keep the band volume under whatever decibel limit has been set, but the result is that our client and their guests don't always get the full benefit of the live pop/rock band they've chosen for their event. Mainly because of the drop in volume which often means using different equipment (i.e. softer drum sticks). Also because the performers have to keep one eye on the meter during the gig.
5) Our Advice
Our advice to clients is that you should always check the details of any limitations in terms of sound restrictions, and inform the band in advance so that we can prepare the necessary equipment and performance schedule to make sure you get as close as possible to 110% rock and roll. Always check the small print in your contract, better still read through your terms or service with a venue before making the final decision as entertainment & sound is a massive part of any party.

ACP provides physician perspective in testimony to Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights of Senate Judiciary Committee
(Washington, June 21, 2016) – The American College of Physicians (ACP) today provided physician perspective on the escalating cost of prescription drugs, the impact of the costs on internal medicine physicians and their patients, and support for the intent of the bipartisan Creating and Restoring Equal Access to Equivalent Samples (CREATES) Act of 2016 to reduce anti-competitive practices.
Testifying before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights, Nitin S. Damle, MD, MS, FACP, president of ACP, an assistant professor of medicine at Brown University, and a practicing internal medicine physician, spoke on behalf of ACP's 143,000 members.
"ACP recognizes that ensuring and improving patient access to prescription drugs is a growing need," Dr. Damle said. "Over the past several years, we have seen a dramatic rise in the cost of prescription drugs in this country. These increases apply not only to specialty drugs that treat life-threatening illness like cancer, but also common drugs like antibiotics that treat bacterial infections. That, coupled with several recent high-profile price gauging cases, has vaulted the issue of rising prescription drug costs into the forefront of our everyday conversations, including among those in Congress.
ACP strongly supports using multiple approaches—such as cost and price transparency, greater flexibility for public programs to leverage volume purchasing, and encouraging competition, among others—to stem the increasing cost of prescription drugs, Dr. Damle noted. In fact, ACP recently developed a series of specific positions and recommendations that were published just three months ago in in its position paper on escalating drug prices, "Stemming the Escalating Cost of Prescription Drugs." ACP supports policies and proposals that give patients the best available information and access to prescription medications at the lowest cost possible, while acknowledging the need for a strong pharmaceutical market that fosters investment in and development of new treatments.
"ACP believes it is important that policies addressing the increase in prescription drug prices cover not only new entrants to the market, but also drugs that have been on the market and may be generic or single-source drugs," Dr. Damle emphasized.
Dr. Damle told the subcommittee about experiences from his own practice, teaching and from colleagues from around the country he's talked to as ACP president. "I see firsthand the choices that patients must make about their health."
"These examples from just one day in my office are repeated day in and day out," Dr. Damle said. "Advances in medicine have been lifesaving but they need to be affordable to society. Non-compliance with medication regimens can lead to more serious health complications, more patients suffering from disease and more costs to society. The pharmaceutical industry needs a reasonable return on investment but there needs to be a balance between profits and the service they provide in treating and maintaining the health of our patients."
Dr. Damle concluded his remarks by expressing appreciation to the Subcommittee for asking for input from the physician community during introduction of the CREATES Act. "Our hope is that the information shared today will give that provider perspective. We stand ready to continue to serve as a resource and welcome the opportunity to continue to work with you as you continue to advance this bill through the 114th Congress.
