Wolfspeed Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2022
DURHAM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wolfspeed, Inc. (NYSE: WOLF), formerly known as Cree, Inc., today announced revenue of $156.6 million for its first quarter of fiscal 2022, ended September 26, 2021. This represents a 36% increase compared to revenue from continuing operations of $115.5 million reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and a 7% increase compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $70.1 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $75.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $23.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 of $26.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.
"We are pleased to report a solid fiscal first quarter, our fifth consecutive quarter of revenue growth bolstered by the rapidly expanding marketplace for Silicon Carbide products. We are driving the transition to Silicon Carbide-based solutions during a period of momentous change, which is demonstrated by our expanding list of customers and formal name change," said Wolfspeed Chief Executive Officer, Gregg Lowe. "We remain confident that the business is well positioned to realize its full potential as a pure-play global semiconductor powerhouse."
Business Outlook:
For its second quarter of fiscal 2022, Wolfspeed targets revenue in a range of $165 million to $175 million. GAAP net loss is targeted at $69 million to $73 million, or $0.59 to $0.63 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net loss is targeted to be in a range of $19 million to $23 million, or $0.16 to $0.20 per diluted share. Targeted non-GAAP net loss excludes $50 million of estimated expenses, net of tax, related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization or impairment of acquisition-related intangibles, factory optimization restructuring and start-up costs, net accretion on convertible notes, interest income from transaction-related note receivable and project, transformation, transaction and transition costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release highlights the Company's financial results on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis. The GAAP results include certain costs, charges and expenses that are excluded from non-GAAP results. By publishing the non-GAAP measures, management intends to provide investors with additional information to further analyze the Company's performance, core results and underlying trends. Wolfspeed's management evaluates results and makes operating decisions using both GAAP and non-GAAP measures included in this press release. Non-GAAP results are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and non-GAAP information should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this press release.
Change in Estimate:
As a result of the LED Business Divestiture and the Company's continued investment in 200mm technology, the Company evaluated the useful lives applied to certain machinery and equipment assets by considering industry standards and reviewing the assets' historical and estimated future use. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company increased the expected useful lives of these assets by two to five years to more closely reflect the estimated economic lives of those assets. This change in estimate was applied prospectively effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $8.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Approximately $7.1 million of the decrease in depreciation expense resulted in a reduction of inventory as of September 26, 2021 and will impact cost of revenue, net in future periods as the inventory is relieved. The remaining $1.3 million of reduced depreciation expense resulted in the following: (1) an improvement in gross profit of $0.5 million; (2) an improvement in both loss before income taxes and net loss of $1.3 million; and (3) an improvement in basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01 per share.
Forward Looking Statements:
The schedules attached to this release are an integral part of the release. This press release contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that may cause Wolfspeed's actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about our plans to grow the business and our ability to achieve our targets for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and beyond. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, risks relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the risk of new and different government restrictions that limit our ability to do business, the risk of infection in our workforce and subsequent impact on our ability to conduct business, the risk that our supply chain, including our contract manufacturers, or customer demand may be negatively impacted, the risk posed by vaccine resistance and the emergence of fast-spreading variants, the risk that the COVID-19 pandemic will lead to a global recession and the potential for costs associated with our operations during the fiscal 2022 second quarter and future quarters to be greater than we anticipate as a result of all of these factors; the risk that we may not obtain sufficient orders to achieve our targeted revenues; price competition in key markets; the risk that we may experience production difficulties that preclude us from shipping sufficient quantities to meet customer orders or that result in higher production costs, lower yields and lower margins; our ability to lower costs; the risk that our results will suffer if we are unable to balance fluctuations in customer demand and capacity, including bringing on additional capacity on a timely basis to meet customer demand; the risk that longer manufacturing lead times may cause customers to fulfill their orders with a competitor's products instead; product mix; risks associated with the ramp-up of production of our new products, and our entry into new business channels different from those in which we have historically operated; risks associated with our factory optimization plan and construction of a new device fabrication facility, including design and construction delays and cost overruns, issues in installing and qualifying new equipment and ramping production, poor production process yields and quality control, and potential increases to our restructuring costs; the risk that we or our channel partners are not able to develop and expand customer bases and accurately anticipate demand from end customers, which can result in increased inventory and reduced orders as we experience wide fluctuations in supply and demand; the risk that the economic and political uncertainty caused by the tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese goods, and corresponding Chinese tariffs and currency devaluation in response, may negatively impact demand for our products; risks related to international sales and purchases; ongoing uncertainty in global economic conditions, infrastructure development or customer demand that could negatively affect product demand, collectability of receivables and other related matters as consumers and businesses may defer purchases or payments, or default on payments; risks resulting from the concentration of our business among few customers, including the risk that customers may reduce or cancel orders or fail to honor purchase commitments; the risk that our investments may experience periods of significant market value and interest rate volatility causing us to recognize fair value losses on our investment; the risk posed by managing an increasingly complex supply chain that has the ability to supply a sufficient quantity of raw materials, subsystems and finished products with the required specifications and quality; the risk we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings if our remaining goodwill or amortizable assets become impaired; risks relating to confidential information theft or misuse, including through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion; our ability to complete development and commercialization of products under development; the rapid development of new technology and competing products that may impair demand or render our products obsolete; the potential lack of customer acceptance for our products; risks associated with ongoing litigation; the risk that customers do not maintain their favorable perception of our brand and products, resulting in lower demand for our products; the risk that our products fail to perform or fail to meet customer requirements or expectations, resulting in significant additional costs; issues, delays or complications in completing required transition activities to allow the Company's now divested LED Products business to operate under the SMART Global Holdings, Inc. (SGH) portfolio of businesses after the closing, including incurring unanticipated costs to complete such activities; risks associated with strategic transactions, including the possibility that we may not realize the full purchase price contemplated in connection with the sale of our former LED Products or Lighting Products business units; and other factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2021, and subsequent reports filed with the SEC. These forward-looking statements represent Wolfspeed's judgment as of the date of this release. Except as required under the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, Wolfspeed disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this release, whether as a result of new information, future events, developments, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Wolfspeed uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating (loss) income, non-GAAP non-operating income (expense), net, non-GAAP net (loss) income from continuing operations, non-GAAP diluted (loss) earnings per share from continuing operations and free cash flow.
Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included with this press release.
Non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not in accordance with or an alternative to measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Wolfspeed's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate Wolfspeed's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Wolfspeed believes that these non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, enhance investors' and management's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and the Company's prospects for the future, including cash flows available to pursue opportunities to enhance shareholder value. In addition, because Wolfspeed has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the Company's financial reporting.
For its internal budgeting process, and as discussed further below, Wolfspeed's management uses financial statements that do not include the items listed below and the income tax effects associated with the foregoing. Wolfspeed's management also uses non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the Company's financial results.
Wolfspeed excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures when applicable:
Stock-based compensation expense. This expense consists of expenses for stock options, restricted stock, performance stock awards and employee stock purchases through its Employee Stock Purchase Program. Wolfspeed excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures because they are non-cash expenses that Wolfspeed does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results.
Amortization or impairment of acquisition-related intangibles. Wolfspeed incurs amortization or impairment of acquisition-related intangibles in connection with acquisitions. Wolfspeed excludes these items because they arise from Wolfspeed's prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the ongoing operating results of Wolfspeed's business.
Factory optimization restructuring. In May 2019, the Company started a significant, multi-year factory optimization plan to be anchored by a state-of-the-art, automated 200mm Silicon Carbide device fabrication facility. In September 2019, the Company announced the intent to build the new fabrication facility in Marcy, New York to complement the factory expansion underway at its U.S. campus headquarters in Durham, North Carolina. As part of the plan, the Company will incur restructuring costs associated with the movement of equipment as well as disposals on certain long-lived assets. Because these charges relate to assets which had been retired prior to the end of their estimated useful lives, Wolfspeed does not believe these costs are reflective of ongoing operating results. Similarly, Wolfspeed does not consider the realized net losses on sale of assets relating to the restructuring to be reflective of ongoing operating results.
Severance and other restructuring. These costs relate to the Company's realignment of certain resources as part of the Company's transition to a more focused semiconductor company. Wolfspeed does not believe these costs are reflective of ongoing operating results.
Project, transformation and transaction costs. The Company has incurred professional services fees and other costs associated with completed and potential acquisitions and divestitures, as well as internal transformation programs focused on optimizing the Company's administrative processes. Wolfspeed excludes these items because Wolfspeed believes they are not reflective of the ongoing operating results of Wolfspeed's business.
Factory optimization start-up costs. As part of the factory optimization plan, the Company has incurred and will incur start-up costs. Wolfspeed does not believe these costs are reflective of ongoing operating results. In fiscal 2022, these costs will include an estimated $80.0 million of start-up and pre-production related costs associated with the Company ramping production at its new device fabrication facility in Marcy, New York.
Transition service agreement costs. As a result of the sale of the Lighting Products business unit, the Company is providing certain information technology services under a transition services agreement which will not be reimbursed. Wolfspeed excludes the costs of these services because Wolfspeed believes they are not reflective of the ongoing operating results of Wolfspeed's business.
Net changes in fair value of investment in ENNOSTAR. Prior to the Company liquidating its interests in fiscal 2021, the Company's common stock ownership investment in ENNOSTAR, Inc. was accounted for utilizing the fair value option. As such, changes in fair value were recognized in income, including fluctuations due to the exchange rate between the New Taiwan Dollar and the United States Dollar. Wolfspeed excluded the impact of these gains or losses from its non-GAAP measures because they were non-cash impacts. Additionally, Wolfspeed excluded the impact of dividends received, if any, on its ENNOSTAR investment as Wolfspeed does not believe it was reflective of its ongoing operating results.
Interest income on transaction-related note receivable. In connection with the completed sale of the LED Products business unit to SGH and its wholly owned acquisition subsidiary CreeLED, Inc. (CreeLED and collectively with SGH, SMART), the Company received an unsecured promissory note issued to the Company by SGH in the amount of $125 million (the Purchase Price Note). Interest income on the Purchase Price Note is excluded because Wolfspeed believes it is not reflective of the ongoing operating results of Wolfspeed's business.
Accretion on convertible notes, net of capitalized interest. The issuance of the Company's convertible senior notes in August 2018 and April 2020 results in interest accretion on the convertible notes' issue costs and discount. Wolfspeed considers these items as either limited in term or having no impact on the Company's cash flows, and therefore has excluded such items to facilitate a review of current operating performance and comparisons to the Company's past operating performance.
Loss on Wafer Supply Agreement. In connection with the completed sale of the LED Products business unit to SMART, the Company entered into a Wafer Supply and Fabrication Services Agreement (the Wafer Supply Agreement), pursuant to which the Company supplies CreeLED with certain Silicon Carbide materials and fabrication services for up to four years. Wolfspeed excludes the financial impact of this agreement because Wolfspeed believes it is not reflective of the ongoing operating results of Wolfspeed's business.
Income tax adjustment. This amount reconciles GAAP tax (benefit) expense to a calculated non-GAAP tax (benefit) expense utilizing a non-GAAP tax rate. The non-GAAP tax rate estimates an appropriate tax rate if the listed non-GAAP items were excluded. This reconciling item adjusts non-GAAP net (loss) income from continuing operations to the amount it would be if the calculated non-GAAP tax rate was applied to non-GAAP (loss) income before income taxes.
Wolfspeed may incur some of these same expenses, including income taxes associated with these expenses, in future periods. In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, Wolfspeed also uses free cash flow as a measure of operating performance and liquidity. Free cash flow represents operating cash flows from continuing operations less net purchases of property and equipment and patent and licensing rights. Wolfspeed considers free cash flow to be an operating performance and a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property and equipment, a portion of which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Wolfspeed's business, make strategic acquisitions and strengthen the balance sheet. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of operating performance and liquidity is that it does not represent the residual cash flow available to the company for discretionary expenditures, as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as debt service.

Wolfspeed, Inc. (NYSE: WOLF) today announced revenue of $156.6 million for its first quarter of fiscal 2022, ended September 26, 2021.


Gone are the days when mere academic qualifications were enough to get you your dream job. In today's cut-throat competition, graduates, even those walking out from the campuses of premier engineering colleges and B-schools have to prove their mettle in order to be eligible for good job opportunities. This is where the AMCAT employability test comes into the picture. So let's find out all there is to know about AMCAT or the Aspiring Minds Computer Aptitude Test and how it can help you bag that dream job with a top MNC or a Fortune 500 company.
AMCAT is an employability test that tests the aptitude, technical skills, mental ability and reasoning skills of candidates seeking a job with top MNCs. The AMCAT is conducted by Aspiring Minds Assessment Private Limited as a standardized aptitude test through which different types of skills of a prospective candidate can be quantified and compared. This helps organizations screen the right candidates and match them to the right job roles.
What is a 'Computer Adaptive Test'?
Unlike other entrance exams or tests, AMCAT is a computer adaptive test. A computer adaptive test is the one in which the questions or the test gets tougher or easier depending on the performance of a candidate. For instance, if you answer the first question correctly, the next question that is presented to you will be of higher difficulty level as compared to the previous one. On the contrary, if your answer is wrong, the next question that you get as part of the test would be relatively easier compared to the previous one.
Who can appear for the AMCAT employability test?
AMCAT is an employability test that quantifies your skills and presents them before an employer in a standardized format. Therefore, any candidate who holds a valid diploma, bachelors, masters or a doctorate degree is eligible to take the AMCAT. There is no age-limit defined for the test. Even the number of attempts is not defined for candidates taking the AMCAT, but a minimum 3 months period is mandatory between two successive AMCAT exam attempts.
In the last decade, AMCAT has become an industry norm when it comes to employability tests. It acts as a bridge between candidates searching for jobs and recruiters who are trying to hire qualified candidates suitable for a job.On the other hand, it helps candidates reach out to the right employers for suitable job roles as per their skill-set; thereby creating a win-win situation for both the candidate as well as the recruiter.
From a candidate's perspective, it presents a detailed report card which clearly indicates the key strengths and weaknesses. It helps candidates identify the areas in which they are good and the areas which require improvement as per industry standards. For instance, a candidate who is technically sound might face rejection in an interview due to hiscommunication skills. AMCAT helps identify such areas through comprehensive feedback and thereby gives candidates an opportunity to improve themselves.
While traditional aptitude tests merely test a candidate's verbal comprehension and reasoning abilities, the AMCAT employability test also takes into account personality traits and domain skills. It presents the skill set of a candidate in a quantifiable manner helping recruiters match the skills with necessary job profiles based on the test performance. Over 700+ companies have already adopted AMCAT as a compulsory testing mechanism to screen candidates for entry-level roles.
AMCAT has no fixed schedule but is conducted every month in 32 cities across India. Generally, the test is conducted in various slots on Saturdays and Sundays to help accommodate the busy schedule of working professionals and students. The frequency of the exam varies from one city to another, depending upon the number of candidates taking up the test. For cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad, which are the IT hubs of the country, the test is conducted more frequently as compared to other cities.
AMCAT is a 3-hour employability test that is conducted in a computer-based format. The test comprises five key modules of which three are compulsory while two are options/electives to be selected by a candidate. The compulsory modules include English Comprehension, Logical Ability and Quantitative Aptitude.
After taking up AMCAT, candidates will be able to view or download their AMCAT scorecard from the official website by logging into their account. Once the final profile score is available, the same is forwarded by AMCAT administration to the companies that are looking for candidates with the required skill set. Based on your score, you will start receiving interview calls from recruiters who are looking for candidates with your skill-set. In general, the higher the score, the better are the chances of you getting more number of interview calls. As per the norm, a 90+ percentile is considered to be a respectable score for AMCAT.
Where can you find jobs after taking the AMCAT?
Companies that hire based on AMCAT scores range from big names to mid-sized companies to start-ups and new entrants in the industry. Hence, the AMCAT offers plenty of choices to candidates who can expect to be hired by industries as diverse as IT Services and Solutions, Consulting, Consumer and Financial Services, and Online Media to name a few. Some prominent companies that hire based on one's AMCAT scores include Cognizant, HCL, Microsoft, Byju's, Uber, Mphasis, Fullerton India, Aricent, Quickr, and many more.
In the last decade, AMCAT has become a popular employability test that connects recruiters with candidates searching for jobs based on their skills. Every month, around 1.5 lakh interview calls go out to candidates based on their AMCAT score. This itself proves the worth of AMCAT and is a reason enough for candidates to take the employability test.

Um... You might want to see someone about that. I'm fairly certain it's not supposed to work that way.
Haven't updated this for a while, but tonight's session was worth bragging about. Here's the brief rundown-
The PC's assassinated an evil, demon-possessed undead elf (that they had already killed about a year ago) who was trying to set up a dwarf-effecting version of the Glamour of Caradul inside the Crimson Stair of Calador. They altered it so that it effected Orcs again and have begun carrying the powerful spell, which is anchored to a sapling Homewood tree around with them in a large planting box.
They held a Wake for a dead companion who's ghost had just finished forging powerful weapons by possessing another character. The weapons were finished by imbuing them with his spirit, which destroyed it.
Calador fell when Jahzir led an assault through an underground tunnel that lead to the ancient ruins of Old Calador. The Ironborn Dornish barbarian actually managed to survive a hit for the Sword of Shadow himself! (147 points of damage, 8 points of Strength damage and 7 negative levels).
A powerful ancient dwarven fail-safe device (described in more detail here) went off and blew up the entire Kaladrun mountain range.
The PC's are now trapped in the Deeps in the aftermath, in tunnels no dwarf has set foot in for more than 1000 years. The session ended with them bleeding and battered pulling up the rear guard for what was left of the dwarves of Calador. They could hear the keening of the Song of the Darguul in the distance.

This has been a long time coming and I felt it was only fair to inform the people on the rest of our adventures to date. This will be doled out in short bursts and keep an eye on the updates as chronological event I have forgotten about may be placed in at later times.
A number of unprecedented actions heralded this dark turn of events, leading from the subterrainean world of the Dwarves and into the unknown of Aryth's very own Underdark.
After we had freed the Dwarves of Pardrum Holdfast from their now Bodak infested home, we hurried along the tunnel of Woden the Dwarven Seer king's tunnel. The venerable Dwarven Lore Keeper Dola of Pardrum Holdfast had passed on due to old age; but we needed her so we used Reincarnate to place her still lingering soul into that of a fallen Dwarven warriors body. It led to some hilarious moments since Dola who was a female Dwarf, now was in a young and healthy male Dwarf's body. Along the way we came upon many trials and wonders including: Dealing with confused Delvers that had been betrayed by Blackblood Dwarves. Seeing a marshaling of Jahzir's forces from a high vantage point among an abandoned Dwarven outpost. Evading or silently killing Orcish patrols near tunnel entrances. Utilizing the Witch Queens power through our Seer Channeler and launching a night raid, with a small army of flying Dwarves, which managed to destroy the Golem Works the Shadow forces had found and were operating. While there we met our revived and controlled Elven allies(COS) from our first adventure.
Locating and using the Melting Vortex Nexus. Locating and utilizing an echo chamber Nexus, which was attuned to Sonic vibrations. Meeting and reawakening the Keeper of the Road, an Elder Earth Elemental, who had nearly fallen into slumber after hundreds of years of maintaing the Woden's secret tunnel. It then gave us a Gem of summoning which could be used once to call it to our location.
We also came to a Durgis encampment within the Pass of the Eagles, where a large scale fight between the surface Dwarves and Orcish forces were clashing, when we saw Aanamanthiax, the dragon appear and begin routing the Dwarves from their encampments. The Dwarves were forced to quickly give ground and retreated. We decided not to stick around that day and when we came up in the next tunnel exit, the fighting had ended and we saw the wounded and badly crippled form of the Dragon, painfully climbing its way to a lair to rest and recover. The valley was left in smoldering ruin and large pools of Dragon blood covered the ground.
Climbing up to one of the highest peaks of the Kaladruns we saw a nesting Roc and took its partially eaten meal, which was a whale, to help feed the Dwarves of Pardrum. We were later approached by Agammon the Red, one of the remaining good aligned Dragons serving Xirxci, before being taken to him inside his hidden lair underneath the Blinfork spires, where we were tasked to repel a Shadow strike force bent on destroying the Nexus. We successfully repelled it and picked up a useful lizard thing, that turns anything meeting its gaze to stone. We also faced off with a Tunnel Spider that had set up its web inside the tunnel but managed to turn it to stone.
Finally reaching the Southern defense of Calador, a fortress called Mahan which had fallen and been sunken into the ground due to Dwarven engineering to slow down the enemy. Calling the Keeper of the Road to aid, us and unfortunately, through unspecified action had him raise the fallen fortress back up which allowed us easy access to the tunnel but also allowed the Orcish force free access through the now undefended fortress as well.
After that, we made a mad dash to Calador where we aided with the Defense by bringing the first line of Dwarven reinforcements. The advance enemy forces had already made use of their corrupted Delvers and were burrowing into the tunnels that the Dwarves of Calador had also found and were defending. We caught them in a pincer attack and were making some headway until the Master In Gray's hunter Jael, made a sweeping return entrance into the fight with his own Delver several other powerful Legates at his side! Despite the fact we had killed him before, he had a new body, his head had been put on to the body of a corrupted celestial. It made him both incredibly resilient and fast. The fight was desperate on both sides but in the end our Guardian managed to stab him through the chest and smite him upon the wall. After that day we followed the tunnel into the most impressive thing ever described and possibly Caladors strongest defense. A Trap Elemental! It was sentient, made of weapons, and when it killed an enemy it utilized any metal to add to or reinforce itself. We convinced it that we were all allies, not easy considering Mechanus is a sundered tongue, and made it passed.
We entered into the vast chamber of old Calador. It was the size of an entire city but most of it was under water and were greeted by the Dwarven king who had known about it but it had been abandoned for so long it was nearly forgotten. Before discussion really began we were assaulted by yet another team of Delvers but also a highly trained unit of Orcs (who all had Heroic Paths) and the Dragon Anamanthiax who had slowly healed over the months.
The fight was dangerous and a black skinned Elf who was with the Orcs, nearly escaped with the Dwarf king when he grabbed ahold of him and then jumped through the shadows. Luckily some of the party caught up to and slew him while the rest of the party battled the Orcs. Save for one Enlarged, flying, magically strengthened, Raging Barbarian Dwarf and the crazy pale Elfling who decided jumping onto a Dragon would be a good idea. Sadly, Hrothgar the Prince of Destruction finally met his match that day and was bested by the powerful foe. He died attempting to strangle the dragon with large Mithral chains that had been hanging from the ceiling, when the Dragon unleashed an all out assault on him; culminating in his body being burnt to the bones. But Hrothgar was not soundly defeated. His black helm, the Covenant Item of the Durgis Dwarves and focus point for all the spirits of the clan, began to hum with power. His spirit rose, and with it all of the fallen Dwarves of the Durgis and Pardrum clan spirits that had been called to him by his helmet. They sacrificed themselves by the dozens to infuse Hrothgar with a strange blue fiery strength and many more tore into the Dragon itself. Hrothgar was nothing more than an animated skeleton wrapped in blue flame but he attacked Anamanthiax with his new found strength and after several blows won the day.

...Damn, LB. That is one hell of a recall. Did you have notes, or did you just pull all that out of your hat?
All in the mind.
Once the Dragon had fallen, the party gathered to fight the Orcs and the battle began anew. A dispel magic centered on the Captain of the Orc squad broke something holding him. He seemed as though snapping out of a trance and called off his men from attacking any further. Both sides held off as we were not in any shape to fight and there was a brief and heated discussion between the Orcish Captain and another Orc who seemed perturbed that the Captain was acting normal again. The end Result was the Captain ordering the white mask wearing Giant in the party to smash the black cloak wearing Orc. A brief scuffle and then the Orcs head was lopped off. Negotiations began immediately following in where the Orcs who recognized Kaz the Orc in our party, as one of their former members and they made an oath to the Dor of Calador. The party warily watched and acted as intermediaries while a number of important discussions took place. Eventually the Orcs were allowed to follow us up, unarmed and into the heart of Calador where they were to be tested to see if their word was true or not.
Besieged though it was, Calador proper was one of the most impressive spectacles of Engineering we had ever seen. The Dor led us to his council chambers and the Orcs were taken to the hall of the Ancestors to be judged. We began speaking with the Dor and his council about what was going on and how we had gotten there. The Dwarves of Calador were quite pleased to meet more of their kin and the 2,000+ Dwarves we had brought with us finally were allowed to rest for a short time after hundreds of miles of trekking. We brought news of the plan we had uncovered through our seers vision and the Witch Queens orders. We had finally reached the goal of our mission we had been sent on almost a year before and we were also given time to rest.
Our mission wasn't done yet however. We discovered that the Mithral axes of the Dors of each Clan of Dwarves acted as keys to the Mechanism below in Old Calador. We headed down there and sent our Orcish Channeler Kaz to swim beneath the water and down to where the Mithral Chains went. We discovered that the lake in Old Calador was actually a Powerful Nexus known as the Bowl of Calador. Somehow it had been forgotten about and not used for hundreds or possibly thousands of years. The Guardian of which was in fact Woden the Seer King's spirit. He knew about us from his visions in the past and was thus helpful to our cause.
We raised Anamanthiax as a Draconic Skeleton and then attempted to Reincarnate Hrothgar but we quickly realized that something was wrong. The Helm had been activated and because he had died his soul was tied to it. He was not able to be fully revived. He discovered that every day he "lived" one of the remaining Dwarven spirits would be consumed. He couldn't live with himself like that, so he made a choice. He possessed the body of Kaz and took his own bones, along with mithral that had been gifted to us by the Dwarves of Calador and began to craft powerful weapons out of them. He worked tirelessly under the water, he was given aid from Woden on crafting knowledge and finally, the day he was finished, he gathered us to say his farewells before he sundered his own soul to empower the weapons he had made himself.
Not long after that we were once again called into service to aid in the defense of the city. First we were sent to the western wall. The defenses had been breached there some months ago and the city had to section off an area the enemy now held. They once again were making a large push and were using a specialized unit. A Giant known as the Breaker of Holds. We made our way there and through a clever use of Dwarven traps from Sholano, our Gnome Jack-of-All-Trades, we caught the monstrosity and pinned him down long enough for us to kill him. We also managed to break the Orcish lines and sent them running.
After that we were called to defend an area known as the Bloody Stair. A sealed off area where so much fighting had occurred between the Invaders and Attackers and so many had lost their lives on both sides it had become a Necromantic Conflux. An incursion of Orcs were making their way through and were about to unleash a plan that could doom the entire Dwarven Resistance. A similar spell effect to the Glamour surrounding the Erethor. We went ahead and immediately began to enounter resistance from Orcish invaders and a pair of Legates. The Orcs surprised us when several pulled out explosives but we managed to kill them before they did too much damage. We made use of old traps and sheer brute force before managing to push them back. As we continued to push them back we eventually came to a strange sealed chamber. Inside which was a trapped Pit Fiend! Ahead there were also more shadow minions. One of which was wreathed in flames and it didn't take long for us to remember the last time we had seen it. The Fiend tried to make a deal with us and when we rejected it became enraged and began summoning smaller Demons. Luckily old Dwarven runes dispelled them but they still managed to do some damage. Our enemies closed ranks and began launching ranged attacks and throwing explosives at us. Things were going poorly for us and someone nearly got killed due to some lucky critical hits. Things were looking bad and we were talking about retreating when suddenly...
Our Seer snapped out of his vision early. His head throbbed from the Wisdom Damage but it was several hours earlier that day and we hadn't yet been called to the Bloody Stair. He knew what we had to do.

Q: Question on binomial expansion - divisibility I am not able to solve this problem
Show that the integer just greater than $( \sqrt{3} + 1 )^{2m}$ contains $2^{m+1}$ as a  factor.
Any help would be thoroughly appreciated

A: This is a Pisot numbers issue.
Let $u_n=(4+2\sqrt{3})^n+(4-2\sqrt{3})^n$. Then we have the recurrence
relation $u_{n+2}=8u_{n+1}-4u_n$, and $u_0=2,u_1=8$.
It is easy then to see by induction on $n$ that $u_n$ is an integer
 multiple of $2^{n+1}$ for every $n$.
Further, $0 \leq (4-2\sqrt{3})^n \leq \frac{1}{2}$, so that
 $\lceil (4+2\sqrt{3})^n \rceil$ is in fact $u_n$, and we are done.

A: You can write the expression as  $\lceil (\sqrt 3+1)^2 \rceil ^m = (\sqrt 3^2 +2\sqrt 3+1^2 )^m=(4+2 \sqrt 3)^m$ and then you can extrac a factor $2$ out of the $m$ power: $(4+2\sqrt 3)^m=2^m(2+\sqrt 3)^m$. Now you have a $2^m$ factor, and you only have to see that the first integer that is bigger than $(2+\sqrt 3)^m$ is always even because the first digit of $(2+\sqrt 3)^m$ is always odd. So, the integer bigger than $(2+\sqrt 3)^m$, $T$, is of the form $T=2q$ and $2^m T=2^m 2q = 2^{m+1}q$.

Can a Concussion Really Lead to Dementia?
By HelloCare - Journalist Team. Mar 28, 2017
It's not just falls that occur later in life that can increase the risk of dementia, as there is also reason to believe that injuries sustained when younger can actually increase the chances of a person developing dementia symptoms.
A new study has suggested that suffering a concussion in your teens or 20s may result in brain damage that can lead to dementia. People in their 30s who had suffered concussions were shown to have thinning brain tissues, similar to those who have Alzheimer's.
The Boston School of Medicine research brings youth brain health to the forefront, as people that young are typically free of dementia symptoms. The findings are of particular importance to Australian sports such as NRL and AFL, where head injuries are common.
The most important finding is how concussions may influence brain decay and why it is important for it to be assessed and recorded on medical records even if not considered serious.
According the the Mayo Clinic, a severe head injury that knocks you out for more than 24 hours can increase your future dementia risk, and that being unconsciousness for more than 30 minutes, but less than 24 hours, also increases dementia risk by a smaller scale.
Repeated mild injuries may increase risk of future problems with thinking and reasoning. Another recent research even suggests that there may even be a connection between football and soccer and developing dementia.
This particular study began around 40 years ago, with 14 former players taking part. Of the 14, six of them had signs of Alzheimer's disease when they underwent post-mortem examinations.
Four of the former player's brains were found to have chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) pathology, which is a possible consequence of repeated impacts to the brain.
However, it should be noted that there are also other factors that contribute to developing dementia aside from injury alone.
Fear of Seeking Help Leading to Recurrent Falls
Falls are not simply just a part of "getting older" as they can be avoided, yet more and more older people are reportedly suffering from falls and fall related injuries. And one type of injuries that is particularly dangerous are head injuries.
Falls occur more often to the elderly, as opposed to younger people, for reasons that can be prevented – as people get older they may have impaired vision, dizziness or other mobility impairments. Older people may not have the strength or agility to find their feet once they start to lose their balance.
When people don't report or seek help for falls or injuries, it increases the chances of them falling again and sustaining more injuries. What small minor injury they suffer in a mild fall may cause bigger problems later, and larger falls can lead to concussions.
An Ohio State research found that more than a third of older adults who had minor head injuries ended up back in the ER within 90 days.
One theory as to why people may not report their falls is that they fear that family or professionals will intervene and that they will lose their independence. And because of that, they downplay any incidents that occur.
Prevention is Better Than a Cure
There are many things that can be done to decrease the risk of falls. Firstly, it is advised that people have their eyes checked for any vision problems. Make sure where the older person stay is well illuminated, with lights, lamps and clear windows.
It's also important to prevent falls by removing any tripping hazards. This may include wiring and cords around the home or loose rugs. If their mobility is already slightly impaired, then handrails and grab bars might be of use.
Light exercise has shown to be effective in improving balance and strength, even in the elderly. Things such as gentle yoga and Tai Chi is advised.

The nightmare reality of home care waiting lists continues…
A new press release from Shadow Minister for Ageing and Seniors, Julie Collins, has revealed the incredible numbers on home care waiting lists. These new figures allege that across the country, almost 100,000 older Australians are still waiting for home care packages. "This is yet more evidence of the Morrison Government's neglect of our broken aged care system," Mr Collins says in the press release. "Older Australians are fed up with waiting for care at home when...


This isn't Ontario, Quebec, Vermont, or Nova Scotia. This is Sasktchewan, just a few miles from Radville, to be exact. These are Manitoba maple trees. Unlike their Sugar cousins, the ratio of syrup is 40:1 instead of 20:1. So, the return is not high. Apparently the finished product isn't quite as sweet as what you'll find in the maple syrup sold in stores, but it is maple syrup nonetheless. A cottage industry in the making? March 22, 2015.


No College Degree? So what?
Boy have those days come over and over again! Tears and sweat combined with utter exhaustion!
You will get to that tough place. Some days will feel like it is all over! Read your vision again and keep moving forward!
when we talk to little kids, we tell them about all they can be if they believe and work hard!
We teach them about their imaginations and basically tell them to dream as big as they can because they can accomplish anything they set their minds to!
It gives them the strength and the grace to dream and to run as fast as they can and fly as high as they can!
Hey.. The Lord is doing the same to you! Are you listening? He sees you in the light of His finished work in you.
He sees the "You" that you were meant to be! He wants you to see it, dream it and go for it!
Any other voice that you hear other than what He is saying is a lie.
Talk to the little girl or the little boy in you and say this: "Your Daddy is God! You are Awesome! You are going to do great from here on out! It does not matter what has happend before.
It only matters what you do now! Dream it! Believe it! Walk in it!

With the announcement of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party after scoring the 2383 magic number, her foreign policy record will be at the core of the general elections debate between now and November 8th.
Hillary Clinton has been labeled as "hawkish" and military-driven in the Middle East, but in reality she is neither and will likely pursue a centrist approach closer to Presidents George H. Bush, Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon and to some aspects of the Barack Obama doctrine.
As Secretary of State from 2009-2013, Clinton signed on to the withdrawal from Iraq in 2011, opened the door to talks with the Taliban, started secret negotiations with Iran, helped broker a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, drove the NATO air intervention in Libya, and led people-to-people initiatives across the region.
These positions, especially the military disentanglement from Iraq, opposition to ground troops in Syria or Libya, and readiness to talk with the Taliban and negotiate with Iran, dismantle the narrative of labeling Hillary Clinton a hawk or as a militaristic figure in approaching the Middle East.
Political labels have unfortunately come to define and frame the policy debate around the 2016 candidates, often accompanied with slogans, inaccurate characterizations that have become a substitute for a real conversation.
These labels were flawed in portraying Obama as an anti-war candidate in 2008, as his legacy will be associated with the highest use of drone attacks, an intervention in Libya, and an extension of the war in Afghanistan. The business of labeling is also off the mark in viewing Hillary Clinton as a hawk and interpreting her positions in binary terms on the Middle East.
Hillary Clinton's record from voting for the war on Iraq to supporting the intervention in Libya is almost identical to her successor Secretary of State John Kerry, who sponsored as Senator a resolution supporting the Libyan war and along with Vice President Joseph Biden voted the Iraq war. Yet, only one of them is regarded as a "hawk", and viewed in militaristic terms on foreign policy.
Clinton's close relation with the US military and former Secretaries of Defense Robert Gates and Leon Panetta, should not be equivalent to a militaristic policy approach in the Middle East. Her objection to sending troops to Iraq, Syria and Libya, and strong embrace of the Iran nuclear deal, puts her at a similar footing as Obama.
While she holds a more aggressive stance in confronting Russia's and Iran's behavior in Syria, Iraq and Eastern Europe, Clinton is nowhere close to the neoconservative school of thinking that rejects both the Iran nuclear deal and the START treaty with Russia.
During Obama's first term, Clinton was branded as the "designated yeller" at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and someone who confronted his foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman in calling publicly for settlement freeze. While her campaign rhetoric is strongly pro-Israel, her positions on rejecting settlement expansion and opposing moving the US embassy to Jerusalem make her more of a traditionalist than a hawk on this issue.
Clinton's approach of "smart power" in conducting foreign policy predicts a centrist and pragmatic strategy abroad if she were to be elected President in November. Her long list of advisers, which includes top negotiator with Iran, Wendy Sherman, former Undersecretary at State, Nicholas Burns, her close aide Jake Sullivan and former State Department official and vocal voice on civil society and human rights in the region, Tamara Wittes, suggest a middle of the road approach that prioritizes engagement and visible US diplomatic presence.
Those hoping for a return of the George W. Bush neoconservative wing in a Hillary Clinton Presidency or for a verbatim continuation of the Barack Obama policy, will likely be disappointed. Clinton's approach to the Middle East will not bear resemblance to Bush's freedom and democracy agenda, but will bring a more hands on and people-to-people relations than that of Obama.
Clinton's visit to Tahrir square in 2011, and town hall meetings across the Middle East, promise a return for people to people initiatives in the Middle East. The former Secretary of State, if elected, will also pay more emphasis to issues related to human rights and press freedoms in the region, than the Obama or even Bill Clinton administrations.
While she is known for her good relations and personal interactions with regional leaders in meetings that would span over four or seven hours with GCC leaders and Netanyahu, Clinton will likely be more vocal about human rights violations. Nevertheless, a Clinton Presidency will bring more emphasis on personal relations in driving the regional agenda, something that has largely gone missing with the more aloof and dry style of Obama.
Today, there isn't one Middle Eastern leader that has a close relationship with the White House. Even Jordan's King Abdullah, a frequent guest of the administration, has criticized the President.
On policy, Clinton is likely to adhere to Obama's strategic goals (fighting terrorism, combatting nuclear proliferation, securing Israel and strengthening allies) but with a larger umbrella, and with different emphasis on regional priorities. Reaching out to Iran will unlikely be high on Clinton's list while implementing the nuclear agreement will be.
Countering Russia's and Iran's roles will, on the other hand, be more aggressive than Obama's. Given Clinton's relations, it won't come as a surprise if she revisits the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks while possibly involving her husband and resurrecting the Arab Peace initiative.
All in all, a Hillary Clinton Presidency, if materialized, will bring forth a more robust, visible and complex centrist approach for the US leadership in the Middle East. It would employ more tools, including diplomatic and military pressure, than Obama, without going back to the George W. Bush template of high rhetoric and risky military projects.
Iran's preference – Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?

Have you ever experienced a medical emergency while on an airplane, or observed the call for doctors during a flight?
Earlier this year, Paul, a 32 year-old businessman, was on an international flight when a passenger called for assistance.
About 1 in 600 flights involves a reported passenger incident requiring medical help. That translates into 44,000 in-flight medical emergencies worldwide every year. The actual numbers may be higher since reporting is not mandatory and minor issues are very likely under-reported.
Paul was flying from a U.S. city to an overseas destination. About 30 minutes from takeoff, a man sitting across the aisle from him seemed to be in distress. Something was wrong and it looked to Paul like the man was having difficulty breathing. Flight attendants quickly arrived, made their call for medical help and frantically tried to assist.
This experience, however, was different than others. It involved a language barrier.
The confused looks and shrugged shoulders from those gathering around told the story. The passenger pointed to his chest area… Was he choking? Did he need air? Was he having a heart attack? It was impossible to know.
He wasn't understanding or speaking English or Turkish – the native language of the flight crew. Nor was he speaking any language the others could understand. So, they began asking around to find someone who could interpret.
They brought over a Hindi speaker. To no avail.
Things were getting tense as it was now 10 minutes into the ordeal. Who knew how much longer this man would remain conscious? He still seemed to have trouble breathing. The pilots were checking in to see if they needed to turn back. The crew began searching for anyone who looked non-European and was a non-English speaker.
Finally, they got lucky. It was Urdu – a seemingly obscure language to some, but serves as the official language of Pakistan and is spoken by 100 million people.
There was one person on that flight who spoke his language and it took upwards of 15 minutes to find him and resolve the situation. It turned out that the passenger took some medication for high blood pressure a few hours prior to takeoff. But, the timing wasn't good. Just 25 minutes into the flight, the changes in cabin air pressure due to altitude caused his blood pressure to drop. The medications were still in his system, and he recognized this as breathing became difficult. This is what he was motioning about. The flight attendants quickly surmised that additional oxygen would help with his situation. They grabbed the nearest oxygen tank and administered that to him. To everyone's relief, the situation was resolved and a life was saved.
It is not known how many of the 44,000 in-flight medical emergencies per year involve a language barrier. Finding an interpreter, in this case, was critical and fortunately the frantic search was successful. It could have been worse – unconsciousness might have set in and lack of oxygen could have had a deadly effect. The patient was alert, responsive, but not verbally able to communicate.
Paul and I met at a business function. During introductions, I told him about the 1st Minute App and he immediately shared his story with me. He suggested that the mobile solution we are developing for the language barrier would have been perfect to address the passenger's problem.
It was designed exactly for this situation and works in these simple steps.
The App provides immediate results when time is precious and lives are on the line. We look forward to bringing this capability to first responders, including flight attendants, and to travelers who may need to immediately communicate their medical history and symptoms.
For the airline industry, we see 1st Minute App being a part of the technology adoption that makes flying safer, minimizes in-flight disruptions, and one day becomes standard issue in air-travel like first aid kits (oxygen, defibrillators). If just 10% of in-flight medical emergencies are helped with the App, that amounts to thousands of avoided disruptions for hundreds of thousands of passengers.
1st Minute is First Aid, Translated. Download the latest version of the App and be prepared for your next medical emergency.
That is quite the story, and this doesn't really help my flight anxiety. I know that the chances I will have a problem on a flight are slim, but I know what it is like to be somewhere where there is a language barrier. It is hard to do anything and I can't imagine trying to communicate a medical emergency in that situation, and I am glad that there is a language app i could get just in case. However, I sincerely hope that the only time I will be in an airplane when there is a medical emergency is if I am being life flighted somewhere. At least then there would be trained professionals there.

In mid-July, CIIS East-West Psychology Professor Jorge Ferrer presented the work of Dr. Brian Swimme to a wall-to-wall audience at the prestigious Virreina Palace in Barcelona, Spain.
Dr. Brian Swimme professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness department, is the host of the Emmy award-winning film The Journey of the Universe, and the co-author of a book by the same title. Ferrer's presentation marked the premiere of both the film and the recently published Spanish translation of the book, which was co-authored with Mary Evelyn Tucker, a Yale University Senior Lecturer and Research Scholar.
Ferrer presented The Journey of the Universe to a crowd that filled the Barcelona venue to capacity; the film was extremely well-received.
"Brian kindly prepared a short video clip for the occasion, which was presented and simultaneously translated at the event before the screening of the movie," said Ferrer. "From the ensuing dialogue, I can say with certainty that it struck a deep chord in the audience."
The event was co-organized by the Ecosophic Greenhouse in association with the MA in Holistic Training for Eco-Social Transformation, University of Girona.
The Journey of the Universe is a narration of the epic story of the universe's development from an integrated perspective, creating a cosmology that weaves together science and humanities. This integrated cosmology provides a way to guide humans into the next period of creative and profound relations between humans and earth.
In 2011, The Journey of the Universe won an Emmy in Northern California for best documentary film.
Ferrer also teaches in the Integral Transpersonal Psychology and Integral Counseling Psychology programs.
Jessica Paden is an MA student in the Somatic Psychology program.

QFD is a powerful tool to support product definition and aims to link customer requirements to technical or engineering characteristics. The tool provides a conceptual map for communication across functions and provides a focus for design priorities. QFD promotes cross functional teamwork and negotiation and focuses the mind on 'what you don't know'.
QFD originated in Japan in the late 1960's and is used extensively in the far east to support product development in a range of industries including automotive, consumer electronics, clothing, construction and shipbuilding. Since the 1970's, it has become increasingly adopted in the west and has been credited with supporting the revival of the US automotive industry.
QFD is a tool to help structure product planning and design and aims to ensure that customer needs are focused on throughout a project from concept design through to manufacture. At the heart of QFD is the House of Quality which links predetermined customer attributes to specific technical characteristics.
Describing what the product must do, a structured list of needs and wants, determined by market research. Represents the Voice of the Customer.
Describing how the product may achieve its required performance in general terms which are not solution specific. Represents the Voice of the Designer.
Between the customer attributes and the engineering characteristics, indicating where there are strong, moderate or weak relationships.
Indicating the technical priorities based on the relationships between customer requirements and engineering characteristics. Also providing quantitative design targets for each of the engineering characteristics, based on the technical priorities and competitive benchmarking.
Recording how the engineering characteristics may be wither mutually supporting or contradictory.
