Gunfire and shelling, in Juba, on 15 December 2013, signalled the beginning of a conflict that quickly spread to other parts of South Sudan, including Bor, Bentiu and Malakal.
The violence was sparked by a power struggle between President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his ex-deputy, Riek Machar, and continued for months into early 2014, generating civilian displacement on a huge scale.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) estimated that 575,500 people were internally displaced and 112,200 civilians fled to neighbouring countries, prompting ACT to provide emergency assistance in Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda (see information opposite).
It is thought that more than 450,000 people from South Sudan have sought refuge in those countries.
Various ACT members and partners conducted assessments with other NGOs and UN agencies to map the most affected areas and assess the most urgent needs throughout South Sudan.
ACT responded with food, temporary shelters, blankets, mosquito nets and other non-food items such as medicines. The emergency response prioritised the most vulnerable, including female-headed households, pregnant and poor women, children (particularly girls between 6 and 17 years old) and disabled people. Child protection was a key focus in several areas.
ACT also assisted in improving the water supply for refugee camps and provided latrines. Most of those internally displaced had experienced serious trauma, so ACT offered both one-to-one and group psychosocial work.
The emergency response in Kenya focused on the Kakuma refugee camp in Turkana County, providing new arrivals with shelter, water, protection and psychosocial support.
At a transit centre set up in Nadapal, just north of the Turkana district, ACT members assisted in providing new arrivals with accommodation, hot meals, water, sanitation and hygiene facilities and basic non-food items, such as sleeping mats and soap as they waited to be moved on to the Kakuma refugee camp.
Ethiopia witnessed the biggest surge in refugee arrivals, making it the largest refugee-hosting country in Africa with a combined total of 635,950 refugees, according to UNHCR.
By October 2014, more than 190,000 refugees from South Sudan had arrived in the country. ACT's reponse, run by three members, was targeted at Leitchuor refugee camp (with nearly 50,000 being accommodated there), Lule refugee camp, Tierkidi refugee camp and a number of other woredas (districts).
The priority needs were water and sanitation, livelihoods, psychosocial support, education and vocational training. Leitchuor, with little capacity in terms of water, shelter and other basic services, was declared unsuitable to continue housing refugees because of flooding, in August 2014, which caused extensive damage to infrastructure. The poor sanitary conditions posed a major risk to public health.
ACT members were working in the camp until it closed in September, when refugees were relocated to higher ground.
More than 123,000 refugees from South Sudan arrived in Uganda in 2014. In response, ACT worked in the clustered settlement sites around Adjumani in northern Uganda to provide improved water, sanitation and hygiene access for 22,500 refugees.
Support was also given to 42,000 refugees and 4,000 host community members to help build relationships and provide protection and psychosocial support.

Q: How do I make my images show 3x3, why do the last 2 go to the next row? Why don't my last 2 images in my 3x3 grid of images go to the next row below and my images aren't showing, how do I fix this?
http://dev.picstrap.com/
I'm still really new at this kind of stuff, sorry if this is a beginner question, thanks!

A: You have a defined
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
}

in the responsive.css (might be an external lib you are using).
That's why your 8th li (4*2) gets that behaviour. You can overwrite it with something like:
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: none;
}

Just make sure your selector weights more than the default.

A: you can split array using array_chunk($array,3);
<?php @foreach (array_chunk($array,3) as $rows){ ?>

          <?php @foreach ($rows as $row){ ?>

                 images+ description

          <?php } ?>

<?php } ?>

In this class, students will also learn the technical aspects of acting. Our instructors will also introduce various western acting methods for our students to explore so that they could perform truthfully on the stage or in front of the camera. Students will have to learn to analyze the script, research on the characters, exploring the dramatic structure of the play and ability to apply different acting methods to portray different type of characters. This training also encourages them to work as an ensemble to bring the play alive on stage.


This is a sneaky look at some recent Devon Wedding Photography of mine. These are some recent shots of a wedding in Devon on the South coast. The weather was wet, wet, wet. Rain all day until the evening, then it cleared for a few minuets allowing us to get outside and grab a few shots. This was definitely the wettest wedding of the year. I have a selection of galleries featuring my Devon Wedding Photography. I am hoping that this will add to my selection.
This was the wedding between Alice & Sanj on the 3rd Sep 2016. They were an amazing couple that dealt with the rain like pros. They kept cool and enjoyed day. As you may or may not know the speeches are my top part of the day, something that I really love, and this wedding delivered some amazing speeches. I hope that you enjoy this sneaky peek and I hope that you will share my work. If you would like to know more about my wedding work please contact me.

Samuel L. Jackson Is Contractually Living His Best Life
The legendary actor (and Aziz Ansari) are giving a crash course in the art of luxe and powerful living.
By Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images.
You can't tell Samuel L. Jackson what to do. Not even if you're, say, a director on one of his movies, a figure technically tasked with telling the actor what to do. Jackson does what he pleases, revealing in a refreshing New York Times interview that when he's on a movie set, he's basically in charge.
"I can be a hard taskmaster for some directors," the actor said. Yes, filmmakers fear him. The 68-year-old star takes full advantage of the fact that he's one of the highest-grossing actors of all time, saying that he has the "option to go golfing twice a week written into all of his film contracts," the NYT writes. Jackson also revealed that he simply refuses to do extra takes: "I'm at that point where I can say: 'Uh, you know, that's not going to be in the movie, right? We already got it, we got it when we did this, that, and that. I'm not going to do that.'"
If you can say "I'm not going to do that" to a high-powered peer or boss and still thrive, that's when you know you've made it. Let's call it the Jackson Test. Try it out on your boss today! (Unless you're, say, a woman, in which case you will probably be labeled "difficult"—until Jill Soloway topples the patriarchy, anyway.)
Jackson's NYT interview arrives shortly after Aziz Ansari's cover story in GQ Style, in which that actor revealed he too takes a carefree approach to work now that he's reached a certain level of success. The star is riding high on waves of critical acclaim for Master of None's second season, and has spent the last year living all over Italy, Paris, and Tokyo, picking up languages and skills and enjoying his riches.
"I was talking to a friend of mine the other day," Ansari said. "We both have more money than we ever imagined . . . I don't need to make more stuff. I've made a lot of stuff! I'm financially O.K. I'm not gonna make stuff just for the sake of making stuff. I want to make stuff 'cause I'm inspired."
Hence trotting the globe and living the good life, rather than, say, sketching out Master of None's third season (which is still up in the air). Ansari, who is also so carefree that he deleted the Internet off his phone (no e-mail, no social media, nothing), was pointedly candid about his life choices, admitting that this approach is unusual in his and Jackson's industry.
"I hope more people get very successful and then quit," he said. "Shouldn't that be the game? That you make a bunch of money and just move to Italy and live a quiet life? No one does it! You do a bunch of shit and you just want to do more shit. Tom Cruise! Look at that guy! He will not stop. He's still making these fucking movies."
Tom Cruise will not chill out, though—and that's what separates him from the Jacksons and the Ansaris. Interview by interview, those two are sketching out an idealistic lifestyle guide for What to Do When You're Suddenly Rich and Powerful, while avoiding the celebrity trope of earnest workaholism. Not that there's anything wrong with that either. But if you're ever tired of hearing about that lifestyle, it should be very clear who your two new role models should be.
15 Hollywood Movie Reboots That Took Forever to Come to Life
From Universal/Everett Collection.
It's not often that a remake becomes more popular than the original, but that's what happened with Brian De Palma's bloody reimagining of this gangster tale, starring Al Pacino as cocaine kingpin Tony Montana. Now most people think of the iconic black-and-white poster, or a gun-toting Pacino screaming, "Say hello to my little friend!" before they think of the original 1932 film. Universal has since tried to recapture the magic with yet another remake, but every attempt has fallen apart. Most recently, director Antoine Fuqua has left the project, though Diego Luna has signed on to star and the Coen brothers have agreed to tackle a potential script. What happens next is anyone's guess.

How will a court consider a parent's absence due to military duty?
What happens if a deployed parent does not attend the court hearing for a petition to modify the custody order?
The court cannot change a custody order while one parent is absent due to military duty (deployment).1 If the parent who is not on military duty files a petition to change custody, the court is not permitted to modify or amend the custody order that was in effect on the date of deployment. However, if it is in the child's best interest, the court is permitted to enter a temporary custody order while the parent is deployed.1
1 51 Pa.C.S.A § 4109(a)
Yes – under certain conditions. If a parent receives notice of deployment, the court may issue an order temporarily granting that parent's custody rights to his/her family members. The custody rights could include shared, primary, partial, sole, or supervised physical custody and/or shared or sole legal custody.1
However, the following circumstances must be met:
The parent leaving for active duty and the family member(s) seeking temporary custody must petition the court together;
The petition must include a proposed schedule for care of the child by the family member(s);
The proposed custody schedule cannot go beyond the custodial rights of the parent leaving for active duty; and
The court must find that temporary custody with the family members is in the child's best interest.2
1 51 Pa.C.S.A § 4109(a.1); 23 Pa.C.S.A. § 5323(a)
2 51 Pa.C.S.A § 4109(a.1)
If a temporary order is issued during a parent's military duty, the judge will reinstate the original custody order that was in effect before the parent's deployment once the deployed parent returns.1
1 51 Pa.C.S.A. § 4109(b)
If a parent petitions to change custody after the return of a deployed parent, the court is not permitted to consider the deployed parent's absence as a factor when determining what custody arrangement is in the child's best interest.1
1 51 Pa.C.S.A. § 4109(c)
Under normal circumstances, if a respondent doesn't appear in court to answer a petition to modify a custody order, the petitioner may be able to get an order based on that parent's default. However, a person's failure to appear in court due to deployment is not a sufficient reason to change a custody order in that person's absence.1

WINDSOR CASTLE (BBC) May 19, 2018 – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become husband and wife in a moving ceremony at Windsor Castle.
An emotional-looking prince and his smiling bride exchanged vows and rings before the Queen and 600 guests at St George's Chapel.
Ms Markle, wearing a white boat-neck dress by British designer Clare Waight Keller, was walked down the aisle by Prince Charles.
After the service the couple – who will now be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – kissed in front of cheering well-wishers on the steps of the chapel.
Thousands of members of the public turned out in bright sunshine to see them driven around Windsor in a horse-drawn carriage.
Later, Prince Harry drove the couple to their reception in a silver blue Jaguar, with a registration plate that referenced the date – E190518.
Guests at the wedding included Oprah Winfrey, George and Amal Clooney, David and Victoria Beckham and Sir Elton John, who later performed at the wedding reception.
Ms Markle's sculpted dress was designed by Ms Waight Keller for French fashion house Givenchy.
Most striking was a diamond bandeau tiara, loaned to her by the Queen, and a trailing five-metre silk veil embroidered with the flowers of each country in the Commonwealth.
Prince Harry, 33, and his brother and best man, the Duke of Cambridge, wore the frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals.
He was given special permission from the Queen to keep his short beard as it is customary to be clean-shaven when dressed in Army uniform.
Their 10 young bridesmaids and pageboys – including Prince George and Princess Charlotte – rose to the occasion.
However, the excitement became too much for one of the younger ones who started crying just before Ms Markle, 36, entered the chapel.
Prince Charles walked Ms Markle down the aisle, after her father, Thomas, was unable to attend for health reasons.
Ms Markle's mother, Doria Ragland, stayed with her daughter overnight before accompanying her to the chapel.
Dressed in a pale green Oscar de la Renta dress, with a neat hat, an emotional-looking Ms Ragland sat alone on the bride's side of the chapel for some time.
As the witnesses were called to sign the register, Ms Ragland appeared to accept an outstretched hand from Prince Charles with some relief.
In her vows, Ms Markle did not promise to "obey" her husband, while the prince has broken with royal tradition by choosing to wear a wedding ring.
Prince Harry's ring is a platinum band with a textured finish and Ms Markle's has been made from a piece of Welsh gold.
The wedding service combined British tradition with modernity and the bride's African-American heritage.
The Most Rev Bishop Michael Curry, the president of the US Episcopal Church, gave an address, the Rt Rev David Conner, Dean of Windsor, conducted the service and the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, officiated.
"There's power, power in love," said Bishop Curry, who was invited to speak by Ms Markle.
Lady Jane Fellowes, the sister of Prince Harry's late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, gave a reading from the Song of Solomon.
Karen Gibson and The Kingdom Choir performed Ben E King's soul classic Stand By Me during the service.
As the bride and groom signed the register, 19-year-old cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason – who won the 2016 BBC's Young Musician – performed three pieces by Faure, Schubert and Maria Theresia von Paradis.
He was accompanied by musicians from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the English Chamber Orchestra and the Philharmonia.
The gospel choir also performed Etta James' uplifting version of Amen/This Little Light of Mine as the newlyweds left the chapel.
After the service, the duke and duchess travelled through Windsor along a route lined by tens of thousands of well-wishers.
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead said more than 100,000 people visited the town on Saturday.

Q: Core Data Syncing with Ensembles: Failed to merge: The operation couldn't be completed. (CDEErrorDomain error 204.) I am experiencing the same problems outlined outlined in this bug report. I too synced my data with an old model version, and now I cannot sync again.
I completed the troubleshooting steps in that bug report:

*

*Deleeched my ensemble

*Deleted the Core Ensembles data in
~/Library/Mobile Documents on my Mac and waited a few minutes to make sure it didn't come back

*Downloaded my container from my phone, deleted everything in
caches (AppData/Library/Caches,
AppData/Library/Preferences/com.mentalfaculty.ensembles.eventdata, and AppData/Library/Application Support/<my bundle id>/com.mentalfaculty.ensembles.eventdata)

*Deleted my saved iCloud ubiquity token from the app's plist (for good measure)

*Replaced the container on my phone with the modified container after deleting the caches

On trying to sync again, I am still getting Failed to merge: The operation couldn't be completed. (CDEErrorDomain error 204.)
Since the error message is still "Error in Merge", though, I assume I'm not deleeching or otherwise getting rid of all my Ensembles data somewhere.
Any ideas?

Trey Friesen is still reaping the benefits of having extremely successful athletic exploits in 2018.
The 17-year-old, who excels in both soccer and track and field, has been chosen as the male athlete winner by the Manitoba Aboriginal Sports and Recreation Council (MASRC) for the past year.
He will receive his award at a ceremony in Winnipeg on April 13.
Friesen, 17, is Cree and a member of Saskatchewan's Key First Nation. But he's been raised by his adoptive parents, mother Joy, who is Metis, and father Danny. He lives on an acreage near Kleefeld, Man., about 15 kilometres west of Steinbach.
Friesen won numerous awards during the past year. But his accolade from the MASRC is extremely meaningful for him.
Friesen was caught off guard when he answered his phone a few weeks ago and informed that he had won this award.
Friesen doesn't really have an off-season. He trains year-round for his soccer as well as indoor and outdoor track pursuits.
"It's a nice big award at the end of it," he said.
Friesen, a Grade 12 student at Steinbach Regional Secondary School, served as the captain of his high school soccer squad this past fall. The club ended up winning the provincial boys' AAAA championship this past October.
The Manitoba tournament was staged in Swan Valley.
Friesen plays a number of positions in soccer but was primarily utilized as a forward with his provincial championship team.
Friesen, who also received an athletic achievement award from his school for participating in various sports, also had several notable track accomplishments in 2018.
He participated in 400-metre and 800-metre races at the Canadian track and field championships this past July in Ottawa.
"They were more for long-term development," Friesen said of his participation in those events.
Friesen also took part in the Canadian youth (under 18) track and field championships staged this past August in Brandon, Man.
He placed fifth in his 400-metre hurdles event. For that performance he was awarded the male hurdler of the year award by his club, the Winnipeg-based Optimist Track and Field Club.
He's been a member of this club for four years.
Friesen also had some medal-winning efforts at a pair of other meets.
He won a gold medal in his 400-metre race and a bronze in his 800-metre event at the Regina Indoor Track Games last February.
And he was part of the Manitoba entry that captured a silver medal in the 4x400-metre relay at the Western Canadian Tri-Province Championships this past July. That meet was held in Sherwood Park, Alta.
In terms of a favourite sport, Friesen said he doesn't have one.
Friesen, who is finishing up his high school studies now, is hoping to continue his athletic career at the post-secondary school level.
But he isn't quite sure where that will be yet.
Friesen said he will in all likelihood attend a college or university in Manitoba.
Meanwhile, Kennesha Miswaggon from the Cross Lake First Nation, was selected as MASRC's female athlete of the year.
Miswaggon, who plays hockey, has spent the past three seasons toiling for the Winnipeg-based Balmoral Hall Blazers.
Miswaggon's coaches and teammates unanimously voted her as the team's captain for the 2018-19 campaign, her Grade 12 year.
Miswaggon also represented Manitoba at the 2018 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships (NAHC). This event was staged this past May and hosted by Nova Scotia's Membertou First Nation.
Miswaggon helped Manitoba capture the gold medal at this tournament. She was also a member of the Manitoba entry that won the title at the 2017 NAHC in Cowichan, B.C.
Besides its female and male award winners, the MASRC also selected female and male coach and volunteer of the year recipients.
Lezley Sutherland of the Peguis First Nation and Keith Mason, a member of the Fisher River Cree Nation, were named the female and male coach of the year, respectively.
And Marilyn Murdock and Tristan Dreilich were picked as the volunteers of the year. Murdock is from the Fisher River Cree Nation while Dreilich, who is Metis, is from Gonor, Man.

Thurman K. Case -- Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Finance
Thank you and good afternoon. Joining me on today's call is John Forsyth, Cirrus Logic's Chief Executive Officer; and Chelsea Heffernan, our Vice President of Investor Relations.
Today, we announced our financial results for the second quarter fiscal year 2022 at approximately 4:00 PM Eastern. The Shareholder Letter discussing our financial results, the earnings press release, including a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information to the most directly comparable GAAP information, along with the webcast of this Q&A session are all available at the company's Investor Relations website at investor.cirrus.com. This call will feature questions from the analysts covering our company, as well as questions submitted to us via email at [email protected]
Please note that during this session, we may make projections and other forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from projections. By providing this information, the company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any projections or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or otherwise. Please refer to the press release and Shareholder Letter issued today, which are available on the Cirrus Logic website and the latest Form 10-K, as well as other corporate filings made with the Securities [Phonetic] and Exchange Commission for additional discussion of risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.
Now I will turn the call over to John.
John Forsyth -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Thurman. Before we discuss our results, I would like to make a few comments on today's announcement that Thurman is planning to retire from his position as Chief Financial Officer. I want to take this opportunity to thank Thurman for his outstanding dedication and commitment to Cirrus Logic over the past 21 years. All of us here greatly appreciate his many contributions to the company's growth and to the development of a world-class finance organization during his nearly 14-year tenure as CFO. Thurman will remain in his current role while we conduct a comprehensive search to identify his successor and will work to help ensure a seamless transition to that successor in due course. I want to thank Thurman sincerely from all of us at Cirrus Logic and wish him all the very best in his next chapter.
In other news, before we get to the quarter's results, I'd also like to say how excited we are to have recently welcomed Raghib Hussain to the company's Board of Directors. Raghib has a deep knowledge of the semiconductor industry, strong technical expertise and a track record of both operational and strategic success. We believe he will be an extremely valuable addition to the Cirrus Logic team as we look to continue our growth momentum through innovation in mixed-signal products and expansion into new technologies and markets.
Turning to the results now. Cirrus Logic reported record revenue and earnings per share in the second quarter, while also delivering year-over-year operating profit growth. Revenue was $465.9 million, up 34% year-over-year and our highest ever for the September quarter, due in large part to the ramping of components ahead of customers' new smartphone launches. During the quarter, we also made great progress on the strategy that we've outlined to diversify meaningfully beyond audio passing, as we did, several major milestones in the high-performance mixed-signal products area of our business.
These included increasing the attach rate of our camera controllers in smartphones, bringing a new power conversion and control IC to market, and sampling new fast-charging products to our general market customers. These accomplishments represent a significant expansion of Cirrus Logic's technology and product mix, with our high-performance mixed-signal business delivering 30% of total revenue in the first half of fiscal '22, up 117% from just a year ago.
As we discussed in the Shareholder Letter published on our website today, we continue to be very excited about the opportunities these new technologies offer for further growth and diversification in the future. Before we begin the Q&A, I would also like to note that while we understand there is intense interest related to our largest customer, in accordance with our policy, we do not discuss specifics about our business relationship.
Operator, we are now ready to take questions.
Thank you. [Operator Instructions] And the first question comes from the line of Matt Ramsay of Cowen. Your line is now open.
Matt Ramsay -- Cowen -- Analyst
Thank you very much. Good afternoon everybody. First off, Thurman congrats. It's been great to work with you down the years and all the best going forward. For my -- I guess my first question -- John, congrats to the whole team on getting Lion Semi closed. I wanted to pick your brain a bit, if you think about your current power IC roadmap and the technology and the people that you'd be acquiring from Lion that are now within the company, how -- can you ballpark for us what kind of integration efforts might be underway to bring those two product lines together and what kind of timeline could we look at as sort of a minimum and then I guess a realistic timeline of when you could have product in market that would be fully integrated between the two companies? Thanks.
Thank you, Matt. Yeah, I'll try to talk to that. I want to explain that some of the way we think about this is that we really want to give more ammunition to the Lion team and help them build out their roadmap and expand across customers and into other new markets as rapidly as possible. Of course, integration is a goal because we believe the technology that the Lion team have developed can be highly complementary to other things we're doing. But actually the first priority is execute on pretty significant raft of opportunities they have in front of them. The second priority is continue to expand that and accelerate the roadmap. And then the third priority is exploit the synergies between those technologies and other areas of our business.
So right now, clearly Lion -- the team there has seen a lot of interest within certain smartphone vendors. They are running extremely fast to execute on that and then continue to expand it because that's still a market that has some ways to go in terms of rising expectations and demands on performance. So we're excited about that, but then we also believe that there are other product categories that can benefit from that charging technology.
Now -- so all of that's by way of saying our initial focus is really just helping the Lion team execute, scale up a bit and service more of the demand that they have in front of them and we're really -- it's an amazing group of people that we got there. We're super excited to be doing that and then increasingly we do see, further down the road, opportunities for synergies between the Lion technology and some of the other IP that we've been working on. I think we haven't laid out a timeline for that yet, but that's something we're very excited about internally, just to give you a little bit of flavor for that. We really believe that having the opportunity to innovate simultaneously, both in the charge path and the discharge path around the batteries, really being able to deliver the silicon that sits around the battery can deliver great value to our customers' products in due course.
The Lion IP and technology clearly represents the charge path of that and then a lot of what we've been doing elsewhere is more focused on the discharge path. So it's highly complementary. It will take a good while to actually converge, given the number of opportunities that the team is addressing in the near term.
Now, I really appreciate all the color there, John. As a quick follow-up, it's been topical over the last six, nine months that in certain portions of the notebook market and that audio codecs from some other suppliers have been a bottleneck and you guys have called out in the letter and maybe on the -- I think on the last earnings call as well, opportunities for Cirrus to grow into the notebook market I guess. So maybe you could help me quantify how large those opportunities may be in the next six, 12, 18 months. And, John, do you consider that strategic business or opportunistic business and how are you investing there? Thanks.
Yeah, that's a great question. Thank you, Matt. The nature of the comments in the letter were actually intended to tease apart the opportunistic and the strategic elements to it because it's a bit of both. And I think when we talked about seeing revenue grow in our laptop engagements, there was a -- there is a little bit of the reaction that, yeah, well, the supply chain disruption created opportunistic situations where that could occur, which, to be clear, has been true to date, but there are also some meaningful underlying factors that are strategic for us. So we've picked up a reasonable amount of codec business, especially over this year. We'll continue to build on that. I think there are reasons why a number of those customers will want to continue using our technology. We tend to be fairly difficult to dislodge once we get in somewhere. But the underlying factors, which is actually what we were shooting for originally, of a transition more toward boosted amplifiers, a transition toward potentially haptic trackpads and the kind of growing requirements around audio and video, those were the things that we saw happening with or without any COVID-related supply chain disruption.
So those represent a decent opportunity for us to continue to grow. Our estimate of that over the next five years is that, that looks like something along the lines of the $400 million SAM for us to tilt at. So that's focused on the segments where we would play. It would tend to be at the upper end of the notebook market, it would tend to be the devices, which we're really focused on, premium performance, on being stand [Phonetic] and having very high power efficiency and so on. But given that we see opportunities across audio, maybe haptics, maybe power in those segments, it means the total ASP per device -- the total content per device may actually be pretty significant and that's reflected in that SAM.
Thanks very much, John. Congrats again, Thurman.
Next question from the line of Tore Svanberg of Stifel. Your line is open.
Tore Svanberg -- Stifel, Nicolaus & Company -- Analyst
Yes, thank you. And, yeah, let me echo -- say congratulations to Thurman, going to miss you. And since this may be your last earnings call, you will get the first question, Thurman. So could you elaborate a little bit on the $255 million payment for GlobalFoundries? How is it going to work out as far as securing the actual capacity? I mean, is this a one-time payment and then what do you get in return?
Well, I mean, essentially there were two pieces of this. We paid $225 million of the Capacity Reservation and Wafer Supply Commitment and $175 million of that was pre-payments for wafers. Further out in history -- actually [Indecipherable] forward and it will -- that will last through '26 and then there was a $50 million of a reservation fee and that will be amortized over the life of the contract. So that's how those will show up. In addition to that, during the quarter, we exercised an option for a new technology, which essentially resulted in a $10 million more of non-refundable capacity reservation and $20 million more pre-payment. So -- and this was a technology that we did not have visibility when we -- it was part of the first agreement, and as we got more visibility for the opportunities associated with this, we decided to take that option. And by the way, this type of investment will see revenue quite a ways down the line. So this isn't going to be something you would see immediately.
Great, thank you for that color. And maybe as a follow-up to John and kind of related to that agreement, obviously, you're trying to drive the high-performance mixed-signal business much higher and you mentioned moving to the 22-nanometer node. Is this related to that or, to Thurman's point, does this go beyond that?
Yeah, no, I would think of those two things as being separate, Tore. The 22-nanometer investment that we have been making, and you're right, has been going to quite some time and is pretty well advanced. So there isn't really additional technology enablement fees that we envisage relating to that. There will be a place for 22-nanometer, we believe, in both our audio and our high-performance mixed-signal business areas. So it kind of cuts across those two. The additional fees and technology enablement investment that we made with Global, that Thurman's referring to, is outside of that, it's not related to 22-nanometer. It's related to some other technology, which would serve products in the high-performance mixed-signal area for us. That was something where, as Thurman says, at any one time, we've got a bunch of new opportunities we're working on, that should represent some SAM expansion for us.
One of them was kind of -- we were working on it during the time we were cutting that agreement with Global but it wasn't something that we felt we'd landed. So -- but it was a significant opportunity for further diversification and revenue growth. So we kind of put a provision in the agreement for it and then obviously much more recently activated that, given that we got more confidence and line of sight over the -- our ability to win that opportunity and then go ahead and execute on product related to it. But that's in a new area that's not covered by the 22-nanometer commentary we've previously provided.
Great, thank you for that. Just one last question. Could you talk a little bit now about the attach rate of the camera controller? I mean are we talking about sort of one for one? And as you mentioned next generation in this area, should we expect sort of like new devices every year or is it more every two years? Any color there would be great.
Yeah, thank you for the question, Tore. I don't think we know for sure what the cadence is going to be around the camera device updates. I think -- and I say that because if you look across our other product lines, the cadence varies over time, like when you go through a period of accelerated innovation, then it can be a fairly rapid evolution and then it can stabilize for a while. In the case of the camera investment we've be making, to date, it -- really what we've seen is a growing attach rate based on the same solution from us. But as I've indicated elsewhere, we've got a really good roadmap and a really solid amount of investment across innovations in that area and I think it's a reasonable expectation here. We don't want to talk in detail about our customers' product plans. But I'm on fairly safe ground, given that for the most part, I don't know them in relation to this area. But I think if you look at what we are planning to do and what we're investing in, I think you'll probably see some kind of pattern whereby we're bringing in increased functionality of the top end and then there is some mix of those devices in -- across the products over time.
The attach rate, obviously, on this cycle has risen. And that's been really very positive for us. It again has been one of the drivers of that growth in high-performance mixed-signal revenue that we've seen which is very important for the company. And then also just if you look at the total content that we see across some products now at the upper end of that, there are smartphones in the market now with eight of our products in them, so, four of which are high-performance mixed-signal category products, and four which are audio category products. So that's a really, really positive trend from the point of view of driving that increased product diversity and technology diversity. Obviously, in the long run, we want to continue that path and diversify the revenue as it grows as much as we can.
Sounds great. Congratulations on the results.
Thank you, Tore.
Next question from the line of Blayne Curtis of Barclays. Your line is open.
Blayne Curtis -- Barclays Capital -- Analyst
Thanks for taking my question. Offer my congrats to you as well, Thurman. Maybe just first, I wanted to ask, if you look at the revenue outside your largest customer, it's about $50 million. I think that's around the level that you were talking about for Lion. So just kind of curious how that came in post the acquisition. And I'm kind of just curious, as you look at that bucket, you have a lot of moving pieces outside your largest customer now. I think there's a lot of thoughts that there may be -- the Android handset market might be a little weaker at the end of the year. I think people are looking for things like PCs and tablets to be a little softer, but then you have all these new wins and I know, as someone mentioned on prior call, that the audio codecs been short so you might have some opportunities. I wonder if you could just balance all those as you look outside your largest customer and any perspective into the end of the fiscal year would be very helpful.
Yeah. Thank you, Blayne. Obviously, we guide for the current quarter. When we look out to the end of the fiscal year, I mean, it feels this year, more than most, It feels like an awful long time between now and March. So there is a lot of uncertainty there. I would say the biggest thing going on -- we've got great design momentum. I think we have a stronger and more diverse relationships across Android and other parts of our business outside of smartphones than we've had in recent years. The biggest factor weighing on those areas really is supply. So that's -- we're still comparatively constrained. I think we've commented elsewhere that where we work with customers on a longtime horizon, we are in a very strong position from a supply point of view, but a lot of the Android demand over the past year has being a lot more erratic. So we're kind of very much focused on the upper end of the market there, making sure we can service those sockets and we could probably grow the business faster if we could grow the wafer supply. That's a fairly universal challenge right now.
Thanks. And then maybe the follow-up, maybe the harder one to ask, but your largest customer was talking about constraints having -- impacting their -- shipments of their products. Kind of just curious, is there a way you can talk about seasonality and are you also -- as you look to December, are any kind of constraints prohibiting what you can ship in that quarter? And then does that translate into any kind of different seasonality for March?
Right. I think that's a great question on the seasonality actually, Blayne. I would say when it comes to our own constraints, this kind of falls into the category I just referred to that that's an area of our business where we tend to be very focused on the long-term collaborative planning with the customer. So we've generally been in a very good position to execute against some pretty phenomenal production ramps that we've been seeing and we've obviously got a lot of volume through the end of the year -- this year. So it's not really any different from the way it has been in the past where we've encountered our challenges as typically being in the areas with shorter planning horizons as I've said.
Regarding how that maps on to seasonality, I would say that that's where, for us, even to the point of guidance being challenging here, we see very strong demand, but there is volatility in how the servicing of that demand gets scheduled because we've been -- our long-term planning with our customer, our long-term planning with the supply chain has really stood us in excellent stead as has our investment in capacity agreements at the supply chain level. But if there are other suppliers to our customers, who those customers depend on, who are gating or who are constrained, that can just mean that some of our material is subject to rescheduling as a consequence of that.
In a quarter like the present one -- so a couple of comments about that. In a quarter like the present one, it does mean you have so much material here in any one given week, a small amount of rescheduling across the boundary could have a pretty major impact. But it also would appear, and this would be consistent with what you've heard on earnings calls last week, that the fact that there are some constraints in the present quarter is certainly teeing up strong demand for the first quarter next year. So we're obviously not guiding that, but the signals that we've been getting so far have been that our customers are very keen to maximize the amount of material they can get during that first calendar quarter as well. So that may actually have a -- something of an impact along the lines of what I think you're getting at there.
Next question from the line of Christopher Rolland of SIG. Your line is open.
Christopher Rolland -- Susquehanna International Group -- Analyst
Thanks guys for the question, and congrats, Thurman. I really enjoyed working with you. So I guess now that you guys have integrated Lion, can you talk about perhaps a quarterly contribution that you see, but also the growth rate that we might expect going forward? And conversely, should we think about a growth rate for your organic power business or power products as well?
Yeah. Thank you. We haven't broken out growth rate specifically for those areas. I think the way to think about Lion on a quarterly contribution basis would be, to date, it's been in line with what we expected and we talked about something of the order of $60 million contribution during the remainder of the fiscal year from deal close to fiscal year end. We still believe that we're tracking to that and they were, and I think we talked about this last time out, themselves -- they were on a relatively steep growth path. They had a lot of momentum within their customer base. So, I think certainly over the next year or two, we're excited about what can happen with that part of our business even if we're not necessarily breaking out the individual growth rate.
The growth rate in the rest of our power business right now would frankly look completely meteoric, given that it was pretty much zero until a few months ago, and now we've got a one to one attach rate with one of the best products on the planet. So I think that's obviously going to stabilize a bit, but what I would say is that, that represents a couple of things for us. One is just a really big tangible step in the direction that we've been talking about of diversifying really meaningfully the technology areas where we have proven expertise and leadership. And I think that can really help the business long term, as well as, obviously, the revenue contribution that we see today. But also that is really the first step in a whole series of things that we want to accomplish there and there is a pretty well-stocked pipeline of ideas and IP and test vehicles, which we're investing in to kind of continue to grow that. So much as -- I'm not putting a number on it, we -- you'll be able to see from our comments that we're very excited about where that can take us in the medium term.
Okay. And I guess kind of tying into this as well, can you talk about opportunities that you have captured in phones today for some of these products, including your power product, but also things around cameras and the possibility to broaden into new devices as well, whether they be tablets or laptops or perhaps some other devices?
Yeah, absolutely. So when you look at, in particular, those areas you talked about, which constitute a lot of our high-performance mixed-signal business, so on the camera side. Obviously, that's focused on smartphones right now. We've seen a growth in the attach rate. I think that what we're doing there is highly applicable to other products that contain cameras. Obviously, what we are doing is kind of stabilization and focus-related. We've talked about that elsewhere. So any -- it'd typically be a camera that moves around, rather than one that's fixed somewhere. So we'd certainly like to find ways of expanding that -- the reach of that technology into other products. In the power space, so we launched during the quarter, the power conversion and control IC that's in a recently launched flagship smartphone. So there's one of those pad device right now that's custom silicon, obviously, and we are very focused as a team on serving our biggest customer, first and foremost, and kind of continuing to execute on that is priority number one for the team.
But it's also clear from everything we're saying that we're making a lot of investment in this area and we really believe we can be innovative around the battery. So that certainly represents a a great opportunity to broaden and expand our business. And I think you can certainly think some of the other devices that you mentioned such as tablets and laptops and so on could certainly be places we would seek to land some of that technology as well.
Thanks again. And congrats, Thurman, again.
Next question from the line of Ananda Baruah of Loop Capital. Your line is open.
Ananda Baruah -- Loop Capital -- Analyst
Hey, thanks guys, good afternoon, for taking the questions. Congrats on the strong results and, Thurman, congrats as well, certainly. Two, if I could. One may have [Phonetic] to be a clarification. But in the Shareholder Letter, when you guys spoke about accelerating -- in the laptop space, accelerating ahead of your strategic objectives, is that a general comment or is that what you're sort of seeing as we go through the fall here? Would love to get context there. And then I have a quick follow-up as well.
Thank you, Ananda. That comment relates specifically to the growth in our laptop business and what we're communicating there is that when we set out to engage customers in the laptop space, outside of our largest customer, where we already had business, we were principally focused on what we see as an emerging opportunity to sell boosted amplifiers into those devices. Those devices are getting thinner and thinner, they are moving from an HDA-based architecture to a Soundwire-based architecture. All of that means that they are going, in some regards, to look a lot more like smartphones architecturally than they have in the past. And so it's a very close adjacency for us. We've got a huge investment in boosted amplifiers for smartphones, really well-established leadership there. And so we formulated a plan to go after that market.
That's really where those strategic objectives lie that we referred to there. It just happened that as we started engaging customers with that, they responded very enthusiastically, but also were very keen to get a supply in codecs and, in fact, had some more accelerated interest in haptic trackpads than we were expecting. So there were more moving pieces in a positive sense there than we were initially anticipating and that's what we're communicating. So that -- it's been moving quickly for us to the point where, as of today, were designed into four out of the five largest notebook OEMs and we expect to see a fairly steady stream of new devices containing Cirrus Logic content in that category come to market over the next year.
That's great. And is this something that you believe could become fairly meaningful over time than the incremental opportunity that you see?
I would put it as, it's definitely going to be a really solid addition, I think, or has the potential to be a really solid addition to our overall revenue. And it's an area where we can really leverage the investment that we've made in audio technology for smartphones. In terms of magnitude, the investment that we were making and the opportunity we see around the power and charging and battery space is going to be more significant for us long-term.
Understood. And then just my follow-up quickly is, just when we look out over the next handful of years, and this is not asking for a guidance, but just anecdotally, so we can all calibrate our expectations directionally, Should -- can you remind us what our expectation for margin should be, gross margin, operating margin? And should we expect some expansion in the coming years? And that's it for me. I appreciate it.
So, our gross margin target is -- our model target is 50% gross margin. We believe that, that level is really important in order to fund the kind of R&D and innovation that we bring to our customers. So we continue to shoot for that or better as we bring new products to market. I think the -- any potential expansion of that, we haven't communicated anything around that. I think that's -- that will require more market diversity than we have today, given the economics of the markets that we're in are pretty well-established and understood. But I have been clear elsewhere that I think a lot of the investment that we've been making in the high-performance mixed-signal space, both organically and through the acquisition of Lion and so on, are really important stepping stones to being able to broaden our market reach into other product categories. And so that may open the door to it, but we've really not communicated anything about longer-term gross margin expectations.
Next question from the line of Rajvindra Gill of Needham. Your line is open.
Rajvindra Gill -- Needham & Company -- Analyst
Yes, thank you, and congrats on strong execution in light of the very, kind of, volatile environment. And I echo my congratulations to Thurman, best of luck. Thurman, if I could just start with you, just on the gross margin, a follow-up to the previous question, I think in the last earnings call, you mentioned that the gross margins are expected to kind of remain stable in the near term. But you're at sort of lower -- slightly lower in fiscal year '23 on pricing pressure. So I just wanted to get an update on your view on kind of that commentary in fiscal year '23. Obviously, broadly, semiconductors are experiencing price increases across a lot of components, given the constraints that's existing. So I just wanted to understand the pricing dynamic.
Yeah, I'm going to step in on that there. I think, I recognize what you're saying about the overall market environment. We've seen costs increase during this year for us across a number of areas of the supply chain, and we'll see further cost increases as we go into the new calendar year. Clearly, our goal is to offset those increased costs, both through working hard on the supply chain side and through price updates to our customers. Obviously, we've got some pretty unique products and our customers really depend on us for innovation and for world-class engineering execution, and we require solid gross margins to support the kind of investment that's required to deliver that. And I think our customers understand that.
So today, our team is focused on working very closely, both across our entire supply chain base and across all our customers in order to minimize the impacts of those cost increases to our gross margins. So that has to be balanced a little with the fact that we cultivate and build really deep long-term relationships with our customers. So we've obviously got to ensure that we seek to offset our costs in a way that's fair and it preserves the relationships with the customers and is consistent with us managing the business for the long term because that's what we do.
But taken all those things together, we'll continue to work on pricing with our customers. The way pricing updates go, they don't necessarily sync perfectly with cost increases and that can lead to a bit of volatility around gross margin. And when you take all of that together, we felt it was appropriate to signal that we may -- we're likely to dip below the model target in FY '23. But we're very focused on preserving the gross margins and the gross margin target that we've laid out in our model and we believe is a reasonable one and an important one for the health of the business.
Okay. Yeah, thank you for that information. And just one, a follow-up on the GlobalFoundries deal. Thanks for the breaking [Phonetic] of the different components. But wondering how the capacity addition that you're getting from GF with the pre-payments that you made for the wafers. Are you -- that amount of supply, the capacity you're getting, is that enabling you to feel comfortable about kind of your growth rate going into next year? I'm just trying to balance the near-term capacity that you're getting from GF relative to your ability to support your top customer, but as well as expand into some of these other growth areas like tablets and wearables and with Lion as well. The pre-payments that you've made, that you've gotten for the wafers, is that going to impact the capacity situation in calendar '22?
In calendar '22, yes, it will. We expect during calendar '22 that additional capacity will be coming onstream as a consequence of the -- some of the investment that Global has been making on the back of the kind of partnerships that we put in place with them. This year is, of course, more of the case where that capacity hasn't really expanded yet. So we are able to serve our biggest customers by virtue of long-term planning. Could we sell more if we could get more wafers? Absolutely. And could we sell more next year if Global could expand their capacity faster? Yes, absolutely. But at the same time, we are through that deal, putting ourselves in a position where we have greater wafer supply, quite meaningfully a larger number of wafers during next calendar year relative to this year and that supports -- that would be supportive of a healthy amount of business growth.
Now -- yeah, to your point, there may be areas of our business which could expand more rapidly if we are able to get more supply. But I think we are in a good spot relative to the actual capacity that exists in the industry until that starts to expand.
Thank you. Next question from the line of David Williams of The Benchmark Company. Your line is open.
David Williams -- The Benchmark Company -- Analyst
Hey, thanks, guys. Thanks for letting me ask the question and congrats on the quarter and congratulations to Thurman there. So quickly, just wanted to ask maybe from a mix management perspective, you talked about constraints earlier. Is there any part of the margin maybe that's benefiting from mix management as you think about selling your products on the limited basis if you have available to you?
Well, the bulk of our products by value in terms of share of our overall revenue are going to be driven by the unit sales of the -- our largest customers' products. So we don't really have a role to play in terms of managing the mix of that. We are just focused on supporting our customer getting as many devices as there is -- as is humanly possible. There are other parts of our business where we are -- we've been able to adjust pricing and obtain capacity increases and drive fairly high margin returns on those devices. But that's comparatively small volume and small amounts of revenue for us. So it doesn't really move the needle in the overall scheme of things for us. The most important thing for us really is getting as much capacity as we can, focused on the products of our largest customers because that's really where the bulk of our revenue is tied up.
Sure, thanks for that. And is there maybe a way to quantify your customer diversification as we kind of think about the Lion products coming in and maybe the diversification efforts that you have? How do you think about that diversity as you look out maybe a year or two versus where you are today in terms of your mix of customers?
That's a great question. I think this is a part of the story where because our -- we have so much of a successful business and a growing business with our largest customer based around their largest selling products that it can kind of overshadow the progress we've been making elsewhere to some extent. I alluded earlier in the call to the fact that we went from close to a standing start to having multiple products in design with four out of the five top notebook OEMs. We're in three out of the top five tablet OEMs now, with two out of the top three truly wireless OEMs, and all of those were in flight prior to the Lion acquisition and Lion certainly brings us additional products that we can leverage to increase diversity, both in revenue terms and engage new customers. So I think there is a path there that we're on, which is a very encouraging story and one that we'll continue to grow as we reach beyond audio and drive more high-performance mixed-signal growth with -- in the general market as well.
Thank you. Next question from the line of Vivek Arya of BofA Securities. Your line is open.
Vivek Arya -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
Thanks for taking my question, and best wishes to Thurman from my side as well. I had two questions. First one, John, what are your sales from the non-smartphone tablet market right now and where do you think they can head to over the next one to two years?
Yeah, we don't break that out, Vivek. So it's comparatively small relative to -- are you asking specifically tablets? [Speech Overlap] That's healthy but comparatively small part of our business relative to the smartphone contribution.
I see. And for the second one, balance sheet is still strong, but when I look at the payment to the foundry, your cash balance will be under $300 million exiting the December quarter, if my model is right. Is that a comfortable range for you since you typically like to operate at higher levels of cash? So any puts and takes would be very helpful as we model the cash, and if there is any need for financing, etc., going forward.
Sure. Well, basically, we would say that $200 million to run our operations and manage our operations over a period of time is an area where, as long as we're at that level or above, we're comfortable. We did see that the cash dropped, that the last quarter reflected our deal with Lion and also then included in this quarter's numbers will be the Global Foundry deal. So you're not going to see us building it, but we have really, really strong cash flow. We have no need for financing at this point in time. We may go -- we have that need if we go down the road of M&A or some things like that, but for running our business right now, we're fine. We won't draw on our revolver or need financing. And you will see, as we move through the end of this year, the March quarter and the December quarter are much -- are our highest generation for cash. So you will see us start moving back up toward the end of the fiscal year.
Thanks very much.
Next question from the line of Derek Soderberg of Colliers Securities. Your line is open.
Derek Soderberg -- Colliers Securities -- Analyst
Hi, guys. My congrats as well on the results and to you as well, Thurman. Just one question for me on haptics. There has been sort of a lot of talk lately about this metaverse and movement to a digital world. I'm curious, John, how we should be thinking about that opportunity for Cirrus as it relates to haptics or maybe elsewhere, potentially things like full-haptic body suits and things like that. I'd be curious if you're investing in new products for these opportunities there, if there's anything you'd like to comment on for your haptics opportunity there and timeline for when those opportunities might hit, that'd be great. Thanks.
Yeah. Thank you, Derek. That's a really interesting question. I think our expectations, unit-wise, are very modest there, but we are actively engaged with a lot of the folks who are blazing trails in this area. So I think we've commented elsewhere that we have a great track record of engagement and being designed into most of the AR and VR equipment that's been on the market to date. We continue to talk to those customers about both audio, haptic and certain other areas really as a -- yeah, as a long-term bet. I think it could take a long time before we're all wearing haptic suits, but I'm also a big believer. From a haptic perspective, for example, I think haptics have the potential to make the virtual objects real. So it really does seem like it has a role to play in that particular kind of user experience. So we have some very cool technology around haptics. I think we have the right customer relationships. I think our expectations are that it's a long road there but we feel that it's an interesting one to keep a certain amount of investment and engagement focused on.
Awesome, thank you.
Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Next question from the line of Matt Ramsay of Cowen. Your line is open.
Thank you very much guys for letting me jump back in for a follow-up. Hopefully it's a quick one but it's something that I do get asked about. So on the last call, you guys sort of talked about this 50% up gross margin target and you just reiterated it may dip a little bit below that in fiscal '23. But there's three things kind of going on at the same time, right? There is the broad-based foundry industry raising prices, there is the GF deal for wafers that you guys are doing, and then there is the integration of Lion. And I just wanted to explicitly ask if the new gross margin targets that you guys have talked about over the last couple of quarters incorporate all three of those. I guess it's just somewhere in the investor bases there might be another shoe to drop. I don't think there is, but I just wanted to clarify. Thank you very much.
Right. Thank you, Matt. Yeah, the commentary that we provided last quarter is pretty much identical I think to what we reiterated this quarter. And so even though, as you point out, a couple of more cards got turned over during that period. So at this point, what we're messaging around gross margin there is it fully embraces everything we know and everything we think about the current environment and what we can see about the coming fiscal year. So from our perspective, 2021 feels like a crazy year to say, hey, there is no other shoe to drop. But from our perspective, we're really embracing all the information we have there and that obviously includes everything you just alluded to. So yes, I think that answers your question. But let me just check that I don't need to clarify.
No, no, John, perfect.
That's very clear. Thank you.
Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Next question from the line of Christopher Rolland of SIG. Your line is open.
Thanks, guys, for the follow-up. My question is on opex. It looks like opex be a good guide going forward, a nice kind of higher level here for OEMs too, above your target at least for next quarter. It seems like you guys have had a lot of new products that you've been ramping and supporting recently plus the Lion integration. Are we done with opex spending and this kind of better opex that we have here, do you think we can maintain this for a while or is there a reason to believe there could be some catch-up in spending?
Well, I think that we've talked about and we will continue to talk about, we'll continue to invest in R&D and it will be focused R&D on particular technologies or products or customers that we want to invest in and I think John has touched on that a bit in the meeting already. So as you look for this quarter, that is the guidance for us and it's right around flattish to the last quarter, but if you look at Q4, we would give you a heads up that in Q4 we're going to see payroll taxes and health funding and a lot of those things that happen only in the March quarter so you can expect an uptick there. And you can expect that we'll continue to invest in R&D. What we can do is leverage our SG&A line. We think that we have the infrastructure in place that will allow us to leverage that as we grow revenue in the future and will become a lesser percentage of our overall operating expense.
Yeah. Thank you, Thurman. I'll maybe just jump in with a quick additional comment there to add a bit of longer-term color, Chris. I think our take on this or my take on this is, we want to be really strategic about opex. So when you look at -- you will have seen the headcount number rise quite significantly in the last quarter relative to the previous quarter's messaging. Almost every single one of those heads was related to power engineering. So -- and from our perspective, that's where we see a really great raft of opportunities ahead of us. So it's the right thing to do for the business to go attack those opportunities as best we can, accelerate the Lion team and grow in the other power areas that are in front of us. By contrast, I think as we continue to grow revenues, I believe we'll see increased leverage from opex, especially on the SG&A side, as Thurman said, and that should be favorable to operating margins as we go forward.
Thank you. And I will now turn the call over to Chelsea Heffernan for additional remarks. Please continue.
Chelsea Heffernan -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Thank you, operator. There are no further questions today so I'll turn the call back to John.
Thank you, Chelsea. In summary, we delivered record revenue and earnings per share for the September quarter, ramped shipments in numerous new devices and passed major milestones in some of the key strategic initiatives that we expect to drive revenue growth and profitability as we go forwards. With a rich portfolio of high-performance products today and a roadmap that will continue to strengthen our position as a leading supplier of innovative mixed-signal solutions, we are really excited by the opportunities in front of us for the future.
I'd also like to note that we will be participating in the Barclays Conference on December 8. Please check our investor website for the details on that. And if you have any questions that were not addressed today, you can submit them to us via the Ask the CEO section of our investor website.
Finally, I'd like to thank everyone for participating in today's call. Goodbye.

Terra Lago, South Course Hole 2: The second hole of the day makes great use of the canal that shows up from time to time. The drive must stay left of it, but try to hug it as much as possible for the best angle across the canal to the green on the other side.
Terra Lago, South Course Hole 4: This par three makes the golf feel like they are in the middle of nowhere, which is where the ball will be if it misses the green by much in any direction.
Terra Lago, South Course Hole 5: This long par four requires a good drive over or just right of the fairway bunker to leave a good angle to the green, but has a wide fairway that will accept a safer route. It is a classic easy bogey, hard par type of hole.
Terra Lago, South Course Hole 6: This long par three requires another shot over the canal, but has a fairly easy bailout short and right of the green. Thus, the golfer can rely on chipping and putting to negotiate a par on this two-tiered green.
Terra Lago, South Course Hole 8: The second par five on the course is very long and the golfer must contend with a series of lakes to the right on at least the drive and second shots. The green complex is fairly straight forward, with a couple of sand traps to avoid.
Terra Lago, South Course Hole 9: The ninth is a very long hole and the drive must stay right of a bending canal, but left of bunkers and desert to the right. The green is then perched on the edge of the canal with deep bunkers and swales right to catch the less-than-bold effort.
Terra Lago, South Course Hole 10: The back nine opens with a very tough par four. The drive is docile enough with only a very long drive left reaching the water. However, the golfer who lays back too much will have a very long shot over water to a shallow, but very wide green with no room for error short or left.
Terra Lago, South Course Hole 15: This is the shortest par four on the course and is driveable for very long hitters. For everybody else, it still does not require much length, but the fairway is tight and there are a lot of bunkers a long the way, as well as OB on both sides. Left pin placements are much easier than right, due to the huge bunker short-right of the green and the shallow nature of the putting surface.
Terra Lago, South Course Hole 17: This little par three has a wide, but shallow green with the center being lower than the left and right thirds due to tiers. The bunkers short and desert long encourage the player to pick the right club off the tee and try to hit a high, soft shot that will stay on the putting surface.


Patronages are meant to provide deserved publicity and support to an organization. The Queen of Britain ponders upon it quite calculatedly before any transfer of authority. Looks like Meghan Markle has finally come under her reliable radar!
Previously, the Sussex stunner had met the Queen for tea at Buckingham Palace and discussed which patronage she would like to take on. Her Majesty was readily set to give Meghan one of her royal patronages in the upcoming new year. The expected fields of the Duchess's interest were either education, female empowerment, or solely the arts. Time to lower the curtain and make the big reveal!
On account of the Duchess' unconditional kindness and compassion, this responsibility was bound to happen sooner or later. Reportedly, she would've preferred to work behind-the-scenes. Probably in order to perfect her first royal patronages before announcing them to the world. But for her associates, the excitement was just too high to handle!
Without gaining the royal consent first, someone at the National Theatre made it his own news to publish. In the spur of thrill, the theatre accidentally published that the Duchess of Sussex would be their official royal advocate on their website. Confirming it with a photo celebrating the brilliant news.
So, yes, art it is, the perfect fit for the former actress. The Queen has certainly bestowed her the best possible role!
Morally deeming it entirely Meghan's secret to share, some social media users got upset that it was leaked. Others just sprung out strings of compliments saying why she is almost too perfect for the job.
This is Awesome! And why not? She has the background knowledge, the hunger to work, and desire to make a change. Go duchess Meghan! woooo....hoooooo!!!
Ugh, nothing is ever official with her. She leaks and plays PR games to force hands. This "accident" would NEVER happen with any other royal member and the announcement would come from KP. Now she's forcing the Queen's hand.
We heartedly congratulate the Duchess on this new honor and condemn any protocol-breaking news. Share this and let us know your expectation from the Duchess' future ventures!

While many teens are more than happy to live in casual gear like jeans and tee shirts, graduation ceremonies are a special occurrence. Wearing career clothing helps graduates and their families appreciate the solemnity of the day. By following the dress code, they can begin to see how they'll be expected to dress and conduct themselves in the adult world.
Shoes: Dress shoes such as pumps, loafers, Oxfords, flats, etc. Most schools ask to avoid sneakers or sandals.
Clothes: Dresses, dress pants, collared shirts, button downs, blouses, skirts, ties, suits, etc. Gym shorts, jeans and t-shirts are typically a no-no.
Hair: While this may or may not be addressed, some schools may prohibit outrageous hairstyles that would be deemed distracting. Brightly colored Mohawks or neon orange hair might fall into this category.
Picture taking is one of the hallmarks of graduation. By requesting that graduates stick to a dress code, photos of the day will be much more flattering. Nearly everyone wants a picture not only of his or her cap and gown but probably in an open gown. Wearing dress clothes underneath makes for a smarter looking photo than jeans and tees.
What to Wear to High School Graduation?
Choosing what you are going to wear to graduation can be stressful. Finding the right outfit and accessories can make or break your look.
When looking for the perfect dress, you want to find something that fits you well but isn't too tight or revealing. Select something comfortable and beautiful for your pictures. Given that most graduations are in June, it's important to look for something that won't be stuffy or hot in the summer under your gown. Dresses with short or cap sleeves work perfectly. Additionally, most girls might opt for a knee-length skirt rather than a full length. Also remember this is graduation, not prom. You want formal but not too formal. Therefore, you might opt for a flowery sundress or black business style dress. Pairing your dress with a strappy pair of low heels or Mary Janes can really complete your ensemble.
A suit is also a flattering choice for both girls and guys. You might choose a suit with a pencil skirt or slacks. Black or pinstriped suits give off just the right amount of sophistication for graduates. Again, remember with summer, you might want to avoid wool suits. Pairing your suit with a snazzy tie or blouse that matches your school colors can really pull this look off. Oxfords, loafers or pumps work to set off your professionalism.
Girls and guys that are looking for something a bit more casual might choose to pair black or khaki dress pants with a collared shirt or blouse. A collared shirt in a muted tone like gray, white, light blue or even your school colors can be paired with a tie for added flair. Polos or button-down shirts in a variety of colors also work well. Girls might choose a loose solid blouse in a rich color like blue, gray, yellow or even purple. Additionally, blouses in floral patterns work as well. Slacks can work well with pumps, Oxfords, loafers or elegant low heels.
You want your fashion accessories to set off your look. Therefore, look for necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that work with the colors in your outfit.
You might try a gold necklace with a pendant or a cross. Pearls are also a great choice for girls.
Earrings should be on the minimum and small hoops or stones.
A cuff or charm bracelet might be appealing. You might also choose to set off your wrist with a watch as well.
Girls might try hairpieces like headbands, combs, clips, and barrettes.
Just remember that your accessories should complete your professional look, not distract from it.
The shoes you wear can make or break your outfit. Choose colors and styles that work with the style and color scheme of your clothes. For example, Oxford dress shoes might not pair well with a flowery sundress. You might try light, airy shoes or something with a little color. Pumps and Oxford shoes look great with a suit. A skirt or dress might be paired with knee boots or even an open-toed wedge. And remember, a black shoe pretty much goes with any outfit.
What to Wear to Graduation for Guests?
While a dress code can't be enforced on the graduate's family and friends, school administrators always hope that everyone involved in the ceremony-from school staff to the graduating class to the audience can make the celebration special without dissolving into immature displays. When you are going to a high school graduation, you should aim for business casual attire. This means that men might wear slacks, button downs or polos. Women might choose a dress suit or slacks and a blouse. The thing to remember is that you are not trying to attract attention. If choosing patterns go for something that isn't eye-grabbing. Neutral tones or black is always a good choice. Women might also look at pale floral pattern skirts or shirts. Bright colors, ill-fitting or flashy clothing should be avoided.
Beyond proper dress, a graduation should encourage proper behavior as well. When teenagers forego their usual attire of jeans and sneakers and don more formal clothing, they show the world they are moving on to adulthood. So, find the outfit that fits your style while showing the world how grown up you've become.


After trying Microwave potato chips, I always wanted to try some baked chips. I felt like having Banana chips, and instead of deep frying, baked it 🙂 Crispy and healthy snack. I prepared it in two batches, one with just salt and one with salt and chilli powder.
