Schmidt modes in bright squeezed vacuum
Angela Perez, Gaetano Frascella, Mathieu Manceau, Kirill Spasibko
Bright squeezed vacuum is an interesting type of nonclassical light, generated through high-gain parametric down-conversion. It manifests strong quadrature squeezing and photon-number correlations. It is highly multimode, both in space and in time. This can be an advantage provided that we understand this mode structure and can control it or address single modes or mode pairs separately. To control the mode structure, we use nonlinear interferometers (a separate project). To address a single mode, we perform projection on the eigenmode of a fibre. In particular, we are interested in higher-order modes like the ones carrying optical angular momentum.
Generation of optical harmonics from bright squeezed vacuum
Kirill Spasibko, Denis Kopylov (with Moscow State University)
One of the important features of bright squeezed vacuum is extremely enhanced intensity fluctuations. This makes it very efficient for all multiphoton effects, including harmonic generation. We are using it as a pump in the generation of the third and the fourth optical harmonics and see that it is by orders of magnitude more efficient than coherent light. The generation occurs on the surfaces of nonlinear materials and also involves plasmonic effects.
Nonlinear interferometry with high-gain parametric down-conversion
Mathieu Manceau, Gaetano Frascella, Samuel Lemieux (with the University of Ottawa)
A nonlinear interferometer is a device where two nonlinear effects can enhance or suppress each other. For example, if parametric down-conversion occurs in each of the two successive nonlinear crystals, the nonlinear interference affects the mode structure of the output light. Moreover, the output light is very sensitive to the phase introduced between the crystals. This allows one to perform phase measurements with the accuracy exceeding classical limits.
Generation of photon triplets in photonic-crystal fibres
Andrea Cavanna, Cameron Okoth (with Division Russell)
We aim at observing a new quantum effect, direct decay of a high-frequency photon into photon triplets. This effect can take place in any material with cubic nonlinearity but we think that the best choice is photonic-crystal fibres. In particular, we are going to use gas-filled hollow-core fibres and the all-solid dual-bandgap fibres we developed recently.
Generation of photon triplets in bulk crystal
Cameron Okoth, Andrea Cavanna
We aim at the observation of a new nonlinear optical effect: direct decay of a photon in three, the inverse to the third harmonic generation. Besides being fundamentally interesting, it promises the obtaining of novel quantum-optics states and the observation of negative Wigner-function (quasiprobability) distribution. The most natural first step is to realize the `seeded' version of this effect in crystals with cubic nonlinearity.
Nonclassical states of light from colloidal quantum dots and their clusters
Luo Qi (with Laboratoire Kastler-Brossel and Palacky University)
Colloidal CdS/CdSe nanocrystals, so-called 'dot-in-rods' (DRs), are one of the most promising single-photon emitters due to their ability to work at room temperatures, relatively simple manufacturing, reduced blinking, and high degree of polarization of the emitted radiation. We study the nonclassical features of radiation emitted not only by single DRs but also their small clusters.
Future projects
Single-cycle squeezing
(PhD project)
In crystals with strongly aperiodic, rather than periodic, poling, one can generate very broadband pulsed squeezed light. The bandwidth can be so large that the pulses will be `single-cycle', with the pulse duration comparable with the period. This type of light will have ultrafast photon-number correlations, suitable for the sensitive probing of various effects on femtosecond time scale.

Lossless filtering of a single frequency mode of multimode light
(PhD or master project)
If a source of radiation, classical or quantum, is multimode in frequency, how can one filter out a single mode without introducing losses or admixing other modes? So far, no efficient solution has been implemented. We are going to do it using a dispersive element and the projective operation of a planar waveguide.
Observation of coupled spatiotemporal coherence
(master project)
Radiation of parametric down-conversion manifests an interesting type of coherence, with the spatial coherence coupled to the temporal one. In particular, under certain conditions the coherence function will have a funny `O'-shape in space and time. We are going to test it in a complex Young-Michelson experiment.
Bright squeezed vacuum in OAM modes
(PhD project)
High-gain parametric down-conversion produces bright squeezed vacuum in a large number of spatial modes. Most of these modes carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), an optical phase twist. Moreover, due to the photon-number correlations, each mode with a certain OAM value contains exactly the same photon number as the mode with the opposite OAM value, and these photon numbers are huge, up to 1010. This poses an interesting problem: to filter out these OAM modes, populated with equal photon numbers, and use them for the interaction with matter or for high-precision measurements.

iPhones, Androids and other smartphones are much more than just a way to call our friends and family and store their phone numbers. Today's smartphones have become our most personal computer and contain much more than pictures and contacts. They now allow us to access financial data, bank accounts, and medical information from anywhere at any time. And for many people, their mobile device has or is replacing their PC.
With all this convenience and access, comes some risk. Criminal hackers see this as an opportunity for them to access your information and make money. And so as the number of mobile devices has grown, McAfee has seen the amount of mobile malware grow.
The Android platform remains the largest target for both mobile malware and spyware. In fact, we see very few mobile threats that are not directed at Android phones. After a slight decline earlier in the year, Android malware has rebounded and almost doubled this quarter with over 20,000 samples.
The infographic below illustrates some of the ways that cybercriminals use to "infiltrate" your mobile device.
What most of these attacks have in common is that they allow a cybercriminal to take over your mobile device in some way. This is why it is critical to protect your mobile device.
Only buy apps from a well-known reputable app store, such as Google Play
Keep your operating system software updated
Be selective about websites you visit
Avoid clicking links in text messages or emails, especially if they are from people you don't know
Stay educated on the latest tricks, cons and scams
Use comprehensive mobile security, like McAfee Mobile Security that includes antivirus, anti-theft, and web and app protection or comprehensive device protection like McAfee All Access that protects all your devices including your mobile devices

IAM – Basics – Policy
If there's one thing that upsets me when I see articles and posting to forums about policy, its mention of a "Password Policy". I have to step away from the keyboard, go outside and take some deep breaths to calm down.
I get upset because policy is important and developing -- and more importantly communicating -- policy has been an important part of my career and the professional service I offer. Policies need to be easy to understand and follow and need to be based on business needs.
If you begin with a list of policies, you end up adapting the the reality of your business - the operations - to the list. You are creating a false sense of security. You need to address what you need to control, and that is Identity and Access.
Lets face it, passwords, as Rick Smith points out in his book "Authentication", are not only awkward, they are passée - even Microsoft thinks so. More to the point, using passwords can be bad for your financial health.
They should be used with care and not as a default.
And they should most certainly NOT be entombed in a corporate policy statement.
A policy is a high level statement on how the organization - not just IT - should be run. Passwords are not policy, the are controls. If you have a password policy then the people who use tokens, badges or swipe-cards are in violation because you have a Password Policy and not an Identity and Access Policy. So, are you going to add a Token Policy and a Swipe-Card Policy? Then you will need a SUPER Policy to determine which one to apply, and its not "Policy" any more.
Passwords, tokens swipe cards, biometrics and more are all implementations of controls. They are not Policy.
So what is a Identification and Access Policy?
The example I use in the workshops I give on Policy Development is this:
"Access to Corporate Information System resources will be restricted to
authorized users in accordance with their roles.
Users will uniquely identify themselves and be accountable for the
actions carried out under this identification."
Now in my workshops I try to get people to structure the policies in a logical manner. The template I recommend is to have a hierarchy below the policy statement like this:
1. Justification - the reason for this policy
2. Who/where/when/what this applies to
3. Consequences of Non-compliance
That is the core. However we normally speak of "Policies and Procedures" so I recommend keeping them together. The "procedures" part I treat as three sections.
First, there are the "Guidelines for Interpretation". While the policy core is very direct language and strong assertions, this is 'gentler' and more helpful. New situations are going to arise and the this second part of the policy will need to be "applied in context". I usually recommend a Wiki for this as it is a living document.
Second, there are the relevant standards. By making use of standards, be they industry norms or "standard operating procedures" developed in house they don't have to be part of the policy itself. These standards may be definitions, legal requirements or well established good practices.
Finally there are the actual procedures - the detailed instructions of what to do to fulfil the policy in various contexts. These may be extensive; they may be references to or copies of vendor instructions. Because they can be extensive and may be the most "living" part of the policy structure, again I recommend a Wiki or some kind of document management system.
Wikis usually incorporate search engines, cross reference capability, external links and the ability to attach or embed documents. Many also have good revision control and access control. All this makes them excellently suited for the management of Policies and Procedures.
Now, back to the policy statement I quoted.
It carefully avoids mentioning specifics. It talks of access to "Corporate Information System resources". Not servers, not workstations, not routers. Not even backups. No the raised floor area. It could be referring to the photocopier or even the photocopy paper!
With a small change to simply "Corporate resources" it could even apply to reserved parking spaces, to say nothing of Internet bandwidth.
And under the relevant 'standards' and applicability it can cover tokens and swipe cards and biometrics without the need to get approval again from the Board, because the 'standards' and 'procedures' are under Operations. Oh, and it covers passwords too.
So there you have a fully functional, fully generic clearly understandable and technology/vendor agnostic Identity and Access Policy.

"The Color of Water" James McBride Literary Elements Ruth McBride Jordan Plot of Ruth's Life Found Poem About Finding Himself Setting Conflict Theme Found Poem About Period of Struggle Speaking at 2008 National Book Festival Global Perspectives Interview James McBride "My grades plummeted."
"I began my own process of running, emotionally disconnecting myself."
"I quit church and avoided my deeply religious grandparents."
"My new friends and I shop lifted."
"The cops tried to crack down."
"While we scattered like flies into the junkyard."
"I was obviously hiding, and angry as well, but I would never admit that to myself."
"I ignored it."
"I did feel sorry"
"my heart beating so hard, it felt like a brick pounding against my chest, but not sorry enough." There are many different applicable themes for "The Color of Water."
Some of them would be:
The past doesn't determine the future.
This fits as a theme because both James McBride and Ruth McBride Jordan learn how to forget certain elements of their past and develop throughout their lives to blossom into the person they are today.
With hard work, anything is possible.
This theme works with the memoir, because throughout the book, the reader sees James and Ruth overcome their struggles. For example, Ruth wasn't exactly wealthy, and for the most part, she raised her many children on her own, but they all went on to college and earned very successful careers.
Life isn't always butterflies and rainbows.
An example of this would be Ruth's relationship with her father. He molested her and made her work excessively in his store. The setting of this memoir takes place in the 1920s all the way up to the 2000s.
As for the actual place that James McBride's and Ruth McBride-Jordan's lives develop, it changes quite a bit. The different places include Suffolk, Virginia; New York City; Louisville, Kentucky; Oberlin, Ohio, and Wilmington, Delaware. The major conflict is the fact that James is struggling to realize his true self. He wasn't very confident in his own skin when he was younger; however, he grows out of this. Throughout his life, he begins to accept his racial identity and develops into a successful human being. We disappear in a hurricane of race.
I was confused about how to discover myself or who she was.
I can't outrun time or money.
I can't bury the question of my identity.
Black skin, white skin, they are only colors.
Squeezed between, I question who I am.
Strange isn't it-the color boundary in my mind, the greatest hurdle.
I was confused about race.
Fortunately, I found myself.
My solution was to stay away from the color boundary, to fly solo.
I graduated. I worked successfully as a writer. I realized my talent.
I frolicked. I laughed. I was free from searching.
To the very end, Mommy helped to discover me. Ruth moved to the United States at the young age of two. As she got older, she worked in her abusive father's, Tateh's, shop. He sexually abused her when she was a child. Later in her life, she dated a black man named Peter and became pregnant. Feeling sick of the South, and wishing to experience the pregnancy freed of the reigns of her family, Ruth eventually moved to New York. Her mother knew of the pregnancy and sent her to visit her grandmother in New York, which caused Ruth to want to live there. Her move and her defiance towards her father caused Ruth's family to disown her, which shows as an element of pain throughout Ruth's life. In New York, Ruth met and married a man named Dennis. During this time, she converted to Christianity, and opened a church with Dennis called the New Brown Memorial Church. After having several children, Ruth was pregnant with their eighth child, James, and Dennis became ill with cancer. He died before James was born. Later, Ruth met her second husband, Hunter Jordan, and they had four children together. Writers style Plot of James' Life Throughout most of James' childhood, he struggled in understanding his racial identity. He also struggled with his mothers differences compared to other children's mothers. He even asked his mother, "What color is God's spirit," to which she replied, "It doesn't have a color. God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color." (p.51) Later in his life, as he got older, James went through a period of struggle in which he drank, stole, slacked in school, and did all kinds of bad things. After rediscovering himself, and realizing the wrong of the things he had done, James wanted to discover who his mother really was, so he visited her home town, Suffolk, Virginia. After all, James turned out to be a very successful man. He is a writer, composer, and saxophonist. He has written for the Wilmington (Del.) News Journal, The Boston Globe, People, The Washington Post (Style Section), the Philadelphia Inquirer, Rolling Stone, US, and Essence. Time and Place Geographical Images Suffolk, Virginia New York Louisville, Kentucky Oberiln, Ohio Wilmington, Delaware Cultural and Daily Life Images McBride Family Television show that

Bo-Bo sneakers here Red Hook Housing Projects Music James is very involved with music. He is the 1993 recipient of the American Music Theater Festival's Stephen Sondheim Award for his work in musical theater composition, including the jazz/pop musical "Bobos." James has written songs for Anita Baker, Grover Washington, Jr., and Gary Burton. James often tours as a sideman with jazz vocalist Jimmy Scott. Anita Baker Grover Washington Jr. Gary Burton Jimmy Scott James McBride's writing style in this book was very unique compared to what another author would have chosen to write like. James was a jazz musician as well as a journalist which causes him to write differently than an author. These two skills mixed together caused him to write in such an engaging way. James McBride skipped back and forth between his own life, and the life of his mothers. I thought this was very interesting because it was like two stories inside of one, and I wasn't bored reading it. Another unique thing about how he writes is he went from the past to the present or vice versa. For example, he was talking about a specific memory he had of going back to his mother's home town and then he started talking about her taking her husband's ashes way down south. James McBride's writing style is so much different than other writers that it really sets him apart and makes his writings very unforgettable in my opinion.

04:25 PM - December 16, 2013 by MMChrisS
Ah yes December. The time of Christmas, Hannakuh, cold weather, and Dallas Cowboy collapses.
While head chief Steve Noah (who is an avid Cowboys fan) probably doesn't approve of this news post -- I think it's important for us to try to figure out if there is a potential Madden rating, real or not, which could sum up how the Cowboys could take a 23 point lead and squander it over a half of football.
Is it some sort of Tony Romo 42ovr clutch rating? Is it a Jason Garrett playcall 44ovr rating? Do we give the Cowboys a special team ability that lowers everyone's ratings by 10-20 points as December hits? Is it simply the defense needs its ratings lowered for the Cowboys?
Sound off with your own ratings ideas to explain away the Cowboys collapse.

The FDA has announced that two prescription eczema creams will need to bear "black box" warnings of possible cancer risks. The creams, Elidel and Protopic, are now recommended for use only after other prescription medications have failed.
There have been nearly 80 reported cases of cancer in patients treated with the two drugs. Novartis Pharmaceuticals, which manufactures Elidel, announced that it is still confident in the safety and efficacy of Elidel.
In addition to the reported cancer cases, animal tests show an increase in cancer risk associated with the drugs.
These two popular prescription skin screams for treating eczema were linked to increased risks of certain cancers close to a year ago. It certainly took the FDA long enough to finally get around to requiring black box cancer warnings on both drugs.
Folks, given the risks, it is beyond ludicrous to use these creams in the first place, especially when there are many safer dietary solutions -- that treat real cause of the problem.
If you suffer from eczema please consider the following highly effective strategies:

The problem here is that you have a very fast connection, but the people you are downloading from may not be as fortunate and only have a slow dial up connection.
In the set up process the other computer may have been instructed to use the minimum bandwidth and thus you are restricted to the settings that it was set for.
You just have to hope that the person that has the media you wish has broadband also and that the instructions given to the download options have been set to maximum bandwidth or maximum when idle.
Hope this helps a bit.

|I wasn't sure I could love another Fabric line as much as I loved Children at Play but Sarah has done it again. She is so good at capturing the best of childhood; the place where kids are so lost in their imagination that the imaginary becomes reality. What I really love about her fabric is that I always know what I want to make. There is a lot of fabric I love but sometimes I am not sure what I want to make. So much better to be inspired to making along with loving the fabric!
|This is a cute narwhale print. I bought my fabric from Pinked Fabrics. Amy ships orders out super fast and has cute fabrics and trims. The pattern is a vintage Mc Call's pattern #7994. I love to sew using vintage patterns. My favorites come from the 50's (think Mad Men), 60's, and 70's. Dad drove by as we were taking pictures and distracted my girl.

Moga, Jan 18 (UNI) Punjab Mandi Board Chairman and President Punjab Unit of Bharti Kisan Union Ajmer Singh Lakhowal today strongly criticised the Centre for ignoring Punjab's request to waive Rs 25,000 crore debt of the farmers despite the assurance of the Prime Minister.
Mr Lakhowal, while interacting with reporters here, said that he had faxed a letter today to the Prime Minister seeking his personal intervention to press the Union Food ministry to release similar relief for waiving the debt of Punjab farmers which had accumulated to a whopping Rs 25,000 crore.
He was commenting upon the release of Rs 530 crore to waive loans of farmers in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala.
While welcoming the release of Rs 530 crore to the four states for waiving of farm loans, Mr Lakhowal stresssed that the Centre should apply the same approach for Punjab also.
He emphasised that Punjab farmers deserved a fair deal from the Centre as the state was contributing major share in the Central pool of wheat and paddy.

Unanswered: Highlight current field when have multi sub forms
I have multiple (Continuous Forms) sub forms on one main form
I'm using on got focus = clolorYellow([myfield])
on lost focus = clolorWhite([myfield])
Then public function clolorYellow(fieldname as control)
Fieldname. backColor = 65535
End function
2 issues
One, this function select that column (not just that record.)
Two, when I go to the second sub form, the first form field stays highlighted, I guess the on lost focus doesn't work because that field also has the focus.
Any help?

When a form is open in continuous or datasheet view, only the conditional formatting features can be used to change the appearance of a control based on some condition on an individual (i.e. row) base. Everything else will change the controls of the whole column.Have a nice day!

this answers the issue of coloring current control.
Do you also have a solution of the issue that 2 sub forms are open at once, and both are highlighted?

When you use the conditional formatting features of a control, it's appearance does not change whether it has the focus or not. Only the condition(s) you specified in the conditional formatting window matters. If the conditions are the same in both subforms, the specified format will be applied to the control(s) in both subforms.Have a nice day!

Very very sad. But this is where our media is today. As distrusted by the population as it has perhaps ever been.In a more general sense, 45% say that most reporters would hide information if it hurt the candidate they wanted to win. Just 30% disagree and 25% are not sure.
A separate survey released this morning also found that 50% of voters believe most reporters want to make the economy seem worse than it is. A plurality believes that the media has also tried to make the war in Iraq appear worse that it really is.

CRAIG Liddle's appointment as Sunderland's new youth team coach is just reward for his harrowing trials at Darlington.
That's the verdict of former Black Cats winger Neil Wainwright, who played for Liddle during the final three months of his spell in charge of the Quakers last season.
Liddle was this week announced as Sunderland's new under-18s coach after predecessor Kevin Ball was promoted to reserve team boss following the departure of Keith Bertschin to Hull City.
It's a far cry from the situation Liddle faced at Darlington last season where he found himself thrust into the impossible role of caretaker manager of a club who ultimately ceased to exist in their original state due to financial ruin.
Despite receiving plenty of plaudits for ensuring Darlington fulfilled their Blue Square Premier programme, the former Quakers youth team coach wanted to return to the day job of working with youngsters.
Liddle was hired by Sunderland during the summer and after being handled sole charge of the Black Cats rookies, Wainwright is confident the former Middlesbrough midfielder will prove a success.
Wainwright told SportMail: "In a sense, going to Sunderland is reward for the hard work he has put in. He deserves this job, which is a cracking one and one that's ready-made for him.
"I know he was not really keen on first-team management, he was forced into it to a degree.
"He works with senior pro's well, but he is really hard on himself and takes everything to heart.
"If the first-team loses, he feels it is fault and the pressure piles up.
"But with the youth team lads, it is less about results and more about bringing players on and he gets a great buzz about players improving.
"When I turned up at Darlington last season, I was amazed at the quality of the young lads there.
"With the sort of scouting network the big three North East clubs have got, then Darlington get the runt of the litter.
"But to produce the quality of players that Craig has, it shows it can be done."

Puducherry, Jan 30 (UNI) Employees of the Local Administration Department (LAD) boycotted work and staged a dharna before their office today.
The agitation was to condemn the municipal councillors, who picketted the LAD yesterday, and entered into a wordly duel with the LAD Drector LAD before submitting a representation to him.
The employees later took out a procession and submitted a memorandum to the senior Superintendent of Police, seeking protection to them.
It may be noted that when the councillors came to LAD to submit a memorandum to the Director Vallabhan to register their protest on the appointment of ex-servicemen as superivisors of the garbage cleaning scheme being operated by the municipality, without consulting the councillors or placing in the council meeting, Mr Vallabhan was not available following which, they picketted the office.
After the Director arrived, they entered into a wordly duel with him before submitting the memorandum.

A Monarchy Transformed narrates the tempestuous political events of the Stuart dynasty. Beginning with the accession of James I and concluding with the death of Queen Anne, it details the aspirations of subjects and sovereigns, the growth and decay of political institutions and the clashes of ideology and of arms that make seventeenth-century British history one of the most fascinating of epochs. Here can be found the story of the reigns of six monarchs, the course of two revolutions and of religious upheavals that shook the beliefs of seventeenth century Britons to the core. While the political history of England holds centre stage, developments in Scotland and Ireland, as well as the interaction of all three of the Stuart kingdoms, are carefully treated. The narrative is constructed to give full play to circumstance, accident and the impact of personalities in unfolding some of the most dramatic events of British history. Conspiracies, rebellions and revolutions jostle side by side with court intrigue, political infighting and the rise of parties. The personalities of political figures as diverse as the Duke of Buckingham and the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Strafford and the Earl of Danby, are captured in vibrant pen portraits. The characters of the two Kings James and Charles, of Oliver Cromwell, William and Mary and Queen Anne are assessed for their impact on the events of their eras. A Monarchy Transformed is a vigorous, concise account of the political developments that changed an isolated archipelago in the corner of Europe into one of the greatest powers of the Western world.
This sweeping, dramatic chronicle of a century of Stuart rule will rivet even the general reader with no particular interest in British history. Harvard history professor Kishlansky charts a tumultuous period of internecine wars, revolutions, political crises and endless religious strife, an era that saw England's union with neutralized Scotland, its conquest and plunder of Ireland, its acquisition of an empire in America. Each narrative chapter begins with a vivid italicized account of a key event (e.g., the trial and execution of Charles I in 1649; the 1628 knifing assassination of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, scapegoat for the failure of wars against Spain and France)-a device that works well, segueing into in-depth discussions of the political, social and economic conflicts that roiled Britain. There are magisterial, incisive portraits of Oliver Cromwell, fired by a millenarian vision of a glorious world to come; Catholic zealot James II, whose unprecedented, abortive libel suit against the Archbishop of Canterbury and six bishops led to his own ouster; and peacemaker Queen Anne, stubborn, unattractive, taciturn, yet beloved, whose rule brought the maturing of party politics. Kishlansky freshly delineates an age that opened with the public whipping, branding and mutilation of vagrants and closed with a newly defined interdependence of king, Parliament and the people.

GAO bans company from protesting-1 year
jason_a posted a topic in Proposed Law & Regulations; Legal DecisionsLatavian Connections, B-413442 has just been banned from protesting for 1 year. I've personally dealt with some of these when I was in policy. Here are a few interesting tidbits. http://www.gao.gov/products/B-413442#mt=e-report
Micropurchase Threshold and 2012 NDAA
jason_a replied to civ_1102's topic in Proposed Law & Regulations; Legal DecisionsCiv, the purpose of the change was to allow Reachback cells located in the CONUS to make purchases for OEF and OND at the higher threshold. This is shown by both the House and Senate reports. Below is from the House side, the Senate version is almost the same. I agree with ji though, I would wait for the policy or inquire about it. SEC. 843. REACH-BACK CONTRACTING AUTHORITY FOR OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM AND OPERATION NEW DAWN. (a) Authority To Designate Lead Contracting Activity- The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics may designate a single contracting activity inside the United States to act as the lead contracting activity with authority for use of domestic capabilities in support of overseas contracting for Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation New Dawn. The contracting activity so designated shall be known as the `lead reach-back contracting authority' for such operations. ( Limited Authority for Use of Outside-the-United-States-thresholds- The head of the contracting authority designated pursuant to subsection (a) may, when awarding a contract inside the United States for performance in the theater of operations for Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation New Dawn, use the overseas increased micro-purchase threshold and the overseas increased simplified acquisition threshold in the same manner and to the same extent as if the contract were to be awarded and performed outside the United States.
How to deploy as a civilian contract specialist?
jason_a replied to Contracting Contractor's topic in Contracting Workforceji, first I commend you on wanting to deploy. To me is one of the most rewarding and fun things you can do. In my travels over there the majority of the civilians I've met have been with ACE, DCMA, or contractors. I agree with Vern if you want to go over make some phone calls or think about moving to another organization. Good luck!
Limiting Competition to Only Local Firms
jason_a replied to Mike_wolff's topic in Contract Award ProcessMike, I'm not sure if you were talking about just normal purchases but if it is a declared emergency you can set aside for local companies: 26.202-1 Local area set-aside. The contracting officer may set aside solicitations to allow only local firms within a specific geographic area to compete (see 6.208). (a) The contracting officer, in consultation with the requirements office, shall define the specific geographic area for the local set-aside. ( A major disaster or emergency area may span counties in several contiguous States. The set-aside area need not include all the counties in the declared disaster/emergency area(s), but cannot go outside it. (c ) The contracting officer shall also determine whether a local area set-aside should be further restricted to small business concerns in the set-aside area (see Part 19).
What are you reading?
jason_a replied to Vern Edwards's topic in Contracting Workforce1776 by David McCullough. It's a good read.
Which wage is which?
jason_a replied to Xactly's topic in Contract Pricing Including CAS & Allowable CostsXactly, the Air Force looks at it as below. This was taken from the Davis Bacon desktop guide. (d) Carpeting: DBA applies if carpet installation is performed in connection with a construction or general renovation project. For purchase and installation of carpeting not covered above, installation is considered incidental to the purchase of the carpet (neither DBA nor SCA apply). SCA only applies to installation of government-furnished carpet. Incidental amounts of tile or linoleum work in entryways and/or restrooms would not normally affect coverage.
DCMA Approved Procurement System and Open Market Items
jason_a replied to Prezmil2020's topic in Schedules, GWACS, MACs, IDIQsPrez, no that won't satisy the requirements in FAR part 8. You'll still need to follow parts 1-4. As for your question about DCMA approved purchasing system, in a nutshell DCMA did a review of thier purchasing system and found it acceptable. Here is a link from the DCMA website that will explain it better. http://guidebook.dcma.mil/26/guidebook_process.htm
Increase an existing J&A
jason_a posted a topic in Contract AdministrationHypothetical situation that I'd like to get a read from some other CO's out there. Let's say you have an existing class J&A (-6) for XX amount. You want to increase the ceiling for in-scope changes that does not exceed the original approval authority. Under the AAFARS Informational Guidance IG5306 it states: Procedures for J&A changes ( b ) After approval. (3) After contract award, if the dollar value of an in-scope change exceeds the original J&A approval authority or increases the approved J&A dollar value by 50 percent or more, the contracting officer shall submit an amended J&A to the appropriate approving official. Clearly identify changes from the approved J&A. (4) A new or amended J&A is not required for: (i) a decrease in the dollar value or scope of the effort; (ii) an increase in the estimated dollar value of the in-scope effort except for an increase as described in (2) or (3) above. So the question is can you increase a J&A under 50% without going to the original authority? Is it against CICA to do it? These are some of the questions that have come up. I've looked at the GAO, and COFC but couldn't find much on this. Thanks,
Best Value when competiting task orders
jason_a replied to airborne94's topic in Contract Award ProcessCan you use Best Value Trade-off when competing IDIQ task orders? Yes you can if you so choose. FAR 16.505 gives you the leeway to do a number of trade-off procedures as long as you document it in the solicitation and use cost/price as a factor. Do you have to do IAW with FAR 15? Nope not at all. (B ) Orders under multiple award contracts? (1) Fair opportunity. (i) The contracting officer must provide each awardee a fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $3,000 issued under multiple delivery-order contracts or multiple task-order contracts, except as provided for in paragraph (B )(2) of this section. (ii) The contracting officer may exercise broad discretion in developing appropriate order placement procedures. The contracting officer should keep submission requirements to a minimum. Contracting officers may use streamlined procedures, including oral presentations. In addition, the contracting officer need not contact each of the multiple awardees under the contract before selecting an order awardee if the contracting officer has information available to ensure that each awardee is provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each order and the order does not exceed $5 million. The competition requirements in Part 6 and the policies in Subpart 15.3 do not apply to the ordering process. However, the contracting officer must? (A) Develop placement procedures that will provide each awardee a fair opportunity to be considered for each order and that reflect the requirement and other aspects of the contracting environment; (B ) Not use any method (such as allocation or designation of any preferred awardee) that would not result in fair consideration being given to all awardees prior to placing each order; ? Tailor the procedures to each acquisition; (D) Include the procedures in the solicitation and the contract; and (E) Consider price or cost under each order as one of the factors in the selection decision. Had to edit, all the B's were showing as smiley faces....
Multiple Contracts for Same Requirement
jason_a replied to JDRYKS's topic in Contract Award ProcessJDRYKS, before you get hit for not posting this in the newbie section your question is way to vague. But in some instances you need to look at multiple awards first. Again I don't know what you are exactly asking. In the example below you can see the use of multiple awards 16.504 Indefinite-quantity contracts c) Multiple award preference? (1) Planning the acquisition. (i) Except for indefinite-quantity contracts for advisory and assistance services as provided in paragraph ©(2) of this section, the contracting officer must, to the maximum extent practicable, give preference to making multiple awards of indefinite-quantity contracts under a single solicitation for the same or similar supplies or services to two or more sources. (ii)(A) The contracting officer must determine whether multiple awards are appropriate as part of acquisition planning. The contracting officer must avoid situations in which awardees specialize exclusively in one or a few areas within the statement of work, thus creating the likelihood that orders in those areas will be awarded on a sole-source basis; however, each awardee need not be capable of performing every requirement as well as any other awardee under the contracts. The contracting officer should consider the following when determining the number of contracts to be awarded: (1) The scope and complexity of the contract requirement. (2) The expected duration and frequency of task or delivery orders. (3) The mix of resources a contractor must have to perform expected task or delivery order requirements. (4) The ability to maintain competition among the awardees throughout the contracts? period of performance. ( The contracting officer must not use the multiple award approach if? (1) Only one contractor is capable of providing performance at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; (2) Based on the contracting officer?s knowledge of the market, more favorable terms and conditions, including pricing, will be provided if a single award is made; (3) The expected cost of administration of multiple contracts outweighs the expected benefits of making multiple awards; (4) The projected task orders are so integrally related that only a single contractor can reasonably perform the work; (5) The total estimated value of the contract is less than the simplified acquisition threshold; or (6) Multiple awards would not be in the best interests of the Government. © The contracting officer must document the decision whether or not to use multiple awards in the acquisition plan or contract file. The contracting officer may determine that a class of acquisitions is not appropriate for multiple awards (see Subpart 1.7).
Limits of Market Research for FAR 8 Buys
jason_a replied to Marine_1's topic in Schedules, GWACS, MACs, IDIQsMarine, I can tell you that other DOD organizations are not reading it that way. Also, another way to read that is you do market research to make sure you get at LEAST three, it doesn't say you need to place it on EBuy and get 30. Lawyers are for advice, a good lawyers advice is invaulable, but not all are good. A CO shouldn't agree just because a lawyer says something.
Eliminate the Air Force?!
jason_a replied to Vern Edwards's topic in Contracting WorkforceI can tell you one way they are fighting and that's contracting. Currently the AF has over 70% of all contracting spots and are on a 1:1 rotation, 6 months on, 6 months off. So if you look at the number of contractors over here, most of those are because of, or administered by the AF.
Question-Requesting Product Demonstrations by Other Agencies
jason_a replied to TLR's topic in Contract Award ProcessThis lends itself to be very subjective. For example what if Company A only had to modify it slightly. During your evaluation you see it's easy to use and functions smoothy. Company B on the other hand did a major modification. During thier evaluation it doesn't seem as user friendly and requires more input. How do you evaluate that? Will you have a software engineer looking at the modified code? You only mentioned the contracting office. I like the way of thinking but the application seems a little tough.

"Matt Taggart and others" <email@example.com> wrote in message [🔎] firstname.lastname@example.com">news:[🔎] firstname.lastname@example.com...
Hi debian-devel, For a couple years now a few of us have been talking about an idea called"multiarch". This is a way to seamlessly allow support for multiple different binary targets on the same system, for example running both i386-linux-gnu and amd64-linux-gnu binaries on the same system (many other working combinations exist as well). I have created a new page in the wiki to track info and status
My thoughts on a few multi-arch concepts. It is important to differentiate between the types of non-native files. There are files that are not native, but are intended to be used by nativeprograms targeting the non-native arch. These include things like arch-specific header files. It almost seems like these should be put in /usr/share/include/$arch-$os/. (where $arch and $os represent the target arch) That is because headers for cross compiling are normally dependent on the target arch, but not the host arch.
On the other hand, if we continue that thought process we could end up with all headers and libraries in /usr/share/, which is absurd.
Indeed, the current proposal almost seems to be reversing this.
Non-target specific libraries and header files remain in $prefix/lib and $prefix/include.It seems to me that libraries and headers that are not target specific are supposed to go in /usr/share. That is because if they are not target specific they are most certainly cross-platform.
Hm... This entire concept seems messy. It seems that processors that support multiple architectures, as well as cross compilition are begining to blur the line between /usr and /usr/share.

Allowing children to dress themselves is a vital step in nurturing their independence and creativity. Miss Charlie was recently sent some pieces from Chooze that allow her to do just that! MyChooze.com offers a line of fashion and shoes from a family-owned clothing company. Founded by a husband and wife, the line features a wide array of brightly-colored, stylishly mismatched prints specifically designed with a child's individuality and spirit in mind.
(Thanks to Chooze for providing us with adorable fashion. Any opinions are 100% my own.)
You can find everything from sandals to skirts to shorts, to dresses, and shirts like the Smartee Boho at MyChooze.com. There are styles for girls and boys, and Miss Charlie was recently sent a pair of shoes and a shirt to play around in. She's been in love with the Little Choice Boho Shoes and begs to wear them every time we leave. I'm guessing that means they are super cute and comfortable.
Every Chooze garment is made using vegan materials, and a fun added bonus, each order is shipped in recycled cardboard boxes covered in patterns specifically meant for coloring! Chooze is also a Good Returns company, with part of every purchase invested in entrepreneurial and anti-poverty programs for women. How awesome is that?! There are so many reason to shop at MyChooze.com!

Now when you try to go to TheSafeCig.com, you are directed to Seminole Ecig. Who are they? I'm not sure. I'm still researching. Not sure if this is the rebranded version of SafeCig or a partner company. A few people believe they had to shut down due to pending legal issues (I personally believe if this was true, news would have leaked ahead of the site going down).
So, once again I am not sure what happened. But, there is another company offering abandoned SafeCig users a helping hand. EverSmoke is offering Free Kit (Yep, free) to all Ex SafeCig users to tide them over (I'm sure it's more to get them to love their brand, which makes business since for them and… Free is free).
65% off Starter Kits From Eversmoke Till Nov 30th.
Find out about it at the new Sales and Promotional page, where I'll be posting as many sales as I find out about.
Green Smoke Finally Releases an Affordable Kit can Recommend to My Friends
Green smoke has received many complaints in the past about the price of their kits. It's a tough thing to explain to someone why Green Smokes kit is worth buying for 129.99, when mostly everyone else is at about 75 dollars. On top of that it's a KR808D-2 type thread, that's not that widely used, it's the new kid on the block. Now, I've actually tried Green Smoke and I really do like their batteries and Menthol flavor. The battery does last about the day of moderate vaping. Moderate for me is about 1/2 to a pack a day smoker. I do explain that they give 3 main extra pieces: The pass through and car charger that just about totals up to the price and 10 cartridges, 5 more than normal, but not everyone needs those, so again, hard to prove.

We describe a novel high pressure Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) system capable of resolving 3D resistivity distributions within laboratory core samples at representative burial pressures. The system is also capable of measuring the full 3D resistivity tensor from a single sample using a newly developed and efficient diffemorphic finite element technique. We present results on a microbially laminated dolo-mudstone reservoir analogue from the Middle Triassic Rottweil-Formation of the South German Basin and show that what at first appears to be electrical heterogeneity is in fact the result of anisotropy caused by a parallel tubular microstructure.

{Book Review} Vanquishing Ghosts & Demons: A Medium's Harrowing Tales of Removing Evil Spirits by Sandrea Mosses
by Sandrea Mosses
Publisher: Llewellyn Publications
Released: August 8th 2014
Genre: Non-Fiction- Adult: Ghosts, paranormal, hauntings
How I got it: NetGalley
The bizarre and terrifying true accounts in this book will have readers on the edge of their seats, aghast at what is "out there" and what can happen to those unlucky enough to cross pathways with deadly astral predators.
This book explores more than 30 case studies of spiritualist medium Sandrea Mosses and her colleagues as they battle ghosts, ghouls, and demons that have entered our world through portals or invitation. This is not a how-to book -- in fact, the author is quite clear that inexperienced individuals can actually cause astral onslaughts to escalate and unwittingly bring great danger into their own life. However with the proper people, training, and tools, dark entities can be beaten.
In her work, Sandrea Mosses has removed astral beings from people, places, and the land itself. She has encountered everything from eerie ghost hauntings to creepy other-dimensional beings to full-blown demonic infestations.
Review: I thought this was going to be a really interesting and spooky book, but I was so wrong. It was like a bad Sy Fy channel show. From the beginning when Ms Mosses claimed she had spirit guides one called White Feather and he was a Native American I just couldn't take the book seriously. For me Ms Mosses lost her creditability right there. It just seemed to tv for me. I have actually met folks in tune with the spirit world and my aunt studies Reiki Healing. Which is why this read to much like fiction for me.
I also felt there was way to much focus on demons. Granted I did expect some tales of demons, but it seemed about ninety percent of the stories were about demons. Which is just cliche in my opinion. I found the stories anticlimax, all ending pretty much the same. I wasn't even all that impressed with the writing. Basically this just wasn't for me.

text: Hey guys, hopefully just a mini emergency. Last I knew I was still running the original .9 leaked 2.2 froyo update. Tried installing bootstrap to upgrade to TBH's leaked .15 update and now my phone is stuck in the boot cycle the first time I tried booting in bootstrap recovery. I pulled the battery and tried booting into recovery, wiped cache and data, still can't get my phone to boot. Searched to see how to remove the bootstrap through adb to no avail. Figured it would just be easier to sbf, but remembered that was bricking a lot of people. Checked my bootloader and I'm on 30.01, but can't remember which version bootloader works with sbf. I found that 2.2 official OTA upgrades the bootloader to 30.03, but I'm still really afraid to sbf without confirming I'll be ok. TIA all

Google Summer of Code: Student applications now open
Last week, Google unveiled the 150 mentoring organizations selected for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2009, and students can begin submitting applications now.
Recently, I spoke with Leslie Hawthorn, Program Manager for Google's Open Source Team, and I asked her about what's new for this year's Google Summer of Code. Leslie says that she's most excited about the Melange project, which will make it possible to host GSoC and other projects on the Google App Engine. She says that all but one member of the committer team is a former GSoC student or mentor.
In addition to Melange and many returning projects – including the Asterisk Project and the Django Software Foundation – look for some new GSoC projects, including Sugar Labs, the community organization behind the Sugar learning platform. The Honeynet Project and Xelerance Corporation also make their GSoC debuts this year.
To search through the project list by category, visit: http://delicious.com/gsoc2009/
The deadline for student applications is April 3, 2009 (12 noon PDT /19:00 UTC). For more information, visit the blog announcement.

In honor of the upcoming Home Show season we thought it might be interesting to talk about Home Shows. We usually participates in 3 Home Shows per year: in January we offer a booth at the Puyallup Home Show and the Tacoma Home & Garden Show; and in March we offer a booth at the Tacoma Remodeling Expo.
Prepare yourself before heading out to a Home Show
The Home Show offers the opportunity to further research products and materials that you may be interested in incorporating in your home. It also gives you the chance to meet face to face and set up appointments for bids with contractors. Here are some things to bring to the home show to share with potential contractors:
- - Set a budget for your home remodeling or new home construction project
- - A list of your wants and needs
- - A list of any challenges that we might encounter
- - Gather plans and specifications (of both existing structure and desired finished product)
- - Gather pictures and magazine clippings of ideas and products that you may be interested in
- - Grab your schedule book
Common questions we hear at Home Shows
Q: How much will it cost per square foot?
A: We estimate each project based on plans and specifications and product selections. The price per square foot can vary tremendously from one project to the next.
Q: What areas do you work in?
A: We serve South King County, all of Pierce County and North Thurston County. Our service area is limited due to the expense of travel time. We want to be cost effective for the homeowner.
Q: How long have you been in business?
A: We started out in 1989 as Sweatman Construction Services. We incorporated and changed our name in 1995. That adds up to over 25-years of experience.

I very rarely back Kickstarter projects anymore but I'm backing this on the basis of the previous two books in the series (which were really good) and the fact that US and UK pledges are being sent out by the project creators in those respective countries (thus saving backers om paying additional P&P).
An anthology of comics inspired by Asian folktales, drawn by many amazing indie comic artists!
Bruce - I truncated your url (removed the http) to prevent it from autoplaying. For some reason it does it for some people and not others. Not sure why.
Cheers @RonnieM. It didn't autoplay for me so I figures it'd be fine.
I did the same thing and solicited feedback not too long ago. Some people said the videos were still autoplaying for them. I'm not sure what the difference is between users.
The campaign looks grim, but I really want to see this one succeed.
Oft! Half a million dollars? Fifty bucks for for a lanyard? Can't see that happening...
Wow. The production value on that video is pretty awful. They strung together a bunch of pre-existing footage and used an voice program for the narration. With film and video projects, I especially expect a decent pitch video. I wouldn't support a novice project who showed that little ability much less seasoned veterans.
I got the Skies of Fire books, with a sweet poster/print. They were in the MCM comic con in Dublin during August. It is a very well crafted book.
Thought I should give a shout out to B. Clay Moore's Kickstarter here.
He even popped in to Millarworld to promote it.
I picked up one of his previous campaigns, Bad Karma, and it was one of the best ran campaigns all the way through delivery that I've backed.
Super Science Friends: Episode 1 from Tinman Creative Studios on Vimeo.
This is from a friend who is helping with this project, wonderfully silly:
Ha, though I slightly suspect that this Kickstarter campaign is a trap.
There's a campaign to make a feature film of the old animated game, 'Dragon's Lair' and they just raised $250k to make a short version as a pitch for the movie.
The movie will cost $70m.
They had a Kickstarter up earlier. I took a look at it but their ask was a bit high for a lot of the pledge levels.
I agree, I'd love a t-shirt, but they are expensive.
Not a comic;
Farm your own "crunchy", edible insects in a desktop hive!
I seriously considered backing that, however the pledges that include the unit are much more than I could afford. Even though it would probably save me a lot if money in the long run.
One of my fellow posters at the Hudlin Entertainment Forums has a project:
That looks pretty good. I especially like the way he introduces the creative team for the book.
