"Nine months after doubling its portfolio by acquiring more than 20 former PennWell brands from UK-based Clarion Events, Endeavor announced Monday that it has now purchased much of Informa Intelligence's industry/infrastructure and transportation divisions—a deal that will increase its employee base by approximately 50 percent. Encompassing some 23 trade magazines, at least seven live events and numerous digital brands, most of the assets involved in the deal are former Penton brands that were absorbed by Informa after the $1.56 billion merger of those two companies in 2016. The four exceptions are the "auto aftermarket" properties, which formerly comprised the UBM Automotive Group prior to UBM's own merger with Informa last year."

"In his regular column in Electronic Design in 1996, Robert Pease, the legendary analog design engineer and chief scientist at National Semiconductor, posed the question of whether it is possible to design an electrical circuit composed only of resistors and capacitors that delivers a gain greater than one (Pease 1996)."

"NOW you can plainly see that I have written a whole column around your request, for pity's sake! I hope I have answered the question for you and for many other guys who are just out of school and trying to get going
-up the LEARNING CURVE. So, read books and think of good questions. When you have answered as many as you can, and you have asked your colleagues, and there are still some you cannot answer, write down some notes and ask one of your Senior Engineers. He'll probably be flattered to get thoughtful questions from a serious student. If you ask reasonably, he/she may provide some (priceless) mentoring. Have fun, Barrett!!"
