Q: render camera in openles 2.0 with forced delay Is it possible to render camera in openles 2.0 with forced delay? for example delay is 5 frames? For now i'm rendering output with surfacetexture and opengles-2.0.

A: If you're receiving 30 frames per second, and you want to introduce a constant delay of 5 frames, you need to do something with those 5 frames.
SurfaceTexture doesn't do (much) buffering.  Because the producer and consumer endpoints are in the same process, it would be very easy to cause a deadlock by overrunning the consumer.  So SurfaceTexture uses a BufferQueue in "async" mode, which means it drops frames if the consumer isn't ready for the next one.
So you'll need a way to do your own buffering, which means copying the data out of the "external" texture.  One way to do this is to render the textures to a series of FBOs, from which you can render later.  Be sure to keep an eye on the memory usage here -- a 1920x1080 32-bit ARGB image occupies about 8MB, so keeping 5 around increases your memory footprint by 40MB.
Some loss of color fidelity may result, as a YUV-to-RGB conversion will be involved, but if your eventual target is RGB then this shouldn't matter.
So it's possible, but it's not easy.  What are you trying to accomplish?

The Pierce Street Historic District is a residential historic district in Lynchburg, Virginia.  The district consists of two blocks of Pierce Street, and one adjoining block each of Fillmore and Buchanan Streets.  The area consists of mostly vernacular houses with some Folk Victorian and Craftsman styling.  Most of this housing stock was built before 1950.  The neighborhood was developed as a small enclave of African-Americans which was otherwise surrounded by white neighborhoods.  The area is notable for producing a number of significant African-American intellectuals, including Anne Spencer, a poet whose house (the Anne Spencer House) is separately listed on the National Register.  Also located in the district is the Dr. Robert Walter Johnson House and Tennis Court.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

2017 Lexus GX 460 First Test: Posh (and Aging) Off-Roader
Luxurious and capable, but in need of an update
Lexus GX460 SUV/Crossover First Tests
by Words: Stefan Ogbac Photos: Jade Nelson July 13, 2017
On sale since the 2010 model year, the current-generation Lexus GX 460 is old, but you wouldn't know it from a look at the controversial spindle grille it's had since a 2014 model year facelift. As one of the few body-on-frame luxury SUVs left, we drove the GX 460 to see if it's still worthy of consideration. In addition to driving on pavement, we went off the beaten path to see if the GX 460's bones give it the same off-road chops as its platform mates, the Toyota 4Runner and the global market Land Cruiser Prado.
Powered by a 4.6-liter V-8 with 301 hp and 329 lb-ft of torque, the 5,211-pound GX 460 to hit 60 mph in 7.4 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 15.8 seconds at 88.6 mph. The standard six-speed automatic transmission, however, tends to shift too early when left to its own devices. Stopping from 60 mph took 133 feet, but associate road test editor Erick Ayapana observed a lot of dive during hard braking and an overly aggressive seat belt pretensioner, both of which we also experienced driving on the streets during emergency and panic stops.
During handling tests, the GX 460 produced a lateral acceleration of 0.72 g and completed the figure eight in 28.6 seconds with a 0.60 g average. Testing director Kim Reynolds was surprised that you can throw the GX 460 around with quite a bit of enthusiasm and that it has a nonintrusive stability control system. However, he did remark that its huge body motions indicate that the GX 460 is tuned more for comfort and off-road capability.
Because it shares its platform with some of the best off-roaders available, the 2017 Lexus GX 460 has the right underpinnings for tackling all types of terrain. However, it also has to work as a luxury car, which means it needs to have a great ride and a high-quality interior. Out on the highway, the GX 460 has a comfortable ride regardless of the selected suspension mode. There's minimal road, tire, and wind noise, making this rig a great choice for long drives. Even with its standard Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System that helps minimize body motions, the GX 460 isn't suited for sudden maneuvers or taking corners quickly. The 4.6-liter V-8 hauls the GX 460 around acceptably, but it could use a little more power and torque, especially considering its EPA fuel economy figures of 15/18 mpg city/highway.
When the pavement ends, the GX 460 shines as an off-roader. We took the luxurious Lexus out to an off-road park near Azusa, California, where it handled sand, rocks, and a small creek that flowed through the area without any issues. Off the beaten path, the GX 460 can easily tackle challenging terrain thanks to its standard full time four-wheel-drive system with a four-low setting, a locking limited-slip differential, and Crawl Control. However, do keep in mind that the GX 460's departure angles and ground clearance isn't as generous as more serious off-roaders such as the Jeep Wrangler or Toyota's TRD Pro models, so for those few customers venturing off road, choose your trail wisely or risk losing your side steps and/or bumpers.

Jump inside the 2017 GX 460's interior, and comfortable seats with heating and ventilation greet you up front. The second row in our test car featured the optional captain's chairs that heat, recline, and slide forward and back. The GX 460 does have a two-seat third row, but there's not much legroom there, especially for anyone over 5'8". Material quality is typical Lexus with lots of soft touch materials everywhere you look. Everything inside the GX 460 is solid and substantial except for the center armrest that feels unusually light and cheap. The glossy wood trim, on the other hand, amplifies the interior's age, especially compared to newer luxury crossovers and SUVs, some of which offer the more modern-looking matte finish. The GX 460's boxy, upright exterior design gives it great sightlines, thanks to wide windows, low beltlines, and an expansive windshield, making the interior feel less claustrophobic.
Fold both the second and third rows and you have a maximum cargo capacity of 64.7 cubic feet, which is small considering the GX 460's massive size. The GX 460 also features a side-hinged door instead of a hatch, which can be hard to work with in tight spaces because it takes up a lot of space when it's open. Thanks to its boxy shape, however, the available space you do have is very usable and capable of handling large shopping trips.
Lexus' infotainment system, at least in this application, is easy to use because the GX 460 has an 8.0-inch touchscreen instead of the mouselike or touchpad controls found in newer Lexus models. The Mark Levinson premium audio system is an excellent unit that delivers crisp sound and plenty of adjustability to tailor everything to your tastes. There's also a small multi-information display between the gauges, but the graphics of that display and the center-stack screen amplify the interior's age. There's no Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, which means you can't integrate your smartphone with the car's infotainment system.
Even in its current iteration, the GX 460's mix of off-road capability, comfort, and refinement is hard to match. Additionally, it comes with Lexus' reputation for bulletproof reliability. The poor fuel economy ratings, on the other hand, mean you'll be seeing the gas station often even with the 23-gallon fuel tank, and the surprisingly small cargo area makes it less practical than its exterior size would suggest. A significant update to the GX 460's interior design and a newer powertrain would help give it more viability in its segment with only a handful of entries that can go off-road without issue.

Ask God to help you always thank both the husband and the wife as one.
Our pastor and his wife are leaving soon. John and Diane were married in our church about fifteen years ago. I am grateful for what John has done for me and our entire congregation during those years. He comforted me when my mom died and again when my dad died five years later. He visited me in the hospital when I broke my collarbone and when I needed a stent. Those times and so many more, I thanked him for what he did.
I never thought to thank Diane, though. Diane has shared John with our church and the entire community throughout their marriage. John is a firefighter and an EMT, so he responds to physical and spiritual emergencies.
Whenever we invited our pastor to our home, we always invited John and Diane. So why was it such a breach of etiquette to exclude someone's spouse from my home but not from my heart? I asked myself. Only on the last week did I thank Diane for her generosity and vigilant behind-the-scenes prayer each time I saw her. I don't know why I was so slow to catch on.

After CIA briefing about Khashoggi slaying, GOP senators say it's clear Saudi crown prince was complicit
CIA Director Gina Haspel.

By Jennifer HaberkornStaff Writer
Reporting from Washington —
After a closed-door CIA briefing about the slaying of U.S. resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi, key Senate Republicans sharply contradicted President Trump on Tuesday and said there was no question that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman orchestrated the killing.
Senators said the briefing by CIA Director Gina Haspel contrasted sharply with one last week by Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo and Defense Secretary James N. Mattis, who echoed Trump's position that it was unclear whether the crown prince was personally involved with or aware of the slaying.
"If [the crown prince] went in front of a jury, he would be convicted in 30 minutes," Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) told reporters after emerging from the meeting.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who had demanded to hear directly from Haspel after she was noticeably absent from last week's briefing, said the U.S. should end arms sales to Saudi Arabia and come down on the country like a "ton of bricks."
The senators' angry reaction gave momentum to congressional efforts to punish Saudi Arabia for the killing, despite Trump's plea to refrain from such actions because they might endanger Saudi investment plans in the U.S.
It marked the strongest pushback on the White House from Trump's own party since lawmakers approved sanctions against Russia this year, over the administration's objections, in response to the 2016 election meddling.
"You have to be willfully blind not to come to the conclusion this was orchestrated and organized by people under the command of MBS," Graham said, using the prince's initials.
"There is not a smoking gun. There is a smoking saw," he said, a gruesome reference to the journalist's alleged dismemberment shortly after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, on Oct. 2.
Khashoggi, an opinion writer for the Washington Post, was an outspoken critic of the Saudi government.
Graham added that Pompeo and Mattis, who said last week there was no conclusive evidence that the prince orchestrated the killing, were "following the lead of the president" and that he assumed they were being "good soldiers."
Haspel's absence from last week's briefing immediately raised speculation that she had been excluded because the White House was concerned about what she would say. Graham responded by threatening to withhold his vote on any legislation until she briefed lawmakers.
After hearing Haspel's version, Graham now wants to release a "sense of the Senate" statement before the end of the year that the prince was complicit in a brutal murder that put the "region into chaos." He also called for an end to arms sales to Saudi Arabia "as long as he's going to be involved in this country."
Other Republicans left the meeting with the same conclusion on the prince's involvement, but hedged on how to respond.
"Somebody should be punished," said Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.). "The question now is how do you separate the Saudi crown prince from the nation itself. That might be the real problem."
Saudi Arabia has been a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, but Graham warned that is not enough to overlook its de facto leader's role in the killing of Khashoggi.
"The relationship is worth saving, but not at all costs," he said. "We'll do more damage to our standing in the world and our national security by ignoring MBS than dealing with him."
Congressional skepticism over Trump's handling of the killing was already high. In a rare rebuke last week, the Senate advanced a resolution calling for an end to U.S. military support for Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen.
The resolution calls for a halt to U.S. military aid for the Saudi-led coalition that is battling Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The civil war has killed tens of thousands of civilians and become what aid workers call the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
Fourteen Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the resolution, which passed a procedural vote 63 to 37. But even with the anger from Republican senators, prospects for that joint resolution remain unclear. Graham, who voted in favor of it last week to send a warning shot to the White House, said Tuesday he would not support it going forward.
The House has not yet passed anything and Trump threatened to veto the resolution that advanced last week, if it reached his desk.
Democrats agreed that the briefing left little doubt in their minds on the killing, but did not detail what the administration should do.
"I am now more convinced than I was before — and I was pretty convinced — that in fact the United States must have a strong response to both the war in Yemen as well as the killing of a United States permanent resident and journalist," said Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. "Only a strong response by the United States will send a clear and unequivocal message that such actions are not acceptable on the world's stage."
The milder "sense of the Senate" action favored by Graham is viewed by some Republicans as a better way to make a statement against Saudi Arabia without reopening a potentially complex discussion about war powers, as Democrats would prefer.
The Senate's response to Saudi Arabia could threaten to further tie up Congress' to-do list before the end of the year. Lawmakers are already divided over whether to fund Trump's border wall in a must-pass spending bill by Dec. 21.
The briefing with Haspel was limited to a handful of lawmakers, including the leaders of key committees dealing with national security, intelligence and foreign affairs.
Sens. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), the top Senate Democrat and his deputy, who both attended the briefing, said all senators needed to hear the CIA's analysis.
"It certainly reinforced my support for the bipartisan joint war powers resolution to end unauthorized U.S. military involvement in Yemen and the need for a stronger response by the U.S. and the Trump administration to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi," Durbin said. "Every senator should hear what I heard this afternoon. CIA Director Haspel must brief the full Senate immediately."

Q: Function returns only one season from my do_season_on_date method I have a method which I want to map a date column to a new column season but it only maps spring. I have defined the season using a dictionary where keys are season names and values as date ranges. I do not know why it is only returning only one season as I have defined the dates for each season. Here is the code for the function
def do_season_on_date(date):
    year = str(date.year)
    seasons = {'spring': pd.date_range(start='01/09/'+year, end='30/11/'+year),
               'summer': pd.date_range(start='01/12/'+year, end='28/02/'+year),
               'autumn': pd.date_range(start='01/03/'+year, end='31/05/'+year)}
    if date in seasons['spring']:
      return 'spring'
    elif date in seasons['summer']:
      return 'summer'
    elif date in seasons['autumn']:
      return 'autumn'
    else:
     return 'winter'

Here is the output
 date       ndvi        seasons
2000-02-29  0.331070    spring
2000-03-31  0.326608    spring
2000-04-30  0.300348    spring
2000-05-31  0.251368    spring
2000-06-30  0.216910    spring
2020-07-31  0.205169    spring
2020-08-31  0.198418    spring
2020-09-30  0.192516    spring
2020-10-31  0.201836    spring
2020-11-30  0.210474    spring

This how I map date to seasons
df_monthly['seasons'] = df_monthly.date.map(do_season_on_date)

A: Your strings are not being read correctly by the pandas class method, it usually likes ISO format besides that nice map, dude. Just noticed barmar actually answered it in the comments, sorry didnt notice it
def do_season_on_date(date):
        year = str(date.year)
        if year % 400 == 0 or year % 4 == 0  and year % 100:
            #Different definitions for your date range

        seasons = {'spring': pd.date_range(start = f'{year}-09-01', end = f'{year}-11-30'),
                   'summer': pd.date_range(start = f'{year}-12-01', end = f'{year}-02-28'),
                   'autumn': pd.date_range(start = f'{year}-01-03', end = f'{year}-05-31')}
        if date in seasons['spring']:
          return 'spring'
        elif date in seasons['summer']:
          return 'summer'
        elif date in seasons['autumn']:
          return 'autumn'
        else:
         return 'winter'

A: *

*When I tried your code, I got:

UserWarning: Parsing '30/11/2019' in DD/MM/YYYY format. Provide format or specify infer_datetime_format=True for consistent parsing.
exec(code_obj, self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns)

It means that DD/MM/YYYY is not a standard format.

*date in pd.date_range(start=..., end=...) may not do what you expect.

pd.date_range
creates a DatetimeIndex of timestamps, each seperated by 1 day by default.
So the in only checks if your date exactly equals one of these. If your date is anywhere between them, the result will be False.

*Also, looping is not very efficient with pandas.

Here is what you can do:
According to this answer
the simplest way to filter for dates only between month and day, independent of the YEAR
is by checking month and day individually (like df['Date'].dt.month == 11).
Here is the version that I would use:
Note: it uses the dates provided in the question, which don't actually correspond to reality.
# The year here will be ignored - but it has to be set. So just choose something.
seasons = {'spring': pd.to_datetime(['01/09/22', '30/11/22'], format = '%d/%m/%y'),
            'summer': pd.to_datetime(['01/12/22', '29/02/20'], format = '%d/%m/%y'),  # choose the leap year for February
            'autumn': pd.to_datetime(['01/03/22', '31/05/22'], format = '%d/%m/%y')}

condlist = [df['date'].dt.month.between(start.month, end.month) &
            df['date'].dt.day.between(start.day, end.day)
            for (start, end) in seasons.values()]
choicelist = list(seasons.keys())

df['seasons'] = np.select(condlist, choicelist, default=np.nan)

Result:
        date      ndvi seasons
0 2000-02-29  0.331070     nan
1 2000-03-31  0.326608  autumn
2 2000-04-30  0.300348  autumn
3 2000-05-31  0.251368  autumn
4 2000-06-30  0.216910     nan
5 2020-07-31  0.205169     nan
6 2020-08-31  0.198418     nan
7 2020-09-30  0.192516  spring
8 2020-10-31  0.201836     nan
9 2020-11-30  0.210474  spring

Note: as I said before, the date ranges don't correspond to reality. So don't be surprised the seasons are wrong ;)

XXIV / 1988
Seoul, Republic of Korea (Venues)
17 September – 2 October
Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee
8454 from 159 countries
33 in 6 disciplines
In late September 1981, when the IOC awarded the 1988 Olympics to Seoul, the Olympic world was surprised, as the choice was highly controversial as many prominent nations in the Olympic Movement, notably the Soviet Bloc nations, did not have diplomatic relations with the Seoul government. After the political problems that had marred the last few Olympics, there was widespread concern that another boycott would ensue because of this.
The problem became more complicated in July 1985 when DPR (North) Korea demanded that it be allowed to co-host the Games with the Republic of Korea. Over the next three years the IOC negotiated with DPR Korea and offered to allow it to stage several events. However, this never occurred and DPR Korea subsequently announced that it would not attend the Seoul Olympics.
By then, however, most of the Eastern Bloc countries had agreed to compete in Seoul, making 1988 the first Summer Olympic competition in 12 years between the United States, the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic. After DPR Korea's final announcement, Cuba and Ethiopia also announced that they would not attend the Olympics, out of solidarity. Nicaragua, Albania, and the Seychelles also did not attend the Olympics, though their reasons were less clear and may not have been directly related.
The Seoul Games went on and saw the largest participation in Olympics history. There were more nations and more countries represented than ever before. The Games themselves were excellent and very well run. Controversies and political intrusions, unlike the Games of the last 20 years, were relatively few and comparatively minor.
Three swimmers and one female track & field athlete dominated the sporting events. In the pool, the GDR's Kristin Otto broke all sorts of records by winning six gold medals. It was an unmatched performance by a woman at the Olympics. Her only rival for swimming supremacy was America's Janet Evans who won three gold medals. But they never raced each other, as Otto was a sprinter and Evans a distance swimmer.
On the men's side of the pool, Matt Biondi was attempting to equal Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals. He failed in his first two events, taking a silver and a bronze. However, he then won gold in his last five events, to equal Spitz's haul of seven medals, though they had a bit less lustre.
On the track, the world was stunned by the performances of Florence Griffith Joyner. A solid world-class sprinter for a decade, she had re-dedicated herself in 1988 and had shattered records at the US Olympic Trials. At the Olympics she won the 100 and 200, setting a world record in the 200 final. In the 100, she posted a time that was wind-aided, but was otherwise the fastest time ever recorded. She then helped the American women win a gold medal in the 4×100 relay. Finally, she was asked by the American coaches to run anchor in the 4×400 relay. She did so, and narrowly missed catching the Soviet's Olha Bryzhina, as the Americans won a silver medal, in what many athletics fans consider one of the greatest races ever contested. Griffith Joyner's total haul was three gold medals and one silver.
Unfortunately, the biggest media event of the 1988 Olympic Games was the disqualification of Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson, after he had won the 100 metres in the world record time of 9.79, defeating Carl Lewis in the process. A few days later, Johnson tested positive for stanozolol, an anabolic steroid, and was disqualified with Lewis receiving the gold medal. After the uproar of the scandal, the Canadians launched an inquiry into drug use in international sport, the Dubin Inquiry. At the inquiry, Johnson admitted he had used steroids for several years.
One of Seoul's legacies to the Olympic Movement was a new Olympic Flag. The main Olympic flag was termed the Antwerpen flag, because it had been made in 1920 and donated to the IOC by the Antwerpen organizing committee. However, the flag was now worn and it was soon to be retired to the Olympic Museum. Seoul provided the IOC with a replacement, fashioned from pure raw Korean silk, with the needlework done by skilled Korean craftsmen. Thus, the Seoul legacy will literally fly over many future Olympic Games.

Arizona Town Hall - #92 "Who Will Teach Our Children?"
The 92nd Town Hall recommends a fundamental redesign of both Arizona's PreK-12 education system and the post-secondary system that supports education preparation programs. Changes must be implemented to ensure that each child in Arizona receives the quality education necessary to be competitive in a global marketplace.
While the Town Hall recognizes that change will take time and significant resources, nine goals must be advanced on an urgent timeline.
Define teaching as a distinguished profession.
Promote teaching as a distinguished profession.
Provide teachers with professional pay linked with systemic education reform.
Restructure Arizona's system for funding PreK-12 public education.
Implement a consistent, statewide professional development system with a strong mentoring component.
Focus teacher recruitment and retention efforts in areas of high need.
Recognize early childhood education within the teaching profession.
Arizona recently announced its commitment to the "Tough Choices or Tough Times" reform agenda, a major redesign of state education systems intended to help students succeed both in school and the workforce. Below are several news releases regarding the "Tough Choices or Tough Times" coalition to overhaul the state education system.

Active "Adult" Member (Senior)
An active senior member is an adult at least 18 years of age who regularly attends meetings, performs a specific duty assignment, meets training requirements, and participates in the activities of his or her unit. An Active Member may wear the CAP uniform and compete for grade advancement.
Since Civil Air Patrol is a volunteer-led organization, active members are required to hold a duty position in a unit. This is the backbone of the corporation. Members may branch out to lead activities, participate in real-world missions beyond their squadron, and pilot CAP aircraft.
Here's an inside look at our senior members in action:
An ELT found that was transmitting a distress signal.
Observing a military aircrew at work during a cadet orientation flight.
Briefing at a mission base during a search and rescue exercise.
Instructing cadets on use of cleaning supplies.
Placing CAP decals on a new aircraft.
Chatting about CAP during a local TV talk show.
Sporting the corporate CAP uniform option.
Enjoying a Nats game after supervising the cadet color guard.
Having fun during a squadron teamwork event.
Supervising cadets during a military aircraft tour.
A mission observer and pilot prepping for a mission.
Teaching ground search and rescue skills.
Doing paperwork.
Participating in a first aid class.
Running the Army 10-miler with cadets.
Active Membership Criteria
The following are requirements to join CAP as an Active Member:
So that we can stay in touch while you consider joining us, please fill out this form. This will notify the squadron closest to you. You may join any squadron in our wing. After serving at the squadron-level, members may take on additional duties at the wing-level.
Once you are ready to join us, fill out a paper CAPF 12 senior application (PDF) to be mailed (with a check or credit card info) to our national headquarters along with the required membership dues and FBI fingerprint card. Your proof of identity will need to be confirmed by the squadron. You will need to know your squadron charter number to apply online, which will be "DC" for the Wing and the 3-digit squadron number.
Note: Active Members may transfer to inactive Patron Member status at any time. After reaching age 18, cadets desiring to transfer to active member status may also do so at no additional charge.
In order to assist with cadet activities, fly, or hold a duty position, you must complete Level 1. This is a series of learning modules that can be complete in-person at the squadron or online through CAP's eServices portal.
Active Members are expected to participate actively at the squadron and be assigned to a duty position either as an assistant or primary staff officer. Completion of Level II starts the learning process to perform a duty assignment.
Wear of a CAP uniform is required when working with cadets or flying in CAP aircraft.
Mission Qualifications
Civil Air Patrol conducts a variety of operational missions under its emergency services program, which include search and rescue, disaster relief, counterdrug, homeland security, air intercept, radar evaluation target, low-level route and range survey, exercise support, ground and aerial digital imaging and reconnaissance, air and ground communications support, remote aircraft escort and training, counter-drone, and event support missions. Most of this is done in CAP's role as the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary as Defense Support to Civil Authorities under United States Code Title 10, but CAP also provides assistance to state and local authorities under Title 36 before there is a defined federal interest. As Air Force total force partners, CAP fulfills non-combat programs, missions, and activities alongside or in place of military resources.
Our wing routinely flies as tracks of interest during air intercept training over the nation's capital. This involves Air Force fighter aircraft, Coast Guard helicopters, Army support, and the FAA's visual warning system.
In order to participate in any mission, members must become qualified to provide operations support, which includes some FEMA courses. Qualifications are broken down into aircrew, ground, and incident command staff positions. These mission qualifications are different from and separate from squadron duty positions. The entire wing comes together to conduct missions using qualified cadets and active members from the squadrons under its command and the wing headquarters staff.
Pilot Onboarding
The wing headquarters operates and maintains a Cessna 172S and three Cessna 182Ts out of Davison Army Airfield (KDAA) in Virginia. Pilots may be assigned to any squadron within the wing and are expected to attend an aircrew safety course at least once per quarter, which is normally held the second Thursday of every month at KDAA.
Aircraft utilization in CAP's National Capital Wing is one of the highest in the nation!
Initial requirements to earn CAP pilot wings as a powered, fixed-wing VFR pilot include current active membership, at least 17 years of age, hold single-engine land privileges with a valid FAA private, commercial, or airline transport pilot certificate, currently operating under BasicMed rules or hold a valid Class III or higher medical certificate, have a current flight review under 14 CFR part 61.56, and have 100 hours pilot-in-command (PIC) time prior to completing a CAP Form 5 checkride. Proficiency training and mentoring are available to help pilots become CAP-qualified and gain more experience. New pilots will need to take the FAA's Washington DC Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) online course before being added to the flight restricted zone (FRZ) waiver.
The ultimate goal is that all CAP pilots be qualified as mission pilots. That qualification requires 200 hours PIC, qualification as a backseat mission scanner, and completion of a mission pilot checkride. This training from joining to mission pilot could take a year to complete. On the way to mission pilot qualification, the choice to become a mission transport pilot and/or a cadet orientation flight pilot are options. The transport mission qualification requires 100 hours PIC and 50 hours cross country time. The cadet orientation qualification requires 200 fixed-wing hours PIC for CAP to fly CAP cadets and 300 fixed-wing hours PIC to fly AFROTC and AFJROTC cadets.
You are not alone in your pilot training, and CAP flight instructors and aircraft are available at a reduced cost to help get you up to speed. All prospective pilots should send an email to our wing director of operations at do@natcapwg.cap.gov to start your journey to the most rewarding flights you will know.
Remote Pilots with an FAA Part 107 certificate are also needed in the wing.
Regular and Reserve officers of the Armed Forces of the United States, active, retired, or honorably discharged, may be advanced to a CAP grade equivalent to their grade in the Armed Forces (but not to exceed lieutenant colonel), in recognition of their military knowledge and experience.
Regular, Reserve, and National Guard Senior Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs) of the Armed Forces or Coast Guard of the United States, active, or retired, in the grade of E-7 through E-9 may receive an advanced CAP officer grade in recognition of their military knowledge and experience. NCOs in the grade of E-4 through E-9 also have the option to retain their NCO grade and wear the CAP distinctive chevrons to serve as part of CAP's NCO Corps to serve as a command NCO or any other duty position except commander.
Such promotions are neither automatic nor mandatory but are at the discretion of the promoting authority. Completion of Level I and Part 1 of Level II are required to be completed before military promotions are considered. The wing also requires 3 months' time in CAP and assignment to a squadron duty position and specialty track before considering a promotion that requires wing-level promotion approval (captain though lieutenant colonel).

Former FBI Director James Comey said he was confused that the special counsel Robert Mueller chose to neither charge President Donald Trump with obstruction of justice nor exonerate him.
Speaking at an event on Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, Comey said that while he had "great faith" in Mueller, who led the FBI directly before him, "the entire rationale for a special counsel is to make sure the politicals aren't making the key charging decisions."
Summarizing Mueller's report, filed Friday, Attorney General William Barr said Mueller uncovered no evidence that Trump or his team conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Barr also said there was not enough evidence to bring obstruction charges.
Former FBI Director James Comey said on Tuesday that he found it confusing that the special counsel Robert Mueller decided to neither charge President Donald Trump with obstruction of justice nor absolve him.
Speaking to an audience in Charlotte, North Carolina, Comey wondered why the decision whether to charge the president was left in the hands of Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, adding that leaving political figures to make charging decisions undermined the whole point of a special counsel investigation.
Summarizing Mueller's report, submitted Friday, Barr said that Mueller declined to reach a conclusion on obstruction and "did not establish" that Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
"The part that's confusing is I can't quite understand what's going on with the obstruction stuff," Comey said, according to NBC News.
"And I have great faith in Bob Mueller, but I just can't tell from the letter why didn't he decide these questions when the entire rationale for a special counsel is to make sure the politicals aren't making the key charging decisions," he added.
Comey was a senior official in the Department of Justice while Mueller was the FBI director. When Mueller stepped down in 2013, Comey took his place. Trump's decision to fire Comey in May 2017 was among the factors that prompted the Justice Department to appoint Mueller as special counsel.
In his summary of Mueller's report submitted to Congress on Sunday, Barr described the grounds for his decision not to charge the president with obstructing justice.
Barr wrote that "to obtain and sustain an obstruction conviction, the government would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person, acting with corrupt intent, engaged in obstructive conduct." But he said the "absence of" evidence of collusion meant that corrupt intent could not be established.
In his remarks Tuesday, Comey questioned that decision.
"The notion that obstruction cases are somehow undermined by the absence of proof of an underlying crime, that is not my experience in 40 years of doing this, nor is it the Department of Justice's tradition," he said, according to NBC News. "Obstruction crimes matter without regard to what you prove about the underlying crime."
While allies of the president have hailed Mueller's report as vindication, Democrats have demanded to see it in full, including the grounds for his declining to reach a conclusion on obstruction charges.
Legal scholars have torn into Barr's reasoning for not filing obstruction charges. And some critics have said Mueller's decision could weaken legal oversight of the White House and embolden future presidents.
Former Democratic Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, a member of the House panel that impeached President Richard Nixon in 1974, told The New York Times, "They're just trying to create a new kind of monarchy in the United States and have a president who's not accountable."

The question arose in a conversation while my husband Monte and I were visiting Chicago between March 2 and March 7, 2011. Unfortunately, I cannot recall when the conversation occurred, nor can I remember with whom.
We were in the Chicago area because my husband, Monte, had tickets to the Big Ten wrestling matches held during the weekend at his alma mater, Northwestern University. I had agreed to travel with him, taking advantage of the opportunity to meet my newly discovered sister, who lived near the University.
I first saw the river while we explored downtown Chicago on March 7. While there, we walked over the bridge across the Chicago River. In light of the conversation about the greening of the river, I wondered if it would become green this St. Patrick's Day.
Upon our arrival home, while leafing through our newspapers, a headline leapt out at me: Chief Leprechaun. The subtitle was: Mike butler and crew green the Chicago River.
Don't be surprised when the neighborhood groundhogs (doesn't every neighborhood have one, two, three or four?)—thought long gone in the late fall, their burrows far too close to the house, backfilled—suddenly awake, emerge and begin foraging for fuel.
However, the official word on whether it will be an early spring will not be made by the observations of Colin McNickle, journalist, but by Punxsutawney Phil. On Groundhog Day.
The sixth century. That's how far back the roots of the Groundhog Day celebration extend.
Groundhog Day is associated with Christianity's Candlemas Day, the day that candles used throughout the year are blessed. It is the mid-point of winter, the mid-point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.
It has to snow in time for Christmas in Wisconsin. It's the law! And snow it did, & snow it does. Dry, blowing snow, dancing across streets & highways, swirling around stop signs & lamp posts. Heavy, wet snow, sticking to your mittens & catching in the neck of your jacket. Snow drifts, snow banks, snow plows, snow shovels, snow balls, snow forts, snow men, snow angels: you can't have Christmas in Wisconsin without snow.
But when you get to your grandparents' home, for Christmas, after driving 4 hours in the cold & snow, with only the sound of your own voice or that of your mother & younger sisters for company, you find that your grandmother smells just the same – White Lilac is her fragrance – & that your grandfather has lit a fire in the family room fireplace in anticipation of your arrival.

Each year our family contributes to the annual Christmas letter (dreaded by some persons). Tonight, to kick off this year's Christmas season, I am posting excerpts from my section of our family's 2006 annual Christmas letter, with a few necessary updates.
Year 2006 included a "maternity watch," for grandchild Marcus, son of Nolan and Tammy, born July 8. We arrived in Cleveland right after his birth. Marcus is a happy baby, has a big smile and lots of conversation. Vince enjoys being "big brother," accenting his job with two-year old exuberance. He attends softball games his parents play in, and his favorite toy is any kind of ball.
The year's events, however, began Christmas night 2005. It involved a 1971 promise my late friend Charlotte and I made to each other.
WHAT? NO PUMPKIN PIE FOR THANKSGIVING?
