Diki was one of the trendsetting labels of the early '90s in Belgium. In Moeskroen (Belgium), there was a small vinyl shop called Disco King, owned by producer Roger Samijn, where deejays came from everywhere to buy those sought after techno vinyls from all over Europe. There was always a lot of people in there and everyone knew the shopkeeper JF. It was also the homebase of Diki Records. I used to go regularly there when i was a young man back in 1992, a very exciting year for electronic music and good times for vinyl business, as mp3 and internet where non-existent at the time. The shop commercialized their music through the famous Radio Galaxie, through which i also discovered house/techno in november 1991. Although it is sometimes forgotten, Diki not only released 303-tracks, but they pioneered in a lot of subgenres.

Diki Records was the 'odd' label of the Belgium scene. Like R&S and Music Man, Diki had steady releases since the first days of global electronic culture. The Age Of Love / Age Of Love was released in 1990 and could be one of the first trance records to become an underground hit. While Bazz & Dr. Phibes were hard techno from the Nu-Beat scene, most of the early Diki releases were very 303 driven hard-acid tracks. A few really good moments deep within this label. The 1993 production by Joey Beltram (X-Buzz) was something not many know about, and Diki scored with Hope "Tree Frog" as the label faded into obscurity.

Ronald Reagan was one of my clients before he went into politics. He owned a horse ranch just a few miles from my clinic. I only saw him twice, both times when he was riding and jumping in his arena. I never spoke to him. I dealt with his ranch manager, a very nice gentleman who was a Lithuanian immigrant. I deeply regret that I did not take the opportunity to introduce myself and get to know the man. I did not do so because I am not a celebrity admirer and did not want him to think that I might be.
When he went into politics, and gave up the local ranch, I was skeptical. Why? Because, I must confess, I was and still am biased against the entertainment industry, especially in Hollywood.
I fervently believe that "Hollywood" (I mean the entire entertainment industry) does far more damage to our culture than it does good. In other words, the entertainment provided in no way compensates for the moral decay, the corrupt values, and the loss of decency that industry has caused.
Of course, there are exceptions. I have written before about the Western movie stars for example who owned ranches in my practice area, and how I found them to be courteous gentlemen, modest, unassuming, and conscientious. They paid their vet bills on time. I am referring to actors, most of them former cowboys or stunt men such as Joel McCrea, Roy Rogers, Ben Johnson, Rex Allen, Buddy Ebsen, Slim Pickens, and others. All were good people. Maybe the fact that, when not working as actors, they preferred a rural lifestyle, raising cattle or horses, explains their modesty.
Anyway, I wasn't thrilled when Reagan, a movie star, went into politics. Significantly, when he became President of the U.S.A., he spent as much time as possible on his new ranch, Rancho del Cielo, in Santa Barbara county, with its modest home. There he rode his beloved horses and personally cut wood for the fireplace and did ranch chores by himself.
I gradually began to realize what an exceptional leader he was, yet it took decades even after his death, for me to fully appreciate him.
My biggest regret came after I had retired from practice and was on my way with my wife to a lecture engagement in Northern California.
As we drove north we came to an area where many vehicles were parked along the highway and traffic was moving slowly.
I pulled over and asked, "What's going on?"
The bystander answered, "President Reagan's funeral procession will be coming down the other side of the highway in about half an hour. We are all here to honor him."
I looked at Debby and said, "Gosh, we ought to stop, but I have to speak this afternoon and we have a couple of hundred miles to drive."
So I kept moving.
I have never lost the guilt for that decision.
What motivated this article was a TV movie I saw the other night about the life of Ronald Reagan.
I apologize Mr. President. I put my personal business ahead of an opportunity to honor you. It has taken many years for me to fully appreciate your integrity, judgment, patriotism, wit and humility.

Every storyline on the wildly popular HBO series Game of Thrones, which returns for its eighth and final season on April 14, is identified with a magnificent natural landscape. Here's some good news: the U.S. National Park Service is replete with destinations that are similarly grand, surprising, majestic, and picturesque.
So often while we are exploring national parks in the United States, one of us will exclaim, "Wow, this looks like it could be a setting on Game of Thrones!" This is so from the Florida Everglades to the upper Midwest, to the granite monoliths of Yosemite and sandstone cliffs in Utah. In truth, most of the HBO show is filmed on location in breathtaking natural settings in Croatia, Northern Ireland, Spain, and Morocco. However, you don't have to plan an epic international trip to experience the same. There are plenty of spectacular sites within the U.S. National Park Service that are equally dramatic.
The natural wonders in this slideshow are as otherworldly as the wintery world beyond the wall, as isolate and lovely as the palaces of Dorne and Kings Landing and perfect for creating your own mythical and fantastic adventures.
Top Picks for You
Wizard Island
WHERE: Crater Lake National Park, Oregon
We are not sure that any place embodies contrast in elements like A Song of Ice and Fire more than this petite enigmatic island. Here, a volcanic cinder cone rises 763 feet above lapis blue Crater Lake. You can reach it via concessionaire boat, which is run by Crater Lake Hospitality.
Harding Icefield
WHERE: Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska
Getting to Alaska is a journey in itself, but a trip to the Harding Icefield is worth it for a taste of the arctic landscape beyond The Wall. To steer clear of the Night King (and his army of the dead), take the Harding Icefield Trail: an 8.2 mile round trip to one of the last unbroken ice fields. While the trail is strenuous (the elevation gain is 1,000 feet per mile), the Harding Icefield is visible once you hike above the tree line, so completing the full hike isn't a requirement.
The Nightmare
WHERE: Everglades National Park, Florida
Remember when Ser Jorah Mormont kidnapped Tyrion Lannister, set off for Meereen by boat and then contracted greyscale? The Everglades has the same vibe, just without the Stone Men. You will, however, find alligators are in abundance along the 99-mile Wilderness Waterway through the Everglades. But be careful. Sections of the waterway, like The Nightmare, are only recommended for experienced paddlers. And while the alligators don't have greyscale, best to not let them touch you.
San Juan National Historic Site
WHERE: San Juan, Puerto Rico
Castillo San Cristóbal and Castillo San Felipe del Morro (also referred to as El Morro) are fortifications built by the Spanish between the 16th and 18th centuries to fend off British advances on Puerto Rico. With their breathtaking shoreline placement and great height above the ocean, both could pass for later interpretations of the Targeryen castle on Dragonstone. Visitors can meander the ramparts and, on a clear day, the view from San Cristóbal encompasses 27 acres along the coast of the island, as glimpsed through cannon embrasures and sentry boxes.
Shi Shi Beach
WHERE: Olympic National Park, Washington
The curious verticality of sea stacks, combined with the salt air at Shi Shi Beach transports you to the Iron Islands, home of the Ironborn and the long-suffering members House Greyjoy—if visiting with family, hopefully you can trust them a bit more than Theon and Yara could trust their nefarious Uncle Euron. If day-hiking, you will need to get the local Makah Recreation Pass, acquired at Neah Bay, as the parking for the trailhead and first portion of the trail is on the land of the Makah Tribe. If you want to stay for the sunset, you'll really want to book a campsite.
INSIDER TIPYou need a reservation to camp at this portion of the park via recreation.gov, or you can book in person at the one of the Wilderness Information Centers at Olympic National Park.
Skull Rock
WHERE: Joshua Tree National Park, California
A landmark feature at Joshua Tree, Skull Rock might have been lifted from the island of Dragonstone and has an undeniably forbidding look, as if, past this point, danger lurks. Explore at your own risk! You can access the massive granite formation, by taking the main park road to the middle of Joshua Tree National Park and parking just beyond Jumbo Rocks Campground.
Star Dune
WHERE: Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado
The contours of Star Dune remind us of the imposing and austere pyramids of Meereen, though beware, this is the tallest dune in North America (towering 750 feet from the valley floor) and the hike is strenuous. The hike to High Dune, en route to Star Dune, is a good intermediary step, with the option to continue to Star Dune from there. With the snowcapped Rocky Mountains as a backdrop to the massive dunes, you'll wonder where on earth—or otherwise—you have landed, exactly.
Ptarmigan Tunnel
WHERE: Glacier National Park, Montana
A cut into the middle of a mountain at Ptarmigan Wall, this 240-foot long tunnel has giant doors on either side that you might imagine hold something in or keep out whatever is on the other side. We suggest snapping a selfie with one of the giant doors, and recalling the surprising and wrenching story of how Hodor acquired his name. Rangers open the doors in July after the snow melts, so check to make sure the Ptarmigan Trail is accessible before heading out. Ptarmigan trail ascends swiftly, levels off for breathtaking vistas of the Rockies and verdant alpine meadows and valleys, and proceeds to Ptarmigan Falls and Iceberg Lake before reaching the tunnel. The trek is a full day affair and some parts are challenging (though others are meditative), and the vistas are well worth the journey.
Half Dome
WHERE: Yosemite National Park, California
Due to its verticality and massiveness, Half Dome bears an uncanny resemblance to The Wall, without the vexation of advancing White Walkers or the perils of climbing on ice. Though the climb is not for novice hikers, the top offers a panorama of the Yosemite Valley rivals any landscape in the Seven Kingdoms. The hike to Half Dome is in itself also spectacular, marked by dramatic granite formations and wispy, misty, and enchanting waterfalls. The last 400 feet of the climb, The Cables, can be summited without rock climbing equipment for the adventure of a lifetime.
INSIDER TIPYou will need advance reservations and permits, which can be obtained via a single lottery in the spring at recreation.gov, and daily lotteries two days before your visit.
Apostle Islands and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
WHERE: Wisconsin, Michigan
Bring your flaming sword as you explore the magical frozen ice caves and petite islands of these two parks in the upper Midwest. Watch out for both White Walkers and the occasional Wilding (shhh, it's really just the ranger who lives there full time) while exploring these stunning winter gems. In the summer, you can swim and sunbathe on shores and islands that were carved during the last glacial ice age. This is also the perfect place to practice your sailing skills as a newfound member of House Greyjoy.
Rae Lakes
WHERE: Kings Canyon National Park, California
The contrast between the clear cerulean lakes and the swell of the Sierra Nevadas framing them, the terrain at Kings Canyon will remind you of the rugged hills and draping meadows traversed by Arya, The Hound, and Brienne of Tarth. About 15 minutes east of Rae Lakes, you can re-create those scenes in full on a guided horseback tour with the Grant Grove Stables and the Cedar Grove Pack Station.
Big Skylight Cave
WHERE: El Malpais National Monument, New Mexico
The inside of this cave brings to mind a sweet, intimate moment between Jon Snow and Ygritte. The circular aperture on the ceiling recalls the Moon Door, the portal of death within the Eyrie through which (spoiler alert) Petyr Baelish pushed Lysa Arryn to her death in one of his most cunning and vicious moments on Game of Thrones to date (which is saying a lot). Here you'll find delicate minerals and mosses, lava benches, and ropy lava flow frozen in time. Although the hike to the cave is not long, it is considered difficult as it involves clambering over craggy lava flows; driving to the cave is possible, though note that the road is unpaved and inaccessible in periods of rain and snow.
Yellowstone National Park
WHERE: Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Winter is coming, and at Yellowstone National Park, you can follow the footsteps of many characters in The North by snow-shoeing and skiing through this icy, snow-covered western landscape—and Yellowstone National Park indubitably offers more amenities than Castle Black. Guided tours (which come with the option of snowshoe or ski rental) are available daily from mid-December to the end of February. Particular highlights include a snowshoe through the Old Faithful area, a full-day adventure to see the frozen falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and a half-day adventure on level ground to the mercurial Lone Star Geyser.
The Oasis at Death Valley (previously Furnace Creek Resort)
WHERE: Death Valley National Park, California
The hottest month ever recorded on Earth was measured at Death Valley last summer, where temps averaged 108 degrees during the month of July. RIP to the Sand Snakes, but nonetheless this palatial enclave tucked into a desert is a likeness of the Dornish palace of Oberyn Martell and Ellaria Sand…before they, well, you know. The Pacific Coast Borax Company first completed this historic inn at Death Valley in 1927. The pool is great, and you probably won't have to fight The Mountain to use the tennis courts.
Scotty's Castle
WHERE: Death Valley National Park, California
This mission-style oasis in the middle of the park is befitting Robert Baratheon…or Joffrey…or Tommen… or Cersei. Currently, it's closed for renovations due to flooding, but the massive home described by the NPS as "an engineer's dream home, a wealthy matron's vacation home and a man-of-mystery's hideout and getaway," is on track to reopen in 2020. Once this King's Landing-like location does, take a house tour to examine the basement tunnels for hidden barrels of wildfire and to discover how a unique battery system powered the home during its heyday in the 1930's.
Zion National Park
WHERE: Springdale, Utah
What do we say to the God of Death? Please use the park shuttle. Seriously, the shuttle is exemplary in its convenience, and accesses primary sites in the park where personal vehicles aren't allowed. An early stop on the shuttle at The Grotto will bring you to the trailhead for the legendary uphill climb to Angels Landing, a 1,488 foot elevation gain to a promontory as towering and lofty as the Lannister stronghold, Casterly Rock. The Temple of Sinawava, a massive canyon with giant walls flanked by paved walking paths, is also reminiscent of Dragonstone (minus the ocean breeze), and is the point of entry to the legendary Narrows hike, which meanders through the Virgin River.
INSIDER TIPA permit is required to hike the Narrows; obtain in advance via recreation.gov, or in a last minute drawing (2-7 days in advance of your trip date).
Badlands National Park
WHERE: South Dakota
You probably couldn't get much closer to visiting the Dothraki Sea (not so much a sea on GoT as a vast stretch of plains), than this geologic marvel. An ancient (and actual) sea stretched across the Midwest almost 70 million years ago, depositing layers of geologic sediment. Rivers and flood plains continued to deposit sediment in the region as this sea retreated. Erosion began 500,000 years ago, and has sculpted and shaped buttes in stunning colors of red, orange, yellow, purple, and in fine measure, glints of green. Perhaps thinking of this ethereal landscape inspired George R.R. Martin as he wrote. Perhaps you'll even find Jason Momoa on horseback here. Who knows!
Apgar Mountain Horse Loop to Apgar Lookout
WHERE: Glacier National Park, Montana
Looks like everyone is getting around via horse. In West Glacier, an excursion on horseback to Apgar Lookout, which offers a view of the aquamarine Lake McDonald and the surrounding Rockies, is akin to ranging the rugged, pastoral, and seemingly-safe forests of Westeros. On Game of Thrones, marauding bannermen of House Lannister or dead-eyed White Walkers often upend the potential tranquility of such excursions. But here, while it is important to be bear-aware, any feelings of foreboding will more likely derive from glimpsing the visible effects of recent forest fires on parts of the trail.
Margerie Glacier
WHERE: Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska
Probably the closet thing to The Wall to be found in the National Park Service, Margerie Glacier, a 21-mile long glacier found in the Fairweather Range rises 250 feet above the water in Glacier Bay and is simply stunning to behold. Icy cliffs tower above you and the ice pack periodically calves, or falls and breaks, into the ocean. Take a concessionaire boat to visit, via Glacier Bay Lodge and Tours.
Fairyland Loop
WHERE: Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
This 8-mile long loop trail ventures into the heart of Bryce Canyon and is filled to the brim with chiseled sandstone hoodoos and bristlecone and ponderosa pine trees. Given the color palette, we liken this expanse to the Red City, home of the Unsullied. The views of the canyon from both Sunrise and Ferryland Points are payoffs to a day of steady hiking. You can also take a side trail to view Tower Bridge, a rock formation that really does look like Tower Bridge (or is it Frey's Castle?) in London.
INSIDER TIPRemember you're at nearly 8,000 feet above sea level, so bring a good supply of water and don't do more trail than you can handle.
Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site
WHERE: Saugus, Massachusetts
This fully functioning re-creation of a 17th-century ironworks is the perfect place to experience of Gendry the blacksmith who may or may not be royalty. The original ironworks was founded by the first Puritans to arrive in Massachusetts and now transports you to the enchanting (and at times terrifying) realm of Kings Landing—or, perhaps more precisely, to a 17th-century foundry. Park rangers may not be tasked with forming Valyrian steel, but they are more than happy to demonstrate actual blacksmithing using huge bellows, waterwheels, and a giant forming hammer.
Goblin Gates
WHERE: Olympic National Park, Washington
In the Elwha River Valley, in the northern portion of Olympic National Park and near the main visitor center in Port Angeles, Goblin Gates is a roaring gorge of turquoise water that is bewitching as the ceaseless current at the shores of Dragonstone, King's Landing (or the Iron Islands). A moderate 1.5 miles from the Whiskey Bend trailhead on the Humes Ranch Loop Trail, Goblin Gates is a popular day hike. For a longer and relatively easy hike in the Elwha district, take the full 8-mile loop, which stretches through more of the moist, forested beauty of Olympic National Park and accesses stunning and historic sites, like Humes Ranch, the Grand Canyon of the Elwha, and the Dodger Point Bridge, over the Elwha River. The river washes out Whiskey Bend Road on occasion, as is the case right now. In that event, park inside of the gates in the designated spots and hike in to access the trailhead.
Thunder Hole
WHERE: Acadia National Park, Maine
Jamie Lannister calls the Ironborn "a bitter angry people who steal the things they cannot build." Thunder Hole, a coastal inlet just off of the main thoroughfare of Park Loop Road in Acadia, conveys the fractious spirit of the Ironborn in the waves that rush toward a narrow cove along the coastline. When the waves crash against steep granite cliffs, a spray of water blasts more than 40-feet into the air. The name comes from the sound you hear during this event, a crash of thunder. Wear a rain jacket!

As the communal carnage in Gujarat enters its third month, the Vajpayee government has fashioned a three-pronged strategy: brazen out the opprobrium, attack domestic and international critics of Narendra Modi for "interfering" in "internal" matters (of party and nation), and stage farcical "peace marches" to further terrorise Gujarat's religious minorities – as George Fernandes and his ink did on 28 April. This strategy must be comprehensively defeated in the interests of the people not just of India, but all of South Asia. This criticism must be sustained.
Vajpayee would like to depict the diabolical violence in Gujarat as a "communal riot" or as an "understandable", "spontaneous", "natural" retaliation for the terrible 27 February Godhra episode in which 58 Hindus were burnt alive. In reality, the violence has been a one-sided, targeted, systematic, massacre – a pogrom of Muslims. Yet, the Indian foreign ministry's official report, posted on its website, does not even mention Muslims.
Far from being spontaneous, the Gujarat violence was pre-planned and in the making for weeks. The 24 hour-long gap between the supposed "trigger event" and the butchery that began on 28 February, the geographical extent of the violence, and the collusive involvement of the state, all reinforce the conclusion.
Gujarat marks a South Asian watershed. It is this region's worst pogrom of a religious/ethnic minority in half a century, sponsored and organised by the state. Even the massacre of the Sikhs` after Indira Gandhi's assassination in 1984 pales beside it in sheer cruelty and in the overt nature of the state's involvement.
In 1984, an apologetic, embarrassed Indian government brought the rioting under control in 72 hours by deploying the army. Today, the BJP delights in Modi's success in "teaching the Muslims a lesson" and "standing firm". Millions continue to live in a climate of terror and intimidation, including over 100,000 in the inhuman conditions of refugee camps.
No government has so blatantly justified, the way Vajpayee has, the killing of its own innocent citizens and the flagrant breach of its own sources of authority and legitimacy.. the democratic constitution, the fundamental rights it guarantees – above all, the right to life – and adherence to secularism and pluralism.
And none has so egregiously sought shelter in "the last refuge of the scoundrel". Faced with widespread and wholly justified expressions of international concern at Gujarat's ethnic cleansing, Vajpayee invokes patriotism and sovereignty.
Vajpayee's BJP is deeply implicated in covering up its diabolical misdeeds. This involvement derives directly from the Hindutva agenda of polarising and communalising society by stoking profoundly irrational prejudices, denying and altering India's multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-ethnic character, and imposing the will of the majority on insecure minorities to effectively exclude and disenfranchise them.
This viciously undemocratic agenda must not succeed. Its pursuit menaces the whole of South Asia. At stake is the plural, multi-cultural, and multi-religious nature of each one of our societies and the future of our democracies, many of them already under strain.
The BJP and its cohorts could not have embarked on their project in the absence of the global political conditions created by the United States' response to 11 September, and Washington's indulgence of Vajpayee's right-wing regime which seeks a "strategic partnership" with the US as it kowtows to capitalist globalisation.
By reducing all issues of international and national security to "terrorism" alone, and by opting for an indiscriminate and disproportionate military response to it, Bush has legitimised a sharp increase in the level of violence that can be used by governments against their internal adversaries. Sharon and Vajpayee have taken their cue from him.
Other South Asian leaders too may do the same. To prevent this, those culpable for the Gujarat carnage must be brought to book – both in national and international forums which have jurisdiction in respect of crimes against humanity.
All South Asian peoples must actively protest the Gujarat pogrom. Human rights are a universal concern. Their gross violation calls for global intervention. "Sovereignty" is no defence against crimes against humanity. Considering the crimes committed in Gujarat, civil society in South Asia has a special responsibility.
The South Asian diaspora living in countries which allow universal jurisdiction for heinous crimes must join hands in bringing the guilty of Gujarat to book. That task must not be hijacked by parochial and communal forces.
There is one other, positive, lesson from Gujarat. It is India's civil society groups and the media, not political parties, which took the lead in highlighting, investigating and demanding action on the carnage. They largely succeeded in forcing the parties to take Gujarat on board and give it high priority. Civil society and the press can play such a pioneering role even in situations where democracy is weak. They must.
Gujarat's dance of death will not end unless the larger world community – and in particular South Asian peoples – shame the Vajpayee government into takin g long-overdue corrective measures: replace the BJP's state government with an impartial regime that cracks down on the perpetrators of the violence, purges the administration of communal influences, and undertakes full physical, economic and psychological rehabilitations of the victims.
Gujarat is a watershed, a defining moment, a paradigm shift. South Asians must treat it as such.

Just like everybody knows Biden and the Democrats cheated massively in the election, they also know that Joe Biden orchestrated crooked deals in China and elsewhere to enrich himself.
Biden got tired of everybody around him getting rich. 47 years in politics with nothing to show for it. And all around him Leftists were cashing in at unimaginable levels. None of them were getting caught or indicted.
So Biden decided to cash in like his contemporaries. But he made lots of mistakes. Like leaving a video trail. You just can't extort people on camera, and think the world won't notice. That's what Biden did in Ukraine.
Next, you don't put your crackhead son in charge of the operation; particularly if they also are sexual deviants.
Now Hunter Biden is back in the news. And he's dragging the wannabe "President-elect" into the picture.
Below is audio of Hunter Biden that raises LOTS of questions about the family's involvement with China.
I get calls from my father to tell me that the New York Times is calling, but my old partner Eric who literally has done me harm for I don't know how long is the one taking the calls because my father will not stop sending the calls to Eric.
I have another NY Times reporter calling about my representation of the literally Dr. Patrick Ho, the f*cking spy chief of China who started the company that my partner who is worth $323 billion founded and it now missing. The richest man in the world is missing who was my partner. He was missing since I last saw him in his $58,000,000 apartment and signed a $4 billion deal to build the f*cking largest f*cking LNG port in the world.
And, I am receiving calls from the Southern District of New York from the US attorney himself that my best friend in business Devon has named me as a material witness in a criminal case, and my father, without telling me.
From this transcript, clearly Joe Biden didn't want Hunter facing the media. Instead, he pointed them at Eric.
But that only the beginning of the bad news for Bozo Biden. You see, Hunter appears to know that he's entering into an agreement with a Chinese spy!
Who are the other players? According to The Marshall Report,
He [Hunter] appears to reference the former Secretary of Home Affairs in Hong Kong, Patrick Ho as the "Spy Chief of China" and mentions the disappearance of his wealthy business partner, Ye Jianming of CEFC China Energy.
This is incredible. Remember when Trump got pilloried by the Left for even considering building a hotel in Russia. And Trump is in the business of building hotels!
Hunter Biden knows NOTHING about LNG or any other energy product, and he's brokering energy deals with the richest man in China. We all know that Hunter Biden was just the middle man for the Biden family.
Imagine if Don Jr knowingly entered into a deal with the chief spy of ANY country?! The media would rightly be relentless.
At least the fake news media is at least discussing this situation. But the Bidens partnering with Chinese spies raises serious ethical and legal questions.
President Trump will have a lot to deal with during his second term.

The origin and application of MIL - std-105e sampling table
MIL - STD - 105 - e sampling plan is also called count gather sampling plan, purchasing munitions during world war ii U.S. military weapons and equipment, for all the supplier to the acceptance inspection, process inspection, product inspection, in the form of outgoing inspection and strict inspection to ensure the quality of weapons and equipment, but as a result of types of products and sharply increased, and the process is complicated, the previous inspection system cannot respond to this trend, and use audit inspection methods developed by the sampling plan.
The term and symbol of sampling inspection
1 sampling inspection, such as by a group of products or materials, scattered, random a certain number of samples, in accordance with the project inspection or test, the results and determine the benchmark, to determine the whole batch of qualified or not qualified the job.
LOT: a collection of products produced under same conditions.
Send inspection approval: send the approved batch.
LOT SIZE: the total number of individuals tested in the delivery inspection is usually represented by N.
SAMPLE: the product that extracts the job test object from the batch.
SAMPLING: SAMPLING from the batch.
SAMPLE SIZE: the number of samples is represented by n.
8. The number of qualified judgment: the sample contents may contain the highest number of defective products when the approval is qualified, which is expressed by Ac or c
The number of unqualified determination: the number of the least defective products contained in the sample is indicated by Re.
Sampling inspection plan: stipulates the sample size, the number of qualified judgment to decide whether to send the inspection to be qualified or unqualified, this combination is called the sampling inspection plan.For example, n = 50, c = 2 is the sampling inspection plan.
ACCEPTABLE QUALITY LEVEL AQL (ACCEPTABLE QUALITY LEVEL) is also known as ACCEPTABLE LEVEL, for approval
The quality satisfaction limit is expressed as Po when the batch is defective.The quality of the consignment has reached this level and the consumer is willing to accept it as much as possible.
2. Defect DEFFECT classification method
Any of the characteristics and specifications of the products shall be referred to as the defects in the design and the contract.It is usually divided into the following
At all levels.However, other classification methods may be adopted or subdivided into these grades.
2-1 serious DEFECT (CRITICAL DEFECT) :
Also known as dangerous faults, means the judgment or experience, think this drawback will be able to make the maker, equipping or user has injured or unsafe when possible, or cannot perform its final products or the disadvantages of the products should have the function of.
MAJOR defects:
Means no serious shortcomings, the use of performance products unit, cannot achieve the desired purpose, or significantly reduce use nature actually caused by the customer or users are not satisfied, and will be return.
2-3 MINOR defects:
The term refers to the use performance of the unit, may not be reduced, or although it is inconsistent with the specification, it has no effect on the use and operation of the utility.
AQL is the highest rate of failure that consumers consider satisfactory.Usually the same AQL sample size is higher than the sample hour.The order of AQL in the 105D table is from 0.01 to 0.10 with a level of 5, 0.10 to 1.0 has a level of 5, and 1.0 to 10.0 also has a level of 5, which is arranged in a geometric series of 5, 10, and the second AQL is 1.6 times that of the previous AQL.When the AQL value is below 10.0, the number of defective or hundred defects can be expressed in terms of more than 10.0.The sample size is also arranged in a series of 5 10 series.
4. Inspection standard:
General inspection level I, II, III level 3, unless there are special provisions, use the class II inspection level, but not too much understanding, can use grade I standard, need higher understanding level III level is used to test.Another special test level has s-1, s-2, s-3 and s-4.Is that I wish to small sample sizes, the use of special level when the batch is great, or inspection cost is very high, and allows a greater hazard rate, or destructive test, special standards can be used for sampling plan.
5. Determination of acceptance and rejection:
5-1 sampling time, if the bad product in the sample is d:
D. The Ac is acceptable
D. The negative number is rejected by Re
(normal or strict check Rc = Ac + 1)
If the first sampling d1 bad product is first sampled, if the first sampling d1 is not good, then the second sampling is of d2 defective products:
The first sampling of defective products has d1
D1 acceptance
In the first sampling of Ac1 < d1 < Re1, the second sampling is done, with d2
The (d1 + d2) is acceptable
(d1 + d2) Re2 rejected
(normal or strict check Re2 = Ac2 + 1)
5-3 times of sampling, the number of defective items in di table I sampling is:
Σ di Aci ≦ acceptable
Σ di Re1 ≧ rejected
Aci < Σ di "Rei sampling again (I = 1, 2,... 7, and normal or tightened inspection Re7 = Ac7 + 1)
6. Brief history of AQL:
The AQL was originally proposed by the Ordnance Department of U.S. Army.By Bell Telephone Laboratories (Bell Telephone Laboratories) engineers mainly set up by The group, published in 1942, The Ordnance Tables. After some correction and expand and develop into The Army Service Forces Tables, table contains a single and double sampling plan, and applications, with double sampling plan is preferred.
The Statistical sampling table of SRG's navy was developed by the Statistical Research Group of Columbia University in 1945. This table is similar to the Army Service Forces tables, with some differences except for multiple sampling plans.
In 1949, JAN - std-105 was developed by the integrated land and navy individual sampling table, and the jan-std-105 table was replaced by the MIL -std-105a table in 1950. The form of the MIL -std-105a table was similar to the standard table mentioned above, and there were some modifications.In 1958, the MIL - std-105b was changed to MIL - std-105b, which was changed to MIL - std-105c in 1961.
From 1960 to 1962, by the United States, Britain and Canada and other countries of the military representatives committee said ABC work group, make joint count value of the three general sampling table, the table is originates from the AQL system, and published in 1963 for the MIL - STD - 105 - d table, but to honor its international, is named as ABC - STD - 105.
The use of the sampling table of the two - MIL - std-105d (or abc-std-105)
1. Specified delivery test batch N.
2. Determine acceptable quality level AQL.
3. Decides to adopt single, double or multiple sampling methods.
4. Select the quality of inspection, unless specifically specified, generally using level II.
5. Sample representative in table (6-1) by batch N and inspection standard.
6. Depending on the severity of sampling methods and inspection (start selects the normal inspection), respectively, using the "normal", "strict", or "decrement inspection table", by the generation of words and the AQL value Chad sampling plan.
7. Use the intersecting column of each table and the AQL value to obtain the sample size n.
B. MAJOR DEFECTIVS AQL = 1.5 acceptance criteria.
C. Secondary weaknesses (MINOR DEFECTIVS AQL = 4.0) acceptance criteria.
D. SAMPLING by SINGLE SAMPLING PLAN.
E. adopt LEVEL II INSPECTION LEVEL (INSPECTION LEVEL II).
F. The conditions of a-e are identified by the sample table (6-1) as "J", and then the table (6-2) single normal inspection table:
Sample size (i.e. the number of products to be tested) : 80PCS
The number of cases must be at least the square root value of the total number of boxes, for example: the total number of boxes is 200 cases and the number of cases shall be at least 15 cases.
While AOL = 1.5 acceptance level, the acceptable number of defective products is 3PCS = Ac.
The rejected defective number is 4PCS = Re.
While AQL = 4.0 acceptable level, the acceptable number of defective products is 7PCS = Ac.
8PCS of defective products are rejected.
By Syria's condition and check the data, that the goods are doing this for you to follow the sampling inspection standard, then you can be in accordance with the actual standard of bad play and number of consistent or difference as the judgment of this shipment is acceptable or rejected.
Single Sampling plan for Normal Inspection is generally tested
If the sampling number is equal to or greater than the number of batches, the test will be 100%.
Arrow = use arrows to move up the first sampling plan.
Ac = allowed, Re = rejected.

Circle Drive-In in Dickson City hosts free St. Patrick's Day screening of 'Quiet Man' and 'Rudy' on March 13
There may not be a St. Patrick's Parade in Scranton this month, but a local nonprofit Irish Catholic fraternal organization will still celebrate the holiday with a festive socially distanced event.
Scranton's Ancient Order of Hibernians Paul "Hook" O'Malley Division 4 will host a free double feature of "The Quiet Man" and "Rudy" at the Circle Drive-In Theatre in Dickson City on Saturday, March 13.
Gates open at 5:15 p.m., and the first movie starts at 6:15 p.m.
The AOH will be taking financial donations and canned goods for local food banks. While not required, attendees are encouraged to do what they can for this charitable cause.
Directed by John Ford, "The Quiet Man" is a 1952 comedic drama starring John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, and Victor McLaglen. A tired American ex-boxer returns to his native hamlet in Ireland to win the hand of a spirited young woman. He is confronted by strict local customs and the woman's belligerent brother. Set in the verdant Irish countryside, this lively film has beautiful scenery, brilliant repartee, and local charm.
"Rudy" is a 1993 American biographical sports film starring Sean Astin, Ned Beatty, and Lili Taylor and directed by David Anspaugh. Young Rudy's life goal is to play football at Notre Dame, but his grades, finances, and size hold him back. Despite the odds, however, he works to overcome his obstacles and makes a trip to South Bend to pursue his longtime dream.
The Circle Drive-In (1911 Scranton/Carbondale Hwy., Dickson City) opened its last season on May 1 with coronavirus safety protocols in place, and it was able to reopen its popular Flea Fair on May 24.
The Circle has a 1,000 car capacity and typically shows movies on its main 5,000 square foot screen and adjacent smaller screen on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights from April through September, including double features. During the pandemic, it extended its hours and began hosting live drive-in concerts on Aug. 30.
The Circle first opened as a drive-in theater on Sept. 10, 1949, making it one of the longest-running drive-ins in the United States. Today, it uses digital projection and audio but maintains a classic feel with its old signage and fully stocked refreshment stand.
The Circle Drive-In also holds special events like the seasonal Circle of Screams haunted attraction, the NEPA Horror Film Festival, Cult Movie Club screenings, and themed movie nights in addition to parties, weddings, fundraisers, and music.

You can now use the DJ performance software to mix tracks listed on the music hosting service.
SoundCloud has launched its integration with Serato DJ.
Initially announced back in October, this is the first in a series of integrations between the audio platform and a host of DJ software products, giving DJs the ability to browse and play music listed on the site in their sets.
"Today's launch is the first time DJs can mix and stream SoundCloud's massive catalog directly in professional-level DJ software," said SoundCloud CEO Kerry Trainor in a blog post last week.
The Verge has pointed out that there is currently no support for offline use, meaning a fast, stable Wi-Fi connection is essential for actually utilising the integration in a DJ set, although SoundCloud plans to roll out the feature in the future.
Users will need a SoundCloud Go+ account, which costs $9.99 per month, and either Serato DJ Pro 2.1 or DJ Lite 1.1 to use the service. SoundCloud will launch integrations with Native Instruments, Virtual DJ, DEX3, Mixvibes and Hercules in 2019.

What Should Be the Price of Oil if Libyan Exports Are Halted?
As you may already know, there is a lot of political instability all over the MENA region, this time in Libya, the country with the largest oil reserves in Africa. As an investor who's (probably like anyone else) currently trading oil, I was very interested to know how much oil should jump should all Libya stops exporting oil for one reason or the other. Because of this, I made a little research to estimate what is a realistic price for oil (NYMEX) should this occur.
Prior to this crisis, NYMEX Oil delivery for March closed at $89.71 last Friday, after being already affected by the instability in Egypt, and then in Bahrain (not to mention other tensions in the Middle East). A week earlier it was in the mid 80s. At this very moment, it is currently being traded at around $94.70, up $5 from Friday (yesterday was a holiday). Let's assess Libya from an oil production perspective.
Libya produces 1.1 million barrels a day, compared to a world production of around 70 million barrels. This means that the Libyan contribution to the world oil is 1.1/70 = 1.5%, which means, as a worst case scenario, the world will experience a demand of another 1.5%, which means that the oil price should go up only 1.5% (By the way, I'm sure that OPEC will easily cover for this 1.5%), so this makes the realistic oil price, taking into consideration the global instability (in particular in the Middle East), around $91.35. The rest is pure speculation.
But then again, as many investors say (including me), buy the rumor, sell the news. But you know what, I'm selling nearly all my HOUs and I'm buying some HODs by the end of the day today. The former is way overvalued, and the latter is way undervalued.
Tomorrow will be more fun…

|Our History
Our experience has enabled us to provide not only the mechanics but also the nuances, which make the registration processes of such events seamless and painless!
Perhaps the most concise means of relating who, what, where, when, and how we do our work is to present the following brief history of our organization. WalCom, Inc. is essentially a holding company, which has owned and operated a number of other businesses, all in the computer-related industry, with substantial synergies among these entities. About 35 years ago, Walton Commercial Enterprises, Inc. (WalCom's previous corporate name) was formed to "own" a franchise territory in the Greater Cleveland, Ohio area for PCR-Personal Computer Rentals, a short-term, full-service computer rental national network.
The following year, WalCom purchased the Central Ohio franchise territory from the PCR network. Later our two rental operations were no longer franchisees of the PCR network but were then identified as "WalCom Computer Rentals of Cleveland, Inc. & WalCom Computer Rentals of Columbus, Inc." These rental companies derived approximately 1/3 of their business from corporate training requirements, 1/3 of their business from special needs and/or peak demand business requirements, and 1/3 of their business from the convention/trade show industry.
In 1986, a group of commercial show managers approached me with the desire that our organization would somehow design, create, and administrate an event registration system for their respective companies. Our previous relationships had been built by providing rental computer equipment for their use during pre- & on-site registration. The myriad of problems which they were encountering were not atypical or unique to the industry. Computerized registration systems had been designed by either: A) computer programmers not familiar with the intricacies of the convention / trade show industry; or by: B) industry personnel not familiar with the intricacies of data base programming. This group of event managers were aware of my previous background in "C" language data base programming and our experience in the convention / trade show industry. After substantial prodding, we reluctantly agreed to design a moderately sophisticated registration system. Since that time we have enhanced the system with approximately 85 unique modules to address a myriad of special needs and desires. WalCom's proprietary copyrighted system is today probably the most comprehensive registration system available for events of up to 250,000 attendees!
The original brainstorming sessions provided the basis for the concept, design, implementation, and logistical processes necessary for this system. Initially the primary task of the group was the definition of a "perfect-world" list of desires for all three groups involved in the industry: 1) the attendee, 2) the exhibitor / presenter, and 3) event management. The extensive dream sheets that evolved were seriously considered and became the master reference documents for all future criteria. Examples of a few of the many features of the system derived from this
constitution include: on-site check-in & actual credential printing for faster, more accurate distribution; a design limitation of a maximum of 3 minutes on-site registration time; a simplistic and economical, yet highly effective lead tracking system which will still provide the attendee with some degree of anonymity; focused collection of vital demographic information for both exhibitors / presenters and event management; frugal cost containment without sacrificing professionalism; detailed accountability and pre/on-site/post event reporting capabilities; secure credit card processing
services; electronic funds transfer capabilities; in- and out- of-house auditing; and presentation quality demographics analysis. While the evolution of our system has provided us with a core system for virtually any type of event, each event in which we participate is serviced by the core system with unique modifications to the system for that special event. The diversity of events and types of clients over the years have ranged from very small (500 or less attendees) and highly complex to "large" (250,000+ attendees) and highly complex client
needs. Our average tenure as registrar for a client has been in excess of 15+ years, with an atritration rate of of nearly 90% due to cessation of the event for business reasons not related to registration needs.
In 1999 WalCom, Inc. (51% woman owned & 49% vetran owned) divested itself of its computer rental, training facilities, specialty sales and consulting businesses. This has allowed the principals to concentrate on strictly the registration business, which has mushroomed in terms of proportionate activities and now includes logistical services as well.

Luke Perry's death certificate has been released, confirming details about his final days.
According to the document, obtained by TMZ, a service for Perry was held at The Alpha Society funeral home in Burbank, California. The certificate contains omissions, but TMZ reported that the "Riverdale" and "Beverly Hills, 90210" star was buried in Dixon, Tennessee, on Monday. Page Six has reached out to Perry's rep for confirmation.
On March 4, a rep told Page Six Perry died of a massive stroke "surrounded by his children Jack and Sophie, fiancé Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Minnie Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, step-father Steve Bennett, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder, and other close family and friends."
Perry's certificate confirmed he died of an ischemic cerebrovascular accident, which is when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel and prevents blood and oxygen from getting to a part of the brain, according to Medline Plus. He was hospitalized at Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California.
Perry's fiancée, Wendy Madison Bauer, was listed as his health care directive.
After his death, Bauer released a statement, saying in part, "The past 11½ years with Luke were the happiest years of my life, and I am grateful to have had that time with him. I also want to thank his children, family, and friends for their love and support. We have found comfort in one another and in the knowledge that our lives were touched by an extraordinary man. He will be dearly missed."

Parameshwari is an idiosyncratic modern raga, brought into being by Pandit Ravi Shankar in the late 1960s. Full of dark, pensive momentum, the new creation enraptured listeners worldwide – and also seems to have played a hidden role in catalysing the first global wave of 'benefit concerts': starting with George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh in 1971, continuing through fourteen years later to Live Aid and beyond.
While it might be a stretch to claim that Bob Geldof directly owes his latter-day fame to Parameshwari's sparse, austere melodic motions (or that Ravi Shankar is to blame for Do They Know It's Christmas?), the raga's role in the overall tale is intriguing, and seemingly significant. Shankar's wife Sukanya recounts the raga's origin in the liner notes to a 1971 LP release:
"The inspiration for this raga goes back to Chengali, a little village near Kolkata. During the filming of his autobiographical film, Raga, Ravi-ji travelled to Chengali…in March 1968. While riding in the car, he conceived the nucleus of a melodic form, that he later developed and called Kameshwari. By [rotating the scale] he discovered three more ragas…and Parameshwari was one of them."
Such a precise origin story sits in stark contrast to the abstruse, mythological histories of most ragas. While it's difficult for me to imagine what the great Tansen may have been up to at Emperor Akbar's 16th-century durbar (royal court), we've all run tunes through our head to idle away long hours stuck in transit. Doubtless, this has been going on since the dawn of organised human locomotion.
The raga proved popular with concert audiences around the world. In 1971, three years on from its inception, Shankar performed a baithak (house concert) at the home of a Hollywood friend, playing Parameshwari as the soundtrack to a broader mission. Sukanya describes the scene: "It was during this gathering that he spoke about his distress over the plight of the people of East Pakistan [soon to become Bangladesh] in the aftermath of Cyclone Bhola. Being Bengali himself, he talked about wanting to do something to alleviate the suffering".
The vicious tropical storm had killed over half a million inhabitants of the Ganges Delta the previous year (as if everyone living in Edinburgh, Lisbon, or Abu Dhabi had been wiped from the map). It devastated many of the same communities he had passed through while filming, including the region around Chengali – the site of the raga's seemingly prophetic inception. (See the footage below, shot in East Pakistan, for some of what Shankar was taking about – warning: graphic scenes).
The Pandit discussed the human impacts of the crisis at length, seeking to raise awareness – and hard cash – from his star-studded living-room audiences. Sukanya explains how he would "invite friends over, and then all the four Beatles, and people like Marlon Brando, Zubin Mehta, and Peter Sellers would drop by…".
The occasion of Parameshwari's 1971 Hollywood performance seems to have provided the necessary spark, via George Harrison (always my favourite Beatle…although I'm probably biased due to also being an English guitarist/sitarist called George). In Sukanya's telling, "Harrison, in attendance that day, listened – and from those conversations the seed was sown for what would later become the Concert for Bangladesh".
Once their intentions were set, the pair wasted little time, organising and hosting the mega-concert just a couple of months later. On Sun 1 Aug 1971 (a date cited as auspicious by Harrison's Indian astrologer), Madison Square Garden saw a 40,000-strong crowd gather to witness a stellar selection of artists – including Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Leon Russell, Billy Preston, and Harrison himself. Ravi Shankar teamed up with sarod maestro Ustad Ali Akbar Khan to play the show-opening set.
The extravaganza would eventually raise over $12 million dollars via tickets, donations, and a wildly successful triple-album, while also bringing genuine Bengali melodies to the adulation of a massive global audience: rather than Parameshwari's measured tension, Shankar and Khan, both musicians with Bengali familial roots, chose to play a joyous Bangla Dhun (folk tune):
While generally appraised as a pioneering humanitarian effort, the project – like all such large-scale philanthropic enterprises – was not without serious mistakes and blindnesses. Though founded to fundraise for the all-too-recent aftermath of Cyclone Bhola, it would take over a decade for the majority of the money to reach the region, locked up by the Inland Revenue Service in a tax-deductibility dispute with the Beatles' Apple Corps over how it should be classified (yeah, death and taxes go hand-in-hand…).
And, though administered via UNICEF, the eventual funds were put to somewhat chaotic use on the ground (overlapping with issues Harrison was already singing about – e.g. in Miss O'Dell, he speaks of "rice that keeps going astray…on its way to Bombay"). Organisers also met with resistance from record companies, who were disinclined to allow their contracted artists to appear – and it is rumoured that John Lennon pulled out at the last minute when Harrison refused to allow Yoko to appear on stage with him ("her performing didn't meet his standards").
So – did Parameshwari lead to Live Aid? Well…such a simple narrative would certainly be a stretch. But the Concert for Bangladesh definitely did help inspire – and provide an operational blueprint for – future benefit shows such as Live Aid and Live Earth. However, while the raga seems to have have soundtracked a pivotal social moment in the concert's origin tale, I feel like Shankar's obsessive drive and energy would have found a way through without it. Parameshwari's fabled living room performance was far from the only time he pushed the issue forward.
Then again, it's no stretch to imagine that such an event could have turned out very differently without a few key conversations and chance meetings (Shankar originally envisaged only a modest-sized classical sitar recital, but with Peter Sellers as guest compère…). Looking back, the Pandit himself was clearly pleased with proceedings, proclaiming that "in one day, the whole world knew the name of Bangladesh. It was a fantastic occasion".

Mayor Kate Snyder said city staff is conducting outreach to abutters and neighbors after concerns were raised about the recent announcement that Portland plans to consolidate social services in an Arts District office building.
Snyder also said there will be a May 5 Health and Human Services and Public Safety Committee meeting to further discuss the proposal to move services to 39 Forest Ave. A forum was also held April 23 with members of the Portland Downtown advocacy group.
Snyder previously said she would meet with City Manager Jon Jennings and Councilor Belinda Ray – who represents the Forest Avenue district – to create a plan for better public outreach as the proposal moves towards the City Council, which must approve the lease agreement.
The May 5 meeting will be another opportunity for councilors to ask questions and get information.
The plan to consolidate the city's Needle Exchange Program on India Street, the Public Health Division on Lancaster Street, and other administrative locations at 39 Forest Ave. was only revealed in early April. The city's lease on Lancaster Street expires on July 1.
The fast-tracked nature of the process has concerned some abutters, including Portland Stage Company and the Maine College of Art, because they received no notice before reports of the consolidation plan appeared in the press.
MECA is planning a 180-bed residence hall directly next door at 45 Forest Ave., and college administrators as well as the project developer, Redfern LLC, expressed concern about the process and safety for students who will live in the dorm.
To be able to move out of Lancaster Street by July 1, the city would have to expedite the negotiation process and begin renovations at 39 Forest Ave. soon. Critics said that doesn't leave enough time for the public to adequately discuss the plan.
The city began looking at the former MaineHealth building in February 2020, but those discussions paused because of the coronavirus pandemic. The property owners reached out to the city again early this year to say the building was still available.
If approved, the first floor of 39 Forest Ave. would house the Needle Exchange Program, and be fully utilized by November. The second floor would house the Public Health Division and would have security and a metal detector.
City officials have said the current spaces on Lancaster and India streets have exhausted their potential, and the Forest Avenue building offers more potential for growth, as well as a lower rental cost per square foot.
The current rent for India and Lancaster streets is just over $280,000 per year, while the rent at 39 Forest Ave. would be $277,500.

KAYAC submits patent application for new technology regarding artificial neural network! Also establishing KAYAC AI Team for research and development of artificial intelligence!
KAYAC Inc. announces that it has submitted a patent application for new technology to realize distributed computation of neural network using only perceptrons, the smallest building block of the network to which an enormous number of artificial intelligence (AI) perceptrons are connected. At the same time, KAYAC has established KAYAC AI Team for research and development of AI.
Activities of KAYAC AI Team
In recent years, development of AI technologies are expected to bring transformation in diverse areas. Conventionally, use of AI has required two kinds of investments: investment into collecting big data to allow AI to process and learn data, and investment into hardware that processes big data. KAYAC AI Team reduces the two investment burdens and offers technologies that become a platform for developing new solutions for enterprises and individuals that have had difficulties using AI. KAYAC will contribute to building a better society by enabling its philosophy "Create more Creators."
About technology under patent review
"The technology under patent review breaks up an artificial neural network into perceptrons and performs the same process (calculation) repeatedly with different values, running the same function of conventional artificial neural networks in the smallest memory space. This will reduce investment burdens such as expanding infrastructure and hardware.
The same function available for artificial neural networks can be built for smartphones and other hardware devices to compute the same results as conventional AI."

RICHMOND, Va. – It will be illegal to feed deer in the state of Virginia starting September 1.
The annual ban runs thorough the first Saturday in January in most of the state. It is illegal to feed deer year-round in Buchanan, Clarke, Dickenson, Frederick, Shenandoah, Warren, and Wise counties, including the cities and towns within.
All feed must be removed from any deer feeding site before September 1, and any area where deer feed has been distributed is cannot be hunted over for 10 days following the complete removal of food.
It is illegal to feed deer or elk in any county, city, or town during any deer or elk hunting season. Urban archery season runs through March and deer seasons run through April in Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties.
These restrictions do not apply to agricultural plantings or food distributed to livestock.
Feeding deer can unnaturally increase deer populations and damage natural habitats, according to the Department of Game & Inland Fisheries. Deer hunting over bait is illegal in Virginia.
If you see or suspect someone of illegally feeding deer during this time period, or observe any wildlife violations, report it to DGIF's Wildlife Crime Line at 1-800-237-5712.

Common-scale assessment of early and foundational math learning across the Global South
A solid foundation in logical thinking is important for lifelong learning. However, learning inequalities start in early childhood, and a significant proportion of children enrolled in school do not learn even the most basic skills. This is due in part to a lack of assessment mechanisms and policy action to address the learning crisis. This project will respond to this challenge by scaling a digitally adaptive common-scale math assessment tool called Citizen Led Assessment of Numeracy (CLAN), which is tailored for assessing, reporting, and providing community- and school-relevant data that can be easily understood by parents and communities.
CLAN is an innovative approach that assesses basic reading and math competencies in children. This citizen-led initiative was first developed in India in 2005. It is based on the belief that people need simple but rigorous measures of social outcomes to generate data they can use for change and improvement. CLAN is administered in the home, thus capturing information from children who do not attend school and who would not otherwise be visible in other national and international school-based assessments.
CLAN was implemented in one rural district in each of 13 countries in 2019. This project will support the expansion of the tool to three districts in 11 countries in Africa and Asia. The tool will also be expanded to include foundational math skills with the goal of producing data on early math skills that is comprehensible for local communities and internationally comparable. The project was selected through a global call, initiated by the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange, to learn about scaling proven innovative approaches in education in developing country contexts.

Fox sports is reporting that the teams with the most interest in Jayson Werth are the Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. Per the Fox report, most people in baseball see the Red Sox as the favorite to land the former Phillie. However, Boston did not make Werth an offer when they met with him in Chicago on Wednesday.
It also states that Detroit, who is in the market for an outfield bat, are more confident in their ability to sign Werth than the top free agent OF Carl Crawford.
Other possible suitors include the Texas Rangers, who may jump into the race for Werth if they miss out on Cliff Lee. The Yankees could also pursue Werth once Lee makes his decision. This might motivate Werth's agent Scott Boras to keep his client on the market until Lee makes his decision.
The only other team that appears to be a possibility for Werth is the Los Angeles Angels, who are looking to upgrade their outfield but are more focused on Carl Crawford right now. If Crawford were to sign elsewhere, they could become players for Werth.

The Brooklyn Nets acquired 10-time All Star Kevin Durant this offseason, but it wasn't through free agency, rather via a sign-and-trade with the Golden State Warriors that sent restricted free agent D'Angelo Russell to the Bay Area.
On top of getting a champion in Durant, the team was able to secure a potential first-round draft pick as part of the deal, and they have Kevin Durant to thank for that.
According to a report by ESPN's Brian Windhorst — Durant didn't think being traded for Russell straight up was good enough, so he pressured his former team into sending a pick as well.
"First, Durant initially balked at being traded for Russell straight up, multiple sources said. He didn't think it was a fair deal, and in this case, the Warriors had to not just satisfy the Nets, but also Durant."
"Leverage was applied by the player, and Golden State had to include a first-round pick before Durant would agree to sign off. The Warriors begrudgingly gave it up and did so with a heavy condition: If the pick falls within the top 20 next year, they don't have to send it, and instead will only give Brooklyn a second-round pick … in six years."
In addition to the pick, the Nets also forced Golden State to take Shabazz Napier and Treveon Graham, which helped the team sign DeAndre Jordan as a free agent.
Also, because of that sign-and-trade, the Warriors had to trade Andre Iguodala and a protected 2024 first round pick to the Memphis Grizzlies because of salary cap ramifications.

Although — as I've observed earlier — the iPad has lots of annoyances (mostly connected with the absence of multi-tasking), it has one unimpeachable advantage over every other portable device: a 10-hour battery life. Which explains why I now tend to bring it with me whenever access to a power socket might be problematic. At the Royal Society's Web Science event last week, for example, it was slightly comical to see several great minds clustering round the few available power sockets in the room, like thirsty lions drawn to a shrinking water-hole, while I was able to go for a long day on an overnight charge.
This explains, btw, why the iPad is so heavy (far too heavy for use as an eReader). Apple's market research suggested that battery life was one of the features most prized by potential users. So they built the device with a whopping battery. My experience suggests that it was a good decision.
LATER: There were some prim comments on blogs which picked up on this post pointing out that good battery life is "not an App". The moral: some jokes don't work. Sigh.
