Plopsaland is a wonderful family park, very nicely themed. It is actually the ultimate place for young children to meet their TV heroes, like Samson, Gert, Mega Mindy, Piet Piraat, etc. All of them can be seen walking around the park, and then of course, there are also the more than 50 exciting attractions.
In addition to Plopsaland, you can also visit Plopsa Indoor Hasselt, PlopsaCoo, Holiday Park in Germany, and the Netherlands has Plopsa Indoor Coevorden. This means there are already 5 Plopsa parks, where we welcome a total of 2.7 million visitors, which is quite an impressive number!
Our visitors find Plopsaland mainly on the Internet, through our website, for example. In all our communication, we also direct people to our website, which contains all the important information, as well as very useful tools to prepare your visit. A visit to Plopsa.be is really worthwhile.
Our park apps from Plopsaland De Panne and Holiday Park are also hosted by Combell. We have very nice apps that you can use during your visit to the park. They are very handy and allow you to do lots of things: you can receive reminders during your visit, notifications when a show starts, etc. All these apps are hosted by Combell. Combell definitely makes your visit more enjoyable!
Before we started working with Combell, we sometimes had sleepless nights because we were not really sure we could handle certain peaks. Traffic sometimes peaks, depending on the weather. During these days, a lot of people visit our website in order to plan a visit to a Plopsa park. It is then essential that the website remains online. We have experienced some difficulties with this in the past.
On peak days, people plan a visit to one of the Plopsa theme parks via our website. It is then essential that the website remains online.
That support is very important to us; it is crucial for us to be able to reach someone day and night, knowing that if a problem should arise, it will be solved in no time. Combell managed to convince us of this point.
Since we partnered with Combell, we have not experienced any problems. We have never been offline, and have never had to call Combell to quickly fix anything. But I am sure that if a problem occurs, it will be resolved very quickly.
I actually think that Combell is a company that is very similar to ours. We have a very casual, fun way of working, and I also find that kind of friendly attitude in Combell. I really like working with a company that is on the same wavelength as ours. In my opinion, our way of working and Combell's are highly compatible, and that is why there is such a great synergy between the two companies.
Another interesting point is that if you are a premium brand and a trendsetter in the field of theme parks, you try to connect with brands that also stand for quality, and I think we found a perfect match with Combell in that respect. Because Combell is currently the best hosting brand in Belgium.

Triathlon for Dogs
Schutzhund is one of the most fascinating competition dog sports today! The three phases that make up this triathlon for dogs are: Tracking, Obedience and Protection.
Prerequisite: BH Title
In order for dogs to be eligible to compete, they have to have attained a preliminary title, the BH (Begleithund = "Companion Dog"). This title is made up of two phases: Obedience and Traffic .
The obedience is similar to that of the Schutzhund I test, but does not include jumps or retrieves yet.
The traffic portion is basically intended as a test of the dog's general temperament and strength of character, so as to eliminate unfit dogs from protection training.
Dogs have to be 12 months old to try for this title. Scored on a pass or fail basis, it takes a passing score to be able to go on to higher Schutzhund titles.
Once the dog has reached the age of 14 months and successfully taken the BH test, he can then try to attain the first of three Schutzhund titles: SchH I, II and III.
Each level is a bit more challenging, with SchH III being the highest attainable title. To attain each title, dogs have to receive passing scores in each of the three phases of the trial. The highest score in each phase is 100 points, with 300 points being the highest overall score possible. To pass, dogs have to score a minimum of 70 points in Tracking and Obedience, and a minimum of 80 points in Protection.
Schutzhund Title
The Tracking phase is a test of the dog's abilities to follow a track laid by a human some 20 minutes earlier and find and point out two lost articles along the way! The length, age and difficulty of the track varies, depending on the level of competition entered. The tracks are between 400 and 1000 paces long with several turns and even cross tracks in the higher level. Dogs are expected to track the scent with a deep nose, without looking up or stopping, and point out the articles by lying down near them. While the dog is tracking, the handler cannot influence the dog, yet is simply walking behind him at a distance of about 30 feet, connected only with a long tracking lead.
Obedience is clearly a test of the handler and dog performing as a team. While tracking showcases the innate abilities of the dog, without a doubt the obedience phase shows off the abilities of the handler to train his dog, more so than any other phase of the sport. The team is required to perform a variety of on and off leash healing exercises, stays, recalls, retrieves, jumps etc., based in difficulty on the level entered. During off leash heeling, there are also two gunshots fired, to test the dogs nerve costume, and - as each dog also has to perform a long down stay while another dog is heeling etc., these gunshots are also present during the long down stay exercise.
The third - and to many the most exciting phase of the sport is the protection phase. Now the dog has to search for the decoy, find him, hold him at bay, prevent him from escaping, divert attacks on his master, guard the decoy and even fight him when he tries to attack the dog himself. This phase shows off the dog's courage, fighting drive, protective instincts and most of all his devotion for his master.

DNA test proves man who paid $58k in child support isn't the dad

Kerry said he paid almost $60k in child support, but then found out his daughter wasn't his.Source:Channel 9
A MAN who forked out almost $60k in child support payments wants his money back, after a DNA test revealed he isn't the father.
Appearing on Channel 9's A Current Affair, Kerry was a local footballer when he had a one-night stand with Julie.
Now a fisherman, he said the encounter 20 years ago lead to Julie revealing she was pregnant, and that the child was his.
Living in the coastal town of Cervantes in Western Australia, Kerry says he wants his money back from either Julie or the government for paying out $58k over 18 years for a child that wasn't his.
"The bills started to pile up and I had to take action because if I didn't, they would," Kerry told A Current Affair.
"The first time they froze my account was during a fishing season. I had my passport frozen and told that it wouldn't be reinstated until I had paid the bill in full.
"I had $26,000 taken out."
But despite the growing debt, Kerry says he continued to make the payments as he believed the child was his, even though he was slightly skeptical because there were a 'few suitors' for Julie at the time.
Kerry finally got in contact with the DNA agency to confirm once and for all if Julie's daughter was his. He claims they called him an idiot and told him to get a test as soon as possible.
"The consultant from Child Support, when he asked me, I can't see a result for a DNA test here, I said, 'Because I didn't have one'," Kerry said.
"And he pretty much on the phone called me a stupid idiot and to go and get one done as soon as I could."
According to Kerry, not only did the test reveal he wasn't the father, but Julie had also claimed that they were living together when she fell pregnant.
In a statement sent to A Current Affair, Julie said that for 18 years she and her daughter believed Kerry was the father.
"Over the last 18 years Kerry has had the chance to get a DNA test but as myself and Child Support could never get in contact with him, it never happened, and now he is coming out with accusations that are unfounded and untrue," she said.
It is understood Julie will be required to pay back the child support, but as she no longer works, she will be paying just $49.80 a fortnight. But Kerry says he'd rather the Child Support Agency pay back the money for allowing this to happen.
"I've been hassled non-stop by Child Support, but the reason they thought I was the dad wasn't right," he said. "They accepted me as the father without any proof.
"That's what makes me angry, really."

Sunrise Flour Mills sells pricey but great heritage grain flours. They are also a small company going through the typical growing pains of building a digital presence. For example, their fantastic products are not always helped by a website that needs work. But their heart is in the right place. For instance, here's what happened to me when a mistake on my part ended up making me feel like a winner because of their vigilant customer service.
Accidently paying too much for a recent order, they contacted me and offered me something special. I took "the special," which turned out to be something called "7 Grain Heritage Pancake Mix." Wow, was that a gift. It was absolutely terrific, the most grainy goodness in pre-mixed pancake flour I ever enjoyed.
Anyway, where I like my pancakes to be on the thick, airy side, my wife goes for 'em "skinny." So I used the mix to go my way, while she diluted the mix with coconut milk to make her version. Both of us agreed, however you do it, Turkey Red & White Sonora make for great pancakes and a delicious morning. When they finally get their website in order, competition, look out!

Giulio Cesare Polerio (c. 1555, – c. 1610; reconstruction of places and dates by Adriano Chicco) was an Italian chess theoretician and player.

Name affixes used for him are l'Apruzzese, Giu[o]lio Cesare da Lanciano (Salvio/Walker), and Lancianese, because he was born in Lanciano, a town in the province of Chieti of the region Abruzzo of Italy. He died in Rome.

Chess playing

The first published mention of Polerio is from 1634 in Il Puttino by Alessandro Salvio. It recounts an event that must have occurred around 1575. "Il Puttino, altramente detto il Cavaliere errante" is a nickname used by Alessandro Salvio for Giovanni Leonardo. According to Salvio, Polerio accompanied Giovanni Leonardo on his way to Madrid until Genoa.

After returning to Rome around 1584, Polerio became a chess player and writer in ordinary of Giacomo Boncompagni, Duke of Sora and son of Pope Gregory XIII (born Ugo Boncompagni).

Polerio wrote a number of codexes in which a lively international chess dialogue is described involving the exchange of ideas among players in Italy, Portugal, and Spain. In these codexes, besides new ideas regarding chess openings, Polerio describes some of his own matches.

In Il Puttino, Salvio mentions that, starting in 1606 from "Città di Piazza", "Geronimo Cascio, on his way to Rome, beat Giulio Cesare (Polerio), companion of Il Puttino, the best in Rome, in the house/court of his Excellence Giacomo Boncompagni, Duke of Sora."

The Codexes of Giulio Cesare Polerio
The first systematic investigation of the Codexes of Polerio was published by Antonius van der Linde in 1874. The subject of the investigations by Van der Linde can be found at the Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana, part of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek, National Library of the Netherlands.

The current systematics of the Codexes of Polerio has been performed and published by Alessandro Sanvito in 2005.

Impact of Polerio on chess history and theory (before 1874)

The systematic organisation of overall seven Codexes, described and called A-G by Van der Linde, and attributed to Polerio in 1874, had major impact on the further description of chess history, and history of chess theory. A relevant part of the work of Van der Linde was to compare Codexes of Polerio and Gioacchino Greco even superfine. According to this investigation, most of the analytic work of Polerio was mediated outside of Italy, up to 1874, via Gioacchino Greco. More recent work by Peter J. Monté compiling game scores from all sixteenth and seventeenth century manuscripts reveals where Greco copied Polerio and where he carried the games further.

Impact of Polerio on chess terminology (after 1874)

Polerio Defense
The Polerio defense is one of the traditional responses to the Fried Liver Attack by black, attempting to force the bishop to an inactive square or trading until the bishop is captured, thus weakening White's attack. The moves to achieve this defense are as follows:

 [e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5]* d5 5. exd5 Na5!

*Classic Fried-Liver attack

Polerio Gambit

On p. 186 of "Das Schachspiel des XVI. Jahrhunderts" van der Linde wrote in 1874:

"D. Polerio-Gambit

224

1. e2-e4 e7-e5
2. f2-f4 e5-f4:
3. Sg1-f3 g7-g5
4. Lf1-c4 g5-g4
5. 0-0! g4-f3:
6. Dd1-f3: e cosi ancor che habbia perso un pezzo resta con buonissima postura di poter uencere il gioco sapendo guidarlo à presso, il che sarebbe superfluo inogni modo se si uolesse mostrare la fine di tutti giochi, e per questo basta insino à un certo che, tanto che si conosca apartemente il uantagio del gioco, si come per la postura di dette giochi ogni giudicioso giocatore lo potrà  facilmente cognoscere.")

... in modern terms:

"Polerio Gambit: 1. e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.0-0! gxf3 6.Qxf3 +/−"

Exactly this move order was also found later even in a second Polerio Codex discovered and described by J.A. Leon in 1894.
Of note is that the position after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.0-0 gxf3 6.Qxf3 may be considered by most recent grandmasters as a forced win for White – provided that 5.0-0 would mean "free castling", i.e. bringing the White King from e1 to h1. Actually, Polerio did claim 5.0-0 gxf3 6.Qxf3 to be favourable for White although the white king of Polerio did stand, after 5.0-0, on h1 but not on g1 (i.e. castling as defined in our days).

However, in 1874, the move order 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.0-0! was already occupied by the term "Muzio Gambit". This term derives from a translation of a work of Alessandro Salvio, supposedly the third book of the reprint of 1723, by Sarrat in 1813. On page 209 Jacob Henry Sarratt (translated) and wrote:

"SALVIO states that the following Gambit was sent to him by Signor Muzio, ..."

Actually, Alessandro Salvio never stated this. Rather, in the third book of the Il Puttino he wrote that Signor Mutio d'Alessandro did see that Geronimo Cascio did play the move order (with free castling, also called "Italian method" of castling).

With p. 165, vol. 2, of the 1821 edition of A New Treatise of the Game of Chess the term Muzio Gambit was coined by Jacob Henry Sarratt. And with the latter work of Sarrat, in 1821 the modern theory of the "Muzio Gambit" with castling according modern rules started – an idea and a position already Polerio analysed in 1579/80.

Thus, Antonius van der Linde, changed the view on the historical development of the move order 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.0-0 in 1874, most notably in the last editions of the Handbuch. Thereafter, a trend can be seen to call this move order either with hyphenated terms such as Muzio–Polerio, Polerio–Muzio, or simply Polerio Gambit. Such a terminology is both in honour of Giulio Cesare Polerio and partially misleading since the major body of the theory of this opening was generated in the time span in-between 1821 and 1874. The number of games played by Adolf Anderssen, Paul Morphy, and  Wilhelm Steinitz with 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.0-0 or 5.d4 in the time span 1821–1874 was already rather high. The rules for Chess opening nomenclature, and their historical development, should be taken into account while assessing van der Linde's claim of 1874 "D. Polerio-Gambit".

"Polerio Gambits and Variations"

In 1874, Van der Linde suggested as well (p. 188) to rename the move order 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 Bg7 5.h4 h6 6.d4 d6 7.Nc3 c6 8.hxg5 hxg5 9.Rxh8 Bxh8 10.Ne5!? into "Polerio's second Gambit". This suggestion is based on the observation that "im Handbuch (1864, S.. 366, § 3)" this move order is called "das Gambit des Calabresen". This is a rather interesting observation since in the "Handbuch" in its 2nd edition as of 1852, on p. 205 it is mentioned that the move order 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 f5 can be found "at the Calabrese". That's a rather wise wording since both 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 f5 and 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5, according to Codexes of Polerio, occurred in games of "Gio. Leonardo" (games 236–238, p. 190 in van der Linde). Both Giovanni Leonardo and Gioacchino Greco were from Calabria, the first from Cutro, the second from Celico.

Russia finds Ukraine pilot guilty over journalists' killing
Nadiya Savchenko
Ukrainian politician
Donetsk (Russia) (AFP) - A Russian court on Monday began delivering the verdict in the high-profile murder trial of Ukrainian helicopter pilot Nadiya Savchenko, which Kiev and the West have slammed as a political sham.
Prosecutors are demanding a 23-year jail term for Savchenko's alleged involvement in the killing of two Russian state TV journalists in war-torn eastern Ukraine in 2014 but the EU and Washington have demanded her immediate release.
Few were in doubt that the 34-year-old combat helicopter navigator -- who says she was abducted by pro-Russian fighters before the journalists were killed and then smuggled into Russia -- will be found guilty, and Kiev has already been pushing for a prisoner swap.
The judge in the southern town of Donetsk spent some six hours reading through the details of the case but broke up the hearing for the night until Tuesday at 0700 GMT without arriving at the final verdict and sentencing.
The prosecution alleges that Savchenko acted as a "spotter" in the fatal shelling of journalists Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin in June 2014, just two months after the start of the pro-Kremlin uprising in Ukraine's industrial east.
At the time, she was serving in a volunteer pro-Kiev battalion fighting the insurgents.
Since her arrest, Savchenko has become a national hero in Ukraine and has even been elected to parliament in absentia.
Footage from the courtroom showed a relaxed-looking Savchenko chatting with her lawyers from inside the glass-fronted defendants' cage as the judge read out the ruling.
Savchenko's lawyer Mark Feigin said media had "hurried with the guilty verdict" after Russian news agencies appeared to indicate that Savchenko had been handed a definitive guilty verdict.
"It will be guilty of course, you need not doubt that, there is no doubt and there will be a long sentence," said Feigin.
- Hunger strikes -
Another of Savchenko's lawyers, Nikolai Polozov, told journalists that his client would not appeal the court's decision as she considered it "has nothing to do with justice" and would start refusing water 10 days after the verdict.
Savchenko has repeatedly gone on hunger strike to protest her trial and detention.
Ukraine and its Western allies have condemned Savchenko's case as a political show trial and see it as part of the Kremlin's broader aggression against its ex-Soviet neighbour that saw Moscow seize the Crimea peninsula and fuel a separatist insurgency in east Ukraine.
Ukraine's pro-Western President Petro Poroshenko has pledged to do "everything possible" to bring Savchenko home and mooted a prisoner swap to free her.
Kiev is holding two men it says were Russian soldiers serving in the east of the country, who could provide Poroshenko with a possible bargaining chip.
But Moscow is also thought to have at least 10 other Ukrainians behind bars -- including well-known detainees like film director Oleg Sentsov -- and the Kremlin has given little hint it is ready to play ball.
- Western pressure -
Savchenko has struck a defiant figure throughout the long months of her detention, which saw her sent to a psychiatric hospital near Moscow before being transferred close to the Ukraine border for her trial in the Russian town of Donetsk.
Usually dressed in a traditional Ukrainian blouse or pro-Kiev T-shirt, Savchenko has ridiculed the court from the defendant's cage and flashed her middle finger at the judges earlier this month as her trial ended.
Ties between Moscow and Kiev are already in tatters.
A complex political process to end the conflict in eastern Ukraine has stalled as Kiev and Moscow accuse each other of failing to live up to promises made in a peace deal signed over a year ago.
Russia has meanwhile thrust its way back to the centre of the international diplomacy with its air campaign in Syria, prompting some in Kiev to fear the West might ease the pressure over Ukraine.
A guilty verdict and harsh sentence for Savchenko could refocus Western attention, however, and Kiev is pushing for sanctions on some 40 people it says are "directly involved" in Savchenko's case.
US Secretary of State John Kerry and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier are set to fly in to Moscow on Wednesday and, while the focus for Kerry at least is likely to be Syria, Savchenko's fate looks set to be raised.

Tas drops rules for vaccinated travellers
Tasmania is removing coronavirus testing and travel registration requirements for fully vaccinated people arriving from interstate.Premier Peter Gutwein announced the change would be in place from midnight on Tuesday.
The Philippines' election commission has thrown out a petition seeking to bar the son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos from running in this year's election, one of several complaints filed to prevent his presidential bid.The petition had sought to invalidate the candidacy of Ferdinand Marcos Junior, who has emerged as a clear favourite, after accusing him of misrepresenting his eligibility because of a prior tax conviction.

Waste industry experts have called for a more collaborative approach to waste collection, and a 'London-wide' approach to waste in the capital.
In a roundtable discussion by think-tank and lobbying organisation London Councils, experts called for a collaborative approach in order to "increase the consistency of services offered across borough boundaries".
Securing the extension and strengthening of producer responsibility obligations across a number of priority waste streams and for waste authorities to be able to derive more value from the PRN system.
Attendees included London Waste and Recycling Board (LWaRB) chair James Cleverly, London Community Resource Network chief executive Matthew Thomson and Grant Thornton director Nigel Mattravers.
Communications strategy must include a realistic explanation of what happens to the materials and bodies should ensure collected materials are used to most effective purpose environmentally and economically. That's the only way to generate public support for the 'sticks' that are used.

Q: How to find average after sorting month column in python I have a challenge in front of me in python.
| Growth_rate  | Month |
| ------------ |-------|
|            0 |     1 |
|           -2 |     1 |
|          1.2 |     1 |
|          0.3 |     2 |
|         -0.1 |     2 |
|            7 |     2 |
|            9 |     3 |
|          4.1 |     3 |

Now I want to average the growth rate according to the months in a new columns. Like 1st month the avg would be -0.26 and it should look like below table.
| Growth_rate | Month | Mean  |
| ----------- | ----- | ----- |
|           0 |     1 | -0.26 |
|          -2 |     1 | -0.26 |
|         1.2 |     1 | -0.26 |
|         0.3 |     2 |   2.2 |
|        -0.1 |     2 |   2.2 |
|           7 |     2 |   2.2 |
|           9 |     3 |   6.5 |
|         4.1 |     3 |   6.5 |

This will calculate the mean growth rate and put it into mean column.
Any help would be great.

A: df.groupby(df.months).mean().reset_index().rename(columns={'Growth_Rate':'mean'}).merge(df,on='months')
Out[59]:
   months      mean  Growth_Rate
0       1 -0.266667          0.0
1       1 -0.266667         -2.0
2       1 -0.266667          1.2
3       2  2.200000         -0.3
4       2  2.200000         -0.1
5       2  2.200000          7.0
6       3  6.550000          9.0
7       3  6.550000          4.1

A: Assuming that you are using the pandas package. If your table is in a  DataFrame df
In [91]: means = df.groupby('Month').mean().reset_index()
In [92]: means.columns = ['Month', 'Mean']

Then join via merge
In [93]: pd.merge(df, means, how='outer', on='Month')
Out[93]:
   Growth_rate  Month      Mean
0          0.0      1 -0.266667
1         -2.0      1 -0.266667
2          1.2      1 -0.266667
3          0.3      2  2.400000
4         -0.1      2  2.400000
5          7.0      2  2.400000
6          9.0      3  6.550000

Airbus Settlement: Part 2 – The Paper Compliance Program
Thomas Fox - Compliance Evangelist
Last week, Airbus SE (Airbus) settled a long-standing corruption scandal by agreeing to enforcement actions in three countries; France, the United Kingdom and the US. The matter involved a massive, worldwide, long running bribery and corruption scheme, approved at the highest levels of the organization and perpetrated in multiple countries. It also became the highest amount ever assessed against an organization for international bribery and corruption, approximately $3.9 billion. Although limited to one industry, aerospace, the Airbus corruption scandal is now not only the the world's most expansive bribery scandal but also its most expensive. Over the next several blog posts I will be exploring the enforcement actions. Today, I provide background into the paper compliance program that existed at Airbus and the corporate structure that exploited it.
Airbus had a paper compliance program of the first order. Yet Airbus also had bribery and corruption baked into its business model. It had a group called the Strategy and Marketing Organization (SMO) which was tasked with carrying out international business development, and, under the policies, procedures and internal controls of Airbus, was mandated to manage third party relationships on the sales side for the company. According to the UK-DPA, it was to "ensure that BP's [business partners—the Airbus terms for 3rdparties] were independent of Airbus' customers" and was responsible for compiling and apprising applications from potential and existing BPs for the purpose of compliance risk assessment.
As a segregation of duties within the company's internal controls, the approval to enter into contracts with third parties was given to another organization, the Company Development and Selection Committee (CDSC). The CDSC's full responsibilities included (1) approving third parties and the company's contract with such entities, (2) approving international projects and (3) ensuring compliance with Airbus' policies, procedures and controls. The CDSC has some impressive senior management types on it; including Airbus' Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). Rather amazingly, (although perhaps not, given how corruption was baked into the Airbus business model), the CDSC somehow delegated its oversight responsibility back to the SMO.
The company's written compliance program to prevent bribery and corruption was robust. As far back as 2001, there were Rules relating to foreign trade, which prohibited bribery and corruption. These were updated in 2008. As noted in the UK-DPA, "In the introduction to the July 2008 policy the then CEO described the policy as featuring state of the art business ethics provisions. The same policy detailed the due diligence process to be undertaken in relation to the appointment of BPs. It noted that it was very important to be aware of 'red flags' and listed examples of the same." In 2013, the company rolled out its Business Ethics Policies and Rules, updating and enhancing the 2008 Rules.
In the Judgment approving the UK-DPA, the Court noted, "Airbus had a number of written policies governing payments and contractual relationships with third parties. These included policies applying to committees and these employees specifically aimed at ensuring that third parties were used appropriately and only after sufficient due diligence had been undertaken. For example the Business Ethics Policy and Rules set out fundamental ethical principles for all employees; detailed the due diligence process to be undertaken in relation to the appointment of BPs, noting that it was very important to be aware of 'red flags' listing examples of the same."
As noted in the US-DPA, the SMO was not created until 2008, so it is clear that the Airbus paper compliance program applied to it. Further, the SMO was tasked with managing these third parties so it was clear it was understood this was a high-risk endeavor which needed significant and robust oversight. Part of this oversight came through in the review and application of third-party BPs. This became important later as the SMO had occasions to change records to bring them into line with the Airbus compliance requirements. Moreover, there was overlap between the SMO and its oversight body, the CDSC, as several corrupt company officials identified in the US-DPA were at times on the CDSC. This is not a situation of the fox guarding the hen house; this is the situation of the fox residing in the hen house.
Regarding the CDSC, once again there was a robust paper program in place. For international projects, the CDSC had "Terms of Reference", which stipulated "that decisions taken had to ensure that the financial and legal risks associated with a third party agreement had been identified and minimised. It also was to ensure that governance of transactions was acceptable and did not generate any reputational risk." The SMO itself was tasked with an authorization process that included "due diligence before any final agreement could be reached."
As noted in the UK-DPA, in 2012, the company commissioned a review of its compliance program by some un-named firm. This un-named firm "awarded Airbus an Anti-Corruption compliance certificate for the design of its anti-bribery compliance program." It was not clear from the UK-DPA if this company actually performed any robust assessment or took Airbus' word that it did not engage in bribery and corruption. It could be that this company simply reviewed the paper compliance program or it could have been something far more subversive.
The US-DPA related that the SMO engaged directly in corrupt payments during the 2008-2014 time frame. These payments made through "fake and fraudulent contracts, fake and fraudulent invoices", fake activity reports creation of fraudulent special project, investments for non-existing projects, loans never meant to be repaid and oral contracts never formally put on the books, yet somehow payments were made on them. In early 2014, the CSDC met to review, according to the UK-DPA, "details of commitments made by SMO, which were not previously known to the CSDC."
The CSDC requested the SMO, "make revisions to its policies and procedures governing the engagement of third parties. Changes implemented during 2014 included a focus on value-for-money justifications and enhanced compliance reviews." In a September 2014 review of all third parties approved by the SMO, there was found "significant breaches of compliance policies. Corporate Audit concluded that the majority of IMD projects performed poorly and questioned whether BPs helped create viable businesses." This was even though some members of the CSDC were either involved with or aware of the wrongdoing of the SMO.
Tomorrow, I will detail the bribery schemes.

Mark Zuckerberg Spent Martin Luther King Day Building a Community Garden in Oak Cliff
| Food News |
Beth Rankin | January 16, 2017 | 4:48pm
Mark Zuckerberg spent the day building a fruit and vegetable garden in Oak Cliff.
Courtesy of Facebook
File this under Things We Didn't Expect to Happen Today: Facebook kingpin Mark Zuckerberg spent Martin Luther King Day in Oak Cliff, where he helped clear a vacant lot to build a fruit and vegetable garden.
Zuckerberg spent the afternoon with the Commit Partnership, an organization that "helps drive student achievement throughout Dallas County from cradle to career by leveraging data and collaboration to measure what matters, identify effective practices and align community resources to spread what works." Together with For Oak Cliff, an organization that seeks to provide education and opportunities for kids, Zuckerberg and Commit cleared the vacant lot to make room for a community garden.

Thanks, Zuck, but Maybe We Should Stick with T.J. on This One
We Bubble-Wrapped Snowflakes Must Ask Ourselves How Much to Wrap
"Mark was in town on an unrelated matter and was looking for an opportunity to serve, and through a friend of a friend sort of connection, he was put in touch with Taylor [Toynes, community impact associate at Commit] and invited to come out and participate," says Rob Shearer, director of communications and marketing at Commit. "Our Commit Partnership team member, Taylor Toynes, has been active in Oak Cliff his entire life, and in his spare time he runs a nonprofit called For Oak Cliff that does things like donate backpacks with school supplies to kids in August."
This morning, The Dallas Morning News noted that a high-profile tech trial could bring Zuckerberg to Dallas to testify. Zuckerberg also visited with the Dallas Police Department today. He recently announced a plan to meet and visit with people in every U.S. state this year. "After a tumultuous last year, my hope for this challenge is to get out and talk to more people about how they're living, working and thinking about the future," he writes.
As awesome as this is for Commit, For Oak Cliff and the neighborhood, it's unfortunate that Oak Cliff's status as food desert is so precarious that even Mark Zuckerberg felt compelled to do something about it.

A capsule look at the Vancouver Canucks ahead of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Canucks face the Calgary Flames in the first round, starting Wednesday at Rogers Arena.
Players to watch: Linemates and twins Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin. Daniel edged out his brother in scoring with 20 goals and 56 assists. Henrik had 18 goals and 55 assists. Radim Vrbata is a danger on the power play with 12 of his 31 goals.
Goaltender: Ryan Miller injured a knee in late February. He allowed five goals in a 6-5 win against the Oilers in his first game in more than seven weeks. Miller started 44 games, with a .911 save percentage and 2.53 goals-against average. Eddie Lack took over in Miller's absence, helping the Canucks to a playoff berth with .921 save percentage and 2.45 goals-against average. Lack was given the Game 1 start, but Desjardins said he needs both goalies ready.
Playoff history: The Canucks missed the playoffs last year, snapping a five-year postseason streak. They were swept in 2013 by the San Jose Sharks in the first round after winning the Northwest Division in a lockout-shortened season. Vancouver has made the playoffs 27 times in 44 seasons.
Championships: Vancouver made it to the Stanley Cup Final in 1982, 1994 and 2011, but didn't win any of them. The Canucks lost to the Bruins in seven games in 2011.

Turkey: US Didn't Respond to Offer to Check S-400 Anti-Aircraft Missile Systems
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu (left, pictured November 2018) said after a phone call with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that he finds "correct his statement about the removal [from Syria] of the elements that concern Turkey." (AFP photo/Nicholas Kamm)
Trend News Agency, Baku, Azerbaijan | By Rufiz Hafizoglu
The United States did not respond to Turkey's offer to establish a joint commission to check the S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said.
In his words, the U.S. must understand that Turkey is in dire need of defending its airspace. "The Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems do not pose a threat to NATO and the US," the Minister noted.
On April 11, Cavusoglu said that specialists from the U.S. and NATO could come to Turkey to make sure that the Russian S-400 air defense systems do not pose a threat to NATO. "Although the U.S. urges Turkey to abandon the purchase of Russian S-400 air defense missile systems, it does not guarantee that it will sell us Patriot air defense systems," he said .
As U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo announced earlier, the U.S. believes that Turkey will not be able to have both American F-35 fighter-bombers and Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems at the same time, as this is technically impossible. "According to Pentagon sources, is not possible to launch the F-35 in the space where the S-400 is operated," he said.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan informed Turkey may receive the S-400 missile systems earlier than scheduled. According to the President, it was expected that Turkey would receive the first supplies of S-400 missile systems in July 2019.
He noted that despite appeals from the U.S., Turkey will not abandon the purchase of the S-400. "This issue has been already resolved by Turkey," said Erdogan.

2020 Ben Hogan Classic at Fort Hood
A special thank you to our sponsor, Airpower Foundation.
After winning 15 tournaments in less than three years, Mr. Hogan left the PGA Tour and joined the Army Air Corps in 1942 to proudly serve his country. Mr. Hogan always had a warm place in his heart for the men and women who serve this nation so bravely. It is with this spirit that the Foundation designated its fourth initiative: support of the military.
In 2008, the Ben Hogan Foundation began this support of the military by pledging to Patriot Golf Day – a joint venture between the PGA of America and the USGA. Established in 2007, Patriot Golf Day is a fundraising program of the Folds of Honor Foundation and Wounded Warriors, Inc. that supports families of servicemen and women injured or killed while protecting our nation.
In 2013, the Ben Hogan Foundation, in collaboration with the leadership at Fort Hood, created the Ben Hogan Classic at Fort Hood. Our mission with the Classic is very simple: to give soldiers and their families a day off, serve them for a change, and tell them how much we appreciate all they do for us.
In 2014, we were thrilled to have PepsiCo as our Title Sponsor. We very much appreciate their support and interest in thanking our soldiers and their families. In 2015, we are proud to partner with The Miles Foundation to put forth the Ben Hogan Classic at Fort Hood. The Miles Foundation is a premier Fort Worth charity whose support of the military closely aligns with the Ben Hogan Foundation's mission.
The Ben Hogan Classic at Fort Hood occurred on Friday, March 20, 2015, and included 200 soldiers in the golf tournament, a youth clinic put on by The First Tee of Fort Worth, as well as dinner and entertainment for the soldiers and their families. Executive Director of the Ben Hogan Foundation, Robert Stennett, stated, "It was certainly our honor and indeed our privilege to support the soldiers who so proudly serve our country and provide for the freedom we enjoy each day."
See below two links featuring stories on this year's event that appeared in the Fort Hood Sentinel and Fort Hood Herald, respectively:
Annual golf classic returns for 3rd year
Attendance record set at Ben Hogan Foundation Kids Clinic
We were pleased to continue our partnership with The Miles Foundation as our Title Sponsor. On Thursday April 27th, 2017, Pat Green performed a private concert for the soldiers and their families at the Fort Hood Football Stadium. The next morning, the Fifth Annual Ben Hogan Classic at Fort Hood took place with over 200 soldiers of all ranks. We were honored to have Fort Hood Commander Lt. Gen. Paul Funk II playing in the tournament. He said, "I guarantee you there is no other country in the world that celebrates its Soldiers like this one. This organization represents all that's great about our country."

Ban the Box is an Obama administration initiative aiming to make it easier for released prisoners to find work. For many, the box is that dreaded question on a job application: have you ever been convicted of a felony? Often an employer will summarily reject a candidate based on just this answer, despite how long ago it was or how unrelated to the job at hand. The Fair Chance Business Pledge involves companies across the country who agree to save criminal history questions for later in the hiring process, as well as other policies.
The 'box' issue isn't just for employment though, it also comes up for those applying to college. A newly released booklet from the Department of Education aims to help schools figure out ways to safely open enrollment to more 'justice-involved individuals' as they've termed it. Beyond the Box focuses on the 70 million Americans who've been part of the criminal justice system.
"It is critical to ensure that gateways to higher education, such as admissions practices, do not disproportionately disadvantage justice-involved individuals who have already served their time," explains Education Secretary John B. King, Jr. Without access to educational opportunities, returning to prison is all too likely. According to a study by the National Institute of Justice, 76.6% of individuals released from the justice system were rearrested within five years, with 56.7% being arrested in the first year after their release.
The issues involved with supporting these individuals are more than educational. Housing, finances, and continuing involvement with law enforcement personnel all require knowledgeable advisors. Part of Pell grant expansion opens the program to incarcerated individuals, previously ineligible for access to federal funds for education. The state of New York is trying to fund college at ten prisons in a move to prepare inmates for productive life after they are released and to reduce rates of recidivism.
The Department of Education doesn't expect colleges and universities to accept students without regard for the well-being of their whole campus. Instead, the goal is for a holistic application, one that allows a fuller picture of a candidate than just basic information. In particular, juvenile criminal records would be considered in light of conduct in the time since.
A further concern is the well-documented racial bias of America's criminal justice system. In secondary schools as well as courts, black and Hispanic youth are convicted at a higher rate and given more severe sentences than their white peers. Colleges, working towards inclusive and diverse campuses, must recognize the myriad factors involved in a potential student's record.
Beyond the Box highlights the research and data about how the courts work and how young people are punished for their crimes. 66% of colleges and universities collect criminal justice information (CJI) for all students, and the document acknowledges both the need for such information in some circumstances and the drawbacks of background checks generally.
In a section titled "Promising Practices for Mitigating Barriers to Higher Education," CJI is considered as a snapshot—one moment in the life of a complex individual. Additional information like academic record, recommendations, personal essay, or even an interview can give schools a better idea about a candidate.
Schools can protect themselves from equal opportunity violations by carefully considering what information to request and what the purpose is for it. For example, carefully asking about convictions rather than arrests is legal; overly broad questions are not. The Department of Education reminds that the vast majority of felony convictions in college applicants are not violent in nature, rather marijuana related.
There's a lot of talk about changing the prison culture of America, especially concerning Americans of color. Part of that change must involve how inmates are treated after incarceration.

Hi there peeps! I totally forgot to set up my first post earlier for Armchair Book Expo! If you don't know what this is, I participated in 2015 and last year and had a lot of fun, but basically it's for those of us who are unable to attend the convention Book Expo America, but who still want to participate in talking about all things books with the community.
I am . . . Rayna!
I love . . . anime and manga, drawing, my husband, Christ, my friends, Kakakshi Hatake, 707, learning, and other things. Oh, and of course, books.
My least favorite . . . April Morning. So boring. I'm not into classics as much as I want to be.
My summer plans . . . My husband and I are going to Disney World the last week of August! 😀 Otherwise, just working, hanging with friends, my birthday. That's it.
My buddy . . . my hubby!
My blog/channel/social media . . . Well, if you're reading this you're on my blog, so…. But here's my Instagram, Twitter, tumblr, and YouTube channel.
The best . . . thing ever is being happy doing what you're passionate about.
Alright, now that you know me a little better, let's move onto the SERIOUS TOPIC.
So when I think of this topic, I think about many things. The prompt ranges from time management to social media exposure to ethical obligations and beyond. I think what I want to focus on is posting the content that you want to read.
When it comes to the online book community, there are many factors that go into being a book blogger: consistency, reading books (duh), reviewing, replying to comments, etc. And I think through a lot of that we can get lost and forget why we started to blog and why we wanted to talk about the books that we love.
Writing about the topics that you're passionate about when it comes to discussions rather than joining the hype train (though there's nothing wrong with that) can make the difference between a discussion that has a lot of potential and a lot of back and forth constructive commentary, to discussion that falls flat and doesn't get any feedback on. It's important to remember to state your own opinions without getting too full of yourself or of hurting others in the process.
It's a delicate balance, but when you write about the things that you actually want to talk about, whether it be book tags or hauls or reviews or whatever, by you talking about it because you actually want to talk about it will not only have an effect on the way you write your post, but on your readership as well.
Your readers will understand you more and get to know you more, and they'll also know that you're being a lot more genuine in your posts than just by going along with the mold.
Are you participating in Armchair BEA? What are some of the best book community practices you've picked up over time? Tell me all the things!
This entry was posted in Event, Fun and tagged 2017, armchair bea, bea, best, book expo america, books, community, introduction, online, practices, read, reading. Bookmark the permalink.
I had absolutely no idea Armchair BEA was a thing and I'm bummed I'm a little too busy to participate.
I completely agree with your post about content! Yes, definitely write what you're passionate about, not what others are writing about. I mean, if something someone else writes inspires you, great! Write that! But if /you/ do not enjoy what you're writing, it comes across in your post. And that just makes the reader not enjoy the post either.
Haha, it's all true! And it just turns people off from reading more.
It bums me out reading so many posts from bloggers who feel trapped in a cycle of reading books just to review them. I totally lack consistency in my blog, but at the end of the day I blog for me so I take a pretty relaxed approach to things!
That's good! I think I was in that hole before of feeling like I should read to get out reviews, but now I barely even pay attention to my blog and it's kind of nice but really weird haha!

Amazon Could Spend $4.5 Billion on Video in 2017, and It's Making TV Shows in a 'Very Different' Way Than Old Networks
Nathan McAlone
DATE : Jun 02 2017 /SOURCE : Business Insider
(Yicai Global) June 1 -- Amazon has become a major player in the TV market, spending an estimated $4.5 billion on video in 2017.
And according to Amazon's star showrunner Jill Soloway, the internet giant has a different way of making shows compared to a traditional network.
"They have a very different style than most networks," Soloway, who has created "Transparent" and "I Love Dick" for Amazon, said at the Code Conference. "And I don't really know how things work at Netflix, I'd imagine it's a little bit the same. Because they are using these disruptive technologies, they don't really have the same tradition of 'let's put a stop to things at the outline stage, at the script stage.' They don't weigh in over and over again."
In short: Amazon is pretty hands-off. Soloway said that in 10 years of developing shows for networks, she did a lot of "political rewriting" to please various people involved in the show. Then, slowly but surely, everything turned into something she didn't believe in. "Your vision kind of gets dissipated," she said. "None of it happened at Amazon."
That's not to say Soloway didn't have conversations with Amazon execs. They talked about things like broad story arcs, she said. But they weren't micromanaging a "period instead of a comma." Soloway attributed it, partially, to Amazon's ethos — its leadership principles — and how it deals with all "suppliers."
In May, Soloway signed a three-year extension of her overall deal with Amazon, according to Variety.
Global Domination
JPMorgan has estimated that Amazon will spend $4.5 billion on video in 2017. While this would still sit below Netflix's $6 billion content budget for 2017, it would mean a big step up for Amazon. For reference, HBO spent around $2 billion on programming in 2016, and while Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes said that budget would rise a bit this year, he characterized the 2017 HBO programming budget as a "couple of billion dollars" in December.
In December, Amazon took Prime Video global by launching in over 200 countries. At the same time, Amazon has beefed up its originals, paying a reported $250 million for "The Grand Tour," its blockbuster car show from the "Top Gear" team. "The Grand Tour" and "The Man in the High Castle" are Amazon's two most popular shows in most countries, Amazon Studios boss Roy Price revealed in April.
Price characterized Amazon's video focus as "the crème de la crème," its blockbuster shows. The "actual shows people are talking about," he said.
