After the Violation of an FAR
Robert Lakind, Esq. 2018 Fall
A kinder, gentler FAA? The US aviation regulator is changing its enforcement tactics.
This article is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as or relied upon as legal advice. If you have questions about a specific FAA investigation of you or your company, or about an administrative, compliance, or enforcement action, you should contact an attorney.
What happens after you violate a Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR)? There have been some changes recently in how the FAA handles the process.
Prior to 2015, the enforcement action was the FAA's primary method for dealing with violators. The agency could initiate an enforcement action, which could include a fine and either suspension or revocation of a certificate, against any FAA-certificated entity, including operators, pilots, maintenance technicians, repair stations, and equipment manufacturers.
In 2015, the FAA adopted a program known as the Compliance Philosophy. An attempt to embrace a just culture, the Compliance Philosophy is built around the idea that very few people get up in the morning thinking about how unsafe they plan on being that day. Most FAR violations are the result of honest mistakes, lack of knowledge, or lack of skill. In a just culture, people are encouraged to admit to their mistakes, and the goal is to improve safety—not to punish.
The FAA announced that it would focus on returning violators to compliance with the FARs and improving safety in the National Airspace System. Thus, the compliance action was born. If you haven't heard of it, then read on, because the FAA has changed how it deals with some FAR violations.
Letter of Investigation
You usually first learn that the FAA believes you have violated an FAR when you receive a letter of investigation (LOI). The LOI usually ends with the following invitation to discuss the incident with the FAA: "We wish to offer you an opportunity to discuss the incident in person or submit a written statement.… Your statement should contain all pertinent facts and any mitigating circumstances.… If we do not hear from you within the specified time, we will process this matter without the benefit of your statement."
Your first inclination may be to immediately respond to the LOI, but first, take a moment. Consider whether a response is appropriate and what that response should be. There is no obligation to respond to an LOI—the FAA will neither penalize nor reward you for responding. Furthermore, any statements you make in your response can be used against you. In fact, there are cases where the response to an LOI helped the FAA prove its charges. Because the decision of whether to respond to an LOI and what to say depends on the particular facts of your case, talk with your attorney before responding to an LOI.
An FAA investigation commenced by an LOI can end in one of four ways:
No violation found
Administrative action
Compliance action.
Of course, the best outcome of an investigation is the FAA finding no violation. Another option is the route of an administrative action. This does not result in a violation against you, but typically the FAA will issue a warning notice (that stays on your record for two years) or a letter of corrective action for you to take.
The penalties of an enforcement action come in two types. The FAA can issue a notice of proposed certificate action, which either proposes to suspend or revoke your certificate. It can also issue a notice of proposed civil penalty, which proposes a fine.
If you receive either of these notices during an enforcement action, you can submit any evidence favorable to you and request what is known as an informal conference with the FAA. Bring your legal counsel. At the informal conference, the FAA will hear the information you want to present and consider whether this information should affect the proposed action.
As stated by the FAA in its Enforcement Manual: "The FAA does not use the informal conference to gather additional evidence or admissions to prove the charges in the enforcement action. The FAA, however, may use any information revealed by the apparent violator for impeachment purposes if the apparent violator makes a contrary statement about a material fact later in the proceeding." Thus, when speaking with the FAA, speak carefully, as misstatements can be used against you.
If you are unsuccessful at having all charges withdrawn at the informal conference, then the FAA will issue an order that suspends or revokes your certificate and/or results in a fine. An FAA order suspending or revoking a certificate can be appealed first to the National Transportation Safety Board and then to the federal courts. An FAA order that fines an operator is generally appealed to the Department of Transportation and then also to the federal courts.
Compliance Action
The FAA's fourth method for dealing with violations of the FARs is the compliance action, which is relatively new. The FAA refers to a compliance action as a nonenforcement method because, if you are offered a compliance action and meet its requirements, then you avoid a violation, which is clearly to your benefit.
Whether to offer a compliance action to a suspected violator, as opposed to pursuing an enforcement action, remains within the discretion of the FAA. However, there are some things that you can do to tilt the odds in your favor. First and most important, compliance actions are only available if the FAA determines that you have not willfully violated the FARs. The FAA says it will have "zero tolerance for intentional or reckless behavior," and these cases will still be subject to enforcement actions.
The next test you must meet is to be "able and willing" to cooperate with the compliance action. The compliance action is designed to set up an honest and transparent dialogue between you and the FAA about what you did, what went wrong, why it went wrong, and how you will avoid similar situations.
The FAA uses that information to develop corrective measures to return you to compliance. If you complete these measures, you should avoid a violation. The goal, after all, is not to punish you but to return you to compliance with the FARs.
Generally, a compliance action ends with the completion of retraining or counseling, as opposed to a fine or suspension. You must be willing and able to comply with all the terms of the compliance action, including paying all training costs.
Another factor that could increase your chances of receiving a compliance action is having an effective safety management system (SMS) program. Why? This means you have a vibrant safety culture, where you and your colleagues actively work to identify safety hazards, engage in risk analysis and mitigation, and fine-tune your efforts based on results. Notice, I said an effective SMS program; the dusty manual on your shelf doesn't count.
According to the FAA, under its Compliance Philosophy, it "will encourage a more proactive approach by airports, airmen, and organizations to disclose and develop measures that identify safety risk, prevent deviations, and ensure corrective actions are taken when deviations exist." If you operate under an SMS, then the Compliance Philosophy's focus on open communication, hazard identification and mitigation, and training should sound familiar.
The FAA has made clear that your retention of an attorney does not prevent you from obtaining a compliance action. Further, an initial refusal to respond to an LOI does not prevent you from obtaining a compliance action. However, once a compliance action has commenced, then you must voluntarily share information with the FAA.
Further, once you agree to enter into a compliance action, you must make a strong effort to remain in the program. If you are removed from a compliance action—maybe you never got around to completing your remedial training—the required disclosures you made as part of the compliance action can be used against you in an enforcement action.
Another balancing act that you and your counsel must undertake is this: if the FAA has not yet offered a compliance action, should you request one? While that answer will depend on your specific circumstances, I can tell you this: if you decide to request a compliance action, you must do so in such a way as to ensure that you are not admitting to certain things before you know you have the protection of a compliance action. If you are being investigated by the FAA and you wish to receive a compliance action, and one has not yet been offered, discuss with your attorney the best way to present the request to the FAA.
Embracing a Just Culture
The Compliance Philosophy should be viewed as a benefit for all of us who are certificated by the FAA. The FAA is clear that it will launch enforcement actions against those who are reckless or who do not want to comply with the FARs. And that's as it should be—we need our regulator to keep us safe from those guys.
However, for those of us who make an honest mistake, have a temporary lapse of judgment, or let our skills get rusty, the alternative of a compliance action is a welcome change from an FAA that has embraced a just culture.
Roy Simmons: A Life in Helicopters
Marty Pociask 2018 Fall
With his humble beginnings in the small farming area of Parkrose, Oregon, Roy Simmons never dreamed that he would have a distinguished career in aviation.
A past chairman of Helicopter Association International (HAI) and past president of Columbia Helicopters, Simmons has received many accolades over the years, including HAI's Distinguished Achievement Award in 1999. With more than 5,000 hours of total flight time between his military and civilian service, Simmons has held FAA commercial pilot, rotorcraft, single-engine land, instrument, and instructor ratings, in addition to type ratings in Boeing Vertol 107-II, Sikorsky S-61, and Sikorsky S-58 helicopters.
Simmons was born May 22, 1936, in Portland, Oregon. The country was still recovering from the Great Depression and times were tough. "My parents owned an acre of land, and I recall we always had a big garden," says Simmons. "During World War II, my parents loaned out some of the land to local families to grow victory gardens. They saved a little money during the recovery and built a house."
Sadly, Simmons's father passed away when he was only 11. His mother worked hard to support her son, working as a bookkeeper for several companies before becoming a registered nurse.
During his senior year of high school, his mother lost her job. Because Simmons had enough credits to graduate, he took a job in a lead fishing-sinker factory, attending school in the mornings and working in the afternoon and on Saturdays.
Simmons attended Portland State College from 1954 to 1956, majoring in business and technology with a minor in accounting. "While attending college, I worked part-time during the summer months for Warren Northwest Paving Company, driving pickup trucks and trailers," he says.
After college, Simmons's attention turned to aviation. From 1957 to 1958, he attended naval flight school as a cadet in Pensacola, Florida, where he received fixed-wing and helicopter training. Simmons then served in the US Marine Corps from 1958 to 1963, leaving active duty with the rank of captain.
Simmons flew both helicopters and airplanes in various squadrons in the United States, overseas in Japan, and aboard carriers in the South Pacific. "My overseas tour of duty was spent in Okinawa," Simmons says. "It was an interesting assignment, as I was assigned to a marine observation squadron, flying both helicopters (the HOK-1 [later designated as the OH-43D]) and fixed-wing (the Cessna OE-1 [later designated the O-1B]). We were the only marine aviation unit on the island supporting a marine division. Our mission was flying search and rescue with the helicopters and using the airplanes for flying aerial observers and forward air controllers.
"I also spent several months during my 15-month overseas tour of duty on an aircraft carrier. I attended Embarkation Officers School, where I learned how to load vehicles, supplies, and aircraft onto navy ships. I was in charge of several shipboard movements during my overseas assignment. In early 1960, I was reassigned to another marine observation squadron at Camp Pendleton, California, helping to train pilots for their upcoming tours of duty overseas."
Simmons spent the last two years of his active duty at the Marine Corps Air Facility in Santa Ana, California, flying the Sikorsky HR2S-1 (later designated as the CH-347). "At the time, the HR2S was the largest helicopter in the free world," says Simmons. "It had two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engines and could carry about 32 troops or several jeeps internally. It had clamshell doors in the nose with a hydraulic ramp for loading vehicles. It was a great instrument helicopter and very stable to fly under instrument conditions.
"However, I was always up on my emergency procedures, as most every flight was an emergency in the making. I spent several nights in the Okefenokee swamps of Florida; made an emergency landing in the desert near Tucson, Arizona; and made a single-engine night GCA [ground-controlled approach] into Fort Ord, California, with 28 troops in the belly. After those incidents, I decided I had all the fun I could handle and asked for release from active duty in 1963."
After leaving active duty, Simmons was a member of the US Marine Corps Reserve from 1963 to 1969, drilling in Seattle, Washington. After having attained the rank of major, he left the reserves when the demands of his civilian job became too pressing and included extensive travel time.
Building an Aviation Pipeline
Jenna Scafuri 2018 Fall
A Florida high school's solution: a four-year maintenance program for students
With the aviation industry in the grip of a shortage of both pilots and maintenance technicians, officials at Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS) in Sanford, Florida, are preparing students for these in-demand jobs.
The Aviation Maintenance Academy offers SCPS students a chance to learn about aviation before leaving high school. While the academy focuses on fixed-wing aviation, it could serve as a model for the helicopter industry. ROTOR spoke to Jason Wysong, executive director of Education Pathways and Strategic Partnerships for SCPS, for insight on the program.
Why start the academy?
Wysong: The Orlando-Sanford International Airport (KSFB) is an important pillar of the Seminole County economy. In June 2017, meetings with leaders from the airport authority and its anchor business partners clearly established a local need to improve the talent pipeline into the aviation industry.
As a gauge of student and community interest in aviation, the stakeholders partnered to host Aviation Day at the airport on December 9, 2017. The goal for this event was to expose students and parents to different career pathways available within the aviation industry. The event was open to SCPS students and families in grades 4–12, and estimated attendance was more than 2,500. Due to overwhelmingly positive feedback, the steering committee is planning for future annual events.
After nearly three years of research, construction, and procurement, the Aviation Maintenance Academy at Seminole High School began in August 2018 as one of four programs in the school's new Career Education Building. The high school is located just 4 miles from the airport, so departing and arriving aircraft are regularly visible in the skies above the campus.
Military Pilot Makes Career Move to Civilian AMT
Allison McKay 2018 Fall
Doug Sena's experience and passion are what made him stand out as an applicant for Helicopter Foundation International's (HFI) 2018 Bill Sanderson Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Scholarship. This scholarship is offered by HAI's Technical Committee to promote the choice of helicopter maintenance as a career. Each AMT scholarship winner gets the opportunity to attend a course in helicopter airframe or engine maintenance offered by manufacturers.
After joining the US Army in May 1985, Sena attended flight school and then the UH-60 Black Hawk transition course in 1986. He was assigned to both the 5th Squadron, 17th US Cavalry Regiment and the 1st Battalion, 3rd Aviation Regiment. Once he left active service in 1991, he entered the corporate world, becoming a senior scientist working for a Fortune 500 company developing packaging materials.

How Problems Get Solved
Jim Wisecup 2018 Fall
In 1914, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the United States, said to the National Press Club, "I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow." In our industry, we should all take this sentiment to heart. Whether you need to borrow some brains or you are willing to share your experience and perspectives to help others, step forward and get involved.
At one point in my career, I was fortunate enough to be in on the ground floor of the introduction of night-vision goggles into US civil aviation. Some of the bright and dedicated individuals who worked to make this happen were Dutch Fridd of Rocky Mountain Helicopters, supported by Russ Spray, our CEO, and Karl Poulsen, VP of Aviation Services; Grant Pearsol, Lynn Higgins, and Lew Olson of the FAA's Salt Lake City Flight Standards District Office; and Mike Atwood of Aviation Specialties Unlimited. My thanks to them and all the individuals who measurably advanced the level of safety in the helicopter air ambulance sector.
Progress in aviation can sometimes be slow. It takes years to get an aircraft certified or a rule changed. Some issues we have in our industry, like the shortage of pilots and mechanics, didn't arrive in one day—and it will take more than one day to solve them. Still, when I see what people around the industry are achieving, I am encouraged about our future.
On September 7, 2018, I had the privilege of attending a safety symposium hosted by the Rotary Wing Society of India (RWSI). It was a great event, with representation from all branches of the Indian military and from virtually every civil operator, manufacturer, and industry stakeholder from neighboring countries.
The RWSI is an all-volunteer group headed by Air Vice Marshal K. Sridharan that was formed 20 years ago to promote the safe and efficient use of helicopters in India and surrounding areas. The scope of their work is amazing as they tackle every topic related to the improvement of Indian helicopter operations.
On September 29, HAI cohosted a regional safety conference with the Professional Helicopter Pilots Association (PHPA) in Van Nuys, California. The PHPA is another all-volunteer group of aviation professionals dedicated to the safe and efficient operation of helicopters, this time in Southern California. I have had the pleasure of working with Morrie Zager, PHPA president, and some PHPA members on the issue of helicopter noise in the Los Angeles Basin. The L.A. Area Helicopter Operators Association (LAAHOA), headed by Chuck Street, is another volunteer industry group that is active in Southern California.
PHPA and LAAHOA have been instrumental in finding solutions for noise-sensitive areas around the L.A. Basin, working with representatives from the FAA's Western-Pacific Regional Office, Robinson Helicopter, local homeowners, and individual pilots. Without their efforts, helicopter operations in the region could become very limited or go away altogether.
Time and again in my career, I've seen how individuals can work together for the benefit of all. It's a reminder that our united efforts can make a difference.
I would encourage all in our industry, regardless of your position, to become involved with groups like these. To paraphrase Wilson: get out there and borrow those brains.
There is so much talent out there, and as aviation professionals, we all have a license to learn. So many are willing to share their knowledge and abilities to improve our industry. Join them!

Sycuan 'tops off' hotel expansion
On May 22, Sycuan Casino hosted a "Topping Off Celebration" and placed the final beam on its new hotel tower.
During the celebration, chairman Cody Martinez and general manager John Dinius acknowledged the hard work of the team and gave the latest project milestones before raising the final beam into place. The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation Tribal Council, Sycuan Casino executive team and Swinerton project management team were all in attendance for the event.
"Without the support of our people, we would have never been able to get this project off the ground," Martinez said. "I want to thank the members of our Tribal Council, the casino executive team, Swinerton and everyone that is here bringing together the vision that is going to take Sycuan to the next level."
Last March, Sycuan began construction on its $226 million hotel and resort expansion. The project includes a 12-story, 300-room hotel, meetings and event spaces, pool and gardens area, a lazy river and seven new restaurants
Additionally, the expansion project has created over 700 new casino and resort jobs. The organization is currently hiring for departmental leadership positions and will host a series of job fairs mid to late 2018.
"Seeing this project go from two-dimensional paper drawings to what we have now, is truly inspiring," Dinius said. "It's been a monumental task, but with the collaboration of every aspect of our organization, it's a very rewarding process."
The new hotel and resort is on schedule to open in March 2019.

Q: Removing meta from posts in wordpress (including posted by and icons ) Hey I'm trying to remove publisher info and time it was published from post on wordpress. I had luck with actual data. but I  also would like to remove "posted by" and "posted date" and category: .  on the home page slider posts have icons of person and a clock.
this is the full post view
and this icons show on front page post slider.

Q: Lining up columns with HTML/CSS that have buttons Here is my current HTML/CSS/JavaScript: http://jsfiddle.net/3EBVD/.
Specifically, the CSS that I'm focusing on (although I guess the problem could be elsewhere):
#linkButtons {
    display: table-cell;
    padding-left:20px;
    padding-top:0px;
    padding-bottom:10px;
    padding-right:20px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 50px;
    outline:2px solid black;
}
#defText {
    margin-right: 40px;
    display: table-cell;
    padding-right:10px;
    padding-left:0px;
    padding-top:30px;
    padding-bottom:30px;
    width: 45%;
    vertical-align: middle;
    border: 2px solid black;
}
#voteButtons {
    display: table-cell;
    padding:20px;
    padding-right:20px;
    width: 80px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    border: 2px solid black;
}

There are two boxes, the first of which is perfect and exactly what I need. The second one (the one with the buttons) is not lining up correctly and I can't figure out why.
Yes I have tried the float property which so far only screws up everything more...unless I'm doing something totally wrong.
Thanks so much!

A: Is this the way you want . I have fixed some html tags

                            <button id=upvote onclick="modify_qty(1)">&#8593</button>

                                <input id="qty" value="0" readonly>%
                                <button id=comment>COM</button>

                            <button id=downvote onclick="modify_qty(0)">&#8595</button>

In this post, I will discuss Data Relationship Governance and its functionality in Data Relationship Management. Data Relationship Governance was an add-in to DRM 11.1.2.3 and has many features than can be very beneficial to DRM users.
Data Relationship Governance is a component within Oracle's Data Relationship Management. DRG is a tool that allows DRM users to easily make changes to their data hierarchies. It allows users to communicate within the DRM system, which means users can view, request, and approve data changes all in the same place. DRG has four main focal points: User Roles, Access Levels, Workflow Tasks, and Workflow Stages.
There are several DRG User Role Permissions that can be assigned to DRM users. The permission with the most freedom is the "Workflow Participant". This permission allows users to Request and/or Approve changes to the data hierarchies. The next level down in the DRG permissions is "Browse Versions", which allows DRM users to navigate through different versions within the DRM system, but doesn't allow them to request and/or approve changes to the data structures. Finally, there are three more permission levels: "Browse Hierarchies", "Browse Categories", and "Browse Properties". These three permissions are the lowest level of permissions and there names describe what the user is able to navigate through.
In Data Relationship Governance, there are six different Access Levels that users can be given. All of these access levels build on each other, so, for example, level 3 includes all of the access rights that level 1 and 2 have. Level 6 has all of the access rights that levels 1 through 5 have. The six Access Levels in DRG are: Read, Limited Insert, Edit, Insert, Inactivate, and Add. Read access only allows users to view the data. Any user with this Access Level cannot make any changes. Limited Insert is allowed to insert a node, but only if that node has Global Properties. The Edit access level allows users to modify property values. The Insert access level grants users the ability to insert, move, and remove nodes. Inactivate allows users to deactivate and reactivate nodes. Lastly, the Add access level allows users to do all of the previous tasks, plus add or delete nodes.
Workflow Tasks are made up of an action type, properties that need to be reviewed, and validations. There are eight different Action Types a Workflow Task can use: Add Leaf, Add Limb, Delete, Inactivate, Insert, Move, Remove, and Update. These Action Types are self-explanatory and they are named for exactly the action that they perform. Workflow Tasks must be created in the Administer tab within DRM before any user can Request and/or Approve any data changes.
The last component of Data Relationship Governance are the Workflow Stages. There are four stages in total, but only three of them are required. The Workflow stages include: Submit, Enrich, Approve, and Commit. The Submit stage is where the requests for any sort of data change take place. All of the Action Types are associated with this stage except for the Update action. The Enrich stage is used to update requests that have already been submitted. This is the stage that is not always necessary to be included, and includes the Update, Insert, and Move Action Types. The third stage is the Approve stage, which is where all requests are viewed and managed. The Update Action Type is also a part of this Workflow Stage, which is why the Enrich Workflow Stage does not always need to be included. Finally, the Commit stage is where requests are approved or rejected. Only a user with the access to approve a request may view the Commit stage.
These four components of Data Relationship Governance, User Roles, Access Levels, Workflow Tasks, and Workflow Stages, are what make DRG so useful in DRM. As previously mentioned, DRG serves as a central hub for requesting and approving/rejecting changes to data structures. By setting up the User Roles and Access Levels, management does not have to spend as much time dealing with the requests and can outsource the approval process to other employees.
There is a quick and simple way to apply global folder permission for Financial Reporting folders.
Scenario #1: Pretend your client would like to calculate inventory for the current quarter and month. For instance, if the current month is August, the quarter total includes values for July and August.
How is this calculated in Essbase? Essbase allows users to calculate period to date values dynamically, using dynamic time series. This is not a member stored in the outline, however it is a member that in enabled and associated with a generation. Typically, common time series members include YTD, QTD and MTD. Others include DTD, HTD, PTD, STD, WTD.
Scenario #2: You need to calculate quarter to date values for your client.
You must have a dimension that is tagged as "time" in order to use a dynamic time series member. Only one dimension can be tagged as "time." Essbase will now create a dynamic time series member called QTD and it will be associated with generation 2. This member will calculate values up to the current month in the quarter.
2. Right click on the member of your choice and click dynamic time series. In this case, I chose Qtr1 from my Period dimension.
As you can see, my dimension is tagged as time. As aforementioned, you can only apply dynamic time series to dimensions tagged as time.
3. Next, enable, assign a generation and alias name and click OK.
You have now successfully created a dynamic time series member.
3. Click on the outline icon on the left and select "Dynamic Time Series." You should now see the dynamic time series member you assigned in your outline previously. For now, I am just working with one member.
5. Select your time period and click OK. Click OK again once you see the member on the right. You should now see your dynamic time series member in your ad-hoc grid.
In FDMEE, you can have multiple separate locations set up that can share mapping across all locations.
During the setup of the location, you must identify the parent location. What this means is that parent location will drive all mappings that are tied to that parent location.
When identifying the parent location, it will share that locations mapping to this new location. Any changes to mappings at that parent location will be passed along to any locations that utilize it as their parent location.
This is a streamlined way to manage mappings that can be potentially shared across multiple locations.
An easy way to distribute reports to various users outside of running individual reports or books and then emailing it out to users is by creating a batch and burst to a shared directory.
A batch can run various reports on multiple members in a dimension, adding the bursting capability you can send the report out to various users.
In order to burst a report to a shared directory, the Financial Reporting Config file needs to be updated to reach out to the shared directory. The Financial Reporting Config file is located on the server where Financial Reporting is installed.
Note: When adding a new location, a Check Entity Group must be created.
The image below displays an example of an Import Format with a comma delimited structure.
Note: Multiple source columns of the same dimension is acceptable. For instance, there can be three Account source columns.
-Fill=EurotoUS: Used with the Amount field to trigger a number format conversion from ., to ,.
The Script Editor in FDMEE uses scripts written in Jython to assist files during import processes. FDMEE supports three types of scripts: Event, Import and Custom scripts.
Event scripts are executed when a particular event runs. For instance, to execute a script before any import, choose the BefImport event script.
1. Navigate to Script Editor (Setup) under Scripts.
2. Specify the Target Application and Technology- Jython.
3. Select Event > BefImport.
This following script has been applied to remove apostrophes from data files.
Import scripts are created when Import Formats are defined.
The following script has been applied to successfully load Plan-Periodic files.
Updates to metadata in Data Relationship Governance (DRG) are made through workflows. Workflows contain two required stages and two optional stages. The two required stages are 'Submit' and 'Commit', while the two optional stages are 'Enrich' and 'Approve'. The two required stages in a DRG workflow ensure that any update made to the metadata meets the established requirements, of which there are numerous possibilities. The two optional stages in Data Relationship Governance are supplementary to the 'Submit' and 'Commit' stages in securing metadata, but are not necessary. The 'Enrich' stage is used to update an already existing workflow and the 'Approve' stage acts as a pre-approval stage to the 'Commit' stage.
In order to secure the metadata, there are a few options to limit the updates that can be made. Security can be established to grant access to only the users that need permission to make the updates. Restrictions can be put in place to limit who can make updates to the metadata. These restrictions can also determine which users can see which metadata. For example, an organization may have a manager, approver, and/or requestor roles.
The manager could be assigned a 'Data Manager' user-role, which grants full access. They would be able to see all of the metadata, see which changes are made, and have the authority to approve or reject any of the updates. The manager also has auditing capabilities. They could see any request that is made and see which decision the approver made.
An approver could be given the 'Governance User' user-role. This role would allow the approver to approve or reject updates made to the metadata. The requestor could be assigned the 'Workflow User' user-role, which allows them to create a request and submit that request for approval. However, that is all that the requestor is allowed to do.
Another way to secure metadata is through validations. Validations establish a security check system. They can be assigned to different stages of the workflow and force the user making the request to pass the validation before the request can move on to the next stage of the workflow. Through validations, managers and upper-level users can be certain that updates made or that have been made to the metadata have passed the minimum set of requirements that the organization has established. Validations can range from anything like checking the number of characters a node name has in a request, to making sure that the request falls under a specific hierarchy within the metadata.
There are three main tools in Data Relationship Governance that can be used to enhance metadata auditing capabilities. The purpose of these tools is to monitor and track metadata changes to let users know exactly what has taken place within the application. These tools are located within the workflow model setup page and can be adjusted at any time. In order to adjust any of the following tools, open up the 'Administer' tab on the left-hand side of the screen, right-click on the workflow model that you want to update, and click 'Edit'.
The first of these tools is the 'Request Duration' option. This tool allows a user to set a date of when the request needs to be approved or rejected. If a certain amount of days go by, and the request has not been evaluated, it becomes 'Overdue'.
The second tool is the 'Claim Duration' option. The 'Claim Duration' tool works in the same way as 'Request Duration', except a request becomes open for anyone to claim after the determined number of days have passed. A manager with the Data Manager user-role would be able to see that the request has gone into the 'Overdue' state or that the request is 'Unclaimed' and could take the necessary action to resolve the issue.
The third auditing tool offered in Data Relationship Governance is the 'Notify' option. This tool sends out alerts when requests move to certain stages to whoever is set up to receive the notifications. The 'Notify' option can be set up for the assignees, the participants, or both. This feature also allows upper-level management to be kept in the loop and know the status of every request.
There are many different ways metadata can be secured and monitored through a combination of security, validations, and auditing tools within Data Relationship Governance. The user roles control who can see and/or do what in DRG, while validations act as requirements that must be met in order to carry out an update. By creating different levels of security and adding one or more validations to each stage of the workflow, Data Relationship Governance can guarantee that the metadata is safe and secure. Management can also supervise the workflow processes with the use of the auditing tools, allowing them to take more of a back-seat approach, but also keep their foot in the door.


It is a budgerigar, or budgie for short. Native to Austrailia, it is probably someone's pet who has escaped. Here are a couple links to help you know how to care for it.
The bird is so tame, I bet the owners are looking for him. Do you have places where people might post signs looking for lost pets?
I had 1 that learned how to talk English from my larger parrot. The budgie would say about 20 words strung together as if they were just 1 word. It was so funny. 1 day Lola was flying around the dining room when my husband came in from outside in the next room. Lola took all of 1 second to fly to the next room and out the door before he could close it. Gone. She must have had her get away plan for months just waiting for her chance.

Get Back: Treble's Reunion Wishlist
By: Jeff Terich
Last September, Pavement monopolized headlines by announcing, for real this time, that they were reuniting. In the past, this kind of news might have sounded too good to be true, especially when one considers the number of Pavement reunion rumors that have circulated for years leading up to the real thing. But for the past five years, long-separated bandmates have been reuniting with more frequency, from The Pixies to Gang of Four, Sunny Day Real Estate, Shudder to Think and Faith No More. And in June, Matador Records announced that Guided by Voices would return to headline the label's 21st Anniversary Party in Las Vegas in October.
So this got us thinking. If GBV, Pavement, Sunny Day, Faith No More and countless other bands have put aside differences or sorted out the logistics to make a reunion happen, certainly there are plenty of others who we would like to do the same, but for some reason or another, have not. We've made a list of 13 bands that haven't gotten back together just yet, but we'd love to see play again. And we'd like to emphasize that while there's a strong possibility that a couple of these may become reality, by and large, most of these are only more realistic than a Smiths reunion. Still, a fanboy (or girl) can dream.
At the Drive-In: I had tickets to see At the Drive-In in San Diego in 2001, and a month before they were supposed to play the show, they announced their "indefinite hiatus." I'm still pretty frustrated about that. However, the backstory is that the band was become increasingly exhausted, mentally and physically. Plus Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez wanted to take their music in a different direction, as they did with The Mars Volta. And as it turned out, I got to see them open for The Anniversary a year later. It wasn't the same, though, to be fair, I didn't have a point of comparison as far as the live show went. However, last year Bixler-Zavala said in a couple of interviews that he and his ex-bandmates were talking again and on good terms. And this fall marks the tenth anniversary of Relationship of Command. So there's that…
Likelihood: Medium. The group is on good terms again as individuals, though in a second interview, Bixler-Zavala also expressed some reservations about playing 15-year-old songs.
Botch: I never actually got the chance to see Botch while they were around, and in all honesty, I hadn't quite developed my taste for their jerky, complex metalcore until they had long since split. Interestingly enough, a friend of mine caught them opening for Murder City Devils and described them as a "really bad hardcore band." (D'oh!) Obviously, we would have differing opinions on that matter. Nonetheless, Botch was a badass band, and with We Are the Romans now 10 years old, right now could be a good time to play some more shows. You know, for old time's sake.
Likelihood: We'll defer to their MySpace page's response: "Zero, zilch, nada. However, we do appreciate everyone's continuing interest in the band. Thanks" Okay then!
Company Flow: Company Flow released only one album (not counting its instrumental follow-up), 1997′s Funcrusher Plus. But if they could only put out one album during their life as a group, that was a hell of an album to release. It's largely considered one of the most influential hip-hop albums of all time, and for that matter, one of the best. Just last year, Def Jux reissued the album, thereby making it available commercially again and thereby injecting some renewed publicity for it. So, the inevitable question would be whether Mr. Len, Bigg Jus and El-P planned to either tour again or record something new.
Likelihood: Reasonably high. The group did reunite for a one-off show in 2007, and Bigg Jus said in 2006 he was working on Company Flow material. With a few years passing in the meantime, maybe that's fizzled, but considering it already happened for one show, a few more doesn't seem that much of a stretch.
The Dismemberment Plan: I'm not exaggerating when I say that seeing The Dismemberment Plan is the most fun I've ever had at a concert. On top of merely playing good music, they had a party vibe and a good humor that a lot of other bands in their day didn't. And even on their off nights, they rocked harder than most. But in 2003, they called it a day, after having released four excellent albums and playing countless shows. Travis Morrison released two solo albums and Eric Axelson played with Maritime on two albums. And since then, most of the members have been relatively quiet of late. However, they did play two benefit shows for Callum Robbins, son of Jawbox's J. Robbins, in 2007.
Likelihood: Low. Morrison said that they would probably only reunite "to drink beer." However, Eric Axelson and Joe Easley are still playing together in Statehood. The 10th anniversary of Change is next year though. In case they change their minds…
Drive Like Jehu: Drive Like Jehu, for all intents and purposes, broke up about 15 years ago, and around one year after releasing their outstanding Yank Crime. Just one of more than a half-dozen bands that San Diego icon John Reis has played in, Drive Like Jehu stands alongside Rocket From the Crypt and Hot Snakes as his best known project and most highly acclaimed. Rick Froberg, frontman for the band, also fronted Hot Snakes, despite having moved to New York a long time ago, which suggests that distance probably wouldn't be as much of a concern as one might imagine. Still, bassist Mike Kennedy left music long ago to become a chemist, and drummer Mark Trombino has had a successful career as a producer and engineer. As a San Diego native, I'm a little bummed I never got to see this band play their furious post-hardcore live, so were they to consider giving it another go, I'd be first in line (figuratively speaking).
Likelihood: Pretty low. Reis is busy with The Night Marchers and Froberg is fronting Obits (who are, incidentally, playing shows together these days). And Kennedy seems to have retired from music, more or less. But then again, Three Mile Pilot reunited recently, as have No Knife for a series of shows, so it's possible, if not entirely probable.
Fugazi: As one of the most legendary bands of all time, not just in punk rock but all of rock 'n' roll in general, Fugazi partly earned that reputation through accessibility. Their shows were cheap, their records were cheap, and they didn't act like rock stars. And in their 15 years together, they played more than 1,000 shows, which is a hell of a lot. But in 2002, they started a hiatus, which has continued to this day. And they still call it a "hiatus," even though there's no immediate or even distant plans to record or tour together. All of the band's members are, however, still good friends and occasionally work together on projects here and there. Since The Argument, though, Fugazi as a band has been missing in action.
Likelihood: According to interviews with Ian Mackaye, "I have no idea." Maybe when the right time comes along. He also said that he'd love to play music with Fugazi again if the opportunity arose, so there's reason to be optimistic.
Jawbox: Jawbox broke up in the late '90s, on the same day as Soundgarden, as my brother recently pointed out to me. So it's been a long time since the Washington, D.C., foursome has played their taut, sinewy post-hardcore in front of an audience. Since then, J. Robbins and Bill Barbot were in Burning Airlines, Kim Coletta continued to run deSoto Records and Zachary Barocas moved to New York and played in a few bands, in addition to running a literary journal. However, in 2007, Robbins' son Callum was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, an incurable nerve disorder which would require constant attention, rendering further full-time musical commitments much less practical. However, he and his wife Janet have still been writing and recording music, so they haven't stopped, but it's on a much smaller scale. However, last year, Dischord reissued their landmark album For Your Own Special Sweetheart, which landed the band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, their first performance together in more than a decade.
Likelihood: Medium-low. They did play together on television, which means it already technically happened. But as for playing a series of other shows? Not terribly likely. Robbins has expressed that it would be difficult to work out logistically, which does complicate matters. Still, a TV appearance isn't a bad start.
Neutral Milk Hotel: Dormant, broken up or "on hiatus" for more than 10 years, Neutral Milk Hotel has been an indie rock white whale for just as long. Essentially the project of frontman Jeff Mangum, with a full-band lineup consisting of Mangum, Julian Koster, Scott Spillane and Jeremy Barnes, the band's absence has primarily been due to its enigmatic frontman's reluctance to return to fronting the band. He has occasionally performed with other Elephant 6 projects, though none all that recently, while the other three members of the band have kept busy with other projects, such as Music Tapes and A Hawk and a Hacksaw. And while Mangum never said, with certainty, that a Neutral Milk Hotel project will never happen ever again, it's pretty unlikely at this point. In fact, Tiny Mix Tapes once played an April Fool's joke on its readers by announcing Neutral Milk Hotel would be headlining a show it was putting on. And another prankster posted on the group's website that they would be releasing a new album. And interestingly enough, a variety of music news outlets actually reported it before it was discredited by Apples In Stereo frontman Robert Schneider.
Likelihood: Low. But with Mangum keeping such a low profile, there's not much information to go on.
Refused: Refused's 1998 album The Shape of Punk to Come is the sound of perfection. No hardcore album really can come close to it. And none have, at least not while remaining all that close in sound. However, the Swedish group disbanded the same year it was released, following a final show that was broken up by police. Now that Epitaph has reissued the album with extra live tracks and a bonus DVD, seems like a prime opportunity for the incendiary outfit to get back together and make some noise again, eh?
Likelihood: Somewhat high. The reissue does present a prime opportunity for a tour or two. And PunkNews said an anonymous source confirmed a reunion. We don't know how reputable the source is, but consider us interested either way.
Sleater-Kinney: Following their mind-blowing seventh album The Woods, Sleater-Kinney dropped the most loathed of rock band bombs: the "indefinite hiatus." All things considered though, it was a healthy breakup. Corin Tucker put a priority on her family, which is perfectly understandable. Raising kids is hard enough when you're not on tour. But Tucker, Janet Weiss and Carrie Brownstein, in spite of some of the disappointment of having to put aside a band of more than ten years, kept on good terms. And Weiss and Brownstein even announced the possibility of starting another band together (which would make it Weiss' fourth, along with Quasi and Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks). Yet earlier this year Brownstein said that they might actually play together again, and perhaps even record another album "sometime in the next five years." It's still hypothetical, but a good sign nonetheless.
Likelihood: Pretty high. For now, Tucker is releasing a solo album, and Weiss has kept busy with Quasi. But there's a strong possibility we haven't seen the last of this awesome trio.
Talk Talk: Talk Talk's Laughing Stock, released in 1991 just before the band officially ended, is considered one of the most innovative albums ever recorded, and for good reason. It's absolutely gorgeous. It's sonic bliss. And very little sounds like it, though it clearly played a big influence on a lot that came afterward. It's even credited with being the birth of post-rock. But the band's been broken up for nearly two decades. Paul Webb and Lee Harris did continue to record together as .O.Rang, Webb, as Rustin Man, collaborated with Beth Gibbons in 2002, and Harris contributed to Bark Psychosis' //Codename: Dustsucker in 2004. Mark Hollis, meanwhile, has retired from music completely, which has fascinated and perplexed music journalists for some time now.
Likelihood: Next to none. Hollis has kept out of music for a pretty long time now, so there's little to say what, if anything, would change his mind. Sly Stone eventually came out of hiding, though, so we're not saying there's no chance whatsoever. Maybe 0.01 percent.
Unwound: Unwound, like most of the bands on this list, broke up at the peak of their career. A year after releasing their highly acclaimed, and for that matter, absolutely fucking perfect Leaves Turn Inside You, they called it a day. Yet unlike, say, At the Drive-In, there was no drama surrounding the end. In fact, little explanation was given for the split. In fact, after doing some internet research, the closest I could come to finding out was via a friend of the band's on the Sonic Youth message board, who hypothesized that it was the usual exhaustion from being a band for ten years, and disinterest in playing to growing audiences. Seems plausible, though who really knows. I'm kicking myself just a little for not choosing to see them at All Tomorrow's Parties in 2002. I was given a choice between two days and opted for the day they weren't playing. However, the sacrifice meant getting the opportunity to see Big Star, which I'm very thankful for.
Likelihood: Outlook not so clear. But they did break up on April Fool's Day. Mull that over.
Whiskeytown: In retrospect, the 1990s were a hell of a time for alt-country bands. And, interestingly enough, several of them are still around. The Old 97s have kept busy, and Rhett Miller is clearly drinking from the same fountain of youth Damon Albarn is. And Wilco's more popular than ever, though the group's lineup has changed so much it's not exactly the same band. Still, Whiskeytown came and went fast, mostly due to label issues. Their third album, Pneumonia, was released two years after its completion and essentially after the band had called it quits. Prior to that, the group had gotten a reputation for having a lot of internal strife and drama. But they're a little older, a little wiser, and Ryan Adams, married and releasing metal albums, seems a lot more chill these days.
Likelihood: Medium. Ryan Adams and Caitlin Cary have performed the odd set together since the breakup, though nothing formal has ever come of it. There's not a lot to suggest it will happen, but you never know.

Q: What should the "about" say for the [security] tag? I like this new "about" statement for all tags.   It makes them more defined.  So what should it say for the [security] tag?   I just put "This tag is used for topics relating to attacks against software.",  but you might disagree.  What are your thoughts?

A: I want to say that there's more to security than just 'attacks', but then when I go through various counter-examples, it ends up being in part related to attacks.  It still has slightly the wrong emphasis, so maybe:

*

*The security tag is used for questions relating to attacks on software and how write programs to ensure that attacks are not successful.

With, maybe, a caveat that 'recovering from a successful attack is more appropriately discussed on ServerFault or SuperUser'.

A: I think that algorithm types relating to security should be mentioned.
I'm not sure what the broad categories are, maybe things like encryption (hashing, salting...),captchas?, random number generation.... Just 3 or so broad and important categories.

A: Maybe the tag info page should, as a subset, contain links to the things most likely to interest newbies and people looking for urgent help: Links to the best "So your site's been hacked" type of resources (and if most of the answers to that question are on serverfault - then link there.)


We call ourselves a boutique villa for a reason. Unlike most beach house rentals, El Fin del Mundo is a very private, gated and walled compound situated on two beautiful acres and 250 feet of Las Conchas beach frontage atop a sandy bluff overlooking the Sea of Cortez. There are no blocked views and beach access is just 35 short steps down from the veranda. El Fin del Mundo is like having your own spectacular private resort. It was designed from the beginning to provide guests with the very best accommodations, extraordinary luxury and a vacation experience to be enjoyed year after year.
Every effort has been made to ensure that your vacation experience at El Fin del Mundo is exceptional. From the moment you arrive, you will feel welcome and at home in the incomparable ambience this villa provides. El Fin del Mundo seamlessly blends form and function to create living spaces of such exquisite beauty and elegance that they are seldom ignored, always appreciated and never taken for granted.
Upon your arrival, you will be entering through a gated entrance and down a brick-paved driveway and into a spacious parking area suitable for up to six vehicles. A small courtyard with water fountain leads to the front entrance punctuated by a bleached skull of a whale that once frequented the Sea of Cortez.
To your left just before you enter is one of the four available bedrooms. The entryway itself leads into the great room where spectacular ocean views await you.
Plush, comfortable furnishings indoors and out await you. These furnishings have been chosen by the owner for his personal use as well as for his guests. Such amenities are not typical of Las Conchas beach homes.
El Fin del Mundo is a private walled and gated estate. Our security system communicates with a private alarm company and the local police. In addition, the Las Conchas community is patrolled hourly on a 24/7 schedule.
Beachfront hot and cold snail palupa covered showers await you on your return from the beach.
Robes provided for each guest.
* Please note: All (9) fireplaces at El Fin del Mundo are gas burning fireplaces only. No wood, paper or types of material are permitted in these fireplaces.

This site, as well as our experienced sales staff are available to help you select the best plants for your project. Either use the search facility on this site to find the plants required or send us your planting plan/ plant requirements. If you require we can suggest varieties, quantities and sizes that will best suit your project. Where possible please include budget, measurements and other planting.
We are happy to quote for any job, as we have no minimum order. Though due to delivery costs small orders may be subject to a carriage charge, unless you can collect. Quotes can be done over the phone, by fax, email, by post or via this site.
We aim to return all enquiries within 24 hours and will clearly list all prices, quantities, any substitutions, delivery charges, payment terms etc.
When an order is confirmed, depending on delivery requirements, we will separate the stock to ensure availability when delivered and immediately inform you of any missing or substandard plants. We will always suggest substitutions where possible.
Deliveries will be made either on our own fleet, by transport, Parcel Force (for smaller quantities in boxes) or Pallet Force.
We will always try to suit your delivery requirements whether you require delivery a certain day, morning/afternoon delivery, or have vehicle restrictions. Let us know as early as possible if you do and we will, where possible, meet your requirements.
At Beaver Plants we recognise the importance of producing plant and seed stock of strictly British Provenance and therefore have traceability of all our stock to British Provenance and often to county level for all our wild flower species.
Why should we ONLY plant British Provenance?
It helps retain the genetic integrity and variation of the British Isles. We experience an oceanic climate in the British Isles and therefore our wild flowers have quite specific adaptations to our climate versus those grown in continental Europe.
To safeguard our floral heritage we must maintain our native stock of plant material. European varieties of wild flowers can be completely different in form and habit from our native wild flowers.
Prevent hybridisation/competition from non-native stock. For example, Spanish bluebells are outcompeting our native bluebells and a hybrid form is also present, providing additional competition to our native species.
Maintain plant/pollinator interactions – our wild flowers will flower and set seed at different times to continental European varieties. The flower form of non-native stock can be so different that pollinators do not benefit from nectar sources. For example, the red clover corolla tube is too deep in non-native stock for our native bumble bees to access the nectar sources.
Developers, landscapers and gardeners have a duty of care for our environment.
British Provenance is specified by statutory consulters and ecologists in planning applications for conservation/habitat creation or development projects.
Beaver combines unrivalled expertise in native plant propagation with over 40 years' experience delivering horticultural solutions to a wide range of applications. Unlike the majority of other wildflower and native aquatic providers Beaver grows very large quantities of individual species on its two nurseries in the heart of Surrey, currently holding over 1 million plants across 250 species of stock.
We are able to assist with tenders and planting schedules by offering advice and recommendations for cost savings.
Where plant materials are from stock, in-season turnaround can be very rapid but otherwise a 'grow to order' can be placed to ensure the correct specification is delivery to your project timescale.
Large habitat restoration and development projects demand an understanding of the plant specification requirements of landscape architects which is why we offer a complete grow to order service to deliver the best quality plants to your exact specification within project timescales, alternatively we will offer good substitutions on variety or size if the project is immediate.
Plants can be ordered or reserved by email, online, over the phone, fax or post with free technical advice readily available Monday to Friday. Click here for our contact details.
There is no minimum order for landscape-ready plants and we offer free delivery for orders over £350 excluding VAT. Smaller orders that can be boxed will be sent on over-night courier. Larger orders will be palletised or delivered on CC red tagged trollies. Click here to see our current stock lists.

Iran warns Israel of consequences of 'aggression against Syria, Lebanon, Iraq'
2:58 PM | August 26, 2019
The statement comes hours after the chief of Iran's Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani, took to Twitter to say that Israeli airstrikes in Syria and the crash of two alleged Israeli drones in Lebanon "were the last struggles" of Israel.
Iranian authorities have issued an ominous warning to Israel, saying that it should understand that its recent "aggressive actions" in the region will have consequences, as Iraq, Syria and Lebanon have the right for self-defence.
"Israel must understand the consequences of its aggressive actions and that they come at a price", Iranian Government spokesman Ali Rabiei said at a Monday news conference broadcast by Iranian television.
Aistrikes on 'Iranian' Targets in Syria
The comments by Rabiei followed Israel's confirmation on Sunday that it had conducted airstrikes on what it described as "Iranian Quds Force operatives and Shiite militia targets" in Syria to foil a professed attack by multple drones on the Jewish state.
"Iran has no immunity anywhere. Our forces operate in every sector against the Iranian aggression. I have directed that our forces be prepared for any scenario. We will continue to take determined and responsible action against Iran and its proxies for the security of Israel", said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A senior Iranian official has denied that Iranian forces had been hit in the air raid.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has, meanwhile, voiced support for "Israel's right to defend itself from the threat posed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps".
Alleged Israeli Drones Crash in Beirut
In a separate development, two alleged Israeli drones crashed near the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Saturday, with one of them exploding in the air and reportedly damaging the Hezbollah media centre in the city's suburbs.
The drone episode caused Lebanon's Prime Minister, Saad Hariri to accuse Israel of being a "threat to regional stability" and violating a 2006 UN resolution that ended a war between Hezbollah and Tel Aviv. Israel has yet to comment on the incident.
The movement's secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, said, in turn, the drones that fell over Beirut were on a "suicide mission" and pledged to "do everything" to thwart such attacks in the future. He added that the time when Israel could bomb Lebanon was "over".
Israel's Purported Strikes in Iraq
It was reported last week that Israel had carried out several strikes in Iraq, including the 19 July attack north of Baghdad that targeted a base allegedly used by Iran's IRGC.
Prime Minister Netanyahu fuelled the speculation by hinting at Israel's role in the attacks on ammunition depots in Iraq belonging to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) composed of mostly Shia Muslim groups.
"We're acting not only if required, we're acting in very many theatres against a state that seeks to annihilate us. Obviously I've given the security forces the order and the operational freedom to do what is necessary in order to disrupt these plots by Iran. And obviously I've also led, and in many ways continue to lead, a global effort against Iran", he told Channel 9 when asked whether Israel acts in Iraq "if required".
The prime minister vowed to not give Iran immunity "anywhere", describing the Islamic Republic as a country that is "trying to establish bases against us everywhere, [including] Iran itself, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen".
Israel, which views Iran and Hezbollah to be among its main rivals in the region, previously admitted to conducting hundreds of airstrikes against Syria in the past several years, claiming that they were aimed at countering a professed Iranian military presence in the country. While Damascus has strongly condemned the strikes as a violation of its sovereignty, Tehran has repeatedly stressed that its presence in Syria has been limited to sending advisers to help fight terrorism.

Q: Create new columns based on previous columns with multiplication I want to create a list of columns where the new columns are based on previous columns times 1.5. It will roll until Year 2020. I tried to use previous and current but it didn't work as expected. How can I make it work as expected?
df = pd.DataFrame({
         'us2000':[5,3,6,9,2,4],

}); df

a = []
for i in range(1, 21):
    a.append("us202" + str(i))
for previous, current in zip(a, a[1:]):
    df[current] = df[previous] * 1.5

A: IIUC you can fix you code with:
a = []
for i in range(0, 21):
    a.append(f'us20{i:02}')
for previous, current in zip(a, a[1:]):
    df[current] = df[previous] * 1.5

Another, vectorial, approach with numpy would be:
df2 = (pd.DataFrame(df['us2000'].to_numpy()[:,None]*1.5**np.arange(21),
                    columns=[f'us20{i:02}' for i in range(21)]))

output:
   us2000  us2001  us2002  us2003   us2004    us2005      us2006      us2007  ...
