When we want to see who the multinational giants in the world are, two useful studies might help us. One of them is The Fortune Global 500 and the other one is The Forbes 500. The Fortune Global 500 is a ranking of the top 500 corporations worldwide as measured by revenue. The list is compiled and published annually by Fortune magazine. Until 1989 it listed only non-US industrial corporations under the title "International 500", while the Fortune 500 contained and still contains exclusively US corporations. In 1990, US companies were added to compile a truly global list of top industrial corporations as ranked by sales.
There is another useful measure called The Forbes Global 2000 is an annual ranking of the top 2000 public companies in the world by Forbes magazine. The ranking is based on a mix of four metrics: Sales, Profit, Assets and Market value. The list has been published since 2003. The Forbes Global 2000 is a useful indicator of which are the leading public companies in the world but it is only an interpretation, as only public companies are listed. The results are not definitive; any change to the criteria would produce a different list.
A multinational corporation (MNC) or transnational corporation, also called as multinational enterprise, is a corporation or enterprise that manages production or delivers services in more than one country. It can also be referred as an international corporation. These companies organization extends employment contracts over national boundaries. They have cross national interdependencies.
The first modern MNC is generally thought to be the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon, first endorsed by the pope in 1129. The key element of transnational corporations was present even back then: the British East India Company and Dutch East India Company were operating in different countries than the ones where they had their headquarters. Nowadays many corporations have offices, branches or manufacturing plants in different countries than where their original and main headquarter is located. This is the very definition of a transnational corporation. They have the multiple operation points that all respond to one headquarter.
This often results in very powerful corporations that have budgets that exceed some national GDPs. Multinational corporations can have a powerful influence in local economies as well as the world economy and play an important role in international relations and globalization. The presence of such powerful players in the world economy is reason for much controversy.
The emerging global order is spearheaded by a few hundred corporate giants, many of them bigger than most sovereign nations. As an example Ford's economy is larger than Saudi Arabia's and Norway's. Phillip Morris's annual sales exceeded New Zealand's gross domestic product. The new giant firms of the 21st century have achieved something that no other nation could manage today. They have reached millions of people through different kind of global webs like shopping, culture, workforce and finance. These worldwide webs of economic activity have already achieved a degree of global integration never before achieved by any world empire or nation state. So that the actors on the top of these webs like Microsoft, IBM, Airbus or Boeing, now have a say on many different political issues and have the power to cause economic effects on many different areas, which never had before.
Contribute to economic, social and environmental progress with a view to achieving sustainable development.
Respect the human rights of those affected by their activities consistent with the host government's international obligations and commitments.
Encourage local capacity building through close co-operation with the local community, including business interests, as well as developing the enterprise's activities in domestic and foreign markets, consistent with the need for sound commercial practice.
Encourage human capital formation, in particular by creating employment opportunities and facilitating training opportunities for employees.
Refrain from seeking or accepting exemptions not contemplated in the statutory or regulatory framework related to environmental, health, safety, labour, taxation, financial incentives or other issues.
Support and uphold good corporate governance principles and develop and apply good corporate governance practices.
Develop and apply effective self-regulatory practices and management systems that foster a relationship of confidence and mutual trust between enterprises and the societies in which they operate.
Promote employee awareness of and compliance with, company policies through appropriate dissemination of these policies, including through training programmes.
Refrain from discriminatory or disciplinary action against employees who make bona fide reports to management or, as appropriate, to the competent public authorities, on practices that contravene the law, the Guidelines or the enterprise's policies.
Encourage, where practicable, business partners, including suppliers and sub-contractors, to apply principles of corporate conduct compatible with the Guidelines.
These items show that OECD is monitoring the activities of MNCs whether they are adding value to the local economy or not. The aim of OECD is to balance the needs of the local country and the MNC and maximize their shared interest.

What Causes a Sour Body Odor When Sleeping?
By Dana Severson
Dana Severson
Based in Minneapolis, Minn., Dana Severson has been writing marketing materials for small-to-mid-sized businesses since 2005. Prior to this, Severson worked as a manager of business development for a marketing company, developing targeted marketing campaigns for Big G, Betty Crocker and Pillsbury, among others.
It isn't uncommon to experience some level of body odor while sleeping. Most people only apply antiperspirant or deodorant in the morning. Throughout the day, it wears off. And as they sleep and sweat through the night, it isn't enough to retard perspiration and odor, resulting in a foul smell upon waking.

Bacteria and Perspiration

The sour body odor you're experiencing after sleeping is most likely a result of bacteria and perspiration. Everyone has bacteria that naturally occur on the skin. When these bacteria come into contact with your sweat, they break down the perspiration, according to the National Institutes of Health. During this process, body odor is formed. To combat this sour body odor, you can often start by reducing the temperature of the bedroom as well as removing some of the coverings. Even night sweats and subsequent body odor can result from an elevation in body temperature caused by warm rooms and too many blankets. You may also want to change the type of clothing you're wearing to bed, opting for breathable fabrics like cotton or even silk. Showering before bed as well as applying deodorant and antiperspirant may also help reduce sour body odor.

Sour body odor can also be a result of dietary habits. Some of the more common culprits are garlic, onions and caffeinated beverages. However, you may find that other foods are problematic and exacerbating body odor. To determine if your diet is causing the sour body odor while sleeping, keep a food diary and then compare the smell of your body odor to your meals from the day before. Something you're eating could be contributing to the sour smell.
Discuss conditions with doctor.

If self-care methods and dietary changes fail to provide results, make an appointment with your family physician. Sometimes, sweating and sour body odor from sleeping is a symptom of an underlying condition, such as hypoglycemia or hyperthyroidism. Proper treatment of the disorder can reduce the perspiration and accompanying body odor. When your doctor has ruled out blood or thyroid disorder as the cause of body odor, he can then prescribe a prescription antiperspirant containing aluminum chloride. This type of antiperspirant is applied to problematic areas before bed, which reduces the sweating and helps to eliminate sour body odor. The prescription is washed off in the morning, and you simply apply your regular deodorant or antiperspirant after showering.

the japanese island of okinawa is all from typhoon jelawat. at least 50 people suffered injuries while more than 270,000 homes have no power. the storm is expected to weaken as it moves north through cooler waters. here's what else we're talking about tonight. a mentally disabled woman beaten, 16 girls now in jail saying they did it just for fun. spanking your children, what's wrong with it? does it make for better, stronger, more responsible adults or is it child abuse? >> kids who are hit grow up to be bullies or bully themselves. >> republicans say it will prevent voter fraud. democrats call it voter suppression. are stiffer id requirements limiting your right to vote? and 24 hours without your cell phone. could you do it? >> right now, i'm disconnected.
>> this comedian gave it a shot. and this -- >> we love you, whitney! >> a bullied teen gets the last laugh and becomes a homecoming queen tonight on cnn. but we start with this. six young women are in jail near philadelphia, all teenagers facing very grown-up charges that they beat, kicked and brutalized a mentally challenged woman in their neighborhood. i'm about to show you that violent attack. there is video. they did record it. then they posted it on the internet for all their friends to see. it is hard to watch and frightening to hear.
the woman being beaten in that video, police say she is 48 years old, was sitting on her front stoop when the teenagers suddenly bounced on her, beat her with their fists, their feet and with a chair. their bizarre explanation, a police detective said it appears, quote, they just did it for fun. we'll spend some time with this shocking story tonight. there are urgent legal questions. but we're also trying to come to terms with this brutal and violent outburst that these girls inflicted on this woman. listen to some of the people involved in the case. >> they've been charged with aggravated assault and related charges, being held on $50,000 bail. >> my client never made any physical contact with the victim in this case. >> she did not throw any punches? >> no, she did not throw any punches. >> or throw anything at her? >> that's correct. >> i never talked to my child since he went to school
yesterday. >> what about your other daughter? >> i don't know the story. i haven't talked to her -- move that back. >> she apparently was the instigator? >> i haven't seen the video. i'm sorry for the things that happened. but i have nothing else to say. >> that woman was the mother of one of those girls in jail tonight for beating that mentally challenged woman. holly hughes is with me. you're a criminal defense. used to be a prosecutor. have you ever seen a case like this? and what is the explanation? kind of seems like a path mentality that all these girls worked together to do such a horrible thing. >> it is. and unfortunately we're seeing more and more of this with our young people. we're seeing children who wouldn't ordinarily do something like this if they were by themselves. they would probably just walk by that sweet lady. 48 years old and mentally disabled. why don't you pick on somebody your own size? this is so disturbing. that's why we've seen them charged as adults here. they're all underage. they could have been taken into the juvenile system.
but they have all been charged as adults. they're facing 20, 40 years depending on how many charges are stacked against them. >> it almost seems like they were feeding off each other in this video. how damaging is that video to a judge, to a jury seeing that and how brutal it was? >> that's exactly right. and it's not just that some of them are throwing punches. but it's that encouraging. there's something in the law called party to a crime. basically it means in for a penny, in for a pound. so even if -- we saw a defense attorney saying on there, but my client didn't throw any punches. but if your client stood there and encouraged and aided and abetted and cheered them on, they are just as responsible, under the law. and they can also be charge with the crime of aggravated assault and get up to 20 years if that's what the judge thinks is appropriate. >> how about a defense attorney saying, okay, my client is one of these girls, she's 16 years old, no priors, still she's facing that much time, it's that severe? >> it is because aggravated
assault has a range, like every crime. it's not what we call a mandatory minimum. it's a one to 20 range. looking at as low as one year of probation or 20 years of prison. it's all within the discretion of the judge. and it will depend on those different factors. can a defense attorney say, but my client has no priors, never been in trouble before and she is the one who didn't throw the punch. so even though she kind of got caught up, and we see that with a pack mentality. wilding, we saw it in new york city and some of the major metropolises where hordes of teenagers would commit crimes on totally innocent victim. that poor woman didn't have anything they wanted to steal. they beat her for the fun of it. and that's what makes these so frightening. >> if there was no recording, would they face as severe a
punishment? >> if they found somebody willing to testify against them. and that's the problem. when you get six of them together, if they all shut their mouth, nobody knows. but they do what kids do these days. they put it on social media. >> seeing it is so damaging for them and so callous. holly, thank you so much. we'll be watching this story and let you know what happens to those girls. she is in better condition, the woman who was violently beaten. next this -- >> spanking your children. what's wrong with it? does it make for better, stronger, more responsible adults? or is it child abuse? >> kids who are hit grow up to be bullies or bully themselves.

severe it would be and that it would come from a male adult. take a listen. >> it looked almost as if it had been burned and blistered it was so bad. >> it was bright red like bad. i still have whelps on me today. >> the school board is now changing its stance on paddling. parents will have to opt in. they will choose whether a male or female will dole out the punishment. but it raises a larger issue about corporal punishment overall. the affects of spanking a child and can it harm them in the long run? grace joins me tonight from miami. great to talk to you about this. let's get to it. is spanking an okay form of punishment on a child, in your opinion? >> in my opinion, i don't condone spanking. simply so much in that it is a form of violence. we know that discipline although
it's a very important part of parenting, parenting need to use it to instill their values on their children. i hope that it doesn't include violence. if there's ever a place children should be safe, it should be within their homes and especially at the hands of their parents. >> grace, i want you to listen to something that one of the concerned parents in texas raised in front of the school board meeting this week. here they are. take a listen. >> these men that swat these girls, they are telling the boys in the school, it's okay to hit a girl and it's okay to bruise a girl. and that's not right. >> if school boards around the country allow corporal punishment, can it be seen as effective or is it an ok xi oxymoron? >> it's a do as i say instead of do as i do. and it's unfortunate that it is such a slippery slope because
these types of marks that i heard the girl being described being left on her definitely crossed the line into what we would define as abuse. it sends mixed messages to children. violence is a learned behavior and this continues to perpetuate children looking at violence. and it's a dangerous message for children to think that violence is an acceptable means towards resolving issues. >> there have been plenty of studies on this. it one looked at the long-term side effects. harsh physical punishment was associated with increased odds of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug abuse dependence and several personality disorders. and those disorders affected between 2% and 7% of those studies. does that surprise you when you hear those stats? >> it doesn't surprise me whatsoever. and quite frankly, especially when we see these types of punishments inflicted on younger
children, we see changes where the brain is not able to function normally as it might otherwise. these statistics don't surprise me whatsoever. not to mention that most studies would agree when corporal punishment is used that it does tend to increase aggressive behaviors in that child and it does tend to have a propensity to lower that child's self-esteem. >> what about the people out there, parent who is refuse to believe that or say, that won't happen to my child and feel that it's okay? want to tell you about a california-based pediatrician who says he was spanked as a child. he spanked his kids and he believes the occasional use of physical punishment, not abuse, can be effective. what do you think when you hear that? does it teach children to behave a certain way? that's what people who believe that it is okay believe. that that's the only way to keep them in line, so to speak. >> well, i think every generation has a benefit fortunately of being able to learn from the prior generation.
and i think that we know that there are much more positive parenting strategies out there that are far more effective than the use of corporal punishment. and maybe they were lucky. but in most cases where physical punishment has been used and we actually know that in the united states, in over a third of households who do inflict physical punishment, it crosses that line into abuse. and that is very scary to me because 80% of abuse happens at the hands of a parent. and furthermore, we lose 5,000 children who die every day because of physical abuse. >> we put this on our twitter accounts. and it was hard to find people for that form of punishment. so i think people's mentalities are changing. grace, thanks so much. you heard the debate and how zero, according to grace, that it can get. next, a personal story, a woman who says she watched her

tonight, we have been having an open and honest discussion on corporal punishment and discipline, things like spanking, hitting, slapping, forms of physical punishment on kids by parents or an adult. but when does discipline turn into all-out abuse? michelle castle witnessed abuse on her stepsister at a young age. it was that abuse that led to her stepsister's death. the abuse also started happening to her. michelle castle joins us tonight. michelle, thank you for being here. you're so brave to share your story. i know you're going to help so many people out there. first of all, what kind of abuse did you witness on your stepsister? and how did that feel to witness that? >> i was young at the time so the feelings are difficult to describe. but basically it was hitting, kicking. my stepsister was not fed.
she was not allowed to eat at the table with us. she was forced to sleep on the bathroom floor. she couldn't go to school. pretty much as bad as you could imagine is how bad it was. >> why was your sister singled out in a way? was the abuse as bad on you or they picked on your sister for a particular reason? >> no, it was only her. there were four of us in the house and she was singled out. that's the one question we don't know the answer to. after reading transcripts from my stepfather's trial, he attributed to urination and defecation issues that she couldn't control, her body functions. but i believe those were as a result of the discipline as opposed to the cause. >> did your sister ever talk about it, being a child in that home? are you taught to not say anything? >> well, at the time, again, i was 5 years old when my stepsister passed away. remembering whether or not we could talk about it, i don't remember. it was later in life that i learned not to talk about it. >> and your stepsister sadly passed away because of it.
you and your siblings were put in foster care. then you moved in with your biological father? >> yes. we shent about a year and a half in foster care. i was in germany. we were shipped over to the united states and i lived with my biological father. >> what happened soon after that? >> my father was also abusive. it was limitnn't limited to my . he was very aggressive with his -- i don't want to say spankings because that would be understating what happened to us. he would beat us with branches and belts and his fists. so he was very, very aggressive with his discipline. >> how do you process this now? do you have any guilt in terms of your stepsister? and do you communicate with your other siblings about it? >> i have a lot of guilt. it's difficult for me to realize that i was only 5 years old at the time. i feel like i should have been able to do something.
i do talk to my sister. it's a little bit difficult because she hasn't reached a point to where she's comfortable talking about it. i do feel guilt. >> and you're a mother. how does it -- of course it shapes who you are, the person that you are. how do you think it affects the type of mother you are and what you will not do? >> absolutely. it does shape who you are but it doesn't define you. as a mother, that is my primary concern in life is to be a good mother to my boys. and i will not let anybody, including myself, hurt my boys. i want them to grow up as normal and happy as possible. and to have a safe environment at home. >> how old are your boys? >> 5 and 6. >> they have a wonderful mother. you're so brave for being here. michelle, appreciate that. >> thanks a lot. up next, we're talking about this -- >> republicans say it will prevent voter fraud. democrats call it voter serpgs. are stiffer id requirements limiting your right to vote? olo.

welcome back. most republicans consider voter id laws a legitimate way to prevent voter fraud. most democrats see them as attempts as voter suppression. but whatever your view, the laws are stirring up political passions all around the country. don lemon spoke about it with cnn contributors elsi granderson and anna navarro. >> last time we talked about this, you got really passionate, you and will really went at it. and you were specific saying you weren't going to sugar-coat it. >> this is driven by race. i was at the speech last night. i will tell you i didn't leave there thinking, oh, i need to vote for obama because he's black. i left there thinking as an american citizen, we all should be offends that these tactics are being used to curtail our rights, the right that is blacks and whites have died for.
you don't have to go all the way back to slavery. jesse helms used tactics to scare blacks from going back to the polls. >> it's nothing like this. >> let me finish. i allowed you to finish. saying things like, if you go to these polls and you don't have x, y and z documents, you will go to documents. that wasn't a long time ago. we were in college when that was going on. >> we invited will to be back. he's traveling. so he's unavailable. why are you so passionate about this? it's going on in a number of different states. pennsylvania now, it's up in the air as to what's going to happen. why are you so passionate about this? >> because i love this country. i love what we fought for. i love what we have and i don't want to see it taken away so that a person can win the white house.
the thing that really bothers me most by this is the people trying this tactics know the democrats are going to call them out on it. they knew that going into it. what they're hoping is that enough people in their base despise president obama so much that they would allow them to do this just so that romney can get into the white house. technically, that bothers me. that's part of the reason why i was so passionate about it with will. will's a rational guy. we're good friends. and i couldn't believe he was going to sit back and say it was okay for 250,000 people in pennsylvania to be eliminated in this process so that romney could get into the white house. >> anna, you hear what lz has to say about it. he says it's about race. it is mostly republican, except for one, which is rhode island. mostly republican houses who are asking for these tough voter id laws. what do you make of it? do you think it's driven by race? >> you know, i'm sure there is a racial component to it, don.
we live in america 2012. racism doesn't exist to the level it once did. but i'm not going to say it's been eliminated from our society. i'm a naturalized latino living in florida. florida is one of those state where is these voter changes have occurred. i have to tell you, i don't feel disenfranchised. i think it is a much smaller problem, at least in florida, than it is being portrayed. what we've seen now is that there's something like 198 voters that have been identified through the mechanisms that should -- that perhaps should not be voting and the supervisors of elections are getting asked to go through those names. i tell you, lz is my friend and i respect him. i understand his passion. i love this country, too. but i also understand that the responsibility and right to vote belongs to u.s. citizens. i'm a naturalized one. it's one of the privileges.
it's one of the duties that came along with me naturalizing. but i also understand that people who shouldn't be allowed to vote, should not be doing so. i do not agree that showing a picture id is such an onerous thing. i don't know what percentage is affected. i think we need to help the people. and i agree with lz that there is nothing worse than having to go to a dmv even when you do drive and need to go for purposes of getting a driver's license. that being said, we have to help people get ids if necessary. but we do have to all agree that the right to vote is precious. it's something that many people have fought for, have died for. and defending that right to vote means that we all have to agree. and i think we all do, that everybody who is legally allowed vote should be able to do so. >> when you're able to look at your own party and say, that's not right, call them out on it. the problem is we have way too many people within the republican party who despise president obama so much that
they're going to turn a blind eye and let this process go through even though they know it's not right. what we need -- the solution begins with saying, we're not going to let you do this now because we see what you're doing and it's not right. there are people in detroit where i grew up who were born on the east side who had never even been to the west side of the city. you're talking about picking up tickets at will call. these folks are just riding the bus. they don't have a lot of resources and a lot of opportunities. what we need are more individuals to stand up to their own parties and say, that's not right. i want our guy to win. but i want our guy to win fairly. >> passionate opinions on that. a lot to talk about. president obama and mitt romney, they go face to face as american voters weigh their choice. the first of three presidential debates will be next wednesday night. watch it live on cnn, 7:00 eastern and on cnn.com as well. meanwhile, as the president and mitt romney get ready for

tourists. >> let's take a look at what he went through. >> anyone have a cell phone? you have a cell phone? could you go a whole day without using your cell phone? can i just buy a temporary one and check my e-mail on it? the hardest part was not calling people. it was not being able to check my e-mail. everyone loves e-mail. i don't know where the cafe is. would you speak to new yorkers on a subway, like strangers? you do seriously? i usually play my baseball game. new york is beautifully diverse. i finally read the evacuation emergency instructions on the subway. if there's a fire on the subway, look for me, i will save your lives. i think we found something. i saw internet.
intempb internet right there, next to panini. >> remember the days of going home and checking your answering machine? what did you feel was the most stressful part for you? >> it was not being able to see e-mails. it wasn't the phone calls. but i'm a comedian. i'm a unique small business owner. i'm the president and the product of my company. when people want to get in touch with me, i'm the guy. >> at the end of the day -- >> i'm neurotic. >> how significant are the e-mails, really? >> they're not -- they turn out not to be that important. they weren't life-changing. it wasn't a big deal happening for me. but still, you feel disconnected. and when you're so used to being plugged in all the time, instantaneously, when you take it away, it's going to take days or weeks to get used to the old world before cell phones. it was a whole different world for us.
using a pay phone in new york -- >> did you find one? >> they're everywhere. the problem is, no one has to clean them apparently because they think homeless people confuse them for troom bathrooms. they were filthy. i called. no messages. >> i do have to say i love my cell phone. u p i do miss the old days where you connected with people. you're walking down the street and you're actually looking. i do that, too. i have to stop that in terms of being so into my cell phone. what were the upsides to this? >> the upside is i love my cell phone and i realize it's my blanket and i need it desperately. it made me aware of my own dependency on technology today. that's the upside. the downside is you become aware, too, when you don't have a cell phone, everyone is compartmentalized. you're on a subway but you're lonely because you're without your cell phone. i was lonely in the biggest city

in afghanistan, most of the girls have no voice. they are used as property of a family. the picture is very grim. my name razia jan and i'm the founder of a girls school in afghanistan. when we opened the school in 2008, 90% of them could not write their name. today, 100% of them are educated. they can read, they can write. i lived in the u.s. for over 38 years. but i was really affected by 9/11. i really wanted to prove that muslims are not terrorists. i came back here in 2002. girls have been the most oppressed. and i thought, i have to do something. it was a struggle in the beginning. i would sit with these men and i would tell them, don't marry
them when they're 14 years old. they want to learn. how do you write your father's name? after five years now, the men, they're proud of their girls. when they themselves can write their name. still, we have to take these precautions. some people are so much against girls getting educated. we provide free education to over 350 girls. i think it's like a fire. it will grow. every year my hope becomes more -- i think i can see the future. want to tell you about the acclaimed book "half the sky." it's inspired a new documentary profiling kristof in a special report for cnn. he sat down with these actresses
to find out what they learned about the women holding up half the sky. gabrielle union tells us how a 15-year-old girl in vietnam inspired her. >> nhi's mother had left because her father was abusive. hz abuse was so epic he was famous in their community. the father is a clock and watch repairman. everything is digital so that the business is not brisk. and instead of changing occupations or picking up another job, he came up with the bright idea for nhi to sell lottery tickets. and she figured out a way to squirrel away money to get tutoring to get food for her and her brother to get uniforms, books, supplies. and some days when she just wasn't going to be able to sell all of her lottery tickets and she was going to go home and be beaten.
sir, do you know why nhi is crying? could you tell us why she's upset? >> [ speaking foreign language ]. >> i can see in nhi's face that there was a lot more to her story than even what she was willing to let on. i became a little attached, maybe too attached, some way would. >> it does seem to me that nhi's story in a sense reflects the real argument about why we should care about somebody in vietnam. tiny amounts of money -- the money we spend on a coffee can be transformative in the life of somebody like nhi, as well as the idea that our compassion shouldn't depend on the color of somebody's passport. >> exactly, exactly.
i think that's the point we all try to make. it's a little bit of humanity. you must be so proud of her because she's such a great student and she's such a good salesperson. there has to be a sense of pride. what would she have to do -- when you absolutely refuse to see someone else's pain because you're okay, it does make you a jerk. >> you've worked a lot with violence issues, gender violence issues right here in the u.s. i'm curious, when you were working halfway around the world in vietnam with these girls, did it feel kind of the same? >> if kids this america could see what nhi went through and how she got through it, they could apply those same lessons to their own life. helping and giving a damn makes the world go around.
we can all learn from each other. you are so beautiful and so smart, i know you will be very successful. we all have such hope for the world. and i'm maybe a little selfish. i want to see that inspiration have an effect in my neighborhood and with my family. and i think what we created absolutely can have that effect, if people give it a chance. i'm very, very, very proud of you. at shell, we believe the world needs a broader mix of energies. that's why we're supplying natural gas to generate cleaner electricity... that has around 50% fewer co2 emissions than coal. and it's also why, with our partner in brazil, shell is producing ethanol - a biofuel made from renewable sugarcane. >>a minute, mom! let's broaden the world's energy mix. let's go.

everyone thinks i am. i just prove all these kids wrong. >> reporter: that's exactly what she did. since then, she's been swamped with support, from the local hair salon. >> to find out it was a joke, it touched me. >> reporter: to the facebook page with over 100,000 fans. >> it's so cool to see e-mails that she's -- we're getting or she's getting from parents and other students from all over the place telling their stories and how it helped them and it touched them. my daughter's out there as an inspiration to a lot of people and that's a really cool thing. you're like cinderella, mistreated, unappreciated, abused. after much support, you're going to have a great time at the ball. >> i thought before, no one cares about me. i thought not even my own brother and sister care. but they're proving they do care. the world is proving that they -- not really care about me but about the situation. >> reporter: folks from all over the state are here tonight.

Bugs Bunny in Hare Trigger
by Hobo Moon Cartoons🌘	on April 7, 2020 April 7, 2020
Friz Freleng (1945)
Hare Trigger is a 1945 Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng and stars Bugs Bunny. The short featured the first appearance of Yosemite Sam, as well as the first short to credit the whole animation staff who worked on the short.
The short is also the first to use the shortened version of the song Merrily We Roll Along that played from 1945 to 1955.
Yosemite Sam is an American animated cartoon character in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons produced by Warner Bros. Animation. His name is taken from Yosemite National Park. Along with Elmer Fudd, he is an adversary of Bugs Bunny. He is commonly depicted as an extremely aggressive gunslinging prospector, outlaw, pirate, or cowboy with a hair-trigger temper and an intense hatred of rabbits — Bugs in particular.
Animator Friz Freleng introduced the redesigned or renamed character in the 1945 cartoon Hare Trigger. With his grumpy demeanor, fiery temper, strident voice and short stature, and fiery red hair, Sam was in some ways a caricature of Freleng.
Other characters with Sam-like features appear in several Merrie Melodies shorts shown below.
Super-Rabbit
The Bugs Bunny entry Super-Rabbit (1943) features the cowboy character Cottontail Smith, whose voice is similar to Sam.
Stage Door Cartoon
Stage Door Cartoon (1944), however, features a southern sheriff character that looks and sounds similar to Sam, except for a more defined Southern stereotype to his voice.

Solar Hydrogen - is This Possible?
The hydrogen as a fuel is getting more and more popular at present mainly because it doesn't pollute the environment and it is fully sustainable – while burning, the hydrogen turns into its original source – water. The usual method for extracting hydrogen from water is separating the hydrogen and oxygen atoms via electrolysis, a process in which high voltage is applied to water. This way is expensive and energy inefficient due to the higher amounts of energy required for it. This is why many scientists and researchers are trying to find cheaper and more effective way of producing hydrogen in industrial amounts.
[Image Source: UC Boulder]
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder responded to these requirements by inventing a unique technique for separating hydrogen from oxygen. The whole process is powered by sunlight.
Alan Weimer, a Professor at Boulder, explained how the system works. The team has developed a solar-thermal system where the sunlight is concentrated onto a single point on the top of a central tower by using lots of mirrors. Such system heats the water to nearly 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,350 Celsius) and then the steam is processed by catalysts (metal oxides) in a special reactor. The metal oxide compound releases oxygen atoms when heated, which changes its composition and forces the newly formed compound to gather oxygen atoms from the surrounding environment and substances. The scientists proved that adding the steam produced by the solar-thermal power station to the catalyst allows it to restore the oxygen it lost. Explained shortly, the catalyst pulls the oxygen out of the steam to restore itself, after which remains only a hydrogen gas which is easily collected.
"We have designed something here that is very different from other methods and frankly something that nobody thought was possible before," said Weimer "Splitting water with sunlight is the Holy Grail of a sustainable hydrogen economy."

PPP forgiveness: No need to rush, and other tips
Although forgiveness for Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans is a foremost topic on the minds of borrowers and the CPAs who advise them, experts are saying borrowers should not rush to apply for forgiveness.
Long-expected FAQs expected to clarify many PPP-related issues are still awaited from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and Treasury. In addition, the loan forgiveness application has not been updated to reflect the recent five-week extension of the program's deadline to Aug. 8.
A big reason for these delays is that Congress is debating a new round of COVID-19 relief, which is expected to include a second PPP initiative more targeted than the first one, said Mark Peterson, the executive vice president who heads the AICPA's advocacy team in Washington, D.C. Those discussions also may include major changes relaxing the forgiveness requirements for the smallest loans, possibly those up to $100,000 or $150,000.
"The situation is very dynamic," Peterson said on Thursday during the AICPA's weekly Town Hall covering PPP and other issues related to the COVID-19 recession and recovery efforts.
Erik Asgeirsson, CEO of CPA.com, the technology and business subsidiary of the AICPA, said during the Town Hall that the SBA and Treasury are not expected to release the expected 25 to 30 FAQs before President Donald Trump signs new relief legislation. Congress is trying to hammer out a package before going on recess Aug. 8.
Even if the FAQs do come out, the SBA issued a procedural notice Thursday that indicated it would not begin accepting PPP forgiveness submissions from lenders until a new software-as-a-service platform currently under development goes live Aug. 10. The SBA said the launch could be delayed if new legislation changes the forgiveness process in ways that require changes to the new platform.
The SBA's notice adds another reason for waiting to work on PPP loan forgiveness applications to those covered in an AICPA blog post that published July 14, said Mark Koziel, CPA, CGMA, the Association of International Certified Professional Accountant's executive vice president–Public Practice.
"We have to be as patient as possible," he said.
The real PPP forgiveness deadline
Kari Hipsak, CPA, CGMA, an Association senior manager, said in an interview the important deadline in the PPP forgiveness process doesn't come until 10 months after the end of the loan's covered period.

Other Abstract Single Event Transients (SET) of linear device have the characteristics of transience and propagation, which cause great difficulties to fault location and mitigation design for on-orbit electronic systems and devices, and are significant threat to the reliability of spacecraft. To mitigate SET for linear devices, comprehensive experimental assessment on the SET is required, and parameters of the SET in the worst case especially need to be determined. Then specific filtering circuit can be designed according to the worst case parameters of SET and the application circuits. In this paper, SET assessment and mitigation on operational amplifier LM124 which is typically used in spacecraft are investigated. Firstly, SET characteristics of the device are evaluated by pulse laser facility, and the worst SET with duration of 35 mus and amplitude of 7.2 V are observed. Then, by using Hspice simulation, the SET of LM124 are compared and verified with experimental assessment, and mitigation on the worst SET using different parameters of filter circuits are investigated. Finally, the mitigation on worst SET with the optimized filtering circuit is investigated and verified again using the pulsed laser facility. The work of this paper is useful to investigate and mitigate SET of other linear devices applied in space.
