I need not waste your time to prove to you how people are lying to Save Darwin; and, that in fact, when Darwin himself admitted he could not prove evolution to be a scientific fact.
Anyway, here's another site where you'll discover people lying for Jesus; that, according to Pavao, of course, and not according to the Christian Bible!
First, sorry I can only give you one link. The second link is to your book, title _Biblical Creation Truth_. I don't object to you listing a link to it except this site has already (apparently) been penalized by Google for links to weak sites. Your first link has a page rank of 3, pretty good for a personal site.
Anyway, yes, I can show you where problems lie on your site. I'd be interested to see your answer, but I'm afraid I have lunch and a gathering of the church to attend.
Your comment is up for anyone that wants to address it.
This site still gets a couple hundred visits a day despite the hit from Google over the last couple years that I had leukemia and haven't been working on it. Doing good now, and as soon as I'm done creating my Christian history course on Udemy, I'll be working on this site again.
1. I wouldn't accuse you of lying. I limit that to scientists. I think you're woefully ignorant of both the evidence of evolution and the conclusions drawn from that evidence. I also think the arguments on your web site are extremely poor and based on the worst of data. Generally, though, I only accuse scientists who understand the scientific process of peer review of lying. If you repeated the slander about Donald Johanson and "Lucy" covered on this site, I would regard you as deceived. When a professional scientist repeats it, that's slander and lying because it's so easy to know better. A professional scientist is purposefully ignoring scientific ethics when he repeats such slander.
Now let me justify those statements.
You wrote, "Darwin himself admitted he could not prove evolution to be a scientific fact."
Every scientist would be willing to say he could not "prove" evolution to be a "scientific fact." They would also say they could not prove the germ theory of disease to be a scientific fact.
Darwin was presenting a new theory when he wrote his book. He gave the evidence for his theory, and then he made predictions so that other scientists could either shore up his theory or find evidence that would falsify it.
That's how scientific discovery works, and our modern world proves just how well it works. Apparently, though, you don't even understand that most basic idea of science, yet you want to refute evolutionary theory on your web site!
You make this extraordinary claim that modern human remains have been found in 7 to 12 million year old sediment. You list three locations with finds dating from 1860, 1866, 1880, and 1912. The source for these supposed finds, all at least a century old, is a book called _Ape-Men, Fact or Fallacy_ produced by Sovereign Publications, clearly a creationist book.
The only way to verify such data, and I guarantee it would not be verifiable, would be to buy the book, look up his references, go find those references and look up their sources, etc. Someone once did that with Kent Hovind's claim that 70-foot tall plum trees grew in the Arctic. He had to go through four generations of sources to find the original, which was a perfectly normal 20-foot plum tree, found about 4 miles north of where it was expected to be found, on an island. The original source was simply using the tree to establish that the island was probably once connected to the coast, while Hovind had turned it into a pre-flood giant.
I don't know if I have room left in this comment to address the Cambrian explosion, but it's a perfect example of terrible reasoning, so I'll put that in the next comment.
On your web site, you write: "At a certain level (rocks corresponding to the "Pre Cambrian Era") the geologic layers contain almost no fossils. The few that exist are those from cellular and multicellular creatures such as algae or bacteria. Suddenly, in the next higher layer (corresponding to the "Cambrian Period") many sophisticated, fully formed fossils appear. These varied creatures include Trilobites, brachiopods, gastropods, bivalves, crinoids, graptolites, sponges, and segmented worms. This sudden appearance of so many fully developed life forms can not be explained using the theory of evolution and the slow-working microevolution model."
The Cambrian explosion was a surprise to scientists, though the time periods involved are in the neighborhood of 30 million years. It is amazing, and it is an event no one would have just guessed at.
However, the Cambrian explosion is no threat to evolution. Instead, it completely undermines the creation model.
Creationists love to argue that "every phyla was represented there, appearing suddenly." That's not true, though it is true most phyla were represented there.
Our phyla, Chordata, for example, was represented there. Of course, there was not one vertebrate yet: not one fish, not one amphibian, not one reptile, not one mammal. We were represented by underwater creatures that had a "chord" (thus, Chordata) that is the foundation of our backbone.
Another possible cephalochordate is Pikaia (Nelson, 1994) from the Middle Cambrian. These fossils are highly significant because they imply the contemporary existence of the tunicates and craniates in the Early Cambrian during the so-called Cambrian Explosion of animal life.
What's a tunicate? I can't post a photo in a comment, but just look it up on a search engine. It's a flower-looking creature that lives at the bottom of the see.
What's a craniate? The representatives from the mid-Cambrian period are cephalochordates. You can read about them at http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/chordata/cephalo.html. Basically, they are tiny worm/eels.
This doesn't fit the young earth model well at all. 500 million years is a long time ago, and it took 300 million years after that to evolve the first mammal. Mammals have amazing hearing because two of the reptiles' jawbones became the hammer and stirrup of our ear.
So, no, I wouldn't call you a liar. I don't believe you're lying. I think you're repeating arguments from people you trust to be honest with you. I wrote "Lying for Jesus" to warn you that they are not being honest with you. They are deceiving you on Jesus' behalf, thinking that they are doing you spiritual good by doing so.
They are the liars. You are just the victim of their lies.

Ever think of working in the music industry? What about the film industry? A career as a make-up artist? Want a career in the entertainment industry? There are some options to consider when making your moves.
There are entertainment industry jobs that are accessible for people that would like to be involved in films or other media work. The film segment of entertainment work can be an enjoyable entry point for artists and other people that may not have the widest array of unique talents and skills.
Extras are usually required for movies and the appearances and personalities that are required are sometimes diverse. This means people do not necessarily need to look like models to work in the film and entertainment industry. Producers are interested in every kind of individual and some jobs such as being an extra would not have talking components. This allows people with less formal performing backgrounds to be included.
There are many equally significant positions accessible to people interested in film work and within the realms of CGI assistants to the editors, of both the writing as well as the movie. When people think of the film industry some often consider acting but that is only a segment of the opportunities that exist. There are writing, editing, production editing, audio engineers, performers and other roles that could be filled for those who have the right fit of skills and abilities.
There are also cruise ship singers, the piano lounge singers, the so-accused Chippendale plus Karaoke performers and more. Sometimes even asking a local pub for a gig is a good place to enter the entertainment business. The Beatles among many other bands played in pubs and bars when starting out their career. Artists are not always born famous or granted a golden spoon upon birth. Sometimes tickets into the entertainment biz need to be earned with blood and tears.
Not everyone is cut out to be a rock star or perhaps a pop icon but for those that are not at the top of their game there are still opportunities. Some people in the industry recommend doing entry level work in a studio if that gets you into the door and you want to be a vocal artist. If you are a music performer even reach out to labels that produce compilations and see about getting on deck. If possible think portfolio first, money second because in the beginning it's about making noise, getting recognized and earning some credible experience.
Consider the entertainment industry jobs inside subordinate yet collaborative niches. What besides Survivor or any alternative hot shows is regarded as the largest marketing occasions in comparison to Television? Football! Cheerleaders, Announcers and other forms of artists are required in these fields. Cheerleading is a professional career for many gymnastic artists. There are also newscasters, possibly camera manning opportunities and other jobs in these sporting segments of the entertainment industry. Come up with your associations list and a good list of contacts in the area of work you wish to pursue and make connections by networking.
Sometimes people devalue their skills and think that it takes model looks and a super talent to be involved in the entertainment business but there are a diverse range of careers in the industry. Even take makeup artists, hair stylists and wardrobe consultants. These are vital roles in most gigs, movies and media events.
There are also many online money making opportunities where artists can sell their services. These micro job websites offer artists the ability to post services they will perform for others for a fee including production work, video creation & editing, song writing, creative writing, drawing and more. The best thing about these micro jobs is its passive and supplemental income that can be earned with a part time commitment that is on your schedule. Some of these websites even act as a secondary e-commerce source to sell your CDs and digital music through. For example you could sell tangible goods such as songs, beats, albums, etc. in addition to services.
There are many jobs in the entertainment industry for those that want to pursue a career in this area. The most important thing to do is to decide what you would like to do, what your skills and strengths are and then make contacts and network to get some starter opportunities. It may take time to get where you want to be in your entertainment career but through commitment you will have a good chance on reaching your goals – but remember goals should be SMART.

Even though the last of the remaining aged survivors of the Second World War who fought and suffered through its horrors are now dying out, interpretations of what happened remain politically and morally contested. It is now an old story that West (but not East) Germany admitted the criminal nature of the Nazi regime, apologized, and incorporated recognition of what occurred into its school curriculum. Officially, Japan never has unambiguously done so and Japanese remain deeply divided over their wartime historical record, including its colonial rule in Asia.
But the story is much more complicated than that because most of the West European countries occupied by Germany during the war only gradually and belatedly admitted that their many collaborators played a crucial role in helping the Germans carry out the Holocaust and fight their war. This was even more the case in East Europe, where many are still evasive about the widespread cooperation with the Nazis that occurred during those years. Poland had to be shocked by Jan Gross's path-breaking book, Neighbors, before starting to come to grips with the reality of its anti-Semitism, and in many other parts of the region that has not really begun to take place, even now. And in East Asia, the successful channeling of nationalist passions against Japan by the Koreans and Chinese has allowed them to evade the records of their own numerous collaborators.
The importance of World War II memories goes well beyond arguments about guilt or innocence, or concerns about official obscurantism in school textbooks and public avoidance, even denial of the relevance of the topic. The reality is that people have their own version of what happened passed on in family lore, while leaders' interpretations of their past continue to shape present policy choices.
There has been much valuable scholarship on how both Europe and East Asia have approached issues related to World War II, but relatively little that directly compares the two areas. By bringing together a small group of the best analysts of the contentious twentieth century in both Europe and East Asia, we hope to deepen the comparative scholarship of how they have shaped their historical memory of the wartime past and how that legacy continues to shape current history in both regions. Each panel focuses on a key question and pairs specialists from Asian and European studies to address that same question.
This conference draws upon the three-year Divided Memories and Reconciliation project of the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center. The papers presented here will be published as an edited volume by a major university press.


1. Can I mount IMS served by Manifold on a server with Linux RedHat operating system and Apache Server?
Yes, it is possible to mount it on Apache, because there is way to support routines IIS. But it is definitely not possible to mount it on Linux, it must be Windows.
2. I have already published an IMS service as explained before, IIS is enabled and even now it's not yet published.
You don't have permission to view this directory or this page with the supplied credentials.
If you believe you should be able to view this directory or page, please contact the webmaster using the e-mail address or phone number listed on the localhost home page.
Then give the right click to the mouse button to properties, directory and enable all rights. It should also be done the same with the folder.
In the event that the file is stored in another directory, other than the Inetpub you should create a virtual directory.
It is made with Action / new / virtual directory… and follows the wizard until it ends. Then choose the .map file and give the properties.
After this publication restart the IIS publication.
3. To edit the map, are assigned rights lost?
Yes. It is a curious situation that if you edit the .map file being published, and save the changes, are lost the rights assigned via IIS.
No re-edit that file, but edit the original, when making changes and saving, replace and restart the IIS service. In this way, the rights to the file will not lose.
While it seem to me something does not function well (*), when I make the consultation in Manifold's forum, I was told that this is so, so that is how I solved it … I'll try these freeware programs that allow scheduled replication routines to see if it resolves the impasse of being replacing in a manual way.
(*) destrompada: it's a jargon that means that something is not working well.

Q: X-ray characteristic radiation A high speed electron knocks an orbital electron in the atom. This collision creates a vacancy that is filled by an electron from a higher energy level. My question is, what happen with both electrons after the collision? (high speed electron and the knocked electron)

A: Its a  many particle interactive  system and electrons are being knocked out from many such atoms  from various shells-
they can be caught by some other atoms if a suitable place is available in their arrangements or
get out loosing their energies by collision /radiation  and  transforming to mainly thermal energies.
The efficiency is at a level  that only 1%   of the total energy input  gets back as X-rays.
The Tube target  is to be cooled continuously  by water  otherwise the target can melt so a lot of energy of electrons convert to heat and electromagnetic radiation.

I have an SSL on my server, and the certificate is installed correctly, and the paths to the images are correct using https, however they do no show up in my web page, but if you surf directly to the images using https it shows right up????
Do you have Hotlink Protection enabled in Cpanel? I think by default it only allows your non-secure urls access.
Your are a freakin genius... I added the https path to the hotlink protection and it works.

Homer Library Board Delays Decision On Moving Lgbtq+ Books
HOMER, Alaska (AP) — A library advisory board heard nearly four hours of testimony this week on whether more than 50 books with LGBTQ+ themes should be moved to the adult section of the Homer Public Library but delayed making a decision.
The board said the delay would give members time to read the books that a citizens group wants moved out of the children's section. Board members will discuss and potentially vote on Jan. 17, the Homer News reported.
A group submitted a petition asking library director Dave Berry to move the books. However, he declined.
The group appealed his decision to the advisory board, which will have the last say.
Berry suggested the board had three possible responses to the appeal: uphold his decision, move some titles to the adult section or move them all to the adult section.

MacKay signs on for three more years as board chair for Muskoka Airport
Monday Jan. 23rd, 2023

Don MacKay will serve another three years as the board chair for the Muskoka Airport.
District of Muskoka council gave their approval for MacKay to continue as board chair until Jan. 15, 2026, and also gave a thumbs up for David Legge to remain as a director on the board for the same time period.
The terms for MacKay and Legge were due to expire on Jan. 15. They are two members of the seven-person airport board.
In a report to council on Jan. 16, Len O'Connor, chief executive officer of the airport, and Julie Stevens, chief administrative officer for the district, write both "expressed their keen interest in being reappointed."
In Nov. 2022, MacKay reviewed the performance of the six directors on the board and said he believed the "mix of skills, experience, and knowledge of the current board remains appropriate for the current and near-term development needs of the Muskoka Airport."
Also that month, the board reviewed MacKay's performance and reported they believe he has done an "excellent job" and is the right person to lead the airport forward.


There are times when Chihuahuas need to be re-homed, and if you would like to offer a new home to such a dog then in the first instance you should write to the Secretary of the British Chihuahua Club Rescue Association (BCCRA), at the address below, enclosing a stamped self-addressed envelope and requesting a 'Rescue Adoption Registration Form'. To save time and postage you may wish to download a copy of the form to print out and complete. Please note that we can only consider rehoming dogs within mainland Britain.
To download a copy of the Adoption Registration Form (1MB PDF) please click here. The completed form should be returned to the address above. As postage costs come out of Rescue funds, we do not acknowledge receipt of forms by mail unless a stamped self-addressed envelope is enclosed.
Once filled in and returned, the adoption form is filed, awaiting a suitable dog. The list is not operated on a 'first come, first served' basis, but rather concentrates on matching the dog to a home most suitable for its requirements, for instance some	dogs love the hustle and bustle of a family, whilst others prefer a home on a one to one basis. Once a dog becomes available, the most suitable sounding home is contacted and a home-check is carried out by a member of the Club, living in the vicinity and, if all is satisfactory, the dog is received and an adoption form to be completed in duplicate, one copy for the new adoptive owner and one for the Rescue File. In some cases, where there is nobody available to do a home check immediately, we may take a reference from the prospective home's vet and perform a follow-up visit later (This only happens occasionally).
We do not sell dogs for a specific amount of money, but a voluntary donation is suggested. Elderly dogs are checked by a vet first and if there is ongoing medication at the time of adoption, we may offer to help with this, depending upon the circumstances of the new adoptive home.

Environmental Groups Push For Stronger Polar Code
When the Polar Code takes effect in January 2017, it will strengthen the rules for many of the vessels sailing through Arctic waters. It will help protect the Arctic environment, but experts say gaps remain.

The first-ever global framework governing commercial shipping in polar zones isn't even in effect, yet activists and scientists are already pushing for stronger environmental protections.
The International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters, known as the "Polar Code," was adopted in a series of votes by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2014 and 2015. The agreement, much of which enters force in January 2017, establishes standards for ships operating in the icy waters of the Arctic and Antarctic.
"We're calling it a first phase. Not everyone does," said Andrew Dumbrille, WWF-Canada's oceans and Arctic manager.
Environmental groups have praised the IMO and industry stakeholders for negotiating a binding framework where previously there was none, but they continue to push for a broader regime that covers more maritime activity and adds further environmental protections, said Dumbrille.
The Polar Code amends the International Convention on the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and its corresponding pollution conventions. But SOLAS applies only to large vessels of 500 gross tons and more. That distinction means tankers, bulk carriers and cruise ships fall under the Polar Code regulations, while fishing boats, yachts and smaller adventure vessels do not, which left environmental groups dissatisfied.
"Right now the conversation around the Polar Code is whether to include non-SOLAS vessels. People are scratching their heads as to how you would actually apply it to fishing vessels. I think there is a broad understanding that it needs to happen," said Dumbrille.
The challenge with fishing boats, Dumbrille said, is that home nations generally try to keep a firm grasp on regulation of their own fleets, making international agreements more difficult.
(Arctic Portal)
The environmental protocols ban discharges of oil, oily mixtures, plastics and noxious chemicals from ships traveling north of a boundary that ranges between 58 degrees N and 73 degrees N. In North America, the rules are in effect above 60 degrees N. Most sewage and food wastes cannot be dumped overboard within 12 nautical miles of an ice shelf – a thick, floating ice sheet attached to the coast.
Dumbrille said there should be a complete ban on discharging untreated sewage. The code also lacks curbs on the release of "gray water," or non-sewage waste water from sinks, showers and clothes washing. Some vessels can store sewage and gray water on board for long periods, but others would need to install larger tanks or treatment systems.
Ecologists were disappointed that the Polar Code did not ban ships from using heavy fuel oil (bunker fuel) in the Arctic or carrying it as cargo. Burning heavy fuel oil (HFO) creates black carbon (fine soot) that speeds up melting when it falls on snow and ice. Unlike other fuels, HFO does not evaporate, but sticks to feathers and fur and can smother organisms. Dumbrille said Russia, in particular, blocked the measures because its northernmost communities tend to use heavy oil to generate electricity. Communities in Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia are more likely to use cleaner diesel fuel.
Even so, a spill could be costly. "I still believe that the first thing that's going to happen is a diesel release from a tourist vessel that wants to get just a little bit closer and closer to see the spectacular flora and fauna, and runs aground in a shallow area," said Christopher Reddy, a marine chemist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. "A spill like that in the wrong place at the wrong time can be pretty devastating."
Policymakers should rely on science to identify sensitive areas and do what's necessary to minimize the likelihood of a spill there, Reddy said.
It is a complex process to pinpoint the most vulnerable feeding, calving, migration and bird zones in polar regions, where the climate evolves rapidly. "I don't think we have a good baseline in understanding these habitats and habitat sensitivities for the Arctic," he added. "A place that is a very good breeding ground today might be very different five years from now."
The Polar Code's vessel safety standards include the need for ice-strengthened hulls, properly trained ice navigators, mandatory cold-weather gear and customized safe-voyage plans. Even if certain pollutants are not banned, these shipbuilding and operational requirements reduce the risk of an oil spill, said Lawson Brigham, a former U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker commander who is now a professor of geography and Arctic policy at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
"The Polar Code is a historic and seminal marine safety and protection regime for the polar waters," Brigham said. "The No.1 thing that is needed to be done is to create a framework to move forward. It's not as comprehensive as some might like (but) it deals with the prevention side and preventing (spills) from happening."
Reddy and Brigham noted that an immediate concern is the lack of emergency assets in the vast seas. Very little equipment is available for spill containment, search and rescue, salvage or ship repair.
"There is a huge infrastructure gap," Brigham said.
At IMO sessions later this year, the WWF and other participants intend to hold side meetings to discuss strengthening ecological safeguards and offering indigenous peoples a greater voice. Dumbrille said native villages need better protection from spills and more clean-up equipment.
"We need to empower and train and put resources in local communities," he said. "Ultimately they are the first responders. It's going to wash up on their shores and impact what they eat."

The pair of tweets, resuming at 8:01 a.m. EDT as the first of the regular Sunday television news shows began, punctuated an unusual silence on the social media platform, where Trump is followed by 59 million people.
Trump's previous tweet had come at 4:15 p.m. Friday, when he posted a video of his meeting that day with Caribbean leaders at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
That post came less than a hour before Mueller's team delivered its long awaited report on an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections and possible connections to Trump associates.
Trump's absence from Twitter in the interim, even after golfing Saturday with his friend and musician Kid Rock, was one of his longest-ever absences from Twitter, though not the longest.
In June 2017, the president went dark for nearly 46 hours around the Senate testimony by former FBI director James Comey, whose firing by Trump triggered the hiring of Mueller all those months ago. When Trump returned to Twitter back then, early on the morning of June 9, he lashed out at Comey and claimed "total and complete vindication." This time around, the president has been more restrained.
White House aides and Trump's inner circle appeared relieved over the weekend to learn that Mueller will not file more indictments in connection with his probe. But the president and his team hadn't been briefed on the report's findings as of Sunday morning, aides said.
And it may take some time for those inside the government and Congress who have access to Mueller's findings to understand what the implications are for Trump, his family and associates.
Trump was again at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Sunday and is expected to return to Washington this evening.
Some of Trump's surrogates, including his lawyer Rudy Giuliani, started to come out of the woodwork on social media on Sunday. Giuliani challenged Representative Adam Schiff, chairman of the House intelligence committee, on the question of whether the lack of further indictments is a "vindication" for Trump.


HA, I did wonder how you got all that grown all ready 🙂 can't get a shovel in just yet…-4C this AM!
These are last year's photos, I managed to prepare a couple of beds but is still a bit early. Saying that it always feels like Spring will never come but then it happens really quickly.
Do you have a lot of wind in regards to your hoop houses or tunnel covers?
Thank you. The wind has snapped my plastic supports on the snow/wind fence so metal posts and hoops are definitely in order here on Adak. Are you able to grow most anything in a small tunnel, e.g., tomatoes or cucumbers?


He is the best tactician and combat commander we have.
We ceased to deal seriously with mobile combat. We relegated to oblivion the fundamentals of combat-in-depth tactics and of combined arms maneuvers which had been widespread before the Finnish campaign.
Cuvier advanced his doctrine on methodological as well as scientific grounds. Although his work was far from empirical, Cuvier adopted and promulgated an empiricist ideology in order to combat opposing points of view.
In an address before the "Academia," which had been organized to combat "science falsely so called," Cardinal Manning declared his abhorrence of the new view of Nature, and described it as "a brutal philosophy—to wit, there is no God, and the ape is our Adam." ...These attacks from such eminent sources set the clerical fashion for several years.
Whose wit in the combat, as gentle as bright,Ne'er carried a heart-stain away on its blade.
— On the Death of Sheridan.
When a man hath no freedom to fight for at home, Let him combat for that of his neighbours; Let him think of the glories of Greece and of Rome, And get knock'd on the head for his labours. To do good to mankind is the chivalrous plan, And is always as nobly requited; Then battle for freedom wherever you can. And, if not shot or hang'd, you'll get knighted.
What is bravery, and what is bravado? Journalists covering combat shoulder great responsibilities and face difficult choices. Sometimes they pay the ultimate price.
His weariness is that of the gladiator after the combat; his work was the whitewashing of a corner in a state official's office.
Variant translation: His exhaustion is that of the gladiator after the fight, his work was the whitewashing of one corner in a clerk's office.
Cadet corps instill discipline in its members, where you are taught basic skills such as survival in the wilderness, unarmed combat, tracking and learning how to strategise.
Our country won't go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now. There won't be any America because some foreign soldiery will invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race. Those days in the woods saved my life many a time in combat.

Chère amie, ne savez-vous pas que la vertu est un état de guerre, et que, pour y vivre, on a toujours quelque combat à rendre contre soi?

Voya Financial Publishes Corporate Responsibility Annual Report
NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today that it has published the company's most recent Corporate Responsibility Annual Report, which details the organization's corporate responsibility (CR) approach in four key areas: community investment, environmental sustainability, multicultural affairs and business practices and principles.
"Understanding that Voya's business is built on trust, integrity and transparency, we have made 'doing the right thing' a cornerstone of our culture," said Voya Financial Chairman and CEO Rodney O. Martin Jr. "At the heart of this commitment is a focus on embracing diversity and inclusion; contributing to our communities through volunteerism and corporate giving; and minimizing our impact on the planet through sustainable business practices."
The report, entitled "In Their Own Words," features thoughts and insights from Voya's board of directors, senior management and a cross-section of employees from across the company. Organized according to the four "pillars" that serve as the framework for Voya's CR strategy, the report highlights include the following:
Community Investment — through Voya Foundation grants, Voya aims to improve the quality of life in the communities where its employees and customers live and work. Voya Foundation's giving areas include children's education, financial literacy and disaster relief. This pillar also supports the company's employee volunteerism and giving efforts, as well as nonprofit board participation by senior management.
Voya's CR Report highlights the company's support of signature programs and partnerships such as the National Teacher of the Year, Voya Unsung Heroes, Junior Achievement and the Voya-Girls Inc. Investment Challenge.
In 2014, Voya Financial held its inaugural National Day of Service (NDOS). The company-wide initiative encourages Voya employees to volunteer on one single day for a wide range of causes. This initiative engaged nearly half of the company's 6,500 employees. Including the efforts of NDOS, Voya Financial employees volunteered more than 39,500 hours serving community organizations over the course of the year.
Beyond the significant amount of time volunteered, Voya Financial employees also gave generously throughout 2014 as part of the company's Employee Giving Campaign efforts. Employee donations represented $4.7 million, which included matches from Voya Foundation.
Multicultural Affairs — an inclusive culture fosters an environment in which employees can be authentic and engaged. Voya views diversity and inclusion as crucial to its high-performing culture, and to its ability to recruit and retain top talent:
In 2014, Voya Financial earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, something it has achieved for the past decade.
Through six different employee resource groups, Voya utilizes networking opportunities to encourage its diverse workforce to find greater satisfaction and success in their roles at the company. The report also highlights an interview with Elizabeth Derby, Voya's new vice president of diversity and inclusion.
Environmental Sustainability — in an effort to protect natural resources and minimize its ecological footprint, Voya looks for ways to reduce waste through environmentally responsible business practices:
In 2015, Voya Financial was recognized as one of the Top Green Companies in the U.S., making its debut on the Newsweek Green Rankings list (#78 of 500).
Since establishing sustainability benchmarks in 2007, Voya has reduced total energy usage by 39 percent. Voya also reduced its paper usage by 71 percent and landfill waste by 64 percent.
Voya Financial partners with NextEra Energy Resources to offset 100 percent of its energy use and make a measurable investment in the future of renewable energy in the U.S. Voya has been a member of the EPA's Green Power Leadership Club since 2008.
Business Practices and Principles – adhering to corporate values, maintaining a strong code of conduct and working with trusted external organizations are key business practices embraced by Voya:
Voya Financial was named to Ethisphere's list of the World's Most Ethical Companies® for the company's practices, policies and overall CR efforts.
The report features interviews with Tim Erblich, CEO of the Ethisphere Institute, and Ethisphere board member and Voya Senior Vice President and Chief Communications Officer Paul Gennaro about the role of ethics and culture within an organization.
"Corporate responsibility is a business imperative woven throughout our enterprise," added Martin. "We regard it not only as an investment in society, but also as critical to the success of Voya Financial."
As an industry leader and advocate for greater retirement readiness, Voya Financial is committed to delivering on its vision to be America's Retirement Company™ and on its mission to make a secure financial future possible — one person, one family and one institution at a time.
