Archer-Daniels Midland
Archer-Daniels Midland (ADM) is a global processing company for food and beverage, nutraceutical, industrial, and animal feed products. The company's operations have long been tied to allegations of deforestation and land-grabbing through its soy production, particularly in the Brazilian and Bolivian Amazon. Deforestation in the Amazon often begins with land speculators illegally clearing and burning large areas of forests and then selling this land to ranchers for the production of beef and soy, which then goes to ADM and other global traders.

U.S.-based Bunge is one of the world's largest commodity traders and is part of the so-called "ABCD group" made up of Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus Company, which dominate the global grain trade. In 2018, Bunge was among a group of agricultural traders fined by the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA in its Portuguese acronym) for purchasing 3,000 tons of soy and other grains from farms previously embargoed for destroying native vegetation in the Cerrado, one of Brazil's most biodiverse ecosystems.

Indofood Agri Resources
Indofood is one of Indonesia's biggest corporations. Neither Indofood nor its palm oil division IndoAgri have adequate policies and practices in place for responsible palm oil production and sourcing. Indofood Agri Resources' subsidiary London Sumatra Indonesia has been implicated in offenses including child labor, gender discrimination, and toxic working conditions. Several of Indofood's large buyers - including Nestlé, Cargill, Hershey's, Kellogg's, Unilever, and Mars - have cut ties to the company, leading Indofood Agri Resources' share price to drop by 75% between 2014 and 2018. The CEO of Indofood Sukses Makmur, Anthoni Salim, has come under scrutiny for his other palm oil businesses, which have illegally cleared substantial areas of peatlands in Borneo and been continuously embroiled in serious land conflicts in West Papua.

JBS is the largest animal protein company in the world and the leading beef processor, with operations in Brazil, Canada, the U.S., and Australia. The company has a notorious history of corruption in Brazil, where its employees and leadership have been linked to various bribery scandals, including the bribing of three Brazilian presidents and an additional 1,829 elected officials, the misappropriation of $385 million in public funds, and insider trading. Recent reports also show how JBS sources cattle from companies fined for illegal deforestation and slave labor practices in areas in the Brazilian Amazon, despite claiming to adhere to rigorous social, environmental, and traceability criteria. While JBS and its Brazilian competitors have made strides in ensuring traceability of direct cattle suppliers, they have not provided consistent assurances that farms that sell to their suppliers (secondary suppliers) are not involved in illegal deforestation and human rights abuses.

Tyson Foods is the second largest processor of chicken, beef, and pork in the world. The company has been accused of using conflict palm oil and factory-farmed meat and has an inadequate palm oil procurement policy. Tyson Foods has recently expanded operations to nine countries, significantly increasing its potential exposure to deforestation. In October 2019, the company announced it would conduct an assessment to identify deforestation risks across its supply chain and develop a Forests Protection Policy in 2020. In the U.S., the company has been involved in several lawsuits related to air and water pollution and has been fined millions of dollars by the EPA as a result.

FGV Holdings
Malaysian national palm oil conglomerate Felda Global Ventures (FGV) has long faced complaints about severe and ongoing labor abuses. In 2018, Felda was sanctioned by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil for labor violations and is currently facing a potential import ban in the U.S. due to concerns that its abusive labor practices may violate U.S. Customs laws.
Glencore
Glencore PLC, a British-Swiss commodity company, is one of the world's largest mining and agriculture conglomerates. Glencore Agriculture, in which Glencore PLC is significantly invested, is one of the larger soybean traders in Brazil. Research from 2019 finds that "Glencore Agriculture has committed to zero-deforestation value chains, but its commitments are not in line with the core principles proposed by the Accountability Framework," a set of common norms for ethical supply chain commitments in agriculture and forestry. Similarly, while Glencore has committed to monitoring its soy supply chain, it has not committed to ending deforestation in the Brazilian Cerrado, which continues at alarming levels. Glencore's mining operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo have faced allegations of corruption and bribery following the release of the Paradise Papers and have also been implicated in driving deforestation. In 2018, Glencore PLC subsidiary Glencore Ltd. was subpoenaed by the U.S. Department of Justice in relation to company operations in the DRC, Nigeria, and Venezuela. Glencore was also previously involved in mining projects in the Philippines that were suspended due to negative environmental impacts, including deforestation.
Golden Agri-Resources
As the world's second-largest palm oil company, Golden Agri-Resources (GAR) has a record of driving deforestation and land conflict while nominally engaging in apparently extensive sustainability efforts. Currently, GAR faces numerous Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) complaints, including claims that the corporation controls more than 1,000 square kilometers (386 square miles) of land in Indonesia, in excess of the legal limits, as well as complaints related to land-grabbing and an opaque corporate structure. GAR subsidiary Sinar Mas had several executives arrested for bribery in Indonesia in late 2018. Golden Veroleum Liberia (GVL), in which GAR is the primary investor and appears to maintain operational control, has failed to address RSPO and civil society demands that it stop clearing land and resolve land conflicts after being found guilty of ongoing violations in Liberia. GVL's abuses in Liberia have included illegal deforestation, destruction of endangered chimpanzee habitat, and frequent allegations of violence and coercion to forcibly take community lands.

ITOCHU
One of the largest commodity traders in Japan, ITOCHU is exposed to widespread social conflict and deforestation risks through its investments in rubber processing, as well as trade with companies involved in illegal and unsustainable pulp and paper, timber, palm oil, and natural rubber production. ITOCHU makes no commitment to no deforestation for its procurement of pulp and paper, timber, or rubber, and it lacks transparency on supply chain ESG risks and due diligence measures.
International Paper is the largest pulp and paper company in the world. The production of pulp and paper, alongside palm oil, soy, and beef, is one of the largest drivers of deforestation in the world. Clear-cutting, as well as selective logging, damages forests and ecosystems. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), around 40% of the annual industrial wood harvest globally is processed for paper and paperboard. The Forest 500 platform gives International Paper a score of 2 out of 5 for deforestation, and the Carbon Disclosure Project gives the company a grade of C for its disclosures of climate-related forest risks.
Marubeni
A major trading house in Japan with leading market shares in the pulp and paper trade, Marubeni is exposed to widespread social conflict through its pulp production in South Sumatra by its subsidiaries PT Musi Hutan Persada (PT MHP) and PT Tanjung Enim Lestari Pulp & Paper (PT TEL), and to deforestation and illegal logging risks through its trade in rainforest-derived paper and timber products. Marubeni has no policies specific to forest-risk commodities and fails to disclose relevant supply chain ESG risks or due diligence measures.

Posco International
Posco International (formerly Posco Daewoo), a subsidiary of POSCO, is Korea's biggest trading company, and operates in Papua province, Indonesia, through its subsidiary PT Bio Inti Agrindo (PT BIA). PT BIA's concession is located in Indonesia's largest intact rainforest, an ecoregion known for its extremely diverse flora and fauna, including endangered species such as the tree kangaroo and birds of paradise. Between 2012 and 2017, PT BIA was responsible for destroying 26,500 hectares, or nearly 270 square kilometers, of forest. The affected land spreads across the territories of the Mandobo and Marind indigenous clans, fueling ongoing land conflicts. Posco International's failure to adopt a credible No Deforestation approach puts its revenue at serious risk.
Since it merged with Fibria in January 2019, Brazil-based Suzano is among the largest paper and pulp companies in the world, with markets in 80 countries. It also owns the biotechnology company Future Gene, which has operations in Brazil, Israel, the U.S., and China. With over 2 million hectares of land, including over a million hectares of plantations (as of mid-2019), Suzano and its subsidiaries have instigated widespread conflicts over land with indigenous, quilombola (Afro-descendant), and other rural communities. In Bahia and Maranhão states, the company and its suppliers have been accused of land-grabbing, large-scale destruction of native forests, and psychological and physical violence. Conflicts around its Aracruz paper mill date back to 1967, when it displaced thousands of communities to establish large eucalyptus plantations - many of which continue to inhabit the region, where they face severe contamination from agrochemicals, water shortages, and criminalization. In Maranhão State, Suzano and its subsidiary Paineiras are involved in several land conflicts, with one estimate holding that 70% of the company's plantations are traceable to land grabs.

Wilmar International
Wilmar International is Asia's largest agribusiness company and the largest palm oil trader in the world with around 80 percent of its palm oil coming from third party-suppliers. Through its subsidiaries, Wilmar holds a land bank of over 1,500,000 acres in Malaysia, Indonesia, West Africa and the Congo basin. Along with its refining and trading businesses, Wilmar's operations account for about 40 percent of all globally traded palm oil. Wilmar's operations have been frequently linked with various abuses and rights violations including deforestation, land grabbing, water pollution, protracted conflicts, bribery, destruction of critical wildlife habitat and forest fires. In 2013, Wilmar adopted a No Deforestation, No Peatland Destruction, No Exploitation (NDPE) policy; however repeated civil society reports have found that its suppliers were engaged in widespread deforestation and environmental. A 2018 Greenpeace report found that Wilmar had been sourcing palm oil from at least 18 producers who were engaged in illegal deforestation and that since the adoption of its NDPE policy in 2013 its suppliers had cleared a forest area totaling 21,500 hectares.
Amazon.com is an online retailer of goods and products, including, of course, products that source palm oil, soy, cattle, timber, and pulp and paper. Forests 500 gives Amazon an extremely low ranking for its policies, scope and ambition, and its lack of reporting and implementation surrounding deforestation. Amazon has consistently failed to disclose its carbon footprint through surveys by CDP, the Carbon Disclosure Project.

Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer in the United States. Despite commitments to sustainability, multiple allegations of driving deforestation in various places in the world have persisted. Home Depot's supplier Home Legend has been linked to illegal logging, land-grabbing, and clear-cutting tropical rainforests in Papua New Guinea. Previously, Home Depot has been called out for its role in clearing ancient temperate forests, including those in British Columbia, Canada.

McDonald's, the United States fast-food company, is the world's largest restaurant chain by revenue. In 2016, the fast-food giant resumed sourcing meat from Brazil and has been linked to ongoing deforestation in the country, including widespread fires in the Amazon in 2019. The company's sourcing from Marfrig, one of the main beef producers linked to the destruction in the Amazon, has specifically come under scrutiny. In 2016, an investigation by Mongabay revealed that McDonald's may be fueling rampant deforestation in the Bolivian Amazon and Brazilian Cerrado due to its sourcing of chicken from Cargill, and the company's sourcing of soy feed has been identified as a main driver of deforestation. Despite being a signatory to the New York Declaration on Forests, being a member of the Tropical Forest Alliance, and having made multiple commitments to end deforestation in its supply chains related to beef, soy, and pulp and paper by 2020, McDonald's continues to be on the watchlist for ongoing deforestation.
Nestlé, the Swiss multinational food and beverage conglomerate, has long been accused of driving deforestation through its sourcing of conflict palm oil in Indonesia and cocoa in West Africa. In October 2019, a report linked Nestlé to illegal palm oil plantations driving widespread deforestation in the Leuser ecosystem in Sumatra, Indonesia - known as the "orangutan capital of the world." Nestlé is also linked to Indofood, which has destroyed thousands of hectares of rainforests marked for conservation. Nestlé has been accused of buying cocoa beans grown illegally inside protected areas in the Ivory Coast, contributing to a staggering 80% loss of rainforest cover since 1960.
PepsiCo is a U.S.-based multinational food and beverage company, the second largest in the world. The company has routinely come under fire for its use of conflict palm oil and for fueling deforestation, destruction of critical wildlife habitat, and human rights violations. PepsiCo partner Indofood has cleared over 10,000 hectares of forests in Indonesian Borneo, the majority of which was supposed to be protected for conservation. Similarly, PepsiCo's demand for palm oil has been linked to the destruction of the Leuser ecosystem in Sumatra, home to the last populations of critically endangered Sumatran orangutans, elephants, tigers, and rhinos.
Procter & Gamble (P&G) is a multinational consumer goods company specializing in personal health and hygiene products. The company has been tied to problematic palm oil harvesting practices in Indonesia, where suppliers are driving massive deforestation and threatening endangered Sumatran tigers and orangutans. In 2019, P&G was tied to massive forest fires in Indonesia which started on palm oil plantations that supply the company and destroyed nearly 10,000 square kilometers of forest. P&G sources some of its palm oil from Felda Global Ventures and Golden Agri-Resources (see producers list). Due to these business relations, P&G acknowledged it fell short of its goal to end deforestation in its supply chain by 2020.
Sysco is the world's largest distributor of food products to restaurants, health care facilities, universities, and hotels, with tens of billions in annual revenue. Sysco's meat suppliers include Cargill and JBS, whose operations have been dogged with allegations of deforestation and land-grabbing in the Amazon and around the world. Cargill and JBS are regularly identified as leading companies responsible for deforestation and related land rights and human rights violations. Sysco uses palm oil in a number of its products. It is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, and its palm oil policy addresses deforestation, development on peatlands, and exploitation

Walmart is the world's largest retailer. Walmart uses soy, cattle, palm oil, timber, and pulp and paper in its goods. Walmart's beef is sourced from the Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado, where unprecedented levels of deforestation have occurred in 2019. Walmart buys from commodity companies JBS and Cargill, which have been widely identified as driving deforestation in the Amazon. Walmart has a deforestation policy that covers soy, cattle, palm oil, and pulp and paper and commits to achieving zero deforestation by 2020. However, since Walmart and other members of the Consumer Goods Forum made these commitments, deforestation across the globe has actually gotten worse.

How About a Mount Everest Skydive?
Here is an article about what seems like the ultimate adventure travel experience – combining extreme high altitude activities with the thrill of jumping out of a flying machine.
The majority of Everest's visitors reach Mount Everest Base Camp by trekking along the classic trails through Nepal. This month however, there was an unconventional approach to the mountain from the sky, as part of a bid for the high-altitude parachute landing world record.
The world's highest mountain was the setting for a dramatic record-breaking attempt in September 2009 as three men jumped from a helicopter at an altitude of 6,154m, which is twice the exit altitude of an average recreational jump. Their aim was to land on a plateau called Gorak Shep (5,164m), a narrow, sandy area of open ground close to Everest Base Camp. To do this they were in freefall for only four seconds, during which they fell more than a thousand metres; they had this brief time to steady themselves before opening their chutes, after which they had to steer to safety. The whole event was over in three minutes.
It was not a feat to be attempted by the inexperienced, but the trio have accumulated more than 13,000 jumps between them. Two of the sky divers are British; veteran sky diver and cameraman Leo Dickinson and skydiving instructor Ralph Mitchell, and they were joined by Air Commodore Ramesh Tripathi from the Indian Air Force.
An outdoor adventure cameraman, Leo Dickinson is no stranger to Mount Everest (8,848 m), having filmed Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler's trek to the summit without supplementary oxygen. He has made a film about a team of canoeists who started 800 metres below Everest Base Camp and rode a freezing river down the mountain. Leo has also had airborne adventures around Everest prior to this record bid. In October 1991 he filmed the first successful balloon ride over the summit of Mount Everest, propelled over the peak by the powerful and volatile jet stream.
The three skydivers are waiting for confirmation from Guinness that they have beaten the existing the high-altitude landing world record. Last year, sky divers successfully landed on a drop zone near Everest at 3,765 metres, way below the altitude of this month's jump.
The Nepal government permitted the daredevil record attempt and are considering proposals to run regular parachute jumps in the air space around Mount Everest. It is part of a scheme to expand tourism to Nepal for Visit Nepal 2011, building upon the visitors brought by the popular Everest Base Camp Trek experience.
Kirsty Parsons is the Marketing Coordinator for Everest Base Camp Trek, an adventure website which features the classic Everest Base Camp Trek, as well as several alternative Everest trekking routes in the Himalayan region.
This would have to go down as one of the extreme adventure opportunities for these three skydivers. Just one year ago, three other skydivers (including and English woman) jumped just over a year ago, and successfully landed in a drop zone near Mount Everest.
The recent jump may well have achieved the high altitude landing record, but it is a moot point to say whether the first people were the ones with the greater level of mental challenge.
Here's your opportunity to enhance your Mount Everest experience to the Max!


I still have some hope for this machine! Have you ever played it? I'm thinking about trying it again!
Hey Ladies! Just wanted to say Hi! Where is this casino at? I don't recognize it. Don't say where i work though.
I tried to watch, the camera moved around too much, so I just listened for a few min.
Hey baby how are you guys!

Nice comeback but got dizzy from the camera work!


The Migrant Workers Convention remains a well-kept secret, and for good reason. Countries which ratify the Convention undertake to defend the full range of human rights and freedoms which migrants enjoy under international law, including (Article 26) the right to freely join a trade union to defend their interests. Were the terms of the Convention respected, states would be required to act against the abuse and rampant exploitation which are the fate of most migrant workers.
The number of international migrants today is estimated at some 232 million, the huge majority of which left home in search of work. Global production – including the IUF sectors - rests on their backs. Agriculture, hotels and restaurants, and many branches of food processing would collapse without their contributions. Despite the existence of an international treaty affirming their rights, however, migrant workers are trafficked, discriminated against, constrained to work under hazardous and debilitating conditions, locked in isolated, unhealthy and dangerous living quarters, enslaved as domestic workers, jailed and periodically interned in mass detention centers before being forcibly repatriated.
In some of the richest countries of the world, agricultural workers, who are overwhelmingly migrants, remain entirely outside the legal framework of industrial relations and social security.
The treatment of migrant workers is a basic indicator of the application and enforcement of human rights standards by each and every state. For unions internationally, the level of union organization of the migrant workforce should be regarded as a key indicator of the labour movement's overall health, bargaining strength and capacity for mobilization.
In December 2000, the United Nations declared December 18 to be International Migrants Day. Unions should celebrate this day by demanding that their governments finally ratify the Convention, but they need not wait for ratification to take action. Unions in many parts of the world are increasingly active in organizing migrants, conscious that their own future depends in large measure on their success in organizing all workers, immigrant or native born, documented or undocumented.
Take concrete action to counter racism and xenophobia.
Support a leading role of the ILO in the development of a system of coherent, global governance of migration.

10 Film Adaptations That Are Better Than the Books.
by GyanDarbar - 26/05/2018 0
Usually, books are better than the films which are based on it but sometimes opposite happens and we tried to pick 10 film adaptations which are better than novels those are based on.
1. The Devil Wears Prada
We'll just say it: Everything is better with Meryl Streep. Lauren Weisberger's novel of the same name was a New York Times bestseller in its own right, but this devilishly rich story is best told on film. Actually seeing the vibrant fashions and Miranda Priestly's stony facial expressions are worth the price of admission alone.
2. Jurassic Park
It didn't take long for Stephen Spielberg to adapt Michael Crichton's novel Jurassic Park into the film we know and love today. The book is heavy with scientific theory, and the movie's action and special effects make for a much more exciting story.
3. The Girl on the Train
The Girl on the Train is one of Hollywood's most recent book-to-movie adaptations. There's something about Paula Hawkins's story that's more satisfying to actually see than to read about. That, or maybe we just really love Emily Blunt.
4. The Princess Bride
This one sparks a hot debate between readers and moviegoers. Some argue that claiming The Princess Bride is better as a movie is — all together now — inconceivable! But others think the film version lends itself well to the fairytale fantasy and adventure. If it helps, author William Goldman adapted the screenplay himself.
5. Fight Club
Fun fact: The Fight Club movie directed by David Fincher ends differently than the Fight Club book written by Chuck Palahniuk. But we're #TeamMovie on this one, mostly because so is author Palahniuk. He once said in an interview with DVDTalk.com that he was "sort of embarrassed by the book." Why? Fincher streamlined the plot and made connections Palahniuk himself never even saw. We're sold.
6. The Notebook
Before there was Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, there was Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Many of Nicholas Sparks's books have been given the movie treatment, but none are more magical than The Notebook. What reads as sometimes sappy on the page comes brilliantly to life on the screen. Gosling and McAdams made us cheer for Noah and Allie like we've never cheered for an on-screen couple before, and together they set a new standard for romantic movies.
Forrest Gump written by Winston Groom is barely recognizable next to the film Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks. In the book, Forrest is a healthy boy who grows up to become an astronaut. In space he meets a monkey named Sue, then nearly gets eaten by cannibals when he crash-lands in the jungle. Needless to say, that got cut from the film.
Little known fact: Jumanji was originally a picture book by Chris Van Allsburg. With a few additions — like misbehaving monkeys and Robin Williams — it became one of the most beloved movies of the '90s.
9. The Godfather
The Godfather is, without a doubt, considered one of the greatest films of all time. The book by Mario Puzo is good, but the movie outshines it, thanks in large part to the performances of Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. The Godfather won a slew of awards, including the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Picture.
10. Bridget Jones's Diary
Helen Fielding's novel Bridget Jones's Diary is a funny, feel-good adaptation of Pride and Prejudice on its own. So it was hardly fair for studio executives to add the devastatingly charming Hugh Grant and Colin Firth into the equation; of course, we fell in love with them. We're calling this one Hollywood's fault.

Freeman, Mountaineers fall to 49ers in first round
Chris Crews
Michael Bragg
The Appalachian State women's basketball team had their postseason come to an end Thursday night in a 79-61 loss to UNC-Charlotte.
The first half was very close as both teams attempted to control the tempo. Charlotte would end up winning this battle and would outscore App State 26-6 in fast break points.
Charlotte's plan of attack was to pound the ball inside, outscoring App State 48-20 in the paint. Without those paint points they would have been in trouble, as they shot 1-8 from downtown.
App State, on the other hand, went 3-7 in 3-pointers and made a concerted effort to get senior Anna Freeman going. She shot the ball 16 times, more than any other player, and led the Mountaineers with 20 points.
Jennifer Hailey and Amanda Dowe, who had 20 and 19 points, respectively, led the 49ers. They both had double-doubles on the night with 16 rebounds for Dowe and 11 for Hailey.
The start of the second half seemed to show more energy from App State. However, they would soon fall back into their first half ways.
The Mountaineers kept things close until turnovers began to pile up. They ended with 20 on the night and head coach Darcie Vincent said that's when they lost their fight.
"We just had a meltdown," Vincent said. "Everything that we were doing right we decided to stop. We just gave up, we just quit, which means you're not going to do anything right, which includes making shots.
Outsized down low, Freeman said they still had the "desire" to battle.
"We showed moments when we had great desire for getting rebounds," Freeman said. "Obviously we were undersized, although sometimes the bigger heart can go get those rebounds no matter how undersized you are."
The Mountaineers finished 20-11 on the year.

Government buildings whether they are Local Government, embassies or Parliamentary are buildings of national importance. Individuals are vulnerable to personal attack and of course the buildings and people in and around them have been subject to terrorist threats and attacks.
Building security for government buildings must encompass all risks, from basic denial of unauthorised access, through to minimising collateral damage to infrastructure.
Often Government buildings also fall under the category of heritage buildings and extra consideration must be given to this when identifying the building security solutions. For high-profile buildings, such as the Houses of Parliament, the building security products must work in conjunction with all security measures in place across the wider security spectrum. It is highly unlikely that an opportunist criminal will target a building of such significance, therefore risk and tools profiles are sophisticated and dangerous.
Older properties will be more vulnerable to these sophisticated methods. Some buildings need protecting against blast attack – not just criminal or individual attacks. Therefore extensive blast protection products such as security doors, security blinds and windows need to be considered to protect the building and its occupants. If need be defence and retreat rooms can be built to protect occupants until attackers have been dealt with by security forces.

Science reveals humour bad for sharing
by Danielle Wilmot | Jul 12, 2013 | Online Video, Video Marketing |
Like any responsible video agency, Spectrecom has roughly the same response whenever any prospective client suggests that it'd be, y'know, pretty groovy if their new video could become the next virally-shared online blockbuster.
What is that response? Well, with only 2% or so of all videos placed on YouTube getting to 100,000 views or over, promising that any video will go viral is as irresponsible as giving a toddler a chainsaw as a Christmas present.
Having said that, it's also generally accepted that, dark and murky a netherworld as the online video marketing multiverse is, there are certain triggers which can help power a video to the kind of viral success that revivals of aftershave brands are built upon; the biggest and most potent such trigger being humour.
However! A brand new study has called into question just how effective humour is in prompting viral sharing.
Produced by Unruly, The Science of Sharing looked at a cross-section of Super Bowl ads from 2013 and, using 100-plus variables, found that attempted hilarity often resulted in weak social media traction.
According to the study, Super Bowl ads generated a total of 7.7million shares in 2013, up 118% on the previous year.
The best performing commercial was Brotherhood from Budweiser, a heartfelt, uplifting ad with nary a gag in sight (although, full disclosure, certain sections of the office found the cornball sincerity of its man-horse bromance pretty funny…).
Brotherhood apparently scored highly for its overall emotional journey and strong soundtrack, putting would-be funny spots from Pepsi and Coke in particular very much in the shade.
But the study also notes that the success of Brotherhood is also partly attributable to the fact that so many other campaigns attempted the humorous angle, generating a sense of fatigue and indifference amongst viewers.
So, if we are in the mood to take any lessons from this episode, then it would seem to be that standing out from the crowd puts you on as fine a road as any to finding an appreciative audience, while following the herd is the route to creative oblivion. Yes, that'll do.
Here's the horsey fun, courtesy of the beer-selling American behemoth…

Superfund PRPs to Closely Monitor Atlantic Richfield Co. v. Gregory A. Christian, et al., Set for Oral Argument December 3, 2019
Tue Nov 12th, On Environmental Law, by Krista deBoer
Atlantic Richfield Co. v. Gregory A. Christian, et al. (Case No. 17-498) is set for oral argument before the Supreme Court on December 3, 2019, and the outcome could have broad implications for private parties seeking to recoup costs from PRPs for cleanup activities that are beyond the scope of EPA's chosen remedy under CERCLA.
The case involves the Anaconda Smelter Superfund Site in Butte, Montana. Contamination from the Anaconda Smelter reached more than 300 square miles, including residential communities. A group of landowners located within the site boundaries sued Atlantic Richfield Co. ("ARCO") in Montana state court for common law trespass, nuisance, and strict liability, seeking restoration damages to restore their property to pre-contamination condition. Such damages are a common-law remedy available in Montana when damages for lost market value are inadequate to fully compensate a property owner. ARCO now owns the Anaconda Smelter that emitted arsenic and other substances which were deposited on the property owners' land. ARCO contends the state tort claims are barred by CERCLA because the landowners seek damages to fund cleanup activities beyond those ordered by EPA. Particularly noteworthy here is that the landowners' state law claims contemplated restoration work that would in part undo EPA's cleanup activities. Nonetheless, the Montana Supreme Court held the state law claims were not barred by CERCLA, and ARCO appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court invited the United States Government to submit an amicus brief, which the U.S. filed in August. And earlier this month, the Court granted the motion of the Solicitor General for leave to participate in oral argument as amicus curiae. In its amicus brief, the U.S. presented three questions: (1) whether Respondents' claims for restoration damages present a jurisdictionally barred "challenge" to an EPA response action within the meaning of Section 113(h) of CERCLA; (2) whether the landowners, by dint of location within the Superfund site are PRPs who are prohibited by Section 122(e)(6) from undertaking remedial action without EPA authorization; and (3) whether CERCLA preempts Respondents' claims for restoration damages.
If upheld, the decision by the Montana Supreme Court threatens to upend longstanding interpretation regarding the extent to which CERCLA defines the rights of parties to recover costs incurred conducting cleanup activities. ARCO argued in its Writ of Certiorari that the likely outcome of the Montana Court's holding would be "chaos"; ARCO forewarns that the decision would disincentivize PRPs to cooperate with EPA in cleanups going forward. Several amicus briefs have been filed in support of ARCO's position. The Supreme Court's decision, which is expected June 2020, is sure to be closely watched by Superfund PRPs.


Aircraft camouflage is the use of camouflage, typically in the form of light and color patterns, applied to military aircraft to make them more difficult to see on the ground, in the air, or to make their speed, distance or attitude harder to determine. Military camouflage is highly dependent upon environmental conditions and is primarily effective against human observers, though some electronic visual acquisition systems can also be confused. It does not hinder radar location or heat-seeking electronics although the paints used may contain substances that can.
Camouflage colours and patterns are subject to considerable experimentation and theorizing, and most countries have explicit specifications as to their application that are sufficiently unique to make it possible to determine the intended operator in many cases even when no national insignia is visible. The colours and patterns have changed over time, both as new theories were tried, and as operational requirements changed. During and after World War II, the Yehudi lights project explored counter-illumination camouflage using lamps to increase the brightness of the aircraft to match the background. Recent experiments have looked at the use of light-emitting active camouflage systems which allow the colours and patterns to be changed to match the background.

On any given day, 90 percent of Americans enjoy a snack, compared with only 75 percent who eat breakfast and 88 percent who eat lunch, according to the Madison, Wis.-based International Deli-Dairy-Bakery Assn.
Eagle Snacks first brought hungry airline fliers honey-roasted peanuts and the second largest snack brand during its tenure under Anheuser-Busch ownership. The brand returns to the snacking scene under Chicago-based Reserve Brands with the nationwide debut of its two new snack line products: Poppers! and Bursts!
Poppers are crunchy potato spheres with a zest-packed punch in four savory flavors: Honey Barbeque, Habanero, Sweet Onion and Salt & Vinegar. Bursts are corn puffs that come in Cinnamon & Sugar, Caramel Dulce de Leche and White Cheddar flavors.
"Eagle Snacks is back with products and flavors that reflect the palate of today's snacking constituency," says Scott Lazar, Reserve Brands president/CEO. "Discerning snackers need variety and a break from the same-old traditional snack food fare. Eagle is responding with innovative and delicious flavors and textures that provide a truly unique snacking experience to wake up tired taste buds."
Suggested retail price for a 2.5-ounce bag is $2.79.

Patrick-Murray Administration Pledges $71 Million to Build, Preserve 1,642 Housing Units
Construction of 31 rental developments in 21 communities will create an estimated 2,000 construction jobs.
Gov. Deval Patrick, D-Mass., has issued the following news release:
As part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's ongoing commitment to build strong communities by increasing affordable housing options, creating jobs and expanding economic opportunity, Governor Deval Patrick today pledged $71.37 million in resources from various affordable housing programs to support the construction of 31 rental developments in 21 communities across the Commonwealth. These funds will create an estimated 2,000 construction jobs.
"By investing this targeted blend of funds to spur housing development, we are actively strengthening our communities across Massachusetts," said Governor Patrick. "Creating affordable housing helps to generate jobs, grow local businesses, and build a better, stronger Commonwealth."
"These projects will create more affordable housing opportunities in communities across the state," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray, Chair of the Interagency Council for Housing and Homelessness. "By supporting these projects, we are also delivering options to a greater population of individuals and families, including those who earn modest wages and those transitioning from homelessness to permanent, sustainable living."
Once completed, the developments will create or preserve 1,642 units of rental housing including 1,415 affordable units for low-and moderate income families. 246 of the affordable units will be targeted for families earning less than 30 percent of the area median income. The following communities will benefit from these new developments: Barnstable, Berlin, Boston (7 projects), Cambridge (3 projects), Chelsea, Easton, Hanover, Hingham, Lawrence, Leominster, Northbridge, Pittsfield, Provincetown (2 projects), Quincy, Revere, Salem, Springfield (2 projects), Sudbury, Tyngsborough, Wareham, and Worcester.
"The federal-state partnership to redevelop St. Joseph's Church in Salem is truly an economic win-win for our community: more working families will have access to the safe and affordable housing options they need, and as a result, over 100 new jobs are expected to be created to help grow our local economy," said Congressman John Tierney.
"The six projects receiving funding in my district will create affordable housing options at a time when they're most needed," said Congressman William Keating. "One will be providing housing for homeless veterans; another is in the pre-construction phase and will thus create jobs in our community. All in all, this funding is a win for the State's South Shore and Cape communities. I commend Governor Patrick for directing this funding to such worthwhile programs."
"An investment in housing is an investment in jobs and in our neighborhoods and I'm proud the Commonwealth has reaffirmed its commitment to these values. Strong and vibrant communities are created when all our fellow citizens have access to safe and affordable housing close to their work and local schools," said Representative Kevin G. Honan, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Housing.
"Out of the 1,642 housing units supported through today's awards, 246 are targeted to extremely low-income individuals and families," said Department of Housing & Community Development Undersecretary Tina Brooks. "There is no better way to strengthen neighborhoods and put an end to homelessness than to create more permanent housing opportunities that are affordable to those at all income levels."
During the Patrick-Murray Administration's first term, the Administration provided funding commitments to over 200 affordable housing projects, representing 9,417 total units. 8,543 of those units are affordable. Within the affordable unit count, 1,473 units are reserved for individuals or households earning less than 30 percent of the area median income.
