Clif Bar & Company is an American company that produces organic foods and drinks. The company's flagship product, CLIF Bar, was created by Gary Erickson. The company is based in Emeryville, California and is privately held.[1] In April 2013, Kevin Cleary was named CEO of the company; co-owners Erickson and Kit Crawford became co-chief visionary officers.[2]
Clif Bar products include CLIF Bar energy bar, CLIF Crunch Bar, CLIF Mojo Bar, CLIF Shot Hydration Drink and Protein Recovery, CLIF Mojo; LUNA, The "70% Organic" Whole Nutrition Bar for Women; CLIF Kid, Nourishing Kids in Motion, including Zbar, Zfruit rope, and Zfruit + Veggie rope, and new in 2013, KIT's Organic Fruit and Seed Bars.[3] All products use organic ingredients. Seventy percent of the company's purchased ingredients are certified organic.[4]
Company history[edit]
A baker and former mountain guide,[5] Erickson got the idea for his product in 1990 on a day-long, 175 mile bike ride, for which he packed a variety of energy bars.[6][7] Two years later after experimenting in his mother's kitchen, he settled on a recipe for what would become the CLIF Bar.[8] Erickson tried several names — including Forza, Torque, and Gary's Bar — before settling on CLIF Bar, named after his father Clifford.[9] The packaging image of a rock climber was first drawn by Doug Gilmour on a napkin over dinner in San Francisco.[9] At a September 1991 bike show, Erickson debuted three flavors: double chocolate, apricot, and date oatmeal. In its first year, sales of CLIF Bar exceeded $700,000, fueled primarily by strong sales in bike shops and the growth of the healthy and natural foods movement.[6] Sales doubled each year, and by 1997, revenue surpassed $20 million.[10] In 1997, the company name was changed from Kali's SportNaturals to Clif Bar & Company.[11] In 2010 the company moved into a new headquarters in the EmergyTech Building in Emeryville, California.[12] Designed by ZGF Architects LLP, the former manufacturing plant earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum status.[13] The building was re-purposed and sustainably-designed with photovoltaic panels, solar thermal panels, reclaimed wood, plants and other biophilic features.[14]
In March 1999, Clif Bar introduced LUNA Bar, which was specifically marketed towards women. In April 2000, Erickson turned down a $120 million offer from Quaker Oats to buy the company.[15]
Clif Bar & Company was ranked the No. 1 brand in the Forbes "Breakaway Brands" survey, conducted by Landor Associates using Young & Rubicam's BrandAsset Valuator database measuring brand momentum from 2006 to 2009.[16]
Other ventures[edit]
Erickson and Crawford founded the Clif Bar Family Foundation in 2006.[17] The foundation committed $1 million to promote organic seed research and conserve crop genetic diversity.[4]
Erickson and Crawford also own the Clif Family Winery & Farm in the Napa Valley, which had its first national release in 2008.[18]
Environmental sustainability[edit]
Clif Bar has instituted policies intended to make a more green-friendly business. The company switched to organic ingredients and eliminated shrink-wrap, thereby saving 90,000 pounds of plastic and $400,000 annually, and invested in wind energy to offset fossil fuel usage.[19]
In 2007, Clif Bar began giving employees $6,500 (taxed) to switch to bio-diesel or high-mileage hybrid cars to reduce fuel consumption.[7] As a bio-diesel incentive program, "Cool Commute" was the first of its type nationwide and drew praise from Al Gore for helping to aid the fight against global warming.[20] In 2008, the company began giving employees up to $500 to purchase a commuter bike, with annual rewards up to $960 for getting to work on foot, bicycle, or public transportation.[21] The company also began offering employees up to $1,000 annually to make eco-improvement to their homes, such as insulation, solar panel installation, and new windows.[22] In April 2009, Clif Bar joined Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy, a coalition of companies including Nike, eBay and The North Face, with the goal of passing progressive climate and energy legislation.[23]
The company's business practices are not without controversy, however. In 2012, Clif Bar came under fire for not disclosing where they source their chocolate from.[24] According to the nonprofit Food Empowerment Project (F.E.P.), two West African countries, Ghana and the Ivory Coast, supply 75 percent of the world's cocoa market. In recent years, a handful of organizations and journalists have exposed the widespread use of child labor and, in some cases, slavery on West African cocoa farms.[25] Volunteers with F.E.P. contact companies that make vegan products containing chocolate to find out if they source their cocoa beans from areas where slavery can still be found.[26] F.E.P. first contacted Clif Bar in May 2011, and the company has refused to disclose the source of its chocolate.[27] The nonprofit launched a campaign in March 2012 asking consumers to contact Clif Bar and demand transparency in light of the possible connection to child labor and human slavery.[24] On March 5, 2012, Clif Bar & Company announced that "100 percent of cocoa ingredients for CLIF Bar will be sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms." [28]
Company culture[edit]
In June 2010, Clif Bar initiated an employee stock ownership program (ESOP), which gave 20 percent ownership of the company to its employees, with Crawford and Erickson retaining the other 80 percent.[29][30]
Company facilities include an on-site gym, rock climbing wall, two yoga room/dance studios, and massage rooms. There are on-site showers so employees can shower after their workout. Employees also have access to free counseling and life coaching.[31] Employees can bring their dogs to work and get two and a half hours of paid exercise each week with free personal training. Clif Bar & Company was named among Outside magazine's Best Places to Work in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.[32][33][34][35][36]
In November of 2014 Clif Bar made a decision to limit risky behavior by its sponsored athletes stating "going forward we will not be sponsoring climbers who are primarily recognized for free-soloing, B.A.S.E. jumping and high-lining. This change in sponsorship approach did not come without great debate." They reasoned that "[They] no longer feel good about benefitting from the amount of risk certain athletes are taking in areas of the sport where there is no margin for error; where there is no safety net." [37]
Community outreach[edit]
Clif Bar's community outreach began in 2001 with the initial aim of donating 2,080 employee volunteer hours to community service.[38] In 2010, Clif employees donated 5,290 hours.[39] In 2008, Clif Bar initiated "In Good Company", which organizes employees across several companies to assist in larger development projects, such as in New Orleans, East Oakland, and the Hopi Reservation in Arizona.[40]

Para World is a 2006 PC strategy game by the German company SEK.It revolves around three scientists who each discover evidence that leads them to conclude that a parallel universe exists. Before they can announce their findings to the world, they are dumped in the parallel universe by a sinister group (the SEAS) who has dominated it for the past century and left to fend for themselves. Fortunately for them, they manage to secure the trust of the natives, and so rally the inhabitants of the parallel world to rebel against the SEAS' rule.This parallel world is inhabited by dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, which the native tribes have managed to train as beasts of war. The Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot approach defines these and the other units in the game. It is possible to have a fight involving ninjas riding dinosaurs, vikings, and steampunk robots.The game's most notable feature is the Army Controller, a panel on the left of the screen displaying every unit you control and what they are doing. While offering an incredibly convenient method of controlling units, the obscurity of the game means that it failed to be as revolutionary as the box touted.

I am a bass player by trade. One of my favorite bass players is Adam Clayton from U2. His playing is often disparaged by musicians. This criticism stems from an old argument in music about technical ability vs. feel. I also believe that some people don't understand the idea that within a band people have different roles and those roles are crucial to creating the sound of a band.
Keith Langford, the drummer in The Gourds and Shinyribs, and I often have a discussion about musical roles in bands and we use a football analogy. We often talk about how someone needs to stay home and block. In each band there is usually a member that provides the glue in which keeps the song together while the other musicians play more expressive roles. In different bands this role is held by different instruments. In U2 Adam Clayton usually stays home to block while the Edge floats above him playing unique sounds and Larry Mullen Jr. plays polyrhythmic drum parts. In New Order there is usually a rhythm guitar, keyboard, or sequencer part holding things together while Peter Hook, the bass player, flies around the higher end of the neck playing melodic lines. One of the bands that breaks this rule is the Who. Although Pete Townshend's rhythm guitar is the thing that most often glues the band together, they are all often being expressive which leads to the chaotic nature of their sound which you can hear on an album like Live at Leeds. But most bands are not like the Who. Most bands have at least one person staying home providing the foundation for the song. Someone needs to subdue their ego so that other members of the band have freedom of expression.
Although there are definitely periods where I see the point in criticizing Adam Clayton, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb comes to mind as he is playing nothing but root notes the entire record, for a good portion of U2's career he has created simple memorable lines that form the bedrock for U2's songs. I view his playing as being very Zen like. He plays the fewest notes possible, but crafts them in such a way that they are memorable and functional. There are many U2 songs, Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World, New Years Day, and Bullet the Blue Sky being a few, where you could hear the bass line by itself and recognize the song. Not only are these bass lines recognizable and hooky, but they also serve the songs functionally as they allow the other musicians to play in an expressive manner. These are parts carved out of stone until only what is absolutely needed is left.
Adam Clayton also has great tone and feel. Their 90's albums, Acthung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop, are especially full of great bass performances. These are also records which are centered around strong grooves. I particularly love the groove on Until the End of the World. Or listen to his performance during the chorus of Mysterious Ways. It is only four notes but it feels and sounds incredible. In Bill Flanagan's excellent U2 book Until the End of the World, he talks about, and I agree with this assessment, that a beat is like a target. One can play on either side of the bulls-eye and doesn't necessarily have to hit the target dead on. Adam Clayton plays in a slightly dubby behind the beat style. Larry Mullen Jr. often plays right on top of the beat. Between the two of them they create a great foundation for which the songs can be built on.
Although Adam Clayton has always worked with great producers like Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, which definitely help him to achieve a great bass sound, a lot of the sound of bass is how you approach it with your right hand if you are a right handed player. How you pluck the strings with either your fingers or pick, and Clayton does both, goes along way in determining the sound of the bass. The sound of a bass relies slightly less on technology than the sound of a guitar does.
There are plenty of great technical bass players, and Adam Clayton certainly does not fit that bill. However, if you look at the roll that he plays in allowing his band to do what it does, and listen to the tone and feel of his playing there is a great deal to appreciate. Taking three or four notes, and making them the perfect three or four notes, is something every player should try to achieve once in awhile. Subvert the ego and aim for a certain Zen like aesthetic. You just might create the most essential part of something while doing the least amount of work.
