Sharon Osbourne introduced the DUCHESS OF YORK Sarah Ferguson onto her talk show this morning (13JAN04), with a flurry of expletives.
The rock matriarch got tongue-tied while welcoming the former royal onto THE SHARON OSBOURNE SHOW and stuttered "s**t, f**k and b*****ks" before saying, "Would you please join me in welcoming the amazing Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York."
But the embarrassment soon turned to mutual admiration when Ferguson revealed she'd bought the single CHANGES - the duet featuring Sharon's husband Ozzy Osbourne and daughter KELLY.
Sharon cooed at the end of the interview, "I have to say you are really an incredible woman. It's really been my pleasure to meet you - I've never met a Duchess before!"13/01/2004 21:43

Wondering why a few conservative friends are less than impressed.

- This week, we find angry rejection of Trumpian 'Alternative Facts'. The Seattle Pi points out the lessons of Earth Day and the March for Science is that science trumps lies, liars, and alternate … well … you know.
- The March for Science was supposed to be non-partisan, above politics. PZ Myers, argues that the entire movement is political, that it very much is partisan, and that it ought to be.
- Science, and most informed people, embrace the principle that a hypothesis that requires the fewest assumptions to explain known facts is usually closest to truth: Occam's Razor.

It's one of the better arguments for the binary view that seems to dominate most extremism: no middle ground.

Trump, Kim, and the Nedelin Disaster
Mitrofan Nedelin set off an explosion in the Soviet Empire in 1960 that killed an amazing number of scientists.
He also managed to leave a lesson for North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-un, and for President Trump.

It Is Not A Time For Democrats To Celebrate (Yet)
From Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger:
…about half of the public thinks the job being done by the Republican-dominated 115th Congress is hurting the chances of Republican candidates this year. Only 25% think those candidates are helped, and 25% think it will have no impact or are unsure of the impact.
Some Democrats may think that is cause for celebration, especially when combined with the performance of the Democratic candidates in Kansas and Georgia special elections. I disagree.
Fondly Remembering Obama – 4/21/2017
Trump, Kim, and the Nedelin Disaster
The almost instant explosion of the North Korean missile test launch brings to mind another missile failure, with deadly consequences and a remarkable change in the direction of world history.
In October, 1960, the Soviet Union was basking in technological triumph. Just three years before, they had put the very first satellite into space. Sputnik circled the globe, transmitting a high pitched pulse that could be picked up by anyone with a ham radio. Students at Columbia University in New York detected the signal and began broadcasting it on the school's FM station.
The pulsing signal lasted for about 3 weeks before the batteries on the satellite died. Three months later Sputnik's orbit decayed enough to bring it down. But the orbit was a first. It shook the world.
It was a demonstration of Soviet technology. Premier Nikita Khrushchev carried the message, boasting about the superiority of Soviet science.
In 1959 the USSR and the United States held a sort of cultural exchange, opening cross exhibitions. When Vice President Richard Nixon arrived at the opening of the American exhibit in Moscow, he was greeted by Khrushchev. In the American model kitchen, the two debated.
There are some instances where you may be ahead of us–for example in the development of the thrust of your rockets for the investigation of outer space. There may be some instances, for example, color television, where we're ahead of you.
Richard Nixon to Nikita Khrushchev, July 24, 1959
But Sputnik was not simply a technological wonder. It wasn't television. It wasn't even the investigation of space. It was a warning about the future of military might.
Both countries had nuclear weapons and bombers designed to deliver them in the event of war. But a country that could send a satellite over the sky of any part of the world could claim the ability to do the same with a thermonuclear weapon.
The Soviet empire had the ability to send a satellite over any country in the world. The United States did not. What other capabilities did the Soviet Union now possess?
Nikita Khrushchev intended to demonstrate just what the Soviet empire could do. October 1960 would mark the 43rd anniversary of the communist revolution in Russia. Khrushchev wanted to surprise the world with a test launch of a new missile, the largest ever made. The new ICBM would clearly be capable of carrying a nuclear weapon pretty much anywhere the Kremlin wanted it to go.
To make sure the launch was ready in time for the anniversary, Khrushchev put in charge of the project the toughest, meanest military officer he knew. Mitrofan Nedelin fit the bill. He had been pushing the development of military technology ever since the Second World War. He didn't know much about nuclear physics, but he had kicked his subordinates and technicians into bigger and more powerful rockets. He had accidentally helped produce the technology that put Sputnik in space.
And he had the disposition of a poison viper.
In 1956, after a successful nuclear test explosion, a private banquet was held to honor the most prestigious scientist in Russia. Andrei Sakharov had led Soviet nuclear development and the test was a major triumph. At that banquet, Sakharov proposed a toast, hoping the weapon they had developed would never have to be used in war.
Field Marshal Nedelin stood and looked straight at the scientist as he responded coldly. Without smiling, he told a crude, sexually explicit joke the point of which was that scientists had better work at pleasing those in the Kremlin. The generals would decide on war, and scientists would perform as directed.
Sakharov later confessed that he had never felt more intimidated.
Mitrofan Nedelin might not know much about technology, but he knew a lot about intimidation. He could kick ass until people bled, and he enjoyed doing just that. As the Soviet anniversary drew near, it looked as if he would have to swing into action.
A major problem with the new giant booster rocket was that the supposedly solid-stored, leak proof fuel was not behaving. Leaks were springing through pipes. It was already October and the basics were still being covered. It was time to put the hammer down.
He told technicians to stop slacking off. He called in more technicians. Things got crowded. Technical people were stepping over each other. He had them working around the clock. Word was that some had gone without sleep for days.
He rejected excuses and delays. Redundancies were scrapped. When technicians protested that delays were simply caused by routine safety precautions, he told them the precautions were unacceptable. What precautions would there be in the event of war?
As the self-imposed deadline approached, he decided to up the pressure. He pretty much moved his office, including his desk and chair, outside next to the giant booster rockets so that lazy personnel could see his cold stare.
He ordered top scientists in from around the country to join him in supervising the emergency repairs. Slowdowns would not be permitted. The push was on. At one point, mammoth fuel tanks had been scheduled to be emptied while welding was performed. But even that simple precaution was scrapped. It would take too long.
In the end, a tired technician left a gauge on a simple valve in the wrong position. In normal times, it would have been only one of many safety barriers. But this had ceased to be normal. It was the only safety check left.
One spark was all that was needed. The massive explosion lit the sky for miles around. The fireball was was bigger than a football stadium.
Mitrofan Nedelin was vaporized. So were a large, very large, fraction of all the ranks of top Soviet missile, space, and military scientists. The highest echelon of Soviet military officers was decimated. Nobody knows for sure how many hundreds of technicians were killed. What is known is that those who were not turned to gaseous fumes in the first microseconds died horribly.
The catastrophe was a closely held state secret for decades. Even families of the dead were fed made up stories – fake news – about airline crashes and fatal accidents. The deception went on for almost 30 years. In 1989, the tottering Soviet government finally admitted the truth.
The talent lost in the Nedelin Disaster put the Soviet Union so far behind in the space race, there was no hope they could ever maintain their lead, or later catch up. Their military missile program had crashed and burned with their top people.
I thought again about that fiery night as I heard about the missile that exploded over North Korea in a spectacularly unsuccessful test. Dictator Kim Jong-Un has long been regarded as residing somewhere within a spectrum running from recklessness to madness. The paranoid who runs North Korea kills family and top aides if he even suspects they might look at him with anything other than worshipful joy.
President Obama is said to have ordered cyber-intrusions designed to produce malfunctions in North Korean missile tests. But it occurs to me that pressure to perform quickly could have been a distant echo of the Nedelin explosions in the old Soviet empire. How much did hard-nosed deadlines push fearful technicians into premature launch? Forceful madness is dangerous when it is combined with nuclear development. We can be thankful for the weaknesses that can also accompany insanity.
US policy is in the hands of an impulsive new President who too often strikes too quickly, with too little thought. His decisions are rash. He is a captive of his own ignorance, unwilling to learn, unaware that there is anything he does not already know that is worth knowing. His recent boasts show that he does not know, and is unaware that he does not know, the most basic facts about the current crisis in Korea.
North Korea's dictator only came to be in charge of that imprisoned country in the last couple of days of 2011. That would be five years ago.
I hope things work out well. I hope there's going to be peace, but they've been talking with this gentleman for a long time.
You read Clinton's book. and he said, "Oh, we made such a great peace deal" and it was a joke. You look at different things over the years with President Obama. Everybody has been outplayed.
They've all been outplayed by this gentleman. And we'll see what happens. I just don't telegraph my moves.
President Trump, interviewed by Fox News
President Trump does not know much about the petulant young man who took over North Korea 5 years ago. He does not know who he is (this gentleman). He does not know how long he has ruled.
But he intends to be tougher with the young dictator than was Bill Clinton.
Kim Jung Un was not in power when Bill Clinton was first elected President. He was 8 years old. He was 16, and also not yet in power, when Bill Clinton left office.
You read Clinton's book. and he said, "Oh, we made such a great peace deal" and it was a joke.
President Trump does not know that Kim was not in power when Barack Obama took office, or how Obama dealt with the young dictator once he took over.
You look at different things over the years with President Obama. Everybody has been outplayed.
The young madman in North Korea does not represent the only opportunity our President will have for deadly mistakes.
Unlike Kim, President Trump is not a madman. But neither was Field Marshal Nedelin.
Decades after that night of fire and death, Mitrofan Nedelin is still honored by official Russia as a hero whose tough attitude pushed and prodded Russia into the space age.
But in the town that hosts the space launch facility, feelings are a little different. Streets in Baikonur are named for some of the more famous victims of that catastrophe.
Nosov Street is named for scientist Aleksandr Nosov, chief of the Sputnik launch team. Test pilot Yevgeny Ostashev is also honored with a street. And there are other streets and lanes that carry other names of the honored dead of the Nedelin Disaster.
There is no Mitrofan Nedelin Street in Baikonur. There is no monument, no plaque. People in the area, proud of their heroes, prefer not to speak of the hard-nosed take-no-excuses officer who orchestrated fiery death that still burns in the memory of those witnesses who are still among the living.
We who see danger in impulsive leadership, leadership scornful of sober deliberation, scornful of knowledge itself, we can envision the worst as we hope for the best.
We pray that wisdom may find its place in the mind of our new President.
We can be a little more hopeful as we pray for wisdom on the part of those who surround him.
For those of us who have difficulty with even that limited visionary hope … well … we can always pray for simple luck.
We all pray that we need never decide what streets to name.

- My conservative friend T. Paine, at Saving Common Sense, presents a beautiful country Christian rendition of a dialogue between Mary and Jesus as the crucifixion looms. He accompanies the beautiful video with a passage from the Improperia. The chosen segment is a piece of antisemitism that survives from ancient Catholic liturgy. Although in sharp decline, the sentiment continues in much of Christianity.
A decade or so ago, I was invited to help narrate an annual Cantata at the United Methodist Church I attend. The narration contained a passage similar to the liturgical piece provided by my conservative friend. I objected to a paragraph lamenting that the same crowd praising Jesus on Palm Sunday now stood before Pilate demanding his death. I was allowed to make a substitution.
The quote from Mr. Paine is as explicit, portraying Jesus as specifically accusing Jews. "I led you out of the land of Egypt, and you prepared a cross for me. I opened the Red Sea before you, and you opened my side with a lance."
This is more than a transparently absurd accusation. It is part of a broader historical narrative, the basis for centuries of brutal persecution.
In fact, Jesus was not tortured and murdered because he had suddenly become unpopular with the captive Jewish nation. He was crucified by the Roman Empire because he was too popular.

Fran Reilly joined Extratime.ie in February 2015 having previously written for the Drogheda/Fingal Independents, loi19.com and the Cork City matchday programme. Though only part of the ET family for a relatively short time, the Donaghmede native has already had the opportunity to cover League of Ireland clubs both domestically and in Europe, as well as Republic of Ireland internationals. He can count Martin O'Neill, Roy Keane and Dutch footballing legend Ruud Gullit amongst those he has come face-to-face with during his line of ET work. He still hopes to someday meet Henrik Larsson.

 Fran was once sent to watch Lionel Messi play in the Aviva Stadium for Barcelona but left feeling underwhelmed as his performance fell some way short of replicating Wes Hoolahan's against Deportivo la Coruna in August 2004. That famous night was enough to make Fran a Shels fan and he even pulled on the red shirt himself once for Owen Heary's tribute match in November 2013. Hilariously, he saw a penalty saved by unforgiving goalkeeper Lee Murphy, then at Bohemians.

 His one day spell as a member of the Extratime media six-a-side panel fared no better, his status as a reporter coming under threat following a string of less than inspirational performances. However, he convinced the ET hierarchy to persevere with him so he lingers on, covering whatever clubs he can reach by public transport. You can follow Fran on Twitter (@FranTomReilly) where he spends most of his time retweeting other people's LOI views and news and claiming them as his own.

Euro 2016 Report: Ukraine 0 - 1 Poland
Published: June 22, 2016
Perhaps John O'Shea is the reason Robert Lewandowski hasn't scored in his last five internationals. The fear. (Credit: Andy McDonnell)
A Jakub Blaszczykowski goal was enough to give Poland a 1-0 win over Ukraine in Marseille and to secure second place in Group C.
The Poles will now face Switzerland, runners-up in Group A, in the last-16 on Saturday in Saint Etienne. As for Ukraine, their Euro 2016 tournament is over after suffering three losses from three games, though they were much improved from their first two defeats in this match.
Mykhailo Fomenko's side will feel aggrieved to come away with nothing having finished the match with 64% possession and 19 attempts on goal to Poland's nine.
In the end, only one attempt mattered, Blaszczykowski's excellent close range finish following a neatly worked short corner routine being the difference. With that goal, the 30 year old became the first Polish player to score in two different European Championships.
Poland flew out of the traps, with Arkadiusz Milik stinging Ukrainian 'keeper Andriy Pyatov's palms early on when he broke through down the left side. However, it was Robert Lewandowski who should have had Adam Nawalka's side ahead as early as the third minute.
The ball fell to him in a perfect position inside the area, but with the whole goal to aim at the Bayern Munich striker fired over the bar. He has now gone five games without a goal for Poland.
Ukraine had a bright start themselves, with Michal Pazden needing to be sharp to get across the box to block an Andriy Yarmolenko effort on goal. The Dynamo Kiev winger then wasted Ukraine's best chance of the game in the 17th minute.
The Polish backline was caught high up the pitch and Yaramolenko broke free down the right side. However, when one-on-one with Poland 'keeper Lukasz Fabianski, he fired wide of the top corner. A glorious chance squandered.
Kamil Glik thought he put Poland ahead in the 21st minute when Milik picked him out in the box, but the defender's header went just over the bar.
Eight minutes later, Yevhen Konoplyanka drifted inside from the left flank and attempted to beat Fabianksi at his near-post, but his shot flew just wide with the 'keeper looking like he had it covered.
Three minutes after the restart, Oleksandr Zinechenko powered a header over the bar from a Konoplyanka cross. A goal was coming from somewhere and it would be Poland who broke the deadlock in the 54th minute.
Milik played a short corner to Bartosz Kapustka before taking the return pass on the corner of the box. The Ajax frontman slipped a reverse ball into the unmarked Blaszczykowski.
With plenty sill to do inside the area, the Dortmund winger – who spent last season on loan at Fiorentina – rolled the ball with his right foot past Ukraine skipper Ruslan Rotan on the right-hand side of the six yard box before firing an unstoppable left-footed effort high into the top corner, giving Pyatov no chance.
Kapustka almost doubled the lead immediately when he shot just wide of the near-post after cutting inside, but Ukraine race up the other end and passed up a succession of chances through Zinechenko, Konoplyanka, Yarmolenko and Roman Zozulya.
For all their huffing and puffing, Ukraine couldn't find a way through and Poland's record of having never lost when Blaszczykowski has scored remains intact. It was his 17th goal for Poland and it ensured a first win for him over Ukraine at the fourth attempt.
Ukraine: Andriy Pyatov; Artem Fedetskiy, Yevhen Khacheridi, Oleksandr Kucher, Bohdan Butko; Andriy Yarmolenko, Taras Stepanenko, Ruslan Rotan, Yevhen Konoplyanka; Oleksandr Zinchenko (Viktor Kovalenko, 73); Roman Zozulya (Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, 90+2).

Whitaker takes prestigious prize in poetry
"The Blue Hour" wins 2016 Brittingham Prize in Poetry
UNCG English Professor and Director of the University Writing Center Jennifer Whitaker has won the 2016 Brittingham Prize in Poetry for her manuscript "The Blue Hour."
Since 1985 the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of English has awarded the Brittingham Prize annually to the best book-length manuscripts of poetry, as selected by nationally recognized poets. Denise Duhamel chose the 2016 winner.
Winners are published by the University of Wisconsin Press. "The Blue Hour" is Whitaker's first book.
"The Blue Hour" is steeped in the fairy tale motifs that she developed a passion for as a graduate student. But unlike pop-culture fairy tales, "The Blue Hour" promises no happy endings. Her poems often meditate on remorse, familial abuse and incest.
"Fairy tales are my way of dealing with that complexity," Whitaker said. "Fairy tales are the container that I try to pour these stories and difficulties into."
Whitaker said that many of the concepts explored in "The Blue Hour" are ones that she had experimented with as a graduate student in UNCG's MFA program in Creative Writing.
She adds that the creative writing faculty fostered a sense of community between the students, which gave her the support she needed as an aspiring poet.
"Being in the MFA program taught what it's like to be in a community of writers," Whitaker said. "It was supportive, so I could fight against my worst nature to stay holed up in my apartment and write."
UNCG alumni have won the Brittingham Prize in Poetry for the past two years. Christina Stoddard, another graduate of UNCG's Creative Writing MFA program, won the 2015 Brittingham Prize for her manuscript, "Hive."
For Whitaker, winning the Brittingham is one of the greatest achievements in her career so far.
Whitaker said, "Overwhelmed is an understatement."

HVI Certified Ventilation Performance Programs Offer Product Reliance, Peace of Mind
The Home Ventilating Institute (HVI), the foremost association of manufacturers of home ventilating products, provides HVI Certified Ventilation Performance programs to offer peace of mind to builders, installers, and consumers who are buying and installing residential ventilation products. Members of HVI include manufacturers and distributors who have had their products tested and certified according to the HVI procedures. The HVI label on certified products is the consumer's assurance that the certified air flow and sound ratings for the ventilation equipment are the result of tests performed by an independent laboratory. Purchasing a home ventilation product with the HVI Certification label ensures that the product lives up to the performance claims. "Today's tightly built homes need mechanical ventilation to assure a healthy indoor environment. The HVI Label on a product, showing that the manufacturer has chosen to participate in HVI's program for Certification, Verification and Challenge, is the best proof that a ventilation product will perform as advertised," said HVI Board of Directors Chairman Ola Wettergren of Fantech, Inc.
Every home needs proper ventilation to protect families from unhealthy indoor pollutants and buildings from excess moisture and heat. The Home Ventilating Institute rigorously tests residential ventilation products for airflow, sound, and energy performance utilizing world class, independent testing laboratories. The performance of HVI Certified products is assured by a verification program that regularly purchases and re -tests products from the marketplace.
Products Certified by HVI include:
• Bathroom Fan -A fan primarily intended for exhausting air from a bathroom, but may include other functions such as lighting and/or heating.
• Downdraft Kitchen Exhauster - A fan located adjacent to the cooking appliance at or near countertop level that has an air inlet for removing and exhausting cooking contaminants.
• Energy Recovery Ventilator - A mechanically powered ventilating device with separate intake and exhaust air streams, and a heat exchanger to transfer a portion of the total energy (heat and moisture) from one air stream to the other.
• Heat Recovery Ventilator - A mechanically powered ventilating device with separate intake and exhaust air streams, and a heat exchanger to transfer a portion of the sensible energy (heat) from one air stream to the other.
• Inline Fan -A fan designed to be located within the building structure inline with the ductwork on both intake and exhaust sides
• Integrated Supply and Exhaust Ventilator - A ventilating device with both exhaust and supply systems that mix the fresh air with a certain amount of recycled air (sometimes called a balanced ventilator).
• Kitchen Fan - An exhaust fan, mounted in the ceiling or wall, ducted or directly discharging contaminants from a kitchen.
• Kitchen Range Hood - A ducted exhauster for use over cooking equipment that captures contaminants by buoyancy and exhausts them outside the house.
• Other Room Exhaust Fan - An exhaust fan designed for mounting in the ceiling or wall in any room, except the kitchen.
• Power Attic Ventilator (PAV) - An exhaust fan intended to remove air from an unoccupied attic.
• Remote Mounted Exterior Ventilator - An exhaust fan intended for mounting in an exterior location, usually connected by ducts to an interior device such as a downdraft intake, a range hood shell, or an exhaust grille.
• Whole House Comfort Ventilator - A ceiling mounted exhauster that moves relatively large volumes of air out of the house, drawing intake air through open window(s) to provide increased comfort through velocity cooling.

The government is determined to defeat extremism and terrorism in all its forms.
Extremism is the vocal or active opposition to our fundamental values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and respect and tolerance for different faiths and beliefs. We also regard calls for the death of members of our armed forces as extremist. (Source: Counter Extremism Strategy, October 2015)
Terrorism is defined as action designed to influence the government or intimidate the public, done for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause, which endangers or causes serious violence to people or property, or which seriously disrupts an electronic system. (Source: Terrorism Act, 2000) One of our greatest current challenges is the global rise of Islamist extremism and the threat posed by Daesh (also referred as Isis, Isil, Islamic State or IS). Daesh's terrorist activity and its social-media output have led to an unprecedented number of attacks carried out in its name, exporting the threat to countries with little or no history of terrorism, and they have also encouraged young British people to travel to conflict zones.
We also face a threat from extreme rightwing groups, who share an ideology based on intense hostility to minorities and a belief that violence between ethnic and religious groups is inevitable. Alongside antisemitism and racism, hostility to Islam has become a common element of these groups.

I would split the money between the Salvation Army, Red Cross and United Way because they come to to the rescue when people suffer tragedy. It is nice to know that they will be there to help despite the sacrifices their workers have to go through to help others.in tramatic and harsh environments. It is because of these agencies who help others throughout the world that many have been successful. During these financial hardship days, they need our financial support more than ever to continue helping disaster victims when the need arises.

As previously seen on the CSRHub blog.
By Bahar Gidwani
Part 3 of a 5-part series
In the previous posts in this series, we showed that there is a strong correlation between brand strength as measured by the Brand Finance Brand Strength Index and sustainability as measured by CSRHub's metrics engine. We promised to examine more closely whether or not the correlation we discovered is meaningful.
There are several ways to test the strength of the correlation between two sets of data. The easiest is to estimate the probability that an observed correlation is actually zero (no correlation). This probability is expressed via an "F" value. An F value equal to one would indicate that the chance that the observed correlation is zero is the same as the chance that it is non-zero. Given the ~1,000 data points we have, an F value above 4 would indicate only a 5 percent chance that the observed correlation is zero. The "F" value for our simple brand value versus CSR correlation is 289.9—for our correlation of all CSR factors against brand value the F value is 31.8. Both results suggest a vanishingly small chance that there is no correlation between the data sets.
Statistics for Brand Strength Index vs CSRHub Overall Rating
Another test is to see if splitting a data set randomly into two groups causes any change in the observed correlation. This simple test often reveals that a correlation comes from the combined effect of a few outliers or some other artifact of the data. We used a random number generator to divide our scores in half. Of course, splitting the data set reduces the total number of data elements in each sample. However, over several trials, our correlation coefficient remained between 0.21 and 0.23.
Is the relationship spurious?
Could we be seeing only a spurious relationship between our data sets that is caused by them both being correlated with a third factor? It is impossible to rule out this type of problem—there are too many possible third factors to consider. However, we can at least test a couple reasonable alternate explanations.
For instance, could both brand strength and sustainability be positively correlated with enterprise value? We have tested this idea and see that while there is a fairly strong correlation between BSI and enterprise value, there is only a weak correlation for CSRHub's ratings.
Comparison of correlation with enterprise value for BSI and CSRHub Rating
If we include enterprise value in our regression, the correlation coefficient between enterprise value plus CSRHub score and the Brand Strength Index rises to 0.39. The T statistics for both the CSRHub rating and enterprise value dependent variables are highly significant–well above the 3.3 needed to support a 99.9 percent confidence that these correlations are non-zero. From this, we can conclude that enterprise value could explain a portion of the relationship between brand strength and sustainability, but not all of it.
Correlation between BSI and both enterprise value and CSRHub Overall Rating
Could the correlation we have discovered exist only for companies in "branded" industries and not hold true for other areas? We split our sample and examined the correlation for each type of company. As you can see, there appears to be relatively little difference in the correlation by industry type.
Comparison of correlation for brand-focused and non-brand focused companies
As we noted in our previous post, correlation is not a proof, but it can be a "hint." We believe that we have shown strong evidence that brand and sustainability are connected. We will next look at how that relationship has changed over time.

Trump says Democrats 'made up' allegations of Russia interference
Will FBI squash Trump bug story?
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday accused Democrats of making up allegations that Russia interfered in last year's election, and said Congress and the FBI should be going after media leaks instead.
The Justice Department's disclosure Friday that it had complied with congressional demands for information regarding Trump's wiretapping tweets could allow Comey to avoid questioning by simply saying that the lawmakers already have the information they requested.
They're also trying to get involved in campaigns around the globe and over in Europe," he said on "Fox News Sunday." "We know that the Russians were trying to get involved in our campaign, like they have for many decades.
What about all of the contact with the Clinton campaign and the Russians? Also, is it true that the DNC would not let the FBI in to look?
U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that Russia meddled in the campaign to help Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton. The FBI has also been investigating ties between Russia and Trump advisers and associates during the campaign.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has scheduled a similar hearing for later in the month.
But Comey may feel compelled to respond to Trump's unproven Twitter assertions that President Barack Obama ordered a wiretapping of Trump Tower during the campaign. Congressional leaders briefed on the matter have said they've seen no indication that that's true, and Obama's top intelligence official, James Clapper, has publicly called the claims false.
It is not clear how much new information will emerge Monday, and the hearing's open setting unquestionably puts Comey in a difficult situation if he's asked to discuss an ongoing investigation tied to the campaign of the president.

But the panel's ranking Democrat says the material offers circumstantial evidence that American citizens colluded with Russians in Moscow's efforts to interfere in the presidential election. The top two lawmakers on the House intelligence committee said Sunday that documents the Justice Department and FBI delivered late last week offered no evidence that the Obama administration had wiretapped Trump Tower, the president's New York City headquarters.

Monday's hearing before the House Intelligence Committee, one of several congressional panels probing allegations of Russian meddling, could allow for the greatest public accounting to date of investigations that have shadowed the Trump administration in its first two months.
Related Stories
His appearances on Capitol Hill since then have occurred in classified settings, often with small groups of lawmakers, and he has made no public statements connected to the Trump campaign or Russia. At a hearing in January, Comey refused to confirm or deny the existence of any investigation exploring possible connections between Trump associates and Russia, consistent with the FBI's longstanding policy of not publicly discussing its work.
The real story that Congress, the FBI and all others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information. Must find leaker now!

Yet any lack of detail from Comey will likely be contrasted with public comments he made last year when closing out an investigation into Hillary Clinton's email practices and then, shortly before Election Day, announcing that the probe would be revived following the discovery of additional emails.

His tweets came just hours before a potentially politically damaging hearing in which FBI Director James Comey and National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers planned to testify on allegations of Russian hacking and whether there were any connections between Moscow and Trump's campaign.

The avian airport will offer sanctuary to the more than 50 million birds who journey along the East Asian-Australian Flyway each year.
While most modern architecture encroaches on wildlife habitats, the world's first migratory 'bird airport' – to be built in Lingang, China – will do the exact opposite. Designed by McGregor Coxall, the wetland bird airport is to be constructed where a landfill is presently situated and will offer sanctuary to more than 50 million birds each year as they journey from the Antarctic along the East Asian-Australian Flyway (EAAF).
Reportedly, 1 in 5 globally endangered waterbirds presently uses the EAAF, and coastal urbanization continues to make the route increasingly dangerous. It's for this reason that the Port of Tianjin sent out a call for international designers to design a wetland sanctuary for the migration birds. McGregor Coxall was one of many architecture firms who responded.
The design includes 60 hectares of wetland park which allows birds to stop, refuel and breed on their way through the flyway. To keep the park as eco-friendly as possible, renewable energy will be utilized to irrigate the wetlands with recycled water and harvested rain, reports Inhabitat.
CEO and lead designer of the firm, Adrian McGregor, commented:
"The earth's bird flyways are a wonder of the natural world. The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species whilst providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin."
Not only will birds benefit from the wetland airport, residents from the nearby city of Tianjin will also reap positive repercussions from the installation. For example, because the green infrastructure calls for plenty of park space, citizens will have access to a walking and cycling path along a 7 km web of recreational urban forest trails.
The first-of-its-kind airport will be completed by 2018, with construction beginning at the end of this year. Following are some photos of project:

Enjoyed very much our stay at Jon and Val's place just what we wanted size and comfort wise. The really intersting part was outside with our own "private" beach and turtle sactuary. Did i mention the sunsets, spectacular!
We highly recommend and would definitely go back.

"I'm concerned about cannibalization," he said. "Is someone making this bet doing it instead of making another type of bet?"John Reagan, CHRB staff analyst, said Beat the Favorite is the brainchild of nationally known handicapper James Quinn. Reagan said it was brought to the pari-mutuel committee's table at the request of Jack Liebau, director of California racing for Magna Entertainment Corp.
by Jack ShinarCalifornia officials are considering a wager that taps into the bettor's natural inclination to "beat the favorite."In fact, that's what the bet is being called. The California Horse Racing Board's Pari-Mutuel Operations Committee will examine Beat the Favorite for the first time Aug. 22. If racetrack representatives and the committee like it, and believe the public will support it, the legislative approval process would begin.The idea is for bettors to select a horse or multiple horses in three races on a typical eight- or nine-race program that aren't favorites. If the selections prove correct, the winner would collect a portion of the pool that would be split among all the winners at the end of the day, a la the pick six or place-pick-all wagers.The pool would be subject to the same 20.18% takeout applied to all exotic wagers in the state."It's a really interesting idea," said CHRB commissioner Roger Licht, who also chairs the pari-mutuel committee. "I'm looking forward to seeing the staff's report on it. One of the things I'm concerned about is that since you have to make the wager in advance, how do you determine who the race favorite will be?"In a maiden race, a horse that is 10-1 on the morning line can turn out to be the favorite. What happens if that horse wins?"Licht also said he believes the proliferation of exotic bets is a problem.
