- Athletics Director Jay Jacobs
"He's a person that you can trust with any type of situation. He has his door open for anybody. But as a coach, he is a person that demands greatness."
- Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton
"We wanted a coach with high character, a coach with great leadership abilities that can attract a staff that would recruit and develop young men in all areas of their life, spiritually, academically, as well as athletically. He exemplifies all these characteristics."
- Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan
In three years as head coach at Auburn, Gus Malzahn has led the Tigers to a 27-13 record, three bowl games, a Southeastern Conference Championship and an appearance in the BCS National Championship Game in 2013.
Malzahn, 36-16 in four seasons as a head coach, has won or played for a conference title in six of his 10 seasons as a college coach, including winning a conference crown in three of the last six seasons with Auburn in 2010 and 2013 and Arkansas State in 2012.
The 2013 Bear Bryant, Bobby Bowden, Eddie Robinson, Home Depot, Sporting News, SB Nation, Liberty Mutual and Associated Press National Coach of the Year, Malzahn earned SEC Coach of the Year honors after guiding Auburn to the biggest turnaround in SEC history.
He led the Tigers to a 12-2 record and one of the most memorable seasons in school history in 2013, with historic wins over Georgia and Alabama and a record-setting SEC Championship win over Missouri. He became just the third coach in SEC history to win an SEC title in his first year at a school, joining LSU's Bernie Moore in 1935 and Ole Miss' John Vaught in 1947.
Malzahn's second squad finished with an 8-5 record after navigating the nation's most difficult schedule. In his three seasons, Auburn has faced the nation's most difficult schedule and it was no different in 2015. The youthful Tigers, which lost 14 players to the NFL from the previous season, faced 11 bowl teams en route to a Birmingham Bowl victory over Memphis.
One of the most innovative offensive minds in football, Malzahn's high-powered offense has accounted for an average of 452.3 yards total offense and 34.2 points per game over three seasons.
He has produced 13 1,000-yard rushers in 10 seasons as a college head coach/coordinator, at least one in each season, including Heisman Trophy finalist Tre Mason (1,816) and Nick Marshall (1,068) in 2013 and Cameron-Artis Payne (1,608) in 2014. Malzahn has also had five 1,000-yard receivers and three 3,000-yard passers. He has had two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season three times: 2013 (Auburn), 2010 (Auburn) and 2006 (Arkansas). His 2007 Tulsa team had three 1,000-yard receivers.
In 2013, Auburn led the nation in rushing at 328.3 yards per game (the first SEC team ever to do so), and the Tigers have been the SEC's top rushing team over the last three years, averaging 260.2 yards a contest.
Auburn was just the second team in SEC history to gain more than 7,000 yards of total offense in a season in 2013, finishing the year with 7,018 yards; the other was Texas A&M in 2012.
The Tigers set a school record with 48 rushing touchdowns in 2013 and set a school record against SEC opponents with 677 yards of total offense vs. No. 5 Missouri in the SEC Championship Game. The Tigers set SEC Championship Game team records with 26 rushing first downs, 74 rushing attempts, 545 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns.
Tre Mason, a Heisman Trophy finalist and SEC Player of the Year in 2013, ranked third in the nation with 23 touchdowns, was fifth nationally with 1,816 yards rushing, sixth with 10.7 points per game, sixth with 169.57 all-purpose yards per game and eighth with 129.7 rushing yards per game. Mason set the Auburn single-season record with 1,816 rushing yards and 2,374 all-purpose yards, is second with 317 rushing attempts. His 46 rushing attempts and 304 rushing yards vs. No. 5 Missouri set SEC Championship Game records and fell three yards shy of the Auburn record.
Four Auburn players were taken in the 2014 NFL Draft, including two first round picks; offensive tackle Greg Robinson No. 2 overall to the St. Louis Rams and defensive end Dee Ford No. 23 to the Kansas City Chiefs. Mason was a third round selection by the Rams while fullback Jay Prosch was a sixth round pick by the Houston Texans.
In his three seasons at Auburn, Malzahn has coached four All-Americans: running back Tre Mason and return specialist Chris Davis in 2013, center Reese Dismukes in 2014, and place kicker Daniel Carlson in 2015. Dismukes was also named the Rimington Award winner as the nation's top center in 2014 and Carlson was a Lou Groza Award finalist in 2015.
Malzahn, who won the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach in 2010 while helping the Tigers to the national title, returned to Auburn after serving as the head coach at Arkansas State in 2012, where he led the program to the Sun Belt Conference title.
As offensive coordinator, Malzahn made an immediate impact during his tenure at Auburn, highlighted by a record-setting offense in 2010 when the Tigers finished 14-0 and claimed the school's first national title since 1957.
Malzahn's arrival in 2009 and style of offense marked a drastic turnaround from the 2008 season when Auburn struggled offensively. In a two-year period, the Tigers improved from a tie for 110th to seventh in the nation in scoring offense (from 17.3 to 41.2) and from 104th to seventh in total offense.
The 2010 Auburn offense set nine school records, while leading the SEC and finished in the top 10 nationally in six statistical categories. He coached Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton, who had one of the best single-season performances at the position in college football history. Newton threw for 2,908 yards and 30 touchdowns, while rushing for 1,586 yards and 20 TDs. Newton, the No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, also won the Davey O'Brien, Manning and Maxwell Awards.
During two seasons (2007-08) at Tulsa, Malzahn's offenses were among the nation's finest, ranking first nationally in total offense. Tulsa's offense in 2007 established nine team and 12 individual school records; the 2008 Tulsa offense averaged 569.9 yards per game and was second nationally averaging 47.2 points per games.
Malzahn spent one season at Arkansas as offensive coordinator, coaching Heisman Trophy runner-up Darren McFadden and helping the SEC West champion Razorbacks finish fourth nationally in rushing offense.
Malzahn's coaching career began in his home state of Arkansas at the high school level. In 14 seasons as a high school head coach, Malzahn led seven teams to the state championship game and won three titles. In July 2013, he was inducted into the Arkansas High School Sports Hall of Fame.
Malzahn is married to the former Kristi Otwell and they are the parents of two daughters, Kylie and Kenzie.

Schmiddy replied to Fernando 1's topic in nLiteHi, nice How-To, it helped me a lot! I've finally done it and made my XP running on my SSD thaks to you! But now i'm confrontet with a new problem: I wanted to get acces to the Internet and to my usb-media, so i decided to install my chipset-drivers as i'm used to. So I startet these one:"INF_allOS_18.104.22.1688_PV.exe". The installation worked properly and finished with the request for a restart. I did so. But my os didn't start up again and the whole Windowsinstallation could start again. Now my SSD has finished it's installation (I'm tiping from my HDD in IDE-mode). So what to do now? Did these drivers kill my AHCI, or what happened? My Mainboard is a "EVGA X58 SLI 132-BL-E758". Thanks in advance for your help! ps.: My English is not best, I hope you don't mind..

The number of mobile users in China, the world's biggest cellphone market, now tops 600 million, the government said, as subscribers increasingly abandon fixed lines.
Mobile phone users in the country increased to 601 million at the end of June, up by 8.6 million from the end of May, the Ministry of Information Industry said in a statement posted on its website on Wednesday.
From January to June, the nation of 1.3 billion recorded 53.5 million new cellphone users, it said.By contrast, fixed-line subscribers fell by 9.3 million in the first six months to 356 million, it said.
Mobile service is becoming more popular in the country after operators lowered tolls in March for making phone calls outside a user's registered local service area and cancelled charges for answering calls in some cities.
China has been leapfrogging into the age of mobile telephony because of the huge costs associated with installing fixed lines across a nation the size of the United States.

Day 3 was our favourite yet... the lovechild of an amazing line-up and the knowledge it would be 362 days until we'd be back - we knew we really would have to make the very most of the next few hours. The morning was spent at Tallows Beach... soaking in the sun & salt, all messy hair and tired eyes. After a lazy half-day resting and rejuvenating, we headed back in in time for Marlon Williams.
This was one of our favourite live performances - not just at Splendour In The Grass but anytime, anywhere. If you haven't heard this man's music, your life could very much change in a song or two.
After Marlon we had some amazing veggie burgers before making our way up the hill to watch Boy & Bear. James Blake was next - and the crowd felt like it was one as we swayed back and forth to the sound of James' lullabies. In the dreamy state he put us in, we passed up Flume for the lucid-dreaming- like performance that was Sigur Rós.
It was then home to a long awaited sleep, dreaming of bright lights and swaying people and groovy guitar riffs.
So long Splendour, we'll meet again after a quick circle round the sun.
P.s We want to see your Splendour Memories - be sure to tag us in your Festival snaps! @AugusteTheLabel

6 COMMITMENTS WITH MORE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS Making products with sustainability differential available to customers is a way adopted by Walmart to reduce the impact of its business in the value chain. Actions also contemplate people awareness for responsible consumption, in stores, in the work environment or at home. With this proposal the company plans to achieve the following targets: Reduce the phosphate in laundry and kitchen detergents by 70% by 2013; Develop a product indicator system by 2015; Offer laundry products, at least, twice more concentrated by 2012; Lead and to be reference in sustainability with Private Label products; Support and encourage the development of closed cycle products; Offer at least 1 organic product per category of foods by 2012; Comply with the Pact for Livestock, Wood, Soybean, and for the Eradication of Slave Labor; By the end of 2015 expand, at a global scale, Walmart Brazil s existing practices concerning the origin of the meat to all suppliers, ensuring that their production does not contribute towards the deforestation of the Amazon Forest; By 2015 at least double the purchases from small and medium farmers integrating the Producers Club; Implement the Responsible Purchase Policy of the Fishing Chain by To do so, it adopts a communication strategy regarding sustainability that allows associates, partners and customers to relate the subject to direct benefits, such as economy in everyday life, with the idea that correct actions are good for the pocket and for the planet. 6
7 EDITORIAL Helping people live better is part of Walmart s mission. And this commitment embraces a broad portfolio of social and environmental actions. Since 2005, when the company publicly announced its global sustainability goals, various initiatives have been promoted in three areas: climate and energy; waste and products. Many of them, due to their capacity and replication and their success achieved throughout the entire value chain, acquired broader character and gained continuity among the activities undertaken by the company in favor of environmental responsibility. This is the case of the End-to-End Sustainability Project. After a successful first edition, the results of which were made public in January 2010, we are pleased to present the progress achieved by the products that participated in the second edition. Marcos Samaha, Walmart Brazil President and CEO In the first edition ten companies accepted the invitation and promoted significant changes in the production process in leading sales items. These were: 3M, Cargill, Colgate-Palmolive, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, Nestlé, Pepsico, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, as well as Walmart, which participated with a private label product of its Bom Preço format. The partnerships established have given us confidence to move forward and invite new suppliers to review the production process and packaging of their products and prove that it is possible to offer more sustainable consumption choices to society. Thus, in addition to promoting life sustainability on the planet, we meet the desire expressed by consumers choosing friendlier products to the environment. In this second edition, we have the pleasure to share this experience with 13 suppliers. They are, Ambev, Danone, Kimberly- Clark, Kraft Foods, L Oréal, Mars, NatCereais (Sentir Bem Oat line), Philips, Reckitt Benckiser, Santher, SaraLee, SC Johnson, and Whirlpool. Suppliers predisposition to mobilize their teams around the analysis of the life cycle of their products and the revision of its processes has been a fundamental condition for the success of the End-to-End Sustainability Project. Through such initiatives, Walmart wants to continue encouraging its partners to promote actions that contribute towards the sustainability of the production chain as a whole, always focused on a win-win relation for business and society. Enjoy your reading. 7
8 The seeds of tomorrow Transforming leading products into sustainability references, from an objective action to reduce its environmental impacts throughout the value chain, this is the goal of the End-to-End Sustainability Project, developed by Walmart Brazil The End-to-End Sustainability Project began knocking down an old marketing paradigm, don t change a winning team. The products chosen to participate in this project were precisely the ones with excellent market performance. In this new edition, a total of 13 leading products in completely different categories, received the challenge of making their value chain more effective, from the source of the raw materials to the disposal of the waste after consumption. Walmart Brazil invited major industry partners to innovate and look to the future as a market where the value is in offering not only better products but also to assure consumers that their choices are helping to preserve environmental resources, and contributing to a more inclusive economy, without necessarily having to pay more for it. Marcos Samaha (on the left), who became president of Walmart Brazil in 2010, visiting Walmart Morumbi eco-efficient store, with the unit s director, Genilson Antônio Santos. 8
9 For Walmart it is very important for consumers to feel comfortable in the transition to more sustainable products, and this is why famous and widely accepted brands have been chosen to participate in this laboratory, where companies, their suppliers and Cetea researchers, who monitored everything from up close, tried to better understand the impacts of their products at each stage of the production and distribution processes, and act for objective reductions and measures in the consumption of water, energy, raw materials and greenhouse gas emissions impacting climate change, especially CO2. After the launch of the first edition of the End-to-End Sustainability Project in 2009, which had ten companies participating, many of them contacted the Walmart team to tell them how the experience positively impacted other product lines, which had not entered the Project. This multiplying effect is very powerful, because companies realize they can do more, develop products that are more This goes far beyond our shelves; the industry is going to change for everyone Daniela de Fiori friendly to the environment and please increasingly demanding consumers regarding sustainability, explains Daniela de Fiori, Walmart Brazil Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Vice President. For her the initiative has the merit of helping the market to move faster towards more sustainable products as it shows how to do it, which indicators can be used and, especially, products with sustainability differential do not necessarily cost more. The first edition of the End-to-End Sustainability Project mobilized 10 companies and multiplied inside each of them. Walmart Brazil is currently working with over 7 thousand suppliers and offers its customers over 60 thousand products. One of its main commitments is to offer at least one more sustainable alternative in each of the product lines available on their shelves. At this point, Walmart is working to provide examples of how to do it, while managing the collection and disposal of waste in its stores, water and energy consumption in all its activities, but especially regarding the performance of its private label product in this second edition. The figures obtained by Sentir Bem oat team, our private label, are fantastic, said Maria Rita Lobato, Walmart sustainability coordinator and one of the closest executives to the project. Altogether, the changes obtained in the value chain of the product represented - in sales alone in 12 months at Walmart - reduction in the emissions of more than 1,100 tons of CO2 and less 208 tons of waste per year, among other benefits. 9
10 The methodology used to transform leading products into reference in sustainability has been a success, with the involvement of many players in Walmart s supply chain. Now, an important challenge is to show consumers that this is a consistent initiative with wellestablished technical criteria. The project is a detailed study about the reduction of the environmental impact of these products and the benefits should be well reported as consumers avoid empty marketing, said Camila Valverde, Walmart Brazil Sustainability Director. For her, the chain action with the participating companies also releasing the work is very powerful. Even companies which did not directly participate in the process end up trying to improve the performance of its products, as this is a differential that the market values, she explains. This second edition of Walmart Brazil End-to-End Sustainability Project is a demonstration that the model worked. It is a larger laboratory, looking at all the cycles to see where there is room for improvements and implement these advances, but there should always be new challenges, says Daniela de Fiori, explaining that the achievements in this line pave the way for the future. It is gratifying to be part of the transformation of products with a positive impact on the environment and on life quality Camila Valverde ASSESSMENT OF THE LIFE CYCLE Study of the product/environment relation, from the extraction of natural resources to its final disposal Energy Water Natural resources Extraction of natural resources Manufacturing of raw-material Manufacturing of the product Marketing and use Final disposal Recycling Emissions to the air Emissions to the water Solid waste Thinking about the life cycle of a product allows a creative approach to supply chain highlights opportunities for economic, social and environmental improvement 10
11 WHAT IS THE END-TO-END SUSTAINABILITY It is an initiative created by Walmart Brazil in partnership with its commercial suppliers to implement a view of the life cycle of products, from the extraction of natural resources to the post-consumption phase. The goal is to reduce the environmental impacts and encourage the continuous improvement of products. RESULT ASSESSMENT METHOD The stages of the life cycle of the product were detailed to identify opportunities of improvement that could lead to the reduction of indicators of the consumption of natural resources, energy and emissions (to the air and water) and generation of solid waste, both industrial and post consumption. Social contribution actions and those focused on environmental education were also identified. After the implementation of feasible actions within the project period, its effects were quantified using as reference the same product before March The quantified environmental improvements refer to the specific product and there is no comparison or reference to competing products on the market. GLOBAL RESULTS OF THE PROJECT Based on Walmart Brazil estimated annual sales of the 13 products developed in the End-to-End Sustainability Project, total gains were: logistics Savings varying between 32% and 64% more products per truck power Reduction in power consumption: GWh (= 19,268,869 kwh) (savings of 8.03 million 100W light bulbs) CO2 Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions: 3,171 tons CO 2 equivalent (savings of 17.3 million km run) water Reduction in water consumption: Liters or m 3 people Certification of products and processes, engaging in campaigns of collective interest and other initiatives with a social focus package Reduction in package mass: kg Reduction in diesel consumption: 232,430 Liters waste Reduction in waste (industrial or agricultural, excluding post-consumption): kg TO UNDERSTAND THE INDIVIDUAL RESULTS The reductions achieved for measurable indicators of the participating companies are presented in absolute numbers based on an established amount - for example 1 ton of product - or the product annual sales estimate at Walmart Brazil. Percentage values are presented only when it is possible to define the total value of the reference, such as in the reduction of the mass of the package or in the optimization of load capacity in the transportation. In the illustration of environmental gains of the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 equivalent) comparative images were used based on the following relations: Electricity (kwh): savings demonstrated in number of 100W light bulbs lit 24 hours a day CO2 equivalent emissions avoided, reduction demonstrated in km that could be travelled by a small car running on gasoline with engine between 1.0 and 1.4 (1.000kg CO2 are equivalent to travelling 5.463km). Not quantified improvements, such as certification of origin and support programs for sustainable production, are presented through the description of their environmental and social benefits. 11
12 Cetea: establishing uniform standards in sustainability Cetea s participation allowed the assessment of the results based on the same technical basis. The second edition of the End-to-End Project Endto-End Sustainability once again had the participation of Cetea. Cetea - Packaging Technology Center, related to the Food Technology Institute - ITAL, performed the monitoring of all companies in order to ensure data quality, the legitimacy of the project and make the assessment methodology uniform. In this second edition of the End to End Project the reduction of the calculation of CO2 equivalent emissions of the GHG Protocol and the IPCC, in the case of deterioration of materials was chosen as an indicator of improvement of the various projects. The focus of Cetea s performance was, according to Guilherme de Castilho Queiroz, one of the experts allocated for the project, Help companies to assess the life cycle of their products and processes and, this way, rethink ways to reduce the ecological footprint, as [sic]. The exercise of thinking about the life cycle of the product means understanding and measuring the impacts from choosing raw-materials, efficiency in using water, energy and inputs, potential for recycling the components, and the final generation of waste. The other aspect of Cetea s work was to performance of an independent assessment of the process of rethinking products and processes so that the results could be verified through certifications and labeling recognized around the world to ensure credibility and legitimacy to the process. As an additional benefit to Cetea s work, this methodology, applied in both editions of the End-to-End project, allows this type of assessment to be replicated and shared in similar cases in any production chain. Based on the experience of the End-to-End project first edition, conducted in 2010, and in the number of companies participating in this second edition, Cetea chose six experts - three of them with Master s Degree Cetea team dedicated to the project, from left to right Anna Lúcia Mourad, Jozeti Barbutti Gatti, Guilherme de Castilho Queiroz, Sandra Balan M. Jaime and Leda Coltro 12
13 CETEA: EXPERIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL PRESTIGE Cetea - Package Technology Center is a division of Ital - Food Technology Institute, São Paulo Agency for Agribusiness Technology - APTA, which belongs to the Department of Agriculture and Supply of São Paulo State Government. Created in 1982, its origin was an eight year partnership of Ital s Section of Packaging and Wrapping with the United Nations, in order to improve the quality of preservation and food supply. Eloísa Garcia, CETEA s Environment Group Manager and technical reporter of the Project and three of them with a PhD in environment, chemistry, food engineering and materials and each technician closely followed at least two companies. The process took about 18 months and the work began with a technical visit to the companies to characterize and measure the processes and products in the initial stage of the process (baseline definition) so that in the final stage the indicators could be compared and measured. From this starting point the work method consisted of monthly meetings to monitor each project (in person and online) with the companies technicians and internal meetings in which Cetea experts exchanged information about the various projects and made the method for the production of reports uniform. For a year and a half, Cetea allocated more than 2,400 man-hours of expert advice in technical visits, assessment and monitoring meetings and evaluation of results presented in reports that will guarantee the future transfer of knowledge to other Walmart partners. By monitoring the processes of continuous improvement of the various products, Cetea also fulfilled the role of a qualified consultant for companies participating in the process. Eloísa Elena Corrêa Garcia, food engineer with a Master s Degree in Food Technology and Cetea s Manager, points out that in this second edition the process was easier than in the first edition, with gains of methodology and time, As there was the first edition model, the companies understood the project goal more easily, and even Cetea already had a model to apply, we added the unification of the performance measurements in a common way of calculating the emission of CO 2 equivalent. Located in Campinas - SP, Cetea is a nonprofit research center which Mission is to Contribute to increase the competitiveness of the productive sectors through the RD&I activity and specialized technological advisory for continuous improvement of packaging systems with benefit to the society. The organization uses a partnership model (which now comprises about 150 companies) and maintains an Advisory Board with 22 organizations representing the packaging, food and research industries. This model, its technical and professional resources and structure, unique in Latin America, made the organization into an international reference center. Cetea conducts studies and tests on packages since its foundation, with highly specialized technicians and high-technology equipment to analyze the relevant characteristics of the packages and their relation with the products they protect. The work allows the identification of components and possible contaminants, as well as simulates and tests conditions of use, transportation and other situations to which the product can be subjected during its life cycle and disposal. Since 1997 the organization began to provide analysis of the Life Cycle of Products for companies. In addition to studies, courses, events and publications on packages, in the sustainability area, Cetea conducts studies on environmental impact, legislation, technology and labeling and life cycle analysis of products. Many publications are available for download on the website 13
14 Guaraná Antártica: pioneer in using recycled PET in food Company: Ambev Product: two-liter PET Guaraná Antártica The focus of the project was to develop a package with the inclusion of recycled plastic resin in one of the main brands of the company, ensuring economic, social and environmental gains. At Ambev, member of the world s largest organization of beverages, the sustainability of the business, of products and environment are connected; the company systematically saves and consciously uses water and energy, recycles waste and by-products and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, based on an Environmental Management System implemented in 1992 and periodically updated. Ambev participated of the End-to-End Sustainability Project with two-liter Guarana Antarctica, with the goal of replacing the current product on the shelves with the first recycled PET resin packaging in Brazil. The significance is huge in the company s portfolio, since the chosen product is the main brand of soda, and the two-liter package is the main packaging in the market. The challenge was to add the technology that incorporates recycled PET resin to the virgin resin, to comply with the public agencies standardization (Health Surveillance) referring to the use of recycled material in food packaging. In this context, bottles will already be produced with a portion of recycled resin and the goal is to gradually increase, replacing the amount of virgin resin used in the manufacturing process. The work was entirely concentrated in the factory in Rio de Janeiro. The packaging label will carry the information that identifies the percentage of recycled PET-based resin. To make the two-liter Guarana Antarctica feasible in a recycled PET packaging, the company has been investing in the upgrade and harmonization of a chain of recycling cooperatives that will be the major suppliers of this material. We need to ensure the supply of raw-material for recycling, preserving the product quality. Therefore we increased the incentive to recycling cooperatives, which we had been doing for many years, said Thiago Ely, Beverage Innovations Manager. In the project there was also an increase in technical efficiency in the production of guaraná. At Ambev s farm located in Maués (AM), the extraction of the fruit is made. An excellence program was created there, since the farm is a large nursery of seedlings, which are distributed to the local community, later providing the fruit. Ambev purchases 100% of the guaraná produced in the region. This increases the productivity, offers guarantees to the farmer. Additionally, Ambev implemented a new model to transport the guaraná, which ensured a significant reduction in CO 2 emissions. As it is a traditional Brazilian brand, the product will only be sold in Brazil and the expected results with Guarana Antarctica in a new packaging is a growth slightly higher than the market average. The resources used in the project were all from the Brazilian unit. Five employees from the areas of Technical Development, Supply, Legal, Corporate Relations and Marketing participated in the corporate management of the project. In addition to other employees, there was the proactive involvement of industrial suppliers and research institutes, mobilizing a large number of people motivated by the process of rethinking the life cycle of a sales leading brand. 14
15 SUSTAINABILITY AT THE RIGHT AMOUNT This project was based on the application of a technology to use 100% post-consumption recycled PET with the approval for contact with food and drink, the implementation of improvements in the production process and transportation and reduction of the packaging mass. Additionally, the promotion and technological assistance actions were expanded for the cultivation of guaraná and expansion of the packing recycling chain. The environmental gains achieved by the project for the estimated annual sales at Walmart retailer were: Guaraná Cultivation in Maués - AM reduction of 60.7 thousand kg of packaging material per year reduction of 940 thousand liters of water per year savings of 208 thousand liters of diesel oil consumption / or fuel oil in the transportation reduction in the emission of 557 thousand kg of CO 2 equivalent per year technology for the use of 100% post-consumption recycled PET packaging approved for contact with food and beverages promoting and structuring of the cultivation of guarana in the Amazon region providing technical assistance for farmers to plant and achieve higher productivity for the same space occupied, ensuring absence of child labor, price guarantee and purchase of crop produced initiatives to promote the organization and collection of post-consumption recycled PET in order to maintain the traceability of the chain, analysis of opportunities and improvement and creating consumer awareness water 940 thousand liters package Technology for the use of 100% post-consumption recycled packaging people Support to guaraná producers: quality and productivity The sustainability of the business and the environment are connected. We seek not only financial growth, but also excellence in the use of natural resources, and through innovation, one of the main pillars of the company, we have obtained excellent results in recent years. João Castro Neves, CEO
16 Danoninho: more sustainable from farm to fork Company: Danone Product: Danoninho morango 360g Danoninho rethinks its production cycle and reaches children even more committed to a better world. The Danone Group is a French multinational company, world leader in dairy products, vice leader in water and infant nutrition, and third largest in medical nutrition. Over the years, Danone has become a synonym of nutrition, health, quality and innovation. Operating in over 120 countries, the Group has about 80,000 employees worldwide, with 2,700 employees in Brazil. It is the third largest food group in Europe, the seventh largest food manufacturer in the world and first in countries like France, Spain and Italy, occupying the position of number 63 in the ranking of most valuable brands in the world. The product chosen to participate of the End-to-End Sustainability Project was Danoninho Morango 360g, the company s first brand to develop the sustainable concept in Brazil With over 40 years in the market, the brand is geared towards children and has carried the infant nutrition flag. Danoninho has nearly 50% market share in the petit Suisse segment in Brazil (share value, Nielsen 2010). By rethinking the life cycle of Danoninho, the company has addressed various aspects, from the production of milk to the final package. In milk production, which represents about 98% of the raw material, Danone has applied some tools in order to measure and enhance the improvements by the Danleite program: Dan Print, which analyzes the life cycle of the product, and Milk Tool, with the collaboration of the producers of milk, which identified where we could reduce CO2. One of the CO2 reduction aspects is at least unexpected: with the adoption of a new type of nutrition, the cows started to produce more milk, which results in a proportional reduction in emissions of methane - gas produced in the stomach and expelled through the animal s mouth. In the context of rethinking the life cycle, the production process also benefited from the modification of the cooling cells, with the readjustment of the layout and air flow, which made the process more efficient, contributing towards the reduction in energy consumption, and therefore, in CO2 emissions. Danone also rethought the product package. Just before the beginning of the project, the company had adopted the FOAM technology - which expands the plastic sheet used in the pack, making it aerated, reducing the weight of the pack and the amount of plastic raw material in the package of the product Activia. Danoninho started using this type of package, which resulted in a decrease of 9.4% in the mass of the container, and Danone transferred this technology - unprecedented in the country - to a Brazilian supplier. Parallel to the End-to-End Sustainability Project, the company has launched another sustainability initiative: Danoninho para plantar [Danoninho to plant], a pack that provides seeds for planting, providing in a playful and fun way a simple experiment in environmental education for children. The project involved many people in the field, in the package development and in the industrial process, with the support of the purchasing, trade and marketing departments. In addition to the milk producers, Danone, with the support of Sebrae, implemented the DanLeite program highly motivated partners in search of a more sustainable product. Thus, Danone, through Danoninho, not only reinforces the importance of nutrition, but also promotes awareness about the environment. 16
17 Danone Team SUSTAINABILITY AT THE RIGHT AMOUNT This project was based on improvements in the production process, with emphasis on reducing energy consumption, as well as the package mass reduction and package waste generation in post-consumption. The environmental gains achieved by the project for the estimated annual sales within Walmart were: reduction of 943 kg of primary package reduction of 3280 kwh in power consumption (electric and themal) reduction of kg CO2 equivalent due to lower power consumption reduction of L of fuel oil power 1,367 bulbs package 943kg packages CO2 3,472 km run Danone is committed to making its business more environmentally sustainable and this directly reflects on its practices and the development of new products, as is the case of Danoninho 360g. By partnering with Walmart, we gave an important demonstration of leadership and alignment with what Brazilian consumers want, aware of sustainability issues. Mariano Lozano, CEO
18 Neve Naturali: increasing paper sustainability with 100% recycled fibers Company: Kimberly Clark Product: Neve Naturali Neve Naturali: increasing paper sustainability with 100% recycled fibers Improving the environmental performance of Neve Naturali, which has already been manufactured from 100% recycled fiber, has demanded complex changes in the production process of one of Kimberly-Clark s factory. The world s leading company in health and wellness, Kimberly-Clark is an American company with operations in 47 countries and products marketed in 150. It has been in Brazil for 15 years, with its head office located in São Paulo (SP), with over three thousand employees working in four factories - Eldorado do Sul (RS), Correia Pinto (SC), Suzano and Mogi das Cruzes (SP), with offices in São Paulo (SP) and Recife (PE), and a distribution center located in Mogi das Cruzes (SP). In Brazil, Kimberly-Clark is a market leader with a complete line of personal care and domestic products, with strong brands and renowned quality and high technology. The product chosen by the company to take part in the End-to-End Sustainability Project was a sub-line of Neve, a market leader in the segment of toilet paper, Neve Naturali, that since 2009 has been made from 100% recycled fibers. To rethink its life cycle, three improvements have been made in the process: decrease in the total distance traveled by the collected trims to the Neve Naturali factory, with substantial reduction in time, cost and CO2 emissions in the transport; energy reuse of the production sludge, which until then had been grounded; and the reuse of plastic waste in the new wrapping films production plant. Suppliers of white trims, originating mostly from office paper, banks and publishing houses, are concentrated mostly in the State of São Paulo. Finding a provider closer to the white chips factory in the town of Correia Pinto (SC) was of fundamental importance and, after much research, Kimberly identified a supplier which, after being audited, met their requirements for quality, delivery volume and fitness. The white trims contain large amounts of non-fiber materials, which in the manufacturing process of Neve Naturali, are separated as sludge. This sludge, which used to be grounded, started being used as energy input in a biomass boiler acquired for such purpose, which replaced a fuel oil boiler. The use of the sludge in the boiler - tested with the support of the Federal University of Paraná - was gradually increased and has already reached 20% of the volume; it is expected that this number should reach 100% by the end of Besides generating power, the sludge does not go to landfills, thus avoiding emissions of greenhouse gases in these locations. There was also the use of plastic, both from industrial waste and package waste that arrive at the company with the raw materials and inputs. This material was put together and started being delivered to a supplier, which retrieves and returns the resin as 10% of new plastic for the transport package bales. With these process improvements, Kimberly managed to keep Neve Naturali as the company s first product that uses 100% recycled fiber in its composition. This is a pioneer process in the business and took up the challenge to innovate the product and the process, in environmental terms. The End-to-End project served as a further incentive for sustainable increases of our products. Sustainability has always been part of Kimberly-Clark s business and is one of the pillars in our view, says Thiago Char, chemical engineer of Research and Development. The project involved investments in equipment and technology and mobilized about 15 people in the office and in the production units. 18
19 SUSTAINABILITY AT THE RIGHT AMOUNT The project consisted in improving the environmental performance of Neve Naturali toilet paper through the stock in its supply chain, including most importantly the operationalization of a new boiler to burn sludge generated in the process, reducing the total distances traveled during the transport of trims and the introduction of recycled material in the toilet paper secondary wrapping film. Based on the volume of sales to Walmart in 2011, it was possible to account for the following improvements: Neve Naturali Production reduction of 58.2 tons of CO2 equivalent mainly due to the burning of sludge savings of 36.8 GJ of fossil energy, or 1018 liters of diesel reduction of 30.2 tons of solid waste to be sent to landfills reduction of 455,063 liters of water consumption savings of 520 GJ of renewable energy with energy recovery from burning sludge Kimberly-Clark Team water 455 thousand liters waste Reduction of 30,200 kg of residues CO2 318,000 km run We are very pleased with the participation of Neve Naturali in this project because sustainability has always been part of our business and it is one of the pillars of our vision. Improvements like those used for the production of Neve Naturali in our factory and in the supply chain are important steps and adds to those already given by the brand towards sustainability. Neve was the first brand to put a handle on its package, eliminating the use of plastic bags, a pioneer in the compression of their rolls, increasing the volume of product transported by truck, which are powered by GNV gas, reducing by more than 90% the emission of CO2. Neve Naturali is a sustainable product and it is aligned with Kimberly-Clark and Walmart strategies to build a new business model, proving that it is possible to meet the consumption needs of its customers with the least impact on the environment. João Damato, CEO
20 Halls: refreshing and now with a more sustainable package Company: Kraft Foods Product: Halls By rethinking the life cycle of refreshing Halls, Kraft changed the package and processes and reduced industrial discharges. Kraft Foods emerged in the United States in 1903, when entrepreneur James Lewis Kraft, 29 years, took the first steps for the construction of the largest food and beverage industry in North America and second largest in the world. An innovative organization was then born, one that combines quality products with excellence in development. In Brazil, Kraft Foods has six mills in operation in the states of São Paulo, Paraná and Pernambuco. It employs about ten thousand employees in the country and has established brands in its portfolio as Lacta chocolate, Social Club and Trakinas biscuits, Tang, Clight and Fresh powdered drinks, desserts and Royal baking powder, the Royal Blend tea line and Philadelphia cream cheese. Since February 2010, Kraft Foods Global, LLC. has acquired a controlling stake in Cadbury PLC, a leading company in the gums and candies industry, with traditional brands in the Brazilian market, such as Trident, Chiclets, Bubbaloo and Halls. The product to participate of the End-to-End Sustainability Project is Halls. By rethinking the life cycle of Halls, Kraft Foods has improved the production process and reduced package materials and industrial discharges. Changes in package reached all the Halls line (Base and Creamy). On the display, which serves to pack the product and to show it at the sales counter, there was a reduction in both the weight of the box from 1.96 kg/ton of product to 0.52 kg / ton of product in weight and thickness of the BOPP film that surrounds and protects the display. Though individually small, considering the volume of sales, the total quantity of materials reduced in the production of the boxes becomes very large, generating savings in raw materials, water and energy. Changes have also been made to the shipping package: the cardboard boxes used to ship the displays were removed and these products will be transported directly on pallets - which also reduces the use of natural resources and weight during transport. Another important change in the production process is related to changing the nonstick oil that prevents the product from sticking to the conveyor to a mixture of soybean oil and beeswax, reducing the consumption of soybean oil by 90%, while maintaining the efficiency of the previous nonstick product. This initiative, along with the savings generated due to the production of the nonstick product, also contributed towards the reduction in transport and the factors associated with it. The cooling gases used in offices and in the production process for refrigeration began to be recovered and reused, contributing towards the reduction in the greenhouse gases. Other specific initiatives were added to the process: The remainder of the drops that occur during the production process became the raw material to manufacture animal feed. With a new schedule for the exchange of flavors in the process lines, the impact of wastewater generated due to the cleaning of the equipment was reduced, therefore allowing the reduction in the amount of sludge generated in the wastewater treatment process. By rethinking the life cycle and by working with a design from end to end, we realize that small initiatives can produce great results for the company and the environment, says Marcello Napolitano, Walmart Wholesale Account Manager at Kraft Foods Brazil and one of the project coordinators. Ten people from Kraft Foods were directly involved in the project, as well as members of the supply chain of raw materials that had an active role in the process. 20

The big news in Athens recently is that true freshman Jacob Eason is likely to be name the starter to start the season. Andy why not? We know what Lambert can bring to the table and it's not great. Eason has the better arm of the two still in this race, and can bring a downfield threat in the passing game that was missing last year. If I'm coach Chaney, I'm letting Eason throw a couple quick passes to start, possibly to the tight ends, and get him comfortable first. The Bulldogs have one of the best backs in America in Nick Chubb, so it's not like the team is relying on Eason to win the game. Get him some experience in a big game, but give him a simple gameplan that he can work with. Even if he does make a mistake or two, which he will, he's going to make them anyway. It's better he makes his mistakes early in the year and hopefully learn from them, instead of making them against Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, and Tech. I think it's a smart decision to start Eason.
As for the running backs, it looks like Chubb is ready to go. Brendan Douglass is also listed as a starter, but I'm expecting 125 yards on the ground and two scores from Chubb on Saturday. That's expecting a lot from a guy coming off major knee surgery, but I really think Chubb will have a big night against the Tar Heels. I'm expecting to see a little bit of Sony, some Douglass, and some Holyfied as well if he's healthy. I do not know the severity of the injury. Either way, I feel like Georgia should have success on the ground in the Dome.
I'm still a little worried about the offensive line. Pyke seemed to drop off last year, and will be needed to play like he did in 2014 for Georgia to have success on the line. Isaiah Wynn is solid and possibly the best lineman on the team. Not worried about him wherever he plays, but guard looks like the best option. Catalina, well he's a JC transfer coming in, so I'm not sure what he brings to the table. I know he's big, but Georgia will certainly need him to have a big year. Let's hope it happens. I like Kublanow at center and think he will be alright there. Veteran guy who can make sure everyone knows what's going on. Dyshon Sims is another question mark for me. Overall I was a little worried back in the fall, but from what I'm hearing, this offensive line could turn out to be pretty good.
At receiver, The Bulldogs really need someone to step up opposite Godwin. The sophomore has great hands and athleticism, but he still has work to do. JC transfer Javon Wims certainly has the size to be a read zone threat, but he's still an unknown right now. His film is great and there's a ton of upside to him though. Riley Ridley is a guy I think could have a big season. He might be a freshman, but he's 20 years old. He runs a good route, shows good hands, and can be an instant impact guy this year. I'll always be skeptical of Reggie Davis' hands, but his speed and explosiveness can't be ignored. The Bulldogs would love nothing more than for him to have a breakout senior season. Michael Chigbu and Jayson Stanley are two others who are capable of making an impact in 2016.
The tight end position might be the deepest group on the team. Jeb Blaevich is looking to have a big junior season after a lowly sophomore campaign, and will be an easy target for Eason early on. Sophomore tight end Jackson Harris is a complete tight end who can block and catch. He had a great spring game and another solid tight end option in the passing game. Freshman Isaac Nauta and Charlie Woerner and both great athletes who are mismatches for linebackers. I'm expecting both to play in 2016, and both to have solid careers in Athens the next three years,

But stars who name their kids after destination hot spots take the cake: from Kourtney Kardashian's baby girl to Alec Baldwin's teen daughter, here's a rundown of more celebrity offspring named after places. Fame PicturesPenelope Scotland DisickKeeping Up with the Kardashians star Kourtney Kardashian welcomed baby girl Penelope Scotland Disick into the reality-TV family on Sunday. It's difficult to believe outspoken Khloé Kardashian isn't already cracking jokes about her niece's name. Kourtney and boyfriend Scott Disick also have a 2-year-old son, Mason Dash Disick. James Devaney, WireImage / Getty ImagesEgypt Daoud DeanYou might think of pyramids or the Arab Spring when someone mentions Egypt. But R&B singer Alicia Keys and producer/DJ Swizz Beatz decided it would be the perfect baby name; their son turns 2 in October. Pacific Coast NewsIndia Pearl WeinsteinSix weeks before Keys gave birth, Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman and film producer Harvey Weinstein decided to give the "place name" trend their own spin, naming their new daughter India Pearl Weinstein. India is Chapman's first child and Weinstein's fourth. Sonia Moskowitz / Getty ImagesIreland BaldwinActor Alec Baldwin and actress Kim Basinger jumped on the place-name bandwagon long ago. The now-divorced couple has a 16-year-old daughter named Ireland. Unlike other stars who name their kids after locations, however, Baldwin's Irish roots might help to explain the choice.

Not to mention actress Sherry Stringfield and journalist Larry Joseph, who have an 8-year-old son named Milo. Fame PicturesPhoenix Chi Gulzar Melanie Brown, a.k.a. Sporty Spice, named her first daughter Phoenix Chi Gulzar. But unfortunately for the family, a year ago Phoenix, now 13, filed a police report against her father, Jimmy Gulzar, for battery. Fame PicturesAlabama Luella BarkerModel Shanna Moakler and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker have a 6-year-old daughter named Alabama Luella Barker. The patriotically named little one was featured on their MTV reality show, Meet the Barkers, which ran from 2005 to 2006. The couple has since split. Wagner Az / Pacific Coast NewsIndiana HawkeActor Ethan Hawke and his wife, Ryan, have a 1-year-old daughter named after another state, Indiana. Continuing the nontraditional baby names, their 3-year-old daughter is named after a fruit, Clementine. Dan Steinberg / AP PhotoGeorgia Geraldine Dane Actor Eric Dane and actress Rebecca Gayheart have a 1-year-old daughter named Georgia Geraldine Dane. Although Georgia may be a fairly common first name, it is also one of our great 50 states, and therefore deserves the final spot in our list.

US STOCKS-Wall St ends lower, but health stocks rally
* Healthcare stocks rally after Supreme Court decision
* Dow Transports close in correction territory
* Energy shares fall alongside crude oil prices
* Indexes down: Dow 0.4 pct, S&P 0.3 pct, Nasdaq 0.2 pct (Updates to close)
By Ryan Vlastelica
NEW YORK, June 25 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended a quiet session with modest losses on Thursday, but healthcare stocks rallied after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld tax subsidies key to President Barack Obama's signature healthcare reform law.
Energy shares drove the day's weakness, falling alongside crude oil prices, while uncertainty surrounding Greece also limited positive sentiment. Transport stocks, considered a proxy for economic activity, entered correction territory, closing 10.6 percent below a Dec. 29 closing high.
The S&P 500 healthcare index rose 0.5 percent after the court ruled that the 2010 Affordable Care Act, widely known as Obamacare, did not restrict the subsidies to states that establish their own online healthcare exchanges.
Hospital operators were among the biggest beneficiaries of the ruling, with investors relieved that the growing number of paying customers created by Obamacare would not disappear. Continuación...
