To supplement traditional Voluntary cleanup programs the use of environmental baselining adds tools to mitigate environmental risk and facilitate transactions and lending.
This document discusses how digital storytelling and emotive strategies can help brands engage consumers. It argues that companies should create transmedia experiences to tell authentic brand stories that appeal to consumers' emotions. By strategically sharing their story across social media platforms, brands can build loyal fan bases and achieve maximum reach and return on investment. The key is engaging consumers at deeper levels through an intriguing plot, characters, and consistency of narrative across different digital outlets.
This document discusses various modes of direct marketing, including direct mail advertising, direct response advertising, telemarketing, cataloging, and the internet. Direct mail advertising involves sending promotional materials directly to prospects via mail. Direct response advertising aims to generate an immediate response through mail, phone, or in-person. Telemarketing can be outbound calls made by marketers or inbound calls to a marketer's number. Catalogs provide a wide selection but have high costs. The internet allows infinite selection and access 24/7 but fulfillment may be delayed.

2015 National Tanks Conference- Forensic Engineering/Environmental ForensicsJoseph Berlin
Joseph Berlin, BLDI President and chief forensic investigator, was a presenter at the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission's National Tanks Conference and Expo in Phoenix, AR on September 15, 2015.
Joe provided a discussion on forensic engineering and environmental forensics (FE/EF) focused on their use and trends affecting underground storage tank (UST) sites. The purpose of his session was to present a different understanding of the Conceptual Site Model (CSM) and how the Component Failure Analysis (CFA) integrates into the overall site CSM. A recent case was presented involving the use of FE/EF methods to demonstrate Environmental Baselining. This case utilized CFA, amended CSM, specific analytical methods (Ratio, PIANO, Isotopic) and data analysis techniques to address environmental risk, insurance and transactional due diligence issues. Current Baselining practices and one Baselining practice in development (Arizona) were discussed.
This document summarizes a lecture on protocol registration and pre-specified analysis plans. It discusses the history of clinical trial registration requirements, highlighting milestones like the establishment of ClinicalTrials.gov. It also reviews reasons for registration like ethical principles from the Belmont Report. Additionally, it covers types of registration platforms, issues with registration alone, debates around registering observational studies, and templates for developing pre-analysis plans. The key takeaways are that registration and pre-specifying analysis plans can help reduce bias, while allowing flexibility like registering changes to protocols.

INTRODUCTION
During the late summer of 2007, Bob Malone, British Petroleum (BP) America Chairman
and President, was faced with one of the most important decisions of his career – to
expand the Whiting Refinery in northwest Indiana on the banks of Lake Michigan, or to
yield to pressure from the public and not expand operations. Regional and global
consumer demand for gasoline was rising, which helped push prices toward record highs,
and the refinery had an opportunity to expand capacity to help meet that demand.
However, thousands of citizens, a host of environmental groups, and eve.
Millrock Resources Inc. is a premier project generator to the mining industry. In the search for world-class metallic mineral deposits in mineral-rich Alaska, southwest USA, and Mexico, Millrock identifies, packages and operates large-scale projects for joint venture, thereby exposing its shareholders to the benefits of mineral discovery without the usual financial risk taken on by most exploration companies. Millrock currently has twenty-two active exploration projects, eight gold-copper and zinc properties in Alaska, a porphyry copper prospect in Arizona, a uranium project in New Mexico, and twelve gold, silver and copper projects in Mexico. Funding for Millrock’s exploration projects primarily comes from its joint venture partners. Business partners of Millrock have included some of the leading names in the mining industry: First Quantum, Teck, Kinross, Vale, Inmet and Altius.

The document discusses the need for a common standard or lexicon for defining sustainable products. Currently there is no agreed upon definition, and manufacturers make varying claims about product sustainability that can be difficult for designers to evaluate. A standardized system is needed to comprehensively and consistently measure product sustainability across multiple criteria like materials, emissions, manufacturing processes and end-of-life impacts. This would help designers more easily compare and select products that meet defined sustainable benchmarks.

BP: Example of an Unethical Trifecta
Posted on September 17, 2013 by mensah_henry
From the dawn of time, human beings have relied on the environment to provide with the all the things we need to survive and be successful. It has also helped us develop civilizations and founded industries where there was none. Our exploitation of our environment is part of what makes us successful. The more we have been able to conquer and manipulate our environment, the more we have developed culturally, socially, and economically (Kareiva and Marvier, 2012). The three tenets of culture, society, and economy has been our biggest source of influence in dealing with the environment. Ever since the discovery of oil by the ancient civilizations of Babylonia and Greece, great importance has been placed on our ability to utilize it and the products we get from it (Totten, 2007). Today, the oil industry has grown from nothing to become one of the world’s biggest and most important. British Petroleum (BP) is one of the largest oil companies in the world and a major stakeholder in the United States oil industry.
Although BP has been operating in the United States for a long time, its history and operations have not always been worthy of praise. The company has been in the middle of several issues and held accountable for several incidents that have resulted in the loss of life, property, and massive environmental damage. The United States government has always placed a premium on the environment and its safety and Americans in general are conscious about the environment and what needs to be done to protect it.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the BP Pipeline case (Case 6.25 on pp. 411-422) and to address the following topics:
• Discuss in detail the ethical, negligence, and environmental issues you see in this case.
• BP had rented the rig from Transocean for $500,000 per day. Transocean had been recognized by the U.S. government for its safety record. Can companies distance themselves from liability and responsibility through the use of contractors?
• Discuss how BP got into the position in which it found itself in late 2006 and what might have prevented the spill, the financial fallout, and the loss of reputation. Be sure to factor in the financial implications of any decision made during the period from 2001 to 2006.
• What was the impact of the emphasis in cost cutting on BP’s culture? What was the influence on the company’s performance?
• Evaluate the social responsibility positions of BP in light of the refinery explosion and the pipeline issue. What can companies learn from the BP experience?
British Petroleum has a large operation in the United States and it has made investments to ensure that it develops these operations to maximize its production and increase profits. One such investment was the acquisition of the vast oil field at Prudhoe Bay, .
This document provides a summary of OSHA updates from December 2015 to September 2015. Some key points include:
- Maximum OSHA fines are set to increase for the first time since 1990.
- OSHA is moving to a new enforcement weighting system that assigns more value to complex inspections.
- Over 20 workers in New York have been caught with bogus OSHA cards at construction sites.
- A jury convicted an individual of involuntary manslaughter for ignoring warnings about an imminent construction collapse.
- OSHA recorded 140 fatalities in Region 5 in 2015, up 28 from the previous year. Falls and struck by incidents were among the leading causes.
This document is an investor presentation by Pressure BioSciences, Inc. discussing the company's Pressure Cycling Technology platform for biological sample preparation. Some key points:
- PBI has developed instruments and consumables for pressure cycling technology (PCT), which uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure to rapidly and reproducibly lyse cells and tissues to prepare samples for analysis.
- PCT addresses limitations in current sample preparation methods, providing a multi-billion dollar market opportunity. Over 275 PCT systems have been installed worldwide.
- Recent achievements include eliminating debt, releasing a next-generation instrument, collaborating with SCIEX, and expected revenue growth from new products and expanded sales team.
presentation on voluntary carbon market.pptxSahil731850
The voluntary carbon market is experiencing explosive growth but lacks standards for high-quality carbon credits. WWF-US and EDF are working on a solution called the Carbon Credit Guidance for Buyers (CCG4B) project to provide clear, authoritative ratings and guidance for carbon credit buyers. Phase 1 defined criteria for assessing carbon credit quality through stakeholder consultation. Future phases will develop a robust methodology, apply ratings to project types, and publish a report endorsing guidance on responsible purchasing, navigating the market, and making mitigation claims. The CCG4B aims to help buyers, project developers, and policymakers determine and improve carbon credit quality.

BP: Example of an Unethical Trifecta
Posted on September 17, 2013 by mensah_henry
From the dawn of time, human beings have relied on the environment to provide with the all the things we need to survive and be successful. It has also helped us develop civilizations and founded industries where there was none. Our exploitation of our environment is part of what makes us successful. The more we have been able to conquer and manipulate our environment, the more we have developed culturally, socially, and economically (Kareiva and Marvier, 2012). The three tenets of culture, society, and economy has been our biggest source of influence in dealing with the environment. Ever since the discovery of oil by the ancient civilizations of Babylonia and Greece, great importance has been placed on our ability to utilize it and the products we get from it (Totten, 2007). Today, the oil industry has grown from nothing to become one of the world’s biggest and most important. British Petroleum (BP) is one of the largest oil companies in the world and a major stakeholder in the United States oil industry.
Although BP has been operating in the United States for a long time, its history and operations have not always been worthy of praise. The company has been in the middle of several issues and held accountable for several incidents that have resulted in the loss of life, property, and massive environmental damage. The United States government has always placed a premium on the environment and its safety and Americans in general are conscious about the environment and what needs to be done to protect it.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the BP Pipeline case (Case 6.25 on pp. 411-422) and to address the following topics:
• Discuss in detail the ethical, negligence, and environmental issues you see in this case.
• BP had rented the rig from Transocean for $500,000 per day. Transocean had been recognized by the U.S. government for its safety record. Can companies distance themselves from liability and responsibility through the use of contractors?
• Discuss how BP got into the position in which it found itself in late 2006 and what might have prevented the spill, the financial fallout, and the loss of reputation. Be sure to factor in the financial implications of any decision made during the period from 2001 to 2006.
• What was the impact of the emphasis in cost cutting on BP’s culture? What was the influence on the company’s performance?
• Evaluate the social responsibility positions of BP in light of the refinery explosion and the pipeline issue. What can companies learn from the BP experience?
British Petroleum has a large operation in the United States and it has made investments to ensure that it develops these operations to maximize its production and increase profits. One such investment was the acquisition of the vast oil field at Prudhoe Bay, .
This document provides a summary of OSHA updates from December 2015 to September 2015. Some key points include:

- PCT addresses limitations in current sample preparation methods, providing a multi-billion dollar market opportunity. Over 275 PCT systems have been installed worldwide.
- Recent achievements include eliminating debt, releasing a next-generation instrument, collaborating with SCIEX, and expected revenue growth from new products and expanded sales team.
presentation on voluntary carbon market.pptxSahil731850
The voluntary carbon market is experiencing explosive growth but lacks standards for high-quality carbon credits. WWF-US and EDF are working on a solution called the Carbon Credit Guidance for Buyers (CCG4B) project to provide clear, authoritative ratings and guidance for carbon credit buyers. Phase 1 defined criteria for assessing carbon credit quality through stakeholder consultation. Future phases will develop a robust methodology, apply ratings to project types, and publish a report endorsing guidance on responsible purchasing, navigating the market, and making mitigation claims. The CCG4B aims to help buyers, project developers, and policymakers determine and improve carbon credit quality.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Earth Day How has technology changed our life?
Thinkers/Inquiry • How has our ability to think and inquire helped to advance technology?
Vocabulary • Nature Deficit Disorder~ A condition that some people maintain is a spreading affliction especially affecting youth but also their adult counterparts, characterized by an excessive lack of familiarity with the outdoors and the natural world. • Precautionary Principle~ The approach whereby any possible risk associated with the introduction of a new technology is largely avoided, until a full understanding of its impact on health, environment and other areas is available.
What is technology? • Brainstorm a list of technology that you use everyday that your parents or grandparents did not have. • Compare your list with a partner.
