Google. Science Center NEMO. ScienceGuide: Google scheutig voor bètavernuft. 23 september 2014 - "Nederlanders houden van het digitale leven: ze behoren tot de meest actieve internetgebruikers wereldwijd.
Maar wij zouden graag zien dat ze ook een van de meest actieve bouwers van het internet worden. " Daarom steekt Google opnieuw geld in PBT en activiteiten van NEMO voor jongeren. Google schenkt $ 1.000.000 dollar aan het Science Center NEMO voor de aanpak van talentontwikkeling van kinderen op het gebied van wetenschap en techniek. Hierbij ontwikkelen basisschoolkinderen de benodigde 21e eeuwse vaardigheden als creativiteit, probleemoplossend vermogen, en ict-geletterdheid. NEMO zal deze investering inzetten met het Platform Bèta Techniek in een programma tot 2019 waarbij kinderen van de basisschoolleeftijd in aanraking gebracht worden met het digitale domein. Met het programma leren kinderen hoe ze 3D-objecten kunnen programmeren en manipuleren. De mooiste kansen.
Conflict of interest. The presence of a conflict of interest is independent of the occurrence of impropriety.
Therefore, a conflict of interest can be discovered and voluntarily defused before any corruption occurs. A widely used definition is: "A conflict of interest is a set of circumstances that creates a risk that professional judgement or actions regarding a primary interest will be unduly influenced by a secondary interest. Green- washing. While greenwashing is not new, its use has increased over recent years to meet consumer demand for environmentally friendly goods and services.
The problem is compounded by lax enforcement by regulatory agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission in the United States, the Competition Bureau in Canada, and the Committee of Advertising Practice and the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice in the United Kingdom. Critics of the practice suggest that the rise of greenwashing, paired with ineffective regulation, contributes to consumer skepticism of all green claims, and diminishes the power of the consumer in driving companies toward greener solutions for manufacturing processes and business operations.[6] Usage[edit] Hotel "greenwashed" laundry card.

Wikipedia: Smithsonian Institution. Founding[edit] The "Castle" (1847), the Institution's first building and still its headquarters British scientist James Smithson (d. 1829) left most of his wealth to his nephew Henry James Hungerford; however, when Hungerford died childless in 1835,[5] the estate passed "to the United States of America, to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge among men.
", in accordance with Smithson's will.[6] Congress officially accepted the legacy bequeathed to the nation, and pledged the faith of the United States to the charitable trust on July 1, 1836.[7] The American diplomat Richard Rush was dispatched to England by President Andrew Jackson to collect the bequest; Rush returned in August, 1838 with 105 sacks containing 104,960 gold sovereigns (about $500,000 at the time).[8][9] Early development[edit] Museums[edit] Collections[edit]
The Billionaire Koch Brothers’ War Against Obama. On May 17th, a black-tie audience at the Metropolitan Opera House applauded as a tall, jovial-looking billionaire took the stage.
It was the seventieth annual spring gala of American Ballet Theatre, and David H. Koch was being celebrated for his generosity as a member of the board of trustees; he had recently donated $2.5 million toward the company’s upcoming season, and had given many millions before that. Koch received an award while flanked by two of the gala’s co-chairs, Blaine Trump, in a peach-colored gown, and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, in emerald green. Kennedy’s mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, had been a patron of the ballet and, coincidentally, the previous owner of a Fifth Avenue apartment that Koch had bought, in 1995, and then sold, eleven years later, for thirty-two million dollars, having found it too small.
Shell Global. Shell sponsorship takes London’s Science Museum into Cheshire classrooms - United Kingdom. Students at Blacon High School in Chester produced and staged their very own science show following an outreach programme organised by the London Science Museum.
Shell UK sponsor the outreach programme which was launched last year and takes its cue from the London Science Museum’s flagship interactive gallery Launchpad. The gallery has been newly transformed with 50 sophisticated exhibits and devices giving children aged 8-14 a hands-on, minds-on introduction to the basic principles of physics.
Launchpad invites young visitors to launch a rocket, capture a multicoloured shadow, turn their head into a sound box and control a magnetic cloud.

Science Museum, London. EXHIBITING NUCLEAR POWER: THE SCIENCE MUSEUM COVER-UP. London's Science Museum — located by the Victoria & Albert and Natural History Museums — features a grandiose Nuclear Power Exhibition that glorifies the Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR).
Such advertising is all the more remarkable at a time of the major public inquiry on PWRs in Britain — Sizewell — and a virtual halt in PWR construction in the USA. How, then, did such an exhibition come about? It's no secret that the UK Atomic Energy Authority (AEA) subsidised most of the Exhibition's costs to the tune of £300,000. But it's not widely known how the AEA's funding bought control over the content. Zoom.it: EXHIBITING NUCLEAR POWER: THE SCIENCE MUSEUM COVER-UP. Zoom.it – Image HlEN. No Clear Reason. Reuters: London Science Museum goes climate science neutral. Anger at opening of Shell-sponsored climate change exhibition. Oil companies should be banned from partnering with public institutions like Tate Modern and the Science Museum, say environmental campaigners.
Shell's £1 million funding for a new exhibition on climate change at the Science Museum was 'ludicrious', they added, given the company's role as one of the world's biggest carbon emitters. 'A decade ago, tobacco companies were seen as respectable partners for public institutions to gain support from,' said Kevin Smith from the campaign group Platform. 'Now it is socially unacceptable for tobacco to play this public role, and it is our hope that oil and gas will soon be seen in the same light, as the public comes to recognise that the sponsorship programmes of BP and Shell are means by which attention is distracted from their impacts on human rights, the environment and the global climate.'

The National Gallery, London: Western European painting 1250–1900. Greenpeace: What's Shell got to celebrate? We've gatecrashed Shell's swanky party at the National Gallery (for the second year running). This time, we've helped Shell launch a new art exhibit, Annus Horribilis: New works in oil.
Shell may have put its Arctic ambitions on hold but we won't stop until the frozen North is put out of their reach. It's been a disastrous year for Shell. The oil giant started 2012 full of bravado but ended it with head in hands as its oil rig, the Kulluk, sat beached off the Alaskan coast. Its drill ship, the Nobel Discoverer, slipped its anchor in a stiff breeze and failed the most basic safety tests. Shell had no choice but to put its plans to exploit the Arctic on ice and send the Kulluk and Nobel Discoverer to Asia for repairs. Greenpeace: Annus Horribilis: New works in oil.

A 1.5 tonne, 16.5 metre-long wind turbine blade carried last month to the Tate Modern by artists objecting to the gallery's sponsorship by oil company BP is being considered for the national art collection. The blade, which for years generated electricity on a Welsh hillside, was renamed by the art collective Liberate Tate as "The Gift", and "installed" in the main turbine hall of the former oil-fired power station. The group then wrote to the Tate gallery director, Sir Nicholas Serota, saying: "We think that it is a work that will fit elegantly in the Tate collection, a work that celebrates a future that gives rather than takes away, a monument to a world in transition.
