Mark Edward Whitacre ( born May 1, 1957 ) came to public attention in 1995 when, as president of the BioProducts Division at Archer Daniels Midland ( ADM ), he was the highest-level corporate executive in U. S. history to become a Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) whistleblower.

Lieber reveals that, in 1996, " ADM CEO, Mr. Dwayne Andreas, told The Washington Post that he had known about Whitacre's frauds for three years ” and speculates that Whitacre was fired and turned over to the Federal authorities only after ADM learned he had been working as an FBI mole.

For three years ( 1992 – 1995 ), Whitacre acted as an informant for the FBI, which was investigating ADM for price fixing.

In apparent retaliation for his role as an informant, ADM investigated Whitacre's activities and, upon discovering suspicious activity, requested the FBI investigate Whitacre for embezzlement.

On August 9, 1995, Whitacre was terminated for conducting a $ 9. 5 million fraud after ADM learned that he was an FBI informant for three years, where Whitacre wore a wire for the FBI assisting in one of the largest price fixing cases in U. S. history against ADM.

Lieber suggests that ADM would have not turned Whitacre over to the authorities if he had not been a mole for the FBI.

Paisley concluded that " Whitacre's fraud case was minuscule as compared to the ADM case Whitacre cooperated with .” " Had it not been for the fraud conviction ," Paisley said, " he would be a national hero.

ADM provides robust performance in the presence of bit errors meaning error detection and correction are not typically used in an ADM radio design, this allows for a reduction in host processor workload ( allowing a low-cost processor to be used ). adaptive delta modulation

There have been no direct comparisons made between CBT and ADM specifically for SAD.

It is also home to significant design and screen archives and hosts the Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Art Design & Media ( ADM HEA ).

Royal Navy Stores Duties Instructions, article 447, dated 26 February 1914, specified that flags condemned from further service use were to be torn up into small pieces and disposed of as rags ( ADM 1 / 8369 / 56 ), not to be used for decoration or sold.

Although he broke the back of the Japanese naval airforce by sinking 3 carriers, 2 oilers and destroying about 600 enemy airplanes — so much so that for ADM Halsey in the Battle of Leyte Gulf a few months later the remaining Japanese carriers were used solely as decoys due to the lack of aircraft, and aircrews to fly them — Spruance has been criticized for not being aggressive enough in exploiting his success in the Philippine Sea.

All the Executive Magistrates of the district, except the ADM, are under the control of the DM ; for magisterial duties, the ADM reports directly to the government and not to the DM.

In the Fall of 2006 it was announced that ADM Loy was being honored as the first Chair of the Tyler Institute for Leadership at the US Coast Guard Academy.

Wheeler wanted to reduce physics to geometry in an even more fundamental way than the ADM reformulation of general relativity with a dynamic geometry whose curvature changes with time.

In addition the Lazarus group developed techniques for using early results from a short-lived simulation solving the nonlinear ADM equations, in order to provide initial data for a more stable code based on linearized equations derived from perturbation theory.

He edited an important review ( see citation below ) which contains papers by leading contributors such as ADM ( Arnowitt, Deser, and Misner ), Choquet-Bruhat, Ehlers and Kundt, Goldberg, and Pirani which remain valuable to researchers after the passage of more than 40 years.

With non-seasonal depression, CBT appears to be about as effective as ADM in terms of acute distress reduction ; however, the effects of CBT are shown to be longer lasting than ADM.

The amount of fieldcraft training ADM students receive is significantly lower than CPE students which facilitates expedited qualification on the weapon systems under less stressful conditions.

A few years into the price-fixing investigation, Whitacre confessed to his FBI handlers that he had been involved with corporate kickbacks and money laundering at ADM. Whitacre was later convicted of embezzling US $ 9 million ; some of this criminal activity occurred during the time he was cooperating with the FBI.

In the long term, ADM Loy led the US delegation to the International Maritime Organization ( IMO ), and was instrumental in ensuring that the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code was approved and implemented in 2002.

A subsequent bidding war led to a stock + cash offer from SaskPool and an all-cash offer from JRI to form a private company ; a higher, $ 20. 50 all-cash offer from SaskPool in May eventually prevailed, with 81 % of the limited voting shares being tendered to the Pool by shareholders by the end of May, including all the ADM shares.

In 1971 Andreas became Chief Executive Officer of ADM, and is credited with transforming the firm into an industrial powerhouse — so powerful that by 1996, ADM had been investigated for price-fixing and was assessed the largest antitrust fine in United States history: 100 million dollars.

In 2006, it was announced that ADM will be investing 6. 18 billion dirhams ($ 859 million ) to develop its highway network in 2007.

In the ADM reformulation of general relativity, Wheeler argued that the full Einstein field equation can be recovered once the momentum constraint can be derived, and suggested that this might follow from geometrical considerations alone, making general relativity something like a logical necessity.

Eichenwald, two prosecutors, an FBI agent, and Mark Whitacre ( during his incarceration ) were featured on a September 15, 2000, episode of the radio program This American Life about the ADM case.

" Based on the fact that other ADM executives committed crimes such as financial fraud by a former treasurer and technology thefts by others, Lieber concludes that fraud was well-known and widespread at ADM during the 1990s.

The exception was flags that had flown in action: these could be framed and kept on board, or transferred to a " suitable place ", such as a museum ( ADM 1 / 8567 / 245 ).

In response to the U. S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) mandated labeling of trans-fats on nutritional information by January 1, 2006, Novozymes and ADM worked together to develop a clean, enzymatic process for the interesterification of oils and fats by interchanging saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

From 1998-2004 the company operated a convenience store chain on a franchise basis with ADM Londis.

Although for technical reasons the precise equations formulated in the original ADM paper are rarely used in numerical simulations, most or all practical approaches to numerical relativity use a " 3 + 1 decomposition " of spacetime into three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time that is closely related to the ADM formulation, because the ADM procedure reformulates the Einstein field equations into a constrained initial value problem that can be addressed encoded on a computer for solution.

At the time that ADM published their original paper, computer technology would not have supported numerical solution to their equations on any problem of any substantial size.

Close Precision Engagement ( CPE ) and Advanced Designated Marksman ( ADM ) personnel, also known as counter-snipers, are trained on the use and employment of the M-24, M-107 and / or M-4 equipped with an Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight ( ACOG ).
