Killed or drove away all fish in the region.
When a new underwater volcano formed south of El Hierro island in October 2011, it was the first chance in 500 years to watch the local ecosystem evolve in response to an eruption, says this article on LiveScience.com.
Researcher Eugenio Fraile-Nuez of Spain’s Instituto Español de Oceanografía and his colleagues have been monitoring the volcano since then, measuring its effect on ocean temperature, salinity, carbon dioxide content and more.
“The eruption killed or drove away all of the fish in the region (though many were seen floating dead on the ocean’s surface), the researchers found. Some phytoplankton, or the floating plants that sit at the bottom of the ocean food chain, were able to adapt.”
“Over the crater, the water heated up by as much as 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18.8C), the researchers found. Dissolved oxygen in the water all but disappeared, decreasing by 90 percent to 100 percent in places. Meanwhile, carbon and carbon dioxide values shot up, and the pH of the water went down by 2.8, meaning it became more acidic.”
The water heated up by as much as 65 F? Gee, I wonder what is heating our oceans?
Carbon dioxide values shot up without any help from humans? Hmmmm.
“The underwater eruption killed a massive amount of plankton in deep waters. In their place, a community of carbon-eating bacteria sprung up, many of which shone with bright green fluorescence.”
The article then, predictably, goes on to link the eruption to global warming, saying that “increase in temperature, decrease in oxygen and a more acidic pH is exactly what scientists would expect to be the result of global warming for the ocean.”
Fraile-Nuez and his colleagues detailed their results online this week in the open-access journal Scientific Reports.

Home > Polymers, Specialty Chemicals & Advanced Materials > Sodium Thiosulphate Market
Sodium Thiosulphate Market size is anticipated to grow at a commendable rate between 2023 to 2032, attributed to the rising product demand from the medical and healthcare sectors.
The rising prevalence of chronic renal failure illnesses, in particular, calciphylaxis, is increasing the demand for sodium thiosulfate. Sodium thiosulphate functions as an antioxidant and a calcium-chelating agent which is used for the treatment of calciphylaxis. Some studies indicate that between 1% and 4.5% of dialysis patients experience calciphylaxis, with the majority of these patients being diabetic, obese, and dealing with active liver conditions.
Developments in these sectors are expected to create new business opportunities for market players. Furthermore, rising mining operations across multiple regions, including North America, Asia Pacific, and others could lead the way for sodium thiosulphate market growth over the forthcoming years. According to Gold.org, the total amount of above-ground gold is increased by roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons annually due to worldwide gold mining. In 2022, US mines produced more than USD 98 million of nonfuel mineral commodities which is nearly a 3.8% increase over the 2021 numbers.
Sodium thiosulphate market from medical sector is anticipated to hold a sizable proportion through 2032 as it reduces the side effects of cisplatin, a cancer medication. STS is utilized as an intravenous therapy for toxicities and metal poisoning. As a neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory medication, it has been found effective in numerous in vitro tests like the treatment of neurodegenerative illnesses such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. The rising rates of these disorders would improve the market outlook. According to NIH, nearly 5.5 million Americans are believed to be affected by Alzheimer's disease and the number is expected to keep rising in the coming years.
Asia Pacific sodium thiosulphate market will increase at a substantial rate through 2032 due to the expanding product demand in the fields of water treatment, medicine, and paper production. The requirement for STS is anticipated to increase because of the growing investments in water treatment chemicals across India and China.
The sodium thiosulphate industry is anticipated to make significant gains from the food grade sector. Health authorities have determined that STS, a common food additive, is generally safe when used in the recommended dosages for food preservation. The substance is a potent antioxidant when employed in food processing, suggesting that it aids in preventing food oxidation, which can cause problems with the flavor, texture, and odor of the food products. Moreover, STS functions as a sequestrant, drawing certain ions that inhibit fat oxidation.
Sodium thiosulphate market key players includes Merck KGaA (E. Merck KG), NISSEI CORPORATION (Brother Industries), INEOS Group AG (INEOS Limited), Seidler Chemical Co., Skyline Chemical Corporation, Hubbard-Hall, Liyang Qingfeng Fine Chemical Co. Ltd. To establish a dominant position in the international market, these market players are engaging in strategic initiatives like mergers and acquisitions, product launches, and collaborations.
For instance, in 2022, Merck KGaA it is considering large-scale acquisitions of biopharmaceutical businesses from 2023. Such efforts are expected to foster growth opportunities in the global sodium thiosulphate industry.

America’s discovery and the formation of Triangular Trade between Europe, Africa, and the Americas drove many new advancements in technology and economics. For example, inflation caused the capitalism’s popularity to rise, new goods were discovered, and European empires thrived. As the Europeans discovered, the Americas contained many resources such as silver, gold, spices, and other valuable goods that were sold to make a surplus of profit. Later on, such resources were farmed using African American slave labor. Quote A exemplifies the benefits for many upper class Europeans and American slave owners. A.S. writes, “One of the principal effects of those discoveries has been to raise the trading system to a degree of splendour and glory.” The
During the 1840, the United States was able to access much more land in the west than previously before. The United States saw this as an opportunity to expand their territories and to settle and obtain all things the land has to offer. The United States justified their actions through the idea of Manifest Destiny, which they viewed to be a harmless and benevolent philosophy. Manifest Destiny was in fact not as benign as the United States has come to believe; it caused the colonization and imperialism of land that held many Natives who were eventually killed or sent into reservations. People in the southern region of the conquered land were greatly influenced by this expansion as well; it caused many families who were living in the Texas area
With them came smallpox, measles, chicken pox, influenza, and many other diseases. “Before the arrival of Columbus, Native American disease wasn’t dominant in the land. Due to the lack of exposure of disease in their younger years, Native Americans were vulnerable to the European diseases that would come with the Columbian Exchange. The diseases would soon destroy many societies of the ancient Aztec, Maya, and Inca. Through many estimates it is foreseen that alien diseases caused over 50% deaths of the Native American population. On the other hand, Europeans didn’t have the same effect when they came in contact with these diseases. Exposed to the diseases at an early age, Europeans were mostly to fully immune. With the devastating effects of disease, native culture was starting to change. Persuaded that their native gods have abandoned them, many natives converted to Christianity. Forced by disease, natives usually married relatives that survived the diseases since appropriate partners were scarce. Furthermore, disease also influenced the African Slave Trade to the Americas. With Africans being immune to Old World diseases other than the Native Americans, many Europeans preferred the African as the better slave.”(The Great Disease Migration)
Prior to the discovery of the New World by Europeans, Native Americans populated what is presently North and South America in massive numbers; however, due to massive population loss, mainly caused by diseases introduced by Europeans and Africans, the Native Americans were unfortunately forced to live as inferiors to the Europeans.
The Columbian Exchange occurred when Columbus arrived in the new world and disease, culture, crops, and animals were traded. This swap caused the great biological exchange. When the Spanish and later English came over to the new world along with crops and animals they also brought disease. Europeans, living among many diseases, had built immunity to the ailment, but since the natives had never been exposed to the illnesses they had no immunity and the disease quickly spread. The Europeans, unintentionally, started an epidemic that would spread throughout the Americas and single handedly kill millions of Natives. Europeans brought diseases such as cholera, malaria, measles, mumps, smallpox, typhoid, and yellow fever to name a few. The only known disease that the Natives probably had was syphilis. Although the Europeans inadvertently shared their diseases they did share other
The Native Americans were the original owners of the United States of America. However, due to the population increase in Europe, the European migrated to America in seek of land for farming, settlement, and spread their religion (Desai, n.p). The two communities lived together and interacted with each other. Nevertheless, the Native American also known to as the Red Indians and the Settlers had differences in many aspects of their economy, religion, and culture. In some situation, it is hard to identify their disparities. On the other hand, the dissimilarities are easily identified. Additionally, there are similarities between these two nations. Culture is the outline of human
The Columbian Exchange between the new world and the old world significantly change people’s lives. After 1492, Europeans brought in horses to America which changes the nomadic Native American groups’ living from riding on buffalos to horses. This interchange also change the diet of the rest of the world with foods such as corns (maize), potatoes which are major diet for European nowadays. Besides all the animals from old world to the new world, Spanish also brought in the diseases that Native Americans were not immune of, such as smallpox which led to a large amount of Native Americans’ deaths.
Though Christopher Columbus was not the first to discover the Incipient World, his landing in the Incipient World in 1492 was consequential: it commenced a period kenned as the Age of Exploration. During this age, European explorers strived to find trade routes and acquire wealth from the Incipient World. Unlike most European countries, England got such a tardy start in the colonization game. As a result, English settlements were concentrated along the East Coast of North America. Among the prosperous English colonies, two categorically paramount English colonies were Jamestown (in modern day Virginia) and Massachusetts Bay Colony. Economically, these two colonies are kindred. Their relationship with the Native Americans was homogeneous and
When the Europeans began colonizing the New World, they had a problematic relationship with the Native Americans. The Europeans sought to control a land that the Natives inhabited all their lives. They came and decided to take whatever they wanted regardless of how it affected the Native Americans. They legislated several laws, such as the Indian Removal Act, to establish their authority. The Indian Removal Act had a negative impact on the Native Americans because they were driven away from their ancestral homes, forced to adopt a different lifestyle, and their journey westwards caused the deaths of many Native Americans.
Throughout the late 1400’s and the 1500’s, the world experienced many changes due to the discoveries of new lands and peoples that had been never been visited before. The new-found lands of the Americas and exploration of Africa by the Europeans led to new colonies and discoveries in both areas. It also brought different societies and cultures together that had never before communicated, causing conflict in many of these places. While the Europeans treated both the Native Americans and West Africans as inferior people, the early effects they had on the Native Americans were much worse.
Europeans began exploring the Americas in late 15th century. This had many effects on both the land of the Americas and the Native Americans that inhabited them. Many of the Native American cultures perished with the coming if the Europeans while some survived. A good deal of the Native American cultures that did survive, were very small. The Europeans did not mean to find the Americas, in fact, they were on a voyage to find a new route to Asia and The Indies. There are many effects of the Europeans voyages to the Americas that have effects on today’s society.
The Colombian exchange created a great cultural impact on The Americas which can be seen even today. Wiping out up to ninety percent of Native Americans, the settlers that came to America created a biological imperialism on another scale. The demand from European countries for exportation quickly created a market that settlers could benefit from and Native Americans could not compete with. Deforestation started on a massive scale due to the high availability of lumber, and seas quickly started to be depleted of fish. The introduction of livestock and agriculture created an environmental revolution. Wheat, oats, and barely are all new foods brought to the Americas which also had weeds in between the seeds which displaced native flora and fauna.
The many effects of one culture encountering another for the first time can be hard to account for. It doesn’t happen like it used to in this global society we currently live in. However a long time ago it was a tremendous ordeal for so many reasons. One of the most pivotal and historic occurrences of one culture of humans encountering another is called “The great biological exchange”.

Very recently on Thursday, Germany informed its citizens to use vigilance if by any chance they are traveling to Turkey. Also, highlighted measures that have the possibility to hold back German investment there, in a sign of increasing annoyance with a NATO ally after the custody of rights activists.
The Bild newspaper explained the government sources said that Berlin is yet to release the arms projects with Ankara as its still on hold.
Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel emphasized alarm at what Berlin views as kind of an increasing volatility of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan. “Everyone can be affected. The most absurd things are possible,” he said in advice to travelers.
Gabriel called off his vacation plans to handle the crisis after Turkey imprisoned six human rights activists which included German national Peter Steudtner on the charge of terrorism, the newest addition in a chain of diplomatic rows.
Germany, Turkey’s chief export partner, described the accusation as ridiculous.
“We need our policies towards Turkey to go in a new direction…we can’t continue as we have done,” Gabriel informed the reporters in a strangely direct language while dealing with sensitive commercial matters including corporate investment guarantees.
In return, the Turkish foreign ministry expressed that it would surely make the “necessary response” as a reply to the comments it described as unfair.

Probably one of my favorite collections are Vintage Recipe Boxes!! I love the tin boxes with the bright colors and cute pictures, even better if they are full of yellowed, handwritten recipe cards.
I started my collection with the red box above. Then it was like I began to notice them at every Antique store I walked into and I would pick them up. I had quite the collection but I decided to give them as gifts with handmade recipe cards for Christmas a couple of years ago... so now I am down to just a few favorites.
I am sure my collection of Recipe boxes will increase again though. There are so may uses for these fun containers! At the moment I use the majority of mine to store little craft bits in my studio.

Ravens in flight: Jonathan Toman, Tom Sheerin, Dessie Sheerin, Carmel Sheerin, Danny Sheerin
Irish bluegrass band Carmel Sheerin & the Ravens will tour the U.S. this summer. The band is currently finalizing their second album with multi-Grammy-winning Nashville producer Bil VornDick, who also signed them to a publishing deal. 'Very rarely do you get a chance to work with a family band of three brothers and a sister as the lead vocalist. There is something about family bands and their harmony that can raise the hairs on the back of your neck. They have the European flair in their music that is so appealing', said VornDick.
The European Bluegrass Music Association (EBMA) voted Carmel Sheerin & the Ravens the #1 European Bluegrass Band in 2005, and they represented Europe recently at the International Bluegrass Music Association's World of Bluegrass conference that was held at the Nashville Convention Center this past September.
Carmel Sheerin & the Ravens have scaled new heights in the past year and performed on the international scene, at a level most Irish bluegrass bands could only aspire to. In America, this band is being mentioned in the same breath as artists such as Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, and Tim O'Brien. This is mainly down to the unique sound of Carmel on lead vocals and the band singing clean harmonies throughout. The forthcoming album consists of a lot of the band's own material, and some collaborations with top American and Irish bluegrass songwriters, including Tim O'Brien (IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year & Song of the Year Winner 2006), Charlie McGettigan, and Niall Toner.

Daniel Ruiz, age 10, survived the Uvalde, Texas school shooting that killed his cousin and 20 others.
He wasn’t hit by any bullets. But he still has scars.
Now he is living with survivor’s guilt. His mom recently shared a drawing he made that shows what that looks like for a child.
Before the shooting, Daniel was a typical kid — he loved football, hanging out with his siblings and playing with his cousin, 9-year-old Ellie Garcia. A talkative jokester, especially at home, Daniel was always smiling.
That all changed on May 24, 2022, when a 18-year-old former student entered Daniel’s school armed with an AR 15-style rifle, after shooting his own grandmother.
Daniel can’t forget the moment he locked eyes with the shooter as he attempted to enter his classroom at Robb Elementary.
“He told me that he had never seen a face so evil,” Daniel’s mother, Briana Ruiz, tells TODAY.com. “He felt like the devil was staring at him.”
Unable to get into his classroom, the shooter shot inside the room, striking Daniel’s teacher and a student. Eventually, Daniel, his classmates and his teacher escaped out a broken classroom window.
“Me and my friend Lucas, we were helping other kids get out of the classroom,” Daniel tells TODAY.com. “We had to climb on the teacher’s chair and it was one of those spinning chairs, so we had to hold it still for the students.”
Daniel survived. Two teachers and 19 students, including Ellie, did not. On the car ride home that day, his mom says, Daniel just sobbed and kept saying: “She’s dead. She’s dead, mom.”
“I wasn’t able to save her,” Daniel says.
That evening, Briana used tweezers to pull shards of glass from the broken window out of her son’s arm. She fears that his survivor’s guilt will be there forever.
‘The boy I left at school that morning is gone’
Two weeks after the shooting, Daniel broke down crying after one of his younger siblings asked to go play at Ellie’s house.
His words that day haunt his mother.
“He said: ‘It’s my fault! It’s my fault! If I would have been with her I could have saved her or I would have died with her,” Briana says, crying. “That’s when he started yelling that he wished that the shooter would have gone into his class and killed him, too.”
Briana calmed her son down, then immediately called a doctor.
The next day, the doctor told Briana that Daniel was suicidal — the young boy told them he “wished he wasn’t here anymore so he didn’t have to feel pain,” she says.
“It broke my heart,” she adds. “This little boy who I know has such a big heart — who was always laughing and acting silly — wasn’t there anymore. The boy I left at school that morning is gone.”
Research has found that mass shooting survivors are “at greater risk for mental health difficulties” than other trauma survivors, according to the American Psychological Association. The National Center for PTSD estimates that about 28% of survivors develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and one-third develop acute stress disorder.
‘I wish I would have considered myself a survivor’
Salli Garrigan, now 40, was a junior at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999.
“My day began in the most unremarkable way,” Garrigan tells TODAY.com. “I was in my choir class — that was always my safe haven.”
Then, she says, “pandemonium broke.”
“We could feel kids running in the hallway, and that’s when a part of my body just said: ‘Run,'” she says. “I started to go out one exit and a teacher in the hallway said: ‘Don’t, they’re coming up!’ So I turned the other way and went out another door.”
Fifteen people were killed, including Garrigan’s friends Corey DePooter and Rachel Scott.
“On that day, I was leaving the library when a lot of friends were going in and some of them did not survive,” she says. “That’s the hardest part — being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s all timing, and it’s just so hard knowing that I just passed those people and I took that moment for granted.”
Garrigan, now a stay-at-home mom of two living in New York, says she “never considered herself a victim” because, at the time, a victim or a survivor was “someone who was physically injured.”
“I ran and got out quickly and unscathed, so in my mind it was: ‘I got out,'” she says. “I wish I would have just considered myself a survivor and a victim at that time,” she says, so that she could have understood why she was suffering from depression, anxiety and PTSD.
“It was a fight I had: Why do I have all these feelings? Why do I still have this guilt?'” she adds.
When a 19-year-old shot and killed 17 people inside Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in 2018, she realized how much guilt she was carrying. She got involved with Everytown for Gun Safety, an advocacy group, which she says has helped her heal. One 2018 study found that attending community events, like memorials, can help survivors cope after a mass violence event.
Still, Garrigan says her survivor’s guilt remains.
“You always feel guilty. You ask yourself: Why didn’t it stop with us?’” she says. “Just imagine if it had stopped with us — Uvalde wouldn’t have happened.”
‘I miss her coming over and having fun and being happy’
Briana says therapy sessions are helping Daniel dig into his trauma and work through his guilt. He is back at school, and he says that while at first he felt nervous, “now I’m kind of getting used to the school routine again.”
Still, his thoughts remain with his 19 peers and two teachers who died.
“I miss Ellie coming over and having fun and being happy,” he says. When he thinks of Ellie and his friends who died, he says, “They did good (during the school shooting) — there was no screaming or yelling. Kids tried to protect themselves.”
His mom says Daniel is on medication to treat his anxiety and depression. At times he lashes out in anger, remembering the moment he saw the shooter.
“He said: ‘I was too scared, I should have stood up,'” Briana says. “He said maybe the cops would have seen (the shooter) standing there and they would have shot him.”
Police waited 77 minutes to enter the school and confront the gunman, a delay that has been heavily criticized for contributing to the high death toll.
Daniel still blames himself for Ellie’s death.
In December, Daniel drew a picture for Ellie. He wrote a message to her at the top: “I’m sorry I let you down. I’m sorry I let you die.”
Briana says she tries to help him, but she doesn’t always know what to do.
“There are times when he tells me things or asks me things and I don’t know how to answer him. I’m stuck. I just try my best to validate the things he is feeling,” his mom says.
“I say: ‘You have to see that she knew — she knew that you were always there for her. I know you’re struggling and I know it’s hard. Now, she’s your guardian angel. Now, she’s the one protecting you.”

Interests: carbon dioxide reduction; environmental catalysis; porous materials; nano-materials; energy-related applications
The post-industrial revolution world is facing two major challenges, namely an energy crisis and global warming. The hydrogenation of exhausted CO2 to fuel (closing the loop of carbon recycling) provides an energy storage solution for intermittent renewable sources, which can be then used as fuel or feedstock for consumer products; therefore, becoming a viable technological solution to current energy shortage and sustainability issues. Although many efforts have been made in relation to catalytic CO2 methanation, effectively activating the thermodynamically-stable CO2 molecule continues to be an obstacle, as it requires high temperatures and is an energy-intensive process.
The catalytic reduction of CO2 by H2 can lead to the formation of several types of products, such as CO produced through the reverse water–gas shift (RWGS) reaction, methanol generated via selective hydrogenation, and hydrocarbons formed through combination of CO2 reduction with Fischer–Tropsch (FT) reactions. Investigations into these routes reveal that the stabilization of key reaction intermediates is critically important for controlling catalytic selectivity. Precious metals, such as Pt, Rh, and Ru, supported on various oxides (e.g., Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, CeO2, and ZrO2) are well known to promote CO2 reduction under relatively mild operating conditions; however, their high cost, as well as limited availability, restrict their practical application.
Research articles in all areas of heterogeneous catalysis including deactivation and poisoning of catalysts, microwave/ultrasonic/plasma assisted catalysis, high throughput experimentation, mechanistic studies, new reaction media (supercritical solvents, ionic liquids, etc.), preparation and modification of catalysts, reaction kinetics and engineering aspects, spectroscopic characterization, surface science, theory and modelling, transport effects (heat of mass) from both experimental and computational perspectives are encouraged. Articles focusing on bimetallic/alloy catalysts, colloidal catalysts, mesoporous materials, metal catalysts (solid, supported or not), metal oxides, self-assembled catalysts, sol–gel catalysts, supported catalysts, zeolites, perovskite, and spinel are welcome as well.

Title: CO2 hydrogenation to long chain hydrocarbons
Author: Eric van Steen
Affiliation: University of Cape Town, South Africa
Abstract: The reduction of the carbon footprint of an overall process may be achieved by the hydrogenation of CO2 provided that a hydrogen source is available which can be produced with minimal or without CO2-generation. The formation of long chain hydrocarbons in CO2-hydrogenation is attractive here, since they can be easily stored in the liquid form (or used as a fuel reducing thus the fossil fuel usage). Here, we examine thermodynamic aspects of CO2 hydrogenation and the resulting process options. We further look at the catalysts for direct CO2 hydrogenation and in particular at the phase stability of the various phases. Furthermore, the reported results in the direct CO2 hydrogenation will be compared.

The Nationwide Cattlemen’s Beef Affiliation (NCBA) has petitioned USDA’s Meals Security and Inspection Service (FSIS) for a brand new labeling scheme for beef merchandise.
The petition, assigned to the FSIS Workplace of Coverage and Program Improvement, is being thought of for rulemaking. It’s the second petition obtained by FSIS this yr.
The Denver-based NCBA needs to eradicate the so-called “Product of the USA” (POTUSA) and different labels that make broad claims in regards to the origin of beef merchandise as a result of they’re more likely to mislead shoppers.
The petition promotes a brand new part for labeling laws as follows:
“Single-ingredient beef product or floor beef could also be labeled as ‘Processed within the USA,’ offered that such label shows all necessary options in a distinguished method in compliance with Half 317 and isn’t in any other case false or deceptive in any specific method. All different claims referring to U.S. origin, manufacturing, or product processing will not be eligible for generic approval, and FSIS acceptance of all such claims have to be supported by sufficient documentation. The necessities on this paragraph don’t apply to merchandise approved for export by FSIS.”
The NCBA is the oldest and largest nationwide commerce affiliation representing U.S. cattle producers, with greater than 25,000 direct members and greater than 250,000 producers represented by way of its 46 state affiliate associations.
Within the petition, the NCBA requests the promulgation of a federal rule to replace present labeling requirements in a method that may extra precisely inform shoppers.
The beneficial change continues to allow, with out the necessity for any documentation or company prior overview, the voluntary use of the declare “Processed within the USA” on any federally inspected product.
Extra particular voluntary claims, equivalent to “Raised and Harvested within the USA,” would proceed to require applicable overview, verification, and oversight throughout the FSIS label approval system. events would additionally stay free to discover the event of associated Course of Verified Packages (PVPs) by way of AMS or various third-party certification mechanisms.
FSIS labeling requirements are broadly permissive, permitting imported beef to be labeled as a “Product of the USA” if it undergoes minimal processing or repackaging in the US.
The change sought by NCBA is just not a request for USDA to reinstate any type of MCOOL (Necessary Nation of Origin Labeling), based on the group.
As a substitute, NCBA requests that the USDA replace present labeling practices to stability regulated stakeholder burden and mandatory shopper disclosure extra successfully.
By limiting generic labels to “Processed within the U.S.,” retailers and processers can label their merchandise precisely with out the added burden of monitoring the product’s origin, based on the petition.
“Not solely would such a change enhance the accuracy of labels, however possible develop the worth of voluntary origin labeling applications,” NCBA says. “Producers who select to hint their cattle by way of the provision chain ought to be pretty compensated for his or her effort.”
The federal authorities’s basic coverage ensures that meals supplied on the market in interstate commerce doesn’t bear false or deceptive labels, NCBA provides. Modifying label laws will higher inform American shoppers and open new advertising and marketing alternatives for producers, NCBA claims.

Do you have a loved one who has been recently diagnosed with a form of memory loss? As families with loved ones living with the disease will tell you, planning early for long term care is an important step. While many people with memory loss or dementia issues can continue to live independently for awhile, it’s likely they’ll eventually need Dallas Dementia Care Facility. The luxury of living in the DFW area is beneficial, as it gives families a lot of different choices from which to choose.
Let’s face it, the average family doesn’t want to be burdened with having to make the right or wrong decision or having to feel guilty about it. As you might be experiencing at the moment, the caregiver is the one that experiences the most guilt and stress when caring for someone with a cognitive memory impairment.
Nobody knows when is the right time to make that decision of having to bring an agency into one’s home to assist with care needs or find the appropriate Dementia Care Dallas Facility. Often times, the caregiver is questioning every move and decision that they make. Caregivers often ask me when is the right time to decide to move a family member. I tell each family the answer is when it’s becoming too stressful and too hard for the caregiver to live their own life.
Below is a recent testimonial that I received from a family, that I had the opportunity to assist them with finding the best Dementia Care Dallas Facility for their family member:
“I had gotten your name from a Senior Living Executive Director as they thought you would be the right person for me to talk with since you had gone through this with your own mom. You provided us with resources that we didn’t know that existed and helped me to find a good caregiver support group. Your help throughout the entire process was vital and you were a great coach to me in many ways.” ” Angela T. Dallas, TX

Please contact me (Paul) by email at firstname.lastname@example.org or call me at 214.929.5055, if there are any questions on how we can help to find the best solutions for Dementia Care Dallas options for your family. As a reminder, there is no cost to each person that contacts us, as Senior Living Specialists is compensated a fixed referral fee if somebody were to move into a senior living option as my company is intended to be a non-biased third party service.

Six reasons Texas should kill the margin tax
In its current form, the Texas margin tax dates to 2005, when the state overhauled its franchise tax to raise money for school financing. The margin tax was sold as a fair, transparent way for the state to raise needed revenue. In practice, the tax hasn’t lived up to these standards. In fact, the margin tax represents everything people hate about paying taxes.
1. It’s complicated. The margin tax includes four different methods for calculating a business’ tax base, multiple tax rates and numerous deductions and exemptions, all making it difficult to even summarize how the tax works in practice. In some cases, a company may find it costs more to calculate what they owe than what they will actually pay. The law’s complexity has also resulted in several high-profile lawsuits, as businesses have sought refuge in the courts from bureaucratic uncertainty.
2. It’s unfair. Economists long have criticized gross-receipts taxes because they disproportionately burden some types of businesses more than others. Unlike a retail sales tax, which is imposed once at the end of the production and distribution process, a gross-receipts tax (like the margin tax) can apply at multiple points along the way. A company that buys lumber to build doll-houses, for example, could end up paying higher effective rates than a service-oriented business, like a law firm.
3. It’s hidden. Each time a good or service is taxed, the cost of the tax is passed on to the next buyer in the form of higher prices. The cost of the margin tax is therefore borne largely by consumers, rather than businesses themselves. But unlike a retail sales tax, people have no way to know just how much the tax is costing them in the form of higher prices.
4. It’s bad for business…and everyone else. According to recent analysis by University of Texas at San Antonio professors John Merrifield and Corey DeAngelis, personal income in Texas is between $30.5 billion and $46.3 billion lower than it would be if the margin tax had never been enacted.
5. It doesn’t raise much money. Perhaps surprisingly, given the economic damage it causes, the margin tax hasn’t proven very effective at raising revenue. When originally enacted, the margin tax was projected to bring in $5.9 billion in revenue a year. Instead, revenue from the margin tax totaled only $4.5 billion in 2008 and $4 billion in 2009.
6. It puts Texas at a competitive disadvantage. The margin tax is making Texas out of step with other states. Only four other states have a gross receipts tax, and several states have recently moved to repeal their versions of similar taxes. Just last year, voters in Nevada rejected a proposal to enact a gross-receipts tax along Texas lines. The margin tax’s continued existence is a serious drag on Texas’ economic competitiveness. According to a study by the Tax Foundation, were Texas to repeal the margin tax, it would immediately jump from 10th to 3rd in the rankings of states with the most business-friendly climates.
Given the large volume of tax revenue currently flowing into state coffers, repealing the margin tax is not only possible, it may be necessary to prevent the temptation to overspend. More than a half-dozen bills already have been filed this session that would either phase out or immediately repeal the margin tax. The Legislature should follow through and put the tax out of its misery.

Every month we love to give you our favourite West Coast Swing songs of the moment! Some may be old, some may be new – but these are the jams we’re loving right now!
West Coast Swing Music is so broad – which is one of the reasons we love it so much. We dance to anything from Aretha Franklin to Justin Bieber! Generally speaking, West Coast Swing is best danced to music that is in 4/4 rhythm and is somewhere in (or around) the 90-120bpm range.
Some of the most popular genres in West Coast Swing are:
Contemporary – This would include Pop Music, Hip Hop, or anything that you’d hear in the Top 40. Basically what is currently popular.
Blues / Soul – The heart & soul of West Coast Swing! This is where the “swing” gets into WCS. Think of artists like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Aretha Franklin, John Mayer, etc.
Acoustic / Remakes – Stripped down, remade, or remixed versions of popular songs. This is probably the most popular genre in West Coast Swing at the moment.
Enjoy! Catch you on the dance floor!!


The integration of smartphones and social media into everyday life has massively expanded marketing opportunities. But the ease of publishing content online also means anyone can become a content creator with the click of a mouse.
So how do companies make their content stand out in the endless sea of ad campaigns and marketing tactics?
According to Sam Chapman, by creating intentional and genuine content.
Sam is the content director for Aprimo, a company that helps other businesses manage their marketing assets. He chatted with me about what today’s consumers are looking for in their content—and what will drive them away.
Don’t make content transactional
Free content is available anywhere, anytime, on any topic.
So if you want people to look for and engage with your content, Sam says you have to give it away freely, without asking for anything in return.
“In this new information economy and just the crushing sheer weight of Big Content, with the amount of content out there, if you’re asking for something, if you’re getting too transactional, I’m not going to listen to it,” Sam said.
People won’t take time to sift through content if it costs them too much time or money. They’ll just move on to something different that fits their needs.
You have to think of marketing as a bi-directional relationship.
“We know that tactics are changing,” Sam said. “They’re shifting from B2B, B2C—the lines are blurring. But they need to know how to engage with us. It’s like governing dynamics for content marketing.”
Offer genuine, no-strings-attached content to give potential customers a taste of what your business is like, so they’ll be more willing to engage with you down the line.
Adapt to non-linear strategies
Traditional marketing expects the customer to go directly to a company’s website, but that’s not how today’s world works.
“How do you buy a shirt or a backpack or a fire pit?” Sam asked. “You get 12 tabs open, you probably shut it down. You come back to it. These individual buying experiences are not only for the B2C world. So everyone’s going to do their research on you before they get to your website.”
Your relationship with potential customers doesn’t begin when they click your URL. Most customers will research companies and brands long before they ever go on a company website, and by that time, first impressions are already set.
Don’t wait for potential customers to find you. Make sure you set up a positive experience for people so they know what to expect from your company.
“You’ve got to put stuff out there to initiate a trustworthy, engaging experience that makes them more comfortable going to where they know they’re going to get hit with the marketing,” Sam said.
If you can build trust before a potential customer even goes on your website, you’ve built a solid foundation for your brand.
Develop authentic connections
Customers won’t buy into your brand if they think you aren’t being genuine, so avoid inauthentic gimmicks.
For Sam this is especially challenging, because Aprimo’s client base is other marketers.
“I always think about the Ernest Hemingway collection called On Writing, and he writes, ‘every writer needs a built-in shock-proof shit detector,’” Sam said. “And as marketers, we have that. We can spot the marketing platitudes and the buzzword bingo. And you’ve got to know that they know that.”
When you’re marketing to people who know all the basic moves, it’s like performing card tricks in front of a room full of magicians. You can’t rely on smoke and mirrors; you have to know what you’re doing and do it well.
You have to build an intentional, authentic plan to get—and keep—the interest of your customers.
“You want to guide them through a pathway,” Sam said. “Again, a frictionless path, that gets them to something where they can actually get into the consideration mode and say, ‘Okay, I want to talk to you. Yeah, that seems like it fits my needs.’”
Honesty and transparency will get you further than flashy marketing techniques, especially when your customers use the same methods you do.
Build an ongoing conversation
Locking in clients isn’t a simple process, and content marketers don’t always get the satisfaction of seeing a successful beginning-middle-end marketing story.
“It’s not about these waterfall experiences,” Sam said. “It’s not about saying, okay, I’m going to build an end-to-end thing and put it out there, and then there’ll be the next thing. It’s about being able to build an ongoing conversation.”
Building a conversation requires constant adjustments to see what’s working and what isn’t, and it can feel less rewarding when you can’t see the direct correlation between your work and skyrocketing sales numbers.
If you want to see the value of content creation, you have to look at the bigger picture.
“Everyone who’s got skin in the game needs to be aware of that broader ecosystem of thought in order to, I think, really not only appreciate and get appreciated for what they do, but to see the value and say, ‘Okay, I’m going to put a little extra of myself into this rather than just banging it out.’”
With content marketing, what you’re creating is so much more expansive than a once-and-done campaign—you just have to be aware of it.
Prioritize quality content
Marketing content is sometimes seen as a throwaway or an extra—something to do if you have time.
But content creation needs to be a foundational part of what your company does, not a last-minute addition.
“Getting content a seat at the strategy table, it seemed often as an afterthought, like almost the exhaust of what our company does,” Sam said. “So we’re a company, we’re up here doing our things, and our exhaust downstream is what we’ll create content out of. No, that’s not how it needs to work.”
For Sam, that means leveraging content creators to define your company: your differentiation, what you should and shouldn’t say, and even your market position.
“It’s back to that intersection,” Sam said. “It’s kind of the Milan of tech design, journalism, asset management publishing brand, to build an executive business level platform of storytelling that defines and drives what you do.”
Since content is what defines your company, it should lead the way in your strategy and planning, not tag along as an afterthought.
Your content affects every aspect of your business, so be sure to build something worth keeping.

Welsh-language and Māori musicians take centre stage
3 May 2023
Welsh-language music and the Māori punk scene will be explored as part of an international research project.
Academics from Cardiff University are collaborating with colleagues at the University of Waikato in New Zealand to find points of connection between te reo Māori (the Māori Language), te ao Māori (the Māori world/world view) and Welsh-language culture through the lens of grassroots music.
Musicians from both Cymru (Wales) and Aotearoa (New Zealand) will be brought together, kicking off at the forthcoming FOCUS Wales festival, where Māori band Half/Time are set to perform alongside Welsh bands, including CHROMA, Adwaith and Lemfreck. Researchers will also be there interviewing artists about their experiences.
Dr Elen Ifan, based at Cardiff University’s School of Welsh, explained: “It’s a musical exchange as well as an opportunity to gather and share thoughts about what it means to perform music in a minority language. We will be interviewing musicians and creative practitioners, as well as analysing songs as cultural texts as part of the research.
“We hope this project will be of real benefit to up-and-coming musical talent in both Cymru and Aotearoa.”
As well as academic research, there will also be a creative aspect to the project, with an Instagram profile that will act as a collaborative digital journal. This will allow artists and researchers to explore the themes of the project through film, text and images.
Later in the year, academics and one Welsh language artist will travel to Aotearoa with a member of Focus Wales to gain first-hand experience of the emerging Māori punk music scene and develop further collaboration with academics at Waikato University. There will be an open call for musicians to apply for the opportunity later in the year.
Dr Joseph O’Connell, based at Cardiff University’s School of Music, said: “The Welsh language saw a huge regeneration in younger generations through the DIY music scene of the Eighties and Nineties and again more recently with artists like Adwaith and Gwenno gaining recognition across the world.
“The Māori punk music scene is relatively new in Aotearoa, and we’d like to show our support of the movement through this exciting international exchange. Although thousands of miles apart, there is much that both cultures can learn from each other.”
Wairehu Grant, guitarist with Half/Time, who is conducting his PhD on the creative and ideological crossovers between Māori and punk culture at the University of Waikato, said: “As someone who is still in the process of relearning te reo Māori, music has proven to be a powerful tool for engaging with the language of my whakapapa (ancestors) through performance and collaboration. It has helped to shift my headspace from one of embarrassment over my lack of knowledge, to one of hope and excitement for all that I have yet to learn.
“I'm really looking forward to hearing more on the experiences of musicians in Cymru and the ways in which music has enabled the members of this panel to engage or reengage with their mother tongue.”
Andy Jones, Co-Founder & Music Programmer, FOCUS Wales said: “We're so pleased to be hosting Half/Time as part of FOCUS Wales 2023 in Wrexham. This feels like in important early part of the process as we embark on this learning journey and cultural exchange between our music community here in Wales and the Māori music community in New Zealand.
“We believe there is so much to be gained from this project which we hope can enrich our respective music communities moving forward, and it's a privilege for FOCUS Wales to be able to play our part alongside Cardiff University, and other partners.”
In 2021, Cardiff University and the University of Waikato signed a strategic partnership, to foster improved links between the two institutions.
A panel discussion about language, identity and creativity in Welsh and Māori grassroots music takes place on 11 May.
Half/Time’s visit to Cymru was made possible thanks to funding from the British Council.

With the upcoming Palladium OS from Microsoft, the RIAA and MPAA breathing down our necks and clawing at our pockets for money that's 'rightfully' theirs, and blockheaded, anti-competitive patents, it just makes me want to crawl into a hole in the ground with Linux and a link to the open source world.
It seems now more than ever with all the emerging technology that big corporations and conglomerations are trying to use the government to secure their existence (and profitablility). It was probably a mistake from the get-go to treat corporations as an entity as a person is treated rather than a non-existant piece of property with no rights. Our laws treat corporations better than it treats our citizens. For example, corporations can be liquidated, but they cannot have claims against them for more than they're worth. Citizens can be sued for 10 times their net worth if the court chooses.
Corporations cannot be jailed for social misbehavior (improper customer/competitor treatment, socially irresponsible business practices that enganger employees, or the environment). The bigger the corporation the weaker the penalty for violating laws are. Microsoft is a great example of this. At first it looked like there still was justice in our system when Microsoft face being split into two corporations (OS and software) with only one allowed to keep the Microsoft name. But due to a lack of judgement on the judge's part and partly due to Microsoft's barrage of FUD-producing lawyers, MS gets to carry on with business as usual. Only, since the case is still pending MS has to do something to get themselves embedded in the public that makes it impossible for them to extricated should an unfavorable ruling come down.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think any monopoly is good (except the board game I suppose). TicketMaster (in the U.S. anyway) almost seems like a monopoly for live concerts and events. Most big-ticket shows are sold through TicketMaster which charges you your first-born child in service fees only to screw up your seats so that you miss part of all of the concert you paid for three times over (because of the service fees). Intel used to be another monopoly until AMD came along and gave them a run for their money. Intel is a good chip maker but they inflate their prices way too much. An equivalent chip by AMD will (on the average) cost you half as much as Intel. There's no reason for this. I believe Intel's chip-making technology is more advanced than AMD, but then again, that's partly due to patent law which prevents AMD from creating a process that is too similar to Intel's, thus what Intel can create with only 3 layers of metal on their chips, AMD uses almost 8 layers.
That's all for now...something to think about. I need to count to 10.

In situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy was used to monitor the adsorption of thiourea onto copper electrodes in 0.5 M sulfuric acid solutions sunder cathodic polarization. At potentials negative of the open-circuit potential, p-polarized IR spectra provided evidence for the partial desorption of TU. The desorption had a reversible character as indicated by the recovery of the spectra upon reestablishing open-circuit conditions. Thiourea bands appearing in s-polarized spectra at very negative potentials were attributed to deprotonation of thiourea within the thin-layer gap of the cell resulting from hydrogen ion reduction. Both the bulk, s-polarized, and surface, p-polarized, spectra showed bipolar symmetric N-C-N vibrational bands. The bands were attributed to changes in N-C-N bond order resulting from protonation of the S atom or adsorption of the thiourea via the S atom, respectively.

Influence of some psychosocial factors on mobbing and its consequences among employees working with people with intellectual disabilities
- FIGUEIREDO-FERRAZ Hugo, et al
- Journal article citation:
- Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 25(5), September 2012, pp.455-463.
Mobbing has been defined as interpersonal workplace aggression and efforts by individuals to harm others with whom they work. Mobbing has been characterised as an emerging risk at work. Certain workplace characteristics have been linked to mobbing. The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of role clarity, interpersonal conflicts and social support on mobbing and its consequences (inclination towards absenteeism and psychosomatic disorders) in a sample of employees working with people with learning disabilities. The study participants were 422 employees working at 61 companies in the Valencian Community, Spain. The participants completed a self-report confidential questionnaire. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to test a hypothesised model that linked the psychosocial factors, mobbing, and its consequences. The findings indicated that the model showed an adequate fit to data, with all hypothesised relationships being significant. The results provide support for the mediator role of mobbing in the relationship between high role ambiguity, low social support and high interpersonal conflicts and psychosomatic disorders and inclination towards absenteeism.

Achieve Your Dream Smile Quickly With Our San Francisco Cosmetic Dentists
Thanks to advances in modern dentistry, it is now easier, faster, and more convenient than ever before to refresh your smile. Our San Francisco cosmetic dentists work with a lot of patients who are trying to achieve aesthetic results in time for a specific event—like a wedding or reunion. If you are on a short timeline, our team has options for you…
Bonding is a versatile and effective treatment option that is completed in just one appointment. Using pliable, custom-shaded composite resin, our team can cover unsightly enamel, repair dental damage, and even make your smile look straighter.
Like dental bonding, LUMINEERS have the ability to completely transform your smile. However, LUMINEERS are made from exceptionally thin porcelain, rather than composite resin. This type of treatment is generally completed in just two or three appointments.
Professional Dental Whitening
Topical whitening treatments lift environmental stains from the enamel surface, thus helping to restore your smile to its natural level of whiteness. You may be able to lighten your teeth by several shades with just one whitening session. Keep in mind that this non-invasive treatment can be repeated over time in order to achieve a more dramatic visible impact.
If you are dealing with cracked, chipped, or infected teeth, you will likely need a restoration to restore your smile. The good news is that our San Francisco CEREC dentists are able to design, craft, and place your restoration right here in our office. That means you don’t have to wear at temporary crown, and you don’t need to schedule multiple appointments, in order to get the restorative care that you need.
Few of us have a ton of extra time to allocate to dental care. We hope that this short article has helped you better understand all that can be accomplished in just an appointment or two. As always, our San Francisco dentists are happy to give you additional information—give us a call to get started with a personal consultation!

A study found a slight decrease in prostate cancer risk among men who'd been circumcised either as an infant or at least before their first sexual encounter. The study was done by the University of Washington, and involved 34-hundred men. Half had prostate cancer and half did not. Those who'd been circumcised had a 15% lower risk of prostate cancer. The researchers theorized that circumcision makes a man less vulnerable to sexually transmitted disease, which are linked to prostate cancer risk. Experts, however, stopped short of recommending circumcision as a way to lower one's risk of prostate cancer.
