...am going to give you a brief summary of the history of the company. Monsanto was founded by John Francis Queenie in 1901, in St. Louis Missouri. He named the company after his wifes Maiden name Monsanto , John was a 30 year veteran in the pharmaceutical business. He invented quite a few things One of his first products was artificial sweetener called saccharin. That was sold to Coca-Cola. By the 1940’s the company was a major producer of plastics which included polystyrene and synthetic fibers. The scientists from Monsanto had a breakthrough research on catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation and they were the first company to mass produce LED lights. Monsanto Company is headquartered in Missouri. It is a leading producer of genetically Engineered seed and the herbicide glyphosate, which is marketed under the brand name of Round-up. This is what I’m generally concerned about, I use this product Roundup for my weeds and have heard that glyphosate is safe and non-toxic, from the research I have been doing that’s not the case. Glyphosate is an active ingredient in some common herbicides used in farming and gardening. This chemical is sprayed on the roadside when people are driving, schoolyards and sports Fields, exposing kids to drifts and residues. Agriculture specialists and Primary industry officers have been telling farmers that its ok not to wear protective clothing, that its not necessary. Unfortunately this is not the case, the facts show differently...

...Module 9 : Experiments in Chemistry Lecture 38 : Titrations : Acid-Base, Redox and Complexometric Objectives In this lecture you will learn the techniques to do following Determination of the amount of sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide in a mixture by titration. Carrying out acid-base titration using a pH meter. Carrying out acid-base titration by conductometric measurement. Determination of the composition of a mixture of acetic acid and hydrochloric acid by conductometric titration. Determination of ferrous ion using potassium dichromate by internal indicator. Determination of hardness (Ca2+ ) of water using EDTA – complexometry method. In this lecture, you will be introduced to a few experiments in chemistry. These experiments complement the theory you have learned in chemical equilibrium and kinetics. 38.1 Acid-Base Titrations: Acid-base reactions are of great practical importance in analysis, not only because of their use in titrating a large number of inorganic and organic substances, but also because the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution often is of great importance in controlling reactions. Titration : The process of determining the volume of a given solution of a reagent equivalent to the amount of another reactant present in a standard solution is known as titration. Equivalent Weight of Acids and Bases : The equivalent weight of an acid is that weight which yields one mole of hydrogen ions in the reaction employed whereas the equivalent weight of...

...ENTRY OF GOODS 2. Entry Process When a shipment reaches the United States, the importer of record (i.e., the owner, purchaser, or licensed customs broker designated by the owner, purchaser, or consignee) will file entry documents for the goods with the port director at the goods' port of entry. Imported goods are not legally entered until after the shipment has arrived within the port of entry, delivery of the merchandise has been authorized by CBP, and estimated duties have been paid. It is the importer of record's responsibility to arrange for examination and release of the goods. Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1484, the importer of record must use reasonable care in making entry. NOTE : In addition to contacting CBP, importers should contact other agencies when questions arise about particular commodities. For example, questions about products regulated by the Food and Drug Administration should be forwarded to the nearest FDA district office (check local phone book under U.S. government listings) or to the Import Division, FDA Headquarters, 301.443.6553. The sa me is true for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, wildlife products (furs, skins, shells), motor vehicles, and other products and merchandise regulated by the other federal agencies for which CBP enforces entry laws. Appropriate agencies are identified on page 197. Addresses and phone numbers for these agencies are listed in the appendix. Goods may be entered for consumption, entered for warehouse...

...Abstract: Hyperpigmentation refers to a skin condition in which spots of skin become darker than the natural surrounding skin due to an overproduction of melanin. Hyperpigmentation services and products that garner effective and safe results are becoming essential menu items in salons and spas. Advances in skin care technology have been incorporated in the treatment of hyperpigmentation. Along with this, the use of holistic, natural ingredients in skin care preparations is becoming increasingly prevalent. This paper contends that the utilization of high-tech skin care equipment and holistic ingredients allow for a safe, minimally-invasive, and highly-effective facial hyperpigmentation treatment in salons and spas. This paper will propose a treatment protocol for facial hyperpigmentation.

...transmission events from the origin to the secondary case. In this figure, one can see a transmission tree of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) 2003 in Singapore where we can note the secondary cases generated by each infected case that was reported. We can see that only a few cases were able to generate most of the secondary transmission events. This is an HIV transmission network that clearly shows the structure of transmission events. We can see here that each infected HIV person generates from 1 to 27 secondary cases. We can also see that most of these infected cases generate only a few secondary cases while a few of them generate many secondary transmission events. A central quantity in infectious disease epidemiology is the so-called basic reproduction number, R0. This is defined as the average number of secondary cases generated by an infectious individual in a susceptible population. In this figure we can see that each infected person generates exactly two secondary cases for illustration purposes. Here R0=2 and the arrows denote the direction of transmission. In the bottom part of the figure we can see the generation number of the transmission events so in generation 1, there are a total of 2 cases while in generation 2 there are a total of 4 cases. We can see here how quickly an epidemic can grow with an R0 of 2. Let’s look at R0 in more detail. In this example in the figure on the left, we can see that the first case in generation...

...Chapter 12 Marketing Costs And Margins By performing certain functions and services, various marketing organisations and agencies make it possible for commodities, produce and products to move from producers to consumers. However, these functions incur costs, often of considerable magnitude. Discussions on margins and costs usually include the topic of marketing efficiency. An efficient marketing system is one capable of moving goods from producer to customer at the lowest cost consistent with the provision of the services that customers demand. Once the costs involved in marketing have been identified then means can be devised to make the system more efficient. Increases in efficiency can be achieved in a variety of ways: by increasing the volume of business using improved handling methods, investing in modern technology, locating the business in the most appropriate place, implementing better layouts and working practices in production, improving managerial planning and control and/or by making changes in marketing arrangements (e.g. through horizontal or vertical integration). Objectives Of The Chapter The chapter is aimed at enabling the reader to:- * Understand what the term marketing efficiency means and the varied forms it can take * Distinguish between marketing efficiency and marketing effectiveness * Identify the factors which influence the level of efficiency and level of effectiveness of a marketing system, and * Determine how marketing costs and...
