Sharing a mutual love of a good old-fashioned ice cream sandwich, the pair decided to pool their talents and put an adult spin on the kiddie menu classic with their own catering company. When we started, we would only make 100 a week, and that was so much, says Hannah Pollack, laughing. Starting out, I had to knock on a lot of doors and build up that confidence," Hannah says.

Approved Toxic Chemicals for Fracking a Decade Ago, New Files Show - The EPA in 2011 approved the use of PFAS to ease the flow of oil from the ground despite the agency’s own grave concerns about their toxicity, according to the documents reviewed by The New York Times. Delaware County is pursuing legal action against more than two dozen companies it accuses of polluting its groundwater through the use of its products containing PFAS.

The San Diego Tribune: DuPont, Spinoffs to Pay $50M for ‘Forever Chemical’ Cleanup - The settlement is the result of an investigation led by the attorney general’s office into the environmental impacts of legacy industrial activities in Delaware. Whether such a designation comes earlier or later, it is clear that such designation could bring on an array of EPA actions and additional costs. “So if it’s too dangerous for us to use, why should oil and gas companies get to use it?” Youngstown is located near oil and gas production wells and underground injection disposal wells where oil and gas companies inject wastewater from their operations for permanent disposal.JD Supra: CERCLA – One Potential Landing Spot for Regulation of PFAS - The PFAS Action Act of 2021 has the potential to greatly expand the scope of investigation and remediation under CERCLA by imposing an aggressive one-year schedule to designate PFOA and PFOS as “hazardous substances” and a five-year schedule to review all PFAS chemicals for potential designation. “Fire departments are scrambling to get rid of firefighting foam with PFAS in it because EPA says it’s toxic,” said Caggiano, who retired in June 2021 and has trained with fire-fighting foam that contains PFAS. “The potential that these chemicals are being used in oil and gas operations should prompt regulators to take swift action to investigate the extent of this use, pathways of exposure, and whether people are being harmed.” “The lack of transparency about fracking chemicals puts human health at risk.” “PFAS have negative health effects, including cancer, that encompass virtually every system in the human body: the immune system, our reproductive systems, the liver, kidneys,” stated Birnbaum. “It’s very disturbing to see the extent to which critical information about these chemicals is shielded from public view,” added Barbara Gottlieb, PSR’s Environment & Health Program Director. “Considering the terrible history of pollution associated with PFAS, EPA and state governments need to move quickly to ensure that the public knows where these chemicals have been used and is protected from their impacts.” “The evidence that people could be unknowingly exposed to these extremely toxic chemicals through oil and gas operations is disturbing,” said Horwitt.

Otherwise, they may only take parts like the cannons, sails, and anything they needed for their ship. The same would happen if the victim ships seemed to be more powerful than theirs. For example, if their ship was worn down, they would exchange it with their victims’ ships. Pirates also took over ships or stole parts of ships if they needed it. When it came to captives, they were forced to work on the ship as crew members and if they were originally slaves, they would be sold in the next slave market in exchange for money and other valuables. Other items that seemed too valuable they would sell in the market in exchange for money. Some of these they would use for themselves, especially the food. Drinking and having a good time.īut apart from riches, pirates would also steal food, spices, fabrics, and clothes among other merchandise. When it came to items like money, coins, jewelry, and gold, Pirates were known to squander those on women. So, what they did with the booty largely depended on what it was. So, if Pirates didn’t bury their treasure, then what did they do with it? Like I said before, pirate booty consisted of anything they deemed as valuable to them at the time. These tales could very well be just a part of any pirate myths that exist today, given the few actual accounts of pirates who hid away their treasures. There are many other legends and tales of lost pirate treasures hidden away on some coast or the other, like the “Treasures of Lima” believed to be worth $200 million, but has never been found. But they were tracked down and confiscated when Kidd was arrested in Boston and hanged. ![]() ![]() The treasure he gathered from plundering ships in the Indian Ocean is said to have been buried in the Gardiners Islands. Captain Willian Kidd, a privateer turned pirate is one good example. Still, even with that said there were Pirates who are believed to have hoarded their treasures and hidden them far away from others. They never really thought to save some of their treasure for rainy days, perhaps because they thought they would get more anyway. They lived by the hand-to-mouth principle, squandering everything on frivolous things like drinking and having a good time with women. Did Pirates Bury Their Treasure?Īlthough there is a common myth of pirate treasures being buried where X marks the spot, many pirates were known as big spenders. For such goods, you were lucky if what you ended up getting was valuable. While certain items like coins, food, spices, and the like were easy to divide, things like weaponry and jewelry weren’t so easy. It stated that any booty was to be divided equally among crew members. The loot was always divided based on the pirate code. If successful in their looting, the captain was the one to oversee that each crew member got paid by receiving their fair share of the loot/booty. Any miscalculations could lead to the end of his tenure as captain, since the crew members may decide to overthrow him. It was the Pirate Captain’s duty to decide the right ship to target and to calculate the potential risk. That explains why whatever treasure of booty they managed to loot was precious to them. A good example of one of their main hunting grounds was the Spanish main route, where most treasure/merchant ships passed through transporting goods between Peru and Portobello. They also had to make sure that they choose the correct positions and had the right ships and weapons to attack. They, therefore, had to make sure they target the right ships with merchandise worth going to battle for. A pirate’s pay or earning was based on what he or his fellow crew members managed to plunder or steal. While some were forced to become pirates, many joined pirate ships out of their own volition to gain riches and wealth. This type of Booty only consisted of weapons and money, among other items related to war, including captives who would consist of slaves or defeated warriors and leaders. The spoils from war specifically were referred to as war booty and referred to the spoils that were to be shared by the victors of war. Why they used the term Booty specifically, is not clear, but they used it to mean the spoils won from plunder, pillaging, and war. It is believed to have been coined by Robert Ehrlich. The term Booty is said to have originated from a Low Germanic word that means “to plunder/share”. These were the items they referred to as their treasures and would call them Booty. They would take things like money, gold, weapons, and anything else they viewed to be valuable. It is common knowledge that the Pirates were known to steal and plunder other ships at sea and monasteries and local homes on the mainlands, especially along the coast. ![]() ![]() ![]() Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow got away with fully nude Succubi and Incubi, mostly because of the lack of detail in Game Boy Advance graphics.This is noteworthy because the previous game had Medusa Bowdlerised into a man.

Breath of Fire II appears to be one massive under the radar game.Then again, maybe it's the only video game at all with that.

Calcium oxalates often occur as crystalline minerals within the cactus pulp. “Its chief function seems to be sequestering metals, principally calcium. Also cooking generally destroys the acid.īesides malic acid, succulents produce Oxalic Acid (C2H2O4), which is toxic, as another product of photosynthesis. Many plants contain malic acid, but usually in lesser quantities than found in cacti. CAM plants use about one-tenth the water to produce each unit of carbohydrate compared to standard photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is gradually released from the acid during the next day. Because there is no sunlight to act as a catalyst, carbon dioxide is stored as an organic acid, principally Malic Acid (C4H6O5). CAM plants open their stomates only at night when it is cooler so there is less water loss. So, succulents use a modified version of photosynthesis called CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism). But in the desert, plants with pores open during the hot days, lose much water through evapotranspiration. Most plants have their pores open during the day to take in carbon dioxide, and use sunlight as a catalyst for the reaction: Carbon dioxide + water becomes sugar + oxygen. The moisture is acidic because of the way many succulents, including cacti, carry on photosynthesis, the process by which carbon dioxide and water are turned into carbohydrates. Why is the water in a cactus not generally potable? Moisture within the pulp of a cactus is very acidic and many cacti contain toxic alkaloids. The Seri called the Coville barrel (Ferocactus emoryi), “barrel that kills” because eating the flesh of the cactus causes nausea, diarrhea, and temporary paralysis. Some Seri report pain in their bones if they walk a long distance after drinking the juice. However, drinking the juice on an empty stomach often caused diarrhea and that will further dehydrate you. The Seri Indians sometimes used the Fishhook barrel (Ferocactus wislizeni) for emergency water. You can get some moisture from cactus fruit and all cactus fruit is edible, though all do not taste good.
