I was not planning on there needing to be a follow-up post on this, but with the US Chamber of Commerce making their recommendations and the comment period being extended, I felt compelled to write a bit more on this topic.

From Wikipedia, "The US Chamber of Commerce (USCC) is the largest lobbying group in the United States, representing over three million businesses and organizations." They have a substantial voice when either supporting or opposing legislation.

As I stated in my previous post, this is where my professional life crosses that of everyone here. I work in a domestic steel manufacturing facility and planning for the future usage and consumption of steel that is needed to be sourced domestically is critical. Back in 2009, the USCC supported the legislation for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) that granted many windfalls to the domestic steel and iron businesses through a provision known as Buy American. Basically, if an infrastructure project was going to be using funds appropriated through ARRA, items that were to be made from steel and iron had to have the majority of the manufacturing done in the USA. There are some caveats to it, but that's the gist of it.

There has been a couple of other renditions to this since then, and looking through the most recent Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) that was just passed, there is a lot of legislation on the term "critical mineral" throughout. Search the document yourself to see what I am talking about.
This is where I started to go down the rabbit hole and understanding what is considered a critical mineral. I needed to look in to this more myself for work and everyone here gets to benefit from it now too.

In the legislation for the IIJA, one of the subsections is related to the creation of a Critical Minerals Interagency Subcommittee whose purpose will be (two of many [paraphrased]):

>to promote a secur

Periodically countries will evaluate minerals and materials that are critical to the country for one reason or another. In the USA, the US Geological Survey (USGS) and the Department of the Interior (DOI) created a draft list for 2021, and published it on November 9th leaving a one month period for comments. Comment period ends tomorrow, December 9th.

If you believe silver should be included as a critical material for the USA, now is the time to voice your concern. The Silver Institute published their comments on December 7th stating that silver should be included, and once again stated their disappointment that it has been excluded. The last time the critical mineral list was updated was in 2018.

Quoted from the Notice published by the USGS:

>On behalf of the Secretary, the Associate Director for Natural Hazards exercising the authority of the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey presents here a draft list of 50 mineral commodities proposed for inclusion on the 2021 list of critical minerals: Aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barite, beryllium, bismuth, cerium, cesium, chromium, cobalt, dysprosium, erbium, europium, fluorspar, gadolinium, gallium, germanium, graphite, hafnium, holmium, indium, iridium, lanthanum, lithium, lutetium, magnesium, manganese, neodymium, nickel, niobium, palladium, platinum, praseodymium, rhodium, rubidium, ruthenium, samarium, scandium, tantalum, tellurium, terbium, thulium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, ytterbium, yttrium, zinc, and zirconium.

I thought I would share the brands I know that use coated and uncoated metal oxide particles such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. I noticed a lot of people on the Skinternet are worried about recent headlines (from a poorly done study imo) so I hope this will help people (because fear is unnecessary whether it is fear of sunscreen and/or fear of sun).

Original text: Ultra Violette (earlier in the year they confirmed it was coated while u/dimdim1997 was told it was uncoated. I reached out to them again with regards to the recent zinc study): "I’d like to reassure you that the study you’re referring to lists the concern of mixing uncoated zinc oxide (which we don’t use) and avobenzone (which is only present in one of our chemical SPFs, Extreme Screen) None of our formulas contain these ingredients in conjunction, so you have absolutely nothing to be worried about there, even if you did use a foundation with chemical UV filters!"

Update: Contacting Ultra Violette via Instagram gave this message: https://imgur.com/gallery/GGphgA2

Not sure what to believe at this point. The fiasco around their newly released tinted sunscreen on social media revealed the company uses a third party manager. So I'm not sure which source has the

I have to drag a symbol into the chart area, but I saw people simply click the symbol and the chart will display. Is there a set up for this?

Only vegan consumers' answers please! The answers will really help me on my master's thesis project!!

Anybody have a list of letters/symbols that are available to use to name your tama? I’m trying to find a list online but only find the actual characters. I keep forgetting about them when the baby comes.

I know there’s the alphabet and numbers but there are also special characters like - ~ … and some faces, etc. Hopefully this makes sense!

I always read that I should be taking this or that to help me with this or that. I have made lists of the supplements I should take and honestly it’s overwhelming. I’m not going to try to resurrect all these lists but as an example I should take black cohash, turmeric, magnesium, iron, biotin, herbs for skin, and vitamins for women. I always feel like I’d be taking hundreds of pills a day if I were to do what’s good for me. I’m the end I don’t take any of them and pray that my diet has some of what I need in it.

Maybe the solution is to pick out my worst ailment (I really don’t have anything terrible) and take some sort of supplement for that.

So, here’s an example. I go to Target to look for a supplement for my skin and I find a delicious looking gummy for hair nails and skin. But then right next to it is the women’s supplement that has all the ingredients as the hair nail and skin gummies except one, but has a whole list of other good stuff. And next to that is the one for active women, and next to that is something else. Overwhelming.

Anyone have a good multi-mineral vitamin herb mix that solves every health problem?

And then there’s the whole issue of which cream to use on your skin and when…

The easiest way to type a unicode symbol like ₿ is to use the following:

Type &#X; where X=the number of your desired character (from the chart below). For example, the number for the bitcoin symbol is 8383. So if you type ₿ you get ₿

The best thing about this method is that you can use it on any device (pc, mac, mobile).

I tried witchapedia but it was not very helpful

I have a bunch of dried flowers and herbs that I’d love to try with spellcasting one day, but I can’t seem to find a website that describes what each ingredient’s magikcal properties are.

I’ve been searching and I cannot find anything. Please help! I’m still really new to all do this

Sorry if this question has been asked before.
