In a fascinating turn of nature, <keyword id="18635" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="amazon" source="Orion">Amazon</keyword>'s <keyword id="6360326" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="electric" source="Orion">electric</keyword> eels possess the remarkable ability to produce up to 860 volts of electricity—more than sufficient to power typical household devices. However, their extraordinary power serves purposes beyond merely stunning prey. Recent research reveals that these eels, resembling <keyword id="6537369" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="catfish" source="Orion">catfish</keyword>, can influence the <keyword id="49685" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="genetic" source="Orion">genetic</keyword> composition of nearby organisms through <keyword id="3554275" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="electroporation" source="Orion">electroporation</keyword>, a process commonly employed in laboratories to introduce foreign genetic material into cells using electrical pulses to create temporary pores in cell membranes. A team from Nagoya University in Japan investigated whether the electric discharges of these eels could replicate this phenomenon in the wild. By exposing zebrafish larvae to a DNA solution with a fluorescent marker and introducing an <keyword id="1242955" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="electric-eel" source="Orion">electric eel</keyword> into the tank, they discovered that 5% of the larvae exhibited the glowing marker, indicating DNA uptake. This challenges conventional views of electroporation, suggesting it can naturally occur. Lead researcher Atsuo Iida suggests that organisms generating electricity, including electric eels, might impact genetic modification in nature. This finding implies that the evolution and adaptation of organisms in the Amazonian ecosystem could be influenced by this natural process. Electric eels, traditionally seen as apex predators, may now be acknowledged as unintentional genetic engineers, shaping the genetic landscape of their surroundings. This study advances our understanding of the intricate relationship between organisms and their environment, revealing the potential for naturally occurring electroporation to impact genetic diversity and adaptation in evolution and environmental biology. So, if you ever navigate the Amazon, be on the lookout for these electrifying creatures—they might be shaping the future of life on Earth, one electric pulse at a time.

Electric eels have the ability to mutate other creatures just by shocking them!

Narrator: What could a future with electric planes look like? $25 tickets, quieter airports, or even shorter runways. Companies have been betting on battery-powered planes for this cleaner future. But even though electric planes have been around since the 1970s, they haven't really taken off. So, what's keeping them grounded? In the late 1800s, two French army officers experimented with electricity to propel an airship, but they ran into problems when the battery just couldn't hold enough energy. This would become a recurring problem for the next 100 years. When nickel-cadmium batteries were invented, the first flight with an electric motor took off, but it only lasted less than 15 minutes. Then, in the 1980s, lithium-ion batteries were invented. They could store more power than ever before, leading to planes like the Solar Impulse 2. Starting in 2015, the solar-powered aircraft spent 16 months flying around the world, except it flew at an average speed of 28 to 34 mph. Solar Impulse 2 is part of a movement in recent years to develop alternative energies, especially when people and governments started realizing just how bad flying was for the environment. The aviation industry emitted about 1 billion tons CO2 in 2019. That's about 2.5% of global emissions. That might not sound like a lot, but it's almost as much as the entire continent of South America emits in a year. Kevin Noertker: We need to make changes to the industry, and electrification is one of the big trends which will hopefully reduce that burden. Narrator: Electric planes have been on people's mind for a while, but two big problems are keeping electric grounded. First, the technology's not quite ready. When you're trying to get an electric plane off the ground, you want a battery that packs a lot of punch in a little package, but... Carolina Anderson: Batteries are not as efficient as gas, and they're probably not gonna be for a while. Narrator: A battery's efficiency, or ability to hold power, is measured in specific energy. Right now, even the best batteries have a specific energy of only 250 watt-hours per kilogram, but we have to get closer to 800 to really start flying, and that is still nothing compared to jet fuel's specific energy, which is nearly 12,000 watt-hours per kilogram. Think about it like those computers from the '80s. They were huge, but way less powerful than the sleek ones we have today. Right now, batteries are like those '80s computers. They're not as powerful as they need to be, and they're not just big, they're also heavy. So if you want to add more power to a plane, you need to get a bigger battery, and to get that plane airborne despite the weight, you'll need even bigger battery that's more powerful, but that means more weight. And then you'll need an even bigger battery to offset that weight. Oh, you get the point. But even if engineers design a plane around the shortfalls in battery tech, they have to take on the industry's second hurdle, certification. In the US, that means getting permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to test and fly an electric plane. Companies have to prove every inch of their aircraft is safe, passing a series of tests, one of which is to make sure the battery cells won't catch fire. Roei Ganzarski: If something goes wrong, you can't stop. You can't pull to the side of the road. There's only one place for that <keyword id="6420597" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Airplane">airplane</keyword> to go. And so the regulatory stringency is much higher, the requirements for reliability, redundancy, and safety are much higher for a good reason. You have no alternate. Narrator: The FAA amended its rules in 2016 to allow electric propulsion systems in <keyword id="6569650" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="airplanes">airplanes</keyword> built for up to 19 passengers. The real problem, though, is that certification, even with these amendments, takes years, so companies have gotten creative. They've started to retrofit old planes to get certified quicker. Ganzarski: You're taking out the entire old, gas-guzzling, emission-creating engine and its fuel system, and replacing that space and weight with an electric propulsion system. Narrator: Retrofitting has happened in phases. The first phase was from Slovenian company Pipistrel. It created the world's first all-electric two-seater plane back in 2007 by putting an electric engine in a glider. Tine Tomažič: Gliders are safe to fly by definition, even without a functioning engine, so we were able to experiment without putting anybody at risk or do harm to anyone. Narrator: Today, those planes are used for pilot training. The second phase: a hybrid. Los Angeles company Ampaire replaced one of the two engines in a 1973 Cessna with an electric one. Ampaire hopes to get its new plane, the Electric Eel, certified for commercial flights by 2021. And, finally, over in Vancouver, electric-motor manufacturer MagniX and Vancouver-based airline Harbour Air flew a retrofitted 62-year-old plane. A 15-minute test flight in December 2019 made it the world's first all-electric commercial plane to fly. It proved that electric could actually take off. The two companies' goal is now to electrify the rest of Harbour Air's fleet of more than 40 seaplanes and have it certified by the end of 2021. So, retrofitting seems perfect. The problem, though, is that it limits you to what the plane structure is already built for, so if the original motor is, say, 1,000 pounds, and you remove it, then... Ganzarski: I only have 1,000 pounds to put back in, right? I can't make the total package heavier. Narrator: Electric motors are smaller and lighter than gas ones, but remember, those batteries are heavy. Ganzarski: So you lose range because batteries, for the same amount of power, are so much heavier than fuel. Narrator: So while Harbour Air and MagniX figured out the balance of weight in their plane, the range took a hit. Their electric plane can go over 100 miles, a little less than the distance from Seattle to Vancouver, but for electric planes to be successful long-term, they'll have to go farther. Israeli company Eviation might have a solution. Instead of retrofitting an old plane, its engineers built a plane from scratch. The nine-seater plane, Alice, was designed around the battery to reduce weight. Omer Bar-Yohay: That battery's literally all over the place. It's under the floor, it's in the wings, it's the fuselage in different locations. Narrator: Alice, in theory, could fly up to 650 miles, roughly a flight from Las Vegas to Denver, but because it was built from the ground up, getting her certified is taking longer. Bar-Yohay: We're very confident that we will be testing the plane in flight early 2020 and believe that from that point on the certification process will take about two years. Narrator: Each electric plane in development is different, but they all have one thing in common: they're going after flights under 500 miles. And while it may not seem like an impressive distance, these short-range electric planes could solve a major problem in travel. In 2018, a little less than half of all air tickets sold globally were for flights under 500 miles, but instead of using small, efficient planes designed for these shorter routes, we often use expensive airliners built to fly thousands of miles. These planes are most efficient if they're able to cruise for a long period of time, but on a flight that's 50 minutes, these planes go up, and they come right back down. Currently, a 109-mile flight from Los Angeles to San Diego emits about 110 pounds of CO2. Bar-Yohay: For a technical-savvy person, that's an insanity, because we're using the wrong tools for the job. Narrator: In the last four decades, flying regional with commercial jets got so expensive for airlines in the US, Europe, and Australia that they began stopping service to regional airports. Today, of the 20,000 FAA-approved runways in the US, only 2.5% are currently active. The regional airports left are running at a loss or even going bankrupt, but electric planes could be a fix, and there's already an infrastructure for them. Omer says 11,000 of those 20,000 US runways could support an electric plane, which is a lot cheaper to operate. Alice could save about $800 per flight hour compared to a normal turboprop plane. Noertker: It's a tenfold increase in the number of potential destinations, all the while not having the significant burdens on the communities of noise and pollution. Narrator: As for the distant future, electric aviation could come in all kinds of forms. Uber is already working on an electrical vertical takeoff and landing vehicle, or eVTOL, that could pick you up right at your house and fly you to an airport. Even big players like Airbus, Boeing, and Rolls-Royce are betting on this future. Tomažič: We set out on a journey that's akin to crawling, walking, running, leaping. We're now in the phase of walking. The running part will be the bigger electric airplanes flying longer distances, and the big leaps, coming in a decade or so, will be the eVTOL segment, which is vertical takeoff and landing electric-powered machines that effectively take off and land where we want them, bringing the airports to people. Narrator: Everyone we talked to said that's still about 15 years off, and now that an electric plane has actually proven successful, those in the industry are hopeful that investment into battery development will start rolling in. Because to break out of that infinite power and weight loop we were talking about, we're gonna need more efficient batteries for electric planes to really take off. Bar-Yohay: The question is, when does it make economic sense and who has the many billions it will take to bring a product like this to market in 15 years' time? So, is it the future? Absolutely.

The first is a pay-as-you-go $39-a-month plan and the second is a $408 annual subscription, which amounts to a $34 monthly fee. There's a one-time $50 setup fee for both plans, and insurance is included for if your scooter is stolen or damaged. However, there's an $85 deductible for a replacement scooter.Customers who purchase the subscription will receive the company's Model One dual-motor scooter, <a href="https://unagiscooters.com/products/the-scooter?variant=18154292904051">which is priced at $990</a> to buy. A single motor vehicle is available for $840, though it's not apart of the subscription model. It has about 15 miles to a charge and takes about 5 hours to charge.Unagi cofounder David Hyman told Business Insider that there are added perks of owning or renting one through a subscription vs accessing it only on the street, like not having to worry about the batteries running dead."Having one in your possession, when it's lightweight and portable, far exceeds a street scooter," Hyman said.According to the <a href="https://unagiscooters.com/pages/unagi-all-access-scooter-subscription?show_sub_signup=1">company website</a>, a team member will deliver your scooter to you for free within 24 hours after purchasing a subscription. The monthly payment service will roll out in Los Angeles as well as New York, a market that recently made it legal for <keyword id="835856" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="electric-scooters">electric scooters</keyword> to operate on public streets. Unagi plans to roll out in more cities eventually.Hyman said Unagi's subscription concept has been in the works since mid-2019, but "the timing is good" with the hypersensitivity to touch that has become a cultural mainstay during the pandemic. The health crisis has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/scooter-startup-lime-lay-off-190-more-workers-2020-4">dealt a blow</a> to the ride-sharing world — some people are less inclined to share a ride with a stranger or use a scooter or bike that had previously been used by someone else.Hyman also said the company's scooter sales have surged in recent months."Before COVID, we were selling hundreds of scooters a month, and now we're selling thousands," Hyman said.Unagi isn't the first e-scooter startup to test a subscription service. As The Verge notes, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/31/20747817/bird-electric-scooter-monthly-rental-san-francisco-bike-app-review">Bird did </a>so in mid-2019, but Hyman said the issue with Bird's plan was that it used the scooters that were designed to live on the street in its subscription model, which made "no sense at all.""It was an afterthought and not really a focused effort," Hyman said.Unagi was founded in 2018 and, according to its <a href="https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/unagi-scooters">Crunchbase</a> profile, "aims to liberate people from the tyranny of <keyword id="34991" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="transportation">transportation</keyword> frustrations." The startup has raised $3.2 million in funding from investors, including Menlo Ventures.As for the startup's name, Hyman said it is indeed in reference to the freshwater Japanese eel. The team settled on it while mulling over potential names that are associated with electricity.

This field stretches all the way from the planet's interior to the space surrounding the Earth. It's what protects the world from deadly solar radiation. But the direction that the electromagnetic energy flows, as well as the strength of the resulting protective sheath, depends on where on the planet's surface you are. So animals that use the magnetic field to orient themselves do so by detecting these differences in field strength and flow. They then use that information to figure out where they are and where to go.Scientists <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-11459-8">long suspected</a> sharks could navigate using the field, since the animals can sense electromagnetic fields in general. But that hypothesis had been difficult to confirm until Keller's study.His team examined the bonnethead shark, known as Sphyrna tiburo, because the species exhibits site fidelity - meaning it returns to the same estuary habitats each season. "This means the sharks have the capability to remember a specific location and to navigate back to it," he said.<div type="image" title="bonnetheads sharks" height="1634" width="2179" msid="82433669" hostid="261"></div>The team captured 20 bonnetheads off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico, then placed the sharks in a 10-by-10-foot tank. They generated a tiny magnetic field within a 3-square-foot area of that tank. (Bonnetheads only reach 4 feet in length, which made them an ideal species to study in such a small pool, Keller said.)The team then tweaked that localized magnetic field to mimic the electromagnetic conditions of various locations hundreds of miles away from where they'd caught the sharks. If the animals were truly relying on magnetic-field cues to navigate, the thinking went, then the bonnetheads would try to reorient themselves and start swimming in the direction they thought would lead to the Florida coast. That's exactly what happened.When the researchers mimicked the conditions of the magnetic field on Florida's Gulf Coast, the animals exhibited no preference in which direction they were swimming - suggesting they assumed they were already in the right place."I'm not surprised that sharks garner map-like information from the magnetic field, because it makes perfect sense," Keller said. <h2>Many animals use the magnetic field for navigation</h2>Even though the new study was done on bonnetheads, Keller said the findings likely apply to other shark species as well. <div type="image" title="Great White Shark" height="3071" width="4606" msid="82433673" hostid="261"></div>How else could a great white, for example, migrate from South Africa to Australia - a distance of more than 12,400 miles - then return to the exact same chunk of ocean nine months later?"En route to Australia, the animal exhibited an incredibly straight swimming trajectory," Keller said of great whites. "Given that the magnetic field is perhaps the only constant and ubiquitous cue available to these migratory sharks, it is sensible that magnetic-based navigation is responsible for facilitating these incredible navigational successes."Other navigational cues do exist, including currents and tides, but Keller said the magnetic field "is likely more useful than these other aids because it remains relatively constant."Biologists still aren't sure how sharks detect the field, but <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-11459-8">a 2017 study</a> suggested that the animals' magnetic receptors are probably located in their noses.The ability to detect and orient using the magnetic field is fairly common in the animal kingdom overall, according to Keller. Scientists have observed that type of behavior in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-11459-8#ref-CR2">bacteria</a>, <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-11459-8#ref-CR4">algae</a>, <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-11459-8#ref-CR5">mud snails</a>, lobsters, eels, stingrays, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0000395">honey bees</a>, <a href="https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsif.2006.0130">mole rats</a>, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1038%2F22450">newts</a>, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs00114-009-0608-8">birds</a>, fish like <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2FBF00610853">tuna</a> and <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2FBF00657119">salmon</a>, <a href="https://journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/120/1/1/4953/Evidence-from-Strandings-for-Geomagnetic">dolphins</a>, and whales.Sea turtles, too, rely on magnetic cues when they migrate thousands of miles to lay eggs on the same beaches where they hatched. <div type="image" title="Two_Wire_Fox_Terriers" height="2332" width="3482" msid="82433677" hostid="261"></div><keyword id="32596" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Dogs">Dogs</keyword>, meanwhile, can find their way home both using their impressive sense of smell and by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dogs-navigate-magnetic-field-understand-speech-like-humans-2020-8">orienting themselves using the magnetic field</a>, according to a <a href="https://elifesciences.org/articles/55080">June study</a>."The magnetic field may provide dogs with a 'universal' reference frame, which is essential for long-distance navigation," that study said.

The <keyword id="567660" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amazon-rainforest">Amazon rainforest</keyword> is unarguably one of the mysteries and wonders of nature. Spanning over an area of 2.1 million square miles, this is the largest broadleaf rainforest of the world. Located in South America, the Amazon rainforest also stretches into countries including Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, <keyword id="15385" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Colombia">Colombia</keyword>, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. Here are some amazing facts about Amazon Rainforest that you might not have known. Amazon River In the north of the Amazon rainforest runs the Amazon River. This is actually a river system that has a network of several hundreds of waterways that stretch to a distance of about 6,992 km. a number of scientists believe that Amazon is the second longest river on the earth after the River Nile. In terms of the volume of water contained, Amazon River is the clear champion of all Rivers since it carries more water than the waters of the rivers Mississippi, Nile, and <keyword id="341048" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Yangtze">Yangtze</keyword> combined. An awesome study shows that during every second, the Amazon River delivers 55 million gallons of water into the Atlantic Ocean. The name Amazon The name Amazon was coined by the Spanish explorer Francisco Orellana following the event when he was attacked by a band of female warriors called as theIcamiabas, translated as 'women without husbands'. Francisco Orellana compared them to the Amazons figuring in the Greek mythology. The massive home to tribal population More than 500 indigenous Amerindian tribes inhabit the Amazon rainforest. It is said that more than 50 of these tribes never had any contact with the external world. The most versatile and the biggest eco-system on the land Amazon’s eco-system is very rich. It is a home to over 40,000 plant species, 3,000 kinds of fish, 430 types of mammals, 1,300 bird species, and an awesome number of 2.5 million types of insects. This forest is also the home to some of the most awesome and deadly creatures on the earth like electric eels, poison dart frogs, jaguars, flesh eating piranhas and some seriously poisonous snakes. Makes our lives on the earth possible Amazon rainforest produces 20% of the world’s oxygen. Since Amazon rain forest makes up 40% of the world’s tropical forest cover and produces the most significant quantity of oxygen, it is rightly described as the lungs of the earth. What the forest produces More than 25% of the western pharmaceuticals are manufactured from the ingredients sourced from Amazon rainforests. Nevertheless, less than 1% of the trees and plants in this forest has ever been tested by the scientists. The forest houses more than 3,000 types of fruit trees. The world consumes not more than 200 of them. More than 80% of the food products of the world has its origin in Amazon rainforest. The alarming concern Due to deforestation, we are losing 1.5 acres of Amazon forest with every passing second. Every day, about 137 species are becoming extinct. Given this rate of destruction, it is for sure that the complete rainforest of Amazon will disappear in about 40 years if the deforestation is not stopped.

Trump wants to hit another $200 billion worth of Chinese imports with tariffs - here's what could get slammed

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div><ul class="summary-list"><li>President Donald Trump announced tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods on Monday, escalating the US-China trade war.</li><li>The tariffs will apply to a slew of Chinese goods, ranging from minerals to food to clothing.</li><li>The US Trade Representatives office removed almost 300 items from an initial list released in July.</li><li>But&#xa0;5,745 Chinese goods will still get hit. </li><li>We complied the major categories of goods that will be subject to the tariffs.</li></ul>President Donald Trump kicked the trade war with China into high gear Monday, formally announcing the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-china-trade-war-tariff-chinese-goods-2018-9">imposition of tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods</a>.The tariffs cover a wide array of goods, from minerals used in manufacturing, to vegetable juices, to leather handbags. All of the goods with face a 10% duty until the start of 2019, when the tariffs will jump to 25%.While the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-china-trade-war-wilbur-ross-tariff-price-increase-2018-9">Trump administration is downplaying</a> the effect of the tariffs, many economists expect prices for these goods will increase once the tariffs are officially imposed on September 24.The new list of goods that will be subject to the tariffs was released by the US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer's office on Monday.The final list is notably different from the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-china-tariff-full-list-of-goods-products-2018-6">previous round of tariffs</a> on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods, because there are consumer products on the list. The previous round focused <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-tariffs-trade-war-prices-go-up-2018-4">almost exclusively on industrial equipment</a> and machinery, while the new round includes items like hats, TVs, and food.There were 297 items removed from the USTR's initial list, released in July, after the public comment periodThose include:<ul><li>Certain consumer electronics including smartwatches and bluetooth devices</li><li>Certain industrial chemicals used for manufacturing textiles</li><li>Certain health and safety products including bicycle helmets</li><li>Certain types of child safety furniture including high chairs and car seats</li></ul>The USTR did not specify how it determined which products to remove beyond assertions that the official followed an inter-agency procedure and listened to feedback from businesses. The <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-trade-tariffs-apple-products-cloud-industry-2018-9?r=UK&amp;IR=T">smartwatch removal drew interest</a> after it was revealed that Apple, makers of the Apple Watch, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/09/18/trumps-tariffs-wont-bite-apple-illustrating-tim-cooks-political-sway/">directly lobbied the White House</a>.Even with the removals, 5,745 full or partial tariff lines are included on the final list that represent roughly $200 billion worth of Chinese imports.Here's a breakdown of the major categories included in the list:<ul><li>Meat:&#xa0;pork; beef intestine; rabbit meat; venison; frog legs</li><li>Fish and seafood:&#xa0;live fish including ornamental fish, trout, eels, tuna, and carp; chilled or frozen meat of various types of trout, salmon, halibut, plaice, sole, albacore, tuna, herring, mackerel, cobia, swordfish, pollack, whiting, catfish, rays, and more; various types of salted or smoked fish; other seafood including various types of lobsters, crabs, shrimps, prawns, oysters, scallops, mussels, clams, squid, octopus, conchs, abalone, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins.</li><li>Non-meat animal products such as eggs and dairy:&#xa0;Whey products; butter; various types of eggs including chicken; honey; hair of animals including human, hog, horse and badger; animal intestines, bladders; feathers; bones including shells, beaks, corals, hooves, antlers, and more.</li><li>Vegetables:&#xa0;onions; garlic; cauliflower and broccoli; cabbage; carrots; turnips; radishes; beats; cucumbers; peas of various types; beans; lentils; celery; mushrooms; peppers of various types; squash; okra; sweet corn; potatoes; sweet potatoes and yams; some types of tomatoes; spinach; Brussels sprouts.</li><li>Fruit and Nuts:&#xa0;Coconuts; cashews; almonds; hazelnuts; walnuts; chestnuts; pistachios; macadamia nuts; pecans; dates; figs; pineapples; guavas; oranges; mandarins; clementines; raisins; grapes; apples; pears; quinces; peaches; berries including strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, blueberries and others; bananas; a variety of dried fruits; peels of various fruits.</li><li>Cereals:&#xa0;wheat, including durum wheat; barley; oats; corn; various types of rice; grain sorghum; buckwheat; quinoa; and more.</li><li>Mill products:&#xa0;flours including those form wheat, corn, buckwheat, rice, rye, other cereals, potatoes, and bananas; groats and meal of various types including wheat, corn, oats, and rice; malt; starches of wheat, corn, potato, and more</li><li>Oil seeds:&#xa0;soybeans; seeds of sunflower, flax seed, sesame, mustard, poppy and more; planting seeds for certain crops; cocoas and mint leaves; and seaweeds.</li><li>Sugars and candies:&#xa0;cane sugar; candies with no cocoa</li><li>Breads and Pasta:&#xa0;uncooked pasta; various breads, pastries, cakes, and biscuits.</li><li>Prepared vegetables and fruits:&#xa0;various vegetables and fruits previously listen in their prepared or preserved forms; various fruit jams including strawberry, pineapple, apricot, and more; peanut butter; various fruit juices including orange, pineapple, lime, grape, apple, and more.</li><li>Other food items:&#xa0;soy sauce; condiments and seasonings; protein concentrates.</li><li>Beverages and vinegars:&#xa0;water, including mineral water; fruit or vegetable juices and juice mixes; beer from malt; wine, including rice wine; ethyl alcohol; vinegars</li><li>Food processing waste and animal feed:&#xa0;brans from processing; oil cakes; dog or cat food; animal feed</li><li>Tobacco products:&#xa0;various types and preparations of tobacco; tobacco refuse; cigars; cigarettes; smoking tobacco</li><li>Salts and minerals:&#xa0;salt/sodium chloride; sulfur; graphite; quartz; types of clays; chalk; slate; marble; granite; sandstone; dolomite; gypsum; some plasters; some types of cement; mica; Epsom salts</li><li>Ores, slag, and ash:&#xa0;ores of iron, copper, nickel, cobalt, aluminum, lead, zinc, tin, chromium, tungsten, uranium, titanium, silver, other precious metals, and others; slag, various types of ash.</li><li>Mineral fuels and oils:&#xa0;coal; lignite; peat; coke; tars; various types of light oil; various types of kerosene; petroleum oils; liquefied fuels including natural gas, propane, butane, ethylene, and petroleum; oil shale and tar sands</li><li>Inorganic Chemicals:&#xa0;chemicals such as chlorine, sulfur; carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and silicon; acids including sulfuric, nitric, and more; various types of fluorides, chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, carbonates, and more.
