Hmmmmm

Keep on a mental note, waste fats were gathered from households in World War One for the production of artillery shells. Still useful for that purpose? Be a shame an ingredient in the manufacture of fresh ammo, say for Ukraine, was interrupted

 

In 1887, the Emery Candle Company was incorporated in the United States of America. From then, the company underwent expansion and diversification, most notably under the stewardship of John J. "Jack" Emery, Jr. (grandson of founder Thomas Emery) and was renamed Emery Industries. Jack Emery headed the company until 1968, and was the last of the family to run the business.[1] In 1978, Emery Industries was merged into National Distillers and Chemical Corp.[2]

 

In 1989, the business was acquired by Henkel and became part of its Chemicals Group.[2] Henkel Chemicals Group was later renamed Cognis and was spun off by Henkel in 2001.[3]

 

In 2006, Cognis transferred its global oleochemicals business to Cognis Oleochemicals, a 50:50 joint venture between Cognis and Golden Hope Plantations of Malaysia.[4] The business's headquarters were moved to Teluk Panglima Garang (near Banting) in Malaysia. Golden Hope subsequently underwent a merger with Guthrie and Sime Darby in 2007, with the enlarged group retaining the Sime Darby name.[5]

 

Cognis sold its 50% stake in the company to PTT Global Chemical in 2008.[6] Following the exit of Cognis, the company revived the "Emery" brand name and was renamed "Emery Oleochemicals".[6]

 

In September 2021, the company headquarters were moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

Business

 

Emery is a producer of commodity and specialty chemicals made from natural oils and fats.[7] It is one of the largest oleochemical manufacturers in the United States, along with Vantage Specialty Chemicals.[8][9]

 

Emery's products are organized into six business units: Agro Green, Bio-Lubricants, Eco-Friendly Polyols, Green Polymer Additives, Home and Personal Wellness, and OleoBasics.[7]

 

The company's main production plants are in Cincinnati, Ohio and Loxstedt, Germany.[10] Cincinnati and Loxstedt also house the group's technical development centers (TDCs).[11][12][13]

It's not DeSantis, it's some dude I've never heard of before:

 

GOP bill in Florida would require state registration for bloggers

Vladimir Putin signed a “bloggers law” in 2014, requiring online writers to register with the government. A similar GOP measure is now pending in Florida.

By Steve Benen March 3, 2023

 

A Republican state senator in Florida has introduced a bill that, if passed, would require bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, his Cabinet or state legislators to register with the state. Sen. Jason Brodeur’s bill, titled “Information Dissemination,” would also require bloggers to disclose who’s paying them for their posts about certain elected officials and how much.

 

“If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register” with the appropriate office within five days of the post, the legislation says.

 

As NBC News’ report added, the measure defines “elected state officer” as “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature.”

 

Those who failed to comply could face thousands of dollars in state penalties.

 

If this approach sounds at all familiar, it might be because Vladimir Putin signed a similar measure — known as the “bloggers law” — in 2014, requiring online writers to register with the Russian government.

 

At this point, I know what some of you are thinking. “Sure, Steve, this bill exists, and it’s going to generate some attention,” you’re saying to your screen. “But as I’ve seen in several MaddowBlog posts over the years, it’s best not to take these absurd proposals too seriously because they don’t pass and become law.”

 

And if that is what you’re saying, you certainly have a point. Every year, all kinds of utterly bonkers proposals are introduced in state capitols from coast to coast, and many of them receive national attention — shortly before they wither on the legislative vine. These bills are often offensive, but they’re not genuine threats.
