Cancer Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Four new elements of the periodic table (113, 115, 117 and 118) are being named for Japan, Moscow, Tennessee and Russian scientist Yuri Oganessian. The new elements are nihonium (symbol Nh); moscovium (Mc); tennessine (Ts); and oganesson (Og). The proposed names were submitted by the discovery teams to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, which has presented them for public review through Nov. 8. Oganesson tennesside, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 *Sci-Tech News* "Research, honest!" Hey--it was the only link I could find on the subject that wasn't a porn industry site--which I figured would get deleted. Gimme a break. So, adult filmmaker will no longer be required to verify ages and keep record of that? I don't find this a positive development. The adult industry was keeping records of performers' ages before 2257 was passed. The regulations were designed to make it more difficult for adult producers to stay in business by making it more likely that a recordkeeping error would produce an prosecutable offense. I asked an adult producer about 2257--this is what she wrote back-- Now, I don't have a serious problem with producers of adult materials being required to document the age of their models. The problem is that 2257 creates many very detailed, technical requirements whose exact impact and implementation are unclear. Further, in the case of companies who buy adult content from others (the vast majority of web sites are like this), the "secondary producer" requirements are almost impossible to comply with legally. But, of course, failing to comply is a federal felony. Now, as it happens, I do have a permanent place of business that's open during standard business hours, so that part isn't too onerous (of course, you are absolutely right that it is a problem for smaller producers). What is onerous is the indexing and technical record keeping requirements. For secondary producers, the requirements are even worse (and produce a serious privacy issue for the models, with copies of their IDs being passed to and fro). What's particularly irritating about 2257 is that it is a solution to a non-problem. No child pornographer is going to put a notice on their product saying, "Here's where you can prove I'm breaking the law!" The very small number of underaged women who worked in porn did so with completely legitimate-looking IDs (in fact, they were issued by the State with false birth dates based on false information). But, there you are. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
