U S Weights and Measures Week: Measuring Up to the New Normal

Credit: B. Hayes. NIST Each year during national Weights and Measures Week (March 1 to 7), we celebrate the contributions made by the weights and measures community to ensure accuracy and fair competition in commercial transactions based on weight or measure. This year’s theme, “Measuring Up to the New Normal,” is especially meaningful as 2020 will be remembered as one of the most unusual years we’ll likely experience in our lifetimes … and highlights how a common challenge can positively transform how we do business. Weights and Measures Week commemorates the signing of the first U.S. weights and measures law by President John Adams in 1799. Marble bust by artist Daniel Chester French.

How much cypress is really in cypress mulch bags?

How much cypress is really in cypress mulch bags? Updated Dec 11, 2020; Posted Dec 11, 2020 Penn State researchers say they have a new method to determine whether the wood in a bag of mulch is what the label claims it is. Facebook Share Penn State University researchers claim that consumers buying bags of cypress mulch might not be getting what they think. Using a new method of analyzing wood, the researchers found that bags of cypress mulch might contain only 30 to 60 percent of cypress wood – and in some cases, none at all. “Some of the largest mulch manufacturers have been accused of intentionally misleading consumers about the species mix,” said Dr. Judd Michael, a professor of Ag Safety and Health in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences. “It is difficult, if not impossible, for consumers to know whether the product is the species listed on the packaging.”
