In the gold mining sector there are many companies to choose from. One of the leaders in this sector and a company worth considering is Goldcorp Incorporated (NYSE:GG). While there are many different factors to look at and consider when investing, in the article below I will look at the debt side of the company. I will analyze Goldcorp's total debt, total liabilities, debt ratios and WACC. From this analysis we should get an idea if the company is highly leveraged, how much it is paying for its debt, what it's paying in taxes and how much to expect in return for investing in this company over the long-term.
Gaining knowledge about a company's debt and liabilities is a key component in understanding the risk of a company. In 2008 and 2009 we were able to see some of the repercussions that highly leveraged companies with large amounts of debt succumbed to. Taking into account the debt side of a company might not reveal the "pop" on the upside that an investor would like, but it will help ensure that the company is able to keep its capital and use it for growth in the future.

1. Total Debt = Long-Term Debt + Short-Term Debt
Total debt is the sum of long-term debt, which is debt that is due in one year or more, and short-term debt, which is any debt due within one year.
- 2008 - $5 million + $0 million = $5 million
- 2009 - $719 million + $0 million = $719 million
- 2010 - $747 million + $17 million = $764 million
- 2011 - $737 million + $0 million = $737 million
- 2012 TTM - $771 million + $0 billion = $771 million
Goldcorp's total debt has increased since 2009. In 2009, the company reported a total debt of $719 million. In 2012 TTM (trailing twelve months), the company's total debt increased to $771 million. This indicates a very minimal increase in total debt over the past 4 years. Over the past 4 years, Goldcorp's total debt has increased by 7.23%.
2. Total Liabilities
Liabilities are a company's legal debts or obligations that arise during the course of business operations, so debts are one type of liability, but not all liabilities. Total liabilities is the combination of long-term liabilities, which are the liabilities that are due in one year or more, and short-term or current liabilities, which are any liabilities due within one year.
- 2008 - $4.050 billion
- 2009 - $5.456 billion
- 2010 - $8.615 billion
- 2011 - $8.102 billion
- 2012 TTM - $8.320 billion
Goldcorp's liabilities have also increased over the past 5 years. In 2008, the company reported liabilities at $4.050 billion; in 2012 TTM, the company reported liabilities at $8.320 billion. Over the past 5 years, Goldcorp's liabilities have increased by 105.43%.
In analyzing Goldcorp's total debt and liabilities, we can see that the company currently has a total debt of $771 million and liabilities at $8.320 billion. Goldcorp's total debt has increased by 7.23% while total liabilities have increased by 105.43%. As the company's amount of debt and amount of liabilities have increased over the past 5 years, the next step will reveal if the company has the ability to pay them.
Debt Ratios
3. Total Debt to Total Assets Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets
This is a metric used to measure a company's financial risk by determining how much of the company's assets have been financed by debt. It is calculated by adding short-term and long-term debt and then dividing by the company's total assets.
A debt ratio of greater than 1 indicates that a company has more total debt than assets; meanwhile, a debt ratio of less than 1 indicates that a company has more assets than total debt. Used along with other measures of financial health, the total debt to total assets ratio can help investors determine a company's level of risk.
- 2010 - $764 million / $28.809 billion = 0.03
- 2011 - $737 million / $29.374 billion = 0.03
- 2012 TTM - $771 million / $30.622 billion = 0.03
Goldcorp's total debt to total assets ratio has remained the same. Over the past three years, the total debt to total assets ratio has remained steady at 0.03. This indicates that since 2010, the company has been adding asset value at the same pace as its total debt. As the number is currently well below 1, this indicates that the company has more assets than total debt. Because this number is extremely low, this metric indicates very low financial risk to the company.
4. Debt ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets
Total liabilities divided by total assets. The debt ratio shows the proportion of a company's assets that is financed through debt. If the ratio is less than 0.5, most of the company's assets are financed through equity. If the ratio is greater than 0.5, most of the company's assets are financed through debt. Companies with high debt/asset ratios are said to be "highly leveraged." A company with a high-debt ratio or that is "highly leveraged" could be in danger if creditors start to demand repayment of debt.
- 2010 - $8.615 billion / $28.809 billion = 0.30
- 2011 - $8.102 billion / $29.374 billion = 0.28
- 2012 TTM - $8.320 billion / $30.622 billion = 0.27
In looking at Goldcorp's total liabilities to total assets ratio over the past three years, we can see that this ratio has decreased. The ratio has decreased from 0.30 in 2010 to 0.27 in 2012 TTM. As the 2012 TTM numbers are below the 0.50 mark, this indicates that Goldcorp has not financed most of the company's assets through debt. As the number has decreased, so is the risk to the company.
5. Debt-to-Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities / Shareholders' Equity
The debt-to-equity ratio is another leverage ratio that compares a company's total liabilities with its total shareholders' equity. This is a measurement of how much suppliers, lenders, creditors and obligators have committed to the company versus what the shareholders have committed.
A high debt-to-equity ratio generally means that a company has been aggressive in financing its growth with debt. This can result in the company reporting volatile earnings. In general, a high debt-to-equity ratio indicates that a company may not be able to generate enough cash to satisfy its debt obligations, and therefore is considered a riskier investment.
- 2010 - $8.615 billion / $20.194 billion = 0.43
- 2011 - $8.102 billion / $21.272 billion = 0.38
- 2012 TTM - $8.320 billion / $22.302 billion = 0.37
Compared to 2010, Goldcorp's debt-to-equity ratio has decreased. The ratio has decreased from 0.43 to 0.37. As the ratio is currently below 1, this indicates that shareholders have invested more than suppliers, lenders, creditors and obligators. 0.37 indicates a low amount of risk for the company. As the ratio is below 1 and considered low, so is the risk for the company.
6. Capitalization Ratio = LT Debt / LT Debt + Shareholders' Equity
(LT Debt = Long-Term Debt)
The capitalization ratio tells the investors the extent to which the company is using its equity to support operations and growth. This ratio helps in the assessment of risk. Companies with a high capitalization ratio are considered to be risky because they are at a risk of insolvency if they fail to repay their debt on time. Companies with a high capitalization ratio may also find it difficult to get more loans in the future.
- 2010 - $764 million / $20.958 billion = 0.04
- 2011 - $737 million / $22.009 billion = 0.03
- 2012 TTM - $771 million / $23.073 billion = 0.03
Over the past three years, Goldcorp's capitalization ratio has decreased from 0.04 to 0.03. This implies that the company has less equity compared with its long-term debt. As this is the case, the company has had less equity to support its operations and add growth through its equity. As the ratio is decreasing, financially this implies a slight increase of risk to the company but as the ratio is only 0.03 this implies extremely low financial risk.
7. Cash Flow to Total Debt Ratio = Operating Cash Flow / Total Debt
This coverage ratio compares a company's operating cash flow with its total debt. This ratio provides an indication of a company's ability to cover total debt with its yearly cash flow from operations. The higher the percentage ratio, the better the company's ability to carry its total debt. The larger the ratio, the better a company can weather rough economic conditions.
- 2010 - $1.772 billion / $764 million = 2.32
- 2011 - $2.366 billion / $737 million = 3.21
- 2012 TTM - $2.037 billion / $771 million = 2.64
Over the past three years, the cash flow to total debt ratio has increased. The ratio has decreased from 2.32 in 2010 to 2.64 in 2012 TTM. As the ratio is well above 1, this implies that the company has the ability to cover its total debt with its yearly cash flow from operations.
Based on the five debt ratios listed above, we can see that Goldcorp has very little financial risk based on its debt and liabilities. The above ratios also show that there has been very little change in the company's debt to liabilities compared to its assets. As the price of gold looks to be strong in 2013, the company should be able to make money on the assets and not be burdened by massive amounts of debt and debt obligations. The next step will reveal how much the company will pay for the debt incurred.
Cost of Debt
The cost of debt is the effective rate that a company pays on its total debt.
As a company acquires debt through various bonds, loans and other forms of debt, the cost of debt is a useful metric. It gives an idea as to the overall rate being paid by the company to use debt financing.
This measure is also useful because it gives investors an idea as to the riskiness of the company compared with others. The higher the cost of debt, the higher the risk.
8. Cost of debt (before tax) = Corporate Bond rate of company's bond rating.
- S&P rated Goldcorp's bonds "BBB+"
- Goldcorp Inc New 144A Cv 2% Rate of "BBB+" = 2.00%
- Current cost of Debt as of January February 8th 2013 = 2.00%
According to the S&P rating guide, the "BBB+" rating is "Adequate capacity to meet financial commitments, but more subject to adverse economic conditions." Goldcorp has a rating that meets this description.
9. Current tax rate (Income Tax Total / Income Before Tax)
- 2008 - $295 million / $1.779 billion = 16.58%
- 2009 - $207 million / $447 million = 46.31%
- 2010 - $346 million / $1.727 billion = 20.03%
- 2011 - $686 million / $2.567 billion = 26.72%
- 2012 TTM - $503 million / $2.153 billion = 23.36%
2008 - 2012 TTM 5-year average = 21.67%
From 2008 - 2012 TTM subtracting 2009, Goldcorp has averaged tax rate of 21.67%.
10. Cost of Debt (After Tax) = (Cost of Debt Before Tax) (1 - Tax Rate)
The effective rate that a company pays on its current debt after tax.
- .02 x (1 - .2167) = Cost of debt after tax
The cost of debt after tax for Goldcorp is 1.57%
Cost of Equity or R Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta Equity (Average Market Return - Risk Free Rate)
The cost of equity is the return a firm theoretically pays to its equity investors (for example, shareholders) to compensate for the risk they undertake by investing in their company.
- Risk Free Rate = U.S. 10-year bond = 1.95% (Bloomberg)
- Average Market Return 1950 - 2012 = 7%
- Beta = (Google Finance) Goldcorp's Beta = 0.54
Risk Free Rate + Beta Equity (Average Market Return - Risk Free Rate)
- 1.95 + 0.54 (7-1.95)
- 1.95 + 0.54 x 5.05
- 1.95 + 2.73 = 4.68%
Currently, Goldcorp has a Cost of Equity or R Equity of 4.68%, so investors should expect to get a return of 4.68% per-year average over the long term on their investment to compensate for the risk they undertake by investing in this company.
(Please note that this is the CAPM approach to finding the cost of equity. Inherently, there are some flaws with this approach and that the numbers are very "general." This approach is based off of the S&P average return from 1950 - 2012 at 7%, the U.S. 10-year bond for the risk-free rate which is susceptible to daily change and Google finance beta.)
Weighted Average Cost of Capital or WACC
The WACC calculation is a calculation of a company's cost of capital in which each category of capital is equally weighted. All capital sources such as common stock, preferred stock, bonds and all other long-term debt are included in this calculation.
As the WACC of a firm increases, and the beta and rate of return on equity increases, this is an indicator of a decrease in valuation and a higher risk.
By taking the weighted average, we can see how much interest the company has to pay for every dollar it finances.
For this calculation, you will need to know the following listed below:
Tax Rate = 21.67% (Goldcorp's five-year average Tax Rate)
Cost of Debt (before tax) or R debt = 2.0%
Cost of Equity or R equity = 4.68%
Debt (Total Liabilities) for 2012 TTM or D = $8.320 billion
Stock Price = $36.07 (February 8th, 2013)
Outstanding Shares = 811.00 million
Equity = Stock price x Outstanding Shares or E = $29.252 billion
Debt + Equity or D+E = $37.572 billion
WACC = R = (1 - Tax Rate) x R debt (D/D+E) + R equity (E/D+E)
(1 - Tax Rate) x R debt (D/D+E) + R equity (E/D+E)
(1 - .2167) x .02 x ($8.320/$37.572) + .0468 ($29.252/$37.572)
.7833 x .02 x .2214 + .0468 x .7786
.0035 + .0364
= 3.99%
Based on the calculations above, we can conclude that Goldcorp pays 3.99% on every dollar that it finances, or 3.99 cents on every dollar. From this calculation, we understand that on every dollar the company spends on an investment, the company must make $.0399 plus the cost of the investment for the investment to be feasible for the company.
Debt Side Summary
All indications above reveal that Goldcorp Inc. is a financially stable company on the debt side. The Bond rating of "BBB+" indicates the company has an "Adequate capacity to meet financial commitments, but more subject to adverse economic conditions." My analysis also indicates a very slight amount of risk to the shareholder from a debt point of view, while the CAPM supports this by revealing that the investor needs 4.68% year-over-year over the long term to get good value on their money.
As the debt side of the company is only one aspect of the company to be aware of, an excellent article on other aspects of the company is: 3 Reasons To Consider Goldcorp Now.
Analysts Outlook
Currently, many analysts have a positive outlook for Goldcorp. Over the next five years analysts at MSN Money are estimating an average of 13.10% growth in earnings year over year, which is significantly above the industry average of 8.40%. On February 4th, the analysts at Barclays gave Goldcorp a rating of "Overweight" with a target price of $49.00. A $49.00 price target signifies an upside of 35.70% from this point.
The above analysis reveals that Goldcorp Incorporated is a very financially stable company on the debt side with significant upside looking forward. The analysis indicates that the company can support its total debt and liabilities without distress to the company. It also states that there is significant upside, as analysts currently have a $49.00 price target on this stock. As the chart below indicates, this is excellent opportunity to invest in a financially stable gold mining company with significant upside on current weakness.

Novel BiOI/BiOBr heterojunction photocatalysts with enhanced visible light photocatalytic propertiesJing Cao | Benyan Xu | Bangde Luo | Haili Lin | Shifu Chen
Volume 13, Issue 1, October 2011, Pages 63-68
A novel heterojunction photocatalyst BiOI/BiOBr was synthesized by a simple modified deposition-precipitation method. Several characterization tools including XRD, SEM, HRTEM and UV-vis DRS were employed to study the phase structures, morphologies and optical properties of the samples. BiOI/BiOBr exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than single BiOI and BiOBr for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible light (λ > 420 nm). This result can be due to the formation of the heterojunction between BiOI and BiOBr, which can separate photogenerated carriers efficiently. The photocatalytic mechanism study demonstrates that O2- and h+ are the main reactive species while OH can be negligible. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Ni-Al 2O 3 catalysts prepared by solution combustion method for syngas methanationAnmin Zhao | Weiyong Ying | Haitao Zhang | Hongfang Ma | Dingye Fang
Volume 17, Issue , January 2012, Pages 34-38
Ni-Al 2O 3 catalysts with varied Ni contents from 10 to 50 wt.% were prepared by solution combustion method for syngas methanation, and characterized by N 2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, H 2-TPR, SEM and TEM. The results show that the catalytic activity for syngas methanation over the Ni-Al 2O 3 catalysts is sensitive to Ni particle size and a maximum production rate of methane per unit mass of nickel can be achieved on Ni crystals around 41.8 nm. Moreover, Ni-Al 2O 3 catalysts with Ni loading above 20 wt.% show good high temperature stability, which is due to Ni particles scattered and spatially isolated by Al 2O 3. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Hydrodeoxygenation of the lignin monomer guaiacol was performed on the bifunctional catalysts of noble-metals supported on acidic matrices. The catalytic roles of metal nanoparticles and acidic supports were elucidated using the acid-site-measurement-dependent catalysis results, which demonstrated that metals were responsible for the hydrogenation of aromatic rings while metal-deposited acidic supports were indispensable to the deoxygenation of oxygenates. Among various combinations of metals and supports, Rh/SiO 2-Al 2O 3 and Ru/SiO 2-Al 2O 3 exhibited the highest cyclohexane yields. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

BiOI/Bi2O3 heterostructures, prepared by a facile chemical etching method, exhibit excellent photocatalytic activities on the degradation of phenol and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). The enhanced photocatalytic performance of BiOI/Bi2O3 samples is attributed to the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs caused by the formation of BiOI-Bi2O3 heterojunction. The relationship between BiOI amounts and photocatalytic activities was investigated, and a photogenerated charge transfer process was proposed. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Highly efficient and stable Ag/Ag 3PO 4 plasmonic photocatalyst in visible lightYongping Liu | Liang Fang | Huidan Lu | Laijun Liu | Hai Wang | Changzheng Hu
Volume 17, Issue , January 2012, Pages 200-204
A highly efficient and stable photocatalyst Ag/Ag 3PO 4 was prepared by the ion-exchange process between AgNO 3 and Na 2HPO 4 and subsequently light-induced reduction route. The diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) indicated Ag/Ag 3PO 4 had strong absorption in UV and visible-light regions. The composite showed excellent visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance. It can decompose organic dye within several minutes and still maintain a high level activity even though used five times. It is considered that this excellent performance results from the surface plasmon resonance of Ag nanoparticles and a large negative charge of PO 43 - ions. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Novel Ag 3PO 4/TiO 2 composites for efficient decomposition of gaseous 2-propanol under visible-light irradiationSher Bahadur Rawal | Sang Do Sung | Wan In Lee
Volume 17, Issue , January 2012, Pages 131-135
Ag 3PO 4 nanoparticle of ~ 100 nm size was synthesized by an ion-exchange reaction between AgNO 3 and Na 3PO 4 at ambient condition. The dark yellowish Ag 3PO 4 with a bandgap of 2.44 eV revealed significant visible-light absorption. Novel heterojunction structures of Ag 3PO 4/TiO 2 were then fabricated by covering the surface of Ag 3PO 4 with polycrystalline TiO 2 by sol-gel process. Under visible-light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm), 3/97 Ag 3PO 4/TiO 2 (in wt.% ratio) showed remarkably high photocatalytic activity in removal of gaseous 2-propanol (IP) and in evolution of CO 2. Its photocatalytic behavior seemed to be caused by the inter-semiconductor hole-transfer between the valence band (VB) of Ag 3PO 4 and TiO 2. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Synthesis of Ag nanoparticles within the pores of SBA-15: An efficient catalyst for reduction of 4-nitrophenolBhanudas Naik | Subhenjit Hazra | Vadakkethonippurathu S. Prasad | Narendra N. Ghosh

Synthesis of uniform, spherical and rod shaped Ag nano particles within the uniform pore channels of mesoporous silica SBA-15 have been reported via a simple chemical method. High resolution transmission electron micrographs showed uniformly distributed spherical and rod shaped nano particles inside the pore channels of SBA-15. Synthesized Ag nano particle incorporated SBA-15 materials were acted as an efficient catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Ag nanoparticles loaded N-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (Ag/N-TNTs) were successfully fabricated by an electrodeposition method. The Ag/N-TNTs were characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-vis diffusion reflection spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). The average photocurrent density and the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the Ag/N-TNTs obtained for the degradation of Acid Orange II AO-II are 6 times and 6.8 times higher than those of annealed TiO 2 nanotube arrays (A-TNTs), respectively. This bestows the Ag/N-TNTs as a promising photocatalytic material for organic pollutant degradation under visible light. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Solid acid catalysed formation of ethyl levulinate and ethyl glucopyranoside from mono- and disaccharidesShunmugavel Saravanamurugan | Anders Riisager
Volume 17, Issue , January 2012, Pages 71-75
Sulfonic acid functionalised SBA-15 (SO 3H-SBA-15), sulfated zirconia and beta, Y, ZSM-5 and mordenite zeolite catalysts have been applied for the dehydration of sugars to ethyl levulinate and ethyl-d-glucopyranoside (EDGP) using ethanol as solvent and reactant. The SO 3H-SBA-15 catalyst showed a high catalytic activity for the selective conversion of fructose to ethyl levulinate (57%) and glucose to EDGP (80%) at 140°C, whereas the disaccharide sucrose yielded a significant amount of both products. The SO 3H-SBA-15 catalysts were found to be highly active compared to the zeolites under identical reaction conditions. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
One-step synthesis of flower-like Ag/AgCl/BiOCl composite with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activityWei Xiong | Qidong Zhao | Xinyong Li | Dongke Zhang
Volume 16, Issue 1, November 2011, Pages 229-233
The flower-like Ag/AgCl/BiOCl composite was prepared by a one-step chemical bath method at low temperature for the first time. The morphology, crystallinity, composition, and optical property were well characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The Ag/AgCl/BiOCl composite displayed enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity against rhodamine B, which was much higher than Ag/AgCl or BiOCl. The mechanism for the degradation of rhodamine B over the Ag/AgCl/BiOCl was discussed. The superoxide radical and chlorine radical or the hole played critical roles instead of hydroxyl radicals. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
A new family of BiO(ClSanaa Shenawi-Khalil | Vladimir Uvarov | Yulia Kritsman | Ella Menes | Inna Popov | Yoel Sasson
xBr 1-x) visible light sensitive photocatalysts
Volume 12, Issue 12, July 2011, Pages 1136-1141
A new family of BiO(ClxBr1-x) photocatalysts have been synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The photocatalytic activity of the new material was measured on the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and Acetophenone (AP) and photooxidation of potassium iodide in water under UV-vis and visible light (λ 420 nm) irradiations. In comparison to Degussa P25, the new photoactive material with x = 0.5 demonstrated 3 times higher rate in removing aqueous RhB under visible light irradiation. A morphology, chemical composition and crystalline structure of BiO(ClxBr1-x) were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. The values of their unit cell parameters depend on Cl/Br ratio and they change according to the Vegard's law. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Acetylation of glycerol over heteropolyacids supported on activated carbonP. Ferreira | I. M. Fonseca | A. M. Ramos | J. Vital | J. E. Castanheiro
Volume 12, Issue 7, March 2011, Pages 573-576
The acetylation of glycerol was carried out over dodecatungstophosphoric acid (PW) supported on activated carbon, being the monoacetin, diacetin and triacetin the reaction products. A series of catalysts, with different heteropolyacid loading (from 3.5 to 6.5 wt.%), were prepared. It was observed that the catalytic activity increases with the amount of PW immobilized on the activated carbon, being the PW2-AC (with 4.9 wt.%) the most active sample. However, at high loading of heteropolyacid on the activated carbon, a decrease on the catalytic activity was observed, which can be probably explained due to some hindrance in the activated carbon porous system. All catalysts exhibited good values of selectivity to the diacetin. Catalytic stability of the PW2-AC was also studied by performing consecutives batch runs with the same catalyst sample. After the third batch, it was observed that the catalytic activity stabilized. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Polymer-supported macrocyclic Schiff base palladium complex: An efficient and reusable catalyst for Suzuki cross-coupling reaction under ambient conditionYing He | Chun Cai
Volume 12, Issue 7, March 2011, Pages 678-683
Polymer-supported macrocyclic Schiff base palladium complex was prepared and characterized. The catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity and stability for Suzuki cross-coupling reaction under ambient condition. Various aryl bromides were coupled with aryl boronic acids in DMF/H2O, under air, in the presence of 0.1 mol% of the catalyst to afford corresponding cross-coupled products in high yields within 20-30 min. Furthermore, the heterogeneous catalyst can be readily recovered by simple filtration and reused several times without significant loss in its activity. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Catalytic upgrading of levulinic acid to ethyl levulinate using reusable silica-included Wells-Dawson heteropolyacid as catalystGustavo Pasquale | Patricia Vázquez | Gustavo Romanelli | Graciela Baronetti
Volume 18, Issue , February 2012, Pages 115-120
In this paper we report, for the first time, the direct incorporation of a heteropolyacid (HPA) with Wells-Dawson structure during the synthesis of silica by the sol-gel technique, in acidic media, using tetraethyl orthosilicate. The catalyst characterization was carried out by 31P MAS-NMR, FT-IR, XRD, N 2 adsorption-desorption measurements, and the acidic properties were determined through potentiometric titration with n-butylamine. The synthesized catalysts were used in the esterification of levulinic acid with ethanol, at 78 °C, to obtain ethyl levulinate. The synthesis of silica-included HPAs was satisfactory, and the samples kept their HPA structure intact after synthesis. The catalytic tests for the esterification reaction between levulinic acid and ethanol to produce ethyl levulinate have shown that the silica-included Wells-Dawson HPA is an active and selective catalyst for this reaction. It must be noted that silica-included HPAs also kept their structure and catalytic activity after three consecutive reaction cycles. These results indicated that these solid acids are promissory catalysts for the esterification reaction of levulinic acid and ethanol to ethyl levulinate. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

2S 3-sensitized BiOCl with highly visible light photocatalytic activity for the removal of rhodamine B
Volume 26, Issue , September 2012, Pages 204-208
Bi 2S 3-sensitized BiOCl photocatalyst (Bi 2S 3/BiOCl) was synthesized through a facile and economical ion exchange method between BiOCl and thioacetamide. XRD, XPS, Raman, FT-IR, DRS, SEM, EDS, TEM, HRTEM, SAED and BET were employed to study the properties of Bi 2S 3/BiOCl heterostructure. To evaluate the photocatalytic activity of Bi 2S 3/BiOCl, rhodamine B (RhB) was introduced as a model contaminant and 98.0% of RhB could be degraded within 120 min under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm), which was much higher than that of single BiOCl, Bi 2S 3 and TiO 2 (P25). Moreover, a detailed mechanism was also proposed to illustrate enhanced photocatalytic activity. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Hydrotreating and hydrocracking catalysts for processing of waste soya-oil and refinery-oil mixturesRashmi Tiwari | Bharat S. Rana | Rohit Kumar | Deepak Verma | Rakesh Kumar | Rakesh K. Joshi | Madhukar O. Garg | Anil K. Sinha
Volume 12, Issue 6, February 2011, Pages 559-562
Mesoporous SiO2-Al2O3 and Al 2O3 were used as supports to prepare hydrocracking (sulfided Ni-W/SiO2-Al2O3) and hydrotreating (sulfided Ni-Mo/Al2O3) catalysts. These hydroprocessing catalysts were used under typical hydroprocessing conditions to convert waste soya-oil mixtures with refinery-oil into saturated hydrocarbons. The hydrocracking catalyst was more selective for the kerosene range (140-250 °C) hydrocarbons while the less acidic hydrotreating catalyst was more selective for the diesel range (250-380 °C) hydrocarbons. The hydrodeoxygenation pathway for oxygen removal from triglycerides seems to be favored over the hydrotreating catalyst, while decarboxylation + decarbonylation pathway is favored over the hydrocracking catalyst. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Efficient synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol and urea with lanthanum oxide as a solid base catalystLiguo Wang | Yubo Ma | Ying Wang | Shimin Liu | Youquan Deng
Volume 12, Issue 15, September 2011, Pages 1459-1462
Lanthanum oxide catalyst prepared by precipitation method and calcined at 600 °C exhibited better catalytic activity in the catalytic synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol and urea with TOF up to 1506 mmol/g•h. It was proposed that the lanthanum oxide catalyst with more strong basic sites (Td > 400 °C) exhibited higher catalytic activity. Accordingly, the catalyst containing appropriate amount of La2O 2CO3 phase exhibited higher catalytic activity. Moreover, the recycling experiments demonstrated that the catalytic activity can be essentially preserved during the recycling tests investigated. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

3PO 4 quantum dot sensitized BiPO 4: A novel p-n junction Ag 3PO 4/BiPO 4 with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity
Volume 37, Issue , July 2013, Pages 55-59
Ag3PO4 quantum dot sensitized BiPO4, a novel p-n junction Ag3PO4/BiPO4 photocatalyst, was prepared by co-precipitation hydrothermal method and characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, EDS and DRS. Ag3PO4/BiPO4 exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than Ag3PO4 and BiPO4 for the degradation of methyl orange under visible light (λ > 420 nm). The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Ag 3PO4/BiPO4 could be mainly ascribed to the strong visible-light absorption originating from the quantum dot sensitization of Ag3PO4 and high efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs through Ag3PO4/BiPO4 heterojunction. Moreover, O2- and OH were the main reactive species. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
Metal-organic framework as a host for synthesis of nanoscale Co 3O4 as an active catalyst for CO oxidationWeixia Wang | Yingwei Li | Rongjun Zhang | Dehua He | Hongli Liu | Shijun Liao
Volume 12, Issue 10, May 2011, Pages 875-879
Co3O4 nanoparticles were prepared from cobalt nitrate that was accommodated in the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8 (Zn(MeIM)2, MeIM = 2-methylimidazole) by using a simple liquid-phase method. The ZIF-8 host was removed by pyrolysis under air and subsequently washing with an NH4Cl-NH3•H2O aqueous solution. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis shows that the obtained Co3O4 is composed of separate nanoparticles with a mean size of 18 nm. The Co3O4 nanoparticles exhibit excellent catalytic activity, cycling stability, and long-term stability in the low temperature CO oxidation. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Preparation of high-magnetization Fe 3O 4-NH 2-Pd (0) catalyst for heck reactionMingliang Ma | Qiuyu Zhang | Dezhong Yin | Jinbo Dou | Hepeng Zhang | Hailong Xu
Volume 17, Issue , January 2012, Pages 168-172
A magnetically separable Fe 3O 4-NH 2-Pd (0) catalyst was easily synthesized by immobilizing Pd nanoparticles on the surface of magnetic Fe 3O 4-NH 2 microspheres. It was found that the combination of Fe 3O 4 and triethylene tetramine (TETA) could give rise to structurally stable catalytic sites. Furthermore, the high-magnetization Fe 3O 4-NH 2-Pd(0) catalyst can be recovered by magnet and reused for six runs for Heck reaction without significant loss in catalytic activity. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Novel phosphorus-doped multiwalled nanotubes with high electrocatalytic activity for OZiwu Liu | Feng Peng | Hongjuan Wang | Hao Yu | Jun Tan | Lili Zhu
2 reduction in alkaline medium
Volume 16, Issue 1, November 2011, Pages 35-38
Phosphorus-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) were synthesized by the thermolysis and characterized by electron microscopy and microanalysis technique and evaluated with electrochemical methods. The results revealed that carbon nanotube length became shorter, the tube diameters increased and the yield of MCNTs reduced gradually with the increase of the concentration of triphenylphosphine in toluene solution, and the tube diameters increased with the increase of the synthesis temperature. Moreover, the phosphorus doping significantly improved the electrocatalytic activity of carbon nanotubes for the oxygen-reduction reaction in alkaline media, and the carbon nanotubes doped with small amounts of phosphorus exhibited higher electrocatalytic activity and stability than Pt/C catalyst. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Effect of Sn on MnO x-CeO 2 catalyst for SCR of NO x by ammonia: Enhancement of activity and remarkable resistance to SO 2Huazhen Chang | Junhua Li | Xiaoyin Chen | Lei Ma | Shijian Yang | Johannes W. Schwank | Jiming Hao
Volume 27, Issue , October 2012, Pages 54-57
SnO 2-MnO x-CeO 2 catalysts prepared by a co-precipitation method have been investigated for NH 3-SCR reaction. The catalyst with a molar ratio of Sn / (Sn + Mn + Ce) = 0.1 showed complete conversion of NO in a temperature range of 80-230°C. A remarkably high activity, N 2 selectivity and SO 2 resistance was obtained at 200-500°C, attributed to the significantly enhanced Lewis acid sites that are created by surface sulfation during SO 2-containing SCR reaction. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Synthesis of immobilized Brønsted acidic ionic liquid on silica gel as heterogeneous catalyst for esterificationJinmei Miao | Hui Wan | Guofeng Guan
Volume 12, Issue 5, January 2011, Pages 353-356
The Brønsted acidic ionic liquid 1-(propyl-3-sulfonate) vinylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([(CH 2) 3SO 3HVIm]HSO 4) was immobilized on the silica gel using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as silica source. The properties of samples were characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis and TG. The results showed that [(CH 2) 3SO 3HVIm]HSO 4 had been successfully immobilized onto the silica gel, and the immobilized ionic liquid catalyst (IL/silica gel) had good thermal stability. Moreover, the IL/silica gel exhibited high catalytic activity for a series of esterification and could be separated from the reaction mixture easily. It also remained satisfactory catalytic activity for the synthesis of n-Butyl acetate after 7 times recycling. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Synthesis of novel Z-scheme AgI/Ag/AgBr composite with enhanced visible light photocatalytic activityHaili Lin | Jing Cao | Bangde Luo | Benyan Xu | Shifu Chen
Volume 21, Issue , May 2012, Pages 91-95
Novel Z-scheme AgI/Ag/AgBr composite was synthesized through a facile in-situ ion exchange method along with light reduction. The as-prepared AgI/Ag/AgBr was characterized by XRD, SEM, DRS, XPS, EDS, BET and PL technology to study its phase structures, morphologies, optical properties, element components and surface areas. AgI/Ag/AgBr displayed excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange under visible light (λ > 420 nm), which can be ascribed to the efficient separation of photogenerated electrons and holes through Z-scheme system composed of AgI, Ag and AgBr. The photocatalytic mechanism investigation demonstrates that •O 2- was the main reactive species for methyl orange (MO) degradation. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A lesson on falling and acceleration (+inertia)
This is an introductory lesson to falling and g, but with an aside on inertia. I used two tennis balls, 1 secretly weighted with water, and dropped them from a height to introduce, then I got a student to roll them along the floor with equal force to show inertia. There are two cool puzzles, one for inertia and one for the rate of falling, both space based. The lesson provides simplistic data on speed vs time of falling tennis balls for graph plotting and gradient calculation.

Gotham Comedy Club 208 W 23rd St New York, NY 10011
From stand-up to sketch comedy to movies, TV and the biggest radio show in the world, Artie Lange has done it all in the comedy world. His decidedly non-PC material often consists largely of observational bits and storytelling.
Artie is often compared to one of his idols, John Belushi and remains one of the funniest guys around. Artie was born in Union, New Jersey, in October of 1967. A talented athlete and die-hard New York Yankees fan at a young age, Lange had dreams of playing professional baseball. But, as he got older and gained a reputation for being the class clown, he began to consider a career in stand-up.
Lange performed his first stand-up comedy routine at 19 years of age. He took up work as a longshoreman to help support his family. In 1995, Lange starred in the first and second seasons of MADtv. Lange was also featured in Dirty Work with Norm Macdonald, who brought Lange into the second season of his sitcom, The Norm Show. In 2001, Lange replaced Jackie Martling on The Howard Stern Show and stayed until late 2009. He quickly became one of the most popular characters on the show.
Lange has released comedy specials – It's the Whiskey Talkin' (2004) and Jack and Coke (2009). He co-wrote, produced and starred in his film Artie Lange's Beer League in 2006, and co-wrote, with Anthony Bozza, the book Too Fat to Fish in 2008, which entered The New York Times Best Seller list at number one.

Nah. If anything, the injury situation would have helped Johnson. (I suspect Favors will be back before Burks, FWIW) https://t.co/Ajdj4f9L7O

FWIW, Dante Exum said Chris Johnson was the hardest working player he's ever been around. Seemed legitimately bummed Chris was cut.

As a wind musician, I could see your habit becoming an eventual roadblock, as smoking anything is going to be bad for your lung capacity. As far as creativity goes, smoking might give you a different mindset that works for you. The question is, do the benefits outweigh the harm that you might be doing yourself. Not to mention the legal implications depending on where you live.

I subtracted all of my N+1s!
What you do in your private life is up to you, but I don't know if it's a good idea to share with the entire world that you're smoking an illegal substance almost everyday. Especially because you're still in high school. You know that schools and police departments can work together and find posts like this on Facebook and whatnot right? I've seen it happen before.
Like I said, it's a personal choice/it's up to you...but this may not be the best place to talk about it. I hope I'm not offending anybody or stepping on any toes here...

You only think you're doing well. It's your brain to screw up though. Duke University did a study concluding that weed used during the teenage years causes neurological damage. Most but not all studies put major users from the teen years at greater risk for brain diseases in later life. Here's a link. Just hope you can remember where it is duuuuude!

Don't be afraid to try something different. The Ark was built by an amateur and the Titanic was built by a group of experienced engineers.
By the inch it's a cinch, by the yard, it's hard!
so my question is what are your guys' opinion on playing music while high
It's a bad idea
if you have tried it?
would you ever try?
Hell no, it leads to harder drugs
is this bad for me as a musician?
Yes. and if they catch you with that shit, kiss your chances of federal assistance for college goodbye.
Hey!! you can work at McDonalds and after work you can spark one up, eat a bunch of old left over junk food and die by the time you're 30 but it's the quality of life, not the quantity, right? So spark one up scooby doobe. I answered your questions, now please answer mine:
What makes you think this post hasn't been sent/intercepted by the feds? There are approx. 120 key words that get flagged by The Feds. You've used one of the "key" words and this conversation has already been sent waiting to be read. Next question. Can you say "I'm a dumbass and soon some people will be knocking at my parent's door?
Next question: How do you think your parents will fare in a federal court of law when sentenced for contributing to the deliquency of a minor and interstate(using a computer) solicitation and conferencing about an illegal substance? .
Next question: How much do you think it will cost in lawyer fees to keep you and your parents out of prison?
Next question: Since you're a minor, the IP address (you might want to look up IP address) is probably in your parent's name or they co-signed for you.
Here's my last question, wait for it, WAIT FOR IT!!
How scared will you be, not knowing when or where they (Federal Officers) will nail your ass? Will it be during the night while you're in bed? Will it be at school? Will they show up at you parent's place of work and question them?
How scared will you be?[B[/B]
MANY years ago, I thought having a few drinks helped my playing. Then I heard a recording of myself playing buzzed. That was the last time I drank while playing.
youre right.... i just joined, how do i delete this thread cause i dont want colleges seeing it or anything
Too late buckaroo. This is the Internet age. Things are "automatically" sent to the authorities. How do you think we keep terrorists at bay? You'd better distance yourself from that shit because your only chance is that you don't pee dope, the dogs don't smell dope and the cops don't find dope.
All I can say is be ready because............................ "Soon"

Smoking pot is stupid, as is excessive alcohol use, abuse of drugs--prescription or non-prescription, etc. Not only do they close doors to many occupations, they all hinder your performance and make you a less capable person. I don't know why anyone in this day and age would choose to do any of that stuff. Alcohol in strict moderation seems alright, but it would be even better to not do that. Most crimes and accidents have alcohol involved.

Where do you live in switzerland? And why has cheese got holes in it?
I live in the Vaudoise Riviera, near Montreux :)
In fact, only a few cheeses got holes in them!
(I think you're talking about the Emmental)
here's the explanation:
The mixture of the cheese first has to ferment before you eat it.
During the fermentation, some bactéria present in the mixture release some
CO2 in the cheese; there are some "bubbles" of CO2; the holes from the cheese.
If you want a better explanation, tell me; I'll make it
(I didn't have a lot of time when I wrote this...)
Have a good day!

Should animal hunting be banned?
Depends on the animal;
If the number of linving animals beeing hunted is quiet high, it is acceptable to hunt them.
But animals like whales, pandas, ... , shouldn't be hunted at all !!
If dogs never existed, which animal would take its place as Man's Best Friend?
None could take its place


text: Have you ever been on the lake or river and been accidentally impaled with a fish hook by your fishing partner, yourself or even a fish when trying to land it? Well, if you have, you know it puts you in quite a predicament! Do you leave immediately for the emergency room at a hospital or doctor's office to have it removed? It all depends on where the hook is embedded and whether any of those facilities are nearby or accessible. There are other alternatives. This video shows one of them. Hope it helps you if this ever happens at a time you least expect it!
