"EL COBRE ES CHILENO Y DEBE SER REFINADO EN CHILE" (Por Carlos Tomic E.) | Comité de Defensa y Recuperación del Cobre Chile exporta anualmente 1 millón de toneladas de cobre fino contenido en concentrados de cobre, equivalentes a 3 millones de toneladas de concentrados que se venden al exterior sin fundir ni refinar, y que son procesados en fundiciones y refinerías del extranjero, transformándolos en cobre electrolítico a cambio de importantes descuentos que se aplican al precio del cobre fino contenido. Pero eso no es todo. Si Chile no actúa con prontitud y decisión para corregir este cuello de botella que perjudica seriamente sus ingresos por exportaciones de cobre, dentro de los próximos 4 o 5 años se verá forzado a conceder descuentos de precio equivalentes a US$ 1.500 millones de dólares anuales, una vez que se inicie la producción de concentrados proveniente de nuevos yacimientos, más las ampliaciones de otros ya existentes. Actualmente es más rentable para el propietario de un yacimiento en Chile producir concentrados de cobre que cobre electrolítico.
Huele a ganas | Lo que ellos no saben Me dicen que peco mucho de pensar en el futuro y olvidarme del presente. Puede ser. Para qué engañarnos. Es totalmente cierto. Pero es que verás, para mí ya huele a verano. Huele a hierba y calor. Huele a revolución veraniega, a rebeldes con la mejor causa del mundo, huele a living on the fucking edge. Porque si es cuestión de ser eternamente jóvenes, ahora es el mejor momento. Feliz verano.

A qué esperas. Artículo publicado el domingo, 29 de marzo de 2015 en ElPeriódico.com. Il·lustració de Leonard Beard “A qué esperas. Sí, tú, no leas hacia otra parte. Mírame a las letras, que te estoy escribiendo a ti. A qué esperas. Que a qué esperas, te digo. No me digas que vendrán tiempos mejores. Esperar es decirle a tu vida que en realidad te van a sobrar días. Que pase un tiempo prudencial, pensarás. Con los años, además, te das cuenta de que la espontaneidad es lo único creíble, lo único real. Lo preparado es siempre fruto de alguna estrategia. Por eso, te agarro hoy por las ganas y te digo que a qué esperas. A qué esperas. Morir es dejar la vida en espera. Vivir es decidir que la vas a buscar.” ¿Quieres recibir artículos como éste en tu buzón de e-mail? Me gusta: Me gusta Cargando...

The Dark Side of the Moon (Landing) | earthriderdotcom Some dispute that the U.S. sent a man to the moon. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin is the second man to walk on the moon’s surface in 1969 By Judy Berman Over eight days during July 1969, all eyes were on Apollo 11, when it became the first manned mission to land on the moon. More than 40 years after this historic event, about 6 percent of Americans still dispute that we ever set foot on the moon. It fulfilled a goal set by President John F. Apollo 11 made its landing on July 20, 1969. Yet, Bill Kaysing, considered to be the father of the moon hoax, said the whole event was staged. Kaysing, himself, was not an engineer. And, yet, his story had legs. I decided to pick an engineer’s brains on this subject: my Dad. Dad had an analytical mind and addressed some of the claims in Kaysing’s book. Here’s the scoop from the web site science.howstuffworks: Conspiracy theorists also question how the flag could flap with no wind on the moon, and that the photo had to be a hoax. I just hope it’s real soon.
Why Lead Used to Be Added To Gasoline Today I found out why lead used to be added to gasoline. “Tetraethyl lead” was used in early model cars to help reduce engine knocking, boost octane ratings, and help with wear and tear on valve seats within the motor. Due to concerns over air pollution and health risks, this type of gas was slowly phased out starting in the late 1970’s and banned altogether in all on-road vehicles in the U.S. in 1995. For a more detailed explanation of why lead used to be added to gasoline, it’s necessary to understand a little bit more about gasoline and what properties make it a good combustion material in car engines. The higher the compression in the cylinders a car’s motor can produce, the greater the power it can get out of each stroke of the piston. In 1919, Dayton Metal Products Co. merged with General Motors. Another benefit that became known over time was that Tetraethyl lead kept valve seats from becoming worn down prematurely. This hasn’t completely gotten rid of leaded gasoline.
Doctoral degrees: The disposable academic ON THE evening before All Saints' Day in 1517, Martin Luther nailed 95 theses to the door of a church in Wittenberg. In those days a thesis was simply a position one wanted to argue. Luther, an Augustinian friar, asserted that Christians could not buy their way to heaven. In most countries a PhD is a basic requirement for a career in academia. One thing many PhD students have in common is dissatisfaction. Whining PhD students are nothing new, but there seem to be genuine problems with the system that produces research doctorates (the practical “professional doctorates” in fields such as law, business and medicine have a more obvious value). Rich pickings For most of history even a first degree at a university was the privilege of a rich few, and many academic staff did not hold doctorates. Other countries are catching up. But universities have discovered that PhD students are cheap, highly motivated and disposable labour. A short course in supply and demand A very slim premium
