Sales Letter About Cake

The fireplace

Now we are in the cold season of the year, I remember the pleasant sensations generated by a fireplace. Days ago talking about these feelings with a good friend and shared completely. The fireplace evokes in me feelings of warmth, companionship, almost hypnotic and tells someone.

remember the scenes of the fire, the smell of burning wood, the noise of the flames and cracking of the bark or cones. The talks, long, around. Make toast or cook the meat, everything felt the north wind whistled through the chimney. Or just being alone watching the swirls of smoke go up and the warmth of fireplace embers. Something magical must have the fire in the home that causes these feelings. Too bad, as Aeschylus said the fifth century before Christ "even being seated before the fire in your home, people can not escape his destiny."

simplify, what we do in the fireplace is released as heat energy stored in the timber. The fire does not cease to be an exothermic chemical reaction, ie, it releases heat.

components of wood are products of metabolism of plant cells with a handful of chemical bonds at the molecular level. In light the fire, what we do is provide enough energy for one of these links are broken. In doing so release energy that comes partly in the form of heat, but there will be some links that will also break the neighboring molecules.

This creates a chain reaction. The heat generated by the breakdown of molecules makes it more broken and so while keeping the flame will burn wood to stay (while remaining to break chemical bonds).

Plants capture solar energy and stored in its structure. Then take advantage of shaped wood, coal or oil. So we could say that in the fire there have a small fragment of the Sun. Maybe here comes the magic.

Price Of Ticket Of Adventure Island

The Watchmaker of Creixell

This morning I went to a house that was owned by a famous character Empordà the late nineteenth century. It happened for me his story because he had heard, but did not know exactly.

The Watchmaker of Creixell he was a bandit act Empordà land during the third Carlist war. When they run to the sandy Onyar in Girona in 1882, was accused of nearly a score of murders, plus numerous robberies. Plan a work he wrote ameníssim mix of reportage and historical essays. Among the puzzling aspects of the personality of the watchmaker, was interested in the plan, especially to discover the causes that led to an artisan of good reputation, more frequent visitor of the families honorable in the region, and to fix the clocks kept running to become a criminal who had feared the involvement of a network of informers. Plan discards political motivations: the clock was a conservative spontaneous, without sympathy or federal Carline. Its bloody trends, however, would have found a place conducive to manifest itself in the situation of anarchy and disorder that crossed the entire region since the 1868 revolution until the Restoration. One of the Watchmaker's favorite phrases was "the dead do not speak."

seems to catch him during a robbery, while the tenants murdered a house, a girl was inside a closet and admitted making the police know.

The main contributor was the Little Pins (neighborhood near Camallera), Cal Little, a farmhouse near the road to Vilopriu Camallera. Was executed with his head. The meetings were to prepare for the misdeeds of Malpàs Vinardell Can a farmhouse Valldevià also near Vilopriu.

is clear that Plan took into account what has happened in more recent times. As he acknowledges, "after the last civil war, the issue of crime, I was presented in terms of a permptorietat. Not being a moralist, a plan was interested less crime in general the appearance of the individual criminal, and simplifying the maximum, set up a simple typology. There are two kinds of criminals: those who are by nature and "the ending here because the social or political situation that gives a certain feel of impunity." Plan seems inclined to think that the watchmaker was Creixell this second class, but could not make it because the news about the character were already scarce and vague when it began its investigation, and found more with a curious propensity to ' Omerta, the law of silence among those who gave evidence of having heard something (seventy years after the death of the villain!).

Reducing even more, we could talk, and that is very current, the "monsters" and "opportunistic." The Watchmaker, background, participated in the two conditions. I am of the opinion that, in general, and thankfully, the opportunists abound more than the monsters that is, the perpetrators of evil for evil. The rest is only a matter of skill. Certainly the clock was working. Otherwise, even anarchy, not explained the durability of the criminal action of the robber.

Plan s'esglaia not the end of the watchmaker. It was somehow end sung. Josep Pla understood that he was in favor of capital punishment, with particularity: that reus were spiritually assisted by the Confraternity of the Immaculate Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In this way, supposedly, there was always the possibility of repentance and, therefore, of salvation, not earthly but eternal. Sad consolation, in my opinion, for those convicted, who had already done.

Luckily my friend is very good person, with this background it gets to be any watchmaker.

Cost Rheumatoid Factor Test

Arsenic for life

"In the film "The president and Miss Wade," Michael Douglas was a U.S. president who had just wrapped up with Annette Bening. When she arrived at the scene to be put to bed for the first time the president will take an attack of nerves, typically male , and he points out that "the expectations that she may have, taking into note that he is the most powerful man in the world, then remember that this is only a political and distinction ... "
And this is creating great expectations often result in disappointment. It happens in books, films and even the people that maybe you should appreciate the virtues if not been discussed much. Well I would say the same thing happened yesterday at NASA.
really created many expectations. Monday convened a press conference to make an announcement "of great importance in the search for extraterrestrial life." Home! NASA says that this suggests that they have found at least one alien organism. Maybe we have not contacted little green men, but simply because extraterrestrial bacteria would be a bomb.
But when it came time to decide, with press conference broadcast live over the Internet, the news caused some disappointment. A pity, because the discovery is history. Will change the textbooks and we look at life differently since yesterday. But with expectations raised, it seems that something is a flop. I think they should have announced it with less fuss.
What we have discovered extraterrestrial bacteria is not (as some news is announced), but one here on Earth. A bacterium called GFAJ-1 growing in a lake California and have a special never seen until now: "You can replace the phosphorus by arsenic in their biomolecules. It seems a great pump information, right? Well believe me, it is. But it is still a bomb at very academic and requires some explanation. It is the discovery of an alien as expected and NASA seemed to suggest.
When one examines the life of the things that make grace is that despite the vast differences that exist in shapes, sizes and lifestyles, the chemical basis that all organisms on Earth is almost same. From whales to bacteria, chemical reactions that occur are the same or very similar. The DNA encoded with the same genetic code, is the molecule that we use to store genetic information. The proteins made with the same amino acids, are the pieces that build the bodies. Burn the sugars for energy and as a specialized molecules called ATP is all we use to transfer energy.
All this range is achieved by combining a few atoms. Although there are many chemicals available on nature, life as we know (knew ) is based on six types of atoms. Students used the word CHONPS to remember that life is based on carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. You will notice that P corresponds to phosphorus because P is its chemical symbol (for Phosphorus).
Phosphorus is an essential and part of the DNA, RNA, the ATP and many biological processes. It is very common to be used as "switch" and there are proteins that are inactive and start running when you need it simply sticking a phosphate group. Therefore phosphate fertilizers are important. The cells need phosphorus, usually in the form phosphate, to survive.
Well you have found a bacterium that can survive using arsenic instead of phosphorus. Not only can survive in a place with arsenic. This bacteria can use arsenic instead of phosphorus to make things like DNA. Instead of ATP (adenosine triphosphate to) make ATAs (for adenosine triarseniat). We had never seen a DNA molecule that was different from the others. But now we have found one that works with a different chemical.
Then come the details. The bacteria used preferably phosphorus, but only if Arsenic is thus incorporates. This means that you have a metabolism, enzymes, very private. Arsenic is a poison for us because it closely resembles the phosphorus. If we eat, can take its place, but then makes our biochemical machinery to stop working. Instead, these bacteria have found ways to leave it, incorporate it and keep working. Therefore, if we find extraterrestrial life, until yesterday, a place without the phosphorus and arsenic should not considered promising. But arsenic just joining the elements that can sustain life. We have a whole front new chemistry of life, with the hitherto only speculated.
As a biologist I find it extraordinary. Publishers of books on science can begin to rewrite some chapters. This has many implications for both life out of space. I have no doubt that the discovery could be the year. But how NASA made the announcement was perhaps a little too excessive. That day will eventually find a body alien? "

Replacement Baby Alive Doll

Nudo de Sangre , Agustín Sánchez Vidal

"Nudo de Sangre" is primarily a novel of adventures. Adorned with a real manual quipus, the Inca knots that became a symbol of identity and that historians are beginning to interpret as a form of language, an alternative to writing, given its complexity.

Sanchez Vidal makes a quipu the protagonist of his novel, winner of the Spring Espasa, and he leads in search for the legendary treasure of the Incas. The legend says that after thirty years of resisting the attacks English Vilcabamba, the lost city, the Incas were defeated fall without revealing to anyone for saving his unimaginable wealth. The gold of Peru that the Spaniards sought tirelessly, though why they had to destroy an ancient way of life.

A horse of legend and history, The author develops a story of love between a Spaniard and a mestizo in the middle eighteenth century. The Sebastian family crest with a mysterious knot, always made him suspect there was something mysterious among his ancestors, but until it embarks on the adventure story "Nudo de Sangre" do not know how point. It is a novel, entertaining, easy reading although some points abuses technical words in the world in terms of navigation or Inca symbolism. Highlight the resources used to capture the reader, are not much different from "The Lost World" of Matilde Asensi, or the famous "Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown: intrigue in abundance, mixing history and fantasy and pair keeping the sexual tension page by page. I have some pages left over excessive persecution between the good and bad.

Will The Gaming Pc Last Long

Chaos

The news this weekend has been all over Spain air chaos caused by the strike covertly, or not so covertly, of air traffic controllers. These gentlemen, following the government's position not to accept their proposals, have made a massive abandonment of their jobs, claiming illness in some cases, in others not alleging anything.

Rather than positioning me for or against their claims, I think these are completely useless from the moment that use this bridge to make them festive and more in the way they did. I know the position of Minister White xulesca in their closest circles had commented that "firm put all these drivers, months before this incident. Nothing beyond the fact that armed forces have taken control of the situation and, according to some journalists have said, the airport of Palma de Mallorca, have even threatened at gunpoint so that drivers were prepared to carry out their work.

As is the country with a grave crisis, I totally disagree on this particular type of protests and leaving many people abandoned at airports in some specific dates that the majority wanted to make family visits. There is no right way, and hopefully more than one of these drivers have made the mistake of his life. One group that has extraordinary working conditions can not put a country absolute chaos. I suppose in few days we will know all the issues related to this story, but to many it seems a disproportionate attitude of "strikers."

also some that criticize the government's decision to militarize the service, ie, to declare a state of alert and therefore the armed forces take control of airports. It seems to me a strong and wise decision. Just to see the chaos that can be generated by the cessation of all air activity in the country, since it justifies it.

I think there are certain basic public services in the provision of which the government concerned is responsible, so can not waste time thinking too much decision to make. We'll see how this situation drift.

Nasal Congestion For 1 Month

air in Spain "Today I can not myself levant "

Last Saturday, November 20, we went to see the musical "Hoy no me I can levant" at the Teatro Tivoli in Barcelona. A great show of more than 3 hours. This music is an overview of the 80's through the music group Mecano. And I came after a lot of stories.

I started the 80 to 15 years and I ended up with 25, married with a daughter on the road. God do there, how much work in 10 years!

They started with a high general entry of democracy in Spain after 40 years of dictatorship. I remember the daily demonstrations in Girona, with gray delivering blows to anyone who was put in front. Propaganda spread by those who had some initial games that I did not understand: CDC, PSC, PSUC, UDC, ERC, UCD, PSP, ... Go to those premises where they were in there I felt nice to be committing any ilegalitat, the local CDC in Las Ramblas, PSUC on the road to Barcelona ... seeing those gentlemen out there who would each later newscasts.

General strikes, student strikes, general adopted, as it always ended when I played myself. What we always work touched me, something that even I got to like.

And of course, come the next 23F 1981. That afternoon one of my brothers came home from his walk to the Rambla, happy because there had been a coup. My father almost smeared on the wall. The next class the professor of history they could show off with the radio on. It seemed that normality was returning.

And the following year, 1982, I passed COU, selectivity, driving license and no military service. Twenty months I spent! What success when they removed the requirement.

The emergence of drugs that started slowly and went speeding. Of the leeks to the emergence of cocaine and heroin after it swept among a segment of youth. And finally, AIDS, which ended with the remaining rights. I remember a good friend who one day gave him an envelope with white powder, so try it "and so would his girlfriend to a hundred." It's a brave guy. Paperina He put on the bedside table and not touched. His mother asked him what it was: "Cocaine" he said. The mother did not believe, but he threw the paperina. Neither would have touched. He was brave and clever. But we all know someone who failed to pass the drug.

Incidentally, I discovered that the song "Barco a Venus" was referring to a trip by hallucinogenic drugs. Never in my life I had realized I had this message. Like so many others.

All this led to the decade that lived very intensely. It's like coffee so strong that you make to certain sites and spend a whole day like a rocket. We went from black and white colors see them all in ten years. I did not have the stomach for digestion prepared so heavy.

The music reminded me that someone had said that nothing remains 80. Well, many stayed and were many things, many memories, many experiences. My eldest daughter, comes from those years. Born in May 1990. What a great way to close a decade.

History of improvement. Biography of Ferran Sunyer Balaguer

Born in Figueres with almost total physical disability, Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer was confined for life in a wheelchair who could not move himself, then being constantly dependent on the care of others . His father died when Fernando was only two years, leaving his mother, Mrs. Angela Balaguer alone in the care and attention of his son, so they moved to the maternal grandmother's house where he lived with his cousins \u200b\u200bMary, Angels and Ferdinand. Subsequently, all moved to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bconstituting a family unit, full of virtues, which grew and matured our famous mathematician.

As the doctor felt that it was more prudent to depart from the sick fatigue as a possible education and teachers, Ferdinand has no other choice but to learn by himself or through his lessons mother, who by his loving and gracious spirit could not endanger their health. This instruction and education are directly influenced, no doubt, coexistence with cousins \u200b\u200bwho were more than brothers to him throughout life. After a period of avid reading, in which he awoke the interest in astronomy and physics, mathematics sparked his vocation, which occupies the rest of his life.

In 1938 Ferran Sunyer announced its first results on teacher Jacques Hadamard Academy of Sciences in Paris, which published one of his works to the "Comptes Rendus" of the Academy and encouraged him to pursue the paths of research. At this time, Sunyer keep Ferdinand a constant exchange with the French school of analysts, particularly Szolem Mandelbrojt and his disciples, and began to publish regularly. His physical condition is not so limited himself allowed him to write his articles. The first dictated to his mother until his death in 1955 and, after a period of sadness and despair, the search resumed with vigor and were his cousins \u200b\u200bwho wrote research papers.

continuity in the work, together with some admirable intellectual skills, resulted in a limited and valuable production recognized for its high scientific value, which was awarded several prizes: Prize Agell, Academy of Sciences of Barcelon (1948); Prize Prat de la Riba, the Institute of Catalan Studies (1949), Premio de la Academia de Ciencias de Zaragoza (1950), two awards " Torres Quevedo "and" Franco "(1956) National Research Council, Award of the Academy of Sciences of Madrid, and winner of Ardenya Martin, of the Institute of Catalan Studies (1966).

Despite the recognition of his merits, he was much more difficult to achieve social and professional position that corresponient for their work and their economic position, in some periods, to have been exempt difficulties. It was not until 9 December 1967, 18 days before his death, which confirmed his appointment as research scientist in the Division of Mathematical Sciences, Medical and Nature of the CSIC.

to their physical conditions, qualifications for studies officers arrived very late. When he graduated from high school, had been awarded by various academies. Licensed in 1960, he obtained a doctorate after the legal requirement of two years as a student. Although from 1948 was on the payroll of the Mathematical Seminar as a "potential partner", but it became a full member until 1962, though for years his work was not to collaborate, but to lead.

His articles appear regularly in the journal Mathematical Seminar Barcelona Collectanea Mathematica, which was in referee and adviser. On several occasions he was consulted as an advisor for the edtiros Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society. Actively participate in courses and lectures given by guest lecturers in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bmany suggested by himself. On the occasion of a conference in 1966, H. Mascart University of Toulouse, said he felt honored by the presence of Sunyer i Balaguer, "le Premier of loin, Espagnols Among the mathematicians. "

At all times, felt linked to the scientific movement of his country with humility and accept the limitations resulting from this attitude, resisting several offers from abroad, particularly France and some U.S. institutions. In 1963 he was hired by the U.S. Navy and in the years following his research results were more respected. "His value to the prestige of the English Scientific community was outstanding and his work in mathematics was of a steady excellence that make historical loss difficult to accept" (letter of condolence TB Owen, Rear Admiral of the Navy).

The circumstances under which Sunyer got his achievements testify to his remarkable human qualities. His treatment was a great kindness and their conversation reflected joy, a joy to live, work and to cultivate friendship, which was much more accepting of the difficulties of life in store for him. His views were so strong and wise, and while it had a delicate respect for the opinions and the works of others. With genuine humility ensure that their work be recognized, but their requests were always exempt from any requirement or overvaluation. But the most striking qualities was his total lack of concern or complex for their physical conditions, which surely was due largely to the wise education received from his mother, a model of adaptation of a disability in our society.

On 27 September 1967, although fully active, died Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer. The memory of this outstanding personality is a constant source of encouragement for our own work. Taken and translated from "Fernando Sunyer Balaguer (1912-1967), Juan Augé. Mathematical Gazette, 1st series, Volume XX, numbers 3 and 4, PAGES 3-7.

Study on Public Employment and Coastal Law


In early October, was the PIMEC published his study on public employment in a phase of economic crisis . Not much to write anything because everything is in the same study said. Only three notes:

1. Catalonia is an autonomous community with fewer officers per thousand inhabitants, as opposed to Extremadura, which is more community officers. This makes me think of what "Cuckolds and pay the drink," so often when I think about.

2. The increase highest officials in Catalonia are produced by the security forces (police deployment), the Council and its autonomous bodies (?) And non-university teaching (Increased number of schools).

3. However there is a decrease in the number of university officials (?).

not comment on anything, just leave this information here because I think that this is not the right way to overcome the crisis.

Ringworm On Fresh Tattoo

Empuriabrava

This story appeared in yesterday's La Vanguardia, 31 October 2010:
The implementation of the Act Costas is a bad dream for thousands of ; owners of Empuriabrava (Alt Empordà). The placid image of urbanization waterway, with yachts moored at the foot of plot has been struck by the plans to enforce the law with a new boundary. The future of Empuriabrava, according to the owners, is mortgaged to shore up the division.
Tug OTHER IN SPANISH GEOGRAPHY
Andalusian The Board rejected the demarcation on the coast of Doñana
The Government has gone hand in deslinde de la franja costera de Doñana, lo que ha provocado las iras de la Junta de Andalucía y de los propietarios particulares. El dominio marítimo terrestre se mete hasta casi cinco kilómetros tierra adentro. La principal afectada es la Junta de Andalucía, que gestiona el parque, aunque también la estación biológica de Doñana (dependiente del CSIC) y la familia González Gordon. El Gobierno andaluz espera conocer la posición de la nueva ministra de Medio Ambiente, Rosa Aguilar, antes de recurrir a los tribunales. Con la aplicación de la ley de Costas, Medio Ambiente pretende recuperar el control de una buena parte del parque de Doñana, cuya gestión tuvo que ceder a la Junta por una sentencia del Constitucional. By drawing the delimitation line looks at some points 4.8 kilometers, in the eastern part remains in just over two miles. The length is 35 kilometers, a total of 9,200 hectares, almost 12% of the national park. In this country no one could do anything without the authorization of the ministry, although the use for 30 years is attributable to the current owners. The cause of the confrontation is not on account of the degree of protection of the area, but the control exercised over and administration. There are fears that this band is used for political battle. Not now because the two governments are of the same political. In memory is the fight tooth and nail for control of Doñana, in the discharge of flooding the Guadiamar Aznalcóllar when José María Aznar ordered the Moncloa and Manuel Chaves in Seville.

About 800 affected families trying to save their homes in Elx
"The Coastal Act has destroyed the lives of more than 15,000 families Valencia." The states and José Ortega, secretary, spokesman and legal adviser of the National Platform of People Affected by the Coastal Act. The lawyer says that the ratio of cases is "incredible" that we can speak of "human disaster in large sections the Valencian coast. "These are the stories of 800 families in Los Arenales del Sol, in Elche (Alicante), which made a demarcation of the public domain on their farms and continue fighting to save their homes. They are families most of the year living in apartments beachfront that were built in the 70's. Another example is the Santa Pola 140 families living in houses built in the late 60's. What's more, as the 74 housing El Saler, a series of villas and small three-story buildings that were built by the City Council and the Ministry of Housing in the 70's. In the same place, the emblematic Hotel Sidi Saler is now fighting in court Strasbourg to avoid expropriation by the boundary promoted in the south of Valencia. "The cases are legion and have sprouted in recent years in populations with high tourist occupancy as Torrevieja, Cullera and Gandia," added the lawyer. A sector that is highly active against Coastal Act, with the support of the Generalitat Valenciana and even PSPV-PSOE, the owners and licensees of beach bars. The battle, with strong support from local media, has led to enter the political discourse of the PP and victimization against the English government.

The new demarcation of Ministry of Environment marks a public domain reaches the final border between the channels of the Inner Harbor is located one mile inland. The green line border winds of public channels follows a zigzag trace this labyrinth of plot and goes until the last piers (domestic water covered garage).

It gets almost to the depths of each plot. The owners will lose the privacy of its mooring or dock, and, moreover, their plots are handled by a transit easement area, six-meter under the law to facilitate direct access to the sea. The easement area crosses the garden, pools and gazebos with barbecue, and "you get for half the beds in the house," says Tim Pelters, secretary of the Association of Owners of Empuriabrava.

Thousands of properties are affected. Flooded with water every parcel will become public domain. Some 2,000 berths situated on the canals, so far registered as private property, lost this status. And so dozens of interior piers or mooring plot located on private miniports located at the end of canals and along with townhouses.

"Todas estas propiedades y sus amarres están legalmente inscritas en los registros de propiedad como parcelas sin cargas ni limitaciones", explica Pelters. Se han ido comprando y vendiendo legalmente mediante escrituras notariales durante cuarenta años. "El Estado español ha legimitado todo esto. Ha habido centenares de operaciones de compraventa.

Notarios y registradores han ido legalizando de facto la situación. Se han hecho ventas sin advertencia alguna. Han intervenido tasadores y los bancos han hecho hipotecas. Además, hemos pagado impuestos a todas las administraciones por la totalidad de la parcela. Y nunca se nos ha advertido de la afectación", apunta Pelters. "El Estado ha cobrado for our properties and now says that property is not ours, "adds another owner, Brigitte Anquetil.

Hundreds of owners (with an apartment or house along the canals) are alarmed by the consequences of of way area will be reserved inside the plots for a possible future public step. This easement does not in itself a loss of legal ownership, but involves severe restrictions. In this age can not be made consolidation work, volume up or modernization. However, experts from the Ministry of Environment to finalize the demarcation point out that it is not necessary tirar vallas en las parcelas (para habilitar el paso) si existe una servidumbre de tránsito alternativa.

Pero los propietarios temen el sacrificio de esos seis metros de parcela. Para ellos, es un expolio. La consecuencia de todo esto es el desplome económico. Las ventas y los precios de las casas se han hundido. La inseguridad jurídica hace que muchos desconfíen a la hora de comprar. "¿Qué pasará con el valor de nuestras casas, qué pasará con el valor de las hipotecas?", se pregunta Susana Hoffmann, dueña de una inmobiliaria. Hay gente que ha pedido una hipoteca a cuarenta años. ¿Usted compraría?

Meanwhile, the notaries are beginning to warn of the possible effect of the boundary, and the registrars are put off with conflicting scripts. Another risk is the degradation of the area for lack of investment. Construction companies will take orders. "Fix, maintain, what if it is a property marked? Stigmatized.

"Placing a transit easement does not make sense. This is not the coast, is an artificial development. We are not against the spirit of the Coastal Act, but does not apply in this case," says Pelters. The owners have promoted various initiatives in Congress to amend the law- last, urged by Pere Macias, CiU, for the admission of that exception.

Environment technicians point out that the concession granted in their day to the promoters of Empuriabrava (July 31, 1980) and noted that the land occupied by the water formed in the public domain. "I do not know why there were piers. Recorders property should do their best work, but the previous legislation and said that was public domain zone", they say.

About the easement area, the same sources say "Generally" the allocation is given on gardens and pools. The rules of the Coastal Act does not require opening the immediate passage of the easement area traffic, but allowed to leave the situation as it is "if there is a right of transit alternative," ie, "if you are guaranteed step behind all the plots. " However, the easement area (middle of the property) itself would be enabled if it "does so in a new marina area."

"We bought in good faith. Trust notaries and registration. How could imagine that would be applied la ley de Costas veintidós years after aprobarla "Susana Dice desolate Hoffmann.

Obviously, this will not end because I doubt that a law can be loaded or expropriate private domain, no more. I guess it still discuss many years, but I am strong.

Logistics at its best: The application of logistics to a good cause

Last week touching moments lived in Chile, where 33 miners were rescued were over 60 days underground after a collapse at the mine where they worked.
say they were emotional because he really was, who has had the opportunity to see live some of the rescuers would probably agree with me. The feeling was pure joy, as if we were living in our country.
A week after the fact, I still have the sense of wonder at the scale of the operation. As a student of the career of Logistics Planning National University of Lanus did not feel I could not pass up the opportunity to bring to this space, what happened in Chile, because from a logistical standpoint, the series was perfect, the times were respected (and even advanced!) every one did what he had to do, the procedure was carried out without mishap, all this bearing in mind that the lives of 33 people were seriously in danger, about 600 yards to inside the earth.
really what I bring to this space because I think we can learn a lot from this experience that became the neighboring country, both in regard to technical and logistical aspects, such as those of a political nature, where I also gave an example of what good leadership can accomplish.

help prevent nausea that occurs as the rise in the capsule. This type of socks are woven so that the compression is lower in the upper leg, and the idea is to help blood circulation in the legs and prevent swelling.

Costume "Hipora" with reflective (moisture proof)

Briefs with nanotechnology (JAXA)

- Sox with copper wire :

bactericidal owned prevents moisture in the ground cause further infections. Copper was certified as the only metal in the world that have recognized beneficial properties in preventing agents pathogens. Accepted by NASA and some of the many space missions.

- calorie liquid diet:

is a special food provided by NASA to prevent vomiting in case of nausea on the rise, and that miners have been consumed before boarding.

- Sunglasses :

To prevent eye damage after having been so long without seeing sunlight. The glasses were donated by the Oakley brand and provide 100% protection against ultraviolet rays. Radar These glasses cost U.S. $ 260

- space Briefs:

Developed by Japan's space agency (JAXA), using nanotechnology to keep dry and odor free. Made with the same material used by Japanese astronaut Naoko Yamazaki 2-week stay aboard the ISS and member of the Discovery mission in April 2010.

- Costume waterproof light :

is made of "Hipora, a microporous fabric that wicks moisture away from the body and normally used in clothing for mountaineering. The suits have reflective and were tailored to each miner.

- Aspirin :

The miners have consumed this drug to prevent blood clots in the blood.

capsule Phoenix 2

- Phoenix Capsule:

Designed by a team of 20 aerospace engineers at Langley Research Center of NASA in Virginia, USA Originally designed by German engineers in the early 1955 and is a version of the so-called 'pump-Dahlbusch', a metal tube which on other occasions he rescued miners buried. Phoenix capsule traveled a distance of 622 meters by 78 trips up and down the area to evacuate the trapped miners.

- Harness with biometric sensors :

harnesses technology to monitor vital signs of the miners was developed New Zealand and transmits data via Bluetooth as body temperature and heart rate to monitor on the surface. In addition to subject the person inside the capsule, checks the vital signs of the miners.

- Belts biometric :

As used by NASA astronauts in their drills and elite soldiers U.S. military.

- Helmet with torch and microphone :

To protect yourself and stay connected.

Rescue Logistics :

- Arrival of the drill: The T-130 drilling completed last Saturday a hole of 622 m and 66 cm in diameter to the underground tunnel where the miners. That hole will be lifted men.

- Use of explosives: The trapped miners had carry out a controlled explosion in the gallery to make room for the dish that goes down to rescue them.

- Roof Vent: It coated the first 56 meters of the pipeline to protect it from falling rocks.

- Descent of the rescuers to the area of \u200b\u200brefuge: A mine rescue will be the first to descend through the hole to the bottom of the mine, followed by a nurse, three nurses and a mine rescuer, to help the miners in the process of exit to the surface. They will remain down until the last miner left.

Comparative and depth of the mine location

drilling and recovery process is finally approved.

- Rise of the miners via capsule: The 33 miners will be hauled to the surface in a capsule of 4 meters high and 450 kilos of weight equipped with oxygen, communication equipment and high-tech harnesses measuring vital signs of each of them. The miners will be provided with material clothing, gloves, water and sunglasses not to suffer eye damage after so long in the dark. The most skilled will rise first, then they will have the ability to solve any problems during the ascent. After the business will go up the fragile, among which are the most weight, while the last to leave the strongest would be able to continue working and managing the anxiety of waiting.

- Medical: Each miner who go out will be welcomed by doctors and paramedics of the Corporación Nacional del Cobre (Codelco) and Navy of Chile, who will give you quick medical placed a tent right next to the exit hole.

- Meeting with Families: After verifying that the miner is in good physical condition, will pass to a special module in isolation, few meters from the medical tent, where you can meet two or three families.

- Transfer to hospital by helicopter, then be transported by ambulance to a heliport in the same mine, built for the occasion, military helicopters and taken to a military base (in a distance of about 12 minutes) and from there by ambulance will travel about 300 meters Regional Hospital of Copiapo. In this place will be a minimum of 48 hours for a closer look.

rescue capsule

in the capsule:

To the rescue, the miners are provided with a special lightweight suit, waterproof. They also carry a heart rate monitor to monitor vital signs during the climb; also equipped with an oxygen mask, and a headset to be in permanent contact with the surface. Rubber bands around the legs prevent circulatory problems during the voyage.

also have another device on the finger to measure oxygen. Workers should go out with eyes closed and immediately are given dark glasses to avoid damage to vision.

steel capsule, manufactured in shipyards and Arsenal of the Navy, was designed with high technology and assisted in its manufacture by NASA engineers. Had an emergency exit at the bottom, allowing the miner to the deal, leave her if she suffers a mishap, in case the capsule is stuck, workers can activate a series of levers inside the box to download back to the bottom mine. The rise of each miner to the surface was estimated between 12 and 15 minutes. During the first rescue was made a little maintenance, changing some of its side wheels.

similar There are three characteristics: 1, 2 and 3. The earliest evidence of slippage inside the duct the previous days were made by the Phoenix 1, but the concrete to rescue his sister, The Phoenix 2. Were named by the Chilean authorities in allusion to the myth of the bird that was reborn from the ashes, as they are now doing the Chilean miners. a metal structure is four meters tall, weighs 460 kilograms and has an approximate width of 53 inches.

The cage has two parts: one was painted white (top) and the other blue and red (lower), as are the colors of the flag of Chile. The blue and red parts make up the "life form" or principal may result from the top, of problems at the time of promotion.

Costs, costs and more costs!


"One of the determining factors for any process, be it logistics or production is carried out successfully, implement an adequate system of indicators to measure their management , so that indicators can be implemented in strategic positions that reflect an optimal outcome in the medium and long term, through a good information system to measure the different stages of the logistics process. "
So begins an article that uses a partner in his blog, which aims to reflect on the impact of the issue "costs" in all areas in general, and logistics in particular. My goal for this entry focuses on the importance each one of those who partake of these opportunities for exchange of ideas and knowledge given to the subject, and the incidence in terms of information available.
The idea came from a blog post on the blog "Quelogistik" created by Adrian Maidment, called "transportation cost index in August 2010" http://quelogistik.blogspot.com/2010/09/indice -of-cost-of-trans-agosto.html # comments . In that entry Adrian informs the indices developed by the Argentina Federation of Businesswomen Entities Trucking (FADEEAC), yielding a 0.46% increase in transportation costs for the month under review.
reading the note I thought the cost issue is one that we always keep in mind. A glance at many of the posts of the group and any observer will notice that the item is performed on many entries, directly or indirectly. Not only that, but since the classes are a lot of emphasis on cost, how it is calculated, how to assess and measure them constantly. Just name or multimodal transportation issues such as reverse logistics for those who participated remember the amount of work for the calculation of costs and the assembly of models costing as part of these subjects.
In another space, the blog simply Logistics, Pablo Ramírez, was published the note referred to the introductory paragraph on indicators logistics, a very interesting article which presents the indicators and their formulas for calculating, really worth a look: http://simplementelogistica.blogspot.com/2010/09/indicadores-logisticos.html
Thinking a little deeper into the issue and how is something "recurring", to call it one way, came to my mind a proposal emerged at a meeting of members of Intralog, not long ago to take a course Linear programming, aimed at the student to develop analytical and practical skills to model calculation using the PL
Finally, title and information, if you search for "logistics costs" in google, the search engine yields 304,000 results (0.54 seconds).
is clear that the costs are capitalized and a theme in our field are taken into account, as are likely in all areas. It is also clear that an administration that ignores the costs, even "good" that is, most likely ending in a memory of a good intention or a good project. Today it is impossible not to think about costs when doing business, working in an existing business or organization, or planning new projects in the future.
is why to follow this line we are going through, I'll use an article published by Dr. Ing Pedro Dimas Ayala Becquer, "Development of a Logistics System Costs" http://www.bibliociencias.cu/gsdl/collect/eventos/index / assoc/HASH80c8.dir/doc.pdf , which not only has the incidence of costs in logistics management, but also the impact on logistics management system, which is closely related to the core New Technologies area.

In order to evaluate the actions that influence the cost is Logistics essential to analyze certain aspects of interest in which stand out:
  • Basic Principles of Logistics Costs
  • Logistics Cost Category
  • Relevance ranges.
  • Direct Return.

Basic Principles of Logistics Costs

The development of appropriate or adequate cost of a Logistics System part of the approach or provide guidance to them. That is, the ability to focus toward the exit of the distribution system, essentially to direct efforts towards the provision of customer service and identify unique costs associated with that output, traditional accounting methods, no approach directed to these purposes, especially because they were designed in response to other needs.
One of the basic principles logistics costs is that the system should reflect the material flow ie should be able to identify the costs that result from providing customer service on the market.
A second principle is that the system must be capable of allowing separate analyzes costs and revenues by customer type and by market segment or distribution channel. The latter need arises because of the use of averages or mean values, resulting in substantial variations around the mean.
To apply these principles requires a new conception of the costs, ie that we first must define the Logistics System and then identify the associated costs.
currently used a very useful concept and is called as a mission. In a logistic approach, a Mission can be defined as a set of actions or goals designed to ensure adequate customer service, missions may be defined in terms of type of market served, why that product and within limitations service and cost. A mission comprising, on the horizon and passes the lines of a company
A Logistics System Cost-effective should seek to determine the total cost of the system to achieve the desired logistics objectives (outputs of the system) and the cost of various inputs involved in achieving these outputs this approach to the problem is known as Cost of the Mission. Currently there is a strong interest with a focus on this problem, known as "Cost of the Mission."

categories of logistics costs.
Logistics Costs grouped all costs attached to the business functions that control and manage material flows and information flows associated. It must state that the development costs is one of the most critical activities in the design and operation of logistics systems and also presents the greatest difficulty, in part by the lack of definition or understanding of the structure of costs that affect the behavior of a system.
The categories on which logistics costs and apply the concepts on which they are used in correspondence with the sequence of flow remain the same:
  • Operating Costs The . which are related to the logistical facilities such as warehouses, distribution centers, market hubs, etc. and can be of two types
  • The Costs Discontinued , which are those that vary in stages depending on the volume of circulation.
  • The Continuing Costs , ranging linear or non-linearly with the volume of traffic

Discontinued The Costs are based on circulation and have constant values \u200b\u200bfor certain specific ranges of movement. See Figure No 1
circulation of 0 for at 1 the value of the cost will be C or between t 1 and t 2 The cost incurred is C 1 and so on the cost incurred when circulation is zero (C or ) is a fixed cost. Discontinuous costs can be caused by several factors including:
􀀣 Annual depreciation.
􀀣 maintenance.
􀀣 management costs.
􀀣 Others.


Figure No. 1 Representation Costs Discontinued
The Continuing Costs are a function of circulation and are generally not linear but in each instance may be represented as a linear cost. These costs include, the following see Figure No. 2
􀀣 Effect of learning curve.
􀀣 Economy of scale

Figure No. 2 Continuous Representation Costs

operational costs can be classified depending on their logistics function, in:
  • Supply, represented by the cost of orders.
  • storage, represented by the costs of space, facilities, handling and stock ownership.
  • associated information represented by the costs of logistics management.


The Costs of Transportation .
The movement of goods from origin to their destinations is in most cases the largest component of total logistics costs.
On different composition and structure, Two different types of transport and thus also costs
"A Long Distances» . Generally is the transport of goods between producers and distributors warehouses
'Distribution'. Known as the transport of goods between producers and distributors to store their POS networks and end users,

Long Distance Transport In the transport distances lengthen , regardless of the chosen mode (truck, plane, train, etc.) costs are directly linked to weight, volume and distance to travel to the destination, so that each mode has an associated coefficient. Within each mode, the size of the load determines that rate, creating a sliding scale.
For long-distance transport by road, in most cases, this transport is contracted to companies that were born and raised under a large manufacturer that has secured a large volume, allowing cover the high initial fixed costs, then these companies have been recruiting other manufacturers of similar products and make deliveries to nearby points, thus creating a "principle.
Transportation Distribution . Due to the specialization required by this type transport, since the driver must know the products transported, routes, invoices, delivery notes, the quality of some products, replacement and return of goods, etc. The usual distribution transport to be made with personal and / or media company.
In this case, the cost of transport is composed of personnel costs and operational driver of the truck used to, being of lower tonnage (4 to 6 t) the investment required is smaller , but its operating characteristics, maintenance costs are higher.
General: transportation costs are related to the origins and destinations, the goods, the mode of transport used and the weight or volume of goods transported and have the character to behave discontinuously at a given stage .
I say goodbye with the hope that this contribution add to what has been shared by other peers that promote public awareness of issues that are useful for the activity and day to day than integrate it.

Until next time!
