A sea of mud crosses Brazil
17

Government refutes criticisms of negligence, but the dam Samarco 
(mineral enterprise) that poured into the center of the country a “sea of mud” may happen again in the region itself or in 138 other dams in the country that still use primitive methods of dams.
Second report of the ANA (National Water Agency), dated September 30, 2014, only in Bahia State has 33 dams in the high risk category.
When passing helicopter the area hit by the “sea of mud”, made a week after the rupture of dams, the president said he had sent the Minister of National Integration and the National Secretary of Civil Defense in the region on the first day, but nothing was done.
The sea of mud has reached the populous regions of Governador Valadares and Colatina (ES), and the water supply is compromised, the region is too large to be supplied only by water kites trucks.
In a report of a television program on Sunday (15/10) cracks were shown in another dam Samarco mining company, and has been shown as they are poorly monitored another 700 dams that exist in the country.
In São Paulo State, there is a similar risk to the Mariana in the city of Aluminio, near Sorocaba, the municipality of aluminum, has a dam located behind a massive rock wall, near the village FEPASA, the tailings dam Mining Companhia Brasileira de Aluminio (CBA), part of the Votorantim Group.
The dam Palmital Votorantim Metals stores the generated red mud from bauxite residue conversion aluminum oxide (alumina), can break due to the intensive use of caustic soda in the separation of components.
The electric car batteries evolve

The lithium ions are those that feed many mobile
devices, but use this technology in automobiles has proved difficult, and the current batteries in electric car have little autonomy (80 to 100 km only).
Now researchers at the University of Cambridge are researching a kind of battery called lithium-air or lithium-oxygen, which can provide 10 times more energy, and even sufficient power to compare with gasoline, but it still involves some problems practical.
Now researchers at Cambridge University say they have patented a technology that overcomes some of the main obstacles, according to Clare Grey, project researcher and chemistry professor at the University of Cambridge, now “a significant achievement” of his team already has progress towards high capacity “as we take efficiency to numbers that compete with the current lithium-ion technology.”
With an efficiency of up to 93%, and does so using a different chemical from that used in previous attempts: employing lithium hydroxide (LiOH) in place of lithium peroxide (Li2O2), and also using carbon electrode in the base of the graphene and “additives that alter the chemical reactions at work on the battery, making it more stable and more efficient,” said the researcher.
The result is published in the journal Science.
COP21 and G7

The cop21 and G7 Warm weather (at least in Brazil), heats up the race 
for COP21, the Paris Conference on Climate Change, but the G7 wants to cool all, the club of the 7 richest nations in the world.
According to a study, which involved the Brazilian rooted in Switzerland, Marcia Rocha, which the G7 is proposing will not serve to stop the 2 degrees Celsius that greenhouse gas emissions will lead to the planet by 2030, the target will have accomplished something around 30 % of needed as inform the Centre’s Climate brazilian blog.
Analyses of Climate Analitics show that following the combined current policies, only achieve 5% of the “ambition gap” Canada a member of G & said with the target for 2020 would be increased by 35% the so-called INDC (Contributions Nationally Certain Intended) compared to 1990.
The report proposes three recommendations to the G7: significantly increase the ambition of their INDCs here to the Paris conference in December; to strengthen the current targets, the shear stress becomes smaller after 2020; arguing that review cycles of the new agreement targets are five years, not ten, to prevent unambitious goals end up running for a long time.
While the big mobilize, social networks too, around the world there will be demonstrations, in Brazil there is already a call by the networks in a demonstration for the 29th of November.
Because brazilian inflation rises
29
Oct
Soft loans and low interest rates were the government’s way businesses buy
and get more money for their campaigns, and BNDES is the epicenter of this hurricane. So little it is policy to increase the Selic brazilian rate, which theoretically would be a restriction on credit, the BNDES made loans of more than US $ 170 billion, which is larger than the World Bank, and maintains interest rate subsidy to the select group of “friends ” from the government.
It is one among so many lies, but this is a lie to the government itself, desperately trying to restrict credit to curb inflation, which has reached 9.85 % and is expected to hit the disturbing double digits by the end of the year.
Like the government or not is already the worst recession in 25 years, say all economists unless the government fundamentalists who ask the BNDES credit easier for entrepreneurs would not be against the high rates of Selic falling on the population.
Gross debt progressed to 65% of GDP and was 52% when the president took over in 2011, and the level that is this interest that becomes significant because it will undermine the country’s ability to invest, as interest rates making it even more prohibitive these debts.
The gross debt of the country grew to about 65 percent of its gross domestic product. When President Dilma Rousseff, who is trying to avoid impeachment, took over in 2011, the proportion was 52 percent.
Economists repeat the central bank “needs to raise rates significantly more than normal every rising inflation” and the government control your spending, but will it?
Technologies that can change our lives

Many things can impact our lives and change the way the market and even
people behave, it is the case with many technologies, but there is still something to happen.
3D printers, grew 35% since 2011, the figures were moved around US $ 1.7 billion is over $ 3 billion this year and could reach 6.5 billion by 2019, according to assessment of Alliance Bernstein, and this may affect up to production mode.
Already posted here that Skype will be doing translations online in an attempt to compete in a space filled increasingly by WhatsApp, the sense of citizenship world will increase with this and the global village will becoming a homeland-world, as predicted Edgar Morin .
The company Joule Biotechnologies instead of using organic matter, we must stop the organic production for fuels unfortunately is the case of sugarcane and corn, are trying to accomplish genetic modification to photosynthetic organisms that use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into ethanol and diesel which is carbon, and oxygen (C02). This may change the supply chain that depends on fossil fuels.
A changing world depends on the technology and they can and should affect human life, but of course, all decisions are taken by men (and women).
Youtube launches “red” version

A paid version without ads left the suspicious digital world, is it the first step 
to collect the famous application videos? Bought by Google, by chance or not the company released the name of a site adult site (RedTube), without this being explained in a reasonable manner to the public.
An executive of the seeker, said the product “is challenging,” but did not explain what was in fact the choice of color for the site, in a press conference, he said: “As we talk to users and fans in our studies, the term ‘red’ was often associated with YouTube.
He has a lot of meaning in terms of love and also the red carpet, “which is interesting but does not seem to explain a lot.When asked about the other site said emphatically: “We are not concerned with the other site,” it seems that the company believes may modify the “mark”.
The site The Next Web, the name associate a search by “Red” and “Tube” would fall in this service, but actually link these two things is not a happy idea.
Brazilian economical crisis continue

During the last four years we reported on our blog worsening control of public 
spending, the figures now indicate that the transfer trend of rising US currency for inflation, will impact on the whole population, especially the poor.
According to Folha de São Paulo Magazine, all banks and consulting firms have revised up the expected inflation in 2016, most with rates above 7.5%, while the central bank tries to remain optimistic at a rate of 6.5%, but in 2016 will inflation.
It would take structural measures, not just palliative which are the sine that are taken as the control “monetarist” the interest rate alone does not account to hold inflation within an uncompetitive economy as the Brazilian, with high taxes.
Monetarism is a neoliberal economic theory that argues that it is possible to maintain the stability of the capitalist economy for control of monetary instruments, the volume of money available, interest rates, dollar value and various other forms of payment.
The alarming data, which measure key year is just the last elections is the comparison of per-capita income of Brazil’s gross debt as % of GDP, it leaves no doubt that on average, the Brazilian is impoverishing (into debt) and the poor more.
Whats is BI ?
05
Oct
Brazilian in times of crisis, the survival analysis of a company depends
on rapid analysis of social change agents: investment, market and customers must be rapidly analyzed so that an overview of business trends can be assessed.
Linked to information technology, management and business, the term Business Intelligence (BI), or just business intelligence emerged, referring to the process of collecting, organizing, analyzing, sharing and monitoring information that give business management support
So it is a framework of methods, processes, structures and technologies that transform a large amount of raw data into useful information for strategic decision-making is, therefore, what you can do with information for decision making.
The primary sources of information are collected within their own companies, since the latter sources of information include the consumer’s needs, the customer’s decision process, competitive pressures, the relevant industry conditions, economic and technological and cultural trends.
Finally a BI system should set a specific goal as far as the organizational goal to expand the company’s vision, coexisting with your goals, how that should be achieved in the long and short term, on the business and collecting information.
Cynical political in Brazilian ministerial reform

While the company expected a government nod on making reforms that 
Politicking pulled the belt also in the huge state machine, which finally saw there was a huge give and take with the most area linked to personal interests of the legislative bodies.
The PMDB is strengthened, though a small group of 20 MPs have protested against the take there gives here, to the Ministry of Science and Technology will the unknown (will that made at least one college) Congressman Celso Pansera in Civil Aviation, Eliseu Padilha, did not change his “high-flying” by Science and Technology and favored the PMDB drawing play in the country’s infrastructure, read manipulating their interests, as required by the party leader in the House, Leonardo Picciani (RJ).
Pansera was quoted by the money changer Alberto Yousseff in plea bargaining in the operation Lava-Jato (rober public Money) as “tariff warrant” the mayor, Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ), which denies the deputy, also of the PMDB Congressman Marcelo Castro (PMDB-PI) will for Health folder that has a fat budget, it should be for people’s health.
The son of the mega-landowner Jader Barbalho see his son get out of Fishing Minister (joke) to go to the Havens Minister, hélder barbalho he was confirmed in the Ports Department, as was her request.
There is still an expectation to announce Congressman André Figueiredo (PDT-EC) to take over the Ministry of Communications, is a nod to the lottery, misdemeanor games and other militants of the unofficial economy of “gambling”.
Renato Janine Ribeiro left to give vague Mercadante, less evil.The car wash operation complete cynicism of this game, not bad luck, to dismember the complaints process and then sew the quilt as the official interests.You can fool some for some time, but not all for all time.
