En la industria siderúrgica, concretamente en los altos hornos, se produce un material fundido conocido como arrabio a partir de la reducción de mineral de hierro. El arrabio es la materia prima para obtener acero pero, ¿qué sucede cuando el alto horno se encuentra lejos de la acería? Muy sencillo: se embarca el arrabio en un tren y se transporta hacia su destino. Claro que, no se trata de una carga normal. Para transportar arrabio entre los altos hornos y las acerías se emplean vehículos muy especiales que movilizan contenedores con forma de torpedo aislados térmicamente, diseñados para soportar temperaturas extremadamente altas. En el interior de estos contenedores viaja todo un pedazo de infierno fundido hasta llegar a su destino donde, pivotando, se vierte el arrabio para pasar a ser convertido en acero.

It’s the Nibble that doesn’t cease! Even if Futurama did just get canceled (again), you can take comfort in knowing that mash-ups will live on – just like this Nibbler-Galactus one by beware1984. This is one destroyer of worlds I recommend leaving alone.

NuguilerMe pregunto en cuanto tiempo se recupera la inversión
El usuario de Youtube ioduremetallique ha grabado un vídeo que muestra las hazañas de su última aportación a la humanidad: el robot de asedios a máquinas expendedoras. Si queréis ir directos al grano, saltad a 1:19.
El proceso es un poco lento y, bueno, digamos que no es todo lo disimulado que cabría esperar. Llamadme tradicional, pero sigo prefiriendo la metodología clásica de patadas, empujones e insultos; está más depurada y tiene un elemento de show encantador, un cortejo entre el vigor del asaltante y la indiferencia de la máquina. Se masca la tragedia. Es, en cierto modo, más shakespiriano.
Los avances tecnológicos son sin duda imprescindibles, pero en esta ocasión yo me decanto por la labor humana y en materia de asaltos a máquinas expendedoras rompo una lanza por el oficio artesanal. Creo que me estoy haciendo mayor.

SALT LAKE CITY — A Samurai sword-wielding Mormon bishop helped a neighbor woman escape a Tuesday morning attack by a man who had been stalking her.
Kent Hendrix woke up Tuesday to his teenage son pounding on his bedroom door and telling him somebody was being mugged in front of their house. The 47-year-old father of six rushed out the door and grabbed the weapon closest to him — a 29-inch high carbon steel Samurai sword.

The Great Gama: undefeated wrestler, owner of a heroic mustache, and mace trainer.

Looking for a new workout? How about one that was used by Hindu warriors over 2,000 years ago and still used by Pehlwani wrestlers today?
The gada, or heavy mace, was the weapon of choice of Hindu soldiers as well as the Hindu deity Hanuman, an anthropomorphic monkey who can lift mountains with a single hand. According to the book Encyclopedia of Indian Physical Culture, warriors during the Puranic age would engage in mace training early in the morning along with wrestling, archery, and swordsmanship. Besides dueling one another with gadas, warriors would swing heavier versions — usually made with a bamboo stick with a heavy stone at one end — behind their backs in order to strengthen their backs, chests, shoulders, forearms, and fingers. Because of their rigorous physical and tactical training, Hindu warriors were some of the fiercest of the ancient world.
Today, the gada is used primarily by Pehlwani wrestlers in northern India and southern Pakistan. The most famous gada afficionado was the Great Gama (pictured above), the only undefeated Pehlwani wrestler in history. By the looks of it, his mustache also trained with a gada. That thing is a beast!
While the Indian Club enjoyed popular use among Western exercise enthusiasts as early as the 19th century, gada training for some reason didn’t catch on until very recently. Mixed martial artists in the West have taken up heavy mace training as a way to strengthen the muscles involved with throwing opponents to the mat. Functional fitness and natural movement practitioners have also taken to mace training because it provides such an amazing full-body workout.
If you’re ready to harness your inner Hindu warrior, read on. Below, Mr. Know Your Lifts showcases six different exercises that you can perform with a heavy mace.

To make an exercise harder, grip both hands near the end of the handle. To make exercises easier, move at least one hand closer to the weighted end.

The 360 has been used by Hindu warriors and Pehlwani wrestlers for ages. It works the shoulders, chest, back, and forearms. Begin by holding the mace directly in front of you with your hands gripped closely together at the end of the handle. If your left hand is above your right hand, you’re going to push the mace ball over your right shoulder. The mace ball should swing behind your back. When it reaches your left shoulder, pull the mace over your left shoulder so that the mace is once again directly in front of you. Repeat several times. Switch up your hands so that your right hand is above your left, and push the mace ball over your left shoulder. Repeat swinging the mace in this direction several times.
To see this exercise in action, check out this video of Diesel Crew’s Jedd Johnson performing the 360.

The Barbarian Squat is a great full-body exercise. You’re working your upper as well as your lower body in a single movement. Begin in a standing position with the mace behind your neck. Start lowering your body into a squatting position while simultaneously bringing the mace to the front. You’ve successfully completed the exercise if you’re in a full squat and the mace is in front of you. Return to your starting position by standing while simultaneously bringing the mace back to its original position. Repeat.

The Dynamic Curl works the forearms and biceps.
Hold the mace with a mixed grip — one hand overhand and one underhand — with the hand near the mace ball-end holding the handle with an underhand grip. Lift the ball end with the hand closest to the mace ball. When the ball reaches the middle of the arc, switch your hands up by sliding the hand that was near the ball down towards the end of the handle and bringing the hand that was near the handle up closer to the ball end. When you’ve finished, the ball end should be on your other side and your mixed grip should be reversed — the hand that was originally overhand should be underhand; the hand that was originally underhand should now be overhand. Swing the mace back and forth like this for several repetitions.

Hold the mace like you would a spear. Thrust as if you were an ancient Pauravaian warrior stabbing an a member of Alexander the Great’s Macedonian army in the Battle of the Hydaspes River. The closer both hands are to the handle, the more difficult this exercise will be. Switch up your hands and your stance to work the other side of your body.

It’s time to bury all those imaginary Macedonian soldiers you just killed. Hold the mace like you would a shovel and pretend like you’re digging a hole in the ground with the mace ball. Repeat for several repetitions. Switch up your hands to work the other side of your body.

You’ll need a tire for this one. Just pretend like you’re splitting wood like a lumberjack. Start off with your non-dominant hand near the butt of the handle and your dominant hand placed near the mace’s head. Bring the mace head above your head. Swing down. As you swing, slide your dominant hand down the shaft of the mace for extra power. Switch up your hand placement to work the different sides of your body.

“Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru” es un corto tokusatsu dirigido por Shinji Higuchi del Studio Ghibli en el que dioses de la guerra de Nausicaa destruyen Tokio. Interesante ver a Ghibli produciendo algo que no es 100% animación.



Hay una exposición sobre como se hizo este corto en el Museo de arte contemporáneo de Tokio abierta hasta el 23 de Junio. ( Mapa para llegar al museo )

No es de extrañar que tras ver el .gif me haya puesto a pensar en el cascanueces. No la obra de música clásica, sino el otro tipo de cascanueces.
En todo caso, es un fake muy bien montado, o eso parece. La sincronía y precisión son excesivas. Vaya, que ni un ingeniero le atina al momento justo en que va a entrar la víctima, corta el hilo que sostiene la botella a la longitud perfecta para que aterrice en las gónadas y se asegura de salir volando por si el sujeto se recupera y toma venganza por su mallugada hombría.
Caramba, que son demasiadas las cosas que han salido bien aquí como para que el experimento no culmine en sangre.
