Reeling Review #8: See Skanks and Peter de Rome: Grandfather of Gay Porn at Chicago's LGBT Film Festival
Since I assume that many of my readers appreciate both musicals and gay porn, here are two documentaries worth seeing on each topic.
Director David McMahon's Skanks follows a community theatre in Birmingham, Alabama, as they put on a show called Skanks in a One Horse Town, a musical written and directed by a gay man named Billy Ray Brewton. This slice-of-life documentary introduces us to some colorful characters, including gay cast members Chuck Duck (who actually has an uncle named Donald) and Juan Carlos Batlle (whose hilarious "fisting" conversation with his father is worth the price of admission). We also get to know what it's been like for these men to grow up in conservative Birmingham where football and religion reign supreme. As for the musical, it's about three skanks (played by three guys in drag) at Studio 54 in 1978 who get sent back to the Old West of 1878 by a time-traveling disco ball. If that sounds like you're kind of show, then I think you might enjoy spending time with these Skanks.
Another person worth getting to know is erotic filmmaker Peter de Rome, whom director Ethan Reid spent time with in 2012. Mr. de Rome made many gay porn shorts in the 1960s and '70s, including The Fire Island Kids (1970), Hot Pants (1971) and Underground (1972), which features a sexual encounter between a hippie and a young executive that was shot on a NYC subway train at four in the morning. And I was not aware before that actress Greta Garbo's final screen appearance was in de Rome's first full-length film, Adam & Yves (1974), in which he inserted footage of her walking in New York City. Sadly, de Rome passed away in June at age 89, but Reid's interesting documentary gives this groundbreaking "grandfather" the credit that he deserves.
Show time: 1 pm, Saturday, September 20, at the Landmark's Century Centre Cinema (2828 N. Clark)
Running time: 84 minutes

Alex Smith threw for 293 yards Monday, but it was with his legs he really hurt the Redskins.
Smith ran for 56 yards and scrambled out of the pocket in the final minute to find Albert Wilson up the sideline for a 37-yard gain to set up Harrison Butker's 43-yard field goal to lift the Chiefs to a 29-20 victory at Arrowhead Stadium. Butker, a rookie from Georgia Tech signed off the Panthers practice squad earlier in the week, was playing in his first NFL game and came through in the clutch after missing a field goal attempt before halftime.
The Chiefs (4-0) remain the NFL's only undefeated team and have the league's most balanced offense. While Smith was getting it done through the air, rookie running back Kareem Hunt ran for 101 yards on 21 carries.
Carolina's Cam Newton has led 13 game-winning drives over his seven-year career, including last week's 33-30 victory in New England. Newton said his mindset during those drives is simply to "keep the ball moving forward" and "do your damn job."
"You never know what's going to happen until you get a completion," Newton said Wednesday. "That my mentality, just try to throw as many completions as possible, through the game as well. But in that situation, it's no different."
While Caldwell would much rather be leading by three touchdowns heading into the final minutes of a game, he said that's not a realistic expectation – especially against another 3-1 team like the Panthers.

The Times of Israel reports: Ivanka Trump on Thursday assured Jewish voters in Florida that Donald Trump would "100 percent" move the US embassy to Jerusalem if he is elected president.
The GOP nominee's daughter, who converted to Judaism in 2010 and is married to a Jewish man, called her father an "unbelievable champion" for the State of Israel and for the Jewish people, during a talk at The Shul of Bal Harbour in Surfside, the Jewish Insider reported. "You won't be disappointed," she told the audience during the talk, which was filmed in part.
In addition to saying Donald Trump will move the embassy to Jerusalem, which she called "the eternal capital," she also said he supported her conversion to Judaism before her marriage to Jared Kushner.
"I so respect the fact that he supported me from day one," she said. "There was no question, there was no argument. He was very supportive."
Asked how Judaism has inspired her to be what she is today, Ivanka Trump said, "I feel like Judaism helps your moral compass." Judaism "has been a great blessing in my life," she added.
Ivanka Trump and her half-sister Tiffany also made campaign stops in Jupiter and Riviera Beach, according to the Trump campaign.

On the 21st March 1556, Thomas Cranmer was executed for heresy. As a leader of the English Reformation he had not only promoted Protestantism but had also established the first structures of the Church of England. Despite having signed a number of recantations or retractions of his Protestant faith, on the day of his execution he in turn recanted these recantations before being burned at the stake.
Cranmer's early career had seen him present the case for Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon. Although his argument did not result in the Pope agreeing to annul the marriage, Cranmer was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury by the King in March 1533 after which he quickly moved to declare Henry's marriage to Catherine void. Within just a few years he also annulled the King's marriages to Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard and had begun to work with Thomas Cromwell to promote the publication of an English Bible.
Cranmer's actions led to him developing a large and powerful opposition, which only grew under the reign of Edward VI. His support for the Protestant Lady Jane Grey as Edward's successor, rather than his Catholic older sister Mary, ultimately led to him being put on trial for treason in 1553. Cranmer's execution in 1556 for heresy and was intended to act as way to discredit Protestantism. However, his eleventh-hour rejection of his earlier recantations against the Reformist movement meant that his death ultimately undermined the Marian Counter-Reformation.
He died at the stake having placed his right hand, with which he had signed his recantation, into the fire first as a punishment for being "unworthy".

In the "new normal" that is the ultra-competitive Vancouver housing market, buyers expect to be in a bidding war. Inventory is at an all-time low with supply chasing unprecedented demand. Prices continue to climb and competition is fierce.
Buyers are going to extraordinary lengths to get into the market. Here are 4 tips on how to become the most desirable buyer – and create a compelling offer to win a bidding war.
1. Keep it clean
Key to winning a multiple-offer situation is a clean offer. Conditional sales and offers contingent on financing just don't work in this market. That means having your financing in place before you even start looking at properties. Contact your financial institution so you know exactly what you can carry – and how high you can go in the offer. Ask your lender for written confirmation for the amount of the mortgage.
Key takeaway: View multiple properties, understand the market, and come into a multiple-offer situation with your financial ducks in a row.
2. Do your home inspection early
Most REALTORS don't recommend buying a home without an inspection, but making your offer contingent on an inspection can weaken your position. Many buyers are now opting to take their home inspector with them to open houses. Carefully read all disclosures and reports that are available prior to making your offer.
Key takeaway: Put money aside so that you can have your home inspector view the property with you.
3. Be flexible
Find out the seller's conditions and offer to meet them. Winning a multiple offer situation may be as easy as agreeing to the seller's closing dates, buying the property "as is" or even tightening the subject removal dates. This is especially important if the seller has already bought another property and is anxious to move on.
Key takeaway: If you can make things easier for the seller, it can be about more than price.
4. Know when to walk away
Buying a home is a huge commitment. You have to be smart about it. Multiple offer situations are stressful. Know what you would be comfortable with paying each month and stand firm on the top end of your budget. If the seller does not accept your best offer, it's time to move on. There will be another home even if it doesn't feel like it in the moment.
Key takeaway: It is much better to buy the right home at the right price than to make a commitment because something is available.

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool travel to arch rivals Manchester United this weekend knowing that victory will be enough to claim second spot.
Confidence is sky high in the visiting camp after booking their place in the Champions League quarter-finals earlier this week and bettors will fancy Klopp's men at 7/4.
For United, a win will cement their status as the second-best team in England. The Red Devils, priced at 13/8 to prevail, have an excellent home record and Jose Mourinho's men will be quietly confident of securing three points.
For me though, the draw (5/2) is the one to be on – the selection has landed in each of the last four matches between the two sides.
Old Trafford IS A Fortress
The atmosphere may be lacking at times but United's performances on the field are not. Since losing to Southampton in January 2016, the Red Devils have lost just two games – both to Manchester City.
That's a grand total of 62 home games without defeat; United have won 44 of those encounters. 13/8 is an excellent price considering that record.
Romelu Lukaku has scored in four successive home fixtures and the Belgian will be keen to extend that run this weekend.
With 14 goals in 28 matches for the Red Devils, Lukaku has settled quickly at Old Trafford and he is central to their chances of victory. Currently valued at 5/1 to open the scoring, the United striker is well worth backing.
In the hunt for value, I stumbled upon Ashley Young at 11/5 to be carded. Taking Liverpool's potent attack into account, this has a solid chance.
Young will need to keep tabs on the likes of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah for 90 minutes and United's makeshift left back may struggle. Back Young to receive a card – if he starts…
Liverpool Juggernaut Will Take Some Stopping
Firmino, Mane and Salah have been simply sublime in 2017/18 – the Reds trio have scored 68 of Liverpool's 105 goals so far this season.
Defensively, United are far from assured and Klopp's side can exploit their weaknesses. The visitors are currently valued at 13/10 to score over 1.5 goals on Saturday afternoon...
Salah is a leading contender for the PFA Player of the Year award and the Liverpool forward will be quietly confident of adding to his tally for the campaign.
The Egypt star has scored 32 goals this season – an incredible achievement. Already a firm favourite with the fans, Salah's price of 37/20 to score in 90 minutes should be snapped up.
Emre Can is the pick of Liverpool's players to receive a card – 6/4 is a short price but the Germany international will be tasked with slowing the United attack down.
If that means breaking up play and taking a yellow card for a professional foul, so be it. Jordan Henderson is another worth considering at a slightly longer 5/2.
Surely this one can't be as dull as October's fixture at Anfield? Both teams are capable of causing problems in attack and this could be an entertaining affair.
Liverpool will come out of the blocks quickly whilst United will try and combat that attacking threat. An early goal for either side could see this one blossom into a memorable encounter. A score draw looks likely…
MANCHESTER UNITED 1-1 LIVERPOOL (Priced at 27/5 with 888sport)

You, yes you Miami-Dade and City of Miami tax payer, paid for the majority of the cost for the Marlins' under construction stadium. So perhaps you'd like to check in on how the thing is coming along. Surprisingly the project seems to be coming along on schedule, and while we're still not sure whether or not it was needed, we can say at least it looks pretty.
Construction began in July of 2009 and is expected to be completed by April of 2012. With a little more than a year and two months to go until that deadline these picturesreleased by the team
give us a pretty good idea of what the final product will actually look like. They've even started work on that retractable roof.

I don't know if I ever mentioned this but the man I work for and who owns the company was the 1968 Peach Bowl MVP. He was the quarterback for LSU.
This may not mean a whole hell of a lot for most of you BUT it represents to me FREE tickets this weekend to see the LSU Tigers in Tiger Stadium. In all of my years I have never been and I am looking forward to it like nothing I have looked forward to in a while.
I plan on putting new meaning to the word tailgating. I may not remember the meaning but I'm sure someone there will tell me if I happen not to be coherent enough to remember on my own.

Ed Willes: Kendall Waston prepared to make Whitecaps' history in Portland
Kendall Waston has spent the prime years of his professional career with the Vancouver Whitecaps and this is what he has to show for the last four seasons: some good friends, some nice memories, an All-Star berth, but not one win in an MLS playoff game.
Waston, like all the Whitecaps, knows this year could be different, knows they have the team, the players and the opportunity to change their history. For a franchise which has lacked a defining moment, he knows what this year means and, as the Whitecaps prepared for Sunday's showdown in Portland, he spoke about this game.
"I think sometimes in life you only have one or two chances like this and you have to take it," said the defender. "This is one of those chances. We've worked hard all season to stay in first place. Now that we have it, we want to keep it."
Funny, English isn't the big man's first language but, on this matter, there was no confusing his message.
The Whitecaps flew to the Rose City today and the table stakes for the biggest regular-season match in club history are as clear as Waston's word. A win or a tie against the Timbers gives the Whitecaps first place in the Western Conference and a bye into the second round of the playoffs.
That, at least, is the bottom line and its import speaks for itself. But, more importantly, a result against the Timbers would go a long ways towards legitimizing Carl Robinson's program, to announcing the Whitecaps as an elite MLS team and not the little brother in the Portland-Seattle-Vancouver relationship. This is the best team in the Whitecaps' MLS history. It is the deepest, most talented collection of players and all are in form. The Whitecaps have never had an attacking partnership like they have in Fredy Montero and Yordy Reyna. They've never had the depth at midfield they have now. With Waston and Tim Parker, they have the best central defence in club history.
For almost four months they've also been the best team in West. Now they have to finish the job and they were saying all the right things before flying to Portland.
"We won't (play for a draw against the Timbers) and the reason why is if you do, you lose," said Robinson, the team's architect, its brains and its beating heart. "We're going there to try to win the game. I want a performance. I want the guys to show me how important it is to play on this club with first place on the line."
"Listen," said goalie David Ousted. "If you would have told us at the start of the season we can win the Western Conference on the last day of the season, I think everyone would have been happy with the scenario."
Ousted, as it happens, is front and centre in the main drama around the team. An All-Star keeper and one of the Whitecaps' foundational players, the Dane has been pushed for playing time by New Zealander Stefan Marinovic.
Marinovic is younger and cheaper than Ousted. He also got the start in last weekend's crucial match with San Jose, a 1-1 draw when a win would have clinched the West.
Reading the tea leaves, it appears Marinovic will get the net in Portland. You can guess how Ousted would feel about this development but, like all the Whitecaps, he's been a pro about his place on the team.
"I think I've performed and prepared myself the same way all year," Ousted said. "Obviously I would love to win something here. In the four and a half years I've been here we've never been in this position. I'd love to be in there to make a difference."
Said Robinson: "I don't look at it as different from any other position. You're trying to get better in each area. Stefan has come in and been brilliant. David's been good for us as well and brilliant at times. I play the players I think are in form."
But whoever gets the nod in Portland will be trying to reverse a bitter history for the Whitecaps at Providence Park. In their seven MLS seasons, the Whitecaps are a dismal 1-5-4 in Portland in the regular season. In 2015, they did earn a 0-0 draw in their one playoff game at Providence. But in the second leg of their second-round playoff series they were bounced by the Timbers 2-0.
It's the only time in the club's MLS history they've been beyond the first round of the playoffs.
Did we mention there's a fair bit riding on Sunday's game?
"It's the best squad I've had," Robinson said, before adding. "In a game like this, it's down to the big players. They have a couple of key players. We have a couple of key players. I'm hoping my guys step up."
And don't trip over this opportunity.
Vancouver Whitecaps at Portland Timbers
1 p.m., Providence Park, TSN1, TSN 1410
Regardless of what happens Sunday in Portland, the Whitecaps are guaranteed a home playoff game. The question is when — first round or second? Here's the playoff schedule and format:
KNOCKOUT ROUND (Oct. 25-26)
No. 6 seed at No. 3 seed.
No. 5 seed at No. 4 seed.
CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS (Oct. 9/31 and Nov. 5)

ESTES PARK, Colo. -- The brothers, all in their 30s and 40s, nabbed the oldest one just outside his lodge room, smearing shaving cream all over him, themselves and anyone else who got in the way, just as they had as boys.
That's one family tradition that surely will endure, I thought, as a glob of shaving cream hit me smack on the neck.
The six siblings in my husband's family, their parents, spouses and children -- 23 of us in all -- were gathered at the YMCA of the Rockies' Estes Park Center, just outside Rocky Mountain

Hello my lovelies. I hope you've all enjoyed a super weekend. I'm sure quite a lot of you have suffered power failures and various other things due to the weather. The wind has taken hold here in the UK and caused a whole load of problems. You can rest assured that this very happy longarm quilter has had no power failures so far. However I have felt the effects of the very blustery wind. I think gale force wind at night is very scary so sleeping doesn't come easy. Let's hope we get better weather this week.
I was really hoping for a quiet weekend. I wanted to stay home and mess around. And that's exactly what I did. Yesterday I did a few chores but for the most part I spent time in my sewing room working on this …..
Somehow I managed to finish the last blocks this morning. I spent most of today joining the blocks together and adding a small border. I loaded the Chisel Star quilt into my longarm quilting system ready for machine quilting. This quilt is destined for my favourite charity which is Quilts for Comfort. I'm hoping to get the quilting started and perhaps even finished tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I look forward to adding this one to my Finish it Up 2015 list.
This evening I want to show you something my friend Susan in Australia is working on. This is something Susan unearthed from storage which, in the spirit of Let's Finish it Up 2015, she plans on progressing with. This project is foundation pieced which by all accounts will make this project very square and accurate giving it a fantastic finish. I look forward to seeing more progress on this project. Thank you for sharing Susan.
After spending most of the day working on that Chisel Star quilt I still had a little time left over before having to make supper. So I went on to do a little more work on some pineapple log cabin blocks. I have a total of 21 blocks to make for this project and so far I have made 10. Little by little I'm getting there. This is a kit and when it's finished it will be a satchel bag. I hope to bring you more progress soon.
So that was my weekend. After hanging around the house all weekend I think I'm quite looking forward to stepping out to have my hair cut in the morning. I should come out of the hair salon a new woman. And hopefully then the fun will start with my longarm quilting system. I don't really want to but I guess it's time to start hanging out in my sewing room longarm quilting a few days a week.
So for this evening, this very happy longarm quilter will be hand piecing some nine patch blocks. I hope you have a super cosy evening doing something relaxing in readiness for a busy week ahead. Until you read me again,
Happy stitching. ♥ ♥

Picton Street is not short of outstanding independent businesses. Tucked behind it's noisier neighbours on Stokes Croft road, this picturesque Montpelier side street is home to everything from an organic farm shop to a yoga studio and multiple coffee possibilities. Back in 2011 it was named the best street in Bristol and since then the offerings of this 'unassuming side street' have continued to impress and expand.
One of the most popular Picton Street destinations is The Bristolian. Their brunches are known as legendary throughout the city, and I can testify to their quality. Far less greasy than regular fry ups, their brunches are hearty and filling with generous portion sizes.
The veggie breakfasts come complete with fried potato and halloumi, and are the perfect way to perk up any morning-after-the-night-before. The fusion breakfast is equally tasty; with fried chorizo, tomato salsa, mint yoghurt sauce, garlic mushrooms, fried potatoes and flat bread.
'It was flipping good,' says my brunch companion Laura "Bloz" Burke.

How is everyone?? Good I hope! Things have been a little crazy around here... I am in the middle of a 20 day work stretch so there hasn't been a lot of time for blogging. Sorry! So for that reason you are getting another Weekly Recipe Wrap Up. I do have some recipes ready to post so hopefully I can get that done soon...ish.
So I hate the rain. It doesn't rain very often here in Calgary but for some reason this spring it looks a lot like Vancouver here. It's wet. I don't like it. At. All. Those of you from Vancouver know what I mean.
Ok I know you don't come here to here me complain about the weather... so I will move right on to the recipes I collected this week. I can't wait to try some of these!
1. Lemon Pound Cake with Honey Glaze from Civilized Caveman
I really like lemony desserts. It's a fact. This cake just looks delicious to me! It almost looks too pretty to eat (I said almost). It comes from one very popular paleo blog, The Civilized Caveman. If you make this one let me know how it turns out!
2. Tex Mex Braised Lamb Ribs from Slim Palate
Healthy Fruit Snacks from ThankYourBody
I think these are a great idea! Traditional fruit snacks are loaded with ingredients that you can't pronounce and therefore don't belong in your body! These are actually really simple to make. I am planning on making a variation that uses coconut water, honey and lemon to use instead of running gels (I will let you know how that goes).
Poached Salmon with Coconut Cream Reduction from the Urban Poser (on the US Wellness Meats Blog)
This last recipe comes from one of my favorite blogs. The Urban Poser. This girl is a genius in the kitchen, and with her camera! Such pretty food pictures. Anyone that knows me knows that I love salmon. A lot. I will be trying this recipe in the near future for sure!
Ok everyone that is all for now. It's back to the hospital for me (and out into the rain). Boo.
I hope that everyone else is having a good weekend!
And a special shout out to my friend Jes who celebrated her birthday this weekend!

Copper Poduction
Written on December 19, 2016 By admin in Uncategorized
This report will explain how the metal element copper is separated and refined from its ore and also discuss technological advances in chemistry, as well as the economical efficiency and consequences of the production of copper.
Copper is found naturally in rocks in the crust of the Earth. The crust contains rocks, which are mixtures of solidified mineral crystals and grains. In these minerals are materials with specific chemical compositions and unique physical properties. If a rock has enough of a metal in it to be economically viable to extract then it is called an ore. Here is a table containing the main copper ores:
Mineral name | Formula | Appearance |
Cupritecopper oxide | Cu2O | Red, earthy |
ChalcociteCopper(I)sulphide | Cu2S | Dark grey, metallic |
BorniteCopper iron sulphide | Cu5FeS4 | Golden brown, metallic |
MalachiteCopper carbonate hydroxide | CuCO3Cu(OH)4 | Bright green, earthy |
AzuriteCopper carbonate hydroxide | 2CuCO3Cu(OH)4 | Blue, glassy |
ChalcopyriteCopper iron sulphide | CuFeS2 | Golden yellow, metallic |
As you can see, all of the ores contain the element copper (Cu) and these atoms are bonded with other elements and/or compounds such as oxygen (O), sulphur (S), Iron (Fe), carbonate (CO3) and hydroxide (OH) to form a crystalline solid. These compounds containing copper are found in ores which also contain impurities like sand (SiO2) and other useless rocks such as halite (NaCl).
In Queenstown, Tasmania, a mine in Mount Lyell extracts copper. The main form of copper found at this mine is chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). This tetragonal crystal is made of copper (I), iron (II) and sulphur.
Below is a list of the properties of chalcopyrite and the elements in it.
Properties of chalcopyrite:
Lustre: | Metallic |
Transparency: | Opaque |
Colour: | Brass yellow, often with an shining tarnish. |
Streak colour: | Greenish black |
Tenacity: | Brittle |
shape: | Irregular/Uneven |
Density | 4.1 – 4.3 g/cm3 |
Structure: | Tetragonal crystal system |
Additional properties: | Tend to cling to bubbles in water due to hydrophobia |Elements in chalcopyrite:
* Lustrous (shiny)
* Hard
* High density
* High tensile strength
* High melting and boiling points
* Good conductors of heat and electricity
* Malleable
* Electron configuration in chalcopyrite has one electron in the outer shell so it has 1+ chargeSulphur
* Dull yellow colour
* Soft
* Low density
* Low melting and boiling point
* Bad conductor of electricity
* Brittle
* Electron configuration of 2,8,6 so has a 2- charge
* Low densityIron
* Lustrous (shiny)
* Hard
* High density
* High tensile strength
* High melting and boiling points
* Good conductors of heat and electricity
* Malleable
* Electron configuration has two electrons in the outer shell in chalcopyrite. Has a 2+ charge
Separation processCrushing and grinding
Firstly the rock in the mine must be broken. A churn drill is the first step in this process which bores down into the rock with a hard steel bit. The churn drill holes are loaded with explosives which blow the rock into pieces. The ore is then transported to the crushing plant. In here, the rocks are crushed into particles of less than 10mm in diameter. This assists in the separating of the copper minerals as they are found as fine grains in the ore. After being passed through the several crushing plants, the copper ore emerges as a fine powder.Concentration
Now that we have obtained a fine powder of chalcopyrite and other useless rock material, it is time to separate the useful compound from the gangue or waste rock. This is done using a method called froth flotation. This is a method used to separate sulphide minerals from gangue due to sulphides hydrophobic properties. Copper iron sulphide is hydrophobic as both its sides are positive since they are copper and iron. Since water has a positive side and a negative side (hydrogen??™s are on one side and oxygen on other) the chalcopyrite repels the water.
Non-polar molecule Polar molecule
– +
+ + –
+ + –
+ + –
+ – + +Positive charges repel each other, making chalcopyrite hydrophobic.(Number of positive/negative
charges aren??™t to scale)
This means that minerals with positive charges around them like sulphide are repelled from water, and since the air bubbles do not have any water in them they attach to them. The frothing agent used may also contain oils as the hydrophobic sulphide minerals are also attracted to them. Since oils and air (mainly nitrogen and oxygen) are less dense than water, the bubbles and sulphur minerals floats.
After the copper mineral has floated to the top of the mixture, it is skimmed off and gets dried which removes the water and frothing chemicals. Now we have obtained copper concentrate. This means that the copper mineral is concentrated (about 20%) as we have removed the gangue and unwanted rock.
The gangue which settles at the bottom of the cell is taken out of the cell from an outlet tap. These waste rocks are then used to refill used mines or stored in a tailings damn. The water used in this process is re-used as much as possible to increase economical efficiency and reduce water consumption.Extraction
Subsequently, the copper is extracted from the compound it is found in. This is the compound we have just concentrated: CuFeS2 (Chalcopyrite). This is done by the process of smelting. Smelting is a chemical process used to isolate an? element? from its ore using? heat? and a reduction agent. In the smelting of copper iron sulphide, sand (SiO2) is used as a reduction agent and coal is added for heat. These are all mixed in a furnace and heated to very high temperatures with the presence of oxygen. This separates the iron from the chalcopyrite. In the smelter, iron oxide formed from the combustion of copper iron sulphide reacts with the silicon dioxide. This leaves only three products in the smelter: copper (I) sulphide, iron silicon trioxide and sulphur dioxide (escapes from the top as a gas).
Below are the chemicals equations for this process.
2CuFeS2(s) + 4O2(g) Cu2S(l) + 2FeO(s) + 3SO2(g)
Copper iron sulphide + oxygen copper sulphide + iron oxide + sulphur dioxide
FeO + SiO2 FeSiO3
Iron oxide + silicon dioxide iron silicon trioxide
As we can see, the copper(I) ion forms an ionic bond with the sulphur to make Cu2S . This is because copper(I) has a charge of +1 since it has one electron in its outer shell. Although the sulphur has six electrons in its outer shell so it needs two more electrons to have a full, stable outer shell. It achieves this by bonding with two copper(I) ions. The iron (II) ions have two electrons in their outer shell so they have a 2+ charge as they must get rid of two electrons to become stable. Since the oxygen has an electron configuration of 2, 6 it needs two more electrons to be stable. It takes the two electrons from the iron and they bond ionically due to the electrostatic forces of attraction between opposite ions. Another sulphur atom from the chalcopyrite reacts with oxygen making a covalent bond which forms 3SO2. This is done as the oxygen and sulphur both share two electrons (since both need two more electrons) giving them a stable outer shell.
The iron oxide compound produced reacts with silicon dioxide to make iron silicon trioxide. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell and silicon has 4. They bond covalently like this:
This leaves this anion with a -2 charge. However iron (II) has a 2+ charge so it ionically bonds with them (due to electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions) to form iron silicon trioxide.
The copper sulphide formed is then taken to the converter furnace where it is heated with oxygen to extract copper from copper sulphide. Sand is added in the converter to remove any leftover iron oxide.
Cu2S(s) + O2(g) 2Cu(l) + SO2(g)
Copper(I) sulphide + oxygen copper + sulphur dioxide
FeO(s) + SiO2(s) FeSiO3
Iron oxide + silicon dioxide iron silicon trioxide
Overall the reaction is:
2CuFeS2(s) + 5O2(g) 2Cu(l) + 2FeO(s) + 4SO2(g)
When copper(I) sulphide reacts with oxygen, sulphur and oxygen both share one electron with each other and the oxygen atoms share one electron with each other to form a stable covalent compound of sulphur dioxide. The copper atoms left form a metallic bond with each other which consists of many positive nucleuses of copper atoms with a delocalised sea of electrons surrounding them, which are free to move around.
The molten slag (FeSiO3, gangue, fluxes and some copper) falls on top of the molten copper (since it is less dense than copper). This slag is then tapped off the top and undergoes the process of grinding and froth flotation again to extract more copper.
Sulphur dioxide gas escapes the top of the smelter and is used to make sulphuric acid. This is done by reacting it with oxygen to obtain sulphur trioxide then it is dissolved in water to make sulphuric acid.
2SO2(g) +O2(g) 2SO3(g)
SO3(g) + H2O(l) H2SO4(aq)
In this reaction, the covalent compound sulphur trioxide is covalently bonded by sharing two electrons with one oxygen atom and one oxygen atom sharing two electrons with the sulphur atom. The sulphur atom then shares two of its remaining for electrons with each oxygen atom.
(Sulphur trioxide)
Sulphur trioxide then reacts with oxygen ions in water to form sulphate ion with a -2 charge as sulphur tetraoxide has two more electrons than protons. This anion is attracted to the two hydrogen atoms which have a charge of 1+ each due to the electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions. They then form an ionic bond of H2SO4.
As copper is denser than the slag it sinks to the bottom of the mixture in the furnace, from where it is tapped off. The separation process gives copper which is 98% pure although other impurities such as sulphur, gold and silver are left in the copper. This copper is called blister copper as bubbles of SO2 escaping from the copper look like blisters.
However even though we have separated the copper, we must purify it to make it suitable for uses such as electrical wiring. This is done by electrolysis. The impure copper (from separation) is used as the anode, and the cathode is made of a steel slab covered in pure copper. Numerous anodes and cathodes are placed alternatively in a tank which contains an electrolyte. When electricity is run through this electrolyte, the impure copper metal becomes copper ions, which are attracted to the negative cathode. As they deposit, pure copper builds on the cathode while impurities such as silver and gold fall to the bottom.
Impact of technological advances on the understanding of chemistry
Through the many thousands of years man has always been discovering new metals, new ways to extract them and new uses for them. The discovery of these metals has greatly influenced our understanding of chemistry.
The first type of material used by man was simply stones. These would serve for purposes such as weapons and tools. This era in time was called the ???stone age???. This simply taught man that different objects have different properties for example stone is harder than wood.
Many years later man began finding metal nuggets on the ground. These metals were copper, gold and silver due to their un-reactive properties. These metals were simply hammered into shape to serve whatever purpose they needed to. Man learnt that metals could be hammered into shape.
Around 6000 B.C copper was extracted by its ore which lead to the copper age. Copper ore and charcoal heated together produced a high-carbon, low-oxygen atmosphere which smelted the ore. This taught man that you could extract a metal from its ore by smelting it (heating with carbon). Copper was less brittle than stone and was malleable. It could also be hammered to be made harder. This served as a material for weapons such as swords and tools such as pots.
3000 years later, copper and tin had been alloyed together introducing the Bronze Age. Bronze was harder and had a lower melting point so it was a lot more useful than copper which allowed it to be shaped easier. Through the mixing of these two metals, man had learnt how the properties of a material change by adding different chemicals. When two different elements are added together, they become harder as the atoms cannot slide over each other. Furthermore alloying metals disrupts their sea of electrons which holds them together, this then lowers their melting points.
The discovery of more metals such as lead and zinc, helped broaden our knowledge on metals as we learnt about their individual properties and what they could be used for. Since lead was un-reactive in was used in plumbing and zinc was used by alloying with copper to make brass, a mixture harder than copper. By discovering more metals, man learnt about the properties of metals and that every metal has unique properties which are useful for different purposes.
New techniques to extract metals were used which lead to the discovery of more metal elements. Iron was discovered by using a furnace with charcoal and an oxygen supply which allowed higher temperatures to be reached. Once again, man discovered another element with unique properties. Steel was also discovered by heating iron with carbon and quenching it with water. Steel was a lot harder than iron and less brittle. These technological advancements showed man that to extract different metals, different temperatures are required. Additionally man learnt that the method in which an alloy is made affects its properties.
Although man discovered many new metals and made use of them, some issues had been raised. Firstly, extraction of metals creates a lot of pollution as carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide are released during smelting and by machinery used in the extraction process. This has damaged our environment. Some of the Earth??™s resources have been nearly depleted due to our extensive use of metals. This increases prices and may result in a deficiency of metals for future generations. Since metals are less concentrated in the Earth, this makes it harder to extract metal, which means more money and time is required. Lastly lots of money and time has been put into the advancement of our understanding in chemistry. This could have been put in other areas such as medicines which may have lead to more advantages for society.
All the technological advancements such as the discovery of smelting have allowed us to obtain an extensive knowledge on metals and their purposes. Without this vital knowledge, humanity would never have developed to the stage it is at now. Even though metals may have costed a lot of money and depleted the Earth??™s resources, they definitely contribute to a huge role in the evolution of humanity.
Economical efficiency
Difficulty and cost of extraction
Since copper is not very reactive, it is less energy consuming to extract it from its ore as the energy required to break weak bonds between atoms is less than stronger bonds. This means copper can be extracted at relatively low temperatures so copper is easy and cheap to extract.
Abundance of ores and the concentration of metals in the ores
Copper is a very scarce element, only making up 0.07% of the crust. Unfortunately Mt Lyell has one of the lowest percentages of copper in its crust ??" only about 0.4%. This means that a lot of energy and therefore money must be put in to extract the copper as a lot of the ore is gone to waste. This increases prices of copper.
Location of ores and cost of transport
In Mt Lyell, the mine is very close to the extraction plant which lowers costs of transport as less fuel is required. However the fact that Tasmania is an island means that it must export its ores to other countries. The price of this shipping greatly reduces economical efficiency. Additionally there is a delay in time for the copper to arrive to other countries.
The recycling of copper greatly reduces the energy used. Only 6% of the energy required to obtain copper form its ore is needed to recycle it. Since copper is relatively un-reactive, the recycling process is also made a lot easier and it doesn??™t corrode which means more of the copper can be extracted from recycling. Currently not much copper is recycled, although as people are beginning to realise the advantages of recycling, more recycling plants are being made.
Overall the process of extraction of copper from Mt Lyell is not efficient as the ore is very scarce at that location, the costs of exporting ores is very high and not much copper ore is being currently recycled. However cheaper and easier techniques such as bioleaching and phytomining are beginning to be used which are more efficient. New fuels may be used in the future which will reduce costs of transport. New areas rich in copper may also be utilised and recycling is currently increasing, making the best of the Earth??™s resources.
Consequences of copper mining on the environment
The mining of copper used to leave huge scars on the face of the Earth. Huge piles of waste rock were also dumped near the quarry. These scars and wastes were eyesore and ruined the areas view. Waste rocks dumped next to rivers and lakes also used to intoxicate the water as heavy metals leached into it. Now mines are filled up with any waste rock after they are used and vegetation is replanted to encourage wildlife.
Sulphur dioxide released severely damages the environment as it reacts with water in rain to form acid rain. This kills plants and ruins the soils PH levels leaving the affected area barren. Acid rain also damages buildings made of limestone as it corrodes it. If the sulphur dioxide dissolves in rivers, fish and aquatic life may be killed. Sulphur dioxide emissions are reduced by passing SO2 through scrubbers which dissolve the sulphur dioxide in water. This then produces sulphuric acid, stoping SO from escaping into the atmosphere.
Huge amounts of water are used in the extraction of copper during operations such as froth flotation and washing. Water may also get contaminated which kills wildlife and poisons water. To reduce these consequences, as much water as possible is recycled and water which is contaminated is kept in retention ponds.

Have a Kit Kat
|I suggest next time when y'all take another break eat a Kit Kat
Hello folks I am back Happy new year and first off let me start off and say R.I.P to James Avery aka Uncle Phil from the fresh prince of bel-air. Rest well Uncle Phil....
On to the next well I am not the one to gossip but here I go, this is old news by now but I had to speak on it for this blog. Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat and rapper Chris "Ludacris" Bridges both have fathered children outside of their current relationships. Dwayne is currently engaged to actress Gabrielle Union and Ludacris is in a relationship with long time girlfriend Eudoxie.
Now both of these fellas claim they were on breaks in their relationships when the children were conceived. Now I don't know neither one of these guys or their ladies personally. They are grown folks living their lives. However they are public figures; Its is now 2014 it time for folks to keep it real and say what it really is.
Relationships can be tough I get that and sometimes people need a cooling off period and during that cooling off one might start to see another person okay we get that. But if your on a break from your significant other and you tend to date or sleep with another individual next time use protection.
Damn is it that hard guys? I mean really a break and than they go off and make babies than comeback like its all good, that what sucks about dating in the 21st its a never ending cycles of drama. Like I said I am not in these folks household, who knows what the ladies are going through when they are not in the spotlight.
I see a trend happening and the trend is probably going produce the memes and hash tags called "Break Babies" and now excuses will be made for how and why the next generation of children were conceived, I guess we are now entering the break baby generation.
Next time you fellas or any one decides to take a break go eat a snickers or have kit kat and sit your ass down some where.

I've been intrigued by the afterlife for many years – even reading memoirs and watching youtube videos about near death experiences and discovering that many accounts describe the afterlife just as the Bible does. As much as I can imagine what heaven might be like, I know I am far from any real understanding. All I can do is continue to live my life with a goal of spending forever with God in heaven. The following parable is an excellent explanation of my faith in God. It's not so much about trying to figure it out ahead of time, but about believing.

I looked at Illinois Tool Works only once in last January. I found company quite interesting, but finally I didn't buy: I like ITW business for diversity and strong cash generation. I think currently it might be a good time to buy shares but I will patiently wait, maybe special occasion will come sooner… or later. Well I was waiting for better occasion and since that time shares are up around 40%. It happens with my opportunistic approach. Anyway awesome performance of shares, so let's look closer on current business developments. To read more about principles of business click here.
First of all guidance was raised, which is a good sign:
We should also note that operating margin is extremely high, which is mainly due to enterprise initiatives. Price/cost/volume/other generally brought neutral impact on margin. That's good, because it means that change in margin should be sustainable.
We can note in investor's day presentation that although business improved there is still much space to grow: We have significant opportunity for further improvement before ITW is operating at its FULL POTENTIAL. So far I see no reason to don't believe in this statement.
This is how company wants to grow in long term:
YTD shares are up by around 40%, which means that most of this growth is in prices. Another opportunity is that due to heavy buybacks shares are "artificially" going up.
As it comes to financials (estimates):
Market cap ~ $44B
Net debt ~$5B
Dividend yield 2%, low but CAGR is quite high, last year dividend was increased by 18%. Additionally normal buyback $1b, so another 2.5% return (together 4.5%) and also extraordinary buyback… so much cash to shareholders, why I didn't buy it in January although it was expected??
Estimated valuation ratios:
2017 should be another very good year:
Summing up, well I read my January's note again and I have no idea why I didn't buy ITW then… when something looks good and reasonably valued I should simply buy it. On the other hand it was time when I was buying ADM, which is also performing quite well. At current prices valuation is reasonable, I see no special occasion, but if I were to take a bet I would say that within one year shares will be traded higher than today.
Disclaimer ITW – no position

Just over a year ago, having just learned I was pregnant and with a one year old, I thought that preparing for a move to the other side of the world, kids and husband in tow, would be a breeze. With starry eyes, I accepted my first posting. I thought of the exciting work I would do, the spicy and delicious food I would eat, the sights I would see, the opportunities for my career and my family. An eternal optimist, I imagined myself with my baby and perfectly behaved toddler, setting off on this globe-living adventure with the ease of an evening trip to the grocery store (ok – maybe I'm exaggerating. I'm not that naive, and my toddler is far from perfectly behaved). I didn't completely think about what moving to the other side of the world really meant.
My baby girl Freya will be 6 months old this week and my son Max 27 months. The world as they know it is about to be turned utterly and completely upside down.
The last few months have been a whirlwind of emotions and chaos, to-do lists and nagging. My son has pointed at the empty walls and insisted that they are "broken" and we should "fix it". In the last month alone we've spent over 40 hours in the car over short weekends trying to say our good-byes to family and friends who although have every intention of visiting, might not. Today, I wiped away tears as I thanked our babysitter who has been like family to our son. I'm scared of the day when he realizes that his little world has completely changed and he won't be going to play with her and his gang of toddlers.
I've insisted that Skype is a great replacement for face to face visits. It isn't, and I know it. They do to.
Max has been sick twice from the heat in the last few months and we are moving to a place where temperatures often reach the high 40s. He has a nagging cough that I worry might only get worse with the pollution. As a mom, I have questioned whether my decision to pack up the family and move around the world will cause harm. I have felt incredible guilt for the pain I am causing family by taking their loved ones so far away.
For awhile we did not know whether my husband would be working and whether we would face the reality of most families in this career as a one income family. We have been incredibly fortunate that he has gotten a job. Renting our house has not been as easy as we had thought. Trying to keep it spic and span while an endless stream of potential renters come and go has been a challenge in itself.
But, when I tell my son that we will be taking a plane tomorrow, his eyes light up and a smile spreads across his face. I know that we have raised him so far to be an adaptable and flexible. I know that India is going to be full of wonderful opportunities and within hours of landing he will be running about, jet-lagged and dopey, but building new friendships and pointing out all the new wonderful sights and sounds.
My daughter has been my side kick. Attending meetings and language training with me. An easy-going little girl smiling and charming everyone she meets.
I know that my husband will settle into his job and that it might just be the perfect thing.
I know that I will hit the ground running and not look back.
I know that our time away will fly by, and although we'll miss our friends and family in Canada we'll have memories and stories to tell that will last a lifetime.
I know that I am incredibly fortunate to have so many wonderful friends, family and colleagues who have supported us and helped us in the past few months, and whether we are next door, or a world away they will always be there.
I know that those friends and family will forgive me for being stressed and scatter-brained.
I know that when this assignment comes to an end, I'll be anxiously dreaming of the next one.
I know that I am incredibly fortunate to have a job that gives me such amazing opportunities and allows me to do something I love.
I know that people will come visit and they will learn and experience something they might have never thought possible.
I know that this experience will bring us closer together as a family, and we will be stronger for it.
But for now, I know I need a good night sleep. Tomorrow is a big day, and we have a very long way to go.

I don't know what is going on with me lately but I have been in this stuper lately, I have been on this emotional rollarcoaster lately. I have moments when I am okay with this iliostomy and days I just can't cope. I know I am realativley new to this and for the past few days I have been doing nothing but crying, I look in the the mirror and I just don't see how anyone could love me, except my family, I feel like a freak. I know I should be thankful I am alive which I am but how do I get beyond this point? I know there are alot of people out there that are married with this and some that are in relationships that are secure but I'm not there. I'm afraid of what a person really thinks. Is it just me or what? Does it get better, god I am 42, and I think other than what I have, I am pretty, not to sound concieded because I am far from that. Its just what everyone tells me. I am so afraid of being hurt., because I am feeling hurt inside, if that makes any sense to anyone? this is just so confusing to me all these mixed feelings and all. I just can't wait till I see the clearing through the forest, and get beyond this point . Maybe I need to go out more, Live and Laugh Bluz

Hi Bluz.
Ive sort of being going through the same recently. Thought I had come to terms with my ostomy, until a week ago I went very down and depressed about
it all. Even had issues with the crohn's which was dx in 1994. Ive always taken things in my stride and just got on with it, but my head was pretty screwed up about
it all...maybe its because im getting older and thinking about
the missed opportunities .
Anyway im ok now and its passed, just a temporary blip.
Hope things get better for you and hopefullyit will pass.
All the best Diane xxxxxx

Oh how I have been where you are. I honestly went through the same type of emotions. Everyday (before my ostomy) I would go to the gym with my tight pants and sportsbra showing off my flat tummy. My stomach WAS one of my best features and now I have this bag, stoma, and wafer staring at me everyday. Now my abs are frumpy and poochy because of the surgery. I just turned 33 and feel very frustrated somedays.
I try not to think about
my old life anymore and focus on my new life. I focus on my health! I was dying! I was in the hospital and living on jello and IV fluids. I was unable to walk because I was so weak. I felt dizzy and faint all the time. I had not eaten a whole meal with my family in nearly a decade.
I have a church hymn that I sing a lot. This song truly gets me through the day!
Sorry Amey, hate to be a party pooper (or is that a bag pooper?) but forum rules state that copyrighted material isn't allowed so I've had to delete the words of the song (I made the link clickable for you though so people can still go and read the song words if they want to) ... Shaz

Oh my, I've been there, too. And I know I will go there again! In fact, I've posted here what you just posted. We all share an experience not many have to go through. What has helped me was accepting that losing my colon caused me to go through the same stages of loss and grief that people go through when they lose limbs, or even when they lose a loved one. Also, being here, in these forums, and understanding I am NOT alone. I am 31, and married, and I drive my husband bonkers, because I'm always asking him stuff like, "How can you still love me?". This may be TMI, but after my surgery I refused to be intimate for awhile, I wanted to, but it was just too difficult, and I felt so disfigured. I cried the first time I tried. My husband was so supportive and caring. Those that love you, will continue to love you. You are still beautiful to them. You will still find new people who will love you and find you beautiful. Stoma or not. And those that don't - well - they aren't worth your time.

I'm feeling much of what you're feeling right now. My life was pretty good before the surgery. I had a history of CC but had it under control and was living happily, healthy and carefree for 2 years. My fiance and I got pregnant with twin girls and ended up losing them. My bowel perforated on my 20th birthday and I gave birth spontaneously 2 days later. After enduring emergency surgery, a month in the hospital recovering, and complications along the way, I can say I've come so far. But I still very much miss and mourn over what my life used to be and what it is now.
I'm 20 years old and have such wonderful family and an incredibly loving and supportive fiance who is my rock. But I can't help and let the negativity flood my head sometimes. Not only can I not have the freedom of wearing my bikini on the beach, or allowing an inch of stomach be shown under my clothes, but I lost my daughters too. This would be an entirely different healing process if I had my babies with me right now. I feel like I walked out of that hospital with nothing other than my life. A life I'm very grateful to have, but aside from that I felt, and still do sometimes, feel pretty empty. My fiance has no qualms about
the ostomy and infact forgets I have it at times because I hide it so well.
My point through all of this is what follows. Life is full of lessons, some harder than others. I truly believe we are only given what we can handle and what will make us stronger and wiser. I learned a very harsh lesson, one that meant losing my daughters. I can sit here all day and cry and wish I went with them, but God gave me a 2nd chance for whatever reason. I'm taking this and running with it. If I was not meant to be here, I wouldn't be. But something has kept me here.
Love will find it's way into your life, and into your heart. I guarantee you, you will have more issues with it than someone who has love for you. As time goes on you'll learn to accept different aspects of your life and will gain more confidence. The world is not as cruel as we think sometimes.
As for your body, you'll learn to love it again. I've always been somewhat fit and it crushed me to know I couldn't just *be* anymore. Just today I was hanging out in my room after my shower in my bra and panties(is that too much info? lol) with the music on. I looked in the mirror and really looked at my body. Everything looks just as good as it always has, with just an added "thing" on my stomach. There are so many things you can do to help with self esteem too. I just ordered some 2 piece appliances to try with smaller bags. My biggest problem, especially with trying to feel sexy, is having this long bag dangling all the time.
With time, it will come. You are not a freak by any means, you're alive and that should be celebrated. 42 is still young, don't let this extra piece hold you back from enjoying life.
Alright, now that I've written you a novel I'll sign off from here! Wishing you lots of laughter, love and comfort for many days, weeks, and years to come!

i feel that way too sometimes, like amey said, my tummy is what is most bothersome to me, it's all poochy and nasty and i can't stand it!
But having a poochy tummy and a bag is not nearly as bad as being sick all the time. Try really hard to think of all the things you couldnt' do before, all the things that were bad in your life, and then compare that to what is bad now. I do that and find that what i am upset about
now pales in comparsion!
hope you feel better!
