CONT

[…] l’idée d’une taxe financière mondiale n’est pas nouvelle […] Plus récemment, l’un des premiers à avoir évoqué l’idée de telles taxes a été l’ancien premier ministre britannique, Gordon Brown. […] Il y avait abordé quatre voies possibles pour s’assurer que les contribuables n’auront pas à payer dans le futur le sauvetage des institutions bancaires : (1) une prime d'assurance reflétant le risque systémique, (2) un renforcement du capital des établissements, (3) un fonds de secours et, dernière option, (4) une taxe sur les transactions financières internationales.

La nueva justificación del impuesto financiero parte de comprobar que en esta crisis el "apalancamiento" de las entidades financieras –la relación entre capital o recursos propios y deuda o pasivos– y la evolución de la liquidez –la "transformación" de pasivos a corto plazo en activos a largo plazo– ha llevado a muchas entidades a situaciones de colapso de solvencia, de liquidez, o de ambas cosas a la vez, que habida cuenta de su importancia sistémica han requerido de intervenciones de dinero público para evitar su quiebra […]

  • Facilities and Equipment (Rubber)
CONT

In a modern factory processing large quantities of rubber, the crude, tough rubber as received from the plantation in bales is cut into pieces by powerful mechanically operated knives. The rubber is then put through a Gordon plasticator, a large single-barrel, single-screw machine similar in principle to a sausage grinder. The rubber is churned about by the screw, and this violent mechanical action causes the temperature of the plasticized rubber to rise to from 315°F to 360°F(157°C to 182°C) in the few minutes required for it to pass through the plasticator.
