  • History of Metal Casting Fathi Habashi
    Laval University From the SelectedWorks of Fathi Habashi August, 2007 History of Metal Casting Fathi Habashi Available at: https://works.bepress.com/fathi_habashi/438/ History of Metal Casting Fathi Habashi Department of Mining, Metallurgical, and Materials Engineering Laval University, Quebec City, Canada [email protected] metallurgy History of Metal Casting—Part 1 by Fathi Habashi, Department of Mining, Metallurgical, and Materials Engineering, Laval University believe that my work would surely be almost a seed without fruit and that I would fail in that cause which disposed me to satisfy your request I to write and form this work if, while labouring on it, 1 did not tell you of the art of casting, since it is a necessary means to very many ends. It is especially necessary since this art and work is not well known, so that no one can practice it who is not, so to speak, born to it, or who does not have much talent and good judgment. For this reason and also because it is closely related to sculpture, whose arms are the support of its life, it is very highly esteemed… it is a profitable and skilful art and in large part delightful. [BIRINGUCCIO, IN PIROTECHNIA, 1540] Introduction The history of metal casting is the history of metal- lurgy. Metals produced in a furnace are melted and cast to form useful objects, whether a piece of jewelry, an agri- cultural tool, or a weapon. Objects made of gold, silver, copper, bronze, brass, tin, lead, and iron conserved in museums are a testimony to the cleverness of the ancient metal workers.

  • PRIVILEGE SPEECH of REP. PUNO REP. PUNO. Thank You, Mr
    PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. PUNO REP. PUNO. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my dear colleagues in the Sixteenth Congress, nothing gives us greater pleasure than to recognize a great performance when we see it. I rise today to recognize the Gilas Pilipinas national basketball team, which last night bagged the silver medal in the 27th FIBA Asia Championships, earning it a coveted slot to finally participatate among the world’s best in the upcoming FIBA World Championship in Madrid, Spain next year. Mr. Speaker, today is a glorious day for Philippine sports. Through the unpararelled team effort, strong determination and unwavering commitment of the Gilas Pilipinas, the Philippines was able to register the strongest finish yet in 27 years in the FIBA Asia Championships. Basketball- loving Filipinos all over the world have long believed that we can sustain, and even surpass this impressive showing not only because of our national team’s proven basketball skills and acumen but because finally, we now have the organization, teamwork and resolve to unite under one flag and country, toward the attainment of a common and shared goal. Today is a day of jubilation, Mr. Speaker, my dear colleagues, as we celebrate not just a victory on the basketball court, but of the triumph of the undying Filipino competitive spirit and unrelenting will to succeed. Several factors, events, and people came together and saw fruition in the years and months leading up and culminating in our national team’s inspiring performance from August 1 to 11, 2013. First of all, I salute the players, they were the ones who played hard, spent a lot of early mornings and late nights for practice and team meetings.

    VAKANTIE OOSTENRIJK 2016 Vakantie Oosten rijk 2016 Vakantie Oostenrijk 2016 Zondag 22 mei 2016 ‘s morgens op gewone tijd opgestaan. Gauw de elektriciteit op de caravan gezet die ik de vorige dag was vergeten aan te sluiten. ’s Nachts wakker geworden, maar ik had geen zin om dat midden in de nacht nog te gaan doen. Vanaf een uur of vier veel regenbuien. Na het ontbijt met tussenpozen als het even droog was de rest van de spullen ingeladen. Vlak voor we wegreden nog een flinke bui. Ondertussen was het 10.45 uur geworden voordat we wegreden. In Heerhugowaard was het 16 graden Celsius. Onderweg was het eerst vrij rustig maar hoe meer we richting Duitsland reden des ter drukker werd het. Al met al geen bijna geen vrachtverkeer en de vrachtwagens die er waren reden wel ongeveer honderd kilometer per uur. In de buurt van Venlo maar getankt, omdat er een bord was dat het volgende station gesloten was. Al met al schoten we wel op en om ongeveer 17.20 uur waren we op de camping in den Almen te Bad Durkheim. Onderweg werden temperaturen van 25 graden Celsius gehaald. Ook af en toe een spatje regen maar niet veel. Op de weg naar de camping was niet duidelijk aangegeven waar de camping lag en gingen we in eerste instantie naar een vliegveldje voor sportvliegtuigjes. We moesten dus net de andere kant op. Gelukkig kon ik net nog keren en op de camping aangekomen ging de slagboom gelijk omhoog. Toen we uitstapten bij een temperatuur van 24 graden Celsius begon het gelijk te druppelen.
