It also introduces methods for improving the quality of a multitude of manufactured products such as the production of steel and other metals (and the passivation of their oxidation) the dyeing and waterproofing of cotton and leather the chemical analysis of pigments and other natural substances the purification of gold and the production of pure mercury from cinnabar. In addition, it details many techniques of chemistry such as precipitation, crystallisation and distillation, and provides instructions for making the apparatus and equipment necessary to carry them out.

Drawing and description of Alembic, by Jabir Ibn Hayyan in 8th century. Also of significance is the study of matter and its classification into animal, vegetable and mineral the introduction of intrinsic properties of different substances such as warm, moist and dry and the possibility of artificially reproducing many naturally occurring phenomena and materials. the adoption of the experimental method in the Islamic world, much earlier than in Europe. The experimental method in the Islamic worldĪmong the most important contributions present in the Arabic writings attributed to Jabir is the importance of practical knowledge acquired through experience and experimentation, i.e. 925) stands out, is the main argument for questioning whether Jabir was the founder and inspiration behind this group or whether it is simply the name chosen to divinise the origin of these teachings and thereby confer on them a higher (almost supernatural) authority. The existence of a recognised collective to whom the authorship of the texts could be assigned, and among whom Abu Barkr al-Razi ( c. Likewise, this hypothesis also suggests that the so-called Jabirian Corpus is in fact the combined work of some of his pupils and followers of the so-called Brethren of Purity -a secret confraternity whose philosophical-religious teachings enjoyed wide influence and acceptance. Today, the most widely held hypothesis is that Jabir could not have written the entire body of work attributed to him, but only a very limited part, both because of the titanic task that would have been required for an individual to compose more than a thousand works, and also because of the obvious and notable stylistic and thematic differences among the texts of the supposed Jabirian works. On the other hand, another biography written at about the same time, Notes of Abu Sulayman al-Mantiqi al-Sijistani, questions whether Jabir was the author of such a volume of texts and even raises doubts about his actual existence. It seems possible that the Kitab-al-Fihrist, a catalogue made by Ibn Al-Nadim and dated around AD 987 that compiles all the literature written in Arabic at that time, contributed to the myth surrounding Jabir by attributing to him a huge number of writings. He died in Kufa in AD 815 at the venerable age of 94. He became the court alchemist and physician during the reign of Caliph Haroun Al-Rashid. The son of a pharmacist, he is said to have studied first in Yemen, under the tutelage of the sage Harbi Al-Himyari, and later in Kufa, as a student of Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq, where he learned alchemy (chemistry), pharmacy, philosophy, medicine and astronomy. However, doubts and controversy arise from the first two (known) biographical references to him, dating from as early as the 10th century.Īccording to tradition, Abu Musa Jabir Ibn Hayyan Al-Azdi was born in AD 721 in what is now Iran and spent most of his life in the city of Kufa (Iraq). Legend attributes to him the authorship of between 300 and more than 1000 works on philosophy, alchemy and chemistry. His figure and even his name are shrouded in mist and uncertainty, which fuel his myth. Who really was Jabir ibn Hayyan? Known in Europe as Geber, this Islamic scholar of the Middle Ages is considered the father of alchemy and one of the founders or pioneers of pharmacology and modern chemistry.

Impression bridal red n ivory8/17/2023 She did find several that I thought I would like, but when we went to try them on she wasn't interested in any dresses that required work getting on. She asked my street size, explained that wedding dresses run very small, and we started pulling dresses. Not very kind when I said I wanted to stay under $2000 for a dress, but did show me their room that had discontinued dresses that we could buy off the rack. I’m definitely telling them to specifically ask for you! You rock!! Read More Katie, Wow thank you again for all your hardwork, exceptional service and your going above and beyond for me! You truly are great at what you do! You are a great listener, attentive to detail, gracious, knowledgeable, smart, courteous, amazing, so kind and my goodness so patient!! Love how you addressed my girlfriends and I by name! Noticed and appreciated that detail! Thank you for all the attention you gave me over the phone from that very first call, to all the texts back and forth and the very day we met! Not once did I feel rushed or pressured to make a decision! You were so understanding and tried to make things work to my advantage from various angles, scenarios and all! I can't thank you enough for all that you did for me!! I couldn't stop talking about you and your exemplary service! My girlfriends were blown away by you and so was/is Ryan and my Mom! Now I know where to send all my single girlfriends to. They offered support, compliments, feedback and even worked with Katie in providing me other options within my budget beyond my expectation! I finally found my dream dress and gorgeous veil thanks to Katie!! Yaay I got to say YES TO THE DRESS!! I love how the rest of Impression Bridal team got involved during the process. Her kindness and graciousness made me feel at ease during the entire process even when I got undecided and confused after hours of trying on dresses. She kept going back and forth with the manager and seamstress to get my vision and dream for my dress! Oh plus the veil! She LISTENED and REALLY worked with my budget! Katie was good at thinking on her feet. We were met with smiles and warmth upon entering Impression Bridal Galleria! The ladies at the front desk gave us an exceptional welcome! I finally met Katie in person and let me tell you… she is golden! Amazing! You name it!!! So gracious from her walk, to her speech to her entire demeanor! I love that! Coz Lord knows I needed all the grace haha! She had several dresses picked out so we got started! She gave me all her time, attention and patience! Plus several options each time I hesitated about something. I was sold! Couple of days later I was on the road with one of my girlfriends to Houston! Even when I wasn’t feeling a dress, she didn’t give me attitude about it… neither was she pushy like a car salesman! She kept going back on the floor to take more photos of different dresses. She was so attentive over the phone, very cool, calm and collected! She texted me photos of dress options based on what we had talked about earlier. Katie took down my information and what I was looking for in a dress. My fiancé Ryan asked me to start with a phone call and talk to someone from Impression Bridal Galleria and Katie answered! Wow this lady was (still is) amazing from the very first Hello! I was panicking that I was late “in the game” and that I wouldn’t find something in my size as I’m petite and usually wear a size 0 or 00 depending on where I get my outfits. Mpression Bridal Galleria but I initially hesitated due to distance since I live in Dallas, TX. Hansi flick germany8/17/2023 Hence, while the director of the national team and academies, Oliver Bierhoff, has departed the DFB, Flick will receive a second chance. "We have full confidence in Hansi Flick that he will succeed in this challenge together with his staff." “Our goal is to make this tournament a sporting success. "We are all convinced that the 2024 European Championship in our country represents a great opportunity for football in Germany,” Neuendorf said. Neuendorf, too, expressed his optimism that Flick can guide the team to a successful tournament in 2024. “We all want the whole of Germany to gather behind the national team again at the home Euros in 2024." "I have faith in the path agreed today with Bernd Neuendorf and Aki Watzke,” Flick said. Another issue was Thomas Müller often played out of position as a no.9 there was hope that Flick would perhaps start Niclas Füllkrug instead.įlick, however, appears to have listened to the criticism. That also included defender Niklas Süle-now at Dortmund the center-back played at Bayern during Flick’s time at the club. Flick relied too heavily on players from his time at Bayern Munich. Substitutions and team selection, in general, have been the biggest points of criticism. Flick will have to take some blame for that result as he took off Ilkay Gündogan for Leon Goretzka, handing over the midfield to the opponent. He has also been published in the Guardian, Newsweek, Howler, Pro Soccer USA, and several other outlets.Then came the World Cup, in which Germany once again failed to get out of the group stage, throwing away a game in Japan in which Die Nationalmannschaft was in complete control. Manuel Veth is the host of the Bundesliga Gegenpressing Podcast and the Area Manager USA at Transfermarkt. Certainly, the national team is better when key players return, but tactically Flick cannot find himself be outcoached in such a manner if Germany wants to be successful at the 2024 European Championships. There must be consequences from this defeat. What follows next, however, will be equally important for Flick’s team. Those two substitutions prevented a bigger defeat and allowed Germany to almost come back into the game. Flick, however, reacted quickly, and brought on Can for Wirtz and Felix Nmecha for Goretzka. Germany struggled in the first 20 minutes, and a higher defeat was possible. The 29-year-old seems to have regained his Liverpool form and how he has played in recent weeks for Dortmund, he could finally become a crucial player for Germany, and a serious alternative to Leon Goretzka, who was substituted with a muscle injury.Īnother positive was Flick himself. Playing almost like a libero, Can quarterbacked Germany, completing 91% of his 57 passes and winning 100% of his tackles. Can came on in the 32nd minute for Florian Wirtz and quickly stabilized Germany. Wolf’s Dortmund teammate Emre Can is another winner of the international break. One of the fastest players (34.5km/h) in the Bundesliga, Wolf has the speed, technique, and willingness to fight to become a top wing-back and a more consistent option for Germany’s back four. That was the case during his second spell at Dortmund, where head coach Edin Terzic turned him into a right-back. Only at Frankfurt, could one see what Wolf is capable of doing when he receives the full trust of his head coach. Previously an attacking midfielder, Wolf was always considered a player of high potential among his coaches, but whether it was 1860 Munich, Köln, or Dortmund, he never fully showed his potential. The second guard, Matthias Ginter and Thilo Kehrer, highlighted against Belgium that they are not consistent enough against the world’s elite.Īmong the back-four, only Dortmund right-back Marius Wolf stood out. Germany was without Antonio Rüdiger, Niklas Süle, and Nico Schlotterbeck against Belgium, and it showed. The negative has certainly been the defense. by Sebastien Smets / Photo News via Getty Images) Photonews via Getty Images Serge Gnabry (c.) made it 3-2 in the 87th minute but it was too little too late for Germany ( Photo.

Nearby is the Ras Al Khor on one side and Dubai Festival City on the other. The tower is located in Dubai Creek Harbor. The only thing worth to be seen there would be this tower.Creek Rise Tower 2, where life, luxury and leisure are one. No interaction with the urban fabric? oh, come on! the urban fabric surrounding this tower is just awful, there is nothing to interact with, that urban fabric doesn't even have interaction with itself. When you are inside the "sun fried plaza", bellow all those cables, looking up at that net above you with the sky, the thing must be breathtaking. From a distance, they look pretty good and prety elegant. That looks to "fragile" and the critics to the cables? I actually think that those cables looks very good, they are a structural neccessity, but made architectural, the way he used the staying cables is what makes this tower unique and iconic. That it is to thin? it is an observation tower, it does not have to be thick.Ī sun fried plaza? this thing is supposed to be a tourist attraction, that plaza should be full of people. Also, even if generally I like Calatrava works, from a aesthetic perspective, I also find that many times it is overdesigned.Īll that said, I don't get all the hate this tower is having. Looking at the renderings, I don't like a bit of all the urbanism surrounding this tower, made of sterile buildings atop parking podiums. I am not a fan, at all, of the oulandish urbanism of Dubai for the rich, it is just not my kind of city. The Burj itself has become a tourist attraction and the city’s most marketable landmark. The Burj Khalifa, following completion in 2010, spurred development in downtown Dubai, a neighborhood that is now prime real estate. “Cycles happen in all economies, in all cities world-wide,” said Mr. expects to open the world’s future tallest skyscraper, which will comprise condominiums, office space and hotel rooms, by 2019.Įmaar’s plans for the new tower also come at a time when over the past year Dubai’s property market has lost some of its luster, after strongly rebounding from a devastating real estate crash that hit the region with the global financial crisis in 2009. With the new project, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia appear to be in a race toward building the world’s tallest tower. The tower’s design is inspired by a lily and a minaret, the spire-like structure next to a mosque usually used for the Muslim call for prayer, according to Emaar. The building named as “The Tower” has been designed by Santiago Calatrava Valls, a Spanish-Swiss architect who also worked on the railway station at the rebuilt World Trade Center site in New York. The Burj Khalifa, also built by Emaar, currently tops out at 828 meters. “It will probably be announced when we open the tower but it will be a notch taller than the Burj Khalifa,” said Mohamed Alabbar, chairman of Emaar, at a preview event. It will be situated in a yet-to-be built 6-square-kilometer residential and retail district next to Dubai’s creek and adjacent to a wildlife sanctuary. The announcement by Emaar underlines Dubai’s ambition to establish itself as a global investment and tourism hub by often pursuing futuristic megaprojects such as artificial islands off its coast or an indoor ski slope.Įmaar aims to deliver the tower, which won't be for residential use but contain an observation deck and possibly a small hotel, before Dubai hosts the World Expo fair in 2020. DUBAI-Dubai’s flagship developer Emaar Properties on Sunday unveiled plans to construct the world’s tallest tower in the Middle Eastern emirate, set to rise slightly above the Burj Khalifa that currently holds the title. Common window tint percentages8/17/2023 This is one of the best shades of tint that moderately blocks both heat and harmful radiation. They are almost clear like glass but may be subjected to various glass conditioning procedures.Īs indicated, 50% of the sun rays are blocked and only half is allowed to penetrate into the interior of the car. These are the factory-installed, regular type of windows that is clear and does not have any shade. Some of the common percentages of window tints are shown below. The Visual Light Transmission percentage (VLT %) represents the percentage of visible light that can penetrate the window film. Even though the industry may not be at its peak at present, the tinting still continues with even more advancements of technology. The industry of car window tints reached its highest market during the mid-1990s. Here, a shade percentage of 35% was allowed for side windows and the rear glass. Later, the dyed or colored film of tint was introduced. With the increasing popularity of window tints, new laws and regulations were created and this is where the Visible Light Transmission factor came into existence. The metallic combination and alloy technology were introduced in the 1980s. The scratch-resistant property was added in the late 1970s. The reflective and flat films originated in Western Australia in the mid-1970s. A few years later, the thick mounting adhesive was introduced for enhancing security on cars. Towards the early 1970s, a dyed film of metal was introduced that reduced the reflective appearance. It was also scratched easily and hence the quality was low. Therefore it couldn’t be used for vehicles. This created a highly reflective look, almost mirror-like. This was created by spraying a coat of vapor on a film of clear polyester using mounting adhesive. These were used for the windows of buildings and offices. The friction on land vehicles caused a lack of durability, unlike in space travel where there is no friction.Īfter about a decade, a tougher form of window tint was developed which was less expensive. Nevertheless, one main drawback was that these tint films were more expensive with respect to the price of cars. Along with time this technology was used for heat elimination on-road vehicles. The first use of tint films was in the space mission, Apollo. In the earliest stage, tints were created for the space shuttle industry so as to reflect heat during space travel. Battery backup sump pump menards8/17/2023 More height means harder work for the pump. Head is the height that water has to be lifted from the pump to the horizontal discharge pipe. Check the head on the manufacturers GPH rating. To find your current pumps rating, locate its make and model number on the label and find the specs on the manufacturers Web site.Ģ. If not, buy a pump with a higher GPH rating. If your current pump keeps up with the flow during the heaviest rainstorms, buy that capacity again.

It should just be water in your sump basin.” How To Buy A Primary Sump Pump His recommendation was not to worry about it. Gary at Home Depot:More interested in his phone than talking to me. I stopped at several home improvement stores today to ask about sump pump stands to several different opinions from those who sell sump pumps directly: Wouldn’t using a stand just delay the inevitable? I would suspect the sediment will eventually build up above the stand to the base of the pump, at which time you would… buy another, taller stand? If there is that much junk in the sump pit, suck it out with a shop vac.You May Like: What Is Battery And Assault There are four main types of sump pumps: submersible, pedestal, battery backup, and combination. Additionally, the sump pump comes with a removable screen filter thats easy to clean. As a result of its powerful motor, the pump can move water up inclines as large as 20 feet. It includes a -horsepower motor contained inside of a heavy-duty cast-iron frame that secures the pump inside the sump pit. This sump pump is equipped with a piggy-back plug that lets homeowners automatically or manually turn on the pump to discharge up to 2,760 gallons of water per hour. The battery and charger are shown in Figure 7. When not in use, a specially designed battery charger keeps the battery voltage above 12 volts. The float switch on the backup pump is connected to a battery. The backup pump float should be set so that it turns on the pump when the water level is slightly below the sump inlet. The gray float above the backup pump is set at a level where it will turn on only when the water is above the turn-on level for the main pump. The float switch that controls the main pump is near the bottom of the sump. The backup pump is on the left and the main pump is on the right. However, in many installations, the backup pump is mounted above the primary sump pump.įigure 4 shows the two pumps sitting on the bottom of the sump. In Figure 3, the primary and backup sump pumps are connected so that the inlet to both pumps are at the same level and rest on the bottom of the sump. The discharge from the backup pump is connected to the discharge pipe of the primary sump pump. The backup pump has its own check valve mounted in the outlet pipe. A regular battery charger will not work for this type of installation except in an emergency. The typical backup pump system has a 12-volt direct current motor powered by a battery connected to a specially designed trickle charger. The new behavior of sand coming in has me curious. retrenching the pit and laying a new drain pipe. I assume the sand is coming from the trench that the drain pipe is buried in.Is the sand coming into the pit an indication of another, possibly future, problem that we’ll have to deal with, or should we just forget about it? e.g. Lately the sump pit has had sand in it after it gets filled from a good size rain. For years the water draining into the sump has been mostly clear & free of sand. The pump then sends the water out onto the side yard. The pipe drains into a sump pump hole in the machine room of the basement.
