The Blarney Stone is a historical stone, or actually part of the
Blarney Castle in Ireland where it was believed that kissing the stone
can grant you the gift of gab. Yeah, it seems strange in this day and
age, but who are we to question tradition? It’s not like I’m saying
that Santa Claus doesn’t exist (OOPS!).

This article gives an overview of the hobby of stamp collecting, explaining for example the different types of stamps there are.
Stamps are used by millions of people daily yet few of us give them any thought. We take them for granted, seeing them as mere functional objects. It is true that they are functional objects but not only. Ask any stamp collector and he or she will tell you that a stamp is a lot more than that. In the case of used stamps, a lot of them tell a story and reflect the period and mood of the country in which they were issued.

Learn about the basics of Casting Sand, Green Sand, and the
uses of Casting Sand.
Green Sand: Green sand is also called as foundry sand or molding sand.
This is utilized for sand casting. When this sand is oiled or moistened, it has
a tendency to pack well and retain the shape. Green sand is a mix of pulverized
coal, water, bentonite clay and sand. Out of these four components, the biggest
part is that of the sand. There are
several proportions of these four components. The different ratios are used to
adjust the surface finish, moldability and capacity of the hot molten metal to
degas. The prime use of this sand is in the metal casting. The coal is usually
called as sea coal in foundries. The amount of sea coal is less than 5 percent.
It undergoes partial combustion when there is molten metal present and this
causes offgassing of organic vapors.
