This time, itâs the Registry that is looking to take a substantial part of the budget. Compared to its 2015 budget of just over 65 million euros, ICC Registrar Herman von Hebel has asked for nearly 82 million euros this year. This amounts to 53.44 percent of the Court's entire 2016 proposed budget.
Gypsum is a rock like mineral commonly found in the earthâs crust, extracted, processed and used by Man in construction or decoration in the form of plaster and alabaster since 9000 B.C.. Plaster was discovered in Catal-Huyuk in Asia in an underground fresco, and in Israel Gypsum floor screeds were found from 7000 B.C.
Most gypsum occurs in its massive form, as layers of rock that often intercalate layers of shale, limestone, or dolostone. Alabaster is a common name used for particularly pure deposits of massive gypsum. Gypsum also occurs in crystal form, with the two most common varieties being large clear crystals that are often termed selenite, and fibrous crystals, known as satin spar. âSeleniteâ is the Greek word for moon, and refers to the crystals well-developed pearl-like luster that can reflect a soft moon-like glow.
