The International Credit Insurance & Surety Association(ICISA) provides a forum for the continuous exchange of ideas and information, in order to improve and develop the specialised service its members give the business world. This includes the exchange of views and experience about trading conditions and developments in particular industrial and trade sectors as well as as markets, the exchange of information about credit risks and co-operation through reinsurance arrangements, particularly in export transactions. ICISA was established in Paris in 1928 as the International Credit Insurance Association(ICIA) In 2001 the name was changed to the International Credit Insurance & Surety Association, to reflect the fact that more than half of its members were by then(also) involved in the underwriting of surety business. ICISA commemorated its 75th anniversary in 2003. From its inception until 1999, the Association was based in Switzerland, where it is still registered under Swiss Civil Code.

  • History
CONT

Contact Period in the Champlain Valley(1609-1664 AD)... 1609 the Mahican living in the Hudson Valley came in contact with Dutch explorer Henry Hudson. Shortly thereafter, the Dutch began to trade metal tools to the Mahican in exchange for furs. The Mahican also developed alliances with the French. When the English captured New Amsterdam in 1664, a region which included much of the Mahican's traditional territory, the Mahican were forced to develop alliances with the British. By 1700 the Mahican population had been decreased from an estimated 4, 000 to about 500 through European diseases, famine, wars, and political pressures. Many of the Mahican merged with other groups, including the Dutch, the Western Abenaki, the French, and the Mohawk Iroquois. By 1720 the Mahican no longer existed as an organized native tribe in the Champlain and Hudson Valleys. The influx of Europeans to the Northeast caused great upheaval among the region's Native American populations. Disease, confusing political and economic relations, and continuous warfare split native communities apart and forced them to join outlying groups....

  • Petroleum Distillation
CONT

The Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis(SMDS) plant now operational at Bintulu, Malaysia, is the latest in a series of partnership projects between Shell companies and the people of Malaysia that stretches back for more than 100 years. The new plant uses advanced technology to convert natural gas, abundantly available from the Central Luconia field offshore Sarawak, into liquid fuels of high purity. These fuels can also be used as components to upgrade lower quality stock derived from conventional crude oil processing. In addition, the plant can produce high-value waxes, as well as feedstocks for detergents and lubricants. The product mix can be varied to meet market needs. The SMDS technology was developed at the Shell laboratory in Amsterdam(KSLA) over a period of 20 years. After commercial and technical assessment, Bintulu was chosen in preference to sites in other parts of the world as an appropriate location for the employment of SMDS technology in the first commercial plant.

Commodity exchanges developed in cities which were transportation or trading centres for commodities. New York was still called New Amsterdam when an open market developed along the Manhattan Island waterfront. Here businessmen traded grain, fats, oils and provisions under the very bows of the ships that carried produce to world markets and brought silks to New York. Today this exchange is known as the New York Produce Exchange. It is one of several exchanges in that city providing facilities for trading in many basic commodities including grain.

Aujourd'hui ce marché est devenu la Bourse des denrées de New York, l'une des diverses bourses que compte cette métropole et dont les activités s'étendent à de nombreux produits essentiels, y compris le grain.

CONT

The Invention of Dutch Cocoa. Coenraad Van Houten, a chemist and chocolate manufacturer in Amsterdam, patented an invention that was soon to change chocolate from a beverage to a confection. He had devised a process for making chocolate powder by using hydraulic pressure to remove almost half of the cocoa butter from chocolate liquor. This reduced the fat content from over 50% to about 25%, and made a hard cake that could be pulverized. Then, in order to make this powder easier to mix into warm water, he treated it with alkaline salts, which also made the color darker and removed some of the bitterness. This treatment came to be known as "Dutching. "

OBS

Le terme «poudre de cacao» désigne le cacao non solubilisé. «Cacao» comme synonyme de «poudre de cacao» est un abus terminologique dans la mesure où cacao désigne la poudre non solubilisée et où «poudre de cacao» englobe les deux notions (solubilisée ou non solubilisée).

OBS

Because of the greater passenger capacity the axleboxes of underground trains are more heavily loaded than those on tramcars. This means that the wing type axle boxes(...) used on the Amsterdam coaches must withstand considerable bending and torsional stresses as the load is transmitted via the Clouth springs.

OBS

Les boîtes d'essieux de métros sont plus chargées que celles des tramways, parce que leurs voitures peuvent transporter un plus grand nombre de passagers. Les boîtes d'essieux à plateaux (...) utilisées sur les voitures d'Amsterdam doivent donc résister à des contraintes de flexion et de torsion très importantes, étant donné que la charge est transmise par la suspension Clouth.
