Unreferenced date March 2012 Image Bellycast.png right thumb 200px Plaster belly cast of pregnant torso A belly cast is a three dimensional plaster sculpture of a woman s pregnant abdomen as a keepsake of her pregnancy . It can also be known as a belly mask, pregnancy belly cast, a pregnant plaster cast, or prenatal cast. Belly casts are often made during the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy and a series of casts may be made during the pregnancy. They are made by preparing the skin with a coating of Vaseline or a similar lubricant and adding strips of wet plaster gauze over the abdomen to make the cast. Some women also cast their breasts, arms, hands and thighs into a full torso sculpture. The plaster sets in about 20 30 minutes but some fast setting strips set in five minutes. Once set, the cast is gently removed by the mother using a wriggling motion. It takes one or two days for the cast to dry completely. Gesso can be painted onto the mask after drying to stop it absorbing moisture from the air. Gesso also works as a surface primer for painting and preserving it. The cast can be Decorative art decorate d with any number of finishes or designs including the baby s hand and foot prints, or left in its natural state.

DISPLAYTITLE dynamic cast In the C programming language, the code dynamic cast code operator is a part of the run time type information RTTI system that performs a type conversion typecast .

A colour cast is a tint of a particular colour, usually unwanted, which affects the whole of a photographic image evenly. Certain types of light can cause film and digital cameras to have a colour cast. In general, the human eye does not notice the unnatural colour, because our eyes and brains adjust and compensate for different types of light in ways that cameras cannot. In film, colour casts can also be caused by problems in development. Improper timing or imbalanced chemical mixtures can cause unwanted casts.

Cast earth is a modified and patented building material developed since the mid 1990s by Harris Lowenhaupt . Based on the earlier unpatented Turkish Alker, it is a concrete like composite with soil of a suitable composition as its bulk component, but is set with about 15 gypsum calcined gypsum plaster plaster of Paris instead of Portland cement cement . It can be used to form solid walls that need not be reinforced with steel frame steel or timber framing , unless extra earthquake construction seismic reinforcement is necessary. Forms are set up and filled with cast earth, which sets quickly and solidly. Once the forms are removed the wall stays sound. The calcined gypsum sets quickly, which is one quality that has historically made plaster of Paris so useful. When calcined gypsum is added to soil, however, the setting time is reduced even further, to mere minutes. Often this quick setting is too fast and a retardant must be added to the mix so it can be poured. In Alker, lime is added to extend working time to 20 minutes. Cast earth uses another retardant for an even greater working time. When the structure is dry, it is similar to adobe in various ways, outperforming it in tensile strength , hardness, and erosion resistance. It also has less tendency to crack and shrink. Cast earth walls do soak up water, however, if they are not sealed with a silicone coating or other waterproofer. Using cast earth in place of other materials reduces the time and labor needed to complete a project. Machinery is used in place of much of the manual labour human labor during cast earth construction. It is often less costly, since earth and calcined gypsum are plentiful and cheap materials to acquire. Few contractors are licensed in the use of cast earth today, but if public demand for structures made of the material grows, more builders will seek training in its use.
