Solido
Solido is a French manufacturer of die-cast model cars and trucks based in Oulins, Anet, France, about 40 miles west of Paris. Vehicles are usually made of zamac alloy in varying scales, but mostly 1:43.
History
Solido was established in 1930 by Ferdinand de Vazeilles in the western Paris suburb of Nanterre, France. The company was one of the first European firms to champion the "virtues of unbreakable diecast metal" (Rixon 2005, 9). Vazeilles' first product was a metal Gergovia spark plug on wheels (Force 1993. 5). In 1932 some of the first vehicle kits were made in Zamac, labeled with the theme "toys with transformations" referring to their spring-loaded motors that would propel them across the floor. The feeling was somewhat like what Schuco was offering in Germany. In 1953, de Vazeilles bequeathed the company, then called Solijouets SA, to his son Jean René (Militaires Solido website). By 1960, Vazeilles' three children, Charlotte, Jean and Colette, were running it.
After World War II, the company factory was relocated farther west to an old stone former hydroelectric power building in the town of Ivry-la-Bataille in Normandy (Militaires Solido website). In 1974, the company opened a new factory in Oulins, about three miles to the southeast. Later information on the Solido boxes labeled the company home as in nearby Anet, a postal designation.
Glossary of Dune terminology
This is a list of terminology used in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert, the primary source being "Terminology of the Imperium," the glossary contained in the novel Dune (1965).
Dune word construction could be classified into three domains of vocabulary, each marked with its own neology: the names and terms related to the politics and culture of the Galactic Empire, the names and terms characteristic of the mystic sodality of the Bene Gesserit, and the barely displaced Arabic of the Fremen language. Fremen share vocabulary for Arrakeen phenomena with the Empire, but use completely different vocabulary for Bene Gesserit-implanted messianic religion.
Due to the similarities between some of Herbert's terms and ideas and actual words and concepts in the Arabic language — as well as the series' "Islamic undertones" and themes — a Middle Eastern influence on Herbert's works has been noted repeatedly.

Lo Intento
by: SOLIDO"lo intento"
Ya no quiero recordarla
Evitarme venerarla
Expulsarla de mis sueos
Desangrar hasta sacar su veneno
Como quisiera odiarla un poco
Entender que no le importo
Y dejar estar tan loco
Por creer que ella me sigue queriendo
Quiero perder tus pasos
Y mandarlo todo al diablo
Que se vaya esta pasion
Porque me esta estorbando
Que no me importe que estoy solo
Y ya no llorar
Encontrar alguien que me haga olvidar
No te mereces que me duela mas
Y yo merezco este maldito lugar
Y lo intento
Amor se aferra a tenerme preso
Es el pasado que me tiene atrapado
Y por mas que lo intento
Siempre fracaso
Y me ganan tus recuerdos
Y lo intento
Y no me escapo de este cruel infierno
Que tienes tu que me aferro como un necio
Y por mas que lo intento
Solo logro enamorarme mas
En cada intento
Quiero perder tus pasos
Y mandarlo todo al diablo
Que se vaya esta pasion
Porque me esta estorbando
Que no me importe que estoy solo
Y ya no llorar
Encontrar alguien que me haga olvidar
No te mereces que me duela mas
Y yo merezco este maldito lugar
Y lo intento
Amor se aferra a tenerme preso
Es el pasado que me tiene atrapado
Y por mas que lo intento
Siempre fracaso
Y me ganan tus recuerdos
Y lo intento
Y no me escapo de este cruel infierno
Que tienes tu que me aferro como un echo
Y por mas que lo intento
Solo logro enamorarme mas
En cada intento
