![]() The Periodic Table of Rejected Element Names Click to enlargeįor elements discovered more recently, a catalogue of names have been seriously and not-so-seriously suggested before the official names were confirmed. There’s also an accompanying explanatory poster on why some elements have symbols that don’t match up with their names. Mark Lorch from the University of Hull, tries to pin down where those names come from. This table, created in collaboration with Prof. The origins of the elements’ names are varied both in terms of language and in terms of what they were named after. The Periodic Table of Element Name Origins Click to enlarge It’s also colour-coded to show how these properties vary from element to element.ĭownload this table and find out more about it here. It includes the melting point, boiling point, density, electronegativity, radius, and first ionisation energy of each element in the table. Here’s a periodic table that’s crammed with data. The Periodic Table of Data Click to enlarge I say ‘completed’ because scientists are still trying to create elements beyond element 118, so in years to come an extra row may be required to accommodate new element entries. Four new elements had their discoveries and names confirmed in 2016, and replaced the last few placeholder positions in the table. The periodic table has actually only just been ‘completed’ in the past year. The Complete Periodic Table of Elements Click to enlarge To mark the occasion here are a selection of periodic tables I’ve made over the past few years, which include a serious look at element properties, and a not-so-serious look at the names for newly-discovered elements that were rejected over the years. ![]() By happy coincidence it’s also only a day before the birthday of Dmitri Mendeleev, the scientist most famously associated with the periodic table. February 7 was picked because it marks the date on which John Newlands’ first periodic table of elements was published way back in 1863. You could be forgiven for not knowing – it was actually only ‘founded’ in May 2015, so this is only the second time it’s rolled around. Today, February 7, is National Periodic Table Day. ![]() Cotton Cloud – Kids Bubble FontĬotton Cloud is an absolutely adorable children’s typeface that puts a smile on your face. ![]() With beautifully designed sans-serif characters, mixed with an almost slab typeface bold bordering, the font will work to stand out in any creative project.

Sustaining a driver backup file is an excellent feature that allows you to revert any driver back to a previous version, in the event that something catastrophic occurs.Win7 32bit Quickcam Deluxe for Notebooks, s/w vxxx Well. A driver update tool ensures that you have correct driver versions for your hardware, and also creates a backup of your current drivers before making any changes. ![]() There is a lot of work involved in updating device drivers, so we strongly suggest downloading and installing a driver update utility. An incorrect driver or version for your hardware will cause further damage. Even for someone who is experienced at finding, downloading, and manually updating QuickCam V-UB2 drivers, the process can still be exceptionally tedious and extremely annoying. The right QuickCam V-UB2 driver can be difficult to locate on the manufacturer's website. The best part is that your Webcam drivers can always be modified to solve the laptop dilemma. Drivers can work one day, and suddenly stop working the next day, for a variety of reasons. QuickCam V-UB2 errors are often caused by viruses of outdated and corrupted device drivers. On the other hand, installing incorrect Webcam drivers can cause a myriad of issues including PC crashes, sliuggish performance, and overall system instability. Increased features from your QuickCam V-UB2, better hardware performance, and interoperability can be realized from correct driver updates. ![]() Plus, if you are planning to walk on uneven surfaces, then wedges are a no-brainer. ![]() It’s much easier to balance in wedges than heels, which is why many women prefer them. They provide a stable base that gives your feet more support as all parts of the foot are evenly supported. When you want to wear heels, but don’t want the pain and instability that comes from balancing on a stiletto, then wedges are the perfect shoe. ![]() Cork is also buoyant, so if you do happen to lose your shoe in the pool, it won’t sink to the bottom! This makes it ideal for a day when you are planning to be spending a lot of time on your feet. When sneakers or other shoes soak up water or sweat, they can become a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to odor and threaten the integrity of the shoe.Ĭork is wonderfully lightweight, which means it takes less effort to lift your feet while you’re walking. This is really important in keeping your shoes feeling and smelling fresh. It makes sense when you think about why they use cork as a stopper for a wine bottle because it doesn’t soak in the liquid. Cork is an ideal material for sandals because it repels water, rather than soaking it in. When you’re at the beach or pool this summer, it’s very likely that your shoes are going to get wet. With pressure evenly distributed, you are less likely to experience foot problems like plantar fasciitis. This creates a customized insole that is not only super comfortable to walk in, but also very good for your feet as every part of the foot is supported. The hardy material is great for walking on all surfaces without getting damaged and is easily wiped clean.Ĭork is naturally spongey, which means that it has the ability to mold to your foot when used in footwear. A cork sole can last for years without showing signs of wear. Part of what makes cork a rock star in terms of sustainability is that it is incredibly durable. As cork is naturally occuring, it is biodegradable, so it won’t leave behind any nasty plastic residue. Don’t worry, the trees aren’t harmed in this process and the bark grows back on its own, making this a completely sustainable material. Wondering why wedges are often made of cork? While cork was initially chosen as an alternative heel material during a steel shortage in Italy, it has many remarkable qualities that make it perfect for wedge sandals.Ĭork comes from the bark of the cork oak tree, which is stripped every nine years. Take a look at some of our most popular cork wedge sandals. Before you choose a pair of women’s cork wedges, take a look at all the benefits of these versatile and supportive sandals, which feel like they are custom fit just for you! Our two collections of cork wedges, Trulie and Carousel are designed with timeless silhouettes adorned with European accents. ![]() To make women’s sandal wedges as comfortable as possible, we combine supportive, flexible cork with premium soft leather uppers. They can be dressed up or down, worn to the office, and on vacation. Combining the stability of a flat with the elegance and style of heels, wedges let you step out in confidence and take on any surface, from grass to sand without sinking. Invented by Salvatore Ferragamo in 1935, cork wedges are now a must-have shoe in every woman’s closet. ![]() On further questioning, Monica claimed that Haney wasn't her first victim and told authorities about a place where they would find the remains of a person named Steve aka Stephen Delicino, who is the first known victim of the farmer. I do that for my animals and this was the first time I did it for a human being and I knew it was wrong but if it were one of my pigs suffering out there, I would have done the same thing." She told investigators, "He was being eaten, what I believed to be, alive, I put him out of his misery. She claimed about stumbling upon her pigs in a "feeding frenzy," devouring Haney's intestines with his guts "all over the place." Subsequently, Monica was brought in for questioning, where she recounted a disturbing tale about putting Haney out of his misery. During the search, they supposedly discovered a human leg. This led officers to search the farm, revealing a property in appalling condition with piles of garbage, rotting food, and industrial waste. However, concerns arose when evidence showed that Haney had used his Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card at a Walmart near Monica's property the day after she claimed he had departed. She claimed that he went away but told her to take care of his dog after receiving a call from a family member. When questioned about Haney’s disappearance, Monica claimed he had quit and left the farm after working for roughly six months. ![]() Susan Monica claimed she stumbled upon her pigs in a 'feeding frenzy' as they were devouring Robert Haney Worried about their father, Haney's children filed a missing persons report with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office after not hearing from him for over two months. His dog was still running around and all his tools were there…It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up." The son noted, "His leather jacket was there. When he lost contact with his family, Jesse, Haney’s son, visited Monica’s farm on January 1, 2014, to inquire about his father's whereabouts and retrieve his belongings. In 2013, she selected 56-year-old Robert Haney to work as a handyman on her farm. She also ran her own company, White Queen Construction, on the property and had plans to construct a barn for her livestock. Monica, who enlisted in the US Navy during the Vietnam War, purchased her 20-acre farm in Wimer, Oregon in 1991. ![]() The inner post carries the inner rafters of a double roof & the upper floor joists the outer (taller) post carries the exterior rafters Instead of trying to use a super-thick timber to put two sets of grooves in to form an insulated cavity, use two parallel (smaller) timbers separated by an air-gap of several inches. Similar to the Swiss style shown above that uses T&G slats stacked horizontally & set into vertical frame grooves to make a wall (Bohlenwand?) So I wanted to see if there may be a way to adapt it to a double-wall layout But it is ultimately a single layer of wood, to which daub or secondary paneling must be applied in order to get any degree of insulation or draft-seal (not to mention routing paths for conduit in a modern application) Seemed very simple and straightforward, and seems to have served rather inclimate parts of Europe well enough. ![]() So I looked into wood joinery-based systems, and found this diagram on a TFG thread ![]() Stick-built infill walls w/ plywood or SIPs just feel like cheating. I've been trying to learn about enclosure methods, and just haven't been able to get excited about the daub-styles which seem to require a lot of maintenance & are somewhat limited as far as their design flexibility. That out of the way, I'd like to pick ya'll's brains about an enclosure/framing concept that seems like it might have some merit. The plan is to learn as much as I can over the next several years as I narrow down the design & build up a war-chest, and by then hopefully have a good idea of what all I will be doing myself vs. I've been frantically reading through as many threads with a low enough jargon-density for me to understand what is going on I've no formal training whatsoever in framing, but the design philosophy and craftsmanship really appeal to me as an aerospace engineer and amateur machinist. I'd first like to introduce myself and thank the good folks here for hosting this wealth of information, and making it freely available to everyone. ![]() However, in one series 10 of 213 adults with unexplained lymphadenopathy, no patient with a lymph node smaller than 1 cm 2 (1 cm × 1 cm) had cancer, while cancer was present in 8 percent of those with nodes from 1 cm 2 to 2.25 cm 2 (1 cm × 1 cm to 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm) in size, and in 38 percent of those with nodes larger than 2.25 cm 2 (1.5 cm × 1.5 cm). 7, 8 Little information exists to suggest that a specific diagnosis can be based on node size. Nodes are generally considered to be normal if they are up to 1 cm in diameter however, some authors suggest that epitrochlear nodes larger than 0.5 cm or inguinal nodes larger than 1.5 cm should be considered abnormal.

Fine-needle aspiration is occasionally considered an alternative to excisional biopsy but often yields a high number of nondiagnostic results because of the small amount of tissue obtained and the inability to examine the architecture of the gland. Patients with localized lymphadenopathy and a worrisome clinical picture or patients with generalized lymphadenopathy will need further diagnostic evaluation that often includes biopsy ( see the “unexplained” branch of the algorithm). In patients with unexplained localized lymphadenopathy and a reassuring clinical picture, a three- to four-week period of observation is appropriate before biopsy. A subset of patients will either have unexplained lymphadenopathy after the initial clinical evaluation or have a presumptive diagnosis that is made in the “diagnostic” or “suggestive” branches of the algorithm and is not confirmed by test results or by the clinical course. * I discoverd the shadow won't even appear unless there is a boder of the same div. * For some reason, the above rule is not the case for height. * Make sure to set these divs to min-width so you can push the outside "Microsoft Shadow" out of the screen to the left, right, bottom, and top, because the shadow adds pixels to the 100% width whether you set it to width:100% or not, but if you set it to 100% width, you won't be able to make the margin push the outside shadow out. No javascript is required, but this does use Microsoft’s ActiveX CSS. ![]() Hello! Here is an example of an inset Microsoft Shadow working only in Internet Explorer 5.5 through 8. Maybe it’s not possible but I came across this old post and thought maybe, perhaps, someone might know the fix. I can only get the the inner shadow to show over the border, not inside it. It’s working fine in Firefox BUT I also want to add in an inset shadow or inner border to make the framed image look a smidge inset. I have the style for some thumbnails set to have a 2 point radius with a box shadow and a gradient border padded out to look like a polaroid.

The wartime Resistance was very active in these out-of-the-way regions, and the roadsides are dotted with memorials to those killed in ambushes or shot in reprisals. Others, like Figeac, Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Gourdon, Montauban, Monflanquin and the many bastides (fortified towns) that pepper the area between the Lot and Dordogne, have a quieter, more local charm, where the greatest pleasure lies in wandering the narrow streets of their old towns. Some, like Sarlat and Rocamadour, are so well known that they are overrun with tourists in the height of summer. The charm of the area undoubtedly lies in the landscapes and the dozens of harmonious small towns and villages. Hilltops through the region are marked by splendid fortresses of purely military design, such as Bonaguil, Najac, Biron, Beynac and Castelnaud, which more than compensate for the dearth of luxurious châteaux. The other great artistic legacy of the area is the Romanesque sculpture, most notably adorning the churches at Souillac and Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, but all modelled on the supreme example of the cloister of St-Pierre in the quiet town of Moissac. And in these caves – especially in the valley of the Vézère around Les Eyzies– is some of the most awe-inspiring prehistoric art to be found anywhere in the world. Where the rivers have cut their way through the limestone, the valleys are walled with overhanging cliffs, riddled with fissures, underground streams and caves. The other characteristic landscape is the causses, the dry scrubby limestone plateaux found between the Lot and Dordogne and the Lot and Aveyron. But you can travel a long way without seeing a radical shift, except in the uplands of the Plateau de Millevaches, where the rivers plunge into gorges and the woods are beech, chestnut and conifer plantations. ![]() The northerly Limousinis slightly greener and wetter, the south more open and arid. From Limoges in the province of Limousin in the north to the Garonne valley in the south, the country is gently hilly, full of lush hidden valleys and miles of woodland, mainly oak. |
