In 1869, Professor Dmitri Mendeleev created the first periodic table of chemical elements.
He arranged the elements from the lightest one to the heaviest one.
When he proposed his periodic table, he placed empty spaces between some elements.
He said that the empty spaces were for undiscovered elements.
Mendeleev had also predicted the properties of these undiscovered elements.
Naming the undiscovered elements
Mendeleev gave temporary names for the undiscovered elements.
He used the prefixes eka-, dvi- and tri- and combined it with any known elements in the same group with the undiscovered element.
Eka-, dvi- and tri- are numbers 1, 2 and 3 in the Sanskrit language.
The use of the prefix depends on how far the known element is from the unknown element.
For example, germanium was called eka-silicon because silicon is placed one row above germanium, and rhenium was called dvi-manganese because manganese is placed two rows above rhenium.
The names of these elements were changed after they were discovered.
Other scientists use the eka- prefix, too.
Eka- is also used in the names of elements that Mendeleev did not predict.
Before francium was discovered, it was called eka-caesium, and before astatine was discovered, it was called eka-iodine.
The eka- prefix is also used to name transuranic elements (elements after uranium).
For example, ununoctium is also called eka-radon, and untriennium (element number 139) is also called eka-actinium.
Today, the IUPAC uses the systematic element name to give new elements a temporary name.
This new way of naming elements depends on the atomic number of the element.
It does not depend on the position of the element in the periodic table.
Christopher Jones (about 1570 – about 5 March 1622) was Master of the Mayflower when the ship carried the Pilgrims to North America in 1620.
Jones was born about 1570 to Christopher and Sybil Jones of Harwich, co. Essex, England.
The Harwich records for the year of his birth are missing.
Christopher was his father's eldest son.
He lived in a house on High Street.
Jones was eight years old when his father died.
Christopher was left his father's share in the ship Marie Fortune when he turned eighteen.
His brother Roger was left an eighth part and stock in another ship, the Centurion, when he turned eighteen.
Christopher's mother married Robert Russell on 20 September 1579.
On 23 December 1593, Jones married Sarah Twitt, the daughter of a fairly wealthy Harwich merchant.
She lived across the street from Jones in Harwich.
Within a year of their marriage in St. Nicholas's Church, Harwich, they had a son, Thomas.
The boy was baptized on 1 December 1595.
He died a few months later on 17 April 1596.
Sarah's father died in 1599, leaving Christopher and Sarah Jones a twelfth share in the ship Apollo.
Sarah died in 1603.
She was buried on 23 May 1603 in Harwich.
Six months after his wife's death, Jones married Josian Gray in St. Nicholas' church.
She was the widow of Richard Gray, and the daughter of Thomas Thompson.
Both men were ship owners and Harwich merchants.
The Joneses had eight children, four born in Harwich and four born in Rotherhithe where the family moved in 1609.
By the time of his first wedding, Jones' father had died.
He left Jones his share in the ship Mary Fortune.
Sarah Twitt received £20 and a twelfth share in the ship Apollo at her father's death.
In 1601, Jones was elected freeman of the Borough of Harwich.
He served as tax assessor and jury member in Harwich.
His name is listed as one of the 24 capital burgesses on the Great Charter granted to the Borough by James I in 1604.
In 1605, he was accused of keeping hunting dogs (greyhounds), an interest open only to gentlemen whose land was valued at more than 40 shillings per year.
Seafaring career
With what wealth he had acquired through inheritance and marriage, Jones was able to pursue a seafaring career.
He built the ship, Josian, named after his wife.
He traded between England and Europe with voyages to Norway, Bordeaux, and Rochelle.
He carried woolen cloth on outward bound voyages and wine on return trips.
Jones was part owner in the Mayflower.
He had been the master of the ship for about 11 years when it was hired to carry the Pilgrims to North America.
Jones and his 102 passengers and 30-40 crew members left Plymouth, England in September 1620.
They arrived in North America in November.
Jones remained in the New World through a harsh winter and returned to England in the spring of 1621.
Jones' wintering in the New World very likely undermined his health.
He died about 5 March 1622.
His burial is recorded in the Parish Register of St Mary's church, Rotherhithe, as 5 March 1622.
His house still stands in Harwich on King's Head St.

Steak tartare is a dish which is produced using finely chopped or ground meat of beef or horse.
In Belgium and Luxembourg the dish is called filet américain.
The meat used for producing steak tartare is usually of a very high quality.
The name refers to the Tatars, who are said to have had meat under their saddle when riding.
Because the dish is usually eaten raw, there are health concerns: The meat may have been contaminated with bacteria or parasites.
These risks can be reduced when folling basic rules of hygiene and by using fresh meat.

The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 is a work for keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach.
It was written about 1741.
The work consists of an aria and thirty variations.
The aria was not original with Bach, but was probably based on a now lost French dance tune.
The work is believed to have been commissioned by a pupil of Bach's named J. G. Goldberg.
Goldberg was a celebrated virtuoso, and used the work to lull his insomniac employer Count Keyserkingk to sleep.
The basic harmonies and structure of the aria remain consistent from variation to variation.
The work ends with a quodlibet, a humorous combination of two popular tunes.
John Keillor writes, "The work is sublime and compassionate, graceful, warm, and relentlessly intricate, a demonstration of unmatched craft in music history and genuine, poetic imagination."
In modern times, the work is played on both the harpsichord and the piano.

The term Witches' Sabbath was used to describe the belief that there were people, called witches, who regularly met for secret gatherings.
The name is used for the gathering.
One part of the name refers to the Sabbath, the day of rest in Judaism and other Abrahamic religions.
The term was in common use in the Middle Ages.
At that time, the Jews were shown as evil in many European countries.
It was believed that the witches killed people in secret rituals or  poisoned wells during the Witches Sabbath.
From about the 14th century, the Holy Inquisition used this belief to organise pogroms against people it called heretics.
The Catholic Church developed a whole set of ideas about witches.
According to this theory, the Witches Sabbath is one of the five elements that characterize a witch.
The other elements are witches' flight, a pact with the devil, the idea that they entered into a sexual relationship with the devil, and that they used black magic to harm people.
The idea of a conspiracy theory was thematised more and more in the fifteenth century.
People feared a secret society or sect of witches and warlocks (male witches) that would do harm.

Punched tape is a medium for data storage.
It is made of a long strip  with holes in it.
The holes are used to represent information.
The principle is the same as that of a punched card, except that the length is variable.
Punched tape was widely used in the 1950s and 1960s, but was later replaced by other media.
Punched tape was first used to program looms,  in the 18th century.
Similar looms are still used for weaving Tartans, but the punched tape is made of metal platelets today.
Another use of punched tape is in barrel organs.
20th century teleprinters also use punched tape.
Herman Hollerith used punched tape for a census, in 1890.
Gilbert Vernam, a telecommunication engineer developed the Vernam cipher in 1917.
This cipher could be used with punched tape.
Vernam combined a character of the punched tape, with one of a key, to give the encoded character.
Combining the ecoded character with the key again gives the plain text.
This is in fact an exclusive disjunction, even though Vernam used a different name.
It was an automated one-time pad.
The NSA has called this patent "perhaps one of the most important in the history of cryptography."
There are different formats for punching tapes.
Today, two formats are left, which are mechanically compatible.
One is used in Telex and early computing applications.
The strip is  wide, and has five positions, plus a row that serves for feeding, and is always punched.
The feeding row is between positions three and four.
Data positions use a quadratic raster of a width of .
The other format is mainly used in computing.
The strip is  wide, and has eight positions.
Like the other format, the feeding row is between holes three and four.
Both formats save ten rows of data (or characters) on a length of .
If the 5 position strip is put on top of the 8 position one, the first five holes (and the feeding row) have the same position.
Thi means that a reader which is capable of reading 8-position tape can also read 5-position tape.
There are devices which can output both formats.
It is possible to encode 256 different characters on an 8 hole tape, the five hole tape can hold 32 different characters.
The Baudot code which is used for encoding has two special characters that allow to switch between two halves of a code.
This means that the five position punchtape can encode 59 different characters.
It is robust.
Punched tape can be read decades later, if special paper, or mylar is used.
This is not the case of storage relying on magnetism.
The hole pattern can be decoded visually, if necessary.
There are special devices that can repair torn tape.
Editing is possible with a pair of scissors, and some glue to paste or cut holes.
Punched tape is not influenced by magnetic fields.
This is important in an environment full of electronic devices which all need to work properly.
Punched tape is easy to destroy, if made of paper.
This is important for cryptography.
There is special paper, that is modified so that it burns better.
Reliability: When tape was copied, very often, the copies needed to be compared, hole by hole.
Rewinding the tape is difficult, and often caused problems.
Some systems used folded paper.
This could simply be fed in the other direction to rewind.
Low information density: Data that is bigger than a few dozen kilobytes becomes impractical to handle.
The Missouri State University is a public university which is in Springfield, Missouri.

Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio) (, , ; born on 17 December 1936) is the 266th and current pope of the Roman Catholic Church.
He was elected on 13 March 2013.
He chose the name Francis to honor St. Francis of Assisi.
Francis is the first Jesuit pope.
He is also the first pope in more than a millennium who is not European.
He is the first pope ever to come from the Americas, and the first from the Southern Hemisphere.
From 1998 until he was elected as the pope, Francis was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires.
Throughout his life, both as an individual and a religious leader, he has been known for his humility, his concern for the poor, and his commitment to dialogue as a way to build bridges between people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and faiths.
He has expressed concern about the effects of global warming (climate change).
In his 2015 encyclical Laudato si' , he wrote about these issues, and others.
Pope Francis was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He was one of the children of Mario Bergoglio, an Italian railway accountant, and Regina Maria Bergoglio (née Sívori), a housewife.
He received a master's degree in philosophy and theology from the University of Buenos Aires.
After that, he studied at the seminary in Villa Devoto.
He entered the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) on 11 March 1958.
Career before becoming Pope
Jesuit
Bergoglio became a member of the Society of Jesus in 1958.
He was made a priest in 1969.
In 1973, he was named "provincial" or head of the Jesuits in Argentina.
In the mid-1980s, he began working on a doctoral degree at Sankt Georgen Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology in Frankfurt, Germany.
Pope John Paul II appointed Bergoglio the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998.
During the 2001 Consistory, Pope named Bergoglio as a Cardinal.
Meeting of Al-Sistani with Pope Francis
Pope Francis and Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani met on 6 March 2021 for at most 40 minutes, part of the time alone except for interpreters, in the Shiite cleric’s modest home in the city of Najaf.
Every detail was scrutinized ahead of time in painstaking, behind-the-scenes preparations that touched on everything from shoes to seating arrangements.
Pope Francis said in a statement that there should be "unity" between followers of different religions.
Cardinal Bergoglio was elected on 13 March 2013.
He chose the name "Francis" to honor St. Francis of Assisi.
Just after he was elected, Francis told a newspaper how he chose the new name:
"Let me tell you a story," he said.
He then [explained] how during the conclave he had sat next to Cardinal Cláudio Hummes of Brazil, whom he called "a great friend."
After the voting, Cardinal Hummes "hugged me, he kissed me and he said, 'Don't forget the poor!'
And that word entered here," the pope said, pointing to his heart.
"I thought of wars, while the voting continued, though all the votes," he said ... "And Francis is the man of peace.
And that way the name came about, came into my heart: Francis of Assisi."
Pope Francis is the first pope to speak to a session of the United States Congress.
He spoke there during his visit to the United States on 24 September 2015.
Personally, Pope Francis likes to read books by authors such as Friedrich Hölderlin, Jorge Luis Borges or Fyodor Dostoevsky.
He likes to watch movies of Italian neorealism, and likes to go to the opera.
He is also interested in football.
He is an active member of San Lorenzo de Almagro, which is one of the teams in the Primera División league.
In 2015, Pope Francis released a progressive rock album titled Wake Up!.
Celibacy of priests
When Bergoglio was a Cardinal, his views about the celibacy of priests were recorded in the book On Heaven and Earth.
The book is a record of conversations he had with a Buenos Aires rabbi.
In this book, he said that celibacy "is a matter of discipline, not of faith.
It can change."
However, he added: "For the moment, I am in favor of maintaining celibacy, with all its [positive and negative parts], because we have ten centuries of good experiences rather than failures [...] Tradition has weight and validity."
He also said that "in the Byzantine, Ukrainian, Russian, and Greek Catholic Churches [...] the priests can be married, but the bishops have to be celibate".
He said that many of those in Western Catholicism who are pushing for more discussion about the issue do so from a position of "pragmatism", based on a loss of manpower.
He states that "If, hypothetically, Western Catholicism were to review the issue of celibacy, I think it would do so for cultural reasons (as in the East), not so much as a universal option."
He emphasized that, in the meantime, the rule must be strictly followed, and any priest who cannot obey it "has to leave the ministry."
National Catholic Reporter Vatican analyst Thomas Reese, also a Jesuit, called Bergoglio's use of "conditional language" regarding the rule of celibacy "remarkable."
He said that phrases like "for the moment" and "for now" are "not the kind of qualifications one normally hears when bishops and cardinals discuss celibacy."
Beliefs about homosexuality
Pope Francis supports the Catholic teaching that homosexual acts are immoral.
However, he has said that gay people should be treated with respect.
Bergoglio is against same-sex marriage.
In 2011, he called it "the Devil's work".
Argentina considered legalizing same-sex marriage in 2010.
At that time, Bergoglio was against this legislation.
He called it a "real and dire anthropological throwback."
In July 2010, while the law was under consideration, he wrote a letter to Argentina's cloistered nuns in which he said:
After L'Osservatore Romano reported this, several priests expressed their support for the law.
Gay people believe that the church's opposition and Bergoglio's language actually helped the law get passed.
They also think that Catholic officials reacted by taking a less harsh tone in later debates on social issues such as parental surrogacy.
On 29 July 2013, Pope Francis gave an interview to some journalists who were traveling with him.
When asked if there should be gay priests, Pope Francis replied:  Afterwards, when asked if women should become priests, Francis replied:
Beliefs about non-Catholics
[Since] many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church, and others are not believers, I give this blessing from my heart, in silence, to each one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you, but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.
It is very rare for a Pope to bless people who are not Catholics.
By doing this, the Pope was showing that he accepted people who belonged to different religions.
In a speech on 20 March, Pope Francis said that some people do not follow any religion, but still search "for truth, goodness and beauty."
He said these people are important allies in protecting human dignity; making peace; and caring for the Earth.
This meant the Pope was saying atheists could be allies of the Catholic Church, instead of enemies.
In the same speech, the Pope said that Catholic and Jewish people are connected "by a most special spiritual bond."
To Muslim leaders at the speech he said: "[To] Muslims, who worship God as one, living and merciful, and [call on] him in prayer... I greatly appreciate your presence ... [In] it, I see a ... sign of a will to grow in mutual esteem and in cooperation for the common good of humanity."
In September 2013, Francis wrote a letter that was published in La Repubblica newspaper.
The letter said that atheists would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences and did what they thought was right.
The newspaper's editor, who is not a Catholic, wrote back with a list of questions.
Francis wrote back:
You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don't believe and who don't seek the faith.
I start by saying—and this is the [most important] thing—that God's mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and [truly sorry] heart.
The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.
Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience.
