This Latin name is also the source of the English words ‘plumbing’ and ‘plumber’, due to the historic use of lead in water pipes.Įnjoyed this post & graphic? Consider supporting Compound Interest on Patreon, and get previews of upcoming posts & more! Lead’s Latin name, ‘plumbum’, likely originally derives from a language pre-dating Ancient Greek. Some of the other metals known since antiquity were given names corresponding to the planets, too, but Mercury’s is the only one that’s stuck. Alchemists considered it to be close to gold, and because of this they named it Mercury, after the planet closest to the Sun. The original English name for the element was ‘quicksilver’. Mercury’s original Latin name was actually ‘argentum vivum’ (living silver), but Latin later borrowed from the Greek ‘hydrargyros’ (liquid silver) to give ‘hydrargyrum’. The name ‘gold’, used in Germanic languages, means ‘yellow, shining metal’ many other European languages use derivatives of aurum. The Latin name for gold was ‘aurum’, meaning ‘yellow’, derived from the word ‘aurora’ (‘dawn’). Tungsten is from Swedish, and means heavy stone – somewhat apt, as it’s the seventh densest element in the periodic table. Wolfram is still used in several languages. ![]() This is from the German ‘wolf rahm’, or ‘wolf’s foam’, referring to the amount of tin ‘eaten’ by the metal during its extraction. Wolfram was named after the mineral it was found in, wolframite. ![]() Few countries refer to antimony as stibium today, despite its symbol. This word is in turn likely derived from Arabic or Egyptian. The Latin ‘stibium’ derives from the Greek word ‘stíbi’, meaning eye paint, referring to the use of antimony compounds as an ancient eye cosmetic. There’s also speculation it could be derived from the Cornish ‘stean’ due to Cornwall’s famous tin mines, though similarly, others claim that this word is merely derived from the Latin. Tin’s Latin name, ‘stannum’, may be derived from the Indo-European ‘stag’ (dripping) because tin melts at a low temperature. The country Argentina is named after silver (albeit indirectly as reference to the Río de la Plata) and is the only country to be named after a chemical element, rather than the other way around. The Latin name for silver, ‘argentum’, is thought to derive originally from an Indo-European language, likely referring to the metal’s shininess. The name was eventually simplified to ‘cuprum’, and this eventually morphed into the English version, copper. The island of Cyprus was famous centuries ago for its copper reserves. There’s no shortage of elements named after places, but copper’s name is more subtle than most. Copper’s Latin name was ‘cyprium’, which itself comes from ‘kypros’, the Greek name for Cyprus. The element is known by a myriad of various names in different languages, with some sources suggesting there are over 200 different names for it. Iron’s Latin name, ‘ferrum’, gives it its symbol Fe it simply means ‘iron’ or ‘sword’, and is possibly of Semitic origin. As with sodium, a number of modern languages still refer to potassium as kalium, and the name lends the element its chemical symbol, K. ‘Kalium’ is potassium’s Latin name, and derives from the Arabic ‘al qal īy’, meaning “calcined ashes” (the ashes left over when plant material is burned). A number of modern languages still call the element natrium instead of sodium, and it’s this name that its chemical symbol, Na, comes from. Its original source is likely to be the Arabic work ‘natrun’. Sodium’s Latin name, ‘natrium’, derives from the Greek ‘nítron’ (a name for sodium carbonate). After the periodic table of rejected element names a few days ago, questions about these elements came up, so here’s a look at their confusing symbols, along with the reasons behind them. Most of the chemical symbols for elements in the periodic table make perfect sense there are a small selection, however, that seem to bear no relation to their element’s name. ![]()

The formula for a 2 gallon canister sprayer is to add 8 ounces of Mosquito Barrier and then fill canister with water. Canister sprayers must be pumped up with air pressure and they have a wand for spraying. They typically hold from 2 to 3 gallons of liquid. ![]() They are available at most home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowe's and generally cost between $16 to $20 each for a basic model. To apply this solution, you can use a canister type sprayer. Apply on a dry lawn and do not run sprinklers for 48 hours after application. Pictured below are two examples of typical pump-up sprayers: a canister sprayer on the left and a backpack sprayer on the right.ĭo not spray if it has just rained, the foliage is wet or if rain is expected within 24 to 48 hours of application. Mosquito Barrier can be applied with with just about any pump-up sprayer from your local hardware store or nursery and range in cost from under $20 for a basic canister sprayer to about $75 for a basic backpack sprayer. You don't need an expensive gas-powered backpack sprayer to apply Mosquito Barrier in your yard. Watch Mosquito Barrier in action with The Urban Naturalist, a professional commercial applicator, in the video below: Soap helps the garlic oil mix well with water.

With the new system in place, the committee is moving forward with recording an increasing number of languages.Ĭhanges continue to be made as part of an ongoing process, Brent Meisinger, product manager in the scriptures division explained. But a more efficient process has been introduced where voice talents are provided with a high quality microphone and online recording program to produce recordings of a quality respectful of the scriptures. Previously, all audio recordings of the scriptures were done in professional studios with language coaches, script monitors, and sound engineers and producers. “The app has helped me study gospel topics more deeply and to organize my thoughts and other study materials in a way that makes sense to me,” Sister Craig said.Īnother major change, regarding the production of scripture audio recordings, began in 2014. “Using the Gospel Library app, with its unlimited margins, has allowed me to capture thoughts and impressions that otherwise might have been lost. “Just a few short years ago I never imagined that I would be using a digital device to study the scriptures,” Sister Craig said. The capabilities and functionality have improved, allowing for personalized, home-centered Gospel study experiences. Use of the Church’s Gospel Library App, which was first released as a scriptures app in January 2010, has continually increased over the years. Additionally, the introduction of a new digital press in 2013 has allowed translated editions in different languages to be more efficiently printed, even at lower quantities. The process for putting thumb tabs to mark the various books of scripture was recently revised to semi-automate an old manual process. Other changes have been made in recent years to help save time and resources in the printing of various styles of scriptures. “Most languages have three or four options for their printed scriptures.” ![]() “One of the purposes for this reduction is a movement towards more equity across languages,” said Kelly Gibson, one of the Church’s scriptures product managers. (Military pocket-size products will remain available). The styles being reduced include compact-sizes across all languages in which they are available, snap closure covers, and both brown and burgundy color options. Fourteen styles will be discontinued in the English translations which will also result in reducing six of the same styles in Spanish, and one style in Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean.Ĭredit: Intellectual Reserve, Inc., Intellectual Reserve, Inc. 15, the Church will reduce the number of styles offered for the aesthetic bindings of the scriptures. “This is where our jobs become most meaningful.” Simplifying processesĪs has been done in previous years, starting Dec. Much of their work is about helping individuals and families to simplify their lives, explained Rob Jex, one of the Church’s product managers. “Many people, from managers and linguists, to skilled producers, designers, typesetters, and press professionals help to inform all the improvements that are being made.” This simplification “has been an effort of looking at everything in our processes from beginning to end and asking, ‘Where can we improve, and what would save either time or resources?’” said Brent Meisinger, a product manager in the Church’s scripture division. And with this hastening comes the joyful imperative to simplify and focus,” she said. “We can feel the Lord hastening His work to gather Israel. Craig, second counselor in the Young Women general presidency and a member of the scriptures committee. “The leaders of the Church are setting an example in simplifying the work to help extend and increase the blessings of the Lord to individuals and families around the world,” explained Sister Michelle D. Steady improvements to websites, mobile applications, scripture products, curriculum and other materials produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been made in recent years as the Church has engaged in a conscious effort to simplify and improve its offerings to members, allowing them to focus on the core purposes of the gospel in their personal and family study. ![]() ![]() ![]() Never mind that we’ve also seen that black politicians come in flavors as un-Obaman as Herman Cain and Allen West. We’re past that, and being a pretty color will never again get a black politician walking in Obama’s footsteps that kind of adulatory reception. ![]() ![]() ( MORE: Obama: The Magical Negro Falls to Earth) He was going to get us beyond the partisan divide because, well, he’s wise, or … has been through the fire … or, well, O.K., is black. Obama sounded like a preacher, and thus a prophet. “Yes, we can!” he intoned, and everybody went crazy - but more because of the skin color of who said it than anything else. There was a time when the sheer fact of Obama’s blackness had more than a few harboring expectations beyond logic. On that, another problem of Booker’s begins with B - Barack. However, there isn’t much drama in being that kind of black leader, however you pronounce your b’s. Booker is to be commended for knowing it and acting accordingly. Of course, all indications are that this is precisely the kind of black leader that will have any real influence in American life as we move on. They see someone whose main niche seems to be sitting in suits talking to the man. He’s good at saying his name with a pop on the b that subtly communicates black identity - listen to him say, “I’m Cory Bbooker” - but he isn’t the type that excites the black nationalist or the white fellow traveler. In that, Booker disappoints those hoping he would be a black leader in the traditional sense. For all of his commitment to Newark, Booker has never hinted at seeking a radically new order - his idea has been to bring Newark in line with the way the rest of America is making money. Booker hit the ground collaborating with, for example, the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, a free-market conservative think tank (which I used to work for), and has welcomed overtures from Silicon Valley moguls (including ones setting him up with a startup, as we have learned lately). The main criticism of Booker seems to be his open embrace of the powers that be, even while he says he speaks for the poor brother on the street. Somehow the apple-cheeked quality would come off more as “family man,” and he would in general seem more “rooted,” less of a question mark. Imagine Booker as his current self in every way, except with his wife Lori and their two sons Omar and Malcolm. Forty-three is a little old for even men not to be married when they are in the public eye of politics. ( MORE: Does Cory Booker Really Want to Come to Washington?)Īnother thing that skews his reception is that he doesn’t have a wife and kids. By all appearances, it’s heartfelt - but in this age, it can’t help seeming a tad fake to some, or even eerie, leaving some observers wondering when the real guy is going to show up. Everything Booker does, including his just-so speeches and talk-show appearances, is so facelessly straight-ahead that he is almost oddly free of irony or attitude for a modern politician. We will recall, for instance, the heroics in Newark - saving someone from a burning building, living in a grim housing project himself, etc. Some of the Cory Booker fatigue is due to the choirboy earnestness. ![]() The bright-eyed young hero the media and blue America fell in love with 10 years ago for his bid to take over ailing Newark from a black-power machine gone to seed is increasingly processed as a bit of an empty suit. While the Newark mayor easily won the Democratic primary for the Senate race in New Jersey this week, some liberal commentators were rolling their eyes.

On the Italian side, Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, Duca d’Aosta (1869-1931) and commander of the 3 rd Army, was now in charge of any offensive against Gorizia. ![]() Furthermore, they planned to use poison gas for counterattacks. Concrete and iron structures replaced previous rock-based protections. The Austrians reinforced their trenches on the Carso plateau and at the Gorizia bridgehead. The armies on both sides suffered significant losses during 1915 and used the first months of 1916 to reorganize and strengthen their positions. The Wave of 1916 and the Conquest of Gorizia ↑ Reorganization Efforts ↑ Notwithstanding that, he encouraged the offensive efforts of Cadorna in order to keep the Austro-Hungarians under pressure. In the wider context, French General Joseph Joffre (1852-1931) realized that no major breakthrough was possible on the Italian front. On the other side of the front, the Austrians could not take advantage of high Italian losses because their numerical inferiority and the damages from Italian artillery prevented them from organizing any successful counterattack. The artillery’s inefficacy, difficult terrain and the predictability of the Italian attacks represented the biggest liability for Cadorna’s plans.ĭeserters, Losses and Stabilizing the Front ↑ĭeserters represented an important factor during the first assaults the high losses led many soldiers to escape when a new offensive was about to start, thus giving the Austrians important information on the Italian plans. These attempts continued until December 1915. This decision was senseless from a strategic point of view, but represented the ideal symbolic aim to gain popular support for the war. Thus, Cadorna decided to focus all his efforts on the conquest of Gorizia and strengthening the southern part of the front towards Trieste. The Italian artillery proved inadequate on this occasion, with short artillery barrages due to the lack of ammunition. The first attack started on 23 June 1915 with the artillery hitting the Austrian defenses and the 2 nd Army moving towards Gorizia, while the 3 rd Army tried to move towards the Carso plateau. Cadorna mistakenly thought he could compensate these weaknesses with numerical superiority and soldiers’ motivation. Ammunition and machine guns were also in low supply early in the war this problem was only resolved in 1916. The artillery proved to be inefficient in the first phase of war, consisting of around 2,200 pieces, mostly light 75mm guns. In fact, the Italians suffered from poor logistics and a lack of modern weapons, like machine guns. However, the enemy’s resistance proved to be stronger than expected and prevented the Italians from implementing their initial plan of an easy advance to Ljubljana. The primary objective was to drive the Austrians away from their main defensive line. The First Wave: 23 June – 15 December 1915 ↑ Underestimating the Enemy ↑Īfter the start of Italian military operations on, the commander in chief General Luigi Cadorna (1850-1928) decided to prepare a wide and massive offensive. ![]() ![]() Notes Custom Bumper Location : Rear Brand New in the Box - Fit and Quality Guaranteed!
