NATIONAL PERIODIC TABLE DAY
On February 7th, National Periodic Table Day recognizes the publication of the first table of elements. We also look at how the periodic table has changed through the years.
The periodic table has a long history. It and the discovery of elements impacted science in many ways. Ancient man only knew of a few elements. However, by the 1st century A.D., mankind knew about the elements of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin, mercury, sulfur, and carbon. Over time, we added arsenic, antimony, phosphorus, and zinc to our discoveries. By 1809, there were 47 discovered elements. It was time to organize, and Johann Döbereiner made one of the earliest attempts to do that. He organized the elements in 1817 into groups of three, or triads, based on similar qualities.
John Newlands
On February 7, 1863, English chemist John Newlands published one of the first table of elements. Newlands divided the known 56 elements into 11 groups based on the "Law of Octaves." His table suggested that anyone element will have similar properties to elements eight places before and behind it on the table.
Arranging the elements according to increasing atomic weight, Newlands was one of the first scientists to detect a pattern to the properties of elements. As a result, his table left room for new discoveries. It even predicted future discoveries would complete the table. In fact, Newlands correctly predicted the discovery of Germanium.
Future Discoveries
While parts of Newlands' periodic table contained flaws, so did other later proposed tables. In 1869, chemist Dimitri Mendeleev published a paper developing a new periodic table. Mendeleev's table also arranged the elements based on atomic mass. By this time, science had only identified 60 of the over 100 elements we know today.
As on previous tables, inaccuracies were attributed to some of those elements. While Mendeleev corrected some of these inaccuracies, he didn't correct them all. Mendeleev made assumptions about others causing elements to be placed incorrectly on the table. Like Newlands, Mendeleev also predicted discoveries, and he correctly predicted the properties of five elements and their compounds.
The discoveries throughout Scot William Ramsay's career from 1892 to 1910, along with John William Strutt, Morris Travers, and Frederick Soddy led to the identification of the noble gasses. In 1904, the Nobel Prize was awarded to Ramsay for discovering five elements.
Henry Moseley
Henry Moseley, an experimental physicist, contributed to the development of the modern periodic table. In 1913, Moseley discovered that each element has a specific number of protons. As a result, four new chemical elements were later found, though not during his lifetime.
Since the early 20th century, the periodic table remains largely unchanged. However, the 21st century is still young. Some researchers suggest new approaches to the periodic table while maintaining its integrity as one of the most valuable tools in the science of chemistry. The current table tallies a total of 118 elements.

Mardi Gras expert Arthur Hardy: Take the long view on Carnival. Change has been good.
I’m not certain that wisdom comes with age, but perspective does—the ability to lend some context to events and trends. So when asked to comment on the “state of Mardi Gras,” I take the long view—how has the celebration evolved since my personal coverage of Carnival began in 1977 when our first Mardi Gras Guide debuted?
For instance: is Mardi Gras in trouble because Jefferson Parish lost four parades this year? Not if you know that 72 krewes have stopped parading since 1977, only to have been replaced by clubs that now thrive. It is safe to say that Carnival has never been stronger. The variety, quantity and quality of parades, and the size of total krewe membership, are at an all-time high. And, according to a report issued last month by Tulane University, the economic impact is nearly $900 million, up from $33 million in 1978.
Perhaps the most significant change is how much more diverse Mardi Gras is now. Three of the five biggest parading krewes are now female clubs. The birth of the pre-season, alternative and very inclusive groups such as Krewe du Vieux, Chewbacchus, and Boheme offers a less expensive and creative way to participate. Adult marching groups like the Pussyfooters, the 610 Stompers, and the Amelia EarHawts, have provided the opportunity for middle aged, non-float riding folk to join in the fun.
In 1977 New Orleans had 12,000 hotel rooms; today we have 40,000. Back then the biggest krewe was Endymion with 700 members; in 2024 Iris leads with 3,600 members. A dozen clubs have more than 1,000 members. There were no back-to-back parades in the late 1970s. Now double and triple-header parades flourish. While double-decker floats were once a big thing, tandem floats are commonplace today. Doubloons and cups were once Carnival’s top throws, but now krewe logo merchandise and signature throws compete for attention. Environmentally friendly throws are now being introduced.
The geography of Mardi Gras has changed. Gone are neighborhood parades, having been replaced by a standardized uptown parade route. The growth of parades in St. Tammany Parish has been significant.
The expansion in the parade calendar has produced a schedule of more parades on the first weekend than the one before Fat Tuesday. And crowds on Mardi Gras weekend surpass those on Mardi Gras day.
The return of satirical parade themes has been welcomed, as has the post-Katrina emergence of more than a dozen Baby Doll groups, and the return of the Black Masking Indians. Gay ball clubs, once nearly decimated by the AIDS epidemic, are again strong.
Other significant trends—while in 1980 some twelve parades featured celebrity monarchs, now only Bacchus, Endymion, and Orpheus continue to import stars; the “Girls Gone Wild” national image of Mardi Gras in the 1990s has shifted toward a more family friendly and accurate portrayal of the celebration; the king cake industry has exploded, as has the production of Carnival apparel and accessories; parade progress cars have been replaced by more sophisticated parade trackers; the City’s oversight has resulted in new parade ordinances and the creation of the Mayor’s Mardi Gras Advisory Council.
Media coverage has expanded and improved, and accurate information is readily available with most krewes hosting their own websites. Non-parading events such as the Lundi Gras celebration, the Barkus dog parade, Family Gras, and Samedi Gras, have added a new dimension to Carnival.
In 1977 nearly 60 Carnival balls were staged at the Municipal Auditorium, which has been shuttered since 2005. Venues now include hotels, the Convention Center, the Pontchartrain Center, and the New Orleans Country Club.
There has been a newfound interest in Carnival history, with dozens of books published, as well as documentaries and a series of individual krewe histories. And the Louisiana State Museum at the Presbytere features a permanent Mardi Gras exhibit. Community philanthropy has become popular with several krewes.
Most influential krewes to debut since 1977 include Orpheus, d’Etat, and Muses. The biggest stories during the period were the 1979 NOPD strike, the 1991 anti-discrimination ordinance, the 2006 Katrina recovery, and the COVID-canceled 2021 Mardi Gras. Carnival has survived them all. The addition of assistance by outside agencies for the understaffed NOPD has answered the latest challenge to the celebration.
Arthur Hardy is the founder of Arthur Hardy's Mardi Gras Guide, an annual, one-stop Carnival season and Mardi Gras magazine packed with club, krewe and organization information, parade routes, ball details and history. It is now published by The Times-Picayune with Arthur Hardy.

LSU Gymnastics Achieves Highest Score of the Season Nationally With Record-Breaking Performance
- LSU’s women’s gymnastics team sets a record-breaking score of 198.475, the highest in program history and best in the nation this season.
- LSU and Oklahoma are the only teams to achieve scores of 198 or better twice this season, with LSU moving up to the third position in the rankings.
- Despite their success, coach Jay Clark emphasizes the need for improvement and consistency as LSU prepares to face Georgia.
LSU’s women’s gymnastics team achieved a record-breaking score of 198.475 in their recent match against Arkansas, making it not only the highest score in the history of the program but also the best score in the nation this season.
Their exceptional performance surpassed the 198.375 score achieved by the reigning NCAA champions, Oklahoma, in a three-team meet against California and Arizona State. LSU and Oklahoma are among the six schools to have registered scores of 198 or better this season, and they are the only teams to have achieved this feat twice.
As a result of their impressive score, LSU has moved up from the fifth position to the third position in the RoadtoNationals.com rankings. Their season average stands at 197.590, placing them behind Oklahoma (198.045) and California (197.700). Utah (197.485) and Kentucky (197.480) follow in fourth and fifth place, respectively.
LSU also claimed the top spot nationally in the floor exercise event, with a score of 49.775 that tied their program record. Their season average for this event is 49.540. Additionally, they rank second in vault, third in uneven bars, and 13th in balance beam.
Despite their outstanding performance, LSU coach Jay Clark believes there is room for improvement. He stated that while his team did well, they did not reach a level of perfection and need to continue striving for improvement in all areas.
Next up, LSU (5-2, 2-1 SEC) will face off against No. 19 ranked Georgia on the road. Georgia has struggled this season with a 1-4 overall record and a 0-4 record in the SEC. However, they recently achieved their season-best score in a close loss to Florida (197.450-197.300).
In their previous road match, LSU had a shaky performance and lost to Missouri with a score of 197.325-197.225. Coach Clark emphasized the importance of consistency in their performances, stating that they need to maintain the same level of quality each week, regardless of the final score.
LSU’s gymnastics team has showcased their exceptional skills and achieved remarkable scores this season. With their sights set on further improvement, they are determined to maintain their high level of performance in their upcoming matches.

Which lake is the largest by volume in the world?
Caspian Sea
Lake Victoria
Lake Superior
Lake Baikal
The freshwater lake with the greatest volume is Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia, with an estimated volume of 23,615.390 cubic kilometres (5,665.63 cubic miles). Located in a geological rift valley in south-eastern Siberia, Lake Baikal is 636 kilometres (395 miles) long, with an average width of only 48 kilometres(30 miles). Soundings taken from the lake's Central Basin revealed it to be 1,642 metres (5,387 feet) deep, also making it the world's deepest lake.
The lake has an area of 31,722 square kilometres (12,247 square miles).
Baikal's depth and volume are based on the findings of a bottom-relief survey carried out by Navy Hydrographic Survey expeditions in 1979–87, which were compiled into bathymetric maps in 1992. This data was digitized, corrected and updated with material from other surveys in 1999. Funding for the project was provided by INTAS (International Association for the promotion of cooperation with scientists from the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union).
The revised depth and volume of Lake Baikal were published in the report "Computer-based Bathymetric Map of Lake Baikal", which appeared in Doklady Earth Sciences, vol. 408, issue 1, in May 2006. The authors of the report are P P Sherstyankin, S P Alekseev, A M Abramov, K G Stavrov, M De Batist, R His, M Canals and J L Casamor.

What does "tintinnabulation" mean?
tintinnabulation tin-ti-nab-yuh-ley-shuhn
Definition: the ringing or sound of bells
Origin: The word "tintinnabulation" comes from the Latin word "tintinnabulum", which means "bell". Edgar Allan Poe popularized the word in his poem "The Bells" in 1849.
Example: The tintinnabulation of the church bells announced the beginning of the wedding ceremony.
The ringing or sound of bells is a common occurrence in human history. From church bells to school bells, bells have been used to signify important events or to call attention to something. The sound of bells can be calming or exciting, depending on the context. In many cultures, bells are associated with spirituality or the divine, and are used in religious ceremonies. The sound of bells can also be used for practical purposes, such as to signal the beginning or end of a class or work period. Overall, the tintinnabulation of bells has played an important role in human society and continues to do so today.

NATIONAL FETTUCCINE ALFREDO DAY
On February 7th, National Fettuccine Alfredo Day celebrates one of the world's favorite ways to enjoy a plate of fettuccine.
Fettuccine alfredo enjoys a history as rich as its flavor. Created in 1908, fettuccine was made out of love and concern by an Italian restauranteur. Alfredo di Lelio's concern for his pregnant wife's lack of appetite caused him to put his talents to work. The birth of their first son depended on it. His recipe of noodles, cheese, and butter not only encouraged her to eat but she also inspired him to put it on the menu, too. Since then, the century-old dish has been satisfying pasta lovers around the world ever since.
Not only that but fettuccine alfredo lovers experiment with the dish in several ways. Add shrimp, mushrooms or spinach. The meal also pairs well with other vegetables and proteins, too. Cut the richness with a white wine and finish with a fruit dessert.
HOW TO OBSERVE FETTUCCINE ALFREDO DAY
Celebrate with a big dish of fettuccine Alfredo! Invite friends and family to join you, too. As you know, it's not a celebration if you don't. Make it yourself (we provide a recipe). Or, go to your favorite Italian restaurant. When you do, be sure to give them a shout out.
While you're celebrating, share your photos, recipes, and more using #FettuccineAlfredoDay to post on social media.
NATIONAL FETTUCCINE ALFREDO DAY HISTORY
The earliest printed record of the observance we've found is a January 26, 2005, Akron Beacon Journal article listing upcoming February food holidays. Several newspapers across the nation follow suit, including the list in their food pages. But, none of them included their source or how long the day has been celebrated. However, the grandson of Alfredo Di Lelio contacted National Day Calendar in 2015 to provide the history behind the delicious pasta dish. We provide his letter below.
From Ines Di Lelio, grandson of Alfredo di Lelio
The following is the History of Alfredo di Lelio, who created in 1908 "Fettuccine All 'Alfredo" (Fettuccine Alfredo). It's now served by his nephew Ines Di Lelio, at the restaurant "Il Vero Alfredo" - "Alfredo Di Roma" in Rome, Piazza Augusto Imperatore 30.
"With reference of your article (for which I thank you), I have the pleasure to tell you the history of my grandfather Alfredo Di Lelio, who is the creator of 'Fettuccine all’Alfredo' ('Fettuccine Alfredo') in 1908 in the 'trattoria' run by his mother Angelina in Rome, Piazza Rosa (Piazza disappeared in 1910 following the construction of the Galleria Colonna / Sordi).
This 'trattoria' of Piazza Rosa has become the 'birthplace of fettuccine all’Alfredo'. More specifically, as is well known to many people who love the 'fettuccine all’Alfredo', this famous dish in the world was invented by Alfredo Di Lelio concerned about the lack of appetite of his wife Ines, who was pregnant with my father Armando (born February 26, 1908). Alfredo di Lelio opened his restaurant “Alfredo” in 1914 in Rome and in 1943, during the war, he sold the restaurant to others outside his family."
Staying in the Family
"In 1950 Alfredo Di Lelio decided to reopen with his son Armando his restaurant in Piazza Augusto Imperatore n.30 'Il Vero Alfredo' ('Alfredo di Roma'), whose fame in the world has been strengthened by his nephew Alfredo and that now managed by me, with the famous “gold cutlery” (fork and spoon gold) donated in 1927 by two well-known American actors Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks (in gratitude for the hospitality). See also the website of 'Il Vero Alfredo'.(with news also about franchising).
I celebrate every year (as this year) in my restaurant (founded by my grandfather Alfredo Di Lelio) the USA Holiday of. fettuccine all'Alfredo (February 7). I must clarify that other restaurants "Alfredo" in Rome do not belong to the family tradition of 'Il Vero Alfredo – Alfredo di Roma' and I inform you that the restaurant 'Il Vero Alfredo –Alfredo di Roma' is in the registry of 'Historic Shops of Excellence' of the City of Rome Capitale.
Best regards Ines Di Lelio"

Wordplay and Wit: Exploring the Art of Clever Language
Language is a powerful tool that humans have developed to communicate, express emotions, and convey ideas. However, language can also be used in a playful and clever manner, creating a delightful form of expression known as wordplay. Wordplay involves manipulating words and phrases, often using puns, double entendres, or clever word choices, to create humorous or thought-provoking effects. In this blog post, we will dive into the world of wordplay and wit, exploring the art of clever language and its various forms.
The Power of Puns
One of the most well-known forms of wordplay is the pun. A pun is a play on words that exploits multiple meanings of a term or uses words that sound similar but have different meanings. Puns are often used to add humor or create a clever twist in a sentence. For example, "I used to be a baker, but I couldn't make enough dough" is a pun that plays on the double meaning of "dough" as both a type of bread and slang for money.
Puns can be found in various aspects of our lives, from witty one-liners to clever advertising slogans. They can be used to lighten the mood, create a memorable phrase, or simply entertain. However, crafting a good pun requires a keen understanding of language and a knack for finding connections between words that others might overlook.
Double Entendres: Language with a Twist
Double entendres are another form of wordplay that relies on using a word or phrase that has two different meanings, often one of which is risqué or suggestive. Double entendres can be found in literature, comedy, and everyday conversations, adding a layer of complexity and amusement to the language.
These clever word choices often involve a play on words, allowing the speaker to imply a hidden meaning while maintaining plausible deniability. For example, the statement "I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down!" uses the double entendre of "put down" to imply both physically placing the book down and being unable to stop reading it due to its engaging nature.
Double entendres can be a delicate balancing act, as they must be clever enough to be entertaining but not too explicit as to offend or alienate the audience. When used effectively, they can create a sense of fun and intrigue, making the listener or reader feel clever for catching the hidden meaning.
Wit and Wisdom: Harnessing the Power of Clever Language
Wit, often associated with quick thinking and cleverness, is closely related to wordplay. Wit involves using language in a creative and intelligent way, often to make a sharp observation or deliver a clever retort. Wit can take many forms, from clever wordplay to sarcastic remarks or clever turns of phrase.
Witty individuals have the ability to think on their feet and find the perfect words to express their thoughts in a memorable and amusing way. Their cleverness adds an element of entertainment to conversations and can make even mundane topics more engaging. Wit can also be seen in written works, where authors use clever language to entertain and captivate readers.
Exploring Cultural Wordplay
Wordplay is not limited to a specific language or culture. In fact, different languages and cultures have their own unique forms of wordplay that reflect their linguistic and cultural peculiarities. Exploring wordplay in different cultures can be a fascinating way to gain insight into the intricacies of language and the ways in which humor is created and appreciated.
For example, the Japanese language is rich in wordplay, with a particular form known as "oyaji gags" involving puns and clever word choices. In Chinese, wordplay is often used in idioms and proverbs, adding depth and complexity to their meanings. By delving into the wordplay of different cultures, we can broaden our understanding of language and appreciate the diversity of human expression.
The Fine Line Between Cleverness and Confusion
While wordplay and wit can be entertaining and thought-provoking, they can also be misunderstood or misinterpreted. Clever language choices may confuse or alienate some individuals, especially those who are not familiar with the cultural references or linguistic nuances being used. It is important to strike a balance between cleverness and clarity, ensuring that the intended message is effectively communicated without leaving the audience perplexed.
Additionally, wordplay and wit may not always be appropriate in every context. What may be amusing in a casual conversation among friends may come across as inappropriate or offensive in a professional setting. It is essential to consider the audience and the context when using clever language, ensuring that it is well-received and appropriate for the situation.
Embracing the Art of Clever Language
Wordplay and wit add a touch of creativity and amusement to our language. They allow us to explore the intricacies of words, challenge our linguistic abilities, and create connections that entertain and engage. Whether it's a well-crafted pun, a clever double entendre, or a witty remark, the art of clever language invites us to appreciate the beauty and versatility of words.
So, next time you come across a clever play on words or find yourself crafting a witty remark, take a moment to celebrate the art of clever language. Embrace the power of wordplay and wit, and let it infuse your conversations and writings with humor, intelligence, and a touch of linguistic brilliance.

1900: View of Canal Street
Photographer Alexander Alison captured this view of Canal Street looking back toward the river, surrounded by mule-drawn carriages and wagons as well as the usual streetcars.
In the center background are the ornate facades of the Grand Opera House and the Maison Blanche building. While the Grand Opera House building remains, having been converted from Kress store in 1910. The Mercier building that became Maison Blanche was also torn down and replaced by the present structure, now the Ritz-Carleton Hotel which includes the Grand Opera House/Kress building.

Red beans and rice are traditionally served on Mondays, which was also the traditional wash day in New Orleans, allowing for the time it took to cook the beans.
Here we see Buster Holmes, of Holmes Restaurant & Bar, in a kitchen ladling red beans and rice onto a plate. His popular soulfood restaurant in the French Quarter (at the corner of Orleans and Burgundy streets until it closed in the mid 1980s) was a favorite stop of brass bands marching at Mardi Gras, social club outings, and other events. He was also a vendor of red beans and rice at the earliest New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. [[Buster Holmes at the Longshoremen's Recreation Center, 1969] photo by Jules L.

Chiefs vs. Niners
The defending champion Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will face off in Super Bowl LVIII after both teams won their respective conference championship games yesterday.
The Chiefs will be making their fourth trip to the title game in five years after beating the Baltimore Ravens on the road, 17-10. Tight end Travis Kelce caught all 11 passes thrown his way, including a touchdown, en route to breaking Hall-of-Famer Jerry Rice's record for all-time playoff receptions (151). The game turned on a pair of endzone turnovers by the Ravens in the fourth quarter.
San Francisco topped the Detroit Lions 34-31 at home, holding the Lions to seven points in the second half and overcoming a 24-7 halftime deficit to reach their first championship since 2019. Star running back Christian McCaffrey ran for 90 yards (4.5 yards per carry) and two touchdowns.
Super Bowl LVII takes place Sunday, Feb. 11 (6:30 pm ET, CBS), in Las Vegas, with R&B star Usher headlining the halftime show.

New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, Feb 1
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.
Wolf Moon (January): Inspired by the cries of hungry wolves.
Snow Moon (February): A nod to the month’s often heavy snowfall.
Worm Moon (March): Named after the earthworms that signal thawing grounds.
Pink Moon (April): In honor of the blossoming pink wildflowers.

Flower Moon (May): Celebrating the bloom of flowers.
Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.
Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.
