Attended consumer forum alone against Rizwan the builder



Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev was born in 1834 in a small hamlet somewhere in Siberia.

He was the youngest of the 15 or more siblings of his family (the sheer number is frightening!).

His father was a teacher of fine arts who first became blind and later died when Mendeleev was just a small boy.

His mother was forced to work and she tried to start the glass factory which their family once owned.

Luck again ran out as the factory was destroyed and gutted by a fire.

In 1849, when Mendeleev was just 15 years old, his mother took him across the entire breath of Russia from Siberia to Moscow for his higher education.

What a mother!

Bad luck again struck them when the University of Moscow refused to accept him.

His mother took him to Saint Petersburg and got him admitted there at the Main Pedagogical Institute.

And it was here that he did his graduation and also managed to contract tuberculosis.

Somehow, without any anti Koch's treatment, he survived this malady by taking a break at at Crimean Peninsula near the Black Sea.

He went on later to do his masters and PhD in chemistry.

By 1871, at the age of 34 he had transformed Saint Petersburg (both the Technological Institute and the State University) into an internationally recognized center for research in chemistry.

But what did he actually did to enhance our understanding of elements?

I think we neither have time nor the space to deal with it today.

Let this strange planet that this tilted 23.4° away from the perpendicular of its orbital plane make yet another rotation.

Just by the way, earth's rotation is an important hint or clue that almost 5 billion years ago our solar system formed from cloud and dust, collapsing, flattening and rotating faster and faster like an ice skater who spins faster and faster as she brings her arms in.

Good night mon ami and my fellow cousin ape.
