Travertine Table

Travertine


Travertine is a white concretionary form of calcium carbonate that is usually hard and semicrystalline. It is deposited from the water of mineral springs (especially hot springs) or streams holding lime in solution. Extensive deposits exist at Tivoli, Italy, near Rome. The largest building in the world constructed largely of travertine is the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. Another notable building using travertine extensively is the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California. The travertine used in the construction was imported from Tivoli. The website of the Getty Center contains http://www.getty.edu/visit/architecture.html more information about the use of travertine in its construction, including some videos of travertine being quarried and cut for use.

Tables


:''For other uses, see Table (disambiguation).'' Tables is a generic name given to a class of board games similar to Backgammon. During the 16th century the name Tables was sometimes also used to describe chess. Games in the Tables family include,
  • Irish, popular 17th century British game.
  • Astronomical Tables, 13th century, 7-sided game.
  • Dublets
  • Imperator, game described in the Alfonso X manuscript.
  • El Mundo, four player game described in the Alfonso X manuscript
  • Six, Deuce, and Ace, game described in the Alfonso X manuscript.
  • Ticktack
  • Trictrac, a more complicated game similar to ticktack, believed to be French.
  • Brädspel Games that it is thought may be in the Tables family,
  • t'shu-p'u, Chinese game.
  • wu-sho, Chinese game.
  • thshan-han, Chinese game.
  • po-lo-sai-hi, Chinese game.
  • shwan-liu, Chinese game.
  • Nard, 8th century arab game.
  • Tabula, a. 7th c. Roman game.
  • Tablisti, Greek game. Category:Board games

    How To Use Tables


    Tables can be useful for a variety of content presentation on Wikipedia. Traditional HTML table markup is often difficult to edit, especially for newcomers. It has been replaced by a simplified wiki syntax.

    Converting from HTML tables to wiki table syntax

    This can be done automatically with several of the tools listed at Meta:Help:Table#.

    When tables are appropriate

    Tables are perfect for organizing any information that is best presented in a row-and-column format. This might include:
  • Mathematical tables
  • * Multiplication tables
  • * Tables of divisors
  • * Lookup tables
  • Lists of information
  • * Equivalent words in two or more languages
  • * Person, birthdate, occupation
  • * Artist, album, year, and label Many times, a list is best left as a list. Some articles include excessively long lists which would be very difficult to edit if they were in table form. Before you format a list in table form, consider whether the information will be more clearly conveyed by virtue of having rows and columns. If so, then a table is probably a good choice. If there is no obvious benefit to having rows and columns, then a table is probably not the best choice. Tables shouldn't be used simply for layout, either. If the information you're editing isn't tabular in nature, it probably doesn't belong in a table. Try not to use tables for putting a caption under a photograph, arranging a group of links, or other strictly visual features. It makes the article harder to edit for other Wikipedians, and isn't really what tables were designed to

    How To Use Tables


    Example table

    For something as simple as an album lsiting, I really think the following is more appropriate:
  • 1980 - Ultra Wave (Warner Brothers)
  • 1988 - What's Bootsy Doin'? (Columbia) ... etc -- Tarquin 14:17 19 Jun 2003 (UTC) :I totally agree, actually... I used that mainly because it was a practical example, rather than the abstract "first heading/first cell" stuff that was there before. I wanted the first example to be simple, since it's introductory. If you could supply a better example that is equally simple, that would be great! Feel free to revise the "when tables are appropriate" section, also. -- Wapcaplet 16:37 19 Jun 2003 (UTC) :I put a multiplication table in for the first example. Seems like a better use of tables, and it's not overly complex (aside from the abundance of td elements). What do you think? -- Wapcaplet 16:48 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)

    End tags

    Why does this page recommend using the end tags </th>, </td> and </tr>? They are not required by the HTML 4.01 specification, and I don't know of any browser that needs them. They are the biggest cause of HTML errors in tables, because it's so easy to get one wrong. --Zundark 19:13 19 Jun 2003 (UTC) :Partly because the old section about tables (which used to be at Wikipedia:How to edit a page) recommended using them; partly because the http://www.w3.org/ W3C, and other web standards bodies, in general recommend them, partly because they are required by http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ XHTML 1.0, which Wikipedia may one day switch to (and it would be nasty if all the tables suddenly broke). Other reasons include: because I think it's a good idea; because it is less ambiguous and (IMHO) less error-prone; because some browsers ''do'' need them (in particular, tables without proper end tags seem to get messed up in Lynx, though I have not done much testing on it). I've seen no evidence to suggest that their usage causes

    Table Saw


    A table saw is the most common piece of large woodworking equipment. Because of its versatility, when only one piece of large woodworking machinery is owned, it will often be a table saw. The saw consists of a circular saw blade, mounted on an arbor, that is driven by an electric motor (either directly or by belt or gears). The blade protrudes through the surface of a table, which provides support for the material (usually wood) being cut.

    Modern features

    In modern table saws, the depth of the cut is varied by adjusting the amount of the blade that protrudes above the table surface: the higher the blade protrudes above the table, the deeper the cut that is made in the material. In some early table saws, the blade and arbor were fixed, and the table was moved up and down to expose more or less of the blade. The angle of cut is controlled by adjusting the angle of blade. Some earlier saws angled the table to control the cut angle.

    Types of table saws

    There are four general classes of table saws: benchtop table saws, contractor saws, cabinet saws and hybrid saws.
    Benchtop table saws
    Benchtop table saws are lightweight and are designed to operate while sitting on a table or other support. They commonly have direct drive (no v-belt or pulleys) from an universal type motor. They can be lifted by one person and carried to the job location. These saws often have parts made of steel, aluminum and plastic and are designed to be compact and light. Benchtop saws are the least expensive and least capable of the three major types, however, they can offer adequate capacity and precision for many tasks. The universal motor is not as durable or as quiet as a brushless AC motor, but offers more power relative to its size and weight. The top of a benchtop table saw is narrower than contractor and cabinet saws, so the width of stock that can be ripped is reduced. Another restriction results from the top being smaller from the front of the tabletop

    Table


    MediaWiki supports different types of table syntax: #XHTML #HTML and wiki
    		• syntax #pipe-syntax All three are supported by MediaWiki and create valid HTML output. See also HTML element#Tables. Note however that the thead, tbody, tfoot, and colgroup elements are currently not supported in MediaWiki.
