UKT note

Metallic aluminum
UKT: Though the chemical compound alum was known to the alchemists, metallic aluminum was probably unknown to them, because the metal was very difficult to produce. It was isolated by Hans Christian Oersted in Demark in 1825, and secured in pure form by Friedrich Wöhler in 1827. It remained a curiosity and a semi-precious metal for a long time, until Charles Martin Hall (a hero to me in my student days as a budding chemist) discovered a cheap method to produce it.

While Hans Christian Oersted is acknowledged as the first to isolate aluminum in 1825 in Copenhagen, Denmark, the eminent German chemist Friedrich Wöhler is generally regarded as the first to secure a pure sample of the element by chemical reduction in 1827. The intriguing international tale of the discovery of the economical production of aluminum independently by two young men, the American Charles M. Hall and the Frenchman Paul L. T. Héroult, via electrolysis of alumina dissolved in cryolite, is well documented. Certainly, the aluminum industry as we know it today is due to the creative genius of Hall and Héroult.

alum n. 1. Any of various double sulfates of a trivalent metal such as aluminum, chromium, or iron and a univalent metal such as potassium or sodium, especially aluminum potassium sulfate, AlK(SO₄ )₂ ·12H₂O, widely used in industry as clarifiers, hardeners, and purifiers and medicinally as topical astringents and styptics. [Middle English from Old French from Latin alūmen] -- AHTD

aluminum n. Symbol Al 1. A silvery-white, ductile metallic element, the most abundant in the earth's crust but found only in combination, chiefly in bauxite. Having good conductive and thermal properties, it is used to form many hard, light, corrosion-resistant alloys. Atomic number 13; atomic weight 26.98; melting point 660.2 °C; boiling point 2,467 °C; specific gravity 2.69; valence 3. -- AHTD

Hall, Charles Martin . 1863-1914 1. American chemist who developed an electrolytic method of economically producing aluminum from bauxite (1886) and was a founder of the Aluminum Company of America (1888).

Myanmar lunar year
The first lunar month is {tan-hku:} with 29 days. It is close to the Spring Equinox in March. The first day of the first month is not celebrated as the new year day. The second lunar month has 30 days. Lunar months have alternating 29 and 30 days. In order to correct to the solar year, a leap "month" is inserted every 3 years or so, and it is the duty of a body of officials recognized by the government, to make minute calculations to declare when to insert the leap month. The body of officials in charge of the calendar is made up of astrologers (in reality indigenous astronomers), and this practice has directly descended from the days predating Gottama Buddha.
   Myanmar celebrates the solar new year and it falls in about the middle of April, and so in reality the Solar New Year falls in the month of {tan-hku:}. The exact moment of the beginning of the Solar New Year is the moment when the Sun passes into the Constellation Aries form Pisces, and it is also the duty of the official calendar body to make minute calculations to arrive at the exact moment. In order to make up for the precession, a period of 4 or 5 days is declared as the "washing period" when the people celebrated by throwing clear water on each other.
