	Periodic table block - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A block of the periodic table of elements is a set of adjacent groups.
		Each block is named after its characteristic orbital; thus, the blocks are:
		Blocks: s-block - p-block - d-block - f-block - g-block

	USGS Photo Glossary: block
		This block was ejected into the air by an explosion caused by the collapse of an active lava delta at Kilauea Volcano, Hawai`i.
		A volcanic block is a solid rock fragment greater than 64 mm in diameter that was ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption.
		Blocks commonly consist of solidified pieces of old lava flows that were part of a volcano's cone.

	CLHS: Special Operator BLOCK
		At any point lexically contained within forms, return-from can be used with the given name to return control and values from the block form, except when an intervening block with the same name has been established, in which case the outer block is shadowed by the inner one.
		Once established, a block may only be exited once, whether by normal return or explicit return.
		block establishes a block named name and then evaluates forms as an implicit progn.

	Sliding Block Tutorial
		The amount of acceleration is determined by acceleration due to gravity, the angle of the plane, and the coefficient of friction of the block with the plane.
		As it slides, the simulated distance that the block has moved is displayed in the lower-right corner, and the amount of simulated time that has passed is displayed at the top.
		We assume that the ramp is of length L and that the block stops moving when it reaches the bottom.

	The Problem With Block Scheduling
		After implementing block scheduling, math SAT scores are down 11 points at Wasson and verbal SAT scores dropped 17 points, based on their published before and after data on the Internet as of 1995.
		This is one of several pages on the problems of block scheduling, a major educational "reform" that is being implemented across the country in spite of serious evidence that it is harmful to education.
		The adjusted scores for block schools were thus increased to "control for" the lower homework time, though the magnitude of the adjustment due to homework is unclear.

	Block Ciphers
		To decrypt, the ciphertext is broken into L and R blocks, and the key and the R block are run through the hash function to get the same hash result used in the last cycle of encryption; notice that the R block was unchanged in the last encryption cycle.
		The disadvantage of CBC is that the encryption of a data block becomes dependent on all the blocks prior to it.
		The general operation of all block ciphers is the same - a given number of bits of plaintext (a block) is encrypted into a block of ciphertext of the same size.

	Visual formatting model
		If a block box (that does not float and is not absolutely positioned) follows the run-in box, the run-in box becomes the first inline box of the block box.
		Any floated box becomes a block box that is shifted to the left or right until its outer edge touches the containing block edge or the outer edge of another float.
		When a block box overlaps, the background and borders of the block box are rendered behind the float and are only be visible where the box is transparent.

	GNU Core-utils: Block size
		The default block size is chosen by examining the following environment variables in turn; the first one that is set determines the block size.
		The block size used for display is independent of any filesystem block size.
		If none of the above environment variables are set, the block size currently defaults to 1024 bytes in most contexts, but this number may change in the future.

	Federal Trade Commission
		Blocking is sometimes also used by restaurants for anticipated sizeable bills (like large groups at dinner or a party), by companies cleaning your home, and other businesses to ensure credit or account money will be available to complete payment.
		Blocking is used to make sure you don't exceed your credit line (credit card) or overdraw your bank account (debit card) before checking out of a hotel or returning a rental car, leaving the merchant unpaid.
		On debit cards, depending on the balance in your bank account, blocking could lead to charges for insufficient funds while the block remains in place.

	How to Piece a Quilt Block
		I turned the block over on the wrong side and basted along the outline of the block so it would show me on the top side where the block edges were when I embellish the block later.
		The block tends to shrink also as it is being embellished so having the block pieced to extend over the lines will make you glad you did it later.
		This block is made from materials available through the Embellishment Club at RibbonSmyth for the month of June.

	Block Stacker Tutorial
		The bottom block is extended by one-third of its length beyond the table's edge, and the top block is extended by one-third of its length beyond the bottom block's edge.
		When a block turns red, it means that the block and all of the blocks above it, considered as a unit, have become unbalanced.
		This is the number of pixels by which the block stack extends to the right of the table.

	Baltimore's Bawdy Block
		From then on he was known as "the Judge" by "The Block." But the honor was short-lived as someone got to the governor with the suggestion that Max wasn't quite the type, and the latter rescinded the appointment.
		THE OLDEST, lushest, bawdiest tenderloin in the United States today is that back-of-the-waterfront area of Baltimore, Maryland, known as "The Block." Actually the district covers about three blocks along East Baltimore Street, one block down from the great Patapsco River docks that have made the Maryland metropolis America's second port in tonnage.
		As time went on, the center of the tenderloin shifted slightly westward along Baltimore Street, never getting more than a block from the docks until, by the late 19th century, it was occupying its present location between Holliday Street and the Fallsway (old Fells Point).

	Block
		Paul Block (1875-1941) made a small fortune selling newspaper advertising at the turn of last century, after migrating to the US in 1885, and by 1927 was the publisher of eleven newspapers (including the Blade, acquired in 1926 for a reported US$4.5 million and the Post-Gazette, formed through a 1927 swap with Hearst).
		Block was a close associate of Hearst, reflected in finance for one of Marion Davis' more forgettable films and service as a Hearst front man in acquisition of the Los Angeles Express.
		For the group's founder see Frank Brady's Paul Block, a Life of Friendship, Power, and Politics (Lanham: Uni Press of America 2001) and Roger Hall's 1989 dissertation Paul Block of the Toledo Blade: An apostle of rugged individualism in the age of the New Deal (1988).
