![]() ![]() ĭifferent theories regarding the number and ancestry of Sweyn's wives (or wife) have been advanced (see Sigrid the Haughty and Gunhild). To complicate the matter, Heimskringla and other sagas also have Sweyn marrying Eric's widow, but she is distinctly another person in these texts, named Sigrid the Haughty, whom Sweyn only marries after Gunhild, the Slavic princess who bore Cnut, has died. Adam of Bremen in Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum is unique in equating Cnut's mother (for whom he also produces no name) with the former queen of Sweden, wife of Eric the Victorious and by this marriage mother of Olof Skötkonung. Since in the Norse sagas the king of Vindland is always Burislav, this is reconcilable with the assumption that her father was Mieszko (not his son Bolesław). Norse sources of the High Middle Ages, most prominently Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson, also give a Polish princess as Cnut's mother, whom they call Gunhild, a daughter of Burislav, the king of Vindland. The Chronicon of Thietmar of Merseburg and the Encomium Emmae report Cnut's mother as having been Świętosława, a daughter of Mieszko I of Poland. Harald Bluetooth, Gorm's son and Cnut's grandfather, was the Danish king at the time of the Christianization of Denmark he became one of the first Scandinavian kings to accept Christianity. Harthacnut I was the semi-legendary founder of the Danish royal house at the beginning of the 10th century, and his son, Gorm the Old, became the first in the official line (the 'Old' in his name indicates this). Neither the place nor the date of his birth are known. Birth and kingship Ĭnut was a son of the Danish prince Sweyn Forkbeard, who was the son and heir to King Harald Bluetooth and thus came from a line of Scandinavian rulers central to the unification of Denmark. ![]() Medieval historian Norman Cantor called him "the most effective king in Anglo-Saxon history". Cnut was ealles Engla landes cyning-"king of all England". The Anglo-Saxon kings used the title "king of the English". After his 1026 victory against Norway and Sweden, and on his way back from Rome where he attended the coronation of the Holy Roman Emperor, Cnut deemed himself "King of all England and Denmark and the Norwegians and of some of the Swedes" in a letter written for the benefit of his subjects. Cnut's possession of England's dioceses and the continental Diocese of Denmark-with a claim laid upon it by the Holy Roman Empire's Archdiocese of Hamburg-Bremen-was a source of great prestige and leverage within the Catholic Church and among the magnates of Christendom (gaining notable concessions such as one on the price of the pallium of his bishops, though they still had to travel to obtain the pallium, as well as on the tolls his people had to pay on the way to Rome). ĭominion of England lent the Danes an important link to the maritime zone between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, where Cnut, like his father before him, had a strong interest and wielded much influence among the Norse–Gaels. In 1031, Malcolm II of Scotland also submitted to him, though Anglo-Norse influence over Scotland was weak and ultimately did not last by the time of Cnut's death. ![]() The Swedish city Sigtuna was held by Cnut (he had coins struck there that called him king, but there is no narrative record of his occupation). After a decade of conflict with opponents in Scandinavia, Cnut claimed the crown of Norway in Trondheim in 1028. Cnut sought to keep this power-base by uniting Danes and English under cultural bonds of wealth and custom. His later accession to the Danish throne in 1018 brought the crowns of England and Denmark together. The three kingdoms united under Cnut's rule are referred to together as the North Sea Empire.Īs a Danish prince, Cnut won the throne of England in 1016 in the wake of centuries of Viking activity in northwestern Europe. Cnut ( / k ə ˈ nj uː t/ Old English: Cnut cyning Old Norse: Knútr inn ríki died 12 November 1035), also known as Cnut the Great and Canute, was King of England from 1016, King of Denmark from 1018, and King of Norway from 1028 until his death in 1035. ![]()

These are the semimetals (or metalloids), elements that have some of the chemical properties of both nonmetals and metals. In between the metals and nonmetals, along the heavy diagonal line running from B to At is a group of elements with intermediate electronegativities (χ ~ 2.0). In contrast, elements with a low electronegativity (\(\chi \le 1.8\)) have electron affinities that have either positive or small negative values and small ionization potentials, so they are generally metals and good electrical conductors that tend to lose their valence electrons in chemical reactions (i.e., they are reductants). ![]() Elements with a high electronegativity (χ ≥ 2.2 in Figure 2.12.2) have very negative affinities and large ionization potentials, so they are generally nonmetals and electrical insulators that tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions (i.e., they are oxidants). Because electronegativities generally increase diagonally from the lower left to the upper right of the periodic table, elements lying on diagonal lines running from upper left to lower right tend to have comparable values (e.g., O and Cl and N, S, and Br).Įlectronegativity Differences between Metals and NonmetalsĪn element’s electronegativity provides us with a single value that we can use to characterize the chemistry of an element. If we ignore the inert gases and elements for which no stable isotopes are known, we see that fluorine (\(\chi = 3.98\)) is the most electronegative element and cesium is the least electronegative nonradioactive element (\(\chi = 0.79\)). Periodic variations in Pauling’s electronegativity values are illustrated in Figure 2.12.1 and Figure 2.12.2. ![]() Figure 2.12.1 A Plot of Periodic Variation of Electronegativity with Atomic Number for the First Six Rows of the Periodic Table Pauling arbitrarily set the electronegativity of fluorine at 4.0 (although today it has been refined to 3.98), thereby creating a scale in which all elements have values between 0 and 4.0. The original electronegativity scale, developed in the 1930s by Linus Pauling (1901– 1994) was based on measurements of the strengths of covalent bonds between different elements. For example, all scales predict that fluorine has the highest electronegativity and cesium the lowest of the stable elements, which suggests that all the methods are measuring the same fundamental property. Nevertheless, when different methods for measuring the electronegativity of an atom are compared, they all tend to assign similar relative values to a given element. In fact, an atom’s electronegativity should depend to some extent on its chemical environment because the properties of an atom are influenced by its neighbors in a chemical compound. Unlike ionization energy or electron affinity, the electronegativity of an atom is not a simple, fixed property that can be directly measured in a single experiment. Elements with low electronegativities tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions and are found in the lower left corner of the periodic table. Elements with high electronegativities tend to acquire electrons in chemical reactions and are found in the upper right corner of the periodic table. The most important method uses a measurement called electronegativity (represented by the Greek letter chi, χ, pronounced “ky” as in “sky”), defined as the relative ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself in a chemical compound. Conversely, the elements with the lowest ionization energies are generally those with the least negative electron affinities and are located in the lower left corner of the periodic table.īecause the tendency of an element to gain or lose electrons is so important in determining its chemistry, various methods have been developed to quantitatively describe this tendency. The elements with the highest ionization energies are generally those with the most negative electron affinities, which are located toward the upper right corner of the periodic table (compare Figure 2.9.2 and Figure 2.10.2). ![]() ![]() He is also the CEO and sole stockholder of Cloverleaf Industries.

Thanks to drag clicking, however, you get to put several pieces at once. With the standard approach, you’d only be able to place blocks one by one. Let’s imagine you’re building a large bridge. You’ll get more hits or whatever the game requires.įor example, let’s look at Minecraft (again). When you think about it, the benefits of drag clicking are quite obvious. Now that you know how to make your mouse drag click, you’re ready to learn all about the benefits. Of course, you’ll also need a good drag clicking mouse, but more on that later. Use that as a base stat if you want to compare how your CPS has improved when drag clicking. It’s important to mention that the average gamer has a CPS of 6.51. Make sure you’re moving as you build since your positioning can impact how much space is left. Just enter the build mode and try placing several blocks at once with this technique. ![]() You can also load a game like Minecraft and run a drag clicking test yourself. If you use the RapidTable click counter feature, it’ll show you exactly how many clicks you produced in one motion. You can check if you performed the action correctly by running a drag click test. Also, you’ll feel a slight vibration underneath your finger. If you manage to do it right, you should hear a grinding noise coming from the mouse. When you’re doing it for the first time, it might take a few takes to get the hang of it, though. Once you know how to long drag click, stopping at a certain point will become second nature. It’s important to click gently and just let your finger glide towards the front part of the mouse.ĭepending on how many CPS you want to achieve, you can go for a full drag or stop at the middle of the button. If you press too hard, however, the motion won’t be effective. To do that, you have to flick your wrist at an angle and press the button in a downward direction. Once you’ve done that, it’s time to click and drag. The index and middle fingers go on the left and right buttons, respectively. This means your thumb goes on the left side while your ring and little finger are supporting it from the right. The next step includes placing your hand on the mouse as you normally would. Sometimes, this hack also works when your mouse doesn’t get enough friction. If your fingers get sweaty during your gaming sessions, you can apply tape to the button. ![]() Your hand should also be dry when drag clicking. In addition, you have to wipe your hand to avoid having your finger slipping. Both of these can interfere with friction. Check the surface for sweat and dust and if you find any, remove it. The first step is to ensure your mouse is clean. Your mouse and the tape you decide to use also play a role.īut let’s take it one step at a time - how to drag click ? How To Drag Click?įirst, it’s important to understand that drag clicking isn’t just dragging your finger across the button. When working on large buildings, bridges, and other constructions, this can come in handy. In most games, extra clicks can bring you numerous benefits.įor example, in Minecraft, you can use this tactic to place several blocks at once. When performed correctly, drag clicking can help you achieve even up to 32 clicks per second or CPS. This friction appears due to the vibrations taken from the button, and the game registers it with more than one click. That way, you induce more clicking because of the friction between the surface of the device. You move your finger across the mouse button from one side to the other. So, how do you do that? And what is a drag clicking mouse ? Not only that, but it could also help you go through some tedious tasks more quickly. Once you do master it, it will improve your performance across numerous different games. Of course, getting the knack of it won’t necessarily make you a better player right away. The best part - learning how to drag click isn’t as difficult as it may seem. This technique has become extremely popular in Minecraft and Roblox, but it quickly found its use in many other games. High clicks per second are one of the most effective strategies to win some games. ![]() ![]() In essence, when you use a free VPN, you are usually the product.
