Panda-monium ensued after the arrival of Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing the two pandas drew a reported 20,000 visitors on their first day. On April 16th, 1972, Pat Nixon welcomed the furry goodwill ambassadors to Washington’s National Zoo. Showing it to him, she remarked how enamored she was with them: “Aren’t they cute? I love them.” “I’ll give you some,” he replied, and arrangements were made to ship two pandas to the National Zoo in Washington.” On the table in front of her, she noticed a box of cigarettes wrapped in pink tissue and decorated with Chinese pandas. Nixon and Zhou discussed her tours throughout Peking, specifically her visit to the Peking Zoo to see the pandas. “ Seated next to the Chinese Premier, Mrs. Nixon conveyed to Premier Zhou how much she loved her visit to the zoo, he gifted her two giant pandas.

An astute diplomat in her own right, Pat read State Department dossiers, studied political ideologies, and even learned phrases in the native tongue to show respect.

The same could be said with Superman's traditional curly-Q hair and how we captured that through a Unikitty tail!" ĭuring the Lego Fan Media Days, BrickHeadz Designers Austin Carlson and Marcos Bessa discussed how they came about and what the future holds for the series. And the Joker is always known for his smile so we knew we needed that and Nic Groves added his big flower to him to capture his tricky clown nature. So for example, the startup for the Comic Con Joker BrickHead was intended to be more “classic” Joker so we wanted a tuxedo suit feel and a more slick back pointy hair for him. We’ll always have free-form, open-ended building opportunities, but we’re always looking for surgical ways we can manipulate the Lego system in a way that might grab the attention of a completely different kid who needs a different solution.” īrickHeadz Designer Austin Carlson discussed about designing a BrickHeadz model and explained, "The start is a lot like a Lego Minifigure where I note the most important icons of the character and start from there. Michael McNally, senior director of brand relations for Lego explained, "This sort of one-size-fits-all approach is not as appealing as it used to be,” and continued, "The onus then is really on brands to diversify their offerings so that there is something for everyone. Each collectible figure takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to create. BrickHeadz is designed for kids who love the Lego brand but don't have time to spend two hours on a build. Lego BrickHeadz is a new line of collectible figures. In 2020, Lego Masters USA judge and Lego Design Lead Amy Corbett had recreated her latest outfits from the show as Lego BrickHeadz models.

Look again at Figure 5.8 and note that the 4f sublevel is filled after the 6s sublevel and before the 5d sublevel. The next step is where period 6 differs from period 5. Period 6 starts with elements whose last added electron is in the 6s sublevel. Just as period 4 contains more elements than period 3, period 6 contains more elements than period 5. Boxes for the elements formed by filling the orbitals of these sublevels are arranged as were those in period 4. The boxes for the elements formed by filling the p orbitals are in place under the boxes for elements formed by adding the 3p electrons.īy consulting Figure 5.8, we see that the next sublevels filled are in the order: 5s, 4d, and 5p. The 4p sublevel is filled next, after the 3d sublevel. Ten electrons are needed to fill the five d orbitals, so we start ten columns in this fourth period, placing the columns next to column 2 and between it and column 3. These are the first d electrons added, so we start new columns for the elements formed by their addition. Figure 5.8 shows that the next sublevel to fill is the 3d sublevel. So we must start here a new period, period 4, and put boxes for the elements formed by filling the 4s sublevel in those columns. Figure 5.11 shows that elements whose last added electron goes into an s sublevel are in columns 1 and 2. Notice that the 4s sublevel is filled immediately after the 3p sublevel. Look back now to Figure 5.8, which shows the order in which the sublevels fill. Period 3 also has eight boxes, which would correspond to the electrons needed to fill the 3s and 3p sublevels. Instead of symbols for eight elements, Figure 5.11 shows s in the first two boxes and p in the last six boxes, showing that the 2s and 2p sublevels are being filled as the electron configurations of the elements in these boxes are completed. In Figure 5.11 we show instead the letter s indicating that the last added electron for the elements in these boxes is in the 1s sublevel. In the usual table, these boxes would contain the symbols for hydrogen and helium, the elements in this period. We will use Figure 5.11 and Figureĥ.8 to relate the electron configuration of an element to its position inįIGURE 5.11 The periodic table and the energy level subshells.įIGURE 5.8 The principal energy levels of an atom and the Instead it shows the last sublevels filled in describing the electron configurations Electron Configuration and the Periodicįigure 5.11 again shows the periodic table but without the symbols of the elements.

Indoor trees must not be exposed to the scorching sun or dry air from a radiator the temperature should ideally not exceed 22 ☌ (72 ☏). Indoors, the plant needs a bright location with at least 40% but preferably above 60% humidity for good growth. This, and its tolerance of salt and wind, make it ideal for coastal situations. It grows well in deep sand, as long as it receives reliable water when young. Despite the endemic implication of the species name Norfolk Island pine, the species is widely planted as an ornamental tree for its exotic, pleasing appearance and fairly broad climatic adaptability, and now occurs throughout the world in regions with suitable Mediterranean and humid subtropical climate. When the tree reaches maturity, the shape may become less symmetrical. The distinctive appearance of this tree, with its widely spaced branches and symmetrical, triangular outline, has made it a popular cultivated species, either as a single tree or in avenues. The scientific name heterophylla ("different leaves") derives from the variation in the leaves between young and adult plants. It is a dioecious tree (male and female flowers in different plants), although it can also be monoecious. The seeds have a length of 2.5 to 3 cm (1 to 1 + 1⁄ 8 in) and a diameter of about 1.2 cm ( 1⁄ 2 in) with wide wings. They disintegrate at maturity to release the nut-like edible seeds. The cones are squat globose, 10–12 cm (4–5 in) long and 12–14 cm (5–6 in) diameter, and take about 18 months to mature. The thickest, scale-like leaves on coning branches are in the upper crown. The young leaves are soft and awl-shaped, 1–1.5 cm ( 3⁄ 8– 9⁄ 16 in) long, about 1 mm ( 1⁄ 32 in) thick at the base on young trees, and incurved, 5–10 mm ( 3⁄ 16– 13⁄ 32 in) long and variably 2–4 mm ( 3⁄ 32– 5⁄ 32 in) broad on older trees. At the more or less horizontal to sometimes hanging branches, the branches are four to seven in regular whorls. The gray-brown bark falls off in fine scales. If kept indoors, the tree remains smaller. From the straight trunk, it emits its branches almost horizontal or slightly oblique, in number of five, forming floors the plane of each floor is a perfect pentagon. The tree is slow growing and can reach a height of 50–65 m (160–210 ft), with straight vertical trunks and symmetrical branches, even in the face of incessant onshore winds that can contort most other species. The timber is good for woodturning and, together with the similar Cook pine, is extensively used by Hawaii artisans. Although the plywood companies reported excellent results, the industry was deemed not sustainable by the Norfolk Island Advisory Council, which decided to reserve timber production for local use. In the late 1950s, a trial shipment of Norfolk pine logs was sent to plywood manufacturers in Sydney, New South Wales, with the hope of developing a timber export industry on Norfolk Island. However, when the island was occupied in 1788 by convicts transported from Britain, it was found that Norfolk Island pine trees were not resilient enough for such use and the idea was abandoned. In 1774, on his second voyage to the South Pacific in HMS Resolution, Cook noted the presence of large forests of tall, straight trees that appeared to be suitable for use as masts and yards for sailing ships. The first European known to have sighted Norfolk Island was Captain James Cook. It is sometimes called a star pine, Polynesian pine, triangle tree or living Christmas tree, due to its symmetrical shape as a sapling. Members of Araucaria occur across the South Pacific, especially concentrated in New Caledonia (about 700 km or 430 mi due north of Norfolk Island) where 13 closely related and similar-appearing species are found. It is not a true pine, which belong to the genus Pinus in the family Pinaceae, but instead is a member of the genus Araucaria, in the family Araucariaceae, which also contains the monkey-puzzle tree. As its vernacular name Norfolk Island pine (or Norfolk pine) implies, the tree is endemic to Norfolk Island, an external territory of Australia located in the Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and New Caledonia. variegata-alba CarrièreĪraucaria heterophylla (synonym A. #> # … with 1,510 more rows # Rounding to financial year, using a custom function financial_year % index_by (Year = ~ financial_year (. #> 10 Adelaide South Australia 2007 2317. ) ) %>% group_by ( Region, State ) %>% summarise (Total = sum ( Trips ) ) #> # A tsibble: 1,520 x 4 #> # Key: Region, State #> # Groups: Region #> Region State Year Total #> #> 1 Adelaide South Australia 1998 2226. ) ) %>% summarise ( Max_Count = max ( Count ), Min_Count = min ( Count ) ) monthly_ped #> # A tsibble: 95 x 4 #> # Key: Sensor #> Sensor Year_Month Max_Count Min_Count #> #> 1 Birrarung Marr 20 1 #> 2 Birrarung Marr 201 1 #> 3 Birrarung Marr 20 1 #> 4 Birrarung Marr 20 1 #> 5 Birrarung Marr 20 1 #> 6 Birrarung Marr 20 0 #> 7 Birrarung Marr 204 1 #> 8 Birrarung Marr 20 0 #> 9 Birrarung Marr 20 0 #> 10 Birrarung Marr 20 1 #> # … with 85 more rows index ( monthly_ped ) #> Year_Month # Using existing variable pedestrian %>% group_by_key ( ) %>% index_by ( Date ) %>% summarise ( Max_Count = max ( Count ), Min_Count = min ( Count ) ) #> # A tsibble: 2,752 x 4 #> # Key: Sensor #> Sensor Date Max_Count Min_Count #> #> 1 Birrarung Marr 1630 44 #> 2 Birrarung Marr 352 1 #> 3 Birrarung Marr 226 3 #> 4 Birrarung Marr 852 4 #> 5 Birrarung Marr 1427 3 #> 6 Birrarung Marr 937 5 #> 7 Birrarung Marr 708 4 #> 8 Birrarung Marr 568 9 #> 9 Birrarung Marr 1629 5 #> 10 Birrarung Marr 2439 10 #> # … with 2,742 more rows # Attempt to aggregate to 4-hour interval, with the effects of DST pedestrian %>% group_by_key ( ) %>% index_by (Date_Time4 = ~ lubridate :: floor_date (.

The retaliatory killings of Black people by white Southerners immediately following the Civil War alone likely number in the thousands.ĮJI presents this report to provide context and analysis of what happened during this tragic period of American history and to describe its implications for the issues we face today. Tragically, the rate of unknown lynchings of Black people during Reconstruction is also almost certainly dramatically higher than the thousands of unknown lynchings that took place between 18 for which no documentation can be found. Dozens of mass lynchings took place during Reconstruction in communities across the country in which hundreds of Black people were killed. The rate of documented racial terror lynchings during Reconstruction is nearly three times greater than during the era we reported on in 2015. Thousands more were assaulted, raped, or injured in racial terror attacks between 18. We now report that during the 12-year period of Reconstruction at least 2,000 Black women, men, and children were victims of racial terror lynchings. In 2015, the Equal Justice Initiative issued a new report that detailed over 4,400 documented racial terror lynchings of Black people in America between 18. Our collective ignorance of what happened immediately after the Civil War has contributed to misinformed stereotypes and misguided false narratives about who is honorable and who is not and has allowed bigotry and a legacy of racial injustice to persist. Historians have frequently overlooked this critical 12-year period that has had profound impact on life in the United States. Most Americans know very little about the Reconstruction era and its legacy. It was during Reconstruction that a century-long era of racial hierarchy, lynching, white supremacy, and bigotry was established-an era from which this nation has yet to recover. White officials in the North and West similarly rejected racial equality, codified racial discrimination, and occasionally embraced the same tactics of violent racial control seen in the South. Violence, mass lynchings, and lawlessness enabled white Southerners to create a regime of white supremacy and Black disenfranchisement alongside a new economic order that continued to exploit Black labor. Within a decade after the Civil War, Congress began to abandon the promise of assistance to millions of formerly enslaved Black people. In decision after decision, the Court ceded control to the same white Southerners who used terror and violence to stop Black political participation, upheld laws and practices codifying racial hierarchy, and embraced a new constitutional order defined by “states’ rights.” In a series of devastating decisions, the United States Supreme Court blocked Congressional efforts to protect formerly enslaved people. Emboldened Confederate veterans and former enslavers organized a reign of terror that effectively nullified constitutional amendments designed to provide Black people equal protection and the right to vote. White perpetrators of lawless, random violence against formerly enslaved people were almost never held accountable-instead, they frequently were celebrated. The commitment to abolish chattel slavery was not accompanied by a commitment to equal rights or equal protection for African Americans and the hope of Reconstruction quickly became a nightmare of unparalleled violence and oppression.īetween 18, thousands of Black women, men, and children were killed, attacked, sexually assaulted, and terrorized by white mobs and individuals who were shielded from arrest and prosecution. However, it quickly became clear that emancipation in the United States did not mean equality for Black people. The new era of Reconstruction offered great promise and could have radically changed the history of this country. By 1868, over 80 percent of Black men who were eligible to vote had registered, schools for Black children became a priority, and courageous Black leaders overcame enormous obstacles to win elections to public office. Most formerly enslaved people in the United States were remarkably willing to live peacefully with those who had held them in bondage despite the violence they had suffered and the degradation they had endured.Įmancipated Black people put aside their enslavement and embraced education, hard work, faith, and citizenship with extraordinary enthusiasm and devotion. In 1865, after two and a half centuries of brutal enslavement, Black Americans had great hope that emancipation would finally mean real freedom and opportunity. |
