![]() As we progress up in the number of electrons, we go from hydrogen to helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, and so on, and we see that there are limits to the number of electrons for each value of n n. This leads to the concept of shells and shell filling. Lithium (see the periodic table) has three electrons, and so one must be in the n = 2 n = 2 level. (More precisely, their spin projections must differ.) Shells and Subshellsīecause of the Pauli exclusion principle, only hydrogen and helium can have all of their electrons in the n = 1 n = 1 state. If there are two electrons in the n = 1 n = 1 level, their spins must be in opposite directions. Since electrons cannot have the same set of quantum numbers, a maximum of two can be in the n = 1 n = 1 level, and a third electron must reside in the higher-energy n = 2 n = 2 level. Figure 30.55 illustrates that there can be one or two electrons having n = 1 n = 1, but not three.įigure 30.55 The Pauli exclusion principle explains why some configurations of electrons are allowed while others are not. The spin projection m s m s can be either + 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 or − 1 / 2 − 1 / 2, and so there can be two electrons in the n = 1 n = 1 state. The only value l l can have is 0 (see Table 30.1 for a list of possible values once n n is known), and thus m l m l can only be 0. Consider the n = 1 n = 1 level, for example. So we first choose n n, and then we see how many electrons can be in this energy state or energy level. Note that n n determines the energy state in the absence of a magnetic field. Since no two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers, there are limits to how many of them can be in the same energy state. For example, the quantum numbers 2, 1, 0, − 1 / 2 2, 1, 0, − 1 / 2 completely specify the state of an electron in an atom. Since s s is always 1 / 2 1 / 2 for electrons, it is redundant to list s s, and so we omit it and specify the state of an electron by a set of four numbers n, l, m l, m s n, l, m l, m s. The quantum numbers involved were defined in Quantum Numbers and Rules as n, l, m l, s n, l, m l, s, and m s m s. Let us examine how the exclusion principle applies to electrons in atoms. (credit: Nobel Foundation, via Wikimedia Commons) He proposed the exclusion principle hypothesized the existence of an important particle, called the neutrino, before it was directly observed made fundamental contributions to several areas of theoretical physics and influenced many students who went on to do important work of their own. Thus no two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers.įigure 30.54 The Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli (1900–1958) played a major role in the development of quantum mechanics. It applies to any identical particles with half-integral intrinsic spin-that is, having s = 1/2, 3/2. The Pauli exclusion principle is extremely powerful and very broadly applicable. This statement is known as the Pauli exclusion principle, because it excludes electrons from being in the same state. That is, no two electrons can be in the same state. In 1925, the Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli (see Figure 30.54) proposed the following rule: No two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers. We shall see in this section that the exclusion principle is key to the underlying explanations, and that it applies far beyond the realm of atomic physics. This systematic organization is related to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, called the atomic number, Z Z. The periodic table of the elements groups elements with similar properties into columns. ![]() The physical and chemical properties of elements are directly related to the number of electrons a neutral atom has.

![]() However, it could be some time before a new Animal Crossing game is announced, with 8 years separating New Leaf and New Horizons. While having another adventure with the New Horizons island theme could be appealing to some, it is more likely Nintendo will put time and energy into creating a new Animal Crossing adventure for players to enjoy. ![]() Providing quality-of-life fixes could make the next game in the series more fun to play, and offer a more streamlined and immersive simulation experience. Because pocket space is frustrating limited, this requires players to continuously switch back and forth between storage and their crafting table. Players also must have the needed items for crafting in their New Horizons inventory, with the crafting mechanics unable to access what is being stored in a player's home. The crafting system still lacks a bulk-craft option after two years of updates, forcing players to craft items one at a time. These functions could expand the crafting systems of New Horizons, and encourage players to use customization kits to create more valuable unique items.Īdditionally, a new Animal Crossing game could focus on fixing the areas in New Horizons that have remained consistently problematic. Players could even have to compete against rival locations in town or pick a specialty like food, clothing, or furniture, offering good reply value for those wanting to try a new save with a different focus. Here, goods could be sold to both villagers and visiting friends, with prices set by the player that must be changed based on supply and demand. Instead of relying on New Horizons' Timmy and Tommy to buy items for Bells, players could create their own specialized retail location. This type of game could also add "wild" locations filled with fruit, vegetables, collectibles, and resources that weren't in New Horizons, giving fans an entirely new experience with similar mechanics.Īn Animal Crossing game that allows players to open their own shop within a town could also be a fun twist on gameplay. The travel options in New Horizons got players off their own islands, providing a sense of adventure and giving unique exploration opportunities. For example, an Animal Crossing game where players have the ability to travel and live in several towns with different themes could be an exciting change. Instead of creating a sequel, Nintendo should take a look at what did well and what was lacking in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and apply it to an entirely new adventure for the Nintendo Switch. This could be overwhelming both for the developers and the players, especially with the poor New Horizons storage options that have bogged down gameplay. However, because much of the gameplay in Animal Crossing comes from collecting, the developers would need to add a whole new inventory of obtainable items on top of what is already available in the game. A new town location set in a desert, or in a rural community, could offer new goals while keeping a player's inventory, tools, and collections intact. ![]() It is possible an Animal Crossing: New Horizons sequel could be designed to port a player's previous save data from the first game and allow them to take their villagers, furniture, and accomplished house upgrades to a new setting. Related: How Often Animal Crossing Star Fragments Actually Appear Because most of the key factors that made Animal Crossing: New Horizons unique, like island living, would be stale, gameplay would likely be boring and repetitive. Because of this, it would be more efficient to give players the ability to have multiple New Horizons save files, and focus on designing a new game with fresh objectives. Players would have to build a new island, upgrade their homes, create villager homes, and likely have another overarching goal that is achieved by improving the quality of the community. A sequel to New Horizons could be set on a different island, and could introduce new bugs, fish, or resources, but would likely consist of the same gameplay as the first title. ![]() If you want to build a replica of the "Tokyo Drift" RX-7, the Veilside Fortune wide-body kit is still available, although it will set you back $16,770, Lieberman said. They were sold to JDM car broker New Era Imports. The surviving cars were shipped back to Japan, as they were right-hand-drive, Japanese-market cars brought into the United States on a temporary bond as movie props. The best thing about owning a car like this 1993 Mazda RX-7 is the infinite aftermarket support that, even decades later, is still churning out new and exciting performance and aesthetic parts. Only two cars were left after filming was completed, Lieberman said. On screen, The RX-7 got a little more exposure than the RX-7s from " The Fast and the Furious" and "2 Fast 2 Furious," but was ultimately destroyed in a crash.

However, that meant the stunt cars actually had trouble breaking their rear tires loose, Lieberman said, which is kind of important in a movie called "Tokyo Drift." RX-7 Carbon Fiber or Black 99 Spec License Tag Plate for JDM Mazda RX7 Bumper (97) 45.00. These were traditional movie cars, meaning they didn't get the full complement of modifications, as that wasn't necessary for filming. In addition to the original car, the production team built nine RX-7s to be used for various shots and stunts. The new 13B rotary engine would see the addition of electronic fuel injection, better rotor seals, and newly machined housings to increase displacement to 1.3 liters. For the second generation (1985-1992) of the RX-7, Mazda upgraded the rotary engine platform and the chassis. A single nitrous bottle was onboard as well, although it's unclear if it was hooked up, according to Lieberman. Added New 13B Engine, Amped Up Output to 160 HP. The car also had an upgraded audio system, with two 12-inch Alpine Type R subwoofers. He did a very good job on it, and now that I’ve seen the entire build process, I can appreciate the time, effort, and money that went into it. It kept the body kit, as well as modifications made by Veilside to the 13B rotary engine, including an HKS turbocharger and Veilside's own titanium exhaust system. The TJ Hunt RX-7 is a beautiful car inside and out. The RX-7 was originally red, but was repainted House of Color Sunset Pearl orange for filming. The car appeared at a Tokyo Auto Salon, and was then purchased from Veilside for use in "Tokyo Drift," according to Lieberman. That was the case with the RX-7, which started out as a show car built by Veilside to show off its Fortune wide-body kit. ![]() Unlike most movie cars, many of the cars in the "Fast and Furious" movies were full-on show cars drafted into on-screen duty. Craig Lieberman, a technical advisor for the early movies in the franchise, has the full story on this rotary-powered sports car. Of the many cars to appear in the "Fast and Furious" franchise, Han's Mazda RX-7 from "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" stands out thanks to its Veilside wide-body kit. ![]() ![]() Just grab a disposable mask and hang it on a chandelier or even the Christmas tree and sit your elf inside. What’s more 2020 than a disposable mask? Every home has one laying around. You can paste little pom poms or googly eyes and it’s super fun and easy. Since I already had a pack of googly eyes, I put them to use again, but this time on a family photo. Watching the dinosaur dance with our elf on his back was hilarious! Trixie decided she wanted a piggy back ride from our Christmas dancing dinosaur. It’s also fun if you set it up so your kid can play in the fort the rest of the day. The girls had a slumber party in the fort. Added a blanket on the floor, all of her baby dolls and our elf, Trixie. She didn’t want to take it down at night, so I took advantage of the fort we had built. My daughter set up a fort using our dining room chairs and some bedsheets. If you set it up the night before and don’t want to leave food out, you can use cotton balls for the same effect. Add some mini marshmallows and you have a bubble bath. All aboard the Shoe-Shoe Train!Įven Elves need to relax! What better than a bubble bath? Our Barbie house has a bathtub, so we used that, but you can do it anywhere…. Line up some shoes (it can be adult shoes or kid shoes) and sit the elf in the first one. This one is so easy and she thought it was hilarious. I folded over the tape in the middle so it wouldn’t actually stick to them. Sit the elf with some friends (I used Barbies) on a ledge inside the dryer and use a piece of packing tape to hold them in place. ![]() Turn your dryer into an amusement park ride in just a minute. I tied ours onto a Christmas banner and sat the elf on the swing. Use an old toilet paper roll and a piece of string to create a swing. I found this idea on Pinterest and changed it a little. She has never had an Elf before or even heard about them, so I hung the elf from the chandelier in the center of the family room and put the book on the coffee table so she wouldn’t miss it. I did this one on the very first day so it would be super obvious. Grab a toy or a few and an extra strand of Christmas lights and tie them all up. Tip: Don’t add the goldfish til the end because they get soggy rather quickly. This has been one of her favorites so far. We have this one from a fishing game, but any stick with a piece of string will work. Stick the elf inside the roll of toilet paper and roll them down the stairs.įill the sink with water, add some Goldfish (every kids favorite snack) and set the elf there with a fishing rod. You need stairs for this one too, but it’s so great and super simple. Tie some candy canes together to make a sled and then tie them to the banister on the stairs. If you have a staircase, this one is super easy. This one was much harder to find because it was on the third floor of the house, so the girls really had to search to find it. The elves set up a tea party with all of the princesses. ![]() My niece was over so we had 2 elves that night. I ordered a box of self-adhesive googly eyes and put eyes on all of our fruit in our fruit basket. Just put a bunch of bows and have your elf climb up. We did it on the fridge because I was worried it might mess up my paint. Get some holiday gift wrapping bows and create a “rock climbing” wall. I probably should have picked a toy she didn’t like as much. She wasn’t so sure about this one because she wanted her Alien back. Our elf got my daughter favorite stuffed animal and stuck him in a glass jar on our shelves in the kitchen. I chose her dinosaurs and a dinosaur book to match. Pick a book and any toys and have the elf read to them. Leave the elf sitting on the roll so they know who is responsible. Pick a space and make a toilet paper mess. This is probably the one that’s taken the longest to set up but she loved it. Flip a coffee cup to seat the elf, and add a toothpick with mini marshmallows and set them over a candle so your elf is making S’mores. She spent the entire day telling everyone how naughty her elf Trixie is. Super simple and she thought it was hilarious. Our elf, Trixie, got my daughters panties and hung them on the Christmas tree as ornaments then hid in the tree as well. If you want to see our daily updates, check me out on Instagram I always share our elf on my stories. The best part is they only take a couple minutes (at most) to set up. Here are some fun ideas that have brought a lot of joy and Christmas magic to our home. Trixie (the name my daughter selected for our elf) is naughty but she keeps it simple, because this mommy needs her sleep. This is my first year having an Elf on the Shelf and I was worried my daughter wouldn’t really understand it yet because she’s only 3 and doesn’t go to school… oh boy, was I wrong! She loves her Elf so much and truly enjoys finding her everyday. ![]() It’s also uncommon for this peperomia to flower indoors, although it does happen in optimal conditions.

Peperomia leaves can be smooth, rippled, or puckered, and they can have marbled, blotchy, or striped patterns.Īll peperomias share a common trait in their flower appearance – resembling white or greenish spikes atop long stems. Some species have heart- or lance-shaped leaves, and others have oval leaves. There is vast variation between the various types of peperomia leaves. Because of their small size and low maintenance, peperomias make good houseplants that are generally easy to care for and have minimal nutritional needs.ĭespite their fleshy leaves, peperomias differ from succulents as they prefer high humidity and need more water.

But in John Smith’s writing, she was older, hotter, and immensely attracted to him, risking her life to save his, quote: “she hazarded the beating of her own brains to save mine”. In real life, John Smith met Matoaka when she was around ten to twelve years old. This came to a nadir for Native women in 1616 when John Smith wrote about his fictionalized experiences with Matoaka, more commonly known as Pocahontas (who at this point in history was still alive). However, once Indigenous groups started to fight back against colonization, Indigenous women were subsequently labelled as “sq**s” (I am not typing out the full slur, you can figure out what it is) sexually promiscuous and deviant, and therefore perfectly acceptable to rape (and kill). Male colonizers were fascinated by these women unbound by sexually repressive gender roles back in Europe, and described them as alluring “Indian Princesses”. ![]() When Europeans first made contact on Turtle Island, they instantly set their sights on Indigenous women. So, why is dressing up as, say, a sexy Pocahontas not considered politically correct anymore?īecause those costumes are deeply rooted in a long racist and misogynistic history against Native women in America and Canada, with repercussions to this day. Even today, there’s still a lot of pushback against the idea that you shouldn’t dress up as a racist stereotype on Halloween. It seems though that the posters didn’t really do a good job explaining WHY said costumes weren’t okay, if the ensuing controversy (and mockeries) were any indication. ![]() You’re probably most familiar with the “ We’re a Culture, Not a Costume” poster series, in which a person of color holds up a picture of someone in a racist costume with the caption “This is NOT who I am, and this is NOT okay”. America will fulfill her promise of being as nearly perfect as a country can be.Halloween is right around the corner, and you’re probably seeing anti-racist costume PSAs pop up again. When all of us, no matter the shield we hide behind, step out into the light.

And if that’s the criteria for what we can expect from Kamala Harris, all we need to do is not listen to what an accomplished politician says, but at the wreckage and garbage she’s left behind-California and San Francisco. You know there is no better example of “it ain’t what you say, it’s what you do,” than Donald J. No matter what Blacks would have you believe, America has already proven her all inclusiveness what more could you ask than a Black president for a full eight year term? The current life expectancy of an American male is 73.4 years. Her middle name literally means goddess in Hindi. Do any of us actually expect Kamala Harris to transform from a worm, a caterpillar, into a butterfly due to an election? And the fact is it really doesn’t matter what the mix of her DNA is, only what she can accomplish and is capable of…after all, there’s a very good chance if elected she’ll stumble into the presidency due to the inability to perform or death of a president who’ll be 78 years old when sworn in. With a father from Jamaica who looks more Dutch than African, and a mother from India, I suppose you can be nearly anything that’s propitious-advantageous to your ambition-even if physically impossible. Kamala Devi Harris shares her first name with an Indian flower, a Hindu deity, and a Bihari river. I find it fascinating that a woman who was elected to the Senate as an “Indian” and I don’t mean a Cherokee, but rather one more likely from Calcutta than Anadarko, has managed to transform, a metamorphosis, from an Indian to a Black. ![]() In some cases, these phrases are very romantic.
