Her faithful fans crowded outside the door of the Standard High Line, desperate, after months and months away, to cram maskless into elevators to go up to the Boom Boom Room on the 18th floor. “God is Cuming,” Madonna had posted three days before she was going to be there. ![]() The evening also included an original multimedia art installation, which was projected in Times Square and will be shown at The Standard, High Line for the remainder of Pride Month Madonna's "Vogue" classic got an updated remix called "Vogue Ballroom Function," and played before her entrance.It was the Standard’s post-pandemic Pride Week party, with DJ sets by the Misshapes, Honey Dijon, Kaytranada, and disco god Eli Escobar, but by Thursday night , everybody thought of it as a party for, by, and about Madonna. Michael Turchin and Lance Bass were among the revelers. Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon was also there, as well as a bevy of "RuPaul's Drag Race" queens including Gottmik, Symone, Gigi Goode, Aquaria and Violet Chachkie.

![]() Let's now look at the atomic radii or the size of the atom from the top of a family or group to the bottom. The size of the atom is slightly larger, approximately 2 ×10 −8 cm in diameter.Ītomic Size in a Column Increases from Top to Bottom He was able, using technology available in the early part of the 1900s, to determine quantitatively that the nucleus had an approximate size of 4 ×10 −12 cm. The gold foil experiment by Rutherford, first done in 1911, is of particular interest to us in this unit because it was this experiment that first gave science an approximate measurement for the size of the atom. How do we measure the size of the atom? Ernest Rutherford is famous for his experiments bombarding gold foil with alpha particles. The measurement would be taken as one-half the distance between the nuclei of the hydrogen atoms in a diatomic hydrogen molecule. The figure below represents a visualization of the atomic size definition.Ī visual representation of the atomic radius of a hydrogen atom. The atomic radius is one-half the distance between the centers of a homonuclear diatomic molecule (a diatomic molecule means a molecule made of exactly two atoms and homonuclear means both atoms are the same element). One way that chemists define atomic size is by using the atomic radius. Atomic size is defined in several different ways and these different definitions often produce some variations in the measurement of atomic sizes.īecause it is so difficult to measure atomic size from the nucleus to the outermost edge of the electron cloud, chemists use other approaches to get consistent measurements of atomic sizes. The region in space occupied by the electron cloud of an atom is often thought of as a probability distribution of the electrons and therefore, there is no well-defined "outer edge" of the electron cloud. due to complex structure of f-orbital and poor shielding of f-e(s)= lanthanoids contractions occur.Ītoms Have No Definite Boundary.Use the concept of effective nuclear charge to explain why the atomic radii of the main group elements increase when we move down a group in the periodic table.Use the general trends to predict the relative sizes of atoms.Describe how the trend of atomic radii works for transition metals.Describe the trend of atomic radii in the rows in the Periodic Table.Describe the general trend in atomic size for groups and for periods.Describe the factors that determine the trend of atomic size.Describe measurement methods for atomic size.State the boundary issue with atomic size.The number of electrons held between the nucleus and its outermost electrons (called the shielding effect).The number of energy levels holding electrons (and the number of electrons in the outer energy level).The number of protons in the nucleus (called the nuclear charge). ![]() The actual trends that are observed with atomic size have to do with three factors. Each of these trends can be understood in terms of the electron configuration of the atoms. The two following this lesson will discuss ionization energy and electron affinity. The first lesson of this chapter is devoted to the trend in atomic size in the Periodic Table. There are three specific periodic trends that we will discuss. This means is that as you move down a group or across a period, you will see a trend-like variation in the properties. In the Periodic Table, there are a number of physical properties that are not really "similar" as it was previously defined, but are more trend-like. 5 For the Transition Elements, the Trend is Less Systematic.4 Atomic Size in a Period Decreases from Left to Right.3 Atomic Size in a Column Increases from Top to Bottom. ![]() There are myriad options for optics, sights, lights, grips, and all manner of other accessories available. Operators dress up their rifle to suit their personal needs and tastes. The modern patrol rifle is sometimes called the “ Big Boy’s Barbie Doll” - or words to that effect. Like the aforementioned HPF-15, the BattleComp is part brake and part comp, so it’s an excellent choice for operators looking to address muzzle rise as well as felt recoil. The BattleComp 2.1 fits all barrels with 1/2 x 28 RH standard threads. MSRP is $125.īattleComp 2.1 - The manufacturer of the BattleComp 2.1 notes that this device is made from heat-treated stainless steel bar stock with a black Melonite finish. This has the effect of reducing both muzzle rise and felt recoil. The Curse is a dual-chamber, Melonite-coated brake that utilizes lots of relatively small slots to change the direction of the existing gases. Houlding Precision Firearms HPF-15 Curse Muzzle Brake - This option is part muzzle brake and part compensator. ![]() It is designed for M4, M16, and variants like the AR-15. Its patented “Impulse Diffusion” design minimizes side blast and rear-directed concussion effects. SureFire SFMB-556-1/2-28 Muzzle Brake and Suppressor Adapter - This very popular item features “precision stainless steel construction and an Ionbond DLC coating, deliver superior recoil and muzzle-rise reduction, permitting faster follow-up shots” according to the company. This brake offers exceptional recoil reduction and is manufactured for 1/2x28 threads for 5.56, and 1/2x28 or 5/8x24 for the 7.62 version. SilencerCo Saker Trifecta Muzzle Brake - This three-port muzzle brake is conveniently compatible with the Saker MAAD Trifecta mounting system, offering easy attachment and detachment for the operator. It is wildly popular as one of the top-sellers on sites like Brownells. The Venom - which is considered by many operators to be one of the best flash hiders on the market - has a four-prong design and is manufactured for. Strike Industries Venom Flash Hider - The company says that the Venom FH “nearly eliminates 100 percent of your muzzle flash” in order to preserve your night vision. This suppressor features a Nitride finish, and in addition to significantly reducing the muzzle flash, many operators say that it also redirects some of the sound of the shot downrange and away from the shooter. Noveske KX3 Flash Suppressor - The Noveske KX3 Flash Suppressor will work on any barrel length, according to the company website. Consequently, please add your favorite flash hiders, muzzle brakes, and comps in the comments section below. ![]() Please note: There are countless other options which surely merit consideration but due to restrictions of time and space, will not make it into this roundup. Here are a half dozen of options to consider among the muzzle brakes, flash suppressors, and compensators on the market. And while physics dictates that muzzle flash cannot be completely eliminated, it can be significantly reduced with a quality flash suppressor. With a good compensator, muzzle rise all but vanishes, even on the rapid fire setting. But with a good muzzle brake, recoil can be reduced even more. It is light and incredibly reliable.Īnother one of the reasons this platform is so popular is that there is little recoil or muzzle rise. The M4/M16/AR-15 is probably the most popular weapons system in the United States. The decision is partly about what you’re trying to do - what problem are you trying to solve? And that gets to the versatility of the AR platform itself.

In Korea, the shave-ice dessert known as patbingsu is so ubiquitous that it’s even available at KFC. Hawaiian shave ice is frequently served with a scoop of ice cream at its core, and/or topped with sweet red azuki beans. While most stands tend to rely on artificially flavored, brightly colored syrups that run the flavor gamut from blue raspberry to bubblegum, newer artisan-style stands make use of locally grown ingredients, with flavors like l ilikoi (passionfruit), soursop, and papaya. Like kakigori, it resembles fine fluffy snow and is topped with flavored syrups, which are quickly absorbed into the dessert thanks to the ice’s powdery texture. ![]() The first stands opened in the early 1900s to serve plantation workers a cooling treat during the hottest summer months. Descended from Japanese kakigori, it was brought to the island by Japanese plantation laborers. Hawaiian shave ice is one of the best-known forms of shaved ice desserts. Large blocks of ice are loaded into the machine, and spin rapidly over a stationary blade, producing up to four and a half pounds of fluffy shaved snow a minute. The Lobster Club uses a $2,000 ice shaving machine. “To me it’s a great dish because the flavors are endless, it’s great sharing, and it’s so fresh,” Prida says. Commonly seen syrup flavors in Japan include fresh fruits like melon or strawberry matcha (often paired with a drizzle of condensed milk) and mizore, which is a mild but popular white sugar syrup. A kakigori machine is fitted with a sharp blade that finely shaves ice off a large (sometimes square, sometimes round) block like Hawaiian shave ice or snow cones, it is typically made with plain, unflavored ice, piled into a towering mound in a squat cup or bowl, and then topped with flavored syrups. Here now, a look at a variety of ice-based sweets from across the world.Ī traditional summer treat found all over Japan, kakigori is said to date back as far as the 10th or 11th century - though at that point it was reserved for Japanese nobility, and didn’t trickle down to the common people until the late 1800s, when industrialization made transporting ice much easier. While the names, flavors, and forms might differ from country to country, shave ice is typically a street food, and priced accordingly. It’s also popular in other parts of the globe, including but not limited to Mexico, South America, the Middle East, and of course, the United States. The frozen dessert - in which blocks of ice are shaved into snow-like mounds thin, feather-like shards or curly swirls - is particularly popular in Asian countries, where it can be found in different forms. ![]() For her forthcoming restaurant Nightshade, chef Mei Lin plans to serve kakigori, and is playing around with different shapes of ice, which, when shaved, result in different textures.īut the snow-like Japanese dessert is just one of shave ice’s many iterations. On the west coast, kakigori is also on the menu at chef David Chang’s white-hot new LA restaurant, Majordomo the current version is flavored with horchata. At the Lobster Club in New York City, pastry chef Stephanie Prida serves a dolled-up kakigori dressed with blood orange in three forms: as a puree, candied zest, and a flavored creme anglaise.
