Following the death of his employer and mentor, Bumpy Johnson, Frank Lucas establishes himself as the number one importer of heroin in the Harlem district of Manhattan. He does so by buying heroin directly from the source in South East Asia and he comes up with a unique way of importing the drugs into the United States.

Presently, Puerto Rico holds the most titles for Miss Universe contest. Frank Lucas was and is still married to Miss Puerto Rico Idalia Margarita Beba Franco-who came out 3rd place in 1971. And, she did not win Miss Universe solely because in 1969, Miss Puerto Rico had won Miss Universe.

Ron Chepesiuk, author of Superfly: The True, Untold Story of Frank Lucas, American Gangster, said that Detective Richie Roberts, was a minor figure in the Lucas investigation; the idea that Roberts was the key official in bringing Lucas down is Hollywood's imagination (The Chicago Syndicate).

Sponsorship Analysis. Our unique analysis of the bills Lucas has sponsored and cosponsored provides insight into his position in the House of Representatives. Each dot in the chart below is a member of the House of Representatives. The dots are positioned horizontally according to our progressive—conservative ideology score and vertically according to our leadership score (leaders toward the top). Lucas is shown as a purple triangle.

The movie American Gangster shows a family member of Frank's turning on him and working with the police to bring him down. In an interview, Richie Roberts said that this is true. It was a cousin. We had three detectives who really spearheaded our investigation: Jones, Spearman, and Abruzzo. ...

The cumulative fraction function and the empirical distribution function are two names for the same thing: a graphical display of how the data is distributed. Consider the dataset B1: B1={1.26, 0.34, 0.70, 1.75, 50.57, 1.55, 0.08, 0.42, 0.50, 3.20, 0.15, 0.49, 0.95, 0.24, 1.37, 0.17, 6.98, 0.10, 0.94, 0.38}.

Data can be distributed (spread out) in different ways. But there are many cases where the data tends to be around a central value with no bias left or right, and it gets close to a Normal Distribution like this: A Normal Distribution. The Bell Curve is a Normal Distribution. And the yellow histogram shows some data that.

Note that there really isn't a standard meaning for the size of an error bar. Common choices are: 1 (the range would include about 68% of normal data), 2 which is basically the same as 95% limits, and 0.674× which would include 50% of normal data. The above may be a population standard deviation or a standard deviation of the mean.

There are two ways that the normal curve may be represented: The actual normal curve and the standard normal curve. The curve represents the distribution of actual data. The actual data points (xi) are represented on the abscissa (x-scale) and the number of occurrences are indicated on the ordinate (y-scale).

The variance is the mean squared deviation from the average in a set of data. It is used to determine the standard deviation, which is an indicator of the spread or dispersion of a data set. 3.3 Standard deviation. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

With discrete data, the entire distribution can either be developed from scratch or the data can be fitted to a pre-specified discrete distribution. With the former, there are two steps to building the distribution.

For an even number of data points, the median is the average of the two middle points. 2.3 Mode. The mode is the value that occurs most frequently. The data 2.6, 2.2, 2.4, 2.3, 2.5 do not contain a mode because no value occurs more than any other.

A normal distribution is symmetric about the mean. Skew is a measure of how much the bell-curve for your data set is heavy on one side. A normal distribution also has a specific width for a given height. If you double the height, the width scales proportionally. However, you could imagine stretching a bell curve out in weird ways without changing its symmetry.

If several shells are used at a time, at least one of them is likely to be oriented correctly. Pattern shells were first used in the early 1990s in Washington D.C. to greet Desert Storm troops upon their arrival home. The patterns that were used there were purple hearts and yellow bows, Heckman said.

1 First, so that fireworks go where you intend to and don't fly in a random direction, causing fires, property damage, or injuries. 2 Second, because it helps display organizers to position firework effects with accuracy and precision.

When metal salts are ignited, they release energy in the form of light. Shorter wavelengths of light (400 to 500 nanometers) produce violet and blue colors while longer wavelengths of light (600 to 700 nanometers) produce orange and red colors.

That's chemistry too! Fireworks get their color from metal compounds (also known as metal salts) packed inside. You probably know that if you burn metals in a hot flame (such as a Bunsen burner in a school laboratory), they glow with very intense colors— that's exactly what's happening in fireworks.

When metal salts emit short wavelengths of visible light in the range of 400 to 500 nanometers, they produce violet and blue colors. When metal salts emit longer wavelengths of visible light in the range of 600 to 700 nanometers, they produce orange and red colors.

Thousands of people across the United States will be celebrating Independence Day on July 4 by attending a fireworks display. The red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple colors exploding in the night sky during a fireworks display are created by the use of metal salts. Photo credit: Jeff Golden. In chemistry, a salt is defined as an ionic compound that is formed from the reaction of an acid and a base.

The recipe that creates blue, for example, includes varying amounts of copper chloride compounds, while red comes from strontium and lithium salts. Just like paints, secondary colors are made by mixing the ingredients of their primary-color relatives. A mixture of copper (blue) and strontium (red) makes purple.

On Independence Days of yore, old-timey crowds were dazzled by a mere sprinkle or two of off-white lights. Later generations oohed-and-aahed at more colorful displays, as chemical combos were developed that could light up the sky in Technicolor. The march of progress in pyrotechnics didn't stop there, though.

View full size image. Behind the scenes of the dazzling light shows that spectators ooh and ahh at on the Fourth of July, are carefully crafted fireworks. Whether red, white and blue fountains or purple sparklers, each firework is packed with just the right mix of chemicals to create these colorful lights. Inside each handmade firework are small packets filled with special chemicals, mainly metal salts and metal oxides, which react to produce an array of colors.
