The power clamping screw SC contains a special inner workings, which acts as a mechanical power amplifier. This results in particularly high clamping forces at comparatively low torques and the greatest possible operational reliability. The self-locking wedge clamping system in every position offers a clamping stroke of up to 3 mm.
In addition to the proven sizes of M36, M48, M64 and M80, JAKOB also offers a special version SC 100. It can generate clamping forces of up to 250 Nm with just 130 Nm of torque. The power clamping screw is operated with a 14 mm Allen key. For safety's sake, and in order to obtain reproducible values, the operation is best done with a torque wrench.
Special versions are possible on request at any time.

The study presented a critical examination of the effects of capital flight on exchange rate in the Nigerian economy over a period of 30 years (1986-2015). An Ordinary Least Square (OLS), Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test and Co-integration tests were adopted to carry out an extensive analysis of such variables as Gross Domestic Product, Capital Flight and Exchange Rate. The results revealed that the variables have a significant effect in the positive direction with a coefficient of 0.007421 and probability value at 0.05. This implies that capital flight encourages increasing demand for foreign currency which tends to exert pressure on exchange rate at 0.74 percent, thereby increasing the rate, among other factors. Based on the empirical findings, the study recommended that decayed infrastructure and utilities should be rehabilitated; monetary authorities should seriously regulate the activities of premium currency marketers; and foreign firms should be encouraged to make use of local skills and raw materials available in the domestic economy, rather than importing them. This will save foreign exchange, improve technical skills of Nigerian citizens, reduce unemployment and limit the flight of capital from the economy.

Scanlan, Lady Panthers top Silver Creek
SILVER CREEK — Headed into Monday's Section VI CCAA Division 1 East girls basketball game between Silver Creek (7-4, 0-3) and Gowanda (3-7, 1-2) one thing was for certain, one team was going to snap its losing streak with its first league win of the season. After four quarters of great defensive basketball, the Gowanda Lady Panthers snapped their six game losing streak by defeating the Silver Creek Black Knights 50-38.
"It was a very competitive game and we knew it would be," stated Gowanda head coach Ross John. "I'm glad that we came out on top, especially in an away game down here in Silver Creek. I think our girls are growing all the time."
The Lady Panthers gameplan was evident early, on the first possession of the game star junior Miya Scanlan drained a 3-pointer and established a 3-0 lead. Abby Rice responded for the Black Knights with a layup to make it 3-2, but that was all the scoring for the first couple minutes of the game as both teams struggled to hit shots.
Gowanda's Miya Scanlan soon started to show why she is a Division 1 athlete. Miya was the floor general for the Panthers, directing traffic and demanded double teams that allowed her teammates to get open. Aside from a Paige Gable free throw, Miya had her hand in on every basket for Gowanda in the first quarter, whether she assisted it or scored herself.
"I consider Miya probably the best player around," stated Coach John. "I don't care what size school you're at, she's got it. She is definitely a Division 1 athlete… she wants to do it in lacrosse, but she definitely could do it in basketball."
Despite inconsistent shooting from Silver Creek in the first quarter, the Black Knights only trailed 10-8 headed into the second quarter. Silver Creek immediately tied the game at 10-10 off a Chloe Barrett shot to start the quarter.
"We were doing nice things in the first half, especially the first quarter," stated Silver Creek head coach Tammy Rice. "We're just missing layups. We're not confident… we weren't confident shooting or finishing tonight."
The tie did not last for long as Gable was shortly sent to the free throw line and converted both shots for the 12-10 lead that Gowanda would not surrender the rest of the night. Cece Young hit a big 3-pointer and Gowanda received baskets from Miya and Crissa Scanlan, Gable and Nicole Whalen to get a double-digit lead by halftime, 21-11.
Gowanda knew that if they wanted to get the big win on the road that they would need to come out strong in the second half on build on the lead.
Miya picked up right where she left off in the first half, on fire. Miya hit the first two buckets of the quarter for Gowanda, then assisted Young on a deep 2-pointer and before you knew it Gowanda led 31-16.
On the defensive side of the ball, Miya took two early fouls in the quarter that put her at three total with a lot of game to play.
With Miya in foul trouble, the Black Knights started to hit some more of their shots as the momentum began to sway and by the end of the third quarter Silver Creek trailed 33-19.
The fourth quarter saw Gowanda's Miya Scanlan and Cece Young hit more big shots to get up 41-25, but the remainder of the Panthers started to slow down as the game wore on. Within two minutes, the 16 point lead had evaporated and Silver Creek just trailed by five, 43-38.
"We played with intensity in the fourth quarter, but by then it was too late," stated Coach Rice.
With the score so close, Gowanda's gameplan was to get the ball to its best player, Miya Scanlan. Everytime the Lady Panthers inbounded the ball it was quickly given to Miya who either dribbled out the clock or was sent to the foul line. After a handful of free throws the Lady Panthers found themselves up 50-38, and with that score and too little time left the Lady Panthers snapped a six game losing streak and secured their first league win of the year.
Gowanda was led by Scanlan's 21 points, while Young had 12. Silver Creek was led by Rice's 14 points and eight rebounds, while Brennan had 10 points.
Silver Creek will have to wait until Thursday to try and get back into the win column as they host Dani Haskell and the Franklinville Lady Panthers.
Gowanda will look to string together consecutive wins on Thursday when they host Portville.

Welcome to Mrs Sangha's Reception Class
Welcome to our class page. We are looking forward to sharing all the wonderful things we get up to this year. Please check our page regularly to keep up to date with all our exciting adventures!
Thank you
Mrs Sangha and Mr Jordan
In FS2 children learn through the Foundation stage framework consisting of 7 areas of learning.
Each day the children have designated activity times in which they will come together in small groups and access a different area of learning through a variety of activities. The children take part in daily mathematics, literacy and phonics sessions to develop their understanding of number, shape, space and measure, reading, writing, letters and sounds.
The children access both indoor and outdoor provision daily which allows them to choose different activities which aim to further enhance and develop their skills.
Through continuous provision, group time and focused activities, we aim to support the children in their learning and development. Continuous observations are made of the children to establish their level of development and track their progress. Observations, photographs and children's work is evidence of each child's learning and development. This information is kept in their learning journeys.
Our aim is to support the children by enhancing and scaffolding their learning and play, watching them as they learn new skills and flourish.
On Friday 18th October we will be holding a meeting at 9 am to discuss phonics and reading in reception. It is essential that you make the time to attend this meeting. We will cover various different aspects of how we teach the children to read in reception and what we expect from you at home. If you are unable to attend this meeting please inform your child's class teacher and we will make arrangements to meet with you at a more suitable time.
"Children are made readers on the laps of their parents."
Guinea pigs!
We are excited to have two guinea pigs as part of our reception class this year. Fudge and Honey. The children are already growing very fond of them and showing a keen interest in learning how to care for them. If you would like to take the guinea pigs home for a weekend or even the holidays, there will be a sign up sheet near their hutch.

What a fun and busy summer term so far! Lots of exciting things have been happening in our Reception unit. We started off the term with our healthy week, where we had a special visit from an award winning UK athlete Laura Samuels. The dentist came to talk to the children and the nursery parents. She talked about how to keep your teeth healthy and the importance. Tomiwa from Reception was the winner of our colouring competition and he won a healthy fruit hamper! .
We spent a day with cycle Derby, learning to ride bikes. We've also got a 12 week program called 'funtrition' happening in Reception. The children are learning all about healthy living. We have been learning about life cycles, we've had some chick eggs, frog spawn and we've currently got some caterpillars in.
We have had a visit to pizza express, where we had the opportunity to make our own pizzas. Take a look at our photos below.
Welcome back to another jam-packed term. We were so impressed with the children's attitude to learning last term and are we're looking forward to another fantastic term of learning.
Our topic this term is based on 'traditional tales'. We will be reading lots of traditional tales in class and the texts we read will form the basis of our learning. The children will look in detail at the characters in the stories and discuss the settings. They will have the opportunity to watch a 'Cinderella' panto at school and meet the cast. Please have a read of our curriculum newsletter for more information on this half terms learning.
This week is 'National anti-bullying week 2017'. To start the week we have been lucky enough to receive a visit from our local PCO's, PC Ali and PC Malachi. They came into school to speak to us all in assembly about 'bullying' and explained their role in the community. The Reception children were extremely lucky, they had stories read to them and even tried on some of their uniform.
We really enjoyed having PC Ali and PC Malachi in our school. We really hope they can visit again soon!!!
Our topic this half term is 'Ourselves'. We will be learning about our homes, families and our bodies. Have a read of our 'curriculum news' letter to find out more information about the things we will be getting up to in class.
"Please send in a a baby photo and some family photos that your child can share with the class. We will take a photocopy of these to display and return the originals to you.

News: Police in Eastern Cape on manhunt for police-killers
PRETORIA – The National Commissioner of Police has learnt with shock and sadness about the senseless killing of a Constable in Coffee Bay in the Eastern Cape last night.
Two constables while attending a complaint at Zindidi Location in Coffee Bay shortly before midnight last night were approached by four men under the pretext that they were of seeking help.
Two of the four men approached the police vehicle on the driver's side while the other two approached the vehicle from the passenger's side.
Without any warning one of the suspects shot the driver killing him instantly. The second police member was forced to carry the deceased member and together with the complainant they were all locked in the back of the police van.
One of the suspects drove the police vehicle to a nearby shop where they ordered security to open the gate. They then went up to the shop-owner's house and robbed him of an undisclosed amount of money and alcohol and fled in the owner's Nissan Navara leaving behind the surviving member and the complainant locked in the rear of the police vehicle.
The Navara was later found abandoned on the way to Mqanduli. The suspects also took a State-owned 9mm pistol with several rounds of ammunition from one of the police officers a police bullet-proof vest and both members' cell phones.
The National Commissioner has ordered an immediate manhunt for the suspects. "I have tasked the Provincial Commissioner in the Eastern Cape to mobilise the 72-hour Activation Plan which entails the mobilisation of critical resources as an effort to ensure that information intelligence and/or evidence to successfully trace the suspects is not lost said General Sitole.
"We will not rest until these suspects are found and brought to book for this shocking and callous murder added General Sitole.

A large training event is being held at the US Park Police Aviation Unit in preparation for the upcoming meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in Washington, DC, on September 29-30, and some of the participants will later be involved in the emergency response to the terrorist attacks. (International Monetary Fund 9/17/2001; Reuters 9/17/2001; Bohn 11/19/2001; McDonnell 2004, pp. 18-20 ) The Park Police Aviation Unit is located in Anacostia Park in southeast Washington, across the Potomac River from the Pentagon. (Wagstaff 10/1/2001; National Park Service 10/16/2004)
Event Preparing for Possibly Violent Demonstrations - According to Sergeant Ronald Galey, a helicopter pilot with the aviation unit, because of the preparations taking place for the IMF and World Bank meetings, "it started out to be a little bit of an unusual day." (Galey 11/20/2001) Sergeant Keith Bohn, another Park Police helicopter pilot, will later recall, "As fate would have it, we were having a large training event right out in front of the building here [the aviation hangar in Anacostia Park] for the upcoming IMF, the International Money Fund demonstrations." Consequently, there are "horse-mounted officers, motorcycle officers, ground troops all training together to handle the movement of large groups of people." (Bohn 11/19/2001) According to Galey, "[W]e all anticipated" the protest demonstrations at the IMF and World Bank meetings "to be very violent, very different than anything we've had in a long time." (Galey 11/20/2001)
Helicopter Pilot Giving 'Riot Training' - Another of the aviation unit's helicopter pilots, Sergeant Kenneth Burchell, is reportedly "conducting riot training… in preparation for the upcoming World Bank/International Monetary Fund protest demonstrations." The riot training is being attended by 40 police officers belonging to an (unnamed) force other than the Park Police, along with some Department of Defense medical personnel. (McDonnell 2004, pp. 18-20 )
Medical Personnel Participating in Training - Personnel from the Casualty Care Research Center (CCRC)—a medical outfit from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda, Maryland—are attending the training event at the aviation unit. The CCRC provides medical support to law enforcement agencies and their "protectees" during emergencies. (Mientka 10/2001) One of these personnel, Jason Kepp, is reportedly teaching members of the Park Police "how to respond safely and effectively to the crowds of demonstrators expected to turn out at the upcoming meeting of the International Monetary Fund." (USU Medicine 12/2002 )
Training Participants Involved in Response to Attacks - The Park Police Aviation Unit will be among the first agencies to respond to the Pentagon attack at 9:37 a.m. (see Shortly After 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001). (Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 161) Two medics from the USUHS who are attending the training event—Kepp and his colleague, Keith Kettell—will take off in the second Park Police helicopter to launch following the Pentagon attack, so as to assist in the emergency response. (USU Medicine 12/2002 ; McDonnell 2004, pp. 20 ) In addition to members of their own force, Park Police commanders will deploy the 40 police officers attending the riot training at the aviation unit when the attacks occur. (McDonnell 2004, pp. 18 ) Members of firefighting agencies that later respond to the attack on the Pentagon are also involved in preparations for the upcoming IMF and World Bank meetings this morning (see 8:30 a.m. September 11, 2001 and 8:30 a.m. September 11, 2001). (US Department of Health and Human Services 7/2002, pp. A-4 ; Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 69-70)
A US Park Police helicopter is directed to intercept the aircraft that subsequently hits the Pentagon, according to the later statements of US Navy historian John Darrell Sherwood. The helicopter's pilot reportedly describes the incident when later interviewed by a US Marine Corps historian. Details of the pilot's account are then revealed by Sherwood, who is a colleague of the Marine Corps historian, while he is interviewing Jeffrey Mark Parsons of the United States Border Patrol about his experiences of the 9/11 attacks.
Pilot Is Told to Prevent the Plane from Hitting the Pentagon - According to Sherwood, the helicopter pilot, who is "an aviation sergeant with the United States Park Police," is "in the area [of the Pentagon] and he got a call saying, 'Try to intercept this plane, try to distract the plane, try to do something to, you know, prevent the plane from going into the Pentagon.'" It is unclear from what Sherwood says whether the helicopter is on the ground or already airborne at this time. In response to the instruction, the helicopter goes "to try to distract" the approaching aircraft.
Helicopter Is Witnessed near the Pentagon - What is apparently this Park Police helicopter is then witnessed by Parsons out of a window on the 17th floor of the hotel he is staying at. Parsons sees it flying toward the helicopter landing pad at the Pentagon, two or three minutes before the Pentagon is attacked. (Parsons 12/13/2001; Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 258) Other individuals near or inside the Pentagon see what is presumably the same helicopter around this time (see (9:35 a.m.-9:36 a.m.) September 11, 2001 and Shortly Before 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001). (CNN 9/11/2001; Washington Post 9/5/2002; Priess 2016, pp. 244-245) Parsons has been staying at the Marriott Residence Inn in Arlington, near the Pentagon, for almost a month, but, he will recall, he has "never seen a helicopter approach the Pentagon from that direction before."
Pilot Sees the Pentagon Attack - At some point, the helicopter lands for a period near the Pentagon. According to Sherwood, it "landed, at one point, near the Memorial Bridge, and there's that strip of land before you get to the Memorial Cemetery." Its pilot reportedly witnesses the attack on the Pentagon. He "saw the plane go in, and then the next thing he started doing is medevacing people out of there," according to Sherwood. When told while being interviewed by Sherwood that the helicopter pilot is instructed to intercept a plane approaching the Pentagon, Parsons will ask, "Then they knew [the plane] was headed toward the Pentagon before it actually hit the Pentagon, then?" To this, Sherwood will only answer, "I guess that helicopter swung around, but by the time he got around, the plane was already into the building."
Park Police Flies Huey Helicopters - The helicopter is a white and blue Huey, according to Sherwood. (Parsons 12/13/2001) The Park Police Aviation Unit has two Bell 412 helicopters. (Wagstaff 10/1/2001; Forror 11/2001; Forror 2/2002; National Park Service 10/16/2004) (The Bell 412 is a more modern version of the "Huey" helicopter. (Brzezinski 8/24/2003; Hawley 10/25/2007) ) The aviation unit is located in Anacostia Park in southeast Washington, across the Potomac River from the Pentagon. (Wagstaff 10/1/2001; National Park Service 10/16/2004)
Witness Will Be Told, 'Don't Tell Anyone about' the Incident - Most accounts of the unit's actions on this day will make no mention of this incident, and only describe Park Police helicopters taking off in the minutes after the attack on the Pentagon (see Shortly After 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001). (Forror 11/2001; NBC 4 9/11/2003; McDonnell 2004, pp. 20 ; Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 161-162) However, it appears there may be an attempt to keep the incident secret. After Parsons recalls seeing the helicopter near the Pentagon minutes before the attack there, Sherwood will instruct him: "Don't tell anyone about that story, because that's one of our, I think that's one of the best stories that's going to come out of this. We don't want the press to get this." (Parsons 12/13/2001)
A number of witnesses see a helicopter flying near the Pentagon in the minutes before the attack there.
Jeffrey Mark Parsons, an assistant chief patrol agent with the United States Border Patrol, sees a blue and white helicopter that appears as if it is coming in to land, from a window on the 17th floor of the hotel he is staying at, near the Pentagon. Parsons will later recall that two or three minutes before the Pentagon attack occurs: "I saw [the helicopter] circle… between the hotel and the Pentagon, going toward the landing pad [at the Pentagon] where that airliner ultimately hit. And I thought that he landed on the pad." Parsons will say the helicopter flies in at "a weird angle," and recall that he has been staying at the Marriott Residence Inn in Arlington for almost a month, but has "never seen a helicopter approach the Pentagon from that direction before." He will recognize the helicopter as a Huey because he has flown Hueys and knows they make "a very distinct sound." According to John Darrell Sherwood, a Navy historian who interviews Parsons about the incident, the helicopter belongs to the US Park Police and has been instructed to intercept the aircraft that subsequently hits the Pentagon (see Shortly Before 9:35 a.m. September 11, 2001). (Parsons 12/13/2001; Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 258)
A senior Air Force officer who is somewhere outside the Pentagon also sees a helicopter circling the Pentagon around this time, although he believes it to be a US military helicopter. Shortly after the Pentagon attack, the unnamed officer will tell a CNN reporter that the helicopter "disappeared behind the building where the helicopter landing zone is… and he then saw [a] fireball go into the sky" when the Pentagon is hit. (CNN 9/11/2001)
Jennifer Reichert, who is stuck in traffic on Route 27 in front of the Pentagon, will describe that just before the attack, "A helicopter takes off from the heliport at the Pentagon." She will add: "Minutes—maybe seconds—later, I hear it: American Airlines Flight 77 screams toward the Pentagon. The explosion [of the crash] shakes my car." (Washington Post 9/5/2002)
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Denny Watson, his CIA briefer, who are in Rumsfeld's office at the Pentagon, see a helicopter flying very close to the building, outside the window of the office, and then pulling away just before the building is attacked (see Shortly Before 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001). (Priess 2016, pp. 244-245)
Perhaps due to the presence of this helicopter in the area, some people will initially think the attack on the Pentagon involves a helicopter hitting the building. Captain William Durm, the commander of the Pentagon's Triservice Dental Clinic, will head to the building's center courtyard shortly after the Pentagon is hit. Someone there will tell him a helicopter has hit the other side of the building. (Office of Medical History 9/2004, pp. 11) Some early news reports will suggest a helicopter crashed into the Pentagon. (Thomas Crosbie Media 9/11/2001; Geisler 9/2/2002) One report will claim that "one aircraft and a helicopter have crashed into the Pentagon." (Airline Industry Information 9/11/2001) Vice President Dick Cheney will tell NBC's Meet the Press that "the first reports on the Pentagon attack suggested a helicopter" hit the building. (Cheney 9/16/2001) The Guardian will report that one witness claims the explosion that occurs when the Pentagon is hit blows up a helicopter circling overhead. (Borger et al. 9/12/2001) New York Times columnist William Safire will report that, at approximately this time, Cheney is told that either another plane or "a helicopter loaded with explosives" is heading for the White House. (Safire 9/13/2001)
The US Park Police Aviation Unit becomes one of the first agencies to respond to the attack on the Pentagon, with its two helicopters arriving on the scene within minutes of the crash. (Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 161-162) The aviation unit is located in Anacostia Park in southeast Washington, DC, across the Potomac River from the Pentagon. It has two Bell 412 helicopters—a modern version of the "Huey"—that are prepared for virtually any emergency. They are equipped with mass casualty kits, which allow them to carry up to four critically injured patients, along with a large amount of additional medical and rescue apparatus, and other sophisticated equipment. (Wagstaff 10/1/2001; Forror 11/2001; Forror 2/2002; National Park Service 10/16/2004; Hawley 10/25/2007) The unit had been running a large training event (see 8:30 a.m. September 11, 2001) when personnel there learned of the first crash in New York from television reports. After seeing the second plane hitting the World Trade Center live, they realized this was a deliberate act. Sergeant Ronald Galey, one of the unit's helicopter pilots, will later recall that at that point, "[W]e just started talking, 'Hey, we'd better get ready.'"
Personnel Hear Explosion from Pentagon - Personnel at the aviation unit hear the explosion when the Pentagon is attacked at 9:37 a.m. Galey and Sergeant Kenneth Burchell, another of the unit's helicopter pilots, hear a loud thud and then look up to see a column of smoke rising from the vicinity of the Pentagon. Galey will recall, "We all knew" this was another terrorist attack. He will add, "[W]e've all been expecting something like this, for an attack of some sort." However, Galey does not initially realize the smoke rising up in the distance is coming from the Pentagon. He will say he only "suspected it was some military installation over there." (Bohn 11/19/2001; Galey 11/20/2001; McDonnell 2004, pp. 19-20 )
Controller Reports Crash, but Accounts Conflict - Soon, the "aircraft crash phone" in the aviation unit office rings, setting off a distinctive horn alarm. This phone is a direct communications line from the control tower at Washington's Reagan National Airport, which enables the aviation unit to respond quickly to incidents at the airport. Galey answers the call. (McDonnell 2004, pp. 20 ; Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 161-162) On the other end of the line is air traffic controller David Walsh (see (9:38 a.m.) September 11, 2001). According to author Lynn Spencer, Walsh yells down the phone: "Aircraft down at the Pentagon! Aircraft down at the Pentagon!" (Federal Aviation Administration 9/18/2001; Spencer 2008, pp. 158-159) Galey will give a similar account in a January 2002 interview, recalling that Walsh tells him that "they had a 757 go into the Pentagon and they needed us to respond to the incident." (Galey 1/17/2002) But in November 2001, Galey will recall that Walsh says, "We have a 757 down somewhere in the vicinity of the 14th Street Bridge"—a bridge over the Potomac River, near the Pentagon. (Forror 11/2001) Later that month, Galey will state that Walsh says the tower has "lost a 757 somewhere in the vicinity of the Pentagon." (Galey 11/20/2001)
Controller Reports Crash at Airport, according to Some Accounts - However, on another occasion Galey will say that Walsh tells him, "[W]e have a 757 down on the north end of the airport." (Line 9/21/2002) And Sergeant Keith Bohn, another of the Park Police helicopter pilots, will give a similar account, recalling that in the initial phone call the aviation unit receives about the attack, it is informed that there is "an aircraft down at the end of the runway at National Airport." Bohn will say he only learns the correct location of the crash while he is starting up his helicopter to respond, at which time he talks with someone in the unit's other helicopter, and "they told me, in disbelief, that the aircraft had in fact hit the Pentagon." (Bohn 11/19/2001)
Helicopters Reach Pentagon Minutes after Attack - The crew of one of the unit's helicopters, which has the call sign "Eagle I," comprises Galey as pilot, rescue technician Sergeant John Marsh, and rescue team officer John Dillon. The crew of the other helicopter, "Eagle II," comprises pilots Burchell and Bohn, aviation unit commander Lieutenant Philip Cholak and assistant commander Sergeant Bernard Stasulli, and two Defense Department medics, Keith Kettell and Jason Kepp. (US Congress. House 9/11/2002; Line 9/21/2002; McDonnell 2004, pp. 20 ) Eagle I is the first of the two helicopters to take off and arrive on the scene of the attack, according to most accounts. (Bohn 11/19/2001; US Congress. House 9/11/2002; NBC 4 9/11/2003) According to National Park Service reports, it is in the air less than two minutes after the aviation unit hears of the attack, and Eagle II follows it a minute later. (Line 9/21/2002; National Park Service 10/22/2002) But according to the Arlington County After-Action Report, Eagle I takes off at "approximately 9:43 a.m." and Eagle II takes off eight minutes later, at 9:51 a.m. (US Department of Health and Human Services 7/2002, pp. A-45 ) Furthermore, according to Galey, Eagle II is in fact the first of the helicopters to launch, while Eagle I, in which he flies, takes off right after it. (Galey 11/20/2001) The two helicopters arrive at the Pentagon within six minutes of the attack there, according to Rotor and Wing magazine. (Forror 11/2001; Forror 2/2002) They are the first helicopters to arrive at the scene of the crash. (NBC 4 9/11/2003)
One Helicopter Lands, Other Circles Overhead - Eagle I remains airborne, circling overhead and assuming command and control of the airspace. Eagle II lands on a paved roadway 150 to 200 yards from the crash site, according to the National Park Service's account of 9/11, and then some of its crew members grab their emergency medical equipment and run toward the building. After a time, Bohn moves the helicopter closer to the Pentagon. (Galey 11/20/2001; McDonnell 2004, pp. 20-21 ) According to Bohn's recollections, Eagle II initially lands in "the grass area of the cloverleaf" of Route 27 and Columbia Pike. But after "maybe 10 minutes," Bohn takes off and moves the helicopter to the road by the Pentagon helipad. (Bohn 11/19/2001)
Helicopter Takes Off with Two Patients - The triage officer at the Pentagon indicates that there are 11 individuals requiring medical evacuation, but eventually only two severely burned patients are carried onto Eagle II. Minutes after landing outside the Pentagon, the helicopter takes off and flies the patients to the Washington Hospital Center. (USU Medicine 12/2002 ; McDonnell 2004, pp. 20, 22 ) While most accounts describe Park Police helicopters only taking off in the minutes after the attack on the Pentagon, Navy historian John Darrell Sherwood will later say that at least one of the aviation unit's helicopters took off before the Pentagon was hit, and it was directed to intercept the aircraft approaching the Pentagon (see Shortly Before 9:35 a.m. September 11, 2001). And several witnesses will report seeing a helicopter near the Pentagon just before the attack there (see (9:35 a.m.-9:36 a.m.) September 11, 2001). (Parsons 12/13/2001; Washington Post 9/5/2002; Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 258)
A US Park Police helicopter that is responding to the attack on the Pentagon and flying above the building transmits a live video feed of the crash scene to the FBI and other agencies, providing them with instant information about the extent of the damage and destruction at the Pentagon. (US Congress. House 9/11/2002; Line 9/21/2002) The helicopter, which has the call sign "Eagle I," is one of two helicopters belonging to the Park Police Aviation Unit that arrived at the Pentagon minutes after the attack there (see Shortly After 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001). (Forror 11/2001) It has microwave "downlink" capability, which enables its crew to fly over a particular location and transmit instantaneous video images to the Park Police chief's command post and other locations.
FBI Requests Video of Crash Scene - Shortly after Eagle I arrives over the Pentagon, the crew receives a request from the FBI to send it information using the downlink on their helicopter's video camera. (McDonnell 2004, pp. 22 ) According to Sergeant Ronald Galey, the pilot of Eagle I, the FBI arrives on the scene "within 10 minutes or 15 minutes" of his helicopter reaching the Pentagon. Galey will later recall: "We heard from them immediately: 'Start your downlink, we want to capture everything that we can.'" (Galey 11/20/2001) The downlink capability then enables the crew of Eagle I "to transmit real-time images and information to people who needed them to make decisions," according to the National Park Service's account of 9/11. As well as the FBI, the images are sent to the Secret Service, the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police, and Park Police headquarters. Eagle I spends "the next four or five hours flying overhead and transmitting video images to the FBI." (Line 9/21/2002; McDonnell 2004, pp. 23 )
Fire Department Chief Goes Up in Helicopter - The Park Police's two Bell 412 helicopters are packed with sophisticated equipment. As well as the microwave downlink, they have an infrared heat detection system known as FLIR (forward looking infrared). When the Arlington County Fire Department later has difficulty getting its equipment to the proper locations to fight the fires in the Pentagon, its chief will be taken up in Eagle I and flown low over the building. The infrared imagery will help him locate the fires under the roof so he can better position his firefighting crews and equipment. (Galey 1/17/2002; Forror 2/2002; McDonnell 2004, pp. 23-24 )
A US Park Police helicopter that recently arrived over the Pentagon is contacted by an air traffic controller at Washington's Reagan National Airport and given responsibility for controlling the airspace over Washington, DC, since the control tower at Reagan Airport is being evacuated. (Galey 11/20/2001; US Department of Health and Human Services 7/2002, pp. A-48 ; McDonnell 2004, pp. 21 ) The Park Police Aviation Unit's two helicopters arrived at the Pentagon within minutes of the attack there (see Shortly After 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001). (Forror 11/2001) While one of the helicopters landed to conduct medical evacuations, the other, which has the call sign "Eagle I," circled overhead. (Galey 11/20/2001; McDonnell 2004, pp. 20-21 )
Airport Tower Being Evacuated - Eagle I has made three or four orbits around the Pentagon when a controller in the Reagan Airport tower radios its pilot, Sergeant Ronald Galey. The controller says the tower is currently evacuating. (Galey 11/20/2001; Galey 1/17/2002) According to some accounts, the tower is being evacuated due to reports of more hijacked aircraft heading in its direction (see (9:55 a.m.) September 11, 2001). (NBC 4 9/11/2003; Spencer 2008, pp. 215-216) But according to other accounts, the controller tells Galey the tower is evacuating because it is being affected by smoke that is drifting across from the burning Pentagon. (US Department of Health and Human Services 7/2002, pp. A-48 ; McDonnell 2004, pp. 21 ; Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 162) Galey will recall the controller saying: "Eagle I, we can't see anything outside the tower. [The smoke is] getting in our ventilation system. We're abandoning the tower." Therefore, the controller gives Galey control of the airspace for the entire Washington area, telling him, "You've got the airspace." (Galey 11/20/2001; McDonnell 2004, pp. 21 )
Pilot Alarmed at Being Given Control of Airspace - The control tower at Reagan Airport is "normally the 'nerve center' for directing any response to this type of incident," according to a National Park Service news article. (Line 9/21/2002) Galey is initially alarmed. He will recall thinking, "Exactly what I need right now is I've got control of the airspace." (Galey 11/20/2001) However, he is unaware that the FAA has ordered that all airborne aircraft must land at the nearest airport (see (9:45 a.m.) September 11, 2001), which will make his task easier. (US Congress. House. Committee On Transportation And Infrastructure 9/21/2001; McDonnell 2004, pp. 21 ; 9/11 Commission 7/24/2004, pp. 29)
NORAD Advises Pilot on Controlling Airspace - The controller gives Galey the radio frequency for NORAD, and tells him to contact NORAD. (Galey 1/17/2002; McDonnell 2004, pp. 21-22 ) The person Galey then talks to at NORAD informs him: "Look, you have no [air] traffic in DC, except for the traffic that you're calling. The aircraft that you're calling in, we're going to allow to come in. Other than that, there should be no one besides the military, and we'll call you out the military traffic." Galey will later reflect: "So that helped tremendously. That function alone was not very taxing." (Galey 11/20/2001) The person at NORAD also tells Galey there is "an unauthorized aircraft inbound from the Pennsylvania area, with the estimated time of arrival approximately 20 minutes into DC." Galey will recall that he and the rest of his crew discuss what they should do, and decide that "we'd take our chances and stay there [at the Pentagon], and do what we came there to do." (Galey 1/17/2002)
Airspace Control Passed on to Metropolitan Police Helicopter - Eagle I becomes "the air traffic control function for the area, flying a slow racetrack pattern over the site and clearing aircraft in and out," according to Lieutenant Philip Cholak, the Park Police Aviation Unit commander. (Wagstaff 10/1/2001) But after a time Galey asks his paramedic to request that a Metropolitan Police helicopter be launched to take over the command and control of the Washington airspace. He tells the paramedic: "You know we're going to have to do a medevac mission here. We're going to have to relinquish the command/control function to somebody else." A Metropolitan Police helicopter subsequently arrives and relieves Eagle I of its command and control function. (Galey 11/20/2001; McDonnell 2004, pp. 22 )
Sergeant Ronald Galey, the pilot of a US Park Police helicopter responding to the attack on the Pentagon, asks the Maryland State Police to send medical evacuation (medevac) helicopters to help out at the crash scene, but is told, "No, we can't respond," apparently because the airspace has been shut down. (Forror 11/2001; Galey 11/20/2001) Galey is flying one of the two Park Police Aviation Unit helicopters that arrived at the Pentagon within minutes of the attack there (see Shortly After 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001). His helicopter has been circling overhead while the other Park Police helicopter landed to conduct medical evacuations. They are currently the only helicopters to have arrived on the scene.
Pilot Wants More Helicopters to Assist at the Pentagon - Realizing that his helicopter cannot provide its current command and control function and conduct medical evacuations at the same time, Galey requests assistance from other departments that have helicopters equipped to transport injured patients. The first department he calls is the Maryland State Police. (Galey 11/20/2001; McDonnell 2004, pp. 20-22 ) The Maryland State Police Aviation Command owns 12 helicopters and most of its work involves medical transport, with its helicopters carrying injured patients to hospital. (Maryland State Police 2/16/2003; Desmon 3/7/2006) According to Galey, the unit has "the most resources for aircraft, medevac aircraft, that we knew were manned and ready to go." However, Galey will later recall, in response to his request, "they came back and said, 'No, we can't respond.'"
Maryland Police Think They Cannot Launch Helicopters - When Galey is told that the unit cannot respond, he and the rest of his crew are "very shocked," and, Galey will say, "[T]hat's when we were starting to suspect there was something more to it." According to later accounts, the unit cannot respond because the airspace has been shut down. (Forror 11/2001; Galey 11/20/2001) (The FAA has issued a nationwide "ground stop" that prevents any aircraft from taking off (see (9:26 a.m.) September 11, 2001) and has also ordered that all airborne aircraft must land at the nearest airport (see (9:45 a.m.) September 11, 2001). (US Congress. House. Committee On Transportation And Infrastructure 9/21/2001; 9/11 Commission 7/24/2004, pp. 25, 29) Galey is currently unaware that the airspace has been shut down. However, the Maryland State Police helicopters should be able to respond all the same, because NORAD has told him, "The aircraft that you're calling in, we're going to allow to come in" (see (Shortly After 9:55 a.m.) September 11, 2001). According to Galey, the Maryland State Police "just didn't know [that] if we requested them they could come."
Other Departments Send Helicopters - Galey then contacts MedStar at the Washington Hospital Center and AirCare at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia. Each of them dispatches helicopters to the Pentagon. Galey will recall that these two departments "hadn't gotten the word that the airspace was shut down, and since I'm the one who requested the aircraft and informed NORAD, NORAD allowed them to come in." (Forror 11/2001; Galey 11/20/2001) It is unclear exactly when Galey contacts the different departments. But according to the Arlington County After-Action Report, the helicopter that MedStar launches arrives at the Pentagon at around 10:18 a.m. Inova Fairfax Hospital launches one helicopter at "approximately 10:00 a.m." and then sends a second helicopter to the Pentagon at around 10:40 a.m. (US Department of Health and Human Services 7/2002, pp. A-45 )
A US Park Police helicopter that has been assisting in the response to the Pentagon attack has to respond to a sudden influx of reports of emergencies that are in fact false alarms. (Bohn 11/19/2001; Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 164) The helicopter, with the call sign "Eagle II," is one of two Park Police Aviation Unit helicopters that arrived at the Pentagon shortly after the attack there (see Shortly After 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001). (NBC 4 9/11/2003; Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 161-162) After transporting two patients from the Pentagon to the Washington Hospital Center, Eagle II returned to the aviation unit's hangar in Anacostia Park to pick up a Secret Service agent. (McDonnell 2004, pp. 22 ) Sergeant Keith Bohn, the pilot of Eagle II, will later recall: "The Secret Service had some requests for us to check. Things like the White House perimeter, the downtown areas, the rooftops. There were a lot of things coming up." Suddenly, the helicopter has to respond to a mass of reports of additional emergencies. According to Bohn, "All of a sudden, everything was just unbelievable—to check bridges for abandoned cars, which were believed to be packed with explosives." Eagle II is then "running from one report of things to another report." These reported emergencies turn out to be false alarms. According to Bohn, "Actually, in the city [of Washington, DC], nothing else, in essence, happened that day, but… lots of fear was running rampant." Bohn will add, "We were chasing our tail and everyone else's all around town from Memorial Bridge, 14th Street Bridge, the White House; the Capitol was involved in wanting some perimeter checks, doing all that." (Bohn 11/19/2001; Goldberg et al. 2007, pp. 164) Numerous emergencies in the Washington area are being incorrectly reported around this time (see (Between 9:50-10:40 a.m.) September 11, 2001).

Ha ha ha!
So since my truck has the after market bumper, there are unfortunately no front tow hooks. Maybe the move for me is to just get the blocker beam replacement one, and have a tow hooks insert for it, or weld some tow hooks to the blocker beam replacement hitch?
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
I got a little lost, if your truck doesn't have the blocker beam you wont be able to install the blocker beam receiver. Also the tow hooks are not needed but they are wider then the section that is sandwhiched so you don't even have to have them or put them on. Just removal for installation purposes etc.
I would reach out to etrailer or see if you can download the instructions. If your aftermarket bumper has the clearance or opening in the same spot as the oem foglights you may just need some longer bolts. But without seeing how yours is mounted its all guessing to be honest. If you have some fab skills you could always see what it takes to buy a 2in receiver tube and some angle iron and brace it to your current bumper. I wanted a winch style bumper for the looks but I don't use the winch but once or twice a year at max. I am going to the shop this weekend though so I can try and take some pictures but 90% is covered by the oem front bumper. Hopefully some will help with your future project.
I think etrailer even has an install video. They are usually detailed and may help more.

Happy Sunday folks. HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT OUR LATEST AND GREATEST NEWS?? Sorry for yelling, but we are very excited. On Friday we launched the EHD Insider Community and y'all, we couldn't be more thrilled to interact with you all such more personal levels. Head here to read all about what it is and here to sign up for a FREE two-week trial. See you there!
Alright now that we've settled down a bit let's get into the link up:
Today's home tour is the stunning work of Lonika Chande. Lonkia took on her mother as one of her first solo clients for a long term rental property. Let's just say all of us want to move in. I mean LOOK at the kitchen!
From Emily: I'm all out of teen soapy shows so I was PSYCHED when the second season of Roswell (the reboot, not the original although I loved the original) came out this week on Netflix. Sure it deals with an alien/human love but it also has a really diverse cast and is set in New Mexico and has great conversation about immigration. So ya, alien sex and progressive politics, which I guess is my jam (?).
Also from Emily: I know it's a splurge but this swimsuit is still my favorite (although I love my red one from last year that is no longer available). I posted the black one last year but since I like the color I got (sapphire blue) this year and LOVE IT, I wanted to talk about it again. Here's why: The double layer on the front hides dimples and the diagonal seams are very flattering. The thighs don't cut it AT ALL. In fact, it's a tiny bit cheeky, FYI and most importantly it has support for the ladies (with adjustable straps). I can be active with my kids but still feels cute. I think it's especially great for ladies with larger ladies.
From Sara: I bought this honeysuckle and jasmine candle from the Cedar Street Candle's and I'm obsessed with it. It's the perfect summer scent. Y'all KNOW I love a candle. Plus this is small, independent candle company, which I love. Next up I want to order Eucalyptus and Sage.
From Mallory: If you're like me and you've struggled with finding women's deodorant that ACTUALLY works, look no further than this lil blurb. I found a scent of Old Spice that smells deliciously gender-neutral (while simultaneously making me feel like a lady) and it lasts for hours. Bye B.O. see you never! This was a hot topic between Arlyn, Veronica, and I, and if you signed up for Arlyn's weekly newsletter (which if not, you should!) she wrote about her deodorant journey a few weeks back. They particularly love this natural deodorant, which I've found hasn't worked as well for me personally, but if you want to go the natural route (which is probably better for everyone if it works), then this is the brand to go with! Have you guys had as much trouble finding a deodorant that works for you?? If yes, let's chat in the comments, I think this is so crazy that it's this hard!
From Caitlin: I'm very excited because I think I have finally decided on colors for my living room and dining room! I thiiiiiiink I'm going to go with this for the former and with this for the latter (yes, it is going to look like I'm throwing a baby shower, and yes, I'm into it anyway). But y'all, I picked up these samples (+15 others) in MARCH and it's been tough trying to narrow it down because they're all good. If you haven't tried Clare yet, I swear that it lives up to the hype AND the swatches stay sticky even though I've moved them around about 8,000 times in every room of my house. Get a sample, love it, order paint, and get everything you need (including tools!) shipped to your door. (This isn't sponsored but I wish it was. PS. Emily posted a sneak peek of Clare paint in a new bathroom project over on the community and it's gonna be so good.)
From Jess: Here is a website to help support Breonna Taylor and here is an Instagram account that gives a ton of info on how to help Elijah McClain. We have to keep pushing.
Also from Jess: Like most everyone dealing with the summer heat, I have been looking for affordable, cute, and relatively modest clothing that is light and works for summer. So I ordered this shirtdress and I really love it. It's not the kind of dress I would wear on a date (Dates? Who knows when those will be a real thing again). But it's a comfortable dress that is breezy AND has pockets. Plus I really love the burgundy color:)
That is it for this Sunday's link-up. Hope that you have a good rest of your weekend and take a moment to take some action. See you tomorrow and can't wait to talk about all things design in The EHD Insider Community.

LOVE those colors! you will love your house all those colors. my dining room was formerly a shade of pink almost exactly like that pink from Clare ( i know because i just ordered samples from them) and i painted it white. missing the pink, so now i'm adding back some color. my other rooms are tangerine and was formerly a golden yellow (now painted white due to the cabinet/countertop situation). i loved it. i lived in that sunset for almost 12 years. and it was happiness wrapped up and splashed on the walls. please show us pictures when you're done!
ah i saw your transformation on instagram! so glad to hear a vote of confidence for color 🙂 and HECK YEAH, i absolutely will!
I have had the hardest time finding the right deodorant! I like to use natural deodorant but find it so hard to find one that works. I usually use Kopari or megababe but they don't work well enough during the summer when I'm biking to and from work so I just recently bought the Donna Karen deodorant which smells and works great but is very expensive for deodorant.
Arlyn's tried and tested natural (no dangerous aluminium that causes cancer) is SCHMIDT'S WITH CHARCOAL
I use an all natural one that's okay, not great and next up, I'll be trying Schmidt's.
I don't want to open a can of worms here, but there is no reputable scientific evidence that shows a causal link between the aluminum (or the parabens) in commercial deodorants/antiperspirants and cancer (or Alzheimers). Use natural ones if you enjoy them, by all means, but if they don't work for you, there's no reason to panic about using a store brand.
I think, for me, whether there is scientific evidence or not, I don't want to put anything extra that "might" be harmful on my skin if there is an alternative, considering it's a big organ.
The thing for me is about the total concoction and the effects.
Also, anti-persperant STOPS your sweat glands from doing their thing.
Deoderants deoderize the smell of sweat, but your body still functions.
I don't have time available to link theresearch, but… it's there. Just Google it and have a look via Mayo, etc.
Ahh Rusty! Do you get Arlyn's newsletter too?! That was a great one : )
Ooooooh yeah! You bet I do! 😍
Rusty no one is more passionate about deoderant than our Arlyn. She pitched deoderant posts all the time 🙂
HAHAHA this comment made me laugh. And I AM passion about deodorant (what a strange thing to admit).
I'd been considering Schmidt's for awhile coz it's available in Australia… you convinced me. 👍
Iiiiiii knnnnnnow!!! x
I've tried them all, from inexpensive to expensive, and the best one for my body has been North Coast Organics Death by Lavender deodorant. It's $10 at Whole Foods or Amazon, and has a nice subtle lavender and coconut scent — and the formulation actually helps with both sweat and stink on me. Lavanila's and Kopari's deodorants just made my sweat smell better.
I am now legit hypersensitive to chemicals and fragrances (started in my mid 30s – super fun – almost 100% sure caused by refinishing furniture for years with no chemical mask – stupid, i know) and have to be ridiculously careful about ingredients in my world or I will feel HORRIBLE for days. So, everything I use nowadays is so ridiculously natural and fragrance free (not the same as unscented; unscented just means they use chemicals to mask scents) that I feel like I probably have the lowest amount of chemical exposure than I've ever had in my life. I could seriously count all of my personal care products on one hand, including makeup, which I rarely wear anymore. Anyway, all of this to say that I recommend Schmidt's Fragrance Free deodorant. I often don't even wear deodorant anymore unless I have to go somewhere because I work from home and everything is shutdown anyway. BUT, if I do have to go out, this is what I use. And it works great. A lot of natural deodorants don't work as well as the toxic stuff, but I can totally vouch for this one. I'm also trying a new one called… Read more »
I have spent SO MUCH money trying all different natural deodorants and I've tried all brands and price points. There were a couple that would work for a couple weeks and then no more.
I'm about to give up and take my chances with the old anti-perspirant (Dove). I'm tired of smelling awful!
My friend suzanne says (this should be a new blog or IG account, i feel like all i say is 'suzanne says' followed by imperative advice) that you have to go on a fast from ALL deodorants for a month to start fresh with a new one and see if it works. like you have to starve your pits and torture your nose for a while. i suppose quarantine is a good time for this.
Yes! I was going to post this but I thought people would think I was nuts. I read this years ago and I did it!!! I am virtually deodorant free because of going cold turkey. Now my pits just don't really stink and so I only wear a natural deodorant when I feel I really, really should. I don't know if it works for everyone but it really did work for me.
Am I the only hippie making her own deodorant? I found the recipe (starch, tea tree oil, coconut oil and baking soda) on Crunchy Betty. Now I don't smell, never run out, and it's all natural.
Try it, it works!
I'm really surprised to see Dr. Disrespect on here after he's been banned from Twitch, for reasons unknown.. also some of his jokes about Covid, skirt really close to spreading conspiracy theories. Maybe research the wide context of links before posting?
hi rebecca! we write these linkups pretty early in the week and schedule them before we leave the office on friday (clearly i just have no work life balance, ha) but i've texted ryann. saw this happened yeseterday, thanks for the heads up!
Okay … so, the swimsuit (we call them "bathers" in Aussie land) actually ship to Australia from the USA!! That's an improvement on most of the gear recommended coz we can't get it here. Yay.
Mind you, bathers are one thing I HAVE to try on first. In Australia bathers and undies are non-returnable for hygiene reasons/laws.
Great inspiration though. I love the style and support.
Oh girl, you opened the natural deodorant can of worms. I want to to LOVE it, but it has been a challenge. Regular Schmidt's caused a bad rash, gave to a friend pre-Covid who used and forgot about my rash and thought she had cancer, until she finally mentioned it and I was able to remind her of my experience. Like Schmidt's sensitive but wanted something sustainable. Use Myro now, because I adore the container and scents, and it is refillable. However the formula just doesn't work for me. Now that I going to be interacting with humans again, I need something that is effective. I am close to going back to Secret.
It's usually the baking soda in the natural deodorants that can cause a rash- some people have a terrible problem with it, some adjust and some never experience it. The alternative is magnesium based natural deodorants of which there are a few- I thiiiink Schmidt's even does one. I'm a fan of Dove's aluminum-free deodorants as I can get that OG cucumber scent without the aluminum (even though I just don't really know what side of the fence I'm on with that debate)
HA I'm sorry I opened this can! It's an important discussion 🙂
I've had a similar experience, and for some reason the old spice has worked the best for me thus far, but I want to hop on the natural deodorant bandwagon SO badly…guess for now I'll keep using this until I can find one that works!
Native is my favorite and they now have sustainable packaging!
Is that the mass-murderer Lenin on the wall of the featured home tour? Is Pol Pot next?
Now we're policing people's art choices in their own homes?
Calm down, Lee. I didn't ask for its removal for that would be policing, but rather pointed out its presence, horrific though that may be. Maybe its just cute nostalgia for the Comintern … one of those cool retro things some of us love and others abhor.
As someone born in former (thank god) USSR I found this choice of 'art' equivalent to a garland of swastikas in terms of historical insensitivity and ignorance. I'm disappointed to see it here and still hopeful it's just an accidental lookalike.
oh wow. looking into this now. thanks for the heads up.
i'm sorry Inga if that is indeed Lenin and it makes you feel that way. we are looking into this now and will replace the image tomorrow if it is him.
It IS him: anyone born in the former Soviet block will recognise that face, and really wonder how a murder's portrait can be used as a central piece of an art wall, and plastered in blissfull ignorance over social media. Just google Red Terror.
There were millions of mass killings under the communist regime in the 20th century; exact numbers are not known because the records are inaccurate, but some sources claim 10 million others claim much, much more. My family is from Lithuania, former USSR, and great-grandparents died, were killed, in Soviet gulag labour camps. Many under the regime died of famine and massacres. I was shocked to see the central photo of Lenin on a Sunday morning.
I started making my own deodorant and it has the same ingredients as Schmidt's. I love it! The recipe is 1/2 cup arrowroot powder, 1/3 cup baking soda mixed together evenly. Then mix 6-8 Tablespoons coconut oil. And any essential oils. (I did 6 Tablespoons coconut oil and lavender essential oil). I stored in an airtight glass container and rub it on like lotion. It works great, lasts forever, and does away with plastic packaging!
Thinking bout tryingthis! Thanks 🌼
Being doing it for years, best deodorant ever!
Secret Clinical Strength Clear Gel. Works like a charm.
My candle obsession — sweet clover and alfalfa from Kansas Earth and Sky. Makes me feel like a midwestern kid again. https://www.kansasearthandskycandle.com
Lume deodorant works great for me especially if I reapply at lunch time. Native worked for awhile then stopped working. I have tried all the natural ones and these were best for me!
The deodorant struggle is so real, I've been through SEVERAL. Currently I'm using one from Little Seed Farm and it's been working like a dream. (Knock on wood)
ooh good to know. i'm going to try a billion and I wish that we could do a review but I think you have to wear one for a month before you can really tell if its 'working'. right?
I've been using Lume for the past 3-4 months. I really like it. The company claims that it works for up to 72 hours…not sure how accurate that is, but if I reapply before running in the heat, I have no problems and I sweat a lot. It's the best alternative deodorant that I've tried.
thats a good testimonial, for sure. (FRIENDS i don't wear deodorant – fun fact about me). I need to especially during certain times of the month, but I don't own any and always forget to order so I've got to get some).
Don't know if I'm just technology challenged but when I'm on my phone and click your links, I can't get back to the article by touching the back arrow. I have to close and start over by opening the article all over again. Can someone help me so I don't have to do this?
that sounds very annoying. we'll look into it asap. thank you for letting us know!
I found a darling black one piece Ralph Lauren suit on sale; originally $120 but found it for $20. So tossing a cheapo black suit into the give away pile. You do have to dig a lot of dirt in order to find a truffle, but they're out there!
How do I sign up for Arlyn's weekly newsletter?
Sara wrote about it a while back.
It's fabulous!
Caitin! Juicy colors, I love Clare and their colors. This is not nursery stuff but high end chic!
So here's why I'm not paying $10/mo for content from EHD…
This post has sooo many typos I lost count. But hey, whatever, not everybody does the English as good as I…
What really gets me is this: "From Jess: Here is a website to help support Breonna Taylor and here is an Instagram account that gives a ton of info on how to help Elijah McClain. We have to keep pushing."
Breonna Taylor and Elijah McClain were murdered. How exactly are they to be supported and helped? They are deceased. The loved ones they leave behind are the ones who need support. What lazy writing.
I come to look at the pictures. I need to stop reading the words.
I appreciate the feedback. I think you have made the right decision to not join our supportive/inclusive community because we don't allow unproductive, mean comments that disregard the intent of the writers who are also human beings that I care about (of course we ALWAYS welcome constructive and kind criticism for self – and company – improvement). Besides, in our community, a lot of my own daily conversations, responses and "design agony advice" are full of typos due to what I call "fast finger enthusiasm". I'm having too much fun to be careful about typos and thats ok. 🙂 I'm glad you like our pictures.
YASS Emily. Mic drop.
You can still give support to someone that's deceased?
I have tried pretty much every natural deodorant on the market and by far the best one I have tried is Real Purity roll on. Nothing else comes close to working as well as this one. Highly recommend.
Huh. I just switched one day to Arm & Hammer natural deodorant, found conveniently at the 99 Cent store. Works great for me, didn't have to do a detox. I think it has to do with the different chemistry of people's skin. If it's a hot day and I have to be around people or I'm out exercising or I think I'll need stronger coverage, I'll apply the good 'ol regular Secret antiperspirant, also conveniently at the 99 Cent store!
Now that you all probably want to dump the paint colors Emily has left over on my head, let me assure you that I, um…do have other problems. Big problems. No, really! I mean, the dog eats my socks. #naturaldeoproblems #thestruggleissmelly
How about trying Primally Pure deodorant- California made and woman-owned company! The lavender is wonderful.
Worth a try! They have many pure products!
Ok the red Heidi Klein swimsuit you shared, Emily, was one of the BEST purchased I made last year. Seriously. It's worth every penny and is made SO well, is SO flattering, and SO good for moms chasing kiddos. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing!
So happy it was such a success!!
FYI, beware! I stopped using Schmidt's with charcoal deodorant because it left dark stains on my clothes! I switched to Native and ordered a variety pack. The scents are heavenly! I am currently using cucumber mint. So far it's effective, too.

You have probably seen a hookah. Most kids who grew up in america have almost certainly seen a hookah. However, like most people, you have probably forgotten what one looks like and what they are used for. Think back. Remember the tale of a woman named Alice who apparently stranded in a strange, imaginative world. The musical instrument isn't actually a musical instrument in any respect. It is, in actuality, a hookah and this hookah-smoking caterpillar is the way most kids get their first glimpse of the curiously strange smoking apparatus. Austin Wildlife Removal
When Lewis Carroll wrote the story of Alice in 1865, hookahs was in existence and in use for many centuries. Though never really common in European countries, the hookah was and is still highly popular in Eastern cultures such as Egypt and India. So, how can it be that this mysterious thing known as hookah hasn't seen its day in Europe or, in more recent times, the United States?
Before, cigars are the'gourmet cigarette' for those wanting to break from the traditional, cigarette-smoking mold. Crafted from higher-grade tobaccos and hand-rolled in exotic lands, cigars have become a genuine contender to the additive-infused smokes of modern day. Cigars have become so popular, actually, that they've cropped up an entire industry that's based around their presence. Along with cigar stores, cigar bars have shown that smoking-tailored institutions can be equally socially-acceptable and enormous profit centers for their owners. It's society's acceptance of this cigar bar which makes hookah bars and hookah cafes a chance!
There's absolutely not any doubt that the tobacco industry has seen better days and, from the aftermath of the Big Tobacco lawsuits, it is a wonder that these organizations are still around. That's an awesome cocktail of compounds that cigarette smokers are putting in their bodies whenever they decide to light up! In contrast, today's hookah tobacco, commonly called shisha (pronounced: shee-shuh), is comprised only of a couple of natural ingredients. These ingredients are usually tobacco, organic glycerin or honey, sugar and natural flavorings. That is 596 additives short of what might be in a normal, run-of-the-pack cigarette! Unfortunately, no significant study was performed to assess the health effects of smoking hookah. Thus, we will have to await a definitive response to that question.
When the Turkish devised the hookah centuries ago, they did so with a single goal in mind. Up to that time, tobacco was smoked in pipes which are reminiscent of American Indian peace pipes. The simplicity of this hookah made it an immediate hit and has been a significant reason hookahs are still prevalent in so many Eastern cultures. Though not originally intended when the hookah was devised, the water the smoke passes through really acts as a natural filter that helps filter tar and other impurities generated when tobacco is smoked. It was the addition of molasses, now substituted by organic glycerin, which slowed the pace at which the tobacco burned and really made it feasible to heat the tobacco as opposed to burning it. Heating tobacco contributes to greater taste potential and lowers the quantity of nicotine that's released while smoking.
The hookahs of now, while being updated and updated, have stayed true to their founder's initial aim. Traditionally made from brass and glass, hookahs are currently being produced of materials like acrylic, steel and crystal. Additionally, the once hand-crafted artwork has transformed to a full-blown industry that's selling record numbers of hookahs. Hookah shisha has come of age, also. Generation of hookah shisha is at an all-time large and major manufacturers are producing an increasing number of flavors to be consumed by clients globally. Flavors include everything from citrus apples and oranges to regional favorites such as bubble gum and vanilla. The precise combination of ingredients has also yielded a cigarette with taste that lasts longer. In actuality, 1 individual can smoke smoke a bowl of tobacco for almost an hour without needing to alter the tobacco.
A few of entrepreneurs have recognized the potential of the hookah and have started to open cafes and bars which are specifically-tailored toward the leasing and sales of hookahs. In only a brief time period, they have proven that there's some serious money to be made in the hookah service sector for those willing to venture into apparently unchartered lands. For most locations, no more than 10 to 15 hookahs per 1,000 square feet of customer seating area is adequate and will virtually guarantee there are sufficient hookahs to go around. When bought in larger lots, the price of every hookah can run anywhere from $20 to $80 bucks and a few wholesalers will even offer the hookahs for free if the pub or cafe agrees to buy their hookah tobacco in the corporation. Naturally, the leasing plan is completely up to the company owner and usually comprises just one bowl of hookah shisha to smoke. Lower-priced refills of hookah tobacco encourage clients to stick around and interact in the intimate atmosphere. Most clients don't smoke independently, opting rather for groups of 3 to 4 individuals. This will decrease the longevity of every bowl of tobacco and increase the amount of refills bought by each group.
Before you can start leasing hookahs, you must first consult local, state and national governments to make certain you won't be breaking any laws or regulations. For many areas, a tobacco sales tax permit or permit is all that's required to start renting hookahs. Naturally, this is supplemental to the normal state sales tax permit or permit. You'll also have to check local zoning requirements and determine the best place for your pub or cafe. There are several wholesalers available to receive your cafe or pub up and running in the shortest amount of time possible. It's strongly recommended that you opt for customer support and service over pennies saved, since it's often tricky to find companies that are in-tune with the American way of doing business.
Besides hookahs, you'll have to choose between a pub or cafe idea. Cafes are usually easier to open and take a minimal number of additional capital. The most significant expenditure is going to be the espresso machine, which will run anywhere from $2,000 to $14,000 depending on the brand, model and, when utilized, the age of the machine. Although not hookah-oriented, it is full of all the ins-and-outs of running a cafe and what's required to operate all the a variety of cafe machines. If you wish to start a hookah bar which serves alcoholic beverages, it's definitely recommended that you start close to a university or college campus. This provides you with a steady stream of fresh, fresh bodies which will save your bar from going rancid with the natives. The hookah bar concept, when coupled with college cities, has turned out to be the most successful and rewarding hookah business ventures. You'll need to cut significantly more'red tape' but the payoff must definitely be worth the time and energy. Hookah bars are among the fastest growing concepts for college cities and give a fresh, new atmosphere for 20-somethings to hang out.
As you can see, hookahs have edged their way into the American and European way of life. The cigar bars of the past have paved the way for a exceptional chance for the entrepreneurs of today. Hookah cafes and hookah bars stand to make millions by supplying the people with something that they have been on the lookout for and have not been able to see in the countless different cafes and bars.

I had listened to the story of the young and fiery Bhagat Singh who fought for the freedom of India in his own way from my ninety –seven year old friend, the one-time actor and filmmaker Chandrashekhar Vaidya. He had vividly described the way the young Bhagat Singh had first shot dead Lawrence Sanders who was responsible for killing the senior and most respected freedom fighter, Lala Lajpat Rai and had then been joined by some of his young fellow freedom fighters like Rajguru and Sukhdev had hurled bombs in a place of power. Shekhar Sahab relived that morning when Bhagat Singh who was now known as Shaheed (Martyr) Bhagat Singh and his friends walked up to the gallows in pre-partition Lahore on March 23, 1931 with Bharat and Azaadi in his heart and on his lips. He turned into an ideal and an idol that inspired thousands of young men to know how important it was to fight for freedom from the British Empire, even at the risk of losing one's life.
The fight for freedom continued even after Bhagat Singh's execution and the execution of hundreds of other men (and even women) till India attained total Independence from the British Empire. Shaheed Bhagat Singh was one who was given the greatest honour and respect when a portrait of his was unveiled in the first Indian House of Parliament.
Shaheed Bhagat Singh is still remembered by most Indians, especially on his date of birth (September 28, 1907) and the day he was executed (March 23, 1931). There are statues placed in different parts of the country, there are roads and squares named after him and his life is an important chapter in history books from the school level to the Universities where his life is still one of the important subjects to be studied…
But, frankly, how many of our youth today remember or even know the name Shaheed Bhagat Singh? This morning as India was observing the death anniversary of Bhagat Singh, I went around asking some young people if they had heard about Shaheed Bhagat Singh and I was ashamed to be an Indian to know that not one of the young people I talked to had heard of him. Some of them stared at my face as if I was a mad man and showed their ignorance and their audacity of asking, "Shaheed, who you said?".
If there is one section of Indians who have kept the legend of Shaheed Bhagat Singh alive, it is the Hindi film industry and whatever the reasons they may have had for making their films, one thing is sure, they have done for and to Bhagat Singh what no other institution, organisation or even the Governments from time to time have never done. It is in this light that I remember some of the significant films made on a larger than life hero like Shaheed Bhagat Singh…
SHAHEED-E-AZAD BHAGAT SINGH- This is the first film based on Bhagat Singh's life. The film was directed by Jagdish Gautam and had Prem Adeeb, Jairaj, Smriti Biswas and Ashita Mazumdar playing lead roles.
SHAHEED BHAGAT SINGH- Ten years after "Shaheed-e-Azad Bhagat Singh" was released, Shammi Kapoor played the martyr in "Shaheed Bhagat Singh". The film was directed by KN Bansal and besides Shammi Kapoor, the film starred Shakeela, Premnath, Ulhas and Achla Sachdev
SHAHEED- Starring Manoj Kumar, this film was immensely popular. The film won awards for Best Feature Film in Hindi, the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration and Best Story Award at the 13th National Film Awards. The film bears the name of S. Ram Sharma as the director but all those who were aware of the film knew that the film was the complete creation of Manoj Kumar who not only wrote the film, indirectly directed the film and also played the title role.
For the next three decades and more, there were no more films thought of or made on Bhagat Singh but there was a spurt of films on the character from history which began in 2002…
SHAHEED-E-AZAM- It was one of the three films released in 2002 based on Bhagat Singh's life. Sonu Sood played the role of Bhagat Singh. The film was made by the younger generation of the Sagars (Ramanand Sagar) but it failed to make any impact.
23rd MARCH 1931: SHAHEED- Starring Sunny Deol ,Bobby Deol and Amrita Singh, the film depicted the events leading up to the hanging of Bhagat Singh and his companions Rajguru and Sukhdev.
THE LEGEND OF BHAGAT SINGH- This film showed in detail how Singh came to develop his views on the British Raj and his struggle for Indian independence. Ajay Devgn played the role of Bhagat Singh and won the National Award for his performance.
RANG DE BASANTI-This film became a huge hit among youngsters and won several awards. Starring big stars such as Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi and Kunal Kapoor among others, the film was about revolutionaries of Bhagat Singh's era and covers Bhagat Singh's role in the Indian freedom struggle…
There are attempts still being made to find out other details about the life and struggles of Bhagat Singh. There are some filmmakers who are even willing to create fiction around his brave story, like trying to imagine if the twenty-three year old freedom fighter who was also a multi-talented personality could have had a love life, but I wonder if the genuine followers of Bhagat Singh will accept such a imaginary story.
In the meanwhile, politicians of every party are busy trying to make the best "use" of Bhagat Singh and even exploit his story to suit their selfish purposes and are right now heard screaming, "desh ka neta kaisa ho, Bhagat Singh jaisa ho". But will we ever have another Bhagat Singh?

An apocryphal story recounts that the 12th century Hoysala king Veera Ballala II, while on a hunting expedition, lost his way in the forest.Tired and hungry, he came across a poor old woman who served him boiled beans.
It was captured by the British East India Company after victory in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799), who returned administrative control of the city to the Maharaja of Mysore.In this inscription found in Begur, "Bengalūrū" is referred to as a place in which a battle was fought in 890 CE.It states that the place was part of the Ganga Kingdom until 1004 and was known as "Bengaval-uru", the "City of Guards" in Halegannada (Old Kannada).Following India's independence in 1947, Bangalore became the capital of Mysore State, and remained capital when the new Indian state of Karnataka was formed in 1956.The two urban settlements of Bangalore – city and cantonment – which had developed as independent entities merged into a single urban centre in 1949.The old city developed in the dominions of the Maharaja of Mysore and was made capital of the Princely State of Mysore, which existed as a nominally sovereign entity of the British Raj.
In 1809, the British shifted their cantonment to Bangalore, outside the old city, and a town grew up around it, which was governed as part of British India.It is home to many educational and research institutions, such as Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Indian Institute of Management (Bangalore) (IIMB), International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (IIITB), National Institute of Fashion Technology, Bangalore, National Institute of Design, Bangalore (NID R&D Campus), National Law School of India University (NLSIU) and National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS). It is the name of a village near Kodigehalli in Bangalore city today and was used by Kempegowda to christen the city as Bangalore at the time of its foundation.Numerous state-owned aerospace and defence organisations, such as Bharat Electronics, Hindustan Aeronautics and National Aerospace Laboratories are located in the city. The earliest reference to the name "Bengalūru" was found in a ninth-century Western Ganga Dynasty stone inscription on a "vīra gallu) (literally, "hero stone", a rock edict extolling the virtues of a warrior).hook up chats online dating photo tips hook up with someone right now, looking to hook up, online dating advice forum casual hookup app, relationship sites for free online dating photo tips online dating hookups.best dating site app online dating photo tips number 1 dating website best hook up site, date hookups; best adult hookup apps find online dating profiles, best place to hook up online online dating photo tips best online dating profile pictures ...
