BMW has updated its flagship saloon, with the introduction of the new 7 Series. We recently took a new 730d SE model for a trial, to see if it can live up to its rivals from Germany and Japan.
Visually, this new model features some subtle design changes to the front and rear over its predecessor, the trademark BMW kidney grille features nine slats instead of the usual 13, it also has an 8mm reduction in ride height resulting in a sleeker sporty stance. There's no doubting the large presence the 7 Series has, its size is most notably when driving on country roads, where you often find yourself positioned over the central part of the road to avoid the grass verge on the nearside. Although it's immense in stature, it handles with impeccable precision, enabling you to corner at speed with confidence, the chassis reacts to steering inputs with feedback given to the driver. The electronically controlled damping system is standard fitment across the 7 Series range, it can adjust each wheel individually to the road surface. The air suspension on the rear axle is self-levelling, this results in a comfortable ride for rear seat occupants despite the road surface and pace of the car. Rarely would you be in a hurry in a luxury car but should the need arise to be chauffeured out of trouble, the 7 Series is more than capable of losing the chasing pack.
The entry-level 730d (our test car) offers an optimum balance of economy and performance. Its 3.0-litre diesel engine complete with TwinPower turbo technology produces 258hp and a brawny 560Nm of torque. If you're after more power the 740d produces 313hp and 630Nm of torque. Of course there are some petrol models too, and now a ActiveHybrid variant, although the sensible motorist will opt for either of the two diesels. We found the power on offer from the 730d to be plentiful for all our requirements. It's an economical unit too, capable of returning a combined fuel consumption of 5.6l/100km (50.4mpg). Coupled with the standard fitment eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, the 7 Series is effortless to drive. It excels on long distances, crossing countries in this car could easily be achieved at a good turn of pace, having only to stop occasionally for food and fuel. BMW's Drive Performance Control, which is standard fitment, allows the driver to change between four different drive settings, Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and ECO PRO. Each setting varies the responsiveness of the steering, throttle and engine controls. We found the Comfort setting to offer the optimum balance for our variety of driving on motorways and around town.
Naturally for a luxury car, with a similarly lavish price tag (commencing from €88,200) the 7 Series has an interior that's sophisticated to meet the demands of its occupants. The sumptuous leather upholstery and ambient lighting create a tranquil atmosphere, with a peaceful ambience thanks to additional soundproofing which has been installed in the B and C pillars, as well as in the sills and boot. Comfort reclining seats are available as an optional extra for rear seat passengers and you can have a rear seat entertainment system, complete with two 9.2" colour screens. The long wheelbase model has an additional 140mm of rear seat legroom and an extra 10mm of rear seat headroom. The options list for the 7 Series is almost endless, our test car had almost €11,000 worth of additional extras, some of which should be standard fitment, such as the telephone USB audio interface and the reversing camera.
In the current climate we're not going to see many new 7 Series take to the roads, neither will we see many of its rivals, including the Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Lexus LS 600h. Its rivals all offer lavish amounts of comfort too. The 7 Series however, is a car that easily persuades you to switch from being chauffeured in, to taking position in the driver's seat. It's as rewarding to drive, as it is relaxing to be a passenger in.

The leather consumes with each pull exerted, a small amount of oil originally incorporated by the tanner.
Only specific oils, such as NOURISHING OIL by SOFOLK, deeply penetrate the fibers of the leather (deep inter-fibrillar space), to restore flexibility and resistance to tearing.
It nourishes and lubricates the core of the leather fiber mattress of your car seat, allowing the fibers to slide over each other without clinging, preventing the formation of cracks.

Two stories for you today – Both begin with hardship but one ends with redemption while the other ends as one of the greatest criminal cases in our nation's history – and possibly one of it's greatest injustices.
On this day, back in 1974, Betty Ford (Known for her husband, the President, and for her lovely center) had a radical mastectomy, and later became active in educating about breast cancer. How interesting then that this month we get both notification that too many drinks per day may lead to cancer (though another study the same day said 2 were just dandy – mental note girls…sip, don't chug) and in 2 weeks is the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure. Is it a coincidence that it all goes back to Betty? Hmmmm….
Next – on this day in 1915 Ethel Greenglass Rosenberg was born. (See picture) As one of four children living with their parents in an unheated NY tenement building, life was a constant struggle. She grew to be a smart girl, graduating high school at just 15. She worked for 4 years at a shipping company but was fired after organizing a strike of 150 workers. She married in the summer of 1939 shortly becoming a stay at home mom.
When the children were still young, her brother, who was being investigated by the FBI for espionage and admitted to stealing secrets for the Soviets, pointed to Ethel's husband Julius as being a part of the spy ring. Julius claimed innocence, so Ethel was arrested as well, August 11, 1950, in hopes of making Julius talk. They were offered a deal that if they told of others in the ring, Ethel would be released and Julius would only serve a few years – but they refused, swearing their innocence. They were brought to trial – with the only evidence of their guilt coming from her brother and his wife who admitted to actively participating in delivering nuclear secrets. Ethel's great offense was that she supposedly typed up notes from their meetings. April 5, 1951 Ethel and her husband were convicted of espionage – and sentenced to death.
After being on death row at Sing Sing for 26 months, Ethel and Julius, still claiming their innocence, were both executed on their 14th wedding anniversary – becoming the only Americans ever executed for spying.
Ethel's story is amazing. If you're interested in learning more about Ethel & Julius, the shock of the nation at their deaths, and even comments from one of their grown sons I suggest this resource (http://www.spartacus.school…) as one of the better 1 stop sites.
LUPEC Phoenix suggests that everyone find something that gets them excited, passionate and all riled up this weekend!

Memorial Day Program has new times, musical selections
This year's Memorial Day program has new times. The church service at Most Holy Redeemer Church will begin at 8 a.m. The parade from the church to the American Legion Post 79 for the program begins at 8:45 a.m. The program at the Legion begins at 9:15 a.m.
The program will also include prayers by Father Victor Valencia and Pastor Jason Pollington, musical selections by John Grimm and the Montgomery Area Veterans Honor Guard, and the Tri-City United High School Choir and Rianna Doyle.
It will also include the roll call for deceased veterans. When the name of a deceased veteran is called, close relatives should rise and a member of the American Legion or V.F.W. Auxiliary will give that person a tribute.
The speaker for this year's program will be Shawn Schloesser, retired U.S. Army Warrant Officer 4. He is a native of Le Center and a graduate of Austin Peay State University (BS) and Murray State University (MPA).
He joined Region Nine Development Commission in February after serving eight years on congressional staff for Congressman Tim Walz. While in that position, Schloesser provided outreach and engagement with veterans, service members and their families, legislative policy development and implementation oversight with the House Veterans Affairs Committee, and community engagement for rural vitality and disaster support across the 21-county region.
Prior to that role, Schloesser served for 23 years in the U.S. Army. He retired from military service in 2009 as a Chief Warrant Officer 4.
While in the Army, he served in a variety of positions as both a Non-Commissioned Officer and Warrant Officer at locations such as Fort Gordon, GA, Fort Campbell, KY; Seoul and Teague Korea, Heidelberg Germany and Chièvres Belgium.
Shawn is an alumnus Policy Fellow at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, alumnus of the Minnesota Agriculture and Rural Leadership program at Southwest Minnesota State University, and past board president of the Arts Center of St. Peter.
He lives in St. Peter with his wife and two teenage sons.
The program will end with the salute to deceased veterans, the playing of "Taps" and the Retirement of Colors.

"California, the home of many technology companies, should be a leader in protecting the privacy of people's electronic communications," EFF staff attorney Hanni Fakhoury said in Leno's release. "Many of the state's technology companies have already indicated that they require a search warrant before disclosing the contents of communications. With SB 467, the warrant requirement becomes the status quo for all electronic communication providers and all law enforcement agencies across the state."

We have added screen captures from "Regression" to our photo gallery! This is the last movie we were missing… we're ready for the next one now, Emma!
So this is some good news! Emma's latest movie, Disney's live-action adaptation "Beauty and the Beast" is returning to theaters next week! Fans in Los Angeles and New York City will have the chance to watch the movie starting December 1st. According to Entertainment Weekly, Variety and Deadline, this re-release is part of an awards push for the movie – so far, it seems to be a strong contender for Best Musical at the Golden Globes, at the very least.
This year's live-action version of Beauty and the Beast will be returning to the big screen for a one-week engagement in Los Angeles and New York, Dec. 1, Disney announced Monday.
Director Bill Condon's remake of the 1991 animated Disney classic stars Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as the Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston, Kevin Kline as Belle's father Maurice, and Josh Gad as LeFou. The Beast's household staff is voiced by Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Audra McDonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ian McKellen, and Emma Thompson.
Beauty and the Beast, which will play at the AMC Century City in L.A. and the AMC Empire 25 in New York City, was originally released March 17 and has earned $504 million at the domestic box office, making it, so far, 2017's highest-grossing film.
In addition to delighting fans in both cities, the release is also part of an awards push for the movie. (Members of AMPAS, BAFTA, ACE, ADG, ASC, CAS, DGA, HFPA, MPEG, MPSE, PGA, WGA, CDG, and VES will be admitted with a guest to screenings at both theaters with valid membership card.)
Source: Entertainment Weekly
Our gallery has
finally been updated with lots of screen captures of Emma's scenes in Colonia. The film was released a couple of years ago, and you can buy it on DVD, Blu-Ray or On Demand on sites like Amazon, Best Buy and iTunes.
Emma appears in Jimmy Kimmel's latest Celebrities Read Mean Tweets video! She was joined by many other stars, such as Gal Gadot, Kristen Bell, Jim Parsons, Alec Baldwin, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence.
Today marks 38 years ago the smartest and greatest witch of all time was born. Named Hermione Jean Granger, she would soon conquer Hogwarts with her brains and Gryffindor's courage. A role model to each one of us, an inspirational character that slowly won over our hearts, we thank J.K. Rowling for bringing this character into our lives and Emma Watson for portraying Hermione for 11 years. Happy birthday, Hermione!
"Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself."
Our latest (and likely final) old photoshoot additions are done! After months of trying to find/organize those files, they have been added to our photo gallery in all their glory. Our next planned updates will probably be related to Emma's films, as we've noticed there are a few images and screen captures missing.

Prenatal vitamins
During my wife first pregnancy, her close friend Mary recommended her prenate dha . We needed to learn from those who have experience this before. Prenate dha is the best prenatal vitamin because it contains rich DHA. The Folic Acid is very important for the child fetal brain and retina development throughout my wife's pregnancy. I'm glad that we have these prenatal vitamins with us all this while. If you're pregnant, it is important to consume prenate dha.

Green Firm Impax Eyes Post-Merger Future
U.K. sustainable investment group Impax Asset Management is hoping to complete a merger with U.S. rival Pax World Management by the end of February 2018.
In this year's flurry of fund firm mergers, the proposal to combine the U.K.'s Impax Asset Management with U.S. peer Pax World Management, has been under the radar for many investors.
But, once complete, the newly combined business will be handling some £10.3 billion ($13.4 billion) in assets, all in dedicated sustainable investment mandates. On Wednesday, the U.K. business is to publish its results to the London Stock Exchange. Chief executive Ian Simm is hoping to give shareholders an update on the merger's progress, which he wants to close before the end of February 2018, Simm told Institutional Investor in an interview.
[II Deep Dive: The Slippery Business of Manager Mergers]
Simm founded Impax 20 years ago. Back then, it was a far cry from the company it is today and focused purely on investments in environmental technology, such as alternative energy and advanced transportation systems.
At the time of founding the business, there was no mass awareness of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. But times change and so do attitudes. Today, some of the largest investors in the world have ESG criteria embedded into their processes. Last month offered an example when Mark Machin, president and chief executive officer of the C$328 billion ($258 billion) Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, championed the merits of sustainable investing in an annual report. "Sustainable investing is the right approach for an organization that aims to deliver strong returns over decades," he said. "ESG factors can be significant drivers — or barriers — to the success of the enterprises in which we invest."
With such large investors now paying attention, mainstream fund firms have upped their games in this area and ramped up marketing on ESG-related matters to better appeal to their customers.
Despite this, Simm believes that Impax, as a niche player focused purely on sustainable investing, is perfectly placed to sweep up assets from the world's largest asset owners.
"We have already demonstrated we can win business from asset owners looking for more compelling ideals in global equities and private equity buckets," he told II. "The world is transitioning slowly to a more sustainable economy and our investment thesis is continuing to play out."
When the merger completes, the newly expanded Impax Asset Management will have about 70 people working in Europe and a further 60 based in North America. And, while Simm refuses to set any specific asset targets, he is considering new products. "We are going to be rolling out a strategy that we have been incubating for three years, called the global opportunities strategy, which is taking a broad view on sustainable development." The company also plans to increase resources focused on assessing climate change investment risk.
"If capital can be used to help industries that are good for solving environmental problems, that should be encouraged, but first and foremost, if you are not making good returns, you don't have a sustainable business."
Impax Asset Management is scheduled to report its annual results on Wednesday 29 November 2017 at 0700hrs GMT.

PVT. Sanford B. Duff, 57TH VIRGINIA Co. H.
Sgt. James Anderson, 57TH VIRGINIA Co. E
Franklin County, in southwestern Virginia, was and remains the most rural of Virginias counties. In 1860, its people, hardscrabble red clay farmers of Scotch-Irish descent thought little about government. Richmond was more than a week away, and Washington D.C City an almost foreign city. But even in isolated Franklin County, where plantations were absent and slaves at a modicum, there was no escape from the political storm that arrived with the 1860 election. Rumors had filtered west of the dire consequences to Virginia should the Lincoln Republicans prevail. Lincolns victory, in fact, had already triggered the rapid secession of the lower South. When the news arrived in Rocky Mount that Lincoln had demanded that the non-seceding states supply 75,000-armed volunteers to repress the rebellion, Franklin County, like most of its sister counties, reacted with shock and horror. Virginia, the largest of the southern states, opted to resist any invasion of sister states and joined the southern Confederacy.
Franklin County men quickly responded to Virginias call for volunteers. The ante-bellum mens social club whose primary qualification for membership was expert marksmanship, enlisted en masse to repel the planned Northern invasion. These men would become the nucleus of a Company within Maj. Elisha Keens Battalion of 3 full Companies. Described as the most natty company of the Newly formed Keens Battalion, embarked for Richmond in June, 1861 completely outfitted by patriotic neighbors with new gray shell jackets with distinctive black piping on the cuffs and collar, drab slouch hats, shirts, trousers, blankets, knapsacks and canteens. The volunteers marched to the railroad at Big Lick Depot, (modern Roanoke), where they boarded the cars for Richmond.
Soon after arriving in Richmond in September 1861; Maj. Keen was asked to resign and a full 10 Company Compliment was herded together to form the now Official designation of The 57
Virginia Infantry. The boys of Franklin County were designated Company B and in the tradition of the Armies of those times, picked the sobriquet name of their Company to be The Franklin County Sharpshooters. Their new Commanding Officer; Colonel Lewis Addison Armistead, a seasoned and respected officer who had resigned his U.S. commission upon the secession of Virginia.
Soon after the 57
Virginia had completed training, the Union launched the largest amphibious assault in history by landing 120,000 Federals on the Virginia Peninsula and moving them towards the Confederate capital of Richmond. As the Federals approached the Capital, the Confederates began the fierce fighting known as the Seven Days Battles. After an initial victory at Mechanicsville on June 26
, the Federals took a severe beating at Gaines Mill. As the Federals continued to retreat towards their ships, the Army of Northern Virginia attempted to block their escape. At Fraysers & Nelsons Farms, the 57
Virginia, now part of Hugers Division, closed with the Federals along the Charles River Road. After fierce fighting, the Federals escaped and withdrew to the south. Three days later, the Army of Northern Virginia attacked the Federals who had dug in powerful artillery emplacements along the top of the long slope known as Malvern Hill. In the face of canister and shot, the Army of Northern Virginia, taking enormous casualties, launched attack after attack. The 57
Virginia, however, by chance, advanced across a depression that dropped the Confederate line below the artillery line of fire. Consequently, its losses were far lower than the regiments on its flanks. By nightfall, even though the Confederate assaults had failed, the dispirited Yankees moved south and withdrew from the Peninsula. The 57
now had their Baptism Of Fire!
In August 1862, the Army of Northern Virginia, rested and reinforced, moved towards the old Manassas battlefield. On August 28th and 29
, Union General Pope founds himself struggling with Jacksons Corps, which had positioned itself up against an unfinished railroad grade. Unobserved by Pope, the 57
Virginia and the rest of Longstreets Corps came through Thoroughfare Gap and took positions on Jacksons right flank. Pope, ignorant of the substantial reinforcement of the Confederate line, directed Fitz John Porters Corps to conduct a frontal assault. After massed Confederate artillery smashed the Porters attack, Longstreets Corps, sending 28,000 men in the largest mass assault of the war, crushed the Union left flank and drove the Federals from the field. The 57
Virginia performed well in this decisive Confederate victory.
No sooner had the Federals moved away that Lee launched the Army of Northern Virginia on his first invasion of the north. On September 15, 1862, after undergoing an artillery bombardment, the Federal garrison in Harpers Ferry surrendered. Colonel Armistead and the 57
Virginia; performing Provost Marshall Duty for Longstreets Corps, secured the town while most of the Army moved towards Sharpsburg. After stripping the surrendered Union garrison force of their uniforms, The 57
in rear tow as Provost, came up with AP Hills Light Division to save the day for General Lee!
After recrossing the Potomac, the 57
went into camp at Martinsburg, Va., a town soon labeled by the troops as the Massachusetts of VA due to the openly Yankee sympathies of many of the locals. In October 1862, the 57
Virginia marched through the Shenandoah to Culpeper Courthouse where it received orders to proceed to Fredericksburg. The 57
was now part of Major-General Picketts Division. Col. Armistead, promoted to Brigadier, received his own Brigade, which included; by his own hand, his beloved old command, the 57
Arriving at Fredericksburg, the 57
dug breastworks on the right side of General Lees line, not far from his Command Post, and awaited the arrival of the Army of the Potomac. The opening of the battle on December 13, 1862 saw the 57
on picket duty with a commanding view of the repetitive and disastrous Federal assaults on the impregnable positions of the Army of Northern Virginia. With the withdrawal of the defeated Union forces, the 57
left Fredericksburg on December 29, 1862 and marched to Guineas Station for its winter encampment.
On January 12, 1863, 21-year-old Col. John Bowie Magruder took command of the 57
On February 17, 1863, General Lee, fearing a new Yankee attack on Richmond, sent Picketts Division through snow and freezing weather to Falling Creek on the south side of the James River. Lees concerns had led him to dispatch Longstreet to the Tidewater to garner needed supplies from an ill-conceived idea that there was a pitiful Union Force down in Suffolk County. When no Yankees appeared, many of the Confederates became foragers, filling their wagons with foodstuffs for Lees army. The 57
pushed into the Dismal Swamp around Suffolk, encountering a strong Union line that barred a frontal attack against Suffolk. Unable to find a flanking route allowing easier access to Suffolk, Longstreet opted to press the attack from the James River. Meanwhile, the 57
as part of a Battalion led by Col. Marauder, dug in along the White Marsh Road and repelled several attacks by Corcorans Irish Legion; led by the cause-celibre and newly released Prisoner -Of- War Col. Michael Corcoran between April 21
and 27
. General Pickett himself issued a flattering commendation to General Armistead about young Magruder! Col. Magruder lost no men in this action and 13 who were forced to flee into the swamp, all returned back to The 57
to a man!
The Suffolk Campaign benefited the South by providing substantial foodstuffs for the rest of the Army of Northern Virginia. While Picketts Division still remained detached, Lees army scored a smashing victory against the Federals in May 1863 at Chancellorsville. Meanwhile, the 57
was moving northward to New Market, where it rested until June 1863 when orders came for Lees second invasion of the North.
On June 25th, the 57
crossed from Maryland into Greencastle, Pa. From there, the 57
moved to Chambersburg to begin destruction of the tracks of the Chambersburg Rail Road. On July 2, 1863, Picketts Division began a night march towards Gettysburg, where the great battle between Lee and Meade had been raging since July 1
. By the afternoon, when the 57
found the road choked with wounded and wagons moving away from the fighting, the regiment left the road and began to move through the woods towards the fighting. At 2:00 p.m., the 57
th, in
good spirits and eager to join in the fight, received orders to rest at Salem. At 3:00 a.m. in what the men described as a Broad Moon, the orders came to rise and prepare to move again forward towards Gettysburg. After each man had drawn twenty extra cartridges, the regiment, as rear guard, began its march to Picketts Charge and its appointment with destiny.
When Picketts Division reached Seminary Ridge, it turned to the left and took up positions towards the right end of the Confederate line. By 8:00 a.m., the 57
was in its position in Pitzers Woods, and remained in the shelter of the trees throughout the two-hour artillery duel in the early afternoon. At 3:00 p.m., General Pickett rode down the line, alerting the Division to be prepared to advance. Shouting his famous line of Up Men, to your posts! And remember, that today you are from Old Virginia. could unfortunately not be heard by the 57
as General Pickett was in front of Kempers Brigade at that time . The 57
would have received their orders by Gen. Picketts brother; Charles, his AAG. The 57
went into formation on the edge of the woods and prepared to advance with the Division. As they stood awaiting the order to move out, the men could hear a band to their far right playing Dixie. General Armistead called out his usual soliloquy before a battle: Remember men, what you fight for. Remember your homes and firesides, your mothers, your wives, sisters and sweethearts. General Pickett then gave the order for Division Forward, and the 57
, at the left-center of Armisteads Brigade, stepped out into sunlight and began to march across open ground towards the waiting Federals three-quarter miles away.
Except for one halt to re-dress the line and pivot forty-five degrees to the left, Picketts Division never ceased its advance towards the enemy. Despite the storm of solid shot and canister that tore great gaps in the line, Armisteads Brigade crossed the stone wall that marked the Yankee line and engaged the Federals hand to hand. Federal reinforcements came forward continually while no support reached Picketts exhausted troops. With no option but surrender or death, the 57
Virginia and its sister regiments began to retreat to Seminary Ridge. Hundreds lay dead or wounded beyond the stone wall, including Brigadier General Armistead. The 57
had met its destiny! Waiting for his men as they made their way back, Lee himself rallied the remnants to meet a countercharge that was never to come. Urging General Pickett To Look To His Division General Picketts only answer was General Lee, I Have No Division!
The 57
Company B had entered the battle with 271 men. The following day, July 4
, only 120 men answered the roll. Lees Army, grievously damaged in the three-day fight, began its long trek through the rain back to Virginia. Picketts Division received the unenviable assignment of escorting 3,000 Federal prisoners into Confederate captivity at Staunton Va.
General George Pickett
General L. Amristead
Pvt. William Jefferson Bourne
Company H, 57th Virginia
By September, the 57
with the remainder of Picketts Division was camped four miles from Petersburg. On September 23
, General Pickett received appointment as commander of the Department of North Carolina, taking over for General DH Hill. In February 1864, Lee ordered General Pickett to attack New Bern, NC. Due to poor coordination, the attack failed. Thereafter, the 57
marched to Richmond and performed various duties. When General Benjamin Butler began to press towards the capital, the 57
marched to Chester Station and helped drive Butler back to defeat at Drewrys Bluff and abandonment of the Bermuda Hundred Campaign. Ironically, General Pickett is remembered for the failed charge at Gettysburg and not for his success in saving Richmond by defeating Butler at Bermuda Hundred.
On May 16, 1864, the 57
received orders to march towards Spotsylvania Courthouse where the bulk of Lees Army was in mortal combat with the Army of the Potomac. By the time the 57
arrived, the Wilderness Battle had ended. The 57
then withdrew with the Army of Northern Virginia and dug in around Petersburg. After a ten month siege, Lee abandoned Petersburg and withdrew to the west. With the gates of Richmond open, the Federals took the capital.
Colonel Clement R. Fontaine (Last Commander of the 57
VA Infantry)
For Devotion to a just and righteous cause, no regiment .. is more deserving of commendation than the 57
VA. No set of men.. underwent more hardships, or endured more for their country. The history of the Brigade will show that besides regular battles participated in, that it performed more detached service than any of its sister regiments Whether on the march, in bivouac, on the battlefield or camp, it was ever up to its duty and accomplished all that was ever expected of it.
Then began the pursuit, with Lees men moving further and further west. General Pickett given a separate Command along with Gen. Lees nephew Rooney advanced 50 miles south to Dinwiddie Court House and surprised Union General Phil Sheridan and beat him to a fine repulse! Having their supply line stretched too far, Picketts Division headed back to Five Forks just below The much needed Southside Rail Road. At Five Forks, Sheridan & The Union 5
Corps in 3-1 odds, enveloped Picketts men in a disastrous defeat for the Confederates. Much of the 57
avoided capture by moving off to the right. The 57
found waiting cars and took the train to Exeter Mills where what was left of the Division was waiting. Lees army was desperate. The men had not drawn rations for two days. Lee moved toward Saylers Creek where the Federals again almost overwhelmed his forces. Again, the 57
and most of Picketts men avoided capture and rejoined Lee at Farmville. By April 8, the 57
was only two miles from Appomattox Courthouse. When Lee learned that Sheridan had taken a supply train only five miles from his Army, Lee was left with small choice. He sent a courier to General Grant under flag of truce. It was April 8, 1865. At The Surrender on April 9
, The 57
Va. Infy was reduced to only 8 Pardoned Men!

How To Choose The Best Demolition Hammer for Tile Removal
Demolition hammers help to destroy concrete and other structures. They brought to an end the era of those days ' sledgehammers and chisels. The sledgehammer and chisel can still be used for smaller and more specific operations today. Compared to the sledgehammer, the demo power tool addresses bigger and more complex tasks.
Not only do they handle heavy-duty jobs, but they also do them accurately and in less time. In the construction industry, this power tool is an essential tool. They differ from each other, hence the need to choose the right one. If the right demo hammer is selected, your choice must depend on specific factors.
These factors include your need, complexity, or nature of the task and your budget most importantly. Now the following guide will guide you in making your decision:
Price vs. Specification
The specification stays the best starting point when purchasing any power tool. The spec informs you about the device's strength, flexibility, and other characteristics. The tool's cost has to match the specification. If the quantity does not match the specification, do not purchase.
Check the hammer's impact per minute and the blow per minute to see if they match the cost. After that, examine other products to verify the adequacy of their expenses with the same IPM and BPM.
Technological characteristics
Technology plays a crucial role in your purchasing choice because it is not an easy instrument that you are purchasing. The instrument comes with some distinctive characteristics that make it more helpful and secure, which you should consider. Some demo hammers, for instance, come with an anti-shock protection scheme that dampens the tool's vibration or noise impact.
Other characteristics decrease silica manufacturing, a hazardous substance prevalent on building sites. All of these characteristics make the demo hammer for you and your operators safer and more effective. Because of using the tool, you wouldn't want your operator or yourself to get sick or tired.
Safety Features
When you use a demolition hammer, you have to think about safety above all else. Therefore, make sure that it comes with appropriate safety characteristics when you buy one. Check to see if overload protection, smooth start-up, and other safety gadgets come with the hammer. These characteristics ensure the user's safety while running the power tool.
When purchasing a demolition hammer, the cliché size matters are right. Some individuals think demolition hammer is an enormous power tool in size, which is not to some extent. While some demo hammers are proud of their size, others are proud of their size. Scandalously, some demo hammers of small size come with extreme strength!
The bigger the hammer, the more destructive it wields, logically. These exist in a variety of weights and sizes; however, not always the best is the largest of hammers. For someone needing the minimum of force, a large one might be ineffective. Therefore, your decision needs to be narrowed depending on your preference.
In addition, heavy demo hammers operate well for heavy-duty employment as their weight pair with gravity improves their effectiveness. You can consider the small ones that you can use for extended periods to perform fairly well. You should get a hammer from the above that you can easily carry but performs optimally.
Power can be a statistical inaccurate when it comes to hammers of demolition. The fact that some companies give their energy scores in amps is part of what makes it difficult, while others offer it in Watts. And that's just for hammers of electrical demolition. For two reasons, it is essential not to get stuck in thinking about authority.
The first is that distinct models apply distinct methods of applying electrical power to mechanical movement. Consequently, they differ in effectiveness, so a model with less power in theory but a greater efficiency might function better than a low-efficiency but greater energy model.
The second reason is that to remove tile, you likely buy a demolition hammer. Hammers for demolition are also used to destroy dense walls and pools of concrete. Tile doesn't need almost as much energy to remove, so if you get a very strong model, you can only use it at its smallest energy environments. That means you don't make full use of the tool, which in turn means you don't get great value.
Chisel, Bits, and Accessories
Demo hammers use SDS shank bit, which makes it possible to modify a bit quickly. No need to tighten just slide the chuck in the bit, and it automatically locks. Manufacturing bigwigs have come to remain the SDS technology and commonly adopted it.
Now brands such as Bosch, Makita and so on production with SDS shank a variety of demolition hammers. The bits stay an essential component of purchasing a demo hammer. You should understand that bits make demo hammers versatile and that most normal parts can be handled by many hammers.
Not all hammers are able to manage specific parts, shockingly. Before you click order on your scheme, you must hold this data in the back of your mind.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a demolition hammer?
A demolition hammer is a tool that is suitable for breaking up hard materials such as asphalt or concrete. A demolition hammer is often referred to as a chisel hammer or stun hammer. A further place of work is construction sites where small streets are opened.
The demolition hammer is operated either with electricity or with compressed air. The device itself has one tool holder, where hex tools are used. This device can be used either flat chisel or a chisel.
What types of demolition hammer do you need?
There are several variants. The devices are available from a weight of 12 to 15 kg and can be used for a variety of demolition work. The demolition hammer can also be used for horizontal work.
First, a distinction is made between the type of drive, which can be electricity or compressed air. In addition, there are different systems that we will take a closer look at.
Hydraulic hammer: The hydraulic hammer is always used when the ground is very hard. Concrete or hard rock is crushed with the hydraulic hammer in a short time . Especially in quarries are hydraulic hammers, which can make the demolition work quickly and easily.
There are for the handyman smaller models, which the demolition of foundations, buildings or masonry suitable. Homeowners can, for example, work the concrete path in the garden with a hydraulic hammer that can be quickly picked up by the device.
It makes sense to attach the hydraulic hammer to another carrier device. In the quarry, you can see more and more that the demolition hammer was attached to an excavator to ensure easy transport and efficient work.
Rotary Hammer: Another form of demolition hammer is the hammer drill. It is for drilling of holes used which in concrete or stone must be introduced. For the insertion of explosive devices, which is to destroy a building is usually with a hammer drill the hole drilled into which the later explosive device can be inserted.
The beating mechanism wears down the material to be processed. As a rule, the rotary hammer also has a rotating movement, with the executed strokes more precise to use are brought.
Demolition hammer with compressed air: A demolition hammer operated with compressed air has much more power than a demolition hammer that works with electricity. He finds his field of application for breaking, tearing or chiseling of building structures, which consist of hard rock or concrete.
Even asphalt pavements or rocks can be worked with the demolition hammer. A compressed air breaker is also often called a force from the air jackhammer. He gets which is generated by a compressor, which must be connected separately to the device.
The compressed air ensures the drive. The force is indicated as joule in these devices. The advantage is that these models have a simple design and also a lower dead weight, whereby he works for different jobs.
Electric Demolition hammer: A demolition hammer, which is thus electrically operated with electricity, can wear down and break up the material to be processed by means of rotating and beating motions. The high weight also exerts strong pressure on the material, which makes it easier to break through the material.
Its design is smaller, so this model is usually very popular with home improvement. Even small wall breakthroughs or removal can be mastered.
Final Verdict
While on the above list of the best demolition hammer for tile removal, there are not many products to review, the one that comes out at the top is likely evident. It is the XtremepowerUS Heavy Duty Electric 2200 Watt Demolition Jack Hammer, selected for its lightweight design and quick punching velocity. But don't forget about the others that are also on the list, which could be just as useful to the work you've lined up for yourself.
All three showed excellent choices for power and speed/adjustment, and they stay comparatively simple to manage. In brief, whatever hammer you end up with, you're sure to have a nice tool to get you ready in no moment to install a fresh floor.

The giant comets, termed centaurs, move on unstable orbits crossing the paths of the massive outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The planetary gravitational fields can occasionally deflect these objects in towards the Earth.
Centaurs are typically 50 to 100 kilometers across, or larger, and a single such body contains more mass than the entire population of Earth-crossing asteroids found to date. Calculations of the rate at which centaurs enter the inner solar system indicate that one will be deflected onto a path crossing the Earth's orbit about once every 40,000 to 100,000 years. Whilst in near-Earth space they are expected to disintegrate into dust and larger fragments, flooding the inner solar system with cometary debris and making impacts on our planet inevitable.
Known severe upsets of the terrestrial environment and interruptions in the progress of ancient civilizations, together with our growing knowledge of interplanetary matter in near-Earth space, indicate the arrival of a centaur around 30,000 years ago. This giant comet would have strewn the inner planetary system with debris ranging in size from dust all the way up to lumps several kilometers across.
A decade ago, Stephen Hawking observed that one of the major factors in the possible scarcity of intelligent life in our galaxy is the high probability of an asteroid or comet colliding with inhabited planets. This week, a team of astronomers from Armagh Observatory and the University of Buckingham reported that the discovery of hundreds of giant comets in the outer planetary system over the last two decades means that these objects pose a much greater hazard to life than asteroids.
The team, made up of Professors Bill Napier and Duncan Steel of the University of Buckingham, Professor Mark Bailey of Armagh Observatory, and Dr David Asher, also at Armagh, publish their review of recent research in the December issue of Astronomy & Geophysics (AandG), the journal of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Because they are so distant from the Earth, Centaurs appear as pinpricks of light in even the largest telescopes. Saturn's 200-km moon Phoebe, seems likely to be a Centaur that was captured by that planet's gravity at some time in the past.

Disabled girl handcuffed by Sussex Police, IPCC finds
- Published
An 11-year-old girl with a neurological disability was handcuffed and restrained with a mesh hood and leg straps while being held in custody, the police watchdog found.
Her mother described it as "degrading and barbaric" treatment.
The child was arrested by Sussex Police for minor offences and held for 60 hours without an appropriate adult.
The watchdog said a number of officers and staff had a case to answer for misconduct.
Officers were found to have used a mesh anti-spit hood [bag with a mesh placed over the head] on the child.
Her mother, known as Ms H,told 5live Breakfast: "The use of spit-hoods shouldn't be used on children - end of story, and sadly not on disabled children who aren't in control of their actions.
"It's degrading, it's actually barbaric and when I saw her with one on it was horrific.
"I will never ever get the image out of my mind. There's just absolutely no excuse for spit-hooding children."
She said the use of spit-hoods on children should be banned.
'Absolutely petrified'
"I can't accept that it will ever be appropriate for the police to hood a disabled child, regardless of how they behave," she said.
In a report, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said the girl, named Child H, was arrested three times and detained under the Mental Health Act once between 2 February and 2 March 2012.
Her disability had not been diagnosed at the time of the police contact, but her mother had told officers she believed she had an autism spectrum disorder.
Despite this, the IPCC found she was twice held overnight in police cells, without a parent, guardian or social worker present to support her.
Her mother said her daughter's contact with the police "was nothing short of a nightmare for both of us".
Misconduct findings
- A custody sergeant and an inspector, who failed to ensure an appropriate adult was present, have since retired
- The force took "management action" against six custody sergeants found to have failed to ensure an appropriate adult was present
- Another custody sergeant found to have failed to ensure Child H was dealt with quickly was disciplined, along with two police constables who restrained the girl in handcuffs
- No further action was taken against a former front desk enquiry officer, a call handler and a police constable
"At the time her disability meant that she could behave in very challenging ways, but what she needed was patience, respect and the support of her mother," she said.
"Instead she was locked up in a police station without me or anyone else who knew her for support.
"I cannot understand why others thought it was appropriate to put an 11-year-old girl in handcuffs and leg restraints."
Ms H said the actions of the officers left her daughter "emotionally traumatised".
"She was absolutely petrified, terrified beyond belief," she said.
"It sent her into a state of emotional trauma that lasted many, many, many months."
IPCC recommendations
The watchdog made a number of recommendations after its investigation, including:
• Improved training on the use of force on children and adults with mental illness, to ensure the use of force is avoided wherever possible
• Additional training on detaining vulnerable people and the role of an appropriate adult
• Ensuring officers are accountable for their use of force
On a number of occasions, officers did not record any rationale for their use of force on the youngster, who has "a neurological disability which can cause challenging behaviour", inspectors said.
IPCC Commissioner Jennifer Izekor said: "This was a complex investigation, which found Sussex Police officers failed to respond effectively to the needs of a vulnerable child.
"While it is clear Child H had significant behavioural problems arising from her disability, Sussex Police and, indeed other agencies which were - or should have been - involved, did not appear to have the skills and capacity to respond to her effectively.
"The situation was exacerbated by the lack of understanding of Child H's complex needs."
Ms Izekor added she was pleased the force had engaged with Child H's family to improve any future dealings with her after the IPCC launched its investigation.
BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw
This is a highly emotive case which comes just three months after the IPCC warned that people with mental health problems were more likely to die after officers used force against them than those who aren't mentally ill.
In a major report, published in March, the watchdog described the way police used restraint equipment as "troubling".
One item that some constabularies use is a spit hood or spit guard. One was placed over the head of the 11-year-old girl from Sussex.
Although the girl's mother, understandably, and others, would like to see them banned, remember also what it's like to be a police officer on the receiving end of a mouthful of phlegm and spit, with the health risks that can bring.
Some officers regard spitting - which the Police Federation claims occur in 28% of assaults against officers - as worse than being punched in the face.
Sussex Police said it would respond to any "new learning" identified.
The force's temporary Deputy Chief Constable Robin Smith said: "As a chief officer I have a duty to protect officers and the public when we are called on for help, whether the threat comes from a child or someone who is unwell.
"This is very often the case and it was on several occasions that the girl's mother called for our help.
"The application of any type of restraint is considered only when the level of resistance causes concern for the safety of the detained person, the officer and other members of the public."

Shortly after being sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, on one of his first official acts President Barack Obama signed an executive order directing that the U.S. detention facility located in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba be closed. This had been a rallying cry for the extreme left, the news media, Hollywood and the Democratic Party for years during the Bush Administration. President Obama vowed to fulfill his pledge to these groups during his campaign.
GITMO, as Guantanamo Bay is called, was selected by the military under President Bush as the best place to hold terrorists captured on the battlefields in the War on Terror. As our troops rapidly moved across Afghanistan during the early weeks and months of the war, terrorists were being killed and captured at an astounding rate. The Bush Administration had to play catch-up rapidly and devise a secure environment where these terrorist captives could be held until they were interrogated and their final disposition determined.
After some minor initial cultural missteps GITMO became an efficient, humane, and secure detention facility established to hold the worst of the worst of America's enemies. GITMO was operated by military professionals who went to the extremes to protect the civil rights of the terrorists being held.
Terrorists who, by the way, were studied and taught in how to use our freedoms, our courts and judicial system, as well as a naive group of leftists and Bush-haters to disrupt the detention operations, and try to create political havoc for the Bush Administration and America. They learned their lessons very well.
Using the ACLU and leftist lawyers as their mouthpiece they claimed abuses that never occurred, disrespect towards their religion that didn't happen, and anything else they could think of that might further disrupt and cause problems for the U.S. They continued their Jihad inside the fences of GITMO.
Unfortunately a determined left and their willing allies in the Democratic Party looked upon GITMO not as a necessary evil in this war against the most evil of people, but as a political opportunity to discredit the Bush Administration. Simple political expediency was chosen over what was best for the country.
Something the Democratic Party has done over and over throughout recent history. Add GITMO to the abuses committed by a very few at Abu Graib in Iraq, and the Democrats and their allies had plenty of ammunition to use to further attack and discredit the sitting president.
The Democratic Party and their accomplices helped serve as a recruiting tool for the international Jihad movement. While our troops were fighting and dying in the field, and the Bush Administration was struggling mightily against a difficult enemy, why didn't the Democratic Party do the patriotic thing and step forward to offer their support ? Because the Democratic Party looked upon the challenges we faced against a determined enemy as something they could derive political advantage from.
GITMO, "the concentration camp where the U.S. soldiers guarding the poor, innocent prisoners were committing all kinds of atrocities in the name of the Bush Administration", was a pure fantasy ! An invention of the Democratic Party and the Anti-War, Anti-Bush crowd.
Now our president and his soul-mate Attorney General Holder have decided to move forward with closing GITMO against the advice of nearly everyone. And for one reason and one reason only. Political gain. And America will suffer as a result.
When the next attack against our country comes as it surely will, the Democrats and the Obama Administration will do as they have done since he took office. Place the blame on his predecessor.
What won't be mentioned is fact that Obama and the Democrats have weakened our country to the point of not only making us an easier target for our enemies. But also giving Obama and the Democrats an excuse for trying to further restrict our rights as Americans.

If you love lighthouses and would like to explore those around Massachusetts Bay, the site Boston Harbor Beacon has a guide for you.
A recent post, titled Lighthouses Along Massachusetts Bay, takes you on a tour that begins with, "The twin lights of Thacher Island sit about a mile off the Coast of Gloucester," and ends with, "Long Point: The end of the Cape!"
In all, 20 lighthouse views are covered in this piece. Photos and bits of information about each light are included. And, since this is a boating blog, the photos are often taken from the water which offers those of us who don't have regular access to a boat a new view of even a familar lighthouse.
