The Messed Up History Of The Kent State Massacre
Howard Ruffner/Getty Images
By Natasha Lavender/Sept. 21, 2020 11:11 am EST
In the 1960s and '70s, US colleges became hotspots for demonstrations as young people joined social justice campaigns like the civil rights movement, the Black Panther Party, and the movement against the Vietnam War. Many of these demonstrations were met with violence by police, National Guard, and other government actors. Some went under the radar: In 1968, highway patrolmen shot 31 South Carolina State students protesting segregation, killing three, in what became known as the Orangeburg massacre.
But what happened at Kent State on May 4, 1970, during a demonstration against the Vietnam War became the most infamous incident of government forces using fatal violence against protesters. Partly, that was because the Kent State massacre — as it became known as — was documented in footage that spread around the world: one photo won a Pulitzer Prize. And partly it was because the victims were white, which made the press and public take more notice.
The shootings ignited an already blazing anti-war protest movement and infuriated conservatives. This is the messed up history of the Kent State massacre, including the build-up, the event itself, and its legacy today.
Richard Nixon's invasion of Cambodia sparked protests nationwide
Argenta/Wikimedia Commons
President Nixon was not known for his strong grasp on the truth (see also: the Watergate scandal.) During his 1968 campaign, he'd promised that he had a "secret plan" to end the war in Vietnam. But on April 30, 1970, Nixon outraged the public by announcing that he'd secretly authorized a US invasion of Cambodia — a neutral country — two days earlier.
Nixon had not only sidestepped Congress, Politico reported that he hadn't even told his Secretary of State and Defense Secretary. The previous year, in March 1969, Nixon had secretly ordered bombings in Cambodia, something Congress and the public didn't learn about until the New York Times published the news that May.
The invasion of Cambodia (which Nixon described as an "incursion") inflamed already strong anti-war sentiment, especially on college campuses. Students at colleges around the country went on strike and held demonstrations. Various states called on the National Guard: for example, in New Haven, the New York Times reported that 3,000 National Guardsmen were brought in over the weekend of May 1 to monitor the 15,000 Yale students and other demonstrators. Many faculty members joined protests too.
In addition to criticizing Nixon, protesters called for their colleges to openly oppose the war and to end connections to the Defense Department and Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) programs, which serve as a track into the military.
Anti-Vietnam War protests started ramping up in 1965

The wave of anti-war fervor that spread across the US in May 1970 didn't happen overnight. Initially, the movement against the war in Vietnam was run by fringe leftist groups on college campuses, especially the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).
The US had been involved in the Vietnam conflict since the 1950s, but in 1965, President Lyndon Johnson ordered a sustained three-year bombing campaign against North Vietnam and sent in ground troops. According to the New York Times, the increased demand for manpower saw draft calls for Selective Service triple that year. The involuntary nature of the draft (which was replaced by a highly unpopular lottery system in 1969), the high casualty rate, and reports of messed up things from the Vietnam War led to increased bitterness among the public. By November 1967, 15,058 American soldiers had been killed and 109,527 wounded. The war was also costing taxpayers $25 billion a year.
More people started to join the anti-war movement. On October 21, 1967, 100,000 protesters demonstrated at the Lincoln Memorial. At the 1968 Democratic National Convention, 10,000 protesters took over Chicago's Grant Park in support of anti-war candidate Eugene McCarthy. In November 1969, 500,000 demonstrators marched on Washington to demand peace, backed up by other protests around the world.
Nixon's administration painted the young protesters as lazy hippies. Vice President Spiro Agnew labeled them, "over-privileged, under-disciplined irresponsible children," while Nixon infamously called them, "Bums blowing up the college campuses."
The start of the Kent State protests
JonRidinger/Wikimedia Commons
Kent State is a state-supported school that had around 20,000 students in 1970. There had been other protests on the campus. The Report of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest (published in the wake of the massacre) said that the SDS had tried to get the school's administration to ban the ROTC from campus in 1969 in a protest that led to clashes between police, demonstrators, and counterdemonstrators.
According to the report, the Kent State protests against Nixon's invasion of Cambodia started on Friday, May 1, with a peaceful rally of around 500 students. But that night, a rowdy crowd of 500 gathered in a downtown area popular with students. People started a bonfire, broke windows, and harassed bystanders and police. Mayor LeRoy Satrom closed the bars and police used teargas to dispel the crowd.
On Saturday, Satrom officially declared a state of civil emergency and requested the National Guard from Governor Jim Rhodes. That night, 1,000 people (mainly students) marched around campus to the ROTC building, which was set on fire. The National Guard arrived on campus shortly after and used teargas on the demonstrators. The next day, Rhodes visited Kent and held a press conference, where he blamed outsiders for infiltrating the campus. The New York Times reported that he described the protesters as, "worse than the Brown Shirts and the Communist element."
The National Guard had been mobilized regularly throughout the '60s
Scott Olson/Getty Images
The National Guard is a volunteer militia that serves both its individual state, district, or territory and the federal government. Unlike the active-duty army, which is for federal use, the National Guard can be mobilized by the federal government or the governor to help in emergencies such as hurricanes — and, yes, pandemics — and to quell unrest.
Activating the National Guard to keep peace is supposed to be a rare event. But in the decade leading up to 1970, multiple units of National Guard had been sent to handle outbreaks of violence. Most of these were related to the racist backlash against the civil rights movement. For example, in 1962, white crowds started a violent protest when Black Air Force veteran James Meredith attempted to enroll in the University of Mississippi. President John F. Kennedy placed the Mississippi National Guard on active federal service and ordered them to restore peace. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and Johnson both federalized at least one National Guard during their times in office.
The student protests that erupted in May 1970 weren't even the first time various National Guard units had been activated that year. As the Washington Post reported, in March, faced with a postal strike that was hobbling the country, Nixon had ordered the National Guard to deliver the mail. When Mayor Satrom called the Ohio National Guard to Kent, they were already deployed in truckers' strikes around the state.
How the Kent State protests escalated
By Monday, May 4, 1970, tensions had reached fever pitch at Kent State. Many students had gone away for the weekend, only to return on Sunday night to find their campus occupied by National Guard soldiers who were tear-gassing their peers. This angered even those students who hadn't been moved to protest by Nixon's invasion of Cambodia.
By this point, peaceful demonstrations had been banned by the mayor, but there was a rally planned for noon on Blanket Hill, a grassy knoll at the center of the campus. According to the Report of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest, it drew about 2,000 students, including people protesting the National Guard as well as the war, and others who were either watching or on their way somewhere else.
The students started chanting for a strike and some threw stones at the troops, who were wearing helmets and gas masks. The National Guard tear-gassed the students in an unsuccessful attempt to drive them off the hill. As the New York Times reports, the soldiers appeared to then retreat into a huddle, which some students took as a sign that they were planning to retreat. Others recall seeing them starting to walk to the top of the hill, away from the students. But instead, at the crest of the hill, the National Guard formed a line and started firing into the crowd.
Four students were killed in the Kent State shootings
According to the New York Times, the shooting lasted for 13 seconds. Many of the students didn't know that the National Guard was armed with live ammunition until they opened fire. The scene descended into chaos as people ran behind cars and dropped to the ground in an effort to escape the bullets. They watched in horror as their friends were hit.
Ellis Berns and his friend Sandra "Sandy" Scheuer had been planning to leave when the shooting started. "It just seemed to last forever. We both hit the ground. I had my arm around her," Berns told IdeaStream in 2020. When it was over, he called out to Scheuer, but she didn't reply. And then he realized she'd been shot in the carotid artery: "there was a lot of blood."
Scheuer was one of four students who died that day. The other three were William Shroeder, Allison Krause, and Jeffrey Miller. Nine others were injured, including Dean Kahler, who was paralyzed from the waist down.
After the shooting subsided, an eerie silence settled on the scene. And then students started screaming, crying, and shouting. Angrier than ever, some threatened to fight the National Guard, who apparently made no move to help the victims. Another violent outburst looked imminent — until the faculty intervened. Through a bullhorn, Professor Glenn Frank begged the students to sit down so the Guard wouldn't fire again, and then to disperse. Slowly, they did.
The photographs of Kent State shook America
The Kent State shootings weren't the first time a student protest had been violently quashed. However, student photographers made sure that this time it was thoroughly documented. Their footage was even used in the Report of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest. John Filo was a student at Kent State who took his camera to document the protest. He thought he'd missed the bulk of the action, as he'd been away at the weekend, but left his photography lab around noon to see what was happening.
When the soldiers started firing, Filo didn't realize it was live ammunition — until he saw a bullet strip the bark off of a tree. After the shooting had stopped, he saw the body of Jeffrey Miller lying face down in the parking lot with blood pouring from his head. As he raised his camera, 14-year-old Mary Ann Vecchio ran over and knelt beside Miller. Filo captured her face as she screamed in horror. The shot won him a Pulitzer Prize and became one of the most iconic photos associated with the anti-war movement and bitter protests of the '70s.
Elsewhere on campus, another Kent State student photographer captured another famous shot. According to Time, Howard Ruffner was freelancing for LIFE magazine while at college. He took a picture of John Cleary, who'd been shot in the chest, which made the cover. Cleary survived: NBC News later reunited the photographer and his subject.
We still don't know why the National Guard opened fire on Kent State
The National Guard
How the Kent State protests escalated from rowdy but mainly peaceful demonstration to a massacre is still a mystery. The report on campus unrest said that some students and members of the National Guard reported hearing an order to fire, and one student said that he thought he saw an officer use his pistol to give the signal to shoot.
In 2007, Kent State survivor Alan Canfora, who was shot in the wrist, released an "enhanced" version of an audio recording of the shootings, made by student Terry Strubbe. Canfora claims that in this version, you can hear someone say, "Right here! Get set! Point! Fire!" followed by gunfire. However, most people remain skeptical: covering the story, the New York Times couldn't discern these words.
It's possible that the already jumpy National Guard heard a noise that one or more mistook for a gunshot, and took that as a sign to fire. One anonymous member of the Guard — who was also a Kent State student — told IdeaStream that he didn't hear an order to shoot, "but knowing that there was firing going on, I would have more than likely emptied my weapon." According to the report, some Guardsmen also claimed that they thought there was a sniper, but no evidence for this was found later.
There was backlash from the left and right
AgnosticPreachersKid
The Kent State shootings galvanized student protesters who had already mobilized in huge numbers over the invasion of Cambodia. Demonstrations were organized at colleges that had previously been seen as apolitical. According to the New Yorker, four out of five colleges and universities saw demonstrations, while others closed in order to avoid disruption.
On May 9, striking students marched on Washington to protest against the war and the National Guard's actions at Kent State. That day, the New York Times reported that some of the protests had led to more violent clashes with police and National Guard, who used tear gas and bayonets to break up demonstrations. Some colleges were firebombed, but fortunately, no one was hurt or killed.
While many students and anti-war protesters were infuriated by the actions of the National Guard at Kent State, most people in the general public actually blamed the protesters. One student and Vietnam veteran told Ideastream, "My father's only comment was they should've shot them all ... if you were there they should've [shot you]."
Many conservatives felt that the hippy counterculture had gone too far, and blue-collar workers were enraged by students who were protesting the war when their college education was getting them a deferment from the draft. On May 8 in New York, the day after the city hosted Jeffrey Miller's funeral, construction workers attacked anti-war demonstrators in what became known as the Hard Hat Riot.
The student shooting you don't know about
CharlieAli/Wikimedia Commons
Just ten days after Kent State, more students were shot by government agents. The two incidents were linked in the public mind at the time, but the second — which happened at Jackson State, Mississippi, a predominantly Black college — has largely been forgotten.
In the 1960s, tensions between the Black students and white residents of Jackson often broke out on a road that ran through the Jackson State campus. On May 13, 1970, a large crowd of students gathered on the street and the police moved to break it up. Several police vehicles were damaged. The next night, a crowd gathered again. Some people started fires and shouted at the police and highway patrolmen who had shut down the street and advanced on Alexander Hall, a women's dorm.
The report into campus unrest stated that after a couple of people threw bottles, the highway patrolmen and several police officers suddenly started firing rifles, carbines, and submachine guns into the crowd and the building. The shooting lasted 28 seconds: an FBI investigation found that Alexander Hall had been hit with 400 bullets.
High school student James Earl Green and 20-year-old recent father Phillip Gibbs were both killed, and 12 other people were injured. The report explicitly blamed police racism for the shootings, but according to a 2020 New York Times article, when victims and families sued the city and state, they lost the civil case. No one was ever charged.
None of the National Guardsmen were charged with murder for the Kent State shootings

The first legal action to come out of the Kent State massacre was not aimed at the National Guard who fired on the students, but at the students themselves. In October 1970, 24 students and one faculty member were indicted by a grand jury on various charges, most related to the burning of the ROTC building the night before the shootings. When they went to trial the following December, two pled guilty and the cases against the remaining 23 were dismissed or dropped.
It wasn't until March 1974 that eight of the National Guardsmen were indicted by a grand jury for violating the civil rights of the killed and injured students. And in November that year, the New York Times reported that Federal District Court Judge Frank J. Battisti had acquitted them all, claiming that the government had failed to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the Guard had planned to undermine the students' civil rights. The families and victims turned to civil action. In 1977 and 1979, they reached a settlement of $675,000, over half of which went to paralyzed Dean Kahler.
Kent State is still seen as a turning point in US history
JessicaRodriguezRivas
Many have pointed to the Kent State massacre as a pivotal moment in US history. According to the New York Times, the student protests led Nixon to call off the invasion of Cambodia on June 30, 1970. They also contributed to the ratification of the 26th Amendment in 1971, lowering the voting age from 21 to 18. This was partly because lawmakers felt that people who were old enough to be drafted should be old enough to vote, but also because they felt that young people had demonstrated political awareness.
Beyond that, the shootings were another event that symbolized the end of '60s optimism and the start of '70s disillusionment and rage. And the polarized reactions marked the early days of the intensifying political divide between America's right and left. On the one hand, violence perpetrated against the students at Kent and Jackson State and other colleges provoked many previously apolitical people to join social justice movements. But the perception of the students as violent criminals stoked conservative fears about the counterculture — and may have helped Richard Nixon, the man whose actions started it all, get reelected in 1972.

Top Female Wedding Photographers In Pakistan. In Pakistan, weddings are beyond extravagant. Calling Wedding Day as the"Big Day" here is kind of an understatement. And so for that, the preparations are equally magnanimous. Don't we all put our hearts and souls together in wishing that this magical day comes together as the perfect one of our lives?
Or maybe we are planning the marriage of a beloved sibling, friend or relative. From saving the date to shopping for beautifully embellished dresses, choosing the perfect venue and picking the best wedding planner, your efforts can, unfortunately, go in vain if you don't find the right eye behind the lens to capture your biggest day's memories. Yes! We are talking about you finding the perfect, most amazing photographer to cover your wedding. Photographs help you cherish the enjoyable and at times, the emotional instances and take you down the pleasing memory lane. Honestly, as sacred for the wedding is the tradition of having a heavy wedding album, it is entirely justified. I mean just imagine, not having any memories of those beautiful moments from your wedding is a little sad.
Photographers are the people who help you with collecting all those memories in an artistic manner. Trust me, having a good photographer to cover your wedding is extremely, I repeat EXTREMELY important. Especially, these days Pakistan has some ultra amazing female wedding photographers doing wonders in the field.
What Should You Be Looking For In A Wedding Photographer?
Make your bookings very timely, around 6 months prior to the event, as good photographers' calendars fill quick.
Visit Instagram and Facebook pages to get a better idea of the photographer's style.
Ask for packages to get your wedding covered for a better price.
Go through different photoshoots and profiles to have an understanding of what poses look best on desi brides and if you're not comfortable with any particular type of poses, let your photographer know that beforehand. For some cool ideas, have a look at these Pakistani Bride and Groom Photo Shoot Ideas & Pakistani Wedding Poses.
Why Choose A Female Photographer?
Female photographers in Pakistan are very fine and highly professional with their work. Having female photographers is actually very comfortable for the brides in particular. Not every lady is fine posing in front of men which is completely understandable. Female photographers provide the solution to that problem and one can have as many posey pictures taken as they like. Many Pakistani families also have segregated functions for the men and women in the family and in such functions, it is always good to have a female photographer who can cover the women's section.
To make your job a whole lot easier, here is a list of the Top 10 female wedding photographers in Pakistan.
Finesse, professionalism, and attention to detail are what we basically want to see in our wedding photographs. Wedding photography trends have changed so much and are still continuously evolving. Candid and daylight shots are a buzz in the photography world. Xyra's Photography offers you the wedding photographs of your dreams. Based in Islamabad, Xyra is simply impeccable at her job. From bridal shoots to casual events coverage, Xyra does it all and she does it all so well. Her wedding packages start at a price of 35,000 PKR.

Having Hira Iqbal cover your wedding can be an amazing experience. The woman is hardworking and passionate. Let's be honest, brides can sometimes turn into "Bride-zillas" because of those high expectations and the desire to just get everything done perfectly without even a tad bit going wrong. If anyone of you knows someone that can be this sort of a bride in Islamabad, quickly suggest her to get Hira Iqbal to take her wedding photographs. Being very considerate towards her clients' expectations, Hira performs her job in an utterly sweet manner without getting irritated. The best part is, her friendly nature helps her clients feel extremely comfortable. Starting at a price of 30,000 PKR, the attention to detail in her photographs is definitely something to vouch for as she successfully captures every minor but important instant very nicely. To make your big day even more spectacular, here are 20 Must-Have Accessories for Pakistani Brides.
This one is a powerhouse of photography run by a beyond amazing female photographer, Sophia Mustafa. This person is simply excellent at her job and clicks such fine and aesthetic photographs. If you wish to look at your wedding photographs and feel like they are pictures from a fairytale, have her do the job for you. The photographs are just so dreamy and elegant, you might not need to think twice before making up your mind in her favor. As any professional photographer should, Sophia makes one feel so comfortable in front of the lens and the "poser" trapped within the person suddenly finds all the confidence to get some remarkable shots taken. Highly talented, the photographer works with fine craftsmanship and a friendly demeanor.
Just so you know, Sophia was also the photographer who was hired by the previously Pakistani TV actress and model Ayesha Khan for her own wedding. So just imagine how great she must be at her work. We can all agree that Ayesha Khan's entire wedding was covered beautifully in the photographs. I mean every picture spoke for itself about the skill of the person behind the lens. Those of you who are clueless about it, check out the Instagram and Facebook pages of Sophia & Fatima Photography for the celebrity wedding pictures. You will surely fall in love with them!
Photographs with a hint of vintage tint have a class of their own. The subtle colors and romantic tones of such photographs that make you feel like a part of an old age era are an absolute beauty. The bride and groom looking like South Asian royalties, and the wedding, seemingly a high life classic affair; such are the photographs with exceptional elegance. If you wish your wedding photographs to be one of those and luckily you live in Lahore, then Palwasha Minhas is your go-to girl. The ethnic touch in Palwasha Minhas' photography is to die for. Her photographs are so ethereal, almost surreal. She can actually make your wedding dreams come true through her photography, her work is that exquisite. Her photographs are basically evergreen, never getting out of style and whenever you take a look at one of them it feels like you are living the moment all over again. The glory and supremacy of her photographs are bound to make you nostalgic. If you want your big day to be memorable which of course anyone would, then she is the one to go for.
The dynamic duo of two sisters, from Islamabad, Rammal and Nabia Mehmud is the perfect pick for couples who want a contemporary approach towards their wedding photographs. The sisters use the phrase "Visual Storytellers" to define themselves and they deserve to do so. They focus on being creative and bringing out the best potential in their clients' who are actually in front of the lens by making them feel very comfortable in their spots. Their photographs depict how enjoyable the Pakistani wedding festivities are and indulge all that is going around at a wedding in their films as well. The women are dedicated and vigorously strive to meet their clients' expectations. With a starting package of 25,000 PKR, from basic casual events coverage to extravagant and special descriptions, the sisters do it all.
Magnificent is the word to be used for this girl's work. Her work can basically leave one awe-struck every single time one sees a masterpiece of hers. The photographs and films basically sing for the immense amount of skill the photographer possesses. Each and every wedding that is covered by Fatima Tariq is a beauty in its own. The photographer has also been the Pakistani TV actress, model, and host, as well as Mahira Khan's official photographer. Her photographs are so charming and sublime, and honestly, there aren't enough words to define the excellence of her work. The photographs appear to be taken even of the most minute details. The elements of candidness and surprise are evident in each and every picture and that is the unique artistry offered by Fatima Tariq Photography.

P.S. If you are really eager to have Fatima Tariq cover your wedding personally, then make the bookings very timely even up to a year prior to the event. That because the photographer is currently a student in London and can only be on the field when she is here in Pakistan so getting her dates is not very easy. Be sure to do that on time. Otherwise, her team does a great job too and you can totally rely on them for your wedding photographs.
Lahore is basically a stunner when it comes to cities in Pakistan and so is everything else related to Lahore; the food, history, culture and of course the weddings.

In her case 'less is more' is the approach and it serves her just fine.

The blend of old-school and modern is found in the perfect amounts in her pictures. All of that at a very affordable price; her basic packages start at 10,000 PKR and one-day coverage cost is about 35,000 PKR. Pretty affordable, ain't it?
Making it to the top 3 of our list is Umbreen Ibrahim Photography from Lahore.

Lowest Prices for the best trailer bearings races seals caps from etrailer. Bearing Kit, LM67048/25580 Bearings, GS-2125DL Seal part number BK3-310 can be ordered online at etrailer.com or call 800-298-8924 for expert service.
Today were going to review part number BK3-310. This is the TruRyde trailer hub bearing kit. This kit will include one inner bearing, part number 25580, and its matching race which is part number 25520. It will also include the outer bearing, has a part number of LM67048, and the matching outer race which is part number LM67010. It will also include the cotter pin and it does include an easy lube spindle washer. And the final piece will be the grease seal which is part number 10-10.
This is a double whip seal. The size on this seal has an overall diameter of 3.376, has an inner diameter of 2.125. And that should do it for a review on part number BK3-310.
The bearings have held up well. I only use the trailer when I go boating so not many miles on it. Have not opened up the wheels since I installed so am only assuming they are still in good shape.
The two seals you mentioned have different inner diameters. The part # GS-2125DL has an inner diameter of 2.125 inches and the part number 22558 has same dimensions as # RG06-070 which has inner diameter of 2.25inch. Both have same outer diameter of 3.371 inch.
Lippert 5,200 lb axles use the grease seal part # GS-2125DL. For a kit that would include new bearings as well you'd want # BK3-310.
The bearing kit you are looking for is the part # BK3-310. This includes the bearings and seals you mentioned so it would be exactly what you need.
My guess is you have the incorrect bearing kit. Kit # BK3-300 with Seal 10-36 # RG06-070 and Kit # BK3-310 with Seal # GS-2125DL have the same bearing numbers but the seals have different inner diameters. Seal # GS-2125DL has an inner diameter of 2.125 inches and Seal 10-36 # RG06-070 has an inner diameter of 2.250 inches. A difference of exactly 1/8 of an inch. If this is the case the solution is to get # GS-2125DL seals.
Actually the bearing kit you will want is the Bearing kit part # BK3-300. This comes wit a seal that is the same dimensions as your CR 25558. The information I have is that the C/R 22558 seal has an inner diameter of 2.25 inches and an outer diameter of 3.371 inches. The Grease Seals 10-36, item # RG06-070, have a inner diameter of 2.25 inches and an outer diameter of 3.376 inches. The 10-36 is the seal that comes with the # BK3-300.
The bearing you referenced, part # LM67048, we show as an OUTER bearing for applications in hub # 8-201-5. We offer this bearing as part of a kit along with inner bearing # 25580 and seal # GS-2125DL; the part number for the complete kit is # BK3-310. This included GS-2125DL seal has an inner diameter of 2.125 inches; if you can measure your spindle with a digital caliper you can verify the fit. The linked photo will show you where to measure.
From the info you gave me you have a number 42 spindle but you would need to measure the inner diameter of the unmarked bearing to verify this. If it measures 1.75 inches that would verify that you do have the 42 spindle. Then for a bearing kit you would need the part # BK3-300.
The Dexter axle you have most likely needs the same seal as what comes with the part # BK3-300. The included seal has an inside diameter of 2.25 inches. Some times with your axle they used a smaller seal. This kit would be the part # BK3-310. The seal of this kit has an inner diameter of 2.125 inches. Easy way to tell is to measure the spindle where the bearings ride. If you have 2.25 you need the # BK3-300 or if you have 2.125 you need # BK3-310.
What Size Bearings are Kits Available For?
There are two possible bearing kits for your trailer's 5,200 lb axles. There's the more common part # BK3-310 and the less common part # BK3-300. The difference is the seal size. The part # BK3-300 has a seal with an inner diameter of 2.25 inch and the # BK3-310 has a seal with an inner diameter of 2.125 inch which is the more common size. I can't tell you beyond that which for sure would be correct.
Both the 8-201-5 and the 426-56 Hub and Drum Assemblies you mentioned would use a grease cap with a 2.44 outside diameter. The EZ Lube Grease Cap, part # RG04-080 would be the correct cap for both hub/drums. The 8-201-5 hub/drum would use the # BK3-310 bearing kit, and the 426-56 hub/drum would use the # BK3-100 bearing kit.
What you need is the part # BK3-300. The included seal with this kit has an inner diameter of 2.125 inches.
Kodiak disc brakes that have a 6 bolt pattern all use the same bearings and races. It is kit # BK3-100. The outer bearing is # 15123. The correct size grease cap for an EZ lube axle would be # RG04-080 which is a 2.44 inch diameter. The race will have the smallest of lips for you to catch a flat screwdriver or piece of pipe on so you can knock it out of the hub. I have included a link to a video and a link to an FAQ article that should help you.


In 2018, NeuroCheck GmbH has continued to follow its uninterrupted path of growth. By concentrating consistently on innovation, technology and efficiency, the company has once more reached a new turnover record. Even with a strong increase in the number of employees and expansion of equipment and facilities, results were on the same good level as in previous years.
Throughout the year, demand in the application area was consistently very positive. The development towards ever more demanding tasks in the automotive industry, machine manufacturing and medical products led to the application of many new technologies. Foremost among these are 3-D cameras, robot-based visual inspection solutions and deep learning classifiers that are already used in a wide range of applications.
While the proven software version NeuroCheck 6.1 is still the backbone of current projects, NeuroCheck 6.2 was introduced in the course of the past year. The new version has numerous new functions and is available in several new languages such as Chinese, French, Spanish and Romanian.
In the development area, a new team concentrating on deep learning applications has been established with the goal of easily integrating artificial intelligence in everyday inspections tasks. Because of our long-standing experience with neural network classifiers, rapid progress is to be expected.
The business result of our Chinese partner Intellisight Ltd. (Shanghai) more than doubled in 2018. Seeing to the needs of existing customers and successfully acquiring new ones were the reasons for this fantastic result in the dynamic Chinese market.
The company's management expects a positive development in 2019 despite some caution flags going up in the economic situation. The high quality of our systems in combination with years of experience in the application area continues to be in high demand by the market.
We would like to thank our customers, partners and suppliers for their trust and the excellent collaboration over the past year, and look forward to an exciting and prosperous year 2019.

Denver — State Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, introduced a resolution on Monday that would ask voters to allow the State Legislature to divert lottery proceeds from the Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) fund to education instead.
The ballot measure would be on the 2020 General Election ballot.
Beginning in the third quarter of the 2020-2021 fiscal year, net proceeds — after bond payments — from the GOCO fund could transfer into the state education fund if legislators prioritized education above parks.
In 2018, GOCO received $66,250,998 from lottery proceeds.
GOCO funds historically are distributed state-wide to municipalities and land trusts for parks, trails, wildlife, rivers and open spaces.
The changes would be an amendment to the Colorado Constitution and require 55 percent of the vote to pass.
Sonnenberg told Complete Colorado that he's anxious to see the conversation that develops around the resolution, but he's concerned the resolution will either never be heard or die in committee — if for no reason other than because it was introduced by a Republican.
Sonnenberg ran a similar resolution in 2010 that was opposed by teachers unions because they said the amount of money is "not enough," Sonnenberg said.
But Sonnenberg said money has to come from somewhere and this is good place to start if it's what the people of Colorado want.
The bill, which will likely pit environmentalists against education-funding activists, would not do away with GOCO, it would simply allow the legislature to decide on a yearly basis how much money from lottery sales would go to education and how much would go to parks and recreation.
There are no rules that require a resolution to be heard either in committee or on the floor. Therefore, depending on how Senate President Leroy Garcia, a Democrat, handles it, the resolution may just sit on the Senate Secretary's desk for the remainder of the session. It could be assigned to a committee or it could go straight to the floor for a full vote of the Senate.
Sonnenberg, whose northeast Colorado district comprises 11 counties and is home to more than one-quarter of Colorado's 178 school districts, said it's time to use whatever resources can be found to help fund education.
"If we want to really make education a priority, perhaps we ought to give people a chance to vote on it," Sonnenberg said.

The Pious Caliphate
Posted on 28 December 2013 at 13:44
Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A)
Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) was devoted friend of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). He was ready to sacrifice his life for the cause of Islam. After the death of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (R.A) was elected as the first khalifa of the Muslims. He was a kind - hearted person with a very humble nature. To his followers he said, "I am no better than others among you. Help me as long as I am on the right path, but stop me when I deviate".
He dealt sternly with Arab tribes who rose in rebels soon after the death of the Prophet (P.B.U.H). He took some effective measures for the presentation of Quran. He defeated those who refused to pay zakat and claimed to be false prophets. He maintained law and order and conquered some territories of Syria and Iraq. He fell ill after two years, and nominated Hazrat Umer (R.A) as his successor before passing away.
Hazrat Umer (R.A)
Hazrat Umer (R.A) was selected the second khalifa of the Muslims after the death of Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A). He remained the Caliph from 634 A.D. to 644 A.D. He was just, pious and an able administrator he served the people and state with great devotion. He was an administrative genius. He believed in the supremacy of law. He used to Roam through the streets at night to be aware of the first hand knowledge of his subjects. In his reign Persia, Syria, Palesitine, Egypt, Iraq Arabia and other places were conquered.
The fall of Persia was a surprising incident. No one would have thought that the nomadic tribes of Arabia could defeat such a powerful empire in the world. Perhaps this is why the Persian emperor had stared a quarrel with Arabs.
The dashing Khalifa was assassinated by a Persian slave Abu Lulu Feroz while leading a morning prayer.
Hazrat Usman (R.A)
At the age of seventy years, Hazrat Usman (R.A) was chosen the third Khalifa of the Muslim. His reign saw the expansion of Islam both in the east and west. The Muslim army advanced as for as Barka and Tripoli in North Africa during his caliphate, the naval power of the Muslims was established for the first time. Territories as far as Herat. Kabul and Ghazni were brought under the nominal control of the caliph. In the reign of Hazrat Usman (R.A) public works on a large scale were undertaken Roads, Bridges and mosques were built in large number. The most important achievement of his reign was the propagation of the Holy Quran throughout the lands conquered by the Arabs by that time.
He reigned from 644 A.D to 656 A.D. A group of Muslims opposed him on account of his administrative policies and actions. In the year 35 Hijri or 656 A.D the opponents entered his house and killed him when he was reciting Holy Quran.
Hazrat Ali (R.A)
After the martyrdom of Hazrat Usman (R.A), Hazrat Ali was elected as the fourth Khalifa of the Muslims. He was on outstanding genius. He was a great scholar and was known for his bravery he was therefore known as Asadullah meaning sword of Allah.
Hazrat Ali shifted the capital from Madina to Kufa in-order to keep the city of Prophet safe from political fighting that had already started by that time. He was gallant soldier and took part in almost all the battles that were fought during the life time of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). He was fatally attacked while praying in a mosque at Kufa in the year 661 A.D by a Khariji rebel named Abdul Rehman Bin Muljim. He succumbed to the injuries and died on 20 Ramzan.

Probe into dumped hospital waste
PUBLISHED: 23:48 16 April 2010 | UPDATED: 09:47 02 July 2010
Emily Dennis
The dumped hospital waste.
An investigation was under way today after tonnes of hospital waste were found dumped by the side of a road.
Hundreds of yellow bags of waste, which included human excrement, blood, dressings and used nappies were discovered yesterday morning in Beccles close to the town's old airfield.
The Environment Agency appealed for motorists to stay away from Hulver Road, where the waste was dumped, as a massive clear-up operation got under way.
Police cordoned off the area and a specialist waste disposal company was contacted to remove the three-and-a-half tonnes of waste to an appropriate treatment plant.
Environment Agency spokesman Marcus Sibley said: "We want drivers to stay away from the area for obvious health and safety reasons until this terrible fly-tip has been cleared.
"Hospitals should ensure that the companies they employ to take away their waste are properly registered to do so."
An Environment Agency spokeswoman said an investigation had been launched and that inquiries were taking place to determine the source of the waste.
"It may be one load from a hospital or collections from various ones," she said. "We are still looking into that at the minute. We know that it is hospital waste by the way it is bagged up.
"The waste is on the roadside and we do not want people to drive past. If anybody got near it and started looking in the bags, there could be issues with contamination."
The spokeswoman urged anyone with information about the incident to get in touch.
"Anybody with any information should call us in confidence," she said. "We want to find out who has done this fly-tipping.
"Whoever pollutes or creates fly-tipping is responsible for the cost of clearing it up."
The agency is asking anyone with any information to contact them in confidence on 0800 807060.

Starting from the early morning of April 2, 2016, the armed forces of Armenia increased fighting from their positions in the occupied territories, subjecting the armed forces of Azerbaijan along the line of contact and the adjacent densely populated areas under control of Azerbaijan to intensive fire with heavy artillery and large-caliber weapons. As a result of Armenia's attacks and subsequent hostilities, 34 towns and villages along the line of contact were shelled, a number of Azerbaijani civilians, including children, were killed and wounded. Substantial damages were inflicted upon the private and public property. Thus, 353 civilian buildings, among them 314 residential houses, 3 schools, 3 kindergartens, 1 cultural center and other civilian objects were either destroyed or damaged. Furthermore, 357 electricity poles, 3 power substations, 30 transformers, as well as water reservoirs, gas pipelines, roads and other property were damaged. An updated information on the consequences of attacks by the armed forces of Armenia as of 18 April 2016 is attached.
Armenia's offensive actions also caused casualties and injuries among the servicemen of the armed forces of Azerbaijan. On 10 April 2016, the International Committee of the Red Cross facilitated the handover, between the sides, of the bodies of those killed in action following the recent escalation. Subsequently performed forensic medical examination registered numerous signs of post-mortem mutilation of the bodies of Azerbaijani servicemen.
Armenia's direct and deliberate attacks against the Azerbaijani civilian population and civilian objects, as well as inhuman acts against Azerbaijani militaries constitute a serious violation of international humanitarian and human rights law, in particular the 1949 Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I thereto, the 1954 Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict and its protocols, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
Alongside the Republic of Armenia's responsibility as a State for internationally wrongful acts, violations by Armenia of international humanitarian and human rights law during the conflict amount to crimes under international criminal law. The overall assessment of the causes and consequences of the war unleashed by Armenia against Azerbaijan make it absolutely clear that the crimes committed by Armenia during the conflict were not isolated or sporadic acts, but were part of Armenia's widespread and systematic policy and practice of atrocities. The Republic of Azerbaijan is confident that the consistent measures being taken at the national level, as well as the existing international legal framework, will serve to bring to justice those responsible for the grave offences committed in the course of Armenia's aggression against Azerbaijan.

« Forced Arbitration Closes Out Our Summer | Main | 9/11 Victims to the Saudis: See You In Court? »
Forced Arbitration – Can't Get Away from It
We tried. We took about a month off following our last post, "Forced Arbitration Closes Out Our Summer." While we were away, the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's arbitration rule deadline passed and tons of letters came in supporting CFPB's rule to ban class action waivers – including one signed by 280 consumer groups! (We would have written about this at the time but we were busy luxuriating in our secret hot tub in the woods.)
But as soon as we returned, the biggest "arbitration hypocrite" story ever showed up!
Today, Fox and Roger Ailes agreed to settle Gretchen Carlson's sexual harassment lawsuit for $20 million and an apology, after Fox and Ailes argued for months that the case should be buried in secret arbitration and kept out of court. As reported just recently by Erik Wemple in the Washington Post:
[T]he leading cable news outlet is asking the New York state Supreme Court to push the case into a shadowy proceeding under the control of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). "After shopping her supposed harassment story directly to the media without much success, she decided simply to ignore her obligation to proceed in arbitration, just as she ignored her other contractual commitments at Fox News, leading to her suspension," reads the motion drafted by attorney David Garland, who is representing Fox News and executives Dianne Brandi, Irena Briganti, Suzanne Scott and Bill Shine.
That's not exactly hypocritical. Here's what is. The very same day that Mr. Ailes gave in, he apparently threatened to sue the New Yorker magazine in court for supposedly defaming him:
Roger Ailes, the former CEO of Fox News who left the company amid accusations that he sexually harassed women, has indicated that he and his wife might sue New York magazine, the magazine confirmed Monday.
"New York Media and Gabriel Sherman were contacted by Charles Harder on behalf of Roger and Elizabeth Ailes, asking that we preserve documents related to the Ailes, for a possible defamation claim," a spokesperson for the publication told POLITICO in a statement. "The letter sent by Harder was not informative as to the substance of their objections to the reporting."
This reminds me of the time when now Fox Business host (and former 20/20 correspondent) John Stossel sued a pro wrestler who hit him after Stossel implied pro wrestling was fake. This came after years of Stossel railing against people who file lawsuits ("We all have pain and suffering in our lives. And if each time we hang onto it until we get some kind of compensation, society can't work"). Stossel accepted $200,000 for his pain and suffering.
We last wrote about this in a post we called "Hypocrisy, thy name is John Stossel." Let's make it simple. Change to: "Hypocrisy, thy name is [insert name of current or former Fox honcho]."

Thirty-Eighth Street THRIVE Strategic Development Plan
The Thirty-Eighth Street THRIVE Strategic Development Plan is an opportunity towards continuing the legacy and heritage of a deeply rooted African American community by preserving their economic vibrancy, creative identity, and affordability that strengthens the vitality, resilience and partnership of the people who live and work in the district. The plan has been created by community stakeholders of the Thirty-Eighth Street Cultural District, in collaboration with the City of Minneapolis.
The plan aims to be concise and visionary, and targets what the community wants to change and how they want to develop over a ten-year period to 2030. In addition to serving as the primary vision document for the Thirty-Eighth Street Cultural District. This Strategic Plan will also implement the policies of Minneapolis 2040 to achieve comprehensive plan goals such as to create more affordable and accessible housing opportunities and increase access to living-wage jobs.
Community Engagement and Participation
In 2015, we held a planning series titled "The Future of East 38th Street," hosted by former Ward 8 Council Member Elizabeth Glidden. Those meetings formulated several ideas, priorities and recommendations for our communities, including the preservation of African American history and community ownership to name a few. That work carried forward through additional engagement meetings and with the reconstruction of the 38th
Street Bridge under Ward 8 Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins.
In February 2019, CVP Jenkins decided to continue the planning work to create THRIVE, a strategic development plan by the community, in collaboration with the City of Minneapolis. At the kickoff meeting we were asked, "what is equitable engagement?" We wanted to be at the table from the beginning, an all-inclusive and accessible process, engaged with sensitivity & reflective of our community, accountability, cocreation, ownership and intentional impact. A planning committee of community members was formed to drive the planning process, conduct engagements and draft the
plan for the broader community's approval. Throughout the planning process, the committee met to work on developing the vision, strategies, action steps based on the community's priorities. In addition to, brainstorming how to best engage the broader community and receive input.
The City of Minneapolis is seeking community feedback for the final revision to the 38th Street Strategic Development THRIVE Plan. Proposed changes would best describe where and how the community wants to grow, based on historical roots, a desire for stronger community vitality and sustainable economic growth in the future.
